The Spy

Chapter 121 Action
Yang Wenxu climbed up from under the stone bench, furious. He didn't believe that An Guocai came to the park just for a walk.

Do you have to run that far for a walk and take a rickshaw?
This is simply sick.

An Guocai is not sick. He is most likely a Japanese spy and he must have other intentions in coming to the park.

"Team Leader, do you want to tell Team Leader Xu about the situation?"

The subordinate next to him asked carefully. Yang Wenxu put away his emotions, thought for a while, and finally waved his hand helplessly: "Go."

The situation must be reported. This is Miao Feng's order.

They will cooperate with whoever is in charge of the case.

If he dares not to report and delays important matters, not only will Miao Feng not forgive him, but the section chief will also be in trouble when he returns.

On the other side, An Guocai returned home safely. On the way back, he made another anti-tracking move. Just like before, he got off the car nearby, walked around the alley, and finally went home.

All these situations are summarized by Xu Qingyun.

"Two anti-tracking actions, and only one turn in the park?"

Xu Qingyun's eyebrows twitched slightly. It was impossible for An Guocai to run out like this for no reason. He must have his own intentions.

Test?
Do you do this on purpose because you want to know if you are being watched?

If this is true, he should have noticed something, but this possibility is not high. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not even install a bug.

An Guocai lives alone, so there is not much point in installing a bug.

Since it wasn't a test, then he must have done something.

But he succeeded in hiding it from the people who were watching him.

As required, Group 2 was not allowed to get close during surveillance and tracking, and could only observe from a distance, as they might miss something.

"Which park did he go to?"

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask, and the second team member who came to report immediately replied: "Xuanwu Park."

"Take me there."

Xu Qingyun has to go to the scene in person. If An Guocai did anything, the most likely thing was in the park, followed by a rickshaw.

He took two rickshaws, both of which had to be checked.

Rickshaws are less likely, but they should also be checked.

Yan Ming received an order to investigate the rickshaw, while Xu Qingyun brought the second group of people to the park.

"Team Leader Xu, he got off the bus here and went in for a walk."

When they arrived near the park, the second group of members pointed ahead and carefully described the route that An Guocai had taken.

After noting down the route, Xu Qingyun took him inside.

There were not too many people in the park at that time, and An Guocai did not walk on the main road in the park, so his footprints still remain.

Following his footprints, Xu Qingyun walked slowly.

Not long after walking, Xu Qingyun suddenly stopped.

"What did he do here?"

There are traces of a stop here. The team member who was asked was stunned. How did Team Leader Xu know that An Guocai had stopped here?

In fact, even he was not particularly clear about the specific location where they stayed, but he did not expect Team Leader Xu to ask about it.

"It seemed like he was smelling flowers, and he even picked one."

"Where did you pick it? Is it here?" Xu Qingyun asked immediately.

"No, in front."

The team members shook their heads slightly. An Guocai stopped more than once, and they wrote down every time.

Xu Qingyun carefully examined the area and continued to move forward.

“These are the flowers I picked here.”

Coming to a bush of flowers, the team member pointed at the flowers in front of them and said, Xu Qingyun narrowed his eyes, An Guocai was closer to the bush here.

He bent down, and the shoe prints in the front were deeper.

These flowers are not that low, and some of them can be picked without bending over. Why bend over?
Xu Qingyun squatted down and carefully examined the flowers, and soon found a broken branch.

Judging from the fracture marks, it was broken off not long ago.

Xu Qingyun immediately searched carefully and found broken flower branches scattered on the ground.

Who broke this branch and why?
Picking up the flower branch, Xu Qingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. There were traces of something sticking on the flower branch.

"Take this flower branch for testing."

Xu Qingyun stood up and handed the flower branch to the person next to him. He understood what An Guocai came here for. It was not to deliver information but to get something.

He took away what was given to him.

The flower branch is not big, so the thing he took away must not be heavy. The most likely thing is a piece of stuck paper. This patch of flowers is so big that it must be stuck inside and cannot be seen at all unless you pull them apart.

No wonder Yang Wenxu found nothing at the trash can and the stone bench. The dead mailbox was not there, but here.

It seems that the Japanese put a lot of thought into coming up with this dead mailbox.

After getting up, Xu Qingyun also checked the trash can and the stone bench, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, he returned to the Military Intelligence Department.

An Guocai took away a piece of intelligence today, but the content is not clear yet.

