The Spy

Chapter 149: Millennium Fox
"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Zheng Jiming knew clearly the purpose of his mission, which was to arrest people, interrogate them and extract confessions.

Get them to admit that an investigation is ongoing into the team leader.

As long as they admit it, they are right.

"Okay, I'll take you to the station tomorrow."

Yan Ming smiled and nodded. The Party Affairs Investigation Office must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. They suspected that their team leader was a member of the Red Party?

He knew the team leader's situation best and had made a lot of money both in Tianjin and Nanjing.

His work style is the same as that of the Kuomintang. He not only takes money but also gives it away. He is a complete corrupt official.

If the Inspection Department came to conduct the investigation, it could still be a bit threatening to the team leader, but forget about it if it was the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

Even if there is an inspection, only their internal inspectors have the power to investigate.

"Young Master, I'm back."

The next day at noon, Xu Erxi called and said he had returned from Shanghai.

You don't know until you go there, and you'll be shocked. Especially this time, the things Xu Qingyun asked him to inquire about refreshed his three views. He never thought that these simple things would be so expensive.

Some of these things are impossible for ordinary people to buy in their lifetime.

There are even some things that you can never afford in your lifetime.

For example, some famous brand watches.

Some cost thousands of dollars a piece, or even tens of thousands of dollars, which was beyond his imagination.

"Have you found out everything?"

Xu Qingyun asked proactively, Xu Erxi nodded and took out a notebook. There were too many things, so he wrote down everything he had asked in the notebook.

"There are quite a few directors in the Municipal Council, as well as in the French Concession Municipal Council. Some of them are Chinese, all of them are big businessmen, but most of them are foreigners. The Commissioner of Police is all foreigners..."

Xu Erxi began to report what he had learned, including the Municipal Council and the Municipal Council.

There are not as many concessions in Shanghai as in Tianjin. At the most time, it was also in Tianjin, which was known as the Concessions of Nine Countries.

Today, Shanghai mainly consists of the International Settlement, the French Concession and the Japanese Concession.

The Japanese Concession was not recognized by all sectors, but in fact it belonged to the Japanese territory, and their status there was no different from that in the concession.

Xu Erxi mainly inquired about the International Settlement and the French Concession.

This was his first time to Shanghai and he was dazzled by what he saw.

It is worthy of being called Shanghai, it is indeed prosperous, much better than Tianjin and Nanjing. Tianjin is also good, at least the concession is well developed.

"Well done, go back and rest first, I'll find you if there's anything else."

Xu Qingyun listened to his report carefully and nodded continuously. Xu Erxi was very attentive and asked all the questions he asked, including those that were not requested, and brought back detailed information from Shanghai.

Xu Qingyun went to Shanghai in his later life, but it was completely different from what it is now.

After Xu Erxi left, Xu Qingyun looked through the things he had written down, including stockings, perfumes, lipsticks, leather shoes, watches, etc. Not only were there retail prices, but Xu Erxi also found a way to ask about their wholesale prices.

It's not difficult to ask these questions. If a woman gives rouge or something like that, or a man gives cigarettes, it's easy to find out.

If it really doesn't work, just give me a lot of money. If it's enough, I will tell you everything I know.

The retail prices of luxury goods are indeed very high, and even the wholesale prices are not low.

According to the quotation given by John, the business can be done, but the profit sharing cannot be done according to what he said.

As for sales, Xu Qingyun had no intention of handing it over to John.

The place where it really sells well is Shanghai.

In Nanjing, we can let him sell some products and do retail.

John can draw sketches, and he might be useful in the future. But when he goes to Shanghai, he will have to find someone new.

After putting the things away, Xu Qingyun did not contact John.

We can't be impatient now, otherwise we will not be able to seize the initiative.

Zheng Jiming had already boarded the train. Yan Ming continued to lead people to investigate. Yan Ming arranged two people to keep an eye on the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

They were not targeting their own people, but some peripheral people.

The people in the Party Affairs Investigation Office are not that diligent. Unless it is an urgent task, they often have to mobilize outsiders to investigate. This time, Yan Ming knew through their outsiders that Shi Qingbin was investigating him.

"Team Leader, these are newly taken photos."

Yan Ming returned to the office in the afternoon and presented the newly taken photos to Xu Qingyun.

He now leads two teams with sufficient manpower, and the investigation is very fast. Every day there are new people who look similar to him to verify. The main thing is to take photos of their footprints, without having to ask any questions or track them.

This job is simple. Just confirm the footprints. If you can't be sure, take a few more photos to make sure you don't miss any.

Xu Qingyun opened a thick stack of photos and looked through them carefully one by one.

When he turned to the middle, Xu Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately took out a photo from the drawer for comparison.

Yan Ming was sitting nearby drinking tea, and immediately stood up when he noticed Xu Qingyun's actions.

"Team leader, have you found it?"

