Chapter 108: Successful arrest
Yan Ming has found a suspect, but the others still need to be investigated.
They don't know how many Japanese spies there are, and everyone must find out. Xu Qingyun is always on the front line to understand the progress of the investigation.
Although it is unlikely, it is still necessary to avoid investigating people who should not be investigated.
Each team is still busy. Two radio stations are installed in the hotel and three reliable professional telecommunications personnel are equipped to receive and send reports.
Ensure that they can receive telegrams from other places at any time.
Yan Ming's investigation was very quick.
Although Qiao Tiansen's business is not profitable, he has never been short of money, and his expenses and income obviously do not match up.
Yan Ming found out another important information. Qiao Tiansen had inquired about the black market and asked about the gold bar market.
A person who doesn't make money asks what gold bars are for?
His suspicion was very high. Xu Qingyun asked him to secretly take photos of Qiao Tiansen, take photos of Lu Dawang, and go to the Military Intelligence Office to ask if anyone had seen them together.
As soon as Yan Ming got the good news, there was new progress on Xu Qingshi's side.
They investigated a man who lived alone. Hangzhou took the lead in verifying that his identity was false and there was no such person in the local area.
Xu Qingshi investigated extremely carefully, learned all about him, and finally reported it.
"Brother, keep an eye on the person first. The other people on your side who are not under investigation will be separated and handed over to other teams."
Xu Qingyun gave the order decisively. If any of the five teams found a key suspect, they would immediately stop the investigation and fully monitor the suspect.
If five suspects are found, ask Xu Zhanjie for support.
The purpose of the investigation is to find them, and the priorities must be clearly distinguished.
"Okay, I'll hand over the information right away."
Xu Qingshi nodded in agreement. There are people from the intelligence department in his team who can lead them to monitor together to avoid mistakes.
This is the purpose of breaking up. It is important to ensure that each group has professionals.
After focusing on two, the progress is good so far, Xu Qingyun is more confident.
"Team leader, the identity is confirmed."
An hour after Xu Qingshi left, Yan Ming ran over happily.
The address registered by Qiao Tiansen was not in the urban area, and there was no reply from Hangzhou Station. However, using the method given by the team leader, Yan Ming successfully confirmed that Qiao Tiansen was related to Lu Dawang.
"The day before Lu Dawang's death, someone saw the two of them together. The location was the teahouse here. They had also met here before."
Yan Ming came to the map of the city and pointed to a place. It was about one kilometer away from the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department. It could be reached in ten minutes on foot, and even faster by bicycle.
The tea house is in a good location, between Qiao Tiansen's house and the Military Intelligence Office.
"Where is Qiao Tiansen now? Is there anyone at home?" Xu Qingyun asked.
"In the store, no one is home."
"Search his home."
Xu Qingyun didn't bother to analyze the data. Lu Dawang came online from Hangzhou. If this person was online, it was very likely that he was not in Nanjing. In this case, he probably had a radio station.
"yes."
Yan Ming happily replied that the two of them had been together, which could confirm Qiao Tiansen's identity.
He came to Nanjing from Hangzhou to settle down at a certain period. His business was not profitable but he spent a lot of money. He also spent time with Lu Dawang. Various signs showed that he was the spy who instigated Lu Dawang's rebellion.
Catching him will be the first shot of their four intelligence groups.
Yan Ming took Xu Qingyun to the area near Qiao Tiansen's house. A surveillance point had been set up here, and there was only one team member at this time.
The remaining two people were watching near the store.
"Team leader, I'll go in and search."
Yan Ming took the initiative to ask for orders. After thinking for a moment, Xu Qingyun nodded: "Be sure to pay attention to safety and be careful of booby traps."
Japanese spies are cunning. Although there are no Japanese spies in Tianjin to lay booby traps, they do carry grenades and must not relax their due vigilance at all times.
"Don't worry, team leader, I will definitely pay attention."
Yan Ming agreed immediately, it was not difficult to enter his house, and Yan Ming quickly climbed in.
In the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou, Seiji Ota, the intelligence team of the Super High School, walked quickly into the office of the section chief.
"Section Chief, the Hangzhou Military Intelligence Office reported internally that they are helping Nanjing conduct large-scale verifications. There are quite a few people, more than 30 people."
"For what verification?"
Section Chief Nanbu Shunji asked in surprise. Ohta Seiji lowered his head slightly: "The inside information is not clear. Nanjing only asked them to verify whether the identities of these people are true, and did not say the reasons."
The reason was stated, but only the webmaster knew it, and he would not publicize such a thing.
"Is there a verification list?" Nanbu Shunzhi asked quickly.
"Only a few, not all."
"Inform Pingchuan and ask him to hide first."
After thinking for a while, Nanbu Shunzhi immediately ordered Nanjing to verify the people in Hangzhou. He immediately thought of Pingchuan.
