Chapter 105 What a blessing
Tianjin, morning.
Xu Qingshi came to Beidaguan alone, sat on the roadside, eating breakfast, and glanced at the row of low houses next to him from time to time.
After breakfast, he turned and left.
The gentleman hasn't come back yet.
A feeling of melancholy arose in his heart. His husband left years ago. It has been almost three months and there has been no news yet. He is worried that his husband may have had an accident.
He is going to Nanjing soon. If Mr. comes back, he will definitely know where he is going.
The change of police chief is a big deal. He is the captain, and his movements can be easily found out.
What's more, he didn't keep it secret at all. At this time, almost everyone in the police station knew that he was about to be transferred to Nanjing and might become the deputy director of the branch.
Some of his former colleagues envied him.
Nanjing is the capital and has greater development potential. Xu Qingshi is now the deputy director of the training department. Any promotion will be a big profit for him.
In terms of actual power, the deputy director is not as good as his previous position as team leader, but he is hundreds of times more powerful than the deputy director of the training department.
In terms of development prospects, the deputy director of the Nanjing Branch has greater potential in the future.
Some people even came over to ask Qiu Feng how he accomplished the transfer, and whether he could help his brothers and bring them over.
Xu Qingshi did not reveal the reason for his transfer, keeping it a secret for his younger brother.
He didn't have many friends in the police station, so he left with Wang Jiansheng who was on good terms. These people were all for their own selfish reasons, and they were of high rank. Xu Qingyun didn't have the energy to help them operate, so he didn't need to talk too much to them.
"Director Wang, thank you."
After going to work in the morning, Xu Zhanjie received a phone call not long after and laughed.
Xu Qingshi's matter is done.
As early as Xu Qingyun made this request, he sent a telegram to Nanjing. When he came back, he immediately went to see Director Wang of the Police Department in person. Today he got the good news.
He is the chief of the intelligence section, supervising the military and police. He is just a deputy director of the branch. Director Wang will not discredit him.
Sure enough, a place was found for him in just one day.
Deputy Director of the Western Suburbs Branch.
There are many branches in Nanjing, and the best ones are the four in the city, but the relationship is complicated.
It's a little further out in the western suburbs, with only a little territory in the city, and not many people pay attention to it.
"Qingyun."
Xu Zhanjie came directly to Xu Qingyun's office. Seeing him, Xu Qingyun stood up hurriedly.
He is studying how to investigate. This large-scale investigation requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and must be planned in advance.
"Teacher, why are you here? If you need anything, just call me."
Xu Qingyun hurriedly asked him to sit down on the sofa. Xu Zhanjie glanced at the sofa and frowned.
"What do you want to eat, Old Wu? I asked him to provide you with some good furniture, so just give me this?"
Old Wu is Wu Yong, the old man in the department and the chief of the general affairs section.
They have a good relationship. All furniture in the office is purchased through the General Affairs Department. These must be items sent by the General Affairs Department.
"Teacher, these are very good, it doesn't matter."
Xu Qingyun smiled and took out a thermos bottle to make tea for Xu Zhanjie. As soon as he arrived in the morning, Fang Laibao filled Xu Qingyun with water.
"I'm here to tell you good news. Your brother's matter has been settled. Unfortunately, it's the Western Suburbs Bureau. Don't worry, let him go there first and make some achievements. I will definitely help him transfer to a better place in the future."
Nanjing has many departments and complex relationships. Unless you have extremely strong relationships, it is difficult to get a particularly good position when you first arrive.
It is indeed the best way to come here first and make adjustments later.
"Thank you, teacher."
Xu Qingyun felt happy. His real age was not twenty, and he knew exactly what this transfer meant.
It is not easy to maintain the rank after being transferred.
"You are my master and disciple, you are welcome."
Xu Zhanjie was in a good mood. He finally did something for a student. Since he accepted this student, almost all students have been helping him. He has not really helped Xu Qingyun.
As for the military rank, it is easy to get promoted by making great achievements.
"Teacher, you came just in time. I have some ideas now and I will report them to you first..."
Xu Qingyun slowly revealed his unfinished plan. Although he was investigating one person, this person might be a spy and was very important.
If he can be found, Lu Dawang's identity and cause of death can be found out.
"Troubleshooting?"
Xu Zhanjie was extremely surprised after hearing this. How did his student's little head grow? Although it sounded a bit incredible, it was undeniable that it was indeed a good idea.
"How can you check if you don't have anyone?" Xu Zhanjie thought of the key.
"Teacher, I want Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming to come back first, and then recruit a few reliable members of the intelligence department. If my brother comes, his people can also help. The number of people doesn't need to be too many. The main reason is that the work is cumbersome."
