The Spy

Chapter 207 Deputy Section Chief

"I humble my position and take orders."

After a while, Cai Shifeng replied weakly that he had been arrested, which was obviously an order from his superiors. If he disobeyed at this time, it would not do him any good except to show off his ability.

"take away."

Wu Rongfu waved his hand and left with his men.

Cai Shifeng was removed from his post and investigated, and his house will not be searched before the investigation is thorough. This is different from Luan Tianhe, whose guilt is proven to be irrefutable, so there is absolutely no problem in searching his house.

"Brother He, I'm going to go back first. I'll leave Hangzhou to you."

Wu Rongfu said to He Ming with a smile that although the stationmaster was arrested this time because of the order from the director, it was also the achievement of their inspection department.

He wanted to bring Cai Shifeng back for interrogation as soon as possible and convict him.

"Thank you, Chief Wu."

He Ming clasped his fists. Since they were of the same level, he did not salute. Wu Rongfu also clasped his fists.

Wu Rongfu brought his own people, and He Ming sent a few more people to protect him to avoid any accidents on the way. Wu Rongfu must bring Cai Shifeng back alive. This time he did not take the train, but drove back directly.

Hangzhou is not too far from Nanjing and can be reached in one day by driving.

In later times, with the availability of highways, it would only take a few hours to get there.

"Qingyun, let's go to Hangzhou Station."

He Ming told Xu Qingyun that he was very clear that he was just here to take charge and was not the real stationmaster.

As for the stationmaster of Hangzhou station, it is impossible for him to get his turn.

He had no interest at all.

For him, it is okay to be a temporary part-time worker. If he is transferred to Hangzhou to be the station manager, it will be a demotion and a punishment.

Unless Hangzhou is upgraded to a district, or Shanghai is upgraded to a district, his transfer to become the district mayor would be considered a normal transfer.

"Yes."

Xu Qingyun took the order, and a group of people headed to Hangzhou Station in a mighty manner. The action team members who had been hiding in the dark also followed out at this time.

Only a few people are kept secretly to carry out surveillance.

Xu Qingyun made such arrangements before for safety reasons. Hangzhou Station was not under his control, so safety was the top priority.

Cai Shifeng was taken away, He Ming served as the station chief, Luan Tianhe was arrested, and the action team was controlled by Xu Qingyun. It was equivalent to that the Hangzhou station was completely under their control, and there was no need to keep so many people in secret.

His main mission this time is to find the traitor, and his mission will not be completed until the traitor is found.

He Ming also understood this, but even if the traitor was found out, he could not leave. He had to wait for the director to send a new stationmaster.

All the people above the rank of captain at Hangzhou Station were assembled, and Xu Qingyun read out the appointment of the director.

Only then did they realize that not only Luan Tianhe was in trouble, but even the stationmaster had been arrested. It seemed that the higher-ups were extremely dissatisfied with their Hangzhou station and wanted to force it to be rectified.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, especially those who previously belonged to Cai Shifeng, all of them were now very cautious.

"Stationmaster He, could you please say a few words?"

"Okay, I'll just say a few words."

He Ming nodded and said it was simple. It was indeed simple, just a few words.

"The director is very dissatisfied with the work of the Hangzhou station, and sent Xu Qingyun and me to rectify it. From now on, everyone must fully cooperate and not hide anything, otherwise you will be punished by military law. This meeting is adjourned."

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone waited until He Ming and Xu Qingyun left before daring to leave.

Things have changed at Hangzhou Station and they don’t know what the future will be like.

Some people thought that He Ming would stay and be the webmaster, and they were thinking about how to take advantage of the new webmaster's arrival to show their courtesy and become the new webmaster's man.

With so many people from the Operations Department coming this time, it’s no wonder they thought He Ming stayed.

People without vision are destined to have a bleak future.

"Qingyun, go for it without worries. I will punish anyone who dares to slack off or conceal anything."

After the meeting, He Ming called Xu Qingyun to his office. Now they have the final say in Hangzhou Station. Although Xu Qingyun does not hold any position in Hangzhou Station, he actually has great power. With He Ming's support, he is equivalent to exercising the power of the stationmaster.

"Thank you, Chief He. Don't worry, I will find out the hidden dangers in Hangzhou Station as soon as possible."

Xu Qingyun smiled and thanked him. He Ming knew his mission best. The first priority was to find out the traitors. They could not have any enemy spies among the troops.

This is a special order from the Director.

The second thing is to identify other hidden dangers in Hangzhou Station. As for the future of Hangzhou Station, that is the concern of the new stationmaster, and He Ming doesn't care.

"Okay, you and I will work together to sort out Hangzhou Station as soon as possible."

With He Ming's support, Xu Qingyun's investigation became much easier. The first step was to question everyone in the intelligence team, including those involved in previous leaks.

There were more than 40 people in the intelligence team. Xu Qingyun questioned them one by one. Those with problems should be dealt with, especially Luan Tianhe's confidants. It was impossible for these people to stay any longer. Even if there were no major problems, they would eventually be exiled.

Their master had committed such a serious crime, there was no way they could stay out of it.

A group of people are destined to be unlucky this time.

"Team leader, the intelligence team has a lot of problems."

In the evening, Xu Qingyun called a meeting of his people, and Fang Laibao spoke first.

