Chapter 128: Promoted again
Shanghai Super High School, Aoki received the latest news from Nanjing.
After reading the content, he did not dare to delay at all and immediately came to the section chief's office.
"Something really happened?"
Kawashima was also shocked. According to the information sent back by the Jasmine team, Ji Shenghai was no longer at the police station. He learned from the patrol officers outside that Ji Shenghai had indeed been arrested by people from the Military Intelligence Department.
The reason is currently unclear.
Not only Ji Shenghai, but also the deputy director were taken away, and their positions have been replaced.
"Section Chief, it seems that something happened to Falcon and he was watched by the Military Intelligence Department. We should have been careful last time and let Falcon withdraw first. After all, he met Shimura."
Zhicun is Kong Yufa's real name. After it was exposed, Hangzhou Super High School sent them a signal in time. Shanghai Super High School issued a first-level order through observers. Shicun successfully escaped back to Shanghai and is currently waiting for a new job in the intelligence team.
"Call Shimura over."
Kawashima ordered that Shimura had rich lurking experience and would not keep him in Shanghai forever. He had not yet decided where to send him.
"Professor, please look for me."
Shimura soon came to the office and knelt down next to Aoki.
The team leader called and asked him to come to the section chief's office immediately. The section chief asked him something.
"Have you and Falcon ever met each other?"
Kawashima asked. He now suspected that something happened to Shimura that affected Falcon. For example, the two men met and were discovered by the Military Intelligence Department. After he escaped, the Military Intelligence Department continued to investigate and finally discovered the existence of Falcon.
The last time the Military Intelligence Service made a sudden move, it was possible that it was to capture Falcon.
Even Falcon himself didn't see the false information sent by Xu Qingyun, and Kawashima didn't even know about it.
After being captured, Falcon rebelled and helped Military Intelligence send back false intelligence, presumably to deceive them and capture more people.
Later, they were not fooled, so the Military Intelligence Service arrested all his subordinates.
Not only Kawashima thinks so, but Aoki also thinks so.
This can explain why the entire Falcon team was in trouble.
As for the observers, they didn't think much about it. The main reason was that the observers didn't know the identity of the intelligence agents and there was no horizontal connection between them.
What's more, Aoki sent a report to Falcon, but received no response this time. The observer was not responsible for warning the team leader, and he had no idea where Falcon was.
Nozawa Kissai was in poor health after being tortured and was unable to respond.
He used to send the report personally, but now Lao Gao's fingers are swollen. If he goes to send the report, it will be exposed without saying anything.
From the abnormality in the way he sent the message, the Japanese could tell that something was wrong with him.
Reporting is like sound, each has its own characteristics.
"Reply to the principal, no, we communicate through dead mailboxes every time."
Shimura lowered his head and replied that according to their requirements, group leaders cannot meet with downlines under normal circumstances unless it is an emergency.
"Did you pass any information to him before you withdrew?"
"have."
Shimura nodded. They reported regularly. Shimura had obtained a lot of information and had to report it every once in a while.
If there is time-sensitive emergency information, a signal must be sent out for the line to collect.
This was the case for Ji Shenghai this time. His information was urgent and timely.
"What time?" Kawashima asked immediately.
"Just five days before I evacuated."
"Where is your dead mailbox?"
Kawashima asked again. Aoki understood the section chief's thoughts and suspected that their dead mailbox was exposed. First Shimura was discovered, and then Falcon.
Shimura was not captured, but Military Intelligence managed to track down Falcon, eventually capturing the rest of Falcon's team.
Shimura told a location. The dead mailbox was very hidden. Kawashima didn't know how the Chinese found the location of the dead mailbox, but the reason was no longer important. The key was the bad consequences.
Every latent group in Nanjing is important.
This time a whole piece was lost, and he had a big responsibility.
Now the responsibility can only be placed on Falcon. It was because he was not rigorous in his work, the dead mailbox was discovered, and he was finally arrested.
"You go back first, don't tell anyone what happened today."
Kawashima waved his hand, Shimura was still useful, and he could also be used as a shield when needed.
"Section Chief, it seems something happened to Falcon. We were careless."
Shimura left, Aoki sighed heavily, and Kawashima nodded unnaturally: "You are right, the price is high."
The entire team was lost, and all of them were Japanese. Five important traitors who instigated rebellion were also lost.
He had never suffered such a big loss.
There will definitely be blame from the top, as you can tell by looking at Tianjin, but Tianjin's losses are greater. If only one team was lost, Tanimura would not be arrested and imprisoned.
