Chapter 825 No one can be missing

"Jiangcheng and Shancheng's underground personnel have entered a deep lurking state, Old K."

In a house at No. 33 Pingyue Road, looking at the translated message, Zuo Zhong felt relieved and slowly took back his cell phone.

Before the large-scale search for Jiangcheng began, he sent an early warning to Xu Weiming, whom he had not contacted for a long time. Now that he had received a reply, he could then let go and start a big fight.

Looking back, you can ask the other party where he went after evacuating Jinling, whether he was in Jiangcheng or a mountain city, so as to avoid being unable to contact him in case of emergency.

Zuo Zhong, who was thinking a lot, stood at the window with his arms folded, silently waiting for the results of the search and investigation by Gu Qi and others. It was impossible for only one Yao Li to appear in such a large-scale operation.

As the place where life is the most important thing, and as the seat of the Jiangcheng government that once competed with the Jinling government, various forces have invested a large number of intelligence personnel here.

I don’t know how many rats will pop up in this sudden manhunt. The milk cake shop on Hualou Street is by no means an isolated case. They were just unlucky enough to be ordered by someone.

A few hours later.

The night was getting darker, the bright moonlight was shining over the three towns of Jiangcheng, dozens of armed agents were patrolling back and forth on Pingyue Road, and there was silence in No. 33 Courtyard.

In the conference room with the curtains tightly closed, Zuo Zhong raised his hand and knocked on the table, looking at his subordinates who were whispering to each other: "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting.

Lao Gu, you talk first, then Lao Song and Wu Jingzhong, and finally Wu Chunyang, Gui Youguang, and everyone will summarize the situation together."

After speaking, he turned to look at Gu Qi: "There are many government agencies and high-level residences in Wuchang, which are the focus of Japanese infiltration. How is it? Have you found anything?"

"Some discoveries."

Gucci sat upright on the chair, opened the document carefully, took out his glasses from his jacket pocket, put them on, and read in his mouth.

"We found a total of 16 suspected spies and 328 criminals wanted by the police at docks, bus stations, train stations and residential areas.

Let’s not talk about the latter for now. According to the preliminary background investigation, 8 of the 16 people in front are the informants of domestic forces. The identities of the remaining 8 people are unknown and require further screening.

I have made arrangements so that all targets are surrounded by 2 to 3 intelligence teams, responsible for data verification, peripheral investigation, time and space tracing, and surveillance.

Once the identity is confirmed, even if the evidence is insufficient, I think we can carry out the cleanup work. I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. It is too dangerous to allow the other party to move around Jiangcheng."

"Yea, very good."

Zuo Zhong nodded to express his satisfaction. As the head of the intelligence section, he should not be aggressive but should have the awareness to take the initiative to attack.

Lao Gu is a man who is more composed and less aggressive. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, but if he wants to secure the position of director of the first intelligence division of the Military Command Bureau in the future, both of them are indispensable.

Just having a kind gun cannot do intelligence work well. When it is necessary to kill decisively, you must be ruthless. As a spy, what can you do without a little bit of domineering?

On the other side, Song Minghao generously signaled to Wu Jingzhong to report on his behalf. After all, he was the person in charge of the search for Hanyang. No matter who reported the report, he would have to take the credit.

Wu Jingzhong, the King of Golden Sentences, looked grateful and began to report calmly: "Deputy Director, as an industrial zone, Hanyang has a small permanent population, only 200,000 to 300,000 people.

At the same time, most of these 200,000 to 300,000 people are industrial workers, and their activities are in fixed areas. In addition to a large-scale search, Deputy Chief Song and I focused our investigation on the Hanyang Arsenal.

Because in the current intelligence work, military-related intelligence ranks first in importance, followed by economic and political (anti-blockade) intelligence.

For the Japanese, mastering the output and weapons manufacturing and research progress of the Hanyang Arsenal is a top priority.

Through visits and investigations, data review, and combined with the records of the factory's internal security agency, we have identified a total of seven targets and are now conducting all-round tracking and monitoring of them."

Zuo Zhong agrees with King Jin Ju and Song Minghao's judgment that the relationship between China and Japan, and even World War II, was actually a confrontation between large soldiers (anti-blockade) regiments, large factories, and large laboratories.

Collecting intelligence on the enemy's military industry is an important task for intelligence agencies in various countries. The Japanese military operations require this information. The Hanyang Arsenal is indeed worthy of in-depth investigation.

"Hurry up. I told Chunyang and Youguang that we not only have to win this battle, but we also have to win it beautifully. Let me add here, we have to win it quickly.

There have been less Japanese bombings in the past two days, and many people think that everything is fine, but I want to tell you that the Japanese are not slacking off, they are just resting and waiting for local ammunition."

Zuo Zhong took a pen and tapped the report in front of him. The clicking sound seemed to hit everyone's hearts. He looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Once the ammunition arrives at the port, an overwhelming swarm of bombers will envelope Jiangcheng. This time may be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or early tomorrow morning.

You know how heavy the burden is on us, Chunyang, Dairy Cake Shop, and Yao Li are not included. You later found a few people with problems. Tell them. As hosts, we must know how many guests are coming.

,right."

His tone was full of joking, and the tapping movements on his hands were getting faster and faster. His white teeth shone coldly in the dark room, as if he wanted to devour everything.

"yes."

