Xiangshan Honey Cake!

Guo Yongxin often goes to the lotus pond to buy Xiangshan honey cakes?

There was a burst of excitement in his heart but he pressed it down forcefully. Song Shutang confirmed again and again: "How do you know that the Xiangshan honey cakes bought by Guo Yongxin are sold by Lianhuachi, can't they be purchased from other places?"

"It's definitely Xiangshan Honey Cake from Baishizhong County in Lianhuachi. I can recognize it as soon as I eat it." Gao Huaihai is very confident in what he has eaten.

Soon Gao Huaihai had no more information to provide, and asked someone to take him down, and at the same time warned him not to spread the matter of today.

"It's definitely not a coincidence that Guo Yongxin has been buying Xiangshan honey cakes in Lianhuachi." Zhu Yue's hoarse voice was affirmative.

Long Hao also said: "If the radio operator is really within the delineated range now, even if Guo Yongxin likes to eat Xiangshan honey cakes, he will not go to buy them from time to time. He should try his best to avoid too much contact with the radio operator, even in other It’s not okay to appear nearby.”

"Gao Huaihai may have provided us with a crucial clue." Song Shutang believed that the Xiangshan Honey Cake might be the key to breaking the situation.

"Go to the lotus pond." Zhu Yue made a prompt decision.

The three immediately set off for the lotus pond.

The name of the lotus pond can be traced back to the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. The Minister of Rites lived in the "Hanyuan" here. There are two ponds in the garden where lotus flowers are grown.

Getting off the rickshaw at the lotus pond, the three of them looked for a shop selling Xiangshan honey cakes.

Walk half a circle around the lotus pond and see the signboard on the north road.

Xiangshan Honey Cake in Baishizhong County.

There are a lot of customers queuing outside the door, and it seems that business is booming.

The three of them went forward to line up and chatted with the people waiting in front of them. They learned that this Xiangshan honey cake is a traditional snack in Zhongxian County. It is rumored that the original inventor was Bai Juyi, a writer of the Tang Dynasty. He was named after his nickname "Xiangshan Jushi". Xiangshan Honey Cake.

This store first moved to the mountain city after Zhong County, and claimed to be a descendant of Bai Juyi. It has been a century-old brand that has been engaged in this business for several generations.

In fact, the method is not complicated. The raw materials are honey, flour, and sesame oil. Wheat flour and honey are kneaded into dough. After fermentation, it is baked in an oven. The baked honey cake is crispy and fragrant, soft and delicious.

You can smell the fragrance in the queue.

But the three of them obviously hadn't been here before, so they withdrew from the team after getting a general understanding of the situation, and found a teahouse to sit down.

"The location of this store is very good. Qixinggang on the left and Qingongju Street on the right, both have a wide view of the road." Song Shutang put down his teacup and said.

"what do you mean?"

"It is very likely that Guo Yongxin took the opportunity of buying Xiangshan honey cakes to observe the lookout here and protect the telegraph operators at work."

"Doesn't that mean that the radio operator lives nearby?" Long Hao immediately looked around, but he was careful not to make it obvious.

Zhu Yue didn't look around but said, "Is our deduction correct?"

"Assuming that the spy agents do live near the Lianhuachi, and Guo Yongxin needs to come forward after obtaining the information, and at the same time be responsible for protecting the operators at work, then he must make a reasonable explanation for his occasional visit to the Lianhuachi, in case A rainy day.

It is a good excuse to come here to buy the excuse that you like to eat Xiangshan honey cakes. At the same time, the location of the store is excellent. You can observe the situation of Qixinggang and Qigongju Street, and even the road from below through the lotus pond can be seen clearly. Clearly, it is an excellent place to watch the wind. "

Based on the current situation, Song Shutang believes that the possibility is extremely high.

First of all, Zhu Yue drew a map to delineate the area, provided that he did not know about Xiangshan Honey Cake.

Secondly, Kang Hao followed Guo Yongxin, and the other party was indeed heading in this direction.

