My girlfriend is from 1949
Chapter 403 Even Spies Have Changed Careers
The person pushing the cart was wearing a straw hat.
He lowered his head, obscuring half of his face.
Although it was night and dark, I was standing right under the lamplight.
Even in the dim light, you can still make out the mouth.
The person pushing the cart took a broom and started sweeping the street outside.
He seemed very focused when sweeping, but there was nothing particularly special about it.
But occasionally he would turn his head to observe the situation at the villa gate.
Although the movement is very small, it is almost impossible to detect.
Moreover, from the outside, the villa's gate was tightly closed, and there was almost no one around.
Only occasionally do people going to and from night shifts pass by.
So nobody would even notice if a sanitation worker had a problem.
Moreover, for sanitation workers, there is sunshine during the day.
Sweep the floor when there are fewer people at night, and it will be easier in the morning.
After all, although there is no curfew now, there is not much nightlife in this era.
Before liberation, when the four major nightclubs, such as Paramount, Cinque Terre, Metropolitan, and New Cinque Terre, were open, they were bustling with neon lights every night.
The wealthy drive to these places of extravagance to indulge in pleasure.
Besides these four famous nightclubs, countless small dance halls controlled by gangsters have also sprung up throughout H City.
Not only do they dance with you, but for a little money, you can also get your hands on them.
It is very similar to the salsa dance of today.
During the period of Kuomintang reactionary rule, there were more than 2 registered dancers in Shanghai.
These are just the registered ones; there are many more dancers in those small street dance halls who are not registered.
After all, Shanghai is only so big, and there are limited job opportunities.
Over the years, millions of refugees have fled to Shanghai to escape the war.
So many people need to eat, so they must have jobs.
But even if she wanted to work as a female worker in a yarn factory and earn a monthly wage of 9 yuan.
:
However, when it comes to payday, they are still exploited and deducted from their salaries for various reasons, yet countless people still scramble to do it.
Unfortunately, there are only so many job openings, and many more people can't find work, so they have no choice but to become dancers.
Before liberation, there was a ban on dancers because there were too many of them.
As a result, tens of thousands of dancers protested and took to the streets in a march.
And that was it; the singing and dancing continued as usual.
Those small dance halls were all shut down after the liberation.
As for the four major nightclubs, they have long since disappeared.
For example, the Paramount Ballroom, which had been famous for decades, was forcibly requisitioned by the Kuomintang reactionaries and converted into a military fortress.
During the liberation of Shanghai, there were even skirmishes inside!
The fighting was exceptionally fierce!
Therefore, there are no nightclubs or brothels in Shanghai nowadays.
All the dancers and prostitutes were centrally managed and taught a skill.
They earned their living with their own hands and became the working people of the new China.
So now, the nights are very quiet because there are no entertainment activities.
The lack of people on the streets made it more difficult for the spies to operate at night.
After all, there are a large number of soldiers patrolling the streets, and they will investigate any suspicious persons they encounter.
It effectively curbed various acts of sabotage.
Although Shanghai has been liberated for half a year now, we still dare not slacken our efforts.
Many spies are lurking in the shadows.
Some spies weren't even discovered until the 90s!
Therefore, counter-espionage remains a long and arduous task.
Because there are few people on the street, each person who appears is more likely to attract attention.
The sanitation workers focused intently on sweeping the floor, occasionally shifting their angle to observe the surroundings.
It seems that no one knows he is observing the villa.
Little did they know, a hidden camera was concealed inside the sculpture on the wall.
:
They were facing him directly, transmitting every move back to the security room.
Moreover, it wasn't just one camera; several cameras in different locations were all pointed at him.
Every movement was clearly visible from different angles.
Even drones have been launched for reconnaissance.
Just as he moved under the streetlight, he looked up.
Click!
Inside the guard room, the female soldier skillfully took a picture of the soldier's face looking up at the perfect moment.
After operating it for a period of time, I am now quite proficient in using this monitoring equipment.
After taking the photo, I immediately printed it out using the color printer next to me.
Wang Hai took the photos and then picked up a folder from the side and opened it.

There were several photos inside, and we immediately started comparing them.
After a moment, he said seriously, "It's the same person!"
Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, the vegetable vendor, the porter, the sanitation worker—they were all in disguise. The scars on their lips are all in the same spot!"
After exchanging opinions, the two confirmed that it was the same person.
Chen Huai'an picked up the photo and compared it with the photos in the folder.
To be fair, Wang Hai is quite meticulous in his work.
The first photo is of him disguised as a vegetable vendor.
In the photo, Aunt Zhang has prepared a lot of dishes and is having the vendor weigh them.
His attention was drawn to the camera, and he didn't even notice that someone was taking pictures of him with a miniature camera not far away.
The other photos are close-ups of the upper body captured by a high-definition camera.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that each photo features a different outfit, yet they all share a common characteristic.
