The secret war is silent

"Is this Clifford still in Jiangcheng?"

"I don't know about this yet. It's just one day and that's all I can find out." Liu Jinbao spread his hands and said that he was not a superman and could not finish so many things in one day.

"Continue tomorrow and find out about Clifford's situation. The more detailed the better." Luo Yao ordered.

"Okay."

"Yan Ming, how is your investigation of Jichuan's social relations?"

Yan Ming hesitated and said, "I haven't made much progress here. Oikawa's pseudonym is 'Liu Ming', and he bought this bookstore at about the same time as Yoshida. Because he can import some foreign language periodicals, his business and reputation are good in the circle." Not bad, no one would have thought that Liu Ming is actually Japanese or a Japanese spy. Now this bookstore has been closed and no one dares to take over..."

"Oh, hasn't the bookstore taken over yet?"

"No, the landlord is very anxious, but he doesn't dare to dispose of the books in that room casually. Also, the previous boss was a Japanese spy, and everyone is afraid of getting into trouble, so the bookstore is always closed now." Yan Ming said.

"Yan Ming, go find this landlord, take over this bookstore, change the name, and continue to operate it." Luo Yao thought for a moment and said.

"I own a bookstore, boss, but I don't understand this?" Yan Ming said in surprise.

"We need to prepare to stay in Jiangcheng for a long time. We will not leave after finishing this case." Luo Yao explained, "So, it is very necessary to arrange a few cover points or contact points for us. Moreover, you also You need a normal identity to move around in Jiangcheng.

"What about me?" Liu Jinbao asked.

"Old Liu, you used to work in the Secret Service Brigade of Xiakou Police Headquarters. I want you to return to the Secret Service Brigade." Luo Yao thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, if the mission requires it, I can go back, so that I can use this identity to help you." Liu Jinbao understood that now they were alone and needed help.

"But how do I go back?"

"This is easy to handle. I will make arrangements to ensure that you won't be suspected at all when you go back. Maybe you can get a promotion." Luo Yao said with a smile.

"That's good." Liu Jinbao grinned. It was naturally different to work in a familiar place.

"Mao'er, you follow Yan Ming. His bookstore needs a boy. After you two take over the bookstore, it will have a formal identity and a place to stay." Luo Yao pointed at Xiao Dongbei and said.

"yes."

"By the way, boss, this Katayama Xiaomi likes drinking coffee. He often goes to a coffee shop called Dusk." Liu Jinbao suddenly remembered something and said.

"What?" Not only Luo Yao was shocked, but Gong Hui also looked surprised.

"I heard it from someone, but I don't know the details. I heard that Twilight Coffee House is very famous in the French Concession, and many people like to drink coffee there." Liu Jinbao continued.

It’s Twilight Cafe again!

Yoshida Shoushan made an appointment with "Lin Miao" at the Twilight Cafe.

The waiter who greeted Yoshida had an unusual conversation?

The wrapping paper for Twilight Cafe dessert found at Oikawa's Shoto Bookstore...

Now, there is another Katayama Xiaomi, and he seems to have an unusual relationship with Twilight Cafe.

Could all of this be a coincidence?

It's not that Luo Yao doesn't believe in coincidences, but there are too few coincidences in the world. He studies mathematics and knows that the probability is too low. If one or two things coincide, it can be justified, but so many coincidences add up.

That's not a coincidence, there must be an internal connection.

Luo Yao decided in his heart that he and Gong Hui would go to the Twilight Cafe again tomorrow. There seemed to be too many mysteries waiting for him to solve in this place.

…

"Why are you targeting this Clifford?" Tang Xin was very surprised when he heard the word "Clever" mentioned in Luo Yao's mouth.

"Why, are you also doubting this person?"

"This person is quite famous in Jiangcheng. He is an insurance broker on the surface. He comes and goes either by car or by hailing a taxi. All the people he visits are officials and businessmen from Jiangcheng. However, this person has another identity behind his back. That is the intelligence broker." Tang Xin introduced.

"Intelligence broker, isn't this just the person we are looking for?" Luo Yao was not surprised. Clifford was definitely not just an insurance broker.

"This guy is a British man with consular jurisdiction. Even if we know what he does, we don't dare to touch him easily without conclusive evidence."

"Then grab his evidence!" Luo Yao said.

"Okay, what are you going to do?" Tang Xin thought for a moment and agreed with Luo Yao's approach. As long as he can catch evidence that Clifford is a spy, he can be coerced into doing something for me.

