Chapter 129 Laying the Framework
Xu Qingyun, who has experience in later life, has no interest in this kind of pastime. Yan Ming didn’t know what the team leader liked, so he deliberately used listening to operas to test it out.
If Xu Qingyun didn't go, he would shut up.
At this time, there was a lack of entertainment options. Apart from listening to operas, storytelling, playing chess, and drinking tea, there was almost nothing else.
Xu Qingyun never goes to men's paradise or casinos. High-end places are movie theaters and dance halls.
The dance halls were smoky, and the cinemas mostly showed foreign films, but not many good movies.
Xu Qingyun understood that Yan Ming was thinking about him. Even if he didn't want to go, he didn't refuse directly and changed it to next time.
For three consecutive days, Xu Qingyun failed to find the footprints of the previous spy.
The whole place had been turned around, Xu Qingyun changed to another place where the Japanese spies might appear, and the three Japanese spies finally found one.
Japanese spies are different from ordinary criminals in later generations, and are harder to find than those people.
Many criminals in later generations have not received any training. Japanese spies are not only trained, but also very professional. Safety is their first concern during the latent period.
It is very likely that the spy is not afraid of trouble at all. Even if he goes far away, he will not reveal where he lives.
Maybe the person was riding a bicycle, taking a rickshaw, or even driving a car.
He made a point of not letting anyone see his vehicle when he was on the phone, just to avoid being noticed.
"Stronger, not bad."
Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming finally came back, Xu Qingyun patted Zuo Jinfang on the shoulder and smiled.
Returning with them were twenty experts who had been personally selected by Xu Qingyun.
One month of special training is a bit short. They only learn a rough outline and then study while working.
In the future, when they have no tasks, they will spend at least half a day every day to receive professional training.
The leaders of the other three groups, as well as Xu Zhanjie, Miao Feng and others, will come to give them lessons to enhance their professional abilities.
"Brother Qingyun, Jiming performed very well in the class. He won several first places."
Zuo Jinfang said with a silly smile, Zheng Jiming was first in marksmanship and first in running.
It is indeed good to compare the elites selected from the army.
They have also been trained to kill people. They are real people, killing prisoners on death row.
These death row prisoners were either murderers or bandits who committed all kinds of evil. They were all people without relatives to take care of them. They were taken out of the police cell and asked to be executed.
Intelligence agents may face any situation, and when they need to shoot, if they don't even dare to use their guns, big trouble is likely to happen.
Zheng Jiming ranked first again in the killing training.
He is the fastest, most ruthless, and most accurate.
His parents were killed by Japanese thugs, and he hated these thugs equally.
Among all the people, Zheng Jiming had killed the most people. He had killed dozens of spies and traitors in Tianjin before.
"Jiming is not bad, a lot darker."
Xu Qingyun looked at Zheng Jiming. He and Zuo Jinfang were both people who followed him from the Tianjin Police Department and belonged to the direct lineage.
"Team leader, as long as I don't embarrass you."
Zheng Jiming is not as good at talking as Yan Ming, and his relationship with Xu Qingyun is not as close as that of Zuo Jin Fang, so he just said this sentence.
"Welcome to join the Military Intelligence Division and become a new member of the Intelligence Group Four."
Xu Qingyun looked at the other twenty people. He had met each of them. These people knew that Xu Qingyun was their commander and the leader of their team.
"You are all good. The instructor told me that you are excellent."
"Each of you is an elite carefully selected by me. I believe you will also perform well in your future work."
"But we are not an ordinary department. You have received confidentiality training in school. I will not talk about the confidentiality regulations. In the fourth intelligence group, I ask you to obey orders absolutely and not reveal any internal information to anyone, including your relatives, and what you are doing. It is not passed on to parents, and it is not passed on to wives and children.”
After speaking, Xu Qingyun paused for a moment and suddenly raised his voice: "Can you do it?"
"able."
Everyone replied immediately, including Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming.
"Very good. If you can do it, stay in Intelligence Group Four. If you can't do it, leave now. If you dare to disobey orders in the future, you will be punished by death."
Xu Qingyun's words were very serious, and some words must be explained in advance.
A soldier is in a raging state, and a general is in a raging nest.
Xu Qingyun is very clear about such a simple truth. Now that he is leading a whole group of people, he must lead them well. Not to mention that everyone is an elite, but he cannot make low-level mistakes.
In other departments, mistakes can be corrected, but in the intelligence department, mistakes may not only kill oneself, but also kill one's colleagues.
"Promise to obey the commander's orders."
Everyone shouted together again, Xu Qingyun nodded with satisfaction, no one left, it was good.
