The Spy

Chapter 319 Use heavy scriptures in troubled times

Chang Zhiling was stunned. Now, if they wanted to arrest people, they could only arrest the informants, not the Japanese spies.

He is a veteran of the Fourth Intelligence Group. To them, catching Japanese spies is the real achievement, not traitors.

Normally they competed to see who could catch more Japanese spies. If anyone in Group 4 had not caught a Japanese spy, it would be difficult for him to say that he was from Group 4 when he went out.

"Deputy Station Master Fang, do you think he really discovered us?"

Chang Zhiling couldn't help but ask. Fang Laibao had also been the leader of an interrogation team. When he heard Chang Zhiling ask this, he shook his head slightly.

However, he had worked in other prisons and was a professional. Chang Zhiling came from the intelligence team and was temporarily arranged by the station chief to work in the interrogation team.

"Go to the French Concession now and ask the police if they have arrested anyone today."

Fang Laibao said softly that it was not that he did not want to explain to Chang Zhiling, but it would be better to let him understand it clearly first and then explain it to him.

It is unusual for a person who is out to gather intelligence to buy things from street vendors.

After he finished shopping, a car came to pick him up. Later, a fight between a vendor and someone happened to block their way. This was not a coincidence. Everything was arranged by the other party.

Chang Zhiling should be thankful that the other party did not attack in the concession, otherwise they would all be in danger.

Fang Laibao could understand why the Japanese did not take action. After all, it was the French Concession, not their own territory.

"Yes."

Chang Zhiling nodded and really went to the French Concession. After receiving the order, Yan Ming immediately went to find Fang Laibao, who was the head of the intelligence team and Chang Zhiling's former leader.

This time, the intelligence team assisted him again, and he knew who every targeted merchant was.

He took Fu Wenzhen with him to arrest people, and they could catch them as quickly as possible.

"Go send a telegram to the stationmaster and ask him when he will be back."

He targeted the Japanese spy but was discovered by the other party. It was not a small matter. He had to report it even if he could catch the person.

This matter must be handed over to Xu Qingyun, he does not have the authority to handle it.

In Chongqing, Xu Qingyun received a telegram from Fang Laibao.

He originally planned to go back after the 15th, but Fang Laibao's telegram disrupted his plans.

He did not send a telegram to inquire, and Fang Laibao did not elaborate because he did not want to disturb him, so he only asked about the time, but something must have happened at the Shanghai station.

This matter can't be too big, otherwise Fang Laibao would have said it clearly.

"Zhao San, go make the arrangements. We will return to Shanghai tomorrow."

Xu Qingyun called Zhao San and told him about his return journey. While Zhao San was going to inform other people, Xu Qingyun went to his parents' place.

"Are you going back now? Can't you wait a few more days?"

The mother felt a little distressed because they could only see their son during the Chinese New Year. She knew that once her son left, they would not be able to see each other for another half a year.

"I have some work to do in Shanghai, so I'll go back first. I'll come back when I have the chance. Now I have a plane, so it's convenient."

Xu Qingyun smiled. He was just trying to comfort his parents. It was convenient to have a plane, but he couldn't just come back whenever he wanted.

He did not stay in Shanghai for the New Year this time, but others have been working overtime. After returning this time, some people must be given a holiday so that they can have a good rest for a while.

"Go back if you have something to do. State affairs are more important."

Xu Jiaming is more open-minded than his wife. His son now has a special status and is fighting against the Japanese. Xu Jiaming also has no good impression of Japan.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Xu Qingyun went to see Xu Qingshi again.

Xu Qingshi is waiting for a transfer order. He has nothing to do recently, so it is estimated that the transfer order will not be issued until after the first month of the lunar year.

Next, Xu Qingyun will ask the director to move out as soon as possible.

The deputy director of the department is absolutely qualified to be the director of the general bureau. After all, Nanjing is the capital, and no matter what department it is, the one in Nanjing is half a level higher than other places.

Not to mention that Xu Qingshi was still a member of the hall.

Xu Qingshi didn't care much about this arrangement, but he felt a little sad.

In the past, he took care of his younger brother, but now the situation is reversed. His younger brother is even able to help him become the director of the general bureau.

My younger brother has indeed grown up and no longer needs my protection.

In the Japanese Concession, Suzuki came to Ishida's office.

"Section Chief, one of our spies has been exposed. We are not sure how many of our spies the Shanghai Station has discovered, but they found me through the dead letter box. I suspect there is more than one."

