The Spy

Chapter 307 Qingyun, do you want to go to Shanghai?

In Shanghai, Zhao San's investigation is progressing rapidly.

He remembered every word the stationmaster said. Xu Qingyun said the same thing for every case.

The direction of investigation is very important. If the direction is right, you will soon reap rewards. Once the direction is wrong, you will go in the opposite direction and will definitely not get the results you want in the end.

Unless you are lucky and stumble upon it by accident.

This time, Zhao San found the right direction and made rapid progress.

"Secretary Zhao, we have confirmed that Xiao Cui is Wan Jinwen's woman and has been with Wan Jinwen for some time. According to the landlord, Xiao Cui said she had to go on a long trip for something. I sneaked into her house and found that some of her things were indeed missing, but she didn't take some things."

It only took Dai Jieying half a day to find the woman who had a relationship with Wan Jinwen.

The main reason was that someone saw Wan Jinwen driving to pick up Xiao Cui.

She found the landlord in the name of renting a house and got the information that Xiao Cui was out, but the landlord said that it was the tenant who told him these things.

Dai Jieying has already found out that the tenant is Wan Jinwen, but he used a fake name.

"What are these?"

Zhao San looked at the photos that Dai Jieying brought back and asked softly.

They were unsure about Xiao Cui's situation, so Dai Jieying only took pictures after entering the room and did not touch anything inside to avoid Xiao Cui coming back suddenly and finding that her things were missing.

“Makeup and skin care products are not cheap.”

Dai Jieying whispered that this was her advantage as a woman. Zhao San only recognized a few things in the box, such as the vanishing cream.

I can recognize Vanishing Cream because of its advertisement.

"According to our understanding, Wan Jinwen is usually very nice to Xiao Cui and often takes her out to buy these things."

Dai Jieying added that women naturally love beauty. Xiao Cui is good-looking and is someone else's mistress, so she will definitely pay more attention to her makeup.

"Acting team leader, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly. I don't know as much about women as you do."

In fact, Zhao San already understood why Dai Jieying took these photos and reported them.

A woman who loves beauty will definitely bring a lot of things with her when she goes out for a long time, especially things that can make her more beautiful.

"These are all new. If Xiao Cui really doesn't come back for a long time, she can't have kept all of them, especially the lip balm and rouge. These are used up very quickly. She will definitely bring some extra as a backup."

Dai Jieying said softly. Zhao San's eyebrows jumped and he immediately asked, "Is it possible that she only brought what she needs now? Even if she doesn't have it anymore, she can buy more?"

"Secretary Zhao, you are not a woman."

Dai Jieying smiled. Zhao San’s performance was indeed good, but unfortunately he was a man and didn’t understand women as well as she did.

"First of all, she left on her own, which is abnormal. Normally, she is relying on Wan Jinwen now. Without Wan Jinwen, she would not leave for too long. Secondly, the things she uses are not cheap. Even if she has money, she probably won't buy them herself. She will take them with her if they are ready-made."

Women really understand women. The things Dai Jieying discovered alone are worth more than her monthly salary.

It's just the salary, not her bonus.

"What about her family?"

"We are investigating. The people we sent out haven't come back yet."

After thinking for a while, Zhao San suddenly stood up and said, "Come on, take me to Xiao Cui's house."

Zhao San would not keep waiting. Since Xiao Cui's departure was suspicious, he needed to go to the scene to take a look.

Xiao Cui and Wan Jinwen have a special relationship. At present, there are four possibilities.

The first is what the landlord said, Xiao Cui left alone, but Xiao Cui’s father passed away, and only her mother was at home, and her home was not too far away, so where could she go alone?
The possibility of this is very low.

The second Xiao Cui is Wan Jinwen's weak point. She has been controlled by the Japanese and forced Wan Jinwen to work for the Japanese.

But according to his investigations during this period, Wan Jinwen is very ambitious and does not seem like the kind of person who would bow down to a woman. However, nothing can be said for sure. If Xiao Cui had already been instigated by the Japanese, or was a female spy instigated by the Japanese like Fang Rou, it is very likely that she had bewitched Wan Jinwen.

This is the third possibility.

After capturing Fang Rou, they did learn that the Japanese had a special Sakura Plan that used the beauty trap, but according to Fang Rou's confession, the people they were targeting were all powerful high-ranking officials.

Wan Jinwen's rank is not low, but unfortunately he is only in the Military Intelligence Department, which does not meet their requirements for using this kind of beauty trap.

The reason they used Fang Rou to assassinate their station chief was because he had inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese.

After the assassination is completed, Fang Rou will go on to perform other tasks.

In addition, there is one more important point.

Dai Jieying got the photo of Xiao Cui, which was in the house where she lived.

Zhao San looked at the photo. Xiao Cui looked good, but was far inferior to Fang Rou.

Fang Rou was the woman who made his heart flutter when he first met her.

This possibility is also not high.

The fourth possibility is that Xiao Cui had an accident, or is dead.

The Japanese were ruthless and merciless. The Nanjing team leader launched a thundering attack, dealing a heavy blow to the Shanghai Special High Section. Ouchi Ken was too eager to instigate Wan Jinwen to defect and gain merit, so what did sacrificing Xiao Cui matter?
Some people are born to be intelligence agents, such as Zhao San.

