The Spy

Chapter 223 Seven Caught
"run?"

Xu Zhanjie's face changed, and he immediately understood what Xu Qingyun meant. The call they received this time was abnormal. The three people they had checked out before all went out in batches, and no one checked out or left with their luggage. But this time they took everything with them, and it was obvious that they were not going to carry out a mission.

"Prepare for action and arrest people."

Xu Zhanjie was very decisive and immediately gave orders that the Japanese spy would not be allowed to escape. As for Iijima, Xu Zhanjie was a little annoyed. If he had discovered this situation earlier, maybe he could have caught the head of the Shanghai Special High Section intelligence team.

"Xiang Jason, you should immediately arrange for someone to go to the train station and bring back a few Japanese who have surrendered. If you find any suspects, arrest them immediately. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

This side belongs to Xiang Jiesheng. He has to stay to arrest people, so there are not enough people to go to the train station.

"Chief, please ask the operations department to help us immediately and see if we can expand our harvest at the train station."

Xu Qingyun said to Xu Zhanjie again, and Xu Zhanjie nodded: "Yes, where is the dock?"

For the enemy to leave, the train station is the most convenient and fastest way, followed by the dock and land.

Shipping takes a long time these days. They all came here at the same time, so it's normal for them to come separately. Since they have to go back separately, the possibility of taking the train is the highest.

"Let Hou Yigong take charge of the dock."

Xu Qingyun replied that the dock was not like the train station, there were not so many ships there. The train from Nanjing to Shanghai was the busiest, with one leaving every half hour at the latest.

Taking the train is definitely the most convenient and quickest way to leave.

Hou Yigong is not targeting anyone now, so it would be most appropriate for him to go.

"it is good."

Xu Zhanjie agreed immediately. Xiang Jiesheng didn't understand what was going on, but he would strictly follow the order.

He divided his men into a small team and sent them to the train station with the surrendered Japanese spies.

One team has too few people, so Xu Zhanjie has called He Ming and asked him to immediately arrange two teams from the Operations Department to go to the train station for support.

Arresting people is the job of the operations department.

"Section Chief, you stay here and watch over the arrests. I'll go to the train station to check."

Xu Qingyun was a little unwilling and wanted to try his luck at the train station to see if he could find Iijima.

If they evacuated together, the possibility of finding Iijima would be very high. After all, we just received the notice and they have not left together yet.

However, Xu Qingyun himself knew that this possibility was not high.

At this time, he roughly guessed how Iijima conducted the screening. He personally led people to screen one by one. He knew the location, so why did he bring other people with him?

Obviously, he did not show up himself, but sent someone to each place.

He just needs to watch in secret and make sure there is no one following these people, then he will appear and inquire about the situation.

This method can indeed allow him to avoid danger.

The hope is slim, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Xu Qingyun will do his best.

"Go ahead, I'm here."

Xu Zhanjie nodded immediately. He understood that time was tight. It would be best if Xu Qingyun was willing to go to the train station. He would feel more at ease with Xu Qingyun directing the situation there.

"Chief, I'm leaving first."

Xu Qingyun hurriedly took his men away, while the people from the Military Intelligence Department and the Operations Department quickly gathered and rushed to the train station.

Xu Zhanjie had greeted them before and asked them to be on standby, so they were moving very quickly.

On the other side, Fang Laibao and Yan Ming were leading people to track down the scammer who had disappeared before.

He could have swindled so much money from Yang Qichao, so he couldn't be an unknown person. Moreover, Yang Qichao was not stupid, and he would not lend money at high interest rates without doing any investigation on the other party's situation.

He was the one who cheated Yang Qichao two and a half years ago.

At that time, there were many people in the loan shark circle who knew about it, so they could easily find out, but no one knew where the scammer had gone.

Some people said that the swindler went to Shanghai, lived a life of debauchery, and was hacked to death there after he had spent all his money.

Others said that he found a place to hide his identity, bought land, became a rural landlord, and lived a comfortable life.

There are all kinds of rumors.

In this era, after making money, you can return to your hometown, buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, find some tenants to farm the land, and raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and geese. Then your life will be very comfortable.

This is the life that many Chinese people have longed for, not only now but also for a long time in the past.

Xu Qingyun remembered that he had read a report later that a Kuomintang general was arrested and two tractors were found in his home.

When asked what he wanted to buy this thing for, he replied that after the war, he wanted to farm at home and the tractor could save him a lot of work.

