The Spy

Chapter 91 Absolutely Big Fish
The three of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

Xu Zhanjie was annoyed when he saw them and shouted, "Get out of here, everyone."

Lying on the chair, Xu Zhanjie rubbed his head. Problems on both sides were most likely caused by internal reasons.

They must conduct self-inspection and do not allow any enemy undercovers in their ranks, otherwise they will not be able to accomplish anything in the future. However, the members of the intelligence department are all elites selected from military academies, police academies or the military. They undergo rigorous training and multiple audits before finally entering their intelligence department.

These people have clean backgrounds, so it's not easy to find any problems with them.

Besides, they are all his subordinates. Once the investigation of the traitor is carried out in a high-profile manner, people will inevitably panic.

Could it be that another department obtained the intelligence and leaked it?
After thinking for a while, Xu Zhanjie shook his head. This operation was kept strictly confidential. The Operations Department did not intervene and the Telecommunications Department was completely unaware of it.

As for general affairs, they only know that they use the cars themselves and know nothing else.

It is even more impossible for other subjects.

If there was a leak, it would most likely have occurred within the Intelligence Department.

Xu Zhanjie was troubled. If he did not conduct self-inspection and waited for the inspection department to intervene, he would be in a more passive position.

At Tianjin Station, Tian Lin investigated quickly and found out that Cui Zhengfeng had no unexpected wealth, his family members did not gamble, and he had never been tricked by anyone.

However, Tian Lin found out something from his neighbors.

Three months ago, Cui Zhengfeng's child fell ill and was hospitalized. It was said that it cost a lot of money, but he never borrowed money from anyone.

Cui Zhengfeng's wife takes care of the children at home, and the whole family depends on his salary.

This is the current situation in most families, men earn money and women do housework and take care of children.

Cui Zhengfeng has two children. He is an ordinary person in the general affairs group. Even if he can resell some things, the profits are limited. His family should live a tight life with that salary. The fact that he did not borrow money when he was sick and hospitalized is itself suspicious.

"Tian Lin, go to the hospital where the child is hospitalized and find out how much they spent."

Xu Qingyun ordered Tian Lin that three months was not a long time and it would be easy to investigate.

It's easier to deal with if the money is little, but if the money is large, Cui Zhengfeng must have other ways to make money.

However, this incident confirmed that there were problems with the last internal audit, which was too simple.

They only check their bank accounts, family life, and whether they have purchased luxury goods or expensive items, while ignoring other expenses.

This loophole will be filled later.

"I'll go."

Tian Lin left in a hurry, and soon Yan Ming came to report that there had been some gains at the signal monitoring point.

They photographed an unexpected person.

This person's height and appearance were very similar to the person who had called Tao Tianqi before. Xu Qingyun took the photo and asked Mikami Hisanobu to identify him, and confirmed that he was the head of the Tianjin Special High Section Intelligence Group, Miyajima Shinji.

After confirming the situation, Xu Qingyun smiled happily.

Cui Zhengfeng's rank is not low. It was the intelligence chief of the Special High Section who contacted him personally. Although the Tianjin Special High Section is mysterious, it is an open department in the Japanese Concession.

The Special High Police not only collected intelligence on China, but also supervised the Japanese.

The main purpose is to investigate the Japanese reds and traitors.

"Team leader, what a pity! If we had recognized him at that time, we could have kept an eye on him."

Yan Ming smacked his lips. This was definitely a big fish, more important than the previous Kawata.

Miyajima is a Lieutenant Colonel Agent.

The Kawada they captured before was only a major. If they could capture a lieutenant colonel, and the head of the intelligence team, it would be a huge achievement.

"Don't keep an eye on him, just keep an eye on Cui Zhengfeng."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. Since Cui Zhengfeng was personally under the charge of Miyajima, they would definitely contact each other again.

As long as we keep an eye on Cui Zhengfeng, there will be no problem in catching Miyajima.

Xu Qingyun came to Wu Shaoshu's office to report the latest situation.

"Head of the Tianjin Special High Section Intelligence Group?"

Wu Shaoshu stood up in shock. Miyajima's identity was equivalent to Cao Yunfeng at Tianjin Station.

But in terms of influence and value, there is no comparison between Cao Yunfeng and Miyajima. One is shit, and the other is a powerful person.

The Japanese intelligence department was established much earlier than theirs and operated more rigorously. The Tianjin station was able to catch so many Japanese spies entirely because of Xu Qingyun's personal ability.

Just look at other branch stations and you will know that only a few of them caught one or two Japanese spies, while most of them got nothing.

"Stationmaster, he is not an ordinary person. We must catch him in the act."

Xu Qingyun replied, and Wu Shaoshu nodded unnaturally: "You are right, catch him in the act and leave him no room for excuse."

"Stationmaster, I'll go back first. I'll report to you if there's any situation."

The case is ongoing and he can't stay with Wu Shaoshu for too long.

"I send you."

Wu Shaoshu stood up and took the initiative to send Xu Qingyun to the door. Even Xie Yongshan had never enjoyed such treatment.

