The Spy

Chapter 15 Spy Report
The sun gently peeks out from the eastern edge, and golden rays of sunlight sprinkle on the earth, bringing new warmth and vitality to the world.

The temperature rises quietly, and the breath of spring gradually permeates the air. Under the sunshine, the snow melts rapidly, as if to take away the last chill of winter.

At the Police Headquarters, Xu Qingshi quickly ran into Wang Jiansheng's office.

"Chief, I found out. We saw the suspect near the teahouse and we know where he lives. I took the flower girl to identify him early this morning and confirmed that it was him."

"You found it too?"

Wang Jiansheng suddenly stood up from his chair. Today was the day he was going to go to Tongjulou to keep his appointment, and it was also the time of his "assassination". Yesterday his younger brother gave him good news, and today his older brother gave him another surprise.

Although 'being assassinated' is acting, it is not so glorious after all, so it is better to avoid it if possible.

"Notify Xu Qingyun, you all close the net at the same time, arrest people secretly, and interrogate them suddenly after arresting them to see if they have accomplices."

Wang Jiansheng gave the order decisively, and Xu Qingshi happily accepted it: "Yes, I will notify him immediately, and at the same time close the net and arrest him secretly."

Yesterday morning he received a notice from Xu Qingyun that he had found the person who went to the newspaper to publish the signal and had seen through his disguise.

My younger brother was lucky, and he was also lucky. Yesterday he personally led people to scout near the teahouse all day, secretly asking questions with the portrait. He did not ask people blindly, but only those who had families and were not very courageous.

After being questioned, these people dared not speak carelessly for fear of bringing disaster to their families.

After Xu Qingshi left, Wang Jiansheng did not sit back at his desk. He went to the window and looked out.

Outside, the small trees shyly stretched out their tender green buds, and a few new leaves were impatient to come out. Spring had indeed come, but at this moment he was not admiring the scenery outside the window. Instead, he smiled and recalled the entire case process.

From the capture of Hu Qi to today, it has only been four days.

If the two men succeed in making the arrest today, they will have captured five Japanese agents, an average of more than one per day.

With such efficiency, he wanted to ask, who in the country can compare with it?
With Xu Qingshi here, there are enough manpower to capture the person. Xu Qingshi is his confidant and has many elite soldiers under his command. As long as they find the person, it will not be difficult to capture him.

He now begins to look forward to the subsequent harvest.

Xu Qingyun's performance this time was beyond his expectations. Xu Qingshi's ability to find the person was also due to Xu Qingyun's contribution.

Even he had overlooked the teahouse clue at first. It was Xu Qingyun who thought of it carefully and asked Xu Qingshi to investigate.

Their Tianjin Police Department was about to become famous, and Wang Jiansheng was in a very happy mood at this moment.

When some people are in a good mood, some people are in a bad mood.

In a private room of a teahouse, Wu Shaoshu's face was livid as he listened to the report from the person in front of him.

Cao Yunfeng stood behind him, not daring to breathe.

"Are you sure they arrested Japanese agents?"

The person sitting opposite Wu Shaoshu nodded quickly: "Confirmed, someone close to Wang Jiansheng got drunk the day before yesterday and let it slip. He said that our police department will soon be exposed throughout the country. Three Japanese agents have been arrested so far, and there may be more to come."

Wu Shaoshu is the station chief of the Military Intelligence Department’s Tianjin Station and has just taken office.

The Military Intelligence Department supervises the military and police, and they have spies in both the police station and the military. This morning, Wu Shaoshu didn't have much to do, so he went to check the report from the nearest spy.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.

Yesterday, the police station's spies reported that someone in the police station had captured three Japanese agents, but Cao Yunfeng, the head of the intelligence team, did not report this immediately. Wu Shaoshu came late, and most of the spies were developed before, and the intelligence team leader Cao Yunfeng was responsible for it.

After asking, he was almost furious. He didn't even look at the information collected and organized by Cao Yunfeng. He didn't value the information from the police station and would only look at it once every ten days or half a month.

If Wu Shaoshu hadn't suddenly wanted to know what had happened in the police station and the military recently, he would probably only know it when the police station announced it to the public.

Upon learning that the Tianjin Police Department had captured a Japanese spy, Wu Shaoshu immediately asked Cao Yunfeng to call out the police station's spy and interrogate him personally.

The Military Intelligence Department was established not long ago, in 32, less than three years ago. Their ranks are not high, but their power is enormous, and they are only responsible to the Chairman.

The main tasks are to collect various types of intelligence, counter-espionage, supervise the military and police, etc.

Over the past three years, they have performed outstandingly in intelligence and military and police work and have been commended many times. However, they have not achieved much in the area of ​​counter-espionage and anti-Japanese intelligence gathering.

Before Wu Shaoshu took office, the director specifically talked to him. Tianjin has an important geographical location, the Japanese have considerable influence in Tianjin, and Japanese spies are rampant. His main task after taking office is to target Japanese spies, try to find some of them, and preferably get their code books.

It has been less than a month since Wu Shaoshu arrived in Tianjin after the New Year.

Intelligence team leader Cao Yunfeng was not his man. He had just arrived in Tianjin and was not fully familiar with the place, so he was not touched for the time being.

I didn't expect that he would make such a big mistake this time.

"Where is the person?" Wu Shaoshu asked viciously.

The person on the other side was startled and shook his head hurriedly: "I don't know, my rank is not high, I just heard about it."

"Investigate immediately. If you find out, I will give you a great credit. Don't you want to come to the Military Intelligence Department? I can transfer you here and make you a captain in the action team. If you do a good job, I will promote you to team leader in the future."

Wu Shaoshu gave a decisive order that catching the Japanese agents was a good thing, but it needed to be done in his hands, not the police station.

If he gets the credit, not only will his position as stationmaster be as secure as a rock, but he will also be appreciated by the director and have better development in the future. But if the police station exposes it first, he can imagine how angry the director will be.

They are a professional counterintelligence department. The police have always had a bad reputation and are regarded as good-for-nothings by them. They cannot do what the good-for-nothings have done. Doesn't that mean they are even worse than the good-for-nothings?
Thinking of this, Wu Shaoshu felt a little scared. Fortunately, he read these reports today, otherwise it would not be as simple as just being scolded.

"Thank you, Station Master. I will go back and investigate right away."

The person on the other side was slightly startled, and then said excitedly, "Although the Military Intelligence Department has only a small number of people, it has enormous power."

Being able to be a team leader in the Military Intelligence Department is definitely much better than his current position.

What's more, he didn't dare to refuse. The Military Intelligence Department was supervising them. He was a spy and belonged to the Military Intelligence Department. If he refused, they would have many ways to kill him.

As soon as he left, Cao Yunfeng lowered his head and said, "Stationmaster, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Let's go find Wang Jiansheng and ask for the person. Does he dare not give it to us?"

"What if he doesn't admit it?" Wu Shaoshu turned around and looked at Cao Yunfeng with dissatisfaction.

"He dares not admit it?"

Cao Yunfeng was stunned. They supervised the military and police and were naturally superior to the police. Cao Yunfeng had been in Tianjin and was used to being a tough guy. Normally, no police dared to provoke him.

"Nonsense, who is willing to give up the credit? Go back and let me think about what to do."

Wu Shaoshu glared at him fiercely, stood up and left with his sleeves flicked.
