The Spy

Chapter 286 Is Xu Qingyun a member of the Red Party?
"Don't worry, we promise to cooperate."

When Qin Junlin received a call from Xu Qingyun, he immediately replied that the Military Intelligence Department had a task for them to cooperate with and asked them to send more vehicles.

There is no need for too many people. Their task is to assist from the outside, be alert to the surroundings, keep an eye on the people who like to watch the excitement, control the scene, and prevent them from affecting the operations of the Military Intelligence Department.

There is no need to use our own people, it is purely peripheral cooperation, there is no danger at all, this is a good thing, Qin Junlin will not refuse.

Cooperating with the Military Intelligence Department, that's merit.

Besides, Xu Qingyun was never stingy. Not only would the participating police officers be rewarded, he would also get a lot of benefits. For example, even if he was not informed, he would still try for it as long as he knew about it.

The police gathered quickly. They were peripheral supporters and did not need too many people.

When they arrived at the Military Intelligence Department, they had no idea what the mission was or where they were going.

"Set off."

After the police arrived, Yan Ming waved his hand and the intelligence team and the action team set off immediately. They had been prepared and were just waiting for the police.

People from other groups were watching eagerly. They understood that after working together for so long, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

They didn't know how many Japanese spies to find out and how many people to arrest.

I don’t even know his identity as a Japanese spy.

Even the investigators only knew their own case. The specific number and situation of Japanese spies were only known by Xu Qingyun and Yan Ming.

Dai Jieying and Fu Wenzhen are the same, they only know what they have done.

Xu Qingyun has always had high requirements for confidentiality.

Although they didn't know the real situation, seeing so many people mobilized, even with the assistance of the police, everyone understood that they were going to arrest a lot of people this time.

I just don't know if there are any people who have reported it themselves.

It would be best if there is one, which is equivalent to making a meritorious service.

There was a reward for reporting Japanese spies, but the reward was not given out immediately, so many people were looking forward to it, hoping that they could find the real Japanese spy.

No need for more, just one is enough.

They were not on the front line and usually had no chance to catch Japanese spies. It was Zhuzi from the General Affairs Group who discovered something unusual in the teahouse. The second time a Japanese spy was discovered in the teahouse was by someone from the Action Group.

After that, no suspicious people came to the teahouse.

Naturally, the others lost the opportunity to make merit.

This will be the best opportunity for all other employees, and everyone hopes to make a contribution.

Fu Wenzhen led his men and went straight to Yin Xingze.

This was the Japanese spy he had identified.

Yin Xingze is busy. He works as a salesman in a trading company.

This business is quite large. Yin Xingze successfully sold their goods to the garrison and the police station. He was appreciated by the boss and is now the deputy manager.

He has a separate office.

"Manager Yin, there is a big client and the general manager wants you to come over."

Fu Wenzhen disguised himself as a purchasing staff. His current identity was a merchant from Chongqing who wanted to buy a large quantity of their goods.

Chongqing is remote, and most purchases there go to Wuhan and Shanghai.

Wuhan has its own advantages, with direct trains to Guangzhou.

Goods from Guangzhou can be shipped directly to Wuhan, and the freight from Wuhan to Chongqing is lower than that from Shanghai.

Many people from Chongqing and Chengdu do come to Wuhan to purchase goods.

Fu Wenzhen wanted a large quantity of goods and was a big customer. Yin Xingze was the smartest person in their company. The general manager was afraid that he would not be able to reach an agreement, so he specially asked someone to call Yin Xingze over.

Noticing Yin Xingze coming in, Fu Wenzhen smiled.

He was worried that Yin Xingze might have a gun hidden in his office or drugs on him, so he didn't arrest him outright. After luring him out, as long as he could control him, Yin Xingze wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Boss Fu, this is the deputy manager of my company..."

The general manager hurriedly introduced that they were in the reception room. Fu Wenzhen had brought a lot of people with him. Before he finished speaking, the people standing at the door moved.

