After adjusting his mood, Sha Renhai continued to check. The other party gathered all the personnel together to carry out the operation, which was also mentioned, but the two confessions mentioned were slightly different.
One of them attributed the whole reason to the fact that the two leading Japanese did not trust them, Koreans, so they trapped everyone in the teahouse.
Another person also mentioned this reason, but also mentioned that most of the people here have not received long-term professional espionage training, and most people are not qualified for professional espionage activities. In addition, their mission itself is centered around this teahouse, so they finally chose
To act like this.
In this regard, Sha Ronghai prefers the latter explanation. The teahouse here is positioned as a mid-to-high grade, and usually gathers many middle- and upper-class people. The teahouse is a place for information exchange. By listening to these people chatting and bragging, to a large extent,
I have been able to understand the ideological trends of some middle and upper class people, and I can also tell the pro-Japanese tendencies of some people through talking. I probably don’t have such a convenient and quick opportunity to go to other places, and the eavesdropping work in such a large teahouse requires a large number of people, so I chose to gather together.
Not surprising at all.
However, the specific details are not known at present, because the two Japanese spies in charge of the work here who had received two years of training were the two people in the room at that time, and Sha Ruhai had been killed on the spot.
Recalling the scene at that time, I carefully peeked out with a gun. I was obviously alert and realized that the situation was critical. Plus, the window was unlocked. What a mistake? This made Sha Ruhai wonder whether the previous excuse was the reason.
What about the facts?
The well-dressed man is the owner of the teahouse and the leader of the spy team. He is mainly responsible for managing and operating the teahouse, presiding over all espionage activities in the teahouse, and summarizing all kinds of intelligence information collected.
The chef pretended to be the chef of the tea house, the team leader's deputy, and managed and led the tea house's back kitchen, warehouse, and procurement staff. These people had little contact with tea house customers and mainly engaged in activities outside the tea house, such as information transmission.
connections, and temporary dispatch tasks like this one.
It is estimated that the importance of this group is not high, and the people behind it do not value it very much, or the intelligence collected is not very timely. It is not equipped with a radio station and mainly relies on manpower to deliver intelligence. It only explains the specific operations and procedures.
People don’t know that these jobs are all done by Japanese nationals.
"He Tou, the clerk who came into contact with our target confessed that these are confessions." One of He Changwen's subordinates sent the confession that He Changwen had been waiting for for a long time.
He Changwen glanced through it briefly, and found that it was all the information they were eager to know. He nodded with satisfaction, patted the team members on the shoulders to give some encouragement, and handed the confession to Sha Ruhai.
"Lao Sha, look, can you ask the captain to withdraw and not take any action for the time being?"
Sha Ronghai looked through it and found out that according to what the other party told him, about an hour before the mark was reached, the boss called him and gave him a note, asking him to pay the other party's silver dollars when someone called and gave the code.
He pushed Sang a few times on the grounds that the quality was not good enough, and took the opportunity to stuff the note into the opponent's pocket.
He is also a Korean national. Before joining the Black Dragon Society, he worked as a three-hander and a gentleman in Liangshang. He usually works as a waiter in the elegant room on the second floor. Because he is light-footed, the teahouse relies on him to eavesdrop on the secret conversations of some guests. It is estimated that this time he has worked as a three-hander.
It was only because the superior acted quickly and efficiently that he arranged for him to do this.
However, this person was not the waiter who was leaning against the counter when He Changwen started the operation. After he did this, after the team members arranged by He Changwen followed him out, the accountant asked him to go back and report, saying that the other person and the people who came back before might have been raped.
Tracked.
After he returned to the back to report, the chef immediately arranged for a fast-footed subordinate to chase him out to see if there was a chance to remind him. The chef went upstairs to discuss with the boss. He stayed downstairs and talked to some people who heard the news.
Those who came to the news gathered downstairs to wait for the news, and then they were kicked to the ground by Sha Ruhai who suddenly came out.
"It's better to wait and verify his confession through other people. Moreover, we still don't know how the two parties contacted each other. Are there any other means of warning? What kind of information was conveyed is still unclear."
"Yes..." He Changwen nodded and arranged for team members to interrogate these situations and obtain relevant information as soon as possible.