Although he did not have as many abilities as Xu Qingyun, nor did he have Xu Qingyun's many years of experience in handling cases in later generations, his analysis was already very accurate and close to the truth.

So Zhao San wanted to go to the scene to take a look.

In Nanjing, Wan Jinwen arrived at No. 13 West Fourth Street, a few minutes before the meeting time.

Xu Qingyun did not follow in. He left immediately after finding the footprints. However, he asked people to secretly monitor all the entrances and exits around him. Everyone held a camera and took pictures of everyone who passed by.

West Fourth Street is a wide street, but not crowded. If he rashly follows in, he might be discovered by someone observing secretly.

If Wan Jinwen is really the contact, no matter who he is contacting, he will definitely be very alert.

Especially the Japanese, they will be more careful.

The Japanese suffered such heavy losses in Nanking that no one would look down on them anymore, and those who looked down on them or didn’t pay attention were finished long ago.

Xu Qingyun's caution worked.

Iijima was just diagonally opposite No. 13, observing everyone who passed by with a telescope.

He will not meet with Wan Jinwen directly until he is sure about Wan Jinwen's situation.

Wan Jinwen is extremely valuable, and his identity cannot be known to too many people. This time, Iijima is personally observing and guarding. He believes that with his professional ability, he will be able to see it if there is any problem with Wan Jinwen.

No. 13 West Fourth Street is a bookstore. Wan Jinwen did not see Iijima when he entered.

The time had not yet come, so Wan Jinwen walked inside, found a secluded spot, and casually flipped through the books on the shelves.

Iijima watched him enter the bookstore and immediately looked around. There were not many pedestrians on the street, so it was easy to tell that the people coming and going were normal. Wan Jinwen came alone and no one followed him.

At present, there is no problem for Wan Jinwen.

Seeing that it was past twelve o'clock, Iijima went downstairs and dialed a number on a public phone nearby.

"Lotus, there is no one named Lotus here?"

The phone in the bookstore rang. The shopkeeper answered the phone with a puzzled look on his face. When he heard his voice, Wan Jinwen immediately came over.

"Sorry, it's mine."

The shopkeeper looked at him in surprise. A grown man with a name like Lotus?

Even though Wan Jinwen was very thick-skinned, he felt a little hot at this moment. He took the microphone and immediately said, "It's me."

"This time tomorrow, room 206 of Zhaoji Hotel on Heping Road."

"No, I have to study tomorrow and can't come out."

Before Iijima could finish his words, Wan Jinwen immediately replied that the class would start tomorrow and the director would personally preside over it, so he really didn't have time.

"What are you studying?"

Iijima's heart moved and he asked immediately.

"Where are you? I'll come find you now."

It was not convenient to say it clearly on the phone, and the shopkeeper was next to him, so Wan Jinwen directly proposed a meeting.

"You go to Zhaoji Hotel now."

After thinking for a while, Iijima said softly that he must find out what is going on with Wan Jinwen's studies, and also ask about Yue Yunxuan's situation.

These are all important information he needs to report to the section chief.

"it is good."

Wan Jinwen knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with Iijima's behavior of asking him out for a meeting but he did not show up.

The Japanese don't trust him.

He is now on a Japanese ship and has no way to get off. The Japanese have treated him like this, so it seems that he really needs to find a way to make more money to save up enough capital for his future.

After hanging up the phone, Wan Jinwen bought a book and left in a hurry.

When he came out, Iijima was still looking at him. Noticing that Wan Jinwen got on a rickshaw, Iijima looked around again.

Xu Qingyun didn't catch up in time.

However, Fang Laibao, who was in charge of observation at this intersection, had already noticed Wan Jinwen coming out and was preparing to arrange someone to follow him.

After observation, Iijima came out, hailed a rickshaw, and followed Wan Jinwen from a distance.

"Team leader, that rickshaw is suspicious."

Before the people arranged by Fang Laibao left the house, a team member noticed the rickshaw that Iijima was riding in.

When Iijima was in the car, he not only looked ahead, but also paid attention to what was behind him.

"The section chief really guessed it right. Follow carefully. Ning Diuwu wakes up. I will report to the section chief."

Fang Laibao said with a smile that Xu Qingyun was at the previous intersection, and he led his men to wait at the other intersection.

Zhaoji Hotel was on the other side, so Wan Jinwen did not take the original route.

"Chief, Wan Jinwen has left, and there seems to be someone following him. I have arranged for someone to follow him, and I have also asked someone to watch wherever their car passes."

Fang Laibao knew his boss's abnormal ability. No matter whether it was footprints or shoe prints, as long as the stationmaster saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize it.

He envied such a unique skill, but unfortunately he didn't learn it very well.

The footprints could be barely distinguished, but one could only make out the pair of shoes he was wearing at the time. As for his height, weight, and physical condition, he couldn't tell anything at all.

If the target changes his shoes, he will not be able to recognize them.

The section chief could see so many things and could even recognize a pair of shoes that didn't fit. He really admired him.

"Okay, let's go there."

Xu Qingyun immediately asked the driver to drive. In order to avoid being discovered by Wan Jinwen, he did not use the office's car this time.

The cars used were from a car rental company. The intelligence group already had a rickshaw company with good performance. After paying off the outstanding balance for the cars every month, there was still a lot of surplus.

