Possible range may occur by locking time away from the legation.
Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
But the capture of Kota Miki's spy team is of extraordinary significance to the four of them.
The intelligence department is suspected of leaking information. The team to capture the Japanese espionage can prove the innocence of the intelligence department and restore the impact of the failure of the previous mission. As the team leader, Zhu Yue is most concerned about it.
Akiko Kamiguchi was finally able to participate in the investigation, and it was still a secret investigation by the Intelligence Division. If she could make some achievements and make contributions, her current situation might be improved. This was one of her few opportunities.
Needless to say, Song Shutang knew that Kota Miki was related to the Sword Holding Group, and capturing Kota Miki was a task that must be completed.
As for Long Hao, who was always full of enthusiasm for catching Japanese spies, Xin Zhiye's regret has been turned into strength by him.
The four people have exactly the same goal.
The temporarily formed investigation team can be said to be united.
Since we need to use the time outside the embassy, we should draw a range.
Long Hao went to find a map and came over.
Lay the map flat on the long table in the conference room.
Long Hao said: "According to the clues provided by Tomihisa Kengo, Xin Zhiye left the embassy at four o'clock in the afternoon and returned at nine-thirty in the evening."
"Five and a half hours." Zhu Yue said.
"And according to the information provided by Kengo Tomihisa, Xin Zhiye took a rickshaw when he went out."
Eling is remote.
Xin Zhiye If there is no transportation, it will be very time-consuming.
Although he won't let the rickshaw take him completely to the place, he will definitely need to take a rickshaw for at least the first half of the journey.
"Can this rickshaw driver still be found?" Zhu Yue asked.
"It shouldn't be difficult to find a rickshaw driver working in Eling. Even if he is no longer in Eling, he is still registered with the rickshaw company. It's just that a long time has passed and the rickshaw driver has to pull many customers every day. I'm afraid he won't remember.
"Long Hao is worried about this.
After all, rickshaw pullers have a heavy workload every day.
Most of the time I wear a straw hat.
The guests got in the car, told them their destination, and then immersed themselves in work.
Guests pay when they get off the bus.
Maybe they won't even look at the guests.
"Whether he remembers it or not, find it first and then talk about it."
"Then I'll check on this rickshaw driver in the afternoon."
Kamikochi Akiko said at this time: "We now assume that Xin Zhiye takes a rickshaw for the entire journey, then it takes five and a half hours for him to go back and forth, which means that the one-way time is two hours and forty-five minutes. We can make a preliminary judgment based on this time
As far as he can go."
A rickshaw is naturally faster than walking.
So the scope of this inference will only be larger.
It must contain the location where Xin Zhiye appeared.
But two hours and forty-five minutes.
According to the speed of a rickshaw, this range is too wide.
Long Hao frowned and pointed at the map and said: "Looking at it this way, it is completely enough to reach the city. In other words, from Eling to the city, you cannot even draw a straight line, you have to draw a circle. Then the other side of the Jialing River and the other side of the Yangtze River are all
It’s possible, do you know how big this range is?”
It's not like Long Hao has never participated in the city-wide manhunt mission of the Military Command Bureau.
But if it is said to be a city-wide search, then it means that only the old city is being searched.
From Chaotianmen Pier to Bone Pagoda.
This is already a needle in a haystack.
But according to the current scope.
It was at least five or six times larger than the previous city-wide manhunt.
There are only four of them.
Even if the investigation goes on for eternity, the investigation will not be completed.
Even the map is not comprehensive enough, after all, this map is more of an urban area.
Kamikochi Akiko said: "After finding the rickshaw driver, we can determine the direction Xin Zhiye is going, so it should not be a circular range, but a fan-shaped range."
"But it's still very big." Long Hao felt that when it reaches a certain level, it won't be a question of circular or fan-shaped.
No difference.
Zhu Yue said: "If we can determine whether Xin Zhiye has crossed the river or not, we can also narrow the scope."
If you don't cross the river, the scope can be narrowed again.
If you cross the river, the range can also be reduced.
"It's just that Xin Zhiye will definitely not let the rickshaw driver take him to the dock. Even if he crosses the river, he will walk there by himself. There will be more people crossing the river. If you want to find someone who has seen Xin Zhiye or even remembered Xin Zhiye
It’s even more impossible for people like him.” It’s true that Long Hao is highly motivated, but when he talks about it now, he still feels powerless.
Take a look and continue the discussion.
It will only damage morale.
Zhu Yue said: "Check the rickshaw driver first."
Everyone immediately stopped discussing, and Long Hao went to check on the rickshaw driver alone.
