Chapter 213 Official Promotion
After Xu Qingyun left, Yukio Mikami opened his eyes again.
This young man has a wisdom that belies his age. He is very scary. He can get the desired result in just a few words. Xu Qingyun is right. He has his own mole who instigates rebellion. He does not speak. In addition to protecting his offline, he is Protect these people.
Those who can allow him to personally instigate rebellion are very important people.
He didn't have many moles in his hands, and he had only instigated three people to rebel in seven years.
He is the team leader, so he is not someone ordinary people would be able to attack.
At this time, he didn't have much luck. Shanghai would not contact him regularly until tomorrow. If the offline person didn't know, it would be easy to be exposed.
It can be said that his group was completely defeated.
No wonder the chief section chief ordered this person to be killed before, but Kawashima was incompetent and failed to eliminate this hidden danger to the empire, which caused them great losses.
The new section chief Kitagawa is even worse and has not taken any action so far.
It is a tragedy for the empire to hand over Shanghai's special higher education courses to them.
Mikami was not thinking about his own life, but that his team was very important. They could collect a lot of important information now, and their role would be even greater during the war.
Now that they are all captured, it is a huge loss to the empire.
It's a pity that he can't do anything now, and praying has no effect. It's not that he hasn't prayed before, but in the end, his men were still caught one by one.
"Team leader."
Seeing Xu Qingyun's return, the people in the headquarters stood up one after another. After catching these spies, the workload of the four groups was reduced a lot, and now they can take a short rest.
The first and second teams are conducting investigations, and the three teams are very active, hoping to find this Japanese spy.
Especially Xu Qingyun told them that he might be the last Japanese spy.
Every group is determined to get this credit.
"Sit down."
Xu Qingyun waved his hand. There were also many people from the four groups outside. With so many people investigating together, Xu Qingyun believed that it would not take long to find the Japanese spy.
The next morning, the Shanghai Special Higher Education Telecommunications Team started the daily routine.
There is a special team within the telecommunications team. They are not members of the telecommunications team, but belong to the intelligence team. However, they work here all year round, two at a time.
The main purpose is to contact lurking personnel. Whether it is regular contact or emergency contact, the intelligence sent back by the lurking personnel is basically received by the intelligence team members themselves.
The information they sent back was very important and was kept secret.
This morning was regular contact time with the Mikami team.
The time is seven o'clock in the morning.
This is the time set by Mikami. He will send a report at seven o'clock. If there is no reply from Shanghai, he will send it again ten minutes later. Regardless of whether there is a reply, he will leave and go to work.
However, since lurking, he has never seen a situation where there was no reply from the headquarters.
Regular contact, while reporting some unimportant information.
This is their normal contact method.
At 7:30, the intelligence team agent frowned. Usually the Mikami team would send them a report on time at 7 o'clock. Why hasn't it been three minutes today?
This phenomenon has also never happened.
"Should I take the initiative to send them a report and ask?"
The intelligence team agent asked his companion, who shook his head slightly and said, "Wait for another two minutes."
According to regulations, if a report from the Mikami team is not received within five minutes, they can send an inquiry, but the time is not up yet.
Two minutes passed quickly, and the two began to take the initiative to send reports.
Unfortunately, there was no response.
"Team leader, something may have happened to Mikami's team."
At 7:10, they sent it again. After getting no reply, they immediately called Iijima to report it.
Iijima hasn't arrived at the office yet and is having breakfast at home.
"You guys wait for me."
Not caring about continuing to eat, Iijima immediately got up and drove to the Special High School.
He lives very close to the Special High School, both in the Japanese Concession, and can be reached in a few minutes.
"What's going on?"
When he saw his subordinates, Iijima asked immediately. The two subordinates told them about the situation in the morning. They were old men from the special high school and were responsible for contacting lurking personnel in the past.
After Iijima took office, he did not touch them.
The two of them were worried at this time. Strictly speaking, they were not from Iijima. If something happened, Iijima might blame them at any time.
"Has this happened before?" Iijima asked again.
He knew Mikami, but he had never met this person. He only knew that he was a student of the chief section chief, but there were many students of the chief section chief. People who listened to the chief section chief's lectures classified themselves as students.
Including him.
There are not many people who can really be recognized by the chief section chief, and Mikami is one of them.
"Never."
The two shook their heads together, and Iijima's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The requirements of the latent team are strict, and regular reports cannot be given up for no reason. This is a way to report to the headquarters that they are safe.
If something is delayed, they will say hello in advance, such as sending a report in advance to explain the situation.
Unless there is an urgent task, but what urgent task will be performed in the morning?
He knew that Yukio Mikami worked in the Chinese Supervisory Yuan and was the chief of the archives section. He would not have any urgent tasks there.
"Follow me to see the principal."
The matter was urgent, so Iijima didn't think much and took one of them away. The remaining person called every ten minutes until Mikami responded.
The Sanshang Group is very important. It is the ace lurking group of the Shanghai Special High School. It is even more important than the Firefox Group that was exposed before.