There are two possibilities to take the information. The first is to notify him online to take it, and the second is to take it at a fixed time.

If he was notified, how did his superior notify him?

An Guocai was under surveillance. Except for working hours and when he was alone at home, his every move outside was clearly observed.

It should be impossible during working hours. There were not many workers with An Guocai, and they have been investigated and nothing unusual was found.

But there is a possibility that the workers' lack of knowledge helped convey the message.

This is not difficult to investigate. There are only a few workers working with An Guocai. We can find out if we investigate their whereabouts before today and see if there is anything unusual.

Second, signal on his way to and from get off work.

However, Liu Qiaosheng did not receive the order to release the signal, not through the observer, but possibly from his superior.

It is about three miles from the factory to his home, which is not a short distance. Signals to notify him may appear in any place he passes by, making the investigation quite difficult.

No matter how difficult it is, we must check everything that needs to be checked.

Yang Wenxu soon learned that Xu Qingyun had gone to the scene and found the location of the dead mailbox.

An Guocai took something away, which was probably an order from his superior. Xu Qingyun asked him to take people to conduct a detailed inspection on the way An Guocai was on his way to the factory.

Mainly on roadside walls and some places where traces are easily left.

Yang Wenxu had no objection to this order, but he really couldn't understand how Xu Qingyun could find the dead mailbox just by coming here?
He had searched for so long and got himself stinking, but still couldn't find the dead mailbox.

Yang Wenxu personally led the team to search along the way, and the people who were monitoring An Guocai kept an eye on whether he went out and what he would do next.

No matter what orders his superiors gave him, he would eventually have to do something and then respond to his superiors.

This is the best chance to catch them online.

"Team Leader Xu, Ji Shenghai has made some moves. He called a few friends."

Not long after returning, the team member who was monitoring Ji Shenghai came to report to Xu Qingyun that Ji Shenghai suddenly called people from other branches today and talked a lot.

He called three, from three other police stations in the city.

I don’t usually make so many calls, and I don’t have much contact with those people.

Why did Ji Shenghai do this?

An Guocai had just gone to receive the things when Ji Shenghai made another new move. It seemed as if they had received a common order to do so.

Where did Ji Shenghai receive the order?

The monitor was completely unaware that there must be loopholes in his surveillance of him.

The surveillance personnel were not directly under Xu Qingyun, so these matters would be handed over to Xu Zhanjie in the future. The most important thing at the moment was to find out what they were doing. Xu Qingyun listened carefully to his phone recording.

Ji Shenghai’s call was just a normal chat, asking them how they were doing recently and that they hadn’t been in touch for a long time and hoped they could get together if there was a chance.

He contacted two sheriffs and a deputy sheriff, who were about the same rank as him.

The four of them usually have a good relationship and have drunk together before.

Ji Shenghai specifically mentioned that it was someone's turn to treat everyone, and that he was the one who treated everyone last time, but after waiting for several months, nothing happened.

The conversation was normal, but Xu Qingyun still heard something unusual.

Ji Shenghai asked a question to everyone.

'Are you busy recently? Is there anything you can do to help your brother?'

All three people asked this question.

Ji Shenghai has his own way of making money, just like the others. As the sheriff, people on the street dare not offend them easily, and those who do business, especially special business, have to pay tribute to them regularly.

The same goes for street thugs.

If they don't show enough filial respect, the police may arrest them at any time.

They have their own way of making money and they must communicate with each other on a regular basis. Why are you suddenly asking this today?

Xu Qingyun used to be a policeman and knew the ins and outs of this very well.

He listened carefully to the three people's answers.

One person laughed and said: I've been so idle lately that I'm almost going moldy. How can anything good happen?

Another person said: The East City Branch has the most money, and I am counting on you, Brother Ji, to introduce me to a good job.

The last person said: It's like this every day, my mouth is dry and even if there is an opportunity to make money, it will not be my turn.

The three people answered normally. Ji Shenghai didn't ask anything to the two people in front and behind, but he asked one more question to the one in the middle.

That's the North City Branch. Ji Shenghai said they have a dock. Is there nothing going on recently?
After getting the answer, Ji Shenghai didn't ask any more questions and quickly hung up the phone.

Nothing?

Xu Qingyun grasped the key point. Ji Shenghai was asking about the situation of the other three branches.

