The Spy

Chapter 373 The waiter was arrested
"You're right, it's about making money, but it's not entirely true."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. It was good that Xu Xiaoer could guess these things, but it was not enough.

"Go on, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Xu Xiaoer's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Xu Qingyun and asked in a low voice, "District Chief, you don't want me to go and hide with the Japanese, do you?"

He has been thinking a lot these days.

Zhao San taught him so many things, including what occasions to be in, how to pay attention to safety and so on.

He had suspected before that he was being asked to carry out an undercover mission.

But it's not lurking behind enemy lines like in Shanghai, but going undercover among the enemy.

This was what he feared the most, and he had never dared to ask before.

"Haha, very good, you did a good job, I believe you can complete the task successfully."

Xu Qingyun smiled happily. In order to cooperate with Xu Xiaoer in his undercover work, Xu Qingyun had already made arrangements.

Xu Xiaoer still doesn't know that his public performance in the training class was not because he was transferred for special training, but because he absconded.

Xu Xiaoer’s identity cannot be faked, as a fake identity can be easily detected.

Including Xu Xiaoer's family, they had been secretly taken away by the Military Control Commission. They announced to the public that Xu Xiaoer was arrested because of his treason, but in fact they were protected.

They now work in pharmaceutical factories and are very safe.

Xu Xiaoer would not use a fake identity to go to the Japanese side, he used his real identity.

He was a repeater and was inconspicuous in the training class. With the cooperation of Deputy Director Yu, it was not difficult to create the illusion that he had escaped.

Besides, Xu Qingyun had made arrangements in advance, so Xu Xiaoer had more reasons.

Xu Xiaoer didn't know any of this. He would be told slowly and told clearly what he should do after he got to the Japanese side.

With the cooperation of Takeda, the Special High Police can know Xu Xiaoer's situation at any time.

"District Chief, can you please have someone else perform this task?"

Xu Xiaoer asked very carefully, he really didn't want to lurk among the Japanese.

Not to mention the danger, he didn't know if he could do it well.

"No, this is an order."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. Fortunately, he knew his character. Xu Xiaoer must go. He was the most suitable candidate.

"Yes."

Xu Xiaoer responded helplessly. He could not disobey the order. Now he was behind enemy lines. If he disobeyed the order, the district chief could kill him at any time.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die, so he didn't think about dying.

"There are some things I can tell you..."

Xu Qingyun told Xu Xiaoer about the training class, and his eyes widened. From the moment he was selected, he was already a traitor to the Military Control Commission?

At least in the eyes of outsiders.

It seems that the district chief originally wanted him to go undercover in the Japanese place, so he asked Zhao San to give him special training. He was very depressed. There were more than a thousand people in the training class, so why did the district chief choose himself, a repeater?
Where exactly did he perform well?
He guessed that the person who went to school was Xu Qingyun, but he never mentioned it to anyone. How did Xu Qingyun figure out who he was?
There was no point in thinking too much, he could only accept this task.

If you don't accept it, your family will be in trouble.

This time he guessed wrong. He really didn't want to carry out the order. At most he would be punished, and Xu Qingyun would never implicate his family.

"Continue to do your business. When your business reaches a certain scale, I will let the Japanese know about your situation. After being caught by the Special Higher Police, you will..."

Xu Qingyun explained to Xu Xiaoer that these were very important and he had to make them clear.

And to dispel the Japanese suspicion, they determined that he ran away from school on his own.

As for the reason, Xu Qingyun had already prepared it for him. The school had already spread the news a long time ago, and it would not be difficult for the Special High Section to verify it.

"Don't worry, District Chief. I know what to do."

Xu Xiaoer felt bitter. It seemed that he was going to suffer a lot. Who knew what the Japanese would do to him.

It would be strange if it could be good if it fell into the hands of the Japanese.

"Zhao San will continue to contact you. He will be your upline from now on, but we must keep our contacts secret."

After Xu Qingyun got up and arrived in Shanghai, Zhao San disguised himself so that no one would recognize him.

This safe house can no longer be used.

As for Xu Xiaoer, Zhao San had already covered up for him. He came to Shanghai on another ship. All the records were there. Even if the Japanese found the passengers on the ship, they could confirm that Xu Xiaoer was on that ship.

There was a person who looked very similar to Xu Xiaoer and covered for him.

It is not difficult to find someone who looks similar to you in China, not to mention there are ways to disguise yourself.

"Yes, I understand."

Xu Xiaoer nodded. Since the district chief came personally to assign the task, there was no way he could refuse.

If you want to survive, you must complete this task.

