No trace of espionage

Chapter 113 Catching Birds with a Net ([-])

The main means of transportation from Shanghai to Nanjing is the train.There are three trains arriving in Nanjing every day, one is from Shanghai to Peiping, one is from Tianjin, and the other is an express train between Shanghai and Nanjing.

The first two trains are passing cars, and the last one is direct trains, and the end point is Nanjing.

Nanjing has two stations, one is Xiaguan Station and the other is Pukou Station. Generally speaking, passengers coming from the south will get off at Xiaguan, while those coming from the north will get off at Pukou.

In order to capture the turtledove, Wen Xuesong took great pains and made very careful arrangements.

First of all, Xiaguan Station was strictly sealed off, and all passengers who got off the train were strictly checked, focusing on young and middle-aged male passengers.According to the principle of "rather killing a thousand by mistake than letting one go", all young and strong men who travel alone, no matter who they are, will be temporarily detained until their identities are confirmed.Otherwise, we can only release him after the China-Mimi negotiations are over.

At the same time, Zhao Zihuan, the director of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, was called to send personnel to board the three trains to secretly check for suspicious persons.

Secondly, the police were called to set up checkpoints at all intersections and wharves entering and leaving Nanjing, and people were also arranged in hotels and inns. The focus of inspections was also young and strong men traveling alone.

Such an arrangement can be said to be very meticulous. As long as the turtledove comes to Nanjing, it will definitely be targeted.

It can be said that the net has been laid out, just waiting for the turtledove to come.

……

Ikaruga's real name is Koji Baba, he is the deputy chief of the special high-tech department of the shadow agency, and his military rank is Major.

At [-]:[-] a.m. on the eighth day of the eighth day, Koji Baba and two of his men boarded the express train from Shanghai to Nanjing. If there is no accident, the train will arrive at Xiaguan Station in Nanjing at around [-]:[-] p.m.

His trip has two purposes: one is to preside over the plan to assassinate Polot and destroy the cooperative relationship between China and Mimi; the other is to investigate the reasons for the annihilation of the "Skylark Group".

Yesterday was the regular contact time with the "Skylark Group". The Shanghai radio station has never contacted Minya Yamaguchi, and Hitoo Kagesa knew something was wrong.

Hitoo Kagesa was very annoyed by the incidents of two teams in succession, and ordered him to find out the cause of the accidents of the two teams and take revenge when Koji Baba personally presided over the assassination of Polot.

He brought two subordinates, one named Oo Yashi, whose pseudonym was Shi Zhi, and the other named Kishida Daisuke, whose pseudonym was Tao Hu.

Tao Hu was in charge of protecting the personal safety of Koji Baba, and Shi Zhi was an excellent sniper. He carried a long wooden box with him, hiding a disassembled sniper rifle.

……

Koji Maba, whose alias is Ma Hao, is the manager of Shanghai Hengtong Trading Company, and Shi Shi Oo and Daisuke Kishida act as his followers.

The three of them bought second-class tickets. Although the fares were a bit more expensive, they were in line with Koji Baba's status as a manager, and there were few people in the car, so it was very quiet.

Koji Baba and Daisuke Kishida sat opposite each other, and Shiba Oo was seated in the row behind them.

After boarding the car, Daisuke Kishida put the luggage on the upper shelf, Shishi Oo put the wooden box under the seat of the car, and Koji Baba, who was in a suit and leather shoes, took off his top hat, held it in his hand, and looked around.

The seat next to them on the right is a young woman dressed in plain but elegant clothes. The young woman is also accompanied by a little girl about four or five years old. The little girl jumps up and down as soon as she gets in the car and runs around. The young woman has been following her to take care of her.

Opposite the young woman sat a middle-aged man in a long robe and glasses, holding a copy of the "Declaration" and reading it.

The guests before and after were also bringing their families with them, with a lot of luggage, and there was nothing unusual.

Koji Baba relaxed his mind, put his top hat on his face, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

The train started, and the speed gradually increased. The little girl saw the scene outside the window receding, and shouted excitedly: "Mom, mom, look, the tree is down, the tree is down!"

"Hahaha..." Hearing the child say this, the car was filled with good-natured laughter.

Koji Baba put down his top hat, looked at the little girl, and was also amused by the child's innocence and imagination.

Only the one opposite the young woman frowned slightly, seeming very impatient.

At this moment, Koji Baba found two strange men coming into the carriage. The two men walked through the aisle empty-handed while scanning left and right. When they saw Koji Baba and the three of them, they seemed to stop for a moment , and then walked forward.

Koji Baba was very keen to capture that momentary pause. He was startled and said to himself: "These two people have no luggage in their hands, and they seem to be looking for someone. Why did they pause with the three of us? What caused them?" attention? Have we exposed our identity?"

Thinking of this, Baba Koji pouted at the back of the two, and whispered to Daisuke Kishida: "Go and see where it came from?"

Daisuke Kishida nodded, got up and followed.

After a while, Daisuke Kishida came back and said in a low voice, "It's not right. Those two people walked in all the cars, and then there were people staring at the doors of all the cars to see where they were pointing, basically A young man, and just now I saw someone pointing in our direction."

"Ah?! So, the Chinese already know us?" Hiroji Baba was startled.

He didn't believe in coincidences. He believed that the three of them must have been targeted by someone, and the news that he was going to Nanjing must have leaked out.

However, it seems that the Chinese are not sure that the three of them are the targets they are looking for, they are just casting their nets everywhere.

"How many are they?" Koji Baba asked.

"Thirteen." Daisuke Kishida said.

"Oh." Hearing this, Koji Baba began to think: "I'm [-]% sure, the whereabouts of the three of us have been exposed. Where is the trouble? Is it Shanghai or Nanjing? No one in Shanghai knows except the head of the agency. Our whereabouts, then, there must be something wrong with Nanjing.”

"If it's Nanjing, is it the 'Skylark Group' or the 'Crane Group' who leaked it? This matter must be clarified. If the 'Crane Group' has been exposed, then quickly find a way to get out, and there is no point in going to Nanjing. Yes. If it is the problem of the 'Skylark Group', that would be better. After all, the 'Skylark Group' has very little information about the assassination operation. Even if the Chinese agents know about this operation, it will not affect the safety of the 'Crane Group'. Then I will go to Nanjing It still makes sense."

Thinking of this, Koji Baba said to Daisuke Kishida: "Depending on the situation, we are still safe for the time being. Don't sit here, we will be in Suzhou soon, go and see if the person they are staring at has gotten off in Suzhou A car? If there is, see if anyone follows?"

"Yes." Daisuke Kishida agreed in a low voice, stood up, and walked slowly to the back compartment.