If something happens to this group, they will suffer too much loss.
"Mikami Yukio?"
Kitagawa was also at home. He couldn't sit still after listening to Iijima's words. There were not many lurking groups in Nanjing anymore. There were only four old groups left, and the rest were the new ones who had not produced results for the time being.
Last time something happened to the Fire Fox team, luckily Fire Fox was lucky enough to escape and only lost one Fire Wolf.
Now that Mikami can't be contacted, this group may all be captured by the Chinese.
"Section Chief, I want to activate the observers immediately and let them find out the situation."
Iijima whispered that although they had not been contacted for a short period of time, they could not wait because it was a routine contact and no one knew whether something happened to Mikami or when it happened.
"Okay, make arrangements immediately."
Beichuan immediately agreed that there was no need to move the observers before. Firefox escaped after all and he knew the situation himself.
It's different now, we can't contact you, so we have to use observers.
Their observers didn't know where Mikami and the rest of his team were and needed to send them the password.
Fortunately, the observers are only for one-time use. They will return to Shanghai after completing their tasks, so the situation of the members of Mikami's team will not be revealed.
"Captain, there's something going on."
In Nanjing, Li Yuanjie was lying bored at the surveillance point when his subordinate suddenly shouted.
Li Yuanjie straightened up immediately and hurriedly picked up the telescope.
He found two Japanese spies and set up two surveillance points. At this time, he was at one of them. The observer activated by Iijima happened to be the one he was monitoring.
Through the telescope, he saw the spy answering the phone.
"Find out immediately where the call came from and what they said."
Li Yuanjie was very excited. After monitoring for so long, the spy finally made some movement. Previously, because the time was too long, he lost his patience and wanted to arrest people by force.
Now his patience finally paid off.
From the time he discovered the spy to today, the spy has never answered the phone. There must be something unusual about today's call.
Li Yuanjie knew his identity. He was not a real Chinese and no one would call him here.
The person who called him must be his Japanese accomplice.
"yes."
The men left in a hurry, and Li Yuanjie noticed that the target had returned home and closed the curtains.
You answered the phone, why did you go home?
Li Yuanjie was a little confused, but the two people he was monitoring had bugs installed in their homes. Li Yuanjie immediately came to the listening point and put on the microphone.
The target turned on the radio at home.
Li Yuanjie's eyes lit up when he heard the song coming from the radio. The spy was receiving a mission.
Previously, Team Leader Xu asked him to investigate all the targets' situations, and he found out that both targets had radios in their homes.
Knowing there was a radio, he installed a bug.
Not long after, the voice on the radio changed and began to read out numbers.
Obviously, the other party was giving him mission instructions.
The target must have a code book in his hand, and it is in his bookcase.
"Bring all the books, especially the dictionary."
Li Yuanjie immediately shouted. After noticing his bookcase, Li Yuanjie bought exactly the same book for ready use.
This was also his response after listening to Xu Qingyun's guidance.
Looking at it now, Team Leader Xu is really good. He thinks of many things in advance, giving him the correct way to deal with them.
Li Yuanjie was eyeing the coachman Wang Yuxin.
A rickshaw driver could barely explain that he had a radio at home. After all, it was an old radio. He liked listening to radios and spent money to buy one.
But after knowing his identity, Li Yuanjie understood that the radio had other functions.
As for the book, it was even more unusual to see it in the coachman's house.
These are the clues he discovered before. According to Team Leader Xu's explanation, he did not take any action. Today, he finally got the reward.
The team members next to him kept recording, while Li Yuanjie took out a book, opened it, and compared it.
Wang Yuxin doesn't have many books at home, only a few in total. He claims to the outside world that he has learned to read. A few old books are normal, but if there are more, they will look very strange.
After all, the driver's job is hard work, and learning to read is considered progress, but even if he learns, it is impossible to have a house full of books.
"Found it."
Li Yuanjie quickly made a successful comparison, suppressed his excitement, and started translating word for word according to the numbers written by the team members.
There was a lot of content. He was given seven addresses and asked to check the situation in these places to see if anyone had been arrested or whether the person was still there. After checking, he would call back immediately and then evacuate.
Evacuate?
After translating the last content, Li Yuanjie was stunned for a moment. This information could confirm that he was a Japanese spy, but why was he asked to evacuate?
As for the orders given to him, Li Yuanjie felt familiar. Didn't the observers they captured before do this kind of work?
Li Yuanjie didn't think much and asked people to keep an eye on him, while he immediately ran back to the office to report.
"Team leader, Wang Yuxin has moved. He has received an order. Look."
Li Yuanjie handed the translated content to He Rongtang. He Rongtang only read it once and his face tightened slightly.
Li Yuanjie was responsible for keeping an eye on the Japanese spies. He was not involved in the case of the fourth group, but he was involved in the whole process.
The address of the Japanese spy he captured appeared in the intelligence.
