The Spy

Chapter 123 Let’s act together

Old Lu refused Xu Qingshi's offer to send him off. After making sure that there was no one outside, he covered his face and left in a hurry.

Xu Qingshi could only watch him leave from the window.

Old Lu is very cautious, not because he is cautious by nature, but because the bloody lessons he has learned over the years have forced him to make changes.

Not only Lao Lu, but many other comrades have also made progress.

Xu Qingshi was very happy at this time. Mr. Li came to Nanjing and he was no longer fighting alone. Unfortunately, Mr. Li had not contacted the organization and there was nothing he could do.

"Team Leader Xu, Ji Shenghai went to the East Suburbs Branch."

The next morning, Xu Qingyun received a report that Ji Shenghai had moved again, this time to the branch office.

He didn't call, but used the case as an excuse to go to the East Suburb Branch to find out more about the situation.

The East Suburbs Branch was the closest to them, and he had a suitable excuse so he didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

"Team Leader Xu, An Guocai contacted the people in the Equipment Bureau today and asked them about the situation in the army."

The second group also sent a report, and An Guocai also took action. As expected, he was inquiring about the situation in the army. Xu Qingyun smiled, and the two of them acted together, confirming his guess.

The fish has appeared and is not far from being hooked.

At present, the fake couple has not been touched, but they have no close connection with the military and police, so it is estimated that the higher-ups have not touched them.

Keep them first, and arrest An Guocai and Ji Shenghai after they show up online.

If we can catch this superior, together with these two people, we can catch five more Japanese spies.

Five Japanese spies are not a small number.

"Section Chief, you are back."

At the airport, Miao Feng and Xu Qingyun came together to pick people up. Xu Zhanjie finished his business in Guangzhou and finally returned to Nanjing.

Before he came back, he received a secret report that Xu Qingyun had made another gain in Nanjing.

He didn't bring many people with him to Guangzhou this time. His main purpose was to deal with the corruption case of the Guangzhou General Affairs Group Leader. The Guangzhou station didn't have much funds, but the General Affairs Group Leader actually made more than 10,000 yuan.

Converted into gold bars, there are more than thirty of them.

He dared to sell anything, even a radio station, which he reported as damaged, but was eventually found out.

The radio station could not be recovered and no one knew where it went, but the life of the general affairs team leader was over, so the director asked him to be escorted back to the headquarters, and he was brought here this time.

After the chief examines the case, the person will be executed.

Virgo is very greedy himself, but he does not allow his subordinates to be greedier than him.

"Say it in the car."

Xu Zhanjie didn't say much to them at the airport. He got in the car and immediately looked at Xu Qingyun: "How is the case going now?"

He was in Guangzhou, and this time he was handling the case with the Inspection Department, so he did not ask in detail about the situation in Nanjing.

"We have currently targeted four suspected Japanese spies, two of whom are a couple..."

Xu Qingyun slowly told Xu Zhanjie about the recent situation. Xu Zhanjie was surprised at first, and then delighted. Not long after he left, Xu Qingyun actually found so many people through an old case?

Four were targeted and one was already caught.

Moreover, all the actions of the four people were not hidden from him. Now he was watching them, leading them to the upper line and the hook, trying to catch them all at the same time.

Once they appear online, it's time for them to close the net.

"good, very good."

After listening to the report, Xu Zhanjie immediately praised him. He did not comment on the case. Xu Qingyun was most familiar with the case and in his opinion had done the best.

"Teacher, there are three more people..."

Xu Qingyun continued to report that the three observers were also suspects. Although they have not been found yet, at least there are some clues. Next time, they will set up more public telephone points where they may go to see if they can take pictures of them.

Once the photo was taken, they couldn’t escape.

"Three more?"

Xu Zhanjie was even more surprised. He didn't expect that after focusing on four people, there would be three more subjects for investigation.

It doesn’t matter if we don’t catch the person, at least we have a direction to investigate the case.

As long as you have a direction, you will be able to gain something.

Besides, Xu Qingyun said that the liaison officers are very valuable. They don’t know where the undercover personnel are, but they have the responsibility to remind them.

As long as we know their reminder methods, it is possible to find the hidden Japanese spies.

If we catch them, we may be able to catch another batch later.

"Teacher, after I finish the case here, I will do my best to track down the three of them."

Xu Qingyun nodded, and Xu Zhanjie laughed: "Okay, let's do it. I will report to the director first, and you guys go to the conference room and wait for me."

"Chief, I have something going on here too."

Miao Feng smiled bitterly. He also had a case to deal with, but the difference was that he was investigating a traitor.

Unfortunately, up to now, apart from knowing that the traitor is not in the Intelligence Department, there is no other clue.

