The Spy

Chapter 97 Acting Team Leader
Cao Yunfeng had just left, and his traces were easy to find.

He was tracking, but not very fast. Noticing that the tire tracks were heading west, Xu Qingyun immediately realized that Cao Yunfeng really wanted to escape by car, and the most likely place he was going to was Peking.

"Team leader, do you want to speed up?" Yan Ming asked, dissatisfied with the slow speed of the car.

"No, just run at this speed."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. Being impatient is a big taboo when tracking. As long as the clues are not broken, the other party will not be able to escape. Patience is required at this time.

Xu Qingyun tracked this down many times in later generations and knew this clearly.

Don't always think about catching up with others as soon as possible. The most important thing is not to go in the wrong direction. Once you go too fast and go in the wrong direction, the time wasted will definitely be more than the time saved by running fast.

In fact, this is most obvious on later highways.

You were driving very fast, overtook a truck, went to the service area to use the bathroom, came out and drove for a while, and found that you had overtaken that car again.

Even though the truck drives slowly, it never stops. If you stop more often, your average speed will be lower than that of the truck.

"Yes."

Yan Ming had no choice but to run at a slow speed as Xu Qingyun requested. He didn't understand these principles and was simply worried that he would not be able to catch up with Cao Yunfeng and that bastard would get away with him.

Xu Qingyun kept looking out the window.

It is daytime now, and the speed will be slower at night. However, night is not without its advantages. The people who are escaping will instinctively relax after dark, and even stop to rest, which gives them an opportunity to track them.

Before they left the city, Xie Yongshan caught up with them with gasoline.

After getting into Xu Qingyun's car, Xie Yongshan immediately said, "I brought gasoline, ten barrels, all in the car."

"Ten barrels?"

Xu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and Xie Yongshan got in the car and sat in the back seat.

"Yes, they are all on the truck behind." Xie Yongshan nodded.

"You won't need that much. Just any bucket will be enough."

Xu Qingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't need that much. The truck behind him was a dangerous vehicle, or a bomb.

Xie Yongshan meant well, and Xu Qingyun couldn't blame him.

"If you don't need it, take it with you first, just in case."

Xie Yongshan didn't care at all. Damn Cao Yunfeng, he didn't know he was such a person before. If he had known, Xie Yongshan would have twisted his head off.

We must not let him escape, we must catch him even if we have to chase him to the ends of the earth.

"Team Leader Jie, please go back first."

"No, I will chase him with you, Yan Ming, drive quickly, time is of the essence."

Xie Yongshan shook his head wildly. He had never thought of going back since he came out. Not only that, he brought more than a dozen men with him.

Including Xu Qingyun's men, there were more than twenty people in total.

As long as he can be caught up, Cao Yunfeng will definitely not be able to escape.

"Let's drive."

Xu Qingyun was helpless. Jie Yongshan insisted on following him. He had no choice. Tracking was the most important thing now and he couldn't waste time.

After leaving the city, the tire marks became more obvious.

Xu Qingyun finally asked Yan Ming to speed up.

"parking."

Half an hour later, Xu Qingyun suddenly shouted and got out of the car to carefully check the tire marks.

The tire marks here are deeper and overlapping, indicating that Cao Yunfeng had parked his car here.

"Continue to go."

Parking is not important, maybe it is convenient, or maybe it is because of other things. Xu Qingyun is guessing his psychology. He dared to stop the car, which proved that he believed he had escaped and no one could catch up with him.

Otherwise the fugitive would never stop the car.

This is a good sign. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. After doing it more often, Xu Qingyun will be able to catch up with him.

Xu Qingyun's car didn't stop, so even if they needed to go to the toilet, they had to hold it in. If they had no choice, they got out of the car together to do it, and then left immediately.

There is no need to waste this time.

"Team leader, Cao Yunfeng just had a meal here and left less than ten minutes ago."

Passing by a small town, Xu Qingyun noticed that Cao Yunfeng's car had stopped at his family's restaurant and immediately asked Yan Ming to inquire.

"Chase."

Xu Qingyun smiled. In ten minutes, he was sure that Cao Yunfeng would not be able to escape. Xie Yongshan looked behind him dejectedly because he had brought too much gasoline.

I should have brought one bucket earlier, I really don’t need so much.

The people in each car have been notified that they are about to catch up with Cao Yunfeng. Everyone checked their guns and was ready to fight at any time.

Cao Yunfeng has a gun. To avoid injury, as long as he takes out the gun, we can shoot him, regardless of life or death.

If Cao Yunfeng had not run away, he would have to be interrogated and forced to confess. Since he ran away, it was equivalent to confirming the fact that he hired someone to kill someone. Cao Yunfeng is now a fugitive and can be shot at any time.

"Team Leader Jie, we are almost catching up. Tell the brothers to be careful. We will rush over first and block his car. The others will get out and catch him."

Not long after, Xu Qingyun gave instructions to Xie Yongshan in the back seat. Xie Yongshan had already taken out his pistol, and when he heard Xu Qingyun's words, he immediately stuck his head out of the window and shouted to the back.

