cicada

Chapter 769
At the end of July, Jinling was scorching hot and extremely hot. There were few pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, and only the humming of cicadas remained.

At the intersection of Yinyangying Road in the west of the city where there are many embassies and consulates, two heavily armed military policemen are walking back and forth and patrolling.

Hideaki Miyamoto, the deputy consul general of Japan in Jinling two years ago, mysteriously "disappeared" here, so the security is naturally stricter than other streets.

There are all Western-style western-style buildings with different architectural styles. Among them, the gate of West Bridge No. [-] Western-style Building, which is very close to the Dutch Legation, is locked.

A semi-old Ford sedan was parked on the side of the road not far away, and Zuo Zhong, Gu Qi, Shen Dongxin and Tong Suo were sitting in the car.

"Deputy Director, No. [-] is the Encryption and Interpretation Office under the Department of Electronics and Communications of the Ministry of Communications of the National Government. It has never been listed here, and it is very mysterious.

The main body of the Western-style building is the office space, with four floors, more than [-] staff of various types, and three bungalow dormitories in the yard.

Usually most people are forbidden to go out, and there is also a dormitory area near the Central Party Headquarters. The internal security is good, and nothing has happened. "

Shen Dongxin in the driver's seat turned his head and introduced the situation softly. This information is not a secret to the Secret Service.

"Dongxin is right."

Gu Qi in the back row also nodded, and opened a document: "This place is relatively hidden, very close to the Japanese embassy, ​​suitable for radio surveillance.

I asked the Telecommunications Division that if you want to collect electronic information during communications completely, you must be as close as possible to the source of the signal, otherwise it is easy to miss.

However, since the establishment of the Interpretation Institute in the 21st year of the Republic of China, it has not achieved much results because the Japanese often change the secret code. "

"kindness?"

Zuo Zhong on the side frowned. There hasn't been any progress in the past five years. This work efficiency is very republican, but is it really like this?

The bald head is not a generous person, and the organization that allows him to continue to allocate funds and pay attention to it is certainly not easy, and this needs to be investigated clearly.

Putting down the curtains of the car window casually, he looked at the document in Gu Qi's hand: "You will go to Lishan Company later and ask Wei Daming.

They are all engaged in telecommunications, and they belong to the same circle. Maybe they know some information that we don't have yet.

By the way, let the people from Lishan Company carry out electronic investigation on the translation inspection office and the dormitory area, and record the sending time and frequency of all recent telegrams.

By the way, what about personnel information, I heard that Wen Yuqing, the director here, is Minister Song's cousin, is the news true? "

"Yes, indeed it is."

While Gucci answered, he quickly searched for information, and finally stopped when he turned to a file with black and white photos.

"Wen Yuqing, a graduate of Tsinghua University and a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University, has a very good relationship with his wife and the Chairman's wife.

One site has been reviewed with us, and colleagues from the US station have been invited to transfer out. Wen's behavior at home and abroad is normal and there is nothing suspicious.

He once served as the principal of the Tax Specialized School of the Ministry of Finance, the counselor of the Ministry of Finance, and the director of the Shanghai International Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Communications. He has extraordinary abilities.

During the Central Plains War, he led a team to decipher many secret messages from Feng, Yan, Tang, and Li, and helped the national army win the final victory.

Last year, he also concurrently served as the director of the Department of Electricity Administration, in charge of the national electricity administration. All official and commercial telegrams, city telephones, and electric lights are under Wen's jurisdiction. "

able,
with background,
With backing,
Have a degree.

Such a talented person with four talents, why was he not known before, and it is a bit of a failure to be the director of the Department of Electricity and Political Affairs until now.

Don't look at this position as if it sounds like the top is in charge of the sky and the bottom is in charge of the land. In fact, the real power is in the hands of foreigners, major telegraph and electrical companies.

Zuo Zhong stared at the handsome man with sharp eyes and glasses in the photo, and couldn't help but lament the cruelty of party-state and personnel strife.

However, this person had deciphered warlord telegrams many times before, but it was like a different person when he arrived at the inspection and translation office. The gap between before and after was too great.

