After all, it was his own bed, and he slept comfortably. Fang Lang didn't get out of bed until three o'clock in the morning. This may also be due to the fact that he had not slept well on the boat.
After Fang Lang finished washing up, he went downstairs for breakfast and found that only his mother, Yang Xiuer, was left at home. Everyone else was no longer at home. Even his grandfather was not at home, and he didn't know what he was busy with. Fang Lang didn't care. After preparing to have a leisurely breakfast, I went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to the United States and Italy to inquire about the company's current situation.
According to Fang Lang's estimation, Italy should have received the second or even third batch of cigarettes from the United States. I don’t know what my current income situation is.
While Fang Lang was still enjoying the business situation on the other side of the ocean, Captain Blackwell and Director Hodges came to visit. This was agreed yesterday, so Fang Lang got up to greet him without any surprise.
After Captain Blackwell's introduction, Fang Lang and Director Hodges gave each other a warm hug and invited each other to sit down at home.
"Fang, there is one thing I have to tell you. Last night we took action against the Black Dragon Association in the Japanese community!" Captain Blackwell said solemnly.
Fang Lang was shocked, what's going on, the Black Dragon Club, is it the Black Dragon Club I know? He said calmly: "Oh! Thank you! Brother, you are so interesting. I don't know how to thank you."
"It's nothing. I followed Colonel Teach's order, but we discovered some other situations!" Captain Blackwell's eyes shone with excitement.
"Other situations?" Fang Lang thought, it couldn't really be such a coincidence! It would be interesting if the Black Dragon Society in Brazil also engaged in espionage activities like those in the motherland. But even if Fang Lang has thoughts in his heart, he can't say them out, what if it's not about this! Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to say it?
"Yes, let Director Hodges explain this to you! He is the person involved." Captain Blackwell said, pointing to Director Hodges.
"Lieutenant Fang, although this is our first meeting, you gave me a big gift this time. I must thank you!" Director Hodges laughed.
"Oh! Director Hodges, I haven't given you any gifts! Even if you receive something, it must be a treasure you discovered yourself, right?" It was obvious from the tone of the two men that it must be a treasure. A good thing, but Fang Lang doesn't want to take any credit from the two of them, so it's better to keep a low profile now.
Hodges and Blackwell looked at each other and smiled. Director Hodges laughed and said: "Okay! Even if I find it myself, I will definitely have a gift to give you when the time comes. Haha..."
Captain Blackwell also spoke on the side: "The party may not care about such a small thing, so Mr. Director, please stop trying to keep it secret and say it quickly to make the party happy."
"Haha... When we raided the Black Dragon Club last night, we accidentally discovered that the Black Dragon Club is actually a spy organization. Unfortunately, they bribed people from our police station, so we couldn't catch them all, and two of their leaders escaped. .”
When Fang Lang heard this, he realized that it was indeed the case. It seemed that this Black Dragon Society was a gangster on the surface and a spy for the Japanese government secretly! Fang Lang was not surprised that the Japanese could bribe people in the police station. This kind of infiltration would be seen in later TV and movies.
"Why are these Japanese spies? Damn it, have you found the two Japanese who escaped?" Fang Lang said pretending to be surprised.
"Fang, don't worry! These two Japanese can't escape. Now the Sao Paulo city government has offered a reward of 5,000 US dollars to these two Japanese spies. Photos of the two are everywhere on the street. Believe me, they can't escape. "." Director Hodges seemed very confident. He believed in the charm of money. No one could run away when people all over St. Paul were looking for them.
Fang Lang felt that Director Hodges obviously underestimated the difference between professional spies and ordinary citizens. Fang Lang was almost certain that Director Hodges would not catch these two Japanese spies so easily. But I definitely can't say that. It seems that I have to remind my compatriots that there are only so many Asians in Sao Paulo. The Japanese are definitely being focused on now. Who knows, these two Japanese will disguise themselves as Chinese and hide in the Chinese. Come in the middle.
