Secret War Silent

"Are you sure?"

"It's hard to say, since I'm here, I have to give it a try." Luo Yao said, "How are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm in charge of your line now, and I don't have to worry about anything else." Old Wu said, "It's just a little leisurely."

"The Japanese army is very determined to capture Jiangcheng. Their purpose is to force the Nationalist government to surrender. In my opinion, there is a high possibility that Jiangcheng will not be able to hold it." Luo Yao did not say clearly that Jiangcheng would fall in two months, and He still gave up voluntarily, but he also hoped to remind the organization that he could prepare for the evacuation as soon as possible. It is better to arrange the arrangement than to be in a hurry.

"According to the current trend, it shouldn't be a big problem for Jiangcheng to guard for half a year, right?" Old Wu didn't quite agree with this, and felt rather optimistic.

"Although some units of the national army fought well and even achieved certain victories, overall, the gap in strength is still too large. What is more important is the determination and will to resist. This is what determines whether Jiangcheng can hold The key, I don't think it will last half a year, so it's about half." Luo Yao shook his head.

"You are too pessimistic, we..."

"Old Wu, we won't argue about this issue. We'll know the result when the time comes." Luo Yao didn't want to argue with Old Wu. The purpose of his visit today was to report his recent situation to the organization, and time was tight.

After coming out of the "Zhou Zhu Ji" bamboo crafts shop, Luo Yao had an extra bamboo basket in his hand. When he came home at noon, there were two spare ribs, two potatoes, tofu and green vegetables in the basket.

Luo Yao cooks for himself, sweet and sour pork ribs, vegetable tofu soup, and a hot and sour potato shreds.

A big bowl of white rice.

It's called an incense.

Luo Yao didn't eat alone either, leaving half of it for Gong Hui.

It wasn't until after one o'clock in the afternoon that Gong Hui came back from the outside, threw a thick envelope to Luo Yao, and couldn't wait to attack the food left on the table.

After running all morning, I was tired and hungry.

Luo Yao took the envelope and went upstairs directly. It contained the signal bands and frequencies of some mysterious radio stations that Jiangcheng Station had detected in the past half a year.

Private radio stations can also be legal. Even if there is secrecy, the level of secrecy will not be too high. Some directly use plain codes, just for the sake of smooth communication, so that you don’t have to go to the telegraph office every time.

But this kind of private radio station has been reported by the government.

Only those who have evil intentions or have shady businesses will set up secret radio stations in private to communicate and command, so as not to let his secrets be seen.

In addition, there are radio stations of foreign embassies and consulates. Even if you know that they send information to the outside world, there is nothing you can do about it. They have diplomatic immunity.

And for some unknown signals, the number of external contacts is very small, even only once or twice, this kind of person may be the person Luo Yao is looking for.

Recording these signals is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task that requires patience and loneliness.

How could it be easy to find the desired enemy's secret underground radio station without these people screening out these chaotic signals and recording them?

"The Investigation Office of the Commander's Department of the Ninth War Zone received a confidential telegram from the Bureau Headquarters last night, specifying that Director Liu of the Investigation Office must sign for it." Gong Hui came upstairs after finishing her meal.

"What content?"

"I don't know, the time is about half an hour after we sent Dad the 'fishing' plan." Gong Hui shook her head.

"It seems that the problem lies with the Commander's Department of the Ninth War Zone." Luo Yao sighed slightly. If they agree and cooperate, it will be too difficult to implement.

And there will be many flaws, which are easy to be seen by opponents.

As for why the Commander of the Ninth War Zone disagreed, Luo Yao didn't want to ask, even if he asked, he would be humiliating himself, and the little man is not worthy.

"Okay, you didn't tell them about the mission to come to Jiangcheng, did you?"

"Not yet. This involves confidentiality. I just told them that there is a shortage of people in Jiangcheng District. I was selected to graduate early."

"This answer is very good. Even if they ask Jiangcheng District, Deputy District Chief Tang will cover it up for us." Luo Yao nodded.

"Shall we still do the fishing plan?"

"Since the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone does not cooperate, then we will do it alone. Besides the deployment map of the Tianjia Town Fortress, there is another important piece of information, which I think is what the 'Kappa' wants to know the most." Luo Yao said.

"You want to use your body as bait?" Gong Hui was very smart, and she understood Luo Yao's thoughts when she rolled her eyes.

"This is a last resort." Luo Yao nodded. If there was information about "Tianjia Town's fortress deployment", the Japanese military's intelligence department must be determined to win it.

Even if "Kappa" himself does not want to take action, the superior behind him will order him to do so.

