The Spy

Chapter 59: Time to Take Credit

After reading it, Xu Zhanjie handed the code book to Wu Shaoshu who was standing next to him.

Wu Shaoshu flipped through a few pages carefully, with excitement and joy on his face. It was the real code book, the thing that Virgo wanted most.

"Let's go back."

Xu Zhanjie took the code book from Wu Shaoshu and put it carefully in his hand. He left a few people to continue the search while they returned to Tianjin Station.

"Stationmaster Wu, we can report to the director now."

Xu Zhanjie said with a smile that they did not go to the interrogation room, but went straight back to the office. They waited so long and did so much, wasn't it just for the immediate reward?
"Yes, yes, Chief Xu, how are you going to report?"

Xu Zhanjie was the head of the intelligence section and an important member of the headquarters. He could not compete with Xu Zhanjie in reporting work, but the credit was too great and he was worried that Xu Zhanjie would take it all for himself, so he took the initiative to ask about it.

Xu Zhanjie understood his thoughts and replied with a smile: "Stationmaster Wu, rest assured, I will report truthfully. Tianjin Station performed very well this time, but the credit goes to Qingyun. Stationmaster Wu, you have no objection, right?"

The credit for Tianjin Station goes to them, but no one can take away the credit for Xu Qingyun.

"How could I object? This is exactly the truth. Without Qingyun, we wouldn't have gained so much."

Wu Shaoshu immediately responded that even if he was the one who reported it, Xu Qingyun still had the main credit, and this was a fact that no one could erase.

The case was handled by Xu Qingyun, who arranged the entire process. To deny him would mean rewriting the entire case process, which is impossible.

"Okay, I'll write the message now, and we'll send it after you've read it."

Xu Zhanjie sat at his desk, quickly finished writing the content, and took the initiative to let Wu Shaoshu read it.

There is a lot of content, and the focus is on the code book. At the very beginning, it mentioned that they seized the code book, and then the case process came later. Xu Zhanjie did speak for their Tianjin station, and even specifically mentioned that Wu Shaoshu was in charge of the overall situation and had leadership merits.

The two of them are supporting each other. No matter how great Xu Qingyun's achievements are, he can never threaten Wu Shaoshu's position. It is understandable that more of the credit is given to Wu Shaoshu.

"Thank you, Chief Xu."

After reading the telegram carefully, Wu Shaoshu took the initiative to thank him. Xu Zhanjie stood up with a smile. He would translate and send the telegram himself.

In Nanjing, Qi Wu received the telegram from the Telecommunications Department.

After reading the beginning, he was stunned. Tianjin Station caught the team leader and got the code book?

Without any delay, he hurried to the office.

This is the most important intelligence in the entire Military Intelligence Department at present. It must be reported immediately. If the Director sees it, he will probably laugh for a long time.

"Haha, okay, great."

Qi Wu's guess was correct. He didn't finish reading the telegram, but only read the beginning. He laughed out loud. He finally got the Japanese spy's code book, and their decryption work could begin.

It's not just him who wants the code book, but also the decryption department and the people above.

Mainly old men.

They knew too little intelligence about Japan. As the ancients said, only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. How can they know the enemy if they don't know everything?

This is the main task of the Military Intelligence Department at present.

These are the jobs that are most likely to be discovered by the old man and produce results. They are related to one's own status. How can Virgo not pay attention to them?

"Call Zhan Jie back and ask him to bring the code book back immediately. Make sure it is safe."

After laughing, the director gave the order without reading the content below. Qi Wu nodded slightly and ran out to send the message immediately.

The director picked up the telegram again and read the contents carefully.

These are simple details of solving the case. Xu Zhanjie will report the details after he returns.

Xu Zhanjie had reported it before, and they had new clues and were keeping an eye on the suspect's disguised identity.

Last time, they accidentally caught five Japanese spies, and the Japanese activated their traitors again to find out the details. Xu Qingyun decisively seized the opportunity, made steady arrangements, and finally lured the team leader into the trap, captured him in one fell swoop, and got the radio and code book.

Not bad, really good.

Xu Qingyun was not only lucky, he was also really capable. He caught so many Japanese spies in a row. The person who was in charge of the selection was blind and did not notice such a talent, and he let it slip to the police station.

Fortunately, they acted quickly and got the person back in time, otherwise how could they have gained so much?
More than a dozen Japanese spies, plus a radio station and a code book, as well as a deputy chief of the operations department and a major team leader. This achievement was enough to make him proud in front of the old man.

He kept the case to himself and did not report it to the old man until it was solved.

Once everyone is caught, it will be his time to take credit.

In Tianjin, Xu Zhanjie was slightly stunned when he received a call back from the headquarters.

They actually asked him to go back now when he hasn’t even taught his apprentice yet?
Xu Zhanjie made a decision quickly, obeyed the order, and immediately returned to Nanjing with the code book. There would be plenty of opportunities to teach apprentices in the future, and Chu Zuo's matter was the most important.

"Chief Xu, can I go back with you?"

Wu Shaoshu also saw the telegram. The content was too simple and did not mention him at all. He was very disappointed.

He didn't know that the director gave the order without even reading the rest of the content, otherwise he would definitely have praised him.

"Okay, but you have to arrange the work at Tianjin Station. The follow-up is just as important."

Xu Zhanjie did not refuse. He understood what Wu Shaoshu wanted to do when he returned. The work had to be completed, or done well, and the people above had to know about it. Wu Shaoshu wanted to take the opportunity to show his face in front of the director.

"Don't worry. I'll let Xie Yongshan take charge of the station temporarily. But I'll tell him to follow Xu Qingyun's arrangements and never make decisions on his own. If there's anything they can't decide, report it to me."

Wu Shaoshu replied immediately, and Xu Zhanjie laughed. What Wu Shaoshu did was equivalent to letting Xu Qingyun take charge of the Tianjin station.

This is a good exercise for the apprentice.

"Okay, I'll arrange the plane and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Airplanes are the fastest, and now is not wartime, so they can leave on military planes.

In the interrogation room, Xu Qingyun did not continue to torture He Tian.

Have him taken away and treated.

He brought the confession to Xu Zhanjie's office, and as soon as he entered, he heard Xu Zhanjie making a phone call.

"Qingyun, wait a moment."

Wu Shaoshu asked Xu Qingyun to sit on the sofa, and Xu Zhanjie contacted the plane and came out immediately.

"Stationmaster, teacher, this is Kawada Toshiki's confession. He has confessed everything."

Xu Zhanjie waved his hand and said, "Just give us a copy of the confession. You continue to investigate the case. The three Japanese spies must be caught. Stationmaster Wu and I will return to Nanjing tomorrow."

"Yes, during this time we are away..."

Wu Shaoshu said that he had made arrangements and that the case was not over yet and there were many people to be arrested.

These tasks belong to the follow-up. The most important thing for him at the moment is to ask for credit in front of the Virgo and increase his impression points.

"Stationmaster, don't worry, I will assist Team Leader Jie in his work."

"You are not assisting, you are leading. If he dares to do anything out of line, just send me a telegram and I will come back to deal with him."

Wu Shaoshu shook his head. Xu Qingyun was young, but he understood the ways of the world, which was rare. However, he would explain what needed to be said in advance to avoid any burden on Xu Qingyun.
