Chapter 132 The guess is correct
You have to rent out the car even if you lose money, let alone a spy, ordinary people are just as suspicious.
Combining the work, Xu Qingyun probably guessed their purpose.
"Mark the locations of these two houses for me."
Arriving at the map, Xu Qingyun ordered, and Fang Laibao immediately picked up the pen and drew circles on two locations.
There is a certain distance between the two houses.
But the distance from Liao Wenting's company is about the same, one is in the east and the other is in the north.
"How's the photo walkthrough going?"
Xu Qingyun suddenly asked, he needs more manpower now. If he doesn't have enough men, he can ask Xu Zhanjie to borrow them.
The mission is important, catch the spy first.
"Still looking. I've found twenty-three similar people, but I haven't really found them."
Zuo Jinfang was very serious about his work during this period. He identified more than 20 people through a search. According to the order, everyone's footprints were photographed after Zuo Jinfang confirmed it. Xu Qingyun had already checked eighteen.
This time I was just lucky, no previous footprints appeared in the eighteen photos.
The remaining two people made the calls on bicycles. Their scope of activities was larger, and the scope of the investigation was also expanded accordingly.
"Keep looking, this work cannot stop."
Xu Qingyun nodded slightly, finding out the spy was the most important thing. Zuo Jinfang's team could not send anyone for the time being, so they could only send people from Yan Ming's side.
There are fewer people, but with previous experience, troubleshooting is not difficult.
"Tell Yan Ming to divide half of the people and go to the vicinity of these two households for investigation. As before, they are singles or couples. They came to Nanjing four and a half to five years ago. They usually have a good reputation, but the neighbors know them well. Very few people.”
Xu Qingyun issued an investigation order. He suspected that Japanese spies were living near the two families. In case of emergency, Liao Wenting used a rickshaw as a signal to remind them.
How to give a specific reminder will be known once the person is caught.
However, Xu Qingyun can probably guess their method, which is either to stick something conspicuous, to fix the rickshaw in a certain position, or to cause something to happen to the rickshaw.
Liao Wenting doesn't have to show up in person, just arrange for his employees to do it.
This emergency notification can ensure Liao Wenting's safety. He only needs to keep a close eye on the driver and report it immediately if he spots the driver or someone is arrested.
This is a common trick used by Japanese spies.
"yes."
Fang Laibao immediately took the order. He understood that the team leader had found a new breakthrough, and this was the situation he investigated.
Indeed, there must be ulterior reasons for losing money in business.
The case is progressing well. There is no need to worry about the other two people. They only need to live in Nanjing. It is only a matter of time before they are found.
For the bounty, the gangsters and patrol officers were very motivated. The Military Intelligence Office checked out the money on the spot and found one. After verification, they immediately gave the money, which greatly aroused their enthusiasm.
"Team leader, you are here."
In the afternoon, Xu Qingyun came to the surveillance point.
Five of Yan Ming's men were divided. He led two of them to keep an eye on the company in person, and two others were monitoring near Liao Wenting's residence.
"This is the employee information I'm investigating, and I haven't finished checking it yet."
Yan Ming took out another document, which contained information about the employees of Liao Wenting's company, mainly people within the company and some drivers.
Frankly speaking, the coachman is better than the coolie. At this time, the Nanjing coachman is not as miserable as Xiangzi, but not much better.
Xiangzi is the epitome of their lives.
"Well done, you've worked hard these days."
Xu Qingyun praised Yan Ming, who was the most tired of all. He had to lead his subordinates to arrange surveillance and at the same time personally investigate all the situations of Liao Wenting.
He couldn't investigate it alone, so Fang Laibao helped him with the peripheral investigation and finally found out the rent issue.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can catch someone, it's worth it no matter how tired you are."
Yan Ming chuckled, while Xu Qingyun went to the side to look at his investigation information.
The company is small and there are not many internal employees. Apart from the more than 100 coachmen, there are only three people in the company.
The boss, the accountant, and a maintenance man.
The master mainly helps repair cars. The rickshaws are driven outside every day, and various parts are easily damaged. Once broken and it affects the work, the rickshaw driver will not make any money that day, or even lose money.
Repairing alone is very expensive, but the company has a dedicated repairman who charges cheaper than outside.
Liao Wenting also knows how to repair cars.
There is nothing unusual about the car repairman. He is from the suburbs of Nanjing and grew up here. He has been with the company since its establishment and is the person who has worked the longest in the company.
The accountant was hired later by Liao Wenting, mainly to collect money from members.
As for the cart drivers, most of them are ordinary people from the lower class. They work hard every day to make ends meet. Thirty-year-olds are as tired as fifty, but they can’t save any wealth. They can eat a good meal during the Chinese New Year and pull a few feet of cloth for their families. Making new clothes is their greatest satisfaction.
