Chapter 264 Neglect of duty (seeking a monthly ticket)

When Ning Zhiheng came to Liu Tongfang knew about the purpose of his visit, he nodded immediately and said, "That's natural, I must have said everything."

"Okay," Ning Zhiheng bowed slightly in the seat and asked calmly, "It has been a month since the seat issued an order. You must have monitored the target. Is there any record of his specific whereabouts?"

Liu Tongfang nodded, but soon smiled bitterly and said, "But Kawamoto Kurashi hid in the consulate every day and had basically never shown up. Our people could not enter, so they could only monitor the consulate's periphery. It can be said that he gained little. He went out three times in this month. One of them was because of foreign affairs activities. We followed the garrison of the constituents, but we couldn't track it. Two more times were watching antiques in Qingjiangyuan, east of Hangzhou City. Each time it took no more than two hours. But you know, the order of the host is to not take action outside the consulate and the concession, so we have no idea how to start!"

Ning Zhiheng knew that Qingjiang Garden in the east of Hangzhou City is the most densely packed place specializing in antique business. Over time, it has become the most famous antique distribution center in Hangzhou City.

"This Kawamoto Kurama likes antiques?" Ning Zhiheng felt aroused when he heard this, "I haven't mentioned this before."

Liu Tongfang coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Kawamoto Kurashi was the head of the Japanese Special High School in Shanghai before. He was an old agent with a hidden whereabouts. We have not collected enough information about his situation, so we don't know that he has this hobby. However, judging from the surveillance situations between the two times, he likes Chinese antiques very much, and has a good vision and is very accurate in his actions. He purchased five antiques, each of which is genuine and fine."

"What are the main shops to go to?" Ning Zhiheng continued, "There are many antique shops in Qingjiangyuan, and he can't transfer them in two hours."

Ning Zhiheng had been to Qingjiang Garden before, and he occupied a considerable area, with many stalls and many people with backpacks, and he would catch individual customers in it.

Liu Tongfang replied: "Kawamoto Kurashi's actions are very cautious and he does not show up outside at all. These two times they have been directly watching the goods at the three largest antique shops. They have a big hand. As long as they like the antiques, they will buy them at a high price. It's very refreshing."

Ning Zhiheng thought carefully in his heart and said softly: "This is a breakthrough worth trying, we can make use of it!"

Then he asked: "The order of the Seal is to cause the illusion of accidental death or disease death. We must start with Kawamoto Kurashi's body. He is fifty-four years old this year. Haven't you investigated his health?"

At this time, the average life expectancy of a person is not high. Even if the Japanese live longer than that of Chinese, they are already considered an elderly person at the age of fifty-three, and their health will not be a problem at all. Ning Zhiheng thinks that he can do something about this.

"We have also considered this issue, but we have their own doctors in the Japanese consulate, and we can't get in touch with them. We are afraid of alarming the enemy, so we dare not investigate in depth." Liu Tongfang explained that it was too difficult after all, and Chinese intelligence organizations have never been able to establish their own information channels within the Japanese, and it is even more difficult to obtain enemy information.

Ning Zhiheng didn't worry about this question anymore, and he asked again: "How many guards do he bring every time he comes out?"

Liu Tongfang quickly replied: "There are not many guards, only three, two of them are familiar faces, all of whom are military officers in the consulate, and only one is a new face. We have never seen them before. It is probably his confidant brought from Shanghai."

Speaking of this, he stood up and walked to the room, took a briefcase over and handed it to Ning Zhiheng, "This is the record of our investigation of the Japanese consulate staff over the past few years. I specially brought it here to let you take a look."

One of the important tasks of their Hangzhou Military Intelligence Station in Hangzhou is to monitor the movements of the Japanese. The Japanese consulate is the top priority. They have detailed records of the consulates, counselors, military officers and staff who have been stationed all year round.

Ning Zhiheng took it and took out the documents inside one by one. They were all information from the Japanese consulate staff. He looked through it carefully and suddenly seemed to find something. He picked up a photo of someone and asked, "There is also a Chinese person's information here."

Liu Tongfang is very familiar with these materials. He has read them many times. When he heard Ning Zhiheng's question, he quickly said, "Peng A-si, he is a Chinese chef, forty-five years old, and has good skills. Because the consulate sometimes holds some foreign affairs activities and needs to make Chinese dishes when entertaining Chinese people, they hired a Chinese chef, but they stopped doing it last year. Now they are the chef in a restaurant in Hangzhou. There is no Chinese in the Japanese consulate now."