Xu Qingyun is a lucky general. If he can really catch Miyajima this time, Tianjin Station will have made an unprecedented contribution.

By then it will not be as simple as securing the position of webmaster. If there is a vacancy for section chief in the headquarters, he can fill it immediately.

And they are several important departments such as intelligence, operations, supervision, and general affairs.

There is no possibility for a small department.

After get off work in the afternoon, Cui Zhengfeng pushed his bicycle and went home as usual.

He stopped at an intersection, looked towards the wall, and his smile widened.

The Japanese sent him a reply and asked him to meet.

He will soon get the 500 dollar reward.

I had planned to move to a new house before, but my child fell sick and I spent a lot of money. This time, not only was I able to make up the difference, I also had a lot left over.

Cui Zhengfeng's pause and that strange smile did not escape Yan Ming's notice. After he left, Yan Ming immediately searched the area and soon found the arrow painted on the corner of the wall.

Apparently Miyajima responded to him, and the two of them will soon be passing on information.

The most likely possibility is tomorrow.

The next morning, Tian Lin hurried to the office.

"Team leader, Cui Zhengfeng's child was indeed hospitalized for illness and had a minor surgery. The cost was not low, more than 120 yuan."

"Did you get the bill?"

Xu Qingyun asked, one hundred and twenty dollars is indeed a lot of money. Under normal circumstances, Cui Zhengfeng could not come up with so much money at one time. If he did not borrow money, he must have other sources of income.

Cui Zhengfeng didn't do any business, didn't receive any dividends from shares, and didn't have any land to collect rent in his hometown. Where did he get so much savings?

"We got it, but only photos. They didn't give us a bill, no matter how much money we gave."

Tian Lin bribed the hospital staff and found out the medical records and hospitalization records. The hospital staff took the money but refused to give him the original bill. He had no choice but to take photos and report back.

"The photos are enough. Go find Yan Ming and keep an eye on him together."

The original bill is not important evidence. It mainly proves that he spent money on his child's hospitalization. It is auxiliary evidence, not direct evidence to convict him.

If the person is caught on the spot, there is no need to produce these evidences.

"Yes, thank you, team leader."

Tian Lin was overjoyed. Yan Ming was on the front line, which was the most important place. Any little work he did would bring greater contribution than that done in other places.

Yan Ming was staring at Cui Zhengfeng.

He got up, washed, ate, and rode his bike to work as usual. At nine o'clock, Cui Zhengfeng asked for leave from his team leader, saying that he had something to do at home in the morning.

The general affairs team leader was not aware of this. He had just finished his work over the past two days and did not have much work to do today, so he agreed to his request for leave without giving it much thought.

At 9:10, Cui Zhengfeng left the Military Intelligence Department on his bicycle.

But he did not go home, but headed south.

At 9:25, Yan Ming came to Xu Qingyun's car and reported: "Team leader, it looks like he is really going to the Japanese Concession."

We couldn't be sure where he was going just now, but now we can tell from the direction he was going that he was most likely going to the Japanese Concession.

"Team Leader Jie."

"Don't worry, we're ready."

Xie Yongshan immediately replied that he admired Xu Qingyun very much. When making various plans before, he thought Xu Qingyun was thinking too much. How could Cui Zhengfeng go to the Japanese Concession to deliver intelligence?

The most likely idea in his mind is the dead mailbox, which is a common method used by Japanese people.

Cui Zhengfeng was riding his bike, and the place he and Miyajima had agreed to meet was indeed in the Japanese Concession.

One of the duties of the Military Intelligence Department is to investigate Japanese spies. If he went to the Japanese Concession frequently, he would definitely arouse suspicion. He never went there normally, but today he went there under the pretext of buying medicine for his wife.

This medicine is only available in the Japanese Concession.

He was not the only one who had been to the Japanese Concession. Even members of the intelligence team and the operations team had been there, so he was not too worried.

This is not a period of all-out war, so the Military Intelligence Department is not that strict.

When he was almost at the intersection, a truck suddenly rushed towards him. Cui Zhengfeng instinctively braked and tried to avoid it, but the truck hit him straight on.

"boom."

Cui Zhengfeng was knocked out and lay on the ground wailing.

He didn't expect that he was so unlucky to be hit by a car.

When the truck realized that it had hit someone, the driver got out, looked around in panic, then suddenly got back in the car and drove away.

Cui Zhengfeng was soon surrounded by people.

"It hurts, it hurts."

Cui Zhengfeng was in so much pain that tears were about to fall. He kept howling while touching his leg. He could feel that his leg was broken and now he had no strength at all.

From a distance, Yan Ming saw this scene with a faint smile on his face.

Team Leader Xie found a good person with excellent acting skills. Others could not tell that he bumped into us on purpose, especially the way he fled in a panic at the end, which was extremely realistic.

Yan Ming didn't know that Xie Yongshan had found an actor. The actor didn't dare to bump into people at first, but Xie Yongshan threatened him and promised that nothing would happen to him afterwards, and only then did he dare to come and perform this play.

