The Spy

Chapter 213 Official Promotion
After Xu Qingyun left, Yukio Mikami opened his eyes again.

This young man has wisdom that is inconsistent with his age. He is very scary. He can test out the desired result with just a few words. What Xu Qingyun said is right. He has his own mole who has rebelled. He doesn't speak. In addition to protecting his subordinates, he also protects these people.

Those who can allow him to personally come forward to instigate rebellion are all very important people.

He doesn't have many moles on his hands, and has only instigated three people to rebel in the past seven years.

He is the team leader, and it is not just an ordinary person who would do this.

At this point he no longer had much hope, as Shanghai would not contact him regularly until tomorrow, and it would be easy for him to be exposed if he went offline without being aware of the situation.

It can be said that his team was completely defeated.

No wonder the chief section chief had ordered this man to be killed. Kawashima was incompetent and failed to eliminate this hidden danger to the empire, causing them great losses.

The new section chief, Kitagawa, is even worse and has not taken any action so far.

The Shanghai Special High Police was handed over to them, which was the sorrow of the empire.

Mikami was not thinking about his own life, but that his team was very important. They could collect a lot of important information now, and they would be even more useful during the war.

Now that they have all been arrested, it is a huge loss to the empire.

Unfortunately, he could do nothing now, and praying was of no use. He had prayed before, but his men were still caught one by one.

"Team leader."

Seeing Xu Qingyun coming back, the people in the command center stood up one after another. After capturing these Japanese spies, the workload of Group 4 was greatly reduced, and now they could take a short break.

Groups one and two are currently conducting an investigation, and all three groups are very active, hoping to find this Japanese spy.

In particular, Xu Qingyun told them that he might be the last Japanese spy.

Every group is determined to take credit for this achievement.

"Sit down."

Xu Qingyun waved his hand. There were also quite a few people from Group 4 outside. With so many people investigating together, Xu Qingyun believed that it wouldn't take long to find the Japanese spy.

The next morning, the Shanghai Special High Section's telecommunications group started up as usual.

There is a special group within the telecommunications group. They are not from the telecommunications group, but belong to the intelligence group. However, they work in the telecommunications group all year round, two people at a time.

The main task is to communicate with undercover personnel, whether it is routine contact or emergency contact. The intelligence sent back by the undercover personnel is basically received by the intelligence team themselves.

The information they sent back is very important, so it must be kept confidential.

This morning is the regular contact time with the Mikami group.

The time is seven o'clock in the morning.

This was the time set by Mikami. He would send the telegram at 7 o'clock. If there was no reply from Shanghai, he would send it again ten minutes later. Regardless of whether there was a reply or not, he would leave for work.

However, since he went undercover, he has never seen a situation where the headquarters did not respond.

Routine contact and reporting of some unimportant intelligence.

This is their normal method of communication.

At 7:03, the intelligence team agent frowned. Usually, the Mikami team would send them a message on time at 7 o'clock. Why didn't they send it after three minutes today?

This phenomenon has also never happened.

"Should we take the initiative to send them a message and ask?"

The intelligence team agent asked his companion, who shook his head slightly: "Wait two more minutes."

According to regulations, they can only send a radio message to inquire if they do not receive a report from Mikami's team within five minutes, but the time has not come yet.

Two minutes passed quickly and the two began to send messages actively.

Sadly, no response.

"Team leader, something might have happened to Team Mikami."

At 7:10, they sent it again, and when there was still no reply, they immediately called Iijima to report.

Iijima hadn't arrived at the office yet and was eating breakfast at home.

"Wait for me."

Without even bothering to continue eating, Iijima immediately got up and drove to the Special Higher Police.

The place where he lived was very close to the Special High Police, which was in the Japanese Concession and only a few minutes away.

"what happened?"

When he saw his men, Iijima immediately asked them what happened in the morning. They were old members of the Special High Section and had been responsible for contacting the undercover personnel in the past.

After Iijima took office, he did not touch them.

The two were feeling uneasy at this time. Strictly speaking, they were not Iijima's people. If something really happened, Iijima might put the blame on them at any time.

"Has this happened before?" Iijima asked again.

He knew Mikami, but had never met him. He only knew that he was a student of the chief section chief. However, the chief section chief had many students, and those who had listened to the chief section chief's lectures all classified themselves as students.

Including him.

There are not many people who can truly gain the approval of the chief section chief, and Mikami is one of them.

"Never."

The two of them shook their heads together, and Iijima's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The undercover team has strict requirements and regular messaging cannot be abandoned without reason. This is a way to report safety to the headquarters.

If something is really delayed, they will give notice in advance, such as sending a telegram in advance to explain the situation.

Unless there is an urgent task, but what urgent task would be performed in the morning?
He knew that Yukio Mikami worked in the Chinese Supervisory Commission as the head of the archives department, and there would not be any urgent tasks for him.

"Come with me to see the section chief."

The situation was urgent, so Iijima didn't have time to think too much and took one of them away. The remaining person called every ten minutes until Mikami responded.

