The Spy

Chapter 144 Important Task
Shi Qingbin immediately went inside to check the situation in person. He wanted to make sure whether Lu Hanping was really dead.

Dead people have no value.

After seeing the corpse clearly, Shi Qingbin covered his mouth.

The person did die, and it was a very tragic scene.

Lu Hanping was hit in the abdomen and his lungs were injured. He had been struggling constantly, which aggravated his injuries. The doctors tried their best but ultimately failed to save him.

After confirming that the person was dead, Shi Qingbin immediately left the operating room. The smell inside was too bad and he didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

"let's go."

Shi Qingbin waved his hands. He had no interest in the corpse. The people from the Military Intelligence Department were here, and he couldn't take the body away even if it was dead. The other party had just fired a gun, and he didn't want to quarrel with them over a corpse.

Before leaving, he looked at Xu Qingshi again.

He hasn't found Lu Hanping's residence yet. The next step is to find out where Lu Hanping lives and see if he can find any useful information there.

But the hope is not great. Even if we can find it, I'm afraid we won't gain much.

Moreover, if something happened to Lu Hanping, the Red Party associated with him would certainly be alert.

As soon as they left, Xu Qingshi entered the operating room.

Xu Qingyun's men also went in with him.

Doctors are carrying Lu Hanping's body.

Xu Qingshi walked over quietly.

It was indeed the gentleman. He had no chance of survival. His face was pale, without a trace of blood, and there were bloodstains on his body from the operation.

"Put the body in storage first and wait for your team leader to deal with it."

Xu Qingshi said lightly, his tone calm and without any ripples.

He knew that he couldn't have any emotional fluctuations now, and he couldn't let anyone see that he knew the corpse in front of him.

Xu Qingshi left the operating room and came to Zuo Jinfang.

Zuo Jinfang had not fully woken up after the operation. Xu Erxi was looking after him in the ward. He stood up immediately when he saw Zuo Jinfang come in.

Xu Qingshi didn't say anything and just stood in front of the window.

The gentleman he had just met seemed to appear before his eyes again. He felt at that moment that this person was different from others. After getting to know him better, he discovered that his ideas were very avant-garde and he always considered the people as the basis for everything he did.

Gradually, Xu Qingshi began to respect him.

Later, Mr. Sun introduced him to organizational theory, and he was soon attracted to these things. He was deeply attracted by the idea of ​​organizing everything for the people and uniting all the poor masses.

This is a spirit of extreme selflessness and complete dedication of oneself.

The teacher not only taught him this, but also did it himself.

At any time, Mr. always considered them. Mr. knew their situation. Even if he wanted to meet Mr. more often, Mr. would never show up unless his safety was guaranteed.

The same was true when he came to Nanjing this time. He was not even allowed to know where he lived, just for their sake.

In the end, he would rather sacrifice himself than bring them danger and trouble.

The gentleman is great, he deserves the title of great.

He didn't deserve to die.

Those who deserve to die are the spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Office and the corrupt officials of the Kuomintang. They exploit the people without caring about their lives. They would rather let the people starve to death in order to live a life of luxury.

What's wrong with this world?
Those who truly want to do something for the country and the people are persecuted everywhere, while those cruel executioners are high above and enjoying themselves every day.

His husband died and he couldn't even cry.

At this time, Xu Qingshi's heart was full of sadness, but he could not show it in any obvious way.

Xu Erxi didn't dare to say anything, and quietly went out. He soon found out what had just happened.

Sir is dead?

Xu Erxi was also stunned and understood why the young master had such an expression.

He was well aware of the eldest young master's feelings for the master, and the master's death was a huge blow to him.

"died?"

At the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun received a report from his subordinates that the Red Party members they had captured could not be rescued. This was a big deal and his subordinates did not dare to conceal it.

"Team Leader, someone from the Party Affairs Investigation Office just arrived..."

The men told Xu Qingyun everything that happened after Shi Qingbin came over, including the shooting of Xu Qingshi.

"I understand. Send the body back. Let my brother and the people from the Operations Department go back. You guys stay and protect Zuo Jinfang."

After Xu Qingyun finished speaking, he hung up the phone and closed his eyes to think.

My brother actually shot at the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office. It seems that my inference was correct. He and Lu Hanping had known each other for a long time.

But if he opened fire, he would easily be hated by the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

He wanted to help his brother eliminate this hidden danger and at the same time help Comrade Lu Hanping to take revenge.

And what about the man who met Lu Hanping yesterday, did he know that Lu Hanping was dead?

Xu Qingyun thought a lot.

Xu Qingyun did not leave after get off work, but he finally got good news that Zuo Jinfang had woken up and was in good condition.