"What should I do Fukada?"
Aoki took the initiative to ask, Fukada was Liu Qiaosheng, and Xu Qingyun's arrangement successfully confused them. At this time, they thought Liu Qiaosheng was fine.
"Keep him first, and then relocate a team to those places. The Military Intelligence Department doesn't know about him, let alone expect that there will be our people there."
"Chief, is this safe?"
"Don't worry. There is an old Chinese saying that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. It is impossible for the Chinese to think of that."
Kawashima smiled and shook his head. He had a deep understanding of Chinese culture and knew the meaning of darkness under the lamp.
"The section chief is wise."
Aoki took the opportunity to flatter him. The Chinese would never have thought that they would send people to the original place.
Anyway, we rent a house, it’s the same everywhere.
Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to restart the work. Unlike the previous few people, they have already established a foothold in Nanjing. It will take a long time to adapt to new people.
But one advantage of this is that there is no need to rearrange the observers.
The observers and intelligence officers were not in the same system and did not know each other. It was a blessing to have saved the observers this time.
In Nanjing, Xu Qingyun is visiting outside.
The three observers showed up again last time and sent back the signal, but they were very cunning and moved to different places to make calls. There were too many places in Nanjing to make calls.
However, if they hit one more time, their position will be marked once.
Xu Qingyun was now near where one of the observers might appear.
The one from the last walk.
This time it was also a walk, and it was only two miles away from the place where I made the last call.
After checking his previous phone records, Xu Qingyun finally drew this area, where he was most likely to hide.
There was a light rain in Nanjing yesterday and the ground was a bit muddy. Xu Qingyun came to the neighborhood early this morning to try his luck.
The footprints are clearer after the rain. As long as his footprints appear, he won't be able to run away this time.
Yan Ming and Fang Laibao followed. The special training of Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming was about to end. There were twenty people with them. When they came back, Xu Qingyun would not have anyone available.
Now that there are only three of them, it is really inconvenient to do some things.
Throughout the morning, Xu Qingyun estimated that he walked more than 10,000 steps and saw a lot of footprints, but unfortunately there was no one he really needed.
"Team leader, don't worry, there is none in this area. Let's search in other areas and we will definitely find him."
During lunch, Yan Ming took the initiative to comfort them. He finally understood that good luck would not always take care of them. Last time, and this time, their luck was obviously average.
"When did I say I was in a hurry?"
Xu Qingyun raised his head. The restaurant they ate at was good and the food tasted good.
"As long as there's no rush."
Yan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and admired the team leader's patience. After walking all morning and visiting so many places, he would have been in a hurry.
But to Xu Qingyun, half a day is nothing.
In the past, I have been tracking in the mountains for ten days and a half.
Xu Qingyun was really not in a hurry. After lunch, he continued to search the area in the afternoon.
This method of finding a needle in a haystack is purely a matter of luck.
If the spy did not live here, or did not go out, Xu Qingyun would not be able to find him. However, as long as the spy goes out, even if part of his footprints are covered, Xu Qingyun will be able to discover his existence if he sees one.
It was no use changing my shoes.
Xu Qingyun looked at the seal, not the specific pair of shoes.
In one day, Xu Qingyun looked at a lot of footprints, but without any substantial gains.
Xu Qingyun couldn't go out the next day, and the reward for arresting him last time was given out.
Xu Qingyun was successfully promoted to captain, at least becoming the highest ranking member of the four intelligence groups.
Fang Laibao's military rank did not change, but he received other rewards. Yan Ming's military rank was raised one level, to lieutenant.
It's not that difficult to be promoted to lieutenant. This time they did make great achievements and found five hidden spies. In addition to the two they caught before, they actually caught seven people.
This is not Tianjin, but Nanjing.
The lurking Japanese spies in Nanjing are more harmful, and the credit for catching them is much greater than that in Tianjin.
In each of the remaining groups, someone was promoted.
In addition to promotion, there are also a lot of bonuses.
The four intelligence teams of Xu Qingyun were individually allocated two thousand yuan. Just like last time, he gave half of it to Xu Qingshi as a reward to those who helped last time. The eight confidants who followed Xu Qingshi did not get anything at the police station. Money, but the Military Intelligence Office has received a lot of rewards.
Their wages are much higher.
Xu Qingyun, Yan Ming, and Fang Laibao each took 200 yuan of the remaining money, and kept the rest as a small treasury for the fourth intelligence team.
Before the members of the fourth intelligence team were in place, the small treasury already had 700 to 800 yuan, which was richer than any other team.
