Looking at the book in his hand, Zhang Hongxin checked it carefully again and found that this book had obvious signs of frequent use. The paper was slightly yellowed in some places. When turning the pages, the paper was not as tough as the paper in the previous books.
It was obviously caused by turning it over and over.
After looking at the cover, I saw that it was a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, printed by Shanghai Dazhong Bookstore. This was obviously not something Liang Yuanbing would like, because he had just seen a copy of The Art of War, and there was no trace of reading it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongxin took down the art of war book he just saw, came to Xu Guyu, and said: "Section Chief, take a look at these two books."
Xu Guyu heard this, took the two books, read them, and said with a smile: "Not bad! I have made progress. I know how to draw inferences from one example. It seems that the code book should be this Sun Tzu's Art of War."
After saying that, Xu Guyu looked at Lin Wenhua and the two of them, and said: "You guys check it again, check all the books, and I'll check this book carefully."
After saying that, Xu Guyu took the book to the desk and flipped through the pages to see if he could find anything else.
Seeing this situation, Lin Wenhua and Liao Tinghui continued their work and then started to investigate. Unfortunately, after checking all the books, they found no more matching ones.
Looking at Lin Wenhua and the other two people who came to him empty-handed, Xu Guyu said with some doubts: "What? There are no more matching ones?"
"No more..." Lin Wenhua smiled bitterly, shook his head, and explained: "Some of the books on top have been there for who knows how many years, and you can see dust as soon as you open them.
Although some of them don’t have much dust, you can still tell from the pages that they haven’t been used much.”
Xu Guyu heard this and said with a smile: "It seems that this person is even stupider than I thought! The books have been used like this, and they don't know how to change them."
Hearing this, Zhang Hongxin asked: "Section Chief, we found this book so easily. Is it a trick of these people? To confuse us?"
After hearing this, Xu Guyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Hongxin, it doesn't matter if these people are just trying to confuse us.
Even if the code book is not the one in my hand, I can now determine which one in this bookshelf it is. At worst, we can move all the books back to the telecommunications room.
They have the encrypted numbers, and as long as they decipher the numbers, they can naturally find out the real codebook..."
As he spoke, Xu Guyu's speaking speed slowed down, as if he had thought of something.
Xu Guyu slapped his head and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, Wenhua, hurry up and have someone check the phone numbers related to the two female reporters from the newspaper and send them to the telecommunications room.
With the phone number as a reference, their cracking will definitely be faster. I didn't think of this just now. I made a mistake..."
After hearing this, Lin Wenhua did not make arrangements immediately. Instead, he asked: "Section Chief, how about letting the people from the Intelligence Group 2 do this? They should be able to investigate faster than us, and they may even have ready-made information on hand."
telephone number."
After hearing this, Xu Guyu didn't hesitate and nodded immediately, saying: "Okay, you can hurry up and make arrangements!"
Xu Guyu naturally knew the meaning of Lin Wenhua's words, which was to give part of the credit to the second intelligence team.
Xu Guyu naturally had no objections. After all, they would inevitably cooperate with each other in the future, and this time they were used as bait. Naturally, those who should be compensated still need to be compensated.
After Lin Wenhua went down to make arrangements, Xu Guyu had all the books on the bookshelf taken down and put away in order, and then transported together with the bookshelves to the telecommunications room.
After doing this, Xu Guyu and his team checked the yard again. After confirming that nothing was missing, they left a few people to carry the belongings and valuables inside and headed towards the clinic.
Mingde Western Medicine Clinic is not far from the residence of Zhong Deming, that is, Taro Nishino. The residence is only one or two hundred meters behind the clinic.
Xu Guyu and his group did not rush directly to the residence, but arrived at the clinic first. Because the residence was in an alley, cars could not necessarily drive in. Instead, there was an alleyway directly to the residence behind the clinic.
Looking at the clinic in front of him, Xu Guyu couldn't help but admire the Japanese spies' generosity. To open a clinic and directly buy a two-story building, it was equivalent to a small hospital.
Xu Guyu took a few glances, then stopped sighing and led everyone quickly into the clinic. The people who stayed here immediately came to report the situation.
The clinic has been almost searched by them. Although they have found some results, they only found some weapons and ammunition, and not much else.
However, Xu Guyu and others didn't pay much attention to it, because they already knew the situation from Zhong Deming, and all the secret things were hidden in their residence.
Xu Guyu and others got to know the situation of the clinic, then went out from the back door of the clinic, entered the alley, and walked towards Zhong Deming's residence.
This area is an area where buildings and brick houses are combined. However, the buildings are mostly one or two stories, and the brick houses are mostly ordinary houses. There are few yards as soon as you enter, and Zhong Deming's residence is the first one you enter.
courtyard.