He was a famous general, and he also wanted to live on the farm after the war.

"Thank you."

Yan Ming casually stuffed two silver dollars into someone's pocket and left with a smile.

Yan Ming personally investigated and inquired, while Fang Laibao and his men waited on the side. He Rongtang was investigating Jia Taiwu at the moment.

The person who cheated Yang Qichao is the most difficult to investigate. Yan Ming volunteered to investigate this person, and He Rongtang naturally would not object.

"Team Leader Fang, let's go outside the city."

After returning, Yan Ming immediately said that he had found out a lot of important information.

First of all, this person will not return to his hometown. According to people who know the scammer, he likes to enjoy himself and has never thought about going home to buy land and live a stable life. There is a possibility that he will go to Shanghai, but it is not high.

Because this person has enemies in Shanghai and he has also cheated people in Shanghai.

It is very likely that he went to Wuhan.

However, there is someone who definitely knows his situation. This person is not in the city, but outside the city. They are going to go over and investigate now.

"it is good."

Fang Laibao responded directly that Yan Ming treated him slightly differently from Xu Qingyun, but he didn't care about it.

Not to mention Yan Ming, he is the same.

When Xu Qingyun was in Group 4, they all called him Team Leader, but Yan Ming now calls him Team Leader Fang.

It’s not because Yan Ming is the deputy team leader, but because in Yan Ming’s heart, his only team leader is Xu Qingyun.

Yan Ming quickly found a family in Sishilipu outside the city.

Many place names outside the city contain "li", such as Bali, Shiliuli, Ershili and so on.

This refers to the distance between this place and the city.

Sishilipu is a place forty miles outside Nanjing city.

Forty miles is not far, but it is not close either. It took them a while to get there by car.

"My friend, I'm thirsty, can I have some water to drink?"

Yan Ming went to knock on a door and noticed that the voice coming from inside was a female one. A smile appeared on Yan Ming's face.

"are you alone?"

The person inside was quite alert. He just asked questions and didn't open the door.

"That's right. Look at me, with my little arms and legs, I just want to drink some water."

Yan Ming deliberately took a few steps back, then stretched out his body with a smile. He had a cloth blanket hanging on his body, making him look like a street vendor.

"Okay, wait, I'll get it for you."

The woman inside still didn't open the door, but she didn't refuse Yan Ming's request for water, which showed that she had some kindness.

Yan Ming gestured to the distance, where Fang Laibao and his men were waiting.

This kind of investigation only requires Yan Ming.

Bringing a bowl of water, the woman inside finally opened the door. When she saw Yan Ming, she knew she had found the right person.

He found out that the swindler had a mistress, who turned out to be a prostitute. After the swindler disappeared, the woman did not stay in the city but married outside the city.

Yang Qichao was just an ordinary staff officer. Even if he hired someone to kill the liar, it would be impossible for him to kill everyone around the liar.

However, the liar's wife and children did disappear together.

"Sister, you are so beautiful. You don't look like a village girl. I think you are prettier than many girls in the city."

Before drinking the water, Yan Ming praised the woman, saying that she was indeed not ugly, but it was obvious that she did not dress up too much. Being too pretty in the countryside is not necessarily a good thing.

"Thank you, it's not as good as you say."

The woman replied with a smile, no woman would get angry when someone says she is beautiful.

Unless the person who is talking about him has a lewd expression and speaks in a teasing tone.

Although Yan Ming is not tall, he is not particularly ugly, and he does not have the vulgar look of other men.

"Thank you, I'm done."

Yan Ming handed over the bowl and made a gesture. Fang Laibao noticed it and immediately brought people over quietly.

"Bai Ling, are you used to living here?"

Yan Ming had already confirmed that there was no one else at home, and was asking questions. His words stunned the woman for a moment, and her face changed immediately.

The woman was about to close the door when Yan Ming blocked her way.

"Go in and talk."

Fang Laibao and his men had already walked over. Yan Ming pushed the woman into the yard, and Fang Laibao closed the door.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

Bailing's face was filled with horror. The other party knew her name and was obviously targeting her.

Bailing is her stage name, her real name is Shi Ailing. She used to be a courtesan, but now that she is old, she has found a good man and married him.

"I don't want to do anything. I want to ask you something. You have to choose one of these two."

Yan Ming took out ten dollars and a pistol next to it. Seeing these two things, Bailing's pupils shrank. It was obvious that the other party was not really asking her to make a choice, but wanted her to speak honestly.

