Chapter 131 The rent is very low
After packing his things, Xu Qingyun came to Xu Zhanjie’s office.
It can be determined from the footprints that he is the spy who made the phone call. After the identity is confirmed, there is no need to continue to conceal it. He is just a pure suspect. Xu Qingyun will not report it so quickly.
"Found another one?"
Xu Zhanjie asked blankly, Xu Qingyun had just rested for a few days and found another spy?
And he is an observer.
The last time we were able to catch so many Japanese spies, we first discovered the observers, conducted investigations through the observer relationship, and finally discovered four Japanese spies. We also used them and the opportunity to pass on information to their superiors to find and arrest them successfully.
"Teacher, it is now confirmed that he is a spy observer."
Xu Qingyun nodded lightly. Xu Zhanjie understood the importance of observers and no further explanation was needed.
"Are you watching?"
"Yan Ming personally led people to keep an eye on it." Xu Qingyun nodded again.
"How are you doing? Will there be any accidents?"
Xu Zhanjie suddenly asked, Xu Qingyun's men were all novices, and only Yan Ming and Fang Laibao were more experienced. He was worried that these novices would not be qualified for such an important case.
As long as Japanese spies are involved, it is a major case for the Military Intelligence Office, and every case is taken very seriously.
"Teacher, don't worry. Yan Ming will take charge personally. I'll let Fang Laibao supervise the people being followed. There won't be any problems."
Xu Qingyun understood what the teacher was worried about. They were newcomers, but they were all good players before.
After a month of special training, I at least know what to pay attention to when marking people.
This time they knew a lot about the people they were watching. They knew where they lived and where they often went. They didn't need to keep a close eye on them, and they still used the Ning Diu Wu Wake strategy.
As long as they remember what they learned, nothing can go wrong.
In fact, tracking is not that complicated. The main points are: keep a long distance when tracking, and do not follow when you enter a place with few people. It may be a counter-reconnaissance move by the opponent.
If you get together at close range, pretend to be normal and leave immediately, and don't come back again. Your companions will fill in later.
Most importantly, never make eye contact with the person being stared at.
Once you look at each other, it is very likely to be noticed by the other party.
The way people stare is different from the way ordinary people look.
If you can do this, it won't be foolproof, but at least there won't be any big problems.
Xu Qingyun took precautions and arrested the person immediately if he was discovered to be under surveillance.
"Okay, I believe you."
Xu Zhanjie nodded. What he said was that he believed in Xu Qingyun, which proved that he did not have that much confidence in the people in the fourth intelligence team.
It was also true that he regretted it a bit.
If he had known that Xu Qingyun had such a strong combat capability, he shouldn't have given all the four intelligence teams to newcomers. With more veterans, he would be more at ease. Even if there was no selection at the headquarters, a group of elites from the branch would be fine.
Now that there are people in the four groups, Xu Qingyun couldn't let other groups intervene before he took the initiative to mention it.
Which officer doesn't seek benefits for his subordinates?
A commander who does not fight cannot convince the public, let alone let him go in vain.
The same goes for the military, and so does the Military Intelligence Service.
"Thank you, teacher."
Xu Qingyun stood up. He was not satisfied with finding only one person. Since the method of finding people through portraits was feasible, he could continue to look for people.
One Liao Wenting does not need so many people.
He understood what the teacher meant. If he found the other two, he wouldn't mind sharing some of the credit.
Based on previous experience, one observer is likely to be responsible for the warning of a team. A team of spies plus the team leader has four to six people. If all three observers and the spies they are responsible for are found, let alone the fourth intelligence team. Full staff, even if full staff is not enough.
"Team leader, you are here."
After leaving the office, Xu Qingyun went directly to the surveillance point. He had confidence in his men. This was their first battle and they would pay special attention.
But you should still keep an eye on them when you should, and especially warn them not to do things according to their own ideas.
Anyone who does something wrong and scares the Japanese spies will be dealt with by the military, and those who cause serious consequences may lose their lives.
"How is the situation now?"
Yan Ming was responsible for surveillance, while Zuo Jin Fangzheng led people to continue to search for the people in the portraits. If they found one, they would take photos of their footprints and verify them as soon as possible.
"Still in the company, but not out. This is the situation of their company in recent years."
Yan Ming was not idle during surveillance and inquired about Liao Wenting's rickshaw company in detail.
The company is indeed not big. For Nanjing, which has tens of thousands of rickshaws, more than a hundred rickshaws are very inconspicuous.
All of his rickshaws are leased to external parties, and he charges a share of the money every day. In other words, the ownership of the rickshaws is entirely in the hands of Liao Wenting, and the rickshaw drivers are equivalent to his employees.
