The Spy

Chapter 112 Investigating an Old Case
At the Shanghai Special High Section, the telecommunications team leader came to the section chief's office with the telegram he had just received.

"You go back first."

After reading the contents of the telegram, Section Chief Kawashima Hirosuke waved his hand gently, and the head of the telecommunications team bowed and left.

"Aoki, come here."

Picking up the phone, Kawashima Hirosuke called his confidant, the head of the intelligence team, Aoki Mori. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but snorted.

The damn South actually played a dirty trick on him.

"Section Chief, I'm here."

Aoki Mori arrived very quickly. Aoki Mori was 28 years old this year. He graduated from the Japanese Army Officer Academy. He had excellent academic performance and was one of the elites among the elites.

Five years ago, he was spotted by Kawashima Hirosuke and was taken as his confidant. Now he has the rank of lieutenant colonel.

"check it out."

Kawashima handed the telegram on the table to Aoki, and took down a samurai short sword behind him, drew it out, and wiped it gently.

"The South has no good intentions."

As soon as he finished reading, Aoki looked up. Kawashima didn't say anything. Aoki pondered for a moment and continued, "Nanbu relied on his relationship with the headquarters and never obeyed your orders. He didn't even report such a big thing as a traitor to the Nanjing Military Intelligence Department. It was not until later that we found out when something happened to our people."

"He refused to hand the people over to us again. This time he lost his people, but he wants us to help him get revenge."

"Any more?"

Kawashima continued to wipe the samurai sword as if he was protecting his most beloved treasure.

"If we go and the assassination is successful, Nanbu can say that he provided the information. If it fails, the responsibility is on us. If there is a loss, you will definitely be scolded by the chief. No matter how you look at it, it will be a losing deal."

Aoki Mori spoke slowly, and Kawashima finally raised his head, smiled and nodded: "You are right, what should we do?"

"Section Chief, return the assassination mission to Nanbu and the others."

“This is not the best approach.”

Kawashima shook his head slightly. He saw through the trick of using a knife to kill someone at a glance.

This old guy, relying on his seniority and connections at the headquarters, has always been perfunctory in following his orders, which has long annoyed him.

"Section Chief, what do you think?" Aoki Mori lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

"Investigate, don't kill."

Kawashima said softly. Aoki was slightly stunned, then gave a thumbs up: "Section Chief is smart. Nanjing is our responsibility after all. The other party has arrested our people. If we don't do something, it will be easy for that old guy in Nanbu to complain to the chief section chief."

"We will find out what they can't figure out, and then the pressure will be on them."

"High, really high."

Aoki kept flattering him, and Kawashima smiled even more. The telegram sent from Nanbu did not mention the arrest process at all, but instead praised Xu Qingyun, who arrested people, as an intelligence genius, saying that there would be endless troubles if he was not eliminated.

Xu Qingyun knew about the matter in Tianjin and had asked about it in detail, and he did have some clues.

However, neither Tianjin nor they are aware of the specific process of the case.

"Wake up the mountain ghost and let him investigate this matter."

Kawashima said again, Aoki was slightly startled, then lowered his head: "Hayi, I will wake him up right away."

Yamagui is an agent arranged by Aoki himself, hidden in the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department, and has been in a dormant state.

He had thought about using the mountain ghosts before and letting them master various intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, but was rejected by the section chief.

The reason is that the Military Intelligence Department does not pose much threat to them, and it is not time to activate it yet, so they should not bring danger to the mountain ghosts because of a trivial matter.

Today, this important chess piece is finally going to be used.

It's like they placed a pair of eyes in the Military Intelligence Department.

Aoki has absolute confidence in Shan Gui, and he believes that Shan Gui will be able to find out everything.

"Go."

Kawashima nodded slightly, and Aoki left respectfully.

The Japanese have coveted China for a long time, and for a hundred years they have been thinking about swallowing up the biggest piece of fat meat around them.

They were even more covetous of Shanghai. Three years ago, the Japanese secretly planned and framed Shanghai by Kawashima Akihiro, using the murder of a Japanese monk as an excuse. They shamelessly launched an attack and wanted to occupy Shanghai.

Fortunately, the defenders put up strong resistance and the Japanese were eventually forced to give up.

But they have never stopped wanting to completely occupy the heart of Shanghai.

Kawashima attached great importance to both Shanghai and Nanjing and collected a large amount of important intelligence. However, he would not send people to Nanjing to assassinate Chinese agents, especially those who had just made contributions, just because of a telegram from Nanbu.

At this time, Nanjing must be providing strong protection for this new agent.