Xu Xiaoer had no objection to beating the Japanese. He was also a hot-blooded man and not very old.

If he could make a great contribution to the anti-Japanese war, he would be willing to do it.

Xu Qingyun left, and the follow-up will be arranged by Zhao San.

Now is not the time to send him to the Special High Police, at least let his business improve.

Xu Xiaoer's ability to make money is a kind of protection for him.

As for Takeda, he will not know Xu Xiaoer's true identity. Xu Qingyun will tell him that there is a traitor in the Military Control Commission and that he can make use of the waste and give it to him to gain credit.

Except for him, Zhao San, Deputy Director Yu, Boss Dai and Secretary Qi, in the eyes of everyone else, Xu Xiaoer is a real traitor.

This is the best way to protect him.

Time passed slowly and it was late April.

The weather in Shanghai has warmed up a lot, and many people are smiling again.

No matter what the environment in Shanghai is like, people need to survive and they cannot change the fact that they are being exploited.

Now it's just someone else who is exploiting them.

However, many people in the Japanese-occupied areas no longer dared to speak carelessly, and even in the concessions, no one dared to speak carelessly.

In order to reduce anti-Japanese speech, the Japanese assassinated several anti-Japanese activists.

Both the French Concession and the International Settlement protested against this.

Unfortunately, it was just a protest without any substantive action.

This result was within Xu Qingyun's expectations. The great powers such as Britain, the United States, and France would never go to war with Japan for China. It was sheer foolishness for many people to pin their hopes on them.

Xu Xiaoer's business is getting better and better.

He is very careful and there is no problem with his safety for the time being.

Through smuggling, he has doubled his assets and now has assets worth nearly three thousand oceans.

There are now more than 20 Chinese agents in the Shanghai Special High Police.

They did not capture them, but rather concentrated all the Chinese spies who surrendered in various places in Shanghai. Tsuchiya attached the most importance to Shanghai. Other places could be put aside for the time being. An intelligence department composed of Chinese people must be established in Shanghai first.

The Chinese know themselves best, and these Chinese are more useful than them in investigating cases.

The time was almost right, and Xu Qingyun sent a signal to Takeda.

"A student who escaped from the Military Control Commission?"

Takeda was a little surprised when he received the news, but soon became happy. Although he was a runaway student and not a real Military Intelligence Bureau agent, as long as he was related to the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was a great achievement.

The Shanghai Special High Police has never caught a real Military Control Commission agent.

I only caught a few peripheral ones before, but it was of no use at all.

The Chinese were very considerate. Instead of dealing with the traitor themselves, they handed him over to him. Although this traitor was just a student, he knew many secrets of the Military Control Commission's training.

He has seen all these students. His role is much stronger than those peripheral ones.

Xu Qingyun gave him a clue, but he couldn't report it directly, there had to be a process.

He needs to find this clue himself, otherwise there is no way to explain the source.

Takeda was not in a hurry. He was now the deputy head of the intelligence team, but he had the final say over the entire intelligence team.

Knowing who it is and even where it is, it is easy to track down this person.

"District Chief, Takeda has already started to act. After Xu Xiaoer is captured, the Japanese will not beat him to death, right?"

Zhao Sanlai came to report to Xu Qingyun, he also knew about Takeda's existence.

However, Xu Xiaoer was the only one who knew about it. Even Yan Ming, the person Xu Qingyun trusted the most, didn't know about it. Xu Qingyun had never been careless when it came to confidentiality.

"Don't worry, it's impossible."

Xu Xiaoer was a very valuable person. Just because he knew so many people in the training school, it was impossible for the Japanese to kill him.

Xu Xiaoer was a good speaker, and he had ways to protect himself when he met the Japanese.

But a punishment is definitely inevitable.

"That's good."

Zhao San heaved a sigh of relief. He had never accepted any students, and Xu Xiaoer was his first disciple.

He is also someone he cares about very much.

Worry can lead to confusion. In fact, Zhao San was smart enough to understand that Xu Xiaoer would only suffer, and his life would not be in danger. He was just worried.

"You can't do this in your current state. You must have absolute confidence in him at all times. If you can't do this, I'll let Yan Ming be his liaison."

"District Chief, I have absolute confidence in him, no need to change him."

Zhao San was startled and hastened to assure him that he did care about Xu Xiaoer's safety and was a little worried.

"Go do something."

Xu Qingyun waved his hand. There was a lot of work in the Shanghai area and he was very busy recently.

The Special High Police assassinated several patriotic intellectuals. The Shanghai District cannot remain unresponsive to this matter. If he dared to assassinate, Xu Qingyun would dare to retaliate.