"You have just arrived, and each of you can get ten yuan as a joining reward. I have been working hard recently. You have to study and work at the same time."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Can they get money just after they came in?
Ten dollars is not much, but it is a lot. They have stayed in other places, such as the police station and the army. Where can they get paid as soon as they arrive?
It seems they have a good commander.
Xu Qingyun uses a combination of kindness and power, and the money can be spent in a small treasury. Ten yuan per person, which is more than 200 yuan, is affordable.
After taking the money, remember his goodness.
If there are white-eyed wolves, it's okay if they don't make mistakes, just clean them out. If they make mistakes, Xu Qingyun will not take it easy.
They were arranged into two large offices, and Xu Qingyun returned to his own office.
There was no one before, and the fourth intelligence team had never set up a captain. Now that there are people, it's time to lay the framework.
Xu Qingyun already knew the choice of captain.
The first is Yan Ming. He is now a lieutenant and has no problem being the captain. Moreover, Xu Qingyun promoted him to the position of captain in Tianjin. When he arrived at the headquarters, he could not be demoted.
Being promoted to captain is equivalent to Yan Ming being promoted by half a level.
Followed by Fang Laibao, Xu Qingyun plans to make him the deputy team leader.
Fang Laibao was a captain himself, and had a higher military rank than him before. He was also the leader of the interrogation team in Tianjin. When he arrived in Nanjing, being the deputy team leader was considered a level job.
But Xu Qingyun is the team leader himself and cannot give Fang Laibao a higher position.
He discussed this with Fang Laibao alone. Fang Laibao had no objections and said that he would be willing to be a team member even if he was asked to do so. The position was not important, the important thing was who to follow.
There are three teams in one intelligence, and the captains of the other two teams. Xu Qingyun is going to give one to Zuo Jinfang.
Zuo Jinfang was from the Xu family, and he followed him at the police station, working hard and always helping him.
Although Zuo Jinfang is not an officer, there are not many officers in the fourth intelligence group, so others will not have any objections to his promotion.
In the third team, Xu Qingyun is temporarily vacant.
There are still twenty people who are not in place. These are all people trained by the Hangzhou Police Academy and have stronger professional abilities. If there are good talents, one can be promoted.
As for Zheng Jiming, let him stay with him for the time being.
Having captured so many Japanese, security issues must be taken seriously. Zheng Jiming was devoted to him and was very skilled, making him a good bodyguard.
If he performs well in intelligence work, it won't be too late to be promoted in the future.
If Zuo Jinfang does not do well and is not as good as others, Xu Qingyun will also replace him. Your captain cannot be mediocre, otherwise it will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire team.
Set it like this first and adjust it at any time later.
Fang Laibao, Yan Ming, Zuo Jinfang, and Zheng Jiming were first called into the office by Xu Qingyun.
"Team leader, deputy team leader, don't give it to me. Let Yan Ming do it. He is more capable than me and is more suitable."
Xu Qingyun did not expect that Fang Laibao would object after hearing that he was asked to be the deputy team leader. Fang Laibao was indeed very smart, and Yan Ming's ability was indeed better than him, but he was not bad either.
"Team leader, Brother Fang is the most suitable deputy leader, so he should be the one."
Yan Ming said at the same time, and the two people showed humility to each other in front of Xu Qingyun.
"It's settled, Fang Laibao, you will be the deputy team leader, and Yan Ming will be the captain of the first team."
Xu Qingyun made the final decision that this was the most appropriate allocation method. It was a good thing that the two of them could give in to each other. They would cooperate well in the future to capture more Japanese.
One hero has three gangs. No matter how powerful Xu Qingyun is, without his capable men, many things still cannot be accomplished.
"Yes, team leader."
Several people responded together. Zuo Jinfang had never thought that he could be a captain. He had just joined the Military Intelligence Department.
Zheng Jiming didn't think about anything. The team leader said that he would be asked to follow Xu Qingyun from now on, let alone the team leader. He would not be the team leader.
He just wanted to kill the Japanese and followed the team leader, which would have the best chance.
The twenty new people will not have any objections. They just came in and many of them are not officers. Xu Zhanjie's previous idea worked. They all have low military ranks. Xu Qingyun's low military rank is not a problem at all in the fourth group.
Twenty people were planned to be divided into two teams.
Each team plus captain has a total of eleven people.
Fang Laibao is the deputy team leader and has a separate office, while Zheng Jiming follows Xu Qingyun as a full-time bodyguard.
I can usually help Xu Qingyun deliver a message.
After completing the appointment, Xu Qingyun went to report to Xu Zhanjie. He had reported it before, and Xu Zhanjie asked him to handle these matters by himself without having to report again.
