The Spy

Chapter 194: The Grievance of Jiming
Seeing Matsumoto's expression, Ouchi understood that he was feeling sorry for the money again.

"Xu Qingyun is too much of a threat to the empire. Do you know how many elite empire agents in Tianjin and Shanghai have fallen into his hands?"

Matsumoto is his confidant, and he cannot be allowed to go to work with emotions.

"I know that four sleeper cells were captured in Shanghai, and there are 20 warriors who went to assassinate him."

Ouchi said softly, "Yes, Shanghai alone has lost dozens of elites, and Tianjin still has more than 20. Although he is young, he is very scary. Whether it is us or Section Chief Kitagawa, if we want to achieve results, we must first eliminate this hidden danger."

"The reason why Kawashima wanted to assassinate Nanbu was because he was cornered by Xu Qingyun. At that time, we in Hangzhou were the only ones who had spies in the Military Intelligence Department. It is still the case now. Do you understand the value of Leng Minghai?"

"I understand."

Matsumoto lowered his head hurriedly. It would have been better if the section chief didn't tell him these numbers, but when he did, he was very frightened.

In just half a year, the empire suffered such great losses.

"Kawashima offered 500 taels of gold for Xu Qingyun's life. Although Section Chief Beichuan has cancelled the reward, he and I both believe that Xu Qingyun is worth the price. We must get rid of him at any cost. So we must give Leng Minghai the money he wants, and give him enough so that he can do what we ask."

"Killing Xu Qingyun is not only a great achievement, but also revenge for so many warriors in the empire. I hope you can understand this."

Matsumoto knelt straight and bowed his head suddenly: "Don't worry, Section Chief, I will give him the money I owed him last time right away, and this time I will give him another ten taels of gold as a deposit, and ask him to bring Xu Qingyun to Hangzhou as soon as possible."

He is stingy with money, but he is not ignorant.

Xu Qingyun is too big a threat. As the section chief said, he is worth the price. Let alone two gold bars, even twenty would be worth it if we could get rid of Xu Qingyun.

At this point he no longer had any objections.

After the Nanjing Military Intelligence Department lost their spies, Leng Minghai became more important. Although he was in Hangzhou, Hangzhou was not far from Nanjing, so there was hope that he could lure Xu Qingyun out.

After he came to the Hangzhou Special High Section, he heard that the Hangzhou Station had once investigated a traitor. Fortunately, there were many idiots in the Hangzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Department.

They just found someone to deal with the higher-ups, and the traitor they instigated was still alive and well, continuing to provide them with more valuable intelligence.

Nanjing, hospital.

Nie Fenglin has woken up, but cannot speak yet. He is indeed a Red Party member, a soldier with firm beliefs, willing to fight for his ideals and convictions, and not afraid of sacrifice.

But he is not a professional agent.

He once lived in a guerrilla group. Their guerrilla group was disbanded, and Nie Fenglin was separated from the troops and stayed alone in Chu County.

He was well-educated, literate, able to do accounting, and smart. On the basis of supporting himself in Chu County, he helped the poor to the best of his ability.

That's what they, the guerrillas, do.

"Chief, the person is awake."

The person in charge of guarding him was Tang Hongming, the leader of Intelligence Group 1 and Tan Xianglin's absolute confidant.

After noticing that Nie Fenglin had woken up, they immediately called Tan Xianglin. They set up a dedicated line in the hospital to prevent the call from being eavesdropped.

"I'll be there right away."

Tan Xianglin stood up immediately. Nie Fenglin was too important. He had been in a coma before and made him worried for two days. It would be good if he woke up. However, the most important thing was to let him speak. Once he spoke, the entire Party Affairs Investigation Office would have made a great contribution.

Jinling Hospital is the best hospital in Nanjing, and the doctors here are of the highest level. To be on the safe side, they transferred the patient here.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office has taken over the rooms at the edge of the third floor of the hospital, and no one is allowed to approach.

The entire intelligence team was mobilized. They were the elites of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. More than 40 people were on guard inside and outside the room 24 hours a day to ensure that no accidents would occur.

With so many people, it would be impossible to rescue them unless more than a hundred people were dispatched to launch a quick and violent attack.

Does the Red Party have such a large armed force in Nanjing?

The answer is no.

Besides, the Red Party had no idea that he had been captured in Nanjing, so it was impossible for them to come to rescue him.

Tan Xianglin is very reassured about safety.

"Team leader."

Inside the hospital, Tang Hongming was waiting at the gate. Tan Xianglin nodded to him and immediately walked inside.

Nie Fenglin did wake up, but he was unable to move, and the pain all over his body made him feel very uncomfortable.

