The Spy

Chapter 114 Ninety percent sure
After thinking about it, Xu Qingshi gave up the idea of ​​asking the teacher for help.

For the same reason as before, confirm the identity before reporting. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Team leader, I investigated all the photo studios in Nanjing and found another photo studio that was opened by Boss Liu, also three years ago. The others were not."

"Four in total?"

Xu Qingyun stood up. If Boss Liu was a Japanese spy, it meant that there were also Japanese spies lurking near the remaining three photo studios. It was indeed a good idea to use the signal that the photo studios used to notify the Japanese spies.

"Immediately investigate the areas around the four photo studios to find out who came here three years ago and rented houses there, with a focus on singles or couples."

Xu Qingyun gave the order, and Fang Laibao was stunned.

He is alone, and the workload is obviously huge. If he relies on himself to find out, how long will it take him to find out?

"My brother's people will assist you."

Xu Qingyun understood Fang Laibao's thoughts. He had no one, but Xu Qingshi did.

He knew his brother's situation at the police station. When he first arrived, he was not taken seriously and the chief was wary of him, so he didn't have much to do.

Including Xu Qingshi's subordinates, they are also very idle, so it is no problem to send a few people over to help.

"Thank you, Team Leader."

Fang Laibao breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the police, the investigation would progress quickly. He was afraid of delaying important matters if he relied on himself alone and it was a secret investigation.

When Xu Qingshi received a call from Xu Qingyun, he agreed without hesitation.

The subordinates are bored and have nothing to do now, so they go to help my brother with the case and accumulate some merits at the same time.

"Team leader, Boss Liu's real name is Liu Qiaosheng. I have found out how it operates."

The next day, Yan Ming returned and reported immediately.

"Liu Qiaosheng and his employees split the profits 50-50, but they have to deduct costs. The cost of setting up the store is deducted from 10% of the monthly turnover, and then the rent, electricity, protection fees, material costs, various fees, etc."

"After deductions, employees can earn at least 20% per month. The store I asked about had a monthly business of 200 to 300 yuan, and the highest they could get was 60 yuan. They work very hard."

"And once the store construction costs were deducted, the rest was split equally. The store made back its profits in just over a year. Now the employees' net income is at least 50 to 60 yuan per month."

The profit-sharing model does make it easy to motivate employees and let them do it as if it were their own business.

"Have the employees ever thought about cooking the books to make more money?" Xu Qingyun asked

"It can't be done. All the raw materials are provided by Liu Qiaosheng. He will check regularly. In addition, a copy of all the photos taken must be kept. Boss Liu will secretly send someone to take the photo. If he finds that there is no photo, the cooperation will be terminated immediately. In addition, he often calls the store to ask about the situation."

Yan Ming shook his head. Boss Liu was very smart and good at doing business.

"He had a store that had this kind of situation, so Liu Qiaosheng fired him. Later, the people in that store went to open a photo studio somewhere else, but the business was not as good as before. Liu Qiaosheng was very good at choosing locations, and all the places he chose had good business."

Yan Ming learned a lot of information from the fired employees.

Although they were fired, they did not have any particular resentment towards Boss Liu. Boss Liu produced solid evidence and gave them some extra money when they left, allowing them to fend for themselves.

Their photo studio is not as profitable as Boss Liu's, but it is still profitable and they can survive.

"Team leader, there must be something seriously wrong with Liu Qiaosheng. I've asked many people, but no one knows where he lives."

The more mysterious a person is, the bigger the problems he or she may have.

"Team leader, I suggest we go to the police station first to check where Liu Qiaosheng is."

To live in Nanjing, one must apply for an identity certificate. Their names and addresses are on file, but there were no computers at the time and the files were stored by district.

It's a lot of work to search among all the people.

"Okay, I'll find someone to help you."

Going to the police station to investigate also requires manpower. Even if Yan Ming reveals his identity and is able to access the information, it will take too long for him to search through so much information one by one.

Nanjing has a population of one million, and Liu is a common surname, with at least tens of thousands of people.

Just looking at these names made him dizzy.

"Thank you, Team Leader."

Yan Ming grinned, and Xu Qingyun stood up and walked over to Intelligence Group 3.

My brother's people are helping Fang Laibao with the investigation, so Yan Ming can only look for help from within.

The six people who helped with the case before were good, and they are seconded again this time.

Xu Zhanjie was not in Nanjing, so Xu Qingyun came to find them in person. Intelligence Group 3 was closest to them and came here first.

It is not difficult to borrow people, and the case is kept confidential for the time being. Xiang Jason did not ask many questions and directly ordered the two to report to Yan Ming.

