The car quickly arrived across the road from the Construction Committee. Wu Chunyang turned the car around. Instead of rushing in, he looked behind him to make sure it was clean before quickly driving through the gate.
As soon as they entered, someone immediately locked the door. It seemed that the place had been taken over by Gui Youguang, but I didn't know what name and excuse he used, and whether he alerted the Japanese spies.
"Walk."
Zuo Zhong waited for the car to stop, jumped out of the car and walked upstairs. As he walked, he looked at his watch. It was one minute before 6 o'clock, so he had caught up. He didn't know if Min Ping had posted the information.
As he walked, he found that there was no one in the building. This should be Gui Youguang's arrangement. This guy was smarter this time, otherwise there would be a risk of being exposed with so many strangers in and out.
When he reached the second floor, a small spy came over and reported in a low voice: "Section Chief, the target has just approached the dead mailbox, and no suspicious target has been found yet.
Commander Gui did not arrange for close investigation. He only established surveillance points in these three places, the Traffic Corps, and the Army Prison. As long as the other party appears, he will be in our sight. "
Zuo Chongen grunted. Gui Youguang's arrangement was quite reasonable. He surrounded the dead mailbox from three directions. No matter which direction Tianfu went to recover the information, it would all be within the surveillance range of the Intelligence Department.
Anyway, if you don't plan to follow up, there is no point in sticking to the investigation. After practicing for so long, the big bald man finally learned something. In the past, he could send someone to sit next to the dead mailbox.
"Here we are, section chief."
The agent leading the way stopped and pushed open a door. Inside was a huge conference room with a long window on the north side and a few curtains hung randomly on it.
And Gui Youguang was hiding behind one of the curtains. He was half-crouched, holding on to the window sill, holding a telescope in his right hand, looking furtively to the northwest, not even noticing Zuo Zhong's arrival.
The other agents were all hiding in the southeast corner of the conference room. It was a blind spot and there were no buildings around to observe, such as the Central Hospital where Tianfu might be hiding. They did a good job.
Especially the arrangement of these curtains has a certain meaning of virtual reality. If all the curtains are hung, it may arouse the other party's vigilance, or at least make the other party look at this place a few more times.
It feels more natural to just hang a few pictures. When I suddenly saw that the conference room was empty, no one would be interested in an empty conference room. Too old, a bald man stopped playing marksmanship and started playing war.
Zuo Zhong sighed, bent down and walked along the wall to Gui Youguang, patted his shoulder, and whispered: "How is it? Has the intelligence been released? Is there anything suspicious?"
Gui Youbald didn't reply, "It's being put in place."
Zuo Zhong didn't care about his reaction. He had the biggest mission in the world. He also took out his binoculars and looked over. He quickly found Min Ping's shadow. She was walking against the wall with a normal gait.
Through the telescope, it could even be seen that she was in a good mood, without a trace of nervousness. When she walked to a big tree, Min Ping squatted down and polished her leather shoes, and her right hand moved imperceptibly.
"Put it in."
Zuo Zhong muttered to himself, then immediately turned the telescope and looked at the Central Hospital in the northeast. If Tianfu was there, he must be observing nearby activities now.
But looking at the densely packed windows on the third and fourth floors of the hospital, he knew that it was unrealistic to rely on this method to find the person. The person might be in any window, and his location could not be determined at all.
Tianfu is not a young man. He will not forget reflection and counter-surveillance when observing. As long as he does not stick to the window and avoid the observation angle of the surrounding buildings, others will not be able to see his movements.
"Don't worry about Min Ping. Keep an eye on the dead mailbox. No matter how well Tianfu hides it, you still have to come here to get information." Zuo Zhong thought about it and whispered to Gui Youguang. He didn't believe that the other party could retrieve things from a distance.
"Swiss, swiss, swish."
There were faint footsteps beside the two of them, and it was Wu Chunyang who came. A curtain couldn't block the three of them, so he hid under the curtain next to him, put his hand around his mouth and whispered something in a low voice.
"Section Chief, I've seen it, everyone in the building is gone."
"Okay, continue to observe."
Zuo Zhong nodded first, and then asked Gui Youguang curiously: "What excuse are you using? The Construction Committee is not a small government office. They can give you this face without exposing their purpose."
Gui Youguang chuckled: "I told them that an assassin came here and told them to get off work early and let us conduct the search. Don't worry, it concerns the chairman of the committee. They will never dare to talk nonsense."
He really does.
Zuo Zhong rolled his eyes. Assassination cases are now dangerous goods. Whoever touches them will explode. No one dares to joke about it. This guy is the only one who dares to spread such rumors, but this is the only way to return to glory.
The three of them squatted in a row by the window and waited for half an hour.
Zuo Zhong's eyes were sore. People were coming and going near the dead mailbox, but no one bent down, and no one stopped by the big tree. Could it be that they were exposed and something went wrong.
He was sure that there was no problem with the arrangement of Min Ping's residence. All personnel were performing tasks indoors. It was impossible for Tianfu to find out that anyone was watching, unless Tianfu already knew that Min Ping had surrendered.
Zuo Zhong's face didn't look good.
But after thinking about it carefully, he ruled out this possibility. If Tianfu knew about Min Ping's surrender, he would have shot her to death just now. The surrender of a spy who has been lurking for many years would be too harmful.