The Japanese noticed that something was wrong with their people and sent someone to verify that the person Li Yuanjie was targeting was a Japanese observer.
This information completely confirmed Wang Yuxin’s identity.
"Are you being watched?"
"I'm keeping an eye on you. Do you want to arrest me?"
Li Yuanjie nodded hurriedly. He Rongtang thought for a moment and stood up immediately: "Follow me to see Team Leader Xu."
The person they were targeting was involved in the case of Group Four, and they had to report to Xu Qingyun first.
Not to mention that he had a correct attitude before, now Xu Qingyun is about to be promoted, and no one can stop him. If he makes random decisions, Xu Qingyun will be given some shoes to wear as soon as he is promoted to deputy section chief.
The key is not only the deputy section chief, the section chief will also have opinions on him when the time comes.
None of the leaders and deputy leaders wanted to see him, and he wouldn't be able to stay as team leader for long.
"The person you are following is an observer. He just received an order to verify the status of the people we arrested?"
He Rongtang came to the headquarters and immediately took the initiative to report, while Xu Qingyun asked in surprise.
"Yes, look at this."
He Rongtang handed over the translated information with both hands. Xu Qingyun only took one look and knew that what He Rongtang said was absolutely correct. The Japanese did know the news about Mikami's accident.
The seven locations are the addresses of Mikami and his six downlines.
As for the evacuation mentioned in the end, Xu Qingyun could understand it, but he did not expect that the Japanese changed their approach in terms of observers. They no longer fixed the observers, but made them disposable.
No wonder they didn't make any movement when Li Yuanjie was staring at them before.
Act after receiving a mission, and evacuate immediately after completing the mission. This can indeed ensure that the situation of the lurking personnel is not leaked.
After these observers return, it is certainly impossible to send them on field missions, and they may even be transferred directly back to the headquarters to ensure the safety of lurking personnel.
"Team Leader He, arrest him immediately."
Xu Qingyun quickly made a decision. They have not yet fully confirmed the last Japanese spy and are investigating. This Japanese spy is a little different from the previous one. Although there are the largest number of people, he is the most difficult one.
Xu Qingyun suspected that he had disguised himself when he went out to deliver information.
"Yes, what about the other one?"
He Rongtang immediately responded. Xu Qingyun thought for a moment, then shook his head: "That one won't move for now, but this is the last spy. You can go and arrest him, and then arrest him after confirming his identity."
The other person Li Yuanjie was staring at was probably an observer.
His family situation is similar to Wang Yuxin's, with a radio and books. However, the Japanese knew that Wang Yuxin was in trouble and had at least two days to relax.
Wang Yuxin cannot leave today and can only return to Shanghai tomorrow.
Before that, you can keep an eye on them. If there is any abnormality, it is not too late to arrest them.
"The last spy?"
He Rongtang's eyes widened, and when he saw Xu Qingyun nodding, he immediately said ecstatically: "Thank you very much, Team Leader Xu, I will arrange for Li Yuanjie to arrest the person immediately."
The three teams were all looking for the last spy, but they couldn't find it for two days. He didn't expect that Li Yuanjie found out about the spy observer and brought him this benefit.
As expected of Team Leader Xu, he directly gave them the credit for this Japanese spy.
Team Leader Xu is interesting.
"Yuanjie, you go arrest them immediately, arrest both of them, I will send someone to assist you, and ask Captain Yan to help you when arresting others."
After coming out, He Rongtang immediately gave the order. Team leader Xu gave them the credit for arresting people. He could not really arrest people directly.
You must have the right attitude.
What's more, Yan Ming is indeed capable of arresting people. So far, Yan Ming has not made any mistakes in arresting people.
Especially the last Japanese espionage lurker. He has traitor information in his hands. He must be captured alive and let Yan Ming follow him to ensure nothing goes wrong.
"yes."
Li Yuanjie happily accepted the order. After staring at it for so long, he was finally going to gain something.
And this time it’s buy one get one free.
The spy team leader he wanted to capture last time escaped, so he was able to capture two this time, which was pretty good.
This time he was finally able to explain to his brother.
After the two left, Xu Qingyun stood up.
The last spy was found through this unexpected method, and this time it can be said to be a great victory.
The case may be closed, but the investigation needs to continue.
No matter how many people Mikami personally instigated, he must find them. According to the experience in Tianjin, the status of these people who were personally instigated by the team leader is generally higher.
They are more harmful.
There is another person Li Yuanjie is staring at, who also needs to be caught.
Even before tomorrow, if Wang Yuxin doesn't call back today, the Japanese will suspect that something happened to him and may have to withdraw these observers.
However, Xu Qingyun had no intention of touching him until the last moment.
Now that the Japanese don't know what's going on in Nanjing, it's in his best interest. Wang Yuxin was activated to carry out an observation mission. What if he was caught when he went to observe?
There are various possibilities.
Unless absolutely necessary, these spies try not to move.
With Yan Ming following him, the arrest went smoothly and both of them were arrested.
