With further support from Sun Guoxin, Fan Keqin's main focus now is on Ichiwamon and training the nine-man team.
However, the spy Ichichimon was very calm and did not make any special moves for several days. But the more this happened, the less Fan Keqin dared to relax. He listened to Zhao Hongliang's reports every day, and even went to the surveillance point to investigate in person several times.
When training the first nine-person team, Fan Keqin studied their information in detail, as well as the situation in Northeast China, the local environment, possible tasks to be performed in the future, etc., and developed a training plan based on the characteristics of each person.
Among them, captain Wei Shan and Fan Keqin were mainly trained on his commanding ability, as well as how to secretly contact his subordinates, select targets, establish material transportation channels, etc.
As for the eight people responsible for specific operations, Fan Keqin focused on cultivating their tactical literacy. For example, when attacking a target building, what formation should be adopted and what kind of weapons should be deployed reasonably. When should we adopt a two-by-two covering formation, when should we adopt a surprise formation with flank protection, etc. However, Fan Keqin does not advocate this kind of attack tactic, because it is a method that is only used when there is really no other way.
Therefore, he also specifically told Wei Shan not to allow any cooperation from his brothers unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, sniping, poisoning, and setting bombs, which can be carried out by one or two people without the other people meeting each other, can obtain target information and kill the target, has become the focus of special training.
Fan Keqin taught these nine people everything he had learned and seen in his later life and now. It can be said that he did not retain much. However, time is limited after all, and he can only meet one person at a time, so he picks some key points and trains according to the characteristics of each person.
On this day, Fan Keqin returned to his office in the Intelligence Department after teaching a man named Wang Hai how to hide a car bomb. But as soon as he entered, Qian Jinxun called and asked him to come to his office.
Fan Keqin immediately went upstairs, passed Kong Xinran and entered Qian Jinxun's office. I saw the latter frowning and looking down at a document. So he walked over and sat across from him and said, "Are you having trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jinxun handed over the document and said, "See it for yourself."
Fan Keqin took it and read it, but it was a document marked top secret. The content contained general information about a person. After reading it, he said, "What do you mean? What happened to this person?"
Qian Jinxun said in a low voice: "This is what came back from one of our secret sources in Shanghai. It was said that after arriving in Shanghai, this person entered the Japanese military headquarters and his behavior was very suspicious. He suspected that this person had brought a copy of our Confidential government documents entered the Japanese military department.”
As soon as he heard what Qian Jinxun said, Fan Keqin understood that this secret line might be a military command agent who had penetrated into the enemy's interior, and based on his own observations, he inadvertently obtained the information, or obtained it from the side. Therefore, the file Qian Jinxun gave him was a person's unreliable information.
So Fan Keqin didn't ask much about the secret line. He just asked: "Is the person he found a traitor or a spy lurking locally?"
Qian Jinxun said: "I don't know. I guess he learned about it from the side. However, he also reported a situation that shortly after arriving at the Japanese military headquarters, this person left again. He guessed that he might have returned to lurk again. In our Kuomintang-controlled area. Moreover, not long after this person left Shanghai, the Japanese Military Department in Shanghai held several meetings. The participants were all high-level officials, and it was also because of this that this person attracted his attention."
Fan Keqin said: "You want to find this person? So you can know why he went to Shanghai, right?"
Qian Jinxun nodded and said, "Yes."
Fan Keqin thought for a while and said: "The information is too vague. He is about forty years old, his height is uncertain, his appearance is uncertain, and his name is uncertain. Only a Nanjing accent can be used. But his itinerary can be forged, so As far as Shanghai, it’s not even possible to check. Moreover, the Kuomintang-controlled area is also very vague and the area is too large.”
Qian Jinxun lit a cigarette and said a little worried, "I know, that's why I asked you to come over."
Fan Keqin thought for a long time without speaking, and said: "It's not impossible to investigate. After this person arrived in Shanghai, the local Japanese military leaders held a meeting. If there is a direct connection between these two things, it means that this person led A very important piece of information has been obtained. And who can have access to such important information? Only top military government officials, military commissions, combat headquarters, and other confidential departments can have access. But a large-scale investigation is required, so the news will be loud. It's very big." After saying that, he took out a cigar, lit it and took a sip, and said: "These departments, even our military commander can't directly investigate them, right? Unless Boss Dai speaks personally."
Qian Jinxun was deeply touched and said: "Yes... How about I give this secret source an order and ask him to investigate in Shanghai? For example, the purpose of the Japanese meeting?"