"Tell me the details."

Ishida is still polishing his samurai sword, which he has to polish three times a day, each time for at least half an hour.

Suzuki couldn't understand why the section chief was wasting time like this, but he couldn't just blame him for his behavior.

"Hay."

Suzuki recounted what happened today. The other party's tracking personnel were experienced and brought spare clothes, which they would change every time they crossed paths, so that the people Suzuki arranged around them did not notice them at first.

After Suzuki had been gone for a while, he was discovered by his people when he was changing clothes and hat, and only then did they realize that Suzuki had been monitored.

"I see. He's a good opponent."

Ishida smiled. The Chinese were not that incompetent, especially Xu Qingyun. It was no fluke that he could capture so many agents of the empire.

Although he looked down on the old working methods of the previous Imperial agents, he believed that even these old methods could defeat the Chinese agents. The reason why they suffered such a great loss was because they met smarter people.

Unfortunately, this smart man met himself.

"Section Chief, what should we do with those spies?" Suzuki asked carefully.

"Don't worry about them. Find out how they were exposed first."

Ishida shook his head slightly. They were just a bunch of profit-seeking merchants. He could find them for money. He could have as many people like them as he wanted.

After arresting this batch, he would arrange for the next batch.

Xu Qingyun couldn't do anything to him, but investigating such a person would take up a lot of time and energy.

There are also human and financial resources.

In the end, Xu Qingyun spent more money than him.

"Hay."

Suzuki had no choice but to accept the order. He was worthy of being the section chief. These spies gave up just like that. However, it was not easy to find out how the spies were exposed. They had no one in Shanghai Station.

This job needs to be done slowly, investigating from the outside.

"For intelligence work, everyone has his or her value. Some of the people in the Shanghai station are local Shanghainese. Find a suitable target and start with the people around him."

Ishida suddenly said, Suzuki was startled, then asked: "Are you trying to incite him to rebel?"

"Of course it would be best if we have a chance. Let him say the wrong thing first. Remember a few key points. He is a Shanghai native, likes wine, is loyal, and has friends around him. We should start with his friends, win him over for training, and then get him drunk and find a way to ask what we want. Once we get the recording, he will be ours from now on."

"Hay."

Suzuki took the order. It turned out that the section chief had never given up on inciting people inside the Shanghai station to defect. Now that he was targeted by the section chief, this person would definitely not be able to escape.

After Suzuki left, Ishida smiled and shook his head.

Suzuki guessed correctly. If he wanted to target Xu Qingyun, he had to plant a spy in the Shanghai Station, and there would not be just one.

He wants a lot of eyeliner.

These merchants have already played their value and will make Xu Qingyun mistakenly believe that he has no other options within the Shanghai station and that is why he spends a lot of money to hire external spies.

The so-called eyes are actually cannon fodder.

As long as he can achieve his goal, Ishida doesn't care how much money he spends. He will continue to spend the money and create trouble for Xu Qingyun.

What's more, it can distract Xu Qingyun's attention and make him spend money with him.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qingyun returned to Shanghai early.

On the way back, Xu Qingyun took his own plane for the first time. The two British pilots flew very steadily. Their boss treated them very well, with higher salaries than before. With bonuses, they could earn a lot.

They are very satisfied with this job.

"Stationmaster."

After returning to Shanghai Station, Chang Zhiling immediately went to the office. He went to the French Concession to inquire about the situation and learned that the two men were not caught for the fight and were released on the spot.

It is said that they know each other and were just joking.

This result made him realize that Deputy Station Master Fang was right. The other party had indeed noticed them and used the car to get rid of their surveillance.

In fact, when he was in Intelligence Group 4, Deputy Station Chief Fang was not very noticeable.

At that time, Fang Laibao was the deputy team leader and was willing to be Xu Qingyun's shadow, but he did a lot of secret tasks without others knowing.

Fang Laibao later took over as the leader of Group 4, but Chang Zhiling went to Wuhan and did not know much about this old superior.

At this moment, he finally understood why Deputy Station Master Fang, who was not a professional, was able to always stay by the station master's side and had a higher rank than Yan Ming.

He is really amazing and capable.

No wonder the director sent him here, and the section chief personally sent him to the office. Both the director and the section chief understood that Deputy Station Chief Fang was capable of securing the position of deputy station chief.

If it were him, he would be tricked by the enemy and wouldn't understand it.

