The Spy

Chapter 120 Taking Out My Anger on You
This time, the goddess of luck did not favor Xu Qingyun. He continued to walk forward for another hundred meters, but still did not find the bicycle mark.

Changing direction, there was a densely populated area ahead, and there were more traces on the ground.

The same happened in both directions; Xu Qingyun completely lost all trace and the tracking failed.

This is the most feared situation when tracking in the city.

Yan Ming followed behind, watching Xu Qingyun keep his head down, carefully identifying every trace on the ground.

The bicycle prints are not much different. It is hard to imagine how difficult it is to find the traces that disappeared in the front among so many prints.

He now finally understood that the ability of team leader was not as easy as he thought, and he could recognize it just by looking at it.

"To another place."

After making sure that all traces had disappeared and could not be tracked, Xu Qingyun got into the car.

"Team leader, if you are angry, take it out on me."

Yan Ming had been driving carefully and suddenly said that he saw Xu Qingyun had been silent and thought that he was sulking because he failed to catch the Japanese spy.

"Take it out on you?"

Xu Qingyun was very surprised, and immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and shook his head: "I'm not that fragile. It's normal that I can't catch her. It's really lucky that I can catch her."

Tracking within the city is the most difficult, and this is not the first time Xu Qingyun has failed. There are more examples of his failure in tracking within the city in later generations.

However, he was very touched that Yan Ming could say this.

"Team leader, do you really think so?" Yan Ming asked carefully.

"Drive well."

Xu Qingyun's tone was sharp, but Yan Ming was not angry at all. Instead, he grinned.

The second place we went to was the walking area. Xu Qingyun first came to take a look at the footprints on the ground. The photos were far less detailed than what he saw with his own eyes.

There were too many footprints, so Xu Qingyun asked the boss a few more questions.

Originally three people were selected, and now one has been removed, leaving two suspects.

The person who called had left, and Xu Qingyun did not track them. However, with their phone records, he could check based on the addresses they called. Even if they called from different places each time, there would always be some pattern.

Especially this one, he came here on foot, so it is very likely that he lives not too far away.

"Team leader, according to our investigation, this couple who live in Yangshu Hutong pass by the entrance of the photo studio every day, and their children also go to school there."

When I got back to the office, Fang Laibao had already returned. There were only five households, so the investigation was not difficult.

They quickly found out the situations of the five households and finally locked on this couple, as they were the only ones who had the conditions.

The couple is not very old and has an eight-year-old child. The child was already five years old when they came. According to the neighbors, their child is a little introverted and very shy. The couple is very strict with the child and the child will be beaten if he is not obedient.

Nowadays, it is believed that beating children will make them filial, and it is natural for parents to beat their children, and no one can question it.

“Do you spank your child a lot?”

Xu Qingyun frowned and Fang Laibao was slightly stunned. He thought the team leader would ask the couple about their work, the time they passed by the photo studio every day, etc., but he didn't expect to ask about the child.

"Quite a lot. One time I was so beaten that I couldn't get out of bed for several days."

The neighbors all knew about it and told them everything when they inquired. Even the neighbors felt that the couple was a bit harsh on the child, after all, the child was still so young.

"Where is the child?" Xu Qingyun suddenly asked.

"At the Sixth Primary School, it is school time and you should be in school."

Fang Laibao said quickly, Xu Qingyun looked at his watch and tapped the table lightly.

The couple passed by the photo studio every day. The man worked for a French trading company, and the woman worked as an accountant in a British firm at home.

Good work, very cultural.

Since you are an educated person, why are you so bad to your children?
Xu Qingyun does not deny that there are psychopaths in this world who are extremely bad to children, but most of them still love their children. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Parents all hope that their children will get better and better.

Another thing is that their children's school is a little far away, and they live on campus and only come back on weekends.

There is a school very close to them on the other side of the street, so they can go home, but the tuition is higher.

Both of them have normal jobs and their salaries are not low, so why not let their children go to the nearest and best school?

“Immediately verify the identity of the couple and put them under surveillance, including the children.”

Xu Qingyun was not worried that the child had problems. He was so young, and even if there were problems, it would be the parents' responsibility. He was worried that the child was not his biological child. If there really was a problem between the two of them and something went wrong, the child might be persecuted.

Assuming that the two were Japanese spies and the child was used as a cover-up, all the previous abnormal phenomena would be explained.

They are not their biological children, and they are Japanese, so how can they give the best treatment to their children?
He beats and scolds his children for no reason, perhaps even venting his anger.