Ning Zhiheng frowned. The Japanese were indeed very careful and did not leave any opportunity.

Ning Zhiheng asked again: "Since the location of the assassination is chosen in the consulate, do you have any understanding of the terrain and the layout of the rooms inside the consulate?"

Liu Tongfang spread his hands and said helplessly: "The consulate has two buildings, one is an office building, the other is the accommodation building for their main personnel, and some other bungalows are dormitories for staff and garrison soldiers. We just asked through some people who have been to the consulate that they knew about the rough terrain of the office building where they held banquets, but we didn't know the others."

"Don't you know this Peng Asi?" Ning Zhiheng asked, pointing to the photo of Peng Asi in his hand.

Liu Tongfang also did his work carefully. He also investigated these situations in advance. He replied: "I know some, but it is mainly the terrain and room distribution of the office building. We also asked him. He just lives in a bungalow and works in the kitchen. The Japanese do not believe him, so he does not know the internal situation of the accommodation building where Kawamoto Kurashi lives."

Ning Zhiheng put the information in his hand back on the table, with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone, shook his head and said, "Brother Tongfang, I am frank, your working methods are backward, and you are in a serious fear of difficulties. The data collection is not comprehensive, especially the mastery of Kawamoto Kurashi's personal situation is basically written. If you don't have any information, you have to try every means to investigate. Just forget it if you can't start!

The terrain of this consulate is definitely the most important information, especially the location of Kawamoto Kurashi's living room, which is actually blank. He was simply alone and did not contact us. If we want to cause him to die of an accident or illness, the best place to start is his room. But until now, you can't even determine which room he lives in. This progress makes me very dissatisfied. To be honest, your working attitude, if you are at the Nanjing headquarters, the section chief will throw these information on your face!"

Ning Zhiheng's tone became more and more serious. The working conditions of the Hangzhou Military Intelligence Station were indeed too unsatisfactory. The seats were right. They blindly emphasized difficulties, had low work efficiency, and had no initiative.

These people are all old people from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, but after staying in the local area for a long time, they are inevitably a little slack. Compared with the agents at the Nanjing headquarters, their work efficiency is much worse.

One month is enough for him, Ning Zhiheng to crack two spy teams!

When Liu Tongfang heard Ning Zhiheng's scolding, his face turned red. He wanted to argue a few words, but he thought of Ning Zhiheng's identity and dared not say more. You must know that their future destiny will be in Ning Zhiheng's palm. He was under the roof and had to bow his head.

Liu Tongfang had no choice but to say sincerely: "I handled it all inappropriately. Please be more responsible for Zhiheng. Don't worry, you will follow your arrangements in the future. I will cooperate with you."

Ning Zhiheng knew that his words were a bit too heavy, but he was indeed not satisfied with the work of the Hangzhou Military Intelligence Station. Liu Tongfang, as the military chief, could not refuse to blame. With Ning Zhiheng's strict work style, if it were his subordinates, such a lazy style, he would have removed him from his post and investigated him.

He tried to calm down his mind for a moment and said to the point of slowing down his tone: "Brother Tongfang, maybe I said it too much, but the fact is that your fear of difficulties made Du Se extremely annoyed. To be honest, this behavior makes you and your Hangzhou Station difficult, and Du Se's eyes cannot tolerate sand."

When he heard Ning Zhiheng's words, Liu Tongfang was shocked. It seemed that the previous estimate was correct. Ning Zhiheng came with Shangfang's sword. If this case does not have a satisfactory result, the Seizure would not let him go!

In panic, he hurriedly said, "Zhiheng, you and I are the same disciples. You still have to help me this time!"

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "After all, we need to solve the case. Now we have two directions. The first direction is to investigate Kawamoto Kurashi's physical health, and then carry out the next step of work based on his body's targeted health. The second direction is to understand Kawamoto Kurashi's residence. This is extremely important, because we must enter the consulate in the end.

Now you have to do a few things. First, find me a doctor with great medical skills and cooperate with my actions. I will take the initiative to contact Kawamoto Kurashi and find ways to understand his physical condition.

Second, near the shops he often goes to in Qingjiang Garden, I found a surveillance site for me. The location should be larger. I must stay there at all times and be ready to contact the target at any time.

Third, find ways to find Chinese workers, construction technicians, or decoration personnel who built the Japanese consulate at that time, and learn about the internal layout of the consulate through them.