This makes it easier for him to control these drivers.
Another model is to buy a car yourself and affiliate it to a company.
Without a company name, they cannot go on the road. Not only will other drivers smash them up, but the police will also confiscate their unlicensed vehicles when they encounter them.
In the past few years, Liao Wenting has managed the company well, with a lot of monthly profits, but he has not expanded his business.
A thirty-year-old man, who is also the boss, said that he was married in his hometown, but no one has seen his wife and children, which is also suspicious.
In addition to the share of money, the rickshaw company's other income is chartered cars and advertising.
Liao Wenting's company has eight long-term chartered cars and more than 100 cars. With so many long-term chartered cars, the ratio is a bit abnormal.
A long-term car charter means that the car only serves one family, including the driver.
Every day, the driver arrives at his employer's house on time and waits for his employer to use the car.
The income of drivers who charter a car for a long time is not as high as those who run every day, but it is easy to charter a car. The owner rarely goes out every day, and most of the time is free.
When you meet a generous master, you can also get a bounty, and these bounties belong to them personally.
All in all, it's not much less than running outside every day. Many drivers are more willing to take this kind of job.
"Have the people who chartered the car from the eight companies investigated?"
Xu Qingyun took the initiative and asked if the Japanese spies were on the charter list, it would be easier to notify them of anything.
But it was easy for the Japanese spies to guess that the rickshaw company was related to one of their own people.
"Not yet, I'll arrange for someone to check it right away."
Yan Ming only has ten subordinates. Now he has to monitor people and investigate many other things. The manpower is limited, so it is normal not to investigate in such detail.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xu Qingyun didn't blame him at all and continued to read the information. Apart from the chartered car, it was all advertisements.
The advertisements of rickshaw companies are basically the same. Large companies have many cars and their single-car prices are higher. Small companies have fewer cars and are not competitive enough in terms of price.
Many advertisements need to be found by themselves.
Some advertise on rickshaws, and just a few big company cars are enough. Even if some cars don’t have their ads, it doesn’t matter. Moreover, the cars of big companies cover a wider range and can be seen by more people.
There are three main companies advertising.
There is a Dioda Liquor, a nearby time-honored braised meat shop, and a cigarette advertisement.
Except for cigarettes, everything else is small advertising.
The advertisements must also be checked. In addition to these three advertisements they have made, whether the rickshaw company has any other advertising paper hidden.
If there is an unfamiliar advertising paper and you have not accepted such an advertisement, it is most likely that you have made preparations in advance to notify Japanese spies. Just leave the investigation to Yan Ming.
He had a way to get this from the employees of Liao Wenting's company without letting Liao Wenting know about it.
Shanghai, Party Affairs Investigation Division.
"Team leader, we found out that he did not live in the French Concession. He stayed in an ordinary hotel in Nanshi for one night and left early the next morning."
When his subordinates came over to report, Bai Xuechen frowned. The man was found, but it was not the result he wanted.
Staying in a hotel for only one day, no trace of this person was found after such a long investigation. Everything proved that the person they photographed had just arrived in Shanghai and left directly after meeting Boss Huang.
If people are not in Shanghai, they will have nothing to gain.
Bai Xuechen was not interested in finding out where this person came from. Shanghai is the largest city and there are many people from outside the city. It is possible that he came from anywhere.
But it is definitely not a city on the Yangtze River west of Nanjing.
Such as Chongqing, Wuhan, etc.
Shipping from those places to Shanghai is more convenient.
"The photos are sent to the headquarters. We don't care about this matter."
Bai Xuechen sighed. This person was too vigilant, escaped their surveillance, and left Shanghai directly.
The case can only be abandoned.
Otherwise, he would not have handed the photos to the headquarters and would have definitely checked them out himself.
"Team leader, after so many days of investigation, you just give up?"
His subordinates were a little reluctant, so Bai Xuechen glared at him: "I'm not in Shanghai, what should I do if I don't give up?"
"We can keep the photos and arrest him when he comes to Shanghai again. He will definitely come again."
"It's not necessary. Report the photo. No matter where you catch the person, we will have a share of the credit. There are many red gangs in Shanghai, and we don't have so much energy to waste on him."
Bai Xuechen shook his head again, who knows when this person will come over next time.
Even if he does come, as long as he shows up at Boss Huang's house, he can arrest him directly.
If they go elsewhere, they have nothing to do.
It is impossible to account for everyone, write down all the appearance of this person, let alone post a photo to be wanted by the whole city.
