Long Hao continued to talk about today’s investigation clues.
"The rickshaw driver who sent Xin Zhiye away from Eling said that it was already afternoon and he planned to go back to rest after finishing the order. He was not very comfortable, so he clearly remembered that Xin Zhiye was driving from Linjiang Road to Linjiang Zheng.
Get off the bus on the street, because it’s near the coachman’s house.”
"Linjiang Main Street!" Kamikochi Akiko immediately found Linjiang Main Street on the map and marked it.
The map of the mountain city is now very familiar to her.
It can be seen that she did not waste her time in the Information Section.
As a professional intelligence worker, there is no problem with Akiko Kameguchi’s professionalism.
Although Xin Zhiye got off the bus at Linjiang Main Street.
But you can't tell that this is his destination.
Long Hao continued: "The rickshaw driver who sent Xin Zhiye back to Eling asked for a higher price that day because it was already evening. It would take a long time to go to Eling and back again, so he was also very interested in this item.
Things are remembered more deeply.
He said he picked up Xin Zhiye from the Shenxian Gate on Zhongzheng Road and sent him back to Eling."
Kamikochi Akiko marked the mouth of the immortal.
But his brows were slightly furrowed.
The span from south to north is huge.
It is considered to be from the Jialing River to the Yangtze River.
Xin Zhiye was too cautious.
Long Hao also said: "I don't know what Xin Zhiye did that day, but it was indeed from Linjiang Street to Zhongzheng Road, which is almost a crossing."
"What time did Xin Zhiye arrive at Linjiang Street, and when did he get on Zhongzheng Road?" Zhu Yue asked.
"I asked the coachman about the detailed time, but they couldn't remember it clearly and could only provide an approximate time. But I judged that the time would be a bit tight if we walked." Long Hao said.
"In other words, Xin Zhiye may have taken a rickshaw from Linjiang Street to Zhongzheng Road?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
"It can also be a bus. There are buses on this route."
"This is not easy to check," Zhu Yue said.
Be it a rickshaw or a bus.
You can't even investigate.
Unlike Eling, which has a clear and rare destination.
The number of rickshaw pullers in the city is extremely large every day, and there are even more rickshaw pullers.
You have no way of knowing what car Xin Zhiye got in.
But it is indeed within the urban area, which can also explain why Xin Zhiye's shoes are clean.
After all, I switched to a rickshaw midway, so maybe the walking distance wasn't that far.
Long Hao finished explaining the clues he had investigated.
Kamikochi Akiko got up and said: "Deputy leader Song and I went to the Department of Health to inquire and learned that they only had one disinfection team that day. The area responsible for disinfection was near the small school grounds and they worked there all day."
As he spoke, he marked the small school field on the map.
Look at the three locations on the map.
Zhu Yue said: "From Linjiang Street to Shenxiankou, you should take Linjiang Heng Street, pass Confucius Pond, go through Youshi Street, Guihua Street, and Yangliu Street to reach Shenxiankou. You will not pass by the small school field at all."
"That is to say, after Xin Zhiye got off the rickshaw at Linjiang Street, he went to Xiaoxiaochang to complete his purpose, and then went to Shenxiankou to take a rickshaw." Long Hao said.
"Linjiang Street and Shenxiankou must be some distance from Xin Zhiye's destination. He deliberately chose the pick-up and drop-off locations to hide his identity."
"Then he must have passed by Xiaoxiaochang, so the scope of his activities should be the area east of Xiaoxiaochang."
"But how big is this range?" Long Hao asked.
"Xin Zhiye didn't appear in Shenxiankou for a long time. He took a detour through Xiaoxiaochang and probably took transportation. It is estimated that he passed Xiaoxiaochang from Linjiang Street and then passed Xiaoxiaochang to Shenxiankou. Assuming that according to the rickshaws throughout the whole journey,
Viewed on foot.
It reaches Jiangjia Lane in the north, Central Park in the south, Xiaoxiaochang in the west, and Temple Street in the east."
A range was drawn on the map by Kamikochi Akiko.
Although the rickshaw driver could not remember the specific time from Eling to Linjiang Street.
But according to the daily working habits of rickshaw pullers, this time can be estimated.
Then based on the time Xin Zhiye arrived at the embassy provided by Tomihisa Kengo, we can calculate the approximate time to get on the bus from Shenxianguchi, and then we can make a judgment about the intermediate time.
Based on this determined time, such a range can be locked.
This range is larger.
After all, Xin Zhiye couldn't let the rickshaw driver carry him the whole way.
