The Spy

Chapter 129 Lay the Framework
Xu Qingyun, who had experience of living in the future, had no interest in this kind of entertainment. Yan Ming didn't know what the team leader liked, so he deliberately used listening to opera to test him.

If Xu Qingyun doesn't go, he will shut up.

At that time, there were few forms of entertainment. Apart from listening to operas, storytelling, playing chess, and drinking tea, there was almost nothing else.

Xu Qingyun never goes to men's paradise or casinos. The only high-end places he goes to are movie theaters and dance halls.

The dance hall is full of smoke and the cinema mostly shows foreign films, and there are not many good movies.

Xu Qingyun understood that Yan Ming was thinking about him, so even though he didn't want to go, he didn't refuse directly and instead postponed it to next time.

For three consecutive days, Xu Qingyun failed to find the traces of the Japanese spies.

After going around the entire area, Xu Qingyun moved to another place where Japanese spies might appear. With three Japanese spies, he finally found one.

Japanese spies are different from ordinary criminals in later generations and are more difficult to find than those people.

Many criminals in later generations did not receive any training, but Japanese spies not only received training, but were also very professional. Safety was their first consideration during their latent period.

It is very likely that the Japanese spies were not afraid of trouble at all, and would not reveal where they lived even if they went far away.

Maybe this person rides a bicycle, or takes a rickshaw, or even drives a car.

He deliberately did not let anyone see his vehicle when he was making the call, just to avoid being noticed.

"Stronger, not bad."

Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming finally came back. Xu Qingyun patted Zuo Jinfang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Returning with them were the twenty best players personally selected by Xu Qingyun.

One month of special training is a bit short, so they only learn the general idea and then study while working.

In the future, when they have no tasks, they will take at least half a day every day to receive professional training.

The leaders of the other three groups, as well as Xu Zhanjie, Miao Feng and others, will come to give them lessons to enhance their professional abilities.

"Brother Qingyun, Jiming performed very well in the class. He won several first places."

Zuo Jinfang smiled foolishly and said, Zheng Jiming is the best in shooting and also the best in running.

It is indeed a good thing that it surpasses all the elites selected from the military.

They have also received training in killing people, real killers, and their targets are death row inmates.

These death row inmates were either murderers or bandits who had committed all kinds of evil. They were all people who had no relatives to take care of them. They were taken out of the police jail and executed by firing squad.

Intelligence agents may face any situation, and if they don't even dare to use their guns when they are required to shoot, something serious may happen.

Zheng Jiming was first again in the killing training.

He is the fastest, most ruthless and most accurate.

His parents were killed by Japanese thugs, and he hated this kind of thugs as well.

Among all people, Zheng Jiming had killed the most people. He was the one who executed Japanese spies and traitors in Tianjin, and he had killed dozens of people.

"Jiming is not bad either, he's a lot darker."

Xu Qingyun looked at Zheng Jiming. He and Zuo Jinfang were both from the Tianjin Police Department and followed him there. They were his most loyal followers.

"Team Leader, as long as I don't embarrass you, that's fine."

Zheng Jiming was not as good at speaking as Yan Ming, and his relationship with Xu Qingyun was not as close as Zuo Jinfang, so he only said this one sentence.

"Welcome to join the Military Intelligence Department and become a new member of Intelligence Group 4."

Xu Qingyun looked at the other twenty people. He had met each of them. These people knew that Xu Qingyun was their superior and their team leader.

"You are all great. The instructor told me that you are excellent."

"Each of you is an elite that I have carefully selected. I believe that you will also perform well in your future work."

"But we are not an ordinary department. You have received confidentiality training in school, so I will not repeat the confidentiality regulations. In Intelligence Group 4, I require you to obey orders absolutely and not reveal any internal information to anyone, including your relatives. Don't tell your parents or your wife and children about what you have done."

After saying this, Xu Qingyun paused and suddenly raised his voice: "Can you do it?"

"can."

Everyone responded immediately, including Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming.

"Very good, if you can do it, stay in Intelligence Group 4. If you can't do it, leave now. If you dare to disobey orders in the future, you will be sentenced to death."

Xu Qingyun's words were very serious, and some things had to be made clear in advance.

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

Xu Qingyun is very clear about this simple truth. Now that he is leading an entire group of people, he must lead them well. He doesn't expect every one of them to be an elite, but they must not make low-level mistakes.

In other departments, there is a chance to correct mistakes, but in the intelligence department, making mistakes may not only kill yourself, but also your companions.

"Promise to obey your orders, sir."

Everyone shouted again, Xu Qingyun nodded with satisfaction, no one left, that was good.

"You just arrived, and each of you can get a ten-dollar bonus. You will have to work hard recently, studying and working at the same time."

