The Spy

Chapter 193 A Bit Stingy
"The information Yunong obtained is very important. They have already focused on investigating it, but you have more experience in dealing with the Red Party. You will investigate the missing person."

The old man said slowly that this information was too important and that the Party Investigation Office should be involved.

You can participate, but you must not interfere with each other. He had explained the importance of this before and asked the Military Intelligence Department to only be responsible for tracking down the Red Party member they discovered and not to interfere with anything else.

Avoid both parties tripping each other up and affecting the mission.

"Commissioner, there's no need to investigate. We've already caught the person."

Old Ghost Xu shouted in surprise that they had just captured a Red Party member from Chuzhou who was very tough. Now they finally knew the reason.

It turned out that he was an important figure in the Red Party, so he refused to speak.

Surprise, huge surprise, Xu Laogui felt like a pie fell from the sky.

Unfortunately, this is not a pie, but a trap.

"What, you've already caught someone?"

The old man was stunned. When did the Party Affairs Investigation Office catch this important Red Party member?
"Commissioner, this is the case..."

Old Ghost Xu immediately explained and told the story of how they had captured a Red Party member in Chuzhou a few days ago. It was a coincidence. This Red Party member was a very good person and was willing to help others, but among the people he helped there was a greedy person.

They kept asking him to borrow money, but the Red Party found out that he was lazy and only wanted money, so they refused to help him anymore.

This person went to school when he was young and knew a few words.

He held a grudge and reported that the people who helped him were Red Party members.

This person is not very good, but he is very smart. He knows the current situation and went to the Party Affairs Investigation Office to report it instead of the police.

But they don’t have anyone from the Party Affairs Investigation Office locally.

He wrote a letter and sent it to the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

This letter also went through many twists and turns. He did not know the address of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, so he simply wrote to the Nanjing government. The person who received the letter saw that it was a letter reporting the Red Party and directly forwarded it to the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

The letter forwarded by the government soon reached Tan Xianglin.

Based on the principle of trying both ends, Tan Xianglin sent a captain and several people to investigate, and they actually found something abnormal about him.

This man's name is Nie Fenglin and he is from Hunan.

When the Party Affairs Investigation Office checked his resume, it was discovered that he had lived in many places, especially in Jiangxi.

After receiving the news, the Party Affairs Investigation Office immediately sent people to Jiangxi to investigate. It was eventually determined that he had had contact with the Red Party and decided to arrest him.

At that time, they had been watching him for a while and did not find him contacting anyone else. In addition, it was a small place and they did not want to waste too much time on him.

After catching the person, interrogate him on the spot.

However, the interrogation produced no results and Nie Fenglin continued to protest his innocence. As the interrogation intensified, Nie Fenglin told more and more lies, so Tan Xianglin decided to transfer him to the headquarters.

At the headquarters, Tan Xianglin used the electric chair but still failed to get him to confess.

They were sure that the person they arrested was a member of the Red Party. Apart from the Red Party, there was no one else as tough as him. This was an accident, but also a gain.

Unfortunately, they failed to pry open his mouth, so they did not report it and temporarily left him aside.

Only then did Old Man Xu realize that they had actually caught a big fish.

If they had known his identity in advance, they would never have beaten him to death. They did not hold back during the interrogation and almost beat him to death.

Xu Laogui explained all the reasons and the old man was very surprised.

He was lucky. The Military Intelligence Department had just discovered an important clue, and the Party Affairs Investigation Department had already arrested the person.

As long as the Red Party speaks, we will know where the Red Party’s headquarters is.

Once we find the place where they are and catch them all in one fell swoop, the Red Party in the southeastern provinces will inevitably be in chaos without a leader.

Take the opportunity to eliminate more troublesome enemies.

"Commissioner, God bless the party. I will go back and make arrangements for this person immediately. I must make him speak."

Old Ghost Xu said excitedly that he really had no doubt that this was a trap deliberately set by the Military Intelligence Department.

First of all, their report was too normal. They found a suspicious person, who left a letter and prepared to move.

His performance was consistent with what was stated in the letter.

