The Spy

Chapter 146 Qingyun is red?

"Team leader, can I bring Jin Fang's men with me to investigate?"

Yan Ming asked proactively. Xu Qingyun looked at him and understood what he meant: "Okay, just find the person as soon as possible."

"Yes, team leader." Yan Ming responded immediately.

This task originally belonged to Zuo Jinfang. He has been doing it for so long and works very hard.

Now that Zuo Jinfang is injured and unable to continue working, Yan Ming taking over is equivalent to taking advantage of him. If he eliminates Zuo Jinfang's subordinates, it would be equivalent to Yan Ming taking away their credit for nothing.

Yan Ming doesn't need to do this.

Their team made great achievements this time, capturing the observer and two hidden Japanese spies. Except for him, this was enough for everyone to be promoted to a higher rank.

Even he might be promoted to lieutenant this time.

Therefore, he specifically proposed to bring all the members of Zuo Jinfang team with him to prevent all the hard work from going in vain.

If the person is not found, no matter how much you do or how hard you work, it will be just hard work. Only when the person is found will the hard work turn into success.

Yan Ming left and Xu Qingyun began to write the case closing report.

This case started with the discovery of a Japanese spy observer, and the investigation continued step by step until the entire hidden Japanese spy group was eventually uncovered.

Including the team leader who committed suicide by taking poison.

The other two observers Yan Ming was looking for at this time were for other cases.

Yang Wenxu went to Tianjin as the head of the intelligence team, waiting for this case closing report to be promoted to deputy station chief and military rank. Xu Qingyun would not let him wait too long.

As for the assassination case, that is a special case.

Xu Qingyun only needs to mention it briefly in the case closing report.

Only he would treat it as a separate case if it were someone else, no matter if they were intelligence officers or operatives, they would definitely highlight and highlight six Japanese at a time. However, Xu Qingyun had captured too many people, so he didn't care much about it.

Shanghai Special High Section, Aoki received a reply from the observer and came to report immediately.

"Which link is the problem?"

Kawashima seemed very angry. He could accept the accident, but he could not tolerate not even finding the cause.

Not being able to find the reason means that the undercover team he arranged may be caught again in the future.

"Section Chief, judging by the timing, it is most likely that Sanbashi will be exposed first."

Aoki lowered his head and said, Sanqiao is Mi Zhongwei, Jian Mingfei's real name is Zhongjo, they have all met with accidents, so there is no need to call them by code names.

"Three bridges."

Kawashima narrowed his eyes. What Aoki said was possible. Nakajo had just sent back an important intelligence a few days ago that several schools were going to be established in Nanjing, and one of the schools would be filled with children of powerful people. He suggested that they send people in advance to make preparations and infiltrate the school to lie in wait.

This information was provided by Mi Zhongwei.

If he was exposed first, it was very likely that when Nakajo was passing on intelligence later, he would be caught by the Military Intelligence Department and obtain all the offline information.

After all, if Nakajo was exposed first, they might not even be able to pass this information back.

Nakajo didn't know the observer existed, so the observer was fine and could continue to send back information.

The information they received was limited and they didn't know that Nakajo was dead. Based on the limited information, this was their best inference.

In fact, this reasoning is not flawed and is true to a certain extent.

Xu Qingyun did find Mi Zhongwei first, and discovered Jian Mingfei through him, but the two of them only learned the location after arresting Liao Wenting. It was finally Yan Ming who found the people and arrested them all.

Unfortunately, the initial conditions were wrong, and the results they finally deduced were completely wrong.

"Section Chief, I suggest sending an intelligence agent with a large sum of money to Nanjing to cooperate with the mountain ghosts and find out all the details. Now we don't know their specific process of handling the case, so we can't take effective precautions and are in a very passive position."

Qingmu said again that Xu Qingyun attached great importance to the confidentiality of the case and no leakage was allowed to outside except those who knew the inside story.

All of Xu Qingyun's subordinates are newcomers. They form their own faction and are not familiar with others. Anyone who dares to ask them about the situation will be suspected immediately.

Yang Wenxu's subordinates only knew that Mi Zhongwei and others had been exposed, and they knew nothing else.

Only a few people from the interrogation department participated and were ordered to keep it strictly confidential. They knew what happened to Gong Zhaolin and no one dared to say anything.

