The Spy

Chapter 133 Tracking down Lao Lu
The headquarters is half a level higher, but it is just an internal default and they are at the same level.

There was no problem for Yang Wenxu to be the head of the intelligence team, but it was not enough for him to be promoted directly to deputy station chief.

Xu Qingyun specifically suggested that by letting him get involved in this case, he wanted to give Yang Wenxu some credit so that he could be successfully promoted to deputy station chief.

"Qingyun, I thank you on behalf of Wenxu."

Xu Zhanjie was slightly stunned, and then he was immediately touched. He was discussing with Wu Shaoshu how to let Yang Wenxu be the deputy station chief, and Xu Qingyun handed him a pillow.

If they could catch another Japanese spy group, Yang Wenxu would no longer have any problems as the deputy station chief.

"Teacher, you are too polite. Team Leader Yang usually takes good care of me. It's my duty."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. Xu Zhanjie was more satisfied with his humble attitude.

As soon as Xu Qingyun left, Xu Zhanjie called Yang Wenxu to come to his office.

"Section Chief, you are looking for me."

Yang Wenxu already knew that he was going to Tianjin. He didn't want to go, but he didn't expect that this unfortunate task would fall on him.

Tianjin is a branch station, and its future development will definitely not be as good as the headquarters.

But being able to go there as a deputy station chief is still a gain. I will look for an opportunity to transfer back to the headquarters in the future.

But it's easy to go out, but it's hard to come back.

Every man has his own job. It is impossible for him to continue to be the team leader after returning, unless he becomes the deputy section chief. But Miao Feng is the director's man, and the deputy section chiefs of other departments also have close relations with the director.

Virgo will not allow their subordinates to have complete control over a department.

This is his balancing act.

If he came back, the only option was to become the head of a small department, but that was not the result he wanted.

As long as he gets out, there is only one development path left for him, which is to become a stationmaster. After returning as a stationmaster, he may become the head of a major department.

"Qingyun has targeted two more Japanese spies. They are intelligence agents and must have an online presence. Qingyun specifically asked you to help. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Zhanjie looked at him straight. Yang Wenxu was slightly startled, and immediately understood the implication of the section chief's words.

Xu Qingyun helped him to gain merit, and then he could go to Tianjin to be the deputy station chief.

"Thank you, Chief. Please help me thank Team Leader Xu."

Yang Wenxu lowered his head and said, Xu Zhanjie smiled slightly: "You go and thank him yourself. The director said that Qingyun is a great talent and will have a better future. There is no harm in having a good relationship with him."

No matter what, Yang Wenxu is his confidant and he should be taken care of.

It’s a good thing for Yang Wenxu to go to Tianjin, because Tianjin has his people there.

"Yes, I will definitely thank Team Leader Xu for his help this time."

Yang Wenxu lowered his head and replied, Xu Zhanjie waved his hand and asked him to go to Xu Qingyun to discuss the case.

With the help of two groups, Xu Qingyun had enough people to make adjustments immediately.

All of Zuo Jinfang's men went back to continue tracking down the person who looked like the person in the portrait, while Yan Ming focused on keeping an eye on Liao Wenting and monitored him 24 hours a day.

The two most important undercover agents were all handed over to Yang Wenxu.

Their job is to keep an eye on people and not alert the enemy, but if there is anything unusual with the rickshaw or the driver, they will arrest them immediately.

What Xu Qingyun wanted was the team leader behind them. He seized the Japanese spy radio and code book again. The observer was not responsible for warning the team leader, so he had to find out the identity of the team leader through undercover agents.

No matter what kind of dead mailbox is used, the sleeper agent always has to contact his superiors.

Otherwise, the intelligence they collected could not be reported in time.

"Team Leader Yang, fighting against Japanese spies requires patience. Your brothers are all experienced veterans. I believe they can complete this mission."

After Xu Qingyun and Yang Wenxu discussed the task, they gave instructions again.

"I understand. Don't worry, Team Leader Xu. I will personally lead the team to keep watch this time."

He has more than 40 members under his command, so it is more than enough to just keep an eye on two people.

His personal involvement can prevent his teammates from making mistakes.

With him following them, his subordinates dared not be careless. His transfer was not announced to the public. If Xu Zhanjie had not mentioned it to Xu Qingyun, Xu Qingyun would not have known about it.

They are master and disciple, they can talk about anything.

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, while Yang Wenxu clasped his fists and said, "Team Leader Xu, it is indeed a waste of your talent to stay in Tianjin. Nanjing is the best place for you. I believe you will have a better future. I will definitely remember this favor."

Yang Wenxu personally thanked people for giving him credit for nothing.

