The Spy

Chapter 279 Wake Up Yourself
"Yes."

Zhao San took the order and left. Xu Qingyun figured out what was going on and was in a good mood.

But what about Fu Wenzhen? Why hasn’t he taken any action yet?
Dai Jieying has already confirmed Jin Zian's identity as a Red Party member. Yan Ming often comes to report on the situation. At least he has not evacuated yet.

"Team Leader Fu, are you going to the hospital in this state?"

In the infirmary, the doctor at the station said to Fu Wen Zheng that he was not feeling well today and had come to the infirmary specially for a check-up. After examination, the doctor at the station found that he had caught a cold.

Simply put, I have a cold.

In later generations, colds are easy to cure, but now, including in the past, if a cold is not treated in time, it may cause pneumonia and be very likely to be fatal.

In an era without anti-inflammatory drugs, a small inflammation could expand infinitely.

"No, just give me some medicine."

Fu Wenzhen shook his head. He thought Feng Han was the one who caused the cold on purpose. Now was the busiest time and without a suitable excuse, he had no way to go out and make the connections.

"Most of what I have here is Western medicine and trauma medicine. If you want to take medicine, you have to go out and buy it yourself."

The doctor shook his head and said that there was currently no very good medicine to treat colds, but it was available in pharmacies outside. As for the prescription, there was no need to write it down, as every pharmacy had a good prescription for treating colds.

"It's okay, I'll go out and buy it."

This was exactly what Fu Wenzhen wanted. After leaving the infirmary, Fu Wenzhen came to Yan Ming's office.

"Team Leader Yan, I'm sorry, I need to take a leave and go out for a while."

Now is the critical moment to screen out Japanese spies. Even with a certificate from the infirmary, Fu Wenzhen still needs to come back and report it.

"Ask for leave?" Yan Ming asked in surprise. Fu Wenzhen has always performed well. He was originally just the team leader, and now his promotion to deputy team leader is proof of that.

"I feel a little unwell. I just went to the infirmary, but they don't have any medicine. I need to go out and buy some."

Fu Wenzhen explained. Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up and walked to Fu Wenzhen and touched his forehead.

"You don't need to ask for leave, go back and rest immediately. I'll let Jieying help you with the work here."

Fu Wenzhen has worked very hard during this period and helped them a lot. When he touched it just now, Fu Wenzhen's forehead was very hot, obviously he had a fever. Once you have a fever due to a cold, you must pay attention and have a good rest.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

Fu Wenzhen smiled and shook his head. Yan Ming not only agreed to his request for leave, but also directly let him go back to rest.

"No, this is an order."

Yan Ming replied seriously that Fu Wenzhen was not his subordinate, but was now on secondment to the intelligence team, so he was qualified to give orders to him.

"Thank you, Team Leader Yan. I'll come again tomorrow."

It would be better if he didn't have to come back, otherwise he wouldn't be able to communicate with Guo Shisheng for a long time, and he would have time to explain the details clearly.

This incident made him once again feel the difference between Xu Qingyun and the people he brought with him.

They care about their subordinates. Now that Wuhan Station has so many incentives, I believe many people in the station are willing to work hard for their stationmaster.

It is indeed easy for such a webmaster to achieve results. No wonder Xu Qingyun was promoted so quickly.

"Okay, if you don't feel better tomorrow, you can rest for another day."

Yan Ming had reminded them that Fu Wenzhen was indeed capable and had helped them a lot. If Fu Wenzhen was not around, Dai Jieying would probably be even more tired.

The action leader, Lu Gaowa, was impeccable in his actions, but unfortunately Fu Wenzhen was far better than him in handling cases.

If there was no other way and Dai Jieying was too busy, he would have let Fu Wenzhen rest at home for three days.

Fu Wenzhen rode away on his bike, calculating the time to reach the pharmacy.

The meeting place he and Guo Shisheng agreed upon was right here.

When I bought the medicine, the time was up.

He was always looking outside the door. There was a tea stall outside. The tea here was cheap and it was open-air. The stall owner had set up a big shed. As long as it didn't rain too heavily, the stall could do business.

If it rains heavily, they have an emergency plan and will change the connection to another place.

The weather is nice today. It is five o'clock in the afternoon and there are many people at the tea stall, drinking tea and chatting.

Guo Shisheng had already arrived at the tea stall, ten minutes earlier than Fu Wenzhen.

He did not change his residence, and Fu Wenzheng knew where he lived. Now Fu Wenzheng was just dormant, not out of contact. Once he left and Fu Wenzheng could not contact him, that would mean he had truly lost contact with the organization.

He noticed the signal Fu Wenzhen left for him this morning.

This signal gave him a fright.

Fu Wenzheng took the initiative to meet him?

What happened that made Fu Wenzhen, who was in a dormant state, come out on his own?
Guo Shisheng didn't know what had happened, but he understood that it must be a big deal, otherwise Fu Wenzhen would not have done this.

