Spy Shadow.

Bao Shengqun knew the existence of these intelligence dealers, and some of them had good reputations.

Aarons has always refused to admit that it would be difficult for him to betray his clients, not to mention that he would remind the red party to be careful of Aarons's counterattack.

The Red Party cannot suffer any losses. As for the Central Command’s ability to purchase useful information about the Red Party through intelligence dealers, there is nothing he can do about it.

Even without his guidance, if the intelligence dealers really have information about the Red Party, they will still take the initiative to contact them. Only they are most interested in this information.

Xu Lin, on the other hand, seemed to have enlightened himself and kept pouring Bao Shengqun wine.

Bao Shengqun's proposal helped him solve a big problem. What was originally a simple matter was made complicated by him. There was no need to arrest people in the first place. As long as they came to the door, Allens would definitely agree to cooperate with them.

Who would refuse a profitable business?
Fortunately, they did not use punishment, so there is room for redemption.

After eating and drinking, Xu Lin drove Bao Shengqun home and hurried to Ye Feng's home.

"Boss, we're at a crossroads. Bao Shengqun gave me a good idea today."

When he saw Ye Feng, Xu Lin repeated what Bao Shengqun said to him. They were not exactly the same, but had the same meaning.

"You want to cooperate with Allens and buy his information?"

Ye Feng immediately understood what Xu Lin meant. They wanted to catch the red party through intelligence dealers. As long as they could achieve this goal, it didn't matter if they spent more money.

He wants the people above him to see his value and ability, which will make it easier for him to control the central government.

"Yes, we will give him money, a lot of money. He comes to China just to make money, and he will definitely agree."

Xu Lin nodded quickly, since he didn't need to pay anyway.

Ye Feng was a little hesitant, but after a while he nodded heavily: "Okay, you go see him now, you don't have to wait until tomorrow. If he is willing to cooperate, let him go today."

The environment in the prison is not good. They have taken special care of Aarons and given him a single room.

Then there is the single room. It is a prison after all, and the smell inside is very touching.

"Yes, I'll go now."

Xu Lin was overjoyed and the director agreed. Not only did they solve a big problem, they also had an additional source of intelligence.

Xu Lin came to the prison excitedly and negotiated with Aarons.

"I have no information."

After hearing what he said, Aarons immediately shook his head. It was impossible for him to admit his identity here. Once he admitted it, he would be finished.

Including the relationship with Cai Weicheng, I deny it at all.

Don't think that because the foreign devils talk about the spirit of contract every day, they won't lie. They lie more than anyone else.

"If you say no, then there won't be. If you don't feel at ease here, let's find a place where you can feel at ease. Let's go."

Xu Lin smiled slightly. Aarons was really careful and refused to reveal anything useful.

In fact, there are no bugs here.

Xu Lin originally wanted to let him go, so he took his things and went out without any nonsense.

Xu Lin drove the car himself, with the two of them alone in the car, and Xu Lin's men followed behind.

"I can't put a bug in the car, can I? Mr. Irons, you can rest assured this time. Our Central Commander sincerely wants to cooperate with you. You want money, we want information, and we each get what we need."

Driving the car, Xu Lin said with a smile. Aarons sat in the passenger seat and looked at him in surprise.

He knew very well that there was really no way to install a bug in the car. There was no such technology.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Aarons finally relaxed. The car was running and there was no one else around, completely dispelling his doubts.

It became.

"Mr. Irons, please set a price for the Red Party information we want to trade with you."

What Xu Lin wants to catch most is the red party. If he can catch the red party, no matter how much money he spends, Ye Feng will support him.

"Sorry, I won't betray any of my customers."

Aarons shook his head, finally admitting his identity as a spy.

"How about twenty gold bars, and we promise not to tell anyone that you betrayed them?"

Xu Lin was not surprised that Allens refused to sell. These businessmen were treacherous. Don't let them give in if you don't give them enough benefits.

"Mr. Xu, I just said..."

"Thirty."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Lin raised the price directly.

Thirty gold bars is definitely not a fraction. It is not providing intelligence, but providing personal information.

After thinking about it, Aarons still shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't do it."

"Fifty."

Xu Lin continued to raise the price, and Aarons breathed heavily. Twenty or thirty gold bars was already a lot, but now the price was raised to fifty.

Looking at his appearance, Xu Lin showed a proud smile.

