The Spy

Chapter 220 Losing Business
In addition to Meng Zhitang, other people with problems are also being investigated. The two groups have enough manpower, and now Xu Qingyun no longer has a shortage of manpower.

He could handle cases even when there was a shortage of staff, let alone now when there are plenty of people.

After two hours of reading, Xu Qingyun read all the information carefully without missing a single detail.

"Good job, keep investigating."

After reading it, Xu Qingyun praised them. He came to the command center not only to understand the progress of the case, but also to see if there were any of his comrades among them.

But even if there is, it is probably out of contact or in a dormant state at this time.

The comrades who can lurk in the General Staff are definitely aces. The organization is in difficulty right now, and many places are out of contact, so they will not be easily activated.

"Yes, section chief."

Fang Laibao was very happy that the section chief approved of their investigation, proving that they were on the right track.

If he continued to investigate, he believed that he would be able to catch this traitor soon.

Xu Qingyun got up and went to the Operations Department office.

Fang Laibao rented a private courtyard with many rooms, enough for them to use and live in. However, it was impossible for them to live in a single room. With so many people coming from the Operations Department, they hurriedly purchased bunk beds, so at least eight people had to live in each room.

Even Fang Laibao and He Rongtang did not live in a single room. They lived in a double dormitory, sleeping two people in one room.

It is convenient for the two of them to communicate about the case.

There is only one single room in the entire command center. It is usually not occupied by anyone. It is specially prepared for Xu Qingyun. Now is the investigation stage. Once there is progress, Xu Qingyun will be in the command center and will also live here at that time.

"Chief Xu."

When he entered the office, Lü Gaowa, the captain of the operations department who was chatting with someone around him, stood up hurriedly.

He is from the first group of the Operations Department, a subordinate of Le Yongsheng. He has cooperated with the fourth intelligence group in previous operations and has good skills.

"Sit down. I'm sorry for the hard work of transferring you here this time."

Xu Qingyun walked over and pulled a chair and sat down, and only then did Lu Gaowa and the others dare to sit down.

"Look at what you said, this is our job, it's not hard at all."

Lu Gaowa hurriedly replied, although Xu Qingyun is young and has only been at the headquarters for a short time, he has already made a name for himself, and no one in the Operations Department dares to underestimate him, let alone despise him.

Xu Qingyun is already the deputy section chief, while Lu Gaowa is only the team leader, and their status is very different.

Even though he had worked at the headquarters for many years, he still seemed very nervous in front of Xu Qingyun.

He wasn't even this careful when facing the deputy chief of his operations department.

The main reason was that Xu Qingyun's record was too brilliant. So many Japanese spies, no matter how deep they were hiding, were found by Xu Qingyun, including enemies hidden within their ranks.

In addition to the Japanese spies, there were some other people who were pulled down by Xu Qingyun because they committed crimes.

The most typical example is Cai Shifeng, the stationmaster of Hangzhou Station.

He is still in prison, awaiting trial.

"Tell all the brothers that if you come out to help us this time, each of you will be given a subsidy of one dollar per day."

Xu Qingyun said, Lu Gaowa was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic: "Thank you, Chief Xu."

They are on normal field duty and receive subsidies, but the amount is not much, depending on what the task is.

The field allowance this time is very low. The allowance that Section Chief Xu mentioned now is obviously an additional allowance for them. One dollar a day may not sound like much, but if it is for a month, it would be a full thirty dollars, which is more than their salary plus the allowance.

And this is pure extra income.

"Thank you, Chief Xu."

The others followed suit and expressed their gratitude. They had long known that Section Chief Xu was generous, and this time he really felt sorry for them and gave them an extra subsidy.

This field mission was well done and worthwhile. Fortunately, the section chief gave them the task, otherwise the subsidy would have gone to someone else.

"I'll give you money, so you have to work hard. Your section chief and team leader have already said some things. Team leader Fang also explained them to you when you came here. I won't repeat them, but you must remember these things. If anyone commits a crime, the director will deal with it personally. You all understand the director's attitude towards offenders."

Xu Qingyun said calmly that it was like adding another layer of insurance.

This mission is important. Once the people from the operations department enter the yard, they will not be able to leave or even make phone calls.

There was no call from their office either.

Even if it was Lu Gaowa, she had to ask Fang Laibao for permission if she wanted to make a phone call. Without special circumstances, no one was allowed to contact the outside world.

"Understood. Don't worry, we will do as you say."

