Chapter 266: Strange Things in the Black Market
Chapter 266: Strange Things in the Black Market
The Secret Service Bureau holds weekly meetings to discuss work direction and content.
At this time.
The subordinate Wu Fei knocked on the door and pushed it open.
"Is there any emergency?" Gao Bing asked.
"It's not an urgent matter." Wu Fei didn't know what to say.
"Just say it directly." Qin Tian interrupted.
Seeing that Section Chief Gao did not refute, Wu Fei said, "Something strange happened in the black market."
"What's weird?"
Everyone's curiosity was aroused.
"There is a small vendor selling intelligence distributing flyers. The content of the flyers is as follows." Wu Fei handed over the flyer and placed it in front of Gao Bing.
Everyone leaned over to look.
There were only a bunch of numbers on the flyer.
"It's encrypted? Haha. Did you buy it?" Zheng Kui asked Wu Fei.
"No, he sent it directly." Wu Fei explained.
"Have you caught him? Have you interrogated him?" Zheng Kui asked again.
"I asked him, and he knew nothing about it. It's just that someone paid him to post this." Wu Fei said seriously.
Gao Bing picked it up and took a look.
"Strange things happen every year, but there are more of them this year. What does this mean?" Gao Bing was also confused.
"There are two possibilities. First, it's a prank, to confuse us and deliberately give us something to do. In fact, this ciphertext may be just random. Second, someone wants to pass on information, but failed to make contact, so they can only make contact in this way. In theory, only the contact person can decipher this ciphertext." Qin Tian analyzed.
"You are so smart." Gao Bing praised him and pushed the flyer to Qian Youcai, saying, "You in the Decoding Department should work overtime to decipher the content. If you dare to decipher it before the other party, the content will be useful. Others can also participate in the deciphering work. Whoever deciphers it before the people in the Decoding Department will get a prize."
"Chief Gao, what's the reward?" Yang Meili asked happily, "A commendation?"
"Boss Zhao sent us three motorcycles before, and I rewarded him with the priority right to use the motorcycles." Gao Bing said sincerely.
This reward is neither big nor small, but it is still quite attractive to the people below.
"Let me suggest first that a smart person like Deputy Director Qin should not participate in decryption and leave the opportunity to others. Besides, he has a car." Yang Meili said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
This made everyone laugh.
"I have been interrogating Chen Zhou recently. Chen Zhou confessed that he was in contact with his superior, the Lone Wolf. Chen Zhou was captured by us, and the Lone Wolf couldn't find anyone to contact, so he sent out this encrypted leaflet to complete the connection with Chen Zhou." Zhao Jun explained a possibility.
"This is a good guess." Gao Bing also agreed.
“If this is true, then deciphering this message becomes extremely important. We have a chance to catch the lone wolf.” Zheng Kui became excited again.
Zheng Kui hasn't personally captured a Communist or Kuomintang member for a long time. This is also his KPI, so he is naturally worried.
Everyone believed it, but Qin Tian didn't believe a word of it.
This Chen Zhou is very suspicious. He confessed the Lone Wolf so easily, but there is no substantial progress.
The lone wolf was shot during the assassination attempt on Doihara and should be hiding now.
How could you possibly get yourself into trouble by handing out these kinds of flyers?
Since it is not the KMT’s connection, could it be the Communist Party’s connection? ?
After get off work, Qin Tian carefully met with Lin Suya again.
In the basement.
Qin Tian handed a printed number to Lin Suya and asked, "Is he one of ours?"
"I just got the news too." Lin Suya also took out a piece of paper with the same number written on it.
"I haven't received any news from my superiors, and no one wants to contact me. It's definitely not our person." Lin Suya explained.
"Let's try to decipher it. If it's one of ours, we will definitely be able to decipher it. If it's not one of ours, we will definitely not be able to decipher it. There's no need to meddle in other people's business." Qin Tian explained.
"Yeah." Lin Suya nodded.
The two began to study the numbers together.
"This string of numbers is very similar to our style. The last four digits are the sign of Yan'an's secret report." Lin Suya felt that this matter was getting more and more weird: "It shouldn't be. I haven't received any news that anyone from Bingcheng is coming."
"Let's try it our way." Qin Tian said.
Qin Tian is not very familiar with the situation in Yan'an.
"The first four digits are the secret key of the codeword, which indicates which set of codewords to activate." Lin Suya thought about it, recalled several sets of codewords, and said, "The secret key of this codeword is wrong. It is expired. We have not used it for a long time."
"No need? That means the other party may not know our new secret key, and the probability of it being a trap is very high." Qin Tian also agreed with this statement.
But Lin Suya continued to decipher, pointing to the fifth digit and saying, "This is the code book corresponding to the codeword set. 5 should refer to "Three Heroes and Five Gallants". I will go find this book."
Lin Suya stood up and started searching in the library in the basement.
These books are basically samples of code books, it just depends on which one you use.
Soon, she found Shi Yukun's version of "Three Heroes and Five Gallants", and Lin Suya cracked it immediately. After cracking it, the general content is as follows:
On March 3th, at 25 o'clock in the evening, Baihu came alone to the abandoned backyard of Yangfushan Court in the western suburbs.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian and Lin Suya were both confused.
"What's going on?" Qin Tian was speechless. Why did he get called by name?
"Is this Gao Bing's trap? You must not go there." Lin Suya said worriedly.
"This person used the Communist Party's encryption method, which means he knows a lot about the Communist Party. He is either one of us or a spy," Qin Tian explained.
“Yes, but my superiors didn’t send me any message. We can rule out our own people, so the only thing left can be a trap, Gao Bing’s trap.” Lin Suya analyzed.
"Gao Bing set up such a complicated trap? Besides, Gao Bing wouldn't know these encryption methods." Qin Tian was a little suspicious.
"Have you forgotten Kunlun?" Lin Suya reminded.
This did make Qin Tian hesitate.
Could this text be a trap set by Gao Bing, Tokugao Kei, or even Doihara?
"It's really possible that Doihara set a trap for me before he left." Qin Tian felt that this possibility was the most likely.
The devil Doihara has been making moves all the time, and it is easy for people to believe in these moves.
Lin Suya and Qin Tian were silent again.
"Today is the 24th, which is tomorrow night." Qin Tian still hesitated.
"Well, tomorrow night, I'll send an informant to check out the area. If there's no problem, I'll go." Qin Tianxia made the decision.
"Are you crazy? This must be Gao Bing's trap." Lin Suya was worried: "This is too risky. Besides, the other party didn't say what they wanted from you."
"I will try to stay in the Secret Service Bureau for a while longer. If it is a trap set by Gao Bing, they will carry out the arrest. This requires the cooperation of the action team, so there will definitely be movement." Qin Tian analyzed.
As long as I don't go into the mansion and just walk around, they won't be able to catch me.