Today, Xu Qingyun, Fang Laibao, and Zuo Jinfang will jointly question the members of the intelligence team. Each of them only needs to ask a dozen questions. Xu Qingyun alone would not be able to finish all the questions in a day.

“It doesn’t matter if there are many problems. Just find them and clean up what needs to be cleaned up.”

Xu Qingyun sighed slightly. After asking today, they did find a lot of problems.

Following the example of his superiors, Luan Tianhe is obsessed with money, and one can imagine the behavior of his subordinates.

They were not bold enough to sell intelligence to the Japanese, but they did a lot of other things, such as oppressing the people and framing others.

Luan Tianhe can make money using this trick, and so can they.

The subjects are ordinary people with no background.

In this era without online public opinion, many people act without scruples, and there are several people who have lost their lives.

Xu Qingyun must investigate all these cases thoroughly.

"Team leader, Qu Yingwen must be killed. He has at least six lives, including a child."

Zuo Jinfang said angrily that today they did not ask the person directly, but asked them to expose each other and talk about other people's affairs.

If you know but don't say it, you will be guilty of the same crime when you are discovered.

The stationmaster and the head of the intelligence team were both arrested. The people in the intelligence team dared not hide anything and told everyone what they knew. This way, the investigation progressed the fastest.

Qu Yingwen is the captain of the first team of the intelligence group and Luan Tianhe's confidant.

He specifically targeted small businessmen.

One of the families had a young daughter who caught his eye. The family was unwilling to let their daughter be a mistress, so he framed them and arrested the entire family.

Qu Yingwen had no scruples about doing this, and many people knew about it.

In the end, that family was brutally murdered by him, and as for their daughter, he sold her after he got tired of her. He was worse than an animal.

Such people cannot be appeased unless they are killed.

They are even worse than the Japanese.

When Zuo Jinfang was in Tianjin, he knew a lot about the atrocities committed by the Japanese. What Qu Yingwen did was no less than those of the Japanese.

"Has the girl been found?"

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask. He knew about this matter and someone on his side also told him about it.

Qu Yingwen never concealed anything and was even proud of it. When questioned, many people told him about his story.

"Found it. I've brought it back. It's tragic."

Zuo Jinfang immediately replied that after asking about this matter, they sent people to look for the girl who was sold, and Zuo Jinfang had already seen her.

The little girl is not very old now, but she has been tortured beyond recognition and is almost becoming a fool.

She had to take off her clothes when she saw them. Qu Yingwen did the same to her before. If she didn't take off her clothes, she would be beaten immediately.

"brute."

Zheng Jiming said bitterly that he did not ask any questions today, but he was the one who brought the girl back and knew her appearance best.

"The little girl didn't dare to tell the truth. I'm asking someone to comfort her. She was still crying when I came here just now."

Zuo Jinfang added that the little girl had thought about running away, but she was a weak woman, where could she go?

It's especially miserable after being sold.

If you dare to escape, you will not only be beaten, but also starved, and your whole body will suffer even more painful torture.

After a long time, she became completely numb and dared not trust anyone.

"Jiming, take him to see Qu Yingwen and torture him in front of her to make her feel completely at ease."

Xu Qingyun suddenly said that he knew what the little girl's heart was about. She hated Qu Yingwen the most. When she saw Qu Yingwen being tortured, she would immediately tell her about her past experiences.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiming took the order and left, while Xu Qingyun continued to discuss other people with Fang Laibao and others.

The crimes of others were not as heinous as Qu Yingwen's, but they were also not less heinous.

There are six people to be killed, including two captains.

The remaining captain was not spared either. He also committed a crime, but his crime was not punishable by death. However, he would definitely be imprisoned for more than ten years.

Cai Shifeng is completely finished. Although many things were concealed from him, as the stationmaster, he turned the Hangzhou station into a disaster and his crime is punishable by death.

Virgo will not forgive him.

One can imagine the reputation of the Military Intelligence Department in Hangzhou Station now. Not to mention investigating the case, if they go out, I'm afraid someone will take the initiative to leak the information to the Japanese.

Xu Qingyun guessed correctly. When he was in the meeting, Matsumoto was in the section chief's office.

"Section Chief, it has been confirmed that He Ming is now also the station chief of Hangzhou Station. Cai Shifeng and Luan Tianhe have been arrested, and Xu Qingyun has arrived in Hangzhou."

Matsumoto lowered his head and spoke carefully.

Something happened at Hangzhou Station. Leng Minghai was under control and failed to send out the news in time. Matsumoto sent a signal to Leng Minghai, but he did not come out. These situations were learned through other channels.

What happened at Hangzhou Station was a big thing, and many people knew about it.

"Is there a chance to get off the phone?"

Kenta Ouchi frowned. Matsumoto Jun's plan was indeed successful, and he lured Xu Qingyun from Nanjing to Hangzhou.

But the current situation is not what they thought, it can even be said to be completely beyond their expectations.

What they wanted was for Xu Qingyun to bring a few people here. If he found out about Luan Tianhe or Cai Shifeng, they could even send someone to notify them and ask them to cooperate with them to assassinate Xu Qingyun.

Now, Cai Shifeng and Luan Tianhe have both been arrested, and He Ming is appointed as the station chief of Hangzhou Station, which means that the station has fallen under the control of the Military Intelligence Headquarters.

Xu Qingyun is actually safer inside Hangzhou Station.

"Not yet."

