Chapter 211 Catch one
The handwriting identification results have come out. It was indeed written by Khufu. He deliberately changed the way.
However, personal habits cannot be changed, and experts can tell that they were written by the same person.
Why did Khufu do this?
He bought three watches in the watch shop, but the one he brought was not one.
The three watches were not found in his home, indicating that the watches he bought were not in his possession.
"Noble."
Xu Qingyun shouted, and Fang Laibao was also there, helping Xu Qingyun analyze the results found by the other two groups. The useful ones were kept first, and the useless ones were temporarily sealed.
"Team leader."
Fang Laibao came over quickly, and Xu Qingyun looked at him: "Did anyone in Hu Fu's workplace give anyone a watch?"
"I didn't hear them say anything like this."
Fang Laibao shook his head. Xu Qingyun thought for a moment and then ordered: "Go and verify immediately. Not only the people around Khufu, but also his leaders and people who may be able to help him, ask."
Watches are valuable goods, the cheapest one costs more than ten yuan.
The three pieces Khufu bought were worth twenty-four pieces each. Three pieces was seventy-two pieces, not a decimal.
"Yes, I'll go now."
Fang came to the BMW and left. He understood what the team leader meant. The watch Zuo Jinfang investigated was an important clue. He bought the watch. If he didn't give it to the people around him, such as his boss or friends, there were only two possibilities left.
The first is to give the traitor who was incited to rebel, the watch can be used as a reward.
The second is to give his subordinate intelligence officers, which can also be a reward or a kind of concern.
After Zuo Jinfang finished his report, he also left. He was going to the police station to receive the latest investigation results and then summarize them.
"Team leader, we found it."
In the afternoon, Yan Ming ran back happily. Xu Qingyun immediately looked up. Yan Ming found another dead mailbox?
"This dead mailbox is very hidden. Fortunately, I found a few children, attracted them with food, and played a game of finding things, and they helped me find it."
"Children playing sneak attack?"
"Yes, I bought some syrup and other snacks, and they were very positive."
Yan Ming smiled and said that they had been searching today. Later, he saw a group of children playing there and immediately had an idea.
Children can't be spies, they just like to play.
Let them help you search, maybe you will find something.
It turned out that these children had no idea that they were asked to help find the dead mailbox. They simply thought that this was a game, and Yan Ming would give a reward no matter what they found.
The children had a great time, and Yan Ming was even happier.
These children helped him find the dead mailbox without worrying about them leaking the secret.
"Did anyone ask?"
Khufu often goes to these two places, and the next step is to find people who go there frequently. They will go one or two days earlier than Khufu, at least half a day.
The frequency should be about the same.
"I found one and brought it back."
Yan Ming is very efficient in doing things. He knows that the team leader will definitely find such a person, so he has already done it in advance.
"Send John to come and paint his portrait."
Xu Qingyun didn't wait to find the other one. Time was tight. The sooner he drew the portrait, the earlier he could find someone. The second group of people who had drawn the portrait before had already taken the photos for verification.
The remaining two teams in the second group also used it this time.
In the next photo, Xu Qingyun planned to let the people from the Operations Section go, and after the first and third groups were done, he would go and help the second group. He wanted to cast a dragnet to completely net out this group of spies.
"yes."
Yan Ming left in a hurry. He knew where John was. Now that John didn't have a phone, he needed to call a public phone near his residence and inform him.
It's better for him to just run to pick someone up.
Yan Ming found both dead mailboxes, which was of great help in finding Japanese spies.
If a spy does not know that he has been arrested online, he is likely to come again to deliver information. This period is the best opportunity to arrest people.
The upline has been caught. There is no need to keep an eye on these downlines. Once discovered, they can take action.
In the evening, Xu Qingyun returned to his office.
"How are you doing?"
Arriving at the interrogation cell, Xu Qingyun asked the guard here.
"A little better than yesterday, but he doesn't eat or drink. He looks like he's going on a hunger strike."
The guard hurriedly replied that Khufu's bones were very hard, and he was guarded 24 hours a day in his cell to prevent him from committing suicide.
Suicide was impossible, but he could starve himself to death.
But even if he went on a hunger strike, Xu Qingyun would have people force-fed him things and would never let him die easily.
"Take me to see it."
Xu Qingyun handed two packs of cigarettes to each of the two guards. The guards immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Team Leader Xu, please."
Khufu was a key criminal and was kept alone in the innermost cell.
