The particularity of mountain cities is self-evident.
Guns and ammunition can be sold there, and the identity is imminent.
Japanese spies are lurking in the mountain city, waiting for the opportunity, and they will do anything to instigate rebellion. How can they remain indifferent to such an opportunity?
Yan Dong will definitely not lie at this moment.
Could it be possible that he did not encounter Japanese spies in previous transactions, but only in the latest transaction?
Moreover, at that time, the Japanese spies were preparing weapons for later sneaking into the mountain city and replacing the members of the Six-legged Team, so they did not have the energy or ability to conduct reverse investigations.
Maybe the new team was busy with other things when they arrived in Shancheng and failed to investigate the arms trafficking issue immediately?
Can it be explained this way?
A bit far-fetched.
And through Song Shutang's questioning, Yan Dong said that he may have encountered Japanese spies in previous transactions, not just the latest one.
Yan Dong wanted to make meritorious deeds.
It is an indisputable fact that weapons are traded to Japanese spies. Now, only by assisting the Intelligence Division in capturing Japanese spies can one have a chance of survival.
After hearing this, Long Hao's eyes were a little confused.
"Japanese spies have been paying attention to him before, so it's impossible not to investigate."
"How are your phone lines designed?" Song Shutang felt that the problem might lie here.
Yan Dong was a little proud when he talked about this matter. If he were not a prisoner now, he might be even more embarrassed.
"I connected the telephone line to the phone number of a foreign company. This foreign company has a wide range of cross-border import business, and there is an embassy behind it to protect me. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to mess with it," Yan Dong said.
"Aren't you worried about someone finding your location through the phone line?"
"They can't find it."
"How come I can't find you when I follow the phone line?" Long Hao felt that there was no pressure to find someone.
Yan Dong replied: "After I connected the phone line to the apartment upstairs, it actually went through the abandoned pipe in the building, and the entrance was on the floor where the employees of the foreign bank rented."
"Abandoned pipes?" When the Intelligence Department went to check the telephone lines, they had already been cleaned up, so they were unable to grasp these.
Now from what Yan Dong said, he really has some sense.
Yan Dong continued: "I don't go to the apartment often. If I'm not on the phone line, my phone will be hidden by me."
Is it because of this that the Japanese spies did not investigate?
After all, it's not appropriate to investigate.
There are mostly foreigners in the apartment upstairs.
In addition, it was not a Japanese-occupied area, so Japanese spies had to be cautious at all times in the mountainous city, and it was understandable that they did not dare to take risks and conduct in-depth investigations.
After all, there is a slight possibility that a foreign firm is involved in gun smuggling.
Yan Dong is cautious.
The spy ensures safety.
Is it true that there has never been an investigation?
Song Shutang has rich experience in dealing with Japanese spies, and he has heard even more experiences from the members of the Sword Holding Team. It is now difficult for him to convince himself that the Japanese spies did not investigate in depth.
He looked directly into Yan Dong's eyes.
Yan Dong was a little embarrassed when he saw it.
He shouted hurriedly: "Team Leader Song, I really didn't lie. Why would I lie at this time? Am I waiting for the Japanese to rescue me?"
"They don't have that ability either," Long Hao said.
"So everything I said is true."
There is currently nothing gained from re-examining Yan Dong.
They can only ask the members of the interrogation department to take him down and continue to detain him, and at the same time warn him to recall carefully and not let go of any valuable clues.
After Yan Dong was taken away, Long Hao said: "Mountain cities are no better than other places after all. Japanese spies don't dare to be too arrogant here. People like the 'Mountain Ghost' are just special cases. They may not really investigate the source of the weapons.
Moreover, there are many foreigners in foreign companies, so they are not the main target for the development of the spy team, and they are afraid of being exposed or not having too many contacts. The most important thing is that Yan Dong dare not lie. In the current situation, it is impossible for the spy to save him, and he can provide valuable clues to save himself.
It's his only chance."
It makes sense logically.
But if you just give up on investigating Japanese spies, you will have no clues.
Will the follow-up have to wait for the Japanese spy to reveal his true identity?
Then they no longer know how many things they have done in the mountain city.
The six-legged group is an example.
And the most fundamental reason is that Song Shutang does not agree with the spy's statement that the spy did not conduct an in-depth investigation, which is not in line with the other party's habits.
"Go to the Foreign Bank again." Song Shutang said to Long Hao.
"What to do?"