Matsumoto Jun shook his head. Plans cannot keep up with changes. The current situation was something he had not expected before. Although they knew Xu Qingyun was in Hangzhou, they had no chance.

There are too many people around Xu Qingyun, so there is no hope at all for a forceful attack.

If Xu Qingyun didn't go out, they really would have no chance.

"First, find a way to keep an eye on them and look for an opportunity to take action."

Ouchi ordered that since Xu Qingyun had arrived in Hangzhou, he would not give up and would look for a suitable opportunity to kill Xu Qingyun.

"Hay."

Matsumoto took the order and left. He needed to arrange personnel and keep an eye on Hangzhou Station first.

He misses Leng Minghai a little bit now.

Before, he was dissatisfied with Leng Minghai in every aspect, thinking that he was not a qualified inside player and wanted to replace him.

Now that Leng Minghai is gone, he has no idea about the situation inside Hangzhou Station. Instead, he remembers Leng Minghai's kindness. With him around, at least he can know the current situation inside Hangzhou Station. It is difficult for him to find out at this time.

He Ming issued a gag order, and Xu Qingyun was investigating. No one in the Hangzhou station dared to say anything at this time, not even family members dared to speak out.

I was afraid that I would speak too quickly and bring myself into great disaster.

Two days later, Hangzhou station.

The members of the intelligence team were gathered together. Now there are only thirty people, and many of them have been arrested.

The rest of the people were also worried, not knowing what their fate would be.

All three captains were wiped out. Those who were arrested had a common characteristic, which was that they were usually arrogant and had done a lot of bad things.

"According to our investigation, you are behaving normally."

Xu Qingyun said calmly that it was still normal. It was not that they behaved well, but compared with those who were arrested, they were not so excessive.

Almost all of them take bribes or accept gifts.

The Military Intelligence Department supervises the military and police, and they are in the intelligence group. When they encounter problems, people give them gifts or even ask them for help, such as rescuing people from the police station.

If it’s not too excessive, Xu Qingyun won’t pursue it.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Especially now, if we really want to strictly follow the requirements, no one in the intelligence team will be left behind.

"Now I will ask you again, have you concealed anything before? If so, it's not too late to speak up. If you don't speak up now, you will never have another chance in the future."

Xu Qingyun continued, this was an ultimatum.

Thirty people looked at each other, and finally all shook their heads.

Luan Tianhe has been arrested, and they didn't do anything wrong in the past, so there is no need to hide it. Even the stationmaster has been arrested. Everyone knows that the headquarters is serious this time, so how can they dare to hide it?

"Since no one has said anything, the matter of exposing others ends here. Now I will ask you some questions, and everyone must answer honestly."

Xu Qingyun continued to ask questions, not individually, but as a group.

This time they were asking about the previous leak and who knew about it.

The last leak was when Xu Qingyun was investigating Japanese spies in Hangzhou in Nanjing and asked their Hangzhou station for help. As a result, the Japanese spies immediately got the news and wanted to evacuate.

Fortunately, he had spotted the person in advance, otherwise one of them would have escaped.

It's been several months since the incident happened, and some people may not remember it clearly. Let them talk about it together so that we can fill in the gaps.

If there really is a traitor inside, he can be exposed by others and caught on the spot.

However, based on previous investigations, the possibility of there being a traitor in the intelligence group is not very high.

Asking this one last time is also to ensure that the direction of the investigation is not wrong.

Xu Qingyun asked very detailed questions, and after asking, he asked everyone to speak one by one. If anyone had something to add, they had to raise their hands before speaking.

If they can replenish the resources and catch the traitor, it will be considered a meritorious service. Xu Qingyun will help them to gain credit and even help them get promoted.

There were some things Xu Qingyun didn't say so clearly. After all, he had no say on who would be the team leader or even the group leader in the future. But if Miao Feng really came to Hangzhou to be the stationmaster, his recommendation would indeed play a certain role.

The group questioning lasted a long time, and it took Xu Qingyun half a day to finish all the questions.

With their additional information on the previous case, Xu Qingyun soon understood the true situation.

After receiving the order, the Hangzhou station did conduct an investigation, but it was very chaotic. The intelligence team did not have enough people, so they mobilized the action team. Fortunately, they still knew the most basic principles of confidentiality and did not tell the action team all the people who needed to be verified.

"You guys go back first, stay in the station for now, and wait for orders."

After asking all the questions, Xu Qingyun asked them to return to the office and these people could not leave for the time being.

However, through questioning, Xu Qingyun roughly judged that they did not have big problems and the crimes they committed were minor, so he would not pursue them and could keep them as his helpers.

He Ming is the most leisurely at this time.

He was the acting stationmaster and didn't have to investigate any cases. He tried Hangzhou specialties every day and also went to visit the West Lake.

In addition, he contacted important military and political figures in Hangzhou and accepted their invitations to banquets.

Especially the police station, they also thought that He Ming would stay in Hangzhou, and gave He Ming a lot of gifts.

He Ming accepted all of these with a smile.

In Nanjing, in the interrogation room of the Military Intelligence Department, Cai Shifeng sat on a chair, not daring to look up.

After being caught, Cai Shifeng was thrown into jail, and was only interrogated by the director personally today.

The director sat in the center, Xu Zhanjie and Wu Rongfu stood beside him, just like a three-judge trial.

