Chapter 167 The whole village suffered a disaster
After the second group is checked, if they have no problems, let them secretly check the first and third groups.
People from groups one and three went to the Operations Section, General Affairs Section and other departments to conduct investigations.
Not only those related to the Japanese must be investigated, but anyone related to the Red Party must also be investigated. Regardless of the Japanese or the Red Party, they must not be allowed to install spies within themselves.
Tan Xianglin quickly made arrangements.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Katsuyama took out the radio.
This was the time he had agreed with Shanghai. He chose the morning instead of the evening, mainly because the radio station was used more frequently during the day and was easier to hide.
Katsuyama kept tapping, and the message spread rapidly in the air.
Yan Ming immediately caught the signal he sent and immediately used the codebook to translate it.
Yan Ming smiled when he saw the content.
Shengshan told Shanghai that he had chosen a new target for rebellion, not the security department, but the training department.
The training department is not large. The Lengshui Yamen of the Military Intelligence Department is mainly responsible for training new recruits.
There weren't many people inside.
Their presence in the military intelligence office is not strong and they are more likely to instigate rebellion.
The target he chose was Ma Zhongchun, an ordinary employee with a low sense of presence in the training department.
Ma Zhongchun is a native of Nanjing. Her family has a large population, so her life must be very tight.
The reason why he was selected was simple. Even though his life was not going well, Ma Zhongchun loved gambling.
Although he didn't gamble much, he would do it whenever he had the chance, and he owed a lot of gambling debts for this.
Weaknesses make them easy to target.
Shengshan plans to attack through the casino and let him take his money. Once he takes the money, he can't get rid of himself.
Finally, tell him his identity and let him work for the empire.
Although Katsuyama chose Ma Zhongchun, he was worried that Ma Zhongchun would not be qualified for the task.
Yao Chang was arrested, and the Military Intelligence Department now has stricter management.
The Chief of the Security Section has just been dismissed from his post for investigation. The Director has asked the Inspection Section to intervene and is investigating all disciplinary violations committed by the Chief of the Security Section. This time, he is expected to be unlucky.
In fact, the things he committed were nothing in normal times.
It's a pity that he was unlucky. His men were instigated by the Japanese, which made Virgo worry about his own safety. If no one protects him this time, he will die.
His life and death had nothing to do with Shengshan. Shengshan mentioned in his report that in addition to Ma Zhongchun, he also wanted to try to attack someone from the General Affairs Department.
It's just that this person's weaknesses are not that serious, and his chances of success are not high.
But in the General Affairs Section, he had access to more information and had the opportunity to meet Xu Qingyun.
At least I could take a picture of Xu Qingyun's car.
"Let them do it and see if Ma Zhongchun and the others will be fooled."
Xu Qingyun said to Yan Ming who came to report. After Yan Ming left, Xu Qingyun picked up the information of these two people and looked at it.
The fact that they can be targeted by Japanese spies shows that the Japanese spies understand their situation.
Internal leaks are most likely.
Who knows the details of these two people?
Plus one more person, the former Yao Chang.
Could it be that the traitor is in the Human Resources Department, which knows their situation best? After thinking about it, Xu Qingyun shook his head again.
The Human Resources Department understands everyone's situation, but only superficially. Many situations at home are unclear, but the Supervision Department may.
There is also Xie Shengnan who Miao Feng is investigating. If he knows about these people, his suspicion will increase again.
Miao Feng investigated quickly.
Xie Shengnan is from Shandong, and his family lives in the French Concession in Tianjin. Miao Feng directly asked Wu Shaoshu to verify the situation at his home.
Xie Shengnan joined the Military Intelligence Department because of Cao Dingcheng, deputy chief of the Telecommunications Section.
Cao Dingcheng was a professional telecommunications talent. Xie Shengnan had been his student before and was very talented. Shortly after the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, the telecommunications department selected elites, and Cao Dingcheng brought Xie Shengnan in.
Over the years, Xie Shengnan's performance in the Military Intelligence Department has been satisfactory, without any abnormalities.
But Miao Feng quickly detected an abnormality.
Xie Shengnan has a wife, but she has been in Tianjin and has not brought her to Nanjing.
And he has no children.
Xie Shengnan never mentioned taking his wife over.
After receiving the letter from Xu Qingyun, Miao Feng immediately asked someone to check. It turned out that Xie Shengnan was very popular, and there were people he knew in almost every department.
Including training section.
Although he didn't know Ma Zhongchun, he could learn about Ma Zhongchun's situation through the people he knew.
Not to mention the General Affairs Department.
The same goes for Yao Chang. Xie Shengnan has a good relationship with a captain in the security department, and that captain is one of Yao Chang's creditors.
Xie Shengnan's suspicion increased.