Seeing that Xu Qingyun had been staring at the two photos and had not put them away, Yan Ming asked carefully.

"Yes, I found it."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, and found one of the cyclists. The shoes were not the same, but he could be sure they belonged to the same person.

If he finds it, he can't escape.

"Great."

Yan Ming smiled happily and said that finding the observer meant finding more Japanese spies.

These Japanese are stupid. Although the observer does not know where the hidden Japanese spy is, his task is equivalent to exposing the hidden Japanese spy.

In fact, Yan Ming understood that this method was actually very good and reliable. If it were someone else, even if they knew how to make a phone call, it would be difficult to find the person.

These people are extremely careful. They make calls from different locations at irregular intervals and only once a month, so they are difficult to track.

Unfortunately, they met the team leader.

If the team leader did not have the unique skill of observing shoe prints and so many methods to solve the case, the Japanese spy observers could have hidden very well.

I can only say that they were unlucky to meet the team leader.

"Find out about his situation right now."

Xu Qingyun took out the photo. Yan Ming knew who the shoe print belonged to. They had already asked the person, so it would not be difficult to conduct a detailed investigation.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Yan Ming left quickly to verify the person, while Xu Qingyun stood up and went to Xu Zhanjie's office.

"Found another one?"

Xu Zhanjie was very surprised. There had been no movement in the past few days, and he had not urged Xu Qingyun. He had already captured two groups of Japanese spies, totaling more than a dozen Japanese spies. Xu Zhanjie was very satisfied.

He had never achieved this kind of result before.

Transferring Xu Qingyun to Nanjing can be said to be his wisest decision.

"Teacher, there is one more thing..."

Xu Qingyun mentioned in passing that the Party Affairs Investigation Office was investigating him. This matter was not suitable for a separate report, and he mentioned the achievements made today in passing.

“They are seeking death.”

Sure enough, Xu Zhanjie was so angry that he slammed the table. The Party Affairs Investigation Office was secretly investigating Xu Qingyun.

What do they want to do?
"I asked Jiming to go to Tianjin and ask Stationmaster Wu and his men for help to arrest the man first."

"Well done, that's how it should be. Arrest them. I want to see if they are brave enough to investigate our military intelligence department. Don't worry, they are being arrested as bribed by Japanese spies. They are helping the Japanese spies investigate you."

Xu Zhanjie shouted angrily, and Xu Qingyun was slightly stunned. It turned out that the old man was the wisest. He only wanted to find evidence against the other party, but Xu Zhanjie just put a big hat on him.

Collaborating with Japan is equivalent to being a traitor, which is enough to destroy Shi Qingbin.

"Thank you, teacher."

Xu Qingyun thanked him immediately, while Xu Zhanjie waved his hand and said, "And the one we have in custody, record a new statement for him, saying that he cooperated with the Japanese spies to assassinate you."

Well, Xu Zhanjie put on a full show and used the one they caught as well.

The confession was certainly obtained under torture, but it was a confession after all.

In addition, the Party Affairs Investigation Office did send people to investigate Xu Qingyun's situation, and Xu Qingyun had also been assassinated, so it was easy to connect the dots.

"is teacher."

Xu Qingyun went to the interrogation in person. The Party Affairs Investigation Office had been asking for people these days, and the director had already had two verbal battles with Xu Laogui.

The man was caught at the scene of a stabbing and had fired a gun. The director had enough reasons and was not afraid at all.

After Xu Qingyun left, Xu Zhanjie immediately stood up and went to report to the director.

"We should have done this a long time ago. Let Xu Qingyun rest assured. I will make the decision for him on this matter."

After listening to the report, the director replied coldly, "Who cares if it's a frame-up or not? Whatever benefits you can get will be done."

The Party Affairs Investigation Office is so despicable that they actually wanted to plot against Xu Qingyun.

They were having trouble catching people, and the Red Party members they were targeting ran away. It was normal for them to run to the war zone in order to escape.

The more chaotic a place is, the more dangerous it is, but at the same time, the greater the chance of escape.

You can't catch the person, so you blame others?

Don't even think about it. They are not soft persimmons that can be easily bullied by party investigations.

"Thank you, Director."

Xu Zhanjie was completely relieved. With the support of the Director, he would definitely give the Party Affairs Investigation Office a hard time this time.

"Let Xu Qingyun focus on the case and don't be distracted. You handle these matters yourself."

The director instructed that Xu Zhanjie should report not only this matter, but also the good news first, just like Xu Qingyun.

Another Japanese spy observer was found, and it is possible to capture the entire Japanese spy team again.

The more Japanese spies catch before they react, the better.

Virgo needs results. The Kuomintang is not stupid. It was fine 31 years ago. They didn't know how to deal with the Japanese at all. The Kuomintang even placed orders to build warships in Japan.

After Japan occupied the Northeast, everyone knew what Sima Zhao was up to. They found reasons to seize the warships. The old man wanted to trade space for time, hoping to resolve the hidden dangers around him as soon as possible, and then free up his energy to fight Japan again.