The Mikami Group is very important. It is the ace covert group of the Shanghai Special High Section, more important than the Firefox Group that was exposed before.

If anything happens to this group, they will suffer a huge loss.

"Mikami Yukio?"

Kitagawa was also at home. After hearing what Iijima said, he immediately became restless. They didn't have many undercover groups left in Nanjing. There were only four left in the old group, and the rest were newly sent there who had not yet produced any results.

The last time the Firefox team got into trouble, luckily Firefox was lucky enough to escape with only one Fire Wolf lost.

Now that Mikami cannot be contacted, it is very likely that the entire group has been captured by the Chinese.

"Section Chief, I want to activate the observers immediately and have them investigate the situation."

Iijima whispered that even though they had not been in contact for only a short period of time, they couldn't wait because it was a routine contact and no one knew if anything had happened to Mikami or when it happened.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Beichuan agreed immediately. There was no need to leave the observer alone before. After all, Firefox had escaped and he knew the situation himself.

It’s different now, we can’t get in touch and we have to use observers.

Their observers did not know where Yukio Mikami and his team members were and needed to send them a password.

Fortunately, the observers were disposable and would return to Shanghai after completing their mission, so as not to disclose the situation of the Mikami team members.

"Captain, there's movement."

In Nanjing, Li Yuanjie was lying bored at the surveillance point when his subordinates suddenly shouted.

Li Yuanjie straightened his body suddenly and hurriedly picked up the telescope.

He found two Japanese spies and set up two surveillance points. He was at one of them at the moment. The observer activated by Iijima happened to be the one he was monitoring.

Through the telescope, he saw the Japanese spy answering the phone.

"Find out immediately where the call came from and what they said."

Li Yuanjie was very excited. After surveillance for so long, the Japanese spy finally made a move. Previously, because it took too long, he lost patience and wanted to arrest the person by force.

Now his patience has finally paid off.

From the time he discovered the Japanese spy until today, the spy has never answered the phone. There must be something unusual about today's call.

Li Yuanjie knew his identity. He was not a real Chinese, so no one here would call him.

The person who called him must be his Japanese accomplice.

"Yes."

The men left in a hurry, and Li Yuanjie noticed that the target returned home and closed the curtains.

After answering the phone, why go home?
Li Yuanjie was a little confused, but the homes of the two people he was monitoring had bugs installed, so Li Yuanjie immediately went to the monitoring point and put on the microphone.

The target turned on the radio at home.

When Li Yuanjie heard the song coming from the radio, his eyes lit up. The Japanese spy was receiving the mission.

Previously, Team Leader Xu asked him to investigate all the information about the targets, and he found out that both targets had radios in their homes.

Knowing there was a radio, he installed a bug.

Soon, the voice on the radio changed and began to read out numbers.

It was obvious that the other party was giving him task instructions.

The target must have a code book in his hand, and it is placed in his bookcase.

"Bring all the books, especially the dictionary."

Li Yuanjie shouted immediately. After noticing his bookcase, Li Yuanjie bought the same book and kept it ready at all times.

This was also his response after listening to Xu Qingyun's guidance.

Now it seems that Team Leader Xu is indeed amazing. He has thought of many things in advance, which enabled him to have the correct way to deal with them.

Li Yuanjie was staring at the coachman Wang Yuxin.

It is understandable that a rickshaw driver had a radio at home, after all, it was an old radio, and he liked listening to the radio, so he spent money to buy one.

However, after knowing his identity, Li Yuanjie realized that the radio had other uses.

As for the book, it was even more unusual to see it in the coachman's house.

These were the clues he had discovered before. According to Team Leader Xu's instructions, he did not take any action, and today he finally received the reward.

The team members next to him were taking notes, while Li Yuanjie took out books one by one, flipped through them and compared them.

There are not many books in Wang Yuxin's home, only a few in total. He claimed that he was learning to read, so it was normal to have a few old books, but too many would seem out of place.

After all, being a rickshaw driver is a hard laborer, and learning to read is considered progress. But even if he learns, it is impossible for his house to be filled with books.

"found it."

Li Yuanjie quickly succeeded in the comparison. He suppressed his excitement and began to translate word for word according to the numbers written by the team members.

There was a lot of content. He was given seven addresses and asked to check the situation in these places to see if anyone had been arrested or if the people were still there. After checking, he should call back immediately and then evacuate.

Evacuate?

After translating the last content, Li Yuanjie was slightly stunned. This information could confirm that he was a Japanese spy, but why was he asked to evacuate?

Li Yuanjie felt a sense of familiarity with the orders given to him. Wasn't this the job that the observers they had captured before doing?

Li Yuanjie didn't have time to think too much. He asked someone to keep a close eye on him and immediately ran back to the office to report.

"Team leader, Wang Yuxin has moved. He has received an order. Take a look."

Li Yuanjie handed the translated content to He Rongtang. He Rongtang only read it once and his face tightened slightly.

Li Yuanjie was responsible for keeping an eye on the Japanese spies and did not participate in the case of Group 4, but he participated in the whole process.