"Team Leader Yang, you are too kind. Tianjin is where I worked before. I am very happy that you can go there. The Japanese are ambitious and are eyeing Tianjin covetously. We will never give up our intelligence work. Don't worry when you get there. The Japanese spies have traces to follow. As long as we find their flaws, we will definitely catch them."

"Understood. If there is anything, I will ask you for advice. I hope you can give me some advice."

Yang Wenxu was about to leave, and he understood the importance of making friends with Xu Qingyun. Since he would not be in Nanjing in the future, his relationship with Xu Zhanjie would inevitably become somewhat distant.

If Xu Qingyun could continue to help him, it would be of great help to him in consolidating his backing.

"Don't worry, we will make progress together."

Xu Qingyun made him a promise that he would help him if he had any problems in the future.

This case is very important to Yang Wenxu, as it concerns whether he will go to Tianjin as the intelligence team leader or the deputy station chief.

If he does well, he may even have a chance to be promoted to lieutenant colonel.

If you don't do it well, not to mention lieutenant colonel, even the deputy station chief will be in danger.

When it comes to his own future, Yang Wenxu will definitely do his best.

Nanjing, headquarters of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

Shi Qingbin, head of Intelligence Group 2, hurried to the office of Section Chief Tan Linxiang.

"Chief, the Shanghai station sent a photo of a Red Party member. I recognize this person."

Shi Qingbin had worked in Peiping before, and later cooperated with Rehe to arrest many Red Party members. At that time, there was a fish that slipped through the net, named Lu Hanping.

He targeted six people at the scene, but finally caught five. The one who escaped was Lu Hanping, which became his regret.

After the photos from Shanghai are sent over, the intelligence team will first look at the photos and conduct a check.

Shi Qingbin recognized him as soon as he saw the photo. This was the person he had arrested three years ago who had escaped.

It was because of that meritorious service that he was transferred to the headquarters and served as the team leader of the Intelligence Department.

"Who is he?"

Tan Linxiang immediately sat up straight and asked.

"Lu Hanping was in charge of their organization in Rehe, and he had information on many members of the Rehe Red Party."

Lu Hanping was a big fish. If he had been able to catch him last time, his harvest could have been even greater.

It was a pity that Lu Hanping ran away, and in the end only five people were rewarded, and the mission was not complete.

The five people covered Lu Hanping's escape together because of his important identity and he must not be caught.

After Lu Hanping fled to Peiping, he tried to contact the organization urgently but was discovered by them. As a result, Lu Hanping was very careful and did not make contact. After that, he never heard from them again.

I didn't expect to see him in the photos sent from Shanghai today.

He had spied on people before and had a photo of Lu Hanping.

"Where is the man?"

Tan Linxiang spoke in a simple and direct manner. Shi Qingbin was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "In the photos sent from Shanghai, they said that the person is no longer in Shanghai, and they don't know exactly where he is."

"How can you catch someone if you don't even know where he is?"

Tan Linxiang expressed his dissatisfaction. Sending photos from Shanghai was a form of reporting. The Party Affairs Investigation Office had required that any Red Party member found, regardless of whether the person was caught or not, must have photos sent to the headquarters for filing. "Section Chief, will he be in Nanjing?"

Shi Qingbin asked in a low voice. Lu Hanping was originally active in the north, but suddenly appeared in Shanghai and left. It is very likely that he is in a city around Shanghai.

Besides, there are indeed quite a few Red Party activities here.

The Red Party has a small number of members and places more emphasis on talent. Lu Hanping has rich experience in underground work, so they will not let Lu Hanping stay in the base and waste time.

Shi Qingbin judged that Lu Hanping must be in the city. If he was in the city, why couldn't he be in Nanjing?
"How confident are you?" asked Tan Linxiang.

"Three, not two."

Shi Qingbin lowered his head. He didn't dare to say that he was very confident. What if he told others about it and the section chief asked him to find someone, he would be in trouble if he couldn't find the person.

Besides, he wasn't really sure.

"Get out."

Tan Linxiang yelled, "Twenty percent?" He saw that Shi Qingbin had even less than one percent, so there was no need to waste time on something that he was not sure of.

Shi Qingbin left in disgrace.

After returning to his office, Shi Qingbin was still a little unwilling. He took out the photo and sent his men to the street to find informants to find out whether anyone had seen this person in Nanjing.

The Intelligence Department has many informants, including Shi Qingbin himself.

In the Military Intelligence Department, after Yang Wenxu took over two hidden Japanese spies, Intelligence Group 4 immediately relieved a lot of pressure.

Yan Ming and Zuo Jinfang are fully investigating the part they are responsible for.

Especially Zuo Jinfang, his work is the most important.

"Team leader, you are here."