"Sit down and talk."

Xu Qingyun already knew the general situation. Fang Laibao went to the airport to pick him up and reported on the way.

When he came back, Fang Laibao was still upset that he shouldn't have sent the telegram, which affected the stationmaster's reunion with his family.

"Stationmaster, it's my fault. I alarmed the other party."

Chang Zhiling lowered his head. It was he who discovered the Japanese spy and was also the one who followed the Japanese spy. If he didn't alert anyone, perhaps he would have a chance to catch the real Japanese spy this time.

Because of his negligence, all the hard work for so long was almost wasted.

He felt sorry for those brothers who were unable to go home for the New Year and were still monitoring him.

It seemed that a lot of people were arrested this time, but they were all ordinary merchants. There was not a single professional agent, and there was not even any traitors in important positions.

What are these merchants?
But they were blinded by money and exploited by the Japanese.

Their real target was the Japanese, and there was no sense of accomplishment in catching those traitors.

However, the old man from Shanghai Station was in high spirits. No matter who was caught, he was finally caught.

"Let's not talk about responsibility for now. Tell me the case in detail, starting from the beginning."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. It was indeed a mistake to have startled the enemy and failed to catch the Japanese spy, but Xu Qingyun always looked at things from more than one side and always considered them comprehensively.

Xu Qingyun knew that the head of Shanghai Special High Section had been replaced.

The current section chief, Takataro Ishida, was in Wuhan before and was sent there by Tsuchihara specifically to target him.

As a result, not long after Ishida arrived in Wuhan, Xu Qingyun was transferred to Shanghai.

Ishida was then transferred to Shanghai, and the intention against him became more obvious.

Xu Qingyun had investigated Ishida. It was the Chen family who helped him to look up Ishida's personal situation. Ishida was a nobleman who had developed well in the country. He was very talented in intelligence and had been promoted many times for his meritorious service.

It seems that Tsuchihara chose him not just because of his identity.

Ishida is a capable person.

Apart from anything else, it was not easy for his agents to discover that he was being followed by his battle-hardened subordinates.

From this arrangement, we can see that Ishida is very meticulous, sharp and smart. He started directly from the merchants around Shanghai Station and did not try to instigate the internal staff of Shanghai Station.

Merchants all like to take advantage of small bargains. Money that comes right to your door is like a free pie in the sky, and not many people can resist the temptation.

With so many merchants here, there’s always someone who can hear something useful.

It was like he had placed many pairs of eyes and ears around Shanghai Station, keeping an eye on them.

Secondly, Ishida is cautious.

It can be seen from the fact that he only collects intelligence within the concession that even if these spies are exposed, their people will not be safe.

Xu Qingyun looked down at the documents, mainly the photos.

Chang Zhiling led the veterans of the fourth intelligence group who were very experienced. They secretly took some photos of the Japanese spies.

There are not many, only about ten.

The main thing is that they can't follow too closely, so these photos were taken secretly on the side of the road when the two were crossing.

Because they didn't move, Suzuki's people focused on what was behind them and didn't notice that they were taking pictures.

The weather in Shanghai is cold. The Japanese spy in the photo is wearing a windbreaker, a hat, a scarf around his neck that covers his face, and sunglasses.

I couldn't see his face clearly at all.

However, having photos means having a good figure. For Xu Qingyun, there was an unexpected surprise. They took a picture of the hind foot of the Japanese spy when he raised his leg.

Even if it is not very clear, it is still useful to Xu Qingyun.

With this shoe style, Xu Qingyun will be sure to recognize his footprints when he sees them again.

"Stationmaster, please punish me."

Chang Zhiling finished his report and said with his head down. Xu Qingyun shook his head slightly: "Let's talk about your matter later. Take me to the scene."

There was no problem with Chang Zhiling's tracking. The four of them crossed paths and brought some change of clothes, one for each of them.

When they are under surveillance, they can wear their coats inside out and the color will change immediately.

And their hair and hats can also be replaced.

Most people wouldn't notice it, so Xu Qingyun wanted to find out how the Japanese spies discovered them to avoid such a situation from happening again in the future.

It is not easy to find out the enemy's secrets, the Japanese will not tell them voluntarily.

Xu Qingyun is going to the scene to look for clues.

The car soon arrived at the French Concession. Xu Qingyun did not get out of the car. Chang Zhiling introduced him to the location of the dead mailbox and all the circumstances after they discovered that the person who collected the intelligence had left.