Zhu Yue said to Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko: "You can ask Tomihisa Kengo again to see if he can provide more detailed clues, which will help us delineate the scope of Xin Zhiye's activities."
"yes."
The two went together to interrogate Tomihisa Kengo.
He already knew that Xin Zhiye was dead.
The whole person is very scared now.
I feel like I can't escape death.
After all, Xin Zhiye is valuable enough to die, and he has no value anymore.
Although he still has the status of a member of the International Intelligence Organization, he has realized clearly in the past few days that the Intelligence Department has no intention of letting him go.
But when I saw Kamikochi Akiko.
Tomihisa Kengo felt that there was no possibility of survival.
I want Shangkou Akiko to help me talk.
Kamikochi Akiko told him that if he wanted to survive, he should provide clues and carefully recall the time when Xin Zhiye left the embassy. Any details would do.
Tomihisa Kengo really wanted to live.
He has already spoken, if he is still dead.
Picture what?
It's better to remain silent like Xin Zhiye.
At least you can gain a reputation.
He is a traitor now, so he will die.
Kengo Tomihisa found it hard to accept.
So I started to remember carefully.
Don't forget that Kengo Tomihisa also has another level of identity: he is a member of the International Intelligence Organization.
When he looked at Xin Zhiye, he also had an observation look.
I want to grasp the intelligence of Japanese espionage agencies.
Leave it to the International Intelligence Organization and let him take credit.
Therefore, his observation of Xin Zhiye was actually very accurate.
Without this level of identity, Tomihisa Kengo might not be able to remember these things, but with this level of identity, he would subconsciously observe, explore, and even want to dig out the secrets behind Xin Zhiye.
So under the threat of death.
Tomihisa Kengo began to recall carefully.
Neither Akiko Kamiguchi nor Song Shutang said anything to disturb him. Kengo Tomihisa had only told news about Japanese spies before, and some details were not mentioned.
Because he still imagined that the international intelligence organization would rescue him and leave.
But now that he understands his situation, Tomihisa Kengo wants to save himself.
After a long while, Tomihisa Kengo said: "Three days ago, Xin Zhiye used the radio station in the embassy to receive the news from above. I was responsible for the lookout. This time it took a longer time. Although it was still very short, it was longer than usual. I guess there was
Important tasks.
I asked Xin Zhiye after he came out, but he didn't say anything, so I couldn't continue to ask."
In fact, you shouldn't ask.
But Tomihisa Kengo wanted to get more information.
It is best to leave it to the international intelligence organization behind it, so I ask.
Tomihisa Kengo continued: "On the fourth day, there was nothing going on in the embassy. Many people went to meetings. The off-duty time in the afternoon was relatively free. Xin Zhiye left at four o'clock. I took advantage of the time he left to sneak into the embassy.
We are using the radio in the embassy and want to observe whether he has left any clues in the communications room."
"It's a pity that I didn't find it. He was very careful, but he left the embassy so early because of his mission. There is no doubt about it. So I kept waiting for him to see when he would come back. I waited until the evening
Yecai came back by rickshaw."
It was also a rickshaw ride back, and it was delivered directly to the door of the embassy.
This is also a clue.
Tomihisa Kengo didn't mention it before.
It seems that Long Hao's investigation needs one more target.
He wrote everything down and motioned for Tomihisa Kengo to continue.
"Of course I pretended to be a coincidence when I went out for a walk in the yard and bumped into Xin Zhiye. In fact, I wanted to observe what he did throughout the day."
"Have you observed those clues?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
This is very critical.
Tomihisa Kengo said: "Xin Zhiye was neat and tidy at that time and did not feel dusty. I observed his leather shoes and they were also very clean. Not only the surface, but also the edges near the soles. I also observed that there was no dirty feeling.
, which shows that I have never been to a very remote place.”
These are very detailed observations.
Akiko memorized all the above.
"anything else?"
"He didn't buy anything. Maybe he was worried about revealing where he had been, but I found some white powder on his clothes, very fine, just behind his shoulders. In those days, the Department of Health was carrying out anti-plague sterilization work.
He may have passed through that area."
“Where is the anti-plague work?”
"The scope is moving, and the places to be disinfected are different every day. I went to the city a few days ago, and when I passed by Huangjia Pass, I was also contaminated with these things, so I knew what they were." Tomihisa Kengo said.
.
"Is there any other information?"
"No."
Tomihisa Kengo has provided all the information he can provide.
This is all he observed that day.
Kamikochi Akiko told him to stay in the interrogation department with peace of mind. If there was any progress in the investigation, he would be credited.
Leaving the interrogation section, the two went back to Song Shutang's office.
