The Spy

Chapter 201 Everyone is Misled
"He wasn't exposed?"

Beichuan saw the point, and Firefox specifically mentioned that he was well disguised and the Chinese did not see his appearance.

"Yes, Firefox is very cautious. Every time he gets information, he disguises himself as a doctor and wears a mask."

Iijima replied softly that Kitagawa was the section chief and he didn't need to know too much about the undercover agents, just their names and situations.

But he couldn't do that. After taking office, Iijima learned the detailed information of all the hidden agents and their intelligence team members.

He is the head of the intelligence team, but he doesn't even understand his subordinates. How is he going to arrange work in the future?

"That's good. How did the Fire Wolf get exposed?"

Kitagawa asked again, and Iijima lowered his head. He didn't know how Fire Wolf was exposed, and it was not mentioned in the Fire Fox message.

However, the problem occurred with Firefox in the dead mailbox where Fire Wolf was located. It can be basically concluded that Fire Wolf was exposed first, the Chinese kept an eye on him, and then found Firefox.

Fortunately, God Bless the Empire, there was chaos in the hospital at that time, allowing Firefox to escape successfully.

Otherwise they will suffer too much loss.

Of the several teams that were lost before, three were no match for one Firefox team.

The Firefox group was established gradually. The first one to arrive in Nanjing was Firefox. He had been lurking in Nanjing eight years ago, when Nanjing had just been established as the capital.

The Japanese developed intelligence much earlier than the Chinese. Tsuchihara had a strategic vision and started planning many years ago.

"Do you want to activate an observer to investigate this matter?"

Iijima asked carefully, the four observers were already in position, but Iijima didn't expect to activate them so early.

According to his strategy, once the observers were activated, they would be withdrawn immediately.

Beichuan didn't say anything. He was considering the risks of doing this.

After Fire Wolf got into trouble, Firefox would definitely hide first. At this time, it would not be suitable for him to verify whether his other offline friends were safe.

Avoid being caught by the Chinese after you appear.

If he doesn't go, he can only activate the observers, but the shadow of the accidents of the previous observers always lingers in Beichuan's mind.

The Chinese are not the same as before, especially Xu Qingyun.

He had many methods, and to this day the Shanghai Special High Police have not been able to find out how Xu Qingyun managed to arrest so many of them.

"Don't move for now."

Beichuan shook his head slightly. This time, the Fire Fox escaped death and only lost the Fire Wolf, which was not a big loss.

He could still accept this result. The most important thing at this moment was Firefox's safety. He was afraid that if he acted rashly, Firefox would suffer losses again. The Firefox team was very important and ranked at least in the top three among all their hidden teams.

The hidden teams mentioned here include those in other cities.

"Yes."

Iijima was helpless. He could understand that Kitagawa was a cautious person and did not dare to act rashly since the Military Intelligence Department was currently investigating.

Two days later, Nanjing.

Secretary Huang has already reported Nie Fenglin's matter, but it is difficult to contact the organization and he has not received a reply yet.

The Party Affairs Investigation Department conducted a large-scale search in the past two days, and the place where Nie Fenglin was located was inspected twice. Fortunately, they made preparations in advance and nothing serious happened.

"Minister Liang, Secretary Huang asked you to review Comrade Nie Fenglin. He is unable to move around and cannot go out. Please go directly to him and do not reveal your identity and occupation."

Xiao Wu came to convey the latest order to Lao Liang. No matter how trustworthy the arrested comrades were, necessary review must be conducted. This was an organizational regulation.

Lao Liang is responsible for the organization and the auditing work belongs to him.

"In addition, your residence will be moved after this meeting. It would be best if you change your identity and continue working."

Lao Liang was unable to see who the kite was, so he had to move. The kite was an uncontrollable risk for them, and if anything happened to the kite, Lao Liang might be implicated.

"Change your identity?"

Lao Liang was slightly stunned. It was not easy to change one's identity. The changed identity must be fake. Once suspected, it would be easily found out.

However, he understood that there was no other way around it. If he didn't change his identity, the possibility of being discovered would be higher.

"That's right. We will find a way to give you a new identity. From now on, your name is Liang Chaoqing."

The reason why he changed his name but not his surname was mainly because Lao Liang had not been truly exposed. If he were an important leader, he would not only have to change his name but also his surname.