Xu Qingyun hasn't said anything about the traitor's low level yet. It won't hurt to find out more during the investigation. Miao Feng knows that the section chief is fine, so it's possible to ask them for assistance.

If someone lets the secret slip, the traitor may know about it in advance, making the investigation more difficult.

"The traitor must be eliminated. You should investigate carefully. If necessary, I will ask Qingyun to help you after he is done with his work."

After listening to Miao Feng, Xu Zhanjie snorted coldly. He had suffered from traitors before. A Lu Dawang made all their previous efforts go to waste.

Now there is a traitor in the department. No matter if he is in the Intelligence Department or not, we will not let him go.

"Yes, thank you, Chief."

Miao Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Zhanjie just asked Xu Qingyun to help him. He didn't have the confidence to find the traitor on his own.

If Xu Qingyun hadn't been so busy recently, he would have come over long ago.

"Director, I have already found out..."

Xu Zhanjie returned to the Military Intelligence Department and did not even go to his own office. He came here to report first.

Sure enough, upon hearing that a small general affairs team leader had embezzled so much, the director was furious and ordered his immediate execution without even conducting a trial.

He would never keep such a person, and issued a notice to the whole department to let those who were only interested in making money see that whoever dared to do this would suffer the same fate in the future.

Hangzhou Station also received an order from headquarters.

After reading the content, Luan Tianhe felt a little cold. Although he did not covet the things in the site, he gained a lot this time by investigating the traitor.

If Virgo knew about this, he would probably be doomed.

The webmaster gave him three days, and he did investigate seriously during those three days, but there were too many people who knew about the case, and he had collected money from so many people before, so he had no clues at all.

"Stationmaster, an order from headquarters."

The telegram had to be delivered, so Luan Tianhe nervously went to Cai Shifeng's office and handed him the order from headquarters.

"Guangzhou?"

When he saw the accident at Guangzhou Station, Cai Shifeng didn't pay much attention to it, but then looked at Luan Tianhe.

"Has the traitor been found?"

The time Virgo gave him was up, and he had to reply as soon as possible.

"not yet."

"No?"

Cai Shifeng's eyes narrowed and he glared at Luan Tianhe fiercely. This damn guy, doesn't he know that the headquarters is urging him?

If he really can't find out, he will withdraw even if he is a close confidant.

Otherwise, the anger from above will come upon him.

"Stationmaster, although not, I have found several suspects."

Luan Tianhe replied hurriedly, and Cai Shifeng's expression eased a little. It's good that there is a suspect.

"Who?" "The action team..."

Luan Tianhe named three people, none of whom gave him any gifts. He didn't dare to say who gave him gifts, because if they were caught and he was implicated, he would be in trouble if the stationmaster found out.

He collected the money secretly but didn't give it to the webmaster.

"What do they suspect?"

Cai Shifeng asked proactively, and Luan Tianhe raised his doubts. After a real investigation, he first investigated those who did not send money.

It is easy to tell those who gave more money and those who didn’t give less.

However, the three did not give any money, each for their own reasons. The one in the action team was a gambler and had no money and even owed gambling debts.

This just happened to be his target of attack: people who loved gamblers were most likely to be turned by Japanese spies.

The other two were from ordinary families, with elderly parents and young children at home, and they could not afford to support their parents. Moreover, they were not in the action team or the intelligence team, and had no contact with the case last time. They had only heard about it and thought they would be fine.

"Catch him and interrogate him."

After listening to the report, Cai Shifeng felt that what Luan Tianhe said made sense, especially the person from the action team, who had left alone when he went out to perform the mission.

"Yes."

Luan Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief. He now only hoped that the traitor was among the three. If not, it must be them. He just had to get through this hurdle first.

The three were quickly arrested and kept protesting their innocence, so Cai Shifeng personally tried them.

The man from the action team was the first to be interrogated. He explained that after he went out on a mission, he felt itchy and went out to play for a while, and the people in the casino could prove it.

Cai Shifeng didn't listen to his explanation at all. As a gambler, he would ask them to do anything for their gambling money, even using torture.

Unable to bear the pain of the punishment, he finally confessed.

After hearing his confession, Luan Tianhe felt completely relieved.

Nanjing, after Ji Shenghai left the East Suburb Branch, he went to the South Suburb Branch in the afternoon.

It’s the same case as before.

A roving bandit killed someone in Nanjing, including a powerful man. Their superiors asked them to solve the case.

He has a clue that this person may be hiding outside the city.

First go to the east suburbs, then to the south suburbs. He is investigating a case and no one can say anything.

When he runs like this, the people monitoring him should follow him all the time, keeping him at a distance and making sure he doesn't lose sight of him.

After leaving the South Suburbs Branch, he went directly to the West Suburbs Branch.

The eastern and southern suburbs are fine, with only two police stations left.

