Chapter 178 Found Someone
"Have you found out why the incident happened to them?" asked Beichuan Ming.
"No, the personnel we infiltrated into the Military Intelligence Department's Shanghai station are too low-ranking to have access to such confidential information."
Iijima shook his head. It was not easy to send an undercover agent to the Military Intelligence Department. This time, he was not an undercover agent, but a bribed traitor. It would cost a lot of money to obtain useful intelligence.
"Tell him to investigate as soon as possible and make sure to find out the details." Beichuan Ming ordered.
"Yes, Chief." After hesitating for a moment, Iijima Nao asked, "Chief, what's going on at the Nanjing Military Intelligence Headquarters?"
Iijima was asking about Liu Dazhuang. Beichuan Ming sat up straight and said coldly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Also, verify Sakura's situation as soon as possible."
"Yes." Iijima replied with his head lowered.
After they left, Beichuan Ming rubbed his head again. He didn't understand why Mount Fuji was suddenly exposed. He was clearly lying in wait and had not passed on any information.
Mount Fuji is the code name of Liu Dazhuang, the highest-ranking and most important intelligence officer he has infiltrated into the Chinese intelligence agency.
In order to make Mount Fuji play a huge role, Beichuan Ming deliberately made him lie dormant and not allowed to take any action without his orders.
In the entire Shanghai Special High Section, he was the only one who knew about the existence of Mount Fuji; even his intelligence team leader did not know.
Beichuan Ming didn't even provide Mount Fuji with a dedicated liaison officer just to make him safer.
Therefore, Beichuan Ming was not aware of the news that Sakura was captured. In addition, Sakura's contact person sent back contact information regularly. It was not until he was sure that something had happened to the Lizard Group that he suspected that Sakura had also had problems.
Sakura had previously passed back a lot of extremely valuable information to prevent their people from suffering losses. If Sakura had continued working, the Lizard Team would never have been wiped out.
Unfortunately, Sakura's situation is unclear. He doesn't know the situation of the Nanjing Military Intelligence Bureau now, so he can only ask Iijima Nao to investigate.
"Hopefully, Fuji-san will escape in time."
Beichuan Ming now has no news about Fujishan and can only pray in his heart. Fujishan has been lurking in the Military Intelligence Department for so long. Even if he is exposed, as long as he can come back, he can still bring back a lot of valuable information.
But he really couldn't understand how his ace agent, who had been lurking in Mount Fuji early on, was exposed?
If the fake parents assigned to Fujiyama had not discovered the people investigating them, they probably would not have known that Fujiyama was in such danger and was being investigated right at his doorstep.
And there are cherry blossoms. Thinking of this, his heart ached suddenly.
Mount Fuji and Sakura, these two meaningful code names were given to them. They were also the two ace intelligence officers he had the highest hopes for. Now one of them was exposed and the other's situation was unknown, which made it difficult for him to accept this fact.
Unfortunately, Beichuan Ming can do nothing now and can only wait, wait for Mount Fuji to escape danger and come back to find out all the details.
Fortunately, he had made arrangements before and arranged a special observer in Nanjing. This observer was very experienced and would definitely notify Mount Fuji to evacuate as soon as he received the news. The possibility of Mount Fuji returning was still very high.
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Department.
In order to cooperate with Chu Lingyun in investigating people, the entire operations department was mobilized, but the other three groups did not know the real situation. Except for the team leader Zhu Qing who had some guesses, everyone else really thought they were catching a fugitive criminal.
In intelligence departments, confidentiality has always been of utmost importance, even among our own people.
"Team Leader Chu, you didn't go out today."
The door of Chu Lingyun's office was knocked open. When Chu Lingyun saw the person coming in, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Chief Xie, why are you here? If you have anything, just call me. You don't have to come in person."
The person who came was Xie Ziqi, deputy chief of the Intelligence Department. He was an old man in the Intelligence Department and had followed the director since his early years.
Although he is a deputy section chief, he is in the intelligence department. As a deputy section chief, he has more power than many section chiefs and is also a celebrity in the military intelligence department.
"I'm fine. I just happened to be passing by and came to see you. Team Leader Chu, you've been at our headquarters for a while, but I haven't seen you visit our Intelligence Department. Do you have any opinions about our Intelligence Department?"
Xie Ziqi said this with a smile, and sat on the sofa while talking. He didn't look like he was just passing by.
"Thank you, Chief Xie, you're too kind. I've been really busy lately. I'll definitely treat my colleagues from the Intelligence Department to a nice drink when I'm done."