"Did he buy it here?"

When he arrived at the hawker's place, Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask. The hawker had long gone and the street was very busy with many people coming and going.

"Yes."

Chang Zhiling nodded in response, and Xu Qingyun looked at the location of the vendor he pointed to, thoughtfully.

Chang Zhiling said that the Japanese spy had been walking very slowly before, but had never stopped until he bought something from the vendor.

There is no doubt that the vendor is one of theirs.

But before buying anything, the Japanese spy should have known that he was being followed, and someone ahead would have informed him.

Although the hawker is not fixed, it is very obvious that he is carrying the things he is selling. He will not carry the things around all the time. Their people will follow him from a distance, so the hawker cannot possibly notice him.

The Japanese spy should have had more than one companion, including the driver.

They were well prepared and responded immediately after being discovered, which made Chang Zhiling's surveillance fail.

"interesting."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and shook his head, while Chang Zhiling was stunned, not understanding why the webmaster said that.

Ishida does have some capabilities. It seems that the people who came to get the information had deployed people in the dark beforehand, and there were more than one, otherwise they would not have been able to discover the team members who were changing clothes and cross-tracking them.

It was fortunate for the agents on other fronts that such people were attracted to him.

Just based on the few tricks that Ishida has recently revealed, Chinese agents in other places will find it difficult to deal with them.

Now that he was by his side, the fire was attracted to him.

As long as Ishida is captured, there will be one less person among the Japanese who poses a huge threat to Chinese agents.

Ishida didn't realize that his behavior had made Xu Qingyun want to kill him.

There cannot be any too strong enemy among the enemies, otherwise it will be a huge hidden danger to our side.

Just like the Japanese have always wanted to assassinate him, Xu Qingyun doesn't mind using dirty tricks if there is a chance. If the powerful enemy cannot be eliminated early, then the victims will definitely be his own people.

"Let's go back."

Xu Qingyun did not continue to watch the scene. He returned to the Military Intelligence Department. Chang Zhiling lowered his head and stood in front of Xu Qingyun again.

"You did make a mistake this time, but the main responsibility is not yours. Let me punish you by interrogating all the Japanese spies you captured. Don't leave any of them out."

"Also remember this lesson. In the future, when you are tracking or monitoring someone, you must pay attention to everyone around you. Only by concealing yourself better can you avoid being discovered by the enemy."

Chang Zhiling is not largely responsible, it's just that the opponent is too strong and Chang Zhiling's ability is simply not enough to cope with it.

As for what Fang Laibao said, that they were lucky to come back alive, Xu Qingyun agreed very much.

But he thought more than Fang Laibao. Ishida was very proud, and he knew it very well. For a proud person, playing with the enemy is always more fun than killing him directly.

Of course, it would be a different story if he appeared in the French Concession.

Simply put, Chang Zhiling and his people are not worthy of being opponents of Ishida and others. They don't even care about these people. They have only one goal, and that is themselves.

"Stationmaster, is that all?"

Chang Zhiling couldn't believe it. He had frightened the enemy, and he had no chance to capture a few more Japanese spies in the future.

Now he was punished to interrogate the spies, which was the job of his interrogation team.

It wasn't a punishment at all.

"What else do you want? Do you want to be put in solitary confinement?"

Xu Qingyun glared at him. They were not satisfied even with the punishment. These people were spoiled.

"No, thank you, Station Master. I'll be out first."

Chang Zhiling shook his head hurriedly. He certainly didn't want to be put in solitary confinement. Solitary confinement might not seem like a big deal and he could still get some rest, but he was alone in a small space, and could only lie down or stand, and couldn't go out. There was no one to talk to, and there were no books or newspapers to read. It might be okay for a short period of time, but it could drive people crazy over time.

Especially the detention room at Shanghai Station, where there is not even sunlight, every second feels like a year.

"Laibao, the station still needs to be rectified."

Xu Qingyun called Fang Laibao over. This time Fang Laibao handled the situation decisively. He arrested people immediately when he felt something was wrong to prevent these merchants who were bewitched by the Japanese from escaping.

These people are not the kind who are loyal to the Japanese. They are the kind who were seduced by the Japanese. They are pitiful, but they do not deserve sympathy.

Knowing that their Military Intelligence Department is a secret service department, you still dare to eavesdrop privately and then tell others. Don’t you know what the consequences will be if you are discovered?
No, they knew, they were just hoping for the best.

