The Spy

Chapter 179 Let him disappear
At night, Xu Qingyun had already fallen asleep.

There are not so many entertainment options in this era, and many people go to bed early. Fang Laibao works overtime, and the deadline is three days. People working on the front line basically have no rest time.

"Ring ring ring."

The bedside phone rang. Xu Qingyun opened his eyes, turned on the light and picked up the receiver.

At the same time, I looked at the time. It was past midnight.

No matter who calls at this time, it must be something important.

"Team leader, I'm Fang Laibao, I found the insider."

Fang Laibao's voice came from the other end of the phone: Found it?
"Where are you?"

"I'm at the office. I just finished the interrogation."

Fang Laibao replied that he did not wait until the morning to report, as he had already captured the casino owner and brought him back to avoid being discovered by the casino staff, and notified Tan Xianglin.

If Luan Ziping escapes, he cannot bear the responsibility.

Luan Ziping is the deputy section chief of the Inspection Section, holding a high position of power. He is only the deputy team leader. If he wants to monitor Luan Ziping, he needs orders from above.

"I am coming over now."

Xu Qingyun hung up the phone, put on his clothes, and hurried back to the Military Intelligence Department with Zheng Jiming and others.

"Team Leader, when I was investigating Luan Ziping, I found out..."

In the office, Fang Laibao reported his investigation process in detail. After discovering that Luan Ziping's brother-in-law was abnormal, he immediately conducted an in-depth investigation and finally got the result from the casino owner.

He brought the casino owner's confession.

"Keep an eye on Luan Ziping's home immediately. Keep an eye on him 24 hours a day from now."

Xu Qingyun read the confession carefully and immediately gave the order. Fang Laibao hesitated a little and asked in a low voice: "Should we report to the section chief?"

Luan Ziping is the deputy chief of the Inspection Section, so monitoring him must be done with caution.

If Luan Ziping is an insider, no one can protect him. Fang Laibao is not worried about Luan Ziping, but the other people in the inspection department.

Especially the section chief.

The team leader's level is too low. Without orders from above, the deputy section chief will just monitor them if he says so. By then, I'm afraid they will have some ideas in their minds.

Fang Laibao has been working in the company for a long time and knows all the ins and outs here best.

Many times, an unintentional action may offend people.

"No, the teacher will announce to the public that it was he who gave the order."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. He understood that Fang Laibao meant well. If he and Xu Zhanjie did not have a master-disciple relationship, but were merely superiors and subordinates, he would definitely report first.

But with this relationship, he doesn't need to worry, Xu Zhanjie will definitely take the initiative to help him take care of everything.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao immediately accepted the order and took advantage of the big tree to enjoy the shade. The team leader and the section chief had a special relationship, so it was easier for him to do his job.

Xu Qingyun did not go home, but went to the prison to interrogate the casino owner again.

He asked in more detail, including when Tan Xianglin found him, what Tan Xianglin looked like, what benefits he gave him, etc.

Tan Xianglin's biggest mistake was that he did not kill him to silence him. However, even if he had killed him, once he became suspicious, he would definitely continue investigating. The money they gambled in the casino was seen by more than one person, so he would definitely be able to find out the result.

In the intelligence department, once a superior suspects you and there is sufficient reason, exposure is only a matter of time.

In the morning, as soon as Xu Zhanjie arrived at the office, Xu Qingyun walked in.

"Teacher, Fang Laibao made an important discovery yesterday..."

Xu Qingyun reported all the circumstances, including the results of his subsequent interrogation, which confirmed that the casino owner was threatened and used by Tan Xianglin, and then lured Luan Ziping's brother-in-law into a trap.

In order to save his sister, Luan Ziping sacrificed himself.

"Is he being watched?"

Before he finished listening, Xu Zhanjie asked immediately. He understood the importance of this matter. After catching the casino owner, he must keep an eye on him as soon as possible.

Luan Ziping's exposure means he has lost his value to the Party Affairs Investigation Office, but he is in a high position and has great power. If he escapes, he will also be attacked by the Party Affairs Investigation Office for this reason. The director is a man who values ​​face, and he will smash the face of anyone who makes him lose face.

"After Fang Laibao reported last night, I asked him to keep an eye on the person first."

Xu Qingyun nodded gently, and Xu Zhanjie stood up: "Just keep an eye on it, come with me to report to the director."

