The story begins seven days ago, when three party-state elites quietly moved into Yue Yue's house and sat in the living room of the rental house to rest and talk.
"Boss, what's the next step?" Fatty asked, sitting opposite Boss Ma.
"Next step, ask Shopkeeper Luo to find one or two more reliable acquaintances and rent them next door as neighbors..." Boss Ma ordered.
"What? Are you going to stay here forever and date the little widow? Then Shanghai City..." the fat man joked.
"You guys, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Lu is a good boy, don't let you lead me astray." Boss Ma laughed and scolded.
"The affairs of this little Japanese widow are very strange. Although her knowledge is true, her identity should not be false... However, any big noble is as worthless as our former Qing Dynasty princess, not to mention the big shot of Japan's Tachibana family. They were all from a thousand years ago. Now, they have long since declined. They treat us like sticks." Boss Ma cursed after taking a sip of tea.
"Yeah, look at this kidnapping case, it's weird. Damn it, the Japanese are actually faster than the police." The fat man also spat at the side.
"Oh, this place turns out to be so complicated." Xiao Lu couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, the most important thing for Fatty tomorrow is to find Boss Luo's senior brother." Boss Ma ordered.
"Yes, boss." The fat man readily agreed without making any excuses.
"No, from now on you are the eldest brother and I am the brother..." Boss Ma suddenly said with a playful smile.
The next day, Fatty became the eldest brother Ma Jingbo, and Xiao Lu became the follower.
Fatty's investigation also confirmed Boss Ma's guess. Fatty confirmed through Shopkeeper Luo, the police station and the local Hongmen brothers that the robbers were from a local secret society - Feixianmen. This society is very mysterious, but it never harms the people. There is no so-called robbing the rich to give to the poor. He is very low-key, but he has always been an enemy of the Japanese. He planned to assassinate the Japanese consul Matsumura several times.
Kurao Matsumura was able to serve as the Japanese consul in Hangzhou, and he was not a pig. He just took advantage of the visit of Mr. Tachibana and Mr. Ma to lure the snake out of its hole and kill Feixianmen in one fell swoop, and also destroyed one of their strongholds.
I originally planned to find a dark and windy night like I did when I visited Inoue Mansion and Jiangjun Mountain Villa at night. Boss Ma would be a night owl again and directly sneak into the consulate to steal information. However, after thinking about it, I always felt that something was wrong. Boss Ma was still hesitant. .
Facts have proved that Boss Ma's caution this time was not wrong.
The second time I went to the consulate, everything went smoothly. Matsumura's forced purchase of ancient paintings was just an accident. He just gave everyone such an opportunity in advance. If he hadn't allowed them to see the paintings, the three agents would have found an opportunity to get in.
Boss Ma of the Japanese Consulate did not come in for nothing. He just happened to use his pocket watch mini camera to secretly take photos of all the places in the consulate that could be photographed.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Ju, the train left Hangzhou and arrived at a small station. Boss Ma quietly got off the train and returned to Hangzhou.
Sneaking back to the rental house at night, Xiao Lu had already developed the photos. Fatty also found Boss Luo's senior brother Sun You, who was known as the "Shadowless Ghost Hand" in the world mainly because of his kung fu skills. Yes, and proficient in agency news.
Professional things need to be done by professional people, which has always been Boss Ma's tenet. When the ghost-hand brother saw the photo, he immediately pointed out the problem in the study to Boss Ma - this is a caged secret room, that is, People who don't understand the situation will trigger the mechanism at any time after entering, and they will be trapped inside every minute, and no one will listen to them even if they scream at the top of their lungs.
Hearing Brother Guishou's words, Boss Ma raised his forehead with his hands and was thankful for his caution. If he really sneaked in, he might not be able to get any false information, and he would be locked up and played like a monkey.
"Ma Dan, the Japanese are so bad! Sooner or later, I will kill this old bastard Matsumura and his whole family..." Boss Ma got furious after hearing Brother Guishou's explanation and started to curse.
Xiao Lu stayed by his side to persuade him for a while before he stabilized Chief Ma who was about to run away.
"Sir, you are wise, martial, and knowledgeable. You must know the old saying that yin is within yang, not opposite to yang..." Brother Guishou said proudly, twirling a few rat whiskers and shaking his head.
