The Spy

Chapter 96: Internal Conflict
Guan Di threw away the bench and took out his pistol with full confidence, but he was dumbfounded. Before he could raise the gun, the car hit the bench and sped past.

Why didn’t the other party stop? I should have stopped the car earlier.

Guan Di didn't know that stopping the car would be even worse, Xu Qingyun had just seen his photo, and if he found out what he said, he would just knock him down.

"boom"

Gunshots rang out, Zheng Jiming fired the first shot, Guan Di's body was suddenly hit hard, and the bullet hit his right shoulder.

Zheng Jiming’s shooting skills are indeed good, and he can even hit people in an emergency.

Xu Qingyun drove towards Zuo Jinfang. Seeing the car coming, Zuo Jinfang waved hurriedly.

Noticing them, Xu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go and catch him."

Zuo Jinfang ran towards the car and did not forget to order them to capture Guan Di.

After Guan Di was shot, he fell to the ground with a bullet in his shoulder. Half of his body was out of control and his gun fell to the ground. He struggled to get up and pick up the gun. Zheng Jiming was sharp-eyed and stopped the car immediately when he saw his movement and fired another shot at his side.

Guan Di retracted his hand in fear.

Zheng Jiming and others rode bicycles and quickly arrived at the place several dozen meters away. The first person to arrive picked up the gun on the ground, and the others held him down.

"Brother Qingyun, are you okay?"

Zuo Jinfang never thought that Guan Di came here to assassinate Xu Qingyun, and his face turned pale with fright.

"I am fine."

Xu Qingyun did not get out of the car. He looked back through the rear window and noticed that his men had rushed over and held the man down. He then got out of the car with complete peace of mind.

The gunshots alarmed the people in the police station, and many of them ran out with guns.

Who was so bold as to open fire in front of the police headquarters in broad daylight? Wang Jiansheng also heard the gunshots and ordered his secretary to go out and check the situation.

"Brother Qingyun, I didn't expect Guan Di to come here to assassinate you. Fortunately, we caught up with him."

Zuo Jinfang said quickly, and Xu Qingyun was stunned. The person who assassinated him was Guan Di? He came to the General Administration to check Guan Di's information, and he was assassinated by the person he wanted to arrest as soon as he left the office?

Instinct told Xu Qingyun that someone had betrayed him, and Guan Di knew that he was going to catch him, so he took revenge on him.

Is it from the Police Headquarters?
will not.

He just came to check information. The people in the headquarters didn't know what he was going to do to Guan Di. If it wasn't the headquarters, then it would be their squadron.

Due to the information asymmetry, Xu Qingyun did not think about Cao Yunfeng.

"Go over and have a look."

Noticing that Zheng Jiming and others had already captured the person, Xu Qingyun walked over. Guan Di was not dead, but there was a lot of blood on his body.

"team leader."

Seeing Xu Qingyun coming, Zheng Jiming and others gave up their seats. At this time, there were already quite a few people around, most of whom were police officers who had escaped.

"Take him to the headquarters."

This is on the street, not suitable for questioning. Guan Di was shot in the shoulder, but it is not a fatal wound. The General Administration can stop the bleeding and bandage him.

As for the warhead inside, Xu Qingyun didn't even think about it. He wanted to find out who betrayed him and find out the traitor.

Guan Di will die sooner or later, and letting him die early will be a relief for him.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiming and others carried Guan Di and dragged him directly to the General Bureau, which was conveniently located at the entrance of the police station. The General Bureau had a more complete interrogation room and an electric chair.

In the entire Tianjin Police Department, only the General Administration has one.

"Someone tried to assassinate Xu Qingyun?"

After the secretary learned the situation, he immediately ran back to report. Wang Jiansheng's eyes widened.

"Yes, Captain Xu was very cautious. When someone stopped his car, he drove straight through. It happened that his men were tracking down a thief. The thief was the killer. Captain Xu's men fired both shots."

"Where are they?"

Wang Jiansheng stood up. He had not left yet and was still the police chief. Someone assassinated the rising star squadron leader of the police station in front of the gate of the police headquarters. It was simply lawless.

"Captain Xu took the men to our interrogation room."

The secretary replied, and Wang Jiansheng didn't ask any more questions and walked out directly.

In the interrogation room, the doctor was bandaging Guan Di to stop the bleeding, while Guan Di kept wailing.

"Qingyun, are you okay?"

Just as the wound was treated, Wang Jiansheng walked in.

"Chief, I'm fine, why are you here?"

"Let me see who is so bold as to assassinate our police officers in front of the police station."

Wang Jiansheng looked at Guan Di and said viciously that he had come at the right time, Xu Qingyun could use the interrogation room for interrogation at any time, and no one objected.

But if the electric chair is used, approval must be obtained from above.

Wang Jiansheng had issued an order before that the electric chair was not an ordinary torture instrument and could not be used at will.

"Chief, his name is Guan Di, he is a lone robber, and I am arresting him for a theft case."

When Xu Qingyun explained, Wang Jiansheng was stunned. He thought of the same question as Xu Qingyun and immediately replied, "Interrogate immediately."

