The Spy

Chapter 188 It's really a second
Xu Qingyun's mind worked quickly. Time was running out, so he didn't think of doing something stupid to rescue the person. The person was locked up in the prison of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. He was the only one there. Even if Xu Qingshi and Xu Erxi were included, it would be impossible for them to break into the prison and rescue the person.

It is so difficult to save people, almost impossible.

What Xu Qingyun is thinking about now is not saving people, but saving his life first. Only when he is alive there is hope.

Fang Laibao came back very quickly.

He went to meet Tong Changhai. This time the information was important, so as instructed, he gave Tong Changhai a gold bar.

There are too many oceans, it is inconvenient to carry, and they are very heavy.

Besides, oceans are not as eye-catching as gold bars. Although gold bars are small, holding a heavy gold bar in the palm of your hand gives you a much greater sense of security than oceans.

Both men and women like gold.

This gold bar really made Tong Changhai extremely excited. He immediately said that he would bring his elder brother to meet them tomorrow and help persuade his elder brother to work for them.

Tong Changhai farms at home.

Moreover, the few acres of land were bought for him by his eldest brother, and the harvest from these lands was not much. Fortunately, he did not have that many children, so the family could barely get enough to eat.

The eldest brother would give some money to his younger brothers and sisters every year, not much, about two dollars per family per month on average.

The main purpose is to improve their daily lives.

An honest man who had never had much money in his hands for many years was suddenly given several hundred dollars, and now a whole gold bar.

In an instant, Tong Changhai felt like he had become rich overnight.

He only has one thought now.

Is it possible to make money this way?
Tong Changhai doesn't think so much now. He only cares about making money. He does whatever he is asked to do and has never considered the serious consequences of doing so.

"Make an appointment with him tomorrow. Don't be too anxious."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said that he could not show his thoughts, at least he could not let others see anything unusual.

"Don't worry, Team Leader. I've explained everything."

Fang Laibao nodded. Tong Changming had been in the Party Affairs Investigation Office for many years and he had noticed something unusual. It was possible that he would not be able to trick him out, which would only cause more trouble.

It may even lead to mission failure.

"You go back first."

After asking Fang Laibao to leave, Xu Qingyun stood up and slowly walked to the door of Xu Zhanjie's office.

After tidying up his clothes and finally organizing his thoughts, Xu Qingyun knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xu Zhanjie's voice came from inside. He was doing nothing else at the moment but waiting for news from Xu Qingyun.

The director attaches great importance to this matter, and Xu Zhanjie has treated this task as a top priority.

"Teacher, Fang Laibao has made an agreement with Tong Changhai. He will bring Tong Changming out tomorrow when he is free."

Xu Qingyun whispered, and Xu Zhanjie suddenly smiled: "Okay, that's great."

We will meet tomorrow, formally instigate Tong Changming to rebel, and then let Tong Changming kill someone, so that his position in Chu Zuo's heart will be more stable.

"Teacher, I think we can make use of this Red Party member to do something."

Xu Qingyun suddenly said, and Xu Zhanjie immediately looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Smart people are all the same. Xu Qingyun also thought of this. He guessed that Xu Qingyun had this idea before, but he didn't have the chance to speak in front of Chu Zuo.

"Tell me."

Xu Zhanjie sat up straight and asked Xu Qingyun to explain it in detail to see if it was the same as what they thought.

"At first I thought we should arrest him. As long as we catch him, we can put a foot on Old Ghost Xu. The Director will definitely be happy with it. But this method is not advisable. It will bring great danger to Tong Changming."

Xu Qingyun said softly, and Xu Zhanjie nodded slightly. Great minds think alike. In fact, he had thought so at first.

"Go on."

There was no problem with Xu Qingyun's consideration. Like them, he was now looking forward to seeing whether Xu Qingyun would express the same idea as Chuzuo.

"This man has been subjected to the electric chair. It is almost impossible to persuade him to surrender. We also have such people. They are too stubborn and conventional punishments are completely ineffective. We have encountered such people here. You should have an impression of them."

Xu Qingyun deliberately changed the subject, and Xu Zhanjie really took the bait: "You're right, how is Kawada now?"

Xu Zhanjie agreed with Xu Qingyun's words very much. They captured so many Japanese spies, and two of them never surrendered.

One was an operative from the Hangzhou Special High Section, who is already dead. The remaining one is Hetian, who was brought by Xu Qingyun from Tianjin. He is still being held by them, but his sentence has been reduced. If they continue to torture him, he will most likely become mentally ill.

What they want is Kawada's surrender, not a madman.