"Okay, I remember."

Lao Liang nodded and said that it was okay to change his name, and the organization would help him get a new identity document.

"I'm leaving first. Please go to this place at 3 pm. Comrade Nie Fenglin is recovering well now. We will send him away in a few days."

Xiao Wu said goodbye and left, and they would never be together for too long each time.

"Team Leader, I need to ask for leave for a while."

At the Military Intelligence Department, Zheng Jiming suddenly ran over, covering his mouth with a mask of pain on his face.

"Does your tooth hurt badly?"

Xu Qingyun asked immediately, the day before yesterday, Zheng Jiming had a toothache due to inflammation, and he drank some egg soup, which made him feel a little better. But he didn't expect that it suddenly got worse last night, and he didn't sleep well all night.

Toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal. Even though Zheng Jiming is a tough guy, he was still tortured.

"Yes, I'm going to the hospital. I can't hold on any longer."

Zheng Jiming nodded. His toothache was so severe that he just wanted to have the tooth pulled out to get rid of the pain.

He was so groggy last night that he couldn't even sleep for two hours.

"Let Jin Fang take you there."

Zheng Jiming had a severe toothache and it was inconvenient for him to drive, so Xu Qingyun sent Zuo Jinfang over. The two had been together at the police station before, and now they followed Xu Qingyun to the Military Intelligence Department.

It can be said that they have the best relationship.

Zheng Jiming did not object. He was suffering from a toothache and a headache, and driving would probably be even more uncomfortable.

After the two left, Xu Qingyun continued to read the case closing report written by Dai Jieying.

This case belongs to Group 4, but it is Dai Jieying who is investigating it. The case closing report is given to him to write, and Xu Qingyun will review it and submit it.

Dai Jieying was not reconciled to the fact that she only caught one Japanese spy. She is now leading people to investigate the situation in the Sub-Section, hoping to find another Japanese spy through the traitors in the Sub-Section.

She is very energetic and motivated.

The hospital incident has finally come to an end.

It was found out that Wu Qi wanted to seize Black Wolf's industry and territory, so he attacked Black Wolf directly in the city and used a gun.

The next day, he was even more cruel and shot and killed Heilang in the hospital.

Wu Qi's crimes are extremely serious and he deserves death.

Xu Qingshi from the east of the city was fined half a year's salary for his poor performance.

However, he failed to stop the fight because Deputy Director Wang of the General Administration stopped him temporarily, causing the situation to get out of control. Deputy Director Wang was found to have many problems by the Inspection Office and has been imprisoned.

In the end, you will definitely lose your head.

Wu Qi's head was chopped off earlier than his. This incident alarmed the old man, and the Military Intelligence Department had to resolve the case quickly.

There were four big gangsters, and now only one is left.

He originally thought that good luck had come to him and he had inexplicably become the most powerful force in Nanjing, but in the end he was still unlucky.

This incident was too big, and it made the higher-ups realize that they cannot allow powerful gangsters to be allowed in Nanjing.

He was arrested without doing anything.

However, it was the police station that took action this time. At least his life would be better if he were thrown into the police jail. He had built up so many relationships over the years that the police could take care of him.

He also has his men in prison, so he won't be bullied.

The four bosses are all gone, but the underground forces in Nanjing will not disappear, and it will enter an era of chaos.

Various forces are also cultivating their own spokespersons, and these gang disciples can help them do many things that are difficult to do openly.

It was expected that Xu Qingshi would be punished.

The incident happened in Dongcheng, and he had nothing to complain about. A punishment of half a year's salary deduction was equivalent to a small fine for him.

His salary is not low, but everyone knows that powerful policemen never rely on salary, and that little money is not even enough for them to support their families.

In the Military Intelligence Department, Li Yuanjie walked into He Rongtang’s office.

"Team leader, the money has been sent to the three of them. I handed it to them personally."

"Have you told them not to show off their wealth?"

He Rongtang asked, three people died in Group 2 this time, and Xu Qingyun was very kind and gave them a lot of compensation privately.

He would not take such money, and neither would Li Yuanjie, because those were all his brothers and his subordinates.

"Don't worry, they won't let outsiders know."

