The main means of transportation from Shanghai to Nanjing is train. There are three trains arriving in Nanjing every day, one from Shanghai to Peiping, one from Tianjin, and one express train between Shanghai and Nanjing.
The first two trains are passing trains, while the last train is a direct train, and the end point is Nanjing.
There are two stations in Nanjing, one is Xiaguan Station and the other is Pukou Station. Generally speaking, passengers coming from the south will get off at Xiaguan, while passengers coming from the north will get off at Pukou.
In order to capture Turtle Dove, Wen Xuesong could be said to have taken great pains and made very careful arrangements.
First of all, a strict blockade was carried out at Xiaguan Station, and all passengers who got off the train were strictly inspected, with a focus on young and middle-aged male passengers. In accordance with the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go"[], all young people traveling alone,
Strong men, no matter who they are, will be temporarily detained until their identity is confirmed. Otherwise, they can only be released after the negotiations between China and the United States are concluded.
At the same time, Zhao Zihuan, the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, was called to send officers to board three trains to secretly inspect suspicious persons.
Secondly, the police were mobilized to set up checkpoints at all intersections and piers entering and exiting Nanjing. People were also arranged at hotels and inns. The focus of inspections was also on young and strong men traveling alone.
This arrangement can be said to be very meticulous. As long as the turtle dove comes to Nanjing, it will definitely be targeted.
It can be said that the dragnet has been set, just waiting for the turtle dove to pounce.

Ikaruga's real name is Baba Koji, he is the deputy section chief of the Special High-tech Section of the Shadow Agency, and his military rank is Major.
At eight o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of the lunar month, Koji Baba and two of his men boarded the express train from Shanghai to Nanjing. If nothing goes wrong, the train will arrive at Nanjing Xiaguan Station at around 2:30 in the afternoon.
His trip had two purposes: one was to preside over the plan to assassinate Polot and destroy the cooperative relationship between China and the United States; the other was to investigate the reasons for the annihilation of the "Skylark Group".
Yesterday was the fixed time for contact with the "Skybark Team". The radio station in Shanghai never contacted Yamaguchi Minya, so Hio Kageza knew something was wrong.
Two groups had accidents one after another, which made Hito Kagesa very angry. Taking advantage of Koji Baba's personal role in presiding over the operation to assassinate Polot, he ordered him to find out the cause of the accidents of the two groups and carry out revenge.
The two men he led were one named Oo Yashi, whose pseudonym was Shi Zhi, and the other was named Kishida Daisuke, whose pseudonym was Tao Hu.
Tao Hu is responsible for protecting the personal safety of Baba Koji, while Shi Zhi is an excellent sniper. In a long wooden box he carries with him, there is a dismantled sniper rifle hidden.
…
Baba Koji's pseudonym is Ma Hao, and his identity is the manager of Shanghai Hengtong Trading Company, while Oao Yashi and Kishida Daisuke pretend to be his followers.
The three of them bought second-class tickets. Although the fare was a bit more expensive, it was in line with Koji's status as the manager of the racecourse, and there were few people in the carriage and it was very quiet.
Baba Koji and Kishida Daisuke sat across from each other, and Oao Yaji's seat was in the row behind them.
After getting on the bus, Daisuke Kishida put the luggage on the upper shelf, and Yaji Oho put the wooden box under the seat. Koji Baba, who was in a suit and leather shoes, took off his top hat, held it in his hand, and looked around.
The person sitting next to them on the right was a young woman dressed in elegant clothes. The young woman also brought a little girl about four or five years old. The little girl jumped up and down and ran around as soon as she got in the car. The young woman followed her and looked after her.
Opposite the young woman sat a middle-aged man in a robe and glasses, holding a "Declaration" in his hand and looking at it.
The guests before and after us all brought their families with them and had a lot of luggage, so there was nothing unusual about it.
Baba Koji felt relieved, put his bowler hat on his face, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The train started moving and the speed gradually increased. The little girl saw the scenery outside the window and stepped back, shouting excitedly: "Mom, mom, look, the tree has fallen, the tree has fallen!"
"Hahaha..." Hearing the child say this, the carriage was filled with kind laughter.
Baba Koji put down his hat and looked at the little girl. He was also amused by the child's innocence and imagination.
Only the man opposite the young woman frowned slightly, seeming very impatient.
At this moment, Baba Koji noticed two strange men entering the carriage. The two men walked through the aisle with empty hands and glanced left and right. When they saw Baba Koji and the three of them, they seemed to pause for an extra moment.
, and then walked forward.
Baba Koji captured that moment of pause very keenly. He was shocked and thought to himself: "These two people have no luggage in their hands. They seem to be looking for someone. Why did they pause here among the three of us? What caused them to
Attention? Have we exposed our identities?"
Thinking of this, Baba Koji pouted at their backs and whispered to Daisuke Kishida: "Go and see what's going on?"
Daisuke Kishida nodded, stood up and followed.
After a while, Kishida Daisuke came back and whispered: "Something's wrong. Those two people walked around in all the carriages, and then there were people staring at the doors of all the carriages, looking at the direction they were pointing.
A young and strong man, and just now I saw someone pointing in our direction."
"Ah?! So, the Chinese already know about us?" Baba Koji was shocked.
He didn't believe in coincidences. He believed that the three of them must have been targeted, and the news that he was going to Nanjing must have been leaked.
However, it seems that the Chinese are not sure that the three of them are the targets they are looking for. They are just casting a net everywhere.
"How many are there in total?" Baba Koji asked.
"Thirteen." Daisuke Kishida said.
"Oh." Baba Koji heard this and began to think: "I am 100% sure that the whereabouts of the three of us have been exposed. Where is the trouble? Is it Shanghai or Nanjing? No one in Shanghai knows except the director of the Kagetsu Agency.
Our whereabouts, then there must be something wrong with Nanjing."
"If it is the Nanjing side, is it the 'Skylark Group' or the 'Crane Group' that leaked it? This matter must be clarified. If it is the 'Crane Group' that has been exposed, then quickly find a way to escape, and there is no point in going to Nanjing."
Okay. If it is the problem of the 'Skylark Group', then it is better. After all, the 'Skylark Group' knows very little information about the assassination operation. Even if the Chinese agents know about this operation, it will not affect the safety of the 'Crane Group'. Then I will go to Nanjing.
It still makes sense.”
Thinking of this, Baba Koji said to Daisuke Kishida: "Depending on the situation, we are still safe for the time being. Don't sit here. We will arrive in Suzhou soon. Go and see if the people they are watching are under Suzhou."
Is it from a car? If so, see if anyone is following you?"
"Yes." Daisuke Kishida agreed softly, stood up, and walked slowly to the car behind.