Fu Wenzhen leads veteran team members with rich experience in arresting people.

Several people cooperated to control Yin Xingze's hands and mouth first, so that he had no chance to take poison or grab a gun or grenade, and then searched him.

He had no weapons on him.

However, he found something powdery on the corner of his clothes. Fu Wenzhen did not dare to be careless and asked someone to tear off the corner of his clothes and take it back for testing.

Even if it was really poison, he couldn't commit suicide by taking it now.

"Boss Fu, what are you doing?"

The general manager stood there in a daze. He never expected that the person who came to discuss business would suddenly arrest his deputy manager.

"Take them together."

Fu Wenzhen ignored him. The general manager was not a Japanese spy. They had investigated it, but Yin Xingze had worked here for several months and they were not sure whether the general manager had been implicated by him.

Not only the general manager, but also other people in the company who had contact with Yin Xingze many times.

All of them must be taken back for investigation and verification, and only those who are confirmed to be innocent will be released.

Those who know Yin Xingze’s identity and work for him will find it difficult to get out in this life.

However, the possibility of this is very low. Japanese spies rarely recruit people around them to defect, let alone people whose intelligence is of little help.

But all the necessary procedures will be followed.

Xu Qingyun is rigorous in his work, and he also brought this style to Wuhan Station.

Similar things happened in other places. Yan Ming was in the office, but he had no intention of looking at anything. He kept walking around and finally came to Xu Qingyun's office.

"What, are you nervous?"

Seeing his expression, Xu Qingyun asked with a smile, and Yan Ming shook his head: "I'm not nervous, I'm a little worried about them. Wuhan has never arrested so many people at once."

He was too concerned to be in a panic, after all, this was the first time he had led the arrest of so many people at once.

In Nanjing, they also caught a multi-day spy once, but the person in charge was Xu Qingyun, not him.

"As long as they train well, do their job seriously and don't make mistakes, that's fine."

Xu Qingyun also didn't say anything too confident. During the arrest process, any accident could happen. Even if they did their best, the Japanese spies were a factor they could not control.

Moreover, the Japanese spies knew the consequences of being captured, and they would all fight to the death. These Japanese spies were not afraid of death and were willing to die together with their loved ones at any time.

"Yes, I understand. I'll wait for them here. You've always had good luck. I hope you can bring them good luck."

Yan Ming smiled, Xu Qingyun chuckled and shook his head. If Yan Ming wanted to stay, then let him stay. It wouldn't take too long to catch the man anyway, and the result would be known soon.

It was indeed not too long to wait. About ten minutes after Yan Ming arrived, there were vehicles returning from outside.

Many people were taken down. Those wearing hoods and tied up all over were Japanese spies. The others were people around the Japanese spies who were brought back for investigation.

The men were checked to make sure they had no weapons.

When they were caught, everyone was scared, but soon they noticed something different, as the men searched them and looked at everything they had, including their money.

Some people also wear some jewelry, such as rings, or thumb rings, pipes, various necklaces, etc.

Women wear more jewelry.

The people who searched simply checked their things carefully and then returned them to them.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

They have never even heard of it. As ordinary people, they can hardly keep any valuables on them if they are searched.

When they arrived at the Military Intelligence Department, they were not thrown into jail.

A lot of people were captured this time, and the prison definitely cannot hold all of them. The station has already prepared a place to detain these people first.

The intelligence team members who successfully captured the person immediately interrogated the Japanese spy, and these people were questioned one by one by the action team.

After a thorough investigation, if there are no problems, they can be released tomorrow at the latest.

Wuhan Station will also provide them with meals, so that they can have enough to eat.

Yan Ming could no longer sit still and left Xu Qingyun. He wanted to personally participate in the interrogation and pry open the mouths of these Japanese spies as soon as possible.

Where there is the first, there is the second.

The team members who went out to capture people returned one after another. When the seventh wave came back, they brought bad news.

There was an accident when they were capturing the man. The target was very strong and they were unable to control him immediately. He actually bit the corner of his clothes.

