The Spy

Chapter 5: Agent to Regularization
Sitting in the car, Xu Qingyun stared out the window.

It snowed last night, but today the sun shines again. There are many shops on both sides, and all kinds of signs are shining in the warm sun.

Hard-working people swept away the fallen snow, and pedestrians wearing thick cotton-padded clothes walked freely in the streets. The patched cotton-padded clothes could not hide their happy smiling faces. The hawkers' shouts and the pedestrians' laughter played the city's unique symphony.

Outside Erduoyan Hutong, a wok is steaming. The man making fried cakes is wearing a conical hat and a blue cloth that has been dyed darker by time. His hands are flying lightly above the wok. The golden fried cakes are jumping happily in the hot oil, emitting an enticing aroma.

Gao Benyi came to the bustling fried cake shop, holding a brand new newspaper steadily, and waited in line quietly. He secretly glanced at a man drinking soy milk and eating fried cake at the table next to him.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

When it was Gao Benyi's turn, the vendor was very polite. Gao Benyi was wearing a gray robe, glasses, and holding a newspaper, and he clearly looked like an intellectual.

"Two pieces of fried cakes and a bowl of soy milk."

After paying the money and getting the food, Gao Benyi naturally sat behind the man, and the two were very close to each other.

"Team leader, we have received a notification that Black Bull has entered the city. We can start the plan now."

Gao Benyi was drinking soy milk when he suddenly turned his head and coughed, covering up his subsequent whispers. The expression of the man next to him did not change.

Takamoto Yoshi's real name was Takamoto Hideyoshi. He was a member of the Intelligence Section of the Manchuria Railway Intelligence Bureau. The man next to him was his superior, Ishiguro Masao, the Tianjin head of the Manchuria Railway Intelligence Bureau.

"Go to the newspaper office and send a signal later. I'll give him the order tomorrow."

Ishiguro Masao lowered his voice and took a bite of the fried cake. Although the Chinese are weak, it must be admitted that they do have a lot of delicious food.

"Understood. Now that Hei Niu has taken action, Wang Jiansheng is doomed this time."

Gao Benyi replied in a low voice that there were not many people in the Manchurian Railway Intelligence Department in Tianjin, only three people. They were mainly responsible for collecting intelligence and were generally not responsible for operations.

When action is needed, headquarters will send operatives to support them.

"He should have died long ago."

Ishiguro Masao raised his lips to sneer, with a hint of coldness. Wang Jiansheng was the police chief and had always been against the empire. Not long ago, he ruined their plans. Unable to tolerate it any longer, Ishiguro Masao thought of assassination.

If someone cannot be destroyed spiritually, then destroy him physically.

The two of them ate very naturally. Ishiguro Masao left first. The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians. They blended into the crowd, flashing by like two inconspicuous flies.

police station.

Xu Qingshi stood in front of the director's office and whispered to Xu Qingyun beside him, "I'll go in first. You wait outside and go in when I call you."

This time they successfully captured three Japanese agents, and there are still enemies hiding in the dark waiting for them to catch. The director will definitely meet him, so Xu Qingyun just needs to wait patiently.

"Don't worry, bro. Come in quickly."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, while Xu Qingshi knocked on the door and quickly entered the office.

Xu Qingyun stayed alone in the corridor outside the door, organizing his thoughts.

Four years ago, Wang Jiansheng followed his old classmates to the prosperous city of Tianjin, where his classmate Zhang Mingxue was the mayor and police chief.

At that time, the Tianjin Police Department was like other places, full of bad phenomena such as gang-building, corruption and extortion. Zhang Mingxue and Wang Jiansheng started internal rectification soon after they arrived. With their meticulous efforts, the Tianjin Police Department can be said to have been completely renewed, with officers united and disciplined, and their combat effectiveness significantly improved.

Four years ago, when the Japanese plainclothes team launched a riot, most military leaders chose to stay away. They stepped forward and commanded the police to fight. They defeated the Japanese plainclothes team in just one day, killing and capturing more than 600 thugs. The remaining enemies fled back to the Japanese Concession like stray dogs and dared not show up easily again.

The Japanese were furious and used external forces to force Zhang Mingxue to leave, but Wang Jiansheng stayed and took over the position of police chief.

Wang Jiansheng and the Japanese are not on good terms. With such conditions in place, Xu Qingyun doesn't have to worry about Hu Qi and the other two being let go inexplicably.

"Qingyun, come in with me, the director wants to see you."

Not long after, Xu Qingshi walked out of the office. Xu Qingyun stood up straight and straightened his clothes. Xu Qingshi looked at him carefully, and suddenly reached out and scratched his head, and his originally neat hair suddenly became messy.

Xu Qingyun was a little surprised, but immediately understood what his cousin meant.

"Director, this is my cousin Xu Qingyun."

Coming to the desk, Xu Qingshi said respectfully that Wang Jiansheng was 38 years old, not very old, and graduated from the Northeast Military Academy. He was a classmate and good friend of Zhang Mingxue and his brother.

"It's really good, young and promising."

Wang Jiansheng nodded with satisfaction. He had no objection to promoting relatives. His becoming director was the support of his good classmates. He was not stingy in promoting capable people.

He was very surprised by Xu Qingshi’s report today. This young man had only joined the police station for over a month, but he actually captured three Japanese agents in one day?

It was simply unbelievable. He had dealt with the Japanese a lot and knew how cunning the spies were.

The three men have admitted their identities. They are from the Manchuria Railway. They become furious when they mention Wang Jiansheng of the Manchuria Railway.

How many evil things has this hateful Japanese company done, and how many of their compatriots have been killed?

It can be said that his crimes are so heinous that they are difficult to list in words.

"I am flattered by your praise, Director."

Xu Qingyun bowed his head to thank him, and Wang Jiansheng immediately noticed his messy hair.

"They first arrested Hu Qi yesterday morning. Hu Qi was a wanted criminal by our police station for many years. Catching him was a great achievement, but Qingyun was careful and found that Hu Qi's feet had the same marks as the Japanese wearing clogs. Under strict interrogation, Hu Qi confessed that he was a Japanese spy. Qingyun didn't waste any time. Last night, he followed the clues and arrested two of Hu Qi's men again."

"After that, they braved the snow and rushed back to the police station overnight. They interrogated the three people without stopping and finally got confessions from them. That's when they notified me to report to you. Although I don't know what the mission of these Japanese spies is, as long as we catch the people who contacted them, everything will be revealed."

Xu Qingshi's expression was very clever, subtly highlighting that Xu Qingyun was able to capture three Japanese agents in a row in just one day with constant hard work.

Secondly, it snowed yesterday, and they had to escort people back to the city overnight in the snow, which was very dangerous.

In addition, Xu Qingyun looked tired and had messy hair, which made it very easy for Wang Jiansheng to approve of him.

"Well done, elder brother is outstanding, and younger brother is not far behind. Your Xu family is full of talents. Qingshi told me that you are now the acting squad leader, and the word 'acting' can be omitted. Qingshi, you must fully cooperate with him and continue the investigation. Make sure to catch all the Japanese spies in one fell swoop."

Wang Jiansheng was filled with joy at this moment, not just because he captured three Japanese agents.
