No trace of espionage

Chapter 75
"Report to Team Leader Lin, we found this in the garbage pond near Hou's house."

Soon after dark, Shao Jijun hurried back to report.

In his hand, he was carrying a basically intact Chinese medicine bag, not the dregs of the medicine.And the latest mention should be what Hou Ming just threw away.

"What?" Lin Chuang was stunned when he saw this situation.

This shows that, first, it is false that Hou Ming is sick;

Second, "Huichuntang" did not have a medicine kit to deliver the message at all.

In other words, when Hou Ming went to "Rejuvenation Hall", he was not going to connect with the upline at all.

"Well, what's going on here?" Tian Biyu looked at Lin Chuang, feeling a little weird.

"Yeah, what's going on? Hou Ming went to the 'Rejuvenation Hall' just to get three sets of traditional Chinese medicine and then throw them away? What's his plan?" Lin Chuang murmured.

"Leader Lin, is it possible that we suspected that the 'Rejuvenation Hall' was wrong? Or, did our actions against him alert him?" Shao Jijun asked.

"It's unlikely to be alert. If it really startled him, he wouldn't just throw away the medicine, not to mention how much he had thrown away before." Tian Biyu analyzed.

"No, there must be something wrong with the 'Huichuntang'!" Lin Chuang thought for a moment, and then firmly replied: "Originally, our investigation of all suspicious persons who have contact with Hou Ming can only be regarded as a comprehensive net. Ming's strange behavior of taking and throwing medicine further shows that there is something wrong with Huichun Hall. Then, our next step is to focus on catching fish."

"But Liu Piyin and Wang Hengde don't seem to be suspicious?" Zhu Xiaoguang said.

"Yes, I was in the Huichun Hall this afternoon, and I didn't find any suspicious communication between Hou Ming and them. This doesn't explain anything. Maybe they canceled the connection because of the presence of a stranger like me. Perhaps, Hou Ming went to Huichuntang just to go to Huichuntang." Lin Chuang said.

"What do you mean? What do you mean going to Huichuntang in order to go to Huichuntang?" Tian Biyu was confused.

"What I mean is that it is possible that Hou Ming's going to Huichuntang was just a cover-up. On the way from Huichuntang to Xiabai Branch, he had already received some kind of information." Lin Chuang further explained.

"Leader Lin, this possibility is unlikely. We followed him all the way there, and we didn't see him park, let alone go to other places." Shao Jijun said.

"You don't have to get out of the car. He may be able to get some information at a glance. For example, in Yuan Zuocai's case, the signal for him to communicate with his superior line was to draw a cross on the wall at the entrance of the alley. His superior line only had to walk through the alleyway." You can see it." Lin Chuang said.

"Yes, that makes sense. Team Leader Lin, let's follow the route that Hou Ming walked to both sides of the street to see if there are any crosses or other special marks?" Zhu Xiaoguang said.

Tian Biyu and Shao Jijun also nodded, expressing their understanding of Lin Chuang's thoughts.

"No, that method is too stupid. Maybe it's not on the street, maybe it's in Huichuntang. The range is too big to be sure. Let's assume that Hou Ming has seen some kind of information, that is to say, he has He got the instructions to go online, so what will he do next?" Lin Chuang asked.

"He will take action." Tian Biyu said.

"Yes, he will take action. What action will he take? Think about it, everyone." Lin Chuang asked.

"Team leader, according to Japanese habits, they should set up a dead mailbox. Will there also be a dead mailbox between Hou Ming and his online?" Shao Jijun asked.

"That's not necessarily the case. With Hou Ming's status, no one will be suspicious even if he calls or visits directly." Zhu Xiaoguang said.

"Xiaoguang, what you said is wrong. The Japanese are very strict, sometimes to the point of rigidity. For example, the dead letter box has been proven to be an effective means of protecting the upline and other spies in the same group. The Japanese will not Hou Ming's status is special, so we will use other methods to communicate. Although it is reasonable to have many people with Hou Ming, if you use the method of making phone calls, once Hou Ming is exposed, the risk of contact person exposure is also great. It is very large, so I think the dead mailbox is probably still the main channel for Hou Ming to communicate with the upline." Lin Chuang said.

"I agree with this point. There are many Japanese radio stations in Nanjing City, and they contact Shanghai at a fixed time, usually every half a month, at a fixed time, and usually do not contact. This article also fully demonstrates The rigidity of the Japanese is rigorous to put it mildly." Tian Biyu supported Lin Chuang's point of view from his own professional perspective.

"Then according to what you said, the Japanese are too rigid and don't know how to be flexible. There is another problem. According to this statement, the communication between the Japanese is one-way, and only the upline gives instructions to the downline. If the downline has Can't you take the initiative to contact the upline to report the emergency?" Zhu Xiaoguang asked.

"You raised a good question. From the analysis of Yuan Zuocai's case, the Japanese spies can contact the upline, but he is still passive. It is up to the upline to decide whether to meet or not." Lin Chuang said.

"Then, let's go back to the case of Hou Ming. Team leader Lin, Hou Ming was ordered to kill Fan Yitong. According to normal circumstances, he will definitely report to the upper line. So, how does he send a signal to the upper line?" Shao Jijun asked.

"It's not necessarily what you said. Fan Yitong was killed in the street, which is actually tantamount to declaring the operation a success, and Hou Ming doesn't need to report again." Lin Chuang said.

"Then, what you said is a bit contradictory. Since he doesn't need to report to the upline, he won't take the initiative to contact the upline. Doesn't that prove that there is no problem with his trip to Huichun Hall today?" Tian Biyu asked puzzled road.

"Second Lieutenant Tian is a good question. I can tell everyone that the matter of Fan Yitong should be a thing of the past with Hou Ming, and he should be planning bigger actions again." Lin Chuang said.

"What, a bigger move?" Tian Biyu, Shao Jijun, and Zhu Xiaoguang all showed surprise when they heard this.

The enemy plans greater actions, which means that they will make greater contributions.

"Yes. So, everyone, work harder. When you collect the net, you will find that the fish in the net are not as simple as one or two fish." Lin Chuang said.

He did not tell the news provided by Fu Sheng.

Except for Hao Ligang, Tian Biyu and Wu Liangce, Lin Chuang didn't believe in anyone, multiple minds are always necessary.

If one more person knows, there is a danger of leaking the secret. If it is not necessary, he doesn't even want to tell Wu Liangce and Tian Biyu, let alone Shao Jijun and Zhu Xiaoguang.

Therefore, there is no need to expand the scope of knowledge.

Most importantly, Lin Chuang was worried about Fu Sheng's other identity. He didn't know how the underground party would eradicate him in the future. Maybe Fu Sheng would die on the street tomorrow.

At this sensitive moment, it is better to be cautious and not let more people know about him.