The poison hidden in his clothes was highly toxic and he died soon after.

Fortunately, no one among the arresting officers was injured, which was a blessing in disguise.

Failure to bring back the person alive meant their capture was a failure.

About an hour later, all the people who had gone out came back, and except for the one who committed suicide by taking poison, all the others were captured alive.

There was only one accident in catching eighteen people, so the success rate was very high.

The more this happens, the more uncomfortable the team that made the mistake will feel. Everyone else is fine, but they have problems. This is not a meritorious service, but a fault.

Yan Ming knew that a Japanese spy had died, but he didn't have time to deal with the matter at the moment. There were only two interrogation rooms in Wuhan Station, and he had to interrogate the Japanese spies separately. There were also people who were brought back, totaling more than 200 people, which was more than all the people in Wuhan Station combined.

These people must also be properly resettled.

Everyone in the intelligence team and the action team is busy, and the cafeteria is even busier. So many people have been captured, and their meals are the same as those in the station. We need to buy a lot more vegetables today, otherwise there will definitely not be enough to eat.

People from other groups came out to help, mainly to accommodate those who were brought back together, and to help the action team record the interrogations.

They are not the focus, the most important thing is the 18 Japanese spies.

Yan Ming was not polite to these people and would fight them for half an hour first.

The first person being interrogated confessed after less than an hour of being forced to confess, and after that more and more people confessed.

The quality of these Japanese spies was also mixed. Some could last for more than an hour, while others could not even hold on for half an hour.

There were also two people who were tortured for two hours without any confession. The interrogators did not have the patience to let them waste their time, so they took other people away for interrogation first and interrogated them last.

If they don't confess, they will only suffer more. Wuhan Station has plenty of punishments to deal with them.

"Stationmaster, ten people have been recruited."

After dark, Yan Ming came to report to Xu Qingyun exhausted. Eighteen people were arrested, and ten of them confessed before the interrogation was completed. This ratio was not low.

"They are indeed Japanese spies. They are all new agents who have just completed training. However, they are not in the same training base. So far, three places have been found. Among those who surrendered, two are acting team leaders. They are from different bases."

The acting group leaders are not very old either. They are the best performing students among their peers and can be said to be the elite among the elites.

Xu Qingyun didn't care about these things, he was arresting the elite Japanese spies.

No matter how powerful an elite is, he can't hide from him.

"Just as we guessed before, they are new recruits brought by the new section chief Yoshinaga. They were ordered to go undercover, smooth out the relationship first, and then collect intelligence. If they get useful intelligence, they will report it to the team leader. However, they have been here for too short a time, and they haven't gotten any useful intelligence yet."

Not having received any intelligence meant that they were doomed to failure without doing anything, at least no intelligence was passed to Japan.

That's a good point.

Agents are not easy to train. This time they caught so many of them. Even an old dog like Tsuchihara would be heartbroken.

These Japanese spies confessed that they were students in an undercover class. There were only fifteen people in each class, and there was only one undercover class in each training school.

The undercover class has the strictest management. Students are only called by code names internally, and they live in single rooms. They have to wear masks during class and are not allowed to contact other people in the training school.

This time, fifteen people were arrested, which is equivalent to arresting an entire class of students from the other side.

The training cycle is one year. Even if there are three bases, there are at most 45 people. Losing one-third of them at a time would be strange for Tuyuan not to be hurt.

"The rest of the people should be interrogated as soon as possible. Those who refuse to confess should be interrogated next. Those who have confessed should be checked to see if they have concealed anything in their confessions. Those who have no problems should be released."

Xu Qingyun instructed that keeping so many people in the station would take up a lot of energy, and people would be needed to guard them, question them, etc.

The more people they let out, the more relaxed they will be.

"Yes."

Yan Ming left. By comparing the confessions of the Japanese spies and questioning everyone, Yan Ming released dozens of people not long after he arrived.

Not only did they release them, they also arranged for people to send them home.

It was a bit late, and if so many of them were walking on the street by themselves, they would be easily questioned by the police.

