Chapter 115 No offline
You know, there are only three people in the fourth intelligence team now.
Three people not only found four photo studios, but also conducted a round of investigation and discovered the suspect who showed up. How is it possible?
"Chief Miao, I asked the police station to borrow a few people, and also asked people from other groups who helped last time to come over. It's not just the three of them."
Xu Qingyun explained that he didn't say anything when he borrowed someone. The intelligence department was most taboo about making random inquiries. The three team leaders didn't know the situation, so they didn't report it.
They even think that the higher authorities already know.
"I see."
Miao Feng nodded slightly. It was normal for someone to help. The three of them had done so much. Miao Feng couldn't believe it.
"What are you going to do?"
Miao Feng did not give random instructions and asked directly. The suspect was discovered and investigated by Xu Qingyun. He only knows a general idea now and does not know the details.
"Keep an eye on the police, quickly check the suspect areas, and look for Liu Qiaosheng at the same time."
Xu Qingyun has a plan. After reporting it, he can mobilize other personnel to launch a large-scale search.
"No problem, I'll ask them to come over and cooperate fully."
"Section Chief Xie Miao."
Xu Qingyun lowered his head and thanked him. After capturing Pingchuan last time, he confirmed that there was no one in the Intelligence Department who could instigate rebellion in Hangzhou.
Xu Zhanjie then asked him to screen the personnel within the Intelligence Department again, and also asked the Operations Department for help in investigating everyone's family situation.
Avoid people who are incited to rebel.
According to the last internal inspection, the Intelligence Department has no problems for the time being.
If so, it can only be said that he hid it too deeply.
This time, they will not make the same mistake as last time. They will not give the person they are staring at a chance to escape. As long as the person they are staring at comes out, they will arrange for people to come before and after them, including possible intersections.
Deploying more manpower is better than having the spy escape.
Miao Feng acted vigorously and immediately asked the three team leaders to come over for a meeting. There were only five of them in the conference room.
"Team Leader Xu has found new clues and asked him to tell you."
Miao Feng sat in the first place, and Xu Zhanjie was away, so he was the one who made the decision in the Intelligence Department.
The three of them immediately looked at Xu Qingyun.
Xu Qingyun found new clues?
"The situation now is like this..."
There is no need for the three team leaders to hide it. If they are really instigated by the Japanese, even if a spy escapes, it will be a victory if they can be found.
Traitors are too harmful, especially in such an important position, there must be no problems.
The more the three of them heard, the more shocked they became. They knew that Xu Qingyun had borrowed someone two days ago. The six of them had been away and had not come back. They had no chance to ask.
But in just a few days, Xu Qingyun used the stopped case to focus on two more suspects, and one of them was basically identified?
How did he do this?
When Xu Qingyun finished speaking, Miao Feng looked at the three of them and said slowly: "Liu Qiaosheng is the most important. We already have his photo and general area. We will use the photo to search in this area. In addition, the suspect from the police station Man, arrange for ten people to keep an eye on him."
"No one is allowed to act alone when tracking people. Two people must go to the toilet together. They are not allowed to leave until the end of the mission to avoid leakage of intelligence."
We suffered a loss last time, so we can’t learn the same lesson this time. It’s okay to be stricter, but the most important thing is not to make mistakes.
"yes."
The three of them took the order together. No matter how Xu Qingyun found the person, letting them participate in the case was equivalent to giving them a share of the credit.
They need this favor.
After assigning the tasks, Miao Feng quickly announced the adjournment of the meeting, and the three team leaders went to inform their subordinates to prepare for this operation.
The entire intelligence department was mobilized, and the manpower problem was solved instantly.
The number of police officers alone was ten.
Xiang Jason personally led the team to execute it.
Fang Laibao even sent a team to investigate. The team leader led everyone to investigate the people around the photo studio. The scope could be expanded a lot.
The second group and the remaining people cooperated with Xu Qingyun. Liu Qiaosheng was the most important and found him first.
The photos have been developed. Many photos have been developed. Liu Qiaosheng's photos were divided and he took the photos to the area designated by Yan Ming to inquire.
First ask the local ruffians, beggars and the like.
They know the situation best.
Next is the patrol police. Ask the low-level patrol police. Even if the spy is pretending or instigating rebellion, he will generally not choose someone with too low a rank.
The level is too low and what you can do is limited.
Finally, he asked the surrounding residents, including the old residents, with threats to prevent them from speaking nonsense to outsiders.
The Intelligence Section moved into action, and Miao Feng took Xu Qingyun to the temporary headquarters outside.
This is Liu Qiaosheng's activity area, he is the most important.
"Team... Section Chief Miao, Team Leader, found it."