The address of the Japanese spy he captured appeared in the intelligence.

The Japanese noticed that something had happened to their people, and sent someone to verify that the person Li Yuanjie was targeting was a Japanese observer.

This information fully confirms Wang Yu’s new identity.

"Is he being watched?"

"I've got your eyes on you. Do you want to catch him?"

Li Yuanjie nodded hurriedly. He Rongtang thought for a moment and immediately stood up: "Come with me to see Team Leader Xu."

The person they were targeting was involved in Group 4's case, so they had to report to Xu Qingyun first.

Not to mention that he had a correct attitude before. Now Xu Qingyun was about to be promoted and no one could stop him. If he made a decision rashly, Xu Qingyun would be in trouble as soon as he was promoted to deputy section chief.

The key is not just the deputy section chief, the section chief will also have opinions about him.

Both the leader and deputy leader dislike him, so he won't be able to stay as team leader for long.

"The person you are targeting is an observer. He just received an order to verify the situation of the person we arrested?"

He Rongtang arrived at the command center and immediately took the initiative to report, and Xu Qingyun asked in surprise.

"Yes, look at this."

He Rongtang handed the translated information over with both hands. Xu Qingyun knew at a glance that what He Rongtang said was completely right. The Japanese did know about Mikami's accident.

The seven locations are the residences of Mikami and his six subordinates.

As for the evacuation mentioned at the end, Xu Qingyun could understand it. He did not expect that the Japanese changed their approach with regard to observers. They no longer had fixed observers, but instead set them up as one-time units.

No wonder they didn’t move when Li Yuanjie was staring at them before.

Taking action only after receiving the mission and evacuating immediately after completing the mission can ensure that the information of the hidden personnel is not leaked.

After these observers return, it is certainly impossible to send them to perform field missions again. They may even be transferred directly back to the headquarters to ensure the safety of the undercover personnel.

"Team Leader He, arrest him immediately."

Xu Qingyun made a decision quickly. They had not yet fully confirmed the last Japanese spy and were still investigating. This Japanese spy was a little different from the previous ones. Although he was the largest one, he was also the most difficult one.

Xu Qingyun suspected that he disguised himself when he went out to deliver intelligence.

"Yes, what about the other one?"

He Rongtang responded immediately. Xu Qingyun thought about it and then shook his head: "Don't touch that one for now. You can go and capture this last Japanese spy. After confirming his identity, you can capture him."

The other person that Li Yuanjie was staring at was most likely also an observer.

The situation at his home was similar to that of Wang Yuxin's. They both had radios and books. However, the Japanese knew that something had happened to Wang Yuxin, so they had at least two days to relax.

Wang Yuxin can't leave today and can only return to Shanghai tomorrow.

Before that, you can keep an eye on it first, and then arrest people if you find anything unusual.

"The last Japanese spy?"

He Rongtang's eyes widened. Seeing Xu Qingyun nod, he immediately said in ecstasy: "Thank you, Team Leader Xu. I will arrange for Li Yuanjie to arrest him right away."

The three teams were all looking for the last Japanese spy, but they hadn't found him for two days. He didn't expect that Li Yuanjie had found out the Japanese spy observer and brought him this benefit.

As expected of Team Leader Xu, he directly gave the credit to them for the achievement of this Japanese spy.

Team leader Xu is very nice.

"Yuanjie, go arrest them immediately, both of them. I will send someone to assist you. Also, please ask Captain Yan to help you when you arrest someone else."

After coming out, He Rongtang immediately gave an order, asking Team Leader Xu to give them the credit for catching the person, as he could not really go and catch the person directly.

The right attitude must be had.

What's more, Yan Ming is really good at catching people, and he has never made any mistakes so far.

Especially the last Japanese spy undercover, who has information about traitors in his hands and must be captured alive. Yan Ming should follow him to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Yes."

Li Yuanjie happily accepted the order. After watching for so long, he was finally going to get something in return.

And this time it’s buy one get one free.

The Japanese spy leader he wanted to catch last time escaped, so it was not bad that he was able to catch two this time.

This time he could finally give an explanation to his brother.

After the two left, Xu Qingyun stood up.

The last Japanese spy was found in this unexpected way, and this time it can be said to be a great victory.

The case can be closed, but the investigation needs to continue.

No matter how many people Mikami personally instigated to defect, they must be found out. Based on the experience in Tianjin, the people who were personally instigated to defect by these team leaders generally have higher status.

They are more harmful.

There is another person that Li Yuanjie is targeting, and he also wants to catch him.

They can't even wait until tomorrow. If Wang Yuxin doesn't call back today, the Japanese will suspect that something has happened to him as well and may withdraw these observers.

However, Xu Qingyun had no intention of touching him until the very last moment.

Now that the Japanese don't know what's happening in Nanjing, it's in his best interest. Wang Yuxin has been activated to carry out an observation mission. What if he gets caught while he's there?

There are various possibilities.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to touch these Japanese spies.

With Yan Ming following, the arrest went smoothly and both of them were caught.

