In addition, Boss Dai ordered that military command stations along the waterways and land routes must be searched closely! They must be found!
Leng Yue suspected that the tape might have been stolen by Japanese agents lurking in the Military Commission!
But after discussing with Zheng Jiemin, Boss Dai naturally suspected the Communist Party of China! What they were most worried about was that they would be taken advantage of by the Communist Party of China!
Therefore, although the Central Command and the Military Command have some sectarian views and compete fiercely with each other, they still have to act together in the face of such a serious situation! Otherwise, serious problems will arise and they will not be able to reap the benefits!

After discussing with Han Jindong, Leng Yue decided to select a few brothers from Zhang Xiao's team who were meticulous in investigating the case to carefully search Fan Yuting's residence. The other brothers, led by Han Jindong and Qiang Hu, cooperated with the search operations of the Investigation Office and the Military Police!
The target of their search is the person who is about to leave Chongqing!
This task seems overwhelming. The tape is so small that if everyone searches it, I'm afraid it won't work!
But they are all experienced in handling this kind of case, and they know who to check harshly and who to check carefully! To be honest, the probability of Japanese spies slipping through this kind of inspection is not high!
But the key problem is that the tape may have been stolen on April 4th, more than ten days have passed! I'm afraid it must have been given away long ago! But there is nothing we can do about it, we still have to look for it!

Zhang Xiao only selected three attentive brothers to search Fan Yuting's residence under the supervision of Leng Yue.
Their search was a special agent search, extremely sophisticated!
How sophisticated! Fan Yuting only has a small house, so the search work is difficult to move around.
They deliberately set up a tent outside the door. They took out everything in Fan Yuting's house one by one.
Even if it is just a small piece of paper that is taken out, it must be carefully examined by many people to confirm that it belongs to Fan Yuting and that there is nothing unusual before it is placed in the tent!
As for the larger furniture, they looked it over and over. After checking it clearly, they moved it to the tent!
The only thing they know now is that the cabinet where the tapes were hidden was pried open with a dagger! There are traces of the dagger on the cabinet door!
To be honest, such a detailed search process is quite long!
Generally speaking, if someone steals an important thing in this room, he should take it and leave. If it is an experienced Japanese agent, he may not leave anything or traces in the room!
But the current situation is so serious! Even if they can't find any clues, they must search carefully!
Three days later, Leng Yue and Zhang Xiao made an unexpected discovery in Fan Yuting's room!
2-11
Three days later, Fan Yuting's house had been evacuated! There was only one empty house left!
The brothers under Zhang Xiao carefully inspected the walls, roofs, doors, windows, and even lights and wires!
Zhang Xiaoze lay on the ground like a dog and looked at it inch by inch!
On the ground, Zhang Xiao dipped his fingers in his saliva and picked up an extremely small thing from the ground!
This tiny thing is mixed in with the dust and debris on the ground, and it looks like dirt when people step on it! If you don’t look for it on the ground, you will never find it!
Leng Yue leaned over Zhang Xiao's hand and looked carefully, finally nodded to him and whispered: "It's the tip of the dagger!"
The tip of this knife is so small, about the size of a sesame seed!
Leng Yue immediately reported the situation to Gong Binsheng, Liu Xueqi and Han Jindong, asking them to pay special attention to finding a dagger with a missing tip! No matter who you stop, check first whether he has a dagger! Is the dagger missing a tip?
They believe that the person holding the dagger is the Japanese spy who stole the tape!