The most coincidental thing is that the Party Affairs Investigation Office did arrest someone in Chuzhou, secretly, and it was not the police who did it, but them. They did not make a big fuss about the arrest, just to see if there would be any results in the follow-up.

Although he didn't know why this subordinate had never contacted his superior before, there were many people in the Red Party who had not been in contact with their superiors for a long time due to various reasons.

If it is not necessary, the Red Party offline will not even know where the online ones live.

"Okay, get the results as soon as possible. Also, tell the Military Intelligence Department to continue their investigation. You must not interfere, or I will hold you accountable."

The old man was also happy, but he did not forget to warn Xu Laogui that the two of them were trying to sabotage each other. Once Xu Laogui made trouble, the Military Intelligence Department would most likely gain nothing.

For him, the more Reds he caught, the better.

"Don't worry, Mr. Commissioner. I will go back and arrange this matter immediately. I will never interfere with their investigation."

Old Ghost Xu assured loudly that he was speaking from the heart this time and he really would not cause trouble.

The Military Intelligence Department only discovered the subordinates, who knew limited information, and the most important people were in his hands.

I guess the guy named Dai will make this matter a priority and track down that Shanhai.

Let them investigate. The person is in their hands. No matter how much they do, it will be in vain.

He wanted to watch Dai's efforts go to waste.

It would be great to think about waiting for him to get the result and make a great contribution, and then seeing Dai's angry and aggrieved expression.

"Remember what you said and go back."

The old man nodded. As long as they didn't undermine each other, they still had the ability. Both the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Military Intelligence Department had made many achievements.

"Xianglin, you have done a great service."

After returning to the office, Xu Laogui called Tan Xianglin over and told him the latest information he had learned from the old man.

"He is an important member of the Red Party. Does he know where the headquarters is?"

Tan Xianglin was stunned. He never expected that the person who was arrested after receiving the letter of complaint was so important.

"That's right. The Red Party doesn't know he's been arrested yet. We must hurry and make him talk."

Old Ghost Xu nodded. The Red Party indeed did not know about this, otherwise this subordinate would not have left such a letter. If they knew about this, the Red Party would have issued a warning and asked all Shanhai subordinates to evacuate immediately.

Ever since the incident involving Mr. Gu, the Red Party has been strict in this regard.

Unrelated people must not know the identity and whereabouts of others, let alone contact them.

Even if it is the up-line of the up-line, who is not someone you need to meet or contact, we will not let them know that much.

To avoid one person being arrested and everyone else being exposed and arrested.

This also made it increasingly difficult for the Party Affairs Investigation Office to catch the Red Party.

"Director, his condition is not very good now. We can't continue the interrogation."

Tan Xianglin suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly. Xu Laogui cursed, "Who told you to be so harsh? Send him to the hospital immediately and keep him under strict watch. Give him the best medicine and never let him die. When you can ask, as long as he is willing to talk, you can give him anything."

"Yes, Director, I will arrange for someone to take him to the hospital immediately."

Tan Xianglin lowered his head and accepted the order. He had no idea that this man was so important. If he had known, he would not have beaten him so harshly. Torture could make him talk, but that was only one aspect.

They have many methods.

Especially when dealing with important people, as long as they are willing to ask and do things for them, they will give them whatever they want, including high positions, generous salaries, and even beautiful women.

"Go quickly."

As Shanhai's importance increased, his treatment improved accordingly. Tan Xianglin personally led people to escort him carefully and even brought a doctor to send him to the hospital, for fear that something might go wrong on the way.

Naturally, these could not be hidden from Tong Changming, who handled the handover procedures for them.

It was normal for the Red Party member to be sent to the hospital. This Red Party member was in poor health and had been in the cell all the time. He might not be able to hold on.

More than one Red Party member died in their cell.

If he is in better health, he will be re-interrogated a few more times. If he confesses, we will make arrangements based on the circumstances. If he does not confess, he will be sent to prison.

They will not be tried, and as long as they do not confess, they will be imprisoned endlessly.

During this most difficult period, many comrades were persecuted to death by them.

In the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun has been in the office. The investigation of the Transportation Bureau is nearing its end. Yuan Wanchun is a major suspect, but the problems of others are not as big as his.