"Cai Shifeng, Cai Shifeng, you were a fierce general back then. I treated you well, promoted you from lieutenant colonel to colonel, and handed over the Hangzhou station to you. Is this how you repay me?"

The director slammed the table. Xu Qingyun sent someone to deliver the situation of the intelligence team of Hangzhou Station. It would have been better if he hadn't read it. After reading it, his blood pressure rose immediately and he almost fainted.

He didn't expect that Hangzhou Station would be so rotten.

This is because Xu Qingyun only investigated the intelligence team. After verifying the entire site, who knows how many more problems there will be.

"Show him."

The director shouted, and Xu Zhanjie immediately placed the information sent by Xu Qingyun in front of Cai Shifeng.

Cai Shifeng honestly opened it and read it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and shouted in panic, "Director, I didn't know what they did, and I didn't know Luan Tianhe was so irresponsible. He deceived me."

"enough."

The director slammed the table again. Luan Tianhe said in his confession that he did all this without telling Cai Shifeng.

If Cai Shifeng was also so crazy, the director would not come to interrogate him today, but would directly torture him, and then make Cai Shifeng sign and seal, and then take him to the execution ground.

Cai Shifeng should be thankful that he was unaware of this.

"You are the stationmaster, and your subordinates did so much without telling you, but they had no idea. This is dereliction of duty. Because of your dereliction of duty, so many people have been harmed. You deserve to die."

Chu Zuo gritted his teeth and said that he certainly didn't feel sorry for the people, but he was angry because Hangzhou Station had ruined their reputation.

Cai Shifeng lowered his head again and did not dare to read the content below.

Even he wanted to pull out a gun and kill someone after seeing it, not to mention Chu Zuo and others.

He really didn't expect that his men had done so many evil things.

He is indeed guilty.

"Tell the truth about everything you've done."

The director snorted coldly. Cai Shifeng did not dare to hide anything and took the initiative to confess some of the wrong things he had done as the stationmaster.

In fact, it was not too serious. He was the webmaster and had a good family background. He usually accepted some gifts and did not take too much money. Even if he did not take money, his subordinates did, and it hurt him all the same.

The person next to him took notes, and soon he had written several pages.

Cai Shifeng did not achieve any results in the Hangzhou station, but it was not particularly great either. He was purely implicated by his subordinates.

Xu Zhanjie knew clearly that he could not die and the director would not kill him, but although the death penalty could be avoided, he could not escape the punishment of living and would definitely be imprisoned for a period of time.

As for when he will be released, it depends on his luck.

Cai Shifeng was taken away and the whole department was quickly informed of his treatment.

Cai Shifeng, the chief of Hangzhou Station, failed to discipline his subordinates, who repeatedly made serious mistakes without his knowledge. He was removed from his post as station chief of Hangzhou and was handed over to a military court for trial.

As for how long the sentence will be, some estimate it will start from five years, or even longer.

This is the best outcome for him. At least he is still alive and his house has not been ransacked.

As long as there are people, there is always hope.

In Hangzhou, He Ming received orders from the director.

Several extremely heinous criminals in the intelligence team were executed on the spot without trial.

Six people were publicly executed, including Luan Tianhe, at Hangzhou Station. Everyone was allowed to come out to watch the execution to scare them and see who would dare to be so cruel in the future.

It's not that it is not reported, the time has not come.

When the time comes to deal with you, no one can save you.

When Luan Tianhe learned that he was going to be executed, he was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot. He was carried to the execution ground. He wanted to beg for mercy, but unfortunately he couldn't speak.

With a gunshot, Luan Tianhe ended his sinful life.

Everyone at the Hangzhou station was indeed frightened, including Leng Minghai who was brought to watch. He was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats.

He is the most guilty, he is the traitor.

Other people in the intelligence team who have committed crimes will be tried and dealt with. Those who should be sentenced will be sentenced, and those who should be exiled will be exiled. They will not be kept in Hangzhou any longer.

"Team leader, this is the information of all the members of the action team. Last time, only the team leader knew about our mission, but they told their subordinates that we need to ask them before we know the exact number of people."

The Hangzhou station was in chaos. When they asked the Hangzhou station for help, they asked them to keep it confidential. But unfortunately, there was no sense of confidentiality at all.

The captain knew about it and told his men.

Someone even told people from other groups, including general affairs, interrogation, telecommunications, etc.

This caused a lot of trouble for Xu Qingyun in investigating the traitor case.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Luan Tianhe could not find out who the traitor was. If he had this ability, he would not have leaked so much information at the beginning.

"Interrogate them separately. Each person will be in charge of a team. Start with the team leader and continue to let them reveal their stories."

Xu Qingyun ordered that he would personally interrogate the action team leader and deputy team leader.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao and others received the order. The action team has the largest number of people, so it will take several days.

If no traitor is found in the action team, the investigation will be expanded. Xu Qingyun's mission this time is to find the traitor, and he will not leave until he finds one.

"Captain Leng, I ask questions and you answer them. You don't have to answer questions I didn't ask. You must answer the questions I asked truthfully. Do you understand?"

The first person Fang Laibao asked was Leng Minghai. Today they were taken to watch the execution. Fang Laibao, Zuo Jinfang and others were observing the expressions of everyone at the scene.

There is something wrong with Leng Minghai.