He didn't know that Xu Qingshi was drinking alone at home for the rare occasion.

In the morning, Yan Ming ran into Xu Qingyun's office.

"Team leader, we found one."

The case is still ongoing, but the blockade has been completely lifted. The six Japanese spies who assassinated Xu Qingyun have all been found. Unfortunately, the captain who was sent to the hospital could not be saved.

Now there are only two people left alive. Xu Qingyun will slowly deal with them and make them regret coming into this world.

"That's right. Arrest him immediately and continue searching until the last one is found."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said that the case was not over yet and he had not written the closing report.

The team leader is already dead, so there is no need to keep an eye on these two people. Just arrest them when you find them.

Catch him and interrogate him.

By asking them for detailed information, we can also find out how many traitors this group has incited and what they have done.

"Team leader, the body has been buried."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zheng Jiming came to report that Xu Qingyun had seen Lu Hanping's body yesterday. Now that the weather is getting warmer, they will not keep the body there forever.

Today he asked him to take people to bury Lu Hanping.

He couldn't afford a proper burial, so he had someone wrap the body in a straw mat and bury it deep to prevent it from being dug out by wild dogs. The body was scattered everywhere, scaring passers-by.

The purpose of doing this is to protect Lu Hanping's body first.

"Brother, do you have anything tonight?"

After Zheng Jiming left, Xu Qingyun picked up the phone and called Xu Qingshi.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyun knocked on the table.

He knew who the person from the Party Affairs Investigation Office was. The spy had already confessed yesterday. He was the head of the Intelligence Group 2, Shi Qingbin.

This person deserves to die.

Today he asked his men to investigate some of Shi Qingbin's circumstances. They had a conflict with the other party and even fired guns. He also arrested the other party's people. It was normal to investigate these.

In his early years in Peiping, Shi Qingbin arrested many Red Party members and progressive students.

He killed no less than twenty people.

Because of his many meritorious services, he was promoted to the head of the intelligence team in Beiping, and was later valued by the headquarters and transferred to the headquarters as the head of the second intelligence team. The headquarters acquiesced that he was a half-level senior, and his future development prospects were better when he was transferred to the headquarters.

It was he who killed Lu Hanping again. Such a person must not be allowed to stay any longer.

Especially after his brother fired the gun, Xu Qingyun was worried that Shi Qingbin would suspect his brother and investigate him.

As long as he doesn't die, Xu Qingshi won't be safe.

Xu Qingyun knew the nature of spies best. Once they smell something fishy, ​​they would pursue them relentlessly and would not stop until they got to the bottom of it.

He himself was like this. If he smelled a little bit of the scent of Japanese spies, it meant that these Japanese spies were about to be in trouble.

"Qingyun."

In the evening, Xu Qingshi arrived at Xu Qingyun's house on time, and Zheng Jiming was also there.

After the assassination, Zheng Jiming was unwilling to separate from his team leader. Xu Qingyun couldn't win over him, so he had to let him stay.

Yan Ming arrested someone today, and the other one has not been found yet and is being interrogated overnight.

"Brother, where's Erxi?"

"outside."

"Let him come in and have dinner together. He has worked hard during this period."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said that Erxi had been secretly providing support with his men these days. His subordinates were frequently rotated, but he was always there.

"it is good."

Xu Qingshi did not refuse. Erxi came in quickly and greeted Xu Qingyun first.

Xu Qingshi drank a lot yesterday, but he didn't dare to drink and kept taking care of Xu Qingshi.

The meal was very sumptuous, with six dishes, delivered from a nice restaurant outside.

"Jiming, eat more. This time it's all thanks to you."

Xu Qingshi took the initiative to pick up some food for Zheng Jiming. Zheng Jiming used to work in the police station and was considered his old subordinate.

"Captain, no, Director Xu, you don't have to be so polite, I can do it myself."

Zheng Jiming was a little flattered. Xu Qingshi used to be the team leader, a big shot he could never meet, but now he was picking food for him.

It's like a dream.

"It was really dangerous yesterday, all thanks to Jiming."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, and Xu Qingshi said, "Director Wang asked them to learn how to drive, and it seems that Jiming has learned it well."

"Jiming is actually very smart. In this special training, he ranked first in three of the twelve items."

The praise from the two made Zheng Jiming lower his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It was dangerous yesterday. I didn't expect people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office to suddenly show up. Fortunately, they were few in number. If we had fought with them again, there would have been an accident."

Xu Qingyun said suddenly, and Xu Qingshi felt a pain in his heart.

"Yes, I was there. They just opened fire and scared us all."

Xu Erxi continued, and as soon as he spoke, Zheng Jiming also dared to interrupt.

