Chapter 294 Research and Judgment 2
It has been more than 24 hours since Hideaki Miyamoto disappeared. If it was as Tuozhi said, his body should have been discovered "unintentionally" by the Japanese long ago.

Based on what Xiao Qingmin said just now, Hideaki Miyamoto is not a reliable person. Now that the body has not appeared, it is a bit interesting. This guy ran away?

Zuo Zhong turned his head and asked Xiao Qingmin: "Based on what you know about Hideaki Miyamoto, will he commit suicide according to the orders of the higher-ups, or does he have the courage to commit suicide?"

"Never."

Xiao Qingmin's answer was affirmative: "His career in the consulate has come to a standstill, only his family is still complete, and the meaning of life is family and affection.

If Miyamoto is a decisive person, in order to protect his family, he can indeed be allowed to die calmly, but Miyamoto's character is cowardly and lacks courage.

So even if he is ordered by the higher-ups, he will never obediently obey orders. I think he is probably hiding somewhere now, so he is hesitant. "

In short, she did not believe that Miyamoto dared to commit suicide. It was hard to imagine that he would end his life without hesitation for a waste who was so hesitant to perform ordinary tasks.

Tuozhi also nodded: "Mr. Zuo, the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not soldiers, they have received good education, are active in thinking, and think very rationally.

Let them die like samurai, I also think it is impossible, so the Aoki Mansion planned to find suitable candidates from the army at that time. "

Zuo Zhong asked curiously: "Then why didn't the Qingmu Mansion implement it?"

Tuozhi said awkwardly: "There is no officer in the army who is willing to cooperate."

Well, ants are greedy for life, and devils are fanatics, but they are not stupid. If they are killed in battle, at least they can enter the bullshit shrine. Suicide is not acceptable.

After listening to what the two said, Zuo Zhong almost knew that there was a high probability that Miyamoto was still alive and he was hesitating. Where would he hide?
To judge this point, we have to go back to the fact that he was ordered to commit suicide. First of all, he could not kill himself or kill himself by drinking a bullet, so it is easy to find out that he committed suicide through the tools left at the scene.

In this way, the Japanese would have no reason to go to war. It seemed that Miyamoto must have been killed. What are the methods of suicide that do not require the use of tools, nothing more than burning, throwing water, and falling off a cliff.

It is difficult to confirm whether it is suicide or being killed in these ways of death.

Zuo Zhong thought for a while, and the first thing to rule out was fire. Miyamoto was very cowardly, it was impossible to commit suicide in such a tragic way, and if it was burned to ashes, Little Japan would have no so-called evidence.

Then only jumping into water and jumping off a cliff is left, and some camouflage is done on the spot to leave an identifiable corpse. This is the evidence that the Japanese need, and the most important things in Jinling are water and mountains.

In addition to the Yangtze River passing through the city, there are more than 100 large and small rivers and lakes near Jinling, including Qinhuai River, Jinchuan River, Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, Baijia Lake, Shijiu Lake, Gucheng Lake, and Jinniu Lake.

Miyamoto could find a random river and plant it in, enough for the Secret Service to find it for a few years, but Zuo Zhong thought of one thing, did the military attache of the Japanese consulate really go to Yanziji because he heard that there was an execution ground?
Could Yanziji be the place where the suicide was agreed? After all, this place has the title of the first rocky place in the Yangtze River, with an altitude of 36 meters. The rocks stand upright on the river, facing the sky on three sides, and you will die if you jump down.

As a result, Hideaki Miyamoto hesitated and did not dare to commit suicide. The Japanese could only return without success.

For example, there are too many people in Yanziji, or if the whereabouts are exposed and you need to move, a backup plan is very important. Jinling also has no shortage of mountains and hills.

As for whether the backup plan would also be to commit suicide by drowning, it is unlikely. Hideaki Miyamoto is not a tortoise. The Japanese just stroll by the water, and any fool will know that there is a problem.

Little Japan is used to acting immediately and standing up, and will not act like this.

He considered for a while to call Wu Chunyang, and whispered a few words. Wu Chunyang nodded and led the people out. Although the possibility of finding Miyamoto was not high, Yanziji was still worth investigating.

Watching Wu Chunyang leave, Zuo Zhong suddenly asked Xiao Qingmin: "Miss Xiao, I have a question for you. You should be familiar with the terrain of Nancheng, after all, your radio station is hidden there, right?"

Xiao Qingmin's expression changed. She had just decided to cooperate with the Chinese, and she hadn't confessed a lot of information. How could Zuo Zhong know about the radio station, even the specific location.

Zuo Zhong glanced at her, even if the spies surrendered, they would always beat and remind them to let them know what they can and cannot do.

After all, it was a senior agent, Xiao Qingmin returned to normal in an instant: "Yes, I hid the radio station, code book and equipment in a cave in the southern suburbs, but the code must be invalid."

On this point, Zuo Zhong believes that the latent intelligence team is an independent codebook, which is useless for deciphering other messages. When Doihara knew that Butterfly had been captured, the first thing he did was to invalidate the code.

"Mr. Zuo, do you suspect that Miyamoto is hiding in the mountainous area of ​​Jinling South City? It's very possible. There are no places of interest or historic sites there, and there are very few pedestrians nearby." Xiao Qingmin's mind turned quickly.