Pingchuan is an agent of their Hangzhou Special Higher Education Course and is in Nanjing at the moment.
Moreover, something had just happened inside the Military Intelligence Department where he had previously instigated rebellion. Although he handled it personally, he could not be careless.
"Chief, it's not contact time now. Do you want to call him directly?"
Ohta Seiji understands the seriousness of the matter. Although there is no disguised identity of Hirakawa in the insider report, regardless of whether it is for Hirakawa or not, the best response at this time is to let Hirakawa hide and lie dormant.
If not, he will show up again, if so, evacuate immediately.
"Okay, go out and make a call."
Nanbu Shunji agreed. Qiao Tiansen was the pseudonym of Hirakawa Shunlong. Regardless of the Japanese's first name or surname, in fact, those words have a high chance of repetition.
Moreover, their surnames were chosen very casually, and many Chinese people complained about them in later generations.
"Hai."
Ohta Seiji bowed his head and left. He couldn't use the Japanese concession phone to make calls, otherwise Hirakawa would be exposed if nothing happened, and he would have to go to Chinese territory.
"Team leader, we found it. There is a radio station inside. Look at this."
In Nanjing, Yan Ming ran out happily twenty minutes after entering, holding a code book in his hand.
The radio was too heavy and he didn't bring it out.
"Great, arrest them immediately."
Finding the radio station and code book is a real achievement. Catching the person will be the greatest victory.
There is a radio station, which proves that Xu Qingyun's guess is correct. He contacted the upline through the radio station. There is no need to wait any longer, not to mention that the director is watching this case. Xu Zhanjie is under great pressure and must solve the case as soon as possible.
Except for Xu Qingshi's group, everyone else received the order and immediately gathered together to close the net and arrest people.
Yan Ming only brought the code book with him. They also had their people at the surveillance point and asked him to guard Qiao Tiansen's home. He had to come back and search it carefully and take away the radio station.
The leaders of each team were very happy to learn that the Japanese spy was found. Although they were not the ones they found, they definitely had a share of the credit.
Especially Zheng Jiming, he doesn't care about rewards, as long as he can catch Japanese spies.
"Team leader, let me arrest them."
Zheng Jiming took the initiative and said that he was strong and hated the Japanese the most, and he did not want to miss the opportunity to arrest people.
"No, Fang Laibao, you take people in and find a way to arrest them. Zheng Jiming will assist you and find a suitable place. If the other person is in danger, shoot him. Don't hit his vitals."
Xu Qingyun shook his head. Zheng Jiming was brave and powerful, but his time in intelligence work was too short.
The people inside are professional agents. Fang Laibao is alert and can go in and arrest people. Yan Ming was actually the most suitable, but he came to inquire about the situation and the clerk recognized him.
Xu Qingyun understood Zheng Jiming's mood. It was important to catch people. He would let him catch Japanese spies personally if he had the opportunity in the future.
The purpose of not attacking vital parts is to leave someone alive. Lu Dawang's death was unclear. The Japanese spy was caught and the real reason for Lu Dawang's death was found out.
"You guys come with me."
Fang Laibao immediately called for someone. He was very smart and knew how to deal with the people inside.
Fang Laibao didn't have many choices, so he chose two, specially changed into silk clothes, and walked into the small grain store with the two of them.
Pingchuan is in the store, but his mind is not on business.
He is thinking about how to instigate people from the Military Intelligence Department. Now he has three targets, two of whom he has contacted, and the other party does not know his identity for the time being.
One of them took advantage of him.
Taking it once is equivalent to getting on his pirate ship. After a few more times, it will naturally be used by him.
This method was successful for Lu Dawang last time, and he decided to continue using it.
"How do you sell rice?"
Fang Laibao took the initiative to enter the store, and he had already noticed the target sitting inside.
There was a waiter in the store, but Pingchuan didn't move.
"This is our top-quality rice, which costs thirty cents per catty."
This price is not low. The clerk once gave Pingchuan a suggestion. If the price of food in the store drops slightly, if someone sells it for 28 cents per catty and they sell it for 30, the buyers will definitely go elsewhere.
Even though they only had two pennies less, people always saved as much as they could in life, and the expensive business they sold was not as good as other people's.
Pingchuan's store is just to hide his identity. Good business will take up too much of his time. He doesn't care about whether the business is good or bad, and he directly refuses the clerk's kindness.
"It's so expensive, it's a shady store." Fang Laibao's face tightened and he said displeased.
Pingchuan raised his head and took a glance, but Fang Laibao didn't even look at him.
Although Fang Laibao has not received training in intelligence, when it comes to acting, he is not bad at all.
"Everyone else sells rice at twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but it sells for thirty. Why, your rice is more expensive than others' gold?"
Before coming in, Yan Ming told Fang Laibao about the price of food in the store. Their rice was expensive. With this, he tried to find a way to lure Pingchuan out of the counter to make it easier to arrest him.