As for the culprit who destroyed his carefully designed underground "secret radio station", the top Japanese army may not be interested, but it depends purely on his personal decision.

But this person is so cautious, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to be fooled. If it were him, he would not engage in a momentary dispute. It would not be worth it.

At this moment, the danger level of "him" should not be high in the Japanese military intelligence department, and they may not even know the reason why the "radio station" was exposed.

Maintaining the advantage of information asymmetry is actually what Luo Yao wants. Once he actively exposes himself, this advantage will be gone.

"I'll analyze the signals of these secret radio stations first, and when Lao Liu and the others come over at night, we'll collect all the information we've found, and then we'll study what to do next," Luo Yao ordered.

"Well, then I'll go down." Gong Hui nodded.

……

In the evening, Liu Jinbao, Xiaobei, and Yan Ming all came over.

Luo Yao stayed upstairs all afternoon and didn't go downstairs. Naturally, he didn't have time to go out to buy vegetables or cook. Gong Hui bought some from a nearby delicatessen.

Just deal with it.

After eating, he took out his cigarettes and took a walk around. Gong Hui and Xiaodongbei didn't smoke, while Liu Jinbao and Yan Ming did. The three bongs gathered together, naturally they couldn't smoke.

Gong Hui and Xiao Dongbei cleaned up the dishes, and when they came back, they had almost run out of cigarettes.

"Old Liu, what did you gain today?" Luo Yao stubbed out the cigarette butt, and asked first.

"Through my past social connections, I inquired about the working situation of Xiaomi Katayama in Deming Restaurant. According to an old kitchen staff who had worked in Deming Restaurant for more than five years, Xiaomi Katashan, whose pseudonym was 'Sun Jia', I came to interview the pastry chef three years ago, won unanimous praise for her exquisite craftsmanship, and got this job..."

"The back kitchen chef of Deming Hotel is not an ordinary person who can enter. He must be recommended to be interviewed. Who is the person recommended to Katayama Xiaomi?"

"An Englishman named Cleaver." Liu Jinbao obviously knew what question Luo Yao would ask next, and then replied, "This Cleaver is an insurance broker. He used to be a reporter in China. Jiangcheng is the guest of honor of many dignitaries."

Chapter 0067 The Waiter

"Is this Cliff still in Jiangcheng?"

"I don't know about this yet, it's just one day, that's all I can find out." Liu Jinbao spread his hands, expressing that he is not a superman, and there is no way he can finish so many things in one day.

"Continue tomorrow, get a feel for Cliff's situation, the more detailed the better." Luo Yao ordered.

"Okay."

"Yan Ming, how is the investigation of your social relations with Chuan?"

Yan Ming hesitated, and said: "I haven't made much progress here, Ji Chuan's alias 'Liu Ming', almost the same time as Yoshida, bought this bookstore, because it can import some foreign periodicals, the business and word of mouth are very good in the circle. Not bad, no one would have guessed that this Liu Ming is actually a Japanese, or a Japanese spy, and now this bookstore has closed, no one dares to take over..."

"Oh, hasn't the bookstore taken over yet?"

"No, the landlord is in a hurry, but he doesn't dare to dispose of the books in that room casually. Also, the previous boss was a Japanese spy, so no one is afraid of getting into trouble, so the bookstore is closed now." Yan Ming said.

"Yan Ming, go find this landlord, take over this bookstore, change the name, and continue to operate." Luo Yao said after thinking for a while.

"I, open a bookstore, boss, I don't understand this?" Yan Ming asked in surprise.

"We need to prepare for a long-term stay in Jiangcheng. If we don't finish this case, we will leave." Luo Yao explained, "Therefore, it is very necessary to arrange a few cover points or contact points for us, and you also To have a normal identity is convenient for activities in Jiangcheng."

"What about me?" Liu Jinbao asked.

"Old Liu, you used to work in the spy brigade of the Xiakou Police Headquarters. I want you to return to the spy brigade." Luo Yao thought for a while and said.

"Okay, if the task requires, I can go back, so that I can use this status to help you do things." Liu Jinbao understood that now they are alone and need help.

"But how do I go back?"

"It's easy to handle, I'll make arrangements to ensure that you won't be suspected at all when you go back, and maybe you can get a promotion." Luo Yao laughed.

"That's nice." Liu Jinbao grinned, and it was naturally different when he returned to work in a familiar place.

"Mao'er, follow Yan Ming. His bookstore needs a buddy. After the two of you buy the bookstore, you will have a formal identity and a foothold." Luo Yao pointed to Xiaodongdong and said.

"Yes."