But he is not the only one with abnormalities. Many people with guilty consciences have abnormalities. At least a dozen such people were found today.

They will be the focus of the next investigation.

"I see. Please ask."

Leng Minghai's heart beat faster and sweat broke out on his forehead. Fang Laibao used to be the leader of the interrogation team. As soon as he saw his expression, he knew that something must be wrong with this man.

"Who did you tell when you helped us verify our identities last time?"

"My men know everything. They told me everything."

Leng Minghai replied immediately. Fang Laibao looked at him straight, forcing Leng Minghai to lower his head, not daring to look directly at him.

"You are the captain, don't you know the principle of confidentiality?"

Fang Laibao continued to ask, Leng Minghai nodded and then shook his head: "I know, but at that time I wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible, so I told my men."

"Did anyone from your team leave alone at that time, including you?"

"Yes, three people left, namely... I didn't." Leng Minghai replied immediately, and his answer immediately made Fang Laibao discover the problem.

Leng Minghai remembered what happened a few months ago so clearly that he even remembered the name.

When I asked the Intelligence Department before, we needed them to supplement each other to figure out the situation. Why did Leng Minghai remember it so well?

Even after asking the question, he answered it immediately, which showed that he had prepared in advance.

"What did they do?"

Fang Laibao remained calm and continued to ask questions. Leng Minghai immediately told them where they had been and said that he had asked.

It was not kept secret at the time, so why did Leng Minghai ask his subordinates these questions?

The suspicion on him is growing.

Fang Laibao asked a lot of questions again before finally letting him leave, but he arranged for someone to keep an eye on him and secretly observe his situation.

Leng Minghai's team members were quickly called over by Fang Laibao and questioned one by one.

After asking a few people, Fang Laibao found out an important clue. Leng Minghai had also left alone, but not for long. He did not tell the truth just now and lied about this issue.

"Team leader, there is something wrong with Leng Minghai. I want to investigate his family and financial situation."

Before he finished asking questions, Fang Laibao came to Xu Qingyun to report. Now that there was a suspect, they had to conduct a focused investigation. There were so many people at the Hangzhou station, and they had not verified every person before.

over work load.

"Okay, I'll check it out right away."

Xu Qingyun agreed, and he had already asked the team leader and deputy team leader.

The two talked a lot about other people's problems but said nothing about their own. However, letting them expose each other's problems did achieve some results.

Both of them make money through many means.

However, he was not as excessive as Luan Tianhe. The leader of the action team was Cai Shifeng's subordinate in the army, and he was relatively disciplined in his work.

The deputy team leader was recommended by Luan Tianhe, and he is not the same kind of person as the team leader.

The two of them usually fight openly and secretly. Although the team leader is Cai Shifeng's man, Luan Tianhe is the person Cai Shifeng trusts the most. With the help of this relationship, the deputy team leader is not so afraid of the team leader.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao took the order and left. As for the questioning of other people, it was handed over to the rest of their four groups. There were many people in the action team, so all the people brought by Xu Qingyun could participate in the questioning to save time.

Fang Laibao was experienced and the investigation quickly made progress.

Leng Minghai had unexpected wealth, and although he did not deposit it in the bank, he showed it in his life.

For example, he often went to a red house and took care of the top star there.

He also kept a mistress, and the expenses were not low.

The money he usually makes is not enough.

All signs indicated that Leng Minghai was a major suspect. Xu Qingyun immediately reported to He Ming and obtained authorization to search Leng Minghai's home.

Fang Laibao personally led people to search the house.

Not long after, Fang Laibao found Leng Minghai's buried money in the kitchen basement, including a lot of dollars and gold bars.

There are eight gold bars alone.

Last time, Matsumoto Jun gave him five gold bars as a deposit, and all the money was searched out.

"Check immediately to find out where Leng Minghai often goes, what he has done, and what intelligence he has been exposed to before."

After receiving the report, Xu Qingyun immediately gave orders.

He is not Luan Tianhe, nor is he Cai Shifeng. Xu Qingyun has always been detailed in his investigations, making steady progress step by step to ensure that the direction of the investigation is correct and that solid evidence is obtained.

With the correct investigation direction, progress can be made faster.

Leng Minghai had previously mastered a lot of confidential information about the Hangzhou Station, and he had even been to the confidential room.

He was the captain and the people in the confidential room had no doubts.

He didn't say these things either.

Some people also saw him go to the Japanese Concession. This is not difficult to check. Just take his photo and go to the Japanese Concession to ask.

Even the Japanese were asked.

The people they asked were not agents, but other Japanese. As long as they gave them enough benefits, they could easily get the answers.

"Chief He, comprehensive evidence shows that Leng Minghai is very likely a traitor instigated by Japanese spies."

Xu Qingyun came to report to He Ming. He Ming was very happy and immediately stood up: "Interrogate Leng Minghai."

The purpose of interrogating him is to get things straight. If Leng Minghai doesn't tell the truth, torture can be used.

He Ming personally interrogated him.

The operations department is mostly responsible for arresting people, and they don't usually interrogate many people. This time, He Ming also wants to satisfy his interrogation addiction.

Leng Minghai was taken into the interrogation room.

His legs felt weak when he came in. He was being questioned in the office before. Why was he suddenly brought here?

He has worked at Hangzhou Station for many years and is very familiar with the working style of spies.

