211. Chapter 210 Personal investigation


Chapter 210 Investigating the case in person
"Group three, you go to each branch, mainly investigating those who settled in Nanjing five to seven years ago, living alone or as a couple, and have the opportunity to come into contact with people in important departments, Shandong, Northeast, People from Rehe and other places are the focus.”

Xu Zhanjie continued to give orders. Khufu came to Nanjing seven years ago. Generally, the leader of the spy team would come first or at the same time.

The latent personnel are not much later than the team leader.

Unless the team leader was transferred later, Khufu had been in Nanjing for seven years and obviously did not fall into this category, so the time was limited to between five and seven years.

"I humble my position and take orders."

Xiang Jason stood up and found out that the four cases were not completed, something went wrong, the spies did not confess, and there was no follow-up.

He didn't expect Xu Qingyun to be so ruthless that he would investigate on his own without even opening his mouth.

If it were him, he might have given up and reported it with this credit.

After all, catching two people is considered a meritorious service. The enemy's failure to speak is not their responsibility. They will slowly let him speak in the future.

It seems that Xu Qingyun can be promoted to deputy section chief instead of him, which does make sense. He is very convinced now.

"Second group, your people are divided into two teams and are on standby. If there is a situation anywhere, we will support you at any time."

Xu Zhanjie looked at He Rongtang. This was a general operation. The second group would not let them idle. However, the second group had people they were watching to prevent them from needing manpower, so they were not used for the time being.

Keep it as a preparation and send it wherever you need it.

"Yes, I understand."

He Rongtang stood up. He was like a firefighter. He didn't care about it. Even if he kept waiting, he would still be useful when needed.

From now on, no one is allowed to go home, they work in pairs, and no one is allowed to leave alone.

Xu Zhanjie issued the final order. Although there was no traitor in the intelligence department, in order to ensure that the information would not be leaked, any possible missed points must be taken into consideration.

Don't give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage.

Outside, Xu Qingyun carefully observed the dead mailbox, then took out a map and compared it with the last dead mailbox where Khufu collected information.

The two dead mailboxes have one thing in common: they are not too far from Khufu's home.

This one is only about 1,500 meters, and the other is about 1,700 meters.

Xu Qingyun drew a straight line distance, and the actual distance must be longer than this.

But this is a small clue.

If he had other subordinates, the dead mailbox was probably still within this range, centered on his home and within a two-kilometer radius.

But dead mailboxes are not that easy to find. The first element of a place where intelligence can be stored and waited for someone to pick it up is to be concealed.

People who don't know about dead mailboxes will never think that there is something inside even if they pass by.

Finding dead mailboxes is a challenge for Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun is not afraid of difficulties. Before there are other clues, even if there are only one ten thousandth chance of success, he will still do his best to investigate.

What's more, if we really find out the approximate range of the dead mailbox and investigate carefully, there is still hope of finding it.

"Find a suitable place to serve as a temporary headquarters."

Xu Qingyun ordered the people around him. Yan Ming was not there and was inquiring about the situation near the dead mailbox. It was his men who were looking for the location.

Time was very tight, Xu Qingyun did not intend to waste time on the road, and directly set up the headquarters here.

But it can't be set up in Khufu's house, that would be sheer stupidity.

Fang Laibao, Khufu's family member, has personally searched and found Khufu's radio station and code book.

Fang Laibao had no problem doing this. He was very careful and cautious. Even if Khufu laid traps such as booby traps, he would not be able to hide them from him.

It was not difficult to find the headquarters. They directly booked a medium-sized hotel to serve as their temporary headquarters.

The biggest advantage of this hotel is that it is in a remote location and has multiple entrances and exits at the front and back doors, making it difficult to be noticed.

Military Intelligence Department, Li Yuanjie returned in a hurry.

The Intelligence Section's mission this time had nothing to do with him, but he had already heard about the situation. There were very few cases handled by the entire Section. This was the first time since he joined.

The Fourth Intelligence Team had been working on a case before and asked them for help, but it was not the same case.

They were never dispatched at the same time. There was always one group that was free.

"Team leader, something happened to Team Leader Xu?"

