The Spy

Chapter 135 Missing Person Notice
"Very good, keep watching"

Captain Naoki Takeda replied softly that they had been here for two days, mainly investigating the situation of the Military Intelligence Department's vehicle.

"Captain, we don't have a photo, but we know he's very young. Now we can't find him just by looking at the car?"

The team members smiled bitterly and shook their heads. The Special High Police did not have any photo of Xu Qingyun, and Xu Qingyun had been in Nanjing for too short a time, only more than a month.

However, the Tianjin Special High Section was unable to find the photo. Xu Qingyun had previously studied at the police academy, and his file was transferred to the police station after graduation.

But he was in the police department for a short time and his file was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department.

Since then, Xu Qingyun's file has become top secret, including the school's archives which were also taken away by the Military Intelligence Department.

The Tianjin Special High Section is trying to find out if they can get any clues or find useful photos from Xu Qingyun's school.

"Let's find out on our own first. If that doesn't work, we can send a message to the section chief and ask for support."

Takeda sighed and said that they brought a radio with them so that they could communicate with the Special Higher Police conveniently, and they could also use the radio to report the success after the operation was successful.

This mission was indeed not easy, mainly because they didn't know what the other party looked like, so they could only use the dumbest method, which was to remember the car first.

The area they are in is the only way out of the Military Intelligence Department. There is no guarantee that all these cars belong to the Military Intelligence Department, but there must be some inside.

Xu Qingyun is the team leader and a student of Xu Zhanjie, the chief of the intelligence department, so he is absolutely qualified to use the car.

First watch the car, then look for the person.

"Ok."

The team members had no choice but to obey orders. Fortunately, this mission did not give them a time limit. Killing people was easy, but finding people was difficult.

In previous similar operations, the intelligence team would do all the preparatory work in advance, and it was rare that everything was handed over to them.

They didn't know that Xu Qingyun was sitting in the car that had just been recorded.

"Group Leader Xu."

In the afternoon, Yang Wenxu came to Xu Qingyun's office. Xu Qingyun entrusted him with the two most important undercover Japanese spies, and he was very moved.

The identity of an observer is not as important as that of a hidden agent. Through hidden agents, the team leader can be found, and everyone knows that they are the most valuable.

"Team Leader Yang is here, please come in."

Xu Qingyun stood up, smiled and led Yang Wenxu to the sofa, and asked Zheng Jiming to make tea.

Xu Qingyun had his own considerations for giving the undercover agent to Yang Wenxu.

Most of his subordinates are newcomers and of very low rank.

There was only one military officer, and he was a second lieutenant.

Others were mostly non-commissioned officers, and there were even privates first class and privates first class.

Any little merit can help them get promoted in military rank.

Giving them too much credit would be a waste.

As for the lieutenants, others are not suitable for promotion for the time being. At least they have to wait until Zuo Jinfang’s rank is raised first.

Zuo Jinfang has just joined the army and is now a sergeant.

This was because he had previously captured Japanese spies and helped the Military Intelligence Department solve cases, so Xu Qingyun helped him apply for the military rank.

It is not difficult for a sergeant to be promoted to lieutenant. As long as Zuo Jinfang can find the two observers without arresting them, the credit will be enough. In this case, the best option is to give the greatest credit to Yang Wenxu and maximize the benefits this time.

"Team Leader Xu, we have checked all the areas near the homes of the other six employers. We have three suspects, but after verification, we found that they are not faking their identities."

Yang Wenxu came to report the situation. Not only were the two suspected Japanese spies given to them, but the investigation of the remaining six employers with normal rents was also given to them.

Group 2 had enough manpower and investigated quickly, but unfortunately they failed to find the Japanese spy.

"It doesn't matter. Since there are no nearby, we can check the area around the rickshaw company within a mile or so. Don't be in a hurry. You can go slowly, but you can't be discovered."

Xu Qingyun instructed that the most important person in this case was the team leader. If they caught him, they could find out the situation of the entire team.

These hidden Japanese spies were found in the early stage and used to capture the team leader.

It would be best if you can find all of them, so that you can be more confident in catching them online. If you can't find them, just focus on the existing two and you will still get something out of it.

"Just don't blame us."

Yang Wenxu breathed a sigh of relief. He was nervous when he came here. Xu Qingyun gave them the best task, but in the end they failed to find the person and made no progress.

"How can I blame you? Patience is very important. As long as they pass on the information, it will be our chance."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. This was how investigating a case worked. Not to mention Yang Wenxu, even he had returned empty-handed several times before, hadn't he?