Kamikochi Akiko looked at the information provided by Tomihisa Kengo and said: "Based on these contents, we can first judge that Shinzhiye should not have crossed the river."
After all, you need to take a boat to cross the river.
There will inevitably be some water damage on the pier.
And the local roads after crossing the river are not very well constructed.
Most of them are dirt roads.
And will come back again.
So Xin Zhiye's shoes will inevitably be a little dirty.
But Tomihisa Kengo said that Xin Zhiye’s shoes were very clean.
In other words, the place where Xin Zhiye got off the rickshaw from the entrance of the embassy, and where he finally went, were relatively clean and tidy roads.
Then only urban areas have such conditions.
After the personnel of various agencies moved to Chongqing, the government repaired the streets and sewers in the city.
There are also personnel specifically responsible for street sanitation.
Song Shutang agrees with Kamikochi Akiko's inference.
Immediately afterwards, Kamikochi Akiko added: "As for the location of disinfection, we can ask the Department of Health to provide it. They should have records of their daily work. If we give them an accurate time, we should be able to get an exact answer, and we can judge
Come out, Xin Zhiye passes by somewhere, thereby further locking his scope."
This information is very important.
If all the information provided by Tomihisa Kengo works.
Plus the clues provided by the rickshaw driver Long Hao investigated.
In fact, Xin Zhiye's scope of activities can be compressed within a certain range.
Although it is difficult to find a needle in this river.
But there is a little more hope than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Inform Long Hao to investigate a rickshaw driver. It's best to find the rickshaw driver who brought Xin Zhiye back." Song Shutang said.
"Shall we go find Long Hao?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
After all, you are informing now and cannot tell others. After all, the four of them are responsible for this task now.
But you don’t know where to look for Long Hao.
"We'll wait until he comes back in the evening and let him investigate overnight." Song Shutang knew that Long Hao couldn't sleep at night unless he investigated.
"Then let's go to the Department of Health now?" Kamikochi Akiko felt that we should not waste time.
"good."
Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko went to the Department of Health together.
At the same time, he told Zhu Yue that when Long Hao came back, he would continue to check the rickshaw driver who took Xin Zhiye back to the embassy.
The two came to the Department of Health and met the staff inside.
After identifying yourself, tell them that you want to check the disinfection work records.
Because he is from the Intelligence Department.
The Department of Health is very cooperative.
Because the records of disinfection work are not a secret.
The staff knows.
The people who saw them disinfecting them on the street also knew it.
So it is very convenient to check.
Within the corresponding time, Song Shutang and the others obtained the information they wanted.
After obtaining the information, return to the Information Section.
Zhu Yue told them that Long Hao had come back first and was now going to investigate the rickshaw driver who took Xin Zhiye back to the embassy.
Then they can wait in the Information Section.
No one is in a hurry to get off work.
I waited until about eight o'clock in the evening.
Long Hao just came back.
Then the four people gathered in the conference room again and began to summarize today's investigation content.
Not to mention the content of today's investigation, I gained more than I imagined.
Long Hao was the first to report: "The investigation of the rickshaw pullers is progressing well. Both rickshaw pullers have been found. The rickshaw puller who sent Xin Zhiye away from the embassy is more difficult to find because he doesn't remember who he pulled over at what time.
But the rickshaw driver who takes Xin Zhiye back is easy to find. There are still only a few people traveling to Eling at that time of night, and there are no customers when they come back, so they usually ask for extra money, which impressed him deeply."
"Then how did you target the first rickshaw driver?" Zhu Yue asked.
"In those days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a meeting. There were many embassies in Eling, so more rickshaw pullers gathered. But the meeting started in the morning, and usually the rickshaw pullers had already left in the morning. This rickshaw puller
It's because we couldn't find anyone alive in Eling.
Originally, the rickshaw puller who had not picked up any work like him planned to go back to the city directly, because the Eling Legation and the embassy's work here were basically unavailable today, and the people who were supposed to go to the meeting had already left.
He also wanted to go back with him, but he was quite tired during those few days, and the trip back and forth was in vain. Half a day was wasted there, so he thought of staying in Eling to try his luck and give himself some rest. Who knows what would happen?
He waited for a business deal." When Long Hao was investigating, he thought he would not be able to find the person. Unexpectedly, that period happened to be the time for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hold a meeting, but some clues were left behind.
This statement is corroborated by the information provided by Tomihisa Kengo, saying that someone from the embassy went out for a meeting.
Xin Zhiye chose this time to go out because important personnel in the embassy were probably not around. He went out to hide his identity from others. Unexpectedly, he found traces.
