"At present, the three groups have made progress in three directions, but a problem has also arisen, which is whether to arrest them in time after investigation and prevent the other party from passing on information to the outside world. You happen to be here, and I want to see your opinions and ideas."
As soon as Lin Mo finished reporting and communicating with Lin Wenhua, he was called over by Xu Guyu. After informing the three of them about the general progress of the other two groups, he asked them for their opinions.
Naturally, the two team leaders came up with the first opinion, but their opinions were not unanimous. Lin Wenhua's idea was to follow the clues to expand the results of the war, while Wang Hefeng preferred to prevent the leakage of information as much as possible, which is the question of whether to catch it now.
"What about you? What do you think?" Seeing that the two of them had different opinions, Xu Guyu looked at Lin Mo and felt something was wrong, so he explained: "You are on the front line, and I need to consult your thoughts on this matter."
When Lin Mo heard this, he looked around and replied: "Section Chief, let's expand the results! In the long run, uncovering more spies and traitors can prevent more intelligence leaks.
Moreover, it is still unclear how much intelligence power the other party has used. Maybe it is only a drop in the bucket that has been discovered so far. Our actions may not prevent the other party from stealing the information they want.
Another point is that if we prevent the other party from sending back intelligence, it is likely to alert the other party and add variables to our next actions. The other party may even use other means to put pressure and provoke trouble.
Although we cannot control the development of the situation regarding the current provocation and pressure measures that the Japanese will adopt, we can at least roughly guess the other side's methods and have made some corresponding arrangements and responses. However, if they are aware of it, we will change to other methods that we do not understand.
Applying pressure and provocation using various means may very well cause the situation to get out of control again, a consequence we cannot afford.
Therefore, at present, we should still focus on expanding the results of the war. Of course, if the other party notices or discovers that the other party is going to use any means to expand the trouble, we must take immediate action. As for other non-essential situations, try not to take action first."
After expounding his thoughts in detail, Xu Guyu pondered for a moment and made a decision. He chose to continue to expand the results of the war and not to attack the discovered Japanese spies for the time being.
Now that the matter has been decided, the few of them stopped delaying and went down to deal with related matters. However, Lin Mo was kept by Xu Guyu for a while, and they chatted about some things alone. The main purpose was to ask him to pay more attention to the hidden book and try not to make any mistakes.
When Lin Mo came out, Wang Hefeng was still waiting for him in the courtyard. The two of them greeted each other, exchanged a few polite words, and walked out the door while chatting.
"Are you hiding something from me..." When there were no pedestrians around him, Wang Hefeng suddenly leaned into Lin Mo's ear and asked in a low voice.
"No..." Lin Mo opened his mouth and turned to face Wang Hefeng with a strange expression. The atmosphere was quiet and strange for a while.
"Ah...it's okay, it's okay..." Wang Hefeng was a little embarrassed for a moment, and he said a few words casually, feeling a little shaken in his heart: 'Is it really okay to hide it?'
"Oh..." Lin Mo responded as if he was confused, but in fact his heart was in his throat. If not for his immediate reaction, Wang Hefeng asked whether he and Zeng Wenchong had concealed anything in their actions. He would have been very worried.
It might be possible for Wang Hefeng to find out something.
Obviously, Wang Hefeng was testing whether he, Xu Guyu and others were hiding anything from him. He probably sensed something abnormal, and his previous expressions may have been just testing.
At that time, Lin Mo thought that the other party was engaged in intelligence, so he was inclined to prevent the leakage of intelligence in time. But now that he thinks about it, expanding the results of the battle is equivalent to increasing their credit! It would be reasonable for him and Lin Wenhua to change their attitudes.
, this is probably why he made a surprise attack to test Lin Mo. It has to be said that those who engage in intelligence are sensitive and careful, and can detect even the slightest abnormalities.
"There was a case before. That boy Wen Chong was afraid that I wouldn't agree, so he did it without telling me, and he almost caused trouble. Don't learn these bad things from him."
Wang Hefeng gave an excuse and wanted to expose the matter. Lin Mo also pretended to be confused and thought that this was what he asked. You fool me and I will fool you to make things smooth.
Boss Dai has already set the tone regarding the situation of the hidden books. He strictly controls the scope of knowledge. Let alone revealing it now, it will probably not be declassified in the future. There will not even be records in the office. Only the parties involved and current insiders know some of them.
Tricky.