It took only two days to find out.

This is the result of Intelligence Group 4. I can take this opportunity to bring Xu Qingyun to report and let him show his face in front of the director more.

"Luan Ziping?"

When he heard the name they mentioned, the director was stunned. He did not expect that Luan Ziping was actually an informant of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

Luan Ziping was a talent he discovered personally, and he had high hopes for him.

Such a person actually betrayed him and sold out the secrets of the Military Intelligence Department?

The deputy chief of the inspection department knows a lot about the truth, especially some of their internal problems.

He was turned over a year ago. Doesn't that mean that many aspects of the Military Intelligence Department have been exposed by the Party Affairs Investigation Department?
Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.

"Deputy, we can confirm that the casino owner was indeed ordered by Tan Xianglin to set up a trap for his brother-in-law, but there is no evidence of his direct betrayal."

Xu Zhanjie lowered his head and said, while Chu Zuo was furious: "Is it difficult to provide evidence? He doesn't have much extra income, he just relies on his salary. If he doesn't have money in the bank, check his home and dig deep to find it. Also, lock him up immediately and be ready to interrogate him at any time."

Xu Zhanjie's heart sank, realizing that Luan Ziping was completely finished.

There is no direct evidence now, but the casino owner has confessed that Tan Xianglin’s purpose is to lure out Luan Ziping.

In addition to this leak, there are many suspicious points, such as Luan Ziping being an insider and his brother-in-law being fine.

Virgo didn't give Luan Ziping any chance now. Once he caught him, even if Luan Ziping stuck to his principles and didn't betray him and solved the problem of his sister in other ways, he would be finished.

Virgo will never use anyone who has been suspected by him again.

"Yes, arrest him immediately and interrogate him at any time."

Xu Zhanjie took the order, and Xu Qingyun got to see the stern side of this famous spy in history.

Luan Ziping came to work today, and Xu Zhanjie personally brought people to the inspection department.

If Virgo is talking about arresting someone, then we have to arrest them first and talk later.

"Chief Xu."

Luan Ziping was in the office. The door was opened and several people rushed in and held him down. Then Xu Zhanjie walked in.

He didn't bring Xu Qingyun with him when he arrested the man.

He did not consult the Inspection Department regarding the order from the Director, so the Inspection Department would definitely have some opinions.

If you have any opinions, go to him or the director. If you bring other people with you, the Inspection Department may easily hold a grudge against you.

"take away."

Xu Zhanjie took the man away without saying a word. The deputy chief of the inspection department was no small figure, and the entire inspection department was alarmed.

They didn't know what was going on and asked questions.

Before he even left the house, Wu Rongfu, head of the inspection department, chased him out.

"Chief Xu, what are you doing?"

Wu Rongfu didn't know about the leak, not even about their internal investigation.

He is an insider, so the investigation must be kept secret from him.

"Chief Wu, please ask the director. I can't tell you."

Xu Zhanjie shook his head slightly. He and Wu Rongfu had a pretty good relationship. In terms of ranking, Wu Rongfu was even higher than him, but in terms of real power, he was above Wu Rongfu.

The two of them usually had no conflicts, but unfortunately there were too many people at the scene and it was not suitable to explain, so Xu Zhanjie asked him to go directly to ask the director.

"it is good."

Wu Rongfu looked at him deeply, then looked at Luan Ziping.

Luan Ziping was not gagged, but he didn't say anything. Xu Zhanjie came to arrest him personally, letting him know that his secret was exposed.

"Walk."

Xu Zhanjie put the man in the cell, Xu Qingyun had already taken people to search the house, Luan Ziping's wife and children were all under control, and more than a dozen people were conducting a carpet search.

Luan Ziping is the deputy section chief and his living conditions are not bad.

After searching the house thoroughly, he found dozens of dollars in cash and some loose change, as well as some jewelry and two bank certificates of deposit from his wife.

There wasn't much money in the deposit certificate, just over a thousand dollars in total.

Luan Ziping's monthly salary is over a hundred yuan, so a savings of more than a thousand yuan is really nothing.

"Team leader, there is nothing found in the room."

Fang Laibao came to report. He personally led people to search the room, and carefully checked every corner, including the roof and walls.

"Check the yard thoroughly."

Xu Qingyun ordered that since Luan Ziping was such an important person, the bribe given to him by the Party Affairs Investigation Office could not be small.

