The Spy

Chapter 221 The spy appears
"Are there other people in the industry, or are they the only ones?"

Xu Qingyun asked immediately, and He Rongtang replied immediately: "Yes, Yan Ming conducted an investigation, and we found that they have a lot of industries, including factories, shops, businesses, etc. There are more than 60 industries of various types, and more than 20 people are involved."

"The list, their details."

Xu Qingyun asked again. He Rongtang admired Yan Ming very much. After finding out the situation of Meng Zhitang's shareholders, He Rongtang wanted to come back to report. Yan Ming took the initiative to find out the follow-up situation first, as the section chief would definitely ask about it.

If he had come back to report at that time, he would probably have to go out to investigate again, wasting time.

Yan Ming even checked all their industries and personnel. This was not difficult, he just needed to ask more people. Yan Ming was really good at getting information, and he found out everything in no time.

"Here, all the questions were asked by Team Leader Yan."

He Rongtang immediately handed over the information. As expected, Team Leader Yan understood their section chief well and even guessed what the section chief would ask and made preparations in advance.

The information was not detailed and time was limited, so they could not find out much.

Just the name and job title.

There were twenty-two people on the list. Xu Qingyun narrowed his eyes after reading it. Twenty of them were in high positions and all were soldiers.

Xu Qingyun knew the names of several of them.

Yan Ming found out their ranks: there were fifteen colonels, two generals, and five lieutenant colonels.

There is not even one major like him, let alone one at the bottom.

Xu Qingyun understood what those industries were about.

It looks like it's losing money, but in fact it's not. How could it be possible to lose money? Who would want to do a business that loses money?

This is their way of sharing the spoils among their interest groups.

Xu Qingyun believed that He Rongtang and his men had not found out the most fundamental core of the matter, because those were secrets that only they knew, and even the shopkeeper would not know them.

Xu Qingyun roughly guessed where Meng Zhitang's money came from.

It wasn't the Japanese who gave it to him, but themselves.

Meng Zhitang has his own interest group within the military. They each use their own power to make profits. Some money is not convenient for individuals to take, but it is no problem to take it in another way.

For example, if Meng Zhitang needs something, other people can come and do it. On the surface, they have no relationship with each other, but in fact, they are all family members.

If there is a need elsewhere, Meng Zhitang can provide connections. The General Staff has great power and often makes large-scale purchases.

There are many tricks involved, and the Eagle Sauces in later generations are even more sophisticated than them.

There are also some businessmen who set up various companies themselves, formed industrial chains, and took money from banks.

These people take the money, then transfer it from one hand to the other and distribute it to other industries. Some of these industries even lose money, and they are not afraid even if someone investigates, as they are not noticeable at all.

With the last cent, the money went from the public to his own hands.

If they were not investigating Meng Zhitang, they probably wouldn't know these secrets.

"There's no need to check Meng Zhitang's assets for now."

Xu Qingyun suddenly said that this was a huge gray industry with staggering profits. It was not that it did not need to be investigated, but that it could not be investigated.

It was easy to find out more than 20 people, all of them powerful figures, but what’s behind them?
If they continue investigating, this hornet's nest may sting them to death.

"Not checking anymore?"

He Rongtang was stunned. He didn't understand. The investigation was going on well and it was obvious that Meng Zhitang had a big problem. Why didn't they investigate?
"This is an order. From now on, we will not investigate the source of Meng Zhitang's money. We will focus on investigating whether he has had any contact with the Japanese or leaked any intelligence. The matter concerning Meng Zhitang must be kept confidential and no one is allowed to talk about it."

Meng Zhitang cannot act rashly. If we really find out the source of his funds, even the director will not be able to withstand the counterattack of these people.

Even if we get solid evidence, the old man is so indecisive that he will definitely not punish severely.

It’s not like the old man hasn’t done this kind of thing before.

"Yes."

He Rongtang was shocked. Although he didn't understand the reason, it was very rare for Xu Qingyun to be so strict, so he dared not disobey.

"What about the progress of other people's investigations?"

Xu Qingyun continued to ask, the possibility of Meng Zhitang being a traitor has been reduced a lot, his gray industry has sufficient income, and it is difficult for Japanese spies to use money to subvert him.

It's not easy to get hold of something against him.

He is in the General Staff and knows that some secrets cannot be leaked and he will never tell them casually. Ordinary traps are useless to him. If anyone dares to threaten him, he will kill them with a backhand.

