The Spy

Chapter 197 Partners
He Rongtang was good at talking. He complimented as soon as he came in. They were at the same level, both were team leaders, but He Rongtang talked about reporting in, and it was obvious that Xu Qingyun was the main one.

"Team Leader He, you are too polite. Please take a seat first. I will introduce the case to you."

Xu Qingyu stood up with a smile and asked Zheng Jiming to make tea. He took him to sit on the sofa and explained the case to him in detail.

The case was very important. Previously, they first found the Japanese spy observers, used the observers to determine the area of ​​Japanese spy activities, and then investigated and searched for the Japanese spies. This time, they first looked for traitors, and then used the traitors to find the Japanese spies.

He Rongtang didn't say anything, but listened very carefully.

He didn't expect Xu Qingyun to have such an idea. It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to actually do it.

For many ideas or thoughts, the first person to come up with them is considered a genius.

"Team Leader Xu, you are amazing. You can actually think of such a method."

After Xu Qingyun finished speaking, He Rongtang sighed and said that he didn't expect that Intelligence Group 4 had done so much. Not only did they find the traitor through the old case, but they also locked in a Japanese spy.

They have done all the preliminary work, and asking him to do it now would simply be giving the credit to Group 2 for free. He must remember this favor.

"Team Leader He, this method was not invented by me, but by Dai Jieying, the captain of our team three."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. He would not take credit for his subordinates' achievements.

"Did the little girl come up with this?"

He Rongtang was stunned. The promotion of a female captain to Intelligence Group 4 caused a sensation in the entire Intelligence Department at the time.

He Rongtang had met Dai Jieying. Dai Jieying was only nineteen years old, younger than Xu Qingyun. She was not tall, only about 1.5 meters, thin and small, so some people nicknamed her "little girl".

I didn't expect the little girl to be so smart and make another contribution.

"That's right." Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded.

"Don't judge a person by appearance. I will arrange a team leader to find her right away. Team leader Xu, rest assured, we will cooperate and obey your orders completely."

He Rongtang sighed. He had a very humble attitude. This time the section chief asked them to help, which was equivalent to giving them a fruit.

Another point is that He Rongtang is not a veteran team leader. He took over after Yang Wenxu was transferred to Nanjing. He is not as confident as the other two team leaders. Xu Qingyun is a student of the section chief. Although he came late, he is already the most important team leader in their intelligence department.

He saw this very clearly.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Team Leader He."

In order to return the favor, He Rongtang was so sensible that Xu Qingyun took the initiative to thank him.

"It's my pleasure. You're welcome."

He Rongtang stood up and said goodbye. After returning, he immediately arranged for his three direct teams to come and help Dai Jieying.

There are more than a dozen people in a team, and including Dai Jieying, there are more than 20 people in total. If the Japanese spies really appear online, they will have enough manpower.

After seeing He Rongtang off, Xu Qingyun returned to his desk, lay on the chair, closed his eyes and thought.

People from the Military Intelligence Department also went to the hospital, which was not part of his plan. If he wanted to save people, he needed to create chaos to distract the Party Affairs Investigation Department and force them to transfer people.

There was no possibility of saving lives in the hospital, so Xu Qingyun’s real plan was on the road.

This is the only way there is a glimmer of hope.

Xu Qingyun had a detailed understanding of Tan Xianglin. This was not difficult. As the chief of the intelligence section of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, a powerful figure, the Military Intelligence Department had already investigated him.

Tan Xianglin is quite capable and more professional than Xu Zhanjie.

After all, the Military Intelligence Department was established late, and Xu Zhanjie's professional ability cannot compare with his, but he is better than Tan Xianglin in other aspects.

For example, psychological endurance, political skills, etc.

At the same time, Xu Zhanjie cares less about face than Tan Xianglin. To put it bluntly, he is more shameless.

Tan Xianglin has strong business capabilities, but he also has weaknesses.

Tan Xianglin is cautious, does not like risks, and is suspicious. Once when he was handling a case outside the city, he had a chance to catch someone, but he was afraid it was a trap, so he did some investigation before tracking him down, and ended up missing the opportunity.