Li Yuanjie replied softly, five hundred dollars per person, plus some money given by their second group, so seven hundred dollars per person. This amount of money was not a small amount, and if they used it frugally, it would be enough for their future expenses.

Especially since their children are still young, this money can help their children grow up safely.

"Pay more attention to them in normal times. If they encounter any difficulties, we should help them."

He Rongtang nodded slightly. He felt bad too, after all, the person who died was one of his own.

Moreover, it would have been fine if they died at the hands of Japanese spies, but they were beaten to death by the bastards from the Party Affairs Investigation Office. He will remember this grudge and make the Party Affairs Investigation Office pay with blood when there is a chance.

The conflict between the two sides intensified again.

"Team leader, I want to go out and investigate the case."

Li Yuanjie said that they suffered heavy losses in helping Group 4 with the case, and he felt very upset and did not want to stay in the office now.

"Investigate a case? What case?" He Rongtang asked puzzledly.

"Team Leader Xu gave us some photos last time. I want to check the people in the photos. Whether I can find them or not, I will check them first."

He Rongtang suddenly realized that Li Yuanjie was talking about the sketches that the previous four groups had given them.

Because the portraits were not of the real people and could not be exactly like the real people, the four groups gave the photos to all the other groups, but most of them were left untouched.

Just let everyone take a look and pay attention for the time being.

"Okay, I'll give you two people first, go ahead."

He Rongtang agreed immediately. Li Yuanjie wanted to do something, and he couldn't discourage his enthusiasm. It would be good to keep them busy, at least they could forget the pain temporarily.

"Thank you, team leader."

Li Yuanjie thanked him and left. He had already prepared the photo. Although it was not very similar, it was at least a clue.

They had worked with Intelligence Group 4 to use sketches to find people before, so they knew the method.

It is not easy to replenish the intelligence department. Li Yuanjie now has too few staff, and the two wounded are still in the hospital and unable to work.

He transferred two people from the other two teams to temporarily help Li Yuanjie.

As for whether he could find the person, He Rongtang didn't hold much hope.

It was difficult to find people for the fourth action team before, he had experienced it personally, and this time it was a vague person. All the people Xu Qingyun gave them were intelligence personnel of the Shanghai Special High Section, described by a Japanese spy and drawn by an American named John.

Li Yuanjie also understood the difficulty and was simply trying to find something for himself to do.

In the afternoon, Lao Liang came to the safe house. Nie Fenglin was able to walk normally, but it was difficult for his body to fully recover. The electric chair had caused him too much damage, and he would never be able to run for a long time in his life.

"Hello, Comrade Nie Fenglin."

After Lao Liang came in, he immediately shook hands with Nie Fenglin. Nie Fenglin had been having a very fulfilling time these days. The feeling of having comrades around him was completely different.

"Hello, comrade."

Lao Liang did not introduce himself, and the comrades here did not help to introduce themselves.

Lao Liang's identity needs to be kept secret, and Nie Fenglin will not be allowed to know too much.

"How did the secret agents know your identity and arrest you this time?"

Lao Liang went straight to the point. The previous comrades did not conduct an audit on Nie Fenglin. This was an organizational work that was waiting for Lao Liang to do.

"I don't know. Later I thought of a person. I helped him, but he was too lazy and always asked me to borrow money. I didn't have that much money. It's possible that he reported me out of hatred."

Nie Fenglin was very smart. After being arrested, he figured out the reason. He had never offended anyone else except this one.

"Do you remember his identity and name?"

"Remember, his name is ..."

Nie Fenglin immediately replied that if it was really this person who harmed him, then he would not be forgiven.

The Red Party never offends anyone on its own initiative, but they will never let go of anyone who harms them.

"We will conduct an investigation. Don't worry, we will be able to help you find out the truth."

"Comrade Nie Fenglin, what did the secret agents ask you, and what did you say?"

Lao Liang continued to the next part, while Nie Fenglin shook his head: "They asked me a lot of questions, but I lost contact with my comrades, so there was nothing to explain, and I was unwilling to surrender."

"Did they send you to the hospital immediately after the torture?"

"No, it was several days after the torture that I was sent to the hospital. If I hadn't gone to the hospital, I might have died."

He was seriously injured before and had a fever for several days. If he wasn't sent to the hospital, he might really die.

"In a few days?"

