Hua Zhang continued: "Also, we have to ensure that this kid tells the truth. Otherwise, there are still risks."
"Yes." Fan Keqin said: "When the time comes, just adapt to circumstances. If it doesn't work, you can give up and choose another time. As for Section Chief Li... let him die in another way, so that no one will suspect us. That way, we have some more time.”
After returning to the hotel, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang once again started looking for a safe house. Safety work must not be forgotten at all times, and those who do this must be cautious. This is a matter of principle that should never be forgotten wherever we go.
While Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang were looking for a safe house, the local security bureau also began investigating the municipal compound.
How can I say this municipal compound? In one word, it is heavily guarded. After all, no matter how loud the slogans of the Wang Puppet Government are, they also know in their hearts what is going on with them. Traitors are traitors. Especially big traitors, people who hold high-ranking positions in the puppet government, are even more aware of this.
And why are they traitors? It's just for their own selfish desires, to enjoy high positions and high salaries, and to have power and money. How could such a person not cherish his own life? They clearly know that the Red Party, the military command, the Security Bureau, and even some civil anti-Japanese groups all have their own anti-corruption teams. Wherever you live, safety must come first.
The entire municipal compound covers an area of more than ten acres. A large courtyard with a sentry at the door and patrols inside. There is a check-in lounge for security personnel on the first floor of each building. And there are at least four security officers doing registration and security work inside 24 hours a day.
In addition, inside the municipal compound, there is a group of patrol officers carrying guys on their backs every now and then throughout the day, wandering around the various buildings in the compound.
This is only the security level inside the municipal compound, which is already very high. In addition, less than a hundred meters next to the compound is the local police headquarters, which can be said to be able to provide support to the municipal compound at any time.
It is precisely because of this that regardless of the street outside the municipal compound, it is also a public space, and the flow of people on the street passes nearby normally. But for the security branch's investigation, it is more difficult. After all, if you stay in one place for a long time, it is really eye-catching.
Fortunately, the local security bureau as a whole is relatively responsible. The time has come for a branch to be established here. Therefore, after long-term investigation and surveillance of some key chokepoints in the entire city of Beiping, we have developed our own set of relatively effective methods.
Coupled with the information from previous investigations, it did not take two days this time. I have already checked out the information near the municipal compound. Then they were summarized, sorted, and sent to the bookstore you contacted.
After the bookstore owner received it, when he went home that night, he used the act of selling pastries at a pastry shop a few streets away as a cover to go to the agreed residential area of South 14th and put the information into one of the mailboxes. Then he turned around and left, returning to his home.
Hua Zhang had already retrieved the information the next morning. I unfolded it with Fan Keqin and took a look.
The information here is quite complete, including the internal structural diagram of the municipal compound, the number of floors in each building, and the locations of the villas where senior officials live in the compound. How often to patrol. Approximately what time and so on.
In addition, there are schematic diagrams of the conditions of several streets near the municipal compound. Where is the nearest support point? If something happens, how long will it take to get to the municipal compound? The approximate number of manpower and so on are all marked in detail.
After reading this information, Fan Keqin immediately felt that the efficiency of this Peiping branch was still very high. But this is really not surprising. After all, big cities like Peking, Shanghai, Tianjin, etc. The anti-Japanese struggle was very dangerous. The agents sent by the headquarters to infiltrate these big cities are selected from the best. And the level is also high. Therefore, it is not surprising that such detailed information can be obtained so quickly.
Hua Zhang said on the side: "Brother, the last message from the Peiping Branch said that the Wang Puppet official from Nanjing lives in the municipal compound is not clear yet, and it will take some time to investigate. I feel that this investigation work... …It’s going to be difficult. And it’s going to be quite long.”
"Do you have an idea?" Fan Keqin lit a cigarette for himself, then used a silver-shell lighter to light all the information and threw it into a large glass ashtray.
Hua Zhang replied: "That's a good idea. You see, it is obviously difficult to investigate this municipal compound. Especially inside, it is impossible for outsiders to sneak in. And if the Nanjing official has been very Staying low-key inside, hiding in a certain house, is almost impossible to be discovered. No matter how capable the brothers in the Peiping branch are, they can only rely on peripheral investigation... I can't say that it is completely impossible, but it is still too much. Difficult."
"Hmm." Fan Keqin said: "What do you mean, we still need to create some opportunities, and then take the initiative to find out the house where the Nanjing official lives?"
"Yes." Hua Zhang said: "That's what I mean, but I'm a little conflicted now. I'm afraid that if I disturb the other party, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Fan Keqin nodded and did not answer immediately. He said, "We won't eat here at noon. Let's go out and try the local snacks. Then in the afternoon, we will go to the municipal compound to have a look in person."
Si minus B* Si. "Okay." Hua Zhang said, "I happen to be a little hungry."
The two people talked and without further delay, they got dressed and left the hotel room directly. After arriving downstairs, it was only around eleven o'clock anyway, so there was no rush. I strolled through a few streets with my arms crossed, and then got on two rickshaws and arrived near the municipal compound.
This neighborhood does not mean next to the municipal compound. Instead, it stopped five streets away from the municipal compound. After paying the fare, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang entered a nearby street.
Mihe Mi. There are a lot of people doing business on this street, especially the snacks on both sides of the street, which is a lot. The aromas of various foods are mixed together, making people feel like their index fingers are moving when they smell it.
Fan Keqin tried the local specialty snack, braised small intestine, and Hua Zhang had another braised and fired dish. I ate two portions of sesame sauce belly shreds at an old man’s stall. One was crispy and the other was tender. I couldn’t stop eating it.