Lu Gaowa's expression suddenly became serious. It seemed that this mission was really unusual. The section chief did mention it, and Team Leader Fang also mentioned it once.

Now Section Chief Xu has personally instructed him to keep an eye on his subordinates.

After all, the Operations Department is not the Intelligence Department. It is mostly composed of action team members who are usually a bit lazy and careless. If anyone makes a mistake accidentally, I'm afraid even the section chief won't be able to save him.

"Very good. Arrange the guards. Both visible and hidden guards are necessary."

After Xu Qingyun finished speaking, he stood up. He didn't give any specific instructions, but these people knew what to do.

"Wenxuan, let's go back."

Taking Leng Wenxuan with them, the two returned to the Military Intelligence Department together. The car was still filled with the aroma of meat and vegetables.

"Teacher, they have found quite a few, and are investigating them as soon as possible."

After returning to the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun immediately came to report to Xu Zhanjie. This was a case that the director was keeping an eye on, and he had to report the case in a timely manner. In case the director asked about it, Xu Zhanjie would not say that he knew nothing.

If that were the case, Xu Zhanjie would be scolded.

"They are doing a good job. Keep a close eye on them and find them as soon as possible."

Xu Zhanjie immediately replied that the director had indeed asked him today, but the case had just begun and he said it was under investigation.

The director also received inquiries from the old man.

If the traitor is not found, they will not be able to make new arrangements. Otherwise, if the new arrangements are known to the Japanese, it will become a joke.

We are still following the old plan, just a little slower because we have to investigate the traitor quickly.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it."

Xu Qingyun responded, and when the get off work time came, Xu Qingyun went home and let Leng Wenxuan leave by himself.

Xu Qingyun drove out before it got dark.

He went to Lao Liang's side. He didn't see Lao Liang's footprints at the entrance of the alley twice before, so this time he came to verify it.

When he reached the door, Xu Qingyun's eyebrows twitched.

There were still no footprints of Lao Liang at the door, but there were footprints of strangers, more than one, both men and women. The oldest was about fifty years old and had bound feet, very similar to the woman he had seen before.

These footprints had never appeared before.

It is obvious that there is a family living there now, at least five people, including children. The most likely possibility is that Lao Liang has moved out and someone else has moved in.

Xu Qingyun didn't ask anyone. Just looking at the footprints made him understand what was going on.

On the way back, Xu Qingyun had already figured out the reason.

He suddenly appeared and knew Lao Liang's identity. For Lao Liang's safety, the organization asked him to leave temporarily.

Xu Qingyun didn't know whether he had left Nanjing or just moved.

However, Xu Qingyun guessed that the latter possibility was more likely. It was not easy for the organization to hide, and they would generally not evacuate unless they were confirmed to have been exposed.

Moving away first is a normal reaction. After all, his existence is a huge hidden danger to Lao Liang.

Xu Qingyun returned all the way home.

He came out this time to buy food. There are several restaurants here that have delicious food, and he used to buy food there often. Now he buys some to take home for dinner. At least this reason is valid.

Unless you were spying on him, you wouldn't find out what he did.

Moreover, due to his special identity, ordinary people dare not investigate him, or cannot investigate him.

For example, the Party Affairs Investigation Office, the team leader who investigated him last time has been reincarnated. He was just a team leader at the beginning, but now he is at the level of section chief. If the Party Affairs Investigation Office dares to stick its head out, no one can save them.

It would not be an exaggeration for Xu Qingyun to just kill him directly.

As the deputy chief of intelligence in the intelligence department and a veteran with many military achievements, he could conduct random investigations without any evidence or consent from the old man and fight back however he wanted.

This is the bottom line.

Old Ghost Xu didn't know what to say.

Similarly, if the Military Intelligence Department does not have evidence or has not reported it, it cannot easily investigate the chief and deputy chief of the Intelligence Section of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Secret investigations that were not discovered are not included.

After returning home, Xu Qingyun ate slowly. The vegetables he bought today tasted good, and Xu Qingyun ate a lot.

On the other side, Secretary Huang returned home.

"Secretary Huang, this is the new information that the comrades have found."

Xiao Wu stepped forward immediately. Secretary Huang had assigned him a task a few days ago. Comrades should secretly investigate the situation in Wuhua Prison, mainly the prison guards.

Niu Yuanxiang came to carry out the rescue mission. His ability was limited, so his superiors asked comrades from Nanjing for help to investigate the external situation first and help Niu Yuanxiang find the next opportunity.

