There is no way to completely determine the direction of investigation.
But only Kamikochi Akiko can give a definite answer.
This will be of great help to the investigation.
Otherwise, even if you launch an investigation in this direction, you will still have concerns and may not devote all your efforts.
There is no need to worry now.
Just investigate in this direction.
Kamikochi Akiko is also in a good mood. Her role is now reflected, which is a good start for her.
Handwriting!
After sitting down, Long Hao said: "In other words, the words on this note were most likely written by the Japanese who were responsible for investigating Masada Kazuya at the time."
"That's right." Zhu Yue nodded.
"This is handwritten, how did Masada Kazuya get it?"
"His ability can also be understood." Kamikochi Akiko felt that it was not impossible.
Masada Kazuya was afraid that he was in danger and wanted to be prepared.
So I tried to get this piece of paper.
"But even if he gets the paper, he still can't lock the other party's identity, otherwise there is no need to keep it carefully."
"It's just meaningless for us to discuss how to obtain the paper and why we obtained the paper without knowing the identity of the other party.
Now we have to use paper to find the owner of this handwriting. This is what we should do now." Zhu Yue felt that it was not meaningful to think about what Masada Kazuya had done.
How to use these existing conditions to capture Japanese spies is the key.
What Zhu Yue said was certainly correct. Song Shutang said: "'The people of the mountain city are struggling to get ahead' is obviously half a sentence, but although it is only half a sentence, it does not feel like the usual style of writing a letter, and the writing is a bit formal."
"Could it be writing articles, novels, reports, etc." Kamikochi Akiko immediately concluded.
Her ideas coincided with Song Shutang's.
article.
novel.
Report.
These things may have such a tone.
Zhu Yue said: "It may also be a summary report."
"Summary report?"
"For example, some written materials from the workplace."
After hearing this sentence, everyone thought it made sense.
For example, their military command bureau often writes such work summaries.
But if this is the case, the investigation will be too difficult.
"How about checking this line?" Long Hao asked.
Check to see if the same words appear in any reports or articles.
Zhu Yue shook his head and said: "First of all, the frequency of this line of text must be very high. Secondly, after this person's piece of paper is lost, he may be aware of it and may not use the same text content."
Text content can be changed.
But handwriting doesn't work.
After all, this person has always had this kind of handwriting, and suddenly changed his handwriting. Isn't this even more suspicious?
And you can switch your handwriting at will.
You said you have no problem?
Therefore, the handwriting method can continue to be investigated. No matter whether the other party discovers that he has lost a piece of paper or not, he cannot change the handwriting.
But the question now is, whose handwriting belongs to it?
What occupation do you engage in?
The scope is too broad.
But I had to check.
Zhu Yue said: "Looking at the current situation, if you want to investigate, you can only take the handwriting and find publishers, newspapers, major companies, major institutions and some people in the industry, and ask them to identify whether the handwriting is familiar to them.
Let’s see if we can find this person.”
This is their only solution at the moment.
After all, they have no way to compare themselves.
The reports, articles, and novels they saw were all in print.
Not a manuscript.
The manuscript can only be seen by some people in the industry.
So they need to identify it.
But there is a problem with doing this, that is, the noise will be relatively loud.
It is very likely that they will be discovered by the spy they are looking for.
Because this spy's latent cover identity is probably someone in the industry, and you might even ask someone about it.
Alarming the enemy can easily cause the other party to flee.
This spy is very capable.
And got the attention of Doihara Kenji.
There are likely to be multiple escape routes. If he escapes, it will be basically impossible to catch him.
So Zhu Yue was very hesitant.
But you really have no other better way at the moment.
Song Shutang suggested: "I don't think it's better to use the Intelligence Department to screen some innocent and trustworthy industry insiders to cooperate with our handwriting comparison work. These tasks are all done in secret, and we try to keep them as confidential as possible so as not to alert the spies in advance.
If the owner of the handwriting can be found in this way, we will not need to conduct a large-scale investigation."
This method is just a little more troublesome.
And try your luck.
The trouble is because you have to screen, and you have to do it secretly.
If you try your luck, there will be fewer candidates, and the probability of finding someone who recognizes the handwriting is low.
But Zhu Yue thinks this is better. After all, the ultimate goal of catching a spy is to arrest him. If he just catches the spy and the other party runs away, everything he does will be meaningless.
