There are currently seven goals, and it is impossible to sort them in order, so I picked two based on feeling.
Song Shutang, Shangguchi Akiko was in charge of a family living near Leizu Temple.
This family lived between Leizu Temple and Xiaoliang Pavilion. The original house here was destroyed in an air raid. After the reconstruction, the government unified planning and the yard was completely eliminated and built into houses.
Increase the occupancy population.
So there are a lot of houses available for rent here.
The family targeted was a couple.
The man is slightly older, according to the data, he is thirty-six years old.
The woman is younger at twenty-eight years old.
But this kind of age difference is very common nowadays and is not a cause for suspicion.
According to the investigation, it was found that the two of them came from the northwest, not because Bing Dao chose to leave their hometown, but to come to the mountain city to join relatives and friends.
I was able to rent this house with the help of my relatives and friends.
This relative is his cousin, who does some business in the mountain city, but needs to move around.
The business in the mountain city needs someone to take care of it.
He couldn't trust others.
Therefore, I asked my cousin to help me edit a book.
Naturally, his cousin didn't really want to come. The mountain city was prosperous now. After all, there was a huge influx of people, as were offices, companies, hospitals, shops, etc.
There may be a risk of air raids.
Secondly, prices in mountain cities continue to rise despite the government's efforts to control them.
But unfortunately his cousin gave him too much.
I brought my wife over here.
Song Shutang and the others have already checked this man's cousin, and he is indeed a businessman, so there is nothing wrong with him.
But it cannot reduce their suspicion.
Surveillance began to reveal that this man was helping his cousin take care of his business every day.
Women wash and cook at home.
It is not appropriate for Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko to act separately, which makes it impossible to monitor them separately.
Kamikochi Akiko also saw the problem and said: "I will stay here to monitor this woman, and you are responsible for monitoring the man. I will definitely not take the opportunity to escape."
Will he take the opportunity to escape?
It’s not based on what Akiko said above.
Song Shutang would not do such risky things. He thought for a moment and said, "Just keep an eye on this woman."
"Men don't care?"
"Women have more freedom of movement without having to work. If two people are lurking as spies, women are more suitable for tasks such as delivering intelligence."
"The two of them are husband and wife. If they are spies, then there is also a problem with their cousin's identity."
"But this cousin is not in the mountain city and has gone to other places. Otherwise, we can investigate more deeply."
The two men monitored and found that there was nothing unusual about the woman.
Wait until the man comes back in the evening.
They ate together.
Kamikochi Akiko said: "Would you like to hear if they have sex in the evening?"
If it is an intelligence agent pretending to be a couple and lurking there.
They definitely won't be in the same room.
Because they are not a real couple.
Moreover, private emotions are basically prohibited in intelligence agencies.
But this kind of roommate doesn’t happen every day.
Just because you can't hear anything in a short period of time doesn't mean there's something wrong with the two of you.
Song Shutang said: "Observe how they get along."
Instead of observing your roommates, it’s better to look at how they get along.
See if it's close or distant.
They will definitely show intimacy in front of outsiders.
But in a room with just them.
Not necessarily.
So Song Shutang and Kamiguchi Akiko did not leave at night, but used telescopes to observe.
They have also found a house.
I will rest here for the next few days to facilitate monitoring work.
The weather is hot now.
Very few windows are closed at night.
It would actually be weird if the windows were closed.
It can be regarded as a doubtful point and focused on observation.
But in the house that Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko observed, they only drew the curtains but did not close the windows.
This is normal.
Through the gap in the curtains, you can see the two of them sleeping in each other's arms.
Although we don't have the same room, we can still fall asleep hugging each other on such a hot day.
In fact, many issues have been explained.
"Is it necessary to continue monitoring?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
"Observe for two more days."
Song Shutang believed that the possibility of it being them was very low.
But to be on the safe side, we still need to observe it for a few more days.
During subsequent observations, we found that this man also brought back some daily necessities from his cousin's company every day.
Instead, the woman was worried that her cousin would be unhappy if he found out.
The man said it was okay.
It doesn't matter if you come all the way to take care of your business and get some things.
The man said these words without lowering his voice. Song Shutang heard them on the street.
