On the way to the target point, Lin Mo, Yang Haicheng, and Liu Zhenshan all took Lin Mo's car, Yang Haicheng drove, and Lin Mo sat in the back seat, talking all the way, and the topic of conversation came to Lin Mo.
Mo's car.
"Lin Mo, although your car has an ordinary appearance, it has a luxurious interior. We don't have a high military rank. Isn't it good to drive it in the military intelligence office like this?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, I know this too, but this car is bulletproof and it saved my life yesterday. It is much safer for us to go on missions in this car.
Fortunately, we may need to go out for a period of time to perform tasks. When we return home, we try not to take this car back.
After the mission is completed, our danger will be basically eliminated, and by then, the bulletproof vehicles with other decorations ordered by the Lin family should also have arrived.
When the time comes, I will pick one with ordinary styles and interiors, and give it to my brother, brother Xin, and each team, and they will all have one.
No... we can't wait until then... I'll have to contact the trading company later and transfer all the bulletproof vehicles at home for us to use for a period of time."
After hearing this, Liu Zhenshan asked: "Is this bulletproof car really that useful?"
Lin Mo nodded and said: "It is of great use to us. Although this car cannot protect against rifle bullets, it can protect against handgun bullets and shrapnel. This happens to be the main threat we face.
And because it is bulletproof, this car can be used directly as a mobile bunker, and you can drive it in during battles to hunt down targets."
"Well... from what you said, it's indeed quite useful, but it's best to let the department equip us with this car."
When Lin Mo heard this, he nodded and continued: "We can only get a few vehicles for this matter ourselves, and the rest must be done by the department.
Speaking of which, our Operations Group Two is now specifically responsible for dealing with the Japanese, and it is considered the most dangerous department in the department."
"Alas...who says it's not the case! Our team was responsible for capturing Japanese spies in the past. Counting it all, our team has suffered the largest attrition in the operations department and even in the department.
But it's not without its benefits. Not only do you earn more than others, but you also get more credit. After several successful cases in the past, many officers in the team were able to move up a level.
Like team leader and deputy team leader Zhang, they will definitely be able to jump directly from lieutenant officer to school officer. If I get more credit, I should have a chance to cross this hurdle."
Lin Mo listened and said with a smile: "Captain, the main credit for this time should be attributed to you.
With the merit of directing the search for Japanese spies, I should be able to successfully overcome this hurdle between captains."
When Liu Zhenshan heard this, he quickly shook his head and refused: "This won't work. The credit for this time mainly belongs to you."
"Captain, you can't say that. I only found traces of two Japanese spies. You have to take us to find the others!
Besides, this credit is of little use to me. I haven’t even graduated yet! I have already received outstanding graduates. The title awarded by these outstanding graduates is too difficult to break through to the rank of lieutenant.
Based on my merits, it is no longer a problem to be awarded the rank of captain after graduation. If you continue to put the credit on me, this is the result in the end. It is better to let the captain use the credit.
Anyway, I am seconded this time, and I am here to learn from you. Just give me a name for the actions you participate in, and I don’t need to take any credit."
After Liu Zhenshan heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his hand to Lin Mo seriously.
"Then you're welcome. I really need this credit. We will be brothers from now on. Just call me Brother Liu if you don't mind. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask."
"Hey...Brother Liu, why are you so polite? We haven't even finished these horoscopes yet! We still have to work hard to get the credit!"
"That's right..." The conversation in the car was heated, and the car was almost approaching the target.
"Haicheng, pull over and don't drive directly to the target location."
Hearing this, Yang Haicheng parked the car on the side of the road. The cars following him also found their own places to stop, got out of the car and went their separate ways. Only the people led by Wang Yinglong were still in the car.
The three of them, Lin Mo, met up with Yang Yuchen and several other team members, and walked towards the Model Road. After going around and around, they found the location told by Oiwa Shiro.
On a small side road on Mofan Road, about a hundred meters further in, you will find a three-story apartment building.
Because there is not much traffic in the fork in the road, the first floor of the apartment building has not been converted into shops, only an entry and exit door is left in the middle.
There are four windows on both sides of the door, some with the curtains drawn and some not. According to Oiwa Shiro's description, the interior is all arranged with one room, one living room and one bathroom, and the dead mailbox is in the penultimate room on the right.
After looking around, Liu Zhenshan called his men, gave a few instructions, and then continued to move forward with Lin Mo and others.
"Let's go! Go along this path and take a look. I have arranged for people to check the situation in this property. After the investigation is completed, we can move on to the next step."
The group of people walked forward chatting and laughing, just like normal pedestrians, until they reached the end of the path.
Liu Zhenshan and his party walked out of the side road and happened to arrive not far from Qingshi Bridge. They continued along the road, passed Xujiaqiao, and came to Zhongyang Road, which was still under construction. They entered Liajia Lane to find a tea place and informed the yard of the location.
