The Spy

Chapter 79 Slipping Away Quickly
In the evening, Xu Qingyun came to Wu Shaoshu's house carrying a box.

The house where Wu Shaoshu lived was a single-family building, very exquisite. It was a servant who opened the door. When Xu Qingyun came in, he saw Wu Shaoshu's wife knitting a sweater.

"Qingyun is here, your stationmaster is in the study."

This was not the first time Xu Qingyun came. Wu Shaoshu’s wife recognized him and knew that he was the most capable person in Tianjin Station.

Xu Qingyun played an indispensable role in helping her man gain a foothold in Tianjin.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go first."

Xu Qingyun said hello to Wu Shaoshu's wife and went upstairs.

Wu Shaoshu's wife was well-educated and literate, and was a lady from a well-off family. Wu Shaoshu himself also came from a good family.

Nowadays, most people who can become military officers, especially senior officers, come from good families.

Ordinary people could not afford to go to school, let alone become officers.

"Stationmaster."

Wu Shaoshu was reading a book in the study. When he had nothing to do, he liked to read, mostly classical masterpieces, such as Dream of the Red Chamber, which he had read several times.

"Qingyun is here, please sit down."

Seeing Xu Qingyun, Wu Shaoshu smiled and waved his hand.

Xu Qingyun put the box on the table and began to report on his work in recent period.

After finishing the report, he left without taking the box.

After sending Xu Qingyun downstairs, Wu Shaoshu returned to the study, opened the box, and a smile immediately broke out on his face.

Inside were rows of gold bars.

Xu Qingyun is sensible. He delivered it once last time and delivered it again this time.

I counted them and there were exactly forty of them, ten more than last time.

He understood that this was copied from Luo Zuquan. Luo Zuquan was of a high rank and must have made more money than this. However, the case belonged to Xu Qingyun and he was the one who found the person. He was already satisfied that he could be given so much.

Xu Qingyun’s gains today were indeed not small.

All the gold bars, dollars and jewelry that Luo Zuquan took away fell into his hands.

There are more than 80 gold bars and more than 5,000 dollars. The jewelry has not been sold yet.

There are also real estate shops and so on.

Not all of these things will be handed over, the station can only get a small part of them, and most of them will fall into Xu Qingyun's hands.

Finally, if converted into gold bars, there would be almost hundreds of them.

Wu Shaoshu is the stationmaster. He handled this case under great pressure, so he must give him some money, and the lion's share. Xie Yongshan did a good job this time and took the initiative to give up the money that was confiscated, so he must also give something.

Also, keep some for Xu Zhanjie in the future.

Xu Qingyun’s close friend in Tianjin is Wu Shaoshu, and in Nanjing it is Xu Zhanjie.

After distributing some to his subordinates, Xu Qingyun could only get about thirty sticks in the end, and Wu Shaoshu already got the biggest share.

Wu Shaoshu understood all this, so he had no objection, and in his heart he even praised Xu Qingyun for being sensible.

Langfang.

The person sent by Miyajima finally arrived at the place, found a public phone, and called Tao Tianqi.

He didn't know that Tao Tianqi's phone had been tapped, and that countless eyes were staring at him in the past two days.

Yan Ming found a lot of evidence from Xu Qingyun, and reported it all to General Song. General Song sent his trusted aides and a lot of guards to guard here.

Not only that, General Song sent General Hu to keep a close eye on the place personally. General Hu was Tao Tianqi's old superior, and many of the regiment commanders and battalion commanders here were also General Hu's subordinates.

General Hu was in charge to prevent others from being deceived by Tao Tianqi and doing wrong things.

The phone in Tao Tianqi's office rang and he picked it up.

When Tao Tianqi heard the signal agreed upon with Kawada in advance, his body suddenly stiffened.

"I see."

Tao Tianqi hung up the phone. He was not as panicked as Luo Zuquan. He was thinking about how to deal with the emergency. Something happened to Hetian, but he was unable to show up himself and let others inform him to evacuate, which exposed the information.

He was probably under surveillance.

Tao Tianqi's eyes fell on the phone, and he quickly turned on the receiver, then his eyes narrowed.

He saw the bug and pulled it off.

Yan Ming, who was monitoring the situation, suddenly took off his headphones. He heard a harsh noise in the headphones and realized that the bug had been discovered.

"General Hu, someone called Tao Tianqi and he found the bug. Please get ready. I will check who called."

Yan Ming was very smart. He knew he was exposed, so he immediately left under the pretext of tracking down the phone call. If he didn't leave, he would probably be caught by Tao Tianqi.

If General Song wants to capture the person himself, then give him to them.

"Call all the guards over to me."

Tao Tianqi acted quickly and called his adjutant immediately. He understood that he was in great danger and had to control the situation.

He had two regiments under his command, and the two regiment commanders were appointed by higher authorities and were not his confidants.

But the deputy group leader below is his man.

Yan Ming ran very fast, and when Tao Tianqi and the guards found the monitoring room, there was only equipment inside, but no one.

"Come here, gather all those above the battalion commander level to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. I have an important mission to announce."

Having failed to catch the man, Tao Tianqi knew that he was in extreme danger. The most important thing right now was to control his soldiers. Only with soldiers could he have confidence. Even if the people above wanted to take action against him, he would have to think twice.

"Why did you suddenly call a meeting?"

As soon as he finished shouting, a person suddenly walked in from outside. When Tao Tianqi saw the person, he was startled.

"General Hu..."

"Tao Tianqi, you disappoint me so much."

Someone made a phone call, and Tao Tianqi immediately knew that he was being monitored, and wanted to summon officers to take control of the troops.

Various signs have proved that Tao Tianqi has indeed betrayed.

"Take it."

General Hu brought more guards than the people around Tao Tianqi. Before coming, he had stabilized the two regiment commanders. Now Tao Tianqi's men have become his. With only these few guards, Tao Tianqi is no match for him.

Tao Tianqi did not resist. The moment his old leader appeared, he knew he could not escape.

Damn Kawata, if I hadn't been bewitched by him, how would this be happening?

At the train station, Yan Ming was leading people to search.

Tao Tianqi's call came from Langfang, which meant that someone came here and called him. Yan Ming had already deployed people at the telephone bureau to find out the source of the call and immediately tracked down the source.

He ran away under the pretext of checking his phone number, but this phone number really needed to be checked.

After questioning, it was found that the caller was a man in his twenties, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a black hat, a gray robe, and speaking with a northeastern accent.

After finding out the general situation, Yan Ming immediately went to the train station.

This is the most prosperous place in Langfang. After the other party makes the call, he is likely to leave by train.

"Has a train just left for Peking?"

Yan Ming didn't see anyone similar in the train station, and he heard some bad news.

A train has just left.

"Let's drive to the next stop."

Yan Ming was very decisive. He immediately took people to drive to the next stop. Their car drove fast, not slower than the train.

When they came to investigate the case, they had to bring a lot of equipment, such as eavesdropping devices. Xu Qingyun specially helped them apply for a car, which was always with them.

Yan Ming drove the car himself, speeding all the way and finally arrived at the station five minutes earlier than the train.