When Xu Qingyun arrived, he was lying down.
"To be honest, I admire you for being able to withstand the punishment. It's a pity that we are enemies. Otherwise, I would really like to buy you two drinks."
Xu Qingyun said slowly, Hu Fu's eyelids jumped, but he did not open them.
This action proved that he was awake and could hear what Xu Qingyun said.
"You Japan has its own land, but you don't want to live your own life peacefully. You always want to rob other people's things. What is the difference between you and bandits?"
"You are an intelligence officer. You know very well what your countrymen have done. As long as they have a little kindness in their hearts, they will not be so crazy."
"There is an old Chinese saying that those who do evil will be punished. Don't think that because there are so many internal disputes in China, you just want to swallow the elephant. You are not qualified. One day, you will have to bear a heavy price."
Xu Qingyun's voice was cold. He knew that Hu Fu could not listen to these words, and China's suffering had not really begun yet.
The saddest eight years are about to come in two more years.
After these eight years and three more years, China will be transformed and will shock the whole world.
What's more important is that in the future, the hard-working Chinese people have blazed their own path, and it won't be long before they can stand on top of the world again.
The vastness of China comes from all directions.
Xu Qingyun firmly believes in this.
"I have found your dead mailbox in Chunhua Lane. It is under the stone. It is really clever."
Xu Qingyun said suddenly, and Hu Fu's eyelids moved again.
The dead mailbox Xu Qingyun found last night did belong to him. He didn't expect the Chinese to find it so quickly. Did they follow him before, or did they find out through other channels?
If the former is okay, it is possible that the other party did not follow him and only knew that he had been to that place. We would search carefully after catching him.
If it's the latter, that would be terrible.
"There's also the dead mailbox on Lan Street. Tell me, among these two dead mailboxes, who will be the first to release information?"
Khufu's eyelids twitched unnaturally. He hadn't gone to this dead mailbox recently. How did the Chinese discover it?
Moreover, this dead mailbox will regularly deliver information immediately. It is not important or time-sensitive information. His offline information is usually delivered once every half month.
Originally, he thought that after the dead mailbox was posted, if the offline people found that he did not go to get the information, they would understand that something happened to him, and other people on his entire line would be able to evacuate in time.
This dead mailbox was discovered by the Chinese. No one else has posted information recently, so they can only wait for the higher-ups to contact him permanently.
But that time is seven days later.
During these seven days, he had two downlines who wanted to deliver information.
These two people may not be able to keep it. "Who gave the three watches you bought to them?"
Xu Qingyun asked again, and Hu Fu's heart sank. Did he even find out about him buying a watch?
This is something he did before. The Chinese must not have been keeping an eye on him at that time. How did they find out?
This young Chinese is too scary. He is not so optimistic now. At least two of his subordinates will not be able to escape the other party's pursuit.
In addition, one person must have been exposed before, and another person may not be able to escape either.
He could lose four down the line.
This loss is too great.
There are only six people in his group offline. Let alone losing four, even three are still half of the loss.
Plus him, it's more than half.
"Get some rest, your companions will come in soon to keep you company."
Xu Qingyun stood up. He didn't expect that Khufu would speak after just asking a few questions. He came today just to stimulate him and see his reaction.
Although he didn't open his eyes, his instinctive reaction already told Xu Qingyun that the dead mailbox they found was correct.
That's enough.
After Xu Qingyun left, Hu Fu finally opened his eyes, with a little fear in his eyes.
Now he can only rely on the people above to find out something happened to him as soon as possible, otherwise the price will be too high.
"Team leader, today we found another place where Khufu has been."
Zuo Jinfang came to report that he found two yesterday and found another one today. If dead mailboxes are found in this place, it proves that at least five of Khufu's men are offline.
"Very well, we'll be there right away."
It had just darkened and there was still time. Finding the mailbox was the key. Now he was competing with the Japanese for time.
Zuo Jinfang led all Xu Qingshi's subordinates. Although this matter was related to the Military Intelligence Department, everyone in the police station knew about the relationship between their team leader and the Military Intelligence Department, so they were very active in doing things and did not dare to neglect anything.
Anyone who dares to be lazy will be severely punished by the director.
The area of two kilometers is not small, but there are a lot of police officers, and the military intelligence department is willing to spend money, so the investigation progress is not slow.
Khufu usually pays attention when he goes out, but he can't cover his face all the time.