His house has a yard, both front and back yards, and a back door.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao and his men began to search the yard, mainly checking the ground and the walls to see if the soil on the ground was old and whether there were any signs of digging.

Fang Laibao discovered something unusual next to a water pressure well in the backyard.

Not long after digging, they dug out a box. When they opened it, they found a layer of gold bars wrapped under the oilcloth.

There are more than thirty of them.

"Take them all away."

The money was dug up, which basically proved Luan Ziping's guilt. Unfortunately, the money was evidence of his guilt and could not go into his own pocket.

But if the money passes through their hands, you can definitely make some money.

"Master, Qingyun has found a large amount of gold bars, a total of 380 taels."

After receiving the call, Xu Zhanjie immediately reported to the director. Three hundred and eighty taels of gold was a lot for ordinary people, but it was nothing to them.

"Bring up the person, I will personally interrogate him."

The director stood up immediately and wanted to interrogate him personally this time. He was very kind to Luan Ziping and gave him a high position and generous salary after poaching him. The position of deputy section chief of the inspection department was not low anywhere.

Luan Ziping was not a secret agent, so it was not easy for him to be a stationmaster outside, but no one dared to offend him in the inspection department, and others would give him face when he was outside to avoid being targeted by the Military Intelligence Department.

Luan Ziping's betrayal was even more unacceptable to him.
Luan Ziping was brought to the interrogation room. He was the deputy section chief, and before he was completely convicted, the people in the interrogation department were quite polite to him.

"Virgo."

Seeing the person sitting in the middle, Luan Ziping was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

Now that Virgo was here in person, he no longer had any hope.

"Luan Ziping, how am I treating you?"

Chu Zuo took the initiative to ask, his tone was calm, but everyone could hear his suppressed anger.

"You have been so kind to me, and it is me who betrayed you. I deserve to die. I only ask that you let my family go."

Luan Ziping replied in a low voice. He did not resist and quickly confessed everything he had done.

Tan Xianglin controlled him through his sister.

They have a good relationship as siblings, and his sister has become his weak spot.

In order to save his sister, he was forced to work for the Party Affairs Investigation Office and provided intelligence more than a dozen times in a year.

In addition to the twenty gold bars given to him the first time, every time he provided information, Tan Xianglin would give him one or two gold bars as a reward. In a year, he accumulated a wealth of thirty-eight gold bars.

He originally planned to use this money to establish himself abroad, but unfortunately he no longer has the opportunity.

Virgo didn't say anything, but from the rise and fall of his chest, it could be seen that he was indeed very angry.

If it was an ordinary person who betrayed him, perhaps he wouldn't be so angry.

He didn't expect that such an important person as the deputy section chief of the Inspection Section could be instigated by the Party Affairs Investigation Office and become their spy. He couldn't control his anger.

Luan Ziping confessed very thoroughly, recounting all the information he had leaked, including this time. However, this time he did not just leak it. Instead, he gave the information to the Party Affairs Investigation Office after Xie Shengnan was arrested.

In order to protect him, the Party Affairs Investigation Office deliberately waited for a while before leaking the information to the public.

Unfortunately, none of them knew that Xie Shengnan's radio station was in the hands of Xu Qingyun. The matter had always been classified as top secret and had not been spread. After the matter was exposed, those who knew about it were immediately included in the investigation.

In this way, Luan Ziping was exposed.

If it were made public, Luan Ziping's identity would not be discovered.

"Release his family and give him some respect."

The director stood up. Luan Ziping was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to stand up, he was held down by the person next to him.

"Thank you, Virgo."

He could only bow his head and thank him. The director didn't even look at him and left directly. The so-called decency was to let him go peacefully without suffering.

He was executed without being tortured.

As for his family, Chuzuo really didn't intend to kill them, but he did it on purpose to show others.

He will not easily forgive the families of the traitors, but will use them in useful places and make their deaths worthwhile.

"Arrest Chai Zhenyuan immediately."

After coming out, Xu Zhanjie immediately issued an order that Luan Ziping had been instigated to rebel and Chai Zhenyuan was the culprit.

Chai Zhenyuan is doomed to die.

No one could save him this time.

There is also the casino owner. They have the same ending. They set a trap to incite the military intelligence department to defect. Damn it.

"Yes."