It is impossible for anyone to find what they want every time they check.

"Team Leader Xu, thank you very much for your support. Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to investigate thoroughly and will never alert the enemy."

Yang Wenxu stood up and left without drinking his tea. He wanted to go back and arrange new investigation tasks and find all the Japanese spies as soon as possible.

He is now more and more convinced of Xu Qingyun.

When he first went to Tianjin, he didn't think Xu Qingyun was better than himself, but he admitted that Xu Qingyun did a good job in handling cases in the police station.

Later, Xu Qingyun captured the Kawada group in Tianjin, making Yang Wenxu realize how powerful he was.

Later, news came of a great victory in Tianjin. Xu Qingyun destroyed all the arrangements of the Special High Section in Tianjin.

But that was Tianjin, not Nanjing, so he didn't feel deeply.

After Xu Qingyun came to Nanjing, he deeply realized how powerful Xu Qingyun was. He originally thought that he could compare with him, but now he realized that he was too arrogant.

In the case of the traitor, Lu Dawang was already dead, but Xu Qingyun managed to find the Japanese spy who instigated him to defect by investigating at the same time, and arrested two Japanese spies at one time.

They were in Nanjing, and no one had ever thought of solving the case in this way.

Then it was an old case again. The escaped Japanese spy also allowed Xu Qingyun to find clues from it, and then catch all the other members of the escaped Japanese spy group.

The section chief has accepted a good student, Xu Qingyun is definitely a genius, an intelligence genius.

It can be said that Yang Wenxu is the team leader who knows Xu Qingyun best. The more cases Xu Qingyun handles, the more he understands how big the gap is between him and others.

And this time, he only discovered a loophole in the Japanese observer and found another observer and two hidden Japanese spies. He was fully convinced that the remaining two observers would never escape.

But those two people had little to do with him.

As long as he can catch this meritorious person, he will be transferred to Tianjin immediately, and it is unknown when he will be able to come back in the future.

After get off work, Zheng Jiming sent Xu Qingyun home. Not long after, Xu Qingyun quietly left through the back door.

After hailing a rickshaw, Xu Qingyun arrived at the alley he had inspected during the day.

Xu Qingyun looked at the footprints first and found the familiar footprints again.

After waiting for an hour and not seeing anyone, Xu Qingyun immediately left and returned home.

He couldn't be alone for too long.

Not seeing the person would not affect Xu Qingyun's investigation. As long as there were footprints, it would be enough. Besides, he had already seen the person.

The next day, Xu Qingyun stayed in the office.

Someone knocked softly at the door of the house he visited yesterday. The knocking sound had a special rhythm that only the family members could hear.

The door was opened quickly. If Xu Qingyun was here, he would be able to recognize that these two people were the two he saw in the theater, and now they were gathered together again.

"No one saw you, right?"

The man who opened the door asked, and the person who came in shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm very careful and only come here when no one is around."

"What does the organization say?"

After entering the inner room, the man who opened the door immediately asked.

"Secretary Huang agrees with your plan, but asks you to be careful and not to act hastily. Safety is the most important thing."

The man who came in said softly that he was the liaison officer and guard for Secretary Huang in Nanjing, and his main responsibility was to help Secretary Huang contact several senior officials in the organization.

The person in front of me is named Liang. He is a comrade who has just arrived in Nanjing and is in charge of organizational work.

Lao Liang had just arrived, and they had been in more frequent contact during this period.

"Please rest assured, Secretary Huang. I understand how cruel things are behind enemy lines and I will never be impatient."

Lao Liang replied with a smile that he had applied to open a business to cover up his identity and sell stationery items. In the future, he could install a telephone in the store for emergency communications.

It turned out that the comrade in Nanjing who was in charge of his job had an accident, and a traitor who knew him came to Nanjing.

Fortunately, the organization knew about it in advance and transferred him in time.

Lao Liang was originally in Anqing, but was sent to Nanjing by the organization to take over the work of his previous comrade.

Lao Liang's job is very important, and even if the liaison comes, he is very cautious and does not let anyone see them together in public.

Lao Liang's work has already started, but he cannot do nothing in Nanjing, so a suitable cover identity is very important.

He is a man of letters and well-educated. He used to run a stationery business in Anqing, so he is not afraid of being investigated if he opens a store like this in Nanjing.

As for Anqing, he has made proper arrangements.

