Spy sea wind and thunder

It is no longer feasible to investigate using power consumption.

Moreover, this investigation failed to bring more clues to Song Shutang for judgment. It could only provide a preliminary general understanding.

Since we cannot give you an intuitive answer here regarding power consumption, we will have to discuss how to conduct subsequent investigations.

Song Shutang asked Mei Mu Zhizi: "Do you have any good ideas here? After all, after searching for the spy radio station in the mountain city, you can conduct door-to-door searches, but we obviously do not have this condition in the concession."

Mei Muzhizi said: "Since the radio station is locked in this street, the number of people is actually limited, and the houses are even more limited. People who live here for a long time can actually be excluded first."

Song Shutang understood what she meant.

First of all, the radio operator may not be from the concession originally.

But he stayed in the concession for work.

Even if you are from the concession, the location of the radio station may change from time to time, and the radio operator must follow the radio station.

Because the anti-Japanese organizations also know that the Japanese and puppets have radio detection vehicles, it is easy to be locked if you send reports in one place for a long time, so they need to be replaced in time.

Then you are definitely not a regular resident here.

Based on this clue, some people can be excluded, and then the remaining part can be considered as narrowing down the scope.

First narrow the scope to see how many households there are.

This will facilitate the subsequent development of a more detailed investigation plan.

If there are too many left, continue to think of ways to eliminate them.

If there are few left, you can actually observe them one by one.

There will be more changes.

Song Shutang thought for a while and said, "If I want to investigate whether they have lived here for a long time, I'm afraid I have to get help from the patrol room."

The living conditions of the people in the concession will definitely be registered in the patrol room.

So if Song Shutang and the others want to obtain it, they cannot avoid these.

Mei Muzhizi said: "This thing shouldn't be difficult to find out."

The patrols in the patrol house are actually part of their intelligence work. You definitely can't get around them in the concession. They have established relationships with many patrols in the secret service headquarters.

Partitioning is no exception.

It is not difficult to ask a patrol officer to pay money to inquire about the living conditions of people on a street. It is not a confidential matter.

Song Shutang said: "In that case, you are responsible for getting this information."

"it is good."

Now we are looking for a radio station. If possible, of course, let Meimu Zhizi be in charge.

This way everyone can feel more at ease.

After the discussion, the two of them took a rest.

Mei Muzhizi went to investigate the matter early the next morning. Song Shutang was still thinking about what the gendarmerie meant.

But the temptation is obvious.

Song Shutang also knew.

But the gendarmerie is just trying to stop you. If you are really an anti-Japanese element, they will tip you off even though they know it is a test.

why?
Song Shutang didn't quite understand.

It’s true that I am a lurker.

After learning the information, I want to report it to the organization to prevent the organization from being persecuted. This is my job responsibility.

But would I still do this when I knew you were trying to tempt me?
Undercover intelligence officers are very rational.

Know what to do when.

Not motivated.

Less impulsive.

Did the gendarmerie look down on Song Shutang, the latent agent?
Obviously not.

So you told me clearly that you were lurking, but you still tipped me off?

What do you rely on?
Song Shutang initially thought it might be the radio station and the operator, because these two are very important entities, and if they are discovered, the losses will be great.

But what Song Shutang feels strange now is that it is true that the losses are huge, but if I provide information, I will be exposed. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will also increase the losses.

In this case, will I still report the news?
Probably not.

This is the most basic quality of an intelligence officer.

But this is how the gendarmerie is testing things now. Song Shutang doesn't think this is the gendarmerie's mistake. There must be a problem inside.

It's just that Song Shutang doesn't know what the problem is yet.

This feeling of unknown is really terrible.

It made him feel like he had fallen into a bigger trap, but he didn't know when he would actually fall into it, or whether he was already in it but didn't know it.

He couldn't figure it out and no one would give him an answer.

Song Shutang could only remain calm.

The next day, Mei Mu Zhizi took back the investigated information and discussed it with Song Shutang.

Mei Muzhizi said: "Based on the registration information provided here in the patrol room, we can exclude more than half of them."

"How much is left?"

"Fifty households." Mei Mu said.

The concession is relatively prosperous, resulting in a very large population.

