The two of them don't have many opinions on this. It doesn't matter who handles the matter. The final decision-making power rests in their hands.
As for other people, like those involved in silver smuggling, they are eager to get rid of it immediately. Having money is a reminder to them to participate in large-scale smuggling.
As for sensitive people like the two people from Guangdong and Guangxi, Boss Dai went to Nanchang to report in person last time and sent a telegram to ask for instructions. He got a reply soon and checked to the end.
Of course, these sensitive people are only part of the list. In other cases, we have also asked for instructions, but the opinions and attitudes of those two are attached.
It has to be said that Chiang Kai-shek was really caring and decisive when it came to the An Nei matter. As long as this issue was involved, he did not say a word of nonsense or unnecessary explanation.
The telegram report was very detailed and long. As for the issue of communication confidentiality? The last time I went to ask for instructions, Boss Dai also brought a communication team that was selected after repeated reviews. They used independent encryption codes and replaced them with new ones after several uses.
Used for secret communications with the other side.
As the development of interception and deciphering becomes stronger, the Intelligence Department is also rapidly iterating and updating the means of confidential communication, and the work of communication confidentiality is becoming more and more mature.
The message took nearly half an hour to be sent, and anyone with the ability to intercept it would naturally have heard it, but even if they could translate it, it would not be a matter of time.
However, although the enemy did not know the content, it still aroused their vigilance. Fortunately, Boss Dai performed some dramas in the Executive Yuan, temporarily attracting the attention of all parties.
In the work of closing the network, these people are definitely not enough to handle the case alone. People from the second team and the first team gradually put down their work and prepared. The second team had no choice and rushed to various places to handle the case.
The special operations team at the training ground has also temporarily adjusted its training work, allowing trainees to study courses first, and then the entire team will return to the training site to conduct training at the simulation site.
Naturally, there are more than these involved. Other people in the department, including Boss Dai, have also postponed their scheduled work arrangements and asked people to be on duty as much as possible. However, they have not given orders and it is unknown whether they will.
What they will be responsible for is mainly peripheral assistance work. There is no need to know everything about the situation, and delaying it will be risky. At this time, no more rumors can be leaked.
"How far is the investigation now?" Time passed slowly. This morning, Lin Mo walked into Xiao Rui's temporary office and listened to his report.
Xiao Rui briefly elaborated on the progress of the past few days and concluded: "Team Lin, according to our judgment, the first target should be just a small person in charge of this espionage team.
The work he is responsible for should be field operations and external contacts. The purpose of the contact should be to build an intelligence delivery channel. Some of the carrier pigeons that receive and deliver messages are also suspected to be under his command.
However, the frequency of the target's activities is very low, and he should only appear during the first contact. The fish vendor at the fish stall is his contact person and is responsible for passing on messages.
Further down, except for the two scattered carrier pigeons who are responsible for delivering intelligence in the middle, of course, there may be more people playing this role, but they are not active and we have not discovered them.
Another group of his subordinates is a three-person team in a wholesale shop. Their role should be field operations. In addition, it is not ruled out that there are similar teams that will cooperate and assist when contacting and receiving intelligence.
The information received will be delivered in the form of letters to a spy lurking inside the book company, who will then forward it to a small match factory.
The book and periodical company has investigated and found that there is no problem. It is a small company with a very mixed business. It not only helps people compile and publish telephone directories, but also publishes several small magazines.
The magazine mainly publishes some short stories, with miscellaneous stories about gods and ghosts, eye-catching stories, and romantic stories. Although they are not very elegant, their sales volume is acceptable.
We usually post letters, and there are many letters from readers. Like Target, there are also many cases where they are delivered directly to the company's mailbox.
I estimate that the book and periodical company was specially selected by the target. It has a lot of letters, but the size of the company is not noticeable, and the business situation is good. It will not go bankrupt easily, so that they can provide it for long-term activities.
As for the match factory, it is a very small factory that does not attract much attention. There are only a few machines in the factory such as mixers and cutting machines.
After the information was delivered here, there was no sign of it being passed on again. Either there was a radio station hidden inside for transmission, or the information was sent back with the cover of the match business.
The reason for the latter suspicion is that although this factory is small, its business is very broad. It mainly produces high-end customized matches for high-end entertainment venues and the like.
The business is not limited to Nanjing. Due to the high quality of the goods, many places in big cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai place orders here. Therefore, there is reason to suspect that they are taking this opportunity to deliver information back to others.
There are more than a dozen employees, and they should all belong to them. Given its size, and considering that they are responsible for delivering intelligence to others, that place should be its core part, so there is reason to suspect that the factory may also be its command location."