If you check everyone in the Transportation Bureau, you will find that almost all of them have problems.

Apart from the director and section chief, the rest mostly had minor problems, such as taking things from the Transport Bureau and secretly selling them, exchanging old for new, or exchanging inferior goods for new, etc.

There is no one who doesn't reach out.

Including outsourced drivers, as long as there is a chance, they will try to get some benefits for themselves.

These are not under their jurisdiction. There are no major problems with other people as the accounts can be checked out. Only Yuan Wanchun is the biggest suspect.

He once exchanged thirty yen.

The amount was not large, but he could not find out where these yen came from, and there was no experience in his life that had anything to do with the Japanese.

Currently, Dai Jieying is monitoring him 24 hours a day and is preparing to provide intelligence to the Transportation Bureau.

This intelligence cannot be false. If they target the wrong person and the Japanese discover that the intelligence is untrue, they will most likely give up on this mole.

Real intelligence does not necessarily have to be important intelligence, as long as it is valuable, it will be fine to see if Yuan Wanchun will steal this intelligence and report it.

Zuo Jinfang is investigating the situation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Asia-One Department, and the situation of all personnel has been clarified.

There are not many people in the Sub-Class, only about twenty or so, 70% of whom are children of officials, and the remaining 30% are also from prominent families, so we must be more cautious when investigating them.

After checking the time, Xu Qingyun walked to the window.

The fake arrangement he asked Yan Ming to make should have worked. After Xu Laogui finds out, he will definitely transfer the person to the hospital and it is impossible for him to stay in the interrogation department of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

The best place for rescue is inside the hospital.

But saving people is not that easy. Xu Qingyun deliberately set a trap for the Party Affairs Investigation Office and indeed saved the life of his comrade.

But at the same time, the value of comrades has increased, and the Party Affairs Investigation Office will be more strictly guarded.

Xu Qingyun is currently waiting for news, waiting for news from Tong Changming.

Tong Changming will be informed when the person is transported out. This is valuable information and will not pose any danger to him. After reporting it, the Military Intelligence Department will pay more attention to him and he will even get a reward.

As for the accident, whether the person died or was rescued, it had nothing to do with Tong Changming.

He is only responsible for releasing the person and has no idea which hospital the person is transferred to.

Especially after Xu Laogui fell into the trap, people will take it more seriously and irrelevant personnel will not know where the person is.

All personnel, including guards, must stay in the hospital, at least in groups of two, and no one is allowed to leave.

Xu Qingyun is from the intelligence department and knows very well how spies handle cases.

After get off work in the afternoon, Tong Changming put the information into the dead mailbox.

Since he was on the boat and couldn't get off, he would try to gain more benefits for himself. Money was attractive to people. Although he was unwilling to be controlled at first, he was silent for a long time when he saw so many gold bars.

He had suffered enough from being poor when he was young. If he had been rich, he wouldn't be the only one studying in the family. He has made a lot of money over the years, but it's far less than what he makes now.

What the Military Intelligence Department said is somewhat correct. They are more generous than Xu Laogui. I believe they will be able to give him more money in the future.

"Team leader, Baoshan just provided information. The Red Party member was transported away by the intelligence department. He didn't say where he went."

Not long after Xu Qingyun arrived home, Fang Laibao came to report that he was unaware of what Yan Ming had done and did not know why the Party Affairs Investigation Office did this.

"I see. Keep watching."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, then quickly went to meet Xu Zhanjie. This time he was alone and did not bring Fang Laibao.

"Haha, Old Ghost Xu really fell into the trap."

After reading the information, Xu Zhanjie laughed out loud and called the director in front of Xu Qingyun.

There's no need to report this little thing directly. Who knows what the director is doing now?
Virgos are not only greedy for money, but also lustful.

Xu Zhanjie hinted that their plan was successful and Xu Laogui had diverted the Red Party away.

Holding the microphone, Chu Zuo laughed loudly and was very happy.

"I understand. Report to me anytime if there is any situation."

After saying this, Chu Zuo hung up the phone. "Xu Laogui, oh Xu Laogui, let's see how unlucky you are this time. Xu Qingyun is really good. He actually came up with such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone."

