Dead mailbox, as the name suggests, is an unmanned handover point in intelligence activities. The explanation of the word "dead" is that it should be understood more as meaning "unmanned". It is mainly used to transfer information between intelligence agents, and can also be used to transfer items.
In Liu Changchuan's view, Kentaro Watanabe was very suspicious. Although he stayed at the stake next to the tree for a short time, his hand obviously slapped the bottom of the stake. The stake must be a "dead mailbox", possibly used to deliver items. It's slightly smaller, but it's more than enough for delivering notes and information.
Liu Changchuan took Yamashita Rika's hand and sat on the wooden post. The wooden post could only seat one person. He squatted on the ground and held Yamashita Rika's hand and said insignificant words. To the passersby, they looked like two lovers in love. .
Liu Changchuan gently reached into the gap at the bottom of the wooden pile and took out a piece of paper. He glanced at it and quickly stuffed it back. He was really not sure whether the person receiving the information was watching from a distance.
"My dear, let's go sit on the bench over there, shall we?" Liu Changchuan smiled and took Yamashita Rika's hand.
"Okay." Yamashita Rika agreed, hugging Liu Changchuan's arm and stood up.
Liu Changchuan put his arms around Yamashita Rika's waist and sat on a chair more than 10 meters away from the wooden post, waiting for someone to go to the "dead mailbox" to get information. Normally, this kind of "dead mailbox" usually takes between 1 and 5 minutes to be offline. Come on, if it is too late, it may be accidentally taken away by playful children.
"Nagawa-kun, shall we go to Qingshuiyo Restaurant for dinner tonight?" Yamashita Rika asked in a low voice from the side.
She was very happy recently. The extra-high school class gave him a lot of money. Liu Changchuan not only bought her clothes, but also gave her a sum of money, which made her very happy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Liu Changchuan replied, but his eyes were fixed on the wooden stake, waiting for someone to come and get information.
Two minutes later, a man in black clothes, a hat and a scarf sat on a wooden stake. Liu Changchuan quickly glanced at him with his "scanning eye".
Scanning………………
[Paul Thomson is 42 years old and unemployed]
Jobless......?
How can this be? Liu Changchuan was extremely shocked.
When Paul Thomson walked out of the small park, Liu Changchuan hurriedly followed him, but there was a huge wave in his heart. Normally, someone who could interact with a big shot like Kentaro Watanabe must be an agent of the British Consulate in Shanghai. How could he be an unemployed person? ?
Could it be that the British didn't value Kentaro Watanabe and randomly sent an informant who wasn't working to collect information? No, no, no, absolutely impossible!
Kentaro Watanabe is the second secretary of the consulate and ranks fourth in the official position of the consulate in Shanghai. He can receive a large amount of strategic-level intelligence from the local area. It is absolutely impossible for informants to contact him.
Liu Changchuan then suddenly remembered the content of the intelligence. The note was about the Japanese requesting the British to cooperate in closing and freezing the funds of the Yamacheng Bank in the Concession. That was a large amount of money, which could at least purchase a few divisions of ordnance.
Why the information about the mountain city?
Why did Shogo Yoshimoto ask him to investigate Kentaro Watanabe? Could it be that he was interested in his own ability? He had not received any systematic training in the extra-high school class and had a bullshit ability.
Damn it, Yoshimoto Masago is not screening himself? He was really willing to spend money and actually persuaded the people in the consulate to cooperate.
Liu Changchuan had already thought that he would not pass the information on the note to Shangfeng, and would not even contact Lao Zhang for some time in the future. The leak of the counterfeit banknotes made the Japanese doubt him. Of course, Masago Yoshimoto might doubt everyone.
…
In the Military Police Special High School class, Masago Yoshimoto put down the phone with a sneer.
"Section Chief, did Liu Changchuan read the note?" Secretary Nakamura asked carefully from the side.
"Our man was watching closely with a telescope a hundred meters away. He read the contents of the note." Masago Yoshimoto walked to the window and seemed to be answering or talking to himself.
Nakamura took a few steps closer and said with a hint of seriousness: "Section chief, Seiji Kotetsu, Shi Hashimoto, and Kogoro Yamada have all been screened, and they are all fine. Could it be Liu Changchuan?"
"Not necessarily. We don't know the specific number of counterfeit banknotes leaked in the special high school, but I am still worried about the "barbed wire" lurking in the special high school. Screening can at least ensure that the special high school is clean.
"Then what if Liu Changchuan doesn't read the content of the note?" Nakamura asked cautiously.
"If he doesn't look, then we will screen him once." Masago Yoshimoto replied with a sneer.
…
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Changchuan asked Rika Yamashita to go back by herself. On the way back to the special high school, he lamented that being a spy was extremely dangerous. He had to be careful not to tell his own people, and he had to be careful about internal censorship at all times. The slightest negligence would lead to death.
If he really passes the contents of the note to Shangfeng and there is any trouble at Shancheng Bank in the concession, he will be caught in the torture room, and the consequences he will face can be imagined.
Yoshimoto Shogo, you are such an old fox, you almost got your grandfather and me into this.
…
"Liu Sang, where have you been recently?" Liu Changchuan had just entered the gendarmerie and met Hashimoto Shi who was off work at the door.
"I have a mission, is squad leader Xiaozhe here?"
"No, he seems to have left work early." Hashimoto chatted with Liu Changchuan for a few words and left on his bicycle.
Liu Changchuan walked directly into the extra-high school class and knocked on the door of Masago Yoshimoto's office.
Dong dong dong dong……
"Come in." Shogo Yoshimoto shouted.
Liu Changchuan opened the door and went in, bowed to Masago Yoshimoto, and said very seriously: "Section Chief, the tasks you assigned have become clear."
"Oh, please tell me carefully." Yoshimoto Shogo looked very excited.
Liu Changchuan curled his lips secretly, he could really pretend. But on the surface, he still said softly: "Section Chief, Kentaro Watanabe went to the small park on South Street in the Japanese Concession at noon today to make contact. He did not meet the contact person, but used a dead mailbox. I quietly read the information content, and then received it. The intelligence officer went to the concession.
"What did the intelligence say?" Masago Yoshimoto took a deep look at Liu Changchuan.
Liu Changchuan briefly described the content of the intelligence and asked if it was necessary to continue to monitor Kentaro Watanabe.
"Liu Sang, you did a good job. I need to report this matter to the mainland. The matter of Kentaro Watanabe is over. You have been working very hard these days. Go home and take a day off." Masago Yoshimoto said, "You are a talent. I am very happy." Pay attention to how you look.
"It's the section chief. I'm willing to die for the section chief." Liu Changchuan patted his chest and looked at Masago Yoshimoto with a grateful face.
"Yo Xi, then Liu Sang should go back first." Masago Yoshimoto replied with a smile.
When Liu Changchuan went out, Nakamura stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the section chief, Liu Changchuan should be fine, which means our special high school class is clean."
"Let's wait and see the situation of the Yamashiro Bank in the concession tomorrow. I'll be relieved if Liu Changchuan is fine." Masago Yoshimoto walked to the window and murmured to himself as he looked at Liu Changchuan who was going downstairs to go out.