After listening to this, Lin Mo tapped the table and asked: "Have you investigated the spies in these places and the times when they appeared?"
Xiao Rui was stunned, thought of something, nodded and replied: "I checked it, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. Let me think about it! This... target and the vendor... settled not long ago, a few years ago.
The wholesale business has been in operation for a similar period of time. The two people who passed on the information found only traces of their activities in the past two years. The person from the books and periodicals company had been working for a few years, but the target was separated by about a year.
As for the match factory, the person joined the company at the same time as the book company. Team Lin, the espionage team responsible for delivering intelligence, was only recently integrated. Previously, it was affiliated with other different espionage teams?"
Lin Mo nodded, integrating these people, the earliest thing that should be done is to use the telecommunications strength of the Intelligence Department to pose a threat to Japanese espionage communications. They did not have this need before. This can also be seen from Xiao Rui's earlier surveillance of the target.
evidence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "...What a pity..." Xiao Rui shook his head and said with some regret: "If we had time, we could dig out other people from different organizations before the integration.
The harvest can be expanded further.
Moreover, they are currently in contact with different espionage groups. If they continue to keep an eye on them, they don’t know if any espionage groups can lead them out, and then the harvest will be huge."
"...Don't have unrealistic illusions..." Lin Mo struck a blow and said: "Based on the situation we have, there should be only two groups of people integrated together, and they are relatively independent. Even if they can be pulled out,
Can't pull out much.
This group is the one you have been keeping an eye on. From their involvement in the hidden books, it can be seen that their previous role should be equivalent to that of firefighters. Whenever there is a problem, they are temporarily transferred to perform corresponding tasks.
However, its level is relatively high, and only some major matters will be handled by it. This role is destined to be unsuitable for participating in other intelligence work, so these people you find now are most of the old departments before the integration.
It's the same at the match factory. If you go by what you said, so many spies working together are most likely a group of field operators. They also won't have too much contact with intelligence work. Those people should be the majority of the original organization.
As for the newly contacted Japanese espionage team, given the current general state of Japanese espionage, they will definitely be highly vigilant and prepared for the current contact. It is not that easy to track down. Moreover, given the current state of the target, every tracking is equivalent to
Walking and dancing on the tightrope no longer qualifies for long-term surveillance."
After Xiao Rui heard this, he smiled and touched the back of his head. He really hadn't thought about this clearly, but it was indeed as Lin Mo judged. Like the person who came into contact with the target in the teahouse last time, their investigation was not going smoothly.
"Back to business, have those in the factory found any traces of their more frequent suspicious activities in recent times? Especially after the intelligence was passed on."
Xiao Rui recalled it for a moment, shook his head in denial, and replied: "There seems to be no suspicious signs, they are all working normally, and none of the employees have asked for leave. I think the problem should be within the factory, either with a radio station, or...
"
Lin Mo raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Rui from continuing. He frowned and thought carefully.
Shouldn't it? If they use radios for communication, according to the telecommunications room, they should frequently change the location of the radio, otherwise they would have been locked.
And if the location of the radio station is changed frequently, there must be a lot of movements. Xiao Rui will not be unaware of it. Is it possible that their method of delivering information is really returned to the person who delivered it?
After thinking about it again, Lin Mo said: "You can still dig a little bit here, so just postpone the action to provoke them to move. The boss and Team Zheng will bring people to support, so you can make a plan.
The start time for my side will be set at noon. One afternoon should be enough for them to take action. Remember to contact the telecommunications room. Section Chief Xu has communicated properly.
After I take action, the telecommunications room will search for all suspicious radio signals in Nanjing and locate them. You need to take different response measures depending on whether you have located the factory.
If they are located, they will be tracked and monitored normally. If there is an abnormality, they will be arrested immediately. If they are not located, the focus will be on the people who come to contact them.
The person coming may not necessarily be from the city, but may also come from surrounding areas. Remember to be patient, follow him as much as possible, find out where he is going, and then decide whether to take action depending on the situation.
Of course, it may not be retrieved and located due to the length of the communication, or there are other circumstances, so you need to adapt accordingly according to the situation."
"Captain Lin, won't you come with support?" Xiao Rui said with some anxiety after hearing this.
Lin Mo shook his head and explained: "I can't come over at the moment. Team Zheng, the boss and others who came to support me have limited understanding of the case. You need to be more careful about this relatively detailed issue."
Xiao Rui nodded. At this point, he had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Lin Mo did not leave, but helped him sort out and formulate a more comprehensive plan.