"You ask, and I'll tell you everything I know."

"You are very smart."

Yan Ming smiled, picked up the pistol, and slowly asked, "Who killed Meng Lidong's family?"

Meng Lidong is the name of a liar. Yan Ming is 70% sure that he has not been to Wuhan. If he really went there, it is impossible that there has been no news about him in the past few years.

Bailing is his lover and also his favorite woman.

Even if he left, he would probably come to find Bailing. Meng Lidong has not shown up, which means he has been killed.

"I do not know."

Bailing's face changed again, with fear and panic in her eyes.

"Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know?"

Yan Ming shook the pistol and picked up the dollars on the table. This action was full of threat.

"I, I, I only know that he cheated people out of a lot of money and was picked on by someone."

Bailing lowered her head. Fang Laibao was startled for a moment, then his face showed joy. As expected of Yan Ming, he had found someone who knew the inside story. Today he could get the details of this liar.

"Explain clearly and satisfy me, and I'll give you more money."

Yan Ming put down the money and deliberately guided Bai Ling. Bai Ling was a woman. She didn't want to die, but she was also afraid of death. Under the threat of the gun and the interests of money, she finally told what she knew.

Meng Lidong had cheated Yang Qichao out of eight thousand oceans, so he knew he couldn't stay in Nanjing.

But he was borrowing money from a loan shark, not killing anyone, so he didn't need to escape immediately.

He had time to set up.

First he sent his family out of the city. He really wanted to go to Wuhan, so he settled his family first. At that time, Bailing was still his lover. Afterwards, he sneaked into the city to have fun with Bailing.

He told Bailing that he would definitely come back.

As a result, the next day, someone came to find Bailing and threatened her to tell her where Meng Lidong was.

The other party was holding a knife, and she was very scared, so she revealed Meng Lidong's address.

Meng Lidong was a clumsy guy who clearly wanted to run away, yet he even dared to let his mistress know where he was. Although she didn't give him the exact location, she told him the direction outside the city.

It was also said unintentionally that the place was thirty miles away from Nanjing, a small town, and in the west of the city.

He complained that the road west of the city was difficult to travel on and it took him most of the day to walk the thirty miles.

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. When threatened and questioned, Bai Ling said all this.

The person who threatened her did not kill her, but asked her to leave Nanjing and not to appear in the city. She knew at that time that Meng Lidong had offended someone he should not have offended and would definitely be killed.

Yan Ming listened very carefully. Who was the person who threatened Bailing? Why didn't he kill her after he asked the question?
Could it be Yang Qichao’s own people?

This is possible. After all, Yang Qichao is a soldier. He has led troops before and even has his own former subordinates. He is capable of doing such a thing.

Regardless of whether it was Yang Qichao or not, once the section chief gave the order, he would conduct a thorough investigation, find out the circumstances of Meng Lidong's murder, and identify the murderer.

"I never saw Meng Lidong again after that day. Those people were so fierce. I was scared, so I ran away from the city and found someone to marry."

Bailing said carefully that Meng Lidong had redeemed her before, so she was a free person and could leave.

Since then she really didn't dare to go into the city again.

But she didn't go far. As a weak woman in those turbulent times, she dared not go too far, so she lived on the outskirts of Nanjing.

As time went on, it was inevitable that he would be seen by people who knew him.

Yan Ming also found out her current address through people who knew her.

"Did you ever see those two again?"

Yan Ming asked, and Bai Ling shook her head vigorously: "No."

She had indeed never seen those two people.

"Do you remember what they looked like?"

Yan Ming asked again. Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, then noticed that Yan Ming looked unhappy. She nodded immediately and said, "Remember. If I see you again, I will recognize you."

The two men were so fierce. They were holding knives, and the knives were about to cut her face. She was deeply impressed by them.

"Did they do anything to you?"

Yan Ming suddenly asked. Bai Ling was slightly startled, then immediately understood what he meant and shook her head again: "No."

She is a woman, a beautiful woman, and the other party is two men. It is night time and she is in her residence. If she meets someone with lustful intentions, it is very likely that Bailing will be in trouble.

But Bailing is not a clean person, so she is not so averse to such things.

But if they really did it, the two of them might kill to silence the witness.

"Very good, follow me back to the city."

