The Spy

Chapter 395 I Can’t Give It to You

Huang Mazi was sent to the detective brigade.

The Japanese did not torture him, but they did not take care of him along the way. The food they ate was hard steamed buns that even dogs wouldn't be able to eat, and Huang Mazi simply couldn't eat such food.

It can be said that he was hungry, tired, thirsty and sleepy.

He begged many people and made many promises along the way, but unfortunately everyone knew what the result would be and no one believed him.

What about giving hundreds or thousands of dollars when I go back? That's just a dream.

All his money and belongings were confiscated by the Japanese. He had nothing left. What could he use to pay?
It was the detective team that brought him back and they knew his final outcome better.

Not only would they not get any benefit from being nice to him at this time, but if Captain Xu held a grudge against them, their good days would be over.

No one would do such a stupid thing.

"Captain, we've brought the person back."

Xiao Fan came back to report to Xu Xiaoer, who picked up the teacup, stood up and left.

In the interrogation room, Huang Mazi was hung there.

His mouth was blocked, but his eyes were full of fear. He already knew who he had offended.

How could he have imagined that behind the Chinese businessmen was Japan's Shanghai Special High Section, a secret service department.

Before the Japanese came, Huang Mazi knew how terrible the spies were. This time he really hit a wall. At this moment, Huang Mazi only had regret in his heart. If he was given another chance, he would never steal this batch of goods.

When he was robbing the things, someone did tell him that the goods actually belonged to Captain Xu of the Detective Brigade.

It was good enough that Huang Mazi knew about spies, but he had no idea what the detective brigade was. He thought it was similar to his security team. Since they were not from the same place, why should he be afraid?
He is not going to Shanghai anyway.

"Let him talk."

Xu Xiaoer sat behind the interrogation table, picked up the teacup in his hand, opened the lid, blew gently, and slowly took a sip of tea.

"Uncle, Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I will give you everything. Tell me what you want and I will find a way to give it to you. Please spare my life."

After being able to speak again, Huang Mazi immediately begged for mercy. A real man must be able to bend and stretch, and the most important thing is to stay alive.

He had known this for a long time. It was for this reason that he surrendered to the Japanese and got the position of security chief.

"what can you give me?"

Xu Xiaoer laughed. If Huang Mazi was in Shanghai, he might be of some use to him, but he was in Suzhou and was of no use to him.

As for his men, they are a pure mob. The local thugs in Shanghai are better than these people.

Keeping them is a sheer waste of food.

"I'm guarding Yanxia Town, which is a major transportation hub. I can make tens of thousands of dollars every year. I'll give you all the money when the time comes."

Seeing that there was a chance to survive, Huang Mazi immediately replied that Yanxia Town was indeed an important transportation route, and it was indeed profitable for him to guard there, earning tens of thousands every year.

But he had to feed hundreds of mouths, respect the Japanese, and find ways to buy weapons and equipment, so he didn't get much every year.

These were pure empty words. He was afraid that if he said less, the other party would not let him go, so he could only say more.

"I'm not short of money. I have such a big business, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. Why would I care about your little money?"

Xu Xiaoer laughed. He knew Huang Mazi was bragging. Who doesn't know how to brag?

At present, he does earn a lot of money. If he is doing well, he can make about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and if he is not, he can make more than 10,000 yuan. It is still a long way from making hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Huang Mazi was stunned. He didn't expect the other party's business was so big.

However, thinking that there were Japanese behind the other party and that this time it was Japanese soldiers who directly arrested him, Huang Mazi believed it.

"Master, I can be your dog. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I only ask you to spare my life."

There was no way out, Huang Mazi continued to beg for mercy. Xu Xiaoer looked at the people around him and nodded to them.

"Call me."

If anyone dares to steal their goods, this loophole must not be opened. Huang Mazi is dead. Xu Xiaoer came here just to tease him.

Watching Huang Mazi being tortured, Xu Xiaoer's eyes felt a little cold. He did it on purpose.

He knew the pain of punishment. Once his identity was exposed, such pain would fall on him, so he had to remind himself all the time to be extra careful when working behind enemy lines.

We must not be caught by the Japanese.

If I were to be exposed, I would die first.

He had prepared the poison in advance. Once exposed, he would eat it without hesitation. And Bai Xu, when the time comes, they must work together to prevent Bai Xu from falling into the hands of the Japanese.

Being caught by the Japanese would be a fate worse than death. Bai Xu is a woman, a beautiful woman, and her fate would be even more miserable.

Xu Xiaoer watched the whole thing from beginning to end. Huang Mazi kept begging for mercy. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing again.

