1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1062
Gao Qiaonan's field of expertise is on the battlefield. Whether it is reconnaissance or combat, his methods are quite different from the requirements of the Ministry of Security's secret operations.However, Gong Shiqi led the field team to perform missions all year round, mostly in populated areas such as towns, and his observation and utilization of the environment was much more flexible than that of the military. In the current situation, his experience is even more evident. advantage.

As Gong Shiqi said, as long as he finds a merchant who provides rice, grain, meat and vegetables to Liao's house, the rest will be easy.And this obviously did not bother Gong Shiqi's subordinates. At noon that day, relevant information was fed back to Gong Shiqi from different investigation teams one after another.

According to the situation described by the rice merchant and vegetable vendor, there are not many people living in Liao's house, because they deliver the goods directly to the kitchen of the house. You can get an idea of ​​how many people eat in this house by looking at the condition of the kitchen.According to their speculation, the resident population of the entire Liao residence should be around ten people.But what is strange is that the amount of food that Liao Zhai bought each time was at least several times that, which far exceeded their estimates.

"According to the person concerned, the people in Liao's house are either big eaters, or they are feeding the food to pigs, because according to the appetite of normal people, they can't consume so much food at all." Gong Shiqi asked Gao Qiaonan relayed the content of his subordinate's report.

Gao Qiaonan said: "Presumably Brother Gong's subordinates also asked about the situation of the house in the north?"

Gong Shiqi said with a smile: "Brother Qiao is really a prophet, that's right, after they asked, they found that the adjacent house to the north had never purchased ingredients from the surrounding rice and grain merchants, and it seemed that no one came in or out during the day, and even I don’t know if anyone lives in that house.”

Gao Qiaonan said: "It is more reasonable to speculate that Liao Xun hid some people in the north house, and these people's food and clothing were sent in through Liao's house. For some reason , Liao Xun did not want these people to be exposed, so he minimized the opportunities for contact with the outside world."

"If we speculate based on what we know, Liao Xun has hidden dozens of people in the house. I don't think Jinwu Zangjiao should have such a hiding method. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this group of people." Gong Shiqi said slowly Slowly put away the smile on his face: "Fortunately, we didn't attack Liao Xun rashly, otherwise we might be ambushed by him instead!"

Although it is still unclear who Liao Xun is hiding in the mansion, such a sneaky approach is obviously not a serious one.Gong Shiqi wondered if Liao Xun, who was a Jinyiwei, had smelled something from the information he had recently obtained, so he moved to the north of the city, bought two adjacent houses, and waited for someone to come to him.But there was no basis for this suspicion, so although Gong Shiqi had doubts in his heart, he still didn't tell Takahashi Nanming.

Gao Qiaonan said: "Since we have to try to lure Liao Xun out of Hangzhou City before we start, it is useless even if there are heavenly soldiers and generals hiding in his house. In my opinion, continuing to monitor is enough for now, and there is no need to take the risk of investigating for now. What's going on inside."

Gong Shiqi disagreed with Gao Qiaonan's opinion: "Even if we don't care about the mansion in the north, we still need to find out the situation of Liao's mansion. If we want Liao Xun to surrender, it will most likely fall on his family."

When Gao Qiaonan heard Gong Shiqi's tone, he naturally knew that he was not joking when he said this.Professionals like Liao Xun, who are engaged in security and intelligence work, will not succumb to force as easily as ordinary people, and he himself has a great conflict of interest with Hai Han. Even if he can be captured alive, it is estimated that it will be difficult to force him to submit.And Gong Shiqi obviously didn't want to waste time trying to persuade him to surrender through ordinary coercion and inducement, but wanted to grasp his weakness that was hard to resist, and strive to hit him with one blow.

According to the Ministry of Security's investigation, Liao Xun's family has a wife and a concubine, and one child each. Both children are only five or six years old. Recently, Liao Xun moved to the north of the city, and his family also moved here.A vendor who delivered rice grains had seen the two children in Liao's house, which can basically be confirmed.Although Gao Qiaonan didn't like this method that was not upright, he also knew that the task was the most important thing. Gong Shiqi made such a decision not out of selfishness, so he would not speak out against this arrangement.