"Is the bug installed?"
"It's installed, but it's only available at the company."
Yan Ming nodded. Liao Wenting was at home for a short time, so there was no need to install it.
It wasn't that easy for the company to install bugs. They sneaked in at night and finally installed them.
At this time, one person was working at the listening point.
Listening points and monitoring points are different. The two can best be placed together, but sometimes they must be separated, such as this time.
The monitoring point is relatively far from the company entrance, and the monitoring equipment needs to be installed at a close distance. Once the line is stretched, the monitoring effect will be affected.
Monitoring does not require staring at people, the main thing is to listen. Yan Ming asked someone to rent a house in the cubicle of the rickshaw company and set up a monitoring point there.
One person is enough for the monitoring point, and everything monitored will be recorded. Recording alone is a big expense.
It’s more expensive than hiring someone.
"Team leader, this is the Li family's sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Please try it."
Seeing Xu Qingyun getting up, Yan Ming hurriedly brought a box of snacks. He never treated his subordinates poorly. Surveillance was boring and he had to keep an eye on them, so he bought some snacks and snacks from his own pocket to comfort his subordinates.
Yan Ming, the captain, has completely established himself in the first team, and the players are very convinced of him.
However, the team members most liked to listen to Yan Ming talk about the cases they had handled before. The team leader had arrested many spies in Tianjin and continued to arrest them when he came to Nanjing. Each case made them excited to listen to it.
Their team leader is younger. Who would have thought that he could be so powerful and catch so many spies in a row.
The reason why Yan Ming said this was to help Xu Qingyun establish prestige and make all team members have awe of the team leader, so that the team leader can better control the fourth intelligence team in the future.
“It tastes really good.”
Xu Qingyun picked up a piece and tasted it. Seeing that he was satisfied, Yan Ming grinned.
"You guys are busy first, I'll go to Jin Fang to have a look."
Xu Qingyun stood up, but Zuo Jinfang had no surveillance point and had been leading people on the road himself.
This kind of work is nothing to him. He used to be in Tianjin and wandered around the jurisdiction every day, which was similar to his current job.
"Brother Qingyun, why are you here?"
After searching for half an hour, Xu Qingyun found Zuo Jinfang. Zheng Jiming was very conscientious and kept watching with his hands on his waist.
There is also a long gun in the car in case of emergency.
"How's the check going?"
Xu Qingyun asked with a smile. Zuo Jinfang looked tired, and it could be seen that he had put his heart into it. "I found three more, and four more people took photos and haven't developed them yet."
Zuo Jinfang took out his camera. It was not as fast as before, but people with similar looks were still identified every day.
"Give me the film and I'll take it back and develop it."
Xu Qingyun didn't ask Zuo Jinfang to send another person. Zuo Jinfang and the others only had about ten people, but the area to be investigated at this time was very large.
In each area, they make sure to find all the people who look like the photo before they give up.
Avoid being escaped by spies due to missed work.
"Brother Qingyun, the filming is not finished yet."
Zuo Jinfang looked at the camera and saw that there were still six or seven untaken pictures left in the film.
Xu Qingyun smiled. Zuo Jinfang was saving money since he was a child, and this habit was brought to the Military Intelligence Department.
"Give me the camera."
Xu Qingyun stretched out his hand for a camera, walked to the roadside, took a few random photos of the Nanjing street scene, and finished shooting all the film inside.
Now is not the time to save. The sooner you find the spy, the better.
Xu Qingyun did not take pictures of them. The intelligence personnel's photos were confidential. If they were taken, it would be detrimental to them if they were leaked.
Including himself, he will not take photos casually.
Xu Qingyun did not have time to accompany Zuo Jinfang for verification. Verification was inherently passive and had to wait for the person being verified to come out. They followed behind, waiting for the opportunity to take photos of the footprints.
"Take them to eat more delicious food. Don't worry about money. The team will reimburse you."
Xu Qingyun took out the film and got into the car. Before leaving, he explained again that Zuo Jinfang was not as good as Yan Ming in winning people's hearts and he was not willing to spend too much money.
Yan Ming was better at doing things than him and bought a lot of things with his own money.
It seems to cost a lot of money, but as long as you catch someone, you can earn back ten times the bonus alone.
Xu Qingyun didn't need them to pay for this kind of expenses themselves.
With a small treasury, this little money is nothing.
"Yes, Brother Qingyun."
Zuo Jinfang stood outside the car, watching Xu Qingyun leave and return to the office. Xu Qingyun immediately asked someone to develop the film.
Expedited cleaning.
Zheng Jiming quickly brought the photos. They had specially trained how to develop photos, but Zheng Jiming was not skilled. The things to be washed this time were very important. He specially found someone else and watched them as a lesson.