Those who were released felt like they were dreaming.

After being locked up for so long, even if they didn't know they were from the Military Intelligence Department, they now knew who had captured them. After learning that it was a spy, almost everyone was in despair.

Can you still survive if you fall into the hands of spies?
Fortunately, some people have heard about the Military Intelligence Department. For example, the person who was arrested for exchanging legal tender last time was released in the end, which gave them some hope.

But others said that the Military Intelligence Department arrested them deliberately just for money. Even if they could survive, they would lose everything and would starve to death sooner or later.

When you are imprisoned, there are basically all kinds of explanations.

They were already scared and many people cried, but when they actually got home, they found that nothing was wrong.

The Military Intelligence Department not only gave them food, but also sent them home without asking them for a penny.

Is this still a spy?

At least it was different from what they usually heard about spies.

The next morning, the Military Intelligence Department released another group of people, leaving only a few dozen people in custody.

Yan Ming did not sleep all night, and there were many other people who did not sleep either.

However, the results were brilliant. Currently, there are only three people who have not confessed, and the mouths of the remaining fifteen people have all been pried open.

With so many Japanese spies surrendering, naturally many were released.

These Japanese spies are very vigilant. Only one person knows the identity of the Japanese spy around him, so this person has no chance of escaping.

He was the boss of a Japanese spy. Because he knew many people in the military and political circles, the Japanese spies set their sights on him. If they could persuade him to defect and get his help, the Japanese spies believed they would be able to bring important Chinese people into the water.

He did not agree, but he was guilty of not reporting the incident.

The Military Intelligence Department mobilized as a whole and arrested so many people. It caused quite a stir and could not be concealed from anyone with ulterior motives.

Tong Changming knew that Xu Qingyun had arrested people yesterday. "Stationmaster, it's confirmed. It is said that several hundred people were arrested, but there are only 10 to 20 real Japanese spies. The exact number is not clear yet."

The new intelligence team leader Huang Bohan came to the office to report that Tong Changming could no longer tolerate Ran Zhaolin and used the failure of the last operation as an excuse to remove him.

After all, he was his confidant, so Tong Changming did not treat him too harshly and transferred him back to the headquarters. Ran Zhaolin's original position was certainly gone, but fortunately he retained his rank and waited for a comeback.

Huang Bohan was transferred from the headquarters. He was the former deputy team leader of the Intelligence Department. He was transferred to Wuhan as the team leader, which was considered a promotion.

Tan Xianglin didn't want to let him go at first. Tong Changming said a lot of good things and finally got a professional talent. The main reason was that Huang Bohan was not Tan Xianglin's man and had no strong background. Such a person was easy to cultivate into a confidant, otherwise Tong Changming would not have chosen him.

Yesterday, it was discovered that the Military Intelligence Department was carrying out a major operation, and Tong Changming immediately asked him to investigate the situation.

We will definitely not get any results from the military intelligence department, but the police were involved in yesterday's operation, so we can find out the specific situation through the police station.

"Only a dozen or so? A dozen or so is too few?"

Tong Changming glared at him. If these twenty or so people were all Japanese spies, it would mean that the Wuhan Station of the Military Intelligence Department had achieved a huge success.

He even lowered his head.

He has been in Wuhan for quite some time, but has not caught any Red Party members so far.

"Not a little, Station Master. I made a mistake."

Huang Bohan lowered his head. He had not been in Wuhan for long and was usually very cautious.

Although he was promoted and held a high level in the branch station, Tong Changming was not his backer, so he had to be careful in what he did.

"Keep watching them to see if they are all Japanese spies."

Tong Changming did not continue to blame him. It was not easy for Huang Bohan to find out the result so quickly. At least he was better than Ran Zhaolin.

Although the identity of the arrested person has not been confirmed yet, based on his understanding of Xu Qingyun, Tong Changming guessed that the person arrested this time was most likely a Japanese spy.

Xu Qingyun is capable, as Tianjin and Nanjing have already proven.