Never underestimate the power of interest groups.

In the TV series that became popular all over the country in later generations, if Director Qi's interest group had not had some internal problems, it would have been just as difficult to deal with if they had really united together.

There is also the historically famous Jiangnan Donglin Party, which is extremely powerful when united.

As for women, it is difficult to seduce Meng Zhitang.

He is young and ambitious. His wife is virtuous and beautiful, and she has given birth to a son for him. Ordinary women have no use to him.

What’s more, Meng Zhitang’s father-in-law is not an ordinary person. He is a general with a very high rank.

However, the investigation against him will not stop, but it will be limited to him and will not be expanded.

There is really no way to expand it.

He Rongtang hurriedly took all the investigation materials of other people to Xu Qingyun's office.

A lot of information has been added.

They have been investigating these days, and they are getting more and more clear about the situation of the forty people.

"You guys go on, I'll take a look first."

Xu Qingyun asked He Rongtang to leave, and after He Rongtang went out, he went straight to find Fang Laibao.

"Team Leader Fang, why doesn't the Section Chief allow us to continue investigating?"

He Rongtang was still confused. He didn't dare to ask Xu Qingyun, so he simply came to Fang Laibao for advice.

"I don't know either, but the section chief said he won't investigate. There must be a reason. It's better for us not to ask."

Fang Laibao shook his head. It was true that he was a team leader before, but he was only the team leader of the interrogation team at Tianjin Station. Including Yan Ming, they did not have such a broad vision and did not understand the horror of such an interest group.

But he still vaguely understood what was going on.

There are so many people on the other side, and so many of them are doing business together, and it's so secretive, it's obvious that there's something going on behind the scenes.

This matter may not be that simple. The section chief may have discovered something. Meng Zhitang’s matter may have nothing to do with Japanese spies, so he asked them to give up.

I have to say that Fang Laibao is indeed smart.

After reading all the information, Xu Qingyun returned to the Military Intelligence Department and went directly to Xu Zhanjie's office to report his findings to He Rongtang and others.

This matter must be reported.

"So many people?"

Xu Zhanjie was slightly stunned. There were more than 20 of them, the lowest of whom was lieutenant colonel, and most of them were of the same rank as him.

The key is that they are all in important positions, and the combined power of this group of people is extraordinary.

"Yes, I have asked He Rongtang to stop the investigation."

"You did the right thing. You can't check it. You must never check it again."

Xu Zhanjie nodded immediately. He was not He Rongtang and understood what these people were doing. Although what they did was shameful, if they really wanted to deal with them, it would not just target the twenty or so people.

The people behind them, the people who are hiding, and their relatives and friends have not been found out.

There are hundreds of people in total.

Not to mention them, even the old man would have to think twice and weigh the pros and cons if he wanted to touch these people.

"Teachers, rest assured that students know what to do."

Xu Qingyun replied softly. He did not stay with Xu Zhanjie and left directly after finishing his report.

Xu Zhanjie saw him out with a look of relief on his face.

The student is really good, but he is so politically sensitive. This matter really cannot be investigated further, otherwise it is likely to bring disaster to oneself.

He is now very confident in Xu Qingyun.

"Director, this is what happened. Xu Qingyun stopped the investigation immediately after he found something wrong."

Xu Zhanjie lowered his head and repeated to the director what Xu Qingyun had just reported.

The Virgo's expression did not change, but he nodded slowly: "Well done, this matter is strictly confidential and must not be leaked."

"Don't worry, Qingyun has already explained, they won't say anything nonsense."

Xu Zhanjie responded hurriedly. The director said nothing more, and Xu Zhanjie left with peace of mind.

He didn't know that Virgo was feeling emotional at this moment.

Such an alliance of interests is very reliable, and even he is a little tempted. However, he knows that he cannot touch such a group at all. If he dares to touch it, let alone join it, he will probably be immediately suspected by the old man if he shows goodwill to these people.

As the spy chief, the old man's eyes and ears, what does he want to do by colluding with his generals?
As a spy, he is destined to be a lone subject.

However, it was necessary to understand their situation. He needed to report this matter. Xu Zhanjie's report was not detailed. He did not need to know too much. He could just take Xu Qingyun with him to report to the old man.

The Xu family is not a small family, so it is better to let Xu Qingyun report than for him to report directly.

