"So fast?" Liu Zhaomin looked at Ning Zhongping in surprise.
"The method is cruel, isn't it?" Master Senpo (Ma Xiaoguang) asked with a smile.
When Ning Zhongping heard this, his expression froze, and then he showed a frightened smile.
"Lao Ning, tell Lao Liu, let's just listen to it as a story..."
"This fat man, he treated these two things as two plates of food and served them well. I've seen people sprinkle salt on the knife edges, but I've never seen people sprinkle chili powder on them..."
As Ning Zhongping spoke, he looked a little unbelievable. It seemed that the techniques he learned in the police academy were just childish.
"Hey, Fatty and I are both wild people. We are no better educated than you. We have to rely on professionals like you to handle the case properly. This time it is an emergency and we are just following the emergency..." Master Senpo said as he handed it over. Two Hardmen.
Liu Zhaomin took the cigarette and smiled sincerely. This officer was different from the officers he had seen before.
Although he is dignified, he does not have much airs. Although he likes to show off, his heart is not bad.
This person can handle it!
After talking for a while, the fat man came back unhurriedly. As soon as he entered the door, he handed Master Senpo a few manuscripts - letters of repentance and allegiance from the two Japanese spies.
"The boss's name is Kosaka Masao, the chef's name is Pu Jiannan, and he's a good guy... The fat guy is very nimble! Not bad!" Master Moripo praised the fat guy while looking at the materials.
"These two guys are so idle in this shitty place. They are a liaison station. They are responsible for monitoring the outside of the arsenal. They are also responsible for contacting the spies who will come in the future. They communicate with the spies inside through dead mailboxes. They have never seen anyone. ..." the fat man said.
“Where is the dead mailbox?”
"In the town market, in a hole in a broken wall not far from the toilet."
"I know that place. Everyone goes to the market often. Anyone can go there. I'm afraid it won't be easy to check."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaomin quickly informed everyone about the market situation, while frowning out of habit.
"How did they send the information?" Liu Zhaomin was still a little curious.
"They dare not use the radio, and there is no timely information at the arsenal. They use secret messages or go directly to the telegraph office..." Fatty continued.
"What will happen to these two people next?" Liu Zhaomin looked at Master Senpo with some anticipation.
"Old Liu, do you have an idea? Are you afraid that I will kill these two guys or take them away?" Master Senpo asked with a smile.
Liu Zhaomin smiled sheepishly and said, "My humble suggestion is to maintain the status quo..."
"Old Liu, these two are lurking spies."
Ning Zhongping was always afraid that Liu Zhaomin would be stubborn and talk nonsense. This dear man had good professional qualities and professionalism, but he didn't know the twists and turns of officialdom. That's why he was brought to the arsenal for inspection.
"I agree with Lao Liu's idea. It's useless to catch him. He's just a contact point. The bounty can be dozens of dollars at most. It's more useful if they keep it."
"Let them maintain the status quo, but don't take it lightly and monitor secretly. Old Liu must take action before all the information is sent..." Master Senpo said to Old Liu.
After talking about the next arrangements for a while, it was already late. Liu Zhaomin stood up and left, agreeing to investigate three suspected targets the next day.
In the morning, the four of them met at a breakfast shop in the town.
Breakfast in Yu Province is spicy soup with fried dough sticks. As for whether eating fried dough sticks will degrade your intelligence, that is a question that experts are concerned about.
At least Fatty and Master Senpo didn't care at all.
After breakfast, the four of them found a secluded place on the edge of the town and began to discuss the three suspected targets.
"From the activities of the three of them and the owner of the restaurant, it is Masao Kosaka - his name is Xiong Zhengfan now. According to Xiong Zhengfan, the three of them have all been to the restaurant to eat, and there is nothing surprising about the dishes they ordered..."
Liu Zhaomin introduced to everyone the situation he went to learn about early in the morning.
"According to Lao Liu's surveillance records, the three of them have also been to the market. This is not surprising... As for the toilet, hahaha."
At the end, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
"This devil doesn't think the information is interesting?" the fat man said jokingly.
"Then what's the difference between these three people?" Master Senpo asked Liu Zhaomin.
"Among these three people, Tian Yuhua and Cheng Zhiwei came to the arsenal before me. Pu Liang came to the arsenal two years ago. After I came..." Liu Zhaomin introduced.
"Is there anything wrong with their resumes?" Ning Zhongping asked with some confusion.
"No." Liu Zhaomin replied affirmatively.
"Their abnormalities are several points. First, their consumption is higher than their wages. Second, they live alone and few people come to visit. Third, their activity times are often abnormal. Fourth, their activity trajectories are unusual..."
Liu Zhaomin turned around and introduced the unusual features of the three target suspects.
"Very good, the training class should also let the newcomers be more detailed."
Master Senpo gave a thumbs up and drew inferences about other team members.