"Then I would like to congratulate Director Hodges in advance for catching these two fish that slipped through the net as soon as possible." He said and gave a hand salute. The two of them were stunned when they looked at Fang Lang's actions, not quite understanding what he meant, but Director Hodges still understood Fang Lang's words.
"Haha... these are all trivial matters. What troubles me now is that Mr. Mayor asked me to find the person who tipped off the Japanese within two days. These damn spies are really abominable. We have no counter-espionage experience at all. , I don’t know where to start at all.”
Director Hodges looked confident at first, but when he talked about his internal spies, he looked troubled. Apparently clueless about catching the spy hiding among his own people.
Fang Lang thought to himself, doesn't Brazil have its own intelligence agency? Why does this kind of thing require your police station to investigate itself? However, when Fang Lang thought about the unknown Brazilian Intelligence Agency in later generations, he felt confident. It is estimated that the current Brazilian Intelligence Agency may not even be established! Even if it were established, it would probably be no different than the police. It’s simply hard to describe.
Think about the spy TV shows, movies, and novels that you have watched. See if you can help Director Hodges in front of you. If you can, you may gain a close friend.
"We Chinese have an old saying, which is that three stooges can rival Zhuge Liang? Why don't you tell us about the situation at that time, and Captain Blackwell and I will help you think of a solution!"
"Stooges? Zhuge Liang? What is this?" Both of them have black question mark faces.
"You don't have to worry about this. It's too troublesome to introduce it. Just talk about the situation at that time and we will help you think about it together." Fang Lang also had a dark look on his face. What Chinese proverbs did I say to two foreigners?
Hodges did not hide anything and gave a detailed explanation of the scene at the time! Fang Lang and Captain Blackwell began to think after listening quietly.
"You mean, when you arrived at the scene, the enemy didn't notice it. It was within 5 minutes of setting up the mission that the lights in the enemy's room were turned on one by one, right?" Fang Lang was the first to speak.
"That's right!" Hodges remembered this very clearly.
"Are you sure you didn't inform others of the mission objectives before arriving at the scene?"
"That's right!"
"Then first we can confirm that the spy is among the people at your scene, right?"
"Why?" Hodges looked confused.
Blackwell also looked at Fang Lang curiously. This made Fang Lang unable to complain. Do you still need to explain such a simple reasoning yourself?
"Because the enemy only discovered it in the last five minutes before you took action! Others don't know the mission target and there is no way to warn them!"
"Yes! It makes sense, I understand!" Director Hodges slapped his forehead.
Seeing that Fang Lang did not continue, Director Hodges asked again: "What then?"
Fang Lang looked at Director Hodges with an eager expression and thought he already knew who it was! What happens next?
"There are only so many of you at the scene. Find out who had the opportunity to leave alone to report the message. Or find out how the Japanese received the message. Can't you find out who informed them?" Captain Blackwell Interjected on the side.
Hearing Blackwell's words, Director Hodges fell into deep thought and carefully recalled the situation at that time. Who had the opportunity to leave alone? This sentence directly helped him target his secretary.
Because at that time, he remembered that after assigning the task, his secretary also advised him not to do anything to the Japanese because he said that the Japanese had given them a lot of benefits. After he refused, he seemed to say what he was going to do! Just left for a little while.
Thinking about it now, he should have gone to report the information at that time. As for how the Japanese received the information, there is no need to investigate at all, because the Japanese were surrounded heavily and it was impossible for anyone to rush in and report the information. They could only be outside, and there was no way outside. You can only notify the other party by phone. You can check with the telephone company at that time and you will know. Thinking of this, Director Hodges suddenly stood up.
"Fang, I think I know who it is. I'm going back to catch him now! I'll visit you after I'm done!"
Obviously Director Hodges was not stupid, he just had never been exposed to this kind of espionage case and had no direction in handling the case. After the two reminded him, he immediately thought of who was the most suspicious.
