The Spy

Chapter 180 He is not suitable

In the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou, intelligence team leader Seiji Oda came to the section chief's office with a telegram.

"Chief, this is a call from the Shanghai Special High Section."

Datian handed the telegram in his hand to Nanbu. The Shanghai Special High Section was their superior guidance department, but Nanbu was determined to make the Hangzhou Special High Section independent and not be under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Special High Section. He had never been very obedient to the orders of the Shanghai Special High Section.

After reading the telegram, Nanbu smiled and threw it aside: "Call Shanghai back, we will do our best to get the photos."

"Yes, Chief."

Looking at Nanbu's expression, Datian understood that the section chief was just trying to get by. They needed to reply to the telegram from the Shanghai Special High Section, otherwise they would be disrespecting their superiors.

After returning the call, they did what they were supposed to do. At most, they just pretended to do it and didn't give the Shanghai Special High Section any handle.

The weather in Nanjing was getting hotter and hotter. Yan Ming had stopped investigating the case personally and asked his men to go out and find the last observer.

They had received orders via the radio for the observers to lie dormant.

The Japanese eventually found out about Xie Shengnan's arrest and started to patch things up.

This is the trouble brought to them by the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

The person Yan Ming is looking for may have already left Shanghai.

But the search will not stop, especially if there is someone who looks similar and has left recently, he may be the Japanese spy they are looking for.

There's hope of finding footprints to confirm it, either through his home or somewhere else.

Even if no footprints are found, it is possible to confirm whether he is a Japanese spy by investigating his identity.

The most important purpose of finding a person who has left is to use him to identify hidden Japanese spies.

The hidden Japanese spies are not observers, and they will not easily evacuate until they are sure they have been exposed.

Outside the city, Xu Qingyun looked at the twenty people in front of him.

Twenty new members.

Although the new team members have various problems, they are indeed good seedlings with good abilities.

"I know that many of you are the chosen ones, proud and conceited, but to be honest, based on your previous performance, I can only give you an average evaluation."

"After a year of professional training, you were asked to find three dead mailboxes, but you only found one. I am really disappointed."

Xu Qingyun looked at the twenty new team members, and sure enough, some of them had a look of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Having been at the headquarters for such a long time, they had heard to some extent about how powerful their team leader was, but they had never seen him with their own eyes. In their opinion, the Japanese were not that difficult to catch, and they might be able to do better.

"What do you want to say?"

Noticing their expressions, Xu Qingyun pointed at one of them and asked.

"Reporting to the team leader, the dead mailbox that Team Leader Fang set up is too insidious. It is normal that you can't find it. We can also set up such a dead mailbox so that you can't find it."

The team member replied loudly and Xu Qingyun smiled.

Fang Laibao laughed even more happily, and even Yan Ming couldn't help shaking his head. They were like newborn calves that were not afraid of tigers, and they really didn't know how powerful their team leader was.

"What about you? Do you think the same as him?"

Xu Qingyun did not reply and asked others.

"Replying to the team leader, I think the same as him."

"Me too."

Several people said this. Xu Qingyun looked at them. A total of five people stood up.

The rest were not mentioned, including the three girls.

"If you have any ideas, just speak up. You can raise them as you like now."

Xu Qingyun spoke again. The others did not move. They were still the same five people. The initial performance of these five people was average. They usually showed unwillingness to accept the consequences. If they were in the army, they would be considered as troublemakers.

"Since you haven't mentioned it now, you are not allowed to mention it again in the future. After you join the army, you must obey my orders absolutely. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished by military law."

Xu Qingyun said calmly that they were given a chance, but they didn't say anything.

As for the remaining five people, Xu Qingyun will give them another chance.

However, the possibility of them seizing this opportunity is very slim.

"You five, step out."

The five people who came up with the idea took a step forward together.

"There is a town next to this forest. With the town as the center, within a three-mile radius, I allow you to set up dead letter boxes. Each person can make one. Make the most perfect dead letter box you think, but the time is limited. It is now nine o'clock in the morning, and you only have three hours."

