The Spy

Chapter 39: Become a regular employee again
The design of this interception chute is very clever. All small garbage can pass through, and only large garbage is intercepted.

But there is a drawback. If there is too much large garbage in the sewer, it can easily cause blockage. Xu Qingyun noticed that there was not much garbage left in the blocking trough, which meant that someone cleaned it regularly.

Fortunately, there are not many plastic bags in this era, otherwise it would be completely blocked in a short time, causing the water level to rise, and no one would know where the information released would go.

After careful observation, Xu Qingyun threw the false information into the blocking slot and immediately came to the Concession Mall.

According to Mina Takamoto, after releasing the intelligence, it is necessary to draw the intelligence release signal here. Xu Qingyun carefully observed the surroundings and couldn't help shaking his head.

There are too many people here. It is the most prosperous area in Tianjin and there are patrol officers on duty. It is difficult to find people here. The Japanese spies are cunning and chose the safest place for themselves.

The signal point had to be inquired about, so Xu Qingyun asked Yan Ming to take people to keep an eye on it, while he returned to the teahouse.

The teahouse is the most important. If the Japanese spies want to steal intelligence, they will definitely come here.

Nanjing, Military Intelligence Department.

Qi Wu hurried to the office with the telegram. It was too late yesterday, and Xu Zhanjie estimated the director's working hours and reported the situation in Tianjin as soon as the director arrived.

"Caught two?"

The director showed a look of joy and sent a long telegram. Xu Zhanjie reported that Xu Qingyun, a student he accepted in Tianjin, found that someone had sneaked into his office. Through investigation, he identified the identity of the traitor and finally arrested two hidden agents of the Japanese Special High Section.

We cooperated fully in Tianjin station and performed very well this time.

"It seems that Xu Qingyun is indeed very capable."

Qi Wu responded with a smile. He had thoroughly investigated Xu Qingyun's personal situation and found him innocent. After his meritorious service, there would be no problem.

"Tianjin Station is not bad either. Zhan Jie said that Tianjin Station was very cooperative and successfully captured two Japanese spies."

The director was in a very good mood. Xu Zhanjie did what he said and said a lot of good things about Tianjin Station. Wu Shaoshu's crisis was completely resolved.

"That's because you lead well."

Qi Wu flattered Chu Zuo without making any expression, and Chu Zuo was very impressed by it and laughed out loud.

The Military Intelligence Department caught another Japanese spy. He could give an account to the old man. After laughing, he immediately ordered: "Tell them not to be proud, not to slack off, and destroy this group of the Special High Section. I will report their achievements then. In addition, report any situation in time."

The traitor was discovered the day before yesterday, but was only reported today. The director saw through Xu Zhanjie's intention.

First of all, it was not a good thing to have a traitor in Tianjin Station, and Wu Shaoshu was likely to be implicated. Secondly, the identity of the traitor could not be confirmed at the time, and the Japanese spy was not caught. He was afraid that he would be scolded if he failed to produce any results after reporting it.

So I report it only after I have the results.

He could understand this time, but no delay would be allowed in the future. Progress must be reported as soon as possible and he wanted to know the details of the case at the first opportunity.

"Yes."

Qi Wu lowered his head and left. Xu Zhanjie was lucky. He got this great achievement for free by going to Tianjin. It was Xu Zhanjie who reported the case and he also guided his students to solve the case. So the main credit went to him.

Wu Shaoshu was not bad either. At least he reversed the director's unfavorable impression of him. If he could catch more Japanese spies, his position as station chief would be very stable.

Not long after, Xu Zhanjie received a call back from the headquarters. After reading the telegram, he smiled even more brightly and forwarded the telegram to Wu Shaoshu.

The content of the telegram made Wu Shaoshu very happy. The director praised him by name, and he finally put his mind at ease.

"Chief Xu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."

Wu Shaoshu clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude. If Xu Zhanjie had not helped him this time, he would have been scolded at best, and might even be transferred out of Tianjin one day.

"You're being polite. It's mainly because Qingyun worked hard to help you and me win this honor." Xu Zhanjie smiled and shook his head. Wu Shaoshu immediately understood what he meant: "Yes, Qingyun is indeed a hard-working kid. Why did you only give him the title of acting captain? I think you can skip the word "acting" for now. After the case is over, we'll reward him based on his merits."

Xu Qingyun's acting title in the Military Intelligence Department was gone just like that.

It took him a month to get a full-time job in the police station, and it was even faster in military intelligence, taking only three days. Few people can achieve this speed.

"Thank you, Stationmaster Wu, for your cultivation."

Xu Zhanjie thanked him with a smile. This old fox was taking advantage of the situation. When he arranged for Xu Qingyun to be the captain of Tianjin Station, Wu Shaoshu was not so happy at first.

He was the captain as soon as he came in. It was an arrangement he made under pressure. After all, Tianjin Station was not his territory, and a newcomer starting at such a high level would easily attract gossip.

Now he wants to see who dares to object.

They are a military department, everything is based on performance, and promotion is based on merit. Who can compare with Xu Qingyun's achievements?
"I didn't cultivate him much. He is excellent on his own. Chief Xu, please give him more guidance. The director asked us to defeat the Special High Section group. We can't be careless and must make achievements."

Wu Shaoshu's words were equivalent to completely giving up the initiative of the case and handing it over to Xu Zhanjie.

Anyway, as long as there are results, he will benefit from it and his share of the credit will be indispensable. Now that he is being watched by the director, he has to do even better.

"Don't worry, I believe in Qingyun."

Xu Zhanjie understood what he meant and replied with a smile that as long as the case could be concluded perfectly in the end, Xu Qingyun would have completely established his foothold in Tianjin Station, and he could return to Nanjing with peace of mind after giving Xu Qingyun special training.

In the concession, Xie Yongshan spent a whole morning and finally found a suitable surveillance point.

This is a two-story building. Standing on the second floor, you can see the condition of the sewer with a telescope. The phone was specially moved to the second floor by them.

They also booked several rooms in a hotel near the teahouse, and the operatives were waiting inside, ready to take action immediately once they received a call.

At the same time, Xu Qingyun deployed four secret sentries inside and outside the teahouse to take turns to monitor.

They couldn't be too close and had to be natural to avoid being discovered by Japanese spies who came to collect intelligence.

It was not suitable for open arrests within the concession, so Xu Qingyun asked Jie Yongshan to prepare three rickshaws, one bicycle for each person, and two cars. After the target appeared, they would track and monitor it first, just like before, and try to make sure he was awake.

Don't be afraid of getting lost. Xu Qingyun is an expert on footprints and is best at tracking based on footprints.

Find him and arrest him secretly.

The big net has been spread, waiting quietly for the fish to enter.

Xie Yongshan was more confident than Xu Qingyun. Although they had only about twenty people, the other side also had a small number of people. Normally there was only one person, so so many of them were enough to deal with one person.

The teahouse does good business and is very lively during the day, with storytelling and crosstalk performances.

Xu Qingyun personally followed and monitored, and listened to it once during the shift change. What the older generation of artists said was indeed very good and he enjoyed it very much.

There is an alley behind the teahouse, which is located downstream of the sewer. In the evening, a man was pushing a cart slowly.

He picked up the garbage on the ground from time to time and threw it into the cart.

When passing by the sewer entrance, the man sat on the ground, opened his cup, and drank water in big gulps.

With his other hand, he deftly reached down and easily opened the manhole cover.