Yan Ming stood up. Bailing's man was not at home. He had a way to prevent Bailing's man from coming back today. He took Bailing back to ask the section chief for help and find John to draw a portrait. The portrait could only be drawn by the section chief. Only the section chief would guide them and tell them the specific characteristics of the target, and then John could draw it.

"No, I can't go back. If I go back they will kill me."

Fear appeared on Bailing's face. She would never forget the threats from the two men that night. She understood that the two men really had the ability to kill him.

Meng Lidong was killed by them.

They killed someone and there is no news at all. These two people are even more terrifying.

"Don't worry, we are here, no one can hurt you, take you away."

Yan Ming chuckled, and his men beside him forcibly took Bailing away.

If she wasn't needed for the portrait, Yan Ming wouldn't have taken her back to the city.

At the train station, Xu Qingyun was staring at two people. They were carrying two surrendered Japanese spies, and they had already recognized both of them.

It seems that the Japanese are indeed preparing to retreat.

Unfortunately, these two were ordinary team members, and Iijima did not show up.

"Chief Xu, everything is ready."

Someone from the operations department came to report that two people were waiting for a train and there were many people at the train station. The two were Japanese spies and had weapons on them, so the risk of arrest was very high.

We can't arrest people openly. It's unclear how many Japanese spies will come to the train station. If we act rashly, we might alarm the Japanese spies behind us and make them change their evacuation method.

Xu Qingyun planned to arrest someone on the train.

Catch the person after the train leaves and take him back to the next station. This way, people at the train station will not know what happened on the train, ensuring that no one slips through the net.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Be sure to pay attention to safety when arresting people."

Xu Qingyun said softly, and the two team leaders grinned: "Don't worry, Chief Xu, catching people is our job, and we guarantee that we will catch them alive."

They came in two teams, more than two hundred people.

They arranged ten people to capture each Japanese spy, which was enough.

Some people have already driven to the next stop in advance so that they can bring the person back after catching him.

"Chief Xu, I'll go first."

A captain said that he would personally lead the team to capture the two Japanese spies on the train. The space on the train was small, and as long as they could control the people, they would definitely be caught.

The credit for these two Japanese spies will go to them.

The merit of arrest.

"Go."

Xu Qingyun nodded and continued to look for people. In addition to the Japanese spies, there were also team members who were looking for people with portraits.

Many coachmen here got the portrait. Whoever found the person in the portrait would report it in time. If they found one and confirmed that it was the person they were looking for, they would be rewarded with fifty dollars.

Even if I'm not sure, I would still give ten dollars, provided that they really look alike.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, and these drivers are very motivated now.

They pulled the cart and earned less than a dollar a day, but if they found someone they could earn fifty dollars, which was enough for them to give it a try.

The reward cannot be too little. The driver may not know that the person he catches has no chance of survival. Even if a timid person finds the person, he may not dare to report it for fear of retaliation.

Only a high enough reward can attract them.

Not only them, but also their own people who find Japanese spies will receive this reward.

Fifty dollars to buy a Japanese spy is a very good deal.

Previously, the reward for finding someone was only one or two dollars, because there were a lot of people to check. This is a train station, and the Japanese spies are evacuating after receiving the order. In such a short period of time, even if there are people who look similar to the Japanese spies, there won’t be many of them.

In order to ensure that the Japanese spies would not escape, Xu Qingyun offered a high reward to motivate these people.

"Chief, a driver reported that they found one."

"Take someone to confirm immediately."

Xu Qingyun immediately replied that the reward had worked. They had limited manpower and only two Japanese agents to help them identify people and start the driver, which could prevent them from missing anyone.

Soon Japanese agents confirmed that the newly discovered object did belong to the Shanghai Special High Section.

And he is Iijima's man, his confidant who he brought from the headquarters.

"Find a way to lure him out and arrest him."

Iijima's confidant must be captured first. Once he is captured, we can ask him about Iijima's situation. Once the confidant appears, it can be basically confirmed that Iijima came to Nanjing.

"Yes."

The subordinates received the order, but it was not easy to lure out the Japanese spy, so they used a trick and deliberately found a shrew, gave her a lot of money, and asked her to deliberately create a conflict and quarrel with the Japanese spy.

When they were arguing, their people didn't get close to each other.

The other team members put on police uniforms, pretended to be police officers and took them away.

The arrest went smoothly. The Japanese spy did not think about being exposed. He did step on the shrew's foot, but he did not expect to meet a guy who was unreasonable and would not give in even if he was willing to pay compensation.

Don't say that he has lustful intentions.