Another time, they captured a comrade who had given a warning before being arrested. He did not expect that after several other Red Party members discovered that they had been exposed, they did not flee immediately, but instead attacked them desperately.

The people he had deployed on the periphery were temporarily unable to provide support, so Tan Xianglin immediately ordered his men to escort the captured comrades back, and the people on the periphery immediately came to provide support. Because many people had been sent out, there were gaps on the periphery, and as a result, two of the three comrades escaped.

Tan Xianglin has many similar experiences.

Being cautious is not a shortcoming, and sometimes it can indeed avoid a lot of losses, but it is a weakness that can be exploited.

After thinking carefully for a while and considering all the possibilities, Xu Qingyun made some changes to the plan.

It cannot be too late to act. After Nie Fenglin recovers, given Tan Xianglin's temperament, he will most likely transfer him back to the Party Affairs Investigation Office. Once he goes back, they will have no chance of saving him.

In the hospital, Nie Fenglin recovered quickly.

But I can't get out of bed and walk around for the time being.

Tan Xianglin came over again, this time followed by two people, each carrying a box.

The box is heavy.

"Nie Fenglin, I know you don't care about money, but money can really do a lot of things. You want to help more poor people, but you must have money to help them. Not to mention far away places, there are places around Nanjing that have suffered disasters. Many people there can't eat and have started to eat tree bark."

Nie Fenglin closed his eyes, but Tan Xianglin didn't care and continued talking with a smile.

He didn't say too far away, but some places near Nanjing, especially in Anhui Province, did suffer from floods, and many people were displaced and begging for food everywhere.

Unfortunately, not many people can get food. People are having a hard time now. Many people will definitely starve to death this time.

"If you want to save them, I can give you money, a lot of money. This money is enough for you to save countless people and keep them alive so they don't starve to death. For you, it will also be the fulfillment of your wish."

Having said this, Nie Fenglin finally opened his eyes, but he did not believe a word of what Tan Xianglin said.

Would the spies be so kind as to help them save people?
There is no such possibility.

"Open the box."

Noticing that he opened his eyes, Tan Xianglin smiled happily and asked his men to open the two boxes.

After the box was opened, the shiny gold bars inside were extremely eye-catching.

In order to enhance the visual effect, Tan Xianglin specially had the surface of the gold bars polished to make it brighter, and had someone turn on the lights in the ward in advance to make the gold more dazzling.

There were fifty gold bars in one box, half of which were displayed.

There are 100 sticks in two boxes, which is equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan.

Nie Fenglin really looked at the box. So much gold was really impressive to him.

But what he was thinking about was not how to get the money, but how many lives could be saved if the money was used to buy food.

The price of rice is a little higher now, each stone of rice costs more than ten dollars. If you buy rice for more than 30,000 dollars, you can buy more than 2,000 stones, which is close to 300,000 kilograms.

If you buy other cheap coarse grains, or even hard-to-swallow foods like bran, the quantity will be even greater.

This money can at least save tens of thousands of people, allowing them to survive until the autumn harvest and get food again.

"If you really have such good intentions, just buy some food and send it to them without telling me."

When Nie Fenglin spoke for the first time, Tan Xianglin smiled even more happily. It was good that he was willing to talk. He never thought that someone like Nie Fenglin could be bribed with money.

Everyone has weaknesses, and he is now fighting a battle to conquer others' hearts.

"I won't do that, but you can. Think about it. Thousands or even tens of thousands of people survived because of you and didn't starve to death. This is a great merit. It's also what you've always wanted to do. Now their life and death depends on your thoughts."

Tan Xianglin was actually using the lives of the people as a threat. What he wanted was intelligence. Once he got the intelligence, not to mention the money, it would be worth several times more.

This time it's intelligence from the Red Party's headquarters.

Such intelligence must be obtained as soon as possible; once they are transferred, the outdated intelligence will no longer be of any use.

"Humph."

Nie Fenglin snorted coldly and closed his eyes again.

He would never believe anything designed to trick children.