At this time, Wang Yuxin had just left the Overwatch Council. He came to inquire about Khufu's situation and got accurate information.
Khufu and two other section chiefs were sent to study.
He didn't know why the superiors assigned him this task. First of all, Khufu must be one of theirs, and it was possible that he didn't show up at the usual contact time with Shanghai.
If so, there are two possibilities.
First, Khufu was really sent to study. This time the study was very strict. He could not come out and contact Shanghai.
This may be the best for them, after all, nothing happened to the person.
In addition, Khufu may have been captured and there is no way to contact him. If Khufu is captured, it means that he is also in danger.
Wang Yuxin was rushing to the second place, trying to judge whether something happened to Khufu through his own people here, but he was knocked down on the way.
After being caught, Wang Yuxin no longer speculated. It was obviously the latter situation. He rashly came to inquire about Khufu's situation and was watched by the Chinese. The Shanghai Special High School killed him this time.
He had no idea that he was being targeted early on.
In the torture room, Xu Qingyun looked at the last captured Japanese spy.
As for Wang Yuxin being tried by the second team, Wang Yuxin originally belonged to them and it was the second team's case. Xu Qingyun would not take the credit from them.
The spy's appearance is indeed different from the portrait.
It seems that he can disguise. Although his disguise ability is average, as long as he changes his appearance, it will make it more difficult for them to find someone.
Disguising is actually not difficult. What is difficult is how to completely become another person. That can basically be called the art of disguise.
Xu Qingyun didn't know that one of his seniors had such an ability and was ranked number one in the world.
It was a pity that the senior was not in the same time and space as him, otherwise we could have had two drinks together.
"Jiming, let's do it."
Xu Qingyun ordered softly, and Zheng Jiming immediately picked up the whip and started whipping it hard.
The captured spy suddenly screamed.
His performance was not the best, but it was not too bad. He confessed after more than an hour, mainly because he could not bear the pain of the electric chair.
Many Japanese confessed in the electric chair.
At the same time, it also shows that their training is more rigorous, and the quality and level of these agents are not bad.
The early Japanese agents were indeed more capable. Japan had been brainwashing and educating them for so many years. It can be said that the Bushido spirit has penetrated deeply into the hearts of every Japanese soldier.
Of course, they can't brainwash everyone, and some people don't believe this.
In Shanghai, William is receiving guests.
A customer who comes to your door.
"Do you really have the information I need?"
The Japanese came here. Xu Qingyun warned him last time that he was not allowed to develop moles among the Chinese. At this time, he had no source of intelligence from China.
But the Japanese can do it. After he spread the word, someone actually came to the door.
"Of course, but it depends on whether the price you give is appropriate."
The Japanese people opposite spoke Chinese. One British person and one Japanese person communicated directly in Chinese. It seemed funny, but in fact it was normal.
This is China. The other party does not understand English, but has learned Chinese. It is most suitable for the two of them to communicate in Chinese.
In fact, William knew some Japanese. After all, he often interacted with Japanese people, but he was not able to communicate freely, so the two of them started talking in Chinese directly.
"Don't worry, as long as the information is true, the price I will give you will naturally satisfy you."
William immediately replied that it was a good thing for him to have Japanese moles come to his door. At least it would provide him with another way to make money.
"You should verify this information first. I want fifty taels of gold. This information is definitely worth the price."
The other party took out an envelope. It was obvious that he understood the intelligence transaction process. The intelligence must be verified to be true or false before money would be given.
"Okay, what's your name?"
"Just call me Osaka."
The Japanese opposite stood up with a smile, Osaka?
William knows that there is such a place in Japan. Does Japan still have this surname?
"Okay, wait for my news, three days at the latest. As long as your information is worth this price, you can come and get the money."
William also stood up, he was sending this person out.
The Japanese named Osaka put on a hat and glasses before going out, looked around at the door, and left in a hurry.
After sending him away, William opened the information.
This is a very detailed piece of information about the Japanese military. After thinking about it, William came to the room and turned on the radio.
He has his own radio station.
He didn't need to do the intelligence verification work, he could just leave it to the Chinese, but the price quoted to the Chinese became two hundred taels of gold bars.
This is what intelligence merchants do, they take huge kickbacks in the middle.
"Section Chief, calling from Shanghai."
The code book between William and the Military Intelligence Department is in the hands of Xu Zhanjie. William did a good job last time. The Virgo attaches great importance to him and requires strict protection of this intelligence dealer who was finally won over.
Xu Zhanjie translated it himself, and there is a lot of content.
After the translation was finished, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the content. Did William develop a new mole among the Japanese so quickly?
And got important information about the Kwantung Army?
But when he saw the price offered by William, Xu Zhanjie snorted coldly. Twenty large gold bars, he really dared to speak.
"Qingyun, are you free?" Xu Zhanjie picked up the phone on the table and called. Xu Qingyun was really in charge of William, but he only had the code book.
"Teacher, I'll be right over."