The same goes for the school. It is not right not to let the child go to school. After all, he is the only child. It is even more inappropriate to keep him at home every day. What they do is shameful in itself.

So they sent such young children to boarding schools to avoid noticing anything abnormal in them.

Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry. After all, the two of them were not from Shandong. They were from Dangtu, Anhui Province, not far from Nanjing.

Since they were so close, there was no need to ask for help from others. Xu Qingyun directly sent someone to verify the identity. Regardless of whether the identity was true or not, he brought a radio and sent a message back to report after verification, thus saving time.

Fang Laibao personally led people to check, and the task of keeping an eye on the person was given to Team Leader Yang.

After keeping an eye on several people in a row, Team Leader Yang is now very motivated.

Previously in Tianjin, he did not participate in the case because he was accompanying Xu Zhanjie. This time was different. Nanjing was their home ground and he was personally involved. As long as the Japanese spy could be caught, he would definitely have a share of the credit.

Xu Qingyun is making good progress, but Miao Feng is having a headache.

After receiving the task, he immediately called several team leaders over and asked how many people knew about their intelligence department's mission. The traitor must be an insider, so he would first identify the insider and then conduct an investigation.

The result gave him a headache.

Many people in the General Affairs, Security, and Interrogation departments know about it.

Including telecommunications department.

The Telecommunications Department's office building is right next to them. With so many people coming in and out, the Telecommunications Department can see them just by turning their heads outside.

There are too many people who know the truth.

There was no other way, so Miao Feng started to check how many people had left the office after they set out, especially during working hours.

There were too many people at off-hours and he couldn't check.

The results are not out yet, he can only wait patiently.

Shanghai Special High Section, Aoki Mori came to the office again.

"Team leader, the four observers contacted by phone have all called back. They are currently safe."

Aoki Mori whispered that he didn't think anything would happen to the observer. Observers and intelligence officers were two different lines and didn't know each other. Moreover, observers did not collect intelligence, just like normal people, so the risk of exposure was the lowest.

However, as undercover personnel, they have the mission of inciting rebellion and collecting intelligence, and are very likely to be discovered to be abnormal by the Military Intelligence Department.

"Where are the other observers?" Kawashima asked, nodding.

"They have different methods. We will know everything tomorrow at the latest."

There are many Special High Police observers, but not all of them make phone calls. Making a phone call is the fastest way, but also the most risky.

Others sent telegrams through the telegraph office, while others placed advertisements in newspapers.

Newspapers from Nanjing can be bought in Shanghai.

"Where's the sleeper cell?"

Kawashima was most concerned about their undercover team. If something happened to the undercover team, the loss would be too great. Over the years, they had spent a lot of energy, financial resources, and manpower to set up these undercover teams in Nanjing. Each one of them was a treasure.

The last time he exposed one of them and was forced to withdraw, he felt extremely distressed.

"Three more responded, and nothing happened to their people."

Aoki Mori replied, and Kawashima breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing happened, Nanjing was not their territory, and the help they could provide to the undercover agents in Nanjing was limited.

"Section Chief, could it be that the Military Intelligence Department is targeting someone else, not us?"

Aoki Sen asked in a low voice. The information Shan Gui had obtained was limited, and he didn't dare let him investigate in detail. Now the situation was entirely based on speculation.

"It's possible. Just let the mountain ghost take his own course. No matter who he is, he will eventually find out after a while."

Kawashima nodded. It was good that nothing happened to their people. The Military Intelligence Department’s responsibility was not only to deal with them, but also the military and police.

If problems arise within the military or police, they will also take action.

"Should we let other intelligence agents know about the recent developments in Nanjing?"

Qing Musen asked again, the information brought by the mountain ghost made them restless for several days.

They couldn't sleep well because they didn't know the specific situation.

Now is not the past. A very powerful Chinese agent has come to Nanjing and has arrested two people from the Hangzhou Special High Section.

"Tell them to inquire under the condition of protecting themselves."

Kawashima agreed. Like Aoki Mori, he had to find out what the Nanjing Military Intelligence Office had done.

"Hay."

Aoki Mori sent out a report and mobilized undercover intelligence agents to collect information on the latest situation in Nanjing to determine the specific whereabouts of the Military Intelligence Department.

In Nanjing, various investigations are ongoing, and the two Japanese spies, Ji Shenghai and An Guocai, have been closely watched.

"Team Leader Xu, An Guocai suddenly changed his clothes and went out."

Yang Wenxu, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the person, sent someone to report the situation to Xu Qingyun. An Guocai's behavior today was different from usual, so he might have a mission.

