The Spy

Chapter 392 Assassination
Fu Wenzheng and Yan Ming did the investigation together.

The people in the detective brigade are very arrogant, and it is very easy to investigate them. However, Li Zhiqun, who was specially instructed by the district chief, seems to be more low-key.

"They're checking the files at the police station?"

Yan Ming quickly figured out what these people were doing and frowned. There was no problem with the files of the undercover personnel in the Shanghai area, but it was not easy to find the people by checking the files.

But Li Zhiqun did guess one thing right: there were undercover personnel from the Shanghai area lurking in the Japanese-occupied area.

There are several people from the Intelligence Department here.

"That's right. It's not clear what they found out yet. Li Zhiqun is very mysterious. He only brought people from the detective brigade and didn't let the police get involved."

The subordinate nodded, thought for a moment, and Yan Ming replied: "Whether they find out or not, as long as we figure out their travel patterns, Section Chief Fu can take action at any time."

The mission this time is to impose sanctions. Since they come to the police station every day, we can just take action on them on their way.

Certainly not inside a police station.

Even if they have spies, there are so many people in the police station and they have guns, and taking action inside the police station would only make things more difficult for themselves.

Find out the travel rules and it’s most suitable on the road.

"Yes."

The men took the order and left, while Yan Ming went to find Fu Wenzhen to discuss a plan of action.

This mission belongs to the Operations Department, with the cooperation of the Intelligence Department. Yan Ming will not interfere in the mission. He will listen more to Fu Wenzhen's suggestions on the mission.

For several consecutive days, Li Zhiqun was checking the files.

He had a hunch that the Military Control Commission members were among these civilians. As long as he was careful and looked slowly, he would be able to find them.

He not only wants clues, but also wants to catch the person.

Such a great achievement allowed the Japanese to see his ability.

Only in this way can he successfully kick Cao Xiangwen out and become the captain himself.

"It's them, get ready to act."

Two days later, Li Zhiqun led his men from the Detective Brigade and continued to the police station to look for clues.

He was valued by Cao Xiangwen and was able to use the car. There were five people in the car and he sat in the back seat.

All five people are Fu Wenzhen’s targets.

"Do it."

Noticing the car approaching, Fu Wenzhen gave a decisive order and picked up the gun in his hand.

This time he personally led the team, and their target was Li Zhiqun and his four companions. He had to ensure that Li Zhiqun could be killed. This was a death order given to him by the district chief.

A rickshaw suddenly appeared and the driver abandoned the rickshaw and left quickly.

The car that was coming over braked suddenly, but unfortunately it still crashed into the rickshaw.

All the people in the car were shaken.

"Go, don't stop, rush over."

Li Zhiqun was shocked and shouted immediately. The appearance of this rickshaw was too strange, which made him realize that something was wrong.

The driver was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

"Bang bang bang."

When the gunshots rang out, Li Zhiqun squatted down instantly. It turned out that they were coming towards them. Could it be that he had already found out the people from the Shanghai district, forcing the Military Control Commission to take action against him?

This possibility is not impossible.

But someone must have tipped off the Military Control Commission, most likely someone inside the police station. If I can escape this time, I must catch this person in the police station.

Fu Wenzhen brought ten people with him, all of them were experts.

They are all excellent marksmen.

There were long guns and short guns. After several rounds of shooting, the driver of the car was killed and the car lost control and crashed into the car.

Li Zhiqun looked up and found that everyone on both sides was dead, including the front seat. He was the only living person in the entire car.

"Grenade."

Fu Wenzhen didn't care whether there were any living people in the car. Time was pressing and they had to evacuate as soon as possible. There was no time to check and reload, so he simply threw grenades into the car.

Several grenades were thrown inside.

Li Zhiqun was using the bodies of his companions to press down on himself. He knew that if he ran out on his own initiative, he would be like a target and would be shot into a sieve immediately. His only hope now was that the Japanese patrol soldiers would hear the gunshots and come over, so that he would still have a chance of survival.

But he didn't expect the Military Control Commission to be so cruel and directly blow up the car.

"boom."

Several grenades exploded at the same time, and the car was blown up. When Fu Wenzhen saw the car being blown up, he immediately led his men to evacuate.

The whole process took less than a minute and was clean and neat, completely in line with the Military Control Commission's style.

"What, our people were attacked?"

"Several places at the same time?"

When Cao Xiangwen received a call in the office, he immediately had a bad feeling and hurriedly ran out with his people.

The first place he went to was the place where Li Zhiqun was attacked.

Li Zhiqun wants to find the hidden Military Control Commission agents through the police station files. The progress is good and the scope has been greatly narrowed. He cannot afford to get into trouble at this time.