Miao Feng became more energetic and sent another report to Tianjin Station, asking them to be careful when verifying and not to alarm Xie Shengnan's family.
He specially sent electricity to Yang Wenxu, who was from their intelligence department and was his subordinate before.
This investigation is very important and there must be no mistakes.
In the east of the city, Xu Qingshi stood up.
After get off work at noon, he usually goes home to eat instead of eating in the canteen.
Xu Erxi has returned from Shanghai.
"Young Master, the meal is ready. You can eat some first."
Although the cooking skills made by Xu Erxi were average, they were at least edible. Xu Qingshi didn't say anything more and got up directly after eating.
"Let's go for a walk."
Taking Xu Erxi with them, they drove to the place where Lu Hanping died.
This is where Mr. was shot.
What did you do that day?
Xu Qingshi knows Lu Hanping very well. Unless he has something to do, he rarely goes out. Mr. Xu knows that he has been exposed and the enemy has his photos, so he is usually very careful.
He didn't live in this area. Although he didn't know where Lu Hanping lived, he would definitely be in the east of the city.
My husband said that he would rent a house in the east of the city to facilitate their contact in the future.
Sir, he must have his own intentions when he comes here.
Recalling what Erxi said, Xu Qingshi could probably guess that the gentleman was probably here to contact him, and he contacted the organization.
It is Mr. Wang’s greatest wish to regain contact with the organization.
Xu Qingshi was very happy that his husband was able to fulfill his wish. Unfortunately, just when he was fulfilling his wish, he was discovered by the enemy and eventually killed.
After his husband died, he wanted to inherit his last wish and establish contact with the organization.
For this reason, he is not afraid no matter how difficult it is.
It's a pity that he doesn't have any good ideas. At least he was in the organization before, and he has a way to contact the organization. However, he has not actually joined the organization, and it is impossible to find comrades in the organization.
The Red Party is having a hard time right now, and it’s the same everywhere.
They hide in secret and will never reveal their identity to anyone.
If he wants to contact the organization, he has to find a way from his own work.
"Let's go back."
Xu Qingshi didn't get out of the car and asked Xu Erxi to drive back to the police station. It was impossible for him to find anyone here.
"Er Xi, go ask Dou Yingchun to come over."
When it was time to go to work, Xu Qingshi told Xu Erxi that their branch had six sergeants and six deputy sergeants, and Dou Yingchun was one of the deputy sergeants. After the original deputy director fell, his people were taken over by Xu Qingshi, but these people were not among his confidants.
It is impossible for Xu Qingshi to completely trust them.
Several people took the opportunity to join the director, including one of the police chiefs.
Originally, there were two sergeants under the deputy director, but one left. Now Xu Qingshi has only one sergeant, Xu Erxi.
"yes."
Xu Erxi left, and Dou Yingchun quickly came to Xu Qingshi's office.
"Director, are you looking for me?"
After Xu Qingshi arrived, Dou Yingchun also wanted to defect to the director. Unfortunately, his boss was one step ahead of him, and Dou Yingchun was a loyal supporter of the former deputy director. The police chief said bad things to the director, so Dou Yingchun failed to defect to the director. .
In desperation, Dou Yingchun took refuge under Xu Qingshi's door.
Otherwise, it won't be long before he, the deputy police chief, can't be saved. Wherever there are people, there will be chaos, let alone their police station.
Many people are eyeing his position and want to replace him.
In the famous TV series of later generations, Captain Li was very puzzled that someone was trying to punish him without benefiting others.
The stationmaster Wu explained the reason clearly to him: to overshadow you and replace me, this was his motive.
As long as Dou Yingchun shows signs of decline and there are a lot of people who want his position, who doesn't want to be promoted?
Only with power can you have money.
This is even more apparent at the police station.
"Last time, the director asked you to go to East Second Street, but I didn't agree."
Xu Qingshi said lightly that East Second Street belongs to their branch, but it is a slum, and there is not much oil and water there.
Dou Yingchun was startled and hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Thank you very much, Director, you are my benefactor."
"I won't tell you, but you should know who wants you to go to East Second Street."
Xu Qingshi said softly, and Dou Yingchun immediately showed a look of gnashing his teeth: "That piece of shit Hu Yaodong is a fool, it must be him."
Hu Yaodong is Dou Yingchun's boss and his police sergeant.
"As long as you know, I can protect you once, but I can't protect you for the rest of your life. You know very well what to do."
Xu Qingshi nodded. He wanted to contact the organization and needed more power. When he came to the east of the city, he had the purpose of fighting for power. Now he wanted to take action.
Dou Yingchun was the one who took refuge in him and was not reliable.
He never thought about really treating Dou Yingchun as a confidant, but there was no problem in provoking internal fighting between them.