"Team leader, I saw him."

Yan Ming finally caught up with the car in front, which was the car of their Military Intelligence Department, the one that was driven away by Cao Yunfeng.

"accelerate."

Xu Qingyun gave the order, and Yan Ming immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward quickly.

Cao Yunfeng did not notice the car behind him until he heard the roar of the engine and turned around. He was shocked to find that a car was speeding towards him.

Cao Yunfeng's car has no rearview mirror, so he needs to look back to see what's happening behind him.

Rearview mirrors actually already exist, but there are few cars in China, so they are not needed and most cars do not have them.

Xu Qingyun's guess was correct. After leaving the city, Cao Yunfeng thought he had successfully escaped and relaxed his mind, otherwise he would not have stopped on the road, let alone eaten.

He had enough fuel to drive to Peking, where he would refuel and keep more gas before continuing westward. If he had more gasoline, he would buy more. If he ran out of gasoline, he would abandon the car and switch to a horse-drawn carriage.

It was a great idea, but I never expected anyone would catch up.

There was more than one car behind, and Cao Yunfeng stepped on the accelerator hard, but he accelerated a little late. Yan Ming accelerated much earlier than him and was faster, and at this time he had already caught up with the back of the car.

Yan Ming turned the steering wheel, preparing to overtake Cao Yunfeng's car from the right.

In this way, he could ram into Cao Yunfeng from his side and prevent Xu Qingyun from being hit and injured.

"bang bang"

Xie Yongshan had already taken out his pistol and fired several shots at the wheels of Cao Yunfeng's car.

At such a close distance, you can hit the car even when it is driving at high speed. It is fast, but both cars are fast, so the relative speed is very slow.

If he couldn't hit the target, he, as the team leader, would just give up.

Cao Yunfeng clearly felt the weight of the car body and he realized that the tire had burst.

He didn't dare to stop and forcibly controlled the steering wheel, trying to continue rushing forward. His wife and children behind him were already screaming in fear.

Unfortunately, this world is not a place where one can do whatever he wants. After the tire burst, the speed dropped significantly. Yan Ming drove over half his body and immediately crashed into the front of the car next to him. Xie Yongshan took the opportunity to continue shooting at the driver's seat.

The car behind also caught up and someone also opened fire.

There were continuous gunshots, and Cao Yunfeng's car finally crashed into a tree on the roadside and stopped. Xie Yongshan jumped out before the car stopped completely and walked carefully towards the driver's seat.

Cao Yunfeng lay motionless on the steering wheel, with several bloody holes on his body, obviously shot.

"Pull them all out."

Xie Yongshan pointed his gun at Cao Yunfeng and gave instructions to the people who came. Today, there is a bit of chaos, including Xu Qingyun's intelligence team, the police, and Xie Yongshan's action team.

However, no one disobeyed Xie Yongshan's orders.

Cao Yunfeng's wife and children were lying behind him. They were not shot, but they were shaking with fear. Cao Yunfeng was pulled down, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth as he lay there.

Apparently shot in the lung.

"It's too late to save him."

Xie Yongshan looked at Xu Qingyun and shook his head slightly. Many of them had fired shots just now, and Cao Yunfeng was hit by seven or eight bullets and his lungs. Not to mention now, it would be difficult for hospitals in the future to save his life.

"Bring them back."

Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. Cao Yunfeng was not important. His assassination of his colleagues was a capital crime in the Military Intelligence Department.

If you don't die now, you will die when you go back.

Everyone got in the car. Cao Yunfeng's car had several holes in it, but surprisingly it was still drivable. After being repaired, the car could be used again.

But I guess no one would want to use this car, it's unlucky.

When they returned to the station, it was already past four in the afternoon and Wu Shaoshu was waiting for them at the gate.

"Stationmaster, we caught up with Cao Yunfeng and accidentally shot him dead when we opened fire."

Xu Qingyun came to report. Wu Shaoshu walked over, glanced at Cao Yunfeng who had already died, and snorted coldly: "Damn it, he deserved to die. Qingyun, you will temporarily take over as the intelligence team leader. I will report you to the higher authorities for promotion."

The appointment of the intelligence team leader has to be issued by the headquarters, but Wu Shaoshu is not worried. Xu Qingyun has made great contributions and he will definitely be promoted to a higher military rank this time.

It is a bit low for a lieutenant to be a team leader, but as I said, if anyone has any objections, compare them with their merits.

Let’s talk about it first, only if you can beat Xu Qingyun.

"Thank you, Station Master."

Xu Qingyun took the order. Yan Ming and other members of the intelligence team were filled with joy. Their team leader was finally going to be promoted to a regular position. How long had it been?

All in all, Xu Qingyun had been at Tianjin Station for less than a month.

He was promoted to team leader in such a short time, and he is in the most important team. Who can compare to him?

Is the leader the end? Impossible.

Xu Qingyun is so young and has greater potential for development. The next step is deputy station chief, then station chief, and in the future chief of the intelligence section of the headquarters, or even deputy director.

