The Spy

Chapter 354 Finding Comrades
"Team Leader Yan."

Taguchi was brought over quickly. He was the Japanese who surrendered most thoroughly. Now he completely obeyed Xu Qingyun's orders and did whatever he was told to do.

"Captain Taguchi is here, please sit down."

Yan Ming responded with a smile, saying that Taguchi was currently the captain of the Japanese spy team in Shanghai. He had no formal organization, but was very motivated.

Xu Qingyun would not give them a position in the organization, so that they would be members of the Military Intelligence Department on the surface, and would not be able to escape responsibility if anything happened in the future.

Without an identity, Xu Qingyun could completely deny what Tiankou did.

"Team Leader Yan, if you have any tasks, just give me the instructions."

After sitting down, Tiankou said respectfully that he was now completely free and Xu Qingyun no longer restricted his travel.

But there aren’t many places I can go, and I can’t appear in public.

If the Japanese found out about him, they would definitely find a way to sanction him. Taguchi knew all this and rarely went out.

"There is a mission..."

Yan Ming said with a smile and quickly finished his task. Yan Wu disappointed him too much and he definitely could not stay.

Yan Wu is still useful now. Let him attract the attention of the Special High Section and give them hope.

This time will not be too long. The stationmaster's meaning is to make arrangements first, let the Special High Section think that Yanwu is extremely valuable, and then take action after the New Year.

"Don't worry, I will do it well."

After listening to Yan Ming, Tiankou immediately agreed and asked him to go to the Japanese-occupied area to collect intelligence.

Although he was Japanese and spoke Japanese fluently, it was more dangerous for him to go to the Japanese-occupied areas than for Chinese agents.

Once your identity is exposed, you will surely die.

"Very good. I believe you."

Yan Ming smiled and nodded. Arai was staring at Yan Wu, but he didn't know that his troubles were about to come.

Xu Qingyun was in the concession and had a lot of newspapers around him.

The fall of Nanjing had a great impact on the morale of the Guo army. The Japanese continued to attack in the north, and Jinan and Tai'an fell one after another.

Although the Japanese failed to occupy China in three months as they boasted, the war on all sides was indeed going smoothly, and they looked set to completely take over the north.

Shandong has become the main battlefield.

In a few months, when the war in the north is over, the Japanese will understand that with their current strength, it is impossible for them to take over the whole of China in a short period of time.

Although the Guo army still suffered heavy losses after this victory, it greatly boosted morale.

"Stationmaster, telegram."

Zhao San walked in with a new telegram from William.

Just like with Xu's Company, Xu Qingyun would not easily go to see William unless it was absolutely necessary, and would always pay attention to safety.

"Send someone to bring this information."

After reading the telegram, Xu Qingyun instructed Zhao San that William should order intelligence from Osaka as they requested.

What is needed this time is military intelligence, mainly the developments on the northern battlefield.

That bastard named Han was only interested in preserving his strength. He refused to fight the Japanese head-on and would just hide when he met them. He was primarily responsible for the loss of most parts of Shandong.

Fortunately, this bastard didn't last long. People like him deserve to die.

Before, a man named Han also wanted to be an agent, but Xu Qingyun treated him even more harshly than he treated Tang Boen and ignored him at all.

That guy, Tomboy, has been a little more honest lately.

After saving his nephew last time, Tomboyne could guess why he did it. He only thanked the director and didn't express any gratitude to him at all.

This is a good idea. Xu Qingyun is too lazy to have anything to do with him.

"Manager, telegram."

In the International Settlement, at Xu's Trading Company, Xu Fuzhong also received a telegram. When he saw that it was a code, he sent his secretary away and translated it alone.

The telegram was sent by the young master, asking him to urge the pharmaceutical factory in the United States to ship the goods as soon as possible.

The American pharmaceutical company has breached the contract. If the products are not shipped within half a month, they will formally sue the company, and the company will have to pay a large sum of liquidated damages.

Xu Qingyun had long anticipated that American pharmaceutical companies would not be honest.

If he is really forced to take action, he will find an opportunity to acquire the American pharmaceutical company in the future.

It’s not that he doesn’t have the ability.

"Send a telegram to the United States and ask them to warn the other side and ask the court to be prepared."

Xu Fuzhong called his secretary. He was also angry about the behavior of the American pharmaceutical company. The country was suffering, and the pharmaceutical company that had made so much money from them was now adding insult to injury.

It turns out that none of these foreigners are good people.

Time passed slowly and half of January was soon over.

Many families in the concession have begun to prepare for the New Year. For many Chinese, the New Year is the most important day. Even poor families will prepare the most sumptuous food on this day and have a hearty meal with their families.

