Sitting in the interrogation room, Shen Lushui asked directly to the point: "What is your job?"
"Transfer information." Du Changhai now had no chance of hiding anything.
"How to deliver?"
"Someone in the mountain city will hand over the information to me. I can just go to Yichang and hand over the information to others." Du Changhai's identity is like a traffic officer.
There may be more than one enemy radio station hidden in the mountain city.
However, using radio stations in mountain cities is risky. If the intelligence is transferred out of the mountain city to Yichang, these places do not have the ability to lock the location of the radio station, capture radio signals, and intercept radio intelligence in a short time. The risk of using the radio station to transmit intelligence is reduced.
And after leaving the mountain city, it will be easier to pass the blockade even if the intelligence is transmitted manually.
Du Changhai's status as a crew member can help him travel to Yichang at any time.
Because the workload of wooden ships in Chuanjiang is increasing day by day, it is not difficult to find a job to go to Yichang. There are basically ships coming and going every day.
"How can I give you the information from Shancheng?"
"There is a person codenamed 'Hunter Bee' who will contact me when he needs to pass on information. The contact information is an ordinary brown stone in the drainage channel in front of my house. Usually the stone will have the round end facing up. If he contacts me, the round end will face down. Put it in a specific place to prevent anyone from accidentally touching the stone." Du Changhai said frankly.
The stone was inconspicuous and would not attract anyone's attention. When Du Changhai returned home every day, he only needed to glance at the stone to know whether there was any information that needed to be conveyed.
"The stone shows the need to pass on information. What should you do?"
"Get the information from the newspaper box at the designated location."
"Not meeting the 'killer bee'?"
"No need to meet."
It would be best if the information can be transferred without meeting in person.
"Have you ever seen a 'tiger bee'?" Shen Lushui asked again.
"I've met." Although they didn't meet each other when passing on information, the two of them had met each other when they first worked together in the mountain city.
"Where do you live and what do you do? Do you know this information?"
"Not sure."
‘Higer Bee’ knows Du Changhai’s residence and work, which shows that ‘Higer Bee’ has a higher level than Du Changhai.
"Is the 'Butterbee' Japanese?"
"should be."
"Will he know about your arrest?" Shen Lushui asked the most critical point.
Du Changhai thought for a moment and said: "You have come to see me many times in the past few days, and you have also arranged for people to guard my residence. If he comes to move rocks, he will definitely notice it, and as there has been a large-scale investigation of wooden boats in Sichuan River recently, he will definitely Notice."
Hearing this, Shen Lushui and Song Shutang were both worried.
If the 'killer bees' notice it, it will be very difficult to catch someone.
However, the investigation was previously regarded as a homicide case and no espionage case was considered. Therefore, there were no confidentiality arrangements during the investigation process, making the current situation unavoidable.
"Where is the newspaper box?"
"News Box No. 4, Back Street, Jinya Lane." Du Changhai lives in Shajingwan, not far from Jinya Lane.
"Immediately send someone to keep an eye on the stone outside Du Changhai's house and the newspaper box at No. 4, Jinya Lane Back Street, and arrest them immediately if found." Shen Lushui gave the order directly.
There is a high probability that the 'killer bee' will be alert, but there is a small probability that it will not notice it yet.
Now we cannot give up on waiting for the arrest.
However, there are no confidentiality measures in this matter, and the Tiger Bee will definitely become suspicious, so if we can wait until he falls into the trap, it is most appropriate to arrest him immediately.
Zhu Yue stood up and left the interrogation room to arrange the arrest.
The interrogation continues.
"How to deliver information to Yichang?"
"There is a Changlongshan goods store not far from the dock. Just give the information to the people there." Du Changhai said.
There is no need to meet in person to convey information in a mountain city.
But when he arrived in Yichang, he needed to deliver the information to his doorstep.
After all, people in Yichang don't know when the intelligence will arrive, so it's hard to agree on a signal and location.
Du Changhai came to Yichang on a ship to work and did not have much free time, so it was more appropriate to set up an intelligence receiving point not far from the dock.
After hearing this, Song Shutang immediately reminded Shen Lushui: "Notify Yichang to close the net."
Shen Lushui naturally understood why Song Shutang was nervous.
If the 'Tiger Bee' knew that someone was guarding Du Changhai, he would have secretly inquired and found out that they were investigating Wang Qiang's death. At this time, the 'Tiger Bee' would not be too nervous, but would choose to wait and see what happens.
But when Du Changhai was arrested and taken to the military command bureau.
Can the 'Hunter Bee' still hold its own?
I'm afraid not.
Is the Military Control Bureau investigating murder cases?
From the perspective of 'Hibernator', the Intelligence Section of the Military Command Bureau cannot be so boring.
One would guess that it was Du Changhai's exposure that led to an investigation by the Military Command Bureau. As for Wang Qiang's death, perhaps it was just an excuse. Under such circumstances, what would happen to the 'Tiger Bee'?