After developing it, he immediately returned with the photos and negatives.
The photos were placed on the table, and Xu Qingyun looked at them carefully one by one.
It's a pity that after looking at all the photos, there are no spy footprints.
Zuo Jinfang's side gained nothing, while Yan Ming's side gained nothing.
"Team leader, find one, Mi Zhongwei, male, single, 31 years old. He came to Nanjing four and a half years ago and opened his own Zhongwei Trading Company. He mainly deals in homework books, pencils and other businesses. He has no relationship with the Department of Education. It’s a good relationship with a few people.”
Before getting off work, Yan Ming came back to report that Mi Zhongwei was not from Nanjing. He came at the same time as Liao Wenting, and he was single. As a boss, he had a big business, but he lived in a rented house with only one servant at home.
All signs point to him being a serious suspect.
"Keep an eye on him immediately. If you don't have enough manpower, ask Zuo Jinfang to send someone to help."
Xu Qingyun immediately ordered and finally found one. It seemed that he was right. The two families rented cars to deliver messages to Mi Zhongwei in an emergency.
This is not difficult. Even if the rickshaw happens to be out, Liao Wenting can find a reason to send a car there.
It doesn't matter how the signal is transmitted. Once the person is found, they will have no use for any emergency signals.
It is enough to know how they deliver it.
Once something unusual occurs, arrest people immediately.
"yes."
Yan Ming took the order, and Fang came to BMW to get the order to verify whether Mi Zhongwei's identity was true. If it was false, he could be sure of his identity as a spy.
There is no light in the east but light in the west. If you find this spy, there must be another family with abnormal rent nearby.
It is equivalent to at least three spies being found by them.
Xu Qingyun was not disappointed. The next day, Yan Ming found another suspect nearby. The two families were not far from the rickshaw owner's house.
Liao Wenting is an observer. He has no horizontal contact with the intelligence agents, so the surveillance on him can be relaxed.
The two latent intelligence agents are more important. By keeping an eye on them, it is possible to find their online team leader.
Catching the team leader will not only find more spies, but also radio stations and code books.
This is the biggest gain.
It is impossible for Japanese spies to deploy only one or two lurking groups in Nanjing. Nanjing is the most important, and they should have the most manpower here.
But not too much.
If a group is eliminated, they will lose eyes or ears. If they can all be eliminated and the traitors they instigate rebellion can be found, the Japanese intelligence work on Nanjing will be greatly weakened.
More losses will be avoided in future wartime.
"Found two? Great."
Xu Zhanjie was very happy to receive the report from Xu Qingyun. Xu Qingyun led a group of newcomers and unexpectedly found three more Japanese spies.
Finding these three people confirmed that Xu Qingyun's previous guess was true. They also had two observers who had not been found.
One observer may bring the harvest of a spy team. If they are all found, how much credit will it be?
Xu Zhanjie felt like he was suddenly knocked unconscious by happiness.
"Teacher, the four groups are short of manpower. Can you ask Team Leader Yang's people to come over and help?"
Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask, "To check so many people, the four groups of people are really beyond their capabilities."
He didn't look for a group of three, but directly looked for a group of two. He had his own reasons.
Yang Wenxu is leaving.
He went to Tianjin to take over his previous position as intelligence team leader. Xu Zhanjie had made a promise to Wu Shaoshu and would give it to anyone he wanted.
Wu Shaoshu initially wanted to select someone from among his own people, so he specifically nominated someone to be the deputy team leader and temporarily take over the team leader's duties. As a result, the work was completely unsatisfactory to him.
Even two men were lost.
Let him investigate the new situation of the Special High School in the Japanese Concession. This guy was better off. He sent someone to inquire about the situation in a big way, and was directly arrested by the Special High School.
Wu Shao was so angry that he vomited blood and dismissed him from his post for investigation. Now he is arguing with the Extra-High School to get him back.
The Japanese have always made unreasonable troubles. This time they caught someone on their territory and the possibility of rescuing them was very low. Wu Shaoshu decided to ask Xu Zhanjie for a truly capable team leader.
After choosing for a long time, Wu Shaoshu finally chose Yang Wenxu.
He has met Yang Wenxu and has a good impression of Yang Wenxu. Yang Wenxu is definitely not as good as Xu Qingyun, but he is still good compared to others.
Yang Wenxu is the team leader of the headquarters. Being the leader of the intelligence team in the past was considered a downgrade. Xu Zhanjie wanted to help him operate and see if he could be the deputy chief and intelligence team leader.
Being promoted to deputy webmaster is not a loss to one's own confidants.
Wu Shaoshu has no objection. What he wants is results. Yang Wenxu can help him stabilize Tianjin Station. Now that Tianjin Station has made a lot of achievements, he just needs a stable person to help him hold it.