A group of their comrades, more than twenty in number, were imprisoned in Wuhua Prison.

The earliest one was arrested eight years ago. It is said that more than one hundred comrades were transferred to that prison at that time, but now there are only about twenty left.

Spies are hateful.

One can imagine what these comrades went through. They must have endured tremendous torture and eventually died due to physical exhaustion. They were all steadfast fighters.

"Let me consider."

Secretary Huang nodded and picked up the documents Xiao Wu brought and looked through them carefully.

Wuhua Prison belongs to the Party Affairs Investigation Department. It is a fairly large prison located more than 20 miles outside the city.

There are many prisoners in Wuhua Prison, at least hundreds of them, not all of whom are their comrades. Some other people found by the Party Affairs Investigation Office are also imprisoned there. However, one thing is that there are not many ordinary people imprisoned there.

Most of them are people with some background.

Spies are not police officers. If you are caught by a spy, you must have done something wrong. Ordinary people don’t have such an opportunity.

Wuhua Prison is heavily guarded, with more than a hundred personnel of various types, including a strongly armed guard force. There are also troops stationed near the prison. It is wishful thinking to storm there, and there is no possibility at all.

Besides, there are not so many people in the organization.

We must find a way to save people through their internal staff.

Secretary Huang is only doing peripheral investigations. The rescue mission does not belong to them. What they have investigated can be sent to the comrades above via a dead mailbox later.

Even Secretary Huang only knew Niu Yuanxiang's code name and that he was in Nanjing.

I have no idea what he does, what kind of person he is, his gender, age and other information.

Secretary Huang had no objection to this. The organization had learned too many lessons and paid a heavy price. Comrades had sacrificed their lives to help them sum up the experience. There could be no carelessness in the work behind enemy lines.

Otherwise, you will face hellish torture.

These bloody lessons prompted the organization to make rapid changes, and today the comrades have grown greatly.

"Secretary Huang, I went to see Minister Liang today. He asked us if we had found out anything about the kite."

Xiao Wu went on to say that he was Secretary Huang’s liaison officer and provided a layer of security for Secretary Huang.

Unless it is an important matter, Secretary Huang will not show up in person. It is basically Xiao Wu who conveys the organization's orders and opinions, and the department heads are responsible for their implementation.

The last time they resumed contact with the Wuhan organization, Minister Liang wanted to ask about the situation of the kite.

The last rescue was indeed a spectacular experience. Afterwards they learned that there was great chaos inside the hospital at that time.

Although their comrades were admitted to the hospital, they did nothing, so the spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Office were forced out, giving them an opportunity to rescue them.

Someone at the scene deliberately set off the explosion, most likely Comrade Feng Kite himself.

There are also gang fights and people from the Military Intelligence Department appear.

They didn't know whether the two were coincidences. If not, they needed to reconsider the power of Comrade Feng Kite.

Being able to mobilize so many people, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"No, the comrades in Wuhan don't know who Feng Zheng is. They only know that Comrade Lu Hanping's former code name was Feng Zheng. If the comrades in Peking hadn't retreated to Wuhan, they wouldn't even know this."

Secretary Huang sighed. Their biggest problem at the moment was that they couldn't communicate with the top management.

They can only do ordinary work on weekdays.

Even if these tasks are completed, there is no chance to report them and they can only be passed on to comrades in Wuhan first.

The comrades in Wuhan are also in a difficult situation, and their situation is not much better than theirs.

Including Shanghai.

The spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Office were searching for them everywhere like dogs. If they revealed the slightest flaw, they would be targeted by these mad dogs.

All they have to do now is to protect themselves and not suffer any further losses.

We will have to wait until the large force is organized to escape.

Although they were not clear about the specific circumstances of organizing the large force, they could infer some from the news.

The Guo Party kept chasing and blocking us. Just by looking at the places they reported, you can tell how difficult it was to organize us at that time. How many places did they go to?
I'm afraid the distance I've traveled has already exceeded ten thousand miles.

There are a whole number of provinces, from the southwest to the northwest, and the conditions in many places are difficult. The pursuers of the Guo army are unwilling to enter. The current situation of the organization can be imagined.

Although they were in hiding, at least their living conditions were better than those of the main force.

Secretary Huang understood that what they had to do now was to wait, wait for the organization's victory, and he firmly believed in this.

No one can defeat them.

"I'll tell Minister Liang this next time I see him."

Xiao Wu nodded slightly. Under the current situation, it was not easy for them to do these things. The most important thing was to protect themselves.

