"The tunnel was dug under the telephone exchange. What are the Japanese doing?..."
"Connect to the telephone exchange room and wait for opportunities to eavesdrop."
"tapping?"
"right."
"Dig a tunnel and you can tap phone calls?"
"Of course it's not that simple. The telephone exchange should have their internal response, and the internal response should be coordinated with the outside, so that they have the opportunity to connect the lines. The cabinet is not connected to the power supply, which means that the time is not yet ripe. Maybe after a while, the cabinet can be connected to the telephone exchange room.
, if that is the case, it is equivalent to replicating a computer room. In the eyes of the Japanese, there will no longer be any secrets in the concession."
"What benefit does eavesdropping on the phone calls in the concession bring to the Japanese?"
"The public settlement represents the interests of countries such as Britain and the United States. Japan is very wary of these countries. If they can eavesdrop on the phone, they can make timely adjustments to countermeasures on some major issues."
After a slight pause, Jiang Bin said hesitantly: "No, where did the soil dug out from the tunnel go? There are so many workers in the cotton mill, wouldn't they be suspicious when they see new soil being transported out?"
Xu Siqi explained: "At the beginning, Yihe Cotton Mill dug soil from the Wuming River, in name it was to pad the yard, but in fact it was to confuse the public. I estimate that the tunnel digging must have been done at night. When the workers went to work in the morning, they saw the yard
If there is new soil in it, you would think it was transported from the Wuming River."
"The devil is as high as the road, and Japan has tried so hard, but in the end it all came to nothing." Jiang Bin couldn't help laughing.
Xu Siqi frowned: "There is a problem that I can't figure out. The underground air is humid, and there are electrical facilities such as cabinets. Normally, ventilation facilities should be installed. Why did a sink be installed instead? The poisonous gas you mentioned, I think.
The possibility is very small."
"Why?"
"The corridor is like a simple computer room. Once the connection is successful, at least ten people must be arranged to eavesdrop on the phone. These people stay in there all day long, and they will not wear gas masks to work. First, it is inconvenient, and second, it is completely unnecessary."
"..."
Jiang Bin was stunned for a while and suddenly said: "That cement pipe...could it be a vent?"
Xu Siqi nodded: "It's very possible. Otherwise, the pipeline will have no practicality."
Jiang Bin waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's whatever you love. Anyway, in a few hours, when the bomb goes off, everything will be gone."
"How many bombs have you packed?" Xu Siqi asked.
"10."
"so much?"
"The Japanese built the basement like a bomb-proof cave. It is very strong. I am worried that the bomb power is not enough. The more the better."
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "Instructor Yu will definitely complain that you don't know how to save when he hears you say that."
Jiang Bin also laughed and said: "I estimate that the entrance to the basement is probably in the power distribution room. Put a few more bombs and see if they can blow down the office building."
"What time is the time?"
"Five o'clock in the morning."
Xu Siqi glanced at his watch: "Go to rest early. I will take you out of the concession early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Bin had a gun on him and other items in his bag. It was undoubtedly the safest way to leave the concession in Inspector Hua's car.
…
At four o'clock in the morning, with a series of dull explosions, the warehouse of Yihe Cotton Factory collapsed suddenly. The office building shook for a few times and finally survived.
Many residents near Sanma Road woke up from their dreams and thought there was an earthquake.
At dawn, Yihe Cotton Mill posted a notice: An explosion occurred in the boiler in the factory, causing the factory building to collapse. Fortunately, the accident occurred at night, and there were no casualties. The factory has temporarily suspended production, and will be notified when it will resume. To all the neighbors affected by this,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Since no casualties were caused, the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau naturally felt that one more thing would be better than one less thing. Apart from reminding each company to check the pressure vessels, it did not conduct an investigation into the accident.
Even if the Ministry of Industry and Engineering sent people to inspect the site, all they would see was ruins.
Sakai likes to hide his troubles, knowing that someone is causing trouble secretly, but there is nothing he can do about it.
In fact, he and Nakamura were both from special higher education courses, and had been lurking in the public concession for a long time in the name of running Yihe Cotton Mill.
Their only mission was to build a replica telephone exchange room and eavesdrop on important phone calls in the concession.
That night, Sakai Kizo entered the Japanese consulate through the corner gate.
In a room without any signs, Nantian Yunzi sat behind the desk, looked at the uneasy Sakai Kizou, and said: "Didn't you notice anything unusual before the incident?"
"Reporting to Section Chief Nantian, according to your instructions, I will personally enter the basement to check every day. I did not see anything abnormal that day."
"Someone sneaked in and installed a powerful bomb, and they dared to say that they didn't see anything unusual?"
"To say it's abnormal..."
"explain!"
"Yes. At about 11 o'clock last night, people from the patrol room came to the cotton factory..."
"People from the patrol room? What are they doing here?"
"Search for wanted criminal Lin Wangchuan. At that time, Lin Wangchuan was desperate and fled into Yihe Cotton Factory."
"Is it true?"
"It's true. We confirmed this in the patrol room's internal line. Later, the patrol did catch Lin Wangchuan."
"Who is Lin Wangchuan?"
"He is a famous snitch in Shanghai and has been wanted by the patrol room."
"Who is responsible for leading the patrol room?"
"Detective Inspector Xu Siqi." "Is it him?"
Nantian Yunzi frowned.
Kizo Sakai bowed and said: "There is a problem at Ichiwa Cotton Mill, and my subordinates are willing to accept the punishment!"
"Who do you think did it?"
"Either the concession, or the Kuomintang party, such as the Secret Service, or the Party Affairs Investigation Department..."
"Are you out of your mind? If it was the concession, why would they still do this? The patrol office would have come directly to arrest people!"
"yes!"
After a moment of silence, Nantian Yunzi's tone suddenly softened and said: "Forget it, it has happened. There is no point in complaining to you."
"Thank you, Section Chief Nantian..."
"However, if such a big thing happens, someone must take responsibility. Sakai-kun, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"Chief Nantian, please give me another chance. Within two years...oh, no. Within one year, I promise to build another tunnel!" Sakai Kizo's voice became hoarse due to nervousness.
Nantian Yunzi scolded: "Silly words! The matter has been exposed, how can we build another tunnel!"
"..."
Sakai Kizou broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
Nantian Yunzi picked up the tea bowl, blew the floating tea foam gently, and said lightly: "Sakai-kun, for you, there is one last chance to make atonement for your sins."
"The deadline is one month. If you still don't have an answer within the time limit, go to the punishment room and commit seppuku to apologize to the emperor. When the time comes, I will give you a decent funeral."