Thinking that the Military Intelligence Department would not find out, he continued to take the money from betraying his own intelligence department.

"Stationmaster, what do you think we should do next?"

"This incident is a lesson for us. It can serve as a warning. Once we find out who they heard the secret from, all of them will be punished."

The intelligence department has strict confidentiality regulations. Some things cannot be said publicly, even in private. But these people told them out, which is a mistake.

Shanghai is not Wuhan. This situation would not happen in Wuhan.

After all, Xu Qingyun has been in Shanghai for too short a time and has been too busy recently, so he has not yet carried out a major internal overhaul.

Another point is that the last time Xu Qingyun went to Wuhan, he personally arrested people.

This time it was Xu Zhanjie who took the people away. It seemed that he helped Xu Qingyun, but it did not help Xu Qingyun establish his authority, and the people in the station were not so afraid of him.

"it is good."

Fang Laibao nodded. He had already interrogated the merchants and had their confessions. Indeed, a lot of secrets had been leaked.

After the interrogation, when he saw the information these merchants had provided to the Japanese, he had only one feeling.

shocking.

There were many small things, but there was also confidential information, such as the fact that they were helping people train guards, which was known to the Japanese.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not take any action, otherwise how would their stationmaster explain to the Chen family?
Ishida did not take any action. He was just a guard of the Chen family, and there were no key members of the Chen family at the training base.

It has little to do with him, so I'm too lazy to do anything.

The most crucial point is that they are training with real guns and bullets. If his people go over to cause trouble, facing more than 50 people with guns, they may not necessarily win.

Besides, there are police and other forces near the base, so there is no need to poke this hornet's nest and do something thankless.

The Special High Police are all elites, and Ishida will not let them waste in such a worthless place.

Chang Zhiling interrogated very carefully.

Take out their previous confessions and ask them again. If they say something wrong or have omitted anything, they will be beaten.

Chang Zhiling also captured the shop assistants and interrogated them.

However, not much was revealed in the end. The merchants were all ordinary people who had never seen the cruelty of the secret service. They confessed after being tortured for a short time. Some of them even wet their pants in the interrogation room without being tortured at all, and would tell whatever was asked.

In the auditorium, Xu Qingyun sat in the first seat, next to him was Fang Laibao, and on his right was Yan Ming.

Fu Wenzhen, Dai Jieying, Zheng Jiming and others were sitting on the stage. They already knew that the webmaster was holding a meeting today to impose punishments, very severe punishments.

More than one person was punished, basically every group had people punished.

Including the intelligence team.

The intelligence team is not composed entirely of people they brought with them. Some of them are old employees of the Shanghai station. They face the heaviest punishment. After all, they are intelligence personnel, and any leaks will be severely punished.

"Everyone, I have not been here for long, but when I first took office, I gave you the same reward system as Wuhan. Have you broken your promise in the past two months? Have you received your bonuses?"

Xu Qingyun said lightly, his tone seemed calm, but everyone on the stage knew that the storm was about to come.

"I got it. The stationmaster keeps his word. We admire him."

The first brother won the first place, and the person who received the prize said loudly, and some other people who received prizes followed suit.

They are all people who have performed outstandingly in the past two months and received awards.

Since the webmaster said so, they have to support him.

"So have you announced any new disciplines since I arrived?"

Xu Qingyun asked again, and he said that after taking office, Xu Qingyun made changes to the station discipline, but the changes were not too big. Each station had its own rules and regulations, which were basically the same as the headquarters.

In particular, the confidentiality requirement is very important.

Unfortunately, the system is a system and it needs people to abide by it to be implemented.

Yu Hongyu used to only think about how to make money. As long as it did not infringe on his interests, he did not care even if it violated the system. Over time, the discipline of the Shanghai station was not the worst, but it was not much better.

In fact, things have gotten a lot better in the past two months. After all, everyone knows that Xu Qingyun has strict management, so some people dare not violate the rules.

However, some of the small bad habits that had accumulated over time were not corrected at all. According to the results of Chang Zhiling's interrogation, all the leaked secrets were leaked by the old people in the Shanghai station.

People from Wuhan and headquarters have never leaked any information.

These merchants are very cunning and they know people from the Military Intelligence Department.

They even knew many of them by name.

Even if you can't name someone, you can still point out who it is. It's not difficult to find out who leaked the secret and what secret they leaked.