"Tell your team leader to stay alert and don't be impulsive. Only by keeping an eye on the situation can you gain more."

Xu Qingyun reminded that it was a good thing that An Guocai showed abnormal behavior. According to Xu Qingyun's judgment, he and Ji Shenghai were both ordinary intelligence officers and did not have a radio station.

The intelligence they obtained needed to be reported to their superiors, and after they reported the intelligence, their superiors would send it to Shanghai.

Their appearance online is Xu Qingyun’s most important goal this time.

"Don't worry, our team leader will never be impulsive."

The person who came to report left with a smile. He was a member of the second group who had been seconded by Xu Qingyun before, and had worked with Xu Qingyun on cases before.

At this time, An Guocai was wearing a black suit, a hat, and a pocket watch hanging on his chest.

He deliberately went out when no one was around, and looked around from time to time while walking on the road, being very alert.

The person being followed was at a great distance to avoid being spotted by him.

When they arrived at the entrance of an alley, An Guocai suddenly walked in, and Yang Wenxu, who was in charge of the command at the back, immediately learned of this situation.

This alley is a complex area, and he didn't know whether he went in as an anti-tracking action or his destination was this place.

Yang Wenxu was a little hesitant.

If this is a counter-tracking action, if you rashly follow in at this time, you are likely to startle the other party, and all your arrangements will be wasted, and you won't be able to find anyone who might be contacting him.

But if we don't go in, if An Guocai really takes action inside, we will lose surveillance over him.

"Team leader, he's out again."

Before he made a decision, his men came to report quickly. Yang Wenxu breathed a sigh of relief. It was an anti-tracking action. Fortunately, he did not act recklessly.

Xu Qingyun's reminder was correct. Ning Diuwu was awake. If he couldn't keep up this time, there would be next time. But if he was discovered, he would have to arrest people by force.

If you fail to capture the enemy alive, or if the enemy escapes, your merit will turn into a fault.

"Follow."

Yang Wenxu didn't say much, just let him continue to hang from a distance, and finally watched An Guocai get on a rickshaw.

By car, it seems that the place he is going is not close.

Two team members also followed in rickshaws from a distance, and several other team members rode bicycles, trying to find a way to get in front of An Guocai, while Yang Wenxu continued to give orders on the rickshaw.

"Team leader, An Guocai got off the car and entered the park."

The person who was following came back to report, and Yang Wenxu was shocked. Did An Guocai come to the park to meet him?

The park is indeed suitable for meetings. There are many people here, it is not conspicuous, and the view is wide. There are people monitoring and you can find out in time. More importantly, you don’t have to worry about being overheard when talking.

"Watch from a distance and pay attention. Keep an eye on anyone who comes into contact with him."

Once Yang Wenxu gives the order, the big fish will show up, and the greatest credit of this operation will most likely fall into his hands.

Of course, he didn't think about competing with Xu Qingyun.

She was in charge of the case, and all the clues were discovered by Xu Qingyun. He could not compare at all.

What he wanted was the greatest credit other than Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun was very nice this time. He gave him the task of arresting people before, and now he gave him the task of keeping an eye on people. He should remember this favor.

"Team leader, An Guocai went back. He didn't contact anyone?"

"gone back?"

Yang Wenxu was stunned. He cleaned up so neatly, changed into clothes that were totally inconsistent with his status, ran so far, and just walked around in there for more than half an hour?

Even if you're taking a walk, you don't need to run that far, right?

"What did he do in there?"

Yang Wenxu asked anxiously. He must have a purpose for coming here. It was not a connection, but it might be a dead mailbox. Everything he did was very crucial.

"I kept walking, smelling the flowers from time to time, and even picked one. Then I stopped at a trash can for a while, and then sat on a chair for about three minutes, and then left the park."

The subordinate replied, and Yang Wenxu quickly gave an order: "Continue to follow him and take me to the park to have a look."

If it is a dead mailbox, the trash can where he stopped and the chair he sat on are very important and must be carefully checked.

Yang Wenxu personally led people to the trash can.

This trash can is a bit old, smelly and worn. Yang Wenxu pinched his nose and carefully checked every area around the trash can, including the ground.

In the end, nothing was found.

"Team leader, it's this stone bench."

Coming to the rectangular stone bench, Yang Wenxu checked it again, focusing on the area around the bench, the materials, and underneath the bench.

In the end, there was still no gain.

He even lay on the ground to see if there was any trace of anything sticking under the stone bench.

As a result, everything is normal below, without any trace.