That's the upper right corner of my lip; there's a scar there.
Although it's been a few years, the skin color still looks the same.
But if you look closely, you'll find that the area is concave.
:
The presence of scars in the same location is enough to prove that it is the same person.
Moreover, he deliberately disguised himself, loitering around the villa and intentionally approaching Aunt Zhang to extract information, clearly indicating that he had other motives.
Chen Huai'an frowned and asked, "Has the enemy found out about our situation?"
This was a subconscious guess; otherwise, why would a spy be loitering around the area?
Moreover, asking Aunt Zhang for information clearly indicates that they have their eyes on this place.
Wang Hai shook his head and said, "He probably doesn't know."
He then turned his head and explained in a low voice.
"After the liberation of Shanghai, we carried out several major operations."
It was a powerful deterrent to those spies.
After further psychological tactics, many spies surrendered themselves.
Of course, there are also some die-hards among them.
Although they dare not cause damage in important places as they did before.
But it is hidden deeper and harder to be discovered.
These spies hid in the shadows, secretly gathering intelligence.
A while ago, we also seized a radio!
However, some spies no longer had any intention of being loyal to the Kuomintang.
But they were unwilling to turn themselves in; they just wanted to get a sum of money and escape.
In the past week alone, there have been two cases of wealthy businessmen being kidnapped.
The police investigation revealed that our situation is the same as what we are currently facing.
Although they didn't know whether anyone was spying on them from their doorstep.
However, when the family cook went out to buy groceries, she was also tricked into revealing information by the vendors.
According to the cook's recollection, the vendor was very concerned about their family's situation.
They even asked how much vegetables and rice they usually buy.
Clearly, they wanted to find out how many people were in the family and how many bodyguards they had by observing their diet.
Moreover, these people are very accurate in their attacks, and they have definitely received professional training.
:
After comparison, we determined that they were the same group of people.
They're probably a group of spies trying to raise money to run away!
Wang Hai presented several previous cases for comparison.
In terms of methods, they are indeed the same.
Moreover, the villa is usually just for living, and there is nothing special about it from the outside.
It was publicly claimed to be the residence of a very wealthy businessman, which perfectly fits the description.
Therefore, in theory, it is impossible to expose the fact that the time travel was involved.
Moreover, their methods of posing as vegetable vendors to extract information from the cooks were the same.
It's pretty much confirmed that they're after the money.
Chen Huai'an nodded slightly, not at all surprised.
A couple of days ago, I happened to watch a movie about catching spies when I had nothing to do.
One of the agents was assigned a mission and then went into hiding.
It was only because he was neighbors with the police station chief that he was constantly being watched and was unable to cause any damage.
In order to protect themselves, they even found a reason to hand over the radio station.
As time went by, the spies gradually lost the desire to cause further sabotage and only wanted to live peacefully as citizens.
It wasn't until decades later that he voluntarily turned himself in.
His superior escaped during the manhunt and went to Hong Kong Island to become a station chief.
He used his power to become a major businessman in Hong Kong.
Later, when relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait eased, he returned under the guise of a wealthy businessman.
Moreover, after the two met, they even advised their subordinate to forget the past and forget that he was a spy.
Although they were just two spies, their psychology changed over several decades.
But it also represents the thoughts that all those lurking spies had.
Who would willingly give up their life if they could live a carefree life?
If the reactionary soldiers had held firm to their beliefs, they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat and seen uprisings erupt everywhere.
Therefore, after analysis, it was determined that this lurking spy team was not there to gather intelligence.
:
It's purely for the money!
Wang Hai shook his head: "After receiving the ransom, they released the person."
He then complained with frustration, "It's a pity the family didn't report the extortion call to the police, otherwise they would have been caught long ago!"
That statement is indeed true.
In the past, it was very difficult to rescue people who had been kidnapped, and it was even more difficult to catch the kidnappers and collect the ransom.
Because the place where the ransom is kept must have been carefully chosen to facilitate hiding and escape.
Some people even demanded to be taken on a train and then thrown off somewhere.
Therefore, it is indeed very difficult to catch someone.
But now with drones, let alone kidnappers carrying money on the ground.
Even if you're carrying money and flying through the sky, you still can't escape it.
Tracking down to their hideout is a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, the family members were afraid to report it to the police, thus missing the opportunity to make the arrest.
Even if you report it to the police in time, the person will have already fled.
"They didn't kill the hostage; they're certainly meticulous in their actions."
Chen Huai'an rubbed his fingers against his chin, a look of great interest on his face.
I never imagined that one day I would be kidnapped as a rich man.
I feel quite proud!
At least it proves that I'm very successful, right?
In the past, when living in a rented room in an old neighborhood, the three thousand yuan hidden behind the TV was all one's possessions.
Even if you were to hire thugs to kidnap someone, they wouldn't be able to recoup their costs!