Li Yuanjie asked anxiously, and He Rongtang's expression suddenly dropped: "What nonsense are you talking about? What can happen to Team Leader Xu?"

"I heard someone said that Team Four failed in handling the case?"

Li Yuanjie was stunned. This was how his subordinates reported to him, mainly because they didn't know clearly. He really thought something had happened to the fourth group, so he rushed back.

"Don't talk nonsense. The case of the fourth group was not solved. They caught two spies, but the ones they caught were too tough and did not confess. Now they need to find out where the other spies are."

He Rongtang scolded that although he and Xu Qingyun had a good relationship, they might not think what they would think if they heard them spreading the news like this.

"Immediately warn your men that no one is allowed to spread rumors to me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Yes, team leader, don't worry, they are fine."

Li Yuanjie nodded repeatedly. He Rongtang did not hide this matter from him. Although Li Yuanjie did not participate, this time the entire intelligence department was handling the case, so it was okay to tell him.

"It's too urgent this time."

After listening to what the team leader said, Li Yuanjie said regretfully that he was not envious or jealous that the fourth team had caught someone, it was just a pity for them.

"Some things are not what you and I want to do. We can't rush the case. Only you and I know what I'm saying today. Don't tell anyone."

He Rongtang said softly that Li Yuanjie was his confidant and was also handling the case, and he was a little anxious before.

This incident let him know that it was just a lesson for him to understand the importance of patience in handling cases.

"I understand, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Li Yuanjie hurriedly promised, and when he left the office, he was very emotional.

He understood what the team leader meant and what was going on.

Team Leader Xu is a very patient person. If he didn't need this credit to help Team Leader Xu get promoted, he would never arrest anyone now. He would definitely wait until all the Japanese spies were found out before taking action.

Team Leader Xu had always done this before.

It's a pity that the section chief was eager to promote him, so he specially ordered to arrest him in advance this time, but he failed to get full credit.

However, spying on Japanese spies does require patience, which may take a long time, and he now understands this deeply.

With the four groups involved, he will never be anxious when staring at people. He will stare slowly and investigate carefully.

After learning yesterday, he was making plans to arrange for people to secretly enter the target room and investigate carefully.

Their counter-reconnaissance arrangements must be destined.

Spies are cunning, and everyone knows this.

Once there are arrangements in their home and they are not aware of it, they will immediately alert the snake and all their previous efforts will be wasted.

Make a plan to ensure nothing goes wrong, and search carefully when you go in, not even a hair is missed. Only in this way can you find out the clues he needs without alerting the spy.

Li Yuanjie is very patient now and understands that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he no longer has the anxious state of mind before.

In Nanjing City, Xu Erxi was leading an investigation.

Only there was no one from the Military Intelligence Division following him. There were five police teams left, and each team was watched by two people from Intelligence Group 4 to prevent them from making mistakes.

This time they were investigating in the name of a wanted criminal.

There was more than one wanted criminal, and there was a photo of Khufu in it, and everyone was specifically looking for older women to ask.

We have captured so many spies, but none of them are aunts.

Asking the aunt is the most reliable.

This time is different from last time. They can't let gangsters come to help and threaten them, but they will still listen to the police.

After questioning, the police told them very seriously.

The people under investigation this time are all murderers, thugs who kill without blinking an eye. If they casually tell the outside world and let the murderer go, they will bear the blame for the murderer.

Not only them, but also their son was taken away together.

In addition, the murderer is very cruel. If his nonsense words reach the murderer's ears, he will attract the murderer's revenge, and then the whole family will die.

Under this threat, those who like gossip dare not tell anyone what happened today to ensure that Khufu's arrest will not be leaked.

These people wandered the streets all day long, and they saw a lot of people.

If they can provide useful clues, they will be rewarded.

This time it's no longer an ocean, but ten.

But if anyone dares to lie and defraud the bounty, not only will the bounty be confiscated, but they will also be punished.

There are four photos in total. Except for Khufu, the remaining people are not in Nanjing. Anyone who talks nonsense will be seen through immediately.

This time it's a photo, not a portrait.