He would rather solve the problem himself than have to deal with an old woman in her forties.

He was indeed alert when he was taken away by the police, but the police were very casual. They tried to persuade him first, and only took them away when persuasion didn't work. Moreover, the police did not directly take out their guns, which confused him a little.

From beginning to end, his hand was touching the gun. If the gun was discovered on him, he would have to evacuate by force.

He was indeed well prepared, but unfortunately he met a professional.

He was controlled before he even had time to take out his gun.

"Take him back and interrogate him immediately. Use the electric chair directly. Report the results immediately."

Iijima had not appeared yet, and Xu Qingyun did not leave. He ordered Jason's men to go back and interrogate the man. This Japanese spy could not enjoy the half-hour package, so they had to pry his mouth open as soon as possible to find out where Iijima was.

"Chief Xu, the man we arrested has confessed."

Just after taking the Japanese spy away, Xiang Jason came over with his men. The two Japanese spies who had been in the hotel had been captured by them and taken back for interrogation.

They enjoyed the set meal for half an hour, but it didn't last long and both of them confessed everything.

According to their confessions, they did come to Nanjing with Iijima to carry out a mission, but it was not clear what the specific mission was. All they knew was that a lot of people came, by water, train, and land.

After arriving in Nanjing, they waited for Iijima's orders and were not allowed to go out on normal days.

As for the fact that some people left early, they had no idea and no one came to pick up their luggage.

The luggage contained only clothes and nothing else.

As for guns, they all carried them with them.

Without guns, these things would be lost, and Iijima would help them buy them when he returned.

"They don't know where Iijima is?"

"I don't know. After receiving the signal, they prepared to evacuate. They have no idea what the specific mission is this time."

Xiang Jason shook his head. He thought he had made a great contribution by catching the two men, but in the end they knew nothing.

Xu Qingyun didn't say anything. He understood that the hope of finding Iijima was becoming increasingly slim. It was very likely that Iijima had left long ago, and no one knew where he was now.

"Notify the people in Suzhou immediately and have them send someone to search the train. If they find someone who looks like him, arrest him immediately."

Xu Qingyun ordered that no one knew when Iijima would leave, and he was also not sure whether he could find him by intercepting him in Suzhou.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.

"Yes."

Following Jason's orders, the Military Intelligence Department has people in Suzhou, but not many, but they can ask the garrison police for help.

If we can really find Iijima and capture him, it will be a great achievement.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make it to Suzhou now, so he was destined to miss out on this credit.

At this time he already knew that Iijima had arrived in Nanjing.

But Hou Yigong did not catch the man. Everything was just guesswork by Deputy Section Chief Xu. It must be said that Deputy Section Chief Xu was very capable. Based on only some clues, he judged early on that Iijima had come to Nanjing and made arrangements.

No wonder he was promoted and he is still the team leader.

I can't accept it.

He sent a telegram back to Jason, hoping that Suzhou Station could intercept Iijima. Through him, they could know the situation of all the Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing and no longer have to search for them one by one.

On the other side, Yan Ming forcibly took Bailing back to the city.

Despite his comfort, Bailing was still very scared and cried all the way. When they arrived at the Military Intelligence Department, Yan Ming immediately asked Dai Jieying to come back to comfort her.

Dai Jieying is a little girl and is more easily approached by Bailing.

"Let John go first, I'll be back in a minute."

When Xu Qingyun saw the people sent by Yan Ming, he immediately made arrangements. There was also progress on Yan Ming's side, but unfortunately he couldn't split himself now.

Relatively speaking, Iijima is more important, but it is a pity that it is difficult to catch him this time.

As the sky gradually darkened, Iijima's confidant who had been arrested earlier began to speak.

However, he didn't know where Iijima was. He only knew that Iijima took one person out each time and asked them to observe from a distance.

This is an important clue. There is a high possibility that there are hidden Japanese spies in the place where Iijima went.

But they didn't know the exact location where Iijima went. During the screening, Iijima didn't even bring his confidants with him in order to protect the hidden agents.

But they were deployed nearby so that they could support him at any time.

This gave Xu Qingyun an opportunity.

All these places were noted down.

It was finally dark and we were unable to find Iijima, but there were two more people blocking the way at the train station.

Including the two people captured on the train, a total of seven Japanese spies were captured this time, the only one missing was the person who called to notify them to evacuate.