Starting from the clinic, Xu Guyu and others didn't even take a minute to arrive at the residence, opened the lock of the hospital door, and a group of people filed in.
Because of Zhong Deming's confession, Xu Guyu and others did not waste any effort and took out all kinds of things in the courtyard, including weapons and ammunition, gold and silver and other property.
Of course, morphine was definitely indispensable. Xu Guyu and others took out two large boxes, which contained prepackaged bottles, small bottles, and large glass bottles.
Even though they knew about the existence of these things in advance, when they saw the real objects, the faces of the group were still very ugly.
Looking at these things, Lin Wenhua asked Xu Guyu: "Section Chief, what should we do with these things?"
"Take it back! Aren't these people using these to deal with us? We also let them have a taste of these things."
Hearing Xu Guyu's words, Lin Wenhua did not object. Although the people being controlled betrayed them, what he hated most were the instigators.
Liao Tinghui on the side looked at the two boxes of morphine in front of him, frowned, walked to the box, picked up a small bottle, put it to his nose and smelled it gently.
Seeing Liao Tinghui's unusual behavior, Xu Guyu also came over and asked: "Old Liao, did you find something?"
After hearing this, Liao Tinghui replied: "Chief Xu, there is something wrong with the amount of morphine. It is too much. This large glass bottle is enough for the people they control to use it for a long time.
Moreover, the content of morphine in this vial is wrong. The people they control should be using specially formulated morphine, but the content in this vial is standard, and it looks like something on the market.
It seems that Zhong Deming is not as honest as we thought, there must be something unsaid."
After hearing this, Xu Guyu said with a livid face: "Old Liao, what do you mean, these people may still be selling morphine?"
Liao Tinghui nodded and replied with a gloomy face: "It should be right, and the morphine crystals in this big bottle are of very high purity and are not something on the market.
Either it was provided to them by Ttech, or it was made by them themselves. I prefer the latter because Zhong Deming has such ability."
After hearing this, Xu Guyu roared: "Check, even if you turn this place over, you still have to find this place for me."
When Lin Wenhua and others saw this, they immediately called out to their men, took out the metal detectors, and carefully searched every inch of the yard.
Seeing that his men were moving, Lin Wenhua returned to Xu Guyu and heard Xu Guyu say: "Old Liao, have the people in Wangting started to turn back?"
"No, do we need to let them continue to torture Zhong Deming?"
Hearing Liao Tinghui's words, Xu Guyu was just about to say continue, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words and said: "Forget it, let's deal with it after the person is escorted back, otherwise the injury will be too serious and the escort will be in trouble."
Hearing this, Liao Tinghui nodded and replied: "Then I'll let them come back as quickly as possible! It was originally scheduled for tomorrow morning, but now I'm asking if they can come back overnight."
After hearing this, Xu Guyu said: "Let them come back as quickly as possible! Buy the first-class tickets and lock them in the sleeper compartment. Try not to let too many people see them."
"This... Section Chief Xu, the first-class carriage plus a sleeper berth is not cheap! It will cost one or two hundred oceans."
Hearing Liao Tinghui's words, Xu Guyu said: "Don't worry about money. We have gained a lot this time. We can just withdraw from it when the time comes. What we need is confidentiality."
"Okay, I'll go and notify them now." After Liao Tinghui finished speaking, he called one of his subordinates and gave him instructions to inform Wang Mingkun.
Trains in this era generally had three classes of carriages, third class, second class, and first class. The pricing was based on the one-two-four system or the one-two-three system, that is, second class was twice as much as third class, and first class was three times as much as third class.
Or four times.
The line from Nanjing to Shanghai adopts the one-two-four system, third class is 2.5 yuan, second class is 5 yuan, and first class is 10 yuan. There are attached sleepers in the second-class first-class carriage, but it requires extra money.
Although the first-class carriage from Wangting to Nanjing costs less than ten yuan, with the sleeper berth and the fact that Liao Tinghui has a lot of manpower there, the cost of two hundred yuan is much less.
As soon as Liao Tinghui finished making arrangements, the person in charge of the search came to report that they had found the place.
In the woodshed, looking at the hole in front of him and the stairs leading below, Lin Wenhua quickly motioned to his men to go down and check. After confirming that there was no problem, Xu Guyu and the others entered the basement with flashlights.
When you get to the bottom, the first thing that catches your eye is the various glass bottles and jars that are reflected by the row of electric lights on the roof of the basement.
The basement is not wide, only about two and a half meters, but it is very long. It should be about ten meters long, but it looks a bit like an tunnel. On one side of the basement, there is a row of long tables, and there are
Various bottles and jars.
After a search, Lin Wenhua and the others found a batch of finished and semi-finished morphine, as well as several boxes of large cigarettes as raw materials. The rest were various drug-making tools, making it a complete drug den.