Xu Qingyun expressed his thoughts. He was checking everyone, mainly those who came to Hangzhou last year and settled in Nanjing.
If the party's household registration system is relatively strict, temporary residence also requires formalities.
This provides convenience to Xu Qingyun.
"Just do as you say."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhanjie nodded. Lu Dawang was dead, but Xu Zhanjie could not guarantee that there would not be another Lu Dawang in their intelligence department.
Therefore, the people involved in the case must be reliable.
Xu Qingyun's own men must be fine. The people brought by his brother are all confidants, and they have not been in Nanjing before, so they are equally trustworthy.
Then select a group of reliable people and form a crime-solving team to find this mouse.
"Thank you teacher for your support."
Xu Qingyun lowered his head and thanked him. Xu Zhanjie looked at him and felt even more emotional.
The clues were broken and there was no direction. Xu Qingyun suddenly found a new direction. Sure enough, he was born to eat this bowl of rice. How lucky he was to have such a student.
"Actually, I was inspired by Fang Laibao. He specifically mentioned yesterday that if Lu Dawang was instigated to rebel in Hangzhou, his online presence should also be in Nanjing, so I thought of this."
Xu Qingyun never takes credit, it should be the credit of his subordinates, he will never take it on himself.
"Fang Laibao is good, he is a talented person."
Xu Zhanjie nodded. He had no impression of Fang Laibao, but judging from these incidents, Fang Laibao was indeed very good.
The students are great and the subordinates are excellent. He believes that the fourth intelligence team will definitely bring him different surprises in the future.
The investigation should not be rushed. After sending Xu Zhanjie away, Xu Qingyun continued to make plans and found out all possible situations, problems, and difficulties in advance.
Avoid wasting time on these things later.
However, he understood that no matter how much he thought about it, the most important thing was investigation. It was impossible to anticipate every situation, and he would have to improvise accordingly.
In Tianjin, Xu Qingshi received a call from the Military Intelligence Department.
Wu Shaoshu called him personally to tell him the good news.
His work in Nanjing has been confirmed, and the deputy director of the Western Suburbs Branch will report within seven days. However, Xu Qingyun asked him for help and asked him to take people out as soon as possible.
Last year, the Kuomintang government began to build a long-distance telephone network, which has been opened in Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places.
Nanjing was too far away from Tianjin, and there were no long-distance calls at this time, so only telegrams could be sent.
"Thank you, Station Manager Wu."
Xu Qingshi hung up the phone. Since his brother asked him for help, he must leave immediately.
Inform all subordinates to gather at the train station.
After taking his luggage with him, Xu Qingshi closed the door and walked around the city of Tianjin before leaving. Mainly Beidaguan.
After taking one last look at the house, Xu Qingshi rushed to the train station.
In Nanjing, Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming came to Xu Qingyun's office.
They were in Nanjing for special training. They just entered yesterday, but they were notified today to report first.
I’ll make up for it after special training.
Xu Qingyun was short of manpower and they had no time to train. Fortunately, the two of them were police officers and had a certain foundation.
"team leader."
Zheng Jiming shouted first, and Zuo Jinfang patted him on the head: "Call the team leader, we are not the police now."
He was right, including Xu Qingyun, their police status was gone.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault, team leader."
Zheng Jiming grinned. Like Fang Laibao, he took the initiative to find Xu Qingyun and followed him.
The fourth intelligence team, the four of them are his direct descendants.
"I asked you to come here because there is a case to be handled."
Xu Qingyun didn't talk nonsense to them and immediately asked them to go to various police stations to investigate the people who came to Nanjing from Hangzhou and settled in Nanjing between August and October last year.
It doesn’t matter whether you left or not, you have to check everything.
"I will send someone to cooperate with you. This mission is a bit tiring. Thank you for your hard work."
After arranging the tasks, Xu Qingyun comforted them, and the two of them shook their heads together: "Team leader, check the information, how can you be tired? Don't worry, we will do a good job."
Having a task is better than training, which is much more boring.
"Go ahead."
The two of them had to go through the formalities first and get their Military Intelligence Certificates.
They have no military rank and no assigned duties. They are temporarily investigating the case as ordinary team members. Their military status and other things will be handled for them later.
In addition to the two of them, there is also Fang Laibao.
Fang Laibao led the team, and Xu Qingyun selected two people from each of the first, second and third groups.
They are the team leader's close confidants, their families are in Nanjing, and they usually hate the Japanese. Xu Qingyun talked to them before performing the mission, and they were confirmed before they were officially used.
Lu Dawang was exposed, but no one could guarantee that there were no other moles in the intelligence department.
In order to avoid being discovered by the traitor, this mission cannot use too many people from the intelligence department.