The same is true for group two and group one.

With six more people, Yan Ming reduced a lot of workload.

Before the investigation, Xu Qingyun once again instructed Yan Ming that even if he went to the police station to investigate, he should not reveal his identity casually. He must not let the people at the police station know who he was investigating and pretend to be investigating the household registration or someone else.

If the Military Intelligence Department can instigate traitors, the same is possible in the police station. We must be extremely careful.

As soon as Yan Ming left, Fang Laibao came back to report.

"Team leader, I found two people near another photo studio. They both moved here three years ago, two months apart. One of them runs a business, and the other works at the police station."

"Police station, which police station?"

Xu Qingyun asked immediately, Yan Ming had just gone to the police station to investigate.

"East City Precinct. He's doing well there and is now the chief of police."

"Go to the East City Branch right away and tell Yan Ming to come back immediately."

Xu Qingyun gave the order quickly. He was worried that there might be someone from their side in the police station, but now one of them appeared.

Since there is a suspect in the police station, it is best not to make any noise to avoid alerting the suspect as much as possible.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Fang Laibao understood what was going on and ran out immediately. When he chased after him, Yan Ming had just arrived at the East City Branch.

Of the four photo studios opened by Liu Qiaosheng, three are located in the east of the city, so Yan Ming naturally checked there first.

"Team leader, do you want to keep an eye on that policeman first?" Yan Ming asked as soon as he entered the office.

On the way back, Yan Ming learned about the situation from Fang Laibao and found out that a person was suspected to be a Japanese spy, and he was in the East City Branch.

To be on the safe side, it is not suitable to go to the East City Branch now.

"No, keep an eye on all the photo studios. Liu Qiaosheng will definitely go there. If you find Liu Qiaosheng, keep an eye on him. Remember, take pictures of him and his footprints whenever you have the chance. Don't follow him too closely. It's better to lose him than to wake him up."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. As long as the Japanese spies didn't know they were exposed, they would not leave easily. It was not easy for them to hide. Before they were confirmed to be exposed, they would lie dormant even if there was danger.

Once you evacuate in a hurry, it will be difficult to come back.

Kong Yufa evacuated after he was sure that he was exposed. He was being targeted and had to leave. Liu Qiaosheng would not easily evacuate before he was sure that he was exposed.

Xu Qingyun has limited manpower, so there is no need to keep an eye on the suspicious policeman at this time. As long as Liu Qiaosheng's identity can be confirmed, no one can escape.

"Yes."

Yan Ming took the order and left, and Xu Qingyun continued to analyze all the current clues.

According to Pingchuan's confession, Kong Yufa escaped quickly after they reported the intelligence, with only one day in between.

This means that the communication must have been made through a radio station, and the radio station is most likely in Liu Qiaosheng's hands.

Find his residence, search secretly, find the radio station or any other clues of Japanese spies, and arrest him immediately.

If we pry open his mouth, we can still find out where the others are. "Team leader, we can't find anyone who meets the requirements near this photo studio."

With more manpower, Fang Laibao's investigation progressed much faster. They conducted a secret investigation, mainly asking questions around the photo studio.

Xu Qingyun set a range for them.

First of all, the distance is not too far. Kong Yufa’s house is only a hundred meters away from the photo studio.

The second one was three years ago, which was about the same time the photo studio opened.

The photo studio near Kong Yufa was opened a month after he moved in.

The time is set two months before and after the opening of the photo studio.

Third, those who rent or buy a house should keep an eye on it for now and not conduct any investigation.

Fourth, it is unlikely that singles or couples will bring children with them. The same is true for groups of people together. They are hidden agents, and it is not convenient for them to work together. Instead, it will cause waste.

Nothing is absolute. Xu Qingyun just asked them not to investigate these people for the time being, but if they asked any questions, they would still have to record them in the book.

Living here for many years means you don't really do any research.

"No?"

Xu Qingyun's eyebrows jumped. According to his speculation, there should be such a person near every photo studio. The fact that he didn't find him meant that his previous speculation was wrong.

“Has anyone moved away recently?”

Xu Qingyun asked, and Fang Laibao shook his head: "We asked, no."

"What about the last one?"

"We are checking it now. We should be able to finish it tomorrow."

There are four photo studios. There is no need to check the one at Kong Yufa's. A policeman was found before, but not this one. Only one is left to be checked.

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep checking and see if there is a suitable escape route near the photo studio."

Xu Qingyun did not change the plan. There were many reasons for the deviation. It was possible that the Japanese spies here lived farther away and beyond the scope of their investigation.