"Look at the pipeline Yan Dong mentioned."
The two of them came to the foreign bank again and found the channel Yan Dong mentioned. Song Shutang began to follow it to check.
According to Yan Dong, he initially planned to fix the magnet on the telephone line and put it into the pipe, and then use the same magnet outside to start moving the telephone line in the pipe.
But this idea has problems in practice.
Because the pipes are also made of iron.
The magnet would be adsorbed on the pipe, making friction very difficult and accompanied by sound, so Yan Dong had to give up.
Finally, the plan was completed by using water flow to wash down the telephone wires from a high place.
Exploring along the pipes, we found that not all abandoned pipes were found in the entire building.
But only half.
Because the abandonment of this pipeline was a flaw in the original design, it was unable to meet the water supply needs of the entire building.
Because when it was originally built, it was not designed to provide water supply for the whole building. Instead, each floor was designed to have a public washing area, so the pipes did not actually enter the room.
Later, with the development of apartments, tap water was required to be delivered to households. It was better to build a new pipe than to replace it. Therefore, this pipe was abandoned and not dismantled.
The room Yan Dong rented was naturally on the side of the abandoned pipe.
However, as Song Shutang checked, he found that the pipes did not enter the house. Although Yan Dong used the pipes to hide the phone lines cleverly, he still had to get the phone lines out of the pipes when he approached his residence.
Then there is a gap in the pipe.
But it is more difficult if you actively want to make a gap in the pipe because there will be big movement.
Therefore, Yan Dong chose to take advantage of an existing gap.
But it was not close to his residence, but three houses in front of him.
There just happened to be a break in the pipe.
After taking out the telephone wire from inside, Yan Dong extended the telephone wire behind the pipe to block the view of outsiders.
Finally enter the room.
After Song Shutang checked it out, he said to Long Hao: "Yan Dong's design is not as clever as he said. If the Japanese spy wants to trace it, he will definitely be able to find his room and target him."
Song Shutang can now confirm this.
What Yan Dong said was just what he thought was self-righteous.
Song Shutang can make a judgment through on-the-spot investigation, and his design cannot be hidden from spies at all.
Long Hao now agrees with this statement.
"What he said seemed clever enough. He really underestimated the Japanese spies." Long Hao just now really believed Yan Dong's lies.
"He is not an intelligence worker, and it is understandable that he does not understand the circumstances of Japanese spies. Therefore, after listening to his story, we still need to conduct on-the-spot investigation."
"clear."
Come out of the apartment above the foreign bank.
The two stood outside thinking.
Long Hao said: "Then how do you explain the spy's indifference?"
After all, it was easy for Japanese spies to investigate Yan Dong, much easier than when the Intelligence Department investigated Yan Dong.
It is obviously unjustifiable for a spy to not take advantage of such an opportunity.
You say be careful?
The spies who dare to lurk in the mountain city are determined to die.
If you really can't contact someone, you can arrange for an unimportant person, but no matter what you choose, giving up is extremely unwise.
It is impossible for Japanese spy agencies to agree to such an arrangement.
But Yan Dong obviously didn't lie. He had indeed never encountered a situation where Japanese spies came to his door. Otherwise, he would have confessed by now.
So what exactly is the problem?
The 'Mountain Ghost' can still investigate if he is not dead.
But how could "Mountain Ghost" be so paranoid that you could catch him alive?
The investigation is now at a deadlock.
Long Hao also couldn't think of any clues, so the two had to go back to the Intelligence Department first.
Zhu Yue came back in the evening and reported the results of the investigation.
Zhu Yue also believed that Song Shutang's analysis was correct. The Japanese spy should indeed find Yan Dong, but why didn't he?
"Should we torture Yan Dong?" Long Hao asked.
You think he didn't lie.
But it's not impossible.
However, both Song Shutang and Zhu Yue said that it was not necessary. Yan Dong's condition was actually easy to judge, and there was no point in suspecting him of lying.
"How is your investigation going?" Song Shutang asked Zhu Yue about the situation here.
"The case has been closed. The party has chosen a day to pronounce the verdict. The property liquidation work is almost in progress. All that is left is accounting and treasury. Many organizations have already started to apply for funds. The military pay department has also been eyeing it for a long time. The money is not available yet.
Once you figure it out, just wait and start dividing."
The mountain city now needs construction.
All departments and agencies are involved, and every job requires money and is naturally urgent.
