That night, Fan Keqin, Zhang Zhikai, and Hua Zhang lived on the second floor of the International Hotel. Of course, this was what Shi Baoguo’s Guangzhou Station had already decided for them.
After a comfortable sleep, Fan Keqin got up the next morning and directly summoned everyone to his room for a meeting. After everyone sat down, in accordance with the old rules of the intelligence office, each person tossed a cigarette and lit it, and then they all started together. The spectacular scene of tinkering with smoke soon filled the entire house with a feeling of mist.
In such a dreamy environment, Fan Keqin looked at the crowd and said: "Let me tell you the reason for this business trip first. Half a month ago, one of our supply ships was intercepted by the Japanese navy in the offshore China. The day before the supply ship was intercepted, an agent from our Military Telecommunications Department discovered a mysterious telegraph signal while on a business trip in Guangzhou..."
Before everyone came back, they did not know the specific information of the mission. At this time, Fan Keqin described the file he had read in detail to let everyone understand the situation. Finally, he said: "So Virgo sent us to Guangzhou to track down this mysterious telegraph signal. Now it is basically certain that it is 100% the work of Japanese spies."
Zhang Zhikai said: "According to what the section chief just said, the investigation at Guangzhou Station can't help us much. Only three people know about the Xinghuo Trading Company being investigated, so it can be said that there has been no progress."
Yan Shiyi nodded aside and said: "Captain Zhang is right, we cannot judge based on the progress of their investigation."
Fan Keqin said: "Well, so I plan to investigate from the beginning. Lao Zhang, you and Jin Jia are responsible for going to Xinghuo Trading Company to find out the cause in detail. If you need someone, go to Guangzhou Station and ask for it. I will say hello to Shi Baoguo. .”
The two of them knew Fan Keqin's style, so they stood up and took orders and left the room.
Fan Keqin said again: "Wang Yang, take Wang Xingchao to the Municipal Materials Management Bureau and find their director He Shan to find out how many people in the municipal government know about the material ship."
"Understood!" Wang Yang patted Wang Xingchao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go." He turned around and walked out of the room.
Fan Keqin pointed to Yan Shiyi and Xiao Jie and said, "Go and visit the dock. Ask them whether they are workers or administrative staff about the specific conditions of loading and unloading goods."
After Yan Shiyi and Xiao Jie stepped out of the room, Fan Keqin stood up, paused, and said, "I forgot to let them have breakfast."
Hua Zhang smiled and said: "It's okay, they can't forget it. I see there are many tea restaurants on the streets of Guangzhou, it's very convenient to have a meal."
Fan Keqin asked: "After dinner yesterday, did you go shopping?"
Hua Zhang nodded and said, "Well, I took a walk around, it was quite lively."
Fan Keqin said: "Okay. Lao Yu, you and Hua Zhang follow me. Let's go to eat first, and then go to Guangzhou Station to have a look." He took the lead and walked out of the room. When we got to the dining room downstairs, we ordered authentic Cantonese-style morning tea, ate it all, paid and left.
Shi Baoguo left a car for Fan Keqin at the end of the dinner yesterday, which came in handy at this time. Yu Dehai was responsible for driving all the way to No. 101 Xiangdian Street, a three-story building.
This is the Juntong Intelligence Station, the office building of Guangzhou Station. However, there is only one building here. It is not like an intelligence office. It is a large courtyard with one main building and three annex buildings.
There were two guards holding long guns at the gate. After showing them their IDs, Fan Keqin took Hua Zhang and the two inside. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the mailing and receiving registration room next to him. A young man in a Chinese tunic suit said, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
Fan Keqin walked over and said, "I'm looking for Station Master Shi."
The young man asked: "Who are you?"
Fan Keqin took out his ID again, showed it to the other party, and said: "From the Military Intelligence Division."
The young man confirmed his ID, became friendly, and said, "Please wait a moment." Then he reached out and dialed the phone. After the call was connected, he said, "Hello, Captain Ouyang? I'm at the gate registration office. I have three pieces of information. I'm looking for the station manager... Yes, the leader is Fan Keqin. Okay. Goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, the young man said to Fan Keqin: "Sir Fan, please wait a moment, someone will come to pick you up."
"Okay, thanks." Fan Keqin said and looked around. He saw that he was in a larger foyer. In front of it was a wide staircase. On both sides of the staircase stood a guard with a gun, connecting to the foyer. To the left and right are slightly dark corridors. As you can see, there are offices of various departments on both sides of the corridor.
About three minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps. Shi Baoguo and Ouyang Fei were seen walking down the stairs in front. Shi Baoguo arrived and said with a smile: "Brother Fan is truly a role model for our generation of soldiers. Come and help me so early. Come on, come on, please!"
