The Spy

Chapter 87 He is a traitor
After Fang Laibao finished speaking, Xu Qingyun realized that there was something wrong.

Cui Zhengfeng was in the general affairs group. He notified the interrogation group to go and collect the money. At first glance, it seemed normal. The general affairs and interrogation groups were adjacent to each other and only a few steps away. It made sense that he didn't need to notify them by phone.

It's just a saying, but it doesn't fit their normal situation.

There was no stationmaster at Tianjin Station before, and many people were used to being lazy. Not to mention them, even in later generations, people would rather send messages than make phone calls, or rather make phone calls than go out. This is human laziness. There are diligent people, but they are very few.

The weather is not very good today, with strong wind and a chill. In this kind of weather, even Xu Qingyun, who is outside looking at houses, wants to go back to the office early, not to mention someone who is usually lazy.

It's not just Cui Zhengfeng, the entire Tianjin Station is basically like this.

Secondly, Cui Zhengfeng notified people and there was no need to go to the cell.

The office was closer to them, so they could just say a word there and the rest of the people could pass the message on to each other in their group. The cell held so many people and it smelled terrible. Xu Qingyun had been there several times, but each time he was unwilling to stay there for long.

But he stayed inside and chatted with people.

This is a bigger doubt.

"Yan Ming, keep an eye on Cui Zhengfeng and pay attention to his every move."

Xu Qingyun quickly gave the order. Yan Ming was slightly startled, then nodded excitedly: "Yes, Team Leader."

The team leader asked us to keep an eye on someone, which proved that Cui Zhengfeng was a strong suspect, and maybe they could find a traitor.

"Team Leader Fang, let's go to the cell."

It was enough for Cui Zhengfeng to be kept under surveillance by Yan Ming. This kid was good at keeping an eye on people. Cui Zhengfeng was not a professional agent, so he would not be able to discover Yan Ming even if he knew him.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Fang Laibao agreed immediately. It seemed that his worries were right. Team Leader Xu attached great importance to this matter. Not only did he personally understand the situation, he also sent people to keep an eye on Cui Zhengfeng.

If Cui Zhengfeng really had a problem, he would be credited for reporting it in a timely manner. However, if he did not report it and was discovered by Team Leader Xu, he would be dereliction of duty and might even be punished.

Inside the cell, those who had gone to collect their money had already returned and were swinging the dollars around for fun, or blowing them down to listen to the sound.

Money is something that has been counterfeited in every era, including now.

So much so that in later generations, some people took their ancestral silver dollars and confidently went for appraisal. When the experts found out that the goods were fake, they cursed the experts, saying that ancestral things could not be fake and that only the experts were fake.

Little do people know that, not to mention big dollars, any valuable item can be made to look real.

Xu Qingyun first went to the interrogation team office and learned that Cui Zhengfeng had indeed been there, but only three people were notified, and he took the initiative to go to the cell to tell the others.

The doubts about him increased again.

"Team Leader, Team Leader Xu."

Inside the cell, upon seeing Xu Qingyun and Fang Laibao coming in, Old Liu and the other man on duty immediately stood up and quietly put away the dollars they had been playing with.

"Team Leader Xu is here to ask you something. You must answer truthfully. If anyone dares to conceal or lie, the people inside will see it, right? You will have to go in and keep them company."

Fang Laibao said seriously that he was not threatening. The matter might involve a traitor. If he didn't tell the truth, he would be helping the traitor and be an accomplice of the traitor.

Or be directly defined as a traitor.

Being locked up there is a minor punishment, but serious ones can be fatal.

"Don't worry, team leader. We will tell you whatever you ask us. We won't dare to tell a lie."

Old Liu was shocked. They were in the intelligence department, and it was definitely not a good thing to be questioned by someone from the intelligence team, especially when the person who came was the top person in the intelligence team.

They admired Xu Qingyun very much for capturing so many Japanese spies and traitors, and knew that Xu Qingyun was a truly capable man.

"When did Cui Zhengfeng come?" "Just now." The two answered honestly.

"Tell us exactly what he said to you."

"Yes……"

The two recalled and supplemented each other, and basically recounted what Cui Zhengfeng said to them. They could remember the general content of ordinary conversations, but most people could not remember every detailed sentence.

"Are you sure he offered to help you on duty?"

"Are you sure? Otherwise, we wouldn't have dared to go out. We would have been shocked if we didn't see him when we came back."

Old Liu nodded immediately. Xu Qingyun glanced at Fang Laibao. Fang Laibao was going to make a great contribution this time, but Cui Zhengfeng was in big trouble.

He took the initiative to come to the cell to make a notification, deliberately saying that he did not have enough money, just to lure the two away. Then he kindly helped them on duty, but did not stay at the door of the duty station, but went inside. His real purpose was to go in and ask for what he wanted.

Xu Qingyun had already guessed what he wanted.

The station did not report the details of the case. So many Japanese spies were arrested and years of planning were destroyed.

Many traitors were arrested, and the intelligence network they had spent a lot of money to build suffered a severe blow. At this time, what they wanted to know most was how these people were arrested and why they were arrested.

This is inevitable.

"Team Leader Fang, let's go inside."

Soon, Xu Qingyun found out the situation of the two people inside. Just as he guessed, Cui Zhengfeng deliberately talked to them after he came in and asked about the Japanese inside. He took the opportunity to change the topic and let the interrogation team talk about his handling process.

Although not completely detailed, real intelligence personnel can piece together the whole incident through these details.

At this time, Xu Qingyun was 80% sure that Cui Zhengfeng was a traitor.

The people in the interrogation team were not agents, so he succeeded in extracting information from them. Fortunately, Fang Laibao was a cautious person and found out that one of his people had gone out without permission and asked a few more questions. After learning about Chu's situation, he immediately reported it, causing the hidden traitor to reveal his identity.

"What happened today is absolutely confidential. Don't tell anyone about it. Keep it all to yourself."

After questioning, Xu Qingyun instructed the four people not to let Cui Zhengfeng know that he had come to question them, otherwise it would easily arouse his suspicion.

Cui Zhengfeng is a traitor, which is both unexpected and reasonable.

He was of low rank and inconspicuous in the General Affairs Group. Generally speaking, the Japanese wanted an insider who was in an important position and had timely access to confidential information. For example, Li Liangwen was in the telecommunications group before. Many telegrams passed through his hands, so he could know these secrets at the first time.

He is in general affairs and is not as convenient as Li Liangwen.

However, Tianjin Station was already in chaos, and it was only natural for the Japanese to attack Tianjin Station and bribe internal accomplices.

The Military Intelligence Department was established not long ago, after all, it is an intelligence department.

The Japanese explored every street, even every well and alley, so it was impossible that they did not have any arrangements targeting the intelligence departments.

There is more than one traitor in Tianjin Station, previously it was Li Liangwen and now it is Cui Zhengfeng.

Xu Qingyun didn’t dare to conclude whether there were any more.

"Team Leader Fang, let's go see the stationmaster."

After coming out, Xu Qingyun said to Fang Laibao, Fang Laibao was slightly stunned, then happily replied: "Thank you, Team Leader Xu."

If he went to see the stationmaster, he would definitely report the matter. Xu Qingyun had a closer relationship with the stationmaster. Even if he left himself aside and went to report alone, Fang Laibao would not be able to say anything.

However, Xu Qingyun brought him along, which meant that he was asked to report the matter to the stationmaster in person, which was equivalent to giving him the credit for discovering the traitor.