"Shanhai, we know your true identity. As long as you tell us what we want, I promise that the money will be at your disposal. I can swear on my life."

Tan Xianglin raised his hand and suddenly said that Nie Fenglin had already spoken just now, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and try to make Nie Fenglin confess.

Nie Fenglin was a little confused. What did mountains and seas mean?
He has been arrested. This is his real identity. The spies claim to know his real identity. What shady tricks are they playing?
He didn't know anything at all and simply didn't want to surrender.

"Your oath is useless."

Nie Fenglin spoke again, and Tan Xianglin was happy again. He was not afraid of Nie Fenglin's rejection, but he was afraid that Nie Fenglin would ignore him and completely disregard his words.

"Who do you want to swear? Can our director do it?"

"No one can do that. You have to deliver the grain first, open the warehouse and release all the grain. Let the reporters follow. I only believe reporter Hu from Jinling Daily. As long as he says that the grain has reached the people, I will tell you what you want."

Nie Fenglin had already made up his mind to die. He didn't know why the spy said those words before, but before he died, he was still happy to help the people.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Tan Xianglin agreed immediately. Now was not the time to bargain. He had to get Nie Fenglin to reveal the information as soon as possible.

Not only must this be done, it must be done as soon as possible.

It doesn’t matter who the reporter is, as long as I can gain Nie Fenglin’s trust.

As for whether Nie Fenglin would play a trick on him, Tan Xianglin had his own considerations. If he did, he would drag the victims who had received food in front of him and kill a group of them, letting Nie Fenglin know that these people were harmed by him.

When it comes to despicable means, he has plenty of them.

"Virgo, good news."

Tan Xianglin excitedly returned to the Party Affairs Investigation Office and told them the conditions proposed by Nie Fenglin.

"That's great. Go do it right away. Take the reporter with you and go directly to the local area to collect grain. It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money."

Xu Laogui immediately gave orders that Nie Fenglin's information was time-sensitive, and once the Red Party knew that he had been arrested, the command center would most likely be moved.

There is no time to waste now.

Tan Xianglin was good. He found Nie Fenglin’s weakness and took him down so quickly.

"Yes."

Tan Xianglin left immediately. Fortunately, the disaster area was very close to Nanjing and he could get there today and distribute all the grain tomorrow.

His goal was to spend all the 100 gold bars, so it didn't matter if the food was a little expensive.

When he came out of the hospital, he asked someone to find reporter Hu. Nie Fenglin had met reporter Hu. Reporter Hu had been to his city before to do an interview. Reporter Hu was a man with a sense of justice, and his articles were very sharp.

Nie Fenglin had a chat with reporter Hu and had great respect for him.

Nie Fenglin had no idea what the spies wanted from him. He just wanted to help more people before he died.

Military Intelligence Department, Xu Zhanjie came to the office.

"Director, Qingyun and his team found a Japanese spy through a traitor, but the Japanese spy disguised himself as a doctor and was in Jinling Hospital."

"Jinling Hospital?"

The director was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Xu Zhanjie meant.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office is there, and the person they are targeting is in the hospital, so it is easy to get into conflict with the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

"Director, should we tell Qingyun to pay attention to this?" Xu Zhanjie asked. The director thought for a while and quickly shook his head: "No need. We are handling the case normally. Just pretend we don't know."

At least on the surface, they didn't know that the Party Affairs Investigation Office had caught the Red Party, and they were investigating Shanhai, hoping to catch this person.

If you greet in advance, it will be easy for someone with ulterior motives to guess what you are doing.

As for the case, that is their duty and they have to do it.

Investigating the Red Party was just a deliberate attempt to frame Xu Laogui; catching the Japanese spy was their achievement.

The old man said that the Japanese must not be allowed to know too much about them, and all these traitors must be arrested and executed.

Japanese spies are foreigners, and traitors are the most hateful.

"Yes, then let them handle the case normally."

Xu Zhanjie lowered his head and left, and he had completely given up on reminding Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun did not leave the office that afternoon, but Dai Jieying came to make a report.

They have verified that Yan Chaowei's identity is fake and officially confirmed his identity as a Japanese spy.