As for the purpose of Wang Hefeng's test, Lin Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As the top leader of a powerful field unit and the actual person carrying out the intelligence work against Japan, he must be trusted by Boss Dai, and he must have carried out strict screening and investigation.
Lin Mo might still believe that he was harassed by our party. After all, our party policy and counter-insurgency work relies on faith. That thing is too mysterious, but according to the information Lin Mo knows, it should not be possible at present.
It is almost impossible that he is working for the Japanese. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Intelligence Department. The prestige gained by the military commander can be ruled out, and the Intelligence Department will not have such a big problem.
"Team Leader Wang, I'll go over and take a look at Teams 3 and 4, but I won't go with you." Diagonally across from the hotel, Lin Mo explained a few words to Wang Hefeng.
"The affairs of the Fourth Team are also under your control?" Wang Hefeng was a little surprised. In his opinion, the Fourth Team, a special action team temporarily formed by drawing elites from each team, should be in charge of a dedicated person or someone in the team.
"I have a job there and I need to check out the situation." Lin Mo smiled and replied with a very vague answer, and he couldn't go into details.
"...Oh..." Wang Hefeng suddenly thought of something and smiled: "I remembered it. I heard someone mentioned that many of the techniques and tactics of the action team are related to you..."
Lin Mo just smiled and didn't say much. Since Wang Hefeng had come up with a reasonable explanation, he didn't have to waste any more words.
After saying goodbye, the two of them separated. To be honest, staying with Wang Hefeng made Lin Mo nervous all the time, lest he want to test something again, which would be very uncomfortable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I returned to Team 3 and learned about the situation with Zheng Junshan who had not yet rested. It was nothing major.
All parties involved in the search work, for unknown reasons, kept coming to join them. Just dealing with these people was so busy that if they weren't just acting, they probably wouldn't be able to carry out their work at all.
Lin Mo didn't want to pay attention to those people's petty crimes, and just asked Zheng Junshan to remind his brothers to be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of the loophole.
After coming out, Lin Mo walked around a few times, looked for a phone number, called Wang Mingkun, and asked about the situation on the mountain.
Originally, he should have gone out of the city to see the situation in person, but since the Japanese Consulate issued a deadline to the government during the day today, Nanjing City has begun to implement closed city gate management at night. Although he can go out, that place, but currently absolutely
With all the forces paying attention to him, he didn't want to get involved.
After finishing the process, Lin Mo returned to the hotel and decisively went back to his room to wash up and rest. He had been busy until midnight today and was already exhausted. He had to recharge his batteries, because the busier he got from now on, the more tense the situation would become. He had to keep it up.
A good state can deal with increasingly difficult situations in the later stages.
…
The next day, when people woke up one after another from their sleep and prepared to start a new day of hard work, some people also started a new day of secret competition.
Last night, many of the team members of the four groups operating together, except for a small number of on-duty follow-up personnel, were basically like Lin Mo and had a relatively sufficient rest to recuperate.
Early in the morning, many team members who were in good spirits began their respective operational missions one after another, but some not-so-optimistic situations emerged.
According to intelligence, in Japan, war propaganda continues to be spread and fermented, and public opinion has been incited.
In addition, news came from Shanghai that the Japanese warships that had left the Huangpu River and several other Japanese warships were swimming in the waters outside the Yangtze River Estuary and might go up the river at any time and reach Nanjing.
Shi Baocun, after Lin Mo's suggestion, made some adjustments to the direction of the investigation last night, and finally good news came this morning, and the whereabouts of the missing person was discovered.
According to the tip, the other party once traveled to a farmer's home outside Shogunate Mountain to stay overnight and left early in the morning. There is currently no whereabouts of the other party, but some villagers said they suspected that they saw him entering the mountain.
Shi Baocun went there in person and took a look at the terrain, orientation, etc. of Mufu Mountain, and decisively took people into the mountain to search for the opponent's whereabouts.
Mufu Mountain is adjacent to the river to the north and beautiful peaks to the south. It is a collection of scenic spots and various scenes. It is a good place for practicing Buddhism. There are many temples and other places for monks and Buddhists to practice in the mountain. Unfortunately, there is no big temple with great popularity. The situation in the Republic of China was chaotic and there were many small temples.
Already showing signs of dilapidation.
…
Since the target has been basically locked, Lin Mo arranged for three teams to closely monitor the residence and office of the target and the so-called "relatives", and tracked and monitored all the actions of these people. When the manpower was insufficient, He Changwen's investigation team was also brought in to help.
.
