Cicada Moving - Chapter 407
Chapter 407 Dragnet
Flaw?
Tianfu’s reaction during yesterday’s interrogation was very professional. Everything he said and did was carefully considered. There seemed to be nothing wrong. He even wanted to use his words to influence the interrogators.
Would such a person leave any loopholes in the conversation? The possibility is very small, at least he didn’t hear it. But there must be a reason for the section chief to say this. Could it be that he missed some clues?
Wu Chunyang thought about it. At that time, Tianfu first mentioned Min Ping’s code name Tianji, wanting to test how much they knew about the situation. He also said that he should not be soft-hearted and should kill Tianji directly to silence him.
Then there was a verbal exchange between the two parties. The section chief’s use of money led to the safe house. The other party remained silent about this and did not leak any valuable information. What was the flaw?
He thought for a while and said uncertainly: “Section Chief, is there something wrong with the word soft-hearted? With the style of a Japanese spy, there will never be such a thing as soft-hearted. He wants to expose Min Ping.”
“Yes, this is unusual, isn’t it?”
Zuo Zhong had a smile on his face: “It is very suspicious for a Japanese spy to say that he is soft-hearted. It is even more suspicious for a captured Japanese spy to take the initiative to expose his accomplices, so why would he do this?
There are two possibilities. The first is that he is sure that Min Ping has rebelled. It doesn’t matter whether he says it or not. But we haven’t said anything about Min Ping. Tianfu cannot be 100% sure about this.
Second, Min Ping’s exposure was planned. He wanted to use this incident to achieve a certain purpose. He himself was arrested. What purpose he could achieve must be to protect the remaining Japanese spies.
Even though the first point was uncertain, Tianfu still gave out the code name of his accomplice, and his intention was obvious, which was to bring Min Ping into our field of vision and attract our attention.
Since Min Ping is a chess piece that needs to be sacrificed, telling her code name will not hurt the Nandou team, regardless of whether she rebels or not. If Min Ping does not rebel, it will just cover the retreat of other Japanese spies. “
At this point, Zuo Zhong stopped and gave Wu Chunyang some time to react. This was a very simple logical inference. He was surprised at the time when the Japanese spies became so talkative.
The average spy enters the interrogation room and either says nothing, or denies and plays dumb, and will never take the initiative to mention the case itself. Based on this alone, he is sure that Tianfu is playing a trick.
Min Ping really made a right choice, otherwise she would have died in the end.
“I understand the section chief. If my guess is correct, Tianfu will continue to test whether we are cooperating with Min Ping, because his suspicion of Min Ping is just speculation and needs evidence to support it.
If he confirms that Min Ping has been captured or rebelled, he will definitely remain silent and buy time for his offline to escape. If he cannot confirm, he will confess Min Ping to us. “
Wu Chunyang’s tone was very positive, and then he suddenly realized: “Chief, you didn’t answer Tianfu’s question yesterday. You only talked about money. In addition to trying to elicit the address of the safe house, you also wanted to confuse the other party.”
Zuo Zhong slightly raised his forehead: “Yes, he mentioned the secret to test, and it is not appropriate to respond or not. In this case, you will not follow his train of thought, disrupt his pace, and make this guy confused.
Jiang Zhaoqing is circling the city now, and it will be a while before he gets here. Let’s talk about what we should do next after knowing this matter, and how to find other Japanese spies. Let’s speak boldly. “
Wu Chunyang didn’t hesitate much and said firmly: “Wait, wait until the warning message is issued, and immediately block Jinling’s external channels. Highways, waterways, stations, docks, and train stations must be blocked.
Our manpower is definitely not enough, and we must have the help of the city defense headquarters. After completing the blockade, our people will be broken up and placed at various checkpoints for surveillance and screening, one in the dark and one in the dark.
If you encounter anyone who behaves suspiciously, makes a sudden U-turn at a checkpoint, takes a side road instead of taking the main road, has no luggage on you, or carries a weapon with you, you will be arrested regardless of his or her identity.
As for Jiang Zhaoqing and the newspaper’s spies, they can take action on their way out of the city. In this way, we have four people in the Nandou team, and we have an explanation for both the superiors and the subordinates. “
He looked at the problem from a political perspective. Shangfeng and the chief didn’t care how the case was solved. They only looked at the numbers. If 6 people caught 4, it was an out-and-out victory.
ÂÂÂÂ
Zuo Zhong patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: “You kid has finally learned how to be an official. Sometimes the process is not important, but the result is; sometimes the result is not important, but the process is important.
But more often than not, neither the process nor the result is important. Do you know what is most important? The satisfaction of the superiors is the most important. You follow me for the rest of the actions. Others have their own tasks. “
After speaking, Zuo Zhong walked to the phone in the room with a smile and picked up the receiver: “Hey, is this the monitoring room? Don’t be careless about the monitoring work of Jinling Evening News. Help me get to the office immediately.”
At this time, Song Minghao came close to Wu Chunyang and whispered: “The section chief has made arrangements a long time ago. Except for deputy section chief Gu who is sitting in the section, Gui Youguang went to Tianfu’s residence, and everyone else went to the checkpoint in the city.
