"Besides him, there are two other people who were captured by you. One is the radio operator Fukuzawa Kazubayashi and the one in charge of the operation, Araki Kuniichi." said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"Do you have a radio station?" Cao Youguang asked again, "But we didn't find any radio stations."

"The radio station is not here, it is for public use." Shiro Yamaguchi said and lowered his head.

This clue was very important, and Cao Youguang and Yang Denghuan's eyes lit up.

"Where is the radio station?" asked Cao Youguang.

"I don't know either. Only Fukuzawa Ichilin knows. This is also to keep it secret." Yamaguchi Shiro raised his head and said this. Fearing that Yang Denghuan would not believe him, he added: "What I said is true. Since it has come to this, there is no need for me to lie."

"I believe that we sometimes do this too." Yang Denghuan said this nonsense sincerely, and then asked, "What should Fukuzawa Ichilin do when he needs to send a message?"

"Go out, but I don't know where to go. I think we're going to find the radio station. As you know, in our line of work, there are some things you can't just ask casually." said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation on the day you were arrested." Yang Denghuan changed the subject and asked immediately without waiting for Yamaguchi Shiro's response, "What did you find that day, or who gave you the news that made you retreat in a hurry?"

"On the day of the arrest..." Yamaguchi Shiro thought for a moment and said, "We share a message with other undercover teams, that is, if anyone has intelligence that a certain team is in danger, they are obliged to report it. In order to avoid contact and increase the chance of exposure, the way to report the news is to drop a purple loquat flower."

Having said this, Shiro Yamaguchi paused and looked at the teacup on the interrogation table.

"And then what?" Cao Youguang asked when he saw Yamaguchi Shiro stopped.

Yang Denghuan noticed the look in Yamaguchi Shiro's eyes, smiled, filled the teacup with water, and walked over to hand it to Yamaguchi Shiro's mouth.

Shiro Yamaguchi looked at Yang Denghuan gratefully, then took Yang Denghuan's hand and drank most of the water in the teacup in big gulps before stopping.

"Because the flowers of the loquat tree are mostly yellow and white, there are almost no purple loquat flowers. Precisely because of its rarity, it can become a tool for transmitting messages. In order to be able to effectively convey information, each of our groups has prepared some purple loquat flowers." said Shiro Yamaguchi.

Yang Denghuan took out a few dried purple loquat flowers from the box, shook them towards Yamaguchi Shiro and asked, "Is this the kind of loquat flower?"

Cao Youguang looked over and saw that the flower was indeed slightly purple, unlike ordinary loquat flowers.

"So you've already seen it." Cao Youguang said with a smile.

"I'm different from others. I don't pay attention to normal things, but as long as there is something different, I will pay attention to it." Yang Denghuan casually threw the loquat flowers into the box and said with a smile.

"This is experience! Keen observation is crucial to solving cases!" Cao Youguang sounded like an expert.

"Did you decide to retreat after you discovered the purple loquat flowers?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"That's right." Yamaguchi Shiro nodded.

"Then why didn't the retreat succeed?" Yang Denghuan asked again.

"Your people came too quickly! We were just about to retreat when your people rushed in!" Shiro Yamaguchi sighed.

"Tell me about the time you discovered the purple loquat flowers." Yang Denghuan asked.

"I didn't pay any attention at first. It was drizzling outside and there were not many customers in the store all afternoon. There was no customer at all at that time," said Shiro Yamaguchi.

Cao Youguang was thinking about Fuze Yilin's radio station, and thought that Yang Denghuan should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory instead of wasting time on these details. When he heard Yamaguchi Shiro telling a story, he became a little impatient and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

Shiro Yamaguchi was a little embarrassed and looked very awkward.

"You can talk about your own things. I'm willing to listen." Yang Deng said with a smile, looking quite kind.

Cao Youguang took a deep breath, suppressed his impatience, and turned away.

"I was dozing off on the counter. You know, whenever it rains, people will inevitably feel a little sleepy," said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"Yes, I tend to feel sleepy whenever it rains." Yang Denghuan agreed lightly.