"This will take a long time." Long Hao said.
Because you first have to investigate these industry insiders, and then you can choose among them the people you think are innocent.
Let him cooperate with your secret comparison.
Even this person needs to maintain complete confidentiality.
Just selecting these people will take a long time, as well as manpower and material resources.
It certainly won't be faster.
"Then take your time." Zhu Yue said.
Since it can't be faster, there's no need to rush.
After the agreement, everyone dispersed. The next day, Long Hao was responsible for selecting industry insiders who could cooperate, while Zhu Yue went to report the current investigation progress to Shen Luchui.
Shen Lushui heard that there was a major discovery and agreed with Zhu Yue to conduct the investigation.
And it also provides a lot of convenience.
That is the people selected by the intelligence department to cooperate. If there is someone with a relatively high status who may not cooperate, then the Military Command Bureau will come forward to ask him to cooperate.
With Shen Lushui's support, Zhu Yue became more confident.
The investigation began secretly.
Because this is a handwriting comparison job, it does not require many manpower. After all, it is difficult to gain anything if you look for Usagawa Ken on the street.
Zhu Yue simply pulled everyone back.
It was said externally that the investigation was abandoned.
Shift the focus of work.
On the one hand, there has been no progress for such a long time and it really shouldn't continue.
Be persistent and have perseverance but don't be stupid.
Secondly, it can be regarded as releasing a smoke bomb. If Miki Kouta and other Japanese spies knew about their previous investigation, then they must now know that they gave up the investigation.
It can also cover the smooth progress of the secret comparison work.
Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko have nothing to do and just wait in the intelligence section every day.
After all, now that the investigation has been announced to the outside world, they naturally have nothing to do.
But this is the value of Kamikochi Akiko. Now that she has not reflected her own value, will the Intelligence Department continue to cooperate with her?
At least many people in the Intelligence Department have this idea.
Then Japanese spies will definitely have such thoughts.
Therefore, how to deal with Kamikochi Akiko is actually a matter of attitude, depending on whether you can deceive Japanese spies.
After Bao Yiwei and Shen Luchui discussed it, they decided to imprison Shangguchi Akiko in the Military Command Bureau pending processing.
It was said that he was detained, but in fact he just changed his dormitory to the Military Command Bureau.
There is also food and drink every day.
After all, she has provided a lot of help in the current investigation direction.
Kamiguchi Akiko had no objection to this arrangement, and she also understood that it was a ploy.
There is nothing wrong with living in the Military Command Bureau, and it is even safer for her.
It's just that your military command bureau issued an order for detention. Can the Japanese spies know about it?
Bao Yiwei thinks it can.
Although the Military Command Bureau is very secretive.
But the infiltration of Japanese spies is also terrifying.
Besides, you can't be too obvious. If the news of Kamikochi Akiko's imprisonment is revealed, everyone will know.
The Japanese spy should also think about the authenticity of this news.
So it's fine now.
Even if you don't see Kamikochi Akiko active outside, it's not impossible for the spy to make his own judgment.
It was like this for three days in a row.
Akiko Kamiguchi is living a life of imprisonment in the Military Command Bureau.
Other than not being able to leave the room, there isn't much difference.
But these past few days have been very uncomfortable for Kamikochi Akiko.
Since she couldn't leave her room, she began to fantasize about what her life would be like if she were really imprisoned.
Just fantasizing about it already made her a little scared.
Now I can still eat and drink.
The treatment in detention at that time was not so good.
Restricting freedom may even never see the light of day.
Just thinking about it like this made Kamikochi Akiko feel uncomfortable all over, and that kind of fear was hard to get rid of.
This further strengthened her belief that she could not be imprisoned.
No one cares about what Akiko Kamiguchi thinks now.
Long Hao has already brought the results of the investigation and selected candidates who he thinks can cooperate with the comparison work.
This selection is not all available now.
After all, there are many industries in which spies may exist.
Long Hao is currently focusing on investigations in newspapers and publishing houses.
Because this aspect is the most likely, we should investigate first. If we can find something, there is no need to investigate other things.
If nothing is found, it’s not too late to investigate others.
After all, it is difficult to carry out secret investigations simultaneously.
This saves time and improves efficiency.
"How many people have been selected?" Zhu Yue asked Long Hao.