He curses people because he wants to die.

Even a spineless person like Huang Mazi could end up like this, which shows how terrible the punishment was.

In the Shanghai area, Yan Ming hurried to Xu Qingyun's office.

“District Mayor, Wuhan is lost.”

Yanming's voice is low. Wuhan is very important. It is not only a waterway and transportation hub with important strategic significance, but also the heart of China.

Once Wuhan was lost, it can be said that the Kuomintang lost half of its territory.

"Where is the chairman?" Xu Qingyun asked softly.

"The chairman finally left. It is said that when he was leaving, his plane suddenly had problems, so he risked coming back to refuel. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to finally leave successfully."

The old man insisted on his own way and refused to leave Wuhan, which made many people worried.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened in the end. If he had died, there would have been chaos within the Guo army, and none of the warlords would have submitted to each other.

With him around, at least in name it is still a government, fighting together against foreign enemies.

"I see."

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. The fall of Wuhan was within his expectations. It was time for Zhao San to complete his mission and return.

He was not so worried about Zhao San's safety. This guy was as slippery as a loach and the Japanese couldn't catch him.

Xu Qingyun's guess was correct. At this time, Zhao San had already left Wuhan and came to Changsha. Changsha also had to make arrangements, but not as many as Wuhan.

He is not from Changsha and is not that familiar with the place.

Afterwards, he will go to the training class from Changsha to assess the players selected previously. Suitable ones will be brought to Shanghai to arrange new jobs for them.

He is not a big shot, and the Japanese don't pay much attention to him.

The whole country was in grief after the fall of Wuhan.

All the people in the Wuhan Provisional Government moved to Chongqing, and housing prices in Chongqing once again reached a new high.

The Xu family has been dealing with their real estate, and the name Xu Bancheng has completely disappeared.

This deal made Xu Qingyun a fortune, but only Xu Jiaming, who was in actual control, knew how much money he actually made.

Even Ma Xiangshun, who went to purchase the goods, didn't know how much the goods were sold for in the end.

Anyway, the minimum appreciation of all houses is more than ten times.

The high points are dozens of times, and there are even a few shops where the price has increased by a hundred times.

Ma Xiangshun originally did not understand Chongqing's investment, but now he is convinced. Their young master has never missed a single thing. At the Chongqing Police Station, Xu Qingshi is looking through the documents.

The Guo Party has already retreated to Chongqing, but his position as director is as stable as a rock. He is Xu Qingyun's cousin, so the Military Control Commission naturally supports him wholeheartedly.

The current Military Intelligence Bureau is no longer the previous Military Intelligence Bureau.

The power and status are much higher than before.

In order to gain power, the old man deployed people from the Military Control Commission in many places to help him monitor the generals who led the troops.

In name, it was to prevent anyone from surrendering to the enemy, but in reality it was to monitor them so that no one would oppose the old man himself.

The old man will never allow what happened in Xi'an to happen again.

Boss Dai is now in high spirits and trying to prove himself everywhere. Any blind person who targets Xu Qingshi is equivalent to targeting the Military Control Commission.

Especially since Xu Qingyun has such strong connections in the military and he showed his strength some time ago, no one would touch Xu Qingshi now unless they are fools.

Xu Qingshi, the director of the General Administration, is a king in the eyes of ordinary people, but to the real top leaders, he is just a security captain of a certain rank.

They are not that interested in this position.

"Director, Boss Wang is here and wants to see you."

The secretary walked in from outside. Wang’s wife is a big boss who has recently risen in Chongqing. It is said that she has someone behind her.

The business he was involved in was very messy and diverse, including opium, casinos, etc.

The Democratic Party bans smoking, but it is impossible to ban it completely. Where there is demand, there will be a market.

There are many people who smoke opium among the people.

Even Xu Qingshi couldn't close all the opium dens in Chongqing. These opium dens also affected the income of many police officers. If Xu Qingshi gave an order by force, no one would really follow his orders and might even unite against him.

If he really angered the public, even with the Military Control Commission around, Xu Qingshi would not be able to continue working as the director.

It's very simple. There is no one in the entire police station who obeys his orders. At that time, he will be alone and can do nothing.

"Why are you here again? No see."

Xu Qingshi frowned. Boss Wang's cargo had an accident at the dock and a large amount of opium was exposed. Many people saw it at the scene.

All the opium was taken back to the police station by Xu Qingshi and sealed.

The matter has become a big deal, and Xu Qingshi plans to find time to destroy all of this batch of opium to prevent it from harming anyone.