You must get off the car and walk after getting close to the target.
Therefore, this range must include the place where Xin Zhiye appears.
This range can be said to be much smaller than the previously defined range.
It can only be regarded as a part of the old city.
But this is a downtown area.
The population is very dense, and the houses even more so.
Even if the scope is narrowed to this point, how can the four of them investigate.
There are still great difficulties.
"Can it continue to shrink?" Zhu Yue asked.
"Unlikely." Kamikochi Akiko shook her head.
Xin Zhiye couldn't find the means of transportation he took in the downtown area, so the scope could not be narrowed down blindly.
No one is sure.
Song Shutang stared at the map and said: "This range is still too big for us. Even if we work separately, it will be difficult to gain anything."
"I'm afraid that regardless of the intelligence leakage and involving the Intelligence Department, the result will be the same." Zhu Yue said.
Now you have no idea what Xin Zhiye has done in this scope.
You can only investigate whether anyone has seen Xin Zhiye.
But if there are already Japanese espionage intelligence personnel within this range, they will definitely be alert to an investigation like yours and will definitely be transferred in advance.
So it’s not a matter of too many people and too few people.
Everyone will definitely not give up.
But I want a more efficient way.
Song Shutang stared at the map and looked at it again and said: "There are many small roads in this area, and it is not easy to travel by rickshaw, but if you walk, Xin Zhiye can actually complete all this in a limited time."
"You're saying that Xin Zhiye might choose to walk?"
"According to the time provided by Tomihisa Kengo, it was already very hot in the mountain city at that time. Although it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in the city, the sun was still very hot. If Xin Zhiye chose to take a rickshaw, he should have opened the awning.
It is a very good choice whether it is to shade the sun or cover people's eyes and ears, but if the awning is opened, it is impossible for his body to be contaminated with disinfectant powder when passing by the elementary school ground, but there is it on him, and it is most likely that he was walking.
"
Song Shutang's inference has certain basis.
After all, awnings do more than just cover the sun.
It can also make Xin Zhiye safer, so he has no reason not to open it.
If it were opened, there would be no disinfectant powder on the body.
"Is it possible that he took a rickshaw there and then walked back, so there is disinfectant powder on his body?" Long Hao put forward a hypothesis.
But Kamikochi Akiko shook her head and said: "No, according to the information provided by the Department of Health, they had finished their work at six o'clock, so the disinfectant powder must have been contaminated by Xin Zhiye when he went there."
"If calculated based on walking, this range can be reduced." Zhu Yue said immediately.
After all, walking is considered a path.
The scope will certainly not be as large as it is now.
And since you choose to walk, it means the destination is not far away.
In other words, if you get off at Linjiang Street, you are almost at your destination. Xin Zhiye chose the safer way of walking.
This time the marking work on the map was completed by Song Shutang.
After all, although Akiko Kamiguchi is already very familiar with the roads in the mountain city, when it comes to small roads, she is naturally not as good as Song Shutang.
Mark the four locations again.
The scope is further reduced.
Song Shutang said: "Xin Zhiye may have appeared within this range."
"How about trying to investigate?" Long Hao asked.
This is already the limit that can be reduced.
It's still difficult though.
But you have to try.
Zhu Yue said: "If we can determine what Xin Zhiye did, it will actually be more convenient for investigation."
If Xin Zhiye is going to meet people.
Then you have to investigate who has seen him.
And then see who he meets.
Suppose Xin Zhiye is going to deal with the problem of house rental.
You can check to see if any houses have been successfully rented on that day.
Knowing exactly what was done will facilitate investigation.
But now you can't grasp what Xin Zhiye did, and Tomihisa Kengo doesn't know this issue either.
"The contact between Xin Zhiye and the Japanese spy agency can be completed in the embassy, and even if Miki Kouta leads the Japanese spy team to sneak into the mountain city, the Japanese spy agency will not arrange for them to meet, so the possibility of contact is very small. I
I think renting a house is more likely." Kamikochi Akiko made assumptions based on her own spy behavior.
Song Shutang also believes that this is more likely.
"Let's first check if there are any houses for rent that day." Song Shutang said.
"Through an intermediary?"
"It is unlikely that Xin Zhiye will choose an intermediary." Zhu Yue felt that Xin Zhiye would not want to leave his own information.
"Maybe he used false information?" Long Hao said.
After all, housing in urban areas is very difficult to rent.
It's no joke that a room is hard to find.