"By the way, Boss, this Katashan Xiaomi likes to drink coffee very much. He often goes to a coffee shop called 'Twilight'." Liu Jinbao suddenly remembered something and said.

"What?" Not only Luo Yao was startled, but Gong Hui was also surprised.

"I've also heard it from people, but I don't know the details. I heard that Twilight Coffee House is very famous in the French Concession, and many people like to drink coffee there." Liu Jinbao continued.

Twilight Café again!

Yoshida Shoushan made an appointment with "Lin Miao", and the place was chosen at Twilight Cafe.

The waiter who greeted Yoshida, unusual conversation?

The wrapping paper of Twilight Cafe desserts found in Oikawa's Songtao Bookstore...

Now, there is another Katayama Xiaomi, and he seems to have an unusual relationship with Twilight Coffee House.

Is all of this a coincidence?

It's not that Luo Yao doesn't believe in coincidences, it's that there are too few coincidences in this world. He studies mathematics and knows that the probability is too low. If one or two things coincide, it can be justified, but so many coincidences add up.

That's not a coincidence, there must be an internal connection.

Luo Yao decided in his heart that he and Gong Hui would go to this Twilight Coffee House again tomorrow. There seemed to be too many mysteries in this place waiting for him to solve.

……

"Why are you so focused on this Cliff?" Tang Xin was very surprised when Luo Yao mentioned the word "Cliver".

"Why, are you also suspicious of this person?"

"This person is quite well-known in Jiangcheng. On the surface, he is an insurance broker. He comes and goes by car or hails a car, and all the people who come and go are officials, businessmen and celebrities in Jiangcheng. However, this person has another identity behind his back. That is an intelligence broker." Tang Xin introduced.

"Information broker, isn't this just the person we're looking for?" Luo Yao wasn't surprised. Cleaver was definitely not just an insurance broker.

"This guy is an Englishman with consular jurisdiction. Even if we know what he is doing and we don't have conclusive evidence, we dare not touch him easily."

"Then capture his evidence!" Luo Yao said.

"Okay, what are you going to do?" Tang Xin thought for a while, and agreed to Luo Yao's approach. As long as he can catch evidence that Cleaver is a spy, he can use this to coerce him into doing things for me.

"Since this guy is a lone traveler, the sources of information should be people he associates with or what he saw with his own eyes, or through investigations. But how does he pass on information, or trade with those who need it?" Luo Yao analyzed, " As you said just now, he is a British citizen, so even if he has consular jurisdiction, some crimes are not involved, right? By the way, this kind of person is generally not checked when he sends letters out, right? "

"Yes, once it is discovered, it will cause diplomatic disputes." Tang Xin said, "Unless evidence of spying is found in the letter."

"Extreme times, extraordinary means, at this time, can you still take care of this?" Luo Yao said, Lao Tzu is about to perish, so why do you care about the so-called extrajudicial power of foreigners?

Tang Xin nodded: "I will send someone to follow him 24 hours a day, and I will notify you immediately if there is any situation."

"it is good."

……

"Boss Mu, we are here again."

"Mr. Qin, Ms. Hui, welcome." Lao Mu greeted them warmly, welcomed the two of them to their old seats and sat down.

"As long as Boss Mu doesn't bother us, we can come every day."

"Don't bother, don't bother, we are open for business, there is no reason to dislike customers." Lao Mu smiled all over his face, "You two are still the same today?"

"Well, as usual."

"Boss Mu, I won't eat dessert today, and I have a dinner party to attend later." Gong Hui added.

"Okay." Lao Mu agreed, then turned around and ordered the barista to make coffee.

About 10 minute passed.

Lao Mu came over with coffee himself.

"Every time I come here, Boss Mu personally serves me. Qin is really flattered." Luo Yao stood up, took his own coffee and said.

"Our Boss Mu, as long as the guests are eye-catching, we will personally entertain them." The waiter who was carrying the fruit plate explained.

Luo Yao chuckled: "So that's the case."

"Don't listen to him, as for me, I really like to chat with guests, and when I meet someone I can chat with, I'm naturally willing to chat a little more." Lao Mu nodded slightly and said, "You two take it easy, I'll go to work first. "

"Please." Luo Yao also nodded slightly.

"This Boss Mu is really interesting." Gong Hui added a cube of sugar, and while gently stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, said to Luo Yao in a low voice, clearly meaning something.

"For a while, find an excuse to go to the bathroom and touch the layout inside." Luo Yao lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, and ordered.

"Ok. What about you?"

"I want to hear what they have to say." Luo Yao explained.

……

"Boss, why do you pay so much attention to that Qin?" the barista asked Lao Mu in a low voice.