"Then when do you plan to do it?" Gao Qiaonan asked.

"In the past few days, let's find out the situation of the house first." Gong Shiqi replied, "I plan to capture Liao Xun alive first, and then try to take his family members down. Let them meet at that time, and then try again." Liao Xun should get twice the result with half the effort."

Gao Qiaonan asked: "To capture Liao Xun alive, where is the most convenient place to do it, do you have any arrangements?"

"Chengfengxing." Gong Shiqi already had plans for this: "He had revealed his identity when he went to Chengfenghang last time, which at least shows two things. , it can be seen from this that the importance attached to this matter is extraordinary; second, he only brought a few subordinates with him last time and revealed his identity, which shows that he thinks that the vicinity of Hangzhou City is a safe area for him, and it is a safe area for Chengfeng. There is not much vigilance in this environment.”

"But most of the people in the operation team have been withdrawn from Chengfeng Bank. Now Jinyiwei has eyeliner near Chengfeng Bank. It is a bit difficult to set up an ambush again? Besides, some of the guys in Chengfeng Bank are not ours. People, if we want to deploy and set up a bureau in the store, there will be a danger of leaking information." Gao Qiaonan was a little worried about Gong Shiqi's arrangement.

"Those guys, try to gradually replace them in the past two days." Gong Shiqi was not worried about this: "There is a corresponding plan for this situation, and Wanfa knows what to do. As for how Sending people into Chengfenghang... Hehe, brother Qiao, have you forgotten how we gathered our people in the city?"

Gao Qiaonan couldn't help laughing when he thought about it. Even if Jin Yiwei deployed manpower to monitor Cheng Fengxing, the main target of monitoring was Wan Fa. As for his staff and people who entered and left the store, If Jin Yiwei wanted to monitor them all, the situation to be manipulated would be too great.Judging from Jin Yiwei's attitude in handling this matter, they didn't want to make too much publicity. This should also be to avoid the plan of mixing sand with immigrants from attracting the attention of Haihan people.

Chengfenghang was originally a place where people come and go. After Gong Shiqi and his party quietly moved out, Chengfenghang has resumed normal business and began to accept merchants.If the action team pretends to be a caravan and disperses to move in again, there will be no loopholes. Instead, they can use this to pretend that Chengfengxing is operating normally, and further reduce the vigilance of Jinyiwei.During this period, the person who most needs to test his acting skills and character is not the members of the action team, but Wanfa, the shopkeeper of Chengfenghang, who is currently under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.

Thinking of this episode, Gao Qiaonan took the initiative to ask, "Wan Fa...isn't there any problem?"

Gong Shiqidao: "It's also the first time for me to cooperate with him. Although this person is a bit overjoyed, he can still distinguish the seriousness of the matter. There was no sign of disloyalty to Haihan before. Another point, although he did not He has a family, but his parents live in Sanya, which can guarantee his loyalty to a certain extent.”

This last piece of evidence is obviously more convincing than the previous points. Gao Qiaonan was relieved when he heard that Wanfa had family members living in Sanya.He was mainly worried that merchants like Wanfa would not be able to withstand the pressure exerted by Jinyiwei. If there were omissions or even defections, the risk to the action team would be unavoidable.Of course, at least so far, Wanfa's performance is basically impeccable. In the first round of confrontation with Jin Yiwei, he also confuses his opponent very well. It can be said that there is no way to ask him to do better.

At this time, Wan Fa was not as relaxed as his colleagues. After the excitement of successfully deceiving Jin Yiwei passed, Wan Fa inevitably fell into a nervous mood.In his past life, this is the first time he has dealt with Jinyiwei, a secret service agency. Although he has received a lot of targeted training in Haihan before this, when he really faces Jinyiwei, it is still inevitable. felt great mental pressure.

After Wanfa joined the small society of Haihan, he realized that the rising space of this emerging force was much greater than that of Ming Dynasty. With his ingenuity, he should be able to make some names in this system, not to mention glorifying his ancestors. But at least you won't be struggling at the bottom of society all the time.He took all his family members to Sanya to settle down, also out of confidence in his career prospects.