Not long after, Yan Ming came over excitedly, and they found Liu Qiaosheng, who lived not far away.
And his name here is not Liu Qiaosheng, but another name.
If you look for him by the name Liu Qiaosheng, you won't be able to find him at all, but you will be in danger of being exposed.
No wonder he doesn't let anyone know where he lives.
Xu Qingyun looked at Miao Feng. Miao Feng was not Xu Zhanjie, so he should be given the respect he deserved.
Miao Feng nodded slightly.
"Where is the person now?"
Xu Qingyun asked immediately, and Yan Ming replied: "At home, someone saw him returning home but not coming out."
"What time does he usually call?"
Xu Qingyun asked again, he could forcibly arrest him at home, but Japanese spies were cruel, and there had been accidents when they were arrested in Tianjin. Liu Qiaosheng was very important, and he might know the whereabouts of other Japanese spies.
Must be captured alive.
"It will probably be in the afternoon, probably soon."
"Wait for him to come out. I'll ambush him on the road and arrest him. If he doesn't go out, I'll find a way to lure him out."
Xu Qingyun ordered that the person must be arrested, and the arrest could not be delayed for too long. With a large-scale investigation, it would be easy for the news to leak out. Once he learned about it, he would most likely escape.
Xu Qingyun had previously deduced that he was one of the people who directly received orders from Shanghai, and there was probably no one above him.
There is no need to monitor all the time.
"yes."
Yan Ming took the order. Xu Qingyun couldn't see Liu Qiaosheng's home, so just wait patiently.
More than an hour later, Liu Qiaosheng finally went out. He was wearing a Chinese gown and a hat. He looked around when he went out.
He is a careful person.
Yan Ming had been watching him secretly. When he passed the ambush point, Yang Wenxu, the leader of the second group, took action himself and five people held him down at the same time.
Yang Wenxu immediately grabbed his collar.
Pingchuan, who was captured by the fourth intelligence team before, had poison in his body. The job of a spy is the most important. If he dies, he will not only have no credit, but will have a fault.
He cared about this very much.
"Chief Miao, Team Leader Xu, caught."
This time Yan Ming did not come to report. He went to search Liu Qiaosheng's home and gave the opportunity to report to Yang Wenxu. After all, he was the team leader and he did it himself, giving him the opportunity to show his face.
Anyway, Yan Ming has done enough credit for this operation, not less than this.
Yan Ming knew very well that people who ate alone would generally not have a good end, so sharing some with others would not do any harm to themselves.
"Great, we will take him back for trial immediately." Miao Feng said with a happy smile. The case belonged to Xu Qingyun, but if Xu Zhanjie was not around, the leadership would fall on him.
He had never thought about replacing Xu Zhanjie's position, but who wouldn't want the credit, and besides, he had the chance to show his face in front of Virgo.
"yes."
Xu Qingyun accepted the order, and the group returned to the Military Intelligence Office in a mighty manner. Miao Feng followed Xu Qingyun for interrogation.
"Do you know where this place is?"
After being escorted into the torture room, Xu Qingyun first asked, Liu Qiaosheng was very important. By prying his mouth open, he could capture a few more Japanese agents.
"I am a good citizen, why are you arresting me?"
Liu Qiaosheng looked very scared, but Miao Feng slammed the table: "A good citizen needs two names? It was you who informed Kong Yufa to evacuate, right? Don't take any chances, you know the pain of these instruments of torture."
"Sir, I really don't know anything..."
"Torture."
Xu Qingyun didn't give him a chance to quibble, and directly ordered him to fight for half an hour.
He lives far away from the photo studio, so arresting him didn't cause much commotion. It's still under control. If you pry open his mouth, you'll have time to arrest other people.
"ah."
Screams suddenly came from the torture room. Half an hour later, before Liu Qiaosheng gave an explanation, Xu Qingyun directly ordered the electric chair.
A little bit of torture will only break down his body. If he can't hold up the electric chair, it's better to get there in one step.
"I said."
On the electric chair, Liu Qiaosheng finally couldn't hold it any longer and was willing to confess.
"Team leader."
Yan Ming walked in and whispered in Xu Qingyun's ear: "We searched his home carefully and found no radio station, only a radio."
"Name, position, code name."
Xu Qingyun asked Yan Ming to wait. Liu Qiaosheng had already spoken. Just ask him where the radio station was hidden.
"Yoshihiro Fukada, lieutenant agent of the Shanghai Special High School Division, his position is an observer. I don't have a code name."
Liu Qiaosheng replied weakly, while Xu Qingyun's eyebrows twitched. This was the first time he heard the name observer.
"Where is your radio station?" Xu Qingyun asked directly.
"I don't have a radio station."