Let him drive the car and hit someone, just don't kill him. Cui Zhengfeng won't live long anyway if he doesn't die this time.

There were a few kind people on the road who helped send Cui Zhengfeng to the clinic.

There is a large clinic nearby, where many people go for medical treatment, and their bone-setting skills are very high.

Cui Zhengfeng's leg was twisted abnormally and it was obviously broken. This clinic was the most suitable.

Cui Zhengfeng was sent to the clinic after cursing the truck driver constantly. He vowed to find the driver and not only make him pay compensation but also arrest him.

In the Japanese Concession, Miyajima was in a house, constantly looking at his pocket watch.

At the agreed time, Cui Zhengfeng did not show up.

His heart slowly sank. Cui Zhengfeng had already sent out a signal. Normally, he would come over at the agreed time after seeing his reply. Why didn't he come today?
What went wrong?

What he was most worried about was that Cui Zhengfeng would be exposed and captured. Not only would he lose an important chess piece, but he would also fail to complete the mission.

The chief section chief would not wait any longer and urged them once yesterday.

The section chief has replied to the chief section chief that the insider has obtained the intelligence and will hand it over to them today and then report it to the headquarters.

Being unable to report it was equivalent to them deceiving the chief section chief.

"You go to these two places and check if anyone has been arrested. Especially the Military Intelligence Department, be careful."

After waiting for fifteen minutes, Miyajima left the house and returned to the Special Higher Police to give orders immediately.

He went to the section chief to apologize.

"Stupid, stupid."

Tanimura's face was cold. If he had not called the headquarters back yesterday, he would not be so angry. He had just told the headquarters that they could get the information, but something went wrong. How could he explain to the headquarters?

The reason he was able to become the head of Tianjin's Special High Section was that he spent a lot of money to find someone to recommend him, and eventually he got the position. He was not Tsuchihara's man.

If the chief section chief took the opportunity to attack him and removed him from his position, he would even want to kill Miyajima.

"Chief, don't worry. I have sent someone to check and we will know what happened soon."

Miyajima lowered his head. He understood that the section chief was really angry. Usually, the section chief had a good temper and rarely cursed.

"Find out immediately."

"Hay."

When Miyajima came out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Sending two men was not enough, so he ran out personally with a lot of people.

On the other side, Xu Qingyun had already arrived near the clinic.

Yan Ming was inside, leading people to urgently install eavesdropping devices. No matter which hospital Cui Zhengfeng was sent to, they would make arrangements inside the hospital.

Cui Zhengfeng is not an agent and will have to stay in the hospital for a long time. If the Japanese are in a hurry for information, they will most likely come to him.

If one day doesn’t work, then two days will. If two days doesn’t work, then three days will.

Xu Qingyun is not afraid to compete with them in patience. As long as the Japanese do not give up the information, they will definitely find a way to contact Cui Zhengfeng and take away the information.

"Team leader, everything has been arranged."

More than an hour later, Yan Ming came to Xu Qingyun and said with a smile.

The installation of a bug is not simple, mainly because the whole set of monitoring equipment is troublesome. You need to connect the monitor, which is not big and can work as long as it can be connected to electricity.

"Send a few people to keep an eye on the area around the hospital. If anyone suspicious approaches, don't move. Take photos secretly. If you can't take a photo, don't force it."

Xu Qingyun nodded, the net was spread, and the next step was to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Xu Qingyun is now worried that Cui Zhengfeng's car accident has alerted Miyajima. If he does not come in person to obtain the intelligence, although he can still catch the Japanese spy, his credit will be greatly reduced.

At noon, Miyajima received a report from his subordinates.

There was nothing unusual near Cui Zhengfeng's home, and there was nothing unusual near the Military Intelligence Department.

They didn't dare to get too close, so Miyajima pretended to be Cui Zhengfeng's relative and called the General Affairs Group of the Military Intelligence Department.

Someone from the General Affairs Team replied that Cui Zhengfeng went to work as usual today, but he took a leave and is not in the office now.

If the Military Intelligence Department had not lied to him, Cui Zhengfeng should have asked for leave today to come and meet him. This time he needed the intelligence urgently, so he specially used the second-level signal and asked him to come to the Japanese Concession at 10 o'clock this morning to hand in the intelligence.

Xu Qingyun soon learned about this call.

Xu Qingyun smiled even more widely. It seemed that the Japanese really valued this information and even took the risk to make a phone call.

The phone number needs to be checked, but the most important thing is to wait and see.

Cui Zhengfeng has what they want, so as long as they are anxious, they will definitely come to contact him.

Miyajima sent out his men to inquire about the situation along the way. It didn't take long for them to find out that there had been a car accident on the way from the Military Intelligence Department to the Japanese Concession. A man on a bicycle was hit by the car and was seriously injured.

According to the description his men obtained from eyewitnesses, he was extremely similar to Cui Zhengfeng.