Everyone was stunned. They could get the money just after coming in?
Ten dollars is not a lot, but it is a lot. They have been in other places, such as the police station and the army. Where did they get paid as soon as they arrived?
It seems they followed a good leader.

Xu Qingyun used a combination of kindness and force. The money could be collected from the small treasury, ten yuan per person, which was only more than two hundred yuan, and it was affordable.

After taking the money, remember his kindness.

If there is an ungrateful person, it would be fine if he doesn't make any mistakes, he will be cleared out directly. But if he makes a mistake, Xu Qingyun will not let him off easily.

They were arranged into two large offices, and Xu Qingyun returned to his own office.

There was no one before, and Intelligence Group 4 has never had a captain. Now that there is someone, it’s time to lay the framework.

Xu Qingyun already had an idea about who would be the captain.

First of all, Yan Ming. He is now a lieutenant, and there is no problem for him to be the captain. Besides, Xu Qingyun promoted him to the position of captain in Tianjin. Now that he has arrived at the headquarters, he cannot be demoted.

Being promoted to captain is equivalent to Yan Ming's promotion of half a level.

The second is Fang Laibao, whom Xu Qingyun plans to make deputy team leader.

Fang Laibao himself is a captain, and his rank was higher than his before. He was also the head of the interrogation team in Tianjin. When he arrived in Nanjing, he was transferred to be the deputy head, which was a lateral transfer.

But Xu Qingyun was the team leader himself and could not give Fang Laibao a higher position.

He discussed this with Fang Laibao alone. Fang Laibao had no objection and said that he would be willing to be a team member even if he was asked to do so. The position was not important, and the important thing was who to follow.

There are three teams for one intelligence unit, and Xu Qingyun is going to give one of the other two team captains to Zuo Jinfang.

Zuo Jinfang is from the Xu family. He followed him in the police station and worked hard and helped him all the time.

Although Zuo Jinfang is not an officer, there are not many officers in Intelligence Group 4, so no one will object to promoting him.

The third team, Xu Qingyun, is temporarily vacant.

There are still twenty people who have not arrived. All of them are trained by Hangzhou Police College and have stronger professional capabilities. If there are good seedlings, one can be promoted.

As for Zheng Jiming, let him stay with me for the time being.

With so many Japanese captured, security issues must be taken seriously. Zheng Jiming is completely devoted to him and has good skills, so he is a good bodyguard.

If he performs well in intelligence work, it will not be too late to promote him in the future.

If Zuo Jinfang does not perform well and is not as good as others, Xu Qingyun will replace him. The captain under you cannot be mediocre, otherwise it will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire team.

Just decide on it first and adjust it at any time later.

Fang Laibao, Yan Ming, Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming were called into the office by Xu Qingyun first.

"Team leader, you don't need to give me the deputy team leader. Let Yan Ming do it. He is more capable than me and is more suitable."

Xu Qingyun didn't expect that Fang Laibao would object when he heard that he was asked to be the deputy team leader. Fang Laibao was indeed very smart, and Yan Ming's ability was indeed stronger than his, but he was not bad either.

"Team leader, Brother Fang is the most suitable person to be the deputy team leader. He should be the one to do it."

Yan Ming said at the same time, and the two of them began to be humble to each other in front of Xu Qingyun.

"It's settled. Fang Laibao, you are the deputy team leader, and Yan Ming is the captain of the first team."

Xu Qingyun made the final decision that this was the most appropriate way of distribution, and it was a good thing that the two of them could give in to each other. They should cooperate well in the future and capture more Japanese.

It takes three to make a hero. No matter how powerful Xu Qingyun is, he can't accomplish many things without capable subordinates.

"Yes, team leader."

Several people responded together that Zuo Jinfang had never thought that he could be the captain, he had just joined the Military Intelligence Department.

Zheng Jiming didn't think about anything. The team leader said that he should stay with him in the future. As long as he followed Xu Qingyun, he would not accept the position of team leader, let alone captain.

He wanted to kill the Japanese, so he followed the team leader because that was the best chance.

The twenty new people will not have any objections. They have just come in and many of them are not officers. Xu Zhanjie's previous idea has worked. They all have low military ranks. Xu Qingyun's low rank is not a problem at all in Group 4.

Twenty people, planned to be divided into two teams.

Each team has eleven people in total including the captain.

Fang Laibao is the deputy team leader and has a separate office, while Zheng Jiming follows Xu Qingyun and is considered a full-time bodyguard.

I can also help Xu Qingyun convey messages at ordinary times.

After completing the appointment, Xu Qingyun went to report to Xu Zhanjie. He had reported to him before, but Xu Zhanjie told him to handle the matters himself and not to report again.

