Cicada Moving

 Chapter 376 The First Day

 Early the next morning.

“In front is Huiwen Girls’ School, whose full name is Huiwen Girls’ Middle School. It was founded in the previous dynasty and was first established by American missionaries. In the 19th year of the Republic of China, it became a national girls’ middle school with the approval of the government.

Section Chief, Min Ping lives in Tangzi Lane next to Huiwen Girls' School. This place was originally a dormitory for school staff. Last year, the girls' school opened a new dormitory, and these houses were rented and sold. "

Wu Chunyang was introducing the situation to Zuo Zhong in a two-story house, holding a handwritten topographic map in his hand. The sun had already risen, and the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the street began to increase.

“Have the deployment and control arrangements been made?”

Zuo Zhong looked at the surrounding environment. In fact, he was very familiar with this place. Not only him, but all the old agents in the Intelligence Division were familiar with it, because the Jiadi Jigo Lane of the Secret Service was not far away.

The Japanese placed their residences here, probably for the sake of darkness, but now it makes it easier for them to move around. As the home base of the Secret Service, there are too many surveillance points that can be used near Site A.

Wu Chunyang was full of confidence: "It has been arranged a long time ago. On Zhujiang Road and Zhongshan Road, which intersect with Tangzi Lane, there are brothers with cameras to take pictures of passers-by. I have brought all Corey's films."

"That's good."

Zuo Zhong nodded with satisfaction: "This mission is very important. Pay special attention to pedestrians and vehicles that can see the target windows. Tianfu should appear to confirm whether the target is safe."

"Chief, you said that Tianfu is lurking in the Central Hospital. Do you need to use photos for comparison? If so, the film may not be enough." Wu Chunyang frowned and said it was difficult.

He received the order last night and immediately brought people here after finishing the inquiry. He originally thought that Tianfu was going to be searched on the spot, but he didn't expect that the section chief told him the latest situation when he came this morning.

That means Tianfu may be hiding in the Central Hospital. He believed the section chief's speculation, but the target residence was at the intersection of two main roads, and there were many pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

 “Then go buy it, don’t be afraid of spending money.”

Zuo Zhong's answer was very generous: "This case was assigned directly by the chairman of the committee, and all funds were allocated. Even if all the film in Jinling City is bought up, everyone must be photographed."

The right does not expire and become invalid. It is rare to collect the wool of a bald head, so you have to spend it. In this era, there is no digital camera equipment, so we can only use this stupid method to collect facial data.

Wu Chunyang showed a relaxed smile: "That's no problem. I'll ask someone to buy it in a while. I'll also buy some more photo developing solution. I'll take a batch here and develop a batch later."

“Yes, this can reduce a lot of waiting time. The person delivering the film must do a good job of disguise. The other party may appear at any time and at any time. There must be no omissions.”

Zuo Zhong held up the binoculars and looked at the people exercising on the playground of Huiwen Girls' School. He complimented, "Don't get me wrong. His attention was mainly on the handyman cleaning the house."

From the surrounding terrain, the school is the most suitable observation location. Tianfu will definitely not be a teacher or a student. Neither of these identities is convenient for conducting intelligence operations. The handyman has much more freedom.

However, after watching for a long time, these handymen behaved normally. They kept their heads down sweeping the floor or cleaning up garbage, and did not pay too much attention to Tangzi Alley. Of course, it is possible that he did not see it.

 “Send someone to touch the school handyman’s bottom.”

Zuo Zhong thought about it and still felt that he could not let go of any possibility.

"yes."

Wu Chunyang summoned a secret agent and gave the agent a few instructions in a low voice.

While they were talking, at the surveillance points on Zhujiang Road and Zhongshan Road, many spies were constantly pressing the shutter, taking pictures of pedestrians and vehicles, quickly consuming expensive film.

Every person passing by was secretly photographed twice, one from the front and one from the side. This method can prevent missed shots, ensure the accuracy of the photos, and will not affect subsequent comparisons.

In a cotton store at Beimen Bridge next to Tangzi Lane, a spy lay behind the door and carefully photographed the outside. The roll of film ran out quickly, and he immediately put the camera behind him.

 “Take it, put it in.”

The camera that had used up the film was immediately taken away, and another camera with new film was handed to the agent. The agent took the camera without saying a word and continued to concentrate on shooting.

Behind him, several agents were busy working in full swing. According to Zuo Zhong's arrangement, today's filming cameras were working non-stop, just like the assembly lines in later generations of factories, dividing labor and cooperating.

 There are people who are responsible for taking photos, some who are responsible for loading film, some who are responsible for taking out film, and some who are responsible for maneuvering tasks. There are even several backup cameras prepared, and the cooperation is very tacit.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ded.

After a while, there was a rhythmic knock on the back door of the cotton store. The agent opened the door a crack with a pistol in hand. Only when he was sure it was him outside did he put down the gun and handed an iron box out. The other party took the iron box with his left hand, and also handed an iron box into his right hand, then turned around and left. Without saying a word between the two parties, they completed the handover of the old and new films in silence.