If there are really people who look very similar, then just give them some money, it’s not a big deal.

This investigation is not only in the east of the city, but also in other places.

People who go to other areas will wear plain clothes. If the General Administration asks, Xu Qingshi will blame the Military Intelligence Department, and he will not have to bear the pressure.

Xu Erxi led the team walking street by street.

The first batch of investigations was based on the area drawn by Xu Qingyun for them, with Khufu's house as the center and a radius of two kilometers.

This area is not small. Fortunately, there are many police officers and they can ask questions quickly.

"Team leader, good news. The Japanese spy we captured has revealed the eight moles he incited to rebel. Three of them are in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, four are in the Department of National Defense, and one is in the Executive Yuan."

Dai Jieying quickly came to the headquarters and said happily.

The Japanese spies she interrogated were not that tough, and they finally confessed in the electric chair. None of the eight traitors held very high positions, but one of them had already become a director.

This is the biggest gain this time.

"Don't touch them yet."

Xu Qingyun shook his head slightly. The Japanese spy was caught. Even if these traitors stole the information, they would not be able to spread it out for the time being.

Eight people.

Almost all of them were in important departments. It is conceivable that Khufu's men did not know how many people they had instigated rebellion.

They come for a long time, and on average, even one rebel is enough every year.

This Japanese spy instigated eight people to rebel, and he also overfulfilled his mission.

"yes."

Dai Jieying nodded. She understood that the team leader was handling the case personally and wanted to catch another intelligence agent under Khufu.

As an agent, she understands how difficult this mission is.

For someone who has not spoken, it is almost impossible to find his downline, especially since spies usually use dead mailboxes to communicate and never meet in person, so it is even harder to find.

"Team leader, let me stay and help you."

Dai Jieying's mission has actually been completed. Hu Fu's failure to confess has nothing to do with her. She did a very good job this time. If she had not thought of using the leaked information in the past to track down the traitors, she would not have achieved this gain.

"Okay, you go help Yan Ming first."

Xu Qingyun agreed, and Dai Jieying stayed to help, which was also an exercise for her.

The clues from all aspects were collected continuously, and finally they came to Xu Qingyun.

There were a lot of people dispatched this time and the investigation was very fast.

The Operations Department has not been moved yet. If there are not enough people, hundreds of people from the Operations Department will also help Xu Qingyun.

"Team leader, Hu Fu is very low-key in the unit. He usually guards the information room. I checked the information room. There is a lot of stuff in it, especially a lot of information about unit members."

Fang Laibao first came to report. He went to the Overwatch Council and secretly entered the place where Khufu worked.

The information inside has been sealed, and Fang Laibao read some of it and was shocked.

These materials are not files, but they are more important than files. The Control Yuan mainly monitors people outside the military, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, there is also information about the military, mainly administrative personnel, and combat troops are not within their authority.

"Have you brought anything back?"

Xu Qingyun asked, while Fang Laibao shook his head: "No, the section chief is reporting it to go through the formalities. We can't get these information back without the approval of the people above."

The information contains a lot of secrets, and even their military intelligence department cannot take it away casually.

If you want this information, you must report it and keep it properly without any mistakes.

"It's okay. If you can't bring it back, let someone go there to see it. The section chief will make arrangements."

Xu Qingyun replied that Xu Zhanjie had already dealt with this matter, but it was far less convenient to check it in the Supervisory Yuan than to take it back to the Military Intelligence Office.

In the Military Intelligence Office, multiple people can come together to watch. In the Overwatch Council, they can't admit so many people, and it's easy for others to detect abnormalities.

"Khu Fu doesn't usually have much contact with others in the work unit. His place is the Lengshui Yamen, and there is no oil or gas. He never causes trouble. The only people who are close to him are the other two section chiefs and two of his subordinates."

"We have already taken control of the two section chiefs and brought them back for interrogation. We announced to the outside world that they were the ones who went to study, along with the three section chiefs."

People who are close to Khufu can be brought back to ask questions first. If there is a situation, they can be discovered in time. If there is no situation, they can also ask some things to see if they can find clues.

