The Spy

Chapter 153 Sending People Again
Both families have followed the Xu family for a long time, at least one for more than 80 years.

They are not very old, thirty-three and thirty-five.

The two of them have elderly parents and young children to take care of. They are usually honest and hardworking, and they can read and do accounting.

Such people were also well treated in the Xu family. Xu Qingshi spoke of the matter as very important, so the Xu family did not hesitate and immediately sent them over.

"Thank you, brother. I understand."

Xu Qingyun thanked them and hung up the phone. He was glad that his family had arrived. He had quite a bit of money now and it was not a good idea to keep it in the bank. He should find a suitable business and let the money make more money quickly.

Xu Qingyun is not a good businessman, but he has experience that goes beyond eighty years of his time.

At least you know the future direction and what can make money.

In fact, the most profitable businesses nowadays are casinos and opium dens. No matter how much money gamblers have, it will all be handed over to the casinos in the end.

Not to mention the opium dens. Once you get addicted to opium, you can't control it at all and can only give money to the opium dens.

However, Xu Qingyun would not touch these businesses.

A person hurried into the office on the third floor.

"Chief Miao, according to our surveillance, Xin Shaowu has not shown any abnormalities in the past few days, but he likes to drink. He goes to restaurants almost every day and often drinks with other colleagues."

"Xin Shaowu's family is well-off. His wife owns a business, so the family has enough financial resources."

"According to our investigation, their family has not found any unexpected wealth for the time being. His wife has a good business and can earn thousands of dollars every month."

The person who came to report was Hou Yigong, the team leader of Group 1. The group is currently assisting Miao Feng in investigating the traitor.

It doesn't take many people to monitor just Xin Shaowu.

“Earn that much?”

Miao Feng frowned. He was the deputy chief of the Intelligence Department, not in the Telecommunications Department, and he didn't know much about the basic situation of their personnel.

Even if someone knows about it, it would be the personnel department or the inspection department.

Once the Intelligence Department wants to know the details about someone from other departments, it means that person is in trouble.

"His wife is good at business, and his father-in-law's family are all businessmen. Xin Shaowu's father is in the army and is a deputy brigade commander."

Xin Shaowu's own family is also good. There are many officials in his family. His father has a high rank and is in the old man's direct army.

"Did you monitor anything?"

"No, he comes home drunk almost every day. He never says anything at home. His wife calls him often, but she only talks about business."

Hou Yigong shook his head. The day after they investigated Xin Shaowu, they successfully installed a bug.

It was only installed at home, not in the office. Xin Shaowu worked in a large office, and they were in the telecommunications department, so it was easy for them to be discovered.

However, someone was placed next to Xin Shaowu, and there were spies from the telecommunications department keeping an eye on him.

"Check his wife, find out who she does business with, and check their backgrounds to see if they have any connection with the Japanese."

Miao Feng instructed that Xin Shaowu's wife could make money, his family was powerful, and he lived a good life, so it would be difficult for the Japanese to bribe him with money.

After all, he is just an ordinary employee and the Japanese will not invest too much in him.

But nothing is absolute. What if I give him money through business?
Or maybe he got some leverage over them in business and forced Xin Shaowu to submit?
In Miao Feng's heart, he still believed that Xin Shaowu was the traitor.

"Yes, I'll check right away."

Hou Yigong lowered his head and left. He knew that Group Three was assisting Group Four, but he was not sure what they were doing specifically. It was very likely that they were targeting the Japanese spies again.

He was envious, but not jealous.

His contribution is also not small as he was able to find out the traitor. The harm posed by the traitor is far greater than that lurking Japanese spies.

After reading the investigation report submitted by Hou Yigong, Miao Feng shook his head again.

There is no evidence yet that Xin Shaowu is colluding with Japan. If he finds any, he will arrest him immediately.

By then, Xin Shaowu will be speechless.

Nanjing Railway Station.

Kawano got off the train and nodded slightly to his companions next to him, and several people left the station in batches.

Kawano is the captain of the third team of the Shanghai Special High Section's operations group. Takeda, who was killed last time, is the captain of the second team. The last operation failed. Kawashima has confirmed that Xu Qingyun is still alive and quickly arranged another group of people to continue the assassination.

An assassination attempt had just taken place, and the difficulty of the assassination mission was very high at this time.

Kawashima had no choice. He had already lost two teams and six operatives in a row. If he failed to achieve any results, he would probably end up like the head of Tianjin Special High Section, Tanimura.

For the sake of his own future and life, he must find a way to get rid of Xu Qingyun.

Last time there were six people, this time there were double that number, twelve people came.

