Although Zeng Hong was not caught, Tao Jie felt that with this code book, he could make a deal.
After all, catching Zeng Hong might not be able to pry her mouth open.
But with the code book, the military commander's password can be cracked.
After returning to the military police unit, Tao Jie reported to Nozaki alone.
"Mr. Nozaki, this is the code book found from Zeng Hong's room." Tao Jie said excitedly.
"After all the trouble, you just got something like this?" Nozaki was not as excited as Tao Jie. He wanted to see military commanders, not these empty-headed things.
"This is the military code book." Tao Jie emphasized again.
"Where are the people?" Nozaki crossed his arms, leaned back, and looked at the pottery steps with a sneer.
"Zeng Hong was very alert and only stayed in the room for a while before leaving." Tao Jie hesitated for a moment and quickly organized his words in his mind.
He was actually not sure whether Zeng Hong made it to 204.
The time between discovering Zeng Hong and taking action took no more than five minutes.
Even if it was a few minutes before Songshouli arrived at Aier Apartment on the 25th, Zeng Hong would never stay in the room for more than ten minutes.
However, in these ten minutes, Zeng Hong disappeared without a trace like air.
"Didn't you say it was foolproof?" Nozaki looked disappointed.
If I had known that Tao Jie was so incompetent, I might as well have handed him over to the Intelligence Room.
Kui Taojie is still the former director of operations of the military command. With such a performance, even if he is the director of operations?
Rather than arresting Zeng Hong, it is better to say that Tao Jie deliberately cooperated and let Zeng Hong escape.
When he thought of this, Nozaki's mind suddenly came to the intelligence that Guan Mingpeng had sent back before: there was an undercover military commander in the military police detachment.
Kawasaki Hiroshi and Nozaki secretly investigated many Chinese people in the military police unit.
Especially for the chief officers of these three intelligence rooms, the Japanese hope that they are not undercover agents, but they are also afraid that they are undercover agents of the military commander.
Lu Chengzhou and Miao Guangyuan were better off. Tao Jie himself came from the military command, so he was the most suspicious.
"Zeng Hong probably entered through the front door and went out through the back door. I left two people in her room, and people were also arranged in the house next door. As long as Zeng Hong goes back, she will definitely not be able to escape," Tao Jie said confidently.
"You mobilized a large number of people to arrest people, will Zeng Hong go back? Your code book may have expired." Nozaki said with a sneer.
"Her reaction wasn't that fast, was it?" Tao Jie murmured.
"Do you think that the people at Haigu Station are all as incompetent as you?" Nozaki said sharply.
Nozaki's words stung Tao Jie, especially the phrase "extremely incompetent", which made him feel ashamed.
"I promise that Zeng Hong will be brought to justice," Tao Jie said.
"If you can't catch the people at Haigu Station within the stipulated time, the military commander's case will have to be handled by others." Nozaki said calmly.
Nozaki's words were not a threat. Kawasaki Hiroshi only gave Tao Jie one month.
In the two cases of Guan Mingpeng and Yan Shuxun, the perpetrators were both military commanders. They said they were solving the case, but in fact they were arresting military commanders.
Tao Jie failed to catch Zeng Hong, and Nozaki was indeed very angry.
In front of Tao Jie, he devalued the code book as worthless, but after Tao Jie left, he still called Matsumoto Masahiro and told him that he had obtained Juntong's code book.
"It's so timely." Masahiro Matsumoto flipped through the code book, his excitement palpable.
As the director of the military police unit's telecommunications room, Masahiro Matsumoto's mission is not only to ensure the communications of the military police unit, but also to crack the military code.
Liu Jinghua had cracked the password of Juntong before, but soon, Juntong changed the password.
During this period, the telecommunications room continued to intercept some telegrams. If this code book was available, even if the military command changed the code book in the future, it would be of great help to the telecommunications room in deciphering the military code.
Matsumoto Masahiro thought that if he got this code book, he would soon be able to crack the previous military commander's code.
However, he was soon disappointed.
Among the military telegrams transcribed recently, only two telegrams were broken.
In other words, Zeng Hong's codebook is not a codebook commonly used by military commanders.
"Liu Jun, what's going on?" Matsumoto Masahiro originally didn't want to tell Liu Jinghua about this, but he tried again and again and could only get out two telegrams, which really felt strange.
"I suspect that this is Zeng Hong's personal code book. From the contents of the telegram, it can also be seen that she reported directly to Dai Li." Liu Jinghua said slowly.
In fact, he was very familiar with this codebook because it was the special codebook he specially prepared for the military police unit.
"What does 'everything is fine, no need to worry' mean?" Masahiro Matsumoto asked.
The most recent telegram that was translated contained only these eight words.
"Zeng Zilian is the intelligence team leader sent by the headquarters. She is at Haigu Station. In addition to being the intelligence team leader, she probably has other responsibilities." Liu Jinghua said firmly.
In the military, this is actually an open secret.
Dai Li never trusts anyone, even if he is a close confidant, he will arrange for people to monitor him.
Match is the acting webmaster of Haigu Station, but Dai Li arranged for Zeng Hong to spy on him secretly.
In Haigu, this is very common.
Perhaps, in addition to Zeng Hongji, there are other people standing in Haigu who also shoulder this mission.
"What are the specific responsibilities?" Masahiro Matsumoto asked again.
"Maybe she has an intelligence agent with a single line of contact, maybe she also supervises Haigu Station, or even directly monitors Match." Liu Jinghua said.
"So, what we got was just Zeng Hong's personal code book?" Matsumoto Masahiro said.
"It's very possible." Liu Jinghua nodded.
"Then what does this telegram mean?" Masahiro Matsumoto took out another telegram with one sentence written on it: "The strict barrier has been lifted, and it's all in my hands."
"Yan Guan should refer to Yan Shuxun and Guan Mingpeng. They have already been eliminated. As for the second sentence, I don't know yet about being humble and stupid." Liu Jinghua shook his head.
If he knew everything, the suspicious Matsumoto Masahiro would be suspicious of him.
The blockade of the British-French Concession had no impact on Xie Weihan, who lived in the National Hotel.
He still lives a life of intoxication every day, sleeping during the day, fooling around with Zhenzi at night, having a glass of wine and singing every day, and his life is more carefree than a god.
Although Zheng Wenyou was disgusted with Xie Weihan's behavior, he was a subordinate.
They all came down from the battlefield. If they are alive, they are getting a big advantage. Why should they be demanding anymore?
Only if Zheng Wenyou wants to transfer back to the military command, he must first gather the Seventh Route Army.
Since Xie Weihan was unwilling to leave, he planned to return to Fengrun County alone.
"Director Zheng, I found that people often put up anti-Japanese slogans at night, and some people are promoting anti-Japanese resistance. They look like students, are they our people?" Yu Jinshi suddenly asked Zheng Wenyou when he arrived at the National Hotel.