He was sent to Zhejiang as an undercover job mainly because Wanfa was born near Hangzhou, and the Haihan Security Department gave him a nearly perfect identity, but before Gong Shiqi came to Chengfenghang, he They always thought that it was their main task to keep Chengfenghang running well, but they never thought that one day they would really participate in the secret operations against Daming as a part-time employee of the security department.

Although according to Gong Shiqi's command and the training he had received before, he almost perfectly withstood Jin Yiwei's interrogation, but in the next five days he had to recruit a group of immigrants to meet Jin Yiwei's requirements, and at this juncture, Gong Shi Qi and his men quietly left Chengfeng and marched towards Hangzhou City. Now there is no one around him he can trust. Having to make so many important decisions independently can feel a little overwhelming.

It wasn't too difficult to recruit a group of immigrants. Since Gong Shiqi had said that no matter the price, all he had to do was spend money. He could always get enough people by finding connections and finding a way.It's just that after the immigrants have collected enough, what if Liao threatens him to do other things?It is said that Jin Yiwei has already monitored Cheng Fengxing, so how do I get in touch with Gong Shiqi and others in the next few days?In case Gong Shiqi and others failed in their actions in the city, should he report to the intelligence ship on the Qiantang River?Will doing so expose myself and the personnel on the intelligence ship to Jin Yiwei's sight?

For Wanfa, there are a lot of problems that are difficult to solve at the moment, and he does not dare to make a decision rashly, because any decision may involve his own wealth and life, as well as his colleagues currently lurking in Hangzhou.He wasn't even sure if he would be able to keep his secret if Jin Yiwei found out about him, and if he was tortured by him, would he betray Gong Shiqi and others who were currently in Hangzhou.On the other hand, if Gong Shiqi and others were arrested in the city, would they also drag him who had not been fully exposed?

Wan Fa was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious. He didn't even know whether Gong Shiqiu, besides Jin Yiwei, had left people around Chengfenghang to watch him, or he simply abandoned him. The pawns that were about to be exposed immediately canceled the action and evacuated Hangzhou.

Wan Fa really wanted to go into the city to go to the house that Gong Shiqi bought to see if his colleagues were still in the city, so that at least he could feel at ease, but he also knew that he was under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei. It is very likely that he will betray his colleagues, and he can only bear this idea forcibly.Even though it was only one day since Gong Shiqi left Chengfengxing, Wan Fa already felt that he had lost his backbone and didn't know what to do.

That night when Wan Fa was sighing and pacing back and forth in the room, someone knocked lightly on the door from outside. He looked at himself outside the door.Wan Fa was surprised and delighted, he let him into the room quickly, looked left and right to see that there was no one in the courtyard, and then quickly closed the door again.

"Boss, when you came in, no one noticed you, right? There are Jin Yiwei people watching outside the store!" Wan Fa asked worriedly.

Gong Shiqi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jin Yiwei has arranged two groups of people to watch outside, watching the front and back doors respectively. They probably wouldn't expect that someone would climb over the wall and enter the store in the middle of the night."

Wan Fa breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good... Boss, you came back suddenly in the middle of the night, but what happened?"

"Nothing has changed, it's just that we have made some adjustments to our plan, and the focus of our operations in the next few days may return to Chengfenghang." Gong Shiqi also did not explain to Wanfa in detail what he had done to Liao's house during the time in the city. As a result of the investigation, a new order was issued to him directly: "Starting early tomorrow morning, you send a few guys home as soon as possible without any trace, and arrange for our people to take over. In addition, people from the action team will pretend to be caravans to re-enter , don't be surprised."

"Re-staying? Why?" Wan Fa didn't understand the significance of his boss's move. After all, he had only been evacuated from here not long ago, so why did he want to come back again.

Gong Shiqi said with a smile, "Didn't Jinyiwei want to use Chengfengxing's channel to catch up with Shanghai Han? Then let's push the boat along and help them out."