Kawashima is very careful and never does anything without certainty.

He was indeed right. Xu Qingyun had caught many Japanese spies, so Xu Zhanjie attached great importance to his safety. Xu Qingyun rarely left the headquarters and went out alone.

During this period, Xu Qingyun almost always followed Xu Zhanjie and indeed learned a lot.

Xu Zhanjie is very experienced and he can be said to be unreserved when teaching Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun already had a complete understanding of the current situation in Nanjing, the situation of the Kuomintang, and the internal situation of the Military Intelligence Department, which was far more detailed than what he would have known from hearsay in later life.

The Kuomintang has many factions and complex relationships.

These things are simply impossible to learn anywhere else, and having a better teacher really makes a difference.

At the Western Suburbs Branch, Xu Qingshi was in his office.

He was a deputy director who was parachuted in and had just arrived in Nanjing. Apart from the eight people he brought with him, he had no roots here.

After the last case was handled, the police department gave them a verbal praise.

Just praise, no substantial reward.

It also shows the attitude of the police department towards them.

Xu Qingshi didn't care. He arranged his eight men together and appointed a police chief to form a small team.

The director reluctantly gave them a small piece of land.

They are all outside the city, and the people living there are all poor people. Even if you squeeze them clean, you can't get more than three ounces of oil.

Xu Qingshi was not the kind of person who exploited the people. It didn't matter to him whether he had territory or not. As long as he could gain a firm foothold first, he could develop slowly in the future.

He knew very well that there would be xenophobia everywhere.

As long as the director and others don't dare to do anything to him, it will be fine. He now has the support of the Military Intelligence Department, and others really don't dare to do anything to them.

"Deputy Director Xu, this is something the Director has specifically instructed you to do."

Xu Qingshi was in the office when someone suddenly knocked on the door and came in and put a box on the table.

"what is this?"

Xu Qingshi recognized him, he was from the logistics department, and he didn't understand why he suddenly sent him something.

"You will know after you take a look. I will take my leave first."

The visitor smiled and lowered his head, then left the office and closed the door when he left.

His attitude was good, but from the way he addressed her, it was clear that they did not have much respect for Xu Qingshi, otherwise they would not have used the word "deputy".

It is also possible that he is the director's man and he called him that on purpose to avoid the director from thinking too much. Xu Qingshi opened the box and his eyes narrowed immediately.

There was a lot of dollars in it. He counted it and it was exactly one hundred and twenty dollars, which was much more than his salary.

Why did the director ask someone to give him money?

Although the Xijiao Branch does not have much money, it controls several important channels.

They are not responsible for the city gate, but they have checkpoints outside the city. This checkpoint has the most profits and has always been controlled by the director himself. The person in charge at the checkpoint is his confidant.

Xu Qingshi put the box away first, called his men over, and asked them to find out what happened.

"Director, you are not the only one. All the people above the section chief level get it. Section chiefs get less, only 80 yuan. You are the deputy director, so it is a little more."

The subordinates found out the truth very quickly. This was an undisclosed secret in the bureau and everyone knew it.

"Okay, go do your work first."

Everyone has it, so it's not targeted at him, but the problem can be seen from the way the money was divided this time.

There are more than a dozen section chiefs in the Western Suburbs Branch. If each of them earns 80 yuan a month, that's almost a thousand yuan a year, and the total amount of money they distribute is more than 10,000 yuan.

How much do they have to collect every year to give out so much?

This money is all the people's hard-earned money. The police station never dares to offend those who have real power. Let alone taking money, it is considered good if they don't give money.

The people who receive money from them are basically powerless ordinary people.

What is the difference between the current Guo Party and the corrupt officials in previous dynasties?
Unfortunately, he couldn't change all this. Even if he became the director, this phenomenon still existed. Anywhere, if you hinder the interests of the majority of people, they will bite you madly until you are torn to pieces.

"Team leader, I'm back."

Xu Qingyun was in the office when Yan Ming pushed the door open.

“Here’s what you wanted.”

Yan Ming was holding a stack of information in his hand. Something happened at Guangzhou Station, and Xu Zhanjie was sent by the department to deal with it. He had no classes for the past few days.

Xu Qingyun didn't want to waste time, so he asked Yan Ming to get the information of the two people who had escaped before.

Because of Lu Dawang, the two clues that Xu Zhanjie had obtained with great difficulty became useless. As long as Lu Dawang was not dead, Xu Zhanjie would not forgive him, and his death would probably be more painful.

"Leave it here."