It's justifiable if you don't have the ability.
I am afraid that there is a problem with attitude.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Qi took out several other personnel files, took out one and spread it in front of the two of them, and continued to speak in a deep voice.

"According to our information, Wen Yuqing is busy with work, and he received education in a church school since he was a child, so his Chinese level is very poor.

The day-to-day work of the Cryptography Institute is presided over by a deputy director named Wang Weiqing, who is in charge of specific business, economics and some personnel.

The information shows that Wang is from Chuzhou, Jiangsu Province, and his family relationship, experience, words and deeds, and trajectory have been verified and there is no sign of concealment or forgery.

In 1932, he graduated from the Chemistry Department of Guanghua University in Shanghai. After being introduced and guaranteed by the professor, he successfully entered the International Telecommunications Bureau.

As a result, I got to know Wen Yuqing, who was the director of the Telecommunications Bureau at the time. Wang's thought was progressive, and Wen valued him very much, so he took him to the inspection and translation office. "

Wen Yuqing, Wang Weiqing.

Zuo Zhong lowered his head and carefully read the information of these two people. According to the information, their relationship is a bit like the relationship between Dai Chunfeng and himself.

It's a pity that the thousand-mile horse that Bole Wen Yuqing picked out doesn't seem to be very good, at least on the surface, and it needs to be verified in detail.

In addition, if Wang Weiqing has no problems, he would be a good candidate for internal response. A deputy director who presides over the work can do many things.

With their cooperation, the speed of screening will be very fast. What the Secret Service lacks most is time. It seems necessary to contact the other party head-on.

"The following are middle-level cadres."

Gu Qi didn't notice the thoughtful Zuo Zhong, and took out all the remaining four files, starting from the first one.

"The inspection and translation institute has four main institutions, one is the code-breaking group, the other is the research group, the third is the reconnaissance radio station, and the fourth is the general affairs group.

The person in charge of the deciphering team is Li Si, who is also a native of Chuzhou. He also graduated from Guanghua University in Shanghai. He is extremely intelligent and studious.

As a top student in the Department of Mathematics, this person has done some research on number permutations and combinations. After graduation, he went to Guangxi University to teach mathematics.

Li Si and Wang Weiqing were cousins, and they were recommended many times by Wang, so they left Guangxi Province University and came to the Code Inspection Office of the Department of Electricity and Politics. "

"It turned out to be a related household again."

Zuo Zhong shook his head: "It's not enough, Shen Dongxin, you will be in charge of reviewing the personnel materials of the inspection and translation office later.

Starting with friends and classmates, it is best to find those who are not currently in their hometown or Jinling to verify the authenticity of their files.

Do not contact the other party's family members. If the spies are in the translation agency, they will definitely set up a security post. Once they are surprised, they will be in trouble.

During the review process, we must pay special attention to the blank period on the timeline. The training of moles by Japanese intelligence organizations takes time. "

"Yes, Deputy Director."

Shen Dongxin nodded. He is better at intelligence collection than action. With the cooperation of local stations, this job is not difficult.

After several years of development, the Secret Service has eyes and ears all over the country, and it doesn't take long to investigate a person in the country.

Zuo Zhong naturally knew this too, so he didn't say much. After arranging the relevant tasks, he turned his attention back to Gu Qi.

"Old Gu, you continue."

"Ok."

Gu Qi sat upright, reporting unhurriedly: "The director of the reconnaissance radio station is named Liang Bolun, and he has some connections with the Secret Service.

He was originally the director of the radio station of the Guangdong Provincial Air Force, but was later instigated by his uncle, Liang Zhaogui, a veteran of the Fuxing Society with the same reputation as the Bureau.

This person has been to France and the United States for advanced studies before, and he has no professional skills, otherwise he would not take on this important task, and his life is more westernized.

Lian Shan, the head of the general affairs team, is in a similar situation to him. They all returned from studying abroad, and their political attitudes are pro-European and American, and they are disgusted with Japan and Red Russia.

The family background of the surname Lian is not simple. His grandfather was a wealthy businessman in Nanyang. He helped the former president organize fundraising in the local area, and he was kind to the party and the country.

at last."