It must be the first time to notify Yichang Changlongshan Goods Store to evacuate.
I arrested people last night until tonight.
It will take a full day for the news of the 'Tiger Bee' to reach Yichang.
Therefore, an arrest order must be issued as soon as possible.
The level of 'Higer Bee' is higher than that of Du Changhai, so he must know the situation of Changlongshan Goods Store in Yichang.
"Notify Yichang to arrest people immediately." Shen Lushui did not dare to delay.
Long Hao stood up and left, asking the Telecommunications Office to immediately send a report to Yichang to launch an arrest operation.
"How many people are there in the mountain goods store?" Song Shutang wanted to know the situation of the mountain goods store in advance.
"One boss and one buddy."
"Are both intelligence agents?"
"Yes, the boss's code name is 'Golden Scorpion', and the clerk's code name is 'Sand Spider'."
"Are there any weapons of mass destruction in the store?"
"should have."
"Catch up with Long Hao and tell them the situation, and ask the Telecommunications Department to inform the Yichang authorities that they need to be careful in arresting him."
"Yes." The interrogation department members immediately chased him out.
"Your code name?"
"'Spear Ant'"
"Are they all insects?" The codes for 'killer bees', 'golden scorpions', 'sand spiders' and 'spear ants' are all insects.
"We are a six-legged team." The things that Du Changhai was originally proud of were now revealed to him, but the torture device made him tremble now, and he had no choice but to do it.
Class Insecta, subphylum Hexapod, there is no problem in calling it the Hexapod group.
"Why is it named after an insect?" Song Shutang asked.
"Because their traces can be found in almost every corner of the world." Du Changhai wanted to say this proudly, but all he could say was dejected and extremely contradictory.
"The expectations for you are high enough."
"Yes." Du Changhai is often proud that a Chinese can participate in the Japanese intelligence team. He has long forgotten his ancestral roots.
"How many people are there in the Six-legged Group?" Song Shutang was not surprised by people like him, and he was not alone.
"I am not sure."
"You don't know?"
"The Tiger Bee should know."
To put it bluntly, Du Changhai's information ends at the 'Tiger Bee'. He knows the 'Golden Scorpion' and 'Sand Spider' below, but he doesn't know the situation above the 'Tiger Bee'.
But according to the information Du Changhai has now provided, there are people above the 'Hunter Bee', and the six-legged team is by no means limited to these four people.
The initial investigation was in the wrong direction.
As a result, there is no confidentiality work at all.
This has brought huge troubles to the current arrest work, and Song Shutang feels helpless.
But who would have thought before that this matter was related to Japanese spies?
"Why did you kill Wang Qiang?" Song Shutang began to ask about the cause of everything.
How could a member of the six-legged spy team kill someone on his own line of traffic? This is tantamount to a huge risk. Du Changhai has been working for several years and there is no way he would make such a mistake.
When Du Changhai mentioned this, annoyance appeared on his face.
"He should never read my newspaper." Du Changhai had hatred in his eyes.
"The information that Tiger Bee put in the newspaper box is a newspaper?" Song Shutang was curious.
Previously, when I heard the information in the newspaper box, I thought it was information written on paper, but now it looks like it is a newspaper.
Report the information?
This is somewhat bold.
And difficult to operate.
It is feasible to publish some secret codes for meetings and some simple information in newspapers. For example, when the three mailboxes of the previously arrested Oigawa Takashi were blown up, someone would publish an advertisement or missing person notice in the "Business Daily"
Inform him of the new mailbox location.
Simple information can be conveyed through newspapers.
But Du Changhai was responsible for the transmission of information.
The amount of information is sometimes very large. How to write newspapers?
Encryption is extremely difficult.
The most important thing is that if you choose to publish the newspaper, then everyone can buy the newspaper and read it. Why was Wang Qiang killed after reading the newspaper?
This is unreasonable!
Facing Song Shutang's doubts, Du Changhai explained: "Because this newspaper is different."
"How is it different?"
"It is not a uniformly printed and sold newspaper, but a special edition newspaper. Sometimes it is "New Sichuan Newspaper", sometimes it is "Manpower Weekly", or "Qibao".
"Special edition newspaper?"
"Most of the content in a newspaper is the same as that of newspapers on the market, but there will be a different article used to hide intelligence information."
Only then did Song Shutang and Shen Lushui understand.
The newspaper that Tiger Bee gave to Du Changhai looked the same as the newspapers available on the market, but there were differences hidden in it.
"To avoid search?" Shen Lushui asked.
Du Changhai nodded and said: "There are often people searching on the pier. It is extremely unsafe to carry information with you. The earliest cases were that people were searched, so the team began to think of ways."
Yamashiro did initially search and intercept many people delivering information at the dock, but they were not the six-legged group.
But these arrested people also sounded the alarm for them.
Finally, the 'Hipperse' came up with the idea of using newspapers to convey information.
