About a week later, Tiantang Pharmacy on Chengxian Street.
Xiao Lu, who has been working as a boy here for more than half a month, is a bit moldy. Fortunately, his temperament has changed a lot since joining Deputy Team Leader Ma. He would have lost his hair before.
The three shopkeepers did not know his special identity. They only knew that he was a relative of the police chief. It seemed that the police department had not said anything about selling counterfeit medicine, so they did not alienate him too much. In addition, the two young men were both They are young people, and they get along well with each other.
But dealing with angelica, astragalus... these traditional Chinese medicines every day is not the daily life of an agent.
Yesterday there was news that Boss Zhong (Tamaba Hideki)'s superiors would deliver information to the dead mailbox, so today we have to pay close attention to it.
In order to avoid exposure, a wide-angle mirror was installed next to the door leading from the front hall of the drug store to the backyard. It doesn't need to be very clear, as long as you can see people's figures.
Just when he was bored, a figure flashed in the wide-angle mirror, followed by a few soft noises, and someone entered the small utility room from the side door.
Following Chief Ma's instructions in advance, he dialed the phone and asked the other party to ring three times before hanging up. He dialed again and waited for two rings before hanging up... The rest was not his task. The order he received was Use this method to report when you see someone entering.
Lao Li, who had been squatting nearby for a long time, received the call immediately and waited at the entrance of the alley for the person collecting information to appear. About ten minutes later, a thin figure appeared from the back alley, wearing a gray gown and a head on his head. Wearing a top hat, you can't see clearly.
The man in a long gown walked at a leisurely pace, minding his own business, looking at the groceries at the street stalls, and buying a newspaper at the newsstand. All in all, he looked carefree.
According to the previous plan, Lao Li could not follow him for too long. After walking for a while, Lao Liu took over. Perhaps Lao Liu was unlucky. Just after walking a few steps, the man in long gown hailed a rickshaw and it flew away. Look, As he watched the rickshaw go away, Lao Liu felt frustrated for a while.
At this moment, a car suddenly stopped next to him. A person in the car whistled and said, "Come up!" When he saw it, he turned out to be a fat man.
Old Liu couldn't help but admire Chief Ma's meticulous arrangements. Although this fat man had good skills, his appearance was too outstanding. If he was followed on foot, it would be easy to identify him, but he would be inconspicuous when driving. The fat man also put on a beard and sunglasses. He looks like a tough gangster. No one would dare to say anything even if he was watching people. If he saw through it, he would probably say he was intending to rob.
After all, the speed and endurance of the rickshaws in front are not as good as those of cars. Cars can still keep up with the rickshaws even when they stop and go.
At Xinjiekou, the man in a long shirt turned into a clothing store. Fatty and Old Liu were preparing to keep a close eye on each other, with Old Liu in front and Fatty at the back door.
It's a pity that I waited for a long time...
Lao Liu was walking around anxiously in front, but he saw the fat man coming from the back alley and said, "Lao Liu, there's no need to follow him, he's gone!"
"Why do you think he ran away?" Lao Liu was a little unconvinced.
The fat man was holding a gown and a hat in his hand and looked unhappy. He said, "Old Liu, we are all brothers. I'm not here to laugh at you. I just think this spy is too cunning... But a monk who can run away can't run away from the temple. Let's go in and take a look..."
Hearing what Fatty said, Old Liu felt a little embarrassed and had no words to apologize. Fatty didn't take it seriously and pulled Old Liu into the clothing store.
What was shown was the ID of the police department. The reason was that someone reported that something was lost in the store. Fatty and Old Liu took the clothing store registration book and looked at it item by item.
"This person should be about five feet (1.65 meters) tall, on the thin side...about 100 pounds. Let's take a look at the clothes picked up by the clothing store in this register today. Which clothes match this height and body shape?" The fat man said while looking at the register.
"Let me see...that's not right. Four pieces of men's clothing were taken away. They are either taller or fatter than this..." Old Liu was also checking the register together.
"That's a woman!" the fat man said firmly.
Turning to the women's clothing section, by coincidence, there was only one person who met the requirements. In this era, women were generally not very tall due to various reasons. Although the height of five feet (1.65 meters) was not very high, it was It's also very outstanding. Considering the body shape, it's not difficult to judge.
The owner, tailor and clerk of the clothing store naturally had excellent eyesight and memory, and they immediately described the height and figure of the female customer.
Seeing this, Lao Liu immediately asked the waiter: "Aren't you surprised that she is a woman wearing men's clothes?"
"Sir, I was surprised at the time. I asked her about it, and she said she was helping the drama club to shoot a civilized scene. She was too pressed for time and didn't have time to change clothes, so I didn't ask any more questions..." said a waiter.
"Is this customer a familiar customer or a stranger?" the fat man asked.
"I'm not familiar with it. This customer has been here twice, but he didn't leave his phone number or address. Each time, he made an appointment to pick it up himself." The tailor replied.
The name recorded in the register is: He Bilan.
Ma Xiaoguang looked at the transcribed registration information and affirmed the brothers' work without any intention of blaming or reprimanding. This made Lao Liu even more embarrassed.