Xu Zhanjie was more ambitious. Seeing that the rickshaw company was making money, he bought another 200 rickshaws in the same way, increasing the number of rickshaws in the company to 500.

The sudden expansion of their dealership gave other dealerships a fright.

Fortunately, Xu Zhanjie's increase was not much, which made them feel a little relieved.

However, everyone understands that this car dealership will definitely expand in the future. Since they have a strong background, no one can stop it.

As for Xu Zhanjie's initial promise not to expand the number of rickshaws, no one was smart enough to mention it.

To those who are truly powerful, so-called promises are as good as farts. If you really care about them, you will be the one who is in trouble.

Xu Zhanjie did not tell Xu Qingyun about the expansion of his car dealership. At that time, Xu Qingyun was still in Wuhan, and it was too late to stop him after he knew about it.

Just expand it, and prepare in advance to reduce losses.

The time to the war is getting shorter and shorter, and Nanjing, the thousand-year-old capital, has only one year of peaceful days left.

Noticing the tire tracks, Xu Qingyun asked someone to follow slowly from behind.

Fang Laibao's men were following behind on bicycles, but they did not follow them directly. Instead, they took a crossing approach and deliberately took a detour to the intersection ahead. After determining which road they took, they immediately arranged for others to go to the intersection ahead and keep an eye on them.

It's a different person each time. If the same person comes, he or she must change his or her coat. Also, if you go there early, you can't leave the car next to you.

The biggest advantage of this kind of surveillance is that you don’t have to follow them all the time. No matter how careful the other party is and always pays attention to their backs, they will not be able to detect their presence.

Wan Jinwen arrived at Zhaoji Hotel first.

He got out of the car and looked around.

He changed a rickshaw on the way, but unfortunately he did not change his clothes, so he was discovered by someone who had arrived at the intersection to monitor him.

Xu Qingyun followed behind, observing their car tracks all the time. Five minutes after Iijima arrived at the hotel, Xu Qingyun's car also arrived here.

"This is it."

Xu Qingyun noticed that the rickshaw driver who was resting in front had his rickshaw, but there was no one in it. Since the rickshaw driver did not continue to drive, the people in the rickshaw were most likely got off nearby.

"Section Chief, I've asked around, and someone just came here in a rickshaw and entered this hotel."

After getting off the car, Fang Laibao went to inquire about the situation. He did not ask the driver directly, as the other party should have arrived soon. If he spoke to the driver rashly, he might be noticed.

Just go to a roadside shop and ask, there will always be someone who has seen the situation.

"Did you ask about his appearance?"

Xu Qingyun asked, and Fang Laibao shook his head: "No, but we took some photos secretly, and I asked someone to develop them. It will take time."

They had previously taken photos of everyone passing through the intersection, including Iijima.

Wan Jinwen stayed in the bookstore for a very short time, only about ten minutes, and they did not take pictures of many people.

As for tracking, they will never take the initiative to look the target in the eye.

Just pay attention to details like clothes, hair, and general appearance.

The surveillance team members did not get close to them and did not get a clear look at their appearance.

Xu Qingyun put on his glasses and hat. He had met Wan Jinwen before, and he must not let Wan Jinwen see him.

Arriving at the door of the inn, he quickly entered the shop next door.

"Check if there is a back door at the hotel. Wan Jinwen is here."

Xu Qingyun saw Wan Jinwen's footprints and also took note of some lighter footprints nearby.

This is a blue brick road. Fortunately, there is dust on the road. Wan Jinwen has just arrived, so these traces may disappear after a while.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao took orders in a low voice and arranged for people to keep an eye on the surroundings. Xu Qingyun went to the opposite side and remained in the car.

It is now certain that Wan Jinwen did come out to meet someone. As for why he suddenly came here, he still doesn't know the reason, but we just need to find out who he met and what he did.

He suddenly went out at this time, and the person he was going to meet must be very important.

It won’t be someone from the Kuomintang. The possibility that he is Japanese is at least 95%.

There was no need for him to go through so much trouble to meet his own people. He took anti-tracking actions and changed the venue.

"What did you mean by studying?"

When Iijima arrived at the hotel, Wan Jinwen was pretending to smoke on the side. He quickly opened the door and took Wan Jinwen into the room.

This is a room he rented temporarily. He doesn't usually live here. It's like a safe house.

After coming in, Iijima asked directly, not forgetting to look outside through the window. Fortunately, Fang Laibao did not ask the driver just now, so Fang Laibao was seen by Iijima, but he lowered his head and Iijima could not see him clearly.

Fang Laibao went into another store and Iijima did not suspect anything.

"It's all because of Yue Yunxuan..."

Wan Jinwen explained the situation of this training class. Many deputy station chiefs and intelligence team leaders attended the class. The lecturers included Xu Qingyun, Xu Zhanjie, and He Ming.

Virgo will also give them lectures, but the time and courses are not fixed.

"Xu Qingyun, why is he in Nanjing?"

Iijima asked immediately. He was really afraid of Xu Qingyun, mainly because Xu Qingyun's record against them was too terrifying.

"He came back early to report on his work. He will go to Singapore before the end of the year."

Wan Jinwen explained that Xu Qingyun came back early to report on his work and happened to encounter this incident, so he was pulled over by the director to teach them.

