Chapter 161 The person is missing
"Tell me, at this point, there is no point in hiding it."
Seeing his shocked look, Xu Qingyun knew what he was thinking. Fortunately, no matter how tough the Japanese were before, they were very well-behaved once they surrendered.
"His name is..."
Sure enough, Xiaoguan didn't hide it. The reason why his faith was completely destroyed was that he didn't want to continue to bear the pain, rather than protecting his companions.
After confessing, there was no need for him to continue to suffer torture for his companions.
"Laibao, go arrest them immediately."
Fang Laibao is here, he is of high rank, Xu Qingyun directly asked him to catch him.
"Team leader, let Yan Ming go."
Fang Laibao said with a smile. Xu Qingyun was slightly startled and immediately understood what he meant.
Fang Laibao was afraid that he would be promoted to military rank if he made too many meritorious deeds.
The two of them are different. Fang Laibao has already been promoted to captain, and he is likely to be promoted as soon as he gets the credit. Xu Qingyun has just been promoted. No matter how much credit he has, he will have to wait for time.
Unless specifically approved.
"Team Leader Fang, you better go."
Yan Ming took the initiative and said that he also understood Fang Laibao's thoughts, but Fang Laibao thought too low of the team leader.
The team leader's rank was very low at first, and he was just a lieutenant when he came.
Fang Laibao was already a captain at that time, and the team leader didn't care at all.
"Lai Bao, you don't have to think too much. If you have the opportunity, you can rise in rank. Don't delay."
Moreover, Yan Ming is already a lieutenant, and Xu Qingyun and Fang Laibao are captains. It is difficult for Yan Ming to be promoted to the same level as the two team leaders.
"Yes, team leader."
After Xu Qingyun said this, Fang Laibao did not refuse and left in a hurry. This time, the credit was no less than catching little Guan Denan.
The other party is a telegraph operator and has a radio station.
If there is a radio station, there is a code book. The seizure of the code book is the biggest contributor. The Military Intelligence Office has always wanted the Japanese code book so that it can be deciphered.
The more codebooks there are, the faster they can decipher them.
Fang Laibao called the people from the Action Department, and a lot of people came.
After getting their weapons, more than 20 people went out.
There were still people from the Operations Department serving as sentries at the door. They had strong opinions, but no one dared to mention them.
Xu Zhanjie is investigating the entire security department.
In just one day, many problems were discovered.
The head of the security department is probably going to be unlucky this time. He will definitely not be able to keep his position. It depends on whether he can save his life.
He himself had no major problems, but his abilities were limited and his management of his subordinates was lax. He usually knew how to accept filial piety. Xu Zhanjie even found out that someone could get in by giving money to the sentry.
Virgo would never tolerate such a thing.
What follows is an example. The section chief just wants to collect money, and they will do it for money. Fortunately, it doesn't happen often, and not everyone dares to do it.
There are only three people identified so far, and Yao Chang is one of them.
He had no choice but to collect money at the door, so when the Japanese came to find him, he immediately fell into trouble when he saw the gold bars.
With such chaotic management, it would be strange for Virgo to spare him.
"Team Leader Fang, the person is inside."
Fang Laibao arrived at the place quickly. It was already dark and the lights were on in the house. The people from the operations department carefully touched it and listened against the wall. If there was any movement inside, they would report it immediately.
"If we don't arrest him today, we'll keep an eye on him first, and then we'll take action when he goes out tomorrow."
Fang Laibao looked around and then said that it was not good to lure him out at night. Anyone who knocked on the door would alert him.
We can only attack by force.
However, Japanese spies are ferocious, and a strong attack is likely to cause damage to those on their side.
There was such an example in Tianjin.
"Thank you, Team Leader Fang."
A team leader from the action team was overjoyed and immediately thanked him.
In the case of a forceful attack, he and his men would be the ones directly facing the danger. Since the people from the Operations Department are here, it must be their task to arrest people.
Fang Laibao chose to arrest people tomorrow, which is equivalent to helping them avoid danger. This favor is very important, and he needs it.
It is far safer to act during the day when people are out than to arrest people in the house at night.
Fang Laibao was not impatient at all. He was not in a hurry, but there was someone who was. John ran around all day long, trying to find ways to borrow money, and mortgaged the gallery, and finally scraped together $3,500.
He wrote a contract in hand, read it several times, and came to see Xu Qingyun early the next morning.
He couldn't get in with the sentry before, and he couldn't even get in with the people from the operations department here.
John didn't know how to give money to the sentry, and he didn't even give him a cigarette.
"Let's go, the team leader is in the office."
Zheng Jiming came out to pick him up. When John went in, he glared at the sentry at the door. Although he couldn't get in when he came before, the sentry was at least easy to talk to.
The sentries ignored him.
"Xu, I brought the money. This is our contract. Take a look at it."
John took out the contract first. Xu Qingyun didn't expect that he had prepared this thing, so he took it and looked through it carefully.
The contract is very detailed, but the key points are just a few.
First, Xu Qingyun wanted to ensure the safety of his funds and buy goods worth five thousand US dollars. He had already written down the goods, most of which were stockings and perfume.
These things sell best.