There was a good reason why three section chiefs were sent to study, so that Khufu's disappearance would not be noticeable.

As for the two people who were brought back, they will definitely not be able to go back during this period of time.

His two men can't move now. If everyone in the data room disappears, it will be easy for others to notice the abnormality.

"Very good, you go back and ask, ask in detail, mainly Khufu's daily life, including what he likes, what he has done, everything in detail, everything must be asked clearly, ask them separately first, and then call them Let’s make up for each other’s mistakes together.”

"Yes, I'll go back now."

People brought by the Control Yuan must be temporarily detained in the unit. They are not prisoners and do not need to be kept in cells. The Military Intelligence Unit has a special place for house arrest and a solitary room.

After all, they are section chiefs, so they should be given a comfortable room with all the things they should have, except for a phone.

Food and accommodation were provided, and they were allowed to rest for a few days at the Military Intelligence Office.

However, Fang Laibao knew in his heart that it was impossible for the two of them to sleep well, and they might even have nightmares.

He was suddenly taken to the intelligence department, where he was imprisoned with no way out, and it was impossible for anyone to sleep peacefully.

In a simple conference room, one of the people brought from the Overwatch Council was sent inside.

Sure enough, there was anxiety on his face.

He already knew where this place was, the Military Intelligence Office, but he didn't understand why the people from the Military Intelligence Office were looking for him.

The Control Yuan also arrests people on a regular basis, but most of them are government officials.

They have the same responsibilities as the Military Intelligence Department, but the objects of supervision are different. The two are like parallel lines. How come they are intertwined?
"Don't be nervous, let me ask you some questions."

Fang Laibao's attitude was as good as possible. The possibility of the two being incited to rebel was very low. Khufu was a spy. He could not target the people around him, otherwise it would be too easy to expose himself.

He has been lurking for seven years. No one has noticed anything unusual for such a long time, and he is still working in the Oversight Council. There is a high probability that the people around him will not be the same.

"Okay, you ask."

The visitor nodded hurriedly. Before asking questions, Fang Laibao asked someone to pour him a glass of warm water and asked the visitor to drink it in one gulp.

It can be seen from this small movement that he is indeed nervous.

"I asked you about Khufu..."

Fang Laibao started to ask questions. The person being asked was a little surprised. It seemed that he had not seen Khufu today. Could it be that Khufu had committed something?
A person who usually seems very honest, what could he possibly do?

Despite his doubts, he answered all Fang Laibao's questions seriously.

This is the Military Intelligence Department, and even they were brought here for questioning. Khufu's crime was not trivial. It is very likely that he did something he shouldn't have done, such as serving other people.

Whether it is the Japanese or those who are at odds with the Chairman, none of it is a trivial matter.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Please go out and wait for a while."

One person, Fang Laibao, asked for more than an hour, and then asked the second person.

I'll ask the two of them together later to see if there's anything they forgot.

At this time, Fang Laibao wrote a lot of things, all of which he thought might be useful. Regardless of whether they could be used or not, he would write them down first.

Outside, Yan Ming finally returned.

There were many people he wanted to ask, mainly people who came here often. He brought back three people. John had already arrived, and Xu Qingyun had someone bring him over in advance.

There is no guarantee that John's portrait is the same as the real person, but it is at least very similar, which is a direction for investigation.

"Team leader, they all have seen people who go there often but don't live there. The three of them are talking about the same person. They are the most suspicious. He is usually a bit sneaky in the past. Another thing is that they have never seen him at the dead mailbox. people."

Yan Ming investigated carefully. Nanjing has a large immigrant population, and people often pass by there, including hawkers doing business.

However, many businessmen often go there. In this era, no matter what business you do, you have a territorial concept.

You can't even go to other people's places to scavenge, let alone these businesses.

In later generations, it is almost impossible to do business by just setting up a stall on the road. In this era, it may be fine for a day or two, but as time goes on, it will be bad luck.

Although there will be urban management in later generations, as long as you do business according to the rules, do not occupy the road at will, and pay the fees normally, the business will always be able to continue.

"John, start drawing."