At this time, Wang Yuxin had just left the Supervisory Commission. He came to inquire about Khufu's situation and got accurate information.

Hufu and two other section chiefs were sent to study.

He didn't know why his superiors assigned him this task. First of all, Khufu must be one of their men, and it was possible that he did not show up at the usual time when contacting Shanghai.

If so, there are two possibilities.

First, Khufu was really sent to study, and the study was very strict this time. He couldn't come out, and he couldn't contact Shanghai.

This possibility is most beneficial to them, after all, no one was hurt.

Another possibility is that Khufu may have been arrested and there is no way to contact him. If Khufu is arrested, it means that he is also in danger.

Wang Yuxin was rushing to the second place, hoping to judge whether Khufu was in trouble through the people there, but he was pinned down on the way.

After being arrested, Wang Yuxin stopped speculating. It was obvious that it was the latter case. He rashly came to inquire about Khufu's situation and was targeted by the Chinese. This time, the Shanghai Special High Section killed him.

He had no idea that he had been targeted for a long time.

In the interrogation room, Xu Qingyun looked at the last captured Japanese spy.

As for Wang Yuxin, he will be tried by the people from Group 2. Wang Yuxin originally belonged to them and it was Group 2's case. Xu Qingyun would not compete with them for the credit.

The appearance of the Japanese spy was indeed different from the portrait.

It seems that he can disguise himself. Although his camouflage ability is average, as long as he changes his appearance a little, it will increase the difficulty for them to find him.

Disguise is not difficult, but what is difficult is how to completely transform into another person, which can basically be called disguise.

Xu Qingyun didn't know that one of his predecessors had such ability and was the best in the world.

It’s a pity that the senior was not in the same time and space with him, otherwise they could have had a couple of drinks together.

"Jiming, let's do it."

Xu Qingyun whispered the order, and Zheng Jiming immediately picked up the whip and started whipping him hard.

The captured Japanese spy immediately let out a scream.

His performance was not the best, but it was not too bad either. It took him more than an hour to confess, mainly because he could not bear the pain of the electric chair.

Many Japanese confessed on the electric chair.

It also shows that their training is more rigorous and the quality and level of these agents are not bad.

The Japanese agents were indeed more capable in the early days. After so many years of brainwashing education in Japan, the spirit of Bushido can be said to have penetrated into the hearts of every Japanese soldier.

Of course, they can't brainwash everyone, and some people just don't believe it.

In Shanghai, William is receiving guests.

A guest who came to you on his own initiative.

"Do you really have the information I need?"

The people who came were Japanese. Xu Qingyun had warned him last time not to develop moles among the Chinese. Now he had no source of intelligence from China.

But it was possible with the Japanese. After he spread the word, someone actually came to his door on his own initiative.

"Of course, but it depends on whether the price you offer is appropriate."

The Japanese person on the opposite side was speaking Chinese. It seemed funny that a British person and a Japanese person were communicating directly in Chinese, but it was actually normal.

This is China. The other party doesn't understand English, but has learned Chinese, so it is most appropriate for the two of us to communicate in Chinese.

In fact, William knows a little Japanese, after all, he often deals with Japanese people, but he is not yet at the level where he can communicate freely, so the two of them spoke Chinese directly.

"Don't worry, as long as the information is true, the price I give you will naturally satisfy you."

William immediately replied that it was a good thing for him that the Japanese mole came to him on his own initiative, at least it was another way to make money.

"You go and verify this information first. I want fifty taels of gold. This information is definitely worth the price."

The other party took out an envelope. It was obvious that he understood the intelligence transaction process. The intelligence had to be verified to be true before the money would be given.

"Okay, what's your name?"

"You can just call me Osaka."

The Japanese man opposite stood up and smiled, Osaka?

William knew that there was such a place in Japan. Is there anyone with this surname in Japan?

"Okay, wait for my news, three days at the latest. If your information is worth the price, you can come and get the money."

William also stood up and saw the man out.

The Japanese man named Osaka put on a hat and glasses before going out. After observing the crowd at the door, he left in a hurry.

Only after sending him away did William open the information.

This is a very detailed intelligence report about the Japanese army. After thinking about it, William went into the room and turned on the radio.

He has his own radio station.

He didn't have to do the intelligence verification work and could just leave it to the Chinese. However, the offer he made to the Chinese became two hundred taels of gold bars.

That's what intelligence traders do, they take huge kickbacks in the middle.

"Chief, call from Shanghai."

William and the code book of the Military Intelligence Department are in Xu Zhanjie's hands. William did a good job last time, and the director attaches great importance to him and requires strict protection of this intelligence dealer who was finally won over.

It was translated by Xu Zhanjie himself and contains a lot of content.

After the translation was finished, he was stunned when he saw the content. William developed a new mole among the Japanese so quickly?
And obtained important information about the Kwantung Army?
However, when he saw the price William offered, Xu Zhanjie snorted coldly. Twenty large gold bars, he really dared to ask for it.