"But I guess his return has something to do with Yue Yunxuan. Xu Zhanjie is very protective of Yue Yunxuan."

Speaking of Xu Zhanjie, Wan Jinwen felt so angry that his teeth were itching. He was not Xu Zhanjie's subordinate, but he actually slapped him in front of so many people.

This revenge must be avenged.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Only after he becomes the webmaster will he have the opportunity to take revenge on Xu Zhanjie. Now the levels of the two are not equal and the gap is too big. Apart from assassination, he has no other way.

Xu Zhanjie is the chief of the Intelligence Section of the Military Intelligence Department. Even if the assassination attempt on him is successful, the department will certainly conduct a large-scale search, which may very well implicate himself.

What he wanted was revenge, not death together.

"What did Yue Yunxuan say after arriving in Nanjing? Did Xu Qingyun suspect you?"

Iijima asked again. Wan Jinwen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "How could he possibly doubt me? Yue Yunxuan was just crying out for injustice, and I didn't say he was working for you. I just caught him not reporting this after meeting you, so I put him in jail."

"That's good."

Iijima breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed somewhat afraid of Xu Qingyun.

Wan Jinwen looked down on him a little. He was scared like this by Xu Qingyun. Could it be that Xu Qingyun had three heads and six arms?
"The training class lasts for 15 days. I have already taken the path of Secretary Qi, and there are a few people willing to speak up for me. Yu Hongyu told me to perform well in the training class. As long as I get good grades in the training class, the director will most likely promote me to deputy station chief."

The reason for this training class is normal. After the Yue Yunxuan incident, the Military Intelligence Department strengthened the anti-subversion capabilities of deputy station chiefs and intelligence team leaders in various places.

At the same time, teach them more counter-espionage techniques.

"What Yu Hongyu said makes sense. Since you are in charge of the direct training this time, Dai Yunong will definitely see who performs well."

Iijima couldn't help but nod his head. Dai Yunong had a strong control over the Military Intelligence Department. In his eyes, being the deputy station chief was no problem at all.

"Don't worry, those people are definitely not my opponents. I may be the best one in this training. But if I want to be the deputy station chief, I think it will cost a lot of money."

Iijima looked at Wan Jinwen and immediately understood what he meant, but didn't say anything.

"Secretary Qi needs at least 10,000 French francs, and the other people need 10,000 French francs in total. The bulk of it goes to the Director. Without 15,000, nothing can be done. It's best to give them gold."

Wan Jinwen took the initiative to explain that his point was just one thing: he needed money, a lot of money.

The promotion was good for him, but more important to the Japanese, as it was a way of asking them for money.

"I will report your situation to the section chief. Wait for my news."

Iijima finally spoke. He knew the financial situation of the Shanghai Special High Police. They could come up with 35,000 French francs, but they would definitely be tight on other aspects.

If Wan Jinwen wasn't too important to them at that moment, Iijima would have refused outright.

If he wants to be promoted, let him figure it out himself. Wan Jinwen is the head of the intelligence team and can provide them with the intelligence they want.

"Okay, I can't come out these days, don't contact me anymore, I hope the next time I see you, it's good news."

Wan Jinwen nodded. The good news he was talking about must be the money he had just mentioned.

"Do not worry."

This greedy guy just gave so much money, but now he wants another 35,000 francs.

At present, the legal currency is very stable. More than 30 legal currencies can be exchanged for one tael of gold. 35,000 legal currencies are equivalent to more than 1,000 taels of gold.

Wan Jinwen was indeed greedy, but this was a really important opportunity for promotion. They went to great lengths to bring down Yue Yunxuan and even exposed their own photos, just to help Wan Jinwen get promoted.

Iijima guessed that the section chief would agree, but would not really give that much, and would let him figure out the rest himself.

Wan Jinwen has less money in his hands, and if he wants to make money in the future, he will need to rely more on them, and at the same time he will make more money from the Military Intelligence Department.

"I go first."

Wan Jinwen stood up and Iijima saw him to the door but did not go out with him.

No one must be seen together. He had to wait half an hour after Wan Jinwen left before going out.

"Chief, Wan Jinwen is out."

"Arrange someone to follow."

Xu Qingyun looked towards the entrance of the hotel. Only Wan Jinwen came out. He had been in the hotel for more than half an hour. Could it be that he deliberately went in to rest for half an hour?
There is no such possibility.

The person he had contacted must still be there. The photos had not been developed yet, so Xu Qingyun was waiting outside for the person to come out.

Fang Laibao arranged six people to continue monitoring Wan Jinwen.

Same as before, long-distance monitoring, no direct tracking.

In fact, it was okay to follow from a distance at this time. Wan Jinwen completed the contact, got the promise from Iijima, and knew that the Japanese would help him with a lot of money, so he was in a good mood.

It seems that the position of deputy stationmaster has fallen on him.

Half an hour later, Iijima stood up.

First, I went to the window and looked outside.

There was nothing unusual. He just watched Wan Jinwen leave, and everything went very smoothly.

Xu Qingyun's car had been moved long ago and could not be seen from his window.

After observing for a few minutes, he finally felt relieved, tidied his clothes, locked the door and left.

He won't come here again.

"Chief, it's Iijima."