Xu Qingyun immediately asked John to come over. The person Yan Ming found was most likely Hu Fu's subordinate. With the portrait, at least there would be a target for investigation.

This time more people can be mobilized to search.

According to Yanming's investigation, this person came on foot every time, but it cannot be ruled out that he, like Khufu, first took a yellow cart and then walked.

Regardless of the possibility, the investigation will not be abandoned.

John painted a lot of portraits before, and his painting skills have improved. Now he can draw eight portraits, and his speed has improved a lot.

What used to take more than an hour can now be completed in less than fifty minutes. "Immediately arrange for someone to investigate this person. If you don't have enough manpower, please ask people from the Operations Department to help."

Xu Qingyun handed the portrait to Yan Ming. Yan Ming asked about the person and gave him the investigation task.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Yan Ming left in a hurry. He was most familiar with this investigation method and could make the most appropriate arrangements, save time and increase efficiency.

On the other side, Zuo Jinfang at the police station continued to receive reports.

He analyzed and summarized all the reports, and then sent them to Xu Qingyun.

It was getting dark, and the headquarters was brightly lit.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Xu Qingyun suddenly stood up, and Xu Zhanjie led people to the headquarters. The people behind him were still carrying a lot of things.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Xu Zhanjie asked softly, and Xu Qingyun shook his head slightly. They had been busy and had no time to eat.

"I knew it was important to have something to eat first, but it's important to investigate the case, but you can't do it on an empty stomach."

Xu Zhanjie asked someone to put the food out. He brought more than one portion, a lot. In addition to the food, there were some snacks and fruits.

The weather is hot and meat can't be kept for too long. It's not as good as these things. They can usually eat something to fill their stomachs when they are hungry.

"Thank you, teacher."

Xu Qingyun cleared the table and asked Xu Zhanjie to sit down. They were the only ones in front of the table, while everyone else was eating aside.

"I didn't expect that there are so many tough-minded people among Japanese spies."

After eating for a while, Xu Zhanjie suddenly sighed. He had good intentions in letting Xu Qingyun arrest people in advance. After all, many spies had confessed before, and so far there were only two strong ones.

This ratio is not high.

Moreover, one of these two people was arrested in Tianjin, and the other was arrested when Xu Qingyun first arrived in Nanjing. They have been separated for a long time, but they have been going smoothly recently, paralyzing Xu Zhanjie.

"Teacher, it's my fault, I shouldn't have been so hasty."

Xu Qingyun said softly, Xu Zhanjie glared at him: "How could my order become your fault?"

"But it doesn't matter. At least two were caught. If we don't report this matter, others won't know about it. They can only see the credit in front of us. What's more, we are right in arresting people. If we don't arrest people, any possibility will appear. Last time It’s a lesson.”

Xu Zhanjie would not admit his mistakes. Catching two would be a success, not to mention finding the Japanese spy's radio station and code book.

This is great merit.

Fang Laibao went to search the house first and found the radio station and code book. Khufu had indeed laid the booby traps, but Fang Laibao found them and did not bring any danger to them.

"I have reported this matter to the director. The director said, you don't have to be too anxious. If you can catch it, catch it. If it doesn't work, there is nothing we can do. Yayi Ke and the Transportation Bureau have found the traitor this time. We are already victory."

Xu Zhanjie went to report to Virgo, but Virgo really didn't care that much.

The Japanese spies spoke harshly and failed to produce results during the interrogation. It was not their fault. There were many people like this who refused to speak. The Party Affairs Investigation Department caught more people like this.

"Teacher, thank you for comforting me. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to find out his origins in the next few days."

Xu Qingyun replied immediately. Xu Zhanjie glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

The student didn't understand what he meant.

"Teacher, let me pour you a drink."

Xu Zhanjie brought wine, and Xu Qingyun took the initiative to fill it up for him. He actually heard what Xu Zhanjie meant. Even if Khufu didn't confess, catching him would be a victory. This time the credit was confirmed, and his promotion to major would be no problem.

It's a pity that he and Xu Zhanjie are not the same kind of people.

Xu Zhanjie was indeed very kind to him. This teacher was qualified, but he was too official-oriented. In the final analysis, like many fruitarians, he was all for himself.

