It should be said that history has the ability to serve the country. As soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he expanded the scale of the local intelligence station to the limit and established a more complete framework than the old station in the past. But this guy is from a logistics background after all, so when he encounters a difficult case like this, he is a bit confused. You know, Boss Dai's rules are very strict. If you really exceed the time limit and you haven't made any progress, you may actually collapse.
After reading the origin of the matter, Fan Keqin continued to look down. The following is the investigation of the case, including the telegram decoded by Jiang Yuying. Because she deciphered the message by summarizing the rules formed by cryptography experts and the codebooks seized by Fan Keqin and others. Therefore, Fan Keqin can be sure that the person who sent the report must be a Japanese spy.
According to the report below, Fan Keqin carefully looked at the investigation of the past two days and found that the freighter was called the Little Bird and belonged to the Spark Trading Company. The company's boss was named Song Danxin.
Of course, Xinghuo Trading Company and Song Danxin are just a disguise of the National Government, specially used to secretly transport some urgently needed domestic supplies from the sea. Song Danxin is just like a white glove, working for the government.
After Shi Baoguo received the order, he immediately began to investigate the Spark Trading Company. He also understood that although this kind of ship transporting supplies had radio stations and telegraphs to facilitate contact with the company at any time, it was disguised to reveal what was being transported on it. It's impossible for everyone to know. So an investigation was immediately started, and it was finally discovered that no one else knew about it except the company's boss Song Danxin, general manager Wang Zhiqian, and a special dispatcher sent by the government.
Since the establishment of Spark Company, these three people have transported supplies back and forth from the United States in this way no less than ten times. If there was a problem with these three people, it would have happened a long time ago, and we couldn't wait until now. Therefore, Shi Baoguo's intelligence station almost reached a deadlock in its investigation here. But he didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so he began to seek help from his old boss Sun Guoxin.
Fan Keqin estimated that he was Sun Guoxin's old subordinate after all, and it would be a bit unkind not to help him at this time. And if you pull it together, no matter what the outcome is, there is no loss. With Boss Dai, I can get the impression that I actively help the bureau chief and share their worries. The people below will also feel that their Virgo is very affectionate.
Now Sun Guoxin showed him this case, and the meaning was self-evident, he probably wanted to help solve the case. Fan Keqin, who knows history, understands that Guangzhou is not far away from its fall, but overall it is still safe.
After reading the dossier, Fan Keqin put it back into the document bag and was about to go out. There was a sudden knock on the door. So he put the document bag next to him and said, "Come in."
As soon as the door opened, Hua Zhang walked in. After she closed the door, she came up and said, "Section Chief, Lian Mingli and Wende are back from Peking."
Fan Keqin looked up at her, threw away a cigarette, and said, "Sit down and talk in detail." After that, he also lit one.
Hua Zhang took a puff of cigarette and said: "Section Chief, in a short period of time, I found a teacher from Gu Xijun's girls' school and two classmates. I specially sent Lian Mingli and Wende to Peiping to bring this back. "As he said that, he placed a photo on the table.
Fan Keqin reached out and picked it up and looked at it, but it was a large group photo, probably a graduation photo. There were only about twenty people on top, standing in two rows, looking at the camera with a smile. They were pretty girls.
In the second row, the taller row, fourth from the left, is the charming Gu Xijun. It's just that this is a photo of her from several years ago, she is more young and innocent.
After reading it, Fan Keqin put the photo down and said, "What did her teacher and classmates say?"
Hua Zhang said: "Her teacher said that Gu Xijun was excellent in both character and academics. He drew inferences from one example and completed the three-year course in just one year. Lian Mingli reported that this photo was given to us by her teacher." Followed. He flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Her two classmates are this and this." He pointed at the two female students in the photo. Then he continued: "These two students had a good relationship with Gu Xijun back then. Sometimes they often went to Gu Xijun's house to play. Gu Xijun's father was also very kind and often cooked some meals for them."
Fan Keqin nodded and said: "Well, I have met his father, and he often cooks for their juniors, which means that the possibility of her being a spy is greatly reduced." Then he took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a long breath. The smoke came and continued: "You reported a few days ago that Gu Xijun had very little information during the spy training class, the Shanghai Station, and the headquarters. Check the information. Just because she has never disappeared for a long time, it shows that she is still herself. The news you brought back to Peking this time is even more proof of this." He paused, Looking at Hua Zhang, he said: "Okay, we can stop investigating her now."
Hua Zhang stood up and said: "Yes!"