They were in Nanjing, the heart of the enemy, so they had to be more careful here. The next morning, Xu Qingyun got up early and went directly to the headquarters.

"Chief, we found out that many of Meng Zhitang's businesses were acquired in the past two years, except for the soy sauce and vinegar factory in Zhenjiang, which was opened four years ago."

In the small office, Fang Laibao and He Rongtang sat next to Xu Qingyun and reported their latest investigation results.

Meng Zhitang is now the number one suspect, and everything concerning him must be investigated thoroughly.

"What's the specific time?"

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask, it was all because the purchases in the past two years were a bit abnormal. Meng Zhitang's business was not very good. He had a total of seven businesses, five of which were not profitable, and the two profitable ones included the factory in Zhenjiang.

Why does he open so many if they are not making any money?
There's something weird about it.

"Five of them were opened within six months, and one was opened a year ago. He has not opened any new businesses in this year."

He Rongtang replied that these were the results of his investigation yesterday. He came back late and Xu Qingyun had already left.

“Have other people invested in these industries?”

"Yes, we have them in Nanjing, but not in Zhenjiang."

He Rongtang replied that it was normal for someone to invest, as many businesses are not run by one person, especially since Meng Zhitang was in a high position, and everyone knew that he had a bright future.

After gaining experience in the General Staff, he will be transferred to another post in the future and will most likely become a general. By then, he will either be a ace brigade commander or even higher.

"All four of these companies are losing money. One of them is losing five or six hundred dollars a month, but Meng Zhitang has never closed down."

He Rongtang added that the monthly compensation was five to six hundred yuan, which was six to seven thousand yuan a year. Adding the losses from other industries, even if Meng Zhitang had a profitable business, it would not be able to fill these holes.

Why does he open so many?
“Are there any other tricks in these industries?”

Xu Qingyun asked again. He Rongtang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't found out yet. I will investigate these immediately."

Time was limited, and it was already excellent that he could find out so much. Xu Qingyun understood that it was too much to ask him to find out all the circumstances.

What's more, the tricks are the hardest to investigate. If you can't find anyone who knows the inside story, you can't ask them at all.

They are investigating secretly now and cannot reveal their identities, so they cannot easily arrest people and ask what they want.

"Check carefully, and make sure everything is clear. Keep it confidential and safe."

Xu Qingyun reminded that intelligence work cannot be done in a hurry, as it is easy to make mistakes.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

He Rongtang responded immediately. Xu Qingyun did not ask any more questions and asked them to do their work. Every moment could not be wasted.

In the Shanghai Special High Section, Kitagawa was sitting in his office, and Iijima was in front of him, not daring to breathe.

After the hibernation order was issued, Beichuan sent people directly to Nanjing to investigate who the ninth person who was arrested was. He would not be able to sleep well until this problem was solved.

The people sent did successfully arrive in Nanjing, but after several days, no clues were reported back.

Kitagawa didn't have that much time to waste, so he finally called Iijima over today.

Iijima had a premonition before he came, and as expected, Kitagawa expressed his idea. Iijima went to Nanjing personally to verify it and made sure to find the ninth person who was arrested.

Iijima is the head of the intelligence team and he knows the situation of all the undercover personnel.

Sending him there was a bit risky.

But at this time Beichuan did not dare to assign such a task to other people, otherwise once they were exposed and caught, all their undercover personnel in Nanjing would be finished.

By then, his position as section chief will have ended.

"Why, you don't want to go?"

Iijima was startled by Kitagawa's cold voice. He did not answer after Kitagawa asked. He really did not want to go to Nanjing.

Nanjing is too dangerous.

"Senior, I'm willing to go."

After gritting his teeth, Iijima finally nodded. He didn't dare to say no. He was Kitagawa's confidant and knew Kitagawa's temperament best.

If he doesn't go, Beichuan will be disappointed in him and he will lose Beichuan's trust in him.

When an intelligence team leader loses the trust of his superiors, the result is predictable.

"Very good, you can bring more people, whatever you want, there is only one mission, make sure to find out who the ninth person who was captured is."

"Hay."

Iijima accepted the order. This trip to Nanjing was very dangerous. Fortunately, the section chief agreed to let him bring more people.

"Get ready and set off immediately."

Kitagawa didn't give him any time. The matter must be clarified as soon as possible. Iijima had no choice but to leave the office. He guessed correctly. His hesitation just now made Kitagawa very unhappy.