Xu Qingyun nodded. These materials were originally confidential, but their importance was greatly reduced after the person escaped. Xu Qingyun was able to borrow them and read them in the office.

"Team leader, everyone has run away. Can we still find them?"

Yan Ming put down the information and asked in a low voice. If someone else said that they could find it, he would definitely sneer at it, but if Xu Qingyun said so, he would believe it without a doubt.

Ever since Xu Qingyun went to Tianjin Station, everything he did was very meaningful. He always thought of things that they could not think of, which made Yan Ming admire him very much.

"It's difficult. They are probably no longer in Nanjing."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. Exposed undercover personnel would usually withdraw, or change their identities and continue to hide somewhere else.

And it must be somewhere far away from Nanjing to avoid being discovered.

"So you still read these materials?"

Yan Ming was stunned. If he couldn't find the person, wouldn't it be a waste of time to look at the information?

"When a person does something, they always leave traces. Anyway, I haven't had much fun recently, so I'll see if I can find someone related to them."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said that he was a footprint expert and was very sensitive to all kinds of traces.

The same is true in life. Everything you do will leave a trace. Through these traces, you can trace back their past tracks. If you can find them, that's the best. If you can't, it's just an exercise.

"I see. I'll watch it with you."

Yan Ming understood what Xu Qingyun meant. The people who escaped had lived in Nanjing and must have had contact with many people, including their superiors or subordinates.

Or other traitors.

Investigate their past and find suspicious people from the traces, maybe you will get something.

Xu Qingyun did not refuse. Not long after, Fang Laibao came running over. He saw that Yan Ming had not returned since he received the task of team leader, so he came to check on him.

There were now three people looking at the information.

The Japanese spy being targeted by Xu Zhanjie was disguised as Kong Yufa, and was a mathematics teacher at the Third Middle School.

According to the information, his native place is Shandong. Based on investigation, he does speak like a person from Shandong.

Japan occupied the Northeast, and there were many people from Shandong there, so it was normal for them to learn the Shandong accent.

Kong Yufa usually had a good reputation. Neither his colleagues nor his neighbors knew that he was a Japanese spy. After he escaped, the Military Intelligence Department investigated the people around them but did not reveal his true identity.

During the survey, many people said good things about him.

Kong Yufa arrived in Nanjing three years ago. He has won the title of outstanding teacher for two consecutive years and his students respect him very much.

Even if he doesn't have many students all over the world, at least he can influence quite a few people.

Xu Qingyun never neglected his students. Student education was more important. However, some students in later generations had their minds twisted. They believed that the moon was rounder in foreign countries and even tried to exonerate the Japanese. They did not believe in the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese.

There were such people in later generations, and there are such people now as well.

In the past three years, Kong Yufa has taught many classes. Xu Qingyun doesn’t have extra time now, so he can pay attention to their thoughts in the future.

If there is anything wrong, target it as soon as possible.

When the Japanese came, these people were the representatives of hardcore traitors. They helped their new masters to harm their compatriots, and their methods were even more cruel than the Japanese.

Kong Yufa has no relatives in Nanjing and his social life is simple.

Apart from school and home, he only goes to the bookstore to buy books and doesn't go anywhere else.

In the eyes of his colleagues, he is a good teacher who is diligent and studious.

After he left, the principal asked why he suddenly disappeared and whether he was persecuted by someone.

Pingchuan has confessed that he does not know Kong Yufa's true identity, but he is certain that he is a Japanese, belongs to the Shanghai Special High Section, and is lurking in Nanjing.

Kong Yufa left in a hurry and escaped without being monitored.

He must have realized he was exposed before escaping.

The intelligence personnel who were monitoring him did not let him discover it. Someone notified him, but the intelligence department did not find out how the notification was made.

It was certain that it was not a phone call. He didn't have a phone at home and he hadn't received any calls before he ran away.

Xu Qingyun read his information carefully and closed his eyes in thought.

His social relationships were simple, and there was little possibility that there were problems among his school colleagues and neighbors. There were not too many Japanese spies, and they would not have deployed so many people in one place.

But nothing is absolute, and we still need to check what needs to be checked.

Kong Yufa is lurking in the school, and he will definitely find ways to collect intelligence or instigate useful Chinese people.

These are the two main categories of Japanese spy intelligence work.

As for assassination and sabotage, that is the job of the action team, and undercover personnel generally won't do that.

Now is not the time for all-out war of resistance. When an emergency really comes, one person will have to do multiple things and the divisions will not be so detailed. Intelligence personnel will still have to take action when important intelligence needs to be collected, and action personnel will also have to do it if they have the conditions.
