"How can this help you? I don't ask anything now and I don't know anything."

Bao Shengqun secretly laughed in his heart. The traitor was right in front of Xu Lin, but it was a pity that he wouldn't know it.

"Old Bao, I'm here to ask for advice sincerely. You have been in the Intelligence Department for many years and have been at the headquarters to understand the situation at the headquarters. It is said that there was a well-hidden red party within us back then. Later, Jiang Wan arrested He Yadong. Old Bao, You know He Yadong, tell me, is he the hidden red party member?"

Xu Lin sincerely asked for advice, while Bao Shengqun shook his head: "He Yadong admitted his identity, saying that he was instigated by Tan Wenbo to rebel, and specially sent a letter to Tan Wenbo asking him to save people."

He Yadong was the head of the raw materials team of the General Affairs Section at the time. He could not admit it even under torture.

As for whether he is a red party member, Bao Shengqun knows better than anyone.

"I know he admitted it, and I have read the file, but later events proved that there are still red parties within us. Old Bao, have you really not noticed anything since you have been in the Intelligence Department for so long?"

Xu Lin did not give up and continued to ask.

Even if the culprit of this leak cannot be found, it is a great achievement to catch the red party hiding inside.

And this person is very likely to be the leaker, and his credit will be even greater by then.

The person was lurking among them during the time of Old Ghost Xu, and if he caught him, he would only have merit, not fault.

"Brother Xu, to tell you the truth, I had the same suspicions as you at the beginning. Unfortunately, it took so long and Jiang Wan arrested another person and finalized the case. Now that Jiang Wan and He Yadong are both dead, there is no way to re-trial even if they want to."

Bao Shengqun sighed. Xu Lin suspected that there was a traitor in the Red Party, so let him investigate.

The more ruthless the investigation, the better. This will make people panic and no one will be able to accomplish anything.

When Yan He's team was executed en masse, the Party Affairs Investigation Department lost half of its life. Tan Wenbo's entire team was imprisoned in Wuhua Prison. They were not prisoners but were treated worse than prisoners, which gave him the opportunity to encourage Tan Wenbo to rebel.

"Did you really doubt it?"

Xu Lin was shocked. He had only been the director of the intelligence department for a few months, unlike Bao Shengqun who had been the director of the intelligence department for six years.

Moreover, he had been in Shanghai before. When he made a mistake and returned to the headquarters, he was imprisoned by Mr. Xu for several months. After that, he had been sitting on the bench and had no chance to investigate this.

Now let him get started, his eyesight goes dark and he doesn't know how to check it at all.

It would be different if Bao Shengqun helped him. He knew that Bao Shengqun was very smart and capable. If Bao Shengqun helped him with all his strength, he would be confident to find this traitor.

"I doubted it." Bao Shengqun nodded seriously.

"Brother Bao, who do you suspect?" Xu Lin asked hurriedly.

"There is no specific person, but this person is probably not in the Intelligence Department."

Bao Shengqun shook his head again, and Xu Lin felt relieved after hearing his words. He was most afraid that a traitor was in the intelligence department, so that no matter what he did in the future, he might not be able to accomplish it.

As for the fact that there was no specific person, Xu Lin was not surprised. If there was a specific suspect, he would have been arrested long ago, so there was no need to wait for him to investigate.

"Where do you suspect he is?"

"General affairs, action."

Bao Shengqun named two names. These two departments had the largest number of people and the most diverse members, making the investigation very complicated.

"I have encountered situations where secrets were leaked before. I have tested the personnel of the Intelligence Department and there was no problem. That's why I said that the person is not in the Intelligence Department. He must be in the General Affairs and Operations side. They also have the opportunity to come into contact with them. Important information."

Bao Shengqun continued, while Xu Lin nodded and frowned in thought.

Xu Lin didn't know that Huang Shunwen came to see Bao Shengqun before he set off and talked about going to Xi'an, but even if he knew, he wouldn't really care.

Many people knew that they were going to Xi'an, and many people in the general affairs department knew about it.

After all, their vehicles, weapons and other equipment must be obtained from the general affairs.

It's really possible on the General Affairs side.

As for the Operations Office, he can put it aside for now. This time he did not bring anyone from the Operations Office. If there is insufficient manpower, he can mobilize the troops from Xi'an Station, or even the garrison.

When he arrives in Xi'an, he will not be short of people. It is enough to bring two sections of the Intelligence Department.

"Many people in the general affairs department know about it, but not everyone knows about it. Thank you very much, Old Bao. I will go back and investigate carefully."

Xu Lin stood up. He had the direction of investigation and he didn't want to delay it. He wanted to find the traitor as soon as possible so that he could explain it to the director.