The remaining ones are Xu Zhanjie, Miao Feng, Secretary Qi and Director.

These are people who are unlikely to leak secrets.

"I agree. Please arrange for someone to go there immediately."

Kawashima did not hesitate. He had to find out the situation in Nanjing as soon as possible. He could not hide the losses of the tea group for long. When the chief asked about it, he could only speculate without any evidence, which would probably put him in a more passive position.

"Hay."

Aoki received the order and said that this mission was very dangerous and a smart person had to be sent.

The information is provided by Shan Gui, and it is possible that someone in the Military Intelligence Department knows the details. Then he will come forward, whether it is threats or inducements, or setting up a trap to lure the other party into taking the bait, he must be dragged into the water and turned against the party.

No matter how much money is spent.

Even if it's just for this intelligence, it doesn't matter if the person who instigated the rebellion is exposed afterwards.

The instigators are completely different from our own people. Shan Gui is one of our own and he is absolutely trustworthy, but all kinds of situations may occur with the instigators.

For example, Lu Dawang, who was previously instigated by the Hangzhou Special High Section, was too greedy for money, which led to him exposing himself and eventually implicated the people of the Hangzhou Special High Section.

In the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Shi Qingbin was sitting in his office while two of his subordinates were reporting to him.

They found Lu Hanping's residence.

They searched the area where Lu Hanping appeared, asked questions with photos in hand, and finally found the rental house he lived in.

According to the landlord, Lu Hanping had not been in Nanjing for long.

He seldom went out on weekdays. Later, Lu Hanping found a job as an accountant. He went out early and came back late every day. Not many people had seen him.

They searched the residence carefully but found nothing of use.

Shi Qingbin was not surprised by this result. The Red Party was much more cautious now than before. Especially after the incidents in Shanghai and Beijing, their undercover personnel had requested that nothing that could easily expose their identity be kept at home.

Even if you have it, keep it well hidden.

"Team leader, we found out that the shooter was not from the military intelligence department. He was a policeman, the deputy director of Chengdong. He was transferred from Tianjin not long ago. He was first in the western suburbs, and then with the help of his brother Xu Qingyun, he entered the lucrative Chengdong."

The subordinates continued to report that Xu Qingshi had fired a gun and was hated by Shi Qingbin.

The result surprised Shi Qingbin a little, as this person did not actually belong to the Military Intelligence Department.

"I've been transferred here not long ago. How much time do you have?" Shi Qingbin asked immediately.

"For more than a month, he was the captain of the Tianjin team and the confidant of Director Wang Jiansheng. After Wang Jiansheng was transferred, he was given a nominal position and later came to Nanjing with his brother Xu Qingyun."

"Xu Qingyun is very capable. He was a policeman at the beginning of the year. He caught five Japanese spies in Tianjin and was valued by the Military Intelligence Department. Xu Zhanjie personally went to accept him as a student. Not long after, he became the head of the intelligence team in Tianjin and was transferred back to Nanjing by Xu Zhanjie."

Shi Qingbin's men conducted a very detailed investigation. These matters were not particularly confidential. Almost everyone in the Military Intelligence Department knew about them, so they were easy to find out.

"You became the head of the intelligence team so soon?"

Shi Qingbin was a little surprised. He had never paid attention to Xu Qingyun before. If it weren't for this conflict, he wouldn't even know who Xu Qingyun was.

But he had heard about the capture of Japanese spies in Tianjin. After all, it was a big event in the intelligence system.

I didn't expect that this person, so young, would be promoted so quickly.

Shi Qingbin suddenly felt jealous.

It took him several years of hard work to be promoted to the position of intelligence team leader based on his merits. However, Xu Qingyun completed the journey that took him several years in just over a month.

"Team leader, it's very fast."

The subordinates nodded hurriedly. After finding out, they also felt incredible. According to their investigation, Xu Qingyun was not older than them.

He is so young, but now he is the head of the intelligence team. In the future, he can at least be a station chief.

Although the Military Intelligence Department was established later, it has developed rapidly and is now not much inferior to them in terms of influence or personnel structure.

"Lu Hanping has been in Nanjing for a short time. Could he have any relationship with them?"

Shi Qingbin suddenly asked. His subordinate was slightly startled, then shook his head: "Team Leader, we can't be sure that they are related now. We don't know where Lu Hanping was before he came to Nanjing."