The second is safety. If there is a safety accident on the road, Xu Qingyun will be responsible and must compensate him for all the goods. Seeing this, Xu Qingyun smiled. Did this John move the unequal treaties between countries here?
"I will only be responsible for the safety of your funds before the goods are purchased. The transportation of goods is inherently risky. If something goes wrong, I will pay more than you."
Xu Qingyun shook his head and said, John is a smart kid, but his shrewdness is useless.
If he wants to sell goods, let him do it. If the goods are small, that's fine. If there are more goods, let him see if he sells well.
The purchase price is US$5,000, and the goods can be sold for more than US$10,000, worth thirty or forty thousand oceans.
No wonder he has to be so easy to sell.
"If nothing happens, what if you tell me something happened?"
John asked immediately, and Xu Qingyun smiled: "Are you a fool? As long as something happens, the ship will be in trouble. Everyone's goods are all inside. Did I fake this?"
Xu Qingyun was right. Even though their goods cost tens of thousands of dollars, they didn't take up much space and it was impossible to charter a ship to transport them.
They can't afford it either. The freight for a cargo ship is not cheap.
In later generations, tolls would cost millions of dollars to cross the strait, so you know how much the shipping costs would be if transported as is.
Their oil is also priced in millions.
"Okay, I can change this."
After thinking about it for a while, John finally agreed that if something happened to the cargo, it would be something that happened to the entire ship, and it could indeed be found out.
The main reason is that all his wealth is here and he has to be careful.
After dawdling for half an hour, John finally changed the contract.
Some small details were beneficial to John, so Xu Qingyun didn't argue with him and signed without hesitation.
"This is the address and money. I can't guarantee that their goods have not been sold out. Because he is in an emergency and needs to return to China as soon as possible, so he sells it cheaper."
After signing, John finally took out the money and contact information. Xu Qingyun's face suddenly dropped when he heard his words.
He can't guarantee that the goods are still there. Isn't this a joke?
“If the goods are not there, I will bear half of the travel expenses.”
John hurriedly said that if the goods were not there, it would be like running away in vain. He should bear the travel expenses. He was sensible for once.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over right away."
Xu Qingyun didn't talk nonsense to him, took the money, asked Zheng Jiming to count it over, and then put it in the drawer.
"Okay, as soon as possible."
John nodded immediately. He was more anxious than Xu Qingyun. If he could make money this time, it would be equivalent to him having capital. He could buy more goods to sell in the future, which would be better than running his small gallery.
He does like painting, and opening a gallery is his hobby, but now he just wants to make money, and his interest has been put aside.
His interest is useless and he can't make much money. He wants to live a life like a master and become a rich man.
He came to the East to prospect for gold. He wanted to make a lot of money before returning to China.
"Er Xi, come to my house."
After sending John away, Xu Qingyun called Erxi. It would be most appropriate for Xu Erxi to give away the remaining money.
He is from the Xu family, and this time the Xu family gave him a lot of money, which is equivalent to family business.
"Okay, young master, I'll be there in a minute."
"You asked Xu Fuzhong to bring more people to the Philippines, especially those Americans. If the goods are available, buy them. You don't have to check whether there is a suitable source of goods. As long as they are not too expensive, let him go directly. Take people to America.”
Xu Qingyun ordered that Erxi didn't even let Erxi take John's $3,500.
If the goods from the Philippines are gone, the money will be returned to him.
However, half of the travel expenses will be deducted from him. This stingy and greedy guy said that if he had to pay half of the travel expenses if he ran out of goods, Xu Qingyun would not help him save it.
"If anything happens, ask them to send a telegram and contact them in time."
It's a pity that they can't go out with the radio station. In Shanghai, they are applying for a commercial radio station, which has not been approved yet.
They were on a boat and could not carry a radio, and it would not be allowed on board.
When the business gets bigger in the future and I have my own ships, radio stations can be placed on each ship to facilitate communication.
However, no matter how fast the radio is, it is not as convenient as the mobile phone in later generations.
If you want to find someone, just call them. The conversation is direct, no code translation is needed at all.
"Okay, I'll go to the train station right away and tell Brother Fuzhong this."
"Go ahead and take a few more people with you."
Xu Erxi carried a lot of money with him. It was not safe to be alone. This time he had to buy a first-class seat and bring not only people but also guns.
In addition to Xu Erxi's own men, Xu Qingyun also sent two people to him.
After Xu Erxi left, Xu Qingyun ignored him and received good news as soon as he returned to the Military Intelligence Office.
Fang Laibao successfully caught the person.
He waited until almost noon before the spy went out. The person he wanted to arrest this time had no other companions, so there was no need to keep it secret.
The capture went smoothly, no one was injured and they were captured alive.
After successfully finding his radio station and code book, Fang Laibao was taking people back to the Military Intelligence Office.
Tan Xianglin, the intelligence section chief of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, was looking at the four people in front of him.
The deputy leader and three captains of the second group.
Their team leader was missing. He didn't come to work yesterday. He called home and said he hadn't been home all night. The men in the second team didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone knew that Shi Qingbin had an affair, including his wife.
Shi Qingbin was a fruiter and could not openly take concubines and could only raise children outside. His wife was not brave enough and did not dare to ask. She was relieved that she did not bring her home. At least she did not have to be bullied by the concubines at home.