"In three hours, I will come to look for your dead mailboxes. There are five dead mailboxes. Whoever's dead mailbox I don't find before tonight, I will recognize him as an elite, make him the captain, and reward him with two hundred dollars."

"But whoever's dead mailbox I find, get out of Intelligence Group 4."

Xu Qingyun's tone suddenly became stern. Intelligence Group 4 needed elites, but not troublemakers.

Fang Laibao sighed secretly in his heart. All twenty people were actually good, and these five were not bad either. If possible, he would like to keep all of them.

But since the team leader said so, they no longer have the possibility of staying in Intelligence Group 4.

There was no way they could hide what they had arranged from the team leader.

"Team Leader, are you serious?"

He was the first person to speak, and he looked at Xu Qingyun with a little disbelief.

"Of course." Xu Qingyun nodded.

"Okay, we'll go there now, but you need a car to take us to town."

"Okay, Yan Ming, you drive them there and come back right away. We'll go there after noon."

Xu Qingyun agreed immediately, and Yan Ming drove a car and personally took them to the town. The town was only four or five miles away and they arrived soon.

"Everyone rest here. I will take you there after noon."

Yan Ming left, and Xu Qingyun gave an order that the five people had basically been eliminated from the fourth intelligence group. Not only the fourth group, but the other three groups would not want them either.

The best outcome is to go to a branch station.

However, the most likely possibility is to go to the sub-station operations team.

There have been such arrogant people before, but they were sent to a remote operation team with basically no possibility of being transferred back to the headquarters.

"Yes, team leader."

The rest of the people answered honestly that these fifteen were smart people and at least they did not make the wrong choice.

"Team leader, I'm back."

Not long after, Yan Ming returned. He sent the five people to the town. Then he went back without even looking at them.

They are so arrogant that they even dare to challenge the team leader. This time I will let them know that there are always people better than you.

Apart from anything else, as long as they leave any trace, there's no way they can hide it from the team leader.

"We don't need Team 3 for now in Intelligence Group 4. Pick some people to fill in your Team 1 first. I'll ask Zuo Jinfang to pick more when we get back."

There are three teams in one intelligence group. Xu Qingyun originally planned to promote a captain from the new members. Unfortunately, none of the people who came in before were particularly outstanding, and none of the new members satisfied him, so he simply dispersed them into two teams.

In the future, when suitable people are found, they will be promoted to captains and the three teams will be separated out.

"Yes, team leader."

Yan Ming took the order. He knew that Zuo Jinfang was the first person to follow the team leader and was also a member of the team leader's family.

He did not select all the best students. He only selected one of the three female students, but she was the best one.

The three hours passed quickly, and Xu Qingyun got up after twelve o'clock.

"Let's go."

Everyone got in the car, and when the convoy arrived at the entrance of the town, they saw five people standing there waiting for them.

"Is it ready?"

Xu Qingyun got out of the car to inquire. Zheng Jiming was still on guard. Yan Ming and Fang Laibao followed behind Xu Qingyun.

"It's all set up."

The five of them nodded together, very confident. Although they only had three hours, three hours was enough to make a dead mailbox.

They just need to put the things into the dead mailbox. If Xu Qingyun finds the things, he wins; if he can't find them, he loses.

Although Xu Qingyun had to search until night, which was more than twice as long as them, there were five of them and only one Xu Qingyun. To find the dead mailboxes of five of them, this little extra time was nothing.

The five people had no objection to this.

"Let's go."

Xu Qingyun walked in front. There were people in the town, and Zheng Jiming walked in the front, but he deliberately avoided the fresh footprints on the ground so that the team leader could see them.

The town is not big, with only a few hundred households and two main streets in the shape of a cross.

Xu Qingyun restricted the area they were given to within a three-mile radius of the town, including outside the town.

As he was walking, Xu Qingyun suddenly stopped and looked at the shop next to him.

This is a grocery store and the things inside are very messy.

Xu Qingyun walked straight in.

"Boss, what would you like to order?"

The shop owner came out carefully to greet them. There were so many of them, all of them were tall and strong with bulging waists, and they looked like important people at first glance.

“Are there many people coming into your store today?”