After all, this radio station works frequently, so there must be information transmitted here and then sent out. And a high-power remote radio station is extremely active. It is probably serving more than one spy group. Lin Mo hopes to follow the intelligence transmission process.
Expand the results.
However, this was a wait-and-see job. Lin Mo did not go to the front line to take command personally. Instead, he took a detour out of the city on the pretext of going back to Team 3 to handle some work, and finally came into contact with people from the special operations group near Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Yes, the hiding place of Zangbensuo is near Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, but the person is no longer at the hiding place, but has gone down the mountain.
"How is the situation?" He went out with the team members to find Wang Shoufei, who was leading the team to follow, and asked about the situation.
"Forget it, it's so relaxing to eat and drink in the teahouse. If I hadn't arranged for people to go in and check twice, I wouldn't have believed it. I thought something had happened!"
Zangben went down the mountain yesterday, but after drinking a bowl of tea, he immediately went back without even daring to eat anything. But today he is obviously more courageous, and I don’t know how long he will stay in the teahouse.
Now, Lin Mo and Wang Shoufei were a little worried. They didn't know when he might be found by search personnel or recognized by people who saw the reward information.
"Forget it, it's okay to come down and have a drink. I'm worried that he won't be able to stick to the deadline given by the Japanese!
As for the search team members and citizens, there is no need to worry too much. This place is very remote, and even if the search is not too strict, they will be allowed to run back if they have time. The posted reward pictures are not too blurry, and it is difficult to recognize them.
easy."
Lin Mo said a few words feeling helpless, and could only ask Wang Shoufei to keep an eye on him, and if something went wrong, don't hesitate and take action immediately.
Just after he finished speaking, a team member came over and whispered in Lin Mo's ear for a while, conveying the impending situation report that Lin Mo's driver had received.
"Shou Fei, I'll leave the affairs here to you. The situation is urgent and I have to rush back immediately to handle it. I probably won't have time to come back to you."
"Don't worry..." After saying a few words of greeting, Lin Mo went out, found the driver, and rushed back to Linzhi. Not long after entering, he went out again and rushed to Xiaguan, where he found Zeng Wenchong and helped him verify a few clues.
.
"Lao San, just come here. This place is too close to the river. We must investigate these clues as soon as possible."
…
Outside the city, He Zujie led his team members into the mountains and got into the carriage with Shi Baocun and others who were dressed as students for an outing.
Shi Baocun and his men disguised themselves as students and went into the mountains to search for monasteries and other places to find the whereabouts of the missing monk, and his whereabouts were indeed traced.
The other party had stayed in many monasteries, either stopping to discuss sutras or sharing food and accommodation. Shi Baocun had already used the other party's whereabouts to gradually get closer to the target.
"...The three monks moved and began to enter the mountain. Another report came. The Japanese ship has entered the river. The superiors asked us to speed up."
"We really need to speed up. Once the three monks enter the mountain, they can support each other, observe each other, and warn each other. There will be no one in the mountain to protect us, so it will be difficult to investigate.
But this also shows that the other party’s goal is this mountainous area, and we should be very close to the goal. By the way, Brother Jie, on the way here just now, I saw some stones piled up like military fortifications, what’s going on?”
Hearing this, He Zujie thought for a moment and said, "I do know one thing. They should be the fortifications outside Nanjing. There are more or less some on the mountains around Nanjing.
The one on the road just now should be a small part of Shogun Mountain, and there should be many more around. There seems to be a military camp near the mountain, and there should be soldiers stationed there.
The location should be on the east side of the mountain, and the west side of the mountain is close to the river. The government lacks weapons that can attack ships, so the defense on the side of the river is probably not strong."
"In this case, the other party is probably around. But there is a problem. It is difficult to keep track of and monitor in this mountain? In particular, there may be several targets cooperating with each other."
"Why don't we just arrest him directly? The other party's behavior has already made it clear that he is a spy... It's not possible. They may have other accomplices..."
"It's really not possible..." Shi Baocun shook his head and said: "I have already informed you in the morning that we will not arrest people unless necessary. Moreover, the other party coming here should be directly cooperating with the Japanese warship entering the river. Taking action may cause bad consequences.
...Like this...Brother Jie, you go back and report the situation, and apply to the second operation team for the deployment of snipers or members of the fourth team to assist. They are better at this kind of field work than us."
"Okay..." After He Zujie left, Shi Baocun checked the map, finally locked on a hill not far away, and led the team members straight there.