At this time, Song Shutang went back and called Kamikochi Akiko.
Indicates that observation can be given up.
There is nothing wrong with this family.
But they did not go back to the Intelligence Department directly, but went to Zhu Yue and Long Hao.
Because a range was defined, all seven families were within this range, and the two groups of people were not far apart.
Seeing them coming, Long Hao asked: "Why are you here?"
"The suspects have been eliminated from one household."
"So fast?"
"Where are you here?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
Long Hao said: "There should be no problem, but the team leader said to observe more."
Zhu Yue, like Song Shutang, wanted to be careful.
At least make sure there are no problems with the excluded ones.
This way you won't have to wait until all seven households have been eliminated before you have to investigate again.
"You can start the next one directly." Zhu Yue said to Song Shutang and the others.
Start monitoring the next one directly.
Song Shutang selected a couple with children.
Why choose this one?
It's not that I think they are suspicious.
Rather, the house they were looking for when monitoring the first household was not far from the couple with their children. Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko did not need to find another house and could start working directly.
"This household." Song Shutang said.
I also told Zhu Yue to prevent them from repeating it.
After a brief chat with Song Shutang, he left.
They returned to the room to rest for a while, and then began to investigate the new family.
A young couple.
According to previous surveys, the male was 26 years old and the female was 22 years old.
The child is only eight months old.
The man came to Shancheng due to a job transfer, and the woman followed him. The man now works in a company, and the woman takes care of her children at home.
The company I work for deals in goods such as cotton and linen.
There is a new job of importing rubber, and the man is a staff member in this area.
There is no problem with the survey company.
This man had spent time in Southeast Asia, so he was valued.
"Are we still only monitoring women?" Kamikochi Akiko asked.
"right."
"But this woman is different from the woman in the first family. She has to take care of the children, so it may not be convenient for her to pass on transfer information."
"We don't need to observe whether she has passed on the transfer information, we only need to observe whether she can take care of the child." Song Shutang said.
They are all intelligence workers.
We all know we cannot fall in love.
Not to mention getting pregnant and having a baby.
Although it may help you cover, the probability of this happening is very small.
Therefore, if it is a spy couple with a child, there is a greater chance that the child was found temporarily.
This is different from the lurking in the early years.
In the early years, the purpose of lurking as a spy was to take root in life.
Husband and wife are real, and so are children.
But nowadays, most of the Japanese spies lurk in action groups, and this situation basically does not happen.
And the child is in the hands of spies.
They were exposed and caught.
The child fell into the hands of the Intelligence Department.
Their biological flesh and blood, isn’t this a weakness?
Therefore, even if it is to prevent them from being caught by the intelligence department, there are few real situations.
Therefore, observing whether this woman can take care of children is actually the key.
"You can still learn if you don't know how to take care of children." Kamikochi Akiko felt that she should prepare for this in advance.
It is impossible to lurk with a child without knowing what to do.
"There's a difference between learning and actually raising a child from scratch."
"Do you still understand this?" Kamikochi Akiko felt that she was somewhat impressed by Song Shutang.
"Know a little bit."
In this case, let’s start observing the process of raising children.
In fact, it is not easy to bring up children.
Especially one person.
As they observed, they found that this woman took care of her children very well.
Although the man's job is decent, he has just arrived in the mountain city and has to deal with food and accommodation problems. In addition, prices in the mountain city have risen somewhat, and his life is not very rich.
But women still try to save as much as possible and at the same time try to provide good things for their children.
When a man comes home after a tiring day at work, he will wipe away his tiredness when he sees his children and his wife, holding the children and playing with them.
After some observation, there is no problem.
Song Shutang asked Shangkou Anxizi to join Zhu Yue and others.
Then I followed and monitored the man alone for two days.
No problem was found either.
This last household is also excluded.
Long Hao and the others also excluded two households.
Although they eliminated the first household slower than Song Shutang and the others, they eliminated the second household faster than Song Shutang and the others because while monitoring the second household, Long Hao discovered that the man had a mistress outside.
Did you have a mistress when you first came to the mountain city?
In fact, it already existed.
But the mistress also came to Shancheng.
After a quick check, it was clear that this was definitely not a spy.