Fang Laibao was on the second floor of the house opposite. When he noticed Iijima coming out, he recognized him at a glance.

The Shanghai station took photos of Iijima, and when Wan Jinwen escorted Yue Yunxuan to Nanjing, he brought the photos with him. As the head of the intelligence department, Fang Laibao had seen the photos of Iijima.

He had just seen the photos and was deeply impressed. After discovering Iijima, Fang Laibao ran over to report excitedly.

“It’s a big fish indeed.”

Xu Qingyun smiled. Iijima's appearance in Nanjing and being in the same place as Wan Jinwen almost completely confirmed his previous guess.

Wan Jinwen was finished. Although there were no photos of them together, they had the same whereabouts, and with the temperament of the director, he would directly arrest and interrogate them.

Wan Jinwen is a traitor, he is not that tough.

The reason why Yue Yunxuan was able to withstand the punishment was, first, he was a real military man, and second, he was wronged.

Once he admits it, he will die in great frustration and his family will also be implicated.

"Chief, do we want to arrest someone?" Fang Laibao asked.

"No hurry, follow him first, find his nest, and catch him together."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head, while Fang Laibao was full of admiration. This was Iijima, the head of the Shanghai intelligence group. If they caught him, not only could they interrogate the Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing, but they could also find out the Japanese spies lurking in Shanghai, Suzhou and other places.

For Xu Qingyun, as long as Iijima shows up, he will have no chance of escaping.

Iijima's footprints have been protected by members of the Intelligence Department.

Xu Qingyun walked over to identify the person carefully, then got into the car and followed him.

In fact, the most important reason why Xu Qingyun did not arrest anyone at this time was that he wanted to catch the people who were with Iijima.

Iijima will not come to Nanjing alone, he will definitely bring his subordinates with him.

If Iijima was captured and he did not confess immediately, or if he had instructed his subordinates when he was released that if he did not return after a certain period of time, they should immediately notify Shanghai, etc.

Once such a situation occurs, even if we know the situation of those hidden agents and traitors, they may still escape.

Xu Qingyun is not an impatient person, so it won’t be too late to catch the person later.

But if it were someone else, they would probably take action now.

Iijima performed counter-reconnaissance actions, but unfortunately he could not hide it from Xu Qingyun.

He must have walked after getting off the bus. Now the ground is mostly made of earth bricks or blue bricks, and the sanitary conditions are poor, so it is easy to leave footprints.

Once the mark is left, he can't hide it.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Xu Qingyun followed him to a private house.

He entered the house.

The private house was the safe house he rented when he came to Nanjing before. There were too many people and too many gossips in the hotel, so he generally didn't want to stay there.

They have the key to the safe house and can move in at any time, so not many people will know about it.

Iijima's idea was not wrong, provided that they were not discovered.

Now that they had discovered it, it was easy to find out that they had just arrived in Nanjing and no one had lived in the house before.

"Fang Laibao, go back and report."

Xu Qingyun gave the order, and Fang Laibao was stunned. Catching the head of the Shanghai Special High Section's intelligence team was definitely a huge achievement, and it involved Wan Jinwen. If he returned, he would definitely report to the director.

He reported his work to the director only a few times.

"Chief, I don't need..."

"This is an order."

Xu Qingyun didn't let him finish. Fang Laibao was one of their own. This report would not only make him gain a good impression in front of the director, but would also increase his credit.

Capturing Iijima would be a great achievement. If he could pry open his mouth and ask about the hidden agents, this achievement would even allow Fang Laibao to be promoted.

He is already a major, and if promoted he will become lieutenant colonel. In the future he can definitely become deputy station chief or even station chief.

Fang Laibao wanted to follow him, and Xu Qingyun understood this.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable position around him, and the level of the Military Intelligence Department itself was not that high, so he could no longer continue to bring Fang Laibao with him.

If you can't take him with you, let him go out by himself and guard one side.

If he was promoted to station chief ahead of time, once the war broke out and the Military Intelligence Department was upgraded, Fang Laibao would definitely be promoted to general.

This is Xu Qingyun's plan for his future.

"Thank you, section chief."

Fang Laibao choked up a little, realizing that this was Xu Qingyun's cultivation of him, which was absolutely a great favor.

There aren't many superiors these days who care so much about their subordinates.

And now that Xu Qingyun is no longer his direct superior, it is even more rare.

"Go quickly."

Xu Qingyun waved his hand. His subordinates had already sent a message that Wan Jinwen had returned to the Military Intelligence Department.

This time, he will never have the chance to come out.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao took the order and returned quickly.

"Found Iijima?"

Fang Laibao did not bypass his supervisor and went to report to Xu Zhanjie first. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhanjie stood up.

He knew that Xu Qingyun was out monitoring Wan Jinwen, but he didn't expect to discover Iijima.

Yue Yunxuan just met with Iijima without his knowledge, but Yu Hongyu seized the opportunity, made him suspected by the director, and even accepted punishment.

Now they saw Iijima and Wan Jinwen coming out from the same place.

"Yes, it's confirmed to be him. We've found his whereabouts. Currently, it's confirmed that there are four of them."

Fang Laibao replied softly, and Xu Zhanjie suddenly laughed: "Great, come on, I'll take you to see the director."

Iijima is the key figure in framing Yue Yunxuan. If we catch him, there will be hope of finding out the truth and helping Yue Yunxuan clear his name.