"To provide you with some information..." Zeng Wen rushed over and said: "...I asked someone to check the phone communication situation in the store just now. Except for the one that Xiao He targeted just now, there were two calls an hour ago.
The first time I dialed in, the number was from a store in Shimonoseki. The call lasted for more than three minutes. I suspected that one of the people sent by the other party to conduct observation and investigation was reporting the situation.
The other time was an outgoing call. The time was less than five minutes after dialing in. The call lasted for more than half a minute. I suspected that I was contacting the office to receive information. Although the dialed code did not belong to the office, the address to which the number belonged was different from the office.
The straight-line distance is only two to three hundred meters."
"Captain Zeng, do you mean that the two parties jointly transmitted information, was it a temporary communication, or was a pre-agreed signal sent at that time?"
"Yes..." Zeng Wenchong nodded and said: "Based on the current situation, it should be like this. From the sudden movement of the target you are tracking to the two phone calls here, this may be better explained.
As for why it wasn't passed on directly over the phone, it's probably because the information isn't important enough yet, so we need to take risks to gain some time. Moreover, there's a high chance that the two teams won't use the same code words. The situation they've discovered is very complicated, so we made a temporary agreement.
It may not be useful, and code words are only suitable for conveying some rough general or specific information. A lot of information needs to be conveyed more accurately to avoid errors and omissions.
In addition, what they are observing and detecting is intelligence on our activities on the Shimonoseki River. This information is not valid for a long time and needs to be sent out in time, so it sends a signal to the other party to receive the intelligence."
He Changwen nodded, and it made sense. He said: "Captain Zeng, you should pay more attention to this matter and see if you can find some information to confirm it."
After saying that, He Changwen frowned and suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "Captain Zeng, the teahouse and the office can be contacted by phone. Did you use the phone to give a warning just now?"
"Don't worry..." Zeng Wenchong smiled, waved his hand, and said, "I have thought of this problem, and it has been eliminated after verification.
After inspection, it was found that the teahouse only had one telephone line and one phone, the one in the lobby, where people in the teahouse also made calls.
However, the cord of the phone receiver is relatively long, and the phone is on the far side of the counter. People can go directly behind the high cabinet to talk. I have tried that as long as the volume is lowered, people in the lobby can't hear the conversation at all, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
And there is only one phone, and it is located in the lobby. I guess there are some considerations. If we just follow the phone calls, we can completely blame the customer or the person who borrowed the phone for making the call, making it easy for us to
If there is no suspicion on the tea house, even if they are eventually found, it will give them a chance to evacuate."
He Changwen patiently listened to these irrelevant speculations, and then asked quickly: "What about the clerk who left through the back door? Did he make any calls?"
"I have already asked the team members who followed me, but the other party did not find the phone number. Moreover, the other party is not a core member of the tea house. It is impossible for him to know this kind of contact information.
Just in case, I also arranged for people to ask around for phone calls, and no one from the tea house or anyone closely related to the tea house made a call. The last number dialed by the other party also has no call records during this time period."
"That's good, that's good... Huh..." He Changwen finally breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "There are only two people who have not been caught. They are a big hidden danger. If they are solved, we can basically avoid the consequences of this operation.
There are adverse consequences.
Team Zeng, do you think this will work? After a while, the review will be almost the same, and two more cooperative ones will be picked out. In addition to continuing to trace their whereabouts, you will also arrange two observation points, and keep an eye on them in areas with a relatively wide field of vision.
Outside in the streets, lest the other party come back and find out that we have escaped abnormally. Once our movements are known to the Japanese, it is likely to affect the shop's operations on a large scale, and even cause serious consequences."
Zeng Wenchong agreed to He Changwen's case, chatted for a while before leaving, found his subordinates to arrange relevant matters, and went back to check the search situation, only to find several subordinates fighting together and whispering.
"What are you talking about? Are you chatting so happily and excitedly?" Zeng Wenchong came closer, but when he heard a few laughs, he was noticed and asked proactively.
"Let's talk about the second operation team! Captain Zeng, you haven't seen it. These people are so clean and neat in their attacks, and they are ready to die with every move! I am really far behind them."
The person who replied was the team member who had been with Zeng Wenchong before. He had practiced martial arts and had good skills. He claimed that Zeng Wenchong's team had the best skills. This time, he was quite shocked. It was not that he had never seen someone with great skills, but he used moves like this.