Xu Qingyun asked casually. There was footprint of a team member coming out from inside, proving that he had been in. Xu Qingyun did not restrict the location of the dead mailbox for them, but it had to meet the characteristics of the dead mailbox.

In other words, they can't leave their things lying around.

For example, throwing it on the roof where it cannot be reached normally, or throwing it in a place where everyone can see it and can be picked up by anyone.

However, they can use a trick and place the intelligence in the cargo.

This seemed to be a violation of the regulations, after all, the goods could be bought by anyone, but Xu Qingyun could think of their reasons.

There are only a few types. The low-level ones are hidden behind the goods. As long as they are well concealed, they can pretend to be customers and take away the information.

The more clever ones would put it inside some seldom-sold goods. The person who wants to obtain the intelligence just happens to need this kind of goods, so he can buy it and take away the intelligence.

"Yes, there are many customers in this shop."

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and looked at the person behind Xu Qingyun while speaking.

He came in this morning.

"You guys wait for me outside."

Xu Qingyun walked in by himself. There was no need to look at the things displayed outside. The intelligence could not be placed here. What he paid attention to was whether there were any traces of their footprints on the ground, and any signs of the movement of goods.

The store is not small. The rent of shops outside the city is not that expensive, and most shops are bigger.

There are a lot of things in the front and a lot of goods piled up in the back.

Brooms, hoes, dustpans, buckets, and even basins and jars for rice are all available here.

Xu Qingyun walked inside and found a footprint.

Someone was tiptoeing here and taking the things from above.

Xu Qingyun was quite tall, so he could reach it without tiptoeing. There was a row of large bowls on it, and there was a gap on the shelf behind the large bowls.

Opening the bowl, Xu Qingyun hooked out a white piece of paper from the gap.

A piece of paper from the Military Intelligence Department with four words written on it.

This was the information they had agreed upon in advance.

With the note, Xu Qingyun walked out and threw it directly to one of the people outside.

The team member who received the note turned pale immediately. He had been searching for the whole morning and he thought this grocery store was the most suitable location for the dead mailbox. He put the things in the gap between the shelves. He had carefully observed the shelves beforehand and found that the shelves were a covered earth wall structure, which meant that they would not be easily demolished.

Completely meets the dead letter box characteristics.

He never expected that the arrangement that he thought was perfect was found for him as soon as the team leader arrived. How did the team leader do it?
The other fifteen people were even more shocked. How did the team leader know that he was the one who released the information and gave it to him directly?
"It looks good, but it's actually full of loopholes. The dead mailbox must be able to retrieve information 24 hours a day to deal with emergencies. If you set it up in someone's store, what will happen at night? What if the store is closed?"

After coming out, Xu Qingyun whispered that he was talking about that team member, but he was actually teaching everyone.

After saying that, Xu Qingyun continued to walk forward. Fang Laibao, Yan Ming and the others were fine as they had long known that their team leader was powerful. However, the eyes of the fifteen new team members widened.

They didn't even know where the dead mailbox was, yet they were found?
How did the team leader know that someone had put the information in the grocery store, and found the information so quickly and accurately, and even knew whose dead mailbox it was?
Could it be that the team leader has been sending people to follow them?

This is not possible. Only Captain Yan Ming had gone out before and came back soon. They have been together all the time. The fifteen people know it best. The team leader has not had contact with any other irrelevant people. It is impossible for someone to monitor him and tell him.

The person who was found lowered his head, did not dare to speak, and followed obediently behind.

Xu Qingyun quickly walked to the center of the intersection and suddenly looked to the side.

Some team members sat next to the corner. As it is a crossroads, there are many people here, and there are various stalls on the corner.

Xu Qingyun walked over directly.

"My friend, did anyone put anything here just now?"

Xu Qingyun asked the street vendors first, and while asking the questions he took out a cigarette and handed one to them.

If the intelligence you release is seen by others, you will automatically be judged as a loser.

"Thank you, boss. No one is putting anything there."

Those who took the cigarettes bowed their heads to express their gratitude. Xu Qingyun glanced at the team member, walked to the wall, looked at it carefully, and soon found something wrong with a brick. He walked forward and knocked on it slowly.

The team member's face turned pale.