As the reward was handed out, the traitor knew what was going on this time.
The specific reasons have not been announced, only the general information is known.
After all, so many people were promoted this time, and they would definitely ask if they were in the same unit.
Shanghai Super High School once again received a report from Shangui.
"Xu Qingyun, is it him again?"
Kawashima raised his head. The last time Hangzhou Special High School asked them to sanction Xu Qingyun, Kawashima didn't want to be a gun in vain and only investigated but not punished. Before the investigation against Xu Qingyun was over, they were hit hard by this young man from Tianjin. One hit.
Losing the entire Falcon team was a huge loss.
"That's him, Section Chief, do you want to get rid of him?"
Aoki made a gesture of wiping his neck. Xu Qingyun captured his entire group. It is not easy to arrange a group. He now hates Xu Qingyun deeply.
"How much has been found out about his condition?"
Kawashima did not answer, but asked instead, while Aoki shook his head: "It's the same as before. I only know that he graduated from the police academy and was a policeman before. He is only twenty years old this year."
Xu Qingyun's information is top secret, not only for him, but also for several team leaders and section chiefs of the Intelligence Section.
No one can view their files without Virgo's consent.
Now they don't even know where Xu Qingyun's hometown is.
"He doesn't have an older brother. If you can't check him, check his brother."
Kawashima ordered that it was indeed much easier to investigate Xu Qingshi. Xu Qingshi's files were in the police station, not the military intelligence office.
But they wanted to know more about Xu Qingyun, and the clues they could get from checking his brother were limited.
Aoki understood that the section chief was unwilling to let Shangui take risks for fear of losing this important chess piece, so he settled for the next best thing and investigated Xu Qingshi.
Learn about Xu Qingyun through Xu Qingshi.
"Hai."
Qingmu took the order, but it was a pity that the person who broke into the police station was caught, otherwise it would be easier to investigate Xu Qingshi.
But it is better than investigating the Military Intelligence Office.
Shanghai, French Concession.
Lao Lu left a house. Boss Huang was an enlightened gentleman he knew and had helped them before.
Lao Lu had been working underground for many years, but only in the north. He only heard other comrades mention the situation in the south.
When I was in Rehe, some comrades from the south told me that Boss Huang once saved him.
He is still relatively trustworthy towards Boss Huang.
Boss Huang promised him that if he met one of their people, he would help him tell the situation. After Lao Lu returned to Nanjing, he would distribute the newspaper once a month. If there was a response, he would find a way to get back in touch with the organization.
After losing contact, he couldn't find the organization, so he could only use this stupidest method.
"Idiot, you can lose someone so close."
In the afternoon, at the Party Affairs Investigation Department, the intelligence team leader was scolding his subordinates.
Boss Huang has had contact with the Red Party and has long been included in their key surveillance range. Today, a stranger went to Boss Huang's house and was immediately targeted by them.
"Team leader, he went to the mall. There were few of us and we couldn't follow him. Later we found that he was missing."
"Did you take any photos?" The team leader waved his hand, not interested in hearing his explanation.
"Yes, I took a picture of it and just sent it to be washed, but it hasn't come out yet."
"Ask them to wash it quickly and bring it over as soon as it's done. I want to see who the god is."
The team leader ordered. After staring at Boss Huang for so long, he finally got something. However, his subordinates were too stupid and lost him.
This person was extremely vigilant and did not go back directly after coming out. He went to a crowded place. He has a strong sense of anti-stalking.
It's a pity that the person named Huang has a background, they have no evidence, and they live in the concession, so they can't arrest him.
If you can catch people, it won't be so troublesome.
Nanjing, a new day, Xu Qingyun continues to search.
He couldn't find it yesterday, so he continued today. He saw a lot of footprints that he had seen before, and they appeared many times, indicating that they were people living in this area.
He has no interest in who he is, he wants a spy.
There was a traitor in the department, and the Japanese used observers twice in a row. They probably knew something about the situation. They probably didn't know about Liu Qiaosheng's arrest until the other observers made any move.
As long as he doesn't know about Liu Qiaosheng, Xu Qingyun will have a chance to catch other observers.
"Team leader, there is a theater nearby, and the Huangmei Opera is good. Do you want to go and listen to it later?"
"I'm not going today, let's talk about it in a few days."
Xu Qingyun shook his head. He understood that Yan Ming was still worried about his mood and deliberately proposed to listen to the opera to relax. There really weren't many good pastimes in this era. Apart from listening to the opera, watching movies and dancing.