"Why did Lu Hanping choose to run to Xu Qingyun's side? Why did Xu Qingyun protect him so much and sent so many people to protect him?"

Shi Qingbin raised a new question again. Although Lu Hanping and the Xu brothers did not come to Nanjing together, the time difference between them was not much.

"Team leader, do you suspect Xu Qingyun is red?"

The subordinate asked carefully, and Shi Qingbin did not hide the fact at all: "There are too many coincidences in this matter. Could it be that Lu Hanping was going to see Xu Qingyun at that time?"

"The Military Intelligence Department killed one of our men and is holding the other captive. Is this Xu Qingyun's revenge?"

"Xu Qingyun is young and was a policeman before. Who can guarantee that he has not been recruited by the Red Party? Even his entry into the Military Intelligence Department was arranged by the Red Party?"

Shi Qingbin asked questions continuously, but his subordinates lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Xu Qingyun is not an ordinary person. He is the most popular person in the Military Intelligence Department. Almost all the great achievements made by the Military Intelligence Department recently are related to him.

"You should go to Shandong and Tianjin immediately, focusing on the area around Xu Qingyun's former school and the police station, to check whether Lu Hanping has ever lived there."

Although no one answered, Shi Qingbin became more and more suspicious and immediately gave the order.

"Shandong Tianjin?"

The subordinates were stunned. Traveling long distances these days was not as convenient as it is in later times, and the roads were not as peaceful.

"go immediately."

Shi Qingbin glared at him. He had previously gone to the Military Intelligence Department to ask for his people, but as expected, the Military Intelligence Department did not admit that they had captured their people.

They said that the person they arrested was an assistant to the Japanese spies, who assisted them in the assassination, and they are investigating.

What a crappy helper. The Military Intelligence Department did this on purpose. With such a big accusation put on him, he can’t keep asking for people.

Now the director is in a verbal dispute with them, and Shi Qingbin can't help much. But today's discovery and doubts seem to have helped him find a breakthrough against the Military Intelligence Department.

If Xu Qingyun is really a member of the Red Party, no one can save him this time, and at the same time they can severely trample the Military Intelligence Department.

By then, he will be the next in line to be the deputy section chief.

After his men left, Shi Qingbin became more and more excited. If his guess was true, he would have to show off this time.

He himself did not realize that he was actually deeply jealous of Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun has reached the same level as him in such a short time. Wouldn't he have better development than him in the future?

This time they had a conflict, which was equivalent to a contradiction.

He discovered another possible secret of Xu Qingyun.

He wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate this young man and let people see that he was more powerful than Xu Qingyun.

Intelligence work is all about doubting everything.

If there is any suspicion, an investigation must be conducted. As long as he finds evidence that Lu Hanping and Xu Qingyun lived together, he can report it and formally launch an investigation into Xu Qingyun.

It’s not possible now. The other party’s level is not inferior to his. If he rushes to investigate and is discovered, he will be the one who will be in the passive position.

"Brother Qingyun, you are here."

At the hospital, Zuo Jinfang wanted to get up, but Xu Qingyun held him down: "The doctor said, don't move."

Zuo Jinfang has recovered well in the past two days and will be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate in a few days.

"Brother Qingyun, have you found the person?" Zuo Jinfang grinned. He already knew that the team leader had given the investigation task to Yan Ming, but Yan Ming did not take all the credit and continued the investigation with his men.

He had expressed his gratitude when Yan Ming came to see him last time.

He didn't care that much about the credit, but they had worked so hard before, and if they really gave up all the tasks, he would not be able to explain to his subordinates.

"Not yet. It takes time to find someone. Don't worry."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. As long as Zuo Jinfang was okay, he was glad. He was an old subordinate, the most loyal one and the one that Xu Qingyun trusted the most.

If something happened to him, Xu Qingyun would never feel relieved no matter how many Japanese he killed.

"Brother Qingyun, people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office have come to the hospital several times in the past few days. What do they want to do?"

Zuo Jinfang suddenly said that Shi Qingbin sent people to investigate, and the hospital was a place that could not be avoided. The most things happened here, and it was easiest to find out all kinds of situations from here.

"How many times have you come?" Xu Qingyun frowned.