Keep a close eye on him, wait for him to send information to the dead mailbox, then find out his superiors and expand your harvest.

"Jiming, you're eating so much, don't get too full?"

In the evening, Xu Qingyun had dinner at home. He cooked the meal himself. He knew how to cook in his previous life, but he was busy with work after coming to Nanjing and had no chance to show it.

"Team leader, I didn't expect you to be able to cook, and cook so well."

Zheng Jiming was still biting a piece of chicken in his mouth, grinning foolishly. Xu Qingyun's cooking skills were indeed good, but his food had been stuffed with something else again today.

"You can't eat too much, either."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. There were sleeping pills in Zheng Jiming’s food, and it would be bad for him to eat too much. Next time when she cooked, she could let him eat more.

"After you've packed up, go and rest."

After the meal, Zheng Jiming cleaned up the dishes. Xu Qingyun didn't have any servants. He had wanted to find one before, but he was always busy. In addition, the Japanese had put a bounty on him, so he didn't dare to just hire anyone.

But at the moment, it is not suitable for his family to have servants. We can talk about servants later.

"Yes, team leader, you should go to bed early."

Zheng Jiming agreed immediately, saying that he didn't know how to cook. Not only him, but many men in this era didn't know how to cook.

Cooking, washing clothes and doing housework are considered women's work by many people.

Especially male chauvinists, they never do such things.

Xu Qingyun returned to the room and waited quietly for Zheng Jiming to fall asleep.

According to his plan, the best time for rescue is the day after tomorrow, and everything must be arranged before the day after tomorrow.

Especially the Red Party, they are the last step, the letter must be delivered to them tomorrow so that they can be prepared.

"Dong dong."

Arriving at his brother's house, Xu Qingyun knocked on the door again and left immediately without waiting for the person inside to come out.

My brother had responded in the newspaper before, and he knew that someone would continue to send him messages in the next two days, so it would be impossible for him to leave.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Qingshi came out immediately and saw the note dropped at the door.

He was excited and walked over quickly and opened the door immediately.

Unfortunately, there is no one outside the door.

Xu Qingshi was a little disappointed, but he didn't care. His senior brother must have his reasons for not seeing him. He just wanted to know that he was not alone in this world and that there were other people around him.

With the note, he returned to the living room.

There was a lot of content on the note. After reading it, he was stunned.

Big move.

No wonder they had to intensify the conflict between Wu Qi and Heilang before. They also had this role.

After remembering all the above contents, Xu Qingshi immediately burned the note. This thing could not be kept.

Staying here would be a hidden danger.

The next morning, Xu Qingshi called Xu Erxi over.

"Go and secretly inform Wu Qi that Heilang already knows that he bribed the people around Heilang, and that he has joined forces with me and will take action against Wu Qi soon. Tell him to be careful."

"Notify Wu Qi?"

Xu Erxi was stunned. They were now standing with Heilang, so why did they have to inform Wu Qi to do this?

"Yes, just tell him not to let anyone know that it was you who did it."

Xu Qingshi nodded and asked Wu Qi to attack Heilang first. Someone must be injured and sent to the hospital.

Wu Qi is ruthless and cruel. He knows that Hei Lang wants to deal with him, so he will never wait for Hei Lang to come to him.

"I see, I'll go now."

Xu Erxi didn't know exactly what was going on, but he understood that the eldest young master was right and that he was going to notify Wu Qi.

Let Wu Qi and Heilang fight each other.

As soon as Xu Erxi left, Xu Qingyun called Dou Yingchun over.

"Tell Black Wolf that we will visit his home later."

"Yes, Chief, I will go and inform him now."

Dou Yingchun was slightly startled, and immediately responded that it seemed that the director and Heilang already had a cooperative relationship, which was good, and Heilang would definitely give him more gifts in the future.

As for Wu Qi, it had nothing to do with him. No matter how brave Wu Qi was, he would not dare to attack their director.

If their director makes any mistake, Wu Qi will be finished.

Gou Chuangui is a lesson for them.

Xu Erxi left the police station alone and immediately went to a second-hand clothing store in the south of the city.