"It's the same as always. If you can't find their weaknesses when dealing with people like this, there's almost no chance of success."

Xu Qingyun sighed and shook his head slightly. He caught the person but failed to make him speak. It was actually a failure.

Xu Qingyun used Hetian to hint to Xu Zhanjie that it was impossible for the Red Party member to confess.

"Let's not talk about him first, and then tell me what you think."

Xu Zhanjie finally realized that the topic had gone off track and corrected it immediately.

"Why does the Generalissimo care so much about the Red Party? He would rather watch the Japanese watching closely than destroy them first. The reason is that their mentality is too terrifying, and there are too many people who are not afraid of death."

"Until the Red Party confesses, Xu Laogui will not be considered victorious. If he does not confess, it will always be a problem for Xu Laogui."

"If, I say if, we add some information and make the chairman think that this person has very important information, information that can make the chairman excited, but Xu Laogui can't produce it, what do you think of Xu Laogui?"

Xu Qingyun's words made Xu Zhanjie stunned. He thought Xu Qingyun would be like them, thinking about killing people and making life difficult for Xu Laogui, but he didn't expect that he put forward a completely different point of view.

Xu Qingyun was right. If the Red Party did not confess, it would be trouble for Old Ghost Xu.

But this trouble is small. After all, we caught someone, which is considered a meritorious service. There are more than one person whose mouths could not be pried open.

But if he really has important information and Xu Laogui can't produce it, that's not a merit but a fault, or even a serious fault.

Looking at his expression, Xu Qingyun realized that the plan was half effective.

He considers the issue from the perspective of Virgo, which is simply to maximize benefits and what to do to be more beneficial to them.

Killing is simple, but the effect is average. It is not a big loss for Xu Laogui. A Red Party member who fails to speak will die. It has happened before that some people who refused to speak were executed by them.

But if this silent Red Party member makes Xu Laogui very uncomfortable, that would be the biggest victory for them.

"Go on."

Xu Zhanjie was indeed moved and asked proactively. Xu Qingyun immediately said, "Our case can be handled in many places, such as Anhui Province. We found an important clue during the investigation. This clue points to the arrested Red Party member. It happens that there is a major secret in the clue. Teacher, what do you think the chairman will think?"

"A clue?" Xu Zhanjie was a little suspicious.

"That's right. Clues are clues and facts are facts. They don't need to be too clear. The more vague the better."

Xu Qingyun smiled, and Xu Zhanjie's eyes suddenly lit up. He understood what Xu Qingyun meant.

When intelligence departments investigate cases, the intelligence is not always so detailed. Sometimes the clues are vague or even very unclear.

Such clues are likely to be wrong in the end.

They deliberately made an uncertain clue, then conducted an investigation and reported it to the old man. The old man would not care whether the clue was vague or not, he would definitely ask for the truth and the so-called important confidential information. The old man did not want the process, but the result.

Since Old Ghost Xu couldn’t produce the money, one can imagine what the days ahead will be like.

The clues are not clear. Even if the Red Party finally speaks up and finds out that he is ignorant of the matter, the old man will not blame them.

In this way, there would be no risk of error. Not only would he be safe, but he would also be able to deal the greatest blow to Old Ghost Xu.

"What is our reason for investigating?"

Xu Zhanjie immediately asked the key question. Xu Qingyun was prepared and laughed: "This is easy. We are investigating a traitor case. We can just find a suspect whose hometown is in Anhui Province. It is best to first find out where the Red Party was arrested, and then we can go there in the name of investigating the traitor."

"Wonderful."

Xu Zhanjie's eyes lit up. Yes, they were investigating the traitors in the Transportation Bureau and Yayi Department. The old man knew this.

And it was the old man who ordered a thorough investigation.

With this reason, even if Xu Laogui knew that they went to Anhui Province, he could do nothing. The Military Intelligence Department discovered the problem when it was investigating its own case, and the Red Party had already been arrested by the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

I guess Old Ghost Xu would be glad that they caught the man first.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that this was a trap set for him. He would be in trouble if he couldn't get the so-called important secret.

"The plan is feasible. I will go see the director right away. You go back first."

Xu Qingyun’s plan was better than the one he had discussed with the director before. Now if he wanted to make any changes, he had to report to the director.

"is teacher."

Xu Qingyun lowered his head and left. He realized that his guess was right. Chu Zuo and Xu Zhanjie just wanted to kill people.

If we change the plan now, it is naturally impossible to let Tong Changming kill anyone again.

Not killing is only the first step. First, save the lives of comrades, then there will be the possibility of rescue.

As long as you survive, there will always be a chance.