"At least three times, and once he even touched me."

Zuo Jinfang replied that the hospital was being taken care of by his subordinates, and that the last time Shi Qingbin brought everyone here, his subordinates had met them.

Every time he came, his men would find him.

"I understand. I'll arrange some more people for you. Be careful."

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. The Party Affairs Investigation Office had no reason to take action against Zuo Jinfang, so they did not dare to act rashly.

But we have to be prepared for anything to avoid any eventuality.

"No, let them all go do their work. I don't need any care here."

Zuo Jinfang immediately shook his head. He only had one subordinate here, and in fact he didn't want this one. Investigating the case was important. If the person was found and this subordinate didn't participate, it would be equivalent to losing a share of the credit.

By that time, when others get promoted, he may have to stay where he is.

Zuo Jinfang was unwilling to hinder his subordinates' future.

"Don't talk nonsense. Don't worry. Once I find them, I will let them go back immediately."

Xu Qingyun glared at Zuo Jinfang. He understood what this kid was thinking. No wonder the people in Team 2 were won over by him so quickly. It is impossible for his subordinates not to feel a leader who always cares about his subordinates and is sincere.

Zuo Jinfang did a good job in this regard, better than Yan Ming.

Yan Ming is very smart, but he is not as good as Zuo Jinfang in dealing with his subordinates. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses.

"Thank you, Team Leader."

Zuo Jinfang grinned, and this time he did not call Xu Qingyun's name directly. He was expressing his gratitude on behalf of his subordinates.

As long as he lets his subordinates participate and share the credit, Zuo Jinfang will be satisfied.

"You little brat."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. Zuo Jinfang used to be so honest, but now after getting promoted, he became petty like everyone else.

But he was not doing this for himself, but for his subordinates, which Xu Qingyun could understand.

"Team leader, Yan Ming called."

Zheng Jiming suddenly ran in. Yan Ming called the hospital. It must be something important.

"You have a good rest, I'll go back first."

Xu Qingyun patted Zuo Jinfang and immediately returned with Zheng Jiming and others.

After the last assassination attempt, Xu Zhanjie no longer allowed Xu Qingyun to go out alone.

Two more skilled fighters were transferred from other places to follow Xu Qingyun.

Anyway, the number of people in Intelligence Group 4 is not enough, just two more positions.

These two men have not received any special training, so they are not needed to investigate the case. They can just act as human shields and bodyguards.

Even his car now has an irregular license plate.

Make changes from time to time to prevent the enemy from finding him through the license plate and retaliating.

"Team Leader, I have discovered something."

As soon as he came back, Yan Ming ran over and whispered,

"Where are the photos?"

Xu Qingyun asked, after they found a suspect, they would take a photo of his footprints, and Xu Qingyun would use the footprints to determine whether it was the person who called before.

"It's not them, it's someone else."

Yan Ming shook his head. Xu Qingyun was a little surprised. Yan Ming was trying his best to check the remaining two observers. What new discoveries would he make?

"Let's talk about it back in the office."

Xu Qingyun didn't ask outside. He took Yan Ming back to the office alone and quickly understood what had happened.

During the investigation, Yan Ming asked many patrol officers.

It turned out that someone asked the patrol police about Xu Qingshi's situation.

Yan Ming is the best at chatting with others, and he is very good at asking questions. When he is happy, any secret can be asked out of him. The patrolman said that he let the cat out of the bag, and asked him to keep it a secret afterwards.

Yan Ming understood the relationship between the Xu brothers and immediately came back to report to Xu Qingyun.

Since Xu Qingyun was not there, he called the hospital.

"Who is this person?"

Xu Qingyun's face looked a little gloomy. Actually, he could guess who it was. His brother Xu Qingshi had not offended anyone recently, and only had conflicts with the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

"I'm not sure. He didn't tell me and I didn't ask him in detail. But I suspect it was someone from the Party Affairs Investigation Office because he was afraid that I would tell others."

Yan Ming shook his head. His guess was the same as Xu Qingyun's.

"Let the others continue to investigate, and you go and investigate this matter yourself."

Xu Qingyun ordered that the Party Affairs Investigation Office acted too quickly and his brother was indeed a suspect, so they must not be allowed to get any evidence against him.

That Shi Qingbin must be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Yes."