Yan Ming really dared to think about it, and he firmly believed that the team leader would be able to do it.

"Jin Fang, go to the General Administration and bring Guan Di out. Ask him about his previous crimes and find a time to execute him."

Cao Yunfeng is dead, there is no need to keep Guan Di, he should have died long ago.

This time he escaped unharmed.

"Yes, Captain."

Zuo Jinfang nodded. They were police officers and had their own work to do when they returned. After receiving the order, Zuo Jinfang took his people away.

Wu Shaoshu finally reported Cao Yunfeng's matter.

Secretary Qi was very surprised when he received the telegram and immediately went to the director's office.

"Scum, traitor."

After reading the telegram, the director cursed angrily, asking if the intelligence chief of his branch station was jealous of his deputy and hired someone to kill someone?
Is this still his Military Intelligence Department?
It's a pity that Cao Yunfeng died. If he hadn't died, Chu Zuo would have tortured him severely and made his life a living hell.

"Whose person is he?"

"The people brought over by Wang Zixiang." Secretary Qi replied with his head down.

He knows Virgo's temperament best and knows what Virgo will ask, so he is always prepared in advance.

"Wang Zixiang? Never mind."

The director was slightly stunned. Wang Zixiang was the second stationmaster of Tianjin Station. This guy also had another identity, a doctor with good medical skills. However, he tried some drugs recklessly and ended up killing himself.

The person is dead, and he has no way to hold him accountable.

"Issue this to the whole department: from now on, anyone who harms his brothers and sisters will be killed without mercy."

The director suddenly said this, Secretary Qi was slightly stunned and immediately nodded.

The order was issued to the entire department to tell everyone that they were not allowed to attack their own people. Anyone who dared to do so would be killed regardless of the reason.

It seems that this incident made Virgo very angry.

However, the director did not blame Wu Shaoshu. This matter had nothing to do with Wu Shaoshu. Cao Yunfeng was not his man, and he could replace the intelligence team leader if he wanted. He had done a good job in helping Xu Qingyun to sideline Cao Yunfeng.

Who could have thought that Cao Yunfeng was so cruel that he would actually hire someone to kill someone.

Fortunately, Xu Qingyun was lucky and was not defeated by Cao Yunfeng.

Xu Zhanjie also received the news and cursed angrily. Xu Qingyun was his most proud student, and if Xu Qingyun died in Tianjin, he would kill all nine generations of Cao Yunfeng's clan.

At Tianjin Station, Xu Qingyun has become the acting team leader.

The two captains, Shi Guangrong and Mi Liming, trembled in front of him.

They didn't expect that Cao Yunfeng was so cruel that he actually wanted to assassinate Xu Qingyun.

It would have been fine if it had succeeded, but unfortunately it failed and Cao Yunfeng died, causing them great suffering.

"You two go to the interrogation team."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste any words. If Cao Yunfeng wasn't so crazy, he wouldn't have taken action against these two people so quickly after taking over as team leader.

Since Cao Yunfeng used assassination methods, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Not killing the two people was already a sign of magnanimity on his part.

"Yes, team leader."

The two did not dare to refute and left obediently. The interrogation team was Fang Laibao's territory. Fang Laibao was a smart man and would deal with them well.

Shi Guangrong had scolded Fang Laibao in the past, but he probably didn't expect that one day he would fall into Fang Laibao's hands.

After driving the two away, Xu Qingyun called a meeting of all the members of the intelligence team.

"Tian Lin, you go to the second team and be the captain."

Xu Qingyun can make the decision on the appointment of the team leader and report it to the stationmaster for approval. Xu Qingyun has already informed Wu Shaoshu and he fully agrees.

"Thank you, team leader."

Tian Lin was overjoyed. Just two days ago, he was still thinking about whether he could become the captain in the future. He didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Cao Yunfeng committed suicide, giving them the opportunity.

"Du Hanxiang, you go to Team 3 and be the captain."

Xu Qingyun appointed another one. Du Hanxiang was a member of a team with relatively good performance, but the reason why he could be the captain was mainly related to his qualifications.

He was selected from the army and had a high military rank before, already a second lieutenant. Xu Qingyun had few officers under him, and since he performed well and had a high rank, he was promoted first.

He still serves as the captain of the first team concurrently, and there is no change.

But everyone understands that this position is reserved for Yan Ming and no one can take it away.

With this great achievement, Yan Ming will definitely be promoted to second lieutenant, and he will probably be the deputy team leader in the future. Many people sighed that being with the right person is more important than anything else.

Many people regretted why they didn’t show more initiative when Xu Qingyun first arrived.
Two days later, the Tianjin Police Department suddenly announced that Wang Jiansheng had resigned.

This incident immediately shocked the entire police system.

Wang Jiansheng has been the director for four years and has a very high prestige. No one expected that he would be transferred suddenly. A new emperor chooses new ministers. Once Wang Jiansheng leaves, there will definitely be major changes within the police station.

I am afraid that a large number of the three captains, the direct commander Ma, the directors of various departments, etc. will have to be replaced.