Disguising the information in newspapers, Du Changhai only needs to wrap the dry food or snacks he carries with newspapers when going to the dock. In short, there is no need to hide them on his body and he can display them openly.
When encountering a search, the other party will only open the newspaper and look at the contents, but will not pay attention to the newspaper itself at all, because at a glance, it looks like a normal newspaper.
Secondly, most of the boat operators at the pier are working people and very few are literate. This method has not failed since its inception.
Song Shutang had to admit that the method was really clever.
Newspapers everywhere!
Used for wrapping!
Who could doubt it?
I'm afraid the person in charge of the search has no interest at all.
There is no need to worry after boarding the ship, who can read?
Show them to them and they won't understand. How can you find that one of the newspapers is different from the newspapers distributed and sold?
It can be considered an invincible position.
Something went wrong this time.
Wang Qiang looked at it.
Du Changhai sighed and said: "I used the newspaper to wrap the pancakes I brought from home. It was stained with oil and no one was interested in it. But Wang Qiang had nothing to do and opened the newspaper to read. At that time, I used the excuse that the pancakes were not available.
I wanted to take the newspaper back, but he said that he had read half of it at home and was impatient because he had not finished reading an article and would not give it back to me.
I was very nervous. If the half of the article he read happens to be an article about hiding intelligence, then this article cannot be found in this newspaper. Fortunately, Wang Qiang did not feel strange after reading the newspaper. It seems that he did not read it at home.
The part that was passed happened to be the replaced position, so it was just offset and I didn't notice anything was wrong with the newspaper."
In his early years, Wang Shan didn't want Wang Qiang to run a boat, so he sent him to study as a clerk trainee, so Wang Qiang knew how to read.
"Why did you kill him if he didn't notice?"
"I told Golden Scorpion and Sand Spider about this incident at Shanhuo Store. Everyone was worried that when Wang Qiang returned home and read the newspaper again in his free time, he would definitely find something wrong in it.
"
Wang Qiang has this newspaper at home.
Then there is a high possibility that he will go back and read it.
Secondly, it is very likely that after Wang Qiang went back, he chatted with his father Wang Shan about newspaper articles, which may not exist in the unified printing version. Although Wang Shan is illiterate, if he went out and chatted with others, wouldn't it be
Detected the problem.
After all, it is a risk.
‘Golden Scorpion’, ‘Sand Spider’ and Du Changhai all believe that there are risks.
In the end, the three of them negotiated to nip the risk in the bud.
As long as Wang Qiang cannot return alive, all these hidden dangers will be eliminated.
Create an accident.
This is not difficult for Du Changhai, who has been engaged in intelligence work for many years. Facts have proved that he did it without arousing anyone's suspicion. The police investigation did not pay attention to him at all.
Things were resolved very well.
But Du Changhai never expected that old things would be brought up again.
Not only did they lock in his identity as a murderer, but they also dug up his identity as a spy.
At first, Du Changhai didn't want to admit the murder, just because he didn't want to cause trouble. After all, why did you kill someone?
In the end, I was worried that being able to hold on to the torture device would be considered a strange sign, so I decided to just commit murder.
If he admits that he has committed a murder and is very likely to be sent back to the police station, then the 'Tiger Bee' may not have a chance to rescue him, but now everything is empty talk.
Wang Shan's three sons all died at the hands of the Japanese and traitors.
"Producing a unique newspaper is probably very difficult. Why not let you dictate the information directly?"
"I'm just worried about today's situation." Du Changhai said with a wry smile.
Orally?
Didn't he also get the information?
If he is caught.
The information was leaked directly.
Moreover, dictation takes time. Every time Du Changhai goes to Shanhuo Store, he may not stay for long, and he will set sail at any time after loading and unloading.
The solution the Six-legged team came up with was unexpected.
Surviving the search was a breeze.
Even if the hidden danger of Wang Qiang appeared by chance, it was solved neatly.
Du Changhai couldn't understand why he lost!
But the reality is that it was a complete loss.
The Intelligence Section of the Military Unification Bureau does not investigate spies and intelligence personnel, nor does it investigate criminal cases.
Even now, Du Changhai still finds it difficult to accept it.
It’s an unjust loss!
"Is there anything else I need to explain?" Shen Lushui ignored the pain in Du Changhai's heart.
"No."
"Don't the people who entered the customs together have anything to answer for?"
"They all entered customs alone. My earliest contact in the mountain city had already returned to the Northeast after I joined the Liuzu Group." Du Changhai's earliest contact was also from the Manchuria Railway Investigation Section.
Later, the Japanese made structural adjustments due to the war situation and established a number of new intelligence agencies. Many people from the Manchurian Railway Investigation Section returned to their base camp, such as Du Changhai's previous online.
The main reason is that if Du Changhai joins the Doihara Agency, he must cut off contact with the Manchuria Railway Investigation Section. The relevant personnel must return to Northeast China in accordance with disciplinary regulations to avoid mutual influence.