"Since this guy is a lone traveler, the source of the information should be the people he interacts with or what he has seen or investigated with his own eyes. But how does he pass on the information or trade with the people who need the information?" Luo Yao analyzed, " You just said that he is British. Even if he has consular jurisdiction, some crimes are not involved, right? By the way, when such a person mails letters abroad, he will generally not be inspected, right? "

"Yes, once discovered, it will cause diplomatic disputes." Tang Xin said, "Unless evidence of spy suspicion is found in the letter."

"Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. At this time, do you still care about this?" Luo Yaodao said, I am about to perish, so why do you care about the so-called extra-legal jurisdiction of foreigners?

Tang Xin nodded: "I will send someone to follow him 24 hours a day. If there is any situation, I will notify you immediately."

"good."

…

"Boss Mu, we are here again."

"Mr. Qin, Miss Hui, welcome to you." Lao Mu greeted them warmly, took them to their old seats and sat down.

"As long as Boss Mu doesn't bother us, we can come every day."

"It's not annoying, it's not annoying, we are open for business, there is no reason to dislike our customers." Lao Mu had a smile on his face, "You two are still the same today?"

"Yeah, as usual."

"Boss Mu, I won't have dessert today. I have a dinner party to attend soon." Gong Hui added.

"Okay." Lao Mu agreed, turned around and ordered the barista to make coffee.

About ten minutes passed.

Lao Mu came over personally carrying coffee.

"Every time I come, Boss Mu serves him personally. Qin is really flattered." Luo Yao stood up, reached out and took his coffee and said.

"Boss Mu, we, as long as we meet the guests, we will personally entertain them." The waiter holding the fruit plate explained at the side.

Luo Yao chuckled: "So that's it."

"Don't listen to him. As for me, I like chatting with guests. If I meet someone I can chat with, I will naturally be willing to chat more." Lao Mu nodded slightly and said, "You two, please take care of yourself. I'll go and get busy first. "

"Please." Luo Yao also nodded slightly.

"This Boss Mu is really interesting." Gong Hui added a sugar cube and gently stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon while whispering to Luo Yao, clearly meaning something.

"In a moment, find an excuse to go to the bathroom and feel the layout inside." Luo Yao lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, and ordered.

"Ok. What about you?"

"I want to hear what they have to say." Luo Yao explained.

…

"Boss, why are you so concerned about that guy named Qin?" the barista asked Lao Mu in a low voice.

"The seat he is sitting in is not suitable for two men and women who are in love or have an intimate relationship." Lao Mu said softly.

The barista took a moment to glance over and asked, "Why?"

"Have you not noticed? That location is closer to the door. You can see the movement on the street outside through the window. If something happens, you can leave through the door immediately. Even though they are leisurely drinking coffee there, in fact, , they are ready to leave at any time." Lao Mu explained.

"Boss, how do you know this?"

"Haha, you will know if you observe more. These two people are armed with guns, so naturally they cannot be offended." Lao Mu said with a smile.

The barista said "Ah" and almost spilled the hot coffee in the coffee pot on his hand, which made him break into a cold sweat.

Hearing this, Luo Yao hurriedly picked up the coffee and took a sip to cover up his inner embarrassment at being "seen through" at this moment. This Lao Mu is indeed very human. His eyesight and analysis and judgment are all in vain if he is not an agent.

Lao Mu didn't speak loudly, and his location was still some distance away from the console. Most people couldn't hear them from this distance. It was certain that Lao Mu didn't mean these words to him.

"Qin Ming, let me go to the bathroom." Gong Hui saw Luo Yao's expression was different and thought it was a hint for her to go to the bathroom, so she stood up and said.

Luo Yao nodded: "Go."

…

"Boss, Dachuan is back..." Luo Yao was about to take his mind off Lao Mu. Suddenly, a man ran over from the kitchen, came to Lao Mu, and spoke close to his ear.

"What, who asked him to come back?" Lao Mu immediately said in an unhappy tone.

"I don't know. He wants to see you right away."

"Let him wait first, and we'll talk at night." Lao Mu's tone was quite cold, completely different from the warm voice that Luo Yao heard just now.

There is really something wrong with this Lao Mu!

"Who entered the bathroom just now?"

"It's Miss Hui."

"Is it her?" Lao Mu frowned slightly, but did not continue to speak. He waved his hand and told his men to continue their work.

Gong Hui came out and passed Lao Mu head-on.

"Old Mu has a problem." Gong Hui came back, sat down, and the first thing she said to Luo Yao was lowering her voice.

Luo Yao nodded: "I know that a man named Dachuan is back and wants to see him. This man may also be the person we are looking for."

"That waiter?" Gong Hui said, Luo Yao told her

"Um."