She went on to add: "At that time, I chose the southern suburbs of Jinling as the storage location for the radio station because of the consideration of confidentiality. I couldn't see a single person or even a wolf there for more than ten miles."

Zuo Zhong frowned after hearing this. Originally, he thought that if Miyamoto jumped off the cliff, the southern suburbs with many cliffs would be the best place, but after Xiao Qingmin said that, he thought it was unlikely.

Because the place is too remote, it is not easy for the Japanese to find the corpse, and what to do if the corpse is dragged away by wolves, they can't "revenge" the wolf, but there is nowhere else suitable except for the southern suburbs.

Tuozhi was good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Zuo Zhong didn't make a statement, he knew that he was not sure about Miyamoto hiding in the southern suburbs, so he asked Xiao Qingmin: "Ms. Xiao, hello, does Miyamoto know how to survive in the wild?"

"Survival in the wild?"

Xiao Qingmin shook her head and said, "You should know that intelligence missions are all in densely populated places, and there are not many survival trainings in the wild, and officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will survive in the wild? It's unimaginable."

"Well, that's true. If these guys who eat steak and drink red wine go to the wild, they will only starve to death." Tuozhi also agreed with this point of view. It seems that they will be somewhat disdainful of the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zuo Chong thought about the mountainous area near Jinling in his mind. Based on the discussion just now, he came up with some ideas. There might be a better place to hide than the barren hills in the southern suburbs.

After Tuozhi complained about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he carefully expressed his opinion: "Mr. Zuo, judging from Ms. Xiao's narrative, I don't think Miyamoto will hide in the southern suburbs, where the necessary living environment is lacking."

"You're right."

Zuo Zhong agreed with a smile: "Although the southern suburbs are inaccessible, there is no source of food and no inns and hotels for rest. As the deputy consul general, Miyamoto is pampered and pampered, so it is impossible to stay.

He is not a professional agent, and he might not even know how to make a fire if he leaves the city. If it were me, I would rather choose another place, where there are not too many people, but there are enough food sources. "

Xiao Qingmin and Tuo Zhi were a little curious, and said in unison: "Where?"

Zuo Zhong uttered three words: "Zhongshan Mausoleum!"

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, this is what he thought of. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located in the eastern suburbs of Jinling City, on the southern slope of Xiaomao Mountain in the Zijin Mountains.

It was not until the beginning of the 22nd year of the Republic of China that various projects including the archway, the mausoleum gate, the stele pavilion, the fence, and the guard room were completed. At this time, there were very few tourists who came to visit and pay homage to the former president.

But even though the flies are small, they are also meat. There are some restaurants around the area that do business with tourists. When the tourists leave at night, the neighborhood becomes a deserted place. It is easy to hide a person in the dense forest.

Tuozhi was not familiar with Jinling, and he didn't even know where Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum was, so he had to look to Xiao Qingmin. The two of them had to work together and show enough value for use.

Xiao Qingmin pretended not to see him. She had stayed in Jinling for several years, so of course she was familiar with the situation of Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum. After Zuo Zhong said this, she also immediately realized that Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum was indeed more suitable than the southern suburbs.

Besides living conditions, Miyamoto had more reasons to commit suicide in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. She hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to say it, but thinking of the radio station mentioned by Zuo Zhong, she still spoke.

"Mr. Zuo, if Miyamoto's body is found in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, everyone will think that it is Miyamoto Hideaki who was killed by the radicals of the Republic of China, and sacrificed his life to worship the former president of your country.

When things develop to that point, the emotions of the people in Japan will be incited, and the war between the two countries will be inevitable. "Xiao Qingmin said solemnly, she was looking at this issue from a political point of view.

What she said, Zuo Zhong had already thought of it. The Japanese are always good at deceiving the people. If Miyamoto really died in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, he would be able to think of the headlines of the Japanese newspapers. It must be very shocking.

For example, "this matter is a planned action of the Republic of China", "anti-Japanese political conspiracy", "sacrifice" and so on.

However, Zijin Mountain, where the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located, stretches westward from the vicinity of the Taiping Gate, with a radius of 31 square kilometers. It is so difficult to find a Japanese who deliberately hid in such a large area.

The only clue that can be used is the source of food. The weather is neither cold nor hot. Miyamoto can sleep in a cave on the mountain, but if he wants to eat, he has to go to a restaurant near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Zuo Zhong thought about it, and said to Tuo Zhi and Xiao Qingmin: "Thank you for your help, Miss Xiao lives here temporarily, after this incident is over, we will arrange a safe place for you alone.

As for your real background and the hiding place of the radio station, you can write it down with pen and paper. Now we are a family, and interrogation is not appropriate. You can chat to increase understanding. "

When the two of them heard Zuo Zhong's words, their hearts were moved. It seemed that they would be in the same department in the future. I don't know how the Chinese would arrange it, whether they would be in charge of the brain trust like today.

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he stood up and said to Gui Youguang, "You are responsible for safety here. If Ms. Xiao has any needs, you can decide at your own discretion. There is no need to report. Cooperation requires sincerity."

"Yes."

Gui Youguang looked displeased, he really didn't want to do this kind of work as a bodyguard.

Zuo Zhong ignored him, and took He Yijun and a few of his subordinates to help him get out of the safe point. Time was running out now, and he had to make some arrangements near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, hoping to find traces of Miyamoto.