The clothes I bought this time are not as torn as last time, but the color is very dark.

Disguised again, Xu Erxi came to a place on Wu Qi's territory.

"Little guy, do you want this?"

Looking around, he quickly spotted a kid with a wooden box full of cigarettes hanging on his chest.

A dollar popped up from Xu Erxi's hand and fell back into his hand.

"think."

The kid nodded frantically. Who wouldn't want a dollar? His cigarettes were only a few cents a pack. How many packs did he have to sell to make a dollar?
"Go tell the people in the field over there that Black Wolf is going to attack him. Black Wolf has found a powerful police chief to tell you to be careful. If they ask who told you, just say you are an old friend of theirs."

Xu Erxi gave the child careful instructions and asked him to repeat his words before giving him the money.

Watching the child knock on the door of the opium den, Xu Erxi walked to another position where he could see the door.

It's a little further here.

All he has to do is watch to see if the child does what he is told.

Not long after, someone opened the door and the child said something to him. He quickly communicated with the child for a while, and then came to where Xu Erxi was just now.

It became.

If the child had not told the truth, the people inside would not have come to find him.

A little earlier than him, Xu Qingshi had already arrived at the side of Black Wolf.

The Black Wolf place is usually open at night, and Xu Qingshi went to his place.

"Director Xu, no wonder the magpie has been calling today, it turns out you are coming."

Heilang had received the call long ago and was waiting for him here. Xu Qingshi looked at his house. It was not small, a three-story detached villa with front and back gardens. The words "Zhao Mansion" were written on the outside.

Not to mention now, it would be a mansion even in the future, but Black Wolf has the financial resources to do so.

"Go in and talk."

Xu Qingshi shook his head slightly, and Heilang made a gesture of invitation and welcomed Xu Qingshi into the living room.

Heilang asked someone to make tea and he personally received the guests. He was very happy that Xu Qingshi could come today. In the past two days, he had been thinking about how to deepen their relationship.

"Boss Zhao, I heard that you also have a loan sharking business. Is that true?"

Xu Qingshi went straight to the point and asked directly.

"Yes, Director Xu, do you want to?"

Heilang deliberately left the question half-answered. Usury is loan sharking. These gangsters are capable of all kinds of evil. No one would give up such a profitable business as loan sharking.

The interest rate was extremely high at that time. Some people who borrowed money had to pay back several times the amount.

If he fails to repay the loan in time, the interest will compound and he may never be able to pay it back in his lifetime. The loan shark will drain the last drop of oil from him, sell everything he has, including his wife and children, and then get rid of him.

Many people die every year because of usury.

"I have some spare money, it would be a waste to leave it there, can you help me earn some?"

Xu Qingshi said with a smile, and Heilang's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "From what you said, of course there is no problem."

It turned out that they wanted to lend money. Xu Qingshi couldn't do it himself, but he could hand it over to him.

There are many people who do this, and Heilang helps more than one person to lend money out.

"How do we divide the money?"

Xu Qingshi picked up the tea bowl and asked directly. Black Wolf immediately replied: "Seven to three, you seven and I three."

Loan sharking is very profitable. Those who dare to give money to Hei Lang and ask him to lend it out are not small people. Hei Lang can only take a small share, and the bulk of the money is in the hands of these people.

"What if there is money that cannot be collected?" Xu Qingshi asked again.

"It's all mine."

Without hesitation, Heilang replied that lending money involves certain risks. Some people really have no money, and killing people is useless. They are bound to lose money.

But he will be the only one to pay the compensation, not the person behind the scenes.

"Very good. Send someone to get the money from me later. I'll put less money this time, maybe 10,000 yuan."

Xu Qingshi drank the tea in the bowl and seemed very satisfied with Heilang's attitude.

"Okay, I'll go get it myself later. Don't worry, I'll pay you interest every month. In a few months, your ten thousand dollars will double."

It was great news for Heilang that Xu Qingshi was lending money to him; their relationship would become closer, and they would become partners.

Today I attended a graduation banquet for my friend’s child. I owe two thousand words and will make up for it tomorrow.