"The most important thing in tracking is not to expose yourself, otherwise it will be meaningless. It is better to lose than to follow..." Ma Xiaoguang affirmed the brothers' approach.
"And this woman has been locked in today. Even if she leaves a fake name or a pseudonym, it doesn't matter. She will leave traces wherever she goes." Deputy Team Leader Ma said with certainty in a famous sentence.
At this time, Boss Zhong and Lao Li came over together, holding a wooden box in their hands, and inside the wooden box was a box of French currency.
Boss Zhong took the initiative and said: "This is a special fund for recent operations. In order to prevent the remittance from leaving clues, we used cash. These funds are used to purchase intelligence and inquire about information... In addition, when the specified time comes, no matter what I have All intelligence or news must be put in this box and returned to the dead mailbox."
The Japanese spy was indeed very cautious, and did not even need to remit money. Instead, he adopted this time-consuming and laborious method to avoid exposure to the greatest extent. This communication box was a way of placing intelligence and a safe token.
It seems that the spy's top line is continuing to follow up on General Jiang's whereabouts. The line of Boss Zhong and "He Bilan" should be responsible for intelligence, and there should be someone else for operations. This way, even if they are exposed, other people can be guaranteed. safety.
"How do you plan to get the general's whereabouts?" Ma Xiaoguang asked directly.
"This is not difficult. Although we don't know where the general is now, news has spread that the general will go to Europe for inspection in the near future. Now he goes to Europe by cruise ship..." Boss Zhong didn't dare to play tricks in front of Commander Ma, so he said it directly plan.
By analyzing the information of the general and his entourage, combined with the recent cruises to Europe, and spending some money to obtain the passenger list from the shipping company, it is easy to locate the general's accurate travel date.
"While confirming the date, my task is to investigate the general's itinerary in Jinling. This does not require special spying. Just start with peripheral information... such as the general's students, relatives, subordinates, old friends... when the general will go to Europe. It’s definitely not short, there will definitely be a parting ceremony or a farewell, and relevant dignitaries from the government will also pay a visit. The general’s whereabouts will be kept secret. The situation of these people may not be kept secret, and I guess there should be more than just my line of investigation." Zhong Yuting continued.
After listening to Zhong Yuting's story, Ma Xiaoguang cursed in his heart. These devils are really cunning. This kind of peripheral investigation method not only prevents us from catching evidence, but also makes it impossible to keep it secret. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is really a bit confusing. Unless their leader is captured, there is no way to uncover the opponent's plan.
It seems that in order to seize this line, we must find this "He Bilan" again as soon as possible.
After seeing Boss Zhong off, the brothers continued to seize the time to analyze the situation.
"This He Bilan is a customer of a clothing store. Let the tailor and the waiter dictate it. Find a master who can draw and draw a portrait of her. Fatty, you have good eyesight. You can do this," Ma Xiaoguang said.
"With the portrait, there's no need to worry. The dead mailbox hasn't been exposed yet," Ma Xiaoguang said calmly.
"Then let's do this..."
Boss Zhong returned to the watch shop. According to the orders of his spy superiors, he must find out General Chiang's travel time and route as soon as possible. Although he knew that more than his own line was doing this work, out of professional instinct and generous bonuses, he He has to keep doing it. The Secret Service didn't let him fool him with false information. They told him to do whatever he wanted and gave him the same reward. If he has a good relationship, he can just operate according to normal conditions.
He used to collect intelligence. The government mainly carried out military cooperation with Germany in Europe. Now the most direct way to go to Germany is to take a passenger ship from the German Steamship Company from Qindao. The number of intercontinental passenger ships is very few and it is very easy to lock in. Before the end of the month Only the German Hanmei Steamship Company has a passenger ship from Qindao to Germany, and the passenger list is easy to find. The Japanese are very powerful in Qindao, and they can get the passenger list by any means.
From Jinling to Qindao, you need to take the Jinpu Line by train and then transfer to the Jiaoji Line. Although you can also take a boat, the timeliness and comfort are not the same.
It didn't take much time for Boss Zhong to figure out a rough travel route map. Now it was time to refine the timetable from Jinling Pukou Railway Station to the general's residence. The key to the problem was to find out the general's residence.
I locked the travel mode and date, got the list of people, and started with the peripheral people as mentioned before. The general travel route map has been worked out. More details, there is no legal currency, and it is estimated that it will not be used up.
He listed the old friends, former subordinates, students... of the generals in Jinling that he had collected earlier, and screened them one by one.
It didn't take long for him to lock in one person - Liu Zhi. This man would be very famous in later generations and was known as the "Pig Head General".
Boss Zhong had no social relations with this high-ranking official, so he had no choice but to follow his wild ways. After General Liu rose to prominence as one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the party-state, people around him who were close friends, old and familiar flew towards him like green-headed flies, and he came again. Don't refuse, the house is full of guests every day.
The news shows that General Liu has a relative in an outer room who happens to be acquainted with Boss Zhong, but it is a person we are familiar with - the "King Section Chief" of the Central Party Headquarters.
Seeing the name of Chief Wang, Boss Zhong smiled happily. It seems that this world is really small, and you can always find favors through twists and turns. With this kind of relationship, you can save a lot of time and money.
Without further hesitation, he dialed the number of Chief Wang's office.