"Who said it wasn't? I was scared at the time. Fortunately, they didn't target us. The guy they were chasing was unlucky. Both bullets hit him in the vitals. I took some people to bury him today. He looked miserable."

Xu Qingyun specifically asked Zheng Jiming to deal with the body. Zheng Jiming would strictly follow whatever he said.

Xu Qingshi and Xu Erxi were both worried, but no one said anything.

"Our team leader said to bury it deeper, and that's right. If we don't bury him deeper, he might be taken out by wild dogs."

Once he started talking, Zheng Jiming kept talking and Xu Qingshi listened very carefully.

The gentleman's body has been dealt with, but he doesn't know where it is. If he knew, he would definitely help him collect the body.

Fortunately, they buried it deep enough that it was not destroyed by wild dogs.

"Okay, let's not talk about disgusting things. Did you find any suspicious people when you went out today, such as people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department?"

"No, don't worry, team leader. We will bury it in the west of the city. They won't notice it."

Zheng Jiming immediately shook his head. West of the city?

Xu Qingshi worked as deputy director of the Western Suburbs Branch for a short period of time, so he knew a little about the area and knew where suitable places outside were to dispose of corpses.

Xu Qingyun didn't ask any more questions. He took Xu Qingshi to drink with him and asked him about his work.

Xu Qingshi was different in the east and west suburbs of the city. Here he was very proactive and fought for more power.

Although the director didn't like him, Xu Qingshi had the support of the Military Intelligence Department. Neither the department nor the general bureau dared to target him, so he had no choice.

The two are fighting secretly now, but on the surface the former director is still more powerful.

He has been the director for several years. Xu Qingshi has just arrived and is a deputy. No one from above supports him, so his authority cannot be shaken for the time being.

I ate a lot of food but didn't drink much wine.

As soon as he got in the car, Xu Qingshi ordered: "Go to the western suburbs tomorrow and find out where the master is buried."

Xu Qingshi couldn't bear to see his husband being buried so hastily. There wasn't much he could do but help him move to a better place and provide him with a more comfortable environment to rest.

At this time he did not realize that all this was done deliberately by Xu Qingyun.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"Once you find it, go and order a good coffin. Don't order it in the city, go outside. We'll bury the gentleman's body far away. It's a pity that we can't use his name."

After saying this, Xu Qingshi's eyes turned red again. He could take the risk to bury the master, but he could not leave his name behind.

Otherwise, whether it is discovered by the Party Affairs Investigation Department or the Military Intelligence Department, it will be a big trouble for them.

"Yes."

Xu Erxi understood what was going on and responded in a low voice.

Another morning, Lao Liang heard a familiar knock on the door and immediately went to open it.

"I have reported Comrade Lu Hanping's case to Secretary Huang. According to our investigation at the hospital, Comrade Lu Hanping has died."

The one who came in was Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu spoke quickly. Lao Liang was slightly startled and looked painful.

Lu Hanping was arrested in front of him. He had been worried these days and finally received the bad news today.

Comrade Lu Hanping was a loyal fighter of the organization. He had been out of contact for so long and had been working hard to restore contact with the organization. He was killed just as he saw some hope. These traitors are truly despicable.

"Secretary Huang reported the incident. None of us wanted to see what happened to Comrade Lu Hanping, but it was an accident."

"According to the intelligence obtained by our comrades who went to the hospital to investigate, it was the Military Intelligence Department that arrested Comrade Lu Hanping, but it was the spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Department who were chasing him. The Party Affairs Investigation Department later went to the hospital to ask for his release, and a dispute broke out between the two sides. Unfortunately, Lu Hanping did not survive."

Xiao Wu carefully told Lao Liang the information he had obtained.

They have been working hard on Lu Hanping's case these days. Lu Hanping has proved through his actions that he is still a fighter of the Party. If he is alive, they must find a way to rescue him.

It's a pity that I missed this opportunity.

"I was at the scene at the time. Comrade Lu Hanping had nothing to do with the Military Intelligence Department. He happened to be involved in their gunfight and was caught. The person who shot him should be an agent from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. One of them was hit."

Lao Liang took a deep breath and spoke slowly, while Xiao Wu nodded: "That person is already dead, and the body was taken away by the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office."

"It's a dog-eat-dog situation, but they have helped Comrade Lu Hanping get some revenge."

Lao Liang snorted coldly. The Military Intelligence Department is also a spy agency, and in their eyes they are all the same.

"Minister Liang, the matter of Comrade Lu Hanping ends here. We will avenge him when we have the chance. Secretary Huang has given you an important task..."

Xiao Wu said softly that they were all heartbroken over the sacrifice of their comrades, but behind enemy lines, they still had to work hard for the safety of more comrades. This time, Secretary Huang asked him to bring a very important task.