"Qingyun, are you free?" Xu Zhanjie picked up the phone on the table and called. The person who was really in charge of William was Xu Qingyun, but the code book was with him.

"Teacher, I'll be right there."

Xu Qingyun arrived very quickly. His case was considered closed, but the cause was Dai Jieying, so Xu Qingyun simply asked Dai Jieying to write the case closing report.

This way her contribution can be greater.

"Kwantung Army intelligence, Osaka?"

After reading the telegram, Xu Qingyun was stunned. William said that he had instigated a new mole named Osaka, who brought a piece of intelligence about the Japanese, but the value of this intelligence was not low.

Is the name Osaka real or fake?
Xu Qingyun knew that there was a city called Osaka in Japan, as well as this surname, and the famous Osaka Division.

The Japanese 4th Division is the Osaka Division. It has strong combat effectiveness and is the unit least affected by the Bushido spirit.

"Teacher, I suggest verifying the authenticity of the information first."

Xu Qingyun whispered that William had made it very clear that he did not verify the intelligence. Anyway, it would be handed over to them in the end, so it would be better to let the Chinese do the verification.

He just needs to take advantage of the situation.

"Okay, I'll get someone to verify it right away."

Xu Zhanjie nodded. The authenticity of the intelligence was very important, and this was a description of the situation in the army. Although it was not particularly confidential, more such intelligence would allow them to understand more about the Kwantung Army.

Unfortunately, the Guo army had no intention of recovering the Northeast, so this intelligence was of little value.

Verification is not difficult. Xu Zhanjie sent a telegram and asked someone to do it, and it had to be done as soon as possible.

William said that he would pay in three days.

"Teacher, this information is not worth that much money. William must want to make some money from it."

After Xu Zhanjie finished writing the telegram, Xu Qingyun immediately said that the telegram written by Xu Zhanjie was sent to the Peking Station for verification.

Beiping Station is closest to the Northeast, and they have undercover personnel deployed in the Northeast.

After verification, you can know whether the information is true or false.

"I know. How much do you think is appropriate to give him?"

Money must be given, the key is how much. After thinking for a while, Xu Qingyun said, "One hundred taels, too little won't do."

He didn't know how much William spent on this intelligence, but based on the intelligence itself, it was indeed not worth the price. William's request was too high and it was impossible for him to be fully satisfied.

There will be many more times to buy intelligence from William in the future, and the Military Intelligence Department is not particularly rich.

"Okay, I'll call him back right away."

Xu Zhanjie agreed and offered one hundred taels of gold. They knew the value of the information William had sold before, and no one was willing to take it except them.

It's not like we're helping them fight back directly, so this kind of information wouldn't be worth much.

But after all, it is an important military intelligence department, so one hundred taels of gold is still worth it.

"Teacher, I'm going back first."

Xu Qingyun stood up and returned to the office. He put William's matter aside for the time being and placed a thick stack of documents in front of him.

They were all people that Mikami had contact with on a regular basis.

If Mikami wants to persuade senior officials to defect, he has only three means: money, leverage, and beautiful women.

Not only him, not only now, but the future is almost the same.

Driven by various interests.

But he must choose the target of rebellion carefully. The safest way to revolt is to have evidence, followed by beautiful women. As for money, he has to give it no matter which method is used.

The beauty was temporarily abandoned by Xu Qingyun.

According to the past investigation of Mikami, there has never been any beautiful woman around him. It is not ruled out that Shanghai sent someone directly, but if there is no contact, it will be difficult to investigate Xu Qingyun. It is better to start from other aspects first.

The handle is the most reliable. Mikami works in the Supervisory Commission, so it is easy for him to get the handle on others.

But people with real status and position cannot be threatened simply by having something on them; there must be a situation that can threaten such people.

For example, this handle can allow him to offend someone he cannot afford to offend.

"Laibao, come to my office."

Xu Qingyun called Fang Laibao and Fang Laibao came over quickly.

His office is right next to Xu Qingyun.

"When you were investigating at the Overwatch Council, how many archives rooms did they have?"

"Just this one."

Fang Laibao immediately replied that the Supervisory Office was not small, but there was only one archive room. Fang Laibao thought for a moment and immediately said, "In addition to the archive room, they also have a confidential room, where the truly confidential documents are stored."

"Confidential room, can Yukio Mikami enter the confidential room?"

"No, but some information will be transferred to the archives room after it expires in the confidential room or becomes unimportant."

Fang Laibao shook his head, and Xu Qingyun knocked on the table. The confidential room was obviously more important than the archives room. If Khufu wanted to incite other people to rebel, he would most likely attack the confidential room.

"Go check the situation in their confidential office right away, especially the person in charge. Make sure you find out everything."

Xu Qingyun ordered that six subordinates had been arrested, and the whereabouts of the three watches bought by Mikami were still unknown, and it was very likely that he gave them to someone else.

The confidential room does need to be checked.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Fang Laibao left in a hurry. He knew that the team leader was investigating the traitor who was instigated by Yukio Mikami himself, and it was obvious that he suspected the confidential room of the Supervisory Commission.