"Four dead and one injured. Has the injured been sent to the hospital?"

Cao Xiangwen arrived at the scene quickly. The four bodies were covered with white cloth, which he quickly lifted to take a look.

They were all people who investigated the case with Li Zhiqun, but fortunately Li Zhiqun was not there.

Li Zhiqun was bombed in his car, but at the critical moment he used the bodies of his companions to block it and narrowly escaped death.

"Go to the hospital, quickly."

Cao Xiangwen rushed to the hospital without stopping, and when he arrived at the hospital he received very bad news.

Li Zhiqun is indeed not dead, but he is almost dead. He is just hanging on to his last breath and is in a deep coma.

There were multiple serious injuries on his body.

The chance of recovery is only ten percent at most.

"Damn it, the Military Control Commission, they must be someone from the Military Control Commission."

Cao Xiangwen cursed angrily, "The damn Military Control Commission finally took action against them." It was even possible that Li Zhiqun had found out something, or that his method was correct, which led to the revenge of the Military Control Commission.

He doesn't care whether Li Zhiqun lives or dies. The key point is that Li Zhiqun has not given him the results yet.

If he died, what would he say to Kamei?
"Captain, our people were attacked by the Military Control Commission. It is said that they beat ten of us, nine of them died, and one was seriously injured and is being treated in the hospital."

In Xu Xiaoer's office, Xiao Fan came to report. It was impossible for them not to have heard of such a big thing. After knowing the situation, Xiao Fan immediately came to see Xu Xiaoer.

There was still fear on his face.

Although they are not investigating cases, they are still members of the Detective Brigade. This time they are taking revenge on others. Will the Military Control Commission target them next time?
Being targeted by the Military Control Commission was almost a death sentence.

Just look at the results of these ten people: nine died and one was seriously injured, and it is unknown whether they can be rescued.

"Who is so lucky that he didn't die?"

Xu Xiaoer asked in surprise, and Xiao Fan immediately replied: "It seems that it was the newcomer named Li Zhiqun. He was trapped in the car and was blown up by a grenade. It is said that he was in a terrible state, but he is indeed not dead yet. I don't know how long he can hold on."

"We are all brothers. Go buy some things and we will go to the hospital."

Xu Xiaoer shook his head slightly. He did not expect the Military Control Commission to take action suddenly, and he did not know that this was an order from Xu Qingyun. However, he had to report such a big matter to let the district know that there was still one person alive.

Arriving at the hospital, Xu Xiaoer quickly felt relieved.

Li Zhiqun was indeed lucky and was eventually rescued by doctors, but the doctor said that he had suffered severe brain damage and might not wake up.

Commonly known as a vegetative state.

A person who cannot wake up will no longer be a threat to the Military Control Commission. Moreover, even if he wakes up, he will be a cripple, and it will be easier to kill him next time.

In the Shanghai district, Fu Wenzhen lowered his head and stood in front of Xu Qingyun.

"District Chief, I failed to do a good job and missed one."

Fu Wenzhen was very depressed. They had blown the car up into such a state, but he didn't expect that Li Zhiqun was not dead.

Although he was seriously injured and the doctor said he would basically become a vegetable, he was not dead. The district chief had specifically instructed this, but he was the only one who was not killed.

From this point of view alone, his mission was a failure.

"This kid is really unlucky, but you did a good job."

Xu Qingyun shook his head slightly, and Fu Wenzheng immediately replied: "District Chief, I will find a chance to sneak into the hospital and get rid of him completely."

"Not now." Xu Qingyun shook his head again. They had just carried out an assassination, so the Japanese would be watching very closely, especially inside the hospital.

It's too risky to act now.

Although Li Zhiqun did not die, Xu Xiaoer went to see him in person and reported his miserable condition. Not only was he disabled, but there was a 90% chance that he would not wake up.

You might even become a fool when you wake up.

This kind of injury is almost indistinguishable from death.

Keep him for now and see how the situation develops later. If he really wakes up and is fine, we can target him later.

Anyway, Xu Qingyun would never keep such a trouble forever.

"Yes."

Fu Wenzhen nodded his head and accepted the order. The district chief did not blame him, but he felt unhappy.

Especially since he personally led the team to kill Li Zhiqun, but he actually let the other party survive. This will be a shame for Fu Wenzhen himself.

After Fu Wenzhen left, Xu Qingyun stood up and looked out the window.

Li Zhiqun will not pose a threat for the time being, and we will talk about the future later. However, Li Zhiqun is indeed smart. Through his reports, Xu Qingyun has already guessed what he is doing.

Li Zhiqun did not find their people, but if he was given time and conducted a detailed investigation, he might be able to find clues about the people in the Shanghai district.