If the branch office is fine, then it must be the headquarters or the department.

It’s easy to deal with the General Administration, but he still needs to think of a solution for the Department.

The method is simple, you can find out through his backers.

His backer is rather stupid. He will do anything for money. I don't know how many secrets he has revealed to him.

These became his leverage, and he could use them to promote this person and then turn him into their own man.

This way, there will be senior officials within the police department directly serving them.

"Chief Ji, how come you have time to come to our remote place?"

He was received by a police sergeant at the Western Suburbs Branch. There were four police sergeants in a branch, but the Western Suburbs Branch had five, so the people brought by Xu Qingshi formed a separate team.

"It's all because of Gou Laoba. He killed someone and ran away, causing us so much trouble."

Ji Shenghai smiled and said that Gou Laoba was the vicious bandit who killed people in the territory of the East City Branch, so the case naturally fell on them.

"Has Gou Lao Ba not been caught yet?"

The West Suburban Sheriff knew about this case. It was the kind of case they were most reluctant to deal with because it didn't pay off and was dangerous.

"No, I just came to ask you guys if you have any clues."

"We have no clues."

The West Suburban Police Chief immediately shook his head. They usually only think about making money and would not really care even if there are clues.

Gou Laoba does not belong to their case, so catching him would be a credit to them.

But he didn't have a strong background and was satisfied with being a sheriff. He never thought about promotion and naturally didn't care about such things.

"who are they?"

Ji Shenghai suddenly asked. He saw several people walking in from outside, all of them were unfamiliar faces.

"Deputy Director Xu's people."

"Deputy Director Xu, the director from Tianjin?"

Ji Shenghai asked immediately. He was at the police station and heard that a deputy director had been parachuted into the Western Suburbs Branch, and it was said that he was the captain in Tianjin before.

After the backstage director left, he was exiled. I don’t know through whose connections he came to Nanjing and became the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Branch.

Ji Shenghai's rank was still too low, and he was not in the Western Suburbs Branch, so he was not clear about Xu Qingshi's specific situation.

"I didn't expect you knew this, yes, it's him."

The West Suburb Police Chief did not show any respect to Xu Qingshi when he spoke. Xu Qingshi did not take care of things in the police station, and except for a few subordinates he brought with him, he was almost completely sidelined.

They are the director's men, so naturally they don't care about Xu Qingshi.

"Being able to be a deputy director means he has connections. If he makes contributions, be careful that he will be promoted to the position."

"It's impossible to promote him. We didn't do anything meritorious. Instead, his subordinates were borrowed by others to handle cases all day long. We don't even know what cases they were handling."

The Western Suburbs Police Chief said this with disdain, but Ji Shenghai's heart was moved.

"Borrowed, who borrowed it?"

"Who else could it be? Military Intelligence. They're the ones who order us around like our grandsons."

The West Suburb Police Chief didn't think about anything else and replied without thinking. Ji Shenghai was stunned again. Did the Military Intelligence Department borrow people from the West Suburb Branch?
This is important information.

"When did you borrow it?"

Ji Shenghai didn't ask what they were doing, he only asked about the time. The other party just said that he didn't know what case they were handling.

The Military Intelligence Department will not disclose to any outside parties what the person is doing when he is seconded.

"Just a few days ago."

The West Suburbs Sheriff replied casually that what happened a few days ago was somewhat consistent with this mission, and it is very likely that they knew the latest movements of the Military Intelligence Department.

"No matter what, they are also the deputy director's people. It's a good idea to have more good relationships with them."

Ji Shenghai smiled, chatted with the people here for a few words, and then left. He did not directly contact Xu Qingshi's men.

These people came from Tianjin and were not familiar with him. He needed to get to know them clearly before finding a way to inquire about the situation from them.

All of Ji Shenghai's movements were reported to Xu Qingyun.

He did go to the Western Suburbs Branch, but did not come into contact with his brother's people.

It seems that this person has some patience and knows that one cannot be impatient.

He is not in a hurry, and Xu Qingyun will be even less anxious.

As long as he wants to know what his brother's men have done, he will contact them sooner or later.

If you keep an eye on him, you may be able to catch his superior.

The same thing happened to An Guocai. He was constantly inquiring about the situation in the army, whether there had been any unusual occurrences, or whether anyone had been arrested.

At the Hangzhou station, Cai Shifeng gave his testimony with satisfaction.

He interrogated all three people, but paid the most attention to the first one. After the last two people cried out for innocence, he did not torture them, but asked them about some details in detail and then let them go.

The confession of the man from the action team matched the facts. Although he slandered that he was framed because he did not give money to Luan Tianhe, Cai Shifeng did not believe it.

This time I can finally give an explanation to the headquarters.