Xu Qingyun arrived very quickly. His case was considered over, but the cause was Dai Jieying's. Xu Qingyun simply asked Dai Jieying to write the closing report.
This way her contribution can be greater.
"Information about the Kwantung Army, Osaka?"
After reading the message, Xu Qingyun was stunned. William said that he had instigated a new mole named Osaka and brought a piece of information about the Japanese, but this information was of great value.
Is the name Osaka real or fake?
Xu Qingyun knows that Japan has the city of Osaka, and also has this surname, and the even more famous Osaka Division.
Japan's Fourth Division is the Osaka Division, which has a very strong fighting capacity and is also the unit least poisoned by the Bushido spirit.
"Teacher, I suggest you verify the authenticity of the information first."
Xu Qingyun whispered, William made it very clear that he did not verify the information. It would be handed over to them in the end anyway, so it would be better to let the Chinese do the verification.
He just needs to take advantage of it.
"Okay, I'll have someone verify it right away."
Xu Zhanjie nodded. The authenticity of the information was very important, and this was a description of the situation in the military. Although it was not particularly confidential, more information like this would allow them to know more about the Kwantung Army.
It's a pity that the Guo army has no intention of regaining the Northeast, so the value of this intelligence is not great.
Verification is not difficult. Xu Zhanjie sends out the message and leaves it to someone to do it, and it must be done as soon as possible.
William said he would pay in three days.
"Teacher, this information is not worth that much money. William must want to make some money from it."
After Xu Zhanjie finished writing the message, Xu Qingyun immediately said that the message written by Xu Zhanjie was sent to the Peiping Station for verification.
Peiping Station is the closest to the Northeast, and they have lurkers stationed there.
After verification, you can know the authenticity of the information.
"I know, how much do you think is appropriate to give him?"
Money must be given, but the key is how much. After thinking about it, Xu Qingyun said immediately: "One hundred taels, not too little."
He didn't know how much William spent to buy this information, but according to the information itself, it was really not worth the price. William was so open-mouthed that it was impossible to fully satisfy him.
I will buy information from William a lot in the future, and the Military Intelligence Office is not particularly rich.
"Okay, I'll call him back right away."
Xu Zhanjie agreed, one hundred taels of gold would do. They knew the value of the information William had sold before, and no one except them wanted to take this information.
It's not like we can call them back directly, so the information won't be worth much.
But after all, it is an important military intelligence office, so one hundred taels of gold is still worth it.
"Teacher, I'm going back first."
Xu Qingyun stood up and returned to the office. He put William's matters aside for the time being, with a thick stack of information in front of him.
They were all people Mikami had been in contact with on a daily basis.
Mikami wanted to instigate rebellion against high-level officials, and there were only three means: money, handles, and beautiful women.
Not just him, not just now, but almost in the future.
Driven by various interests.
But he must choose a target to instigate rebellion. The safest thing to instigate rebellion is a handle, followed by a beautiful woman. As for money, no matter which way, he has to give money.
The beauty was temporarily given up by Xu Qingyun.
According to the past investigation of Mikami, there has never been a beautiful woman around him. It is not ruled out that Shanghai sent people directly, but if there is no contact, Xu Qingyun is difficult to investigate, so it is better to start from other aspects.
The most reliable handle is Mikami, who works in the Oversight Council and can easily get handles from others.
But people with real identity and status cannot be threatened only by having their handle. There must also be circumstances that can threaten such people.
For example, this handle can allow him to offend someone he can't afford to offend.
"Noble, come to my office."
Xu Qingyun called Fang Laibao, and Fang Laibao came over quickly.
His office is next door to Xu Qingyun.
"When you were investigating in the Overwatch Council, how many archives did they have?"
"Just this one."
Fang Laibao immediately replied that the Overwatch Council is not small, but there is only one archives room. Fang Laibao thought for a moment and immediately said: "In addition to the archives room, they also have a confidential room where the truly confidential documents are stored. "
"Confidential room, can Yukio Mikami enter the confidential room?"
"No, but some information will be transferred to the archives room after it expires in the confidential room or becomes unimportant."
Fang Laibao shook his head, while Xu Qingyun knocked on the table. The confidential room was obviously more important than the archives room. If Khufu wanted to instigate others, he would probably attack the confidential room.
"Go immediately and check the situation in their confidential room, especially the person in charge. You must check clearly."
Xu Qingyun ordered that six offline people had been arrested, and the three watches Mikami bought were still missing, and they were probably given to others by him.
The confidential room really needs to be checked.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Fang Laibao left in a hurry. He knew that the team leader was investigating the traitor that Yukio Mikami personally instigated, and it was obvious that he suspected that he had reached the confidential room of the Overwatch Council.
Normally, a Japanese spy would not instigate rebellion in his own unit, as that would be dangerous for him.
But the confidential room is unusual, and Mikami Yukio may really attack there.
The investigation was not difficult, and Fang Laibao came back to report early the next morning.