Xu Qingyun accepted the order. The case was solved by Fang Laibao, so the job of arresting the person was given to him.

Fang Laibao made a great contribution this time, but this kind of contribution will not be reported, and even Luan Ziping's death will be treated as an accident.

The appearance of a traitor within the organization is a disgrace to the intelligence department and no one will publicize it.

The Party Affairs Investigation Department would not do that either. It would be against the rules for them to try to incite the Military Intelligence Department to defect, and if they told others about it, they would be asking for trouble.

Although you won't be able to report your achievements, being remembered by the Director is more effective than reporting your achievements.

Especially Fang Laibao, Xu Qingyun mentioned him specifically in his report this time.

Now Fang Laibao's name has been remembered by the director. It is not easy for a deputy team leader to be remembered by the director.

Outside the city, Aoki hurried into a room with a serious expression.

He had been in Nanjing for two days. For safety reasons, he did not live in the city but rented a house outside the city. He disguised himself every day and went into the city to check the situation.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Several people had already met with accidents, but they had continued to pass messages to Shanghai, leading them to mistakenly believe that these people were still safe.

"Send a telegram to Shanghai immediately. It has been confirmed that observers No. 5 and No. 6 have been in trouble, and the tea group has been in trouble."

Aoki gave the order quickly, then poured a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

While his men were sending messages, Aoki was sitting nearby in a daze. He had only been there for two days and had not yet finished screening all the undercover personnel, but he had already discovered so many problems.

After all the observations were completed, I didn’t know how many people had been caught and betrayed.

With so many people in trouble, the section chief was the first to be affected.

But he couldn't escape the blame either. With such a huge loss, how could they explain it to the headquarters and the chief section chief?
The chief section chief had specifically handed Nanjing over to them because Nanjing was very important. It was the capital of the Kuomintang, and the intelligence here was related to the future. Now that the loss was so huge, the chief section chief was not someone who was easy to talk to. Once he was blamed, the section chief would definitely be in trouble.

If the section chief is in trouble, it means he will be in trouble too.

In Shanghai, the secretary delivered the latest telegram to Kawashima's office.

After reading the telegram, he first doubted its authenticity. How could so many people get into trouble, and there were two observers among them?
There is no intersection between the observers and the hidden agents, and they don't even know where the hidden agents are.

After reading the telegram again, Kawashima sat there in a daze. The telegram was real. Aoki would not lie about such a thing, and it was even more impossible for the Chinese to tell him on their own initiative.

Besides, Aoki will return immediately after verification. Sending the message now is to remind him to make arrangements immediately to avoid further losses.

"Observer?"

Kawashima looked at the telegram again and found that all the teams near the two observers who had the accident had been arrested, as well as the team that had been arrested before. At this time, he had realized the mistakes in his arrangement.

Although the observer does not know where the lurking personnel are, his arrangement has the responsibility to remind them, and through this, the range can be locked.

But how did the Chinese find the observers?

The fact that Xu Qingyun could read footprints has always been a secret. Luan Ziping was not aware of it, and Xie Shengnan was even less aware of it.

Even if he racked his brains, he would never have guessed that Xu Qingyun used both footprints and portraits to find the two observers.

Yan Ming is still looking for the remaining one, but has not found it yet.

There are too many people in Nanjing, and many of them look like the portraits. If they hadn't been able to check the footprints, it would have been difficult for them to find even these two.

"Immediately give orders to the observers and have them all move to another place to lie dormant."

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "It is better to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost." Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the observers may very well be a point of breakthrough for the Chinese, and we must respond.

The so-called hibernation means that they should find a reason to leave Nanjing and hide.

If it is confirmed that it is not an observer issue, let them return to Nanjing.

As for other hidden teams, they cannot move now.

It is not easy to stay undercover, and we cannot withdraw them just because of the danger. The chief will be the first one who will not agree to it. If he dares to do so, he will not be dismissed but executed.

"Hay."

The secretary took the order and left. As a secretary, he knew a lot of secrets of the Shanghai Special High Section, but the way to give orders to the observers was not in his hands, so Aoki had to do it.

Aoki could do it by sending a telegram to the intelligence team after receiving the order.

Upon receiving the order, Aoki immediately sent a message by radio to notify all observers to lie in wait.

He also guessed the same questions that Kawashima could think of.

Only if something happens to the observer will so many people be implicated. It is indeed not suitable for the observer to continue staying in Nanjing now. He should lie low first and make arrangements based on the situation in the future.