That man is Iijima's confidant, and he will definitely evacuate. If he hides in the city temporarily, there is still hope of catching him. If he leaves the city by land, there is basically no possibility of catching him.

Capturing seven Japanese spies at one time can be said to be a great victory.

In the past, that would have been a huge victory, but unfortunately Xu Qingyun was not happy at all. He failed to catch Iijima, which was a failure.

According to the confessions of the captured people, Iijima is still in Nanjing today, and an emergency retreat order was later issued.

"Section Chief."

In the evening, Xu Qingyun returned to the Military Intelligence Department. John had been waiting there for a long time and asked for additional waiting fees.

Xu Qingyun was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked him to draw the portrait immediately.

It can now be confirmed that Meng Lidong was murdered, and the person who killed him was closely related to Yang Qichao. He was either Yang Qichao's confidant or someone who helped him with the Japanese.

If he is a confidant, he may even know the specific situation of Yang Qichao.

These two people must be found out.

"The painting is done."

Two hours later, John put down his paintbrush with satisfaction. This time the painting was good and he was very satisfied with his painting skills.

He has been painting non-stop recently and believes that his painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Even if he cannot do business, if he really becomes a master of painting, the value of his works will be greatly increased in the future, and even one painting can be sold for thousands of dollars, or even more.

It's a great bargain for these Chinese people, who have so many of his works in their hands.

He feels good about himself and is really good at self-hypnosis.

There are many painters like him in Nanjing, not just in the United States. If he couldn't draw the structure that Xu Qingyun described, Xu Qingyun would not have used him at all.

"Give him money."

Xu Qingyun took the portrait and immediately asked someone to send John back.

Bailing had to stay here to prevent the news from leaking out. Yang Qichao heard the news. John didn't know Bailing's identity and he was a foreigner, so there was no need to keep him here.

As for money, giving him two more dollars is nothing.

"Take photos immediately and offer a large reward for finding these two people. Any clues about them will also be rewarded."

Xu Qingyun ordered that these two people were the key and must be found first.

"Qingyun, are you done?"

Just after giving the order, Xu Zhanjie came over and went to the interrogation room, where the interrogation of seven Japanese spies had already ended.

Catching seven people is indeed good, but it’s a pity that we failed to catch the most important big fish.

There has been no news sent back from Suzhou, which means they haven't caught the person yet.

So much time has passed and the hope of catching Iijima is becoming increasingly slim.

"Just finished, how are you doing?"

Xu Qingyun hurriedly asked Xu Zhanjie to sit down, and Xu Zhanjie sighed: "There are six tricks, and one is dead."

"died?"

Xu Qingyun was slightly stunned. Those who used torture were very experienced and would not use heavy hands casually and would never beat anyone to death.

"He was ill and refused to confess. He couldn't hold out when he was put on the electric chair."

Japanese spies were generally very tough-talkers, and many of them only confessed after being put on the electric chair. This was related to their brainwashing in Bushido, where many people were indoctrinated to be loyal to the emperor and willing to sacrifice themselves for him.

Many Japanese are not afraid of death, especially these agents.

This person was not electrocuted to death, but it was closely related to the electric chair. He suddenly fell ill after being put on the electric chair and could not be saved.

"Teacher, we have found some clues and are investigating."

There was no one else around at this time, so Xu Qingyun addressed him directly as teacher. Xu Zhanjie nodded and said, "Your case is more serious. We failed to catch Iijima this time. We'll catch him next time."

"Teacher, we didn't catch him, but Iijima left us important clues. His confidants told us about some places where there must be hidden Japanese spies. We only need to find one or two to get a rough idea of ​​their range."

Iijima's confidant was not around, but he would not be too far away. The Japanese spy was in disguise, and based on the location revealed by the confidant, he conducted a detailed search of the surroundings.

As long as they can find one or two, they will roughly know how far away Iijima asked him to wait, and then they can narrow down the investigation to other places.

Iijima thought he was smart, but he still left a loophole.

Just like what Xu Qingyun often said, many things will leave traces once they are done, and these traces will become the key to solving the case.

"There are still these. Okay, you continue to investigate this case and find all these Japanese spies as soon as possible."

Xu Zhanjie was slightly startled. He arrived quite late, walked around inside and then left. It was Xu Qingyun who ordered Iijima's confidant to come back for a surprise interrogation, and he did not see the confession.

There were too many things going on today, and Xiang Jason was also busy. He only reported the situation of a few people at that time, and he did not have time to read all the confessions.
