Chapter 106 Smoke is coming from the ancestral grave
It’s a new day, the sun is shining brightly, and the spring flowers are blooming.
There are many trees planted in the yard of the Military Intelligence Headquarters, and the fragrance of flowers overflows, bringing with it the sweetness of spring.
"Team leader, I'm back."
After Yan Ming got off the car, he went straight to Xu Qingyun's office. The one on the first floor was the fastest.
"Thank you for your hard work. Drink some water first."
Xu Qingyun stood up, and Yan Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw the brand new leather sofa. He immediately walked over and sat on it and bounced it under his butt a few times.
"Team leader, when did you get a new sofa? It's so comfortable."
"I just changed it yesterday. How did you go to Lu Dawang's house to check?"
Yan Ming saw Xu Qingyun trying to pour water for him and quickly grabbed the thermos bottle.
"A lot of things were found. Lu Dawang has a lot of money. From last year to this year, the Lu family has changed a lot."
Yan Ming poured water and said that the Lu family used to be very poor, especially when Lu Dawang's father became ill once and could no longer support him in school. After that, Lu Dawang helped at home and occasionally went to the town to write letters for people to make money.
His gift of memory was discovered by passers-by in the town and later became known to Military Intelligence.
The Lu family used to be poor, but things changed dramatically in the second half of last year.
According to neighbors, the Lu family began to eat meat last fall, and they had even better food during the Chinese New Year. There was no shortage of beef, sheep, chicken, fish, and all kinds of meat. The Lu family explained to the outside world that their eldest son had a good job and could support the family.
People in the village are envious of their family.
A bully once bullied them and extorted some money. When Lu Dawang went home during the Chinese New Year, the bully disappeared.
After that, no one dared to offend the Lu family.
The Lu family not only renovated the original dilapidated house, but also bought cattle, sheep and pigs to raise. This year they bought ten acres of paddy field.
Based on their expenses, Yan Ming did a simple calculation. In the past six months, the Lu family had spent more than 800 yuan.
It's simply impossible to do it with Lu Dawang's salary.
Lu Dawang had a major problem. Xu Qingyun knew it before Yan Ming came back. These are supporting evidence.
"Is he going home alone during the New Year?" Xu Qingyun asked.
"I asked several people, but he was the only one, but he came back with a gun."
Yan Ming nodded, the members of the intelligence department were equipped with guns, and the guns at this time were far less strictly controlled than in later generations.
Lu Dawang took the gun back and showed it to his family. His brother showed it off to the outside world, letting Yan Ming know about it.
"What to do with Lu Dawang's family will be discussed later. You have just come back. Unfortunately, there is no time for you to rest. You need to make another hard trip to Anqing."
Xu Qingyun gave Yan Ming a new task.
Gong Zhaolin's situation must be verified clearly to make sure he is not lying. Yan Ming is most suitable for this kind of investigation.
"Team leader, I'm fine. What should I check?"
The water in front of Yan Ming was a bit hot, and he kept blowing it. After drinking the water, he left, but he hadn't put down his luggage anyway.
"This is Gong Zhaolin's confession and circumstances. Go and check whether what he said is true."
Xu Qingyun gave him Gong Zhaolin's information. After the case was solved, Yan Ming and Fang Laibao all contributed.
I have been working hard since I arrived in Nanjing, it can be said that it is non-stop.
"I'm going to the dock now."
The most suitable way to go to Anqing is by water. There are many boats from Nanjing to Anqing, and the boat ride is very fast.
"Take someone with you."
Xu Qingyun ordered that since he was not driving this time, the people borrowed from the General Affairs Department could let him go back first, and the people from the Operations Department would continue to follow.
"Thank you, team leader."
The water was cold and Yan Ming drank it in one gulp. The poor member of the Operations Department had just returned to report when Yan Ming called him out again.
The Operations Section has always cooperated with the Intelligence Section, but this time it was an order from a superior and had to be obeyed.
The two of them took a rickshaw and headed to the pier.
Yan Ming left when he came back, leaving Xu Qingyun alone in the fourth intelligence team.
"Team Leader Xu."
At noon, Xu Qingyun went to the cafeteria to get food. People from other teams in the Intelligence Section saw him and greeted him one after another.
Even though Xu Qingyun came late, he is already quite famous.
Many people in the Intelligence Department knew that Xu Qingyun was leading Lu Dawang's case, and even their team leader had to cooperate.
On his first day here, Gong Zhaolin was severely beaten, and now his life or death is uncertain.
They could have gone to see Gong Zhaolin before. After the torture, Gong Zhaolin's custody level suddenly increased. Without Xu Qingyun or Xu Zhanjie's permission, even other team leaders could not see Gong Zhaolin.
Not even allowed to send anything in.