So there is only one street, but the area density is very high.

After excluding most of them, there are still so many places.

Not counting how many people are in the family, even if there are an average of two people in a family, there are more than 100 people.

It's definitely not possible to observe them one by one, so they need to continue to exclude.

Song Shutang said: "There are still too many people, so we need to find ways to eliminate them."

Mei Mu Zhizi had already thought about this issue on the way back. She said: "There is no basis for excluding us now, because the enemies may be from various identity industries, and a hasty exclusion will easily miss the enemies."

"But there are hundreds of people who want to investigate, but the district simply doesn't have the ability."

"When I excluded people, I considered living here for two years as a long-term residence. If we can shorten this time, we can continue to exclude people."

"Do you think the radio guy will live here for two years?"

"I don't think so. It's just that two years is safer. If it were shortened to one year, there would still be about [-] households."

"Half a year."

"In half a year, that's 24 households." Mei Muzhizi said immediately.

It seemed that she had sorted it out a long time ago and just chose a more conservative time, which obviously didn't work.

Half a year.

This time is quite limited.

If you keep shortening, there's a real chance of missing enemies.

The radio operators and radio stations will stay here for half a year. It would definitely not be possible if they were outside the concession, as it would be more dangerous.

Transferring once every three months is considered low frequency.

But this is within the concession.

It's relatively safe enough.

So there is nothing wrong with not being dedicated for half a year.

But there are still 24 households, and the rough calculation is that the bonus is 50 people. Even if all the manpower in the district is allocated, it will not be enough to track and monitor.

Not to mention that you still have to change shifts for tracking and monitoring.

So everyone is a drop in the bucket.Song Shutang continued: "Can it still be ruled out?"

"This time is already quite risky, and the time cannot be shortened any further."

"I'm not talking about time, what about other aspects?"

"In other aspects, there is currently no particularly good solution."

"Can those with children at home be excluded?" Song Shutang asked.

He needs to have an attitude of investigation, and an attitude that really wants to find the radio station. After all, you can't be careless in front of Mei Mu Zhizi.

Mei Muzhizi understood what Song Shutang meant as soon as she heard it. She said: "You mean that children are unstable factors and are more difficult to control, especially younger children. If there is a radio station at home, you can even send a report at home. , even if it is very late and the child has gone to bed, there is still a risk of being seen by the child who wakes up suddenly."

"Yes, even if they are not in the same room, it is still possible for the child to find it when he wakes up and looks for his parents. Moreover, the child does not know what this thing is at all, but he will find it relatively novel, and he may find it outside the door the next day. People talking about this matter is a fatal mistake for the covert work."

"So not taking the children with you can be considered as eliminating some factors that are less controllable."

"Yes."

“If we exclude families with younger children, there are still [-] households left.”

“The kids obviously didn’t eliminate a few households, but it’s better than nothing.”

"It's still a lot." Song Shutang frowned.

It was difficult to narrow the scope down enough for them to investigate.

With four or five households, it feels like manpower is already quite tight.

Keeping in mind that the two of them had no new countermeasures at night, Song Shutang said, "It's too late. Let's take a rest and talk about it tomorrow."

"Row."

At the same time, in the military police team, Kentaro Ogishi asked his military police: "How is the investigation of the Special Agent Headquarters Division in the concession?"

The military police replied: "It's still under investigation, but according to our understanding, they don't have a good investigation idea yet. The first step is to look at the electricity consumption problem, but they haven't found any."

Kentaro Ogishi can only say that Song Shutang's current investigation methods are quite satisfactory. After all, using power consumption to investigate radio stations is not a new method.

Basically everyone knows it.

Then the anti-Japanese elements will definitely know.

So if you deal with it in advance, it is really difficult for you to find out about it.

But obviously Kentaro Ogishi doesn't believe that this is Song Shutang's full level. His arrangement is indeed difficult, but he also wants to test Song Shutang's ability.

Kentaro Ogishi said: "Pay more attention to the situation in the zoning and report any latest developments to me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Kentaro Ogishi had just finished arranging the work progress here, and Wan Liang had already appeared in Li Qun's office at the special agent headquarters. The two of them were also talking about investigating the electric adjustment in the concession.