Xu Qingyun is not doing it for credit, he really wants to catch these spies. The more spies he catches, the less suffering Nanjing will suffer in the future.

He is only one person and cannot change history, nor can he change the general trend.

What he could do was to destroy Japanese intelligence as much as possible. Even if one person died because of this, it would be a meritorious deed.

What's more, what he did will definitely not be the only person who will die in the future.

Whether on the battlefield or elsewhere, the less intelligence the Japanese get, the less their losses can be mitigated.

"Okay, let's drink."

Xu Zhanjie didn't say much. After all, the student was young. Although he had certain political sensitivity, he was eager to make meritorious deeds and wanted results, which he could understand.

The section chief and the team leader were drinking together, and no one else dared to disturb them.

The two of them didn't drink much, especially Xu Qingyun, who had to work overtime later and couldn't drink too much.

Xu Zhanjie didn't make him drink. He came here in person today simply to comfort Xu Qingyun and tell him not to worry too much about arresting people. It didn't matter whether there was a follow-up or not. They got what they wanted.

That's what he meant.

Xu Qingyun understood.

Xu Zhanjie left quickly. Before leaving, he once again told Xu Qingyun not to pay too much attention and not to work too hard. His health was important.

As soon as he left, Xu Qingyun picked up the information sent by Zuo Jinfang and looked through it carefully.

Zuo Jinfang is also here. The people at the police station are not machines. They have to rest at night and only have time to investigate during the day.

What's more, there aren't many places to check at night.

"He has been to Xiang Kee Watch Shop. Are you sure it's him?"

Xu Qingyun quickly saw the important point, and Zuo Jinfang nodded immediately: "I'm sure there is more than one person who has seen him there. I went to the store and asked. Khufu went to buy a watch, but the registered name was not this. "

Khufu bought three different watches in the store.

Why did he buy so much?
“Lai Bao.”

Xu Qingyun shouted, and Fang Laibao immediately came over from the next room.

Most of the people from the fourth intelligence team are here, and Fang Laibao is also there. They won't go back at night. They have been working overtime these days.

"Did you see Khufu's watch during your search?"

"No, he just has a watch. He has it on his hand. He has it in the office. Do you want me to go back and get it?"

Fang Laibao shook his head. He searched Hufu's house today and did not see a watch.

It's not like their people secretly hid the watch.

The Fourth Intelligence Group has very strict requirements on the home search process. No one dares to hide anything secretly. Once found, it is not as simple as returning. They will be expelled from the Fourth Intelligence Group and sent to a far away place.

No one dares to lose big for small things.

"Go ahead and get it back soon."

Xu Qingyun nodded. It was a bit strange for Khufu to buy a watch. Why did he do this?

And he gave a false name.

The name is fake, but the person is indeed him. They have a photo of Khufu. It is not difficult to verify. One person may remember it wrong, but many people cannot recognize it wrong.

Unless it's someone who looks very much like him.

"Find a handwriting expert to verify his signature tomorrow."

Xu Qingyun then told Zuo Jinfang that tomorrow, including the watches that Fang Laibao went back to pick up, Zuo Jinfang should take them to the watch store to ask if he bought them from them, and if so, whether they were the three watches he bought last time. one.

The watch Khufu bought was of ordinary style and not expensive. However, watches are valuable items in this era, and the price of three watches is not cheap.

"yes."

Zuo Jinfang took the order and brought the register of the watch shop. Xu Qingyun had the words written by Hu Fu in his hand.

On the surface, it doesn't look like that. Xu Qingyun is a footprint expert, not a handwriting expert. To identify handwriting, you need a professional.

In this way, it can be completely confirmed that Khufu went to the watch shop.

In addition to the watch shop, Zuo Jinfang also gained something. He asked about Khufu's whereabouts in two places.

And Khufu has been there many times.

During the seven years that Khufu was in Nanjing, if he went to a place many times, it was impossible for no one to see him.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention those old ladies.

The reward this time was very high. They were very active and wanted the money.

This money can help them a lot.