"High consumption can be combined with background checks, such as family conditions, and whether you have taken on private work. In addition, you can check the status of visits..."
"Abnormal activity time can be combined with other information to check whether there are any special events during this period. For example, I am talking about neighbors quarreling, a house on fire, etc..."
"The activities will be tracked by mobilizing your brothers to visit and investigate, but pay attention to the external investigation. It is best for you, Old Liu, to break down the tasks to them, so that it is not easy to reveal the truth."
After listening to Master Senpo's suggestion, Liu Zhaomin nodded, took out his notebook, and began to draw.
"This investigation is different from the past. We can't contact the suspect. We can only attack the cow from across the mountain. If there is no other way, we must focus on the overall situation."
Young Master Senpo said this to Fatty and Ning Zhongping, but Liu Zhaomin beside him kept nodding.
After getting down to business, Liu Zhaomin said goodbye and went back to the factory to mobilize his staff and start an investigation.
Master Senpo, Fatty, and Ning Zhongping started driving around in Xiaoyi Town and Gong County in a nine-hand Renault.
"Fat man, Zhongping, take out the map and mark it one by one..." Master Senpo, who was driving, ordered Ning Zhongping.
"Ma Dan, what the hell is this map of the national army?" Fatty complained while recording.
"Oh, there are some things we can do. Try to make it as detailed as possible. Forks in the road and key locations. Things that are not on the map are all marked in detail. Damn, I have to compile a book when I get back..."
The thought of having to write vertical traditional Chinese characters again made Master Senpo feel a little uncomfortable - there are so many benefits to simplifying Chinese characters!
The three people walked and stopped all the way, stopped and watched all the way, watched and took notes all the way, doing their work meticulously...
There is no way, this is China in the 1930s, and the special operations team has very limited manpower. It can only be said to be a remedy, which is better than nothing.
Now that we are back in Henan Province, we have to do something besides finding Japanese spies. The subsequent war process proved how important these detailed first-hand survey data are. .
The most famous and typical example is the advertising painting of Rendanhu that people often saw during the Anti-Japanese War. This was the guidepost given to the Army by the Japanese intelligence agents!
Master Senpo has two purposes for doing this. One is to make up for the situation and do his best to do some useful work for the Anti-Japanese War.
Another natural step is to prepare to take these materials, carefully package them, give them a good facelift, and give them a surprise to the colleagues at the "Cultural Research Institute."
After a day of bumpy driving on the broken Reno, the three of them returned to the guest house in the evening.
Liu Zhaomin and the three others are also on the front and back. Like Ning Zhongping, he is also very punctual.
Liu Zhaomin was carrying a big cloth bag filled with investigation records. Looking at the pile of manuscripts, Master Senpo began to miss MISS Liu.
"It would be great if MISS Liu was here!" The fat man immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Don't think about it. Miss Liu is in Jinling. Don't make her sneeze."
Young Master Senpo bravely picked up a stack of records, drew a form on a piece of white paper and said.
"Okay, let's start work. Draw a form according to this format and fill in the investigation of abnormal activities of three people. Me, Lao Liu, and Zhongping will each have one share. Fatty will go get food..."
Hearing this, the fat man felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He praised the superior for his wisdom and ran away in a hurry.
When the fat man came back, the three of them had just started. They filled in different data in the corresponding positions of the form, and then screened them one by one according to the investigation situation.
After Fatty came back, he consciously took on the logistics work. Everyone had to buy simple meals - a few sesame seed cakes and some cooked food.
The three of them continued to compare and check the data one by one while resting their bellies.
The fat man was helping to record and pour tea and water. He did not argue with Master Senpo, nor did he interrupt. He was just busy making moves.
It was almost twelve o'clock at night. Looking at the form compiled in his hand, Master Senpo let out a long sigh of relief.
"From the data point of view, the suspicions of Pu Liang and Tian Yuhua can be ruled out. Although their consumption is high, they all make it right."
"Pu Liang is single, but his family is well off. He receives remittances from time to time. The reason for his abnormal behavior is that he has a sweetheart in the town. That sweetheart is local, so it can basically be ruled out..."
"Tian Yuhua has a family and a house, and he takes private work outside, so he goes to the county town from time to time. He studies mechanics. This job is very popular and makes a lot of money. The factory is no problem..."
"Right now, we see that there is something wrong with Cheng Zhiwei. He is a man in his thirties who has neither a wife nor a lover... Of course there are people like this. The key point is that even his family has never come to see him. He is not a top-secret person. So what?"
Master Senpo said to the red circled part of the form on the wall.
Everyone looked at the annotations above, the corresponding situation descriptions, and the relevant investigation data carefully, and nodded.
"Master, do you want to take action?" Ning Zhongping couldn't help but speak.
"Haha, do you think live fish tastes better, or dead fish?"
Master Senpo asked with a smile as he dismissed Hadmen.