Moreover, Guo Yongxin was responsible for protecting the operator, so during the process of the operator sending the report, he had to observe the surrounding situation to see if anyone came to arrest and search, so as to notify the operator in time and cover the evacuation.

Finally, it appeared at the place where the radio operator lived. Guo Yongxin also had to explain to the outside world. You don’t know when you will meet acquaintances, so explaining that you like to eat the Xiangshan honey cake here can save a lot of trouble.

Adding these conditions together, Song Shutang believes that the inference has a high probability of success.

The whole process was that Guo Yongxin got the information from the corresponding mailbox, and went to Lianhuachi to hand it over to the operator. During the process of the operator sending the report, he lined up to buy Xiangshan honey cakes and was in charge of the lookout.The operator informed Guo Yongxin of the approximate time required for this transmission, and the transmission was completed within the corresponding time. If there was no emergency, he left with the Xiangshan Honey Cake, and would not meet the operator again, and waited for the next information transmission. .

Of course there is another possibility.

Guo Yongxin just likes to eat Xiangshan honey cakes, and this has nothing to do with the radio operator, it's all just your own clever reasoning.

It's all about choice now.

Zhu Yue drank his tea in silence and kept thinking in his heart.

Search or not?
The buildings that can be seen at a glance from outside the shop door are clear. If the watch is protected, the radio operator must be inside these buildings, and they can surround and search the radio station.

But if the judgment is wrong, a large-scale siege and search is very likely to expose the operation, and the radio operator will disappear after being alerted, and there will be no chance of investigation.

How to choose has become difficult.

After a cup of tea, Zhu Yue slapped the table and said, "Search!"

The scope was set by him, and he has no reason to question it now.

Moreover, Song Shutang's analysis is very reasonable and can explain Guo Yongxin's behavior and psychology.

Investigations tend to be more decisive.

Hearing that Zhu Yue decided to search, Song Shutang agreed.

Large-scale searches are risky.

But dragging is also risky.

Guo Yongxin disappeared, and the telegraph operator will inevitably notice it after a long time, and will still face the problem of the other party's transfer.

"Go back and find someone important to the section chief." Zhu Yue immediately got up and said.

The scope of the search was not small, and there were so many residents, the three of them simply couldn't complete the job.

As for staying and watching?

What are you staring at?
You don't even know who the other party is, staring is useless, so you might as well go back together.

At the intelligence department, Zhu Yue went to report to Shen Lushui, and Song Shutang and Long Hao returned to the office to wait for the news.

The two sat on their stools facing each other.

Long Hao said in a low voice: "If the radio station is searched and the enemy operator is captured, then our speed will be quite fast."

It was originally thought that if the clues to Guo Yongxin's death were interrupted, follow-up investigation would be more difficult.

Who knew it was only a few days ago, and the scope of the operator was locked.

"It won't be too late for you to be happy when you really catch someone."

"I was thinking along the way, our thinking is fine, we will definitely catch people."

"I would like to borrow your auspicious words." Song Shutang was also very confident in this reasoning.

After all, every behavior of Guo Yongxin needs a reasonable explanation.

I often buy Xiangshan honey cakes.

Simply because you like to eat?
Song Shutang felt that it would not be so simple.

In the office, Shen Lushui was also a little unprepared for Zhu Yue's search request.

After all, he said in front of Bao Yiwei that the search might take some time, and he hoped that the director could give it a few more days, and at the same time help resist the blame from above.

Bao Yiwei understood the difficulty of the investigation and agreed to give more time, but now Zhu Yue has found such accurate clues in the past two days and asked for a siege and search. Of course, Shen Lushui had to respond.

"Are you confident?" Shen Lushui asked.

"Not much." Zhu Yue said truthfully.

They are all inferred based on some known clues, and there is really no evidence to support it.

"Insist on searching?"

"Search." Zhu Yue did not change his opinion.

There will be no more new clues if the investigation continues, but giving up this search may miss a good opportunity, and he wants to try it.

This is not a gamble.

Instead, have confidence in the inference!