Tan Xianglin looked at him carefully, while Nie Fenglin closed his eyes.

He had met Tan Xianglin and knew that he was a big spy from the Party Affairs Investigation Office. He did not think he could survive after falling into the hands of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, but it was completely impossible to make him sell out his beliefs.

He would never surrender even if he died.

In fact, even if he confessed, he had nothing to say. The guerrillas were dispersed and he had no idea where his comrades were.

"Doctor, when will the patient be able to speak?"

Tan Xianglin found a doctor, and the doctor and nurse were also under their guard and could not leave.

"It will take at least two more days."

The doctor was not in a good mood. No one would be happy under house arrest, not to mention that he didn't like spies. The spies were too cruel. Even he was shocked when the person was first sent in. There was not a single good place on Nie Fenglin's body.

Not only him, most doctors don't like it.

Their duty is to save lives and heal the wounded, but the spies harm people like this. It would be strange if we could like them.

"Thank you, doctor. You have worked hard. Take this money and have some tea."

Tan Xianglin took out a few dollars. He knew that the doctors had some opinions, but he couldn't let them show too much resistance. It was just a few dollars, as a bribe and a gesture of goodwill.

"Take the money. We don't need it. Just be gentler next time."

The doctor's face turned pale. He was an intellectual with a higher education. There were not many Western doctors these days. Every Western doctor had received professional education and their salaries were also very high.

"It's okay, I'm leaving first."

Tan Xianglin was not surprised by his attitude. He had seen such doctors more than once.

Besides, they have investigated the doctors and nurses and they have no problems.

After Tan Xianglin left, the doctor looked at the five dollars on the table and finally sighed. He didn't want the money, but since it was given by the spy, he would be in vain if he didn't accept it.

I'll give it to the two nurses later; they work harder.

Military Intelligence Department, Dai Jieying ran over early in the morning.

"Team leader, Yuan Wanchun got the information."

Dai Jieying said excitedly that Yuan Wanchun paid attention to the intelligence they released. This was real intelligence. The Transportation Bureau received an order to transport a batch of military supplies to Hui Province.

The thing is true, but not particularly important.

"Keep an eye on him and make sure you find his dead mailbox."

From the current perspective, Yuan Wanchun is basically the person they are looking for. Traitors belong to the very end of the Japanese intelligence team and are pawns that can be abandoned at any time.

But they have connections with Japanese spies, and through them there is hope of finding hidden Japanese spies and then capturing more of them.

"Don't worry, we've got you covered."

Dai Jieying nodded vigorously. Although he was the one who found the Japanese spy last time, the clues were provided by the team leader and the captain.

This case belongs completely to her and has a different meaning.

"Go."

Xu Qingyun waved his hand, and Dai Jieying left happily. They were about to find the Japanese spy, but unfortunately the captain was not with her and could not share this joy with her.

Dai Jieying has only one captain in her mind, Yan Ming.

She didn't know why the captain had gone out to investigate and had not returned, but she understood that it was best not to ask about things that she was not allowed to know.

The captain didn't come back, he must be on an important mission.

Especially since the group sent people to support him, this further confirmed this.

At this time, Yan Ming was still in Quanjiao.

Yan Ming was very leisurely every day and asked people to check the whole city for people coming from Chu County.

First find out the identity of the person, then investigate. The person is the one he is looking for, and he will definitely not be found. The actor left with the circus troupe yesterday. He is not from Chu County at all, and he is not alone.

People like him were not included in the investigation at all, it would be strange if they could be found.

This task is easy and destined to be unfinished, but it will still give you some free time.

He was free, but his subordinates were not.

They were unaware of the situation and really believed that there was a Red Party, so they were working hard to investigate. Quanjiao is so small and there are few outsiders, so it is not difficult to investigate.

"Captain, we have found three suspects."

Yan Ming was in the house. There were only three large coach shops in the county, none of which were large. Yan Ming simply rented several connected houses as their headquarters.

Here you can cook your own food and everyone can have a good rest.

Virgo will be very generous this time. Do a good research and don’t be afraid to spend money. We will reimburse you for any amount you spend.

Of course, it is impossible to have too much. If he really goes back to claim reimbursement of 100,000 oceans, he will be thrown into jail immediately.

Even if you are greedy, you can't be so unscrupulous.

"Tell me about their situation."

Yan Ming asked immediately. He didn't expect that they could find so many people who met the requirements in this small county.

"Yes……"

The subordinates began to report. First of all, three people came from Chu County, alone. Two of them left recently, and the remaining one was still in the county.

Chu County is very close to Quanjiao and is larger than Quanjiao, so many people have come from there.