Then we found a private room and waited.
In the fork in the road, Zheng Junshan also led people to the front of the apartment building. After looking around for a few times, he continued to move forward. After the fork in the road, the people dispersed.
In the private room of the teahouse, the four of them ordered tea and snacks and started chatting. In the end, Yang Yuchen couldn't help himself.
"Brother Liu, Brother Lin and Brother Yang, when will the portraits start? Are we just going to keep waiting?"
Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Just wait! You have to eat your food one bite at a time, and you have to do things bit by bit. You must wait until all the situations are investigated clearly before you can find someone to paint your portrait."
Yang Yuchen listened and stopped asking questions. He was so quick to talk that after a while, several people were annoyed by his remarks. When tea came, Zheng Junshan also brought a few people to look for him.
"Yuchen, you and the others go to the private room next to you. We have something that we need to talk about alone."
After hearing this, Yang Yuchen followed Zheng Junshan's men to the private room next to him, even though he was unwilling.
As soon as Yang Yuchen left, Lin Mo and the four of them took out maps and paper while eating refreshments, and gathered together to talk in a low voice.
Zheng Junshan took out a pen and paper and drew the general terrain around the fork road.
"This branch road goes all the way to the end, connecting Mofan Road and Qingshi Bridge. There is no alley branch in the middle leading to it.
In the fork road, there are alternating western-style buildings with tiled roofs. The buildings are generally not high, with only a few three-story western-style buildings being taller. However, because the fork road is narrow and the buildings are relatively dense, the surveillance point is not easy to find.
I chose to choose, and there were only two places on the fork in the road that were barely suitable for surveillance points. One was a two-story house diagonally opposite the apartment building, and the other was a three-story house on the other side. Its third floor was just visible.
The entrance of the apartment building.
My people have inquired about these two places and they are both being rented out. If they are used, we can just send people there directly.
In addition to these two places, I also found two surveillance points near the two entrances to the fork in the road. There happened to be a hotel opposite the Mofan Road fork in the road, and the entrance to the apartment building could be seen from inside.
Diagonally opposite the Qingshiqiao intersection, there is a family that is also looking for tenants. There happens to be a window on the second floor that can clearly see the situation around the intersection. We can get that room.
Captain, these are the surveillance points I found. Can you give me some ideas on which places can be used?"
After hearing this, Liu Zhenshan pondered for a moment and replied: "The two-story house diagonally opposite the apartment building is not suitable. It is too close to the dead mailbox. The target should be wary of it."
"Well..." Zheng Junshan nodded, looked at Lin Mo, and asked: "Old Lin, can you give me some advice too!"
Lin Mo heard this, carefully recalled what he had observed along the way, and replied: "Old Zheng, I suggest that the two surveillance points in the fork in the road should not be used.
There are only two places in the fork that are suitable for monitoring the apartment building. If the Japanese spies are alert, they will definitely pay attention to these two places.
The house directly opposite the entrance of the apartment building is an old one-story building, very short. I remember looking at the side window of a house, and I should be able to see the first floor of the apartment building. You can look for it.
It’s best not to use that hotel. We need a lot of time to monitor it. Staying there for too long will easily attract attention. You can find rooms on the two floors of the hotel and cooperate with both sides to monitor the situation in the fork in the road.”
After hearing this, Liu Zhenshan asked: "Is this too cautious?"
Lin Mo heard this and explained: "Captain, according to Oiwa Shiro's confession, send a signal that manpower is needed, and someone will come.
This means that the person contacting him is not acting alone, there must be helpers around him.
In addition to being prepared to respond to emergencies, the most likely daily task of these helpers is to ensure the safety of execution mailboxes, so we must be careful."
"Well..." Liu Zhenshan nodded and said to Zheng Junshan: "Junshan, what Lin Mo said makes sense, just follow his advice!"
"Understood..." Zheng Junshan responded, then looked at Lin Mo and asked: "Old Lin, from what you said, this is not the only place where this group of Japanese spies died?"
When Liu Zhenshan heard Zheng Junshan's words, he also thought about it and looked at Lin Mo.
When Lin Mo saw this, he smiled and said: "Captain, Lao Zheng, this is for sure. If you think about Shiro Oiwa's confession, this spy team is obviously not revolving around him and Shizuka Nakagawa.
Oiwa Shiro, in this spy team, except for the woman Shizuka Nakagawa, none of the other team members have come into contact with each other, how can they seem to revolve around him?"
"Could it be that Oiwa Shiro was hiding it from us?"
Lin Mo heard this and continued to explain: "I can't guarantee this, but I can confirm my speculation from another situation.
Shiro Oiwa and Shizuka Nakagawa maintain an improper male-female relationship. If this spy team revolves around them, they will definitely not let them mess around like this."
After listening, Liu Zhenshan and Zheng Junshan nodded, agreeing with Lin Mo's analysis.
