The Spy

Chapter 32 Finding the Cause
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. In this incident, Li Liangwen revealed many abnormalities.

"Go ask again and try to confirm whether Peng Sujiao really lost a lot of money. If so, to whom did she lose it? Was it her wife who usually played cards with her, or someone else?"

Xu Qingyun instructed that solving the case required rigorous reasoning. Although he had an idea in his mind, he needed facts to support it.

Speculations are just to find out the direction of investigation. Before confirmation, speculations cannot be regarded as facts to avoid being misled by investigation errors.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Yan Ming went out quickly. Xie Yongshan stood by and watched him leave with approval in his eyes.

Even though he and Yan Ming had only worked together for a few hours, he now liked this talkative and smart little guy very much.

"Captain Xu, Yan Ming is good, he is a talented person."

Xie Yongshan took the initiative to speak, and Xu Qingyun smiled and said, "Team Leader Xie, you are too kind. He is still young and needs to be tempered."

Yan Ming is his subordinate, so he can say whatever he wants.

"He is young, aren't you younger?"

Xie Yongshan thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud. He took the initiative to change the subject: "The clue Yan Ming found is very important. It is possible that the enemy has broken into Li Liangwen through his wife. If Peng Sujiao really lost a lot of money, enough for them to pay back, Li Liangwen may have no choice but to be forced to work for them."

"That's possible, so I asked Yan Ming to verify it. If your guess is true, Li Liangwen might have been dragged down like this."

Xu Qingyun replied softly. He had the same thought as Xie Yongshan wanted to ask: the Japanese were cunning and would use any means possible, making it hard to guard against them.

While Li Liangwen was not at home, they attacked his wife, causing her family to owe a huge debt, and then used the debt to force Li Liangwen to achieve their goal.

"The Japanese are omnipresent."

Xie Yongshan sighed, Yan Ming is still verifying it, but he feels that this possibility is very high, and then it depends on the results of the investigation.

The verification was quick and Yan Ming came back in less than an hour.

"Before Peng Sujiao was beaten, she changed a few poker partners, who were also women. It was said that they were the mistresses of business owners in the concession. They were generous. Peng Sujiao won a little in the early stage, but then she started to lose, and then she lost more and more."

"There are rumors that Peng Sujiao lost tens of thousands of dollars. According to her own statement, it was her husband who found someone through his connections and finally got them to forgive her gambling debts, but her husband still beat her up severely."

After Yan Ming finished speaking, Xie Yongshan looked at Xu Qingyun. As expected, Peng Sujiao had fallen into the trap and foolishly came in.

Mahjong is a game for four people, and the three of them are obviously in a group. If you want her to win, she can win, and if you want her to lose, she will not be able to take away a single point.

"Have you found out the identities of those women?"

Yan Ming nodded: "I asked, but no one knows. Ever since Peng Sujiao was beaten and stopped playing cards, they disappeared."

People disappear because their purpose is achieved.

In this way, Li Liangwen became their man and no one knew how much information he had leaked in the past six months.

All external contacts of Tianjin Station are through the telecommunications group. The telecommunications group has few people. Li Liangwen is a technical backbone, and most of the telegrams will pass through his hands. If the Japanese had not asked him to steal Xu Qingyun's case closing report this time, his identity as a traitor would probably not have been discovered.

"Team Leader Jie, keep an eye on them. Keep an eye on Peng Sujiao as well."

Xu Qingyun instructed that Peng Sujiao was the key to Li Liangwen's betrayal, and she knew that her man was working for the Japanese.

If it is inconvenient for Li Liangwen to contact the Japanese, he may convey the message through her, so it is necessary to put him under surveillance.

"No problem, I'll arrange two people to keep an eye on her."

Xie Yongshan had received professional training and had worked for several years, so he understood the necessity of monitoring Peng Sujiao.

"Team Leader Jie, all your men are men. You must transfer two women here. Find two people in the station that Peng Sujiao has never seen before." Peng Sujiao is a woman. If the other party is also a woman, they can go to places where only women can go and avoid possible surveillance.

For example, in a women's products store, it would be too conspicuous for a man to go in.

It's simply a women's restroom, and men are definitely not allowed to enter.

"Okay, I'll go back to the station and choose it myself."

Xie Yongshan did not object. He had indeed not expected Xu Qingyun's arrangement, but it made sense. Surveillance had to be comprehensive. There were women in the station. Although they were not professional agents, they worked in the intelligence department after all, so they knew something.

He told them clearly that they should go to places that were inconvenient for men. Xie Yongshan believed that they could carry out such tasks well.

In the restaurant, Wu Shaoshu is entertaining Xu Zhanjie.

Xu Zhanjie did not report to the headquarters in advance, so he owed them a big favor, so he had to treat them to this meal. Now they are not the ones in charge of the case, so they don't need to worry about the case. Just drink less.

Soon someone came in and reported the situation at the surveillance point.

Even while eating, the two of them were equally focused on the case.

"Chief Xu, you have a good student."

After the report, Wu Shaoshu first sighed that Xu Qingyun had found out the reason why Li Liangwen was turned against the government. He not only thought of monitoring Li Liangwen's wife, but also thought of using women.

How could this kind of thinking be something a 20-year-old boy would have?

There are extremely talented people in every industry. With just a little effort, they can achieve higher results than those who work hard. It is obvious that Xu Qingyun is one of these people and is born to do this job.

Xu Qingyun is young now, but what about the future?
Xu Zhanjie not only has a good apprentice, but also has a successor. Once Xu Qingyun grows up in the future, there is definitely hope that he will take over his position.

"Stationmaster Wu, you too, have a good soldier in the station."

Xu Zhanjie responded with a smile and specifically reminded Wu Shaoshu that Xu Qingyun was his now.

It does no harm for Xu Qingyun to have the ability.

"Yes, I toast you a glass to thank you for giving me a talent."

Wu Shaoshu understood what he meant and was not disgusted. It was a good thing that Xu Qingyun was capable. As long as he was at Tianjin Station, he would have a share in anyone's achievements.

He hoped that Xu Qingyun could do better and catch a few more Japanese spies this time.

At that time, not only will his position as stationmaster be consolidated, but he will also be praised by his superiors.

Xu Qingyun's arrangements were very thorough, and the two were very relieved. They just listened and kept abreast of the progress of the case.

There was no conversation all night and the sky brightened.

There was nothing unusual in Li Liangwen's home that night. In the morning, he rode his bicycle to work as usual, and Peng Sujiao took the children to school. Their two children, a boy and a girl, were not very old and were very cute.

It’s a pity that their parents are not doing well and will not be able to continue to provide them with a good life in the future.

"Captain, I'm coming."

Yan Ming told Xu Qingyun that the people who were monitoring Li Liangwen were Xie Yongshan's subordinates, and Yan Ming was assisting them. The newly selected action team members of Xie Yongshan were not familiar with Li Liangwen and had never had any dealings with him.

Xu Qingyun also specifically reminded them not to follow too closely, and would rather lose him than let Li Liangwen discover their presence.