It's okay in winter, you can wear a scarf, but in summer every time you wear a mask or scarf when you go out, you will be questioned by the police immediately.
Those old ladies are not all dim-sighted. In order to get high rewards, they can remember things that happened a long time ago.
Yanming, Zuo Jinfang, and Fang Laibao are all there.
There were few people at night, so not many people were noticed looking for something, so Xu Qingyun specially arranged for people to guard the intersection.
"Team leader, I found it. There is a dead mailbox."
More than two hours later, Fang Laibao came to report that they had enough flashlights and were only looking for places where no one saw Khufu staying.
Khufu will be very vigilant when gathering information. He will never move when someone is around and will pretend to be passing by.
This resulted in no one seeing where he was staying.
This is equivalent to narrowing the scope of investigation.
"Great, let's arrange for people to keep an eye on this place immediately."
After checking the dead mailboxes, Xu Qingyun was very happy. Five dead mailboxes had been found, which was enough to prove that their investigation was in the right direction.
There were people left at the scene, and others went back to rest. It was not suitable to set up surveillance points now. They had to rent a house during the day, and the remaining people could only watch outside.
Although the possibility of a spy coming at night is almost non-existent.
But as long as they are discovered, they need to be followed day and night. Brothers who work overtime at night will be rewarded with five yuan each.
The three people left behind could take turns to rest, and they could just watch in secret. There were rewards, so they no longer complained. After all, five yuan was a lot of money. If you save a little, it would be enough for their whole family to eat for a month.
"Team leader, we found someone."
The next morning, Xu Qingyun was at the headquarters, and Yan Ming hurried over.
"Which one did you find?"
Xu Qingyun immediately raised his head, and Yan Ming took out a photo. It was the dead mailbox where Hu Fu obtained information before he was captured.
There is great power in numbers, and it is impossible to make all the portraits similar, but targeted investigations can be carried out.
The second group of people started looking for people on the streets yesterday with the portrait. This time the reward was doubled, and the person who found the portrait would be worth two yuan.
In one day, they found more than a dozen.
Through the investigation of these people, the suspect was finally identified.
"Arrest them immediately."
After listening carefully to Yan Ming's words, Xu Qingyun made his decision immediately.
The man found, like Khufu, came to Nanjing seven years ago and had the opportunity to come into contact with military and government departments.
She lives alone and has never started a family.
Neighbors have a good impression of him and have a good reputation.
My hometown is Northeastern. Northeastern was occupied by the Japanese. Many people escaped, including many in Nanjing.
After finding the person, they immediately took photos.
This morning, I took the photo to the area near his death mailbox and asked. Someone had seen him. Through several people's identification, he was the person who often went there.
There has been no investigation in his hometown, but it can be basically concluded that he is a spy who went to deliver intelligence.
The other similar people either have families, are locals, or can find out the situation in their hometown. He is the only one who meets all the conditions.
"yes."
"Since the second group found the person, let the second group arrest him. You will assist him. He will be interrogated immediately after he is caught."
The credit for arresting people should be given to the second group, but the interrogation cannot be given to them. After all, the case belongs to the fourth group.
"clear."
Yan Ming smiled. The team leader was never greedy for credit and was never stingy when it was time to give others meat.
The second team will be satisfied if they can take credit for arresting people.
He guessed right. After He Rongtang knew that Xu Qingyun asked them to arrest people, he smiled crookedly. He could see clearly that it was indeed easy to make meritorious deeds by following Xu Qingyun.
It’s just a matter of catching one person, it’s not difficult.
When he went out, the second group of ambushes swarmed him and successfully captured him.
Yan Ming took people back for interrogation.
Before the trial, he deliberately escorted Khufu out and walked around so that the arrested people could see his presence on the line.
Sure enough, when the captured man saw Khufu, his expression suddenly changed.
After more than an hour, he spoke, and he was indeed a spy. At the same time, he knew Khufu's real name.
Unlike the one who was captured before, he only knew his code name.
Having the real name and code name will be more helpful for the subsequent interrogation and investigation.
"Yukio Mikami."
Xu Qingyun came to the prison again. After two days of rest, Khufu recovered a lot. Only two punishments were used on him, one was the whip and the other was the electric chair.
The electric chair inflicts internal damage, while the whip mainly injures the skin.
After using the medicine, all the wounds were scarred, otherwise he would not be able to walk.
My status today is average. Please take half a day off to rest and catch up later.