If he takes action, he will use swift and thunderous means and will not make a mistake.

His life was already difficult, and now that Xu Qingyun had achieved such great results, his life will become even more difficult.

"Yes."

Huang Bohan took the order and left. At the same time, in the Japanese Concession, Yoshinaga was sitting on the edge of his seat.

He also knew about the actions of the Military Intelligence Department. Yesterday he asked the intelligence team leader Bei Ze to investigate the details, but Bei Ze has not returned yet.

But based on the few pieces of information he had found out, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Was it really his people who were arrested?
Now he could only wait and verify to see how many of his men were found by Military Intelligence this time.

There are five hidden groups in Wuhan, three of which are new members brought by him.

What he is focusing on now is the people he brought with him. If the original two groups suffer losses, he at least has a reason to let Kitazawa take the blame. Both groups are under Kitazawa's responsibility.

But if anything happens to the people he brings, the responsibility will definitely be on him.

He could still accept a smaller loss, but if an entire team was lost, he would be scolded by the chief section chief.

If he lost two teams, he didn't know how to explain to the chief executive.

He didn't dare to think about losing three people. Three was equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army, and the chief section chief would definitely not forgive him.

He had to apply for these three groups with great difficulty from the chief section chief, who was only prepared to give him two at first. It was only after he pestered him and promised to make achievements in Wuhan that the chief gave him one more.

"Professor."

It was not until noon that Kitazawa returned to the Japanese Concession. It was much easier for Huang Bohan to inquire than for him. After all, Huang Bohan was a spy from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and the police did not dare to conceal it.

He has to investigate secretly, which takes longer.

"What exactly happened?" Yoshinaga asked immediately.

"The Military Intelligence Department did dispatch a lot of people yesterday and arrested a lot of people. According to what I learned, they divided into 18 groups and arrested people in 18 places. I have confirmed that three of our undercover agents have been arrested. Fortunately, no team leader has been arrested. They are dormant again. I have asked others to be vigilant."

Bei Ze whispered that after three people were caught, he had a feeling that he might be finished.

However, the Military Intelligence Department arrested more than just these three people. Who are the others? Did they arrest the wrong people, or did they arrest someone else?

This is possible, but unfortunately he is also largely responsible for the loss of three people.

"What about other places?"

Yoshinaga asked again. The Military Intelligence Department dispatched more than a dozen waves, but Kitazawa only confirmed three. If the others were agents he brought with him, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

"I don't know, but I found out the address of their operation, and this is where I wrote it down."

Kitazawa handed over the investigation results with both hands. He was not aware of the people brought by Yoshinaga, so naturally he did not know their identities.

Yoshinaga grabbed the record and looked through it carefully.

After a while, his hands began to shake unnaturally.

He arranged these people personally and knew exactly where they were. Bei Ze used a clumsy method. Wherever someone was arrested yesterday, he would investigate and write down the address.

The Military Intelligence Department took away so many people that it was impossible to hide their location.

With each address, Yoshinaga's heart sank.

Those were the hiding places of the people he brought with him. After he finished looking at the last one, his eyes suddenly went dark and he almost fell down.

"Section Chief, what's wrong with you?"

Kitazawa asked hurriedly, and Yoshinaga shook his head with difficulty: "I'm fine."

Unfortunately, he didn't notice that his voice was also trembling when he spoke.

"You go out first."

Yoshinaga waved his hand. Kitazawa was a little confused, but still obeyed the order and left. When he left, he looked back again and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

He understood why Yoshinaga lost his composure.

It was unusual that Yoshinaga came to take office with a small number of people, and there was no further arrangements afterwards. It was very likely that he brought back a group of undercover agents from the headquarters but did not let himself know.

It seems that one of his people was arrested this time.

I just don’t know how many were arrested.

After realizing this, Kitazawa suddenly relaxed a lot. He only lost three people, while Yoshinaga might have lost more. In this case, he had a greater responsibility, and even if the higher-ups blamed him, they would punish him first.