This time it was not revenge against traitors, but active Japanese.

It is more difficult for officers to retaliate, but it is not a problem for ordinary people.

Some Japanese are very active, and Xu Qingyun's target this time is them.

Regardless of their identity, those who are active must die.

Yan Ming is investigating them. Assassinating the Japanese is different from punishing traitors. The plan needs to be more meticulous to ensure that their people are not harmed.

Many people shouted for one-for-one exchange and to perish together with the Japanese. It can only be said that this idea was too naive.

War is never about who has more people. Numbers are just an advantage, not an absolute one.

If numbers were useful, the final outcome of the Battle of Shanghai would not be what it is now.

Xu Qingyun would never let his men trade one-for-one with the Japanese. That would be irresponsible behavior, and he would never use the lives of his men to write credit for himself.

He is not Boss Dai.

It is fundamentally different from Boss Dai.

Yan Ming goes out early and comes back late, and Takeda's investigation has also made progress.

He deliberately investigated some illegal businessmen and discovered Xu Xiaoer.

Xu Xiaoer has anti-tracking ability, and the people he sent were unable to follow him.

This discovery was enough to make him pay attention to Xu Xiaoer. By investigating Xu Xiaoer's identity, Takeda soon discovered his true identity.

These are not difficult to check.

In particular, there was a commotion at the training class.

"Section Chief, although Xu Xiaoer is a traitor to the Military Control Commission, he has certain value. If we catch him, it will not only humiliate the Military Control Commission, but also allow us to learn more about the Military Control Commission."

Takeda came to Kamei and gave a detailed report.

"You're right, arrest him."

Kamei nodded. Although he was just a traitor, even a traitor among students, he would take it seriously because he was related to the Military Control Commission.

Unfortunately, he was not a traitor in the Shanghai district. What he wanted to know most now was the situation of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai district.

"Yes."

Takeda took the order. At this time Xu Xiaoer didn't know that he had been exposed.

Anti-tracking actions were his daily routine, but even if he knew he was exposed, he couldn't leave. After Xu Qingyun appeared, he realized that he would soon be captured by the Japanese.

I will live with the Japanese in the future.

The arrest went smoothly. Xu Xiaoer was in the smuggling business, which sometimes required him to take risks and come to the Japanese territory.

He had been targeted, and after leaving the concession, he was quickly held down by Special High Police agents.

Even though he knew his mission, Xu Xiaoer couldn't help but tremble a little.

He was really scared, not just acting.

Xu Xiaoer himself is not a particularly brave person, otherwise he would not have always been at the bottom of the training class.

He has many shortcomings, but one thing is that he would not commit treason.

He is Chinese, a proud Chinese.

Xu Qingyun understood all this, so he was so confident in him.

"hang up."

In the interrogation room, Takeda ordered his men to ask Kamei to come to the interrogation room as well, as he wanted to interrogate the case personally.

After all, he is related to the Military Control Commission.

The chief section chief had given him an order, not to capture Xu Qingyun, but to capture the Military Control Commission personnel and gain a clear understanding of the situation in the Shanghai area.

Among all Chinese agents, Military Intelligence Bureau agents are the most valuable.

Next is the Red Party, and finally the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Not only them, some Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents were captured in various places. Their performance was indeed very poor, and they soon became recognized by Japanese agents as the worst and lowest-level Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents.

"Uncle, uncles, I didn't do anything, please let me go."

Xu Xiaoer began to beg for mercy with a trembling voice. His appearance made Kamei feel more at ease, realizing that this man was not a tough guy.

He can ask for what he wants right away.

Sure enough, after a few beatings, Xu Xiaoer confessed.

He admitted that he used to be a member of the Military Control Commission. Knowing that the school was going to arrange for him to be a member of the suicide squad, he didn't want to die, so he ran away.

Deputy Director Yu did make such arrangements.

A group of suicide squad members need to be trained in the training school. The number will not be large, just thirty.

Mainly those who usually perform poorly.

This was Xu Qingyun's suggestion. Unexpectedly, Boss Dai strongly supported it after knowing it and asked Deputy Director Yu to do it.

Especially after Xu Xiaoer left, he asked Deputy Director Yu to strengthen the control over poor students and not allow them to leave the school at will.

These will make it easier for Xu Xiaoer to conceal his identity.

As for the rest of the poor students, it can only be said that they were unlucky. Xu Qingyun never intended to harm them. He simply underestimated the ruthlessness of Boss Dai.

With this pressure, students will not dare to be lazy in the future.

As long as he can train good enough agents, Boss Dai won't mind giving up some people, not to mention that he really doesn't like these poor students.