If it was a big deal, he would know it himself. Asking like this was obviously about some hidden things. His mission was probably to find out inside the police station whether any big events had happened recently.

And it is a major matter that is concealed from the outside world.

Xu Qingyun narrowed his eyes. Of the eight police stations in Nanjing, he had only asked three. The remaining four were suburban police stations. If his guess was correct, he would definitely find a way to ask more next time.

There is also An Guocai. If he goes to inquire about the situation in the military, he can confirm that the order they received was to find out whether anyone had been arrested in Nanjing recently.

Mainly military and police.

It happens to be the department that the Military Intelligence Department is in charge of.

“They don’t know exactly what happened.”

Xu Qingyun narrowed his eyes. He understood what the Japanese were doing. They probably felt that the problem was not theirs after an internal investigation, so they wanted to find out whether any major incident had occurred among the military and police.

The source of the leak is definitely not the Intelligence Department, but someone who is not clear about what happened specifically. The scope is still very wide, but at least there are a few more clues.

First of all, the traitor didn’t know he had caught someone.

We don’t know the traitor’s specific actions or where he went, we just saw him going out from the Intelligence Department.

It is unclear whether the traitor is related to the Japanese.

Overall, the level of the traitor would not be too high.

People at the level of deputy section chief and above, even if they don’t know the specific situation, at least understand that the military and police are not being targeted.

If they really caught some important military and police figures, they would have already arranged their connections and were looking for them.

Who doesn’t have a few friends out there?
Xu Qingyun has not reported to Miao Feng yet. At present, it is all speculation without any evidence. It depends on what Ji Shenghai and An Guocai will do next.

The more they do, the more loopholes they find.

"Team leader, Fang Laibao sent a message saying that their identities are disguised."

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Yan Ming came running over. Fang Laibao had already gone to the couple's hometown and found out the situation.

The identities and names of both people are correct.

But according to their old family members, they are working in Shanghai, do have children, and have not been back home for several years.

Fang Laibao showed them the photos. The man looked very similar, but the woman didn't.

As for the child, few people have seen him and cannot recognize him.

What is strange is that both of their families left four years ago and reportedly went to Shanghai, and have never returned until today.

Since his family was not around, Fang Laibao could only ask other people and relatives.

The man has a younger sister who married far away.

The girl had two brothers, one of whom was a soldier and his life or death was unknown, while the other one was not far away. After Fang Laibao found out, he immediately rushed over.

After letting the other party identify the photo, Fang Laibao sent a telegram back.

The woman is not herself.

The neighbors may not recognize her clearly after not seeing her for a few years, but the relatives will not make a mistake. Their sister is taller and does not look like this.

But that child looks very much like my sister's, but I can't be sure.

The girl's brother saw the child five years ago.

“Increase surveillance on them.”

Xu Qingyun ordered that the couple's identities were a disguise and they were most likely Japanese spies. Finally, this hidden Japanese spy was found by him.

This time, the Japanese not only came with two people, but also brought a child as a cover.

The child is most likely the real child of this couple.

As for this couple, Xu Qingyun had a hunch that they might be in great danger, including their families.

He was a little surprised that the child was not eliminated.

Perhaps the child was young and didn't remember much, so they thought it would be easier to hide with the child, so they brought him along.

"Yes, team leader."

Another pair was found and Yan Ming was very happy. These Japanese spies were indeed cunning and very well hidden.

But no matter how well they hid, they could not escape the team leader's pursuit.

Yan Ming firmly believes that their team leader is the most powerful agent.

All the hidden agents near the three photo studios have been found, but Xu Qingyun has no idea whether they belong to the same group.

But depending on the situation, it is very likely that they belong to the same group.

An Guocai and Ji Shenghai received the task at the same time.

Currently, three teams from the Intelligence Department monitor one point each.

There is no problem with the Intelligence Department for now, so we can give the work to them temporarily. There are only three people in their four groups now, and one person is not enough to monitor one person.

At the Western Suburbs Branch, Xu Qingshi sat in his office and hung up the phone.

Xu Qingyun called him and invited him over for dinner.

My younger brother is working on a case to catch a Japanese spy. Eight of his men have returned, and his confidant told him a little about the case.

He didn't know who he was looking for, but it was very likely that the person had been found.

The eight men were ordered to keep silent and not tell anyone about it, but he was not an outsider, and his brother did not deliberately ask them to keep it secret from him.
