The Spy

Chapter 51 The tragedy of annihilation
Wu Shaoshu glanced inside the room and took the initiative to say:
"Your old police officers are great. We can't let them down. We'll pay them one dollar a day for their hard work, and their food and lodging will be covered by our station."

"Thank you, Station Master."

Xu Qingyun thanked him again. He had originally wanted to give some benefits to his men in the police station, but Wu Shaoshu took the initiative to bring it up.

One dollar a day is not too much, but not too little either.

It's not much because it's dangerous. Catching Japanese spies is not an ordinary job. They are vicious and extremely dangerous. One dollar a day is not much.

It’s a lot, compared to their usual salary.

The average patrolman gets eight dollars a month plus allowances, but he actually doesn't get that much, and everyone knows why.

Police in Tianjin are better off than those in other places, as they can get at least 70% to 80% of the salary. In other local police stations, some only pay two or three yuan a month. If the police don't find a way to make some extra money, their whole family will starve to death with this little income.

It can only be said that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. The people above are severely deducted, so they are forced to exploit the people even more.

They are all birds of a feather.

"Let's go back first. You keep an eye on the case."

Xu Zhanjie took Wu Shaoshu away. They were unable to do anything with Xu Qingyun. Now that they had found the clue again, all they had to do next was wait for Xu Qingyun to solve the case.

"Teacher, Station Master, I'll take you there."

Xu Qingyun sent them to the car, returned to the surveillance point, and told everyone about Wu Shaoshu's promise.

"Thank you Captain."

Zuo Jinfang and others thanked him excitedly. One dollar a day, if it were a month, it would be a total of thirty dollars.

"This is your hard work fee. If you catch the person, I will help you apply for a reward."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said, if you want the horse to run, you must give it grass. They are his subordinates just like Yan Ming, so he can't let them work for nothing.

Give them more rewards to motivate them to work harder.

"Thank you, Captain. We are going to make a fortune this time."

Yi Sheng laughed loudly, and everyone's eyes sparkled. Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head, and said again: "Let me be frank. If you make a mistake, not only will you not get the reward, but I will not forgive you."

Several of them had captured Japanese spies before, so to prevent them from becoming arrogant, Xu Qingyun gave them a warning first to prevent them from dying.

In addition to them, there are also people from the action team who will come to monitor Wu Dasha this time.

Xie Yongshan sent eight of his men to set up surveillance points at close range. All surveillance points had to be concealed. They did not need to stare at people, but only needed to detect the presence of people. Even if Xu Qingyun could not be notified in time, they could still take photos of the footprints.

With the photo, Xu Qingyun could confirm whether he was the person he was looking for.

For two consecutive days, there was no movement from Wu Dasha. Every day he went out alone, picked up things to sell, and relied on this meager income to support his family.

In a private house somewhere, Xu Qingshi's face looked very ugly at this moment.

A serious murder occurred in the jurisdiction. A family of five surnamed Liu in the suburbs were all killed last night. Regardless of the era, family homicides are considered serious crimes.

The murderer was extremely cruel. He killed people with a knife. The worst thing was that all the women in the family were insulted.

The scene was horrible. Xu Qingshi asked people to collect clues and sort out everything, especially the footprints, which had to be photographed.

My younger brother Xu Qingyun went to the Military Intelligence Department, but he still holds the position in the police station. Such a cruel murderer must not be let off. These shoe prints may not be of much use to them, but with my younger brother's divine eyes, they may very well become the key to solving the case.

He didn't know when his brother learned to read footprints, but he was smart since he was little and liked to study strange things, including various prints. He could judge so much information from footprints, which Xu Qingshi attributed to his talent. As for other things, he never thought about it at all.

In a restaurant three kilometers away from Xu Qingshi, Akiyama Yukihira was having dinner with four people. In addition to his three men, there was also the intelligence team agent Kuramoto Kazuchi who accompanied them to Tianjin.

After receiving the order, he immediately selected his trusted men and brought them to Tianjin with weapons. Just after arriving last night, a team member was in a hurry to pee and randomly found a door to urinate. He was discovered by the owner of the house and scolded them.

The owner of the house didn't expect that the consequences of his words were just a simple accusation without any swear words, but it actually brought disaster to his entire family.

The Japanese who were scolded killed him with a knife on the spot. Akiyama Yukihei decided to go all the way and went straight into their house and killed everyone.

As a result, they discovered that there were two women inside.

The result is predictable. Not only were the two women killed, but they also suffered the most painful torture before their death.

After killing someone, they did not leave, but actually stayed in this family's house. They left before dawn in the morning, found a hotel far away, checked in, and then went out to eat.

The door was not closed when they left.

Someone noticed the bloodstains on the ground, and when he went in and saw the tragic scene, he screamed in fear. Others hurried to report to the police. A family massacre was no small matter, and the case was reported one level at a time, finally alerting the team leader Xu Qingshi, who personally came to the scene to supervise the solving of the case.

"Kuramoto, after dinner, go to the police station to find out the situation. Find the target, kill him and we'll leave."

After eating, Akiyama said with a smile, a lewd smile on his face.

His three direct subordinates laughed knowingly. After completing the mission, they would be free. On the way back, they could find some ordinary Chinese people and kill them for fun.

"Okay, I'll go there in a minute."

Cang Ben felt bitter. They came here to carry out a mission and never expected these people to be so crazy.

As soon as he arrived, he killed an entire family.

He is an agent of the intelligence group and has been in Tianjin for many years. He is familiar with the situation here. Not all Tianjin police are useless.

Besides, he knew his team leader and was usually very careful, but he was caught this time. Those policemen were more powerful than they imagined.

The worst thing was that he was asked to go to the police station to inquire about the situation.

The team leader was arrested and had already given himself away. Wouldn't it be a trap for him to go to the police station?
Cang Ben didn't dare to raise any objections. He could only calm these killers down first and report them to the director when he had the chance.

Xie Yongshan's inspection of the city's sewers has finally been completed.

Unfortunately, apart from the one in the British Concession, no other blocking grooves of this kind have been found.

This means that only Mina Takamoto uses the dead mailbox in the sewer, and other members of the Japanese spy team do not have this kind of dead mailbox.

Either this team leader only has two subordinates, Mina Takamoto and her man, or he is particularly careful and each team member uses a different dead mailbox.

Xu Qingyun tends to think the latter; this is definitely a very tough opponent.

"Captain, someone just called the station looking for you, saying it's your brother, asking if you have time."

At the surveillance point, Yan Ming came running with food. He came to deliver meals to the people at the surveillance point as it was not suitable to make a fire here. All the food was delivered quietly by him, including to everyone at the police station.

Yanming is smart and can quietly deliver food into the room to avoid exposing the existence of the surveillance point.