Fan Keqin shook his head and said: "No, I don't know who this secret line is and what his capabilities are. But the fact that this secret line can send back such a piece of information proves that his position is very important. If he continues to take risks, If so, we might lose him."
After hearing this, Qian Jinxun hesitated a little and said, "But there is only such a small amount of information now, and there is no way to check it."
Fan Keqin thought carefully, and after smoking half a cigar, he spoke again, saying: "I estimate that this person has a high probability of returning to Chongqing. For the same reason, important information can only be obtained locally. And He personally went to Shanghai, which further illustrates how important this information is... Do you have anyone in the confidential departments of our government? Ask who has just returned from a business trip recently. Or, simply think of a way , get the attendance sheets of all departments, and anyone who has been on a business trip recently will be a serious suspect."
"That's right." Qian Jinxun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "I just said it was right to come to you. Okay, I will be responsible for getting the attendance sheet. After I get it, I will come to you again."
Fan Keqin flicked the ashes of his cigarette and reminded: "Pay attention, I am talking about everyone who has been on a business trip or even asked for leave. No matter what the reason is, anyone who has not been to work recently will be suspected. Because if I were this spy and had to return to the local area again after stealing important information, I would disguise myself in advance. Otherwise, it would be better not to come back."
Qian Jinxun nodded and said: "Yes! Otherwise, it will be like throwing yourself into a trap. I will pay attention to this situation. First, find all the people who have not been at work in the near future, and then we will carefully identify them."
Fan Keqin said: "Well, women can be excluded, but age... can also be disguised. Then as long as they are men, they must be included in the identification list."
Qian Jinxun frowned and said: "When you say that, I even think that there are witnesses who are a bit unreliable."
Fan Keqin said: "Yes, it is true that he can't rule out the illusion that he created evidence. But whoever has the opportunity to access important information can always figure it out. Those who have no access can naturally be excluded. Of course, it may be that we are overthinking , after all, our informant returned a piece of undetailed information, which means that the spy may not necessarily know that he has been noticed."
Qian Jinxun nodded and said: "Yeah, that's right. Anyway, let's first take a look at the people who haven't gone to work or been on business trips recently."
Fan Keqin said: "Have you reported this to the chief?"
Qian Jinxun smiled and said: "No, I just found out about it. You can't just go and talk to Virgo without having any ideas."
Fan Keqin said: "Okay, then I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go to Taikoo Street again. I have a list, so you can find me again."
Fan Keqin left his office and saw that the time was already close to five o'clock in the evening, so he came to the courtyard, got in his car and drove directly towards Taikoo Street.
But when he got off the bus at Yanfu Street, he turned around and saw Hua Zhang walking out of the nearby department store wearing a dress and white high-heeled shoes. Then, she smiled at him, which can be said to be charming. Came over affectionately.
Seeing this, Fan Keqin immediately came over with a smile on his face and said, "Something was delayed just now. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Hua Zhang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, where shall we eat?" As he spoke, he naturally took Fan Keqin's arm.
Fan Keqin followed the strength of her arm and calmly turned to the back, saying: "Anywhere is fine, why don't we go shopping first and choose while shopping."
Hua Zhang smiled and said, "Okay."
The two people took a few steps forward. Fan Keqin's sharp eyes saw a figure about fifty meters in front of him who looked very familiar from behind. After a quick analysis, he found out that it was Ichichiemon.
Fan Keqin smiled and whispered: "Have you been discovered by him?"
Hua Zhang also turned his face sideways, looked at Fan Keqin with a smile, and said in a low voice: "No, I saw you coming out of the car, and I temporarily decided that this method of cover would be better. I'm afraid you might miss him."
"Yeah." Fan Keqin said: "It's good to be able to adapt to changes. What's going on, let's talk about it."
Hua Zhang walked slowly with him as if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and said: "This is the first time he has gone out in two days. You told us last time that this person doesn't usually do anything, so as long as he goes out, If he moved, something must have happened. So the captain sent me to follow him."
Fan Keqin said: "A woman sometimes reduces the risk of exposure. But what about your partner?"
Hua Zhang still looked at him with a smile and said, "On the street."
Fan Keqin understood that the street tracking method was a method he taught the novice agents in class. In this case, one person is decorated with a colorful seal at the back, and the other person adopts the street-facing style, which is safer.
However, Fan Keqin felt that this woman was indeed talented as an agent. While performing a mission, he accidentally saw himself, and his immediate reaction was almost perfect.