After noticing Guo Shisheng and buying the medicine, Fu Wenzhen immediately walked over. He did not sit with Guo Shisheng, but sat back to back with him.

"You are violating discipline, do you know that?"

When Guo Shisheng called for tea, he immediately said in a low voice.

"It's an emergency. This is not the right place to talk. Let's go to place number three."

Fu Wenzhen immediately replied that he had been dormant for nearly a year and had a lot of things to report, and this place was only suitable for simple transmission of information.

The main reason was that he couldn’t draw any other complex signals yesterday, so he used this one first and then changed places when we met.

After drinking his tea, Fu Wenzhen stood up first, and soon Guo Shisheng followed him.

"Old Guo, I know I can't wake myself up, but this time the situation is urgent. The Party Affairs Investigation Office has been keeping an eye on several of our comrades at the power plant, one of whom is called Jin Zian..."

Arriving at location number three, Fu Wenzhen immediately said.

Even if he didn't have to go back to the Military Intelligence Department today, he couldn't stay outside for too long, otherwise, if his whereabouts were checked, it would be easy for something to get into trouble.

"Are you sure we are comrades?"

"It has been confirmed that the Party Affairs Investigation Department wants to expand the results of the battle, so they have not taken action yet. I am worried that the Military Intelligence Department will take credit and take action in advance to arrest people."

Fu Wenzheng continued, "A lot of things have happened in the Military Intelligence Department recently. Xu Qingyun is really powerful. They are currently investigating Japanese spies on a large scale. People in the organization who use fake names must be careful not to be found to be abnormal by them.

"Also, I am now the deputy leader of the action team. The people in the Jin Zian case were borrowed from me. The people I sent are quite capable, so you must pay attention to them."

Time was limited, so Fu Wenzhen spoke very quickly.

"I understand, you go back first."

Guo Shisheng understood that they could not stay outside for too long, otherwise it would easily bring danger to Fu Wenzheng.

There was no need for Fu Wenzhen to provide any information, as they all knew how powerful Xu Qingyun was.

Their hometown had even warned them to be more careful when working in Wuhan. Xu Qingyun was not an ordinary agent. He was more difficult to deal with than the spies from the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

"Okay, I'll wait for the organization's punishment. I'll accept any punishment."

Fu Wenzhen nodded immediately. He was forcibly waking himself up, which was a violation of discipline. If it weren't for special circumstances, he wouldn't have made such a mistake.

The most important thing right now is to ensure the safe evacuation of his comrades.

Thinking of so many spies watching him, Fu Wenzheng was a little worried. It was not easy for Jin Zian to evacuate. The Party Affairs Investigation Office arranged ten agents, and they had sixteen, a total of more than twenty people. Moreover, he learned more during this period. Jin Zian was only one person, but some of the people who had close contact with him had families with them, making it even more difficult to evacuate.

Guo Shisheng left quickly, but did not forget to counter the tracking on the way.

After making sure that no one was following him, he immediately went to Secretary Yuan to report on his work.

“Secretary Yuan, Flame suddenly sent a signal today, and I went to see him.”

Guo Shisheng spoke quickly, and Secretary Yuan immediately looked at him.

Flame is Fu Wen Zheng's code name. In order to protect Fu Wen Zheng, they now only call him by the code name. Even if the spies really hear it, at least they won't know who he is immediately.

There can be no negligence in the work behind enemy lines, and this is also what Mr. Ke told them.

"Why did he see you?"

Fu Wenzhen was ordered to lie dormant, and now was not the time to activate him. Secretary Yuan and Guo Shisheng thought the same thing. Fu Wenzhen suddenly woke himself up, which must be something very important.

"He said that the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Military Intelligence Department were targeting several of our comrades at the same time, and the leader was Jin Zian."

"Jin Zian was exposed?"

Secretary Yuan couldn't sit still anymore. Guo Shisheng and Jin Zian were not on the same page, and he was not sure about Jin Zian's true identity.

But Secretary Yuan knew that Jin Zian had been lurking in the power plant for two years, had made remarkable achievements in his work, and had developed many new comrades in the trade union.

"Yes, there are at least twenty-six agents watching him now."

Guo Shisheng immediately understood that Jin Zian was indeed his comrade. No wonder Fu Wenzheng would rather violate discipline and pass this information to him.

"so many?"

Secretary Yuan was stunned again. With more than twenty spies, Jin Zian was in great danger and might be caught at any time.

Not only will he be arrested, but all the other comrades in the power plant will also be arrested.

"Secretary Yuan, do you want to start a rescue immediately?"

Guo Shisheng asked carefully. With so many spies watching, it would be basically impossible for him to evacuate. Moreover, he was not the only one with Jin Zian.

