The Spy

Chapter 52 City-wide manhunt
"You guys eat first."

Xu Qingyun walked to the table next to him, picked up the phone and called the police station. This was a new phone line they had installed for easy communication.

"elder brother……"

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Qingshi said anxiously: "Qingyun, do you have time to come over?"

"I am going now."

Xu Qingyun is busy with a case, which is a confidential case. No one who is not involved can tell about it, including his brother.

But since his brother spoke so urgently, there must be something important. There is nothing to do here for the time being. Wu Dasha's nephew has not shown up. Yan Ming tried to inquire about the situation of Wu Dasha's nephew through other scavengers, but to no avail.

Xu Qingyun drove to the police station and Xu Qingshi was in the office.

"Brother, what happened?"

When Xu Qingyun came in, he noticed that there were many people coming and going in the police station, and it seemed that something serious was going on.

"We received a call this morning. A family of five was brutally murdered at home. Take a look at these photos first."

Xu Qingshi took out a thick stack of developed photos. Xu Qingyun flipped through them one by one. Soon his expression became solemn and his eyes turned cold.

The photo in front is the murder scene.

A family of five was killed, the worst hit being two women, one of whom had a petite face and looked young.

Not only did he harm people, he also killed them. No wonder my brother was so angry. Anyone who saw this scene would be unable to remain indifferent.

Soon he saw the shoe print part.

The photos were very clear, covering every angle. He understood that his brother had specially asked someone to take such clear photos because he was asked to come here just to see these.

At this time he already understood his mission.

Turning to the next photo, Xu Qingyun's expression suddenly froze. He took out the photo and looked through it carefully.

After looking at this one, he quickly searched through the photos and soon took out four more photos.

These five photos have one thing in common: there are shoe prints of one person on them.

"Brother, I'm going back to the squadron first and will come over later."

After Xu Qingyun finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for a response. Xu Qingshi was stunned. After seeing the photo, why did Xu Qingyun return to their squadron?
Soon his eyes lit up. Xu Qingyun had discovered something in the photo. Was there a clue in their squadron?

Xu Qingshi guessed correctly. One of the shoe print photos made Xu Qingyun notice something unusual. It was the first time he saw this shoe print, but it gave him a sense of familiarity.

After arresting Ishiguro Masao and his men, there was a fish that escaped the Manchurian Railway in Tianjin, Kuramoto Kazuki.

We failed to capture Kazuichi Kuramoto last time, but we seized some of his belongings. Those things were previously kept at Hideyoshi Takamoto's home. Kuramoto was unable to take all his belongings away when he returned to the Northeast.

That includes his shoes.

Xu Qingyun wants to go back for comparison.

No matter what kind of shoes everyone wore, the footprints had the same characteristics. Xu Qingyun came to the squadron and quickly found the things that had been seized.

Fortunately, the case happened not long ago and he was promoted to deputy squadron leader, so no one dared to sell the seized items secretly.

Holding the shoes, Xu Qingyun compared them carefully with the photo.

It wasn't long before he clenched his fists.

Cang Ben Yizhi came back. By comparing the shoes and the shoe prints, even if they were not the same pair of shoes, Xu Qingyun could still conclude that they were left by him.

There were a lot of footprints at the scene, some were from them, and some were from the victims, but as long as they left footprints, they would not be allowed to escape this time. "Brother, it was Kuramoto Kazuchi, the one who escaped among the three intelligence officers of the Mantetsu. There were more than ten footprints at the scene, and judging from the photos, they should be five people, and the remaining five shoe prints were left by the victim and others."

Returning to Xu Qingshi, Xu Qingyun immediately took out the photos and shoes and told him his discovery.

The shoe prints in the photo are easy to identify, with bloodstains, and it is very clear that they were left by the five gangsters. There are not only shoe prints, but also cigarette butts, and even their body fluids and hair.

Once they are caught, Xu Qingyun will ask Zheng Jiming to take off their lower bodies as punishment first.

"Kuramoto Kazuchi? Was the case committed by the Japanese?"

Xu Qingshi's expression suddenly became serious. He thought it was a bandit or a cruel and brutal gangster from somewhere, but he didn't expect it to be a Japanese.

"Yes, he came here at this time, and I roughly knew what they wanted to do."

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. The Manchurian Railway suddenly sent people, not just Kuramoto, but four more. When they arrived in Tianjin, they brutally killed a family. These people were definitely not lurking again to collect intelligence.

It is impossible for a hidden person to do such a thing.

If it's not for intelligence, then there is only one answer left.

The fake case report he fabricated worked. The other party sent people to seek revenge on him. They were operatives, or killers, very brutal Japanese.

"Qingyun, you are in danger now."

Xu Qingshi's face suddenly changed. He guessed what his brother was thinking.

In order to protect my brother, many details of the case were not made public. I didn’t expect the Japanese to come so quickly.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. Potential danger is the real danger. Since we know they are coming, there is nothing to be afraid of?"

"There are five of them in total, and their physical characteristics are..."

Xu Qingyun picked up the pen and paper on the desk and wrote as he spoke. The five people were not all strangers. Kuramoto Kazuchi had lived here for several years hiding his identity, but unfortunately there was no photo of him.

Don't worry if there is no photo. Many people have seen Kuramoto. Call more of them over and watch them secretly. Now that we know their purpose, it will not be difficult to find him.

Since he came for revenge, Kuramoto would definitely go and inquire about him.

Xu Qingyun has already deduced the height, body shape and other information of the other four people. He estimates that they will not separate. They are together and are outsiders who have just arrived in Tianjin. With so many clues, if they still can't find them, the Tianjin Police Department can be said to be useless.

"Come here, notify everyone and prepare to search the whole city."

Xu Qingshi was very decisive. He immediately gave the order that the whole search needed the director's consent. He was not worried about the director. Wang Jiansheng hated evil and the Japanese had committed such a crime that angered the people, so he could not refuse.

There were more than 600 people in the first team, and Xu Qingshi vowed to catch these Japanese.

The policemen immediately became busy, all squadron leaders led their teams and rushed to the meeting place with weapons in hand. The restaurant owner Yang noticed the commotion outside and couldn't help shaking his head.

It is indeed a big case.

Such a big commotion could not be hidden from Akiyama Yukihei. Kuramoto went to inquire about the information and found the policeman named Xu Qingyun.

Seeing the police walking by on the street, Akiyama Yukihei sneered.

It is impossible for these policemen to find him. When Kuramoto brings back the news, he only needs one bullet to kill the damn policeman. Then they will leave Tianjin and make these policemen run around in circles.

At this moment, he was not aware that several pairs of eyes had noticed him. The ones who noticed them were two squads from Xu Qingyun's squadron.

The four men's height and build were exactly the same as what their deputy squadron leader had described, and they were strangers. The two squad leaders reported them immediately, and the police found them just half an hour after the search began.
