The Spy

Chapter 25 Test
Xu Zhanjie took Xu Qingyun into the car. With the roar of the engine, the car started slowly and drove to the mysterious and solemn courtyard.

The courtyard is located in a quiet corner of the city, surrounded by high walls and strict access control. This is the location of the Tianjin Station of the Military Intelligence Department, and every inch of land is filled with confidentiality and mystery.

The spacious courtyard is like a small manor. In the center of the courtyard stands a three-story building, which is simple and elegant. Next to the building, there are several bungalows scattered in an orderly manner.

This yard is very close to Xu Qingyun’s police station, just a few streets away. For Xu Qingyun, who needs to run back and forth, this can save a lot of time and can quickly deal with various emergencies in an emergency.

"Qingyun, this is your office. Get familiar with the environment and your colleagues first. I look forward to your new achievements."

After Xu Zhanjie took him to visit other places, he sent him to a large office. Like the police station, the captain did not have a separate office and worked together with his subordinates.

"Thank you, Chief Xu."

Xu Qingyun looked around the office. It was much more spacious than the collective office he had previously used at the police station, and there were slightly more people in it. Including his team, there were a total of thirteen people.

"Still calling him Section Chief?"

Xu Zhanjie frowned deliberately, and Xu Qingyun immediately lowered his head: "Thank you, teacher."

"now it's right."

Xu Zhanjie smiled with satisfaction, and Wu Shaoshu shook his head slightly, not knowing whether it was good or bad for him to have Xu Qingyun in the station.

He was aware of Xu Zhanjie's admiration for this young man, and in order to bring Xu Qingyun into the Military Intelligence Department, he even allowed him to continue his position in the police station.

Such treatment is unique among people below the level of team leader of the Military Intelligence Department.

What's more, Xu Qingyun was appointed as the acting captain as soon as he arrived. The previous captain had been transferred by Xu Zhanjie and directly sent back to the headquarters.

The headquarters is large and has more high-ranking people. One can imagine the treatment that the captain received when he arrived at the headquarters.

Cao Yunfeng was also there, following behind Wu Shaoshu. Although he was the head of the intelligence team, he was unaware of this appointment. It was only after the person was transferred that he learned that the headquarters had transferred his confidant away in order to make way for Xu Qingyun.

This made him angry.

"Come here."

Xu Zhanjie waved his hand, and the other twelve people in the office had already stood up and immediately gathered around when they heard the order.

"This is Xu Qingyun, your acting captain. The five Japanese spies that were recently captured by the police station were his achievements. I have asked him to bring the case report, and I will tell you about it in person later. In the future, follow your captain Xu and make more achievements."

Xu Zhanjie personally introduced himself. He had been in the Military Intelligence Department for the past two days and these people already knew his identity.

The head of the intelligence department at headquarters, a more powerful figure than their station chief.

"Yes, we will definitely follow the captain's orders and make more achievements."

Someone shouted immediately, and Xu Qingyun looked at him. He was not tall and had a rather ordinary appearance, but he exuded a sense of cleverness. When he saw Xu Qingyun looking at him, he immediately nodded and bowed in response.

"We follow the captain's orders..."

The others hurriedly followed suit and expressed their opinions. Xu Zhanjie understood that these people were not convinced, and it was normal for people in the intelligence team to have such emotions.

They are elites selected from all over the place and have undergone professional training, but Xu Zhanjie understands that the so-called careful selection has to be discounted, and some personal connections or relationships are inevitable.

"Very good, Qingyun, you stay. I'll find you later."

Xu Zhanjie left alone and let Xu Qingyun get acquainted with his subordinates first. Then he would conduct some tests on Xu Qingyun.

He wanted to accept a disciple, but it was not easy to get in. He wanted to see if Xu Qingyun's performance was as good as what he wrote in his case report.

"Captain, this is your desk."

The first person to support him came over and took Xu Qingyun to the desk near the window.

This desk has the best view and the best location, and has always been the captain's desk.

The previous captain received the transfer order, but had no time to pack up. Xu Qingyun did not touch any items on the table, but just took a few glances at them.

"What's your name?"

"My humble name is Yan Ming, Yan means swallow, and Ming means a stunning sound." Yan Ming immediately gave his name. The name sounds nice, but I wonder what kind of person he is.

Xu Qingyun wrote down his name, called the others one by one, and asked them all, not only their names, but also their specialties, their identities before joining the Military Intelligence Department, etc.

Xu Zhanjie was sitting in his makeshift office, looking at his watch.

When the time came, he immediately picked up the phone: "Qingyun, come to my office."

"is teacher."

At this moment, Xu Qingyun had just chatted with all his subordinates and learned about their situations.

After going out, Xu Qingyun walked towards Xu Zhanjie's office. When he came, Xu Zhanjie introduced his office, which was a room on the side of the second floor.

His office was on the first floor. When going upstairs, Xu Qingyun suddenly paused.

There were obvious footprints at the stairs. After carefully observing the shape of the footprints, Xu Qingyun went upstairs.

At the office door, Xu Qingyun looked carefully and found a faint mark on one side of the door, with only a slight outline and only on the toe part.

Raising his hand, Xu Qingyun did not knock on the door.

He noticed again that there was a thin line on the crack of the door. The color of the line was similar to that of the door. If he had not discovered the footprints before, he might not have noticed this thin line.

After checking the door carefully, Xu Qingyun gently pulled the thin wire with little force. He knew that there could be no bomb tied to the wire, but he must pay attention to what he should pay attention to.

Xu Qingyun carefully controlled the thin wire to prevent it from breaking, and slowly opened the door.

Xu Zhanjie kept looking at the door and saw that the thin wire moved slightly, but the cup hanging next to it did not fall down. Instead, the door was opened. He smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Qingyun did not disappoint him and noticed this little detail.

"Teacher, you are looking for me."

After coming in, Xu Qingyun looked at the ground again and immediately noticed footprints in front of the desk, but they were different from the ones at the stairs and were not from the same person.

"Yes, someone just came here. Do you know who it was?" Xu Zhanjie asked directly.

"Team Leader Cao." Xu Qingyun glanced at the ground and replied immediately.

"You found it from the footprints?"

Xu Zhanjie became interested and asked immediately, and Xu Qingyun nodded.

"I remember you haven't seen him before. How do you know that this footprint was left by him?" Xu Zhanjie asked again.

"I have never seen him before, but I saw him today and noticed his footprints. This one belongs to him."

Xu Qingyun explained that it was his habit to always pay attention to any footprints around him. He wrote down not only Cao Yunfeng's footprints, but also the footprints of other people he had seen.

"Very good, there is a footprint by the window, go and see whose it is."

Xu Zhanjie gave the order, and Xu Qingyun walked over immediately. Sure enough, there were two footprints by the window and a layer of dust on the ground.

This is a deliberate mark.

"Teacher, I don't know whose shoes these are, but this footprint was deliberately placed there. It's not because someone was standing here."

"Any more?"

Xu Zhanjie became interested and stood up.

"These are new shoes, cloth shoes. The person who wears these shoes has small feet and should be about 1.7 meters tall. If it's someone next to you, I guess Team Leader Yang just bought these new shoes."

Team leader Yang’s name is Yang Wenxu, team leader of Group 2 of the Intelligence Section of the Military Intelligence Department, and he followed Xu Zhanjie here.

After listening to Xu Qingyun, Xu Zhanjie laughed with satisfaction.