Kawano led the team personally, bringing people here in two batches. This time they have more people, so they have to prepare enough safe houses first. He is different from Takeda. Takeda asked everyone to find a safe house as a backup, but he came to find it himself.

Then distribute it to your subordinates.

Six safe houses are enough, with two people in each, without knowing each other.

As for him, he has absolute confidence in himself. Even if he is caught, he will never betray his own people, let alone the empire.

"Kawano-kun."

In the afternoon, after settling other subordinates, Kawano came to the house alone. The person who opened the door saw that it was him and immediately brought him in.

"Katsuyama-kun, how is your investigation going?"

After coming in, Kawano immediately asked, when Takeda first got into trouble, Aoki sent someone with money to Nanjing to investigate and find out the truth about what happened to them.

The one who came was Shengshan.

He is the captain of the intelligence team. This time he only brought one person with him, and that person is now outside inquiring about the situation.

During his stay in Nanjing for several days, Shengshan looked for several candidates.

But two of them have been ruled out, so he has no chance to take action. Now he is planning to incite the third person to defect.

This person is an ordinary employee of the Security Section of the Military Intelligence Department. His rank is not high, but the Security Section is responsible for gate guards and patrols, and they know a lot of things.

After persuading one person to defect, try to find ways to persuading more people to defect.

Shengshan targeted this person because his family was poor and had no money.

His salary is good, but his child once suffered a serious illness and now owes a lot of money. In order to pay off the debt, they live a hard life.

Normally, I rarely eat rice, let alone meat, and try to eat whole grains.

It's a good thing that he is short of money. Shengshan brought a lot of money this time, all dollars. By giving him the money and letting him get on the ship, he will be able to get more information from the Military Intelligence Department in the future.

These are the only methods the Japanese used to incite rebellion.

Bribery with money, seduction with beauty, and traps.

They didn't care what the method was, as long as it worked. They used these methods to incite many people to defect, including Li Liangwen from Tianjin Station and Lu Dawang from the Intelligence Department of the Headquarters.

There are many more people from all walks of life.

It can be said that these methods have been tried and tested and have always been effective.

"We already have a target. You guys take a rest first. I'll confirm the intelligence and send it to you right away."

Kawano is an operations officer, he is not responsible for intelligence.

The task of collecting intelligence fell on Shengshan, who arrived earlier and was more familiar with Nanjing than they were.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, but it has to be as soon as possible. The section chief said that we don't have time to wait and we have to get rid of Xu Qingyun within half a month."

"Don't worry, it won't take that long."

Katsuyama smiled and replied that his people had already instigated a relative of the target to defect, and were waiting for the relative to help them set a trap and get the security staff to take the money.

As long as he takes the money, he will obey my orders from now on.

The security guards were responsible for patrolling and guarding their positions. Shengshan brought a small camera so that he could take photos of Xu Qingyun. With the photos, they could monitor Xu Qingyun and look for the most suitable opportunity to attack.

He is not Takeda, and he will not let Kawano take action unless he is sure.

They will only move when they are sure they can kill the target.

This process won’t take much time, and Shengshan is confident.

"I'm waiting for good news from Katsuyama-kun."

Kawano left with satisfaction. It was Kawashima's order that he came to see Katsuyama today.

He is responsible for the operation, but Shengshan is the main person in charge of all matters in Nanjing.

Katsuyama is an intelligence agent and he has a heavier task.

This time they are carrying out a short-term mission, so even if the traitors they instigated are exposed, it will be fine as long as they can complete the mission.

From this point, it can be seen that Kawashima is indeed under a lot of pressure.

"Team leader, Shi Qingbin hasn't come out all day today."

When getting off work in the afternoon, Yan Ming came to report that Shi Qingbin was not an ordinary person. Xu Zhanjie gave the order to keep an eye on him and arrest him secretly.

Xu Qingyun assigned this task to Yan Ming, and asked Xiang Jiesheng to lead people to do the investigation work first.

"No rush, keep watching him, find the right opportunity, and arrest him immediately."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and said that this arrest was Xu Zhanjie's idea, not his order.

It was obviously a frame-up, but this time it was Shi Qingbin who broke the rules first and sent people to investigate him secretly.

Investigating him would be equivalent to touching Xu Zhanjie's reverse scale, otherwise it would not directly cost his life.

For Xu Zhanjie, there is no one more important than Xu Qingyun in the entire intelligence department.

In the evening, Xu Qingyun brought people to the train station.

"Qingyun, the Japanese will not let you go, you shouldn't come out."

Xu Qingshi was also there. His original intention was to pick them up himself, and Xu Qingyun would come to meet them tomorrow, but he didn't expect Xu Qingyun to insist on coming.