"Yes, Chief, I want to use the electric chair to speed up the interrogation."

"no problem."

Wang Jiansheng agreed immediately. The director gave the order and the people in the interrogation department put Guan Di on the electric chair without saying a word, ready to turn on the electric shock.

"Who told you I was going to arrest you? How did you know I was here?"

While Xu Qingyun was asking questions, he kept analyzing in his mind that few people knew that he came to the General Administration today, and Zuo Jinfang was an insider.

It was impossible for Zuo Jinfang to betray him, and it was Zuo Jinfang who brought people over in time and hit Guan Di.

But what about everyone else?

Or maybe someone who knew the truth let it slip, and someone with ulterior motives heard it and told Guan Di.

"You want to catch me?"

Guan Di was stunned. He was sent by Cao Yunfeng and had no idea that Xu Qingyun was trying to catch him.

Looking at his expression, Xu Qingyun frowned. What did his question mean? He didn't know why he wanted to arrest him and assassinate him?

Normally they have no grudges against each other.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Xu Qingyun asked, Guan Di shook his head and said: "You'd better let me go. There is a big shot behind me, who is more powerful than you think. If you don't let me go and provoke him, you will have a hard time."

Guan Di knew Cao Yunfeng's identity. The Military Intelligence Department was a secret service department and supervised the military and police.

Cao Yunfeng used to be the actual controller of Tianjin Station, and in his mind he was indeed a big shot.

"Big man?"

Xu Qingyun smiled and waved his hand: "Turn on the power to him."

The current was set at the lowest setting, and as soon as he turned on the switch, his body began to tremble, with an expression of extreme pain and horror.

He had been beaten before and considered himself to be very fierce, so he was not afraid of any general punishment.

But he didn't expect that there was such a horrible thing as the electric chair in the world that could directly stimulate the nerves. Before this, he had never even heard of the name of the electric chair.

I enjoyed it the first time I heard about it. I was lucky.

"Cao, yes, yes Cao..."

"stop."

Xu Qingyun saw that he wanted to speak, but couldn't speak normally due to the electric current, so he immediately asked someone to cut off the power.

Many people frowned, a foul smell spread quickly, Guan Di had already defecated and urinated, and was gasping for breath.

"who is it?"

"Cao, Brother Cao, Cao Yunfeng from the Military Intelligence Department."

After experiencing that hellish journey, Guan Di no longer dared to hide anything. He would rather die than experience the pain he had just experienced again.

"Cao Yunfeng?" Xu Qingyun's eyes flashed with coldness, and Wang Jiansheng was stunned. He thought there was a traitor inside the police station, but he didn't expect it to be an internal conflict in the Military Intelligence Department.

"Everyone keep today's events secret and get out now."

Wang Jiansheng suddenly gave an order. He knew Cao Yunfeng and the matter involved the secret service, so it was not appropriate for the other police officers to stay in the interrogation room.

"Qingyun, you can judge it yourself."

Wang Jiansheng patted Xu Qingyun on the shoulder and then left. He was not that curious and it was better to know less about the internal affairs of the secret service department.

"He gave me ten gold bars, told me you were here, and asked me to kill you and leave Tianjin..."

Xu Qingyun was the only one left in the interrogation room. Guan Di spoke slowly and even confessed on his own initiative that he had only given five gold bars at the beginning, but after he knew that he was going to kill the captain of the police station, he temporarily raised the price and finally paid five gold bars as a deposit.

He didn't know that the person he was about to kill was the deputy head of the Tianjin Station Intelligence Group.

Cao Yunfeng didn't tell him this.

"When did he find you?"

"A few days ago, he suddenly found me today and asked me to do it."

Xu Qingyun believed what he said. There were no traitors in the police station. There was no need for the police to have friendship with such people. If it was really Da Shua, the police would indeed be willing to make friends with him. Da Shua was a big gangster with power and could help.

What can someone like Guan Di do?
Help them kill people?

Most policemen have families, and those who are not married have parents and relatives. If they hang out with this kind of jerk, they will get into trouble.

Cao Yunfeng did have a motive to kill him.

He was promoted to deputy team leader, threatening Cao Yunfeng's position. This time he made great contributions. Cao Yunfeng was afraid that he would replace him and wanted to get rid of him first.

"Thank you, Chief. I want to make a phone call."

Wang Jiansheng was outside and did not return to the office, so Xu Qingyun came over to thank him.

"No problem, I'll do it right away."

Xu Qingyun called Wu Shaoshu. Wu Shaoshu was stunned when he heard that Cao Yunfeng had sent someone to assassinate Xu Qingyun.

Upon learning that the killer had been caught, Wu Shaoshu immediately asked Xie Yongshan to arrest him, but unfortunately he was one step too late as Cao Yunfeng was not in the office.

At this time, Cao Yunfeng was at home, packing his things urgently.

He just called the police insider and told them what happened at the police headquarters.