If it doesn't work, withdraw them all.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office's retaliation did cause Xu Qingyun a lot of trouble.

In the east of the city, Xu Qingshi was sitting in his office.

Dou Yingchun came to report to him and gave him some filial gifts.

After taking down the sheriff, he gave Xu Qingshi two thousand dollars. To be honest, two thousand dollars for a sheriff position was a bargain. This sheriff made more than that in a year.

The main reason why Dou Yingchun didn't have that much money was that he used to be a deputy sheriff and was suppressed by the sheriff, so he couldn't get many benefits. The two thousand dollars was all his savings.

Today he sent another two hundred dollars.

This was his harvest in the past month. He understood how he became the sheriff and he had to hold on to Xu Qingshi, otherwise he might be removed at any time.

In his first month as sheriff, he received nearly six hundred dollars in tribute.

He only gave two hundred, not intentionally giving less.

Because he had just become the chief of police, some people sent him more gifts for the first time, mainly to congratulate him. Later, there would be less gifts. He estimated that he would have an income of about 400 oceans per month, and he would give 200 to Xu Qingshi, which was half of it.

This number is reasonable.

"Is there nothing happened recently?"

Xu Qingshi took the money and asked casually. Dou Yingchun immediately lowered her head and said, "Nothing happened. It's just that the owner of the Weiwu Casino has changed. It's a pity that they are not in our area."

There are six sheriffs in the east of the city, divided into six parts.

Xu Qingshi has only two police chiefs under him, and the two with the most money and the richest ones are all in the hands of the chief.

There are the most gambling houses in the east of the city, and the Weiwu Casino is right here.

"The boss has changed?"

Xu Qingshi raised his head. Casino owners are powerful people and generally will not be replaced. After all, few people are willing to give up such a profitable industry.

"I don't know exactly what happened. If you want to know, I'll check it out right away."

Xu Qingshi looked at him and nodded slowly: "Ask, we can't just guard these two places, everyone wants a good place, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood. I'll go right away."

Dou Yingchun was delighted and nodded vigorously. The director wanted to continue to develop, expand his influence and territory, and maybe even squeeze out the director to become a regular employee.

If Xu Qingshi becomes a regular employee, he, as the first person to join Xu Qingshi, will definitely get great benefits.

For example, changing the location.

The boss of the Weiwu Casino was changed, and I heard that he gave a full one thousand dollars. The police chief in charge of their area paid three hundred dollars, and the director paid seven hundred dollars.

In addition, we will pay at least two hundred yuan every month as a tribute to the sheriff, and there will definitely be some more from the director.

If he occupied a place like this, he could earn two hundred dollars a month from the gambling house alone.

There is not just one gambling house there, there are several.

These few companies can bring him a monthly income of over a thousand.

It's much better than his current place.

In the whole of Nanjing, their branch in the east of the city is the best, and within the east of the city, that area is the best and is also recognized as the most lucrative place.

It would be his good fortune to become the sheriff of that area.

Dou Yingchun was very proactive. The police were well-informed, so he didn't need to ask directly. He just asked his men to find out the reason.

"Director, I heard that the original owner of the Weiwu Casino was arrested, and then the casino was confiscated and later sold to the current owner."

The gambling house owner who was involved in the Party Affairs Investigation Department's attempt to instigate Luan Ziping's rebellion has been secretly executed, and all his properties have naturally been confiscated.

Yan Ming was in charge of the house search and all the cash was confiscated. The gambling house was a dead object and difficult to sell, so it was handed over to the general affairs department.

"Caught by whom?"

Xu Qingshi asked, casinos are usually under the responsibility of their police, but the casino owners are powerful people, let alone ordinary police officers, even a deputy director like him cannot act against them at will.

He knew that the biggest backer behind the Weiwu Casino was the deputy director of their general bureau.

"I'm not sure, how about I go ask again?"

Dou Yingchun was stunned. He really didn’t know who arrested him, but it was definitely not them or the General Administration.

"No need to ask, just go out first."

Xu Qingshi shook his head. Apart from the police, there were not many people who could arrest the Weiwu Casino. After arresting him, they would directly confiscate all his properties and even sell the casino to others. There were even fewer people like that.

It's impossible for the tax department, and even less for the military.