Not only that, Wan Jinwen is finished this time.

There is also Yu Hongyu, this stupid old guy. He was manipulated by others and was cruel to his own people. Yu Hongyu's position as the station chief of Shanghai Station came to an end.

It just so happened that Xu Qingyun had made great contributions, and he would recommend to the director to transfer Xu Qingyun to Shanghai.

Among all the branches, Shanghai is the most important one.

"Virgo, great joy."

When they arrived at the office, Xu Zhanjie spoke quickly, while Chu Zuo was a little puzzled.

Xu Qingyun was handling Wan Jinwen's case. He was busy with other things these days and was not aware that Wan Jinwen had gone out.

The head teacher of this training class is Chu Zuo, and the deputy director is Xu Qingyun. All the students are also under the management of Xu Qingyun.

"Fang Laibao, go ahead."

Xu Zhanjie also did not take credit for the work and gave the opportunity to report to Fang Laibao.

Xu Qingyun didn't come back, so he asked Fang Laibao to come over. How could he not understand what Xu Qingyun meant?

He will also give this credit to Fang Laibao. Not only that, after the case is closed, he will also help Fang Laibao write a promotion report. Fang Laibao is now his direct subordinate.

"Yes, Wan Jinwen went out today, and Stationmaster Xu noticed something was wrong with him..."

From the time Wan Jinwen submitted his application, to Xu Qingyun discovering clues in the newspaper, to following him all the way out, to finally discovering Iijima, and finding where Iijima was staying, Fang Laibao told him everything in detail.

"Catch him, act now."

After listening to Fang Laibao's account of the whole situation, the director issued an arrest order without hesitation.

Xu Qingyun still guessed wrong. Not to mention that Wan Jinwen and Iijima had appeared in the same place, as long as the two of them had any intersection, the director would arrest them immediately.

"Yes."

Fang Laibao understood that Xu Qingyun was waiting for orders from here, so he asked someone to run back to report, and he led his men straight to the students' dormitory area.

Wan Jinwen was in the dormitory, chatting with a few people.

The door was suddenly opened and Fang Laibao and his men rushed in. All of them were holding guns and they took control of everyone in the room after they came in.

They were trainees and had handed in their weapons long ago, so they did not have any guns on them at the moment.

Wan Jinwen didn't prepare a gun either. He was at the headquarters, not his own home. What was he trying to do by hiding a gun privately?
Besides, there are weapons hidden here, and if things go wrong he might die here.

"What are you doing?"

A total of four people were arrested. Wan Jinwen was originally very worried, but he felt a little relieved when he saw that all of them were arrested. It was good that they were not targeting him alone.

At the same time, Wan Jinwen thought quickly in his mind, they didn’t do anything just now, why did these people arrest them?
The topics discussed were all general and there was nothing beyond the scope of the discussion.

"take away."

Fang Laibao ignored them and left with Wan Jinwen.

The others were implicated by Wan Jinwen and came to attend this training class. They have nothing to do with Wan Jinwen, and Fang Laibao will not arrest them all.

The reason why everyone was controlled first was because they were afraid that Wan Jinwen would deliberately create chaos.

After successfully catching the people, Fang Laibao immediately released them.

After finding out that he was the only one taken away and everyone else was fine, Wan Jinwen finally panicked. Why were they arresting him alone? He had met Iijima today. Did something happen to Iijima?

Wan Jinwen was very confused and didn't understand what was going on, so he was taken to the interrogation room.

After he went in and saw the director, Xu Zhanjie and Secretary Qi behind him, he immediately realized that his crime had been exposed. The director would be interrogating him personally and he had no hope of survival.

"Wan Jinwen, tell me the truth. When did you collude with Iijima, and how did you frame Yue Yunxuan?"

Xu Zhanjie glanced at the director, and seeing the director nodded to him, he immediately asked.

As expected, this was the case. Wan Jinwen showed a look of shock on his face: "Chief Xu, what did you say? When did I ever collude with Iijima?"

To admit it means death, and Wan Jinwen is making his last struggle.

"What are you doing at Zhao's Hotel today?"

Xu Zhanjie snorted coldly. When Wan Jinwen heard the name of Zhao's Hotel, he no longer had any hope. They even knew where Zhao had been, so he was afraid that Iijima was in danger.

Wan Jinwen lowered his head, but his hands and feet were cold.

Now that we know where he went, Iijima probably won't be able to escape. He has been hiding very well, but Iijima was the one who was photographed.

He must have been discovered when he came to Nanjing, and then he got himself into trouble.

I shouldn't have gone to see him today.

Wan Jinwen was simply deceiving himself. If Iijima had really been exposed in Nanjing, he would not have been able to escape after being caught.

"Torture."

Seeing that Wan Jinwen didn't say anything, Xu Zhanjie shouted directly that Wan Jinwen had used severe torture on Yue Yunxuan, and now that he was in his hands, it was a good opportunity to avenge Yue Yunxuan.

Screams were soon heard from the interrogation room.

"Chief, a secret message just came from Shanghai."

As the interrogation began, Fang Laibao went out and came back with a secret telegram. It was a secret telegram sent by Zhao San to Xu Qingyun. Xu Qingyun was not there, but Xu Zhanjie was able to translate it.