Being taken into an interrogation room means that there is a certain degree of suspicion, and you may be tortured regardless of whether there is evidence or not.

Thinking of those horrific torture instruments, his body trembled even more violently.

Especially after seeing He Ming, his body trembled even more.

The presence of the acting webmaster in person was definitely not good news for him.

"Leng Minghai, do you recognize these things?"

Xu Qingyun knew from his expression that it would not be difficult to make him confess, so he simply laid out the money he had searched in his house.

When Leng Minghai saw his things, especially the boxes he had packed them in, he stood there in a daze, feeling even more terrified. It was over. The money he had obtained from the Japanese had been searched out, and he had no way of explaining the money.

"No, I don't recognize him."

Leng Minghai replied in a trembling voice. He didn't dare to admit it.

"You searched your home and found this. How dare you say you don't recognize it?"

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head, then suddenly ordered: "Use torture."

"what……"

Leng Minghai screamed immediately, and soon he admitted that the money was his, but he said he had picked it up.

You picked up so many gold bars and dollars, are you trying to trick the kids?
Xu Qingyun ordered to continue the torture, even to use the electric chair on Leng Minghai. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to confess.

Traitors are weak-willed and it is easy to successfully interrogate them.

They are doing it for profit. They were carrying it before because they wanted to stay alive, but now that they see there is no chance, they just want to suffer less.

With his confession, many things came to light.

He had long been instigated by the Japanese to defect. When the Hangzhou Special High Section changed its section chief and intelligence group leader, his relationships were transferred to the new section chief and intelligence group leader.

This so-called leak was indeed a Japanese conspiracy, and the purpose was to lure Xu Qingyun over.

Fang Laibao guessed correctly that the Japanese target was their team leader.

But they were careful, and so many people came that they didn't give the Japanese any chance.

The Japanese will never have such an opportunity again.

He Ming was very happy after finding the traitor, and immediately asked Xu Qingyun to report it.

This is Xu Qingyun's achievement, he won't take it away greedily, but he is here, so he must take his share of the credit.

Xu Qingyun’s mission is not over until he finds Leng Minghai.

Leng Minghai only knows himself and has no idea if there are others. Moreover, the situation at Hangzhou Station needs to be thoroughly investigated and the investigation of all people needs to continue.

However, based on Leng Minghai's confession, Xu Qingyun judged that he was the only insider in the Military Intelligence Department of Hangzhou Special High Section.

On several occasions, Matsumoto was already impatient with Leng Minghai, but he still went to him, and even did not give him money before, but he would make up the money later.

If there was someone else, Matsumoto Jun wouldn't watch Leng Minghai so closely.

There is no best. Those who betray their ancestors will eventually receive the most severe punishment.

In Nanjing, the director is giving a grand reception to people from MI6.

In addition to people from the UK, there are also James and people from Singapore.

MI6's Asia headquarters is located in Singapore.

"Welcome, my friends."

There were quite a few British people, including James and his men, a total of ten people.

There were five people from the headquarters and two from Hong Kong, including their head of Asian intelligence.

MI6 does not attach much importance to this cooperation, but they attach great importance to the whole of Asia. They have many colonies here and need intelligence to protect their interests.

The last time James came over, he said a lot of good things to MI6.

This ultimately led to this exchange.

Now it is still communication, not cooperation.

Virgo is capable and knows what the British want. The reception was very pleasant, and after the meal Virgo prepared valuable gifts for them all.

The next day, when the formal negotiations began, Virgo made many promises.

First of all, the instructors, with a monthly fee of one thousand pounds, made the British visitors very satisfied.

The second is equipment. As long as you name a price, we will take it, including the most advanced monitoring equipment and so on.

Finally, their people were sent to the UK for exchanges, and the British did not need to pay for all the expenses, they paid for it themselves.

Another way is cooperation, and we can declare to the outside world that MI6 is the main force.

Virgo's sincerity finally convinced them to agree to the cooperation.

After signing, Virgo was even happier.

It doesn’t matter how much he can learn from this cooperation. The key is that it has improved his status and even surpassed Xu Laogui.

"Zhan Jie, Xu Qingyun did a great job this time. Find an opportunity to help him get promoted to major."

After the matter was accomplished, the director called Xu Zhanjie to his office. Xu Qingyun had been making great contributions recently, but some of his achievements could not be made public.

For example, this cooperation and the investigation of traitors in Hangzhou station.

He will not report these, so there will be no record of Xu Qingyun's achievements in the National Defense Department.

"Thank you, Virgo."

Xu Zhanjie was overjoyed, realizing that the director was thinking of Xu Qingyun's contribution. Fortunately, Xu Qingyun had made many military achievements before, and if he could do that one or two more times, his promotion to major would be a natural outcome.

With so many contributions, if it were someone else, he would have been promoted long ago.

The main reason why Xu Qingyun joined the team was that he was late and had been there for too short a time, so every promotion required special approval. However, being able to overcome the hurdle of becoming a colonel would be of great help to his future.

Xu Qingyun is the team leader and should have been a colonel. His current rank of captain is indeed a bit low.

There is also Fang Laibao, who has never dared to be promoted to colonel because Xu Qingyun did not get promoted.

This time I helped them do it.

Fang Laibao does not need special approval. He has made sufficient contributions, so he can just submit a report when the time comes.

"Captain, he's gone to deliver intelligence, and we've got our eyes on the dead letter box."