Failure to find out will make the director think he is incompetent.

Even if he is an absolute confidant, if he has been unable to perform meritorious service and keeps making mistakes, his position as Director of Intelligence will still be unstable.

Bao Shengqun walked him to the door and watched him leave.

Let's check. Xu Lin knew very well how to check Bao Shengqun.

The conventional investigation methods are nothing more than checking the financial status of these people. If a rich person suddenly loses money, immediately find out where his money went.

The Red Party is short of money, and many Red Party members will take the initiative to hand over their money to the organization.

In the past, Bao Shengqun thought these people were fools, but now he thinks they are great.

A madman who would sacrifice anything for his ideals and beliefs.

Or there may be a lot of extra money suddenly, and the money comes from unknown sources, which may be the result of selling information.

In addition to funds, it is also about their interpersonal relationships. Are there places they often go to? These places may be meeting points.

The other thing is whether they took the initiative to inquire about anything.

If you don't take the initiative to inquire, you will check it if you hear it passively.

In short, all people who may have access to intelligence are within the scope of key investigations.

Xu Lin has his eyes on the General Affairs Office, and the life of the General Affairs Office will not be easy in the future.

After work, Bao Shengqun went to buy some groceries and went back. He continued to work hard with his wife to make a little man and try to get his wife pregnant again.

The next day, Germany signed an unconditional surrender.

Germany is officially finished.

Xu Lin started his investigation and found that there were many people in the General Affairs Office. The Central Commander and the Military Commander were the same, and the Operations Office had the largest number of people.

These people were to charge into battle and replenish them when they died, and their numbers were always large.

Followed by the Intelligence Department and the General Affairs Department.

The two departments have almost the same number of people. In Zhongtong, there are slightly more people in the General Affairs Department than in the Intelligence Department.

Not only are there many people, their members are more complex.

The reason is very simple. The general affairs department has money, oil and water, and does not need to perform tasks, so it is very safe.

People with some ability want to arrange their own people into general affairs.

This is not just Zhongtong's own people, but also the people above. No one has children or relatives. Although Zhongtong has a bad reputation and is an intelligence agency, it is easy to make money.

Who wouldn’t want to come to a place where you can make money and be safe?
Just as Bao Shengqun expected, Xu Lin first checked those people who had received intelligence from the General Affairs Office and knew that they were going to Xi'an.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

There are quite a few people who know that they are going to Xi'an.

The first is the car class. They mobilized many cars and trucks. Xu Lin brought more than 100 people. There was no train from Chongqing to Xi'an, and it was impossible for them to take a horse-drawn carriage.

Cars are the best means of transportation.

Everyone in the bus class knew they were going to Xi'an, and Xu Lin was so angry that he cursed.

He had specifically told the squad leader of the car class to keep it strictly confidential. They kept it secret, but with their status and background, they dared to turn a deaf ear to his words.This is the intelligence department. Once something goes wrong, no matter how hard the backstage is, they can't protect him.

Everyone in the bus class needs to be investigated, but the general manager is not the only one who knows about their movements.

The equipment department also knew that they had received a lot of weapons. Except for the three people who had taken leave before and were not on duty, everyone else in the equipment department knew about it.

As for these three people, it is possible that they will know it afterwards.

Xu Lin once again ordered his men to investigate everyone in the equipment department.

Next came the equipment section. They received radio stations, cameras, telescopes, films and other things. Many people in the equipment section also knew that they were going to Xi'an.

As for the gasoline they received, the Raw Materials Department also knew about it.

Xu Lin finally found out that there were almost 200 people in the General Affairs Office, and most of them knew their movements.

This result made him so angry that he immediately went to Ye Feng to complain.

"Bureau chief, we must rectify this, especially the General Affairs Office. I'm afraid many people don't know the contents of the confidentiality regulations. We went to Xi'an for such a strict operation, but most of the people in the General Affairs Office knew about it."

Xu Lin said angrily, while Ye Feng looked stunned.

"Most of the people?" Ye Feng was a little doubtful. How could so many people know?

"That's right, I have found all the people with direct knowledge. I haven't found out whether others have indirect knowledge through these people. I estimate that there are very few people who don't know about it in the General Affairs Office, and maybe even everyone knows about it."

Xu Lin was just complaining, so he immediately went to the big deal, while Ye Feng's expression turned serious.

An operation that was supposed to be kept secret, but everyone in the General Affairs Office knew about it, so it was still a fart secret.

They are an intelligence service and this is gross malfeasance.