I can only say that the old man’s ideas are beautiful, but the reality is very bleak.

He had more than one problem to solve. It was not easy to purge the internal situation. Various warlords formed their own factions, and it was impossible for him to truly take full power.

"Yes, Virgo."

Xu Zhanjie lowered his head and left. The director took Xu Qingyun very seriously and did not want him to be distracted by this matter. He asked him to handle it specifically.

However, it is really not convenient for Xu Qingyun to take part in such matters, so he is the most suitable person to do it.

"Teacher, give a confession."

The new confession was obtained very quickly. The man from the Party Affairs Investigation Office was afraid of death and even more afraid of pain.

After a few whippings, he will say whatever he wants.

After so many days without the Party Affairs Investigation Office taking him away, he knew that he was in great danger. In order to suffer less, he dared to say anything.

Their investigation and surveillance of the Red Party turned into using the Red Party as an excuse to assassinate Xu Qingyun.

There are bound to be loopholes in the confession, but Xu Zhanjie doesn't care. What he wants is for them to admit it.

It will be easy if you admit it.

"Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about this matter. I will personally greet Wu Shaoshu."

Xu Zhanjie took the confession and put it aside with satisfaction. Xu Qingyun was very good at torture, and he had a way to make the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office admit it themselves.

Even if he didn't admit it at the time, he would be asked to confess 'voluntarily' afterwards and then the recording would be made.

There are recordings and confessions with signatures and fingerprints, but once the person dies, there is no evidence.

The person from the Party Affairs Investigation Office didn't know much about it. It would have been fine if he didn't confess as required. But if he did, his death would not be far away.

Xu Zhanjie would not give him a chance to change his confession.

It is very easy for Xu Zhanjie to execute someone, as the Military Intelligence Department has a lot of high-tech gadgets.

Among them are poisons that delay the onset of poison.

The time can be controlled within two hours.

If you eat it and don't pay attention, you will die within two hours.

The principle is very simple. It is to add a layer of substance that takes two hours to digest outside the poison. When the time is up, the poison will cause death.

Waste can also be useful.

This person from the Party Affairs Investigation Office will come back later and let them take him away before they die. Then all the blame will be put on them.

As for the poison, who knows when he took it?
Anyway, the Military Intelligence Department will not admit it, and the food in their stomachs will be completely digested. Then the time will come and it can be said that the Party Affairs Investigation Department killed people to silence them.

At Tianjin Station, before Zheng Jiming arrived, Wu Shaoshu received a secret message from Xu Zhanjie.

There are traitors in the Party Affairs Investigation Office who cooperate with the Japanese to investigate Xu Qingyun's situation. Two of them quickly arrived in Tianjin and asked Tianjin Station to help arrest him.

The headquarters has sent Zheng Jiming over.

Xu Zhanjie never told Wu Shaoshu the truth. There was no need to do so.

Just arrest people as usual, the reason is legitimate and they already have the confessions.

Wu Shaoshu was very surprised after reading the telegram. Is the Party Affairs Investigation Office so arrogant?

No cover-up at all?
He read the telegram carefully twice and gradually came to his senses.

They are all old foxes who have practiced for thousands of years. Xu Zhanjie is playing "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" with him.

Even if the people in the Party Affairs Investigation Office were well connected, they couldn't have done it so obviously.

Thinking of some of the things Yang Wenxu said after arriving in Tianjin, Wu Shaoshu roughly guessed what was going on.

Before Xu Qingyun was assassinated, he happened to meet people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office who were chasing the Red Party. The man was caught by Xu Qingyun, but unfortunately he could not be saved and died in the hospital.

Because of this, there was a conflict between the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office and Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun even killed one of them on the spot and captured another.

This incident happened just before Yang Wenxu came to Tianjin. When Wu Shaoshu asked about the headquarters, Yang Wenxu mentioned it.

It seems that the two sides have a grudge because of this incident, and the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office are investigating Xu Qingyun.

These bastards are so bold. Is Xu Qingyun someone they can touch?

Xu Zhanjie didn't need to say hello, Wu Shaoshu would not stand idly by after knowing it.

Xu Qingyun is a talent from their Tianjin Station and one of their own.

"Call Chief Xu back. I know that once they come, they can't leave. I will get what Chief Xu wants."

Wu Shaoshu instructed Xie Yongshan that Yang Wenxu had just arrived and that the work of delivering important telegrams had always been done by Xie Yongshan.

But small things can prove that Xie Yongshan is the number one person in front of Wu Shaoshu.

"Yes, I'll arrange a call back right away."

Xie Yongshan took the order, but he had no idea what was going on. He really thought that there was a traitor in the Party Affairs Investigation Office, so they would arrest any traitor no matter where he was.

The second update is guaranteed. There will be no additional update today, but there will be one tomorrow.