Apart from them, there are only a few departments left, the most likely ones are the Military Intelligence Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

These two spy departments are extremely ruthless, and arresting people and ransacking their homes are their basic operations.

"Qingyun, are you free?"

Thinking about the last time Xu Qingyun helped him but Xu Qingshi hadn't expressed any gratitude, he simply called him.

He meant that he was not sending money, the two of them had not separated and were still a family.

He hasn't thanked me in person yet.

"Yes, brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's go see Sanming today."

Xu Qingshi used Sanming as an excuse. Little Sanming has been very obedient recently and has been studying very hard. His grades were average when he first transferred to the school, but now he is top of the class.

You will soon be number one in the grade.

Although they only have a few classes in one grade.

"Okay, I'll pick you up after get off work."

Xu Qingyun agreed immediately and hung up the phone. Xu Qingshi was thoughtful.

He wanted to compete for the position of director, and Xu Qingyun was his best helper. His younger brother was smart, had real power in the Military Intelligence Department, and was a hot figure in the Department.

But he couldn't just let Xu Qingyun take over the police department, transfer the chief away, and make him the new chief.

Even if he could do that, there would be endless troubles. The entire police system would exclude him, and once something happened, he would be attacked by everyone.

The Military Intelligence Department is not the only one in power, there is also their arch-rival, the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Even he had heard about the recent events in these two departments. A gunfight was so big that many people knew about it.

The conflict between the two departments was completely exposed to everyone.

"Brother, get in the car."

After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Qingyun's motorcade arrived at the police station on time and saw Xu Qingshi waiting for him outside.

The Japanese bounty order is still there, and every time Xu Qingyun goes out, there are always many people following him. This is an order given by the director himself.

Except for those who are busy with the case, people from the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department are now searching for the killer from Shanghai.

As long as anyone from Shanghai comes and doesn't look like a good person, they will arrest him immediately.

More than a dozen have been arrested, and six of them have been confirmed to be hooligans.

Others had regular jobs and were able to explain clearly why they came to Nanjing. Those with no issues with their identities were released directly, while those who could not explain clearly were severely tortured.

Soon they confessed that they wanted to assassinate Xu Qingyun for the bounty.

They didn't even know what Xu Qingyun looked like, yet they dared to come here. They really only care about money and not their lives.

The six people suffered extremely miserable fates. After their identities were confirmed, they were directly taken away to train new recruits and were asked to kill people.

These people are all gangsters, and they do all kinds of evil things. Each of them has killed people. Those who dare not kill people will not come to Nanjing to commit assassinations.

They are all scum.

Keeping them would be a waste of food, so it would be best to kill them. Not only that, but their bodies would also be publicly hung outside the city to warn those who want to assassinate them for the reward that they should not come here alive, and they would return dead.

Xu Qingshi got in the car. He knew Xu Qingyun's recent situation. The reward was public, and they were also aware of it.

Xu Qingyun should bring more people with him when he goes out.

If he doesn't take him, Xu Qingshi will ask his hometown for a few guards to come and protect his brother.

"Brother Qingshi, Brother Qingyun."

Xu Sanming was doing his homework. When he saw the two people coming in, he immediately ran out.

He seems to have grown a little taller.

Before, the Japanese spies were not sincere to him, and the food he ate was not good and the nutrition was not enough. After he came to the Xu family, he was never treated badly. Not only did he have meat to eat every day, but he had meat at least once a week, and he also had eggs and other food to eat at school.

Not only has he grown taller, he's also gained some weight, and his complexion has become much rounder.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Xu Qingyun asked with a smile, and Xu Sanming immediately shook his head: "Not yet, I'll continue writing now."

Xiao Sanming ran back skipping and jumping. He was much happier during this period.

"Master, Master, I'll ask the restaurant to send the food over."

Xu Erxi lowered his head and said that knowing that the two of them were coming, he had booked a table of food at the restaurant in advance.

Zheng Jiming followed him and imitated Yan Ming's behavior, asking the restaurant staff to taste the dishes first. Only after the dishes were ok did he dare to send them to Xu Qingyun to eat.

"Qingyun, thank you for last time."

Xu Qingshi took the initiative to raise his glass. There were not many people at the table, only the Xu brothers, Xu Erxi, Xu Sanming and Fang Laibao.

Zheng Jiming was outside and was responsible for the alert with everyone.

"You are my brother."