The insider was not aware that he was the instigator. According to orders, all important matters and matters related to military intelligence must be reported in a timely manner, so he reported Xu Qingyun's visit to the General Police Department.

Cao Yunfeng took the valuables while cursing, "Damn Guan Di, he actually failed. Why didn't he just die after failing, but was captured alive by Xu Qingyun instead?"

Once Guan Di betrays him, he will be finished immediately.

Wu Shaoshu disliked him in the first place and would not miss such an opportunity.

He has to run.

As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.

"Let's go." After packing up simply and without even taking any clothes, Cao Yunfeng called his wife.

"I haven't finished picking up my things yet."

"No, I'll buy it later."

Cao Yunfeng knew the importance of time. One more minute at home would increase the danger, so he had to leave immediately.

He planned to drive out of the city and head west.

He has a brother in a place far away in the west, where he can go for refuge. The emperor is far away and the people there don't care about Nanjing, so the people in the Military Intelligence Department can't do anything to him.

"Very valuable."

Cao Yunfeng's wife didn't listen and was still packing. She didn't know what was going on. Cao Yunfeng only told her to pack up and leave, not understanding the importance of time.

"Snapped."

Cao Yunfeng slapped her in the face and pulled her away without saying anything. Life is more important than things.

Xie Yongshan and his men rushed to his home, but unfortunately they were too late.

"Director, I'm going to go back first. Guan Di will be kept here with you for the time being."

At the police station, after Xu Qingyun finished the call, he immediately spoke to Wang Jiansheng.

"Take your people back with you. Don't worry, I won't let anyone contact Guan Di."

Wang Jiansheng smiled and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." It has only been a short time and someone actually wants to assassinate Xu Qingyun, and it is one of their insiders.

Don’t they know that it is the Japanese who are happy that Xu Qingyun is dead?

If such a person were under his command, he would definitely be shot.

"Thank you, Director."

Xu Qingyun took Zuo Jinfang and others away. Wang Jiansheng specially gave them a car because there were so many people that one car was not enough.

The subordinates followed to protect Xu Qingyun's safety.

Cao Yunfeng hired a killer to assassinate him. Who knows what crazy things he will do?
Safety is the most important thing.

"Team leader, the stationmaster asked you to go to Cao Yunfeng's house."

Not long after he came out, Yan Ming drove to find him. Xu Qingyun's heart sank. Cao Yunfeng received the news and ran away?

He immediately remembered that the police station had an insider in the Military Intelligence Department.

Unfortunately, all these insiders were in the hands of Cao Yunfeng, and only the stationmaster knew their identities. Xu Qingyun was always busy and was the deputy team leader, so he did not take over these spies.

"Let's go there."

Several cars drove towards Cao Yunfeng's place. Before they arrived, Xu Qingyun saw Wu Shaoshu and Jie Yongshan standing at the door of Cao Yunfeng's house, and there were quite a few people at the door.

"Qingyun, that bastard Cao Yunfeng ran away earlier. I am asking people to track down where he ran to."

After Xu Qingyun left, Wu Shaoshu took the initiative to say that the intelligence chief of Tianjin Station assassinated the deputy chief. He was extremely angry. If other branches knew about this, they would laugh their heads off.

They have just achieved such a great achievement, which is a good thing for them to show off their reputation, but Cao Yunfeng's reputation will be greatly reduced.

Damn Cao Yunfeng, why didn’t I see that he was such a person before?
I should have gotten rid of him earlier.

Wu Shaoshu was a wise man after the event. After all, Cao Yunfeng was a major and the head of the intelligence team. Wu Shaoshu could not touch him without a proper reason.

"Did he drive?" Xu Qingyun asked immediately.

"opened."

The person who answered was Xie Yongshan. He asked someone to inquire about the situation and found out that Cao Yunfeng did drive back home and soon left with his wife and children.

Cao Yunfeng is despicable. He was driving the Military Intelligence Department’s car.

"Let me consider."

Xu Qingyun observed carefully at the door and soon found the tire tracks. If he wanted to escape, he only had a few options.

Train, boat, or just drive away.

Airplanes are impossible.

He had to wait for the ship. There were many trains running at Tianjin Railway Station, but he was in too much of a hurry and there was no guarantee that there would be a train when he arrived at the station. The most likely option was to drive.

"Stationmaster, wait for me. I will go after him and will not let this guy get away."

"Write down the tire tracks," Xu Qingyun took the initiative to say. Wu Shaoshu remembered his unique skill of reading footprints, and it seemed that he could read tire tracks as well.

"Okay, go right away."

"Team Leader Xie, go back and get some gasoline and bring it to me. I will mark the signals for you along the way."

Cars need gasoline. There are no gas stations everywhere these days, and it is difficult to refuel in remote areas. Xu Qingyun had to bring enough gas to ensure that he could catch up with Cao Yunfeng.

"no problem."

Xie Yongshan agreed immediately. Xu Qingyun did not waste any time. He let Yan Ming drive and he sat in the passenger seat and left in the direction of the tire tracks.

Fortunately, in this era, most roads are made of bluestone, which is very dusty and easy to leave marks.
