Chapter 74 Rough outline “How many radio signals are there specifically? Can you confirm the general direction?” Zuo Zhong put out his cigarette **** and asked Gu Qi. Gu Qi took out a piece of paper: "There are three radio signals in total, which are in the direction of Jinchuan Gate, Shuixi Gate, and Taiping Gate. This can be determined." Zuo Zhong's expression was half-smiling but not smiling. This girl is sure. You might as well say that the Japanese spy is in Jinling. Gu Qi also knew that the scope was too large, and was a little embarrassed: "We, the telecommunications department, don't understand the position given by the Telecommunications Department, but they have so many equipments, so they can't be fake." Zuo Zhong circled the locations of the three radio stations on the map, which happened to be a triangle. Is this a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by the Japanese? There is a station near Jinchuan Gate, a pier near Shuixi Gate, and important military and political institutions such as the Central Military Academy and the Presidential Palace near Taiping Gate. Looking at the map, Zuo Zhong suddenly discovered that these were important military targets. Once the war started, these places would be battlegrounds for military strategists. Could it be that this time the spy came from the Japanese military? The Japanese naval intelligence force in China is mainly along the coast and will not go deep into the interior. The various intelligence agencies of the Kwantung Army are trapped in North China. Which department are they? When he was at the Rokukoku Hotel, Hase Ryosuke also talked to him about Japan's intelligence agencies. There were not many of them with military backgrounds, just a few.
For example, the Manchuria Railway Investigation Section, which looks like a normal commercial company, is actually one of the troika that invaded China, and most of its members are retired Japanese soldiers. This group of people has no fixed residence and comes to China to conduct espionage activities under the guise of "investigation," "visiting," "traveling," or "trading business." Another example is the special work classes set up by the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters in various consulates. Compared with the counter-espionage nature of the special high school courses, this special work class is a professional intelligence agency. It is a pity that Ryosuke Hase was transferred to North China as soon as he arrived in Shanghai. He was not familiar with the members of the special work team and was unable to provide much useful information. However, he heard that such Japanese spies in China belong directly to the General Affairs Office of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, also known as the North China Department. These Japanese spies come from the Japanese Army Military Academy or Takushoku University, which specializes in training spies in China. They are familiar with Chinese customs and habits, and are proficient in using local dialects in various parts of China. They sneak into China under various identities and spy on intelligence by opening pharmacies, hotels, morphine shops, and opium shops. Zuo Zhong banged the table and thought, the Manchurian Railway Investigation Section can be ruled out. They are more about conducting large-scale reconnaissance and spying and will not stay in one place for a long time. These three radio stations should belong to the special work class, which are consistent with the characteristics of military reconnaissance, long-term lurking, and continuous reporting. Zuo Zhong asked Gu Qi again: "What are the active hours of these radio stations?" Gu Qi replied: "It's not fixed, so it's difficult to determine the specific address." Isn’t it fixed? This can exclude normal office workers. It’s okay for workers to ask for leave once in a while. If you ask for leave every day, the boss will not agree. Hence, the cover work of the espionage agents of these three radio stations should meet two characteristics. One is that the working hours are flexible, or they themselves are the boss. Second, the salary is high, and they cannot send telegrams in a shared house. Being alone is a basic requirement. Other than bosses, what other jobs in Jinling City meet these two characteristics? Zuo Zhong decided to brainstorm and expressed his speculation. Regarding the information about the special work class, he used the excuse that he had obtained the information from Beiping Station. Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that Zuo Chongguang could think of so much from the number of radio stations, their approximate locations, and the communication time. It was really amazing. Gui Youguang was convinced again. He knew why Virgo liked Zuo Zhong so much. He was brave and resourceful. There was a huge gap between him and Zuo Zhong. Now that the chances of catching a spy have greatly increased, and when it comes to promotion and salary increase, everyone has used their brains to think of careers that meet the requirements. "Writer", "journalist", "actor", "broker", "painter", etc. are all industries with high salary and free time. While talking, everyone was confused again. There were not only 8,000 but also 10,000 people engaged in these professions in Jinling City. How could we check this?