This time everyone saw it clearly. Xu Qingyun pulled out the brick and took out a white piece of paper with four words written on it.

Xu Qingyun threw it to the man whose face turned pale.

The others were even more shocked. How could the team leader know that there was information here and who put it there?
Especially those fifteen people, when they saw that the person who received the information didn't say anything, they understood that the team leader not only found the place, but also found the right people.

How long has it been?

It had been only a dozen minutes since they entered the town, most of which had been spent walking, and the team leader had already found two dead mailboxes.

And the layout of these two dead letter boxes is very clever.

Although the first one has flaws, it is indeed not easy to be thought of in a grocery store.

The second one was even more rare because it was carried out in a crowded place, under the noses of so many people, without being seen.

They did an excellent job, but were still found by the team leader so quickly. Finding them is even harder than hiding people.

It only means that the team leader is much stronger than them.

Just by finding two dead mailboxes, many people were convinced of Xu Qingyun.

After finding this out, Xu Qingyun continued to move forward.

Everyone followed him and walked through the intersection. Xu Qingyun did not find any place they had been to, nor any signs of them having stopped.

The remaining three people most likely placed the dead mailbox outside the town.

Don't be afraid outside. As long as there are traces, Xu Qingyun will be able to find them.

He started looking in one direction and soon came to a dry well outside the town.

Someone squatted here.

Pulling aside the weeds, Xu Qingyun found another piece of white paper with the word "four" written on it from under the edge of the well.

The third dead mailbox.

Someone lowered his head. He didn't expect that even though he placed the dead mailbox outside the town, he still couldn't hide it from the team leader.

After finding three, many people no longer held out hope for the remaining two. According to the team leader's speed, they would be found soon, although they had no idea how the team leader did it.

An hour later, Xu Qingyun found another dead mailbox outside the town in another direction.

There is one left.

"interesting."

While tracing the last person's footprints, Xu Qingyun suddenly discovered that he had dealt with his own footprints after leaving the town.

He was the only one who dealt with his own footprints.

The roads in the town were all dirt roads. It hadn't rained in the past few days, so the ground was covered with dry dust. It was easy to leave footprints when walking on it. He used leaves to wipe away his footprints.

The footprints are gone, but the marks of leaves are left behind.

Unless he flew over, he would definitely leave traces as long as he passed by.

Even if you take a car, you will leave traces of the car.

Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry and walked slowly. There were no footprints, so Xu Qingyun could not tell whether he stopped or not. He would observe carefully wherever there were footprints.

It mainly depends on whether there are other traces left by him nearby.

About a mile out of the town, there is a pavilion.

Normally, a gazebo is a suitable place to place a dead mailbox.

Xu Qingyun walked to the pavilion, took a look and smiled. This man was a little smart, but not enough. He did not enter the pavilion, nor did he stay around the pavilion. The traces of leaves showed that he passed by the pavilion.

Xu Qingyun walked towards the back of the pavilion and saw a big rock not far away.

There are no traces in front of the big rock.

Behind the stone, Xu Qingyun dug up a few stones and took out a small box, which contained a piece of white paper.

Xu Qingyun found all five dead mailboxes.

"Team Leader, it's 2:47 now."

Yan Ming said loudly, two hours and forty-seven minutes was the time Xu Qingyun took from the time he set out to the time he found all the dead mailboxes.

It was even shorter than the three hours they had arranged, and it wasn't even evening yet.

"Are you convinced?"

There was no one else here, Xu Qingyun asked directly, the five of you looked at each other, and then looked at the other students.

On the way, they secretly asked their classmates whether the team leader had sent anyone to follow them.

The fact that their dead mailbox was found so quickly at first made them instinctively suspect that the team leader was cheating and deliberately sent an expert to track them, but they just didn't notice it.

But the answer they got shocked them.

Their fifteen classmates stayed with the group leader the whole time. The group leader did not send anyone and had no contact with other people.

Indeed, the team leader figured out everything himself.

"Team leader, we are convinced."

One of them lowered his head and replied, "It's impossible not to accept it. This is how the team leader was able to find the things they had carefully hidden one after another. There is really nothing to say."