Xu Qingshi understood that he couldn't destroy all the opium, but he would never let go of any he saw.

"He asked me to bring this for you."

The secretary carefully took out something, which was a bearer certificate of deposit from Citibank. With this certificate, one could withdraw money at several Citibank branches.

"Twenty thousand dollars. How generous."

Seeing the amount above, Xu Qingshi sneered. Twenty thousand US dollars is equivalent to almost fifty thousand oceans, and it would be even more if converted into legal currency.

Boss Wang is indeed generous, mainly because this batch of goods is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and he must take it back.

The opium does not belong to Boss Wang. If he is blamed by the people behind him, his days will be over.

This amount of money is equivalent to the money that buys his life.

"How much benefit did it give you?"

Xu Qingshi looked at the secretary, who was startled and quickly replied, "Director, he wanted to give it to me, but I didn't dare to accept it. The main reason was that he found an uncle in my hometown. My uncle was kind to me when I was a child, and I really couldn't refuse to give him this favor."

The secretary's family was poor when he was a child. His uncle was within the same degree of kinship with him, and seeing that he was smart when he was young, his uncle helped him a lot.

In fact, many landlords and gentry do this now, including the Xu family.

The Xu family has always been generous and supportive to those members of the Xu family or tenants who are smart, studious and can achieve good results.

Xu Erxi is the best example. He grew up in a poor family and would not be where he is today without the help of the Xu family.

"I see. Please let him come over."

Xu Qingshi's expression eased a lot. If the secretary took the money, he would have done his job to the limit and would definitely be replaced by Xu Qingshi in the future.

Due to family ties, he could not refuse. Xu Qingshi understood and accepted this reason.

"Thank you, thank you, Chief."

The secretary thanked him hastily and went out to bring in a man in his fifties.

"Director Xu, please spare my life."

When Boss Wang came in, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, then knelt on the ground before he finished speaking.

"Get up, Boss Wang, there's no need to do this."

Xu Qingshi walked over and pulled him up. Director Wang continued to clasp his fists, almost crying: "Director Xu, I know this incident is a big deal. I have already made arrangements with the newspaper. I will publish an announcement stating that this is a misunderstanding. I will also make arrangements for all witnesses. I only ask you to return this batch of goods to me. I will definitely thank you for saving my life in the future."

He has already given 20,000 U.S. dollars, and also said he would thank him later. It seems that Mr. Wang is under a lot of pressure.

There were many people at the dock, and Boss Wang's goods were scattered all over the dock because of a dispute between two groups of coolies.

It was all opium, and the people at the dock could see it clearly.

There were a lot of people watching, including people from the newspaper office, and the incident was reported in the newspaper the next day.

The goods were taken away by the police station. The matter became so serious that several people came to plead for mercy, but Xu Qingshi never agreed to give the goods to them.

There was no way he would agree to this.

"Boss Wang has arranged it very well, but unfortunately, the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation have already known about this matter. I can't give it to you. If you want the goods, you have to get through their connections first, especially the Military Bureau of Investigation."

Xu Qingshi shook his head and said that the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation not only knew about it, but also knew how much goods he had stored.

There was so much opium, and Xu Qingshi knew that there was someone with great power behind it, so it would not be easy to destroy it.

There are too many big shots above him, and he can't handle any one of them.

However, he knew that his younger brother Xu Qingyun also didn't like opium. It was not part of their Xu family's business, and no one was allowed to smoke opium.

Any member of the Xu family or employee found smoking opium will be fired immediately.

Xu Qingyun gave him an idea, asking him to pass the news secretly, and it would be best if Xu Laogui from the Central Bureau of Investigation knew the exact number.

Then wait for the Central Bureau of Investigation to ask questions.

No matter who it is, as long as they are related to the Central Bureau of Investigation, report them to Boss Dai of the Military Bureau of Investigation immediately.

Boss Dai and Old Ghost Xu are like water and fire. As long as Old Ghost Xu wants something, Boss Dai will definitely make trouble.

Similarly, if Boss Dai wants something, Old Ghost Xu will also interfere.

Take advantage of their conflicts to destroy this batch of opium.

The method is a bit troublesome, but as long as the two spy departments start fighting, other people will not intervene, which is equivalent to reducing a lot of trouble.

For Xu Qingshi, there is another point, which can increase the contradiction between the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation.

Simply kill two birds with one stone.

Xu Qingshi was very happy that his younger brother could give him such advice, which showed that his younger brother cared about the major issues of right and wrong and was not simply loyal to their boss Dai.