Xu Qingyun had left the code book with Xu Zhanjie before.

"Go to my office."

Wan Jinwen started the fight first. After Xu Zhanjie reported to the director, he immediately went back to the office to get out the code book for translation.

The secret message sent by Zhao San is most likely related to Wan Jinwen.

"Stationmaster, I discovered Wan Jinwen's mistress Xiao Cui. There are traces of someone hiding in Xiao Cui's room. It might be the Japanese. Xiao Cui is likely to have been murdered. I guess the Japanese got the evidence of Wan Jinwen's murder and forced him to surrender..."

Zhao San's investigation also went smoothly, especially when he entered Xiao Cui's house to investigate.

After Xiao Cui died, Wan Jinwen came back and cleaned up the house, mainly taking away some of Xiao Cui's clothes and daily necessities, pretending that she had gone on a long journey.

Wan Jinwen had no feelings for this place and would not stay any longer. He took his things and left, but some traces of the past were still there.

First, the bedding and sheets were stained with feces and urine, and Wan Jinwen took them out and threw them away.

But the mattress was not burned and some dirt was left behind.

Zhao San figured out what it was.

Secondly, there were faint traces of footprints in the room. Wan Jinwen did not sweep the floor at all, and he only went back once. A lot of dust had fallen over the days. Although the footprints were so faint that ordinary people could not detect them, Zhao San still found them.

Zhao San followed Xu Qingyun to learn how to identify footprints, and he learned it better than Yan Ming. Even though he didn't master it, at least he recognized that they were the footprints of several men.

In addition, Zhao San also found where Iijima and his men were hiding.

There were obvious signs that someone had been lying there for a long time.

The most important thing is that there is a small hole in a very hidden place. It is in dark when the light is on, and it cannot be noticed when the light is turned off. This small hole is right facing the bed in the bedroom.

Through this small hole, you can take pictures inside the room.

Zhao San relied on his own reasoning and finally restored the facts.

"Great, let's go back."

After translating the secret message, Xu Zhanjie shouted happily, "Zhao San is great. I didn't expect that he would find such an important clue after just a few days."

Back in the interrogation room, Wan Jinwen was still holding on, so Xu Zhanjie handed the telegram directly to the director.

After reading the telegram, the director snorted coldly.

The executioner stopped immediately.

"Wan Jinwen, who is Xiao Cui?"

The director asked coldly, and Wan Jinwenqiang raised his head.

"If you kill your own woman, are you still a man?"

When the director asked again, Wan Jinwen showed a painful expression. He was now completely sure that he had been exposed long ago, even earlier than he thought.

But how did Chuzuo know that he was the one who killed Xiaocui? Could it be that Iijima had been arrested and confessed everything?
This is the only possibility. No wonder Xu Zhanjie went out just now to get Iijima's confession.

This stupid guy doesn't know that he will die if he admits it.

"Deputy, I say..."

Only Iijima knew that he killed Xiao Cui, and very few people knew about it. If the Japanese had not been captured, Xu Zhanjie would not have known about it.

Since someone had confessed, it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not. Not wanting to suffer any more, Wan Jinwen chose to confess.

Xiao Cui was a beauty trap set up for him by the Japanese, but he did not fall into it at first.

Even noticed something was wrong.

The damn Xiao Cui was used by the Japanese and let Iijima take photos of him killing people. Under the threat, he had no choice but to compromise.

At first he didn't really want to work for the Japanese.

Iijima was so abominable that he provided information to many people, including Virgo.

Upon hearing this, the director's face turned pale.

This guy even betrayed himself?

Unforgivable.

Wan Jinwen did have some understanding of Chu Zuo. As long as he betrayed him, no matter what the reason, Chu Zuo would not forgive him.

Even if you have enough reasons to survive, don't expect to get any attention or promotion in the future.

When Wan Jinwen confessed, He Ming brought a small team of people and came to Xu Qingyun in person.

This arrest operation was very important, so Section Chief He Ming personally went out for the operation.

Before they came, Xu Qingyun had already pretended to walk around Iijima's residence and found that there were indeed four people living there, and there were footprints of four people going in and out.

Since we are sure there are only four of them, we can capture them at any time.

However, you have to be cautious when arresting people. The best way is to wait for them to come out before taking action.

This is the easiest way to capture someone alive.

If we break into the door directly, they will definitely resist. Bullets are not sharp and there is a chance that Iijima will be killed in a gunfight.

"Chief He, let's not rush. Let's wait until they leave tomorrow before we take action."

Xu Qingyun said softly, and He Ming immediately looked at Xu Qingyun: "Okay, do everything according to Stationmaster Xu's request."

Don't be fooled by Xu Qingyun's young age and the fact that he has only been in the Military Intelligence Department for a short time. In terms of performance, no one can compare to him.

Xu Qingyun is already the stationmaster. Apart from his military rank, his position level is at least not inferior to his.

If the headquarters had not tacitly agreed to a higher level, he and Xu Qingyun would have been on equal footing.

But he didn't expect that the young Xu Qingyun could be so patient. With a huge achievement right in front of him, he could actually wait until tomorrow to catch the person.

Xu Qingyun was never in a hurry. Wan Jinwen must have been caught, but Iijima had to be alive. He was too important and was related to the intelligence of many hidden Japanese spies.