"At this moment, a man suddenly came in from outside the door. I originally thought that he was here to buy something, and I was very happy. But who knew that he stood in the corner as soon as he came in. Without asking, I knew that this guy was a gangster who was taking shelter from the rain and it was impossible for him to spend money." said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"I also think this kind of person is annoying!" Yang Denghuan nodded again.

"I looked at this guy's feet first, thinking that he might make our shop full of water. But when I looked under his feet, I immediately found a purple loquat flower!" said Shiro Yamaguchi.

After hearing this, Cao Youguang stood up immediately and asked with a hint of excitement, "You said the loquat flowers were left behind by the person who took shelter from the rain?"

"I'm not sure." Yamaguchi Shiro shook his head slowly and said, "But the man who took shelter from the rain was also captured by you. You can ask him."

"Then, what did you do after you saw the purple loquat flowers?" Yang Denghuan did not ask the people who were taking shelter from the rain, but continued with the previous question.

"This is the signal to retreat, so of course I have to organize a retreat! I'll let Fukuzawa Ichilin prepare weapons, and Araki Kuniichi and I will destroy the important documents. Araki and I are both veteran agents, so there's no problem with doing these things. But Fukuzawa-kun has just started lurking and has no experience at all. He might have been discovered by you when he was preparing weapons, and then your people rushed in." Yamaguchi Shiro sighed and said.

"Where is the person who took shelter from the rain? What was he doing at that time?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"I was just busy processing documents with Araki-kun, so who would have noticed him! But when I was pinned down, I heard a strange voice shouting, 'I'm here to take shelter from the rain! I'm here to take shelter from the rain! Someone's been murdered...' It should be the person who was taking shelter from the rain." said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"Before him, was there anyone else standing in that position?" Yang Denghuan asked.

“Is there…” Shiro Yamaguchi was stunned and stopped talking to himself, as if he was thinking.

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly." Yang Denghuan said gently.

Yamaguchi Shiro's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "I remember now! There was a person standing in front of the person taking shelter from the rain!"

"Tell me!" Yang Denghuan asked. Cao Youguang also sat up straight and looked at Yamaguchi Shiro with interest.

"That person's appearance is unclear..."

Before Yamaguchi Shiro could continue, Cao Youguang interrupted him and asked, "Why can't I see this person's face clearly?"

"He was wearing sunglasses and the brim of his top hat was pulled down low. The collar of his windbreaker stood up very high, so I didn't see his appearance clearly," said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"What is he doing standing there?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"There were a few female customers picking things in the store at that time. I thought this man was waiting for someone, so I ignored him. Later, those female customers left, but he didn't leave. I felt a little strange at the time and was about to ask him, but coincidentally, a few more customers came in and I was busy greeting them! When I looked over again, I didn't know when he left." Shiro Yamaguchi said again.

"You looked at him twice. Did you notice where his feet were?" Yang Denghuan asked again.

"No. I didn't think much about it at the time." Yamaguchi Shiro sighed.

"That is to say, you are not sure who threw the purple loquat flower into the corner?" Yang Denghuan asked. Yamaguchi Shiro thought about it and nodded slowly.

"Are there any distinctive features of the gray windbreaker?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"Distinctive features..." Shiro Yamaguchi was slightly stunned and said to himself.

"As a senior agent, your experience will allow you to discover something different, such as how to quickly remember a person," Yang Denghuan said seriously.

"Yes! I do have an impression." Yamaguchi Shiro nodded.

"Tell me about it." Yang Denghuan asked, glancing at Cao Youguang.

Cao Youguang nodded knowingly.

"At that time, the man was holding a box of snacks in his hand. I remember there were three words "Guiheizai" on the outside," recalled Shiro Yamaguchi.

"Is the snack box new or old?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"New!" Yamaguchi Shiro nodded.

"What time was it?" Yang Denghuan asked again.

"It's almost five o'clock." Shiro Yamaguchi said without thinking.

"Besides this, is there anything else that can make you remember this person?" Yang Denghuan asked.

Yamaguchi Shiro hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no more." At this point, Yamaguchi Shiro suddenly said, "But this person is quite tall, almost a head taller than me."

"How tall are you?" Cao Youguang asked.

"One meter sixty-eight." Yamaguchi Shiro said with a little pride.

"Well, this height is already considered tall among the Japanese!" Yang Denghuan said seriously.