Lao Liang was experienced and instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he continued to ask, "What did they ask you in the hospital?"

"They asked me some questions, but the questions were very strange. They asked me to tell them what they wanted, as if they believed I knew something. Then they tried to bribe me with money, one hundred gold bars..."

"One hundred gold bars."

Lao Liang was stunned. Is the Party Affairs Investigation Office crazy, or do they have too much money and nowhere to spend it?

Nie Fenglin was just a guerrilla comrade, and not an instructor. He just did ordinary political work.

The spy actually gave him a hundred gold bars?

"By the way, the one who came was their section chief. I heard them call him that several times."

Nie Fenglin added again, and Lao Liang was stunned. Tan Xianglin personally brought money to bribe Nie Fenglin?
They know who the section chief of the Party Affairs Investigation Department is.

"I didn't ask for money. The section chief said he knew I wanted to help more people, so I asked him to exchange the money for food to help the disaster victims."

"Have they provided relief to the disaster victims?" Lao Liang asked hurriedly.

"Yes, I asked reporter Hu to be a witness. Reporter Hu is a very conscientious reporter in Nanjing. I talked to him. Later, they brought reporter Hu back and showed me the disaster relief photos. Reporter Hu told me personally that they did distribute food to many people."

Lao Liang was even more confused. The Party Affairs Investigation Office obviously attached great importance to Nie Fenglin, otherwise they would never do this.

But according to what Nie Fenglin said, he was the comrade who had lost contact with the guerrillas and knew nothing. He was able to withstand the punishment purely because of his faith.

"Comrade Nie Fenglin, please tell me everything they said to you, as much as you can remember."

Lao Liang asked again, and Nie Fenglin didn't think much about it and told Lao Liang everything that Tan Xianglin had said to him.

Tan Xianglin asked him more than once and specifically said that as long as he was willing to ask, he could give him a lot of money, high-ranking officials, generous salaries, beautiful women, etc. As long as he was willing, it would be within his reach.

This is clearly a tactic used by spies to target their important comrades.

But Nie Fenglin doesn't meet any of the requirements.

Could it be that Nie Fenglin was lying and he actually had an important identity, but he just didn't believe them?
Lao Liang doesn't know, he must report this matter.

As for Nie Fenglin's identity, it still needs to be verified by the organization.

"Comrade Nie Fenglin, thank you for your cooperation. I'm leaving now."

After asking all the details, Lao Liang got up. When he went back, he always felt very strange.

First, the attitude of the Communist Party spies, and then the mysterious kite.

Feng Zheng did not show up, but sent a note asking them to save people. It was obvious that Feng Zheng knew everything about Nie Fenglin.

From the current perspective, Feng Zheng is trustworthy, and Nie Fenglin is also trustworthy.

The injuries on Nie Fenglin's body were real, and there was nothing abnormal after he was rescued. His comrades said they wanted to send him away from Nanjing, and Nie Fenglin was very happy.

He couldn't stay in Nanjing.

"Minister Liang, what you said is very important. I will go back and report immediately."

Lao Liang and Xiao Wu met again. Xiao Wu looked solemn. He had the same idea as Lao Liang that Nie Fenglin might not have told them the truth.

Why not say it?
There is only one possibility, he is holding a very important secret, one that cannot be told to anyone.

They can understand this. There are some secrets that really cannot be told or even mentioned even among one's own people.

"Thank you, Dr. Huang."

Zheng Jiming got up at the dental clinic. Doctor Huang there was a good doctor and gave him acupuncture, and the toothache was finally relieved.

"Take the medicine on time and rest for a few days. I'll help you extract the bad tooth when you feel better in a couple of days."

Doctor Huang said with a smile, Zheng Jiming nodded slightly, and Zuo Jinfang waited for him on the side.

The cost of treating teeth is not low, several dollars, but Zheng Jiming has the money and can afford it.

Zheng Jiming usually has no place to spend money. Not to mention his salary, he also earns a lot on a daily basis. Every time the house is searched, Zheng Jiming gets a share.

Zheng Jiming was Dr. Huang’s last patient. After seeing him off, Dr. Huang closed the door and went home.

As soon as he got home, Xiao Wu came up to him and recounted in detail Lao Liang's review of Nie Fenglin today, as well as their two guesses.