Normally, a Japanese spy would not instigate rebellion in his own unit as that would be dangerous for him.

But the confidential room is not ordinary, and it is possible that Yukio Mikami might have taken action there.

The investigation was not difficult, and Fang Laibao came back to report early the next morning.

"Team leader, the director of the Supervisory Commission's confidential office is surnamed Zhao. He is not young anymore and will leave at the end of the year. He has a son and a grandson. He doesn't go to the office very often and is mostly at home taking care of his grandson."

Director Zhao is going to retire at the end of the year, and now many things are handed over to the deputy director, so he has a lot of free time.

"I checked his family situation. He doesn't have any extra wealth. His son and grandson are all normal. But Deputy Director Shi Liping's son likes to spend money like a drunkard. Shi Liping can't control his son."

"Keep investigating and find out where Shi Liping's son's money comes from."

Xu Qingyun nodded, and Fang Laibao immediately went out to investigate Shi Liping's son.

Before, he mainly investigated the director and deputy director of the confidential office.

Shanghai, Special High Section.

Iijima sat in front of Kitagawa with his head lowered.

"You haven't called yet?"

Kitagawa asked again, they activated the observer yesterday and asked the observer to investigate the situation of Mikami's group, but until the evening, they still didn't receive a call from the observer.

"No."

Iijima shook his head and Kitagawa looked unhappy. The observer's task was only to investigate and report the findings directly by phone, and then leave Nanjing after the report.

The observer didn't call. Did something go wrong, or did he not find any results?

"Section Chief, could it be that he went to too many places and wasted time?"

Iijima explained in a low voice that they were given seven locations scattered throughout the city of Nanjing, and the observers needed to run to all of them, which would indeed take time.

"Activate another observer and have him investigate."

Beichuan said coldly that the observers were not important, they were all old people from the Kawashima period and had no important tasks in Nanjing.

Their value is completely incomparable to that of the Mikami group.

"Hay."

Iijima understood what the section chief was worried about. Instead of returning to the office, he arranged for someone to call the observer.

This time they were not only given their residential addresses, but also their work addresses, and even the addresses of some of the traitors they had recruited.

But the observer was not allowed to ask people directly, but only to go once, to avoid the situation where if something really happened to Mikami's group, he would be watched and not be able to send back any information.

He just needs to verify whether the person is at home or at work.

In the afternoon, Iijima finally received the call he wanted.

"Didn't find anyone?"

After hearing what the other party said, Iijima felt disappointed. There must be one of the seven people at home, but when the observer went to the place, he reported that he did not see any of them.

And the observer provided a very important piece of information.

People from several traitors' units were arrested, and it happened not long ago.

It is very likely that the Mikami team was in trouble as they thought, and that Yukio Mikami betrayed the Empire and exposed all his subordinates.

"Damn Yukio Mikami."

Iijima hurried to Kitagawa's office to report this important situation. In his mind, only if the team leader betrayed him would everyone be in trouble.

The traitors have just been arrested, and it is obvious that they have not been arrested for long.

Why can’t Mikami stand up?
When they learned that Mikami was in trouble, they immediately arranged for other people to be transferred. It would be fine if they could hold on for a day or two.

At the same time, Iijima regretted why he had been taking chances yesterday and did not directly arrange for people to evacuate.

The traitors were just arrested, some even today, but the most likely possibility is that they were arrested yesterday or the day before yesterday.

"Mikami Yukio, he betrayed the trust that the chief had in him."

After hearing the report, Kitagawa was indeed furious. The Mikami group was personally assigned by the chief, and he needed to lead the group well and not allow any mistakes.

Now that it was lost in his hands, he couldn't afford the blame from the chief section chief.

The Mikami group recruited the most traitors, including some important figures.

Seven years of hard work and achievements have all gone to waste.

"Section Chief, how do we report this to our superiors?"

Iijima asked in a low voice, the Mikami team is very important, even more important than the previous Firefox team. If the entire team is lost, the general manager’s anger can be imagined.

"Wait a minute, and activate another observer. Report back after finding out the cause."

Kitagawa waved his hands feebly, while Iijima was stunned.

The observer was alone in Nanjing, without any external aid or help. How could he possibly find out the cause by himself?

Iijima understood that the section chief would not be able to explain to his superiors and would have to sacrifice the observer.

"Hay."

Iijima did not dare to object. The previous observer was the luckiest. He left Nanjing after making the call, otherwise the task would have fallen on him.

Iijima had previously arranged four observers, thinking that the number was enough and foolproof. Unexpectedly, one thing from the Mikami team caused him to activate only three of them.

They had to continue sending people to Nanjing, otherwise they would have no observers available.

In Nanjing, Xu Qingyun is still catching traitors.

We didn't touch them before to avoid being noticed by the Japanese. Now the entire team, except for the people instigated by Mikami, has been exposed. It's time to arrest them.

And the Japanese obviously already knew the situation.

These traitors cannot be allowed to escape.

Yan Ming, Fang Laibao, Zuo Jinfang and Dai Jieying all went out.