The military commander and central commander, together with the Sixth Regiment of the Central Gendarmerie and the police station, jointly conducted this secret search throughout the city, which still alarmed many people!
The first person to be alerted was Li Moqiao, the major adjutant of Zhang Bingzhou, deputy director of the First Division of the Military Command Department!
Li Moqiao, actually a Japanese, surnamed Nozawa, given name Morihiro. He is twenty-six years old. He has been active in China since graduating from Nakano School. In 1937, he was placed in Zhang Bingzhou by Takahashi
Be an adjutant by your side.
Therefore, he knew everything about Zhang Bingzhou’s home situation in Shanghai!
If Zhang Bingzhou knew this situation, I wonder what he would think!
On March 31 this year, Li Moqiao accidentally passed by the door of the Military Commission meeting room and heard the recording played by Fan Yuting. In fact, he only heard a few sentences, which was very incomplete.
But just these few meaningless words allowed him to completely understand who was speaking and what they were saying! He was a trained agent after all, and he could figure out the key points!
He quietly observed and followed Fan Yuting, and finally confirmed that Fan Yuting must have hidden the recording at home!
On April 4th, he took advantage of Fan Yuting to go to work. After a lot of trouble, he finally found this tape from Fan Yuting's house! This guy can really hide it! He actually hid it under the drawer!
2-13
On the night of April 4th, Li Moqiao hid in his office and listened to this recording again.
He immediately heard that this was a private conversation between the top generals of the Military Commission! They were very angry about the situation on the battlefield, but this anger unexpectedly turned to the chairman of the committee! Several top generals all expressed their anger towards the chairman of the committee.
He said a few unceremonious and harsh words! Therefore, this recording has potentially huge value! It should be sent to Shanghai immediately!
But now he has a little trouble! When Mr. Sato left Chongqing with his people, he left a three-person team with Zhang Bingzhou to take charge of protection and liaison work!
The problem is that this three-person team is a special agent of the Naval Intelligence Department and is not in the same system as Li Moqiao! Secondly, the people in this team do not know Li Moqiao’s true identity! They have to contact Zhang Bingzhou secretly, and even have to avoid him
Li Moqiao!
Li Moqiao thinks this is good and is beneficial to his own safety! He will never trust Navy agents!
After thinking about this clearly, he immediately sent a telegram to Gao Qiao in Shanghai. The telegram was: "I accidentally obtained a recording. The content is related to the highest level of the Chinese government! The potential value is huge! The telegram is difficult to describe in detail! Please send a reliable person from the Army to pick it up as soon as possible.
!speed!"
He specifically emphasized "Army"! He believed Takahashi must understand what he meant!
Next, he can only wait for Takahashi to send someone!

However, on the afternoon of April 18, while Li Moqiao was having dinner with the adjutant of Liu Xueqi, the commander of the Sixth Military Police Regiment, he heard unexpected news from him. The military commander and the central commander were secretly looking for this recording!
Both the military commander and the central commander suspected that someone was secretly sending this recording away!
The adjutant told him at two points in time that this recording might have been recorded on a day before April 4th! Another point in time was that the last time Fan Yuting prepared the tape recorder was March 31st!
In other words, this recording has attracted the attention of all intelligence agencies in Chongqing! This shows its importance!
After careful consideration, Li Moqiao first confirmed his own safety and then considered Zhang Bingzhou's situation. He told Zhang Bingzhou the news that night!
He is a parasite on Zhang Bingzhou! If Zhang Bingzhou has a problem, he will inevitably have a problem too!
"What recording?" Zhang Bingzhou asked in confusion.
"Sir, I don't know. I only heard that it was probably a recording made on March 31. The recording on that day was just a meeting between Chief He and the Soviet military attache to discuss assistance. But I heard that this recording
It’s not lost!”
In fact, Li Moqiao had already calculated clearly. He accidentally heard this recording on March 31st and stole the recording on April 4th! This recording could only have been recorded on March 31st.
Yes, it can’t be earlier!
"Are there any other recordings of meetings that day?" Zhang Bingzhou asked again.
"Sir, it seems there is none. There should be no other meetings that day, right?" Li Moqiao said cautiously.
In Zhang Bingzhou's view, this matter has no beginning and no end! But the most terrifying thing in the world is this kind of beginning and no end!
Zhang Bingzhou is in danger at this time and is being secretly used by the Japanese! He must pay careful attention to various things happening in front of and behind him, and cannot be careless for a moment!
Therefore, Zhang Bingzhou was the second person to be alarmed by this incident!
2-15
The next morning, Zhang Bingzhou walked into the office of his immediate superior, Deputy Director of the Military Command Department Liu Fei, as usual.
He first reported some normal work and had a brief discussion with his superiors.
Afterwards, he put away his notebook and pretended to leave.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at Liu Fei with doubtful eyes and said casually: "Sir, I heard some inexplicable news yesterday, saying that the Secretary's Office recorded a record on March 31st.
The next big recording.”
Liu Fei looked at him unexpectedly, "What recording are you talking about? March 31st?"
"In my impression, March 31st was the day I discussed aid with Chuikov. Is this recording so important?"
"Brother Bingzhou, why do you care about this matter?"
"Sir, I'm surprised. I heard later that this recording was lost! Now people from the military commander and other intelligence departments are secretly looking for this recording! The recording of our meeting with Chuikov was stolen! It shouldn't be the case!"
"You're talking about March 31st?" Liu Fei's eyes were already staring!
At this point, Liu Fei is the third person to be alarmed!
He quickly remembered that on March 31, if there was an important meeting in the conference room, it could only be the conversation between Chief He and Chuikov, the military attache of the Soviet Embassy in China. Although that conversation should be kept confidential, it was not important.
To this extent!
On that day, only a very small meeting convened by Chief He was the most important! It could even be said to be extremely important!
The importance of this meeting lies in what Chief He said before leaving!
He said: "Only the four of us know the meaning of what I said today! No one is allowed to leak it!"