"Go back. We will reassign you wherever you want."

Xu Qingyun said softly. He had told the five people before that if they were found, they would not be left in Intelligence Group 4. "Team Leader, I know I was wrong. I don't want to go anywhere else. Can you let me follow you? I will absolutely obey your orders in the future."

Someone suddenly said, and Xu Qingyun shook his head: "It's too late. When you made the decision before, you should have realized that you can't get into Intelligence Group 4. If you have connections, make your move as soon as possible."

After saying this, Xu Qingyun left. There was no way he would want five more people. This was what he said in public and he would not change it.

The remaining fifteen people have officially become his team members.

The five people wanted to admit their mistakes and beg for mercy, but were stopped by Fang Laibao.

He knew the team leader's temper. Since he had said he didn't want them, there was no way he would keep them.

But the team leader did not send them to exile. If they had connections and took action earlier, they might be able to go to a better place.

Xu Zhanjie soon learned what happened to Intelligence Group 4 outside the city.

He did not arrange any spies around Xu Qingyun, but there were many people present today, and Xu Qingyun did not issue a gag order, so the news could easily get out.

Xu Qingyun can read footprints, and in his eyes, the dead mailboxes set up by these people are useless.

As for those five people, Xu Qingyun was right. Such people could not enter his intelligence department.

The veteran members of Group 4 also heard about it and admired their team leader even more.

They had long been convinced by Xu Qingyun.

They had only received special training and were not as proud as those trained in Hangzhou. Xu Qingyun led them to solve many cases and caught one Japanese spy after another.

Moreover, Xu Qingyun was very good to them. They were lucky to be able to follow such a leader.

As time passed, Xu Qingshi successfully made the head of the personnel department his own.

The head of the logistics department was also successfully trapped by him.

This guy is really brave. Not only did he dare to steal some important materials seized by the police, he also sold them.

These materials are all smuggled goods. The other things are not a big deal, but there are sensitive items among them, such as radio accessories.

After these things are sold, they can be assembled into radio transmitters in the hands of interested people.

After the incident came to light, Ding Chengsen naturally wanted to protect his brother-in-law. However, the order from the department came very quickly, and before the order could be implemented, the inspector took his brother-in-law away directly.

Caught by the hall, his brother-in-law had no chance of escaping this time.

Everything was planned by Xu Qingshi, even the smuggling was a trap set by him.

He hired the people, he bought the things, and he found the goods, but he just ran away.

The reason for bringing these sensitive accessories was to allow Ding Chengsen's brother-in-law to steal and sell them.

These things cannot be seen in public and will definitely be sold on the black market.

Xu Qingshi knew very well how much the organization needed these things. He could not contact the organization now, so he could only find ways to help the organization in this way and obtain some resources that were difficult to obtain under normal circumstances.

As long as the organization has money, it can buy these things.

Although it's a bit expensive, it's better than nothing.

This time he spent a lot of money, but he achieved two birds with one stone. If he could get in touch with the organization, he would definitely not use this method.

Xu Qingyun knew about Xu Qingshi's plan at the beginning. Not only did he not object, he also helped him improve it.

No one can save Ding Chengsen's brother-in-law from reselling sensitive materials or confiscated items.

In the east of the city, in the conference room, Ding Chengsen had a gloomy face and stared at Xu Qingshi fiercely.

He understood that this was a trap set up deliberately by Xu Qingshi. The smuggled goods were the ones investigated by Xu Qingshi and stored in the warehouse, deliberately giving his brother-in-law such an opportunity.

He was also angry at his brother-in-law, who dared to take anything and this time took himself in.

"Everyone knows about Zhai Hongyu's case. He broke the law knowingly. Even though he is my brother-in-law, I will not protect him this time."

Ding Chengsen spoke first. Dou Yingchun and Xu Erxi were both there. Their branch was holding a meeting today, and all section chiefs and police chiefs were attending.

Dou Yingchun was very excited at this moment.

Chief Xu took action against Chief Ding. He did not expect Chief Xu to be so ruthless. He targeted Zhai Hongyu right away, who was Ding Chengsen's brother-in-law and the person he trusted most in the police station.