"Team leader, Director of the Confidential Office of the Oversight Yuan, whose surname is Zhao, is quite young. He is determined to leave his job at the end of the year. He has a son and a grandson. He doesn't spend much time in the work unit, and mostly takes care of his grandson at home."
Director Zhao is equivalent to retiring at the end of the year. Now many things are handed over to the deputy director, and he, the director, has a lot of leisure.
"I checked his family situation. He doesn't have any extra wealth, and his son and grandson are normal. But the deputy director Shi Liping, his son usually likes to live and drink, and Shi Liping can't control his son."
"Continue to investigate and find out the source of money for Shi Liping's son's expenses."
Xu Qingyun nodded and said, Fang Laibao immediately went out to investigate Shi Liping's son.
Before, he mainly investigated the chief and deputy directors of the confidential room.
Shanghai, super high school.
Iijima sat in front of Kitagawa, his head lowered.
"You haven't called yet?"
Kitagawa asked again. Yesterday, they activated the observers and asked the observers to investigate the situation of the Mikami team. As a result, by the evening, there was no call from the observers.
"No."
Iijima shook his head, and Kitagawa looked ugly. The observer's task was only to investigate, call and report the findings directly, and leave Nanjing after the report.
The observer didn't call. Was something wrong? Or was it because the results were not detected?
"Director, could it be that he went to too many places and wasted time?"
Iijima explained in a low voice that they had given seven places scattered throughout Nanjing. The observers needed to visit all the places, which would indeed take time.
"Activate another observer and let him investigate."
Beichuan said coldly that the observers are not important. They are all old people from the Kawashima period and have no important tasks in Nanjing.
Their value is completely incomparable to the Mikami group.
"Hai."
Iijima understood what the section chief was worried about. He did not return to the office and directly arranged for someone to call the observer.
This time they were given not only their residential addresses, but also the addresses of their work units, and even some of the addresses where they instigated the traitors.
However, the observer was not asked to question people directly. He only went through it once to avoid that if something happened to Mikami's group, he would be stared at and not even a message could be sent back.
He only needs to verify whether the person is at home or at work.
In the afternoon, Iijima finally got the call he wanted.
"Didn't find anyone?"
After hearing what the other party said, Iijima felt chilled. There was always someone at home among the seven people. When the observer went to the place, he reported that he did not see any of them.
And the observers provided a very important piece of information.
There were several traitors in the unit who were arrested, and it happened not long ago.
Mikami's team probably thought as they thought, something really happened, and Mikami Yukio betrayed the empire and bit out all his subordinates.
"Damn Yukio Mikami."
Iijima hurried to Kitagawa's office to report this important situation. In his heart, only the team leader's betrayal would cause everyone to have trouble.
The traitors had just been caught, and it was obvious that they had not been caught for long.
Why can't Mikami stand up?
After they learned that something happened to Mikami, they would immediately arrange for other people to be transferred. It would be fine if they could hold on for a day or two.
At the same time, Iijima regretted why he was taking chances yesterday and didn't directly arrange for people to evacuate.
The traitors have just been arrested, some even today. They were most likely arrested yesterday or the day before yesterday.
"Mikami Yukio, he has betrayed the trust placed in him by the chief section chief."
After hearing the report, Beichuan was really furious. The chief section chief personally told the Mikami team that they needed to lead a good team and there would be no room for any mistakes.
Now that it was lost in his hands, the chief section chief blamed it, and he couldn't afford it.
The Mikami group had the largest number of traitors, including some important figures.
Seven years of hard work and seven years of results are all in vain at this moment.
"Director, how do we report this matter to our superiors?"
Iijima asked in a low voice. The Mikami group was very important, even more important than the previous Firefox group. The entire group was thrown away. You can imagine the anger of the chief section chief.
"Wait first, then activate an observer to find out the cause and report back."
Kitagawa waved his hand helplessly, while Iijima was stunned for a moment.
The observer was alone in Nanjing without any foreign aid or help. How could he possibly find out the cause by himself?
Iijima understood that the section chief could not explain to his superiors that he had to sacrifice this observer.
"Hai."
Iijima did not dare to object. The previous observer was the luckiest. He left Nanjing City after making the call, otherwise this task would have fallen on him.
Iijima had previously deployed four observers. He thought that the number was sufficient and foolproof, but unexpectedly, something happened to Mikami's team and he was asked to activate the three of them.
Next, we will continue to send people to Nanjing, otherwise they will have no observers available.
In Nanjing, Xu Qingyun is still catching traitors.
They were left untouched before to avoid being noticed by the Japanese. Now that the entire group has been exposed except for Mikami's instigator, it's time to arrest them.
And the Japanese obviously already knew the situation.
These traitors cannot be allowed to escape.
Yan Ming, Fang Laibao, Zuo Jinfang and Dai Jieying were all dispatched.
There are more than forty traitors to be caught this time, the largest number.
Not only were they arrested, but also their family members.