There are more than forty traitors to be arrested this time, the largest number.

Not only they themselves were arrested, but also their families.

The Military Intelligence Department will verify the matter and those whose family members are unaware of the situation can be released, but their property will definitely be confiscated and at most they can survive.

If anyone was involved and provided intelligence to the Japanese spies, all participants would not be let off.

The Military Intelligence Department prison was as overcrowded as it was in Tianjin.

More than a hundred people were arrested, and many of them had to be detained together.

Serious criminals will also be held in solitary confinement, such as Mikami.

Fortunately, there are more cells in the headquarters and the area is larger, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people. We would have to lock up some people in other places in the dormitory like in Tianjin.

This house search made the people in the general affairs department very happy.

Yan Ming sold all the things that were easy to cash in, such as jewelry, and the money was naturally kept by them.

There are also some shares and shops. Those that can be sold will be sold, and those that cannot be sold will be handed over to the General Affairs Department.

Even so, the General Affairs Department cannot accept anything. When they deal with these things, they can definitely have a fat meal.

"Team leader, I have written the closing report."

Dai Jieying came to Xu Qingyun's office and said that this case was hers. In fact, only the first two Japanese spies belonged to her, and the rest were all the credit of the team leader.

She now understands how big the gap is between herself and the team leader.

The team leader didn't use his ability to read footprints, but he still found all the subordinates who had not confessed to being Japanese spies, and he did it within just a few days.

If it were her, there would probably be no hope at all.

No wonder Captain Yan admires the team leader so much and has told her many times that following the team leader is the greatest fortune in her life.

That's true. As long as she follows the team leader, she won't have to worry about anything and will do her job seriously. The team leader will never let her down.

The harvest from this house search was huge.

Director Xu Qingyun had already given one hundred and fifty large gold bars, while Xu Zhanjie had given one hundred.

Groups one, two and three have thirty sticks each. Since they helped, Xu Qingyun will not treat them unfairly.

Even the Operations Department sent some this time.

Yan Ming, Fang Laibao, Zuo Jinfang all have them, including Dai Jieying, thirty each.

All the team members received hundreds of dollars in rewards this time.

After giving out so many gold bars, Xu Qingyun still had more than a hundred gold bars left in his hands, which shows how huge the harvest was this time.

There were more than one hundred gold bars, Xu Qingyun kept one hundred for himself and put the rest into the small treasury of Intelligence Group 4.

His gains were the same as Xu Zhanjie's. No one could object to this way of distribution. Even if the Virgo knew, he would protect him.

Whoever makes Virgo gain the most benefits.

In addition to the 150 gold bars sent by Xu Qingyun, the General Affairs Department also sent 50 gold bars, which meant that each director received the equivalent of 200 gold bars. He was now more and more satisfied with Xu Qingyun.

"Well written. Come with me to see the section chief."

Xu Qingyun carefully read Dai Jieying's case closing report. He was mentioned many times in the report, and it was stated that all the follow-up work was due to him.

Chu Zuo knew about this incident, and Xu Qingyun couldn't give all the credit to his subordinates, so he just wrote it like this.

"Have you finished writing the closing report?"

Xu Zhanjie received them very happily. The students not only had strong personal abilities, but also had a keen eye.

Both Yan Ming and Dai Jieying in front of him are excellent and have done a good job.

"It's written. Please take a look first."

Xu Qingyun asked Dai Jieying to submit the case closing report. This time the entire Intelligence Department was in charge of the case, and Xu Zhanjie had made a lot of contributions.

Seeing his name at the front, Xu Zhanjie immediately smiled.

He read it very carefully. The case report was very long. Seven Japanese spies and more than forty moles were arrested, and all their names were included in it.

The observer arrested by Li Yuanjie belonged to Group 2. Li Yuanjie himself had written a closing report and submitted it.

Through interrogation, it was confirmed that the Japanese spy he was monitoring was the observer.

Not only him, but another person too.

The other one has been caught. Before catching him, Li Yuanjie made another gain.

The Japanese spy was activated, and the Shanghai Special High Section asked him to find out the details of the arrest of the Mikami group.

He was caught before he could take any action.

This Japanese spy can be used. It takes time to investigate such things. He doesn't need to go back now. Let him provide false information to the Special High Police in a few days.

For example, Mikami was arrested first, exposing other intelligence agents.

Yukio Mikami never surrendered. I wonder what he would think if he knew that he was identified as a traitor by the Special Higher Police.

Anyway, there is no loss to Xu Qingyun, so just do it.

"Very good, come on, I'll take you to see the director."

After reading it, Xu Zhanjie stood up, while Dai Jieying was slightly stunned.

See you there?
The Director is the director of their Military Intelligence Department, the top leader. There are so many people in the Military Intelligence Department, how many of them can be received by the Director?
I'm afraid there hasn't been one among the captains yet.

If she could get an audience with the director, it would definitely be enough for her to brag about for a while.

"Thank you, Chief."