Ding Chengsen said it nicely. The reason we didn't protect him was because we couldn't.

When the hall came to arrest someone, someone from above had said that Zhai Hongyu had committed a serious crime and no one could or dared to bail him out.

Not sending him to another department for investigation was already a favor to him.

Who does he want to provide these supplies to by selling these things on the black market?
"The director is wise."

Several of Ding Chengsen's men spoke up. Ding Chengsen glanced at Xu Qingshi and continued, "Zhai Hongyu has brought this upon himself. Someone must guard the Logistics Department. This is a very important department of ours. Now I announce that Jiao Zong will take over as the head of the Logistics Department."

Jiao Zong is Ding Chengsen's man, but he is not related to him. Since his brother-in-law was arrested, he must support his own people to come to the logistics department.

"Thank you, Director..."

Jiao Zong was overjoyed and immediately stood up to thank him. He was the deputy chief of police and was qualified to attend the meeting today, but he sat outside the conference table.

Only the section chief and the chief of police were allowed at the conference table.

"Director, Jiao Zong is not suitable."

Xu Qingshi suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiao Zong's words. Jiao Zong was stunned for a moment, and then anger appeared in his eyes.

"How do you know he's not suitable?"

Ding Chengsen slammed the table. Xu Qingshi was now openly going against him. Not only that, he was also using underhanded tactics to frame his brother-in-law.

The two are enemies, not friends, so there is no need for him to save face for Xu Qingshi.

"Jiao Zong, do you know where the Shibali River is?"

Xu Qingshi ignored Ding Chengsen and asked Jiao Zong. Jiao Zong was slightly startled and his heart tightened.

Of course he knew Shibali River. Half a year ago, he accidentally killed someone and buried him secretly there.

He thought no one knew about this, so how did Xu Qingshi mention that place?

The key point is that the person he beat to death has a certain background. If their family knew about it, he would be finished soon and Ding Chengsen would not be able to save him.

"Do you know?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Qingshi suddenly raised his voice. Jiao Zong shook his body and hurriedly replied, "Yes, I know."

"Do you think you are suitable to be the head of the logistics department?"

Xu Qingshi continued to ask, and no one else said anything, including Ding Chengsen. Everyone could see that something was wrong.

But they didn't know what was going on.

"Not suitable, I am not suitable."

Jiao Zong hurriedly shook his head, and Xu Qingshi looked at Ding Chengsen. Jiao Zong had already refused himself, and now it depended on what Ding Chengsen would do.

Ding Chengsen looked at Jiao Zong fiercely. Jiao Zong said this in front of everyone, which was tantamount to betraying him.

"Director Xu, who do you think is suitable?"

Ding Chengsen asked through gritted teeth, Xu Qingshi smiled slightly and said softly: "I think Lin Baisheng is good."

Lin Baisheng was brought by Xu Qingshi from Tianjin. He is now Xu Erxi's deputy and deputy chief of police.

He is qualified to take over as section chief.

"I don't think he's suitable."

Ding Chengsen slammed the table again. Xu Qingshi openly snatched his logistics department, and he was almost furious.

"Director, there's a call for you."

Just as he finished speaking, the secretary ran in. Ding Chengsen turned around and angrily shouted, "Didn't you see that we are in a meeting?"

"Director, Director Hou is calling."

The secretary whispered a reminder that Director Hou was the director of the General Administration and their direct superior.

"Just wait."

Ding Chengsen was stunned for a moment. He had to answer the call, so he stood up and left angrily.

Xu Qingshi sat there, motionless.

Jiao Zong, on the other hand, was a little restless.

The others rolled their eyes, each thinking about something.

Since Xu Qingshi was determined to seize the position of director, it was impossible for him to have no preparation beforehand.

Being the logistics section chief is just the first step.

He could control Jiao Zong secretly, but that would not be beneficial to his future plans. Not only Jiao Zong, but also several of Ding Chengsen's people were held hostage by him.

No matter who Ding Chengsen promotes, he will not get what he wants.

But exposing Jiao Zong to the public and letting him give up on his own can prove his power and secondly, prevent Ding Chengsen's people from acting rashly.