Chu Lingyun made tea for Xie Ziqi and admitted his mistake with a smile. Xie Ziqi laughed out loud: "That's what you said. We are waiting for your dinner. When the time comes, Section Chief Xu and I will definitely be there."
"Thank you, Section Chiefs..."
Chu Lingyun didn't expect that Section Chief Xie would actually take advantage of the situation to climb up the ladder. He accepted his polite words. Normally, even if he invited his colleagues in the Intelligence Department to dinner, Xu Yi and he might not be there.
He is not from the Intelligence Department. If he were from the Operations Department and they invited him to dinner, Henian would definitely show up in person to help him save face, but the head of the Intelligence Department has no such obligation.
"Team Leader Chu, our intelligence department actually has quite a few clues. We have many informants, which makes investigating the case much easier. If it weren't for the traitor who sabotaged us earlier, we would have already achieved good results."
Xie Ziqi said this in secret, and Chu Lingyun's heart moved slightly, and he probably guessed the purpose of his visit.
"The Intelligence Department is rich in resources, which is truly beyond the reach of our Operations Department."
Chu Lingyun said modestly. Xie Ziqi sat up straight and said softly, "Team Leader Chu, you are a rare talent in the intelligence line. It would be a waste for you to stay in the action team. Come to our intelligence department. You were the team leader in the action department, and you will still be the team leader in our intelligence department. When the time comes, the most elite team in the intelligence department will be handed over to you. You will be the third person in the entire intelligence department besides me and Chief Xu."
Sure enough, Xie Ziqi came to recruit him and wanted him to go to the Intelligence Department.
Putting aside the fact that He Nian treated him well, was it really that easy to get into the Intelligence Division? The waters there were even more murky than in the Operations Division. And if he were the leader of the most senior team, would the veterans really respect him?
Even if they accept the decision, what will happen to Loach and the others? If they are all replaced, the old people in the intelligence department will definitely not be satisfied.
Not to mention, he has already established his prestige in the current Action Team 4 and is able to command them very smoothly. He is living a good life now, so why should he change to an unfamiliar environment and start from scratch?
"Thank you for your kindness, Section Chief. I'm just a small team leader. I can't make the decision on this matter. If you and Section Chief Xu really want me, please contact our Section Chief He and get his consent."
Chu Lingyun remained calm and politely declined. He did not say that he was unwilling to go, but brought up the New Year greetings to stop them so as not to offend the two chiefs of the intelligence department.
Will Henian let him go?
Chu Lingyun didn't even need to guess, he knew that this was impossible. What was the situation of the Operations Department before, and what is it like now? He Nian had finally gotten him to work under his command, so why would he give him to the Intelligence Department?
To put it another way, if Henian really wants to let him go, then there is no point for him to stay in the new operations department, so it would be better for him to move out as soon as possible.
"We will talk to Section Chief He about that. Now it depends on your opinion, Team Leader Chu."
Xie Ziqi said with a smile, it would be strange if Henian agreed, I knew it was impossible without asking.
If Henian could release the person, Xu Yi would not have thought of targeting Chu Lingyun, and he, the deputy section chief, would have come to persuade him in person.
"Chief Xie, please don't embarrass me. As long as our chief is willing, I have no objection."
Chu Lingyun smiled bitterly. If he agreed, and this matter got to Henian's ears, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
By then, he will be in a difficult situation and how can he work with peace of mind in the future?
"Okay, let's go ask Section Chief He and Team Leader Chu, and wait for us some good news."
Seeing Chu Lingyun's firm attitude, Xie Ziqi did not insist. He knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed. If the Intelligence Department had not been having a hard time recently, he would not have stooped to poach people from the Operations Department himself.
The Operations Department has made great achievements, but their Intelligence Department's work has been progressing very slowly.
Chu Zuo was very dissatisfied with this, as Xu Yi had already eaten the melon leaves several times in a row.
If the Operations Department was the same as before, they would not be in such a state. However, since Chu Lingyun came, the Operations Department has been like a chicken with its blood pumped up, constantly catching Japanese spies and even completely destroying the Japanese spy intelligence team, directly and indirectly capturing more than a dozen Japanese agents.
With such brilliant achievements, whenever Xu Yi was scolded, the director would always compare him with the Operations Department.
Doesn’t Xu Yi know what the Operations Department looks like?
The Operations Department has changed drastically just with the arrival of Chu Lingyun, which made him regretful. Why didn't he think of poaching people at the beginning? If it was Chu Lingyun who was poached from the Intelligence Department, wouldn't he be the one who is in the limelight and making the most achievements now?