My punishment can be reduced a lot.

After Kitazawa left, Yoshinaga looked at the address again and closed his eyes in pain.

Fifteen addresses, all where his people were.

Fifteen people, three groups, all gone?

How could this happen? Who betrayed them?
Yoshinaga instinctively suspected that they had been betrayed, otherwise how could the Military Intelligence Department be so accurate as to catch them all at once?

But he quickly rejected this idea.

In the whole Wuhan, I am the only one who knows the addresses of all of them.

The headquarters does have archives, but they are kept extremely confidential. No one knows about them except the chief section chief, who is most strict in keeping them.

Suspecting the headquarters is equivalent to doubting the chief section chief. He hasn't lived enough and is seeking death on his own initiative.

After a while, Yoshinaga stood up. He wanted to go out and check for himself whether all the people had really been arrested.

Or maybe it could be someone else who happened to be with his people.

Yoshinaga knew that this was just deceiving himself, but unfortunately he had no other choice but to pray like this.

Yoshinaga didn't bring many people with him. He was not worried about himself because he had a diplomatic status and the Chinese didn't dare to do anything to him.

Even if we know that he is in charge of intelligence, it will be fine as long as we don't catch him in the act.

Even if he was caught in the act, the most he could do was deport him, and he could still return to the Japanese Concession.

When they arrived at the nearest place, Yoshinaga got out of the car and asked, but he was disappointed when he didn't get any result.

He was asking about the situation of the undercover personnel, but as soon as he said the name, the person he was questioning ran away in fear, fearing that saying one more word to him would bring unnecessary disaster.

Why did this person react so strongly, even treating him as a monster?

It must be that the person he was asking about had gotten into trouble, and he had been implicated before, so he didn't dare to mention anything related to this person again.

The second place, the third place.

In half a day, he visited fifteen places, and without exception, he did not see a single one of his own.

Even if there is only one left, it would be fine. Even if his identity is exposed, Yoshinaga can bring him back to the Japanese Concession.

Yoshinaga knew very well how difficult it was to train these hidden agents. It could be said that a lot of effort had been put into each of them and a lot of money had been spent.

The empire's finances were not rich, and there were still many poor people in the country who had no food to eat.

Xu Qingyun was ruthless enough and didn't leave him any.

What on earth happened to these people?
He had no insider information in the Military Intelligence Department and had no idea why.

One thing he was very clear about was that he had done his job as section chief.

"Kitazawa?"

Yoshinaga suddenly thought of a name. Could Kitazawa take the blame for this matter?

After thinking about it, Yoshinaga's face was full of bitterness. Kitazawa was completely unaware of the situation and it was impossible for him to take the blame. If he had not been on guard against him in the beginning and had really handed these people over to him, now at least there would be someone to help him take the blame.

Because of selfishness, he has to bear the responsibility alone this time.

"Send a message to headquarters..."

After returning to the Japanese Concession, Yoshinaga said weakly that he could not and dared not hide this matter.

He made a mistake, but it wasn't a crime punishable by death. If he concealed it and the chief section chief found out, he would probably lose his life.

He knew very well how ruthless the chief section chief was. Two former chiefs of the Shanghai Special High Section were executed by the chief section chief himself. Fortunately, he had only made a mistake and did not take action against anyone inside.

If he were to frame Bei Ze, he would probably end up like the two men in Shanghai.

A telegram was hurriedly delivered to the Special High Section headquarters.

If the content is not good, the subordinates will leave after delivering it, for fear of being implicated when the chief executive gets angry.

Tsuchihara picked up the telegram and was stunned after reading a little bit.

Yoshinaga took the initiative to plead guilty. Something happened in Wuhan, and the fifteen undercover agents he brought with him, as well as the three original undercover agents, were caught by the Military Intelligence Department.

After Yoshinaga arrived in Wuhan, before he could start any work, almost all his troops were wiped out.

No, he was completely wiped out.

He didn't keep any of the people he brought with him.