After Xu Qingyun finished speaking, many people in the audience lowered their heads, and no one dared to respond this time.

"Since you know that I am doing what I preach, and I have made strict demands on you beforehand, don't blame me for being ruthless if you violate them."

"Yan Ming, you come and read out the punishments for those who violated the rules in the intelligence team."

The intelligence team has access to the most secrets and the harm caused by leaks is the greatest. Yan Ming already knows who their intelligence team is going to punish this time and what kind of punishment they are going to give.

He really had no sympathy for these people, but he still went to Xu Qingyun to plead for a lighter punishment.

Unfortunately, Xu Qingyun did not give him face this time, and everyone had to follow the rules.

There can't be any special ones.

"Zhao Xitie, you violated the confidentiality rules and leaked important secrets of the intelligence team. Arrest him."

"plum……"

Yan Ming called out the names one by one, and the members of the action team who had been prepared came forward, tied them up, and brought them to the front of the stage.

For today's meeting, Xu Qingyun specially invited people to come to avoid chaos at the scene, but those who were arrested were their people, those who had not made any mistakes.

Yan Ming read out five names and then stopped.

Five people in the intelligence team made mistakes, which is a high number.

After all, the intelligence team only has a few dozen people, and almost half of them have been replaced. Five people made mistakes, which is almost a quarter of the original team members.

After the five people were arrested, they kept shouting their innocence, but Yan Ming simply told them when, where, and what secrets they had leaked. Things that even the Japanese knew were not considered a shitty secret and there was no need to worry about more people knowing them.

After saying this, these people lowered their heads.

After the intelligence group came the action group, and then each group called out all the people who had violated discipline.

Without exception, these people were brought to the front of the stage and tied up first.

Basically every group had them, with the largest number being in the General Affairs Group, with nine people arrested.

The smallest group is the training group, with only one person.

There were not many people in the training group to begin with, and they were busy training the Chen family guards at the base during this period, but some of them still leaked important secrets.

What we caught this time were all direct leaks, not the kind that were told to others on the site and then spread outside by others.

That way there are more people.

All the people were brought to the front of the stage, a total of thirty-nine people.

There are only more than 200 people in the Shanghai station, and the information leaked by these 39 people is important and confidential.

There are even more people who often let slip what is going on on the site.

If we catch them all, the number would probably be twice as many.

"Deputy Station Master Fang, read out the punishment for them."

Xu Qingyun looked coldly at the people in front of him. Depending on the information they leaked, the punishment would be different.

Soon the names of the eleven people were called out and they would be sent back to the headquarters, where they would be given further arrangements.

After hearing the punishment result, all eleven people were stunned. Some admitted their mistakes and some cried out for injustice. The good days of Shanghai Station had just begun and they did not want to leave Shanghai Station.

Moreover, they were well aware of the consequences of being sent back to the headquarters; they would definitely be sent to a dangerous place.

This is the case for all the people who were previously cleared out of Wuhan and those who were expelled from Shanghai Station last time.

Fang Laibao ignored them, had them taken out, and continued to read out the next punishment decision.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, as they were glad they were not expelled. In their opinion, being kicked out of Shanghai Station was the most severe punishment, and the next punishment would probably be solitary confinement, or some other smaller punishment such as a fine.

This time Fang Laibao read out a total of twenty-five names.

"All of them have been handed over to the military court and are awaiting trial."

As Fang Laibao shouted out the punishment results, everyone was stunned. Their punishment did not become lighter, but heavier.

Send them to military court?

They have no connections or background, and once they are tried, they are very likely to be sentenced.

This is not being exiled, it's going straight to jail.

There were more people crying out for injustice, and a few admitted their mistakes. Like the people just now, they were forcibly taken away and sent to the Nanjing headquarters, and first locked up in the headquarters jail.

The first eleven people were still free when they arrived at the headquarters, but these people will not even have freedom.

"Zhao Xitie..."

Fang Laibao read out the last three names on the list, two from the intelligence team and one from the operations team. Yan Ming had already turned his head, while Fu Wenzhen lowered his head.

"The three people leaked important confidential information, which seriously violated the law and discipline and should be sentenced to death."

The Military Intelligence Department is an intelligence department. Although the three people leaked the information unintentionally, the secrets they leaked were very serious and tantamount to betrayal.

Such people do not need to be judged.

After Xu Qingyun reported to the director, the director immediately agreed that they had only one outcome in the end.

Shot.