"It's okay, brother. I always go out in two cars now, and there are curtains on the cars, so they can't see me."

Xu Qingyun smiled. They were people from his hometown who came to help him. He would need these two people to do a lot of things in the future, so picking them up was no big deal.

"That won't work either. You haven't seen the cruelty of the Japanese spies with your own eyes. They will do anything to achieve their goals."

"Last time it was an emergency pursuit and they acted hastily. Next time they will probably use bombs directly. You must be careful."

Xu Qingshi shook his head. He already knew the details of the last assassination.

Fortunately, they acted in haste. If they had been truly prepared, they would have had a good chance of succeeding.

Xu Qingshi had dealt with the Japanese many times.

He personally experienced the chaos in Tianjin and saw with his own eyes those crazy Japanese wielding long swords and hacking and killing anyone they saw.

No matter whether they are men or women, young or old, anyone they see is their target.

All kinds of property were snatched up crazily.

That incident fully exposed the nature of the Japanese. Many Japanese would fight you to the death even if they were injured. They were more terrifying than ordinary bandits.

"Brother, don't worry, I know they will attack again, I have made preparations in advance."

"That's good. Be careful."

Seeing that his persuasion was effective, Xu Qingshi did not ask any more questions. Xu Qingyun had indeed made preparations. If the Japanese spies dared to come again, he would not give them the opportunity to attack him this time.

Xu Qingyun always had two cars when he went out, and in fact there was another one behind him.

Yan Ming personally arranged three smart people to drive behind and observe any suspicious situations.

Including the windows on both sides of the road, to see if anyone is following you or taking pictures.

Whenever any suspicious situation occurs, they will keep an eye on them.

They carried a miniature radio in the car and would immediately send a message to headquarters if they discovered any situation.

This miniature radio can run on batteries.

If there is a phone nearby, they will call directly, which is faster. The radio station is a precaution in case there is no way to make a phone call.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Qingyun can go out with peace of mind.

As soon as Xu Qingyun finished speaking, he saw a train slowly entering the station from a distance.

Both he and Xu Qingshi were qualified to drive the car directly into the platform.

"Master, Master."

The two men got out of the car carrying wooden suitcases. When they saw Xu Qingyun and the other man, they immediately walked over quickly.

They were wearing hats and took them off and bowed to the two men.

"Brother Xiangshun, Brother Fuzhong, you have worked hard."

Xu Qingshi stepped forward and shook hands with them. The two men were named Ma Xiangshun and Xu Fuzhong.

There are many people following the Xu family. During the wars in the past few years, some of these people died along with the predecessors of the Xu family.

Not all of these people have the surname Xu.

In addition to the Xu family members and those who changed their surnames to follow the Xu family, there are still many people who retain their own surnames.

This is the case with Ma Xiangshun.

Although his surname is not Xu, he grew up in the Xu family and has a very close relationship with the Xu family.

"Master, you are too kind. The train is very comfortable. We are sitting in second class and we are not tired at all."

Ma Xiangshun replied first, saying that he was older, thirty-five years old this year, and his son was already fifteen years old.

His son is a good student. If he is admitted to university, the Xu family will sponsor his studies and even spend money to find him a good job.

This kind of investment has existed for hundreds of years.

"Get in the car first, I'll take you to get something to eat."

Xu Qingshi said with a smile that sitting in a second-class seat was also tiring, it was not like he had not sat in one before.

Xu Erxi helped the two people move the suitcases. Xu Erxi drove the car, and the two people got into Xu Qingshi's car, while Xu Qingyun continued to sit in his own car.

He has bodyguards in his car and it can't accommodate so many people.

"Brother Fuzhong, I heard you can speak some English?"

Xu Qingyun took them to the Jinling Hotel, one of the best hotels in Nanjing. It was of high quality and naturally high prices.

When the two were brought in, they asked to change places, thinking that this place was too wasteful.

"I can speak a little. My family did some business with the English. At that time, the master asked me to learn for half a year. Now I can communicate in a simple way."

The Xu family is wealthy and powerful, and is the largest family in Haifeng. In addition to land, they also run some businesses.

There is a dyeing factory in Qingdao, and some stores and cloth shops in Tianjin.

This was also the reason why the Xu brothers all went to Tianjin.

"It's enough to be able to communicate simply. In the future, you should learn more and strive to be able to communicate with them normally."

Xu Fuzhong studied British English, which is slightly different from American English, but it is not difficult to learn if you have a solid foundation. Xu Qingyun did not ask him to learn it very well, as long as he could understand it.