There are basically very few private houses for rent, and even if they are available, they will be sold quickly.
Only intermediaries may stock up on houses.
After all, the more demand, the higher the value.
They loved seeing such a rare sight.
Therefore, in order to rent a house as quickly as possible, it is better for Xin Zhiye to choose an agency.
Of course you can use a fake identity to sign the contract.
It shouldn't be difficult for Xin Zhiye to get a fake identity.
"Then start the investigation from the intermediary." Zhu Yue said.
"yes."
"We will split up. Long Hao and I will be in a group, Song Shutang will be in a group, and Akiko and you will be in a group." Zhu Yue made arrangements.
Because there are many real estate agencies now.
After all, there are always needs.
Then there are people who provide services in this area.
Therefore, if you act separately, you can grasp the information faster.
It's getting late today, so everyone has a rest.
On the next day, we started to work separately to investigate the information from the intermediary.
According to the clues they had, there were as many as seven intermediaries, large and small.
Some serve the grassroots.
Some serve wealthy people.
But these are all within the scope of their investigation.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, it is necessary to alert the enemy.
The four people did not use their identities as intelligence officers to investigate.
Instead, I borrowed the certificate from the relevant department to check their rental records.
Turn every page.
But in fact, they intentionally recorded the rental situation of the house on the day they needed it.
And information about people renting houses.
In this way, the intermediary will not be suspicious and will naturally not contact the tenant.
Everyone in Song Shutang looks at it. Even if you contact the tenant, do you know who to contact?
This information is not difficult to obtain.
In the evening, the two groups met in the Intelligence Section.
It's still a summary of the clues we have so far.
Long Hao was the first to say: "We went to four agencies, and the number of houses for rent that day was 25, but there were only nine within our target range."
This trading volume is very high.
It can be seen that there are many people in demand for houses in urban areas.
After Kamikochi Akiko waited for Long Hao to finish speaking, he also stood up and said: "We went to three houses. The number that day was twenty, and the number within the range was six."
"Fifteen rooms!" Zhu Yue thought this number was not bad.
"This is the tenant's information." Long Hao took out the information on the nine people on his side, and Kamikochi Akiko also took out the other six people.
"First investigate whether these people had just arrived in the mountain city at that time, or whether they had already lived in the mountain city for a while and just changed their lives in another house." Zhu Yue said.
This way you can exclude some of them.
They can investigate the remaining people in depth and eliminate some of them.
They did not directly show Xin Zhiye's photos to the agency staff for identification, mainly to prevent their intentions from being revealed and to let the Japanese spies know in advance.
And they all thought that Xin Zhiye would disguise himself and the agency staff might not recognize him.
"We are responsible for eight and you are responsible for seven. The investigation will begin tomorrow." Zhu Yue arranged the work for tomorrow.
Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko also got the seven-man list.
The next investigation will be slower.
They need to check it out by themselves.
Because we have to keep it secret, we can't ask others to help.
Therefore, it took three days to complete the work.
Among the fifteen people, eight people have been eliminated.
In other words, eight families.
Because they have lived in the mountain city for a long time, at least a year, and they just changed houses, so they have nothing to do with Japanese spies.
Then there might be a spy hidden among the remaining seven people.
But none of these seven people are single.
They all have families and families.
The least common ones are a couple.
However, Japanese spies may also be lurking in disguise as husband and wife, so these people cannot be excluded.
"How to eliminate these seven people?" Long Hao asked.
"Can someone with children lower their suspicion?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
After all, it's easy for you to pretend to be a couple.
But it's hard to pretend to be a child.
Because the child is too young and doesn’t understand anything.
It is very likely that you will say the wrong thing unintentionally, which will not only not help your lurking work, but may also cause harm.
Such unstable factors should not occur.
But Song Shutang said: "There are two families here with children, but their children are too young. One is only eight months old, and the other is just one year old. He can't walk or talk, so there is no accident.
There is a possibility of exposure, so this is a good cover for lurking, rather than a destabilizing factor."
If the child is three or four years old.
Seven or eight years old.
Maybe it's an unstable factor.
But the child is still too young.
What it does is it is helpful.
"So their suspicion cannot be reduced." Zhu Yue said.
After all, the Japanese spy agencies have suffered losses many times in Shancheng.
The current lurking must be more cautious, and the factor of children may be added to provide a more perfect cover.
"Let's monitor and investigate one by one." Long Hao felt that since the suspicion could not be reduced now, he could only investigate one by one.
"It's better to split up, it's faster." Zhu Yue said.