It can also make the old man understand that the people in the army are not so reliable. Even the direct descendants have their own small groups.

This way the old man will pay more attention to him and ask them to provide more information about these people.

Only then can he gain more trust and power from the old man.

Different positions and statuses naturally lead to different issues to be considered.

He Rongtang couldn't even figure out what was going on, but when he got to the Director, he was already planning how to use this matter to gain the greatest benefit for himself.

Virgo is not complaining, he is just reporting, and he is definitely not targeting these people.

The old man doesn't know how to deal with them.

Virgo is not worried about offending them by doing this, not to mention that this is his job. His biggest wish is to become the old man's most trusted confidant. Although he is not yet, he will keep working hard for it.

There is no need to rush this matter. It won't be too late to do it when Xu Qingyun finishes the case and takes him to report the credit.

Xu Qingyun went straight back to the headquarters.

As the investigation progresses, he can no longer have as much free time as he did in the first two days. From now on, he will be as busy as Fang Laibao and others.

Here is his private office.

Xu Qingyun took out the files he had investigated before and read them again.

These things must be read carefully and several times. If there is a slight difference, it is possible to find the traitor.

Meng Zhitang is not doing the main investigation, so we can't waste too much time and energy on him.

The initial focus was placed on Meng Zhitang alone, which was a mistake in the direction of the investigation. Now it cannot be confirmed that Meng Zhitang is not a traitor, but the possibility that he is a traitor is indeed much smaller.

Meng Zhitang has a better and more stable group and there is no need for him to be a dog of the Japanese.

We are not afraid of going in the wrong direction, but we are afraid of continuing to make mistakes without knowing it. Now that Xu Qingyun has made changes, he is determined to find the hidden traitor.

As the investigation progressed, unidentified money from several people has been discovered.

Their ability to make money opened Xu Qingyun's eyes.

Meng Zhitang is part of a profit organization where members help each other and make money together.

Not everyone is part of this interest group.

Many others just find ways to make money on their own.

One of them, a lieutenant colonel, actually kept a group of tomb robbers. They dug many large tombs and made a lot of money. He not only sold the goods, but also gave them to his superiors to show his filial piety if he found some rare and good things, in order to curry favor with them.

He certainly wouldn't say that the things were dug up. I wonder if the people who accepted his gift would feel uncomfortable.

Most likely not.

These days, many things are unearthed. Unearthed things are different from handed down things, and experts can recognize them at a glance.

Even if I know, what can I do? As long as it’s valuable, that’s enough.

It's not like this hasn't been done before. The general named Sun did it much better than him.

This kind of thing is not the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Department, just report it normally.

If the higher-ups want to deal with him, they can kill him with any excuse. If they don't want to deal with him, they will just cover up this matter which is not acceptable in public.

Another one was the money I earned in Shanghai from stock trading.

He really made his money by trading stocks. This guy is very talented. He goes there several times a year and makes money every time.

I wonder what the old man would think when he knew his abilities.

He earned his money in Shanghai and never told anyone about it. Even his colleagues were unaware that he could make money by speculating in stocks. The Military Intelligence Department only found out about it after investigating.

However, two of them went a bit too far. After the traitors are found out, these two people will also be held accountable.

One of them turned out to be the boss behind the gang of bandits.

This group of bandits includes his former subordinates, in other words, soldiers. Such bandits are more powerful than ordinary bandits and cause greater harm.

If we hadn't found out who he was secretly communicating with, we probably wouldn't have discovered this.

He hid it very well, but after all, he made so much money, it was impossible for him to keep it hidden forever.

After discovering his financial abnormalities, the Military Intelligence Department uncovered the truth through investigation.

He was unlucky, but for some people it was lucky. This group of bandits must be wiped out, so that fewer people will be harmed by them in the future.

The other guy wasn't as egregious, but he wasn't much better than this one.

He secretly trafficked in people, especially children.

He has many human traffickers under him, and he uses his official connections to cover up for these human traffickers.

Xu Qingyun had nothing to say about such a person.

Those who should be investigated should be investigated, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be killed should be killed.

In fact, they all have good jobs and brighter futures, and they are willing to do anything for money.

Xu Qingyun understood that they made money in order to move up. It didn’t matter if they didn’t have money. Did they want to move up?
Almost impossible.

It is said that a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. Now everyone in the Guo Party is making money, and as long as they don't go too far, Xu Qingyun will not interfere.