Everyone has his share of dirty deeds these days. It is obvious that Jiao Zong is in his control. If others want to follow Ding Chengsen all the way, they should first consider whether they will become the second brother-in-law of Ding Chengsen.

"Director, Lin Baisheng is not suitable. We must not let him be the head of the logistics department."

Ding Chengsen, who had just answered the phone, was quickly shocked. The director of the general administration called to interfere with their internal appointments.

And he specifically appointed Lin Baixing as the head of the logistics department.

"My words are of no use to you, are they?"

Director Hou sounded unhappy. Ding Chengsen was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "That's not what I meant..."

"I don't care what you mean, execute it immediately, this is an order."

Director Hou didn't give him a chance to react and hung up the phone directly. Ding Chengsen's face turned blue and white.

Xu Qingshi, an outsider, actually influenced the director of the general bureau?
He has the power to appoint section chiefs, but he needs approval from the General Administration. Director Hou has made it so clear that if Lin Baisheng is not appointed, no one else will be approved.

This time he was defeated miserably and was severely suppressed by Xu Qingshi.

"Lin Baisheng, you will be the head of the logistics department."

Back in the conference room, Ding Chengsen didn't even sit down. He left after announcing the appointment. Everyone stayed there. The director went out to answer a phone call and announced the appointment when he came back?

Ding Chengsen didn't dare to offend Director Hou and could only swallow his anger.

Xu Qingshi then stood up and left with a smile.

Xu Erxi, Dou Yingchun and other people left together, while the others stayed where they were, looking at each other.

Everyone understood that things were going to change in their bureau.

No one expected that Director Xu from Tianjin would be so powerful, and this time he completely suppressed the director.

It was obvious that the director was defeated by Xu Qingshi and lost, otherwise he would not have announced such an appointment.

After returning to the office, Jiao Zong came here soon. He didn't know how much Xu Qingshi knew, but he understood that after betraying Ding Chengsen today, he could only rely on Xu Qingshi to save himself.

Ding Chengsen will definitely take action against him.

Xu Qingshi accepted Jiao Zong's surrender. Jiao Zong was originally a model he had openly set up to undermine Ding Chengsen's power.

There is only one Jiao Zong now, and more Jiao Zongs will come later.

Three days later, Xiao Wu came to Secretary Huang, but Secretary Huang's clinic was closed and he was at home.

"Secretary Huang, everything has been assembled. We have assembled two new transmitters, and there are several parts that can be replaced."

Xiao Wu was very happy. The environment was difficult. The entire Nanjing underground organization now had only one radio station, and it was an old one with low power. It could only contact Shanghai, Wuhan and other places.

It won’t work any further away.

The organization is now in the northwest. They don't have a high-power radio and have no way to communicate.

"Great."

Secretary Huang was very happy. Although it was just a radio transmitter, at least it could send out useful things in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, the transmitter could not receive the signal, but they could use the radio as a receiver and still receive the signal.

"It's just too expensive. It cost a lot of money."

Xiao Wu smacked his lips. They bought these things from the black market. After discovering these things on the black market, Secretary Huang did not hesitate and directly ordered to buy them.

No matter how much money it is, I must get it at any cost.

They lack this kind of communication tool.

"Money spent can be earned again. These things are very important and can save lives at critical moments."

Secretary Huang replied with a smile. He seemed very optimistic. He was very surprised to get such an important thing this time.

With two more radios, they not only had a backup, but could also support comrades in other places in the future.

"You're right. These things really can't be bought with money. I wonder which idiot sold them."

Xiao Wu smiled. The things they bought this time were an unexpected gain for them, and a big gain at that.

"What's the current situation at the Party Affairs Investigation Office?"

Secretary Huang asked, and Xiao Wu smiled even more: "They seem to have stopped. They can't investigate any further. The more they investigate, the more people will run away."

Xiao Wu was right, the Party Affairs Investigation Office had indeed stopped its investigation into Xuanwu Park.

Only about ten people ran away before. As they conducted a deeper investigation, many of the people who were questioned were scared and left secretly.

The more you don't let them leave, the less they dare to stay.