Wu Jingzhong is in charge of the east side of the city, I am in charge of the south side, Shen Dongxin is in charge of the west side of the city, you and the section chief are in charge of the north side of the city, and all the new people in the department are also in charge. This time our Intelligence Section is really all mobilized. ” Wu Chunyang nodded when he heard this. The section chief once again thought about what was ahead of him. With so many experienced agents blocking the passage out of the city, people from the Nandou team could not easily leave Jinling.
Just why did the section chief want to go to the north of the city and drag him along? Could it be that the Japanese spies would leave the city through the north of the city? The central gate in the north of the city is a key point with the largest number of defenders. Going there is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap.
The remaining Xiaobei Gate and Jinchuan Gate are also the key points of Jinling city defense. For example, there is a station at Jinchuan Gate and there is an army camp near the Xiaobei Gate. The Japanese would not have thought of these. He was a little confused.
“Reporting to you, sir, we have just determined the whereabouts of the other two members of the Nandou team. The remaining two are likely to flee Jinling. The only way to arrest them is to urgently block all passages out of the city.
Could you please coordinate with Commander Tsunegu Tani of the City Defense Headquarters and ask him to send the city defense troops to the checkpoint, with their people in the open and ours in the dark, to cooperate in handling the case. “
At this time, the phone call was connected, and Zuo Zhong asked Dai Chunfeng for instructions. The city defense force was not something he, a small section chief, could mobilize, and neither could Dai Chunfeng. Only the bald man could make the decision on this matter.
But the words cannot be said so directly, and the art of euphemism must be emphasized. He cannot say that Little Japan is running away. Virgo, please ask the chairman for instructions. In this case, where will the chief’s face be put?
The last sentence about cooperation in handling cases is also very particular. Baldhead gave the order, but it is hard to say whether Gu Jichang will cooperate seriously. Giving the sweetness of cooperation in handling cases can make the other party send troops faster.
Dai Chunfeng on the other end of the phone answered very simply: “Okay, we caught 2 people before, and found 2 people this time. There are 6 people in Nandou. I will report to the chairman immediately and ask for assistance.”
“Teacher, in addition to the city defense headquarters, the gunboats of the river defense must also be moved. It is late summer, and the air and water temperatures are not too cold. The Japanese spies may directly swim across the Yangtze River, which must be considered.
In addition, I will communicate with the Police Department and borrow their patrol boat on Xuanwu Lake. This is the current plan. Please approve it. “Zuo Chong added two more points. This time the sea and the land are really moving together.
After hearing these words, Dai Chunfeng did not answer immediately but rubbed his temples. The police cruiser was nothing, but the navy’s mobilization was a bit sensitive. Will it attract the attention of the British?
It is ridiculous to say that on the inland rivers of the Republic of China, the Nationalist government had to consider what other countries thought when mobilizing warships. But who allowed the British to have more naval power in the Yangtze River than the Republic of China navy.
He hesitated again and again before replying: “Well, we can only give it a try. If the chairman does not allow it, then send more people and vehicles to patrol along the river. It should have some effect.”
“Yes, the students understand.”
Zuo Zhong stood at attention and gently put down the receiver. What kind of country is a country that cannot even control the most important water system? However, when he turned around, the expression on his face became serious.
“You heard it, so much manpower and material resources have been used, and there must be no mistakes in the operation. You must be very careful in choosing the location of the checkpoints, and try to choose corners and hidden places.
Don’t give the spy a chance to spot the checkpoint from a distance. When the time comes, the other party will have no choice but to accept the inspection, turn around or escape. This way, it will be easy to distinguish.
If the checkpoint can only be set up in an open area, you must organize a second blockade on all the forks near the checkpoint. In short, you must catch the Japanese spies by surprise so that they cannot prepare in advance. “
Wu Chunyang and Song Minghao nodded together. This is easy to understand. The most perfect situation is for the spy to suddenly see the checkpoint, unable to advance or retreat, and find the suspicious person from his reaction.
Song Minghao then asked: “How to check these places at the station? The checkpoint is at the gate, and with the congestion of passengers, the spies can see it from a distance. If they shrink back to the city, they will be in trouble.”
Zuo Zhong had already planned: “There will be no fixed checkpoints at the bus station, and mobile inspections will be carried out. They will be checked again at the checkpoints when they leave the city. I hope that the Japanese spies will do this, and it will be easier to catch them.”
There are military police on duty at the train station and the dock itself. It is enough as normal. Our people will mix in and observe secretly. We also have to send people on the train and the boat to conduct random inspections after departure. “
Wu Chunyang gritted his teeth after hearing this. They were hunted down by the section chief. These two spies had been in trouble for eight lifetimes. No matter they went to heaven or fell into the water, they would definitely not be able to escape from this dragnet in the end.
At the same time, he also understood why the section chief was going to the north of the city, and tried to ask: “Section Chief, do you think the Japanese spies will leave Jinling through Xuanwu Lake, so you want to borrow the police patrol boat?”
“I just suspect that Xuanwu Lake cannot be completely blocked. A small boat can jump out of the city limits. This is similar to the situation near the Central Martial Arts Museum. I have asked Lao Wu to pay attention.”
Suddenly, Zuo Zhong picked up the telescope and looked outside, and whispered: “Stop talking, Jiang Zhaoqing is here. All personnel are ready to arrest him as soon as he leaves the newspaper office.”
“yes.”