"Don't drag the text and talk like a human being!" The fat man next to him couldn't help it anymore and ordered fiercely.
As the saying goes, one thing conquers another, and just like Shopkeeper Luo, this Brother Guishou seems to have some psychological shadow on Fatty, and I don't know what means he used to conquer these monsters.
Hearing the fat man's loud shout, Brother Guishou said directly and humbly: "Two sirs, please take a closer look at what's wrong with this study."
After hearing this, Boss Ma and Fatty picked up the photo and looked at it carefully for a while. They looked at each other and nodded.
"There should be two study rooms here... Damn, if the average person who knows the mechanism sees this cage secret room, he will definitely not go in again. He will never think that the real study room is next door!" Chief Ma sneered.
"What a cunning devil... not only a caged secret room, but also a double secret room." The fat man also sighed.
"What's going on?" Xiao Lu was left standing aside, still a little confused.
"Most of the Japanese-style doors are sliding shoji doors, or each of their walls is a sliding door. Am I right? Brother Sun." Boss Ma winked at Brother Guishou and said.
"Yes, judging from the photos, the study room shouldn't be that small. There is only one possibility. There is an identical study room next door. This one is a caged secret room, and the other one should be the real study room." Brother Guishou did not lie. , gave the answer directly.
"People who don't understand or are unfamiliar with it think they are entering this study room, but it turns out it is another one. And the owner can control which room he enters through the door mechanism..." Fatty also sighed at the side.
"Yes, if we sneak in quietly, even if we can open the door lock, we will easily get caught and be trapped in this cage secret room." Boss Ma said through gritted teeth.
"What should we do?" Fatty asked several spectators involuntarily.
"What should I do? I'll just do it casually this time. Next time, I'll let the little widow know what it's like to be locked in and scream at her throat without anyone paying attention to her!" Boss Ma said with a ferocious look on his face.
The next day, Fatty, Shopkeeper Luo, and Brother Guishou started customizing tools for Boss Ma. They were busy until it was time to light the lamp in the evening when everything was ready.
Early the next morning, Fatty and Xiao Lu, disguised as Ma Jingbo, went to the consulate to talk to Songcun about the IOU.
Boss Ma lurked into the consulate before dawn, went up to the second floor, carefully observed the surroundings, and found that there was no danger, and began to explore the situation outside the study.
You don’t know it by looking at it, but you are shocked when you see it. When Songcun customized the study room, he should have considered it. The six sides of the entire two study rooms are made of steel bars as the skeleton. Boss Ma was not even given a chance. He wanted to be like That time at the Inoue Mansion, it was impossible to enter through the ventilation window.
Moreover, even the inside of the door is made of pure steel frame, and the outside is just a layer of wood. No wonder this sliding shoji door is so heavy.
Fortunately, the study room is not too large and can be made of fine steel. However, the entire consulate is not a bunker. The Japanese are not that rich and cannot use all fine steel. Boss Ma immediately placed a shoji door on the shoji door of the study room, which is the row of rows in the ceiling of the corridor. Lurking in the air passage.
After Fatty and Xiao Lu arrived at the consulate, Matsumura, who was greedy and over-cautious, first reacted by going to the cage secret room and taking the painting to the real study.
The real opportunity is at this moment. The magnetic steel sheet carefully made by Brother Guishou according to Boss Ma's requirements comes into play - first use fine steel to make an extremely slender sheet, and then magnetize it, just in time to take advantage of the opening of Songcun. Pop into the door slot.
Since the shoji doors here are actually made of steel, the magnetic steel pieces stick to them easily.
After Matsumura left, Ma Xiaoguang took out the door-opening tool he had on him and used it with the magnetic steel sheet to easily open the door to the real study.
As soon as the study door opened, Ma Xiaoguang did not do whatever he wanted after entering. Matsumura is an old fox. Veteran agents have unique secrets about their private parts, whether it is a thread, a hair, or other inconspicuous objects around them. Ma The boss carefully took some pictures with his body camera, but he didn't dare to touch more. As for the antiques and banknotes in the room, Boss Ma didn't touch any of them. He had no choice, who called this operation? The main purpose is to steal information, and having extraneous matters is just seeking death.