All this was seen by Zuo Zhong. As Wu Chunyang's command point, it was the most basic requirement to be able to see all the surveillance points clearly. Seeing that his men were so cautious, he was very satisfied.

“Brothers did a good job, but in the future you can place some debris at the joints to block the view from high places. Forget it this time, there is no other commanding height except ours.

Min Ping's time to release the information is 6 p.m., and it takes at least 20 minutes to get from Tangzi Lane to Kunlu Temple. Photos will stop at 5:40 p.m. Then you can accompany me to the Central Hospital.

I've left the investigation and control over there to Gui Youguang. I hope this guy doesn't make any mistakes. If something like Renxin Hospital happens again, he won't even want to go to the Northeast. He should go back to Hangzhou to teach students. "

Zuo Zhong talked about the next plan. From the operation mode of the intelligence team and Tianfu's cautious character, he concluded that Tianfu was acting alone and must leave enough time to go to Kunlu Temple.

 Only 20 minutes are left. Considering that the other party has a car, the road is not congested, and the other party directly collects intelligence, the time cannot be shorter.

Otherwise, the other party will miss the process of monitoring Min Ping's intelligence release. The other party will definitely avoid this situation. It is tantamount to self-exposure. No intelligence officer would do this.

 In fact, if it were not for insurance, the surveillance in Tangzi Alley could have ended earlier, because Tianfu wanted to ensure the safety around the dead mailbox, and would definitely conduct a long period of observation.

 In short, 20 minutes is enough.

Wu Chunyang understood what Zuo Zhong meant, looked at the map in his hand, simulated the route in his mind, and then nodded cautiously. This arrangement was indeed very safe, unless Tianfu could fly.

The two of them stopped talking and looked for suspicious people around them, but maybe Tianfu was well hidden, or maybe he didn't appear near Tangzi Lane at all, so everyone found nothing.

This is the real intelligence squatting. You may not find anything for a month or a year, but you cannot relax at all, because the enemy may come the moment you relax.

In order to minimize the risk of exposure, Zuo Zhong and his men ate and went to the bathroom inside the house. You can imagine how complex the smell was. Coupled with the closed doors and windows, the smoke made people dizzy.

"hey-hey."

Wu Chunyang suddenly laughed: "Section Chief, did you see that even the mosquitoes are walking around us, so we don't get bitten all over our body. Fortunately, the hottest period has passed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to treat people at all."

 Listening to this guy's joyful teasing, a smile appeared on Zuo Zhong's face. The squatting action was because he was afraid of the heat rather than the cold. If he was cold, he could wear more clothes. There was nowhere to hide in the heat, which made people extremely irritated.

He looked back and said: "Arrange for everyone to take turns to rest and maintain their strength. If you feel uncomfortable, please report it. Don't force yourself. If you faint in this place, you can only ask for good luck."

 “Yes, section chief.”

The agents whispered back, and those who could hold on continued to sit still. Those who couldn't hold on found a place to lie down and recover their strength. If the Japanese spy was not caught for a day, they could not rest for a day.

In this way, at 5:30 in the afternoon, all the operators took time to rest for a while, and as the outdoor temperature dropped significantly, the room was finally no longer so stuffy.

 It’s time to go to the Central Hospital.

Zuo Zhong tightened his collar, looked at his watch and said, "All personnel will continue to monitor. Chief Wu and I will go to other sites. If there is any situation, someone in the liaison office will know where I am."

 No one is allowed to act without my order. The film must be developed as soon as possible, and the suspicious persons or vehicles in it must be carefully studied. You must be careful and your whereabouts must not be exposed. "

After saying that, he took Wu Chunyang and drove towards Kunlu Temple. It was the rush hour at this time, and the car could only move at a speed of thirty or forty miles, which made Wu Chunyang who was driving a little anxious.

If you miss today's meeting, the next meeting will be three days later. The intelligence battlefield changes instantly. A lot can happen in three days. If Tianfu escapes, all the efforts will be wasted.

 “Be patient, don’t be impatient, and drive slowly.”

Zuo Zhong leaned on the car seat and looked at the bustling traffic outside the window: "Today we are just doing preliminary reconnaissance. It is good to find the other party, but it is not a big deal if we can't. There is no need to worry."

Wu Chunyang lifted the accelerator, gave up the plan of overtaking, made several anti-tracking maneuvers, and slowly picked up the destination while mixing in the traffic. When he arrived near Kunlu Temple, it was only five minutes away from 6 o'clock.

He drove around and looked at a cigarette vendor on the side of the road. He slowly stopped the car, took out his wallet and bought a pack of cigarettes. The vendor whispered something while passing the cigarettes.

 “The 3rd floor of the Construction Committee Building.”

Wu Chunyang took the cigarette and nodded, and drove away without replying. The Construction Committee was only two to three hundred meters away, across the road, and the huge marble gatehouse was very conspicuous.