Except for a few people he had met before when asked, Xu Qingyun did not know the others and only responded with a smile.
One day later, Xu Qingyun drove to the train station.
He used two cars. When he learned that Xu Qingshi was coming to Nanjing soon, Xu Zhanjie specially approved another car for him.
Xu Qingshi brought so many people that one car could not accommodate them.
"elder brother."
On the platform, Xu Qingyun quickly saw people and waved immediately. Xu Qingshi was riding in a second-class carriage. Everyone who came this time was in a second-class carriage, and he paid for the tickets.
"Qingyun."
Xu Qingshi walked over quickly. The dispatch telegram had arrived in Tianjin, and the documents he was going to report were in Xu Qingyun's hands.
"Brother, let's talk about it after we get in the car."
Xu Qingyun smiled, and a young man following Xu Qingshi bowed and saluted Xu Qingyun: "Hello, young master."
He is from the Xu family and has been helping Xu Qingshi.
At this time, he felt the most emotional.
I originally thought that Xu Qingshi would be the pillar of the Xu family in the future. After all, the captain's position was not small. Xu Qingshi was young and had a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Who would have thought that Wang Jiansheng's sudden departure would implicate Xu Qingshi.
The east is not bright but the west is bright. Xu Qingyun, the younger brother who was originally cared for by Xu Qingshi, actually made a name for himself in the Military Intelligence Department and was transferred to Nanjing. He even helped his brother get the position of deputy chief of the Nanjing police station.
Now it seems that the young master may develop better than the eldest master in the future.
He is almost ten years younger than the eldest young master.
The Xu family's ancestral tomb was finally covered in smoke.
As a group of people got on the bus, Xu Qingyun arranged for the others to enter the hotel first, and then he took his brother back home.
"Brother, you need to rest for two days, and then I'll send you to report."
My brother has been on the train for such a long time. Even if the second-class seat is more comfortable, he is still very tired.
Today's trains are not sleepers, and you need to sleep on your stomach.
"Don't you need my help with something?"
Xu Qingshi looked at his brother's new home and asked immediately after hearing what he said.
"There's something going on. There's no rush now. You can rest first."
Xu Qingyun smiled and arranged a room for him. His brothers would definitely live together. After his job was stable, the police station would provide him with housing.
After all, he is the deputy director, so he can't even have a place to live.
"I'm not that delicate. Your business is important. What is it?"
Xu Qingshi knew his brother. Since he said he wanted to help, he must be on business. He was young and could not be tired. "Let's go eat first, and I'll tell you when we get back."
The case is complicated. Xu Qingshi is not from the Military Intelligence Department, so there is no need to tell him all the circumstances. Just ask him to help find Japanese spies.
Xu Qingshi joined the police station. Although it was a branch, it was still a system. There would be no problems if he came forward to investigate.
"This is a small matter. I have been in the police station for many years and know the inside ways. Don't worry, I will help you find out."
After Xu Qingshi learned about the situation, he immediately said that his brother's job was more important than his now, and he would cooperate fully with the investigation of Japanese spies.
"Thank you, brother."
Xu Qingyun smiled and said that the brothers drank some wine in the evening and went to bed early.
Xu Qingshi took the train for two days and was indeed very tired.
In the morning, Xu Qingshi went to the western suburbs police station alone without letting Xu Qingyun send him off.
My younger brother is working on a case. Time is important. Reporting is not a big deal. He can do it by himself.
He first went through the onboarding process and then arranged his staff.
Xu Qingshi is a deputy. After his subordinates come in, they will not be able to have a good position like before. They come in first and then make arrangements slowly in the future.
Xu Qingshi was personally arranged by the director, and no one dared to neglect him. However, it was impossible for a deputy like him to come in by air and have great power when he first came in.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention a department like the police station.
Xu Qingshi didn't care. After completing the entry procedures, he immediately helped his subordinates join the company.
After joining the company, they had the status to help Xu Qingyun.
There were eight people, but the director did not embarrass him and signed in agreement.
The director is the director of the department, and he has received orders long ago to cooperate with Xu Qingshi. Xu Qingshi is a person arranged by the Military Intelligence Department. He has a strong background and cannot be offended.
However, he came from out of town and brought only eight people with him, so he could not threaten the director's position.
The director has worked in Nanjing for many years and has a good background and connections.
Only if he is not bad and has a strong background, he will not go to the western suburbs to become the director.
After the onboarding was completed, Xu Qingshi immediately led people to join the verification team. There were nine more of them, doubling the number of verification people. They were police officers and knew how to rummage through the information, making it more efficient.
They worked in groups of two, one each from the Military Intelligence Department and Xu Qingshi. They were almost buried in their archives and did not come out at all except to eat and use the toilet.