It is impossible for ordinary people to remember a person's appearance for a long time just by seeing a photo, unless they are shown the photo frequently.
A person who doesn't know his specific identity is not worthy of such a big fight.
If he were an important figure in the Red Party, it would be more or less the same.
But if he is really an important person, Boss Huang will definitely send him out personally on the day he comes to Shanghai.
Being wanted is even more stupid. Maybe people have known that they are wanted for a long time and would not be able to come here so arrogantly.
Bai Xuechen understands that the Red Party has made rapid progress in recent years. If they find out that they are wanted, they will definitely alert their comrades.
He didn't know that Lao Lu was out of contact.
"Yes, team leader."
The subordinates had no choice but to send the photos to the Nanjing headquarters, and Bai Xuechen went to report to the webmaster.
He was a confidant of the webmaster. The person he found was not in Shanghai. It was not his fault that he was not caught.
Bai Xuechen didn't pay special attention to the missing persons. In the past few years as the leader of the intelligence team, he had missed more than one person.
In the special high school class, Aoki, who is also the leader of the intelligence team, also came to the boss's office at this time.
"Section Chief, Shangui reported that the people from Intelligence Group Four have been out for training, but he suspects that Xu Qingyun has some clues to harm the imperial agents."
They already knew about the establishment of the Fourth Intelligence Group. After the Mountain Ghost was activated, the Military Intelligence Department intelligence was continuously transmitted to Shanghai.
This information once again proves the importance of mountain ghosts.
"Aren't all his men newly trained?"
Kawashima asked with a frown, Aoki nodded: "Yes, they are indeed newcomers, and there are only twenty of them."
"There is no need to contact Nanjing anymore. The more contacts they have, the greater their risk will be. As long as Xu Qingyun is eliminated, this fourth intelligence group will not be a concern."
Kawashima shook his head and said that he had contacted them many times before, but in the end he could not prevent the Falcon team from being destroyed.
We can no longer contact him now. If Qin is exposed as a lurking agent in Nanjing because they contacted him, the chief section chief will not spare him.
He was severely scolded by the chief section chief for the loss of the Falcon team and asked him to choose an opportunity to get rid of Xu Qingyun.
Who would have thought that a small policeman in Tianjin could cause them so much loss.
"Hai."
Aoki nodded, and the section chief finally issued an action order to let the old guy from the south succeed.
When there is a chance in the future, I will go to Hangzhou to deal with him.
"Team leader, I asked two people and there is no such advertising flyer as you mentioned."
Yan Ming investigated quickly and secretly contacted the person in charge of the warehouse of the rickshaw company. The person did not know his identity, but took advantage of him.
Yan Ming also brought along a fierce person to warn him.
If he dares to tell anyone about this, his whole family will be killed.
Yan Ming knew where his home was, and told him the location, the names of his family, and the school where his children went to school.
With such a threat, those who were questioned did not dare to speak casually.
"Forget it if not, how is the investigation of the eight employers going?"
"Three companies have been identified, and the remaining ones are still being investigated."
It is not difficult to check the employers. After they get the list, they immediately start an investigation, mainly to check when these employers came and how many people are at home.
If there are few people and the time is similar to Liao Wenting's arrival or the time he took control of the rickshaw company, he can be included in the suspect list and his identity can be verified.
"Continue to investigate and find out everyone as soon as possible."
Xu Qingyun nodded. If there were no problems with his long-term employer, Xu Qingyun could only continue a large-scale investigation.
However, the rickshaw company's territory is relatively large, not as small as a photo studio. Conducting an investigation on such a large scale requires manpower and time. The most important thing is to keep it confidential so that Japanese spies cannot know about their investigation.
Any flaw in any link may allow the spy to escape and all previous efforts will be wasted.
"Yes, team leader."
Yan Ming took the order and it was not difficult to investigate these. Xu Qingyun went to check out the situation of the three families.
There is a person who has lived in Nanjing for decades, is a local, has a large family, and has children who work in the Kuomintang department. This family can rule out the suspicion of espionage.
Those who hire rickshaws for a long time are all wealthy people. Two of the three families have cars. There are many people in the family and there are not enough cars, so they hire rickshaws to help them pick up and drop off people every day, or take people to buy something.
There are many people in the family and the time does not match up. The investigation of these three families can be stopped.
In just two days, Yan Ming found out the details of the remaining five families.
After Xu Qingyun's analysis, all eight employers were finally eliminated, and there were no spies among them.
However, Fang Laibao discovered an important situation.
The rent for two of these eight households was very low, even lower than the driver's wages. In other words, Liao Wenting paid the driver himself and hired the vehicle to these two families?