"1.68 meters tall. If he's a head taller, he would be about 1.74 or 1.75 meters tall." Cao Youguang said after a brief calculation.

"Do you have anything else to add about this person?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"No more! This guy is not very noticeable. If you didn't remind me today, I really wouldn't have remembered him!" Shiro Yamaguchi said quickly.

"Well, now let's talk about this person who took shelter from the rain." Yang Denghuan said.

"That person? What's there to talk about with that person?" Shiro Yamaguchi said with a frown.

"The man taking shelter from the rain is named Huang Tao. Are you familiar with this name?" Yang Denghuan asked.

Shiro Yamaguchi thought about it and then shook his head.

"What's your impression of Huang Tao?" Yang Denghuan asked again.

"I don't have much impression. He is just like most Chinese people, timid, dull, and a little bit cunning." Shiro Yamaguchi said after thinking for a while.

"Where is Yuichi Tano? How can we find him?" Yang Denghuan suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Yuichi Tano, we agreed to meet at Chaotianmen Wharf after we get separated," said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"The dock is so big, how did we meet?" Cao Youguang asked with his eyes lighting up.

"Yuichi Tano has a skill, he can blow sugar figures. We agreed that if we get separated, Yuichi Tano will go to the dock to blow sugar figures. If it's me who meets him, it's fine, but if it's not me, the code word is 'buy a sugar figure of Sun Bajie'." said Shiro Yamaguchi.

"Sun Bajie?" Cao Youguang asked in surprise.

"This is intentional, to distinguish it from the normal candy figures we buy," said Shiro Yamaguchi.

Yang Denghuan turned to look at Cao Youguang. Cao Youguang waved to Chen Yansheng to come over, whispered a few words to him, and Chen Yansheng turned and left.

"Director, what do you think?" Yang Denghuan turned around and respectfully asked Cao Youguang.

"Let's stop here today and take him away first!" Cao Youguang said seriously.

Yamaguchi Shiro was taken away, and Cao Youguang couldn't wait to ask, "Old Han, who should we interrogate next?"

"What do you think? Let's discuss the matter." Yang Deng said with a smile
"Of course it's Fukuzawa Ichilin! Let's dig out the radio station first and destroy their communication tools!" Cao Youguang said excitedly.

"I think Fukuzawa Ichirin should wait a while. After all, he just interrogated Yamaguchi Shiro. If he were to interrogate Fukuzawa Ichirin directly, even a fool would be able to guess that it was Yamaguchi Shiro who betrayed him!" Yang Denghuan said after thinking for a while.

Cao Youguang nodded and said reluctantly, "That's right! We just developed a new one, and if he suspects us again, it would be a waste of time!"

"So, let's try Huang Tao first! Then we can try Fukuzawa Ichilin. He won't think that Yamaguchi Shiro betrayed him!"

"Okay! Then let's interrogate Huang Tao first!" Cao Youguang nodded in agreement, and his words were powerful.

Lu Fang heard Cao Youguang's words clearly and went out directly to handle the procedures for interrogation.

After a while, there was a sound of handcuffs outside. With the sound of the door opening, a thin man covered in shackles and looking honest was brought in.

This person was Huang Tao. Yang Denghuan understood as soon as he looked at him.

Huang Tao was held by two people, his legs dragging on the ground. Yang Denghuan was stunned and asked, "Did this guy's legs get broken?"

"No, this guy is not an important criminal, and he hasn't even been tortured!" Lu Fang said quickly.

"Then what's wrong with him?" Yang Denghuan said dissatisfiedly.

"I guess... he's probably scared! Otherwise, he was fine yesterday, but became like this today!" Lu Fang said indifferently.

"Sir, I have nothing to do here, I just want to avoid the rain, sir! Sir, I really have nothing to do here, I really just want to avoid the rain, sir! I promise you, I will not avoid the rain even if you kill me! Even if I get soaked to the skin, I will not avoid the rain! Please let me go!"

Huang Tao looked terrified as he was dragged by two guards and pressed toward the middle of the chair.

"Sir, help me, I'm really taking shelter from the rain!" Huang Tao looked extremely frightened and looked at Cao Youguang. (End of this chapter)