However, Khufu had only appeared in these two places, and the people who asked did not notice what he had done specifically. To find out the situation, Xu Qingyun needed to go to the scene to observe in person.

"Jin Fang, call Jiming and take a few people out with us."

After carefully looking through Zuo Jinfang's records, Xu Qingyun got up. It was already night now, and this was not the future. The night market was more lively at night, and it was okay to drink outside all night.

Nanjing is the capital city. Except for some specific places, if you run around at night, you are likely to be caught.

Xu Qingyun and the others were not among them, and the police did not dare to arrest them. However, in order to avoid trouble and accidents, Xu Qingyun still brought a few more people with him.

They carry weapons with them. If the police dare to cause trouble, they can take care of them.

"good."

Zuo Jinfang immediately went to call for people, and they were all his team members.

The two cars arrived at the place not long after.

Xu Qingyun had a total of four cars here. The fourth intelligence team originally only had two cars. In order to investigate the case this time, Xu Qingyun went to the General Affairs Office to borrow two more cars.

One of them has just been driven away by Fang Laibao, leaving one for emergency use so that people from the command center can notify them in time if something happens.

"This is right here. According to what they said, Khufu has been here more than once, but he always passed by and no one saw him staying."

Zuo Jinfang pointed to a place and said, Xu Qingyun carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Khufu came here, probably to get information. There is their dead mailbox here. As for no one seeing him stop, it is simple. If the dead mailbox is hidden, he will not let anyone see his stopping actions.

Once he spots someone, he immediately pretends to be walking normally.

"Let's see first."

Xu Qingyun walked very slowly. Their dead mailbox should not be on the road. If it were on the road, no one would see Khufu stop.

There are more people on the road, making it easier to be noticed.

Khufu's previous dead mailbox, even the billboard one, was not on the road, but at the entrance of an alley beside the road.

It seems that he has a habit of placing dead mailboxes in these hidden places.

"Has he appeared in all these places?"

After walking for a while, Xu Qingyun suddenly asked. He was looking for the place where Khufu walked according to what Zuo Jinfang said.

"Yes, these have been passed."

Zuo Jinfang nodded immediately. He asked very detailed questions today. He had handled so many cases with the team leader, and he knew the team leader's character very well.

No matter how big or small you are, you must ask clearly, and no detail can be missed.

"Immediately check the places where no one has seen him, especially hidden places, whether it is on the wall, on the ground, on the tree or on the door, don't miss it anywhere."

Xu Qingyun ordered that he didn't bring many people, so he would check first.

It's not that easy to find a dead mailbox, it's purely a matter of luck, and it's night time.

"Yes, team leader."

Zuo Jinfang and the others didn't say anything. Yan Ming and Zuo Jinfang all groped along. The flashlights they brought were not enough, so they went out to buy more.

Flashlights are rare items in this era and are not cheap, especially the batteries.

"Team leader, something has been discovered."

More than two hours later, Yan Ming suddenly ran over excitedly. He was the most attentive and explored the wall. Finally, he discovered something different in the cracks in the stones under the corner of a house.

Xu Qingyun immediately walked over.

There is a smelly puddle here. A lot of garbage is usually dumped in it. There are many mosquitoes. Many people were bitten by mosquitoes tonight. However, no one complained and everyone was checking it carefully.

Their hands were already dark, the result of touching various things.

"Look."

Yan Ming pointed to the bottom of the stone. The stone was not small and could not be moved by ordinary people. There was a hollow place underneath.

Not only is it hollow, but it also has a little mechanism.

It's not possible to open this hollow place without any special strength. The outside is also made of stones, and the edges are uneven, more like cracks in the stone itself.

This is definitely a death mailbox.

Japanese mailboxes are very hidden. There is a stinky puddle here. The smell is very strong even in winter, let alone summer. Most people are not willing to come here.

And at the corner, people on both sides will be able to notice it immediately.

"Okay, keep an eye on this place right away."

Xu Qingyun was happy that his investigation had worked. He didn't expect to find a dead mailbox so quickly.

Keep an eye on the dead mailbox. As long as the news of Khufu's arrest is not leaked, his subordinates are likely to come and deliver information, and the person will be caught by then.