The Military Intelligence Office will verify it, and those whose families don't know can be released, but their property will definitely be confiscated, and the best they can do is survive.
If they participate and provide intelligence to Japanese spies, all participants will not let it go.
The prison of the Military Intelligence Department was as overcrowded as it was in Tianjin.
More than a hundred people were arrested, and many people had to be imprisoned together.
Repeat offenders, such as Mikami, must be held in solitary confinement.
Fortunately, the headquarters has more cells and a larger area. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hold so many people, and some people would have to be locked up in other parts of the dormitory and guarded like Tianjin.
This time the house was searched, which made the people in the general affairs department very happy.
Yan Ming sold all the things that could be easily converted into cash, such as jewelry, so the money was naturally kept by them.
There are also some shares and shops that can be sold, and those that cannot be sold will be handed over to the general affairs.
Even so, the general affairs department can't accept anything. When they deal with these things, they will definitely have a fat meal.
"Team leader, I have written the closing report."
Dai Jieying came to Xu Qingyun's office. This time the case was said to be hers. In fact, the first two spies belonged to her, and the rest were all attributed to the team leader.
She now understands how big the gap is between herself and the team leader.
The team leader did not use his ability to read footprints and found all the downlines who had not confessed to the Japanese spies, and within just a few days.
If it were her, there would probably be no hope at all.
No wonder Captain Yan admired the team leader so much and told her many times that following the team leader was the greatest blessing in her life.
Indeed, as long as she stays with the team leader, she doesn't have to worry about anything. If she works seriously, the team leader will never lose money to him.
This time the house raid was very fruitful.
Xu Qingyun, the Virgo man, has already given away one hundred and fifty large gold bars, and Xu Zhanjie's is one hundred.
Groups 1, 2, and 3 each have thirty pieces. They helped, and Xu Qingyun will not treat them badly.
Even the operations department gave some away this time.
Yanming, Fang Laibao, and Zuo Jinfang all have them, including Dai Jieying, with thirty pieces each.
And all the team members received hundreds of ocean rewards this time.
After giving out so much, Xu Qingyun still had more than a hundred gold bars left in his hand, which shows how big the harvest was.
There were more than a hundred gold bars, Xu Qingyun kept a hundred for himself, and the rest was put into the small treasury of the fourth intelligence team.
His gains were the same as Xu Zhanjie's. No one could comment on this distribution method. Even if Virgo knew about it, he would still protect him.
Whoever benefits Virgo the most.
In addition to the one hundred and fifty gold bars given by Xu Qingyun, the General Affairs Department also gave fifty gold bars. The Virgo person received the equivalent of two hundred gold bars. He is now more and more satisfied with Xu Qingyun.
"The writing is good. Come with me to see the section chief."
Xu Qingyun carefully read Dai Jieying's case closing report. He was mentioned many times in the report and explained that all subsequent developments were due to him.
Virgo knows what happened this time, so Xu Qingyun can't give all the credit to his subordinates, so just write it this way.
"Has the closing report been written?"
Xu Zhanjie received them happily. The students not only have strong personal abilities, but also have a keen eye.
Both Yan Ming and Dai Jieying in front of me are excellent and they did a good job.
"It's written, please read it first."
Xu Qingyun asked Dai Jieying to submit the case report. This time, the entire intelligence department handled the case, and Xu Zhanjie had a lot of credit in it.
Seeing his name in front of him, Xu Zhanjie suddenly smiled.
He read it very carefully. The report on the conclusion of this case was very long. Seven spies and more than forty moles were captured. Everyone's names were in it.
The observer Li Yuanjie arrested belonged to the second group. Li Yuanjie himself had written a closing report and sent it over.
Through interrogation, it was confirmed that the spy he monitored was an observer.
Not only is he, but so is another person.
The other one has been arrested. Before arresting him, Li Yuanjie gained something again.
The Japanese spy was activated and the Shanghai Special High School asked him to find out the details of the arrest of Mikami's group.
He was caught before he even took action.
This spy can be used. It takes time to investigate this kind of thing. He doesn't need to go back now. Wait a few days and let him provide false information to the special high school.
For example, Mikami was caught first, exposing other intelligence agents.
Yukio Mikami has never surrendered. If he knew that he was considered a traitor by the Special High School, I don’t know what he would think.
Anyway, there is no loss to Xu Qingyun, so let’s do this next.
"Very well, let's go, I'll take you to see Virgo."
Xu Zhanjie stood up after reading it, while Dai Jieying was stunned for a moment.
Meet Virgo?
Virgin is the director and top leader of their Military Intelligence Department. There are so many people in the Military Intelligence Department, how many of them can be received by Virgo?
I’m afraid none of the captains have experienced it.
If she can be received by Virgo, she will definitely be able to brag for a while.
"Thank you, section chief."
Dai Jieying thanked her hurriedly, and Xu Qingyun smiled. He had been interviewed by Virgo so many times that he no longer felt anything.
"Well done, these traitors and spies should be arrested."