Xu Zhanjie agreed to all Xu Qingyun's plan.
At the same time, Xu Qingshi boarded the train with his men in Tianjin, preparing to start a new life in Nanjing.
"Team Leader Xu."
In the afternoon, a team leader came from the General Affairs Department. He came in and smiled and nodded.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that there was someone behind him and moving in with a sofa, Xu Qingyun stood up in a hurry and asked.
"I'm really sorry. I made a mistake at work and sent you a bad sofa. I will replace it for you now."
When Xu Zhanjie returned to the office in the morning, he dismissed Wu Yong, the chief of the general affairs section. Xu Qingyun was his proud disciple, so he was given such furniture?
Wu Yong apologized repeatedly, hung up the phone, and called his men over to scold him, asking them to come and replace Xu Qingyun's furniture as soon as possible.
They sent people out to buy them in the morning and replaced them in the afternoon, which was very efficient.
In addition to sofas, there are chairs, tables, etc.
This time, everything provided for Xu Qingyun was good. The sofa was no longer made of wood, but a soft and comfortable leather sofa.
The people in the General Affairs Department left after changing, while Xu Qingyun was a little dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that Xu Zhanjie could even do such a small thing so quickly.
However, a leather sofa is indeed more comfortable to sit on than a hard solid wood sofa.
Little did he know that Xu Zhanjie couldn't help much with the case, and seeing that Xu Qingyun was making rapid progress, he thought of making up for it in other ways, so as to at least put Xu Qingyun in a good mood when handling the case.
Anyway, it's public property, and he doesn't pay for it, so of course it wants the best.
In Wuxing County, Yan Ming walked out of a house with a smile and got directly into the car.
There were two other people in the car, helpers specially arranged for him by Xu Qingyun, one from the Operations Department and the other from the General Affairs Department.
The people in the Operations Section are thugs. Wuxing is not far from Nanjing, but there is no peace on the road. Safety is the first priority.
There are bandits and road bullies everywhere these days. It's really hard to do without a small number of people. If there are more people, there will be help.
People in the general affairs department drive cars and repair cars.
Cars these days are very expensive. If they break down on the road, they are not as good as horse-drawn carriages. The people from the General Affairs Department followed mainly to prevent the cars from breaking down.
"Let's go back first."
Yan Ming said softly, he had only been here for a short time, but he had already asked about everything that should be asked.
Lu Dawang’s family did receive a lot of remittances.
This year they bought ten acres of paddy field, and their life is much better than before.
Lu Dawang's younger brothers and sisters are all in school, which is Lu Dawang's request.
He sends money every month so that his family does not have to worry about money.
Yan Ming went to the post office. Judging from the post office alone, he didn't send much money, but he did come back during the Chinese New Year.
Soon after he left, the family bought new fields.
The price of ten acres of fertile land is not low. Yan Ming found out their purchase price, which was six hundred oceans.
Each mu of paddy field is equivalent to sixty yuan.
The price of paddy fields in the south is indeed high, and it would be cheaper during the war, but ordinary people still cannot easily buy it. You must know that the biggest wish of many Chinese people during this period was to own a few acres of thin fields, and then have their wives and children warm up to the kang.
Lu Dawang only sends 18 yuan a month. He doesn't work long hours. How can they get so much money? Now it can be confirmed that Lu Dawang did have extra income, but he did not take it home through the post office during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Dawang has a problem, but he needs orders from above on how to treat his family.
Yan Ming knew that as long as Lu Dawang's money came from improper sources, they would not be able to keep the land they bought.
It's a pity that his younger brothers and sisters would not be able to continue studying in the future without Lu Dawang.
Yan Ming wanted to go back and report first and let the team leader make the decision.
Headed by Fang Laibao, assisted by Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming, and with six other members of the Intelligence Section, they have begun targeting people who came to settle in Nanjing from Hangzhou.
The information they wanted to check was at the police station, but there was too much information.
Fortunately, you can only check between August and October.
In three months, Xu Qingyun asked them to take two steps.
First, look for data from August 15th to September 15th, which is a month.
Lu Dawang arrived in Nanjing in mid-August and bought the newspaper at the end of August.
It is very likely that his contact person arrived in Nanjing later and used newspapers to contact him.
Everything is not absolute. If the person cannot be found during this time period, the same investigation must be carried out in other time periods.
It was shortened to less than a month and the workload was reduced a lot.
Even if the scope is reduced, there is still a lot of information to be checked. Fortunately, there are local restrictions. People from Hangzhou and Zhejiang Province pay special attention, especially to Hangzhou. Every piece of information must be read clearly. People who live alone must be pulled out immediately for real-person interviews. Verify.
The third update, additional updates, will continue to be updated tomorrow.