Not to mention those from wealthy families, who have to abide by all kinds of rules.

If you are away from home, you must go home and reunite with your family on New Year's Day unless there is no other choice.

Xu Qingyun belongs to the special category, and he cannot go home for the Chinese New Year this year.

Not only him, many people in Shanghai Station are like this.

They want to stay in Shanghai and continue fighting.

In faraway Chongqing, the Xu family has moved to a renovated area, and the entire street is filled with people from the Xu family.

The Xu family lives in the innermost and most spacious house.

"Erxi, I'm back."

There are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, and the two old men of the Xu family have already started preparing for the New Year. This is the first time for them to celebrate the New Year away from home.

Haifeng fell and they could no longer return home.

If Xu Qingyun had not taken them out in advance, the Xu family would probably have ceased to exist under the Japanese slaughter.

Even so, some people were killed in their hometown.

If you don't surrender to the Japanese, they will find ways to deal with you, especially a big family like their Xu family. If you oppose the Japanese, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Japanese.

To not surrender is to die.

For the two old men, surrender is more painful than death. If they really stayed in their hometown, they could imagine what the final fate of the Xu family would be.

"Master, Second Master, I'm back."

Xu Erxi gave the two of them a big gift. He was in Xi'an, in charge of the operations of the pharmaceutical factory there, and was also the person Xu Qingshi trusted the most.

"Thanks a lot."

Xu Jiaming first said that Xu Erxi was a policeman before and had an official status, although this status was also arranged by their Xu family.

But in the eyes of many people, being a policeman is definitely better than being a pharmaceutical factory manager. If Xu Erxi were in Chongqing, he might even be the director of a branch by now.

The lowest position you can reach is deputy director.

It is equivalent to him giving up his own future for the Xu family.

"Second Master, you are too kind. I am not having any hardship."

Xu Erxi hurriedly said that he couldn't stay at home for the New Year this time and would have to go back in a few days.

The pharmaceutical factory did not take a New Year holiday and continued production, mainly because the military had a huge demand for sulfa drugs, and there was also a huge demand among the public. The more drugs were produced, the more lives could be saved.

During the New Year period, all overtime workers will receive triple pay and additional bonuses.

Xu Erxi also took advantage of the some time before the New Year to come back and report on the latest situation.

"It's a pity that you can't stay for the New Year. This is for you."

Xu Jiazhi sighed and took out a red envelope. This was also Xu Qingyun's request. Xu Erxi gave up his future and helped them guard the pharmaceutical factory, so he could not be treated unfairly in terms of money.

The red envelope contained not cash but a cashier's check for a total of five thousand US dollars.

Xu Erxi had no shares in the pharmaceutical factory, unlike Xu Fuzhong and Ma Xiangshun who could get dividends, so the red envelope given to him was bigger. "Thank you, Master."

Xu Erxi did not refuse. After taking the red envelope, he quickly left. Xu Qingshi was waiting for him.

The two old people of the Xu family are here, so Xu Erxi must see them first when he comes back, and then go to see Xu Qingshi.

"How's the pharmaceutical factory doing?"

Xu Qingshi was not in the police station. After Xu Erxi came over, he immediately asked.

"all the best."

After Xu Erxi finished speaking, he went to the door again, looked outside, and closed the door after making sure that there was no one there.

"found it?"

Seeing his expression, Xu Qingshi immediately understood what he wanted to say and asked first.

"Yes, found it."

Xu Erxi smiled and nodded. He was managing a pharmaceutical factory in Xi'an and had a secret mission.

That is to find a way to find comrades in the organization.

After his observation, he finally determined that a businessman named Luo was their comrade. In addition, there was another comrade who came to see him.

Now the two parties are cooperating to fight against Japan together, and the organization is using two people, openly and secretly, to purchase sulfa drugs.

Xu Qingyun guessed correctly. The pharmaceutical factory was built in Xi'an, and the organization would definitely send people there. Xu Erxi was there, and he would give them the goods, whether openly or secretly.

"Great."

After listening to Xu Erxi's words, Xu Qingshi nodded happily. They not only found a comrade, but they found two of them.

This has always been Xu Qingshi’s biggest wish, and now it has finally come true.

"Master, when will we recognize the organization?"

Xu Erxi asked proactively, and Xu Qingshi shook his head: "Don't worry, we still have a senior brother who has not been found. Master has not been able to establish contact with the organization. The organization does not know of our existence at all, so we cannot recognize him rashly."

Xu Qingshi is no longer an ordinary person and is not so impatient in doing things.

They have no files in the organization, and now they manage an important pharmaceutical factory. Xu Qingshi is also the director general of the Chongqing Police Department, so he can do more things secretly.