At this time he had found Khufu's three dead mailboxes.

"Team leader, don't worry. I promise to keep a close eye on you. You and Team Leader Fang will go back first. Jin Fang and I will go to another place to look for you."

Yan Ming said happily that searching at night is not a good view, but it is also beneficial. Unless someone comes out, their actions will not be discovered and they can be kept confidential.

"Don't be too late. If you can't find it, come back."

Xu Qingyun nodded. Time was running out. If he could find another death mailbox, it would be equivalent to finding clues to Khufu's four offline members.

Generally, a spy team only has four people offline, which is their standard equipment.

However, Hu Fu had been here for a long time, and he was an important group. Xu Qingyun would not think hard and would stop when he found four. Tomorrow, Zuo Jinfang and the others would continue their investigation and could not stop.

Facts have proved that this troubleshooting method is indeed effective.

As long as it works, it proves that their direction is not wrong.

This dead mailbox is obviously man-made. Khufu has visited this place many times, so it can be basically concluded that it was arranged by him.

"Don't worry, we won't be too late."

Yan Ming said it wouldn't be too late, but it was already one o'clock in the morning when he returned.

Unfortunately, Yan Ming is not so lucky this time and can only continue the investigation tomorrow. However, with the direction, as long as he is careful, it is possible to find the spy's death mailbox.

The one you just found is proof.

On the way back, Yan Ming and the others met the police. After showing their IDs, the police immediately hid aside.

Yan Ming sternly warned them not to mention to anyone what happened to him and others today, otherwise they would die.

The Military Intelligence Service is performing a secret mission, and this matter cannot be a public concern. If the key points are not mentioned, these police officers will spread the matter to many people tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xu Qingyun got up early.

Yan Ming didn't sleep for a few hours, so he took people out to investigate again at dawn. The view was better during the day, and he was more sure of finding the dead mailbox, but there were also disadvantages. There were so many people, so many people were looking for something, in case one day The spy would come suddenly and be easily noticed by him.

Yan Ming has a lot of ideas, and he came up with a good idea.

He asked a few people to disguise themselves as gangsters, and then found a few gangsters nearby to confront them with knives, so that no one dared to approach.

Others continued the search in groups, each with a disguised identity.

Some people put on shabby clothes and became scavengers, beggars, fools, etc.

These people are the most inconspicuous.

Try to ensure that their actions are not noticed as unusual.

Zuo Jinfang went to the police station. Yesterday's investigation was very effective and yielded results. Today he specially gave the police some rewards to continue the investigation.

One piece of ocean per person, the amount is not much, mainly because there are many police officers, and they will not be able to bear if you give more.

Even if each person is given a piece of ocean a day, as long as they can find the spy's dead mailbox, the money will still be well spent, and the department will reimburse them.

On the other side, Hou Yigong and Xiang Jiesheng and their people were carrying out their own tasks and conducting a comprehensive investigation.

All the information they obtained was sent to Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun is about to be promoted to deputy section chief. This is their opportunity to perform. They know their position as assistant.

But if it is done well, their share of the credit is also indispensable.

Xu Qingyun became even busier, and they sent a lot of information.

Including people who moved here in Nanjing nearly five to seven years ago, as well as all the files of the Supervisory Yuan that were found to have problems but were not processed.

These people are most likely to be incited to rebel.

Xu Qingyun's focus is on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Supervisory Yuan has the power to supervise them, but unfortunately this power is like useless paper. The young men from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs don't care about them at all. Since the establishment of the Supervisory Yuan, it has not dealt with a single person from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

They don't have the guts either.

Xu Qingyun will check all the materials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see if there are other traitors they instigated. As for other materials, he will put them aside for now.

If all of Khufu's associates cannot be found, this information will be equally important. It will be used to investigate and find the traitors to avoid losses caused by intelligence leakage.

"Team leader, I went to the watch shop and asked. The watch found on Khufu was not bought in the watch shop."

Zuo Jinfang was the first to come back. Fang Laibao got the watch yesterday, and Zuo Jinfang went to verify it early in the morning.

A big chapter of ten thousand words.