The comrade has just been tortured, and Old Ghost Xu will not be able to continue torturing him in the short term, so there is no need to worry about this comrade suffering for the time being.

"Director, Qingyun just reported that they have completed the process. I will meet with Tong Changming tomorrow."

Xu Zhanjie came to the office and reported individually. The director nodded slightly: "So fast, good work."

"Qingyun and you have the same idea and are planning to use this incident to attack Xu Laogui. His idea is this..."

Xu Zhanjie did not say that their previous method was not good. He directly relayed Xu Qingyun's report verbatim. The more the director listened, the brighter his eyes became. This method was good. It did not require killing anyone and could also make Old Ghost Xu uncomfortable.

Before, he thought killing was a good idea, but now, killing is only a medium strategy, which is the best strategy.

"Qingyun is indeed a talented person. Okay, let's do as he says, but add one more thing, that is, this Red Party member knows where the headquarters of their Southeast Guerrillas is."

The director immediately gave the order. At this moment they did have a very good reason. The case they were handling was a serious case that the old man knew about and was keeping an eye on.

During the investigation process, it is completely normal to go to other places to investigate the situation.

If they encounter the Red Party, they will definitely investigate.

There is no need to arrest anyone, just to find out some clues.

Xu Qingyun has already given a method.

They found the Red Party's whereabouts and immediately continued to investigate. They discovered that the Red Party was very anxious and said that an important member of theirs was missing and that this person had important information about the whereabouts of the Red Party's bigwigs.

Virgo felt that the big shots were not safe, so he added the name of a command center.

This big shot is at the command center, so there is no conflict.

The Red Party had guerrillas not only in Anhui Province, but also in the southeastern provinces. There were quite a few of them. The old man had to deal with them in the mountains or in the countryside, which gave him a headache.

Transportation in the mountains is poor, and the Red Party has a mass base, so their people will be discovered before they even arrive.

Fewer people went there, because they were sending weapons to the Red Party.

There were many people going there, so the Red Party moved away immediately. They only had those few belongings, so they could just take them away with ease.

With so many people eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, it was impossible to keep them trapped in the mountains forever, so we had to retreat in the end.

But it would be different if we found their headquarters. Once we caught the big shot, they would lose command and would be easier to deal with.

If they could be made to surrender, even more guerrillas could be eliminated.

The old man absolutely cannot resist this temptation.

Of course, the information is false, and the old man is destined to fail to achieve his wish, but he will not know that this is false information, and the only one who will be unlucky is Old Ghost Xu.

There are not many people who know about it, only three. Even Tong Changming won’t know about it this time, so it’s safer.

It will be absolutely safe if Xu Qingyun does it personally.

Without evidence, the old man would not touch him, let alone Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun is not without someone behind him. He already knows that the old man has personally verified it with Mr. Chen from Nanyang, and Mr. Chen even spoke for Xu Qingyun.

With this relationship in place, they can rest easy this time.

"Yes, Virgo."

Seeing that the director agreed, Xu Zhanjie smiled and left with his head down. Qingyun was still a man of many ideas, and this method was indeed good.

After Xu Zhanjie left, the director chuckled and shook his head.

Xu Laogui is having a hard time. Once they report this information, Xu Laogui will not end well.

The Red Party surrendered, and he didn't know what was going on. It would be useless even if he looked for the old man.

What the Military Intelligence Department found out was that someone was missing, but they had no idea who it was and had never confirmed it. What they wanted to investigate was the Red Party members arrested by the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

It is entirely possible that the person they found was not the same person arrested by Xu Laogui.

In this case, the old man would even order Xu Laogui to catch this person.

He wanted to see how Xu Laogui would catch a person who didn't exist at all.

The Red Party refused to surrender and refused to confess, which resulted in an even worse outcome. The person was in their hands, but no information could be obtained from him. It was because Xu Laogui was incompetent, and he had a greater responsibility.

No one is at a disadvantage, it’s wonderful, really wonderful.

The more he thought about it, the happier Virgo became. In a good mood, he went to the window and stood there, admiring the view outside. He was very much looking forward to the next development and wanted to see how Xu Laogui would be frustrated.

Xu Zhanjie still went to meet Tong Changming in person.

He couldn't cancel the plan just because Xu Qingyun gave a better suggestion. With Xu Qingyun's intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess the reason.

Perhaps Xu Qingyun had already guessed that their approach was not good, so he gave more appropriate suggestions.

Qingyun is really good and very smart.

Xu Zhanjie would not take the initiative to reveal it. If he knew, he would know. It didn’t matter. He was his student. There was no need to do that now. The matter was equivalent to not existing.