Dai Jieying came to the department and reported to Yan Ming. The team leader and deputy team leader were not there, so Yan Ming was now in charge of all matters of Intelligence Group 4.

He is Xu Qingyun's confidant and has made many contributions before. He has the highest status among the three captains.

"Great, keep an eye on him. What happened last time must not happen again."

Yan Ming replied happily that they had caught Lu Peiyong in the Asia-Pacific Division last time, but he was not a Japanese spy but an intelligence dealer.

After a period of investigation, they finally found the suspect and used intelligence testing to find that the traitor had indeed taken the bait and placed intelligence in the dead mailbox.

This time they must be cautious. Not only must they find the Japanese spy, but they must also use the Japanese spy to find out his superiors.

And then the entire Japanese spy group was caught in one fell swoop.

Yan Ming had good news, but Li Yuanjie from Group 2 was very depressed.

Based on the portrait, he has found Japanese spy suspects, and not just one, but two.

Among the people Iijima sent to Nanjing was the person in the portrait, but he was unlucky because both of them were observers.

At this time, the Japanese spy observer had no mission at all and was simply lying in wait.

He watched for so many days but got nothing.

"Team leader, do you want to arrest someone?"

Li Yuanjie returned to the office and made the same report. He had been keeping a close eye on them these days, and had not been able to eat or sleep well, but the Japanese spies had not made any move, which gradually wore away his patience.

"Keep an eye on it. What's the point of catching them now? If you are going to catch them, just catch more."

He Rongtang glared at him. Intelligence work requires patience. It has only been a short time, just over half a month. It will take at least a month to find more clues about Japanese spies. Then it will be a great achievement.

If these two people are low-level intelligence agents, it would be difficult to gain any follow-up results after they are captured.

"Yes, team leader, I will continue to watch."

Li Yuanjie hurriedly responded that if the team leader did not agree to arrest anyone, then they could only keep an eye on him first.

Fortunately, they are Japanese spies. If we keep an eye on them, we may gain greater rewards in the future. We really cannot be impatient now, as we cannot get what we want in a hurry.

It's a pity that Team Leader Xu is not here. If he were here, he would go over to learn from him, which would have allowed the Japanese spies to take action faster.

In Hangzhou, Xu Qingyun's investigation into the action team is nearing completion.

The action team had more people than the intelligence team, but fewer people committed crimes. Only six people were arrested, including the team leader and deputy team leader.

They didn't do so many things that angered God and people, so there was no need for public execution.

But we can also see from here how rotten the Hangzhou station was. It was not unjust for Cai Shifeng to be arrested. If he had not been involved, he would have definitely been executed.

After the intelligence group, Xu Qingyun continued to investigate the general affairs, telecommunications and other large groups.

In three days, ten more people were arrested.

The General Affairs Group accounts for eight of them.

They all had big problems, including reselling supplies in the station. No one dared to touch the radio, but they sold a lot of other things, including radio accessories.

These people did not care about anything in order to make money, and they were eventually punished.

Not to mention rebuilding the entire Hangzhou station, several team leaders will have to be replaced anyway. No matter who takes over, at least they can get the job done well and arrange their own people to take over.

The headquarters quickly appointed the stationmaster of Hangzhou Station.

Miao Feng's efforts were rewarded and he was officially appointed as the station chief of Hangzhou Station and was allowed to bring ten people to take up the post.

The main reason is that many people were arrested at the Hangzhou station, and he was needed to bring more people to set up the Hangzhou station team as soon as possible.

At Hangzhou Station, Xu Qingyun and others greeted us at the door.

Miao Feng did not take the train, he drove here directly. Xu Qingyun can drive these cars back when the time comes. There are cars at Hangzhou Station, so there is no need to occupy the headquarters' cars.

"Congratulations, Stationmaster Miao."

He Ming was also there. He was the section chief at the headquarters and Miao Feng was the deputy section chief. He came out to greet them in person, giving Miao Feng enough face.

"Thank you, Chief He. You are welcome."

Miao Feng has not officially taken over yet, but he came with an appointment letter, and once it is read out, he will officially become the stationmaster.

At this time, it was not an overstep for him to invite He Ming and others as the host.

After entering the station, everyone gathered in the conference room. He Ming read out the appointment from the headquarters, and Miao Feng officially became the stationmaster of Hangzhou Station.

Miao Feng's coming to Hangzhou was a happy occasion for everyone. Although Miao Feng's abilities were slightly lacking, he was very steady. Virgo did not expect to achieve many results in the Hangzhou station, but at least he would not lose to the Japanese.

"Qingyun, thank you very much this time."

After the meeting, Miao Feng was the first to call Xu Qingyun to his office.

Before coming to Hangzhou, he had looked for Xu Zhanjie to try to get Xu Qingyun to come over. If Xu Qingyun was willing to come to Hangzhou with him, he would give Xu Qingyun the position of deputy station chief.

Unfortunately, he failed.

There is no way Xu Zhanjie would let them go, and Chu Zuo would not agree to that.

Miao Feng had no choice but to give up, but he still selected two from Intelligence Group 4 among the ten people.

The people in Intelligence Group 4 have been trained and have outstanding abilities.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the Yan Ming he wanted.

Yan Ming seemed to know what he was thinking, and went to find Xu Zhanjie in advance, expressing that he was unwilling to leave as the team leader.