Yan Ming took the order and left, while Xu Qingyun closed his eyes.

He knew very well that getting rid of Shi Qingbin would not necessarily clear his brother of suspicion, but if Shi Qingbin died, anyone who investigated would be careful.

At least for a short period of time, my brother can be safe.

It was indeed the Party Affairs Investigation Office that investigated Xu Qingshi, but Xu Qingyun did not expect that Shi Qingbin suspected him.

Shi Qingbin investigated Xu Qingshi purely to see if he could find a breakthrough from him to target Xu Qingyun.

On the other hand, Miao Feng has officially notified the General Affairs Department and the Telecommunications Department to conduct an internal investigation.

And learn from Gong Zhaolin's lesson, no one should be complacent or hide anything.

It doesn't matter if he was tricked by someone, but if he knows about it but doesn't report it and finds out the traitor, he will be guilty of the same crime as the traitor and will have no way to survive.

It’s different if you speak it out. Those who are ignorant are not guilty, and they will not be held accountable when the time comes.

The Telecommunications Department and the General Affairs Department are both large departments, and Miao Feng had no choice but to give them some face and let them conduct self-inspection first.

On the other hand, Miao Feng focused on investigating people who had the opportunity to meet Xu Qingyun multiple times.

First is the Telecommunications Department. They are very close to the Intelligence Department, and many people can see the Intelligence Department from their offices.

But Xu Qingyun’s office is on the first floor and is blocked by trees, so if you want to be able to see him every time, there are only a few specific offices available.

What he wanted to check were the people in these offices, or whether there was anyone who came here frequently.

Among several offices, only those sitting by the windows have the best conditions.

These will be the focus of investigation.

The second is the General Affairs Department, which is responsible for all matters big and small in the department, and the Intelligence Department often has to come into contact with them.

For example, when Xu Qingyun replaced the office furniture, it was people from the General Affairs Department.

But their office is at the innermost part, and it is difficult to see Xu Qingyun unless you go out on purpose.

Xu Qingyun has been investigating cases and often goes out early and comes back late, and is not even in the office. If you don’t go to the Intelligence Department often, you won’t be able to see Xu Qingyun many times.

The scope of the investigation can be narrowed down again.

In the end, Miao Feng shortlisted a total of twelve people.

There are seven people in the Telecommunications Department and five people in the General Affairs Department.

"Chief Miao, are you free to come over for tea?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Miao Feng picked up the phone and heard the voice of Dong Chuanyun, deputy chief of the General Affairs Section.

"Chief Dong, I'm free and will be here soon."

Miao Feng didn't ask anything on the phone. There was a traitor in the department, and who knew if he would tamper with the phone. Although they had checked the phone lines, they tried to avoid saying anything over the phone if possible.

These are special times.

"Chief Dong, did you find anything?"

When he arrived at the General Affairs Department, Miao Feng asked immediately before he even sat down.

"Sit down and talk."

Dong Chuanyun was making tea. After it was done, he nodded slightly and said, "I found something. During the internal investigation, a member of our material team said that someone had asked him about the clothes of Team Leader Xu."

The materials group is mainly responsible for supplies such as clothes, shoes, and bedding.

Has anyone specifically asked the materials team about this?

"Who?"

Miao Feng was shocked and asked immediately.

"His classmate, Xin Shaowu from the Department of Telecommunications."

Dong Chuanyun replied that Gao Yuanhao and Xin Shaowu, members of their material team, were both ordinary members and they had been classmates in the military academy.

It's just a short-term training course.

There are many similar training courses, and people who have attended training courses together will naturally classify these relationships as classmates.

Xin Shaowu asked about this matter when they were drinking privately with Gao Yuanhao. Gao Yuanhao didn't think much about it at the time. Xu Qingyun's uniform was arranged by them, but the specific size was not clear, and they had to check to find out.

During this internal investigation, the higher-ups described the problem as very serious. Anyone who concealed anything would be punished by death.

With the example of Gong Zhaolin and the attack on Xu Qingyun, Gao Yuanhao did not dare to hide it and gave away the name of this classmate.

After Dong Chuanyun found out the situation, he immediately called Miao Feng.

"Xin Shaowu, he is most likely the traitor."

Miao Feng said angrily that his name was among the seven key investigation targets of the Telecommunications Department.