But since you have done something that has angered God and the people, you cannot blame others. These two people have already stepped one foot into the prison of the Military Intelligence Department. Wait until the traitor is found and arrest them all.

Investigate the traitors and clean up some scum at the same time.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Inside Nanjing City, Iijima was watching the outside carefully.

He had verified several undercover agents and found no problems so far, so the eight people he brought left.

Iijima was indeed careful. He always watched from behind and never went over there alone.

"Chief, the manager of the rickshaw company is here, and he wants to see Deputy Chief Xu."

Liao Gongping came to Xu Zhanjie's office and whispered. Xu Zhanjie was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what the manager of the rickshaw company was doing. This rickshaw company was originally run by Japanese spies. After being confiscated, it became their intelligence department's industry under Xu Qingyun's persuasion.

The company doesn’t have many cars, but with the support of their military intelligence department, no one dares to mess with them.

Xu Zhanjie cared very much about this company and gave them the green light.

They can all run on good territory.

They started the company out of nothing, and now they owe a lot of money to car dealers and banks. How can they pay off these debts without making money?

Xu Zhanjie also hoped that the rickshaw company could make more money and provide more funds for his intelligence department.

By the way, it can also help to fill his personal wallet.

"Let him come over."

Xu Zhanjie instructed that Xu Qingyun had previously told the rickshaw company that any abnormal situations encountered while pulling the rickshaws should be reported promptly.

And gave them a detailed list.

For example, someone speaks Japanese, uses the yen, carries a gun, or something like a radio.

These are the basics, and some are details.

There are many of their drivers at the train station. Those who come to Nanjing from other places, have Shandong or Northeastern accents, come alone, ask about renting a house, or rent a house as soon as they arrive in Nanjing, all of them must be reported.

As for those staying in hotels, they just need to pay attention.

In addition to this, there are also ways of secretly going to remote places, or going to a place and letting the driver wait for a longer time, etc.

Xu Qingyun specifically formulated precautions for Japanese spies based on their characteristics.

They had reported it several times before, but it was finally confirmed that those cases were all ordinary people who simply did things abnormally.

"Chief Xu."

In the reception room, rickshaw company manager Yuan Yanping saw Xu Zhanjie coming in and stood up in a hurry.

He was a little embarrassed and a little nervous.

He knew that the business he ran belonged to the Intelligence Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the person who usually contacted him was Liao Gongping, and Xu Zhanjie did not have the time to pay attention to a rickshaw company every day.

Apart from Liao Gongping, he had only had contact with Xu Qingyun a few times, and he had always reported to Xu Qingyun before.

At that time, Xu Qingyun was still the team leader, but he was unexpectedly promoted to deputy section chief so quickly.

No matter whether it is the team leader or the deputy section chief, they are all important figures in his eyes, the kind that cannot be offended at all.

"Sit down, what's your name?"

Xu Zhanjie waved his hand, and Yuan Yanping sat down carefully, daring only to sit on half of his buttocks, sitting upright and not daring to move.

"Section Chief, his name is Yuan Yanping."

Liao Gongping said softly that he was in charge of the rickshaw company. He not only knew Yuan Yanping, but he had also met many people in the company, even some of the drivers.

"Any new discoveries?"

Xu Zhanjie nodded and asked directly, he didn't notice that the manager of the rickshaw company would not come here, and he didn't dare to lie or deceive.

"We have made some discoveries. According to Deputy Section Chief Xu's request, we have discovered something in the past two days..."

Yuan Yanping carefully explained the situation. This was the request of Deputy Section Chief Xu. He did not dare to hide anything after the driver reported it and had to report it as soon as possible.

Rickshaw companies are doing good business now and they can run in the best areas.

Such as train stations, docks, shopping malls and so on.

When they first started running, there were indeed big rickshaw companies that wanted to teach them a lesson, but in the end they were taught a lesson instead.

He was also warned by the police not to cause any trouble to this rickshaw company.

Later they realized that although this company was small in scale, it had a very strong background. In addition, their company did not have many cars, so other companies turned a blind eye and let them run freely.

Yuan Yanping described a situation.

Yesterday one of their drivers picked up a man at the dock. The man spoke with a Northeastern accent and was well dressed.

The drivers are all shrewd people and they know how to treat people differently.

As a result, this person happened to take his car again today, but went to the train station.

