The Spy

Chapter 55 Anomaly Found
Xu Qingyun's torture was indeed cruel, but it depended on who he was interrogating. Considering the heinous crimes committed by these Japanese, Xu Qingshi even felt that it was too light.

According to their confessions, all three had killed Chinese people, with the least number being as many as ten.

The Manchurian Railway trained its operatives with special practical courses that taught them to kill people.

During the interrogation just now, Xu Qingshi couldn't even hold back and took action himself. Not only him, but there were not many people who could hold back. They all took action and beat the three Japanese spies until they screamed in pain.

"Brother, you go back first, I will treat them well."

Xu Qingyun said with a smile. Xu Qingshi glanced at him, nodded slightly, and left with his men outside.

Nanjing, Military Intelligence Department.

Qi Wu came to the office with the telegram.

The director was feeling sulky at the moment because several branch stations were asking for money every day. When the headquarters asked them for results, they either said they were investigating or that the Japanese spies were cunning and there had been no results so far.

Virgo wants the Japanese radio code book the most, but he still hasn't got one.

"Director, call from Tianjin."

"Tianjin, have they made any new progress?"

The director immediately reached out, grabbed the telegram in his hand, and read it carefully from top to bottom.

The telegram was sent by Xu Zhanjie. He was stunned after reading it for a few seconds. There had indeed been progress in the case. They had locked onto the hidden identity of the Japanese spy team leader and they would be able to catch him as long as he showed up.

The key is not this case. Tianjin Station quietly arrested five more Japanese spies?

Although they were from the Mantetsu, they had been confirmed to be Japanese agents, and a deputy section chief had been arrested.

"good, very good."

The director said "good" twice in a row, and Qi Wu smiled without saying anything. When he received the telegram, he understood that this telegram would change the director's face from gloomy to bright.

"It's Xu Qingyun again. Zhan Jie has accepted a good student."

Noting that the case was solved by Xu Qingyun, it took him only half a day, or half an hour, to find the person, and the rest of the time was spent on catching him. This efficiency made him particularly happy.

"If you hadn't sent him to Tianjin, he wouldn't have had this good luck."

Qi Wu was the best at flattering people. With just one sentence, he turned Xu Zhanjie's contribution into Chu Zuo's command.

"Haha, as long as we can catch them, give them encouragement and tell them not to slack off and try to catch the team leader. He must have a radio, and we must get the code book."

The director laughed heartily, Qi Wu nodded slightly, and went out to call Tianjin back.

Tianjin really did a great job this time. The previous cases were completely under the jurisdiction of the police station, but this time it was a joint case.

Xu Qingyun was good. Together with the five previously captured and the two captured at Tianjin Station, he captured twelve Japanese spies by himself.

He is unmatched in the entire Military Intelligence Department and is absolutely a talent.

At Tianjin Station, Xu Zhanjie received a call back from the headquarters, praising them highly and agreeing to the additional funds he had requested on behalf of Stationmaster Wu.

Wu Shaoshu cried poor and said that the Tianjin station had been spending a lot of money to investigate traitors and Japanese spies during this period, and hoped that the headquarters would allocate more funds. The director was so happy that he approved it directly.

Xu Zhanjie knew the situation best. Tianjin Station had spent a lot, but it was nothing compared to the amount they wanted.

But he didn't lose anything either, as he helped to raise the money. Wu Shaoshu was not stupid and knew what to do. This time he came to Tianjin, he gained both people and money and reaped a lot of rewards.

Good news came from the hospital. Akiyama Yukihei was shot in the head but did not hit his vital parts, so he was saved.

Being rescued was not because of his good luck, but the beginning of his nightmare.

When he has almost recovered, Xu Qingyun will use the greatest "enthusiasm" to entertain this "friend" from afar.

In the French Concession, Toshiki Kawata returns home for a routine check-up.

The incident today was quite a big deal, and there were shots fired. With the reporters reporting, he had heard a lot of rumors. Because of confidentiality, the reporters did not know that the person arrested was a Japanese spy. They received the news that the murderer of the suburban massacre had been caught.

The police caught the culprit in just half a day and received a lot of praise in the newspapers.

Kawata Toshiki didn't think so.

He discovered something unusual from just a few words.

The people who were arrested were not local police but people in plain clothes.

There are rumors that the people being arrested shouted in Japanese when they were in trouble. When the hotel was arresting people, the guests staying next to Akiyama Yukihira were not cleared out, and someone did hear their shouting while they were fighting.

The captured Japanese spy shouted in Japanese in panic and impatience.

Xie Yongshan had told them to keep it a secret, but because they had caught the person at the time, he simply gave the order, and someone ended up telling the matter to others.

After hearing this, Kawata Toshiki immediately made inquiries from various sources.

They were indeed arrested because of a family massacre in which five members of the family were killed. This incident was a big deal and many people knew about it, so it couldn't be faked.

Toshiki Kawata went to the victim's home specifically to get the exact answer.

But no one knew where this group of murderers came from or what their background was. He did not go to the crime scene, but just by listening to others on the street, he almost understood the whole process.

The gangster broke into the victim's home at night, killed the entire family, and had dinner at home before leaving.

Ordinary bandits are not that bold. After all, the suburbs are very close to the city. In any case, the police or even the garrison may come to encircle and suppress them.

Besides, no money was lost, it was just pure murder.

This style of doing things is completely in line with the habits of the rough men in Northeast China.

It was normal for the Manchurian Railway to send people to retaliate after receiving his intelligence. Calculating the time, they would probably arrive during this period.

"Idiot, idiot."

Pulling open the roof, Toshiki Kawata climbed up to the small attic while cursing.

He is now 80% sure that those arrested are Manchurian Railway agents, and the number should be three to five. He did not hear the exact number, but this is the result of his inference.

It is very likely that all the people from the Manchuria Railway who came this time were wiped out.

This is a big deal, so he has to report it to his superiors immediately. The chief section chief will definitely be satisfied with such information. The earlier they know it than other colleagues, the more it proves the power of their Special High Section.

When sending the message, Kawata Toshiki did not give a definite answer, only saying that there was a 50% possibility, and let the Manchuria Railway investigate everything on its own.

After sending the telegram, Kawata Toshiki quickly shut down the radio station and cleaned up all traces.

Just ten minutes later, Tsuyoshi Noguchi, director of the Intelligence Division of the Manchuria Railway Investigation Department, received a call in his office.

"Noguchi-kun, we just received intelligence that three to five people were arrested in Tianjin. Have you sent anyone to Tianjin?"

The caller was his friend in the Special Higher Police Intelligence Department. Noguchi was shocked and immediately replied, "I did send five people."

"Where are they now?"

"They didn't bring a radio. I don't know exactly where they are, but they are almost in Tianjin."

Noguchi replied casually. There was silence for a while, and then he sighed softly, "Your people may have been arrested."

"Being caught? How is that possible? The one I sent this time is Akiyama, and you know his abilities." Noguchi said anxiously.

"I know, wait for my news."

The person on the other end of the phone sighed. He, Noguchi and Akiyama were from the same hometown. Because of his understanding of Akiyama, he felt that Kawata's speculation was very likely to be true, and the people sent by the Mantetsu were in great danger.