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. In addition to the two items just mentioned, we can also make subtractions, such as those who do not have jobs or live in suspicious areas, such as those with old and young children in the family, such as those whose ancestral home is Jinling and have clear roots." Zuo Zhong said again. One sentence. Yes, as long as a large area is defined, it is better to screen them one by one than before like running around like a headless fly. Zuo Zhong thought for a while and felt that the clues mentioned by Ryosuke Hase could not be ignored. He concluded: "Two lines, one is to investigate people. The other is to conduct secret investigations into pharmacies, hotels, restaurants, and opium shops in three suspicious areas. The focus is on the new store and the new owner.” "yes!" However, the emperor was still short of hungry soldiers. Zuo Zhong decided to wait two days before taking action, leaving everyone some time to go home or socialize. As for him, he ran home again. When the contact time came, Zuo Zhong nervously sent a text message: whether it was safe and whether he should continue to lurk. The other side responded quickly: It is safe and the lurking has been cancelled. Zhang Anren from the underground party breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Qiu Chan would be suspected for leaking information. Now it seems that he doesn’t have to worry. Is this okay? A message was sent over there: Can you help find the traitor named Huang? It is reported that this person is under the protection of the secret service headquarters. Zuo Zhong thought about it after reading it. He wanted to find out where the person was based on the few pieces of information from the Secret Service Headquarters. Although it was a little difficult but not impossible, he replied quickly: He would find out as soon as possible. In addition, the Secret Service will investigate the Jinchuan Gate in two days. There is a large-scale manhunt going on near , Shuiximen and Taipingmen, please pay attention. Zhang Anren was startled again and then wondered, which department Qiu Chan was in, and why the Secret Service Headquarters and the Secret Service were both in his sight. However, this was not the time to think about this. Zhang Anren asked the telegraph operator to reply: Received. Zuo Zhong put his mobile phone into the space with satisfaction. He left two days for free activities, which not only allowed everyone to relax, but more importantly, gave time for the underground party to evacuate. Two days later, everyone in the Intelligence Section was in high spirits, armed to the teeth with all kinds of weapons and equipment. Zuo Zhong waved his hand, and cars rushed out of the gate one after another. Other departments of the Secret Service saw that the Intelligence Division was dispatched again. They looked at the Smiling Tiger again and thought to themselves that Jinling had just been calm for a few days, and now they don't know who will be unlucky again. Zuo Zhong took He Yijun and a team of people to investigate around Taipingmen. Party, government and military agencies gathered here, and a falling brick could hit ten officers. He was afraid that others would not be able to hold their ground. But after arriving, the first thing Zuo Zhong did was to make an appointment with Xing Hanliang and Ban Jun and ask them to meet near Taipingmen. The reason was naturally to facilitate secret investigation. Xing Hanliang is now the sergeant of the Police Department, and the tiger skin on his body can hide people's eyes, while Ban Jun is an anti-smuggling policeman, and it is legitimate for him to contact those businesses. Moreover, Zuo Zhong also wanted to win over two old friends. In addition to friendship, he also had practical considerations. People cannot do without helpers in their official careers. Zuo Zhong trusted them both. Xing Hanliang came to the gathering place with a red face. Zuo Zhong found that Sergeant Ning was with him. It seemed that their relationship was indeed good, otherwise Xing Hanliang would not have done this. “Chief Zuo, how long are you going to keep this secret from me? Did you mention me to Section Chief Yang?” Xing Hanliang gave me a bear hug when we met. “You’re about to strangle me, so I just mentioned it to Section Chief Yang. Don’t forget to thank me,” Zuo Zhong said angrily. Looking at Zuo Zhong rolling his eyes, the agents suppressed laughter. When had they ever seen the section chief look like this? He Yijun covered his mouth and laughed. Xing Hanliang then realized that Zuo Zhong still had so many subordinates, and quickly restrained his salute: "Report to Section Chief Zuo, Police Secretary Xing Hanliang has been ordered to report, this is." Zuo Zhong punched him: "Fuck you, I know this one, Sergeant Ning. He was the one who told me about your situation, otherwise you will just be patrolling on the street." Sheriff Ning stood aside and smiled, but said nothing. He knew that Zuo Zhong asked Xing Hanliang to cooperate with official duties, so he followed him as a joke. He already knows who Zuo Zhong is and how important his position is. He does not seek promotion and wealth. At least he has someone at the top who can be his backer. Xing Hanliang smiled naively. He felt that he was quite lucky. He had two good friends, Ban Jun and Zuo Zhong, in the police academy. After graduation, he met Lao Ning and always met noble people. “Sorry, sorry, I’ve been waiting for a long time!” Ban Jun gradually apologized and walked over with cupped hands. Zuo Zhong keenly noticed that Ban Jun's mood was much better than last time. It seemed that he had also changed recently, and it was a good change.
“Laoban, you are in a good mood today. Did something good happen to you?” Zuo Zhong made a pun. Ban Jun clasped his palms together: "I don't know which hero robbed a big shot's tobacco shop and attracted the attention of the superiors. I am much more relaxed now than before." Zuo Zhong didn't expect that there was something of his own involved, but he didn't want to explain anything. He did good deeds without leaving his name behind. He is such a noble person. Having finished chatting, Zuo Zhong mentioned the reason for calling them today. On the phone just now, he just said that he needed their help for an official matter. “Han Liang, Laoban, the Secret Service has recently discovered several spy radio stations. They have determined that they are near Jinchuan Gate, Shuixi Gate, and Taiping Gate. We need to check some people and a store. I need your help.” Xing Hanliang patted his chest: "Don't worry, Zuo Zhong. Lao Ning and I have acquaintances in the police stations in these three places, and we can conduct surveys in the name of population survey." Ban Jun didn't make any excuses: "It's not convenient for me to check the personnel, but leave those shops to me. As long as they have foreign goods in their shops, I have the right to detect smuggling." Zuo Zhong was very happy: “This can be considered the first time we collaborate after graduation.” Xing Hanliang and Ban Jun nodded. When they were in the police academy, the three of them often practiced together in action. Now that they belong to different departments, it is really rare that they still have the opportunity to cooperate. “Then let’s get started. I’ll send a few people to follow you. After all, my people need to be more professional.” Zuo Zhong immediately began to assign work. Time did not wait for me. With their help, Zuo Zhong can ignore the tedious registration work and only screen important targets, greatly speeding up the work progress. Brothers from Zhengzhou, come on! Hold on!