Japanese spies are very disciplined and will not do such unnecessary things.
Because this doesn't help much with lurking.
In order to further confirm, Long Hao even deliberately disclosed his mistress's information to this woman, which naturally caused a fuss.
If he was a spy, it might be a matter of debate whether he would make a fuss or not.
So Long Hao and the others eliminated it faster.
They chose another family.
Currently there are only two households left.
Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko made a new choice and chose another family to take care of their children.
That is the home where the child is one year old.
The couple in this family are about the same age as the previous ones.
The man was a reporter who was in Peiping before and then in Jinmen, a mountain city that he came to again and again.
I've been looking for a job for a while but haven't been hired by any newspaper yet.
Some people in the journalist circle know him.
After all, this circle is not big, so we naturally know each other well.
He had some savings, so he could still rent a house and eat.
But it's not a long-term solution.
So I used to go out every day to look for work, and at the same time I contacted my former journalist friends, hoping to give them a few words of help.
But there are actually many reporters in mountain cities.
Each major newspaper also has its own reporters.
If you are not very famous, you will not recruit people suddenly. After all, the pressure to survive is high.
Nowadays, there are so many newspapers publishing so many newspapers in mountain cities, and the pressure of competition is not small.
While a woman is raising children, she also has to do some sewing and mending work to supplement the family income.
Seeing that he could not join the newspaper immediately, the man began to ghostwrite articles and reports. If he was selected, he would also receive a commission.
So most of the time the couple and the children are at home.
Man writes something in the room during the day.
Women have to sew and mend.
Most of the time, children just sit on the floor and crawl around.
"Investigation data shows that this person was a reporter a long time ago." Kamikochi Akiko said.
"I'm afraid that this person used his identity as a reporter a long time ago and is a spy."
"Then this time he can just use his identity as a reporter to lurk in the mountain city. Why would he bring a wife and children with him?"
"In this way, the woman's identity can be protected, and the man's identity will be safer. After all, the Japanese spy agency has suffered a lot in the past few times." Song Shutang felt that the logic made sense.
So be sure to remain skeptical before ruling it out.
After a few days of observation, there was no problem.
Although she encountered some difficulties in life, she still tried her best to take care of her children.
Men also contributed in many ways.
Song Shutang also read the manuscript later and found that it was written seriously.
As for women's mended clothes.
Song Shutang also observed that the stitches are very regular, and it seems that he often does this work.
But Long Hao and the others have already eliminated the previous people.
Now let's monitor and observe the last household.
In other words, if Song Shutang feels that there is no problem with this family.
Long Hao felt that there was nothing wrong with what they were observing now.
So that means everything has been eliminated.
This is the situation that everyone least wants to see.
On the evening of the second day, Long Hao and Zhu Yue came over, and they had already eliminated the last family.
Now let’s ask about the situation in Song Shutang.
Kamikochi Akiko said helplessly: "This family seems to have no problem."
"That means everything has been ruled out?" Long Hao frowned and said.
This is not good news.
But Song Shutang said: "This family cannot rule it out yet."
"What did you find?" Zhu Yue asked.
"There are no specific findings, but it just feels a bit strange."
"Although this reporter has some savings, they moved to the mountain city and rented a house. In fact, they had very little left. They also had to raise a child. This life is very stressful, especially with the rising prices in the mountain city. Your savings
It may be greatly reduced tomorrow.
But the two of them never had a single quarrel, or even a quarrel. They always worked together to help each other. It’s not that it’s strange for husband and wife to share joys and sorrows, but they were in this strange environment, faced with this situation, and had to take care of their children every day.
, will definitely affect their mood, but they have never quarreled. Either they are in a good mood and trust and love each other, or there is something wrong."
Song Shutang is not saying that this cannot be the case.
Rather, there needs to be an explanation.
Either they have a really good relationship and firmly believe that they can overcome difficulties together.
Or it's just doubtful.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Yue felt that it made sense.
Moving a family, raising children, and finding a job are all very energy-consuming.
It's normal for your mood to be affected in the short term.
This is a situation that exists for most people, but Song Shutang and Kamikochi Akiko observed and found that this family did not have such a situation.
Then we need to investigate in depth to see what the specific reasons are.