At the surveillance point, Yan Ming quickly stood up, and Xu Qingyun brought Zheng Jiming here.

Xu Qingyun would not stay in the office all the time. He would go to the monitoring point and Zuo Jinfang's place every day to check their work and progress.

However, he was very careful when he went out. He always got into the car in a secluded place, and when others left, he would drive after them.

Miao Feng has not been able to find the traitor and was scolded by the director yesterday.

Xu Qingyun is handling the case, and the responsibility of investigating the traitor still lies with him.

Miao Feng has been under a lot of pressure these days.

“Is there anything unusual recently?”

Xu Qingyun picked up the telescope, looked into the distance, and asked casually.

"Not yet."

"What about the rest?"

Seeing that there were only three people at the surveillance point, Xu Qingyun asked again, and Yan Ming lowered his head: "I asked them to take a break first. They have been under surveillance for so many days in a row, and I am afraid that they will make mistakes due to too much pressure."

All of Yan Ming's subordinates are new recruits who have received special training.

This was their first time doing surveillance work, and they did a good job, very seriously.

But after so many days of continuous surveillance, everyone felt tired in different ways.

After Yang Wenxu joined, Yan Ming had enough manpower, so he let them take turns to rest, and they could go out to rest when they were not on duty.

But you can't go too far, you have to be nearby so you can provide support at any time when you hear any noise.

"That does not work."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. He understood that Yan Ming meant well, but if something went wrong, Yan Ming would bear the greatest responsibility.

"Team leader, I was wrong. You can just punish me."

"You're right, but your approach is wrong."

Xu Qingyun shook his head again. It was true that Yan Ming was thinking about his subordinates, but the mission should be put first and they should not delay their work because of rest.

"How about this, I'll have Erxi bring some people nearby to support you if anything happens. Those who are resting can go out, but only two people are allowed at a time, and for a maximum of two hours."

Xu Qingyun made some changes to him. He could not release so many people at once. Two people went out each time to ensure that there were eight of them ready to enter combat status at any time.

The perimeter also needs to be arranged and handed over to the police.

This is not the territory of the east city, so Erxi cannot help them openly, but it is okay to help them secretly.

Let them wear plain clothes and eat and drink well in a nearby teahouse. They are actually just for prevention, so it is best not to use them.

"Thank you, team leader."

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment. The team leader's arrangement was indeed more appropriate. He had thought the problem was too simple before.

It’s not wrong to feel sorry for your subordinates. This is the only way to make them work hard and devote their whole heart to you.

They are an intelligence department, but also a military department.

It is very important to have loyal subordinates. Xu Qingyun is willing to see Yan Ming think of winning over his subordinates, but the method must be used correctly.

Yan Ming sent someone to call them back, and then made new arrangements. Each time two people went out, they had to go together, even to the toilet together.

Each time is a maximum of two hours, and you must come back within two hours. If you exceed two hours, you will be investigated or even punished.

Time concept is very important and must be followed.

"How many days have you not rested?"

Calling everyone over, Xu Qingyun suddenly asked. Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "Team Leader, I don't need to rest."

"You are the captain, the leader. You must maintain the best mental state. How can you not rest?"

Xu Qingyun glared at him and looked at the other team members: "I just changed your rest system. You can go out, but only two people can go out at a time, and each time can only be two hours at most. Do you have any objections?"

"No, team leader, we have no objection."

Several team members responded that the captain asked them to go out, which was not in compliance with the regulations in the first place, and they were grateful. Now that the team leader agreed to let them go out, it was equivalent to turning the illegal situation into a compliant one.

The team leader is the section chief's student, and the section chief is the director's confidant.

They are the real direct descendants in the department.

"That's good. Don't worry, if you complete the mission well, you will be rewarded. From now on, follow the new rules. How about letting your captain rest for the first two hours?"

Xu Qingyun understood that if he didn't give Yan Ming time to relax, Yan Ming would definitely stay at the surveillance point.

Unless he has something to report, he will set an example and never leave.

"As you should. Team leader is wise."

Someone who was good at speaking immediately started to flatter him, and the others followed suit.

"Yanming, come out with me."

After settling the others, Xu Qingyun took Yan Ming out. Two people could go out at a time, and Yan Ming also brought a team member who usually performed well.

Including Zheng Jiming, there are four of them in total.

"Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Xu Qingyun asked Yan Ming, who was his confidant who followed him from Tianjin to Nanjing. After arriving in Nanjing, Yan Ming seldom went out alone, and every time he went out, he had a mission.

It can be said that he gradually got to know Nanjing while carrying out his mission.

"Team leader, no."

Yan Ming really didn't want to go there. He could stand loneliness, and he didn't really stay at home. He needed to do the report, and he could take some fresh air on his way back.