Wu Chunyang's eyelids twitched, and he put his hands flat on his knees with a serious expression: "Three suspicious persons were discovered in the Wanshou Palace in Hankou and the French Concession, and they are currently under surveillance.

Information from the police station shows that all three of them are singles without exception. They all came to Jiangcheng from the north a few years ago. They have no fixed jobs and make a living as brokers and inquiring about information.

They live in single-door villas and new-style buildings, and their clothes are of the highest quality. It is inferred that their income is high, otherwise they would not be able to support such a luxurious life.

The strange thing is that the local Pao Ge organization, the French and other forces do not have many records of purchasing intelligence. It is impossible to know who they sold the intelligence to or whether they actually sold the intelligence.

In short, income is extremely inconsistent with consumption, unless their customers are underground parties, but this is unlikely. Everyone knows that the northwest is very poor, and they may not have enough funds to acquire information."

"hehe."

"Maybe he got rich."

"Red Russians..."

People present all made fun of the fact that the underground party was poor. Ordinary people knew that after the Chang'an Incident, the underground party representatives in Jinling who discussed cooperation in the anti-Japanese war even had their glasses legs wrapped with tape.

To say that this kind of people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy messy information, you will not believe it even if you beat them to death. From this point of view, the so-called brokers and intelligence trading are more like a cover.

"OK OK."

Zuo Zhong rubbed his brows and said angrily: "Don't worry about those dissidents for now. These three people are so high-profile. We can't rule out that they are a smoke screen thrown by the other party."

Wu Chunyang nodded: "Yes, Hankou's location is important, and the Japanese will not ignore it. We haven't found other suspects, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. I think we can investigate the source of the funds."

"Not much hope."

Gui Youguang leaned there lazily and said something shocking: "If someone dares to do this, it shows that they are not afraid of investigation. They can just open an account in a foreign bank and wire transfer funds when necessary."

Let me ask you, how can we investigate? Those foreigners have always looked down on the government and the Chinese, and are unlikely to cooperate with the investigation. Maybe they will sue us in turn, which will only cause trouble in vain.

Let me tell you, for the reason of air defense, the power supply to households in Hankou was temporarily cut off, and only commercial institutions and government agencies were supplied with power. Japanese spies would have to send telegrams, and how long can the radio's battery last?"

"Hiss~"

Everyone, including Zuo Zhong, stared at Gui Youguang with incredulous eyes. What does this mean? A wise man will make a mistake after a thousand worries, and a fool will gain after a thousand worries.

Although cutting off the power supply to a city with a million people is a bit fanciful, this idea is correct. Considering the critical nature of the war, Shangfeng might agree to it.

Zuo Zhong thought about it carefully and shook his head slightly. Based on his understanding of this person, it was unlikely that he would agree to the Secret Service doing this.

Besides, these three people don't have much value. It's better to keep them here to confuse the enemy and enter the Secret Service's field of vision. These people won't be able to escape and they can be arrested whenever they want.

After a few minutes of silence, he asked: "What's going on with Yao Li?"

After hearing this, Wu Chunyang stood up and turned off the light, walked to the slide projector, put in a roll of film, and turned on the power with a click, followed by a low buzzing sound of electricity.

The curtain on the wall slowly revealed a photo of a smiling man. The photo looked like it came from an archive and was not large in size.

"This is Yao Li, male, born in 1907, Jiangcheng, elementary school education. In the 15th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1926, he joined the First Regiment of the 30th Division of the 30th Army of the Guo Army and served for three years.

His performance during the service was mediocre, so we found his comrades who were still in the military. They said that Yao Li was very low-key and a veteran who liked to hide behind others when participating in battles.

In the 18th year of the Republic of China, he retired and joined the Hankou Police Station's Third Bureau. His performance was neither good nor bad. Because he was willing to spend money, he was promoted to sergeant in the first two years and was responsible for front-line security work in Hualou Street."

After briefly introducing the background of the target, he pressed the button, the slide projector clicked, and the image on the curtain was replaced by a family portrait.

In the middle of the photo, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, are sitting, each holding a child in their arms. Yao Li and a fairly pretty woman are standing in the back.

Under the beam of light from the camera, Wu Chunyang raised his right hand and pointed at the curtain with a wooden stick to signal everyone's attention, and said.

"Yao Li's parents are still alive. His wife works in a department store in Hankou. He has two children, both boys, aged 5 and 3. The family has a harmonious relationship with the neighbors.

As for their specific information, time is too tight and there is no time to mimeograph it. If you have a light, I will circulate it to everyone. Taking into account all aspects of the situation, the Yao family is a very normal common people in Jiangcheng.

The previous generation or even the previous generation lived here, and there is no record of family members disappearing for a long time. Basically, it can be determined that they are real people, and there are no signs of being impersonated.

The target was probably recruited by the Japanese and became a traitor. Gui Youguang and I reviewed his experience and found that this time was probably after Yao Li entered the police station.

First, the military has stricter management than the outside world, making it difficult for outsiders to enter the camp to instigate rebellion;

Second, if Yao Li is incited to rebel in the army, what he should do is stay in the army instead of retiring."

"Well, that makes sense."

In the darkness, Zuo Zhong touched his chin, his eyes turned to Yao Li's parents, wife and children, and finally he smiled and said lightly.

"Then please invite Yao Li's whole family to come. Note, I'm talking about the whole family. No one should be missing."