In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. Many people at Shanghai Station still retain their bad habits. Some people are lazy, some don't care about the rules, and some just get by.

This time they realized that it was impossible to go back to the way it was before.

Mistakes made unintentionally can also be fatal.

"Stationmaster, I am innocent. I really didn't mean it."

The three of them were all stunned there. When someone came to pull them over, Zhao Xitie was the first to shout, and the other two hurriedly followed suit.

"Shut their mouths."

The three people must die, even if it is just to make an example of them, to let them know that Shanghai Station is no longer what it used to be.

After this incident, anyone who dares to violate the regulations will be severely punished.

In fact, many people have been spared this time. The deaths of these three people will make everyone understand that the internal affairs of the intelligence department cannot be casually discussed outside.

And this time the conviction was based solely on the merchants' confessions, because all these things were known to the Japanese.

What about the secrets they divulge among their friends, relatives and family members?

None of these were pursued.

If the issue is really investigated, I guess few of the old people at Shanghai Station will be able to escape.

"Everyone go out and watch the execution."

Xu Qingyun stood up. This was a public execution, and the purpose was to let these people understand that there are some mistakes that must never be made.

Many times, small mistakes can lead to big disasters, especially in their intelligence departments.

It is not wartime yet. If Shanghai falls during wartime, a small mistake could bring catastrophic disaster to others.

"Eat."

Before the execution, someone brought wine, meat, roast chicken, pork elbows, and rice to the three of them.

The food at Shanghai Station is not bad. In fact, you can eat these things at any time. Now it is just a routine last meal before execution.

"Stationmaster, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

As soon as his mouth was released, someone shouted. Xu Qingyun remained unmoved and just looked at them quietly.

If you are willing to eat, you can eat. If you don’t want to eat, you will be executed anyway.

"Team leader, I was wrong. Please ask the stationmaster for mercy. I will change it. I will change everything."

Seeing that Xu Qingyun did not move, the people from the intelligence team looked at Yan Ming, and Yan Ming turned his head again.

He had already begged for mercy, but to no avail.

Yan Ming was shocked to know that they were going to be executed. After all, they were his subordinates. If he did nothing, it would discourage others, including Fu Wenzhen, who had also pleaded for mercy on his men.

"Don't shout anymore. Your team leader has already worked hard for you. Not only you, but the two of them will also be punished. They will be put in solitary confinement starting tomorrow. Yan Ming will be put in solitary confinement for six days, and Fu Wenzheng will be put in solitary confinement for three days. Their rewards will be deducted for one year."

Fang Laibao shouted that the punishment for Yan Ming and Fu Wenzhen had not been announced before. As team leaders, they were unaware that their subordinates leaked important secrets, so they must be responsible.

Six days of confinement was not a light punishment. After all, these people were originally from the Shanghai Station and were not their direct subordinates.

They can't follow these people every day, so how can they know what they do after leaving the station.

Everyone was stunned. Yan Ming and Fu Wenzhen were punished equally?

They are the stationmaster's confidants, especially Yan Ming, who is recognized as the stationmaster's number one confidant.

Even Deputy Station Master Fang Laibao can't compare to him.

I didn’t expect the webmaster to fine them too.

Not only were they put in solitary confinement, they were also fined one year's reward.

The reward for the team leader is fifty yuan per month, which is six hundred yuan a year. Combined with confinement, this punishment is not light. What might be more serious than this is probably a transfer.

To be honest, they were the ones who suffered the most injustice. They had been working hard and running around all this time, but in the end they were implicated by their subordinates.

It was no use pleading, and one person burst into tears.

All three of them were the same, with no appetite for the food in front of them.

After a while, Xu Qingyun nodded to Fang Laibao.

Fang Laibao came to the three people, sighed, and advised them to eat a little. As a result, the three people kept begging for mercy and crying so hard that Fang Laibao could not hear what they were saying.

"Execute the sentence."

Persuasion was useless, Fang Laibao stood up and said that according to the regulations, the crime they had committed should be punished by shooting, and it was the same everywhere.

The stationmaster is going to use an iron fist to clean up Shanghai Station, and no one can save them.

The three men had their mouths gagged again, and when they were pulled over they could no longer stand and were forcibly fixed to the rack.

Everyone was there, and many turned their heads or closed their eyes.

The three men with good marksmanship fired together, and then Chang Zhiling stepped forward to check the three people, confirmed that they were dead, and reported to Xu Qingyun that the execution was completed.
