Chapter 131 Dragnet
Wusheng Road intersection.
Tanaka Daiei was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, resting. Two strong men in suits walked over from the street, and one of them came to the car door and knocked on the window.
Tanaka Daiei rolled down the car window, and the burly man leaned over and reported in a low voice, "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, Kobayashi-kun and I went to Xiong's Noodle House and each had a bowl of beef noodles and a little wine. We were there for over half an hour, but we haven't noticed anything unusual going on at Xiong's Noodle House!"
"We've asked the staff at the noodle shop and several neighboring shops. This Xiong Ji Noodle Shop has been open for over ten years, and the owner is from eastern Shandong!"
Tanaka Daiei was thinking after hearing this when another plainclothes agent came over and got on the car from the other side.
"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, I've inquired and found out that there is a house for rent on the second floor diagonally opposite Xiong's Noodle House, but I haven't contacted the landlord to discuss the price yet!" the plainclothes agent reported.
Tanaka Daiei immediately said, "Go find the landlord and rent that house. Then you will stay in that house and monitor Xiong Ji Noodle House day and night!"
"Hi!"
The spies acted quickly. In less than an hour, the house rental procedures were completed. After driving out the landlord, the spies from the Special High Technology Bureau hid in the house and monitored Xiong Ji Noodle House through the windows.
All this was done quietly, and the people at Xiong Ji Noodle House were completely unaware.
"You stay here to monitor, I will arrange your meals. If you find any unusual situation at Xiong's Noodle House or see Chen Xiangling appear, call and report immediately. I will go back to the department and report the situation here to Section Chief Akao!" Tanaka Daiei ordered the spies who stayed behind to monitor.
"Hi!"
Tanaka Daiei quickly returned to the Special High Technology Department and met Akao Hiroichi, who was giving orders to the operations team leader Kishibe Masao.
Akao Hiroichi signaled Tanaka Daiei to wait a moment. He then addressed Kishibe Masao, "Your task force is now to search for Liu Huilan. I've already informed the Military Police Headquarters to set up checkpoints at the docks, train stations, and all other important intersections leading to the outside world to intensify inspections!"
"I believe you've all witnessed the underground party's cleverness, cunning, and caution, so they'll definitely try every possible means to get away with it. The military police won't necessarily be able to see through their disguises and tricks, so I want you, the action team, to blend in with the crowds at the docks, train stations, and major intersections and carefully observe for any suspicious individuals!"
"Once you discover any trace of the underground party or Liu Huilan, do not act rashly, as they may use the crowd for cover to escape after being startled. You must follow them and use the terrain and any favorable conditions to capture them!"
"have you understood?"
Shore Zhengyong stood at attention and lowered his head and said, "Hi!"
"You go first. Hurry up and make arrangements. Liu Huilan and Chen Xiangling are underground members after all. They are organized and not ordinary criminals or bandits. Even if they want to escape the isolated island, they need to consult their superiors in advance. They can only evacuate after their superiors make arrangements. So it's not too late for us to make arrangements now, but we must hurry and set up a tight net before they escape!"
After Kishibe Masao left, Akao Hiroichi looked at Tanaka Daiei and asked, "How are you doing over there?"
Tanaka Daiei bent down and said, "Chief Akao, we've found the noodle shop. It's called Xiong's Noodle Shop. Business is pretty good. The owner is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. I've arranged for someone to rent a room on the second floor across from the noodle shop for surveillance, and we haven't found anything unusual so far!"
"I also sent people in disguised as diners to eat noodles and drink wine. We conducted a simple investigation and found no trace of Chen Xiangling!"
Akao Hiroichi said nonchalantly, "Xiong's Noodle House is an important clue. It's not surprising that we didn't notice anything unusual at first. Since Chen Xiangling is very familiar with the owner of the noodle house, there's no guarantee that she won't show up there again, so we need to be patient!"
"And we haven't found any other clues yet, so we must keep a close eye on this clue!"
Tanaka Daiei stood at attention and said, "Hi!"
……
Zhang Yunhe drove quietly back to his home in the Hengshan Road apartment in the afternoon. He first scanned the area several times with the Iron Blood Mask and found no suspicious people hiding nearby or in the apartment building. Only then did he go upstairs and enter the house.
After a thorough inspection, no signs of intrusion were found.
"It seems that the Japs haven't found this place yet. Regardless of whether they can find it or not, I can't bet on it. This place is no longer habitable!"
Zhang Yunhe muttered to himself, and first found out the gold, silver dollars, French francs, US dollars, British pounds and other valuables hidden by his wife and put them into the backpack space.
He then packed some of his and his wife's clothes, shoes and hats into the backpack space. Before leaving, he also placed a signal device in a hidden place in the living room facing the door.
Once someone comes in, the signal device automatically starts collecting information and sends it to the Iron Blood computer in Zhang Yunhe's hand simultaneously.
The lease for this apartment still has more than a month left. If no outsiders come in during this period, it means that the Special High Technology Bureau has not found out more information about his wife and him, and he can then be completely relieved.
But if the spies came here, it would mean that his public identity had also come into the sight of the Special High Technology Bureau, and then he would have to carry out another major purge of the Special High Technology Bureau.
In fact, he was not very willing to do so. Killing people is fun, and killing Japanese soldiers is especially fun, but it is much easier to deal with an opponent you know well than to deal with an opponent you know nothing about.
Even if he killed all the Japanese in the Special High Technology Bureau, its top leaders would certainly continue to rebuild the Special High Technology Bureau, or use other spy and intelligence organizations as names, which would be more difficult to deal with because he would have to spend a lot of time and energy to understand the enemy's new spy organizations and personnel information.
To put it bluntly, the current Special High Technology Bureau is actually under the control of Zhang Yunhe. He can easily obtain a lot of intelligence from the Special High Technology Bureau every day, some important and some trivial. Once the Special High Technology Bureau poses a threat to him, he can receive the news in time and carry out targeted elimination.
This mode is what he likes, it’s so cool.
Driving back to his new home near Yihua Foreign Trade Company, Zhang Yunhe parked the car at the door, got out, opened the trunk and carried all the luggage in.
"I have retrieved all the clothes, luggage, money and valuables from over there. I also bought some vegetables. You prepare dinner, and I'll go out for a walk and observe the weather and wind!" Zhang Yunhe instructed.
"Then you better be careful!" Liu Huilan hurriedly warned.
"understood!"
After Zhang Yunhe went out, he drove around the streets and first went to the train station. As he expected, the train station had increased the number of gendarmerie to set up checkpoints to check passengers entering and leaving the station.
Next, he drove to various docks. Without exception, at all the major docks under the control of the Japanese army, there were military police standing guard and setting up checkpoints to check passengers' documents and verify photos.
Only the docks under the jurisdiction of foreigners in the concession did not have Japanese military police, but Zhang Yunhe did not believe that the Special High Technology Bureau and the Military Police would give up monitoring these docks.
He parked the car at a distance to observe, and indeed found some people behaving abnormally. Although these people were busy disguised as people from various industries, their eyes kept looking towards the dock gate from time to time, obviously conducting secret surveillance.