As he said that, Gu Qi took aside the files just now and kept one, and tapped the name on it with a slight frown and said.

"The last is Chen Shi, the leader of the research group, who is from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, graduated from Zhijiang University in Hangzhou, and then studied in Japan to learn Japanese.

After returning to China, he worked in the translation department of Shanghai Japanese Radio Station. He claimed to have participated in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association at [-] and visited the [-]th Route Army.

We haven't verified this statement yet. The Japanese watch the radio very closely, and the Japanese policemen in Hongkou often patrol around.

The work of the research team is to count, summarize, and analyze known Japanese bottom reports, and find out the usage habits and frequencies of words and sentences in them.

The guarantor of the Chen Jinjian Translation Institute is said to be the head of the Central Audit Bureau. It is not clear what the relationship between the two is, and the background is indeed a bit sensitive. "

Study abroad in Japan.

Enter the government.

Recommended by the head of the Central Audit Bureau.

Zuo Zhong, whose face was originally relaxed, gradually became serious. This man named Chen Shi sounded the most suspicious, but this needed evidence.

The government's best code-deciphering agency has many people involved, and it is impossible to arrest people without real evidence, and it is easy to scare the snake.

And he has never seen such an obvious Japanese spy, who almost wrote on his forehead that I am a villain, which made him hesitate a bit.

The most troublesome thing is the head of the Audit Bureau, who is a veteran of the Guo party, a member of the old alliance, and the brother of the bald brother, so it is not easy to offend.

After deliberating for a moment, Zuo Zhong went through the names and positions of the middle and high-level cadres introduced by Gu Qi in his mind.

Wen Yuqing
Deputy Director Wang Weiqing
Deciphering team leader Li Si

Detective Radio Director Liang Bolun

General Affairs Team Leader Lian Shan

Chen Shi, leader of the research group

One of these people is a well-connected household with a deep foothold, but Li Si relies on his own talent and has a weaker background.

Should we start with this person first, and then contact Wang Weiqing? As the saying goes, pick a persimmon and squeeze it, Zuo Zhong couldn't help but think.

This is definitely not from the heart, but a strategy. Those who do big things must not stick to small details. Besides, Li Si has never studied, so his background is easy to identify.

Determined to pay attention, he glanced at the copper lock on the co-pilot looking around, smiled kindly, and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Tongsuo, you heard what Section Chief Gu said just now, and I gave you a task to follow Li Si around the clock to find out the details of this person.

You choose the manpower yourself, and I will let the monitoring room cooperate to find out Li Si's relationship network and living habits in the shortest possible time.

Work hard. After a while, I will give you a difficult task. If you do it well, maybe you can take my place in the future. "

kindness?
Gu Qi always felt that these words seemed familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere, and just about to ask, Zuo Zhong ordered Shen Dongxin to drive.

They stayed for a long time, and the two gendarmes had already looked over here. In order to avoid trouble, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible.

A puff of blue smoke came out from the exhaust pipe of the car, and he quickly left Yinyangying Road, and drove along the main road to the prepared transit point.

Zuo Zhong rested his hands on his lower abdomen, his eyes calmly scanned the streets with anti-Japanese slogans posted, and thought about Chen Shi's materials again.

The other party once said that he went to the front line to condolences to the [-]th Route Army who heroically killed the enemy and severely damaged the Japanese army. The authenticity of this incident is a good breakthrough.

You can try to send someone to check it out, just think of it as collecting basic information, if there is a date or not, it will be a three-pointer, and it is a good thing to rule it out.

The Japanese patrol is easy to solve.
Just bypass it.

There is no need for investigators to go to the radio station to find out the situation. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association has many members, and there will always be someone who remembers whether he has been there.

The relevant work can be handed over to Song Minghao and Wu Jingzhong. These two old fritters cannot get close to the station of the Japanese Third Fleet and are idle.

It is more than enough to carry out this task with their professional ability. If they fail, there will be candidates for the chief and deputy station masters of Shanghai Station in the future.

fighting behind enemy lines,

There is a shortage of such talents.