The information that the Party Affairs Investigation Office had caught the Red Party was not important.

Before, he just wanted to kill people and disgust Old Ghost Xu, but Xu Qingyun's strategy infinitely raised the value of this Red Party member.

It not only allowed him to vent his anger, but also tied up Xu Laogui's energy, forcing him to spend a lot of energy on this Red Party member.

There will definitely be no result in the end.

This is the first reason. Second, if the old man knows about this and Old Ghost Xu messes up, he will definitely be disappointed in him, and being scolded would be the least of his worries.

They were just setting up a trap and at most sending some people out to do useless work.

He has someone on his side, so he's not afraid of doing this kind of useless work.

"Yes, Virgo."

Xu Zhanjie hung up the phone happily. Xu Qingyun came early, so he simply asked Xu Qingyun to stay for dinner. The master and disciple also had a few drinks.

This incident made Xu Zhanjie discover another good quality of Xu Qingyun.

This advantage is very important.

Xu Qingyun is not lacking in skills and has a high level of political sensitivity. He came up with a solution that neither he nor Chu Zuo had thought of, thus maximizing their interests.

In his mind, this is more important than Xu Qingyun's ability to handle cases.

Being able to handle cases and knowing how to handle cases is a professional ability.

No matter how strong your business ability is, you will always be a worker in the future.

Political ability is different. If he is strong in this aspect, he will be an official in the future. They are master and apprentice, belonging to one body. Xu Qingyun will become his biggest helper in the future.

No one can replace it.

With four side dishes and two pots of good wine, Xu Zhanjie was in a good mood and finished the wine in no time.

He can drink a lot, but he doesn't drink too much.

When doing intelligence work, one cannot drink too much as it is easy to cause trouble. Although there has been no major events recently, if someone wants to find him for something, he cannot go there drunk.

Xu Zhanjie is the section chief, not an ordinary person.

After eating and drinking, Xu Qingyun said goodbye.

Zheng Jiming has been waiting outside. The boy hasn't eaten yet, so he will let him go and eat something later.

Sitting in the car, Xu Qingyun closed his eyes and rested, while his mind was thinking quickly.

He has completed the first step, the hardest part is the second step.

Saving people is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, Xu Qingyun will try. He will not show up in person, nor can he directly ask the Red Party to rescue people.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office now attaches so much importance to him that even in the hospital, the protection is very strict.

It has to be done some other way.

Thinking constantly in his mind, Xu Qingyun went over the plan again, taking into account all possible situations at every step.

Not only should we consider it, but we should also respond to various situations.

To turn possible bad things into factors that are beneficial to him.

Lu Hanping’s death is Xu Qingshi’s biggest regret, and also his regret.

The first Party member that Xu Qingyun met when he came into this world ended up dying in front of him, and there was nothing he could do.

This time, we will not let something like this happen again.

Comrades at this time did not know the future, but he knew it very clearly.

In the future they will win, the people will be in charge, and all the people will live a good life. Now they are poor and backward, but in the future, they will have what others have, and they will also have what others don’t have.

Although many people cannot see such a glorious moment, it at least gives them hope.

"Jiming, you haven't eaten yet, go eat something right away."

After returning home, Xu Qingyun instructed that Xu Zhanjie was not far from him and it would take less than five minutes to drive there, so only the two of them would go.

"Team Leader, I'm not hungry."

Zheng Jiming grinned and just as he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled twice.

Zheng Jiming immediately lowered his head, his face feeling a little hot.

"There's no food at home, go buy some food from a nearby restaurant. This is an order, go ahead."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head, then went up to the study.

He said it was an order, and Zheng Jiming would definitely go.

"Thank you, team leader."

Zheng Jiming was touched, but he still locked the door and looked around before going out.

The restaurant was not far away, so he ordered the food there and waited at the door.

You can see the team leader’s home here.

Although the Special High Police has cancelled the reward, they will not give up. The enemy is in the dark and they are in the light. They cannot be careless at any time and cannot give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage.

After noticing that Zheng Jiming had gone out, Xu Qingyun went to the study and took out the paper and pen he had prepared in advance.

The pen and paper were purchased secretly by him, they were very common ones.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qingyun began to write.