If Dou Yingchun can capture Hu Yaodong, Xu Qingshi will guarantee him to be the sergeant. In this way, he will have two of the six sergeants.
It is normal for a deputy chief to have two chiefs, one is too few.
Those who master three are strong deputy directors.
If you master four, and also master other important departments of the police station, such as the Personnel Department, Logistics Department, etc., it is equivalent to eliminating the director, and it will not take long for him to become a regular.
Xu Qingshi doesn't think so far now and takes the first step.
"I understand, but with the director here, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with him."
Dou Yingchun looked troubled. He understood the meaning of Xu Qingshi's words, but he did not think that he was Hu Yaodong's opponent.
"You don't have to worry about the chief. I have everything under control. Remember, I don't want waste under my command. If you can't be the chief, I won't protect you in the future. You can go wherever you want."
Xu Qingshi shook his head slightly. This was a request and a threat to Dou Yingchun.
It's also true.
As long as he doesn't do well, he will definitely be sent to a remote place next time, and then he will be slowly taken care of by Hu Yaodong.
"Don't worry, Director, I can definitely do it."
Dou Yingchun was startled and hurriedly promised that he did not want to be marginalized. If Xu Qingshi did not support him, Hu Yaodong would easily kill him.
"Go ahead."
Xu Qingshi waved his hand, and Dou Yingchun turned to him. On the surface, he belonged to him, and he would continue to look for reliable personnel.
Xu Erxi cannot be the only one under his command.
He needs to cultivate his own power within the police station. The stronger the power, the more likely he is to obtain more intelligence about the Red Party and strive to find the organization.
At the Military Intelligence Department, Miao Feng found out that Xie Shengnan might know the secrets of many people and immediately put him under surveillance.
The verification from Tianjin Station will be sent soon.
Xie Shengnan's family runs a shoe store in the concession, and the business is pretty good. It matches his profile, but their family is not from Tianjin, but from Shandong.
Tianjin Station has verified it for them, and the next step is their hometown in Shandong.
"Hou Yigong, send a few people to Shandong to personally verify the situation in Xie Shengnan's hometown."
Miao Feng called a team leader, and this time he verified that he did not ask Jinan Station to help. Xie Shengnan's hometown is in Lunan, which is not too far from Nanjing, so he might as well send someone there himself.
"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to come over right away."
Hou Yigong responded that he was the person who assisted Miao Feng in investigating the case and knew all the progress.
"Go ahead and be careful."
Miao Feng nodded. While he was investigating Xie Shengnan, Yan Ming also gained something.
The two spies went to the small casino where Ma Zhongchun often went.
Ma Zhongchun went indeed.
Yan Ming didn't give any warning. If Ma Zhongchun couldn't resist the temptation and defected to the Japanese, no one would be able to save him.
His habit of gambling is his fault. If someone finds an opportunity to take advantage of him, he will bring it upon himself.
According to the contents of their telegram, Yan Ming already knew that they still had twelve operatives.
Twelve people came at once, and it seemed that they were really ruthless and would not stop until the team leader was removed.
Yan Ming was not sure whether the two spies knew where the twelve operators were hiding, so he simply continued to wait.
At the same time, we will conduct a survey on groups that have recently arrived in Nanjing, especially those with large numbers of people.
These people are action personnel. They will not go to work to avoid being unable to gather when action is needed.
They are most likely hiding somewhere, waiting for news.
Having handled so many cases with Xu Qingyun, Yan Ming is very patient now and he can afford to wait.
Ma Zhongchun was lucky today and started to win a bit.
Unfortunately, he soon lost all his money.
Shengshan took the initiative to lend him money, but Ma Zhongchun didn't think much about it. He took the money and continued gambling. The result was predictable, and he lost everything in the end.
Shengshan did not ask Ma Zhongchun for debt, but only asked him to sign an IOU.
Finally, he was given a piece of ocean so that he could explain when he returned home.
Ma Zhongchun owed a lot of gambling debts, so he didn't care if he added a few dollars this time. As long as he was lucky, he could win them all back.
For three consecutive days, Ma Zhongchun lost money.
Unknowingly, he already owed Shengshan hundreds of yuan, not a small amount.
"The whole village was hit by a disaster, and there are no survivors?"
Miao Feng suddenly stood up, and the people sent by Hou Yigong to Shandong to inquire about the situation reported back that Xie Shengnan's hometown encountered bandits two years ago, and all the people in the village were killed.
Where are the bandits so cruel that they kill so many people?
Bandits know how to kill, but generally they will not kill them all. Unless they are provoked, they will kill too many people, which will easily arouse public resentment and attract the army to encircle and suppress them.
Besides, many bandits are locals, not the crazy ones, and few people do this.