"Jinian, damn it."

After reading the telegram, Tsuchihara pounded the table in anger. Yoshinaga had failed to live up to his expectations and caused such a huge loss.

He had been asked to pay attention to Xu Qingyun a long time ago. What did he do in Wuhan?
"Send Yoshinaga back to headquarters immediately."

Yoshinaga was not in front of him, otherwise Tsuchihara would have dared to kill him. Such a big matter must be dealt with. After Yoshinaga comes back, he will arrest him first.

I will deal with it later.

Wuhan needs to change people again.

Wuhan has an important geographical location and Tsuchihara cannot possibly give up there, but he is troubled about who to send there.

That Xu Qingyun was too terrifying. He suffered repeated casualties, but he couldn't be killed. If he had gotten rid of Xu Qingyun earlier, there wouldn't have been so many losses.

How can we get rid of him?
Tu Yuan gradually calmed down. He really wanted to kill Xu Qingyun before, but now he must kill him.

The method of sending assassins has proven to be ineffective. This person is too cautious, and even the female agent of the Sakura Project that he carefully trained fell into his hands.

Since assassination doesn't work, think of other ways.

The situation was not good within the Military Intelligence Department either. Dai Yunong trusted Xu Qingyun very much, and Xu Qingyun was Xu Zhanjie's student.

If internally doesn’t work, then externally.

Party Affairs Investigation Office?
A name suddenly appeared in Tu Yuan's mind. The Party Affairs Investigation Office had a grudge against Xu Qingyun. Xu Qingyun had arrested their people in Nanjing and executed the head of the Intelligence Section of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

The previous webmaster of Wuhan was fired by Xu Qingyun.

The current webmaster, Tong Changming, had just suffered a great loss at the hands of Xu Qingyun. Both sides started fighting, and the two were as hostile as water and fire. If neither of them dared to start a large-scale war, I'm afraid the two departments would have fought long ago.

Use the Party Affairs Investigation Office to get rid of Xu Qingyun?
The Party Affairs Investigation Office had no reason to take action against Xu Qingyun unless Xu Qingyun was a member of the Red Party or was related to a member of the Red Party.

If that's true, the Party Affairs Investigation Office will arrest people without him saying anything.

Is Xu Qingyun a member of the Red Party?
Taking out Xu Qingyun's information, Tu Yuan read it again and then shook his head.

Xu Qingyun was born into a landlord family and was naturally incompatible with the Red Party. He was indeed nice to his subordinates at the Wuhan Station, but that was just a way of buying people's hearts and making them work hard for him.

Besides, he is also greedy for money, and very greedy.

Unfortunately, greed for money cannot be used as an excuse to target him. Xu Qingyun never took money for himself. The person he gave the most money to was Dai Yunong from the Military Intelligence Department.

This is not a weakness to deal with him.

Are there any Red Party members around Xu Qingyun?
Tsuchihara shook his head again. The possibility was very low. It was impossible to hide it from an intelligence genius like Xu Qingyun.

Although they were enemies, Tu Yuan had to admit that Xu Qingyun deserved the title of genius.

It doesn’t matter whether he is a Red Party member or not. The key is that someone hopes he is a Red Party member.

If we have common interests, we can become friends.

Tong Changming became Tsuchihara's target.

If I can cooperate with Tong Changming this time, I may even be able to persuade him to defect and make him serve me in the future.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office is also an intelligence department, and having someone at the station chief level as his insider is definitely a good achievement.

Cooperate with Tong Changming to label Xu Qingyun as a Red Party member?
If Xu Qingyun is not the one, then let him be. However, it is not easy to frame someone like Xu Qingyun. A good plan must be made, and at least the chain of evidence must be complete, or even perfect.

With evidence, Tong Changming had reason to arrest people.

The Military Intelligence Department can mobilize garrisons, and so can the Party Affairs Investigation Department. As long as someone from their ranks sends out soldiers, Xu Qingyun will be unable to stop them with just the few people in the Military Intelligence Department around him.