This alone would not be unusual, but before he got on the bus, the driver noticed that he had a furtive conversation with someone, after which he hurried off and headed straight for the train station.

He didn't even take the gifts he had brought with him.

This was an abnormal phenomenon, so Yuan Yanping asked other drivers and found out that there was another person who had experienced the same situation.

However, the man got off at the train station and then took another train to the train station. He brought a package when he came, but took nothing when he left.

When he got off the car, he was noticed by the driver who was waiting for passengers in the company. He had picked him up yesterday. This passenger was very generous and gave him a little more money. The driver was impressed by him and recognized him immediately.

Yuan Yanping came to report these two anomalies today.

"I see. You can go back first. I'll call you anytime if anything happens."

After listening to this, Xu Zhanjie didn't say much. The two people had just arrived in Nanjing, why did they suddenly leave?

There is indeed something strange here, especially since they brought luggage with them but didn't take anything with them when they left. Could it be that there was something else in their gifts and they came here specially to give something?
Xu Zhanjie didn’t figure out what was going on, and he was too lazy to think about it.

Since it is Xu Qingyun's instruction, just have someone pass the situation to Xu Qingyun later.

Xu Zhanjie didn't know that the driver was reporting to Iijima and others.

He is a real Japanese spy.

Iijima brought thirty people with him, and two of them were hired by their company. There was actually a reason for this coincidence.

Their company had only new cars, and it didn't take long before the Japanese spy, who was also a human being, instinctively chose the newest car to ride in after seeing several rickshaws. The new cars were more comfortable and cleaner.

So they met two of them.

"Deputy Section Chief Xu, this is what happened. I'm going back first."

Liao Gongping was responsible for conveying the message. He came to the command center, reported, and then left.

The existence of the command center is indeed a secret, but it is not particularly confidential. Their command center is just close to the General Staff Headquarters. From the outside, you won’t know what case they are handling here.

Liao Gongping is the head of the Intelligence Department. He is responsible for purchasing many things here, so he knows the place.

Xu Qingyun asked someone to send Director Liao off, there was no need for him to go in person.

He could do this when he was the team leader, but now he is Liao Gongping’s superior and doesn’t need to be so polite.

The two of them arrived in Nanjing and left soon after, without taking any luggage.

It is indeed an abnormal situation.

What are these two people doing in Nanjing? Are they ordinary people or people of status?
Xu Qingyun’s first thought was to determine whether he was a comrade.

It is possible that our comrades came to deliver gifts.

Similarly, it is also possible that it was the Japanese. With so many people captured in Nanjing, it was normal for them to send people to investigate the situation. However, Xu Qingyun had no idea why they left after arriving.

No matter what the situation is, this clue must be investigated.

However, he had to check it himself to avoid hurting his own people by mistake.

"Wenxuan, let's go out for a while."

Xu Qingyun got up and took Leng Wenxuan to the rickshaw company.

The clues Liao Gongping sent were limited, so he had to come and ask in person.

"Chief Xu, you are here."

Seeing Xu Qingyun, Yuan Yanping stood up hurriedly. It seemed that what he reported today was indeed important. Deputy Section Chief Xu came to the company in person.

"Are the two drivers here?"

"They're not here. I'll send someone to call them right away."

Yuan Yanping said quickly that their drivers were all busy outside, and even though it was hot, they were more motivated than anyone else to make money.

Although the company takes a high commission, they can go to many places, all of which are places where they can make money. In addition, since the car is new, many people want to come to their company to drive the car, and they can earn more here than with other companies.

Now after they pay off their debts every month, they still have some surplus, which makes Xu Zhanjie feel more at ease. With a fatter wallet, he naturally speaks louder.

They don't need to contact the General Affairs Department in advance for some matters.

This time, some purchasing agents used their own money to do the work, and after the case was completed, they went to the General Affairs Department to ask for reimbursement.

As for the things you bought, you can just ask the general affairs department to take them away.

The general affairs department also did not lose money. Although the items were reimbursed, since they bought a lot, they kept the usable items and disposed of the unused ones, so they could also make a little money in the process.

The entire Fruit Party is like this, they are good at taking advantage of everyone, and anyone who gets the chance will try to put money into their own pockets.

"Hello, boss."

Two coachmen were quickly called over. They were much more nervous than Yuan Yanping in front of Xu Qingyun.

This is because they don’t know Xu Qingyun’s identity. In the entire company, only the manager and the accountant know who their boss is.