They are going through a difficult time right now, and if Iijima doesn't even dare to help with such a small matter, how can he be of great use in the future?

If he really doesn't go, there's no need to wait until later, Beichuan will remove him soon.

Since he couldn't even protect himself, how could he have time to give Iijima a chance?

Iijima brought a total of thirty people with him, and they set out in batches; some took the train, some went by land, and some took a water ship.

He personally took ten people and went to Nanjing by train.

The train is the fastest and most comfortable.

When Iijima went to Nanjing, it was impossible for him to sit in third class. He didn't even want to sit in second class. He had to sit in first class.

Accompanied by two trusted aides, Iijima sat down in a comfortable first-class seat and closed his eyes to think about the next task.

He had no trust in any of the undercover personnel in Nanjing.

Especially when you know someone has been arrested but don't know who it is, it is like a bomb. If he makes contact rashly, he is likely to be killed.

Including Firefox.

The information was indeed transmitted by Firefox, but who can guarantee that nothing happened to Firefox after the information was transmitted?
After all, it's been a few days.

The continuous losses made him lose all confidence in his own people. He didn't understand how the Chinese could suddenly become so powerful?

Is it just because of Xu Qingyun?
Xu Qingyun really deserved to die, but it was a pity that the previous section chief Kawashima was incompetent and failed to get rid of this scourge.

Beichuan was worried that the loss would be too great, so he did not continue to attack Xu Qingyun.

In other words, Kitagawa was afraid that he would end up like his predecessor.

Iijima didn't say a word along the way, but he had already perfected the mission plan in his mind.

The first thing is his own safety. He will personally rent a few safe houses and put some things away in advance.

Secondly, he only gave commands from a distance and did not go close to investigate the situation of hidden personnel.

He will assign someone to go there when the time comes.

Only bring one person at a time, don't let others know the situation of all the hidden personnel, and evacuate immediately after investigation.

After these people returned to Shanghai, they were not allowed to go out on field missions to prevent intelligence leaks.

This is all Iijima could think of for now; the rest would depend on improvisation and response according to the situation.

The journey to Nanjing was smooth and they arrived in the evening. Iijima and two of his confidants stayed in a similar hotel, while the rest of the people went to other hotels. They didn't know where Iijima was staying and waited for him to contact them.

Iijima was indeed careful. He did not dare to stay in a too luxurious hotel. Instead, he chose an above-average one so that he would be less likely to attract attention.

"Chief, you are right. There is something fishy about his business."

The next morning, when Xu Qingyun arrived at the command center, He Rongtang immediately came over to report.

"Team Leader He, just explain it clearly."

Fang Laibao reminded him that he had followed Xu Qingyun for a long time and knew Xu Qingyun's personality, so he should just report directly to the point, otherwise he would ask more questions.

"it is good……"

He Rongtang immediately reported his investigation results. After Xu Qingyun asked him to investigate whether there was any fishy thing in the industry yesterday, He Rongtang went looking for a suitable target and soon found someone.

This person is the shopkeeper in charge of Mengzhitang's business.

He knew a lot of things, and he had problems. His son had committed a crime, including murder, and was saved by someone Meng Zhitang had asked for help. He Rongtang immediately arrested his son and used him to threaten him.

Murder cases are not under the jurisdiction of the Military Intelligence Department, but of the police. If they are keeping an eye on them, the police will not dare to violate the law.

The shopkeeper's son had never seen any secret agent torture before, so he confessed after a short while in prison and described clearly what he had done.

With the help of his son's confession, the shopkeeper finally revealed the inside story.

The purpose of Meng Zhitang's business is not to make money, it is purely a cover. Just like the store he is in charge of, there are three shareholders in public and two more behind the scenes.

All dry shares.

Meng Zhitang asked him to cook the books and distribute dividends to these shareholders every month. Although the business was not profitable on the surface, there was money on the books, and every shareholder could get a lot of money.

This is Meng Zhitang's way of winning over others.

"Section Chief, there is definitely something seriously wrong with Meng Zhitang. Where did he get so much money to give these people?"

He Rongtang said quickly that Meng Zhitang was already losing money and was going to give out so much money, so the source of the money was indeed suspicious.

Did the Japanese give it to him? So that he could win over more people?
This is possible, but not particularly likely. The Japanese usually instigate rebellion themselves, unless Meng Zhitang himself is a Japanese and does it on purpose.

They don't trust the Chinese at all and rarely use Chinese people to set up intelligence teams.