Xu Qingyun didn't say much, just these few words made his meaning clear.

The two brothers are a family, and Xu Qingshi’s affairs are his affairs.

They ate very quickly. Xu Sanming was the first to finish his meal. Xu Erxi took him away, and Fang Laibao also tactfully went outside.

They saw that the brothers had something to say.

"Qingyun, I want to be the director as soon as possible."

There were only two of them left, and Xu Qingshi did not hesitate. He wanted to become the director so that he could gain more power and find the organization.

"Brother, what are your plans?"

Xu Qingyun asked proactively. He knew his brother and since he said that, he must have his own thoughts.

"There are six police chiefs in the east city, and I now have two of them. Next, I plan to take action against the Logistics Department and the Personnel Department, replace these two department chiefs with my people, and then take over the two districts with the most money. In this way, I will become the most useful person in the branch office."

Logistics is responsible for money, and personnel is responsible for people. These two departments are the most important. Together with the two districts, more than two-thirds of the power of the entire branch is in Xu Qingshi's hands.

He can indeed sideline the director, and after that, it will be much easier to squeeze him out.

"What do you need me to do?"

Xu Qingyun asked directly. He knew something about the situation of the branch, but not as clearly as Xu Qingshi.

"The head of the logistics department is Ding Chengsen's brother-in-law, so he must be removed immediately. As for the head of the personnel department, I know he has done some dirty things, so I can force him to work for me."

The Logistics Department has a lot of money, so Ding Chengsen gave it to his own people. The Personnel Department is also full of people who have always followed him, but after all, there is no such relationship.

Get hold of his weakness and make him work for you secretly.

In this way, Xu Qingshi can indirectly control the personnel department.

"I have a way with the Personnel Department. Ding Chengsen's brother-in-law is greedy and lustful. I can start from this aspect, but there will definitely be someone above to protect him. I want no one to be able to protect him, or dare to protect him..."

Xu Qingshi told his plan, which was not complicated.

The head of the personnel department first let him secretly join him and become his spy. The head of the personnel department was 51 years old, and his son was lazy and had an affair with a few gangsters.

Because his father is in the police station, he is not afraid of anything and dares to do anything.

Xu Qingshi has already got hold of something important on him, and it’s a very important one.

It is not difficult to persuade him to defect. Behind the handle is the bribe. If he does not surrender, his whole family will be ruined. The Xu family is not without background. On the contrary, its background is much stronger than that of Director Ding Chengsen.

The most important one is Xu Qingyun, who is now a celebrity in the Military Intelligence Department.

Ding Chengsen's brother-in-law is greedy for money and dares to take any money. Xu Qingshi plans to set a trap for him so that something happens to the money he has embezzled and the higher-ups can't protect him.

But this is not enough. Even if his brother-in-law is withdrawn or even imprisoned, Ding Chengsen can still arrange his own people.

Xu Qingshi plans to find a backer in the police department, and he has already chosen the person.

Director Ma Changfeng.

The Xu family has no relationship with Ma Changfeng, but Xu Zhanjie does. If Xu Zhanjie helps to introduce him and Xu Qingshi takes the initiative to give him some money, he can get close to this powerful person.

"I understand. Don't worry, there won't be any problem with Ma Changfeng. I will help you with it."

There was nothing wrong with Xu Qingshi's plan. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the police station and move up in the ranks, he really needed someone above him.

Ma Changfeng is the most suitable candidate.

"cheers."

Xu Qingshi didn't bother to be polite with him, and the two brothers clinked glasses of wine again.

"Your brother wants to join Ma Changfeng?"

The next morning, Xu Qingyun went to find Xu Zhanjie. After hearing his purpose, Xu Zhanjie was a little surprised.

But he was not surprised. Xu Qingshi was transferred from Tianjin and was an outsider. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Nanjing, he really needed support from his superiors.

The Military Intelligence Department can help him, but after all, the Military Intelligence Department does not belong to the police system, so there is a limit to what it can do.

"Teacher, please help me introduce you."

"It's no problem to introduce him. Lao Ma will give me this honor."

Xu Qingshi changed his allegiance and joined Ma Changfeng.

But Wang Jiansheng is no longer in the police system, so Xu Qingshi is not considered a betrayer. Moreover, Wang Jiansheng had told them before he left that if there is a suitable development, they should find a new backer as soon as possible.