It is only a matter of time before I recognize the organization, but not now.

"it is good."

Xu Erxi nodded in response. He knew that his senior brother had inherited Lu Hanping's code name. The young master had always wanted to find this senior brother, but unfortunately, this mysterious senior brother had never appeared since the last time he rescued his comrades.

Time passes slowly, and the New Year’s bell finally rings.

The last day of the month marks the first day of the new year.

For Chinese people, this is the real New Year.

Even during war, many big cities still set off firecrackers and fireworks.

Especially wealthy families, they will definitely put more.

It’s a way for them to express themselves.

The streets of Shanghai were already filled with red lanterns, and brand new Spring Festival couplets were posted in front of the shops, and the concession was filled with a festive atmosphere.

In contrast, in the original urban area, under the control of the Japanese, many people did not dare to celebrate the New Year in a grand manner.

"Drink, drink."

Yan Wu is still drinking. Arai has been keeping an eye on him for a month. Yan Wu has come into contact with many people, but none of them are from the Shanghai station.

Yan Ming never showed up.

His patience was wearing thin.

If Yan Ming does not show up within three months at most, he will secretly capture Yan Wu and use Yan Wu to lure out Yan Ming.

This month he was certain of one thing, that Yan Wu really didn't know where Yan Ming was.

He found someone Yan Wu knew before, and after a brief training, he deliberately asked him to go to Yan Wu to ask questions.

After the two of them drank a lot of wine, he told Yan Wu that the Japanese were looking for Yan Ming, and if they could find Yan Ming, they would get a lot of reward.

Arai dared to do this because he conducted a detailed investigation of Yan Wu and found that not only did he not have any loyalty to Yan Ming, but he also did a lot of things behind Yan Ming's back.

For this reason, he deliberately increased Yan Ming's bounty.

There has always been a wanted list for people from the Shanghai station. The first one was Xu Qingyun, and the reward was extremely high, 10,000 yuan.

This is not a small number in the Japanese bounty.

Yan Ming's original salary was one thousand, but now it has been raised to five thousand dollars.

Yan Wu found it hard to resist the temptation of five thousand dollars.

As it turned out, Yan Wu was indeed moved, but he didn't know where Yan Ming was and had concerns.

Yan Ming is a spy. If he is betrayed, other spies will most likely avenge Yan Ming. At that time, he will have the life to get the money but not the life to spend it.

Arai had no interest in Yan Wu's concerns. He just wanted to find out that he really didn't know where Yan Ming was.

I don’t know if this is normal. If he were to hide, no one would know where he is.

During the exploration, Xinjing also made a major discovery, that is, Yan Wu had an emergency way to contact Yan Ming.

This is what Arai wants.

However, the emergency method is risky. It is better to wait until Yan Ming appears himself. In this way, not only can Yan Ming be caught, but there is also hope of catching Xu Qingyun.

The section chief had asked him several times about the progress of the case, and Arai knew that he couldn't delay it too long.

In the past month, the two cases he has been working on have not been going well.

Yan Ming did not show up on his side, and Takeda was unable to find the outskirts of Shanghai Station.

Takeda only checked two hundred people in a month, so four thousand people could not be checked in a year.

"Hello, brothers..."

Yan Wu was drinking in the restaurant and playing finger-guessing with his men. The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face, but he didn't dare to chase them away.

In just one month, Yan Wu owed more than ten dollars for meals at their restaurant.

If this continues, their small shop will not be able to sustain itself and will have to close.

Arai was watching personally, and when he saw Yanwu enjoying the wine and meat, he snorted coldly.

This group of Yan Wu is not that great, but they know how to enjoy themselves.

Every time they could only watch each other eat and drink.

Outside the restaurant, a figure walked over, stopped at the door, and looked around.

"Team leader, there is a situation."

Seeing this person enter the restaurant and come to the table next to Yan Wu, the person at the surveillance point immediately shouted.

Yanwu often came to this restaurant to eat, so Arai set up a surveillance point nearby.

Arai immediately came to the window and took the telescope.

The person who entered was wearing a windbreaker, a scarf and a hat, covering his face. Arai just happened to notice that he turned his head and looked at the people at Yanwu's table.

"Send someone over, this person is a suspect."

Arai immediately gave orders. The person who had just arrived was indeed a suspect. Could it be Yan Ming?

Whether it is true or not, he will send someone to follow.

Taguchi recognized Yanwu.

Seeing that Yan Wu was drinking, he stood up, walked to the table, placed an envelope in front of Yan Wu, and turned and left.

After walking out of the restaurant, he quickened his pace and turned into an alley on the side.

Fortunately, Arai had just made arrangements and the two Japanese agents immediately followed.