As a trace expert, Xu Qingyun paid special attention to various details in his previous life. He had many discussions with handwriting experts and knew how to change them so that people could not tell that they were written by different people.

Some talented people can even imitate other people's handwriting and make it indistinguishable from the original.

Xu Qingyun's ability is not that strong, but he can make it so that people can't tell that the handwriting is his own.

When writing, you must concentrate and pay attention to every stroke and even every dot.

Xu Qingyun had finished writing when Zheng Jiming came back with the food.

He put away the things he had written. Zheng Jiming would not rashly enter his study without his permission, but he still hid the things in a safe place.

The next morning, Hangzhou Special High Class.

Intelligence team leader Jun Matsumoto came to the section chief's office with an angry look on his face.

"Section Chief, Leng Minghai is still procrastinating. I don't think he has ever thought about completing this task."

Leng Minghai is the captain of the second team of the Hangzhou Station Action Group and also their spy from the Military Intelligence Department.

Before Kenta Ouchi became the section chief, the acting section chief Aoki gave him a task, asking him to find a reason to go to Nanjing and take a photo of Xu Qingyun.

The biggest difficulty in sanctioning Xu Qingyun is that we don’t have Xu Qingyun’s detailed information and, most importantly, his photo.

Xu Qingyun was not originally a member of the Military Intelligence Department. He was a policeman and was in Tianjin. He had been in the Military Intelligence Department for too short a time and his file was strictly managed.

As for the police station, Xu Qingyun's file had been taken away by the Military Intelligence Department, and nothing was left.

Even his brother Xu Qingshi's was not there.

The Special High Police had no choice but to continue taking action from within the Military Intelligence Department.

"What did he say this time?"

Kenta Ouchi got a cup of tea, and Jun Matsumoto was even more angry: "He said he had been to Nanjing and couldn't go back in the short term. The headquarters is extremely strict in protecting Xu Qingyun. He is an operational personnel and can't get close to him at all."

"He's right, don't worry."

Ouchi shook his head slightly. Matsumoto Jun was his confidant whom he brought from the headquarters. His ability was average, but he was obedient. He was truly loyal to him and obeyed him.

He had just arrived in Hangzhou, and the intelligence team needed to be completely controlled by his own people.

"But he kept asking for money, saying that he had done something and I had to pay him."

Matsumoto is good in every way except money, and thinks that the money given to Leng Minghai is too much.

Leng Minghai just went to Nanjing and didn't complete the task, so he should be given a hundred dollars?
More if you complete the task.

Matsumoto was reluctant to give him so much and only gave him thirty. As a result, Leng Minghai now makes excuses and says that they are not trustworthy.

It was Oota Seiji who made the promise to Leng Minghai, not him.

"Give it to him. If you don't pay him enough, he won't work seriously in the future."

Ouchi knew Matsumoto's character and advised him softly that Matsumoto was stingy and did not want to put the money into his own pocket. He was purely helping the Tokugakusho save money.

"Section Chief, if you give him this time, he might go even further next time."

Matsumoto Jun was a little unwilling. In his mind, Leng Minghai didn't get anything done, so he didn't need to give him a penny. If the section chief hadn't given the order last time, he wouldn't even give him thirty dollars.

"It doesn't matter. The mission is important. Section Chief Beichuan and I have just arrived and we urgently need this credit. Tell him that if he can't go to Nanjing again, let him find a way to lure Xu Qingyun to Hangzhou, and we will deal with him in Hangzhou."

Sanctioning Xu Qingyun is not only the mission of the Shanghai Special High Section, but also his mission.

He and Kitagawa share a common goal in this regard.

"How much money is appropriate to pay him for this mission?"

Matsumoto Jun asked in a low voice, and after thinking for a while, Ouchi stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred dollars?" Matsumoto Jun's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

"No, twenty taels of gold."

Matsumoto Jun was stunned for a moment. Does it cost so much money just to lure people to Hangzhou and he doesn't need to do anything?

He had completely forgotten that the Shanghai Special High Police had previously offered a reward of fifty gold bars, or five hundred taels of gold. Such a high reward was very rare for a Chinese person.