Xu Zhanjie said this, but Xu Qingyun couldn't do this.
Especially when it comes to personnel appointments, Xu Zhanjie will not object if such matters are reported, and there will be no thorn in his heart.
Sure enough, Xu Zhanjie said that Xu Qingyun was in trouble, but he kept smiling on his face.
He agreed to all Xu Qingyun's requests.
The team leader needs to be appointed personally by the director, and he can make the final decision on the deputy team leader and captain. This matter does not need to be reported to the superior.
The framework of the fourth intelligence group has been set up.
Returning to the fourth group's office, Xu Qingyun immediately announced the appointment.
Deputy team leader Fang Laibao, captain of the first team Yan Ming, and captain of the second team Zuo Jinfang.
Zheng Jiming did not make any distribution and followed Xu Qingyun. The remaining twenty people were equally divided into the first and second teams. After the people from Hangzhou came over, they would form a new third team.
This result was not surprising to others in the Military Intelligence Department. The Fourth Intelligence Team had been established for a long time and had only three people in it.
However, just these three people have already arrested seven spies, five traitors, and solved two Japanese espionage cases in a row.
The old information from the Military Intelligence Office is still used.
Now that they have manpower, many people are looking forward to the performance of the fourth intelligence team in the future to see if they can catch more spies and traitors.
"Team leader, I asked many Youth Gang disciples in the French Concession and no one has seen the person in the photo."
In Shanghai, people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department came to report to the team leader. Team leader Bai Xuechen was frowning and looking at Lao Lu's photo.
"Did the hotel ask?"
"After asking some questions, I haven't found any information about him yet."
The men lowered their heads. After the photos were developed, they mobilized people to ask if this person lived in Shanghai, someone must have seen him.
Shanghai is very big, with a population of more than 4 million. It is the largest city in China, but it is divided into many areas. There are police and local snakes in each area. You don't need to ask others, you can definitely find someone by asking them.
They had found the Red Party in this way before.
I asked many people this time, but no one had any impression of the person in the photo. It is most likely that he is not in Shanghai and came from outside.
"Go and investigate immediately. We need to investigate everything in the concession and our territory. We must find out his origin."
Bai Xuechen ordered that the most important thing for the chairman of the committee now is to completely eliminate the Red Party.
The Red Party is chasing them, and victory is just around the corner. What they have to do is to clear out all the lurking Red Party in the city.
"yes."
The men left quickly, and Bai Xuechen shook his head slightly. He had not reported this matter to the station commander yet. It would not be too late to report it after he found the person.
At this time, Lao Lu had returned to Nanjing.
He didn't know that he was being photographed, so he came to the rental house and prepared to start looking for a job tomorrow.
He is literate and can do accounts, so he has no problem being a bookkeeper.
Finding a job is not difficult, the key is safety.
He will not formally contact Xu Qingshi until he is completely stable or has restored contact with the organization. Before it is absolutely safe, he needs to keep a sufficient distance from Xu Qingshi.
In the Military Intelligence Department, the first team and the second team immediately received their first mission.
With more manpower, Xu Qingyun immediately sent them out to universities, streets and galleries to find people who could draw sketches and portraits.
The previous portraits were too rough. The Military Intelligence Office had its own painter, which was better than the one in Tianjin, but its strength was limited.
The person painted still doesn’t look that much like him.
Portraits are very important. For example, the boss of the three people who called before had seen them, but because they couldn't draw anything, they had to rely on Xu Qingyun to look for their footprints in a haystack.
If there is a portrait, even if it is not particularly similar, Xu Qingyun can first find someone who looks similar, and then use the footprints to identify whether he is a spy, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
All his men left, and Xu Qingyun himself was not idle either.
Come to an area again and see if you can hit a dead mouse and find the footprints that appeared before.
"Team leader, these two footprints are quite new."
This was not the first time that Zheng Jiming followed Xu Qingyun in handling a case. Fang Laibao was also there. He was the deputy team leader and there was nothing in the team, so he just went out to look for someone.
Fang Laibao couldn't read footprints, but he could protect Xu Qingyun. All three of them had guns on them.
"Two men, about 1.63 meters and 1.68 meters tall, one of them had a leg injury."
Xu Qingyun saw the two footprints Zheng Jiming mentioned, smiled slightly, and walked forward after speaking. There were many such footprints. As for injuries, many people now work as coolies, and injuries are very common.
There was a spy riding a bicycle who also had a leg injury. When suitable painters were found, they were sent to clinics and hospitals to conduct large-scale investigations.
Xu Qingyun will not waste any useful clues.
Thanks for the 100 starting coin reward from my friend Rarely Muddleheaded 028. This is the third update. I will add more updates tomorrow.
