Guo Yongxin often goes to Lotus Pond to buy Xiangshan honey cakes?
There was a burst of excitement in his heart but he pressed it down forcefully. Song Shutang confirmed again and again: "How did you know that the Xiangshan honey cake bought by Guo Yongxin was sold by Lotus Pond, and couldn't it be purchased from other places?"
"It is definitely the Lotus Pond Bai's Zhongxian Xiangshan Honey Cake. I can recognize it as soon as I eat it." Gao Huaihai was extremely confident in what he had eaten.
Soon Gao Huaihai had no more information to provide and asked people to take him down. At the same time, he was warned not to tell anyone what happened today.
"It's definitely not a coincidence that Guo Yongxin has been buying Xiangshan honey cakes at Lotus Pond." Zhu Yue's hoarse voice was full of certainty.
Long Hao also said: "If the operator is really within the currently defined range, Guo Yongxin will not go out to buy Xiangshan Honey Biscuits from time to time even if he likes it. He will try to avoid too much contact with the operator, even if he
It’s not okay to show up nearby.”
"Gao Huaihai may have provided us with a crucial clue." Song Shutang believes that Xiangshan honey cake may be the key to breaking the situation.
"Go and have a look at the lotus pond." Zhu Yue made a quick decision.
The three of them immediately set off for the lotus pond.
The name of the lotus pond can be traced back to the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. The Minister of Rites lived here in "Hanyuan". There are two ponds in the garden where lotus are planted, and it has become famous over time.
Riding a rickshaw under the lotus pond, the three of them looked for a shop selling Xiangshan honey cakes.
Walk half a circle around the lotus pond and see the signboard on the north road.
Bai Shi Zhong County Xiangshan Honey Cake.
There were quite a few customers queuing up outside the door, and it looked like business was booming.
The three of them walked forward to queue up and chatted with the people waiting in front of them. They learned that this Xiangshan honey cake is a traditional snack in Zhongxian County. It is said that the original inventor was Bai Juyi, a literary figure in the Tang Dynasty. He was named "Xiangshan Jushi" because of his nickname.
Xiangshan honey cake.
This store first moved to the mountain city after being established in Zhongxian County. It claims to be a descendant of Bai Juyi. Several generations of ancestors have been engaged in this business and it has become a century-old brand.
In fact, the method is not complicated. The raw materials are honey, flour, and sesame oil. Wheat flour and honey are used to knead the dough. After fermentation, it is baked in an oven. The baked honey cake is crispy, fragrant, soft and delicious.
You can smell the fragrance even while queuing up.
But the three of them obviously didn't come here just for the pleasure of talking. After getting a rough understanding of the situation, they withdrew from the group and found a teahouse to sit down.
"The location of this store is very good, with Qixinggang on the left, Qigongju Street on the right, and a wide view of the main road." Song Shutang put down his tea cup and said.
"you mean?"
"Guo Yongxin most likely took the opportunity to buy Xiangshan Honey Biscuits to observe the wind here and protect the telegraph operators at work."
"Doesn't that mean the operator lives nearby?" Long Hao immediately looked around, but was careful not to make it obvious.
Zhu Yue did not look around but said: "Is our inference correct?"
"Assuming that the Japanese spy agent does live near the Lotus Pond, and Guo Yongxin needs to come to deliver the information after obtaining it, and at the same time he is responsible for protecting the agent at work, then he must give a reasonable explanation for his occasional visit to the Lotus Pond, in case
Unexpected needs.
It's a good excuse to come here to buy it as you like to eat Xiangshan honey cakes. At the same time, the location of the store is perfect. You can observe the situation of Qixinggang and Qingongju Street, and even the road passing through the Lotus Pond from below can be clearly seen.
It’s clear and a perfect place to watch the wind.”
Based on the current situation, Song Shutang believes that the possibility is extremely high.
First, Zhu Yue drew a map to delineate the area, assuming that he did not know anything about Xiangshan Honey Cake.
Secondly, Kang Hao followed Guo Yongxin and the other party was indeed walking in this direction.