"Don't be nervous, I want to ask you something."

Xu Qingyun smiled and immediately asked, "Where did you send the people you brought to?"

"boss……"

"It's delivered..."

They both spoke at the same time, but said different things.

"Speak one by one. You speak first."

Xu Qingyun asked one of them to speak first, and he quickly gave the address. The guest he took to was an ordinary hotel.

"Is he alone or with several people?"

"He must be with someone, pretend not to know him."

The driver replied, and Xu Qingyun looked at Yuan Yanping. He had not mentioned this situation before.

Yuan Yanping was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"

"Before? You didn't ask before."

The driver was startled and after a moment of silence he explained that he was not an agent, just a low-level rickshaw driver, and he didn't expect to report so much.

If the manager had not told him many times before and said that he would receive a dollar as a reward for reporting useful information, he would not have taken the initiative to report.

"It's okay, we can talk about this later. Why do you say he has someone with him?"

Xu Qingyun stopped Yuan Yanping. These people had not received any training. It seemed that they would have to receive special training in batches when there was an opportunity in the future.

It's not training, it's just telling them what they need to pay attention to in daily life.

Just give them one day of lectures and then arrange two days of practical training.

The three days will not be wasted, as they can be compensated with money. These drivers work very hard and earn limited money every day. Not allowing them to drive the carts for three days will be a big loss for them.

"Some of the people who got off the boat went to the same place as him. I saw them talking when I left."

The driver did not seem as nervous as he was at first, and immediately replied that drivers picked up passengers on the road every day, so their eyes had long been trained.

They can tell at a glance who can ride the bus and who can't.

Those who can ride in the car are their guests and will naturally attract their attention.

"When this person left, was there anyone with him?"

Xu Qingyun asked again, and the driver immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't see anyone with him."

"Where did he go and where did he leave from?"

This driver is the one who pulled all the vehicles at the dock. I wonder if the passengers noticed this.

In fact, the Japanese did notice that, after all, they were intelligence personnel and had good memories.

However, he saw the driver picking up someone else. After that person got off the car, the driver stopped nearby to enjoy the cool air. There were no other cars at the time, so he got on this one.

On the way, he even chatted with the driver for a few words to confirm that he was a normal rickshaw driver.

“I went…”

The driver quickly named two places, one was the hotel and the other was where he picked up people.

"Do you remember what the guest looked like?"

Xu Qingyun asked again. The driver thought for a moment and then nodded: "I will definitely recognize him when I see him."

"Very good. I will ask someone to draw the portrait later and you can describe it. Don't worry, I won't waste your time. One dollar is your reward, and this dollar is compensation for the time wasted."

Xu Qingyun took out two dollars and gave them to him.

"Thank you, thank you boss."

After receiving the dollar, the driver thanked him happily. He couldn't earn more than two dollars a day. Today, not only was he not so tired, but he also earned more. That was good.

The people around him looked at him enviously, waiting for Xu Qingyun to ask.

The questions Xu Qingyun asked him were similar to the ones before, except that he didn't notice if there was anyone else traveling with him, nor did he know where the guests would get on the bus.

Since he was not the one driving the car, he naturally didn't know where to get on the car.

"Xu, you look for me."

As soon as I asked the question, John came over. Xu Qingyun had contacted him before and asked him to come to the rickshaw company. He might need a portrait drawn today.

John looked better than before. He worked very hard on painting during this period and finally paid off part of his debt.

Although he had not paid off all the debts, the creditors were not pressing him as hard anymore, and he at least showed an attitude of paying back the debts.

"Get ready to paint."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste any time talking to him and asked him to draw a portrait directly. This time the portrait session took a very short time and he only drew one picture.

There is another portrait of Xu Qingyun, which John had painted before.

When questioning, Xu Qingyun realized something was wrong. After careful questioning, he confirmed that it was the person who was painted by John.

"Xu, although I only drew one, my workload is two."

When he came out, John said very seriously that two portraits would earn more money, but now he only painted one, and he felt a little unwilling.

"Okay, I'll give you two portions."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste any time talking to him. The identity of the suspect had been confirmed. He was indeed Japanese, and the other person might be Japanese as well.

They have similar ways of doing things.

You can find out by taking the portrait back and asking the surrendered agents.

Especially the observers who surrendered later, they had seen the people brought by Kitagawa and Iijima from the headquarters.
