Chapter 142 The level is not high
“Say, I said it.”
For a full hour, Xu Qingyun went through seven types of punishments, including tooth extraction, finger pricking, turning back and digging, etc. From time to time, he was given the electric chair and meals, and finally pried open this man's mouth.
As expected, they were Japanese, operatives sent by the Shanghai Special High School.
He didn't want to live, he just wanted to die.
They had six people come this time, including captain Takeda. The one who was injured and sent to the hospital was their captain.
Two others were at the lookout point.
However, they had made a warning call when they escaped, and the two of them had probably moved away.
"Fang Laibao, take people to have a look immediately. If they are present, arrest them. If they run away, protect the scene, especially all traces."
Xu Qingyun immediately gave the order. After struggling for so long, almost two hours had passed, and it was very likely that the two people left behind were not here.
No longer afraid, after he was assassinated, the whole city was sealed off and the two of them could not escape.
If you transfer, you can hopefully find them.
"yes."
Fang Laibao understood the importance of the task and left immediately, while Xu Qingyun continued to interrogate him about other things.
They were operational personnel. They came to perform a mission this time and brought pistols and rifles.
Rifles are mainly used for targeted assassinations. They found their car and did not go out with the rifle.
There are also grenades.
When several people were chasing, Zheng Jiming had been dodging, and they could not throw the grenade into Xu Qingyun's car.
If they cannot throw it accurately into the car in front, they may even blow up themselves.
When they were hiding, the Operations Department attacked very quickly. They only threw one, but it failed to detonate for some unknown reason. The guys in the Operations Department were lucky.
There were no casualties today, only two people suffered minor injuries. If grenades had actually been detonated, the outcome may have been different.
Xu Qingyun also asked why they came.
Shanghai Super High School lost its entire team in Nanjing. The section chief was scolded by the headquarters and eventually sent them to assassinate him.
"Team leader, are you ready?"
Before the interrogation was over, Yan Ming walked in. There were more torture rooms in the headquarters, four in total. There were many people arrested today, so all four were used together.
The person he was interrogating was Liao Wenting, who had already spoken.
As Xu Qingyun guessed, his job was as an observer, and he was assigned to four missions.
They are the primary signal and the secondary signal respectively.
He didn't know the meaning of the signal. He had to release it when he was notified. Like Liu Qiaosheng, he had to watch the recorder at a fixed time every day and release the signal when he received his unique signal.
He already knew two locations where the signals would be placed.
The method is to have a driver wearing black and white clothes appear at the same time and park the car there.
This is slightly different from Xu Qingyun's guess, but the direction is correct.
It is indeed through the rickshaw pullers and rickshaws that the signal is conveyed.
Black clothes and white clothes are not colors commonly worn by coachmen.
Liao Wenting prepared clothes in advance. After receiving the signal, he would ask the driver to wait for someone. In order to ensure that the signal could be delivered in time, he specially arranged long-term contractors near the two places.
If it's really urgent, he can pull the car over with his clothes and call the people over there.
The other two places are notified in other ways.
There were accidents in those two places.
It was originally his territory, but due to the encroachment of another company, his car could not go there, and he was forced to change his approach when searching for someone failed.
This is also the reason why Xu Qingyun has never been able to find it.
The incident happened relatively early. Yan Ming was not familiar with the operation of a rickshaw company, and he did not expect that he had lost territory.
"Just recruit him. Immediately arrange for someone to listen to the radio and go to the place he mentioned to investigate and find these two people."
There were four offline members in their group, and the group leader Jian Mingfei was dead. Fortunately, Xu Qingyun came back to help.
The back-up man is the observer. He doesn't know who the spies are, but he knows the approximate address. Through investigation, he can find these people.
"Yes, team leader."
Yan Ming took the order, and Xu Qingyun left to check the situation with Fang Laibao.
"Team leader, I'm not here. I left early. But I can see that I left in a hurry and left a lot of things at the scene."
Seeing Xu Qingyun, Fang Laibao immediately stepped forward to report, and Xu Qingyun carefully inspected the scene.
Fang Laibao protected the scene very well, but things were very messy, leaving a lot of things behind, including clothes, shoes, belts, etc., as well as cigarette boxes, matches and other garbage.
But there are no items such as weapons, radios and telescopes.
Those are the military supplies they brought.
Soon Xu Qingyun found something very useful to him, two pairs of slippers.
Even slippers can provide Xu Qingyun with important clues. These two pairs were left behind by two people who escaped, and there are still their footprints at the scene.
