At night, in a secluded corner of Kowloon Walled City, the lights are dim.
"Mr. Akiyoshi, please take a look." The speaker handed a piece of paper to Mr. Akiyoshi. There was a sentence written on it, which was in Japanese. After seeing the content on the note, Mr. Akiyoshi looked at him in surprise.
.
"I'm here to get those things." The man put the code away and said.
"I thought that those things could only be turned into historical data to record the past glory of the empire. I didn't expect that they would be useful one day." Mr. Qiuji said, if Chen Kui or Hong Zhennan were here, they would recognize them.
This Mr. Qiuji is Feng Xiaochun's husband, the man who claims to be from the Northeast - Liu Ji.
"Where are the things?" The other party obviously didn't want Liu Ji to talk about his past glory.
"At home, I put it on the bookshelf."
"I'll go get it with you now."
"Now? This..."
"What, is there a problem?" the man asked, taking out his hand that had been in his pocket, holding a pocket pistol, and pointed the dark hole at Liu Ji.
"Okay, okay, I'll go get it with you now!" Although Liu Ji flashed a flash of panic when he saw the pistol, he quickly calmed down and said quickly.
"clatter."
In the quiet corner, I suddenly remembered a muffled sound, and then a popping sound. The person who fell to the ground had a dark arrow forged from fine steel stuck in his throat.
"you……"
Liu Ji was stunned when he saw the person coming out of the darkness.
…
Chen Kui's study room, tenement house, No. 10 Li Tung Street.
"really."
Although it was an unethical act to open the other party's document bag without the owner's permission, Chen Kui finally did it because the matter involved so many aspects. Without any hesitation, Chen Kui opened it decisively.
I took out the thick stack of documents from the file bag. These were documents from quite some time ago. The paper was a little yellowed, but it was simply bound. There was a line of six characters in Japanese written on the first page.
Because Japanese borrows from Chinese, some Japanese characters are very similar to Chinese characters. I was lucky this time. The six characters on the cover are not difficult to understand - "Xianxian Geographic Survey".
Translated into Chinese, it is - Geographical Survey of Manchuria and Xian. Japan collectively refers to Northeast China and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula as "Manchuria".
In fact, there is no need to worry about mistranslation, because Chen Kui understands Japanese.
During the Anti-Japanese War, out of necessity, Chen Kui spent some time learning Japanese with an international student who had studied in Japan in his early years. Although he could not speak it, he had no problem writing it.
Chen Kui, who had a guilty conscience, closed the doors and windows, sat on a chair, and looked through the pile of information.
This survey was secretly drawn by the "South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd." during the Japanese invasion of China. The "Manchuria Geographic Survey" detailed the geographical survey of Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula, including not only terrain, minerals, but also railways.
The condition of the highway, and more importantly, also includes the military bases established by the Japanese army back then.
South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd., referred to as "Manchuria Railway", was an important tool for the Japanese invasion of China. It was founded in 1906. On the surface, it was a railway company. In fact, it was widely involved in the fields of politics, economy, military and intelligence, and was a semi-official company.
The company was a "military-rail integration" with the Kwantung Army. When the number of investigators was the largest, more than 2,000, it was one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world at that time. The "Investigation" in Chen Kui's hands came from the Manchurian Railway
, is a joint project between the Kwantung Army and Manchuria Railway.
"I really don't understand why Manchuria Railway did this investigation in the first place." Chen Kui flipped through the document and said, covering it.
This "Survey" is not complete, because after the Japanese surrender, the production of the "Survey" was stopped. "Survey" was drawn from the end of 1943 to Japan's surrender, which took nearly two years. However, during this period,
The entire Manchuria was in the hands of the Kwantung Army. Why did the Kwantung Army do this investigation?
It's completely unnecessary.
I can't understand.
"Perhaps this is not an official act but a private act. Otherwise, how could it be left in Mr. Liu's hands?" Chen Kui guessed, but Chen Kui had no way of knowing. What he should consider now is how to put this money into his hands.
After sending the information out, he had to find a way to extract himself from it. Chen Kui didn't want to be involved in a spy war inexplicably.
Spy movies, just watch them and participate in them yourself, forget it.
The risk is too great, I have a happy life now.
How much is this "Survey" worth?
The content of this "Survey" is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the geographical survey of Manchuria. The value of this part of the information is not high, at least to the Chinese side, because Manchuria has a large amount of more detailed information, and the other part is the geographical survey of Manchuria.
The amount is so huge that it took thirty or forty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China to completely sort out the information. After the Japanese surrender, all these information fell into the hands of the Chinese people, so China has no shortage at all.
The other part is a detailed drawing of the railways, highways and some military facilities in the Manchurian area. It is the most valuable part of this investigation. Perhaps there is relevant information within the Manchurian Railway, but according to the military's order, after the surrender,
All this information was burned.
Of course, the value of this survey cannot be overestimated, because once the Manchurian area begins to be rebuilt, the maps in the "Survey" will be basically useless. But at the moment, this survey is very important, because North Korea
The reconstruction of the peninsula has not yet begun, and most of the maps on it have not expired. Whoever masters this survey will have the initiative in the subsequent Korean War. No wonder it will attract three parties.
After thinking for a while, Chen Kui put the documents back where they belonged, got up and left.
…
"Now the situation can be basically confirmed. This Liu Ji is a Japanese and a former employee of the Manchuria Railway. In 1943, his boss ignored the objections of the Kwantung Army and launched the 'Manchurian Geographic Survey' project on his own. After Japan surrendered, these
All the documents should have been destroyed in accordance with the order, but because the investigation was conducted privately and was not registered, Liu Ji's boss could not bear to have his hard work wasted, so he handed the investigation over to Liu Ji. Liu Ji went through several twists and turns.
, came to Hong Kong and started a family here, he just treated this survey as an ordinary document and kept it at home."
"However, the Americans searched Liu Ji's home on Lidong Street and found nothing."
"Mr. Peng, is there any error in the information?"
"The possibility is not high. The other party has already taken action and asked Hong Zhennan's people to help. There are various signs that our direction is not wrong. The top priority now is..."
"Knock knock knock..." Before Mr. Peng finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Mr. Peng, someone just threw this thing in." The man took out a stone with a letter tied to it.