Fang Laibao took two people in, and the remaining people laid ambush around them. When they heard the signal, they immediately went in to provide support.
"Sir, how much do you want? If you want more, I can give you a discount."
The waiter was very conscientious and replied with a smile. The boss happened to be here. If the other party wanted more, ask the boss to give them a cheaper price.
"How much cheaper can it be?"
Fang Laibao's expression softened, and the clerk looked inside. Seeing that the boss didn't speak, he immediately replied: "If you want more than thirty kilograms, I'll give you twenty-eight cents per kilogram."
"It's cheap but still the same as others, why should I buy it from you? Twenty-five cents per catty, I want five stones."
Fang Laibao shook his head and said, one stone is more than a hundred kilograms, and the other party wants five stones, so he is definitely a big customer.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask the boss to come out."
The boy stopped making the decision on his own and ran to Pingchuan. Whether Pingchuan wanted to or not, he would come in person.
"Are you the boss?"
Fang Laibao looked at Pingchuan, his head slightly tilted. Pingchuan noticed that the material of his clothes was very good.
He looked carefully at Noble's skin below.
Fang Laibao used to be a prison guard, and he did similar work in the Military Intelligence Department. He had never done any heavy work, and he was fair and tender.
Pingchuan was relieved, there was indeed a wealthy family in front of him, but he was very good at bargaining.
His grain is wholesaled at Yahang, which only supplies them and does not sell bulk goods. Twenty-five cents is close to his wholesale price, but he still makes a profit.
"Yes, if you want five stones, twenty-five cents per catty will do."
Pingchuan smiled and clasped his fists. He didn't want to waste time. As long as he didn't lose money, he would give it to them.
"That's it for the rice. You're responsible for delivering it, and I'll look at the rest."
Fang Laibao looked very satisfied and continued to move forward. The store not only had rice, but also millet, sorghum, flour, soybeans and so on.
His purpose is to get close to Pingchuan.
As soon as he left, the two people following behind him walked inside together.
Both of them came from Tianjin, Zuo Jinfang was among them.
Lu Dawang is a traitor. Fang Laibao is worried that the Japanese spies know about the intelligence department personnel, so he dare not bring anyone from the headquarters.
If they want to arrest people, Zuo Jinfang and the others can definitely do it.
Fang Laibao walked past Pingchuan. Pingchuan instinctively leaned back, but he was already approached by them.
"Arrest people."
When the two people behind him approached, Fang Laibao suddenly shouted. Zuo Jinfang and Zuo Jinfang immediately hugged Pingchuan. People outside heard the shout and rushed in immediately.
Zuo Jinfang firmly held Pingchuan's collar, while another person controlled his hands behind his back. After the others came in, Pingchuan's hands and feet were immediately held down. Someone took out a rope and tied him up quickly.
The man was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he didn't dare to move.
After controlling the man, Zuo Jinfang tore off his collar.
Xu Qingyun has already walked in.
"Team leader, there is something inside."
When it was buckled, Zuo Jin was aware of the softness inside. Xu Qingyun had his collar cut open, revealing a bit of white powder inside.
This is a ruthless person.
Nanjing is unlike Tianjin and Hangzhou, where there are Japanese concessions and their own people can support them. Nanjing is Chinese territory. When Pingchuan came to perform the task, the section chief asked him to carry poison with him.
The section chief said that he hoped he would never need it, but he must have it. If something goes wrong, he would take care of himself to avoid falling into the hands of the Chinese and suffering.
They had tortured Chinese people and knew very well how terrible torture tools were.
"Yan Ming, take some people to stay and see if any suspicious people come to inquire about the situation. The others will come back with me."
Xu Qingyun ordered, they were arresting people in the store, there was a lot of noise, someone would definitely know.
The person left behind was in case Qiao Tiansen had an accomplice and came to check on the situation.
Only Yan Ming is the most suitable person for this job. He is very good at inquiring about various situations, and he can also tell whether someone is deliberately inquiring or someone who is just gossiping.
Xu Qingyun took Fang Laibao and others and took Qiao Tiansen and his gang away together.
The guy most likely didn't know, but he had been with the spy for so long, so he had to be taken back for questioning.
At the Military Intelligence Headquarters, Xu Zhanjie was stunned for a moment when he received the call.
After the operation was successful, Xu Qingyun called to report the situation.
Only then did he know that Xu Qingyun had found the person and successfully captured him, and even found the radio station and code book.
Code book?
Xu Zhanjie got the code book in TJ City, but the case belonged to Tianjin, and he was just supervising the case.
This time it was really a case belonging to their intelligence department. After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhanjie couldn't sit still and immediately walked out to pick up Xu Qingyun at the gate.
Yesterday's update, Xiaoyu did not save the manuscript, so I rewrote this chapter. The update is a bit late. Friends, please forgive me and I will continue to update it tomorrow.