Virgo quickly read the case report. He was even happier than Xu Zhanjie. Catching so many traitors would definitely make the old man pay more attention to them.
Who dares to say now that their military intelligence department can only deal with internal affairs but not external affairs?
Who has caught more spies, who has found more traitors than they have?
This achievement is so dazzling that it can silence everyone.
"Thank you for the compliment, Virgo."
Xu Zhanjie responded with a smile, and the chief officer looked at Xu Qingyun: "Qingyun, don't worry, this time the committee will definitely approve your rank of major, and you can wait for your promotion."
Xu Qingyun has done very well and there is no problem in getting promoted.
As soon as Xu Zhanjie and the others left, Virgo contacted Xingying and prepared to report.
He didn't want to wait any longer for such a faceless thing.
Sure enough, when the old man saw the long list of traitors, he was so angry that he threw a lot of things. Fortunately, Xu Qingyun was not here, otherwise he would just sigh secretly.
This is now, when the war comes, there will be more traitors.
There are millions of traitors who cannot be killed even if they are killed.
There must be people who are in Cao's camp and have a heart for the Han, but most of them are real rebels and help the Japanese oppress their compatriots. Some people go even further than the Japanese.
All such people should die.
"Yunong, you did a good job on this case. We can't have enemies among us. These traitors must be completely eliminated."
After getting angry, the old man began to reward Virgo. Virgo smiled with a smile on his face and lowered his head and said, "It's all because of your good leadership, principal, that these traitors and clowns were exposed."
"No need to be modest. Xu Qingyun is good. His major has given special approval. I will immediately arrange for someone to implement it for him."
After Xu Qingyun's meritorious service, the Xu family is very close to the Chen family. Xu Qingyun has made such great contributions, and there is no problem in being promoted to major.
It's just a job rank, not a military rank.
It's true that Quan Xu's military rank was promoted, and the old man couldn't give special approval. There was no way to open the door. Quan Xu's military rank was strictly controlled by the whole party.
Although Xu Qingyun is about to be promoted to major, his Quanxu military rank is very low, only second lieutenant.
It was still the rank he had when he came in.
"Thank you principal."
The Virgo immediately thanked him, knowing that Xu Qingyun's military rank was fine, and the old man would definitely not refuse such a great contribution.
The old man is angry because of those traitors. The angrier he is, the more attention he will pay to their military intelligence department.
Military Intelligence Service, Intelligence Section.
In the conference room, Virgo was sitting at the head, Xu Zhanjie was beside him, everyone else was sitting below, and only Secretary Qi was standing at the side.
The Department of National Defense had no problem with Xu Qingyun's military rank and readily approved it for him.
The order given by the old man himself was so great that they didn't dare to do anything about it.
In addition to Xu Qingyun, there is also Fang Laibao.
He was also promoted to major.
He finally passed the hurdle from lieutenant to school officer.
If he stays in Tianjin, I don't know when he will be promoted.
"Xu Qingyun..."
The director personally read out Xu Qingyun's promotion order to major, and at the same time announced that he was promoted to deputy chief of the intelligence section.
After this moment, others can change the name.
"Xu Qingyun..."
After the two promotions were announced, Virgo took out another box. Only Xu Zhanjie knew what was going on, and even Xu Qingyun was kept hidden.
Xu Qingyun's contribution was so great this time that the old man gave him other rewards.
"In view of Xu Qingyun's outstanding contribution in counter-espionage, with special approval from the Chairman, Xu Qingyun is specially awarded a fourth-class Yunhui Medal."
The director personally awarded the medal to Xu Qingyun. When he saw the medal being taken out by him, Xu Qingyun knew that there was a medal reward this time.
This time is not the future. The Guo Party has strict control over medals. Without great merit, it is difficult to obtain medals.
The fourth-class Yunhui Medal is not high, but it is not low either. This is a reward that only school officers can receive.
The awarding of medals has clear regulations on what merits must be achieved.
Xu Qingyun's merit in receiving the medal belongs to Article 8: Those with solid evidence for uncovering an international conspiracy to disrupt the agency.
He caught enough spies, especially this time, seven spies plus more than forty traitors, enough for him to get this medal.
"Thank you, Virgo Cultivation."
Xu Qingyun received the medal and immediately saluted. The Virgo smiled with satisfaction. He came here today just to confer a title and medal on Xu Qingyun.
As for the others, it was Xu Zhanjie who came.
"Dangguo Cultivation."
The Virgo said politely, quickly returned to his seat, encouraged the Intelligence Section again and left.
When he went back, Xu Qingyun went to the rostrum with him. He had been promoted to deputy section chief and was qualified to sit on the rostrum, while the other team leaders were below.
Master and apprentice Xu Zhanjie sent Virgo away together. As soon as they came back and sat down, Xu Zhanjie looked at the people in the audience.
Thank you to the host of Laomeng, Xin Qiuyue, for once again rewarding me with 2,000 starting coins.