Wan Liang frowned and said, "It seems that the military police's suspicion of Song Shutang and others has not been eliminated at all."

"That's a normal reaction for them."

"Is it just that you want Song Shutang to investigate the radio station so that you can find out?"

"You want to say that even if Song Shutang really has a problem, he will not fall into the trap?"

"He stayed at the Military Command Headquarters for a period of time. What are the essentials of lurking? He probably got a lot of learning opportunities from Japanese spies. It is completely impossible to expect such a simple test to annoy him." Wan Liang had the same idea as Song Shutang.

I feel like this temptation is so clear.

Why should I let you find out the clues?
It is impossible to take any action, only silence.

No matter what happens, treat it as if you didn't see it and just do what you should do in your capacity.

Isn't this a joke, the Gendarmerie?
But Wan Liang also feels that the gendarmerie doesn't have time to play around with you.

So there might be something he didn't know, so he came to ask Li Qun.

As for what you said, does Li Qun know the secret behind it?

Wan Liang didn't get an answer.

Because Li Qun said not to discuss the military police affairs, the two had no way to continue.

Therefore, Wan Liang has no way of finding out whether Li Qun knew the inside story in advance.

But according to Wan Liang's understanding of the gendarmerie, there must be something wrong with it, otherwise it couldn't be such a test.

You said you have skills.

It is indeed designed that there is no way back.

You said there was no skill in the design.

Then you really don’t treat Song Shutang as a human being at all. I tell you directly and clearly that I am testing you.

There is a pit here, do you want to jump or not?

Wan Liang wanted to call Song Shutang and tell him to investigate honestly.

It's not that Wan Liang suspected Song Shutang, but that everyone didn't know what the gendarmerie's conspiracy was now.

You will worry.

But Wan Liang didn't call, because he knew that if his phone number went to the subdivision, it might belong to the military police girl.

Moreover, he felt that Song Shutang did not need this kind of reminder. After all, Song Shutang was also a professional intelligence worker.

People outside the concession have their own ideas, and Song Shutang has no way of paying attention to them now.

He stood with Mei Mu Zhizi again this morning to discuss the follow-up investigation plan.

After thinking about it all night, Mei Muzhizi now said: "Those who are not at home that day can be excluded."

"But you don't know whether I was at home that day."

Although Song Shutang has arranged for people from different areas to go door-to-door to sell, but no one pays attention to you when you knock on the door. It may not necessarily mean that there is no one at home, but that they are resting and are too lazy to pay attention to you.

The same goes for the person who may have sent the report.

Hearing the knock on the door, he did not open the door. He first stopped sending the message and hid the radio, and then started to watch.

Seeing that the person who knocked on the door did not continue, there was no indication that anyone was at home.

So it's hard to judge.

However, Mei Muzhizi said: "Only one household can be excluded because he attended a party that night and slept at a friend's house, so he was not at home."

One household?
Talk is better than nothing.

However, Song Shutang still asked very politely: "How did you know that they all went to the party?"

"I heard about it when I was looking for the police officer to investigate the news, because friends from the police officer also attended the party."

Patrol?

Song Shutang said: "We might as well let the patrol officer take us to these homes to observe them as the patrol room."

With so many households, it is difficult for you to investigate the people inside.

And it’s not easy for you to enter the other person’s home.

If you go to each house one by one to confirm that no one is in the house, then sneak in and conduct an investigation, this will take a lot of time.

But if the patrol takes you, then you can go in openly.

Although they can't rummage through boxes and cabinets, they can still rely on their eyesight to see what's going on inside the house and what their status will be like when police officers enter the house.

There may be slight differences.

Upon hearing this, Mei Muzhizi said: "This method is indeed faster. If a patrol takes us, we can visit these dozen households in one day. We can even exclude an unknown number of people based on some situations we have seen. It will shrink further.”

"Can you contact the patrolman and ask if this is okay?"

"This should be a little more difficult, and it might cost some money."

"Let's use the funds related to the military police mission directly, and let the headquarters reimburse us in the future." Song Shutang said.

After all, this matter also involves the innocence of the two of them, so they can't help but ignore it.