"Thank you teacher."

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to thank him. Since his brother had joined Ma Changfeng, he would definitely prepare a generous gift. Money would not work, gold bars would have to be given.

And it cannot be less. My brother doesn’t have much money, but Xu Qingyun has some.

The money that my family sent me last time has not been used up.

Besides, the money in the family originally belonged to the two brothers, not to Xu Qingyun alone.

In the evening, Xu Zhanjie asked Ma Changfeng out. Things went very smoothly. Ma Changfeng accepted twenty gold bars from Xu Qingshi, and Xu Qingshi officially became his man from then on.

As for Xu Zhanjie, he also got the benefit of ten gold bars this time.

Although he is Teacher Xu Qingyun, he still needs to give all the benefits he deserves.

In Shanghai, Aoki came to Kawashima's office.

He looked tired. In the past few days, he had been running around Nanjing every day to determine the situation of their people. He had to go to many places every day and had to disguise himself well to avoid being discovered by the Chinese.

He cannot bring anyone with him and cannot let others know about the situation of the hidden agent.

For safety reasons, he didn't even bring a gun, only some money to deal with emergencies.

"Section Chief, I have confirmed that three liaison officers in Nanjing have had problems, and another team has been secretly captured. We have suffered heavy losses."

Aoki said with his head down, full of heartache.

Kawashima was in more pain than him. There were three groups in total. They had finally managed to lurk in Nanjing, and each of them had invested a lot of time and money.

One of the groups was arranged by his predecessor, but it was lost in his hands.

"All observers please withdraw."

Three observers were in trouble and all three groups were killed. The loss was so great that Kawashima could not bear it.

Now he is sure that it was the observer who made the mistake first and exposed the hidden personnel.

Aoki conducted an investigation in Nanjing and found out that someone had inquired about all the residences near the undercover personnel. He checked based on the time they arrived in Nanjing. They arrived at the same time as the observers. Combined with other characteristics, it was normal for them to be found out.

"Yes."

Aoki kept his head down. If the observers came back, they would not be able to keep track of the situation of the hidden group at any time.

But now there are huge risks with the observers and they must be withdrawn.

"Section Chief, how are we going to report this to headquarters?"

With the loss of three teams, three observers, and most importantly, the mountain ghost hiding in the Military Intelligence Department, as well as two operational losses, if the headquarters knew about it, Kawashima's position as section chief would probably be over.

"Don't report it for now. Arrange two teams to go into Nanjing and hide there. Let them gain a foothold in Nanjing first, and then find a way to collect intelligence."

Kawashima shook his head. It was definitely impossible to report it. Once he did, he would be recalled to the headquarters tomorrow to be punished.

Deploy new hidden teams to replace previous losses.

But lurking is not that easy. You need to settle down in Nanjing first, then find a suitable thing to cover up, and finally instigate the mole to collect intelligence for them.

It will take at least three months for a latent group to really achieve results.

There is a powerful opponent in Nanjing now, and it may take even half a year for intelligence to be transmitted back.

This period will cost a lot of money.

"Yes, I'll prepare it right away."

Aoki understood that there was no good solution at the moment, and this was the section chief's helpless response.

"And Xu Qingyun, we must get rid of him as soon as possible. Send a telegram to the Hangzhou Special High Section and ask them to find a way to help us get Xu Qingyun's photo. If the assassination is successful, it will be credited to both of us."

Kawashima continued, and Aoki suddenly raised his head.

He understood that the section chief was preparing to compromise, or bow to the old man in the south.

This is a huge humiliation for the section chief.

"What if they don't cooperate?"

Aoki asked in a low voice, and Kawashima's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "If you don't cooperate, make him disappear."

If he can’t kill Xu Qingyun, can he still not assassinate Nanbu?

As soon as Nanbu died, he immediately arranged for Aoki to take over the Hangzhou Special High Section, so that he could do the same for him at that time.

For the sake of his own future, Kawashima no longer cares about so many things.

He even dared to do something as simple as assassinating his colleagues.

"Hay."

Qingmu's heart sank, realizing that the section chief had been forced into a corner with no way out and had to kill Xu Qingyun to complete the task assigned by the chief section chief.

All their recent losses were caused by Xu Qingyun. Killing him is equivalent to revenge for themselves. If this man is not killed, they will be more passive in the future and may even suffer more losses.