Taking the photo and remembering the characteristics of the shoe prints, Xu Qingyun left the room directly.
This house was very close to their military intelligence office, only a few hundred meters away. These Japanese spies were so courageous that they dared to hide so close.
Xu Qingyun walked in front, while Fang Laibao led people to guard the surroundings.
At this time, they already know each other's identity. They are all action personnel, masters of Japanese agents.
There must be no carelessness when it comes to safety.
"Get in the car."
After confirming the direction of their departure, Xu Qingyun immediately asked them to drive in the car. Sitting in the car would increase the safety accordingly.
The two of them were walking in a hurry and carrying so many things, they couldn't run very far.
Six people prepared a safe house in advance, one for each person.
To avoid failure of the operation and having companions caught and confessed, there is no place to hide. Only you know everyone’s safe house to ensure their safety to the maximum extent.
Although the Japanese are despicable and arrogant, they have to admit that they do a pretty good job in terms of security.
Xu Qingyun is not afraid that they have a safe house. He is looking for people through their footprints. The footprints are not broken and they are the same wherever they go.
Not long after, Xu Qingyun got out of the car.
The footprints disappeared, but he immediately discovered a new clue. It was not that the footprints disappeared, but that they rode on the car.
There are bicycle marks where it disappeared.
They brought a lot of stuff, the bicycle mark was obvious, and they only had one bicycle.
Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry and continued to follow.
The city and the wharf and the train station cannot be closed for too long. After they caught the person, the train station and the wharf began to be unblocked. However, because there were fish that slipped through the net, the control was very strict. All people entering and leaving must be inspected and released after confirmation. .
The city gate has not been opened yet and will remain closed for a while.
"parking."
Xu Qingyun suddenly shouted, and Zheng Jiming, who was driving, immediately stepped on the brakes.
Xu Qingyun got off the car and saw an unlocked bicycle parked on the roadside.
Their footprints reappeared on the ground, but in the opposite direction.
The two spies were very cunning and deliberately parked their car at a small intersection to make others think they were leaving through a small road, but in fact they were escaping toward the back.
Xu Qingyun continued to follow the footprints and came to a three-story building.
Their footprints went upstairs.
"Fang Laibao, ask right away if the house here has been rented out, to whom, for what time, if anyone lives in it, and also ask if anyone saw two men taking the house with them two hours ago or so. Bring something in."
Yan Ming went to investigate, and the questioning work continued to be left to Fang Laibao.
Not long after, Fang Laibao came back with someone.
"Team leader, I have asked. There are nine households on each floor of the house. They are all for rent. This is the landlord. I will continue to ask if anyone has seen them." In order to save time, Fang Laibao did not ask carefully himself. He knew that the landlord It was a person, so he simply sent him to Xu Qingyun.
He himself went to look for witnesses and asked for more valuable information.
"Are you the landlord?"
Xu Qingyun looked at him. The landlord was in his forties, short and a little fat.
"Sir, I am a good citizen and have never done anything."
There were many people around Xu Qingyun, some with guns. He was forcibly captured by Fang Laibao, and he was full of anxiety at this time.
"Let me ask you, some time ago, about seven days ago, did anyone rent a house here?"
This group of spies had only been here for a short period of time, only seven or eight days. They would not rent a safe house immediately upon arrival. They would have to wait at least a day or two.
Ask seven days as the most appropriate time.
"Yes, my place is in a good location and the house is beautiful. It is very popular and there are many people renting it."
"I didn't ask you this. Tell him clearly about his personal situation and the situation when he rented the house."
Xu Qingyun scolded, this man is smooth-talking, Xu Qingyun has no time to listen to his nonsense.
"Yes, I say."
Not long after the time passed, the landlord was afraid and did not dare to hide anything. Someone did come to rent the house seven days ago, and it was a short-term rental, only for one month.
"Have you checked his ID?"
Xu Qingyun asked proactively, and the landlord immediately nodded: "I checked, otherwise how could I dare to rent to him?"
"Are you sure you checked?"
Xu Qingyun stared at him and continued to ask. Zheng Jiming, who was next to him, heard what the team leader meant and immediately took out his pistol and pointed it at the landlord.
"Think carefully before answering."
"Sir, I was busy at the time. He said he didn't bring it with him, so I didn't care. I really didn't mean it."
The landlord was so frightened that he trembled all over, and Xu Qingyun glared at him fiercely.
When Japanese spies confessed before, they came in a hurry, and the forged identity documents were very crude, so they didn't use them if they could.
Anyway, you don’t need this when buying train tickets.