It's okay if it's just one person, but if there are several people, the spies will arrest them immediately if there is any unusual movement.

"How did Flame know this?"

Secretary Yuan did not answer but asked a question in return.

"The Military Intelligence Department trusts him very much. All the investigators are borrowed from him. In addition, he has been promoted to deputy team leader. He also said that the Military Intelligence Department is conducting a large-scale investigation of Japanese spies recently. We who use fake identities should pay attention to safety, as we may be accidentally injured by them."

Guo Shisheng and Fu Wenzhen had not been together for long, but Fu Wenzhen had already briefly reported the important matters.

"Fake identity?"

Secretary Yuan had a headache again. Most people in the organization used their real names, but there were also people who used fake identities.

Most of them were discovered by the Party Affairs Investigation Office and were forced to change their names.

One of them is Niu Yuanxiang who just arrived not long ago.

Fortunately, there are not many such people. It seems that we need to remind them in time so as not to be discovered by the Military Intelligence Department. It is true that the Military Intelligence Department mainly catches Japanese spies, but they will still arrest them if they are discovered.

For the Fruit Party, they are the biggest threat.

"Secretary Yuan, I'm leaving first."

Guo Shisheng stood up. He had already reported what he needed to report and could not stay here any longer. As for whether to launch an armed rescue, Secretary Yuan had not answered just now, so he could not ask again.

He understood Secretary Yuan's concerns and was worried that rescuing Fu Wenzhen now would expose him.

Fu Wenzhen is already the deputy leader of the action team and a senior member of the Military Intelligence Department's Wuhan Station. If he is exposed because of this incident, the loss will be too great.

But we have to save our comrades.

"Be careful on the road and stay safe."

Secretary Yuan stood up to see him off. He did not answer just now, and he did have this in mind.

Now we have to save people without letting Fu Wenzhen be suspected.

Are there other comrades with fake identities? Should they avoid them first?
If I avoid it, will it bring danger to Fu Wenzhen?
Secretary Yuan himself didn’t know what to do at the moment, and no matter what choice he made, it would be difficult.

"Stationmaster, there is something seriously wrong with Yin Xingze. He is very likely a Japanese spy."

In the evening, Yan Ming came to see Xu Qingyun excitedly. After several days of investigation, he did not expect that the first person to be verified was not the teacher from the school, but Yin Xingze who had just arrived in Wuhan.

Because Yin Xingze had been here for too short a time, he was not included in the key investigation target before.

When verifying his identity, it was unexpectedly discovered that he was using a fake identity. Yin Xingze's information showed that he had attended a middle school, and the principal of that school happened to be in Wuhan.

Yin Xingze's hometown is in the enemy-occupied area. The principal has been in Wuhan for several years and is currently the vice principal of a school. He has a good memory.

All my students know about it.

Schools at that time were not like those in later generations. Every school was packed with people. An ordinary middle school at that time had at most a few hundred students.

Yin Xingze's previous school had only more than a hundred students, with only a few dozen new students enrolled each year.

He was sure that Yin Xingze had never studied in their school. The surname Yin was rare, so he would not be unaware of such a student.

The school files were falsified, so Yan Ming immediately asked Dai Jieying to verify his situation in person.

Through the place written on his information, Dai Jieying found Yin Xingze's hometown, but there was no such person at all.

The school and the family were all in the process of fabricating information. Dai Jieying searched his house when he was not at home and discovered the anti-reconnaissance arrangement.

There is anti-reconnaissance arrangement, he must have another identity, very likely a Japanese spy.

He arrived in Wuhan just a few days after the new head of Wuhan Special High Section Yoshinaga Shuhei, and it was very likely that he was a hidden agent brought by Yoshinaga when he took office.

"Is he being watched?"

"We've already kept an eye on him. Yin Xingze was the one Fu Wenzheng found out had a problem with. Unfortunately, Fu Wenzheng is sick, so we haven't told him the good news yet."

Although there is no concrete evidence yet, Yan Ming is 90% sure that Yin Xingze is a Japanese spy.

The smell on him was so familiar, totally typical of a Japanese spy.

It seems that the new section chief brought some people here to lurk. I wonder how many of them can be caught in this investigation.

"What happened to Fu Wenzhen?" Xu Qingyun asked immediately.

"Typhoid fever. He does have a fever. He asked for leave to buy medicine. I told him to go home and rest. If he doesn't get better tomorrow, I won't let him come any more."

Yan Ming replied that Fu Wenzhen was in good health and seemed to be too tired during this period.

It was not only Fu Wenzhen who was sick. There were also two people from the intelligence team. One of them also went home to rest. The other one's condition was not serious. Yan Ming agreed to let him continue working, but did not agree to let him work overtime. He sent him back home at the end of the get off work time.

Health always comes first. What will you do in the future if you exhaust yourself?
This investigation will not take just one or two days, so you must be in good spirits before you come back.