There is no use regretting. There is only one Chu Lingyun. Didn’t you see that after Chu Lingyun came to the headquarters, the Wuhan station became the same as before and has not achieved any results recently.
If he wanted to change the current situation of the Intelligence Department, he could only start with Chu Lingyun.
After Xie Ziqi understood Chu Lingyun's attitude, he said goodbye and left. Chu Lingyun sent him to the outer door and immediately called him to wish him a happy new year.
Henian is very busy. He created such a big fuss last night that he has received many calls today. Many people need him to explain in person.
"Old Xie, that bastard. And Xu Yi, that bastard."
Before Chu Lingyun could finish his words, He Nian started cursing. He was already a little angry, and now when he heard that these two guys had dug their hoes at Chu Lingyun, he became even more furious.
Xu Yi doesn't have any talent himself, but he wants to snatch it from him. How despicable.
But he didn't think about how much Wang Yuemin in Wuhan hated him when he poached people.
"Don't worry about this anymore. If anyone from the Intelligence Department comes looking for you from now on, kick them out."
He Nian instructed Chu Lingyun that there were more important things to do at the moment and Chu Lingyun must not be distracted, otherwise he would definitely drag Chu Lingyun to see the director and report Xu Yi and the others.
"Yes, Chief." Chu Lingyun put down the phone, looking helpless.
You can kick people out, but he can't. No matter whether it's Xie Ziqi or Xu Yi, their ranks and positions are much higher than his. When you meet them, you can only greet them with a smile, so how can you really kick them out?
…
In the safe house in Xicheng, Senri Shiro turned on his old radio and listened to the broadcast quietly.
After receiving an emergency signal the day before yesterday, he ran out and made a phone call that he had unfortunately never made before.
After returning, he hid immediately. He knew that he acted too hastily and left many loopholes. Temporary hiding could protect himself well.
If the Chinese fail to find him, it won’t be too late to go back then.
There is a lot of food in the safe house. He set up this safe house himself and prepared it for a long time. No one knows about it. He is very safe here.
But there was such a loud noise last night that even he heard some of it, as if a battle had taken place in the city.
He didn't know whether other intelligence agents of the empire had been discovered and engaged in a fierce battle with the Chinese, or whether something had happened to other organizations or individuals in the city. At this moment, he could not ask or do anything and could only wait patiently.
"Open the door, open the door."
He heard someone shouting nearby, and through the crack in the door, he noticed that the police were searching, and all the neighbors living nearby were driven out and identified one by one.
Some people walked slowly and were kicked a few times by the police.
Judging from the order of the police, they were going to knock on his door next, which made him a little hesitant.
If there hadn't been a gunfight last night, he would have probably thought of running away when the police arrived, feeling guilty. But after what happened last night, he wasn't sure if they were targeting him.
"Open the door, police."
Just as he was thinking about it, the police came knocking on his door. He lived in a three-story building with two families on each floor.
He was on the second floor and had left the window a crack on purpose.
If someone breaks through the main door, he can escape by jumping out the window.
After looking at the window, Senrishiro decided to come over and open the door. The Chinese would not find him so quickly. Moreover, he did not see anyone he knew among the policemen outside. These people did not know what he looked like and could not recognize him.
"Officer, what happened?"
Senri Shiro smiled and bowed. He had lived in China for a long time and knew how to deal with these policemen.
As he said this he handed his ID to the police.
The inspector was an old policeman. His heart moved when he saw his appearance, but his expression remained unchanged. While checking his ID, he said, "A few thugs dared to commit crimes under the feet of the emperor. They will definitely not get away this time. Do you live alone?"
"Yes, officer, I'm alone." Senri Shiro replied quickly.
"Okay, close the door. If any strangers come to your place, notify us immediately."
The old policeman returned the ID to Senri Shiro, then led the team to the third floor and continued knocking on the door.
Senrishiro was completely relieved and returned to his room to continue listening to the radio.
"Sheriff Wang, we found one."
After the old policeman finished the inspection, he immediately ran to Wang Sheng to report. It was true that Wang Sheng was a newly transferred young man, but many people heard that he had a strong background and would be promoted in the future.
The old policeman has been working for a long time, but unfortunately he has always been an ordinary policeman because he has no background. He has long hoped that he could find a reliable background.
Wang Sheng has just been here for a short time. If I can get close to him, I will definitely have better development in the future.
"Found it, great, which one is it?"
In order to paralyze the Japanese spies, there were three people to be found this time, but the other two were not in Nanjing at all, so Wang Sheng knew very well who they had found.
But if he needs to ask, he will still ask.