Moreover, Guo Yongxin is responsible for protecting the operator, so when the operator is sending the report, he must observe the surrounding situation to see if anyone is coming to arrest and search, so as to promptly notify the operator and cover the evacuation at the same time.
Finally, when he showed up at the location where the telegraph operator lived, Guo Yongxin also had to explain to the outside world. You never know when you will meet an acquaintance, so explaining that you like to eat the Xiangshan honey cake here can save a lot of trouble.
Combined with these conditions, Song Shutang believes that the probability of success in inference is very high.
The whole process was that Guo Yongxin got the information from the corresponding mailbox and came to the Lotus Pond to hand it over to the operator. While the operator was sending the report, he queued up to buy Xiangshan Honey Biscuits and acted as a lookout. The operator informed Guo Yongxin about the approximate time it would take to send the report.
After the transmission was completed within the corresponding time, and there were no emergencies, he took the Xiangshan Honey Biscuits and left without seeing the operator again, and then waited for the next transmission of information.
Of course there is another possibility.
Guo Yongxin just likes to eat Xiangshan Honey Biscuits. This has nothing to do with the radio operator. It's all just your own clever reasoning.
Now it's all about choice.
Zhu Yue drank tea in silence and kept thinking in his mind.
Search or not?
The buildings that can be seen clearly from outside the shop door are clearly visible. If protected by the wind, the radio operators must be inside these buildings and can surround them and search the radio station.
However, if the judgment is wrong, a large-scale siege and search will most likely expose the operation. The operator will be alert and disappear, leaving no chance for investigation.
How to choose has become difficult.
After a cup of tea, Zhu Yue slapped the table and said, "Search!"
The scope was defined by him, and he had no reason to question it now.
Moreover, Song Shutang's analysis is very reasonable and can explain Guo Yongxin's behavior and psychology.
Investigations often require a more prompt decision.
After hearing that Zhu Yue decided to search, Song Shutang agreed.
Large-scale searches are risky.
But dragging is also risky.
When Guo Yongxin disappeared, the radio operator would inevitably notice it as time went by, and he would still face the problem of the other party's transfer.
"Go back to the section chief to ask for someone." Zhu Yue stood up immediately and said.
The search area is not small and there are many residents, so the three of them simply cannot complete the job.
As for staying and watching?
Staring at what?
You don’t even know who the other person is, so staring at him is useless, so you might as well go back together.
When they arrived at the Intelligence Department, Zhu Yue went to report to Shen Lushui, while Song Shutang and Long Hao returned to the office to wait for news.
The two of them sat on their own stools, facing each other.
Long Hao whispered: "If we search the radio station and capture the enemy operator, we will be very fast."
It was originally thought that the clues to Guo Yongxin's death were interrupted and that subsequent investigations would be more difficult to launch.
Who knew that in just a few days, the scope of the telegraph operator would be locked.
"It won't be too late for you to be happy when you really catch someone."
"I was thinking along the way that our idea is fine and we can definitely catch people."
"I'd like to lend you some good advice." Song Shutang was actually very confident in this reasoning.
After all, every behavior of Guo Yongxin needs a reasonable explanation.
I often buy Xiangshan Honey Biscuits.
Simply because you like to eat?
Song Shutang thought it would not be so simple.
In the office, Shen Lushui was also a little unprepared for Zhu Yue's search request.
After all, he told Bao Yiwei that the search might take some time, and he hoped that the director could give him a few days' grace and help him resist the blame from above.
Bao Yiwei understood the difficulty of the investigation and agreed to give him more time. However, in just two days, Zhu Yue had investigated such accurate clues and asked for a siege and search. Of course, Shen Lushui had to respond.
"Are you sure?" Shen Luchui asked.
"Not big." Zhu Yue said truthfully.
They are all inferred based on some known clues, and there is really no evidence to support them.
"Insist on searching?"
"Search." Zhu Yue did not change his opinion.
There would be no more new clues if he continued the investigation, but giving up on this search might miss a good opportunity. He wanted to give it a try.