There he offended a local thug and could no longer run his store, so he was forced to move to Nanjing to make a living.

These are things that can be found.

In terms of safety, comrades suffered a lot in the early years, but have made great progress in recent years. No one will ignore safety issues.

"I came here for another matter. Comrades from Shanghai sent me a message that a comrade who used to work in Rehe has lost contact. He has now arrived in Nanjing and cannot contact the organization. I request that the organization contact him."

"Secretary Huang has confirmed with the organization that he is indeed our comrade, but he has been out of contact for three years. Secretary Huang wants you to contact him secretly and conduct an audit of his situation over the past three years."

Many of their comrades have lost contact, and they are in almost all places, especially underground workers.

The Kuomintang wreaked havoc and caused losses in many places. Some comrades escaped but were caught online. Since they had only one line of contact before, they could no longer get in touch with the organization.

Once such comrades are found, they will be brought back.

However, we must first screen them to avoid spies who have surrendered to the enemy and returned as undercover agents. Before the review is completed, such comrades will not be allowed to access any secrets, nor will they be assigned any work.

"No problem, I'll identify it."

Lao Liang responded immediately, saying that he had done this kind of work before and had rich experience.

"He sends out signals in the newspaper every month. We can also send out signals in advance to let him know that the organization is aware of his existence. Secretary Huang's meaning is that you send out the signal first to see if he responds. If he does, you can leave an address in a missing person notice, and I will cooperate with you to check secretly."

The organization will not abandon any comrade, but will not have real contact with this comrade until it is confirmed to be safe.

He could secretly see if there were any suspicious persons around the meeting point. If so, the meeting would be canceled immediately.

If not, he will notify Lao Liang to come and identify the person.

It's just recognizing people, we won't meet for the first time.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Lao Liang listened to his plan carefully and nodded continuously. There should be no negligence in the work behind enemy lines, otherwise a heavy price would be paid.

This arrangement is just the first test.

If the first test is successful, the real connection will be made. After making proper arrangements, Lao Liang will meet this comrade.

After the meeting, the next step is review and screening.

Find out where he has lived and what he has done in the past three years and if there is anyone who can prove it. Then investigate his life trajectory to see if it is true.

If you are caught, your life will definitely be inconsistent for a period of time.

"His code name is Kite. When you post a missing person notice, just say you're looking for Zheng Xiaoyu. When he sees it, he'll know the organization is looking for him."

This was the agreement made between Lu Hanping and Boss Huang. Zheng is the homonym of the last character of the character "zheng" (kite), and "feng" (wind) is replaced by "yu" (rain).

"Okay, I'll send the message tomorrow, and I'll let you know when he responds."

"I plan to open a shop on Wenfang Street, named Liang Ji Wenfang. If anything happens, I will put a sign at the door saying that there are new products in the store. We can meet in the store then. If the organization has a mission, you can go to the store to buy something, and give it to me..."

When Lao Liang talked about his future work plans, there were not only appointment signals, but also signals of danger and safety.

If there are danger signs, never enter the store.

These signals were arranged very cleverly. The visitors listened very carefully, memorized them and then left.

At noon, Xu Qingyun came here again, this time he was alone, and Zheng Jiming was sent by him to buy things.

At the door, Xu Qingyun was slightly stunned.

Did both of the previous footprints appear?

After looking at the footprints, Xu Qingyun left and waited secretly outside the alley.

Ten minutes later, a person came out from the third household, and Xu Qingyun recognized him at a glance as the person who was moving around in the theater.

The one who came out was Lao Liang.

Lao Liang, wearing a hat and carrying a briefcase, walked out for a while, called a rickshaw, and went directly to the newspaper office.

He came to post a missing person notice.

The newspaper advertisement was published very quickly. All you need to do for a small advertisement is pay. When Lao Liang left, he deliberately went to other places and finally returned home.

"Team leader, where have you been?"

When Xu Qingyun came back, Zheng Jiming was already waiting anxiously. He went out to buy something and when he came back he didn't see anyone and was scared to death.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual around him. He waited patiently, and half an hour later the team leader finally came back.

"I just took a look around, it's okay, go back."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. After Lao Liang left the newspaper office, he entered the newspaper office and asked Lao Liang what he had done over a pack of cigarettes.

He already knew the contents of the missing person notice.

It is normal to post a missing person notice. Communication is not so convenient these days, and once some relatives or friends move away, they can be found quickly. Posting a missing person notice can help find them.

Not to mention now, this method has existed for a long time in later generations.