Fan Keqin was polite and greeted Ouyang Fei a few words, and together they came to a room in the middle of the left side of the second floor. There is a rectangular conference table in the room with several chairs. There is a row of sofas next to the window. Fan Keqin looked at the furnishings inside and saw that it was obviously a combination of a conference room and a reception room.
Ouyang Fei made two pots of tea next to him, first put it on the coffee table for Fan Keqin and the other two, and then he started chatting with Hua Zhang and Yu Dehai.
Fan Keqin said: "Stationmaster, why don't you see Director Lei? Are you busy with work?"
Shi Baoguo said dissatisfied: "Why are you still the webmaster? You look so heretical." He then picked up the teapot and poured tea for Fan Keqin while saying, "Brother, I was enlightened after listening to your words yesterday. I asked him to go to the Material Management Bureau this morning."
"Oh." Fan Keqin said: "So that's it! By the way, old brother, if my brothers take any action, please take care of them. I asked them to divide their troops into three groups this morning and go separately. We have the Spark Trading Company, the Material Management Bureau, and the Bulk Cargo Terminal.”
"I haven't said anything." Shi Baoguo said: "Whether you want people or equipment, as long as I have what I have here, just say it. You are helping me, and I will definitely accept your kindness."
"You're welcome." Fan Keqin said, "Brother, can you tell me the details of Director Lei's original investigation?"
Shi Baoguo nodded and said, "That's no problem. After I received Boss Dai's order, I immediately sent Director Lei to Spark Company. When he arrived there, he first found Song Danxin and asked who was there. They are insiders. Song Danxin said that only the general manager Wang Zhiqian and Feng Changfeng, the reporting specialist sent by our government, knew about the entire company. Then Lao Lei investigated and verified that the statements of these three people were consistent, and that the mysterious signal On the day they appeared, these three people all had alibi witnesses, which should rule out suspicion.”
Fan Keqin thought for a while and said, "Brother...it's not right."
"Oh?" Shi Baoguo asked doubtfully, "You think that's wrong?"
Fan Keqin said: "What you just said is that on the day when the mysterious signal appeared, Song Danxin and three other people had alibi?"
Shi Baoguo nodded and said, "Yes! Witnesses are still very reliable. Do you want to see the investigation testimony?"
"That's not necessary." Fan Keqin said, "It's just that Director Lei has overlooked something." Then he unconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Shi Baoguo, and took one himself. Li Li took a sip and continued: "If I remember correctly, the signal was sent on the 7th, and it was intercepted by the Telecommunications Department agents at 2:22 pm. Then the Japanese spy who sent the report , is just the behavior of a terminal. What about the people on it? Who obtained this information? What steps does he need to take after obtaining the information? How does it transfer it to the dispatcher? There must be a process. Therefore, the spy The time to obtain the information may not be on the 7th, this transfer process. No matter how efficient they are, it still takes a day. Therefore, it seems wrong to just investigate the whereabouts of Song Danxin and the three people that day."
Shi Baoguo nodded and said: "I didn't think it was right at the time, but Director Lei responded that in the three days before the 7th, the three of them were almost always together when they went to work. Because the ship was approaching, they were always together. . It can also be proved by each other, so he did not delve into it."
Fan Keqin said: "Where are you after get off work?"
Shi Baoguo said: "This... brother, I was a little anxious at the time. You also know how strict Boss Dai's family rules are. He was considering that the Japanese spies might escape after sending the report. So, I asked him to Lei, Ouyang and the others contacted the police station, gendarmerie and other departments, and took people to the streets to check for suspicious persons."
Fan Keqin nodded, feeling that this might be a classic case of a layman commanding an expert. But you really can’t say that Shi Baoguo’s behavior was completely wrong. After all, this had happened before. After the Japanese spies finished sending the report, they moved the radio with them. They were directly discovered during the check at the checkpoint and were killed on the spot.
So Fan Keqin took a puff of cigarette and said: "Well, it doesn't matter. Webmaster Shi has considered it very carefully. I see there are still traps on the street. After I came, I was investigating the case, and we happened to give these The Japanese spies will use a two-pronged attack."
Shi Baoguo felt a little more comfortable when he heard that Fan Keqin walked down the steps and said, "Brother Fan, how about we just wait for your brothers now?"
Fan Keqin said: "Yes, stationmaster Shi can rest assured that these people are also veterans and will definitely make some progress. At least they can help us define a scope. Because only those who have been in contact with and understand the supply ship can know the inside story. . Moreover, Webmaster Shi provided a very important piece of information, which can also be used as a basis for judgment."
After hearing this, Shi Baoguo felt a little confused and thought to himself, "What basis did I provide for this?"