They were as clean and neat as flowing water, and the most important thing was that they were all similar, which showed that these people received relatively uniform training, which made him wonder if he had practiced a fake technique?
"Okay, okay, don't ask around for some things. You are all the backbone elites of the second intelligence team. I believe you know what tasks you will be exposed to in the future. Not knowing enough about some things is not necessarily a bad thing. Do you understand?
"
Zeng Wenchong gave a few reminders, then sent his people to continue searching the teahouse, and took his men to calm down the customers in the store during the operation.
"Captain Zeng, you must have been in contact with Xiao He and the so-called Brother Hai just now, right? What do you think of these two people?"
"Didn't I say that? I told you not to make idle inquiries and make random comments." Zeng Wenchong did not refuse directly, and his tone was different from before.
The other party is his confidant and will definitely not be easily arranged. Moreover, he is not good at detailed work such as intelligence and mental work. However, his execution and action ability are beyond the limit. He cannot do command and coordination, but he can execute extremely well.
He has no idea what to do when he is given an order, but he can execute it extremely well. He is an excellent assistant and subordinate who executes orders.
"Hehe..." The team member has been with Zeng Wenchong for a long time, so he naturally knows what it means. He laughed twice and said: "Aren't both sides going to deal specifically with the Japanese in the future? It's inevitable to deal with them, and I want to know more about it."
Zeng Wenchong didn't dwell too much on anything and said: "As for Xiao He, he is younger and lacks experience. His actions are a little reckless and radical, but he is flexible in mind and full of motivation. He can also stand on his own. He will be a person in the future.
The man surnamed Sha is experienced, thoughtful, calm, and seasoned. He has probably been working in the second operation team for some years, and he should be one of the veteran backbones.
The two of them should have good moral character, and depending on the situation, they are also people who do practical things. They are not just trying to flatter people who are lucky enough to get in, so they should suit your taste."
"Sorry to disturb everyone's enjoyment..." As soon as he arrived at the lobby, Zeng Wenchong handed over his hands and apologized. After a brief inquiry, Zeng Wenchong discovered that there were several people with certain status in Nanjing among the customers.
Although Zeng Wenchong is not afraid of offending, he is still in action and it is not suitable to directly reveal his true identity. Moreover, Nanjing has gathered a large number of national dignitaries. Who knows whether there are related people among them, so it is better to deal with it safely.
"This is my certificate. I am a police sergeant from the city police station. I have been ordered to perform a mission here to arrest two fugitives. If there is any conflict, please forgive me... please forgive me..."
"Police?..." One of the customers reached out and took the ID. After checking that there was no problem, he threw it back and said, "...shouldn't you be searching for the whereabouts of the consul now? What mission are you here to perform at this time?"
"Who says it's not the case..." Zeng Wenchong sighed and responded, "It was during the search across the city that a police officer recognized two people in the kitchen who were wanted fugitives from other places and had committed many major crimes in the local area.
The desperado."
"Desperado? Are you mistaken?" One of the customers, obviously a little scared, asked nervously.
"Isn't that right..." Zeng Wenchong felt happy, as long as someone could talk to him, and just dig into the pocket he had prepared in advance, he would have a way to guide them so that they would not be entangled with him.
"We were also afraid that we had made a mistake, but when we checked, we found that not only were we not mistaken, but the teahouse was full of foreigners, which is great, because who knows how many fugitives are hidden in it.
Everyone knows that the Japanese are causing trouble these days. The superiors were worried that these desperadoes would take advantage of the chaos in the city and cause trouble, so they ordered us to arrest them.
But there were so many people in the teahouse that we couldn't tell who had the problem. We originally wanted to do it at night, but were afraid of causing any noise when it was quiet at night, so we took advantage of the teahouse being open during the day and pretended to be customers to arrest people. We apologize for any conflicts."
"Boss, we will carry out the seized things..." Two team members came out at the right time, holding a basket in their hands, containing knives, several short guns and two long guns, and they opened their mouths to attract everyone's attention.
.
"Oh... ahem..." Zeng Wenchong responded casually. After a moment, he seemed to realize what he was saying and hurriedly stretched out his hand to call someone.
"Erhu, you two are really tigers! How can you carry this thing out with such a big force? Don't you think it's troublesome enough? It doesn't matter what time it is."