According to the style of Japanese military intelligence officers, they would not let Min Ping see the sun the next day. Even when Min Ping went home yesterday or walked out of the National Government today, her life was lost.
So what trick is Tianfu playing? Intelligence is very time-sensitive and should be recovered as soon as possible. There is no reason to leave intelligence in dead mailboxes. Moreover, such dead mailboxes in downtown areas are not safe.
Pedestrians coming and going, monks cleaning, and urchins returning home may all discover the information in the tree hole. Is he so sure that no one will take the information away as waste paper?
Gui Youguang lowered his voice and said, "Section Chief, the hospital is off duty now. Do you want to arrange for someone to wait at the entrance of the hospital to take photos of people coming out? The lighting conditions are not ideal."
At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and the last rays of the setting sun shone into the conference room.
Zuo Zhong was suddenly stunned, and then cursed in a low voice: "MD, this bitch is waiting for the sun to go down. When the visual distance becomes lower, we will have no choice but to squat near the dead mailbox.
But once we do this, we become enemies. No wonder we set the launch time at 6 o'clock. He has calculated the sunset time of Jinling. This guy has a high cultural quality. "
The sunset in Jinling in summer is at 6:30. In other seasons, it gets dark earlier. To investigate the dead mailbox, you can only enter early. Spies can also observe nearby anomalies in the dark.
Tianfu found himself the most brilliant helper - nature. No matter how powerful the Intelligence Department and Zuo Zhong were, they could not defeat the power of nature. There was no night vision equipment in this era.
From this point of view, we know that Tianfu’s education level is not low. This era has not experienced the information explosion. If you want to know the sunset time, you must have professional information channels or books.
"Section Chief, what should I do?" Gui Youguang scratched his head after thinking about it.
Wu Chunyang volunteered: "How about I go and see it alone."
Zuo Zhong said resolutely: "Everyone is on standby. We would rather give up this opportunity than move. The other party must be observing. It is difficult to hide hasty actions from professional intelligence personnel.
This guy just wants to force the surveillance personnel out. Now that Min Ping is in our hands, the other party will always appear. If it doesn't work once, then twice, if it doesn't work twice, then three times. Let's see who has more patience. "
Zuo Zhong thought bitterly, but it was a pity that his mobile phone did not have night vision function, otherwise he would have to let Tianfu know what science and technology are first... From this point of view, there is also a way to locate the dead mailbox.
In addition to serving as a mailbox marker, the big tree can also block the moonlight. Tianfu is using every method to reduce the possibility of being observed, like a mouse hiding in the darkness, unable to see the light.
Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang looked at each other, and they could only do this. Just like what the section chief said, rash actions will be discovered, and close investigation will also lead to discovery. There is no other way but to wait.
"Continue surveillance."
After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he raised his telescope. While there was still the last glimmer of light, he set his sights on the buildings around Kunlu Temple to see if he could find traces of Tianfu through other means.
For example, the land surrounded by the Electric Light Factory, the Building Committee and the Central Hospital, all the way to the bank of the moat, is filled with all kinds of bungalows and filled with all kinds of people.
The small courtyard that combines Chinese and Western elements is the official residence of the officials of the Construction Committee; the shabby-looking dormitory is the dormitory of the electric light factory workers; the ordinary one is the temporary residence of low-level employees of the Department of Health.
These buildings are clearly differentiated, each with its own entrance and exit passages. The wide ones are paved with cement and can accommodate cars; the narrow ones are paved with charcoal residue. They are covered with gray on sunny days and mud on rainy days. They are very similar to the Republic of China.
If the building wasn't too low and couldn't see the other side of the river, it would be more likely that Tianfu would be hiding here. Now that I have nothing to do, I might as well look for other clues and at least get familiar with the roads.
kindness?
Zuo Zhong discovered an interesting middle-aged man. He was wearing a decent Chinese tunic suit, with a Fruit Party emblem pinned to his left chest, and holding a briefcase in his hand. He looked like a Fruit Party government official.
He walked on the charcoal road with great strides, jumping over puddles skillfully without any sign of discomfort. He didn't even care if his trousers were stained with mud. He must have walked this kind of road often.
The problem is that the cement road and the charcoal road are parallel. They are not far apart. No matter where you go, it is almost the same distance. If you don’t take the cement road and take the dirt road, how can the party have such down-to-earth cadres?
Not much, right?
Zuo Zhong became interested and continued to monitor the other person's movements, and then he discovered more. This person would stop at every intersection, either to straighten his clothes or pat his trouser legs.
The movements looked very natural, and the pauses were very short. Ordinary people would only think that this was a decent person, but as an intelligence officer, Zuo Zhong knew what the other party was doing.
This is standard anti-tracking.
What's even more surprising is that after he continued to monitor for a period of time, the other party seemed to have discovered his presence. He turned his head seemingly unintentionally and observed the building of the Construction Committee.
Could this person be Tianfu? Zuo Zhong slowly withdrew his gaze and wanted to inform Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang who were beside him to pay attention, but the other party's subsequent actions made him give up this idea.
I saw this person standing in front of an official residence of the Construction Committee, knocking on the door rhythmically. Soon the door opened, and then the other person ducked in. Will Tianfu meet other members?
Not too possible.
As for who the other party was, Zuo Zhong calmly wrote down the location of the official residence and decided to investigate secretly. If it was a spy, he would kill it. If it was someone else, then he would make plans later.