However, Meng Zhitang's background is clear and can withstand investigation. He is not a Japanese imposter.

Or maybe a Japanese man who looked exactly like Meng Zhitang replaced him?

Xu Qingyun quickly shook his head. This kind of thing happens more often in TV dramas and is too difficult in reality. Meng Zhitang has a family and it is not easy for a Japanese to impersonate him. Moreover, many of his former classmates, friends, relatives, etc. are with him, whether in the unit or in the army.

To completely impersonate another person, there must be a prerequisite, which is that there cannot be many acquaintances around you.

Senior Xu Qingyun is most experienced in this regard. He can impersonate many people, but he will never let people close to him be around when he impersonates someone.

When he was pretending to be someone else, he wouldn't even meet the person.

This is to protect your identity.

Xu Qingyun soon gave up this idea. Meng Zhitang went to Japan after graduating from military school, but at that time he had already started a family with a wife, father-in-law's family, etc., so he certainly couldn't hide it.

Unless the Japanese bribed this entire family.

Also, the Meng family is not a small family, Meng Zhitang visits his teacher every year, and they are classmates who often hang out together.

All in all, Meng Zhitang is himself, not a Japanese.

"Go check the business situation of all shareholders cooperating with Meng Zhitang."

Xu Qingyun suddenly said, He Rongtang was slightly startled, and immediately nodded: "Yes, I will check it now."

He didn't understand why Xu Qingyun asked to check these things, but he had one advantage, which was that he never asked too many questions and would just do whatever he was asked to do.

"Take Yan Ming with you and ask him to help you check. He can check these things faster."

Xu Qingyun made special arrangements. Yan Ming was the best at finding out things. This time, they were investigating their business situation. Unlike before when they wanted to investigate their secrets, they needed to get hold of evidence before they could make these people tell the truth.

"Yes."

He Rongtang responded immediately, went out and immediately went to find Yan Ming, and left quickly with his men.

While they were investigating, Iijima had already arrived outside the hotel and asked his confidant to call his men out to meet him.

He had an instinctive fear of Nanjing, mainly because they had lost so many lives here that they didn't even know what methods the Chinese had used.

Sometimes he wondered, could it be that the Chinese knew magic?
Someone who used magic to find them?
Iijima knew this was impossible, but being suspicious by nature, he still tried to be as careful as possible to ensure his own safety.

"Team leader."

Soon the two men were called over by their confidant. Iijima arranged for the confidant to continue watching the hotel, while he left with the two men.

"Go over there and ask if there's anything unusual going on recently, especially the third household, whether anyone has seen him recently."

Iijima first brought his men to the home of an undercover agent, and he only brought one person with him.

The other person asked him to wait outside.

He went to the second floor of a teahouse far away, asked for a private room, and stared at his men with a telescope.

The subordinates were not aware of the situation and just followed orders.

He returned not long after. Iijima watched him for a while to make sure that no one was following him. Then he quietly went out to meet his subordinates.

"Team leader, I've asked around, and everything is normal there recently. The family you're talking about is a man who lives alone, and someone saw him go out this morning."

"Very good. Go to the train station right away and buy a ticket back to Shanghai. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. When you arrive in Shanghai, go see the section chief immediately. He will arrange for you to do something."

Iijima nodded slightly, saying that the subordinates could only be used once and had to be replaced after use.

Fortunately, there are not many agents lurking by the river at Nanjing Station, otherwise the thirty people we brought might not be enough, and we would need to send more people from Shanghai.

"Yes, team leader."

His subordinates were a little confused. They wanted him to go back so soon?
However, it is better to go back than to stay in Nanjing. This place does not belong to the empire, and they suffered heavy losses in Nanjing. The longer they stay here, the greater the risk.

By returning to Shanghai, at least I can ensure my safety.

In this way, Iijima led his men to verify one by one.

The first ones he verified were the undercover agents, mainly the undercover personnel who were here in the early days. Now there are still three groups, with three group leaders. He will bring his confidants to do the verification.

These people were placed last, and he left immediately after the verification was completed.

His greatest hope at this time was to find the person who was captured by the Military Intelligence Department. When he found him, he could leave Nanjing.

"Section Chief, we have found out that the people who did business with Meng Zhitang also have a lot of businesses under their names. Some of them, like Meng Zhitang, are still doing it even if they lose money. Meng Zhitang also has a stake in them."

At noon, He Rongtang returned to the command center and immediately came to report to Xu Qingyun.