Moreover, after such things are known to the people above him, he will be in even greater trouble. The people above him will not understand his difficulties and will only think that it is his incompetence.

Especially the old man. If the old man is disappointed in him, his fate will definitely be no better than that of his predecessor, Old Ghost Xu.

"Check, check it out immediately, and punish all those who leaked the secret."

Ye Feng roared angrily, with Shang Fang's sword, Xu Lin would have no burden in investigating.

Bao Shengqun didn't pay attention to Xu Lin's actions. Xu Lin was investigating secretly, and he didn't know what was best.

In Shanghai, Fang Shiyi traveled with goods again.

After more than two months, Chu Lingyun finally collected a batch of goods and sent them to Boss Dai and his hometown.

This shipment was not easy to transport, and the price went up again.

Not just him, but other smugglers as well.

As soon as the goods left, Liaison Officer Nitta came to Ishihara Trading Company.

"Ishihara-kun, everyone entrusted me to ask you if there is any way. Don't worry, we will follow you in the future."

It is not only the Chinese who know that the Japanese are about to fail, but also the Japanese themselves, especially these businessmen.

Nitta and the others are busy transferring their property. They would definitely not dare to return to China now, but they cannot keep all their property in China.

If Japan surrenders unconditionally like Germany did, their hard-earned wealth will become someone else's wedding dress.

"Yes, yes, but the risk is very high."

Chu Lingyun smiled slightly. He had deliberately spread the word before that he wanted to relocate his industry and continue doing business elsewhere. He could not stay in China.

This was done deliberately to attract Nitta and the others.

These people made a lot of money with Ishihara Trading Company, and some of them were transferred to the country, but most of them were still with them.

After all, many people are raising families, and it is not safe for them to leave their money alone in the country.

"any solution?"

As soon as Nitta's eyes lit up, he knew that for a smart man like Ishihara Hiroshi, it was impossible to put all the eggs in one basket.

As long as Hiroshi Ishihara has a way, they will continue to follow him and transfer all their property safely.

If the empire really fails, they will run away immediately and will never be buried with the empire.

"I made some arrangements in Brazil and prepared to send some of the industry there."

Chu Lingyun said lightly, and Nitta's eyes suddenly lit up.

Brazil also declared war on them, but they were attracted by the United States and followed them on board. Brazil's main target was Germany, not them.

Another point is that there are many Japanese in Brazil.

It is indeed a good idea to transfer the property there first.

"Ishihara-kun, can you take us with you?"

Nitta asked anxiously. He was not just doing it for himself. Because of his status as a liaison officer, others also entrusted him with inquiries.

"Okay, we have more people, so we can be more united. I'm not satisfied with you saying that there are people from me among the top military officials over there."

Chu Lingyun smiled slightly, how could he defraud these people of their wealth without bringing them along?

After raising it for so long, it’s time to kill it.

The wealth of these people must not be transferred smoothly to Japan. There is really no way, and if Japan cannot sustain it, these people are likely to transport their property to Japan.

Japan is not a small country, and some remote places allow them to hide their wealth.

Wait until it stabilizes before taking it out.

Chu Lingyun would not give them such a chance.

"Thank you Ishihara-kun, you are indeed loyal."

Nitta grinned, not knowing how dark the heart of the person in front of him was. He was a typical person who was still counting money after being sold.

"I will have a merchant ship registered in Brazil leave the day after tomorrow. You can send people to follow it and set up outposts first. Most of my industry will be transferred in two months at the latest."

Chu Lingyun spoke slowly, while Xintian nodded sharply.

Ishihara Hiroshi was thoughtful enough to ask them to send people there first to understand the situation there and make some arrangements in advance.

In this way, they can transfer their property with confidence and boldness.

Brazil belongs to the Allied Forces. If Japan fails, Brazil will be the victor. There are many Japanese there. By spending some money and Ishihara Hiroshi's relationship, they can protect themselves and their property very well.

"Don't worry, we will definitely go. I will go back and inform them now."

Nitta left in a hurry, and when he left, he was still feeling emotional. Following Ishihara Hiroshi was the right thing to do. Ishihara Hiroshi was far-sighted and must have made arrangements long ago.

Over there in the future, they will also hug Ishihara Hiroshi's lap and continue to make a fortune with Ishihara Hiroshi.

Nitta believes that a genius like Ishihara Hiroshi can thrive and hold power no matter where he is.

Nitta quickly informed everyone of the news, and just as he had guessed, no one could refuse such a temptation. Time was running out, so they immediately arranged for people to leave with Hiroshi Ishihara's merchant ship the day after tomorrow to inquire about the situation first.

They sent out all their own confidants.

He is also the person they trust the most.