As the fat man was bargaining with Matsumura, Boss Ma had a lot of time. He took three rolls of film, including the furnishings in the study, the placement of books in the bookcase, the placement of the desk, and the objects on the desk that could be moved. Taking photos carefully, there is definitely not enough time to analyze them one by one on site, so I can only do detailed research after returning home.
As for the safe, Boss Ma is not MISS Liu, so he has no way to open it for the time being, so he can only focus on the present.
After everything was settled, Boss Ma quietly left Songcun's study with some regrets.
Boss Ma, Fatty and Xiao Lu were sitting at home in Siming Village, still reviewing the details of the operation with great interest, when they heard the door lock ringing, and it was MISS Liu who had not seen them for many days, who had returned.
MISS Liu, who had not seen her for a long time, had a smile as bright as a flower. When she saw Boss Ma...and Fatty and the others, she was as happy as a little girl. She couldn't help but put down her small bag and put on an apron, preparing to cook by herself and prepare meals for Boss Ma and his brothers. .
This frightened the three brothers to death. After a while of persuasion, they said that Miss Liu had been too worried about the affairs of the foreign bank recently and should not overwork herself. In addition, it was inappropriate for her to do it herself. Fortunately, Boss Ma did not If you're short of money, just call a nearby restaurant to get a table delivered to you.
Under the persuasion of the brothers, MISS Liu took off her apron with some regret and quickly made Boss Ma another cup of coffee - it sure tasted good.
The other two said they liked tea and would not compete with Boss Ma for coffee.
After the meal, the brothers went to rest first, while Boss Ma went into the darkroom to develop and print the photos himself. After a long time of busy work, he came to the study with a stack of photos.
Miss Liu had already ground the coffee, and Hardman had prepared it for Boss Ma. Boss Ma was a little embarrassed when he saw this situation, and even complained about the hard work, which made Miss Liu's cheeks slightly red.
Of course, the most important thing for everyone is work. The two of them sat down with magnifying glasses and carefully looked at the photos of Boss Ma one by one.
Boss Ma's photography skills used to be pretty good before, and he was specially trained by Smiling Tiger for two months. In addition, he is not short of money now, and MISS Liu bought the best equipment, and the photos are of very high definition, providing the two of them with the best equipment. I found a lot of clues, and after some sorting, I found out.
"This consulate turned out to be a spy base." Boss Ma sighed as he put down the photo in his hand and took a sip of coffee.
"Fortunately, you were cautious this time, otherwise it would be hard to predict the outcome." MISS Liu sighed and said.
"We can't encounter idiots like Inoue Hiaki and Xu Guanjiu every time. The next opponents will be more cunning than the last. You see, this is just a stronghold of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's so troublesome." Ma Xiaoguang sighed, He lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. MISS Liu next to him was still working with his head down and concentrating on his work.
"Take a look to see if there is something wrong with the poem in this photo." MISS Liu frowned and handed Boss Ma a photo.
What I saw on the photo was a short piece of paper the size of an envelope, which was written in Japanese: "Persimmon を食べていたらふいに Bell がなりだしました, Horyuji Temple Bell です."
"Isn't this a Japanese haiku? It was written by Masaoka Shiki, and translated into Chinese it means, Tasting new persimmons in a deserted store, the coolness of the autumn wind spreads, and the bells ring at Horyu Temple." Ma Xiaoguang frowned and said, feeling a little grateful to the smiling tiger in his heart - if it weren't for Even with his hellish training, he would not know the origin of this haiku.
"Horyuji Temple...According to this meaning, shouldn't Horyuji Temple be in Nara, Japan?" MISS Liu asked. As an espionage officer, the culture and geography of enemy countries are required courses.
"Haha, these little Japanese always like to make such twists and turns. In fact, our Chinese Horyu Temple is the authentic one, located in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province..." Chief Ma finally had a chance to show off in front of the beautiful woman. The reason is very simple. Time travel He had been there on business before so he knew.
"Is there a situation in Jinhua? Are we going there immediately?" MISS Liu couldn't help but ask - Chief Ma still has to make a decision on big things, not to mention that Chief Ma has inadvertently shown off his knowledge of history and geography.
"No, we will stay in Shanghai, have fun for a few days, visit department stores... maybe we will have to go back to Hangzhou in a few days..." Ma Xiaoguang said with a mysterious smile.