Xu Zhanjie said so, Xu Qingyun couldn't do this.

Especially when it comes to personnel appointments, if this matter is reported, Xu Zhanjie will not object, and there will be no grudge in his heart.

Sure enough, although Xu Zhanjie was saying that Xu Qingyun was troublesome, he had a constant smile on his face.

He agreed to all of Xu Qingyun's requests.

The team leader needs to be appointed by the director personally, and he can make the decision on the deputy team leader and the team leader, and there is no need to report this matter to his superiors.

The framework of Intelligence Group 4 has been established.

Back in the Group 4 office, Xu Qingyun immediately announced the appointment.

Deputy team leader Fang Laibao, team one captain Yan Ming, team two captain Zuo Jinfang.

Zheng Jiming did not make any assignments and followed Xu Qingyun. The remaining twenty people were equally divided into teams one and two. After the people from Hangzhou came, a new team three would be formed.

This result was not surprising to other people in the Military Intelligence Department. Intelligence Group 4 had been established for a long time, with only a framework and only three people.

It just so happened that these three people had captured seven Japanese spies and five traitors, and even solved two Japanese spy cases.

The old information used is from the Military Intelligence Department.

Now that they have more manpower, many people are looking forward to the performance of Intelligence Group 4 to see if they can catch more Japanese spies and traitors.

"Team leader, I have asked many Green Gang disciples in the French Concession, and no one has ever seen the person in the photo."

In Shanghai, someone from the Party Affairs Investigation Office came to report to the team leader. Team leader Bai Xuechen was looking at the photo of Lao Lu with a frown on his face.

"Did the hotel ask?"

"I asked some questions, but I haven't found any information about him yet."

The men lowered their heads, and after the photos were developed, they sent people to ask, if this person lived in Shanghai, someone must have seen him.

Shanghai is very big, with a population of over four million. It is the largest city in China, but it is divided into many areas. There are police and local tyrants in each area. You don't need to ask others, you will definitely find the person by asking them.

They had found the Red Party in this way before.

I asked a lot of people this time, but no one had any impression of the person in the photo. It is very likely that he is not in Shanghai and came from outside.

"Investigate immediately. Question everyone in the concession and our territory. We must find out his origins."

Bai Xuechen ordered that the most important thing for the Chairman now was to completely eliminate the Red Party.

The Red Party is chasing them, and victory is just around the corner. What they have to do is to eliminate all the Red Party members lurking in the city.

"Yes."

The men left quickly and Bai Xuechen shook his head slightly. He had not reported the matter to the stationmaster yet. It would not be too late to report it after he found the person.

At this time, Lao Lu had already returned to Nanjing.

He didn't know he was being photographed, so he went back to his rented house and prepared to start looking for a job the next day.

He can read and do accounting, so he has no problem being an accountant.

Finding a job is not difficult, the key is safety.

He will only formally contact Xu Qingshi after he is completely stable or has restored contact with the organization. Until he is absolutely safe, he needs to keep a sufficient distance from Xu Qingshi.

In the Military Intelligence Department, Team One and Team Two immediately received their first assignments.

With more manpower, Xu Qingyun immediately sent them out to universities, streets, and galleries to find people who could draw sketches and portraits.

The previous portrait was too rough. The Military Intelligence Department has its own painter, who is better than the one in Tianjin, but only to a limited extent.

The person drawn still doesn't look that much like him.

Portraits are very important. For example, the three people who called before had been seen by the boss, but because he couldn’t draw their appearance, Xu Qingyun could only rely on searching for footprints like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If there is a portrait, even if it is not particularly similar, first find someone with a similar appearance. Xu Qingyun can then use the footprints to determine whether it is a Japanese spy, which will be much easier.

Even though all his men had left, Xu Qingyun himself was not idle either.

Come to an area again to see if you can run into a dead rat and find the footprints that appeared before.

"Team leader, these two footprints are quite fresh."

This was not the first time that Zheng Jiming followed Xu Qingyun to investigate a case. Fang Laibao was also there. He was the deputy team leader. Since he had nothing to do in the team, he simply followed them out to look for someone.

Fang Laibao doesn't know how to read footprints, but he can protect Xu Qingyun. The three of them all carry guns.

"Two men, about 1.63 meters tall and 1.68 meters tall, one of them had a leg injury."

Xu Qingyun saw the two footprints that Zheng Jiming mentioned, smiled slightly, and walked forward. There were many such footprints. As for injuries, many people now do hard labor and injuries are very common.

Previously, there was a Japanese spy riding a bicycle who also had a leg injury. Once we find a suitable artist, we will send them to clinics and hospitals for a large-scale examination.

Xu Qingyun will not waste any useful clues.