As for the rental houses, they all bought them at high prices, including individual rental houses.
This is not a long-term assignment for them, and it won't last too long. They can just rent it for a month first. If they pay more rent, the landlord won't care.
The landlord said he had seen it, and Xu Qingyun knew he was lying.
"Put it down."
Xu Qingyun was not interested in helping the police arrest him, but the landlord could not just let him go to avoid being discovered by Japanese spies.
At this time, they were all hiding out of sight in this building.
"Team leader, I asked. Someone saw that two people were carrying the box upstairs."
Fang Laibao came back soon and reported the good news again.
Two escaped Japanese spies were inside.
"Be prepared to take action and arrest people, whether they are dead or alive."
They were operatives who would leave after their mission was completed. Confessions had already been made and their confessions no longer had much value.
No matter life or death, it can ensure the safety of the people on his side.
Although he was a member of the Operations Section, Xu Qingyun did not want their sacrifice to be in vain, especially at the hands of the Japanese.
"Thank you very much, Team Leader Xu."
The team leader who followed them was still the same captain from the afternoon. Knowing that Xu Qingyun felt sorry for them, he took the initiative to thank them.
"Bang bang."
Soon there were gunshots and the sound of light machine guns inside. Knowing that they were Japanese espionage operators, they specially brought heavy weapons this time.
Not long after, the sound of grenades exploding suddenly came from inside, which made Xu Qingyun's heart tighten.
"Team Leader Xu, both of them are dead. They resisted very strongly and blew up themselves and the radio station with grenades."
The captain came back to report soon, and Xu Qingyun immediately asked: "Where are our people?"
"We are fine. We didn't rush in. We were just firing machine guns from outside."
"It's okay."
Xu Qingyun nodded slightly, walked directly into the building, and quickly entered the house they rented.
The landlord was escorted over and his face turned pale when he saw the miserable situation in his house.
He understood that his house was rented to the wrong person.
The two Japanese spies were already dead. They were indeed cruel. They were hit first and knew they wouldn't survive, so they bitten the poison.
When the poison spreads, he detonates a grenade and blows up the radio station.
As for the code book, it had been burned before they evacuated.
It is indeed a pity that their radio station and code book were not seized.
Shanghai Super High School, they received a report from Nanjing two hours ago.
Based on the clues, the members of the action team found Xu Qingyun's car, and at the same time found the person and assassinated him on the street.
But Xu Qingyun was very vigilant, discovered them in advance, drove away, and they kept chasing. As a result, the other party suddenly received reinforcements, and they were forced to evacuate.
The cable did not say whether they killed the target, but it specifically said that they hit the car in front of them many times and might have hit the other side.
This is the message the captain had called before and arranged for the remaining team members to send back.
After the operation, they successfully escaped. Two people were injured. They would hide in Nanjing for a while and then come back in batches.
The two team members carrying the radio will find a way to leave Nanjing first.
After receiving the telegram, Kawashima immediately ordered to send a report to Shangui to verify whether Xu Qingyun was dead.
If Xu Qingyun dies, it will definitely be a big deal in the Military Intelligence Department, and it cannot be hidden for long.
At this time they are waiting for Nanjing's reply.
"Team Leader Xu, it's so dangerous."
Seeing Xu Qingyun return, Yang Wenxu immediately came to his office. The two people he arrested had already confessed, and he successfully found Jian Mingfei's radio station.
His radio station was hidden in the warehouse, including the code book with the radio station, which was all found by Yang Wenxu.
However, there were more than one booby traps placed near the radio station and code book. Fortunately, they were very careful and found the booby traps and destroyed them.
When they took out the radio, everyone in the intelligence team broke out in a cold sweat.
The radio station is full of explosives.
If this was detonated, everyone who entered the warehouse would probably not be able to leave their bodies intact.
"Team Leader Yang, congratulations."
Xu Qingyun smiled and said that although he failed to capture Jian Mingfei alive, he found the radio station and the code book, which was enough for Yang Wenxu to be promoted to deputy station director of Tianjin Station.
Even the military rank can be improved this time.
Major becomes lieutenant colonel.
Don't underestimate this level. The Military Intelligence Department was established late, and today's military ranks are generally very low, including the chief himself, who is a colonel.
However, this Virgo colonel is different from others. He holds a very important position in the old man's heart, and he is a confidant among his confidants.
Even if he has no rank, ordinary generals would not dare to offend him easily.
Rank is to serve power. The most important thing is to see how much real power you have in your hands. If you have authority, no matter how small your position is, others will still be afraid of you.
Third update, additional update.