Dai Jieying thanked him in a hurry. Xu Qingyun smiled. He had been received by the director so many times that he no longer felt anything.

"Well done, these traitors and Japanese spies should be arrested."

The director read the case report quickly. He was happier than Xu Zhanjie. Catching so many traitors would definitely make the old man pay more attention to them.

Who dares to say now that their Military Intelligence Department can only handle internal affairs and not external affairs?
Who has captured more Japanese spies than them, and who has found more traitors than them?
This result is so dazzling that it is enough to shut everyone up.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director."

Xu Zhanjie responded with a smile, and the director looked at Xu Qingyun: "Qingyun, don't worry, the chairman will definitely approve your rank of major this time, so wait for the promotion."

Xu Qingyun did a very good job and there is no problem with his promotion.

As soon as Xu Zhanjie and his men left, the director contacted the headquarters and prepared to report.

He was not willing to wait any longer for such an honorable thing.

Sure enough, when the old man saw the long list of traitors, he was so angry that he threw a lot of things. Fortunately, Xu Qingyun was not there, otherwise he would only sigh.

This is the case now. When the war breaks out, there will be even more traitors.

There are millions of traitors, and it’s impossible to kill them all.

There were certainly some people who were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han, but there were more who were true traitors who helped the Japanese oppress their own compatriots. Some of them did even more excessive things than the Japanese.

All such people deserve to die.

"Yu Nong, you have done a good job on this case. We cannot have any enemies within our ranks. These traitors must be eradicated completely."

After venting his anger, the old man began to reward the director. The director smiled and said, "It is because of your good leadership that these traitorous clowns were exposed."

"No need to be modest. Xu Qingyun is a good guy. His major has given special approval. I will arrange for someone to go and confirm it for him right away."

Xu Qingyun is a descendant of meritorious service, and the Xu family has a close relationship with the Chen family. Xu Qingyun has made such great contributions that there is no problem for him to be promoted to major.

It's just a job-level rank, not a personal rank.

It's really a promotion in military rank, and the old man can't approve it specially. There's no way to make this loophole. The entire Kuomintang has strict control over the military rank system from top to bottom.

Even though Xu Qingyun was about to be promoted to major, his military rank was very low, only second lieutenant.

Or the rank he held after he came in.

"Thank you principal."

The director immediately thanked him and knew that Xu Qingyun's military rank would be no problem. The old man would definitely not refuse such a great achievement.

The old man was angry because of those traitors. The angrier he was, the more attention he would pay to their military intelligence department.

Military Intelligence Service, Intelligence Section.

In the conference room, Director Zhu sat at the first seat, Xu Zhanjie was beside him, and everyone else sat below, with only Secretary Qi standing on the side.

The National Defense Department did not hold back on Xu Qingyun's military rank and approved him readily.

The order came from the old man himself, and it was such a great achievement, so they didn't dare to do anything.

In addition to Xu Qingyun, there is also Fang Laibao.

He was also promoted to major.

He finally made it through the hurdle from lieutenant to colonel.

If he stayed in Tianjin, it would be unknown when he would be promoted.

"Xu Qingyun..."

The director personally read out Xu Qingyun's promotion order to major, and at the same time announced that he was promoted to deputy chief of the intelligence department.

After this moment, others can change their address.

"Xu Qingyun..."

After the two promotions were announced, the director took out another box. Only Xu Zhanjie knew what was going on. Even Xu Qingyun was kept in the dark.

Xu Qingyun’s contribution this time was so great that the old man gave him other rewards.

"In view of Xu Qingyun's outstanding contribution to counter-espionage, the chairman has specially approved the award of the fourth-class Cloud Banner Medal to Xu Qingyun."

The director personally awarded the medal to Xu Qingyun. When Xu Qingyun saw the medal being taken out, he realized that there was another medal as a reward this time.

At this time, not later, the Kuomintang has very strict control over medals. It is difficult to obtain a medal without great merit.

The fourth-class Yunhui Medal is not high, but it is not low either. It is a reward that only officers can get.

There are clear regulations for the awarding of medals, which specify what kinds of merits are required.

The merit for which Xu Qingyun was awarded the medal fell under Article 8: uncovering an international conspiracy to disrupt government agencies with solid evidence.

He caught enough Japanese spies, especially this time, seven Japanese spies plus more than forty traitors, which was enough for him to get this medal.

"Thank you for your cultivation."

After Xu Qingyun received the medal, he saluted immediately. The director smiled with satisfaction. He came here today just to award Xu Qingyun the title and medal.

As for the others, they were led by Xu Zhanjie.

“Party fruit cultivation.”

The director said something polite, quickly returned to his seat, encouraged the intelligence department again, and left.

When he returned, Xu Qingyun went to the podium with him. He had been promoted to deputy section chief and was qualified to sit on the podium, while the other team leaders were below.

Master Xu Zhanjie and his apprentice saw the host off together. As soon as they came back and sat down, Xu Zhanjie looked at someone below the stage.

Thanks to the old leader Yi Xin Qiuyue for the reward of 2000 Qidian coins again.