Bao Shengqun's method is indeed effective. No businessman can resist the temptation of money. The difference lies in whether there is enough money.

"sorry."

After a while, Aarons shook his head again. Fifty gold bars was a lot, but he couldn't ruin his brand. If he betrayed his customers, once word got out, no one would do business with him in the future.

"One hundred pieces, Mr. Irons, you are a smart man. Even if I don't go through you, I can buy this money from other intelligence dealers. I just hope to have good cooperation with you."

Xu Lin increased the price again, which was the lowest price given to him by Ye Feng.

Aarons's breathing quickened. For a hundred gold bars, if you want to buy such information, you can indeed buy it. However, others are not as convenient as him and need to investigate.

Gritting his teeth, Aarons finally nodded: "You have to give me half of the deposit first. Also, you can't tell anyone about this. In addition, I have another request. Let Cai Weicheng go."

"There is no problem with the deposit. We will keep this matter strictly confidential, but Cai Weicheng must not be released. He is a traitor to our Central Committee and must be punished."

Xu Lin agreed to his first two conditions, but as for Cai Weicheng, it was impossible to let him go.

Cai Wei sold information for money and committed a capital crime. If such a person is released, what will other people think?
The bottom line is the bottom line and cannot be touched.

In an intelligence department, anyone who leaks secrets without being punished will not be able to keep any secrets here in the future.

"Okay, deal."

Aarons finally agreed. He asked the Central Commander-in-Chief to release Cai Weicheng, purely as a test.

See if they are sincerely cooperating with you.

If he is sincere, he will not let him go. On the contrary, in order to stabilize him, he will definitely agree to all his requests, including unreasonable ones.

In other words, if the Central Government really lets Cai Weicheng go, he will not believe in the sincerity of the Central Government to cooperate.

After all, what Cai Weicheng did cannot be easily let go anywhere. If you are willing to let people go, there is only one possibility, that is, there is no sincere cooperation. Anyway, it is just this once or a short period of time, they will be arrested in the future, so it doesn't matter whether they are let go or not. put.

These intelligence dealers are also not simple.

Xu Lin sent Aarons back home and agreed to pay the deposit tomorrow. At that time, Aarons would take out all the information on the people the Red Party purchased from them.

By the way, buy some more information about the Red Party.

Things went smoothly, and Xu Lin happily went back to report to Ye Feng.

The next morning, Xu Lin came to Aarons and handed him fifty gold bars.

He finally got the information on the Red Party personnel that he had traded with Aarons. "You don't know his true identity?"

Xu Lin frowned. Allens only provided him with a name and some information. Lao Zhao, about 40 years old, short, slightly fat, usually wears black robes without glasses.

"In our business, we are not allowed to inquire about customers' details."

Aarons nodded. What they were doing was intelligence work, which was very dangerous. If one more person knew the identity, there would be an additional possibility of exposure.

For intelligence merchants, it doesn't matter what the other party's identity is, as long as they can give them money every time.

They want money, not people.

"How do you trade?"

Xu Lin felt that he was at a loss. One hundred gold bars only bought a surname, not even a name. The surname might still be fake.

It is equivalent to buying air.

As for the information, there are a lot of short, 40-year-old men in Chongqing. Who knows which one?
Allens has a really dark heart.

"We use signals to communicate. If I have the information they want, I will send out the signal, and they will naturally come to me to trade."

Perhaps Aarons also felt that it was unreasonable to only provide these and ask for a hundred gold bars, so he immediately answered Xu Lin's question.

Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, it would be fine if he had a way to catch the person.

"Go and release the signal right away to attract him out."

"Okay, you have to keep this matter secret for me, I will attract him out, and you have to give me the remaining half of the money immediately."

Aarons nodded. Xu Lin didn't talk nonsense to him and agreed to everything.

These foreign devils were so dark that they helped lure a man out and asked for a hundred gold bars.

The price is not small, but it is worth it if you can catch someone.

Anyway, it’s the government that pays for it, not out of pocket.

Aarons went out to send out a signal. The signal was not complicated. He placed a special flower pot on the roof of his building.

This flowerpot is usually placed below, but when a signal needs to be released, it is placed on the fence. There are already several flowerpots on it, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.

The flowers inside are not important, the most important thing is the pot.

This is a signal from Allens to inform customers.