"Secretary Huang, what do you think we should do?"

"Strengthen the protection of Nie Fenglin and find a way to get him out of the city as soon as possible."

Secretary Huang thought about it for a moment and replied seriously that Lao Liang’s analysis made sense and he also agreed.

It is very likely that Nie Fenglin has an extraordinary identity.

Secretary Huang will not ask about matters involving secrets that they are not allowed to know.

"Yes."

Xiao Wu replied that Nie Fenglin really had a big secret and it was indeed not suitable for him to stay in the city any longer, and he must be sent out of the city as soon as possible.

The check-ups have been a little relaxed these past two days, and Nie Fenglin's injuries have recovered very well. After helping him disguise himself, we can find an opportunity to send him away.

To strengthen protection, we don’t need to send people to the safe house, but to deploy more people nearby.

It can add more manpower inside the safe house and easily attract attention.

Unfortunately, Secretary Huang has no way to report it now. He has lost contact with the organization during this period. What he needs most now is a high-power radio, which can be placed in his dental clinic.

There is a suitable hiding place there. At the same time, dentistry usually consumes a lot of electricity, which can hide the power consumption of high-power radio stations.

It's a pity that he couldn't buy such a radio station even if he had money.

The Communist Party’s control is very strict.

In Shanghai, Ma Xiangshun sees off two customers.

These two were big customers, and they purchased things worth thousands of dollars at one time.

They have more than one such big customer.

"Has the United States replied to the telegram?"

After closing the door and going home, Ma Xiangshun asked Xu Fuzhong, they had a clear division of labor, one in charge of internal affairs and the other in charge of external affairs.

"I just replied to the telegram. Look."

Xu Fuzhong took out the overseas telegram and showed it to Ma Xiangshun.

"Great, let them ship the goods immediately, our goods won't last long."

Their goods are selling very quickly. Half of the goods that Xu Fuzhong personally bought last time have already been sold.

This time they sent the goods via ocean remittance and had the United States ship the goods.

It would be a waste of time to make a separate trip unless you need a lot of goods.

In addition to their goods, a batch of medicines was purchased this time.

The medicine that the young master asked them to bring last time sold surprisingly well. It was all sold out in just a few days, and people still want more.

Especially the sulfonamide, which is sold at a very high price.

Since they can make money, they can order more. They can sell the goods once they arrive in Shanghai and don’t have to worry about losing money.

The only concern is the transportation of goods.

"Delivery from the United States is too slow. It would be great if we could open our own factory in China to produce these things."

Xu Fuzhong sighed, while Ma Xiangshun shook his head helplessly: "It's difficult. They won't give us the technology, and we don't have that much money to open a factory."

They can only import many things, and it is difficult for them to produce them independently.

Especially things like stockings, although they don’t look very big, they have quite high technical content. It is said that the chemical industry is also used. Their traditional technology cannot produce such thin and comfortable stockings, so they can only buy them.

"I'm just saying. I'll go transfer the money tomorrow and try to get them to deliver the goods earlier."

Xu Fuzhong shook his head and said that he transferred money to more than one factory, but to many factories to spread the risk.

In addition, they left two people in the United States, one Chinese and one American, who would come to urge the transfer after the money was remitted.

In addition, Xu Fuzhong also hired a lawyer in the United States as requested by Xu Qingyun.

The lawyer's fees were not low and he didn't usually do anything for them. Xu Fuzhong couldn't understand why he was given so much money every month for nothing?
But they feel more at ease with the presence of a lawyer.

If those foreign factories take the money but don't deliver the goods, lawyers will go to their door on their behalf.

A new day arrived and Xu Qingyun came to the office early.

The weather is not that hot today and there are a lot of cicadas chirping outside.

In a blink of an eye, he has been in this world for half a year. A lot of things have happened in the past six months, and it seems like a lifetime ago.

"Team leader, we found four suspects in the sub-section."

Dai Jieying came in to report that the investigation into Section 1 had already been carried out. Dai Jieying was previously busy with the matter of traitors in the Transportation Bureau and had temporarily relaxed the investigation into Section 1.

The full name of Section 1 is Asia Department Section 1, which has a total of 27 people, including one section chief and one deputy section chief, and their subordinates are divided into several groups.