Now it is a preliminary investigation to identify the suspects and then verify them.

The two people who left were the most suspicious. After all, the "Red Party" discovered that they were being monitored, and they left a letter saying that they were leaving, so these two people became the most suspicious.

"Trace the two people's whereabouts immediately."

Yan Ming gave the order, he was just putting it on stage, just to train these guys' tracking and investigation skills.

You won't suffer any loss.

"Yes."

The subordinates took orders and continued the investigation. Yan Ming took this rare opportunity to have a good rest, simply treating it as a vacation.

He was actually quite tired after following Xu Qingyun in solving cases one after another.

"Jiming, let's go out for a walk."

In Nanjing, Xu Qingyun stood up from his office. Someone else was handling the case, so he had nothing to do for the time being.

"it is good."

Zheng Jiming responded immediately, started the car, and turned to look at Xu Qingyun.

He didn't know where to go.

"Just wander around."

Xu Qingyun said softly, and Zheng Jiming immediately understood that the team leader came out to relax and had no clear destination.

After getting in the car, Zheng Jiming walked in a random direction.

Xu Qingyun kept staring out the window, and his expression further confirmed Zheng Jiming's guess.

The team leader has been under a lot of pressure recently, having handled so many cases and experienced an assassination. It was not until the Shanghai Special High Police did something stupid that the team leader felt a little relieved.

During that period, there was no time for the two of them to go out alone.

Until now, they still frequently change license plates, or even change cars, to prevent someone from leaking Xu Qingyun's vehicle information to Japanese spies and finding them through the car to ambush them.

Once bitten, you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years. Last time we found them by car.

This mistake will not be made again.

Although Zheng Jiming has no purpose, he has a subconscious mind.

He drove along a route he had taken before.

Seeing that he was heading in the right direction, Xu Qingyun didn't say anything. If he didn't drive in the direction he wanted, Xu Qingyun would influence him in other ways.

For example, local cuisine.

"Jiming, have we been here before?"

When they were almost there, Xu Qingyun suddenly asked. Zheng Jiming was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Team Leader, I'm sorry. The Japanese assassinated you here last time."

Zheng Jiming was driving according to his subconscious mind. This place left the deepest impression on him, so he came here.

"It's okay. I remember there's a theater here that has some pretty good Huangmei Opera. Since you're here, let's go over and listen to it."

"Yes, team leader."

Zheng Jiming nodded. In the past, Xu Qingyun had a way to get Zheng Jiming out of the way, but after the assassination, Zheng Jiming would no longer obey such orders.

He had sufficient reasons to believe that the section chief's orders were more important than those of the team leader.

Xu Zhanjie asked him not to let Xu Qingyun leave his side.

With no other choice, Xu Qingyun could only use this roundabout way to get to where he wanted to go.

There was a play going on in the theater and they arrived a little late.

But there weren't many people today, and I still had tickets, but I couldn't see the first half.

"go in."

Xu Qingyun's purpose was not to listen to the opera, but to do something.

There were not many people in the theater. They bought tickets for good seats and sat in the front.

After buying peanuts, melon seeds and tea, the two watched excitedly.

Looking at Zheng Jiming, Xu Qingyun sighed inwardly. He had to inconvenience him today. Xu Qingyun had no choice, and he could only use this method once.

Must be replaced next time.

Zheng Jiming liked to drink tea while listening to opera, and soon he went to the toilet.

Calculating the time, Xu Qingyun added some stuff into his teacup.

Not poison, croton.

Not much.

After Zheng Jiming came back, he didn't think about anything at all. He continued to drink tea and drank all the croton seeds.

"Let's go."

Soon the show was over and Xu Qingyun stood up. Zheng Jiming's croton was about to take effect, and he wanted to find a toilet for Zheng Jiming to prevent him from defecating in his stomach.

They are indeed familiar with this place, having been to many places before when handling cases.

There was a restaurant that sold some good braised meat. After we came out, I asked Zheng Jiming to drive over there and bought some braised meat to eat on the spot.

After eating something, Xu Qingyun asked Zheng Jiming to continue driving forward.

"Team leader, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

The effect of croton began to show, and Xu Qingyun had a strong control over details. At this time, they happened to arrive near Lao Liang's house.

The only Red Party member he knew was Lao Liang, and it was only after several incidents that he confirmed Lao Liang's identity.

"Did you have a stomachache?" Xu Qingyun asked immediately.

"Maybe the stewed food wasn't fresh. Sorry, team leader. I have to go to the bathroom first."

Zheng Jiming saw a public toilet in the distance, drove over immediately, stopped next to the toilet, picked up the newspaper in the car and rushed in.