Fan Keqin put out the cigarette butt and said, "There's nothing else to do. You go back and let Lian Mingli and Wende have a good rest today. After all, it's very hard to go to the Japanese war zone."
Seeing Hua Zhang go out, Fan Keqin knew for sure. Just as he had judged before, Gu Xijun could only have three identities: a Japanese spy, a military commander, and a red party member. Now that she has been ruled out as a spy, Fan Keqin is no longer interested in who she is. This is why he suddenly asked Hua Zhang to stop the in-depth investigation.
Fan Keqin believes that as long as she is not a spy, it really doesn't matter who she is. Because she contributed to the cause of the war, that was all.
As for why you are not sure? Fan Keqin felt that this was a kind of protection for Gu Xijun, and it was also a kind of protection for himself. Even if it is finally found out that the other party is a red party, when Fan Keqin comes, do you think he will kill Huazhang and others to silence him? Or kill Gu Xijun? Uncle Zhao of later generations told us the answer long ago on the Spring Festival Evening - Regarding this question, it won't work if you kill whoever you first.
Therefore, since it is determined that the possibility of her being a spy is very low, then it is the most perfect answer not to pursue the final answer. Fan Keqin stood up, picked up the document bag, went out and went up to the second floor again. Seeing that Gu Xijun still looked normal, he asked, "Where is Virgo?"
Gu Xijun smiled and said: "Sir Fan, wait a minute." Then he pressed the buzzer, said a few words to Sun Guoxin, waved his hand and said: "Sir Fan, please come in."
Fan Keqin nodded to her, opened the door and walked in. Qian Jinxun was no longer here at this time. So when he arrived at the desk, he put down the document bag and said, "Virgo, I've finished reading it."
Sun Guoxin pointed to the chair and asked, "Let's talk about it, what do you think?"
Fan Keqin said: "This file is the investigation report of the Guangzhou Station, and it will not be of much help to Beizhi. However, Beizhi thought that there was nothing wrong with the ship when it set off, but when it came back, Japanese spies suddenly sent a report, and it was An unfamiliar radio station means that the spy did not know the situation when the ship went out to sea. He only learned about this information when the ship came back. This is a clue in time. Others, Not sure at all.”
After hearing this, Sun Guoxin said: "Well, the time has been determined, and the scope is quite large."
Fan Keqin heard what he said and thought: Come on, take the initiative yourself. Then he said: "Virgin, how about taking a humble job and going to Guangzhou on a business trip? It's really difficult to track down Japanese spies by just looking at the files here."
Sun Guoxin glanced at him, a little hesitant. He had really wanted to send Fan Keqin there before, but when Boss Dai issued a military order to the old man, he took the initiative to help the boss solve the problem, and the other party would definitely have a better impression of him. Secondly, you can also help your old subordinates.
But the current situation in Guangzhou is really a bit dangerous. There are various signs that the Japanese army is bound to win Guangzhou, an important coastal city. Once Fan Keqin gets there and the Japanese army breaks through the defense line and attacks Guangzhou, Fan Keqin will easily be trapped inside. Because of this, I feel a little reluctant to lose one of my close generals. So he spoke hesitantly and said: "Keqin, the situation of our army on the front line is not very good. Guangzhou is a strategic location that the Japanese army must win. Once the Japanese army breaks through our defense line, you may be trapped." It’s all right, so… I’m still a little unsure about paying attention.”
Fan Keqin, who knew the historical time, didn't care much, because Guangzhou was indeed occupied by the Japanese army a month later, but he still had plenty of time, so as long as he seizes the time, it shouldn't be a big problem. Then he said: "Virgin, I see that these Japanese spies in Guangzhou are very arrogant. They suddenly sent out a report at this time, relying on the Japanese army to threaten Guangzhou. Therefore, they will inevitably be careless and expose their flaws. After they leave their humble positions, , we must strive to capture the Japanese spies as quickly as possible, and then we will never stop and come back immediately."
After hearing this, Sun Guoxin thought for a long time and then said: "Okay, I will inform Shibao Guoli to cooperate with you. You will bring a few more close friends in the intelligence department to capture the Japanese spies as quickly as possible. Keqin, you Remember, once the war situation changes, you can give up at any time and return to Chongqing immediately. Your safety is the first priority, do you understand?"
Fan Keqin stood up and said, "Thank you, Sir, for your concern. Please bear this in mind."
Sun Guoxin said: "Without further ado, you go and select your entourage now, bring a few more with you, and I will personally arrange the route for you."
"Yes!" Fan Keqin said, turned around and walked out of the door, returning to his office. After he thought about it for a moment, he picked up the phone and called the field team.