The main reason is that the spies have a very bad reputation, the kind that can scare a crying child to stop crying.

Zhuo An's investigation into the people who left was at a stalemate.

There are too many people leaving, and it’s not easy to check any of them.

He only had so many people, and finally he reported the matter to Tan Xianglin, but had no choice but to give up.

"That's good. It looks like Lao Liang is safe now. Now that he has completed his studies, we can let him come back."

Secretary Huang breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Liang had rich work experience and he didn't want Lao Liang to leave. He had no choice but to let him go to Shanghai to hide.

At this time, Lao Liang was walking on the streets of Shanghai.

This largest and most prosperous city in the East, which has always belonged to China, is now in a semi-colonial state.

Westerners and Japanese occupied a large area here and made it their territory.

It was also named the Concession.

Although it is called a concession, Chinese people entering the concession have to undergo strict inspection. Within the concession, the Chinese have no sovereignty and everything depends on the faces of foreigners. The concession is truly a foreign territory.

This is a shame for all Chinese people.

After walking for a while, Lao Liang stopped and looked at the roadside.

Across the street is a business with a fairly large storefront. The words "Xu Ji" are written on the sign.

This is the French Concession, and there are bustling shops on both sides of the road.

Ma Xiangshun was in the store. He was the shopkeeper and was responsible for daily sales. The method given by the young master was very good. Their goods were sold very quickly and they have now recovered their investment.

Their warehouses are also emptying quickly.

According to the time, Xu Fuzhong will soon arrive in the United States. He has already contacted the young master and is preparing to send Xu Fuzhong some money via ocean remittance so that he can import more goods.

Their goods are never hard to sell.

Lao Liang just took a few glances and then left.

The rich may live in luxury while the poor may freeze to death on the streets. This has been the case in every era. Only the Red Party's ideas can change all this. Only the Red Party can truly lead the Chinese people towards prosperity.

He was convinced of this.

"Team leader, we found a suspect. He didn't give up the house when he left. I took a photo of his footprints, but they are not clear."

At the Military Intelligence Department, Yan Ming came to Xu Qingyun's office to report that his men had been looking for the last observer. Today, they found out that he had left Nanjing after being notified by the Japanese.

"Go to his house and have a look."

It takes time to develop photos, and Xu Qingyun doesn't want to wait. This is the only clue he has to find the Japanese spy.

Previously, several cases were being conducted simultaneously, but after being disrupted by the Party Affairs Investigation Office, now only this observer who left is left to investigate.

"Yes."

Yan Ming took the order and took Xu Qingyun to the scene.

There is some dust in the house, and the lease has not expired yet, so the landlord has not come to take possession of the house.

The interior layout has been protected by Yan Ming and has not been changed.

There were footprints on the ground, and just as Yan Ming said, they were very faint and not very clear.

The clear footprints can allow Xu Qingyun to find more clues, but at this time he only needs to determine whether the person living here is a Japanese spy who called, and he doesn't need to find out too much.

After a careful comparison, Xu Qingyun smiled.

It's him.

Finally, they found the person with the injured knee.

The footprints of people who have suffered a knee injury are a little different from those of normal people, and only true experts can see this.

"Team leader, is it him?"

Noticing Xu Qingyun's expression, Yan Ming immediately asked.

"That's right. Find out who he is and what he does. Find out where he often goes. Also, check everyone within a three-kilometer radius."

It is three kilometers in radius, which is not a small area and many people live there.

Xu Qingyun defined this range based on the tasks that the other three observers were responsible for.

The areas they are responsible for emergency notifications are all within three kilometers of where they live.

The investigation is troublesome and slow, but as long as you know the scope, you can always find the person.

The main reason is that Nanjing has too many people.

Xu Qingyun did not conduct a comprehensive search of the entire city. First, there were too many people, and second, he was not sure about the exact time when the Japanese arrived in Nanjing.

Having an observer is like setting a time for them.

Don't underestimate this time range, it can help them screen out a lot of people.

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

"Let Jin Fang help you investigate and find the person as soon as possible."

Xu Qingyun ordered that the whole team should act together this time, first find the people, and then keep an eye on them until they pass on the information.