He also wants Fang Laibao, and Fang Laibao is the most suitable person to be his intelligence team leader.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhanjie also did not agree.

Fang Laibao gave up his position as the head of the interrogation team in Tianjin and followed Xu Qingyun. Although he is the head of the interrogation team, it is impossible for him to go to Hangzhou to be the head of the intelligence team. Miao Feng cannot touch the head, deputy head and team leader of the fourth intelligence team, and he can choose any other team.

Miao Feng had no choice but to finally select a deputy team leader, two team leaders and some other ordinary team members.

He is at the deputy team leader level and will definitely be the intelligence team leader when he arrives in Hangzhou.

But there are many vacancies now, so Miao Feng can easily arrange it.

Xu Qingyun was in great form in the Hangzhou station, taking down four team leaders alone, leaving a lot of space for him.

He is at least better off in Hangzhou than when Wu Shaoshu first arrived in Tianjin.

"Stationmaster Miao, you are too polite."

Xu Qingyun said modestly. Looking at Xu Qingyun, Miao Feng sighed again. This was the person he wanted most, but he could only think about it.

Xu Qingyun is a talented person and it would be best for him to develop in the headquarters. If I really follow him to Hangzhou, it would be a waste of his time.

"I've told the section chief that you should stay and help me for a few more days. Once I've sorted things out, you can leave."

Miao Feng said softly that he had just arrived and needed Xu Qingyun's help. As for He Ming, he could return tomorrow.

However, he will not take everyone away. Xu Qingyun's safety is equally important, so at least forty people will be left here to protect him.

"no problem."

Xu Qingyun agreed immediately. Miao Feng was his old superior and he couldn't refuse the request when he took the initiative.

"Don't worry, the director has not appointed a new deputy section chief. This position is reserved for you. When you reach a certain level, you can be promoted naturally."

Miao Feng continued to say that the director did not plan to arrange a new deputy chief in the Intelligence Department.

But this was something Xu Zhanjie fought for. When Miao Feng left, he wanted to leave the position to his students.

He spent a lot of time and effort on this.

The Intelligence Department is the most important, and the deputy section chief is his student, so it is not easy for the director to agree. Fortunately, Xu Qingyun's performance is indeed excellent. The director agrees that Xu Qingyun is a bit of a waste of talent to be the team leader, and finally agreed to Xu Zhanjie, and the deputy section chief position is reserved for Xu Qingyun first.

Xu Zhanjie was very happy, but unfortunately, he couldn't guess what Chu Zuo was thinking.

Xu Qingyun is a sharp sword. It's okay for him to be a deputy section chief, but the director will not let him stay in the Intelligence Department for too long.

In two years at most, once Nanjing is stable, he will transfer Xu Qingyun away.

The Intelligence Department will not always be in the hands of their master and apprentice.

This is the instinct of the superior.

"Thank you, Stationmaster Miao. I will pay attention to it."

Xu Qingyun thanked him. It was true that Xu Zhanjie was thinking about him, but he saw things more clearly.

Being a deputy section chief may not be a good thing for him, but he will not give up the opportunity to be promoted.

In Nanjing, He Rongtang and two other people gathered in a restaurant to eat.

Normally they were in competition with each other, so they seldom sat together to eat like this.

"I don't believe it. Don't you have any ideas?"

He Rongtang asked first. The other two knew very well what he was talking about. Miao Feng resigned and the deputy section chief position became vacant. It would be a lie to say they were not tempted.

There is one job for each person. If they miss this opportunity, it will take them a long time to get promoted.

Only by becoming a deputy section chief can one truly be considered a senior executive in the department.

Only those at the section level are qualified to be called senior officials, and they are just middle-level officers.

"Don't you have any ideas?"

Hou Yigong asked back, He Rongtang was a team leader like them.

"I'm different from you. I was promoted later, so I definitely won't get a chance this time."

He Rongtang smiled and shook his head. He was very open-minded. He was the successor to Yang Wenxu's position and had only been in office for a few months. He was no match for these two veteran team leaders.

"I can't do that either. Xu Qingyun is too good."

Xiang Jason sighed. If it were in the past, he would definitely find a way to get promoted.

It’s a pity that a monster appeared in their intelligence department.

After Xu Qingyun came to the Intelligence Department, his performance was so outstanding that he overshadowed all of them and made Xiang Jiesheng lose the desire to compete with him.

"I would like to fight for it, but I don't have that much money."

Hou Yigong smiled bitterly and said that it would cost a lot of money to be promoted to deputy section chief. The director, the section chief, Secretary Qi and so on, all of them needed to be taken care of.

He really doesn't have that much money.

"This is perfect. We won't fight for it and give it to Xu Qingyun. At least he can remember our good deeds."

He Rongtang had the least psychological burden. He usually kept a low profile when interacting with Xu Qingyun, so he could completely accept Xu Qingyun becoming his leader.

However, Hou Yigong and Xiang Jiesheng were a little unwilling.

A team leader transferred from another place, who joined so late and is still a captain, actually made them unable to even muster the desire to compete.

There is nothing they can do but accept it.

This matter was inherently strange. When a deputy section chief resigned, normally the department would spread the word and let them compete.

No one passed the message to them.

The attitude of the higher-ups is already very clear; the candidate for deputy section chief has been chosen, and it’s not them, so they don’t have to think about it any further.