This loophole needs to be closed.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qingyun called Yan Ming into the office, and all the intelligence team members hiding in the Japanese-occupied area were evacuated.

They have already instigated quite a few Japanese to defect, and now control more than a dozen people in the Shanghai district, helping them to get promoted and transfer to better positions.

These people are enough to replace those team members and help them collect useful intelligence.

They first retreated to the concession and did not give the Japanese any chance.

Xu Qingyun's arrangement was correct. Although Cao Xiangwen was not a professional agent, he knew how to ask questions.

After understanding Li Zhiqun's direction of investigation, he personally led people to the police station to review archival materials and continued the investigation using Li Zhiqun's methods.

Time passed slowly, and on the 25th day of the deadline, Cao Xiangwen finally found the suspect.

Unfortunately, this person has left long ago and no one knows where he went.

"Captain Takeda, he must be a member of the Military Control Commission. Unfortunately, we were a step too late and he escaped."

Cao Xiangwen came to report to Takeda that half a month had passed since Li Zhiqun was attacked and he has been lying in the hospital and has not woken up yet.

Li Zhiqun is not an important person and he doesn't have much money.

It is very likely that they will be abandoned by the detective brigade and the Japanese in the future.

In his current condition, if he is abandoned, he will not be able to survive for three days and will be finished soon.

"Are you sure he is from the Military Control Commission?"

"He must be. I checked his details. He came to Shanghai after the war, but the file was falsified."

Cao Xiangwen immediately replied that it had to be yes or no, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Kamei.

Although we failed to catch the person, we found him, which meant we had found clues about the Shanghai area and completed the deadline mission.

"I understand, you go back first."

Takeda waved his hand, Cao Xiangwen bowed deeply, and carefully retreated to the door.

This matter needs to be reported to Kamei and also told to the Chinese.

If he is really a member of the Military Control Commission, this is a valuable piece of information and he can get a lot of monetary rewards.

"District Chief, that was a close call."

Yan Ming came to Xu Qingyun's office. The person Cao Xiangwen found was indeed their person.

And it belongs to the Intelligence Department.

Fortunately, Xu Qingyun had patched the situation in advance, and since there was a risk of exposure, he withdrew them in advance.

Otherwise there will inevitably be losses this time.

"They had a smart guy, luckily we killed him."

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. He was very clear about Li Zhiqun's situation. At this time, Li Zhiqun's medical expenses were all paid by Xu Xiaoer. As long as Xu Xiaoer cut off his money, Li Zhiqun would die.

This hidden danger has been eliminated temporarily.

Regardless of whether Li Zhiqun is the person Xu Qingyun knows, as long as there is a smart person among the enemies, he must be killed as soon as possible.

This is especially the easiest time when they haven't gotten up yet.

Time passed slowly, it was October, and the weather turned cold again.

Finally, good news came from the Guo army battlefield. General Xue won a great victory at Wanjialing.

Japan's 106th Division was basically destroyed by him.

Destroying an organized Japanese division was a great boost to the morale of the Guo army, and it was a heavy blow to the Japanese. They had few troops to begin with, and if it came to a war of attrition, they would be no match for the Chinese.

Not to mention one for one, they couldn't even handle one Japanese soldier for five Chinese soldiers, and they would definitely be the ones who failed in the end.

"Give everyone an extra five dollars so they can have a good meal."

When the news reached Xu Qingyun, he was very happy and directly gave more money to the people in the Shanghai area.

There are a lot of people in the Shanghai area, so each person will be given an extra five yuan, which is almost several thousand yuan.

"Yes."

Zhao San accepted the order with a smile. Recently, a lot of people have been added to the Shanghai area.

The training school's training for the operations department has been completed, and these people have arrived in Shanghai one after another.

In the future, the Operations Section will have 300 people, truly the largest section.

The number of people in the Intelligence Section will also increase, eventually reaching around a hundred.

Xu Qingyun had already selected these people in advance and they were undergoing final training. Their training was targeted and suitable for them to stay undercover in Shanghai.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that a student had already arrived in Shanghai in advance and was doing very well.

Xu Xiaoer was promoted to deputy captain.

The reason was that the scale of his business expanded again, and a few months earlier than expected, it reached a monthly income of over ten thousand oceans, which was pure profit.

Kamei was so happy that he directly assigned him the position of deputy captain.

In fact, this promotion means little to Xu Xiaoer, as no one in the detective brigade can control him. However, after the promotion, he can legitimately command the other two captains.

They dare not not listen.

There is no need to move the Japanese, Xu Xiaoer can deal with them, Xu Xiaoer is their breadwinner.

Moreover, Xu Xiaoer's business has not reached its limit and is still expanding. However, he is cautious and does not expand so quickly to avoid offending people and causing trouble.