Iijima didn't know that he was exposed and was unprepared, so catching someone when he went out was the best option.

In the evening, Xu Qingyun returned to the Military Intelligence Department.

There are people guarding there, so Xu Qingyun doesn't need to stay there all the time.

"Qingyun, you did a good job this time."

The director met with them in person, and it turned out that things were just as they had thought, it was Wan Jinwen's conspiracy.

"Director, this time you were the first to see through Wan Jinwen's trick. Under your keen eyes, he can't escape."

Xu Qingyun flattered him, and the director was really happy and laughed out loud.

In fact, Xu Qingyun noticed something unusual in Wuhan, but when he met Chu Zuo, Chu Zuo did think the same as he did, so Chu Zuo didn't think much about what he said.

"You are right not to rush to catch Fandao. You must catch him alive tomorrow. Zhanjie just gave me a suggestion, and I want to hear your thoughts."

The director said directly that after Wan Jinwen finished his explanation, Xu Zhanjie took the opportunity to report Yu Hongyu.

It was Yu Hongyu who beat Yue Yunxuan into this state. How could Xu Zhanjie give up such a good opportunity for revenge?

The director was indeed disappointed with Yu Hongyu, the most important station chief of the entire military intelligence department. Not only had he made no achievements before, but now he was being played around by the Japanese and his own confidants.

On Wan Jinwen's investment day, Yu Hongyu, as his superior and stationmaster, has an obligation to do his part.

Yu Hongyu, the webmaster, has reached the end of his career.

Xu Zhanjie took the opportunity to suggest that Xu Qingyun be transferred to Shanghai Station.

Now Xu Qingyun is the stationmaster of Wuhan Station and is fully qualified to be transferred to the stationmaster of Shanghai Station.

Secondly, if Iijima is caught this time, Xu Qingyun will have made a great contribution. Last time, Xu Qingyun's contribution was enough to be promoted to colonel, but the chairman thought he was too young and deliberately suppressed it.

After this meritorious service, he was promoted and appointed as the station chief of Shanghai Station.

Finally, Xu Zhanjie gave a reason that Virgo couldn't refuse.

Shanghai is too important. Not only are the forces there complicated and intricate, but it also concerns the interests of many high-level people. There must be a strong person there to help the director look after the Shanghai station.

All the Japanese spies in Wuhan have been eliminated by Xu Qingyun. Currently, there is only one newly transferred young section chief who has not even fully grown his hair. He is not a cause for concern.

It’s different in Shanghai. Xu Qingyun is not only good at handling cases, but also a good person. He can help the director maintain more relationships there.

This reason really makes Virgo feel moved.

"You tell me what I know, Director.

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. His superior said that when he asked for your opinion, your opinion was actually not important. He just hadn't made up his mind and was just telling you. Xu Qingyun would not really help the director analyze the pros and cons or help him solve his doubts.

Just continue talking according to his ideas.

"Qingyun, do you want to go to Shanghai?"

The director suddenly asked, Xu Qingyun was slightly startled and immediately looked up.

He understood what the Virgo meant.

Want to transfer him from Wuhan to Shanghai to be the station manager?
"Commander, I have said before that I will always be your soldier. I will go wherever you tell me to go."

He couldn't talk about his own ideas on this, but he had been running Wuhan for so long, and now the business was finally looking good, so Xu Qingyun really didn't want to leave.

"You go back first."

Chu Zuo did not express his opinion on the spot. This was a big matter and he had to think carefully about it, but he took the initiative to ask Xu Qingyun, which actually showed that he was inclined to transfer Xu Qingyun.

Iijima had not been caught yet, so Xu Qingyun returned to the surveillance point and waited.

If there is any emergency, he can respond immediately.

Originally, he planned to send a telegram to Zhao San, asking him to return to Nanjing. Zhao San did a good job. Although he did not get complete evidence, he found out the reason why Wan Jinwen was instigated to rebel.

The fact that he was able to find out all this in such a short time is enough to show his ability.

Chu Zuo wants me to go to Shanghai, and he must be replacing Yu Hongyu. Zhao San doesn't need to come back for the time being. If he comes back now, he may have to follow me to Shanghai in a few days.

Xu Qingyun understood that the moment the Director asked him the question, the possibility of him going to Shanghai had reached 80%.

The next morning, Fandao got up early and prepared to leave Nanjing.

Yesterday he sent a telegram to Shanghai, informing the section chief Wan Jinwen of his request. Since Wan Jinwen was fine, there was no need for Iijima to stay here any longer.

As for the money Wan Jinwen needs, we will have to wait until the training course is over before giving it to him. Then we can ask someone to put it in a disposable dead mailbox for him.

There is no need for Iijima to do it himself.

He has always been wary of Nanjing Iijima and is very worried every time he comes, especially when he knows that Xu Qingyun is in Nanjing.

If he hadn't received the reply too late last night and the city gates had been closed, he would have even wanted to leave yesterday.

"They came out and brought a lot of things."

At seven o'clock, the person who was monitoring suddenly said that Xu Qingyun was having breakfast with He Ming, and he immediately stood up when he heard the team members' words.

He Ming took a big bite of the bun, grabbed the pistol from his body, and followed Xu Qingyun to the window.

Twelve thousand words, to make up for yesterday's four thousand words.