It is also possible that there were no Japanese spies. The photo studio was normal and they were just businessmen.

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, the recent investigation has been a waste of time.

However, as long as there is a suspect, Xu Qingyun will investigate it thoroughly.

Until his identity is confirmed, if he is a Japanese spy, we will never let him go. If he is not a Japanese spy, we will not kill innocent people to gain credit or wrongly accuse innocent people.

Due to lack of manpower, he cannot expand the scope now. If he expands a little, Fang Laibao and his team's workload will increase tremendously. The investigation is based on the photo studio as the radius. The further it expands outward, the number of people investigated will double.

There is an emergency evacuation route near Kong Yufa, and other people should also have one, so we can investigate it together as a direction.

It is much easier to check this than to check people.

"It's not that hard, I'll go right away."

Fang Laibao chuckled and ran out immediately, while Xu Qingyun tapped the table with a pen in his hand.

The Japanese spies were more cunning than they had imagined, Xu Qingyun had a deep understanding of this, but there were also mixed qualities among the Japanese spies, for example, Kawata, his performance was much better than Miyajima.

Opponents like Kawata are the most difficult to deal with. I hope it’s not someone like Kawata this time.

Two days later, Fang Laibao came to report that no suspicious persons were found in the last location.

There are many restrictions and a small scope, so suspicious persons are easy to screen.

There are four photo studios, but only two of them are suspects?
Kong Yufa has already escaped, which means the only suspect is the policeman.

Xu Qingyun frowned, was this all just a coincidence?

will not.

How can a normal businessman be so secretive that even his employees don’t know where they live?

In addition to Kong Yufa's mysterious disappearance and no signal found on the wall, the photo studio is still the biggest suspect at this point.

"Team leader, although I didn't find the person, I found suitable escape locations near these three photo studios."

Fang Laibao whispered that Kong Yufa's was closer, the police's was not far away, and the other two were a little further away.

“For these locations, check again using the same range.”

Xu Qingyun ordered. Liu Qiaosheng had not appeared yet, but he had made a call. Yan Ming stared at the phone.

The public telephone Liu Qiaosheng used was always in a different location.

Such behavior is even more suspicious.

It is extremely normal for a boss like him to have a telephone installed at home, but he doesn't make calls at home, but uses an outside phone and changes his location every time. What is he trying to hide?
If Xu Qingyun only had 30% confidence before, now he has 60%.

Fang Laibao left and continued to check. Yan Ming was looking for a suitable area on the map based on the locations of several different calls.

People usually don't have to go too far to make a phone call. Liu Qiaosheng has called four times, and Yan Ming has already drawn a suitable range based on the map.

At present, Yan Ming is still focusing on the photo studio. Once Liu Qiaosheng shows up, he can find him directly.

"Team leader, someone has appeared."

Just one day later, Yan Ming came back excitedly, and Xu Qingyun immediately stood up.

"Did you find the address?"

"No, he was very alert and took anti-tracking actions. I didn't dare to follow him too closely and lost him, but I was able to determine the range and secretly took photos, which are being cleaned urgently."

Yan Ming shook his head. The people he brought with him were from the intelligence department, so there was no problem in keeping an eye on them.

It is better to lose than to wake up because of the team leader's instruction, and he remembered it clearly.

"Well done, I'll report it now."

Xu Qingyun stood up. His anti-tracking action was equivalent to Liu Qiaosheng revealing his identity. Who would normally do that?
Originally the confidence was 60%, but now it is 90%.

In 90% of the cases, there is no need to confirm your identity before reporting. You can do it now and request support at the same time.

Xu Zhanjie didn't come back, so Xu Qingyun reported to Deputy Section Chief Miao Feng.

"Found a Japanese spy suspect?"

After hearing what Xu Qingyun said, Miao Feng could no longer sit still. He stood up and asked in surprise.

Miao Feng is a Virgo, but he usually works well with Xu Zhanjie. He is also an intelligence elite, but he is usually low-key and not so conspicuous.

After all, he is the deputy section chief and he knows everything about the section.

"Yes, nothing happened recently. I checked Kong Yufa's information again. During the on-site investigation, I found a photo studio near his home that was suspicious. The owner was Liu Qiaosheng, a mysterious person..."

Xu Qingyun explained slowly, Miao Feng's eyes kept flashing, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

Xu Qingyun did so many things silently?

The suspect who notified Kong Yufa of his escape has now been identified, the only thing left is finding his residence.

But with so many clues, it's not difficult to find him.

"How could you find so much information just by a few of you?"

Miao Feng couldn't help but ask. He didn't doubt Xu Qingyun, he just found it hard to believe.