Each customer's pot is different, and no one in the family can touch the flower pots on the top floor. Others think those flowers are expensive, and the foreign devil doesn't like people to touch them. They don't know that they are his props to send signals.

This is to prevent servants from accidentally putting it on.

"After putting up the signal, how long does it take for them to contact you?"

Xu Lin saw him setting up the flowerpots and asked immediately. As for other customers, Xu Lin was not interested. What he wanted was the Red Party.

Even the Japanese are not of great interest to him.

The Japanese can't last long. This is the consensus of everyone. Even if they can catch a few spies, what's the use? Anyway, he can't compare with Bao Shengqun.

It is better to capture more Red Party members. Once Japan is destroyed, their biggest enemy will instantly become the Red Party Party.

That's the old man's pet peeve.

"If it's fast, it takes an hour or two, if it's slow, it can take up to a day."

Aarons immediately replied that a lot of information is time-sensitive and the Red Party will not waste time.

"Immediately arrange for people to investigate all nearby places where the roofs here can be seen, and also investigate the people who pass by here every day."

Xu Lin turned around and made arrangements for his subordinates. The Red Party must have been paying attention to the situation here since they came so quickly.

Every place that can be seen here is suspected.

There are also people passing by who also need to be investigated, but the focus of Xu Lin's investigation is still on fixed points. After all, the Red Party can arrive in an hour or two if they are quick, which means they are not too far away from here.

Xu Lin is not an incompetent person, otherwise he would not be the director of the intelligence department.

However, the subsequent investigation immediately gave him a headache.

Allens' house is located very low. Chongqing is a mountainous city, and the first floor of some places is someone else's top floor.

There are many places where you can see the location of their roof.

After a brief investigation, it was found that there were at least a thousand households in the surrounding area. With so many people, it would take years and months to check them one by one.

"Wait."

Xu Lin's face was ashen. It was impossible to find out their identities before the Red Party came. The next step was to wait for the Red Party to come and catch the turtle in the jar.

Xu Lin just captured Allens yesterday, and he got the solution from Bao Shengqun in the evening. Today, he asked Allens to send a signal. The time was very short, and the Red Party should not know about it.

As long as they don't know and find that the signal comes in normally, they will definitely be caught.

One hour, two hours.

There was no movement near Allens' home. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Xu Lin did not arrange anyone at the door, but only placed eyes in a few hidden houses.

I was afraid that some strange faces outside would alert the Red Party members and cause them to run away.

But after waiting from morning to afternoon, the Red Party still didn't show up.

"They don't come at a fixed time."

When Allens saw Xu Lin looking at him, he hurriedly explained. Xu Lin didn't say anything and continued to wait until night.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Lin got up angrily.

The Red Party didn't come. Normally they wouldn't show up after dark, let alone now. The signal was released in the morning, but the Red Party unusually didn't show up. Xu Lin had a bad premonition.

"Maybe they have something going on, or maybe your people leaked the secret and let them know that I was caught by you."

Aarons is also a little worried. Reputation in his industry is extremely important. Without credibility, his customers will no longer have any contact with him.

After all, no matter who it is, buying information is an unacceptable act.

If he can betray the Red Party today, he can betray others tomorrow.

"I'll leave a few people here, you continue to wait."

Xu Lin's face was ashen. He went home first instead of staying up all night waiting.

One night, his phone didn't ring.

Xu Lin was very disappointed when he woke up the next day. He knew that the Red Party did not show up. If it did, his men would definitely call him to inform him.

The red party did not show up on the first day, and the possibility of the red party showing up again on the second day was only one percent.

Xu Lin came to Zhongtong gloomily and didn't even go to Allens' home.

Now he just wants to find someone to chat with and express his frustration. What went wrong in this matter? Why didn't the Red Party show up?
If it is the Central Unification side, it will be a big problem, and maybe more operations will be sabotaged in the future.

If there was a problem with Allens himself, they would also have to find out the cause, at least to eliminate factors on their own side.

"Director Xu."

Seeing Xu Lin coming over, Xiao Wu stood up immediately. Xu Lin said slowly with a gloomy face, "Is Consultant Bao here?"

"Here he is, let me inform you."

Xiao Wu immediately picked up the phone on the table and told Bao Shengqun in the office that Director Xu was here.

Thanks to the leader Pi Pitu for another 1000 starting coin reward, to the dentist for the 500 starting coin reward, and to Ye Xiaohu for the 300 starting coin reward.