"More than thirty." Long Hao said.
This number is not an exaggeration at all.
There are too many newspapers and publishing houses in mountain cities now.
If you don’t want to keep your wealth clean and keep it secret.
Not to mention thirty, even three hundred can be found.
Thirty sounds like a lot, but it's actually a small number.
I don't know if there is someone who happened to have seen this handwriting.
Hope there will be good results.
"Is there anyone from the bureau who needs to come forward?"
"There are five."
"List."
Long Hao provided a list of five people with relatively high social status and even government officials.
Long Hao directly asked them to cooperate, which would be difficult.
Therefore, it is better for the Military Command Bureau to intervene.
"I will give the list to the section chief, and you will be responsible for letting them compare it. It must be done in secret and let them keep it confidential."
"It's the team leader."
"I'll follow you," Song Shutang said from the side.
He has nothing to do in the office.
It's better to follow along.
Zhu Yue said: "Okay."
Soon the list was handed over to Shen Lushui, who said he would solve it, and Song Shutang and Long Hao could just start taking action.
Don't waste time either.
On the second day, it was Song Shutang and Long Hao.
One person rides a bicycle and starts working.
They carried the original note, not the photo.
After all, the photo may blur out some details.
But the comparison of handwriting often relies on details.
Just to prevent damage.
It is framed with glass, which does not affect the observation and also plays a certain protective role.
And it’s customized and not big, just fit it on your body.
It was done secretly, so it was inconvenient for the two of them to enter and exit the newspaper office and publishing house at will.
Therefore, all contacts are made by phone.
Every newspaper office and publishing house has a telephone number.
Use the phone to make an appointment with the person you want to meet, and then tell them their identity and ask for cooperation.
Basically this is the process.
It was very smooth.
After all, they didn't dare to refuse if they cooperated with the Intelligence Division.
And they are all selected people, and they are sure of it.
After they saw the handwriting, they were asked to keep it secret and told that they would be held responsible if the information was leaked.
They all nodded and said they would keep it strictly confidential.
But two people were selected from the first newspaper office.
After seeing the handwriting separately, they were not familiar with it.
They all said they had never seen it.
However, they also said that after returning, they would look through the existing manuscript archives in the newspaper office to see if they could find anything.
Long Hao told them that they could go back and read it, but they should try to be careful and not make it too obvious.
Later, the two of them moved to another newspaper office.
After a busy day, I met ten people out of thirty people.
First of all, they are not in the same place and it takes some time to travel.
Secondly, you have to wait for an appointment.
Finally, comparing handwriting also takes time.
As a result, I met ten people in one day.
The efficiency is pretty good.
It just didn't turn out that well.
These ten people said that they were not familiar with this handwriting.
At the same time, they also said that they would help and pay attention when they return.
In the evening, I returned to the Information Section and spoke to Zhu Yue before going back to rest.
Continue the next day.
After three days of busy work, I finally met all the more than thirty people.
But the results were unsatisfactory.
No one is familiar with this handwriting.
I don't know if the newspaper or publishing house really has nothing to do with the Japanese spies they want to track down, or if the thirty people they selected just didn't recognize the handwriting.
But Zhu Yue asked Long Hao to start investigating other aspects.
Although it is very likely that it is someone who missed recognizing handwriting.
Just to keep it a secret you can't expand it.
Looking at other aspects, it would be best if we could investigate secretly. After all, it may not be someone related to the newspaper or publishing house.
Long Hao went to collect information and select personnel.
Song Shutang was idle again.
During this period, Kamikochi Akiko called him over, also wanting to inquire about the investigation results.
After all, although she has provided help, she still doesn't know if there will be any results.
When he saw Kamikochi Akiko again, Song Shutang could clearly feel that her condition was worse than before.
But the Military Command Bureau has not treated her badly these days.
Song Shutang understood it as soon as he thought about it.
This is similar to the feeling of confinement.
Maybe Kamikochi Akiko doesn't really care about the progress of the investigation. After all, this investigation takes a long time, and only a few days have passed?
Maybe I just want to talk to someone.
Song Shutang was also observing Kamikochi Akiko while they were talking, and he also understood that Kamikochi Akiko was also observing him.
Kamikochi Akiko became more and more anxious.
Song Shutang also began to look forward to what she would do next.