"Without a radio station, how do you report the situation to the higher authorities and how do you contact the higher authorities?"
"There is no need to report, you just need to receive instructions, just through the radio."
Liu Qiaosheng replied softly, and Miao Feng frowned. If there is no radio station, then there is no code book. This time, the credit will be reduced by at least half.
"Who are you offline?"
"I am not offline, I am only responsible for receiving instructions and doing things."
"Still lying, electrify him."
Miao Feng suddenly shouted, "How did Kong Yufa escape without being offline?" Xu Qingyun was staring at him closely at this time. When he heard the power on, Liu Qiaosheng immediately showed fear and shouted hurriedly: "I didn't lie, every word is true. I am an observer. Observers have always been an observer." People, just follow the instructions. The most recent one was to let me release the Level 1 signal in the No. 2 Photo Studio.”
"Tell me clearly, what is a level one signal?"
Xu Qingyun asked. Liu Qiaosheng did not dare to hide anything. He was indeed a spy, but not an intelligence officer. His main job was to observe whether there were any abnormalities at designated locations, and to use the photo studio to send out designated signals when necessary.
The four photo studios were opened by him according to the locations specified above.
The boss didn't decide where he had to open it, as long as it was in that place. Liu Qiaosheng was very business-minded. He didn't have that much time to take care of the business, so he simply cooperated with his employees and used dividends to make them more money.
He had been promised by his superiors that the management of the photo studio would not be excessive, but it must be ensured that signals could be transmitted in a timely manner when needed.
He has made a lot of money using four photo studios.
He understands the nature of his job and is very cautious at ordinary times. He usually does not go to the store. He always observes before going and even asks around.
If there is anyone suspicious, he will evacuate immediately.
The people at the photo studio didn't know where he lived. He used a different identity where he lived. As long as he couldn't be caught on the scene, there was no chance of catching him again.
The first-level signal is the most urgent signal. According to the requirements, it needs to be placed for at least twenty-four hours. During this time, Liu Qiaosheng must be guarded near the photo studio.
After he placed the signal, he left at noon, but he didn't go far. In the afternoon, he saw someone running over here.
He then understood that his signal had worked.
During this period, he was more careful and generally did not go to the store. If one of the stores did not need him to deliver something today, he would not go there and would always call to contact him.
He doesn't have a fixed location when calling, he changes places every time.
At present, his explanation matches what Xu Qingyun found.
"What are the various signals, and what other jobs have you done?"
Xu Qingyun continued to ask, and Liu Qiaosheng honestly told everything he knew and had done.
The electric chair was so painful that he would rather die than try it again.
"Electrify him."
After asking everything, Xu Qingyun suddenly said, Liu Qiaosheng raised his head in shock and quickly screamed.
Xu Qingyun didn't completely believe what he said.
Five minutes later, Liu Qiao was half dead. Xu Qingyun asked again. This time he admitted that he had a radio station, but said that he had destroyed the radio station and the code book.
As for the offline, he called out three names.
"Chief Miao, I suggest we investigate first and don't rush to arrest people."
After walking out of the torture room, Xu Qingyun whispered that Liu Qiaosheng's final confession was very similar to Gong Zhaolin's before.
It's a bit like giving in to a trick.
If this is the case, the person he confessed to is not a spy, and if he acts rashly, he may alert the real spy.
The people he told were all people who lived near the photo studio.
"What are you going to do?"
Miao Feng did not answer, but asked Xu Qingyun.
"Let him rest for a while and review it again to see if he can get it right."
"Okay, do as you say."
Miao Feng agreed. He knew about the last interrogation of Gong Zhaolin. Gong Zhaolin was beaten into a crime. After confessing, he asked whether he was right or not.
Xu Qingyun was right to be careful, and he couldn't be careless when dealing with Japanese spies.
If he is not lying and is really an observer, then the photo studio is a place to remind him that there are indeed Japanese spies hiding around. Once he arrests someone, it is very likely that the real spy will be alerted.
"Thank you, Chief Miao."
Xu Qingyun lowered his head and thanked him. Miao Feng was not Xu Zhanjie, so it was not easy to support him so much.
An hour later, Xu Qingyun interrogated Liu Qiaosheng again.
According to the comparison of the oral confessions, there are indeed some discrepancies in what he said later, but everything he said before is the same.
Another trick that yielded to defeat.
"Qingyun, what should we do next?"
In Miao Feng's office, the two of them were definitely beaten into submission, and Liu Qiaosheng's subsequent explanations became meaningless.
"Chief Miao, he doesn't know where the spy is, so we have to find it ourselves."
Xu Qingyun shook his head slightly. He did not expect that the Japanese specially arranged observers. In case of emergency, they would order the observers to remind them through the radio.