Yan Ming came back just as quickly. Nanjing is not far from Anqing, and it only takes less than a day by boat.
Come back faster.
"Team leader, everything Gong Zhaolin said is consistent. His family has a good reputation for him. They all thought he was a high official in Nanjing."
Yan Ming came to the office to report that Gong Zhaolin's family was ordinary, better than Lu Dawang's family.
For such common people, if their family members can work for the government in Nanjing, they are high officials in their hearts.
"It seems he didn't lie."
Xu Qingyun said softly that since Gong Zhaolin did not lie, his explanation can be believed.
His current fate has a lot to do with Lu Dawang, but he also has problems of his own. He knew the confidentiality regulations but leaked information to others. He could even be executed during wartime.
Even now, his punishment will not be low.
But at least he doesn't have to die.
How to punish him was something that Xu Zhanjie considered. Xu Qingyun did not ask again. The clues provided by Gong Zhaolin were limited. It was just that Lu Dawang returned home and hurriedly took things from behind the cabinet.
The technical department has tested the ingredients.
It was the residue left by the tape, and it was medical tape. Xu Qingyun asked them to compare it with the tape used in the medical department, and it was finally confirmed that it did come from them.
Lu Dawang had been injured before, received treatment in the medical department, and had the tape taken away.
At present, there are almost no clues on Lu Dawang's side. It depends on the effectiveness of the police station's investigation.
"Team leader, I heard that they have gone out to handle the case. Let me go too."
Yan Ming suddenly said, and Xu Qingyun immediately looked at him: "You just came back, how did you know they were handling the case."
"I had a few chats with the sentries when I came back, that's what they said."
Even though Yan Ming had only been at the headquarters a few times, he already knew people he was familiar with.
"Go and rest first. They don't need your help for the time being. You can go back when you have clues."
Xu Qingyun shook his head helplessly. Fang Laibao and the others were coming in and out, but they couldn't hide it from the sentry.
Good thing the Sentinels didn't know what they were doing.
The mission was kept very secret, and they were even allowed to live together to prevent outsiders from spying on them.
Xu Zhanjie gave them special permission to rent a small hotel in the city center, and even people from the police station stayed there temporarily to facilitate their investigation.
"Team leader, we have completed the investigation. Do you have time to come over?"
At noon the next day, Fang Laibao called. In order to keep confidentiality, Xu Qingyun told him that he would go over after the investigation was completed and there was no need to go back to the headquarters to report.
The investigation is only the first step, and the next step is investigation. They have many people from the police station, and it is not suitable to come back for a meeting.
For four consecutive days, they identified all the people who came to Nanjing from Hangzhou and settled down in that month last year.
Sixty-nine people in total.
There weren't many people.
After all, they have many screening conditions, including coming from Hangzhou, a specific time, and finally living alone.
If you calculate it this way, sixty-nine people are already quite a lot.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyun stood up. After completing the investigation, he would then conduct an investigation to see if the person he was looking for was among the sixty-nine people.
They are busy, and Xu Qingyun has not been idle these days either.
Xu Zhanjie personally went to Hangzhou and scheduled 20 students in this batch, all of whom were the best students. After they graduated, they would be assigned to the fourth intelligence group to supplement Xu Qingyun's strength.
Before these twenty people come in, Xu Qingyun will conduct an audit on them.
Xu Zhanjie was in Hangzhou, while Xu Qingyun personally visited the Nanjing Police Station, the garrison and other places, looked through their information, and selected outstanding personnel to supplement his four intelligence teams.
They have not received special agent training, and like Zuo Jinfang, they must receive special training after joining.
For several days, Xu Qingyun finally selected twenty people and sent them for special training.
We don't need them now. Some of them are scouts and some are experts in solving crimes in the police station.
But without special training, they are not real agents.
The Intelligence Section is not an Action Section, as long as you have strong operational capabilities. The work of the Intelligence Section is more tedious, and the things that need attention are far more than those of the Action Section.
Now Xu Qingyun can use the same manpower that was responsible for investigation before.
The hotel is not big and does not have a conference room.
Xu Qingshi asked someone to clear out a large shop, put in tables and chairs, and temporarily used it as their meeting room.
When Xu Qingyun arrived, others were already waiting inside.
"Qingyun."
Xu Qingshi got up first. After reporting in, he had not been to the Xijiao Branch once. He and his people have been here to assist in handling cases.
Xu Zhanjie had already issued a secondment order to the police station, and the procedures were completely compliant. Besides, Xu Qingshi had just arrived, and the people in the police station didn't care whether he was there or not.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Xu Qingyun walked in, he noticed that everyone had a tired look on their faces.
There is too much information to read, and they must be careful not to miss anything. They go to the police station to check the information every morning and come back very late at night. They have to work intensively for several days in a row, which is really tiring.
