Chapter Twenty-Seven: Finding Another Path

Kobayashi Masayasu, 26 years old, is the leader of a Japanese spy group sent to Nanjing by the secretary of the Shanghai Shadow Zuo Agency, under the pseudonym Gao Xutai, and his public identity is an arithmetic teacher at Yixianqiao Primary School.

The main task of his group was to plot against the generals of the Nanjing garrison and collect military intelligence.

Half a month ago, an agent codenamed "Qiankong" reported that he had rebelled against a combat staff officer in the Jiangyin Fortress. Yi Mingjie told "Qiankong" that as long as he was given 200,000 fiat currency, he could get a map of the Jiangyin fortress from others, and could provide all the numbers, weapons and equipment of the Nanjing garrison.

This news made Kobayashi Masayasu overjoyed, and immediately telegraphed the news to Shanghai and asked for 200,000 legal currency funds, and the head of the Shadow Zo Agency, Hitoo Kagesa, immediately made a decision and ordered an agent to bring 200,000 legal dollars to Nanjing.

Because 200,000 fiat currency is not a small amount, and a carrying target is too big. So, instead of taking the train, the agent chose to come by car.

As a result, on the way, I encountered the 36th Division set up a card check.

The Japanese agents could not escape, so they had to lie that they were businessmen and that they were carrying a large amount of fiat currency in order to buy a batch of cotton cloth from Nanjing.

The soldiers found 200,000 legal currency in the trunk of the car, and hurriedly reported it to the chief of staff of the division, Xiang Juxian, who immediately became greedy for ink as soon as he heard the identity of the person. I made up a reason and withheld the money.

The agent did not do anything, made a lot of noise, and clamored to go to court-martial, but was beaten half to death by the soldiers and driven back to Shanghai.

After Hitoo Kagesa got the news, he couldn't scrape together this huge amount of money for a while, and secondly, considering that the safety along the way could not be guaranteed, he telegraphed Kobayashi Masayasu to find a way to raise funds on the spot to ensure that he got that critical military information.

Helplessly, Kobayashi Zhengtai used Yuan Zuocai's shadow, and there was also a "200,000 fiat currency fraud case".

This case was in a uproar, and Kobayashi Zhengtai soon knew about it, of course, he understood it as soon as possible, and this must be Yuan Zuocai's handiwork.

Immediately, the police cordoned off the station, the pier, and all major traffic intersections, and closely checked the pedestrians.

Kobayashi Zhengtai didn't dare to go to the paper alley to check the movement at the first time, and wanted to wait for the wind to pass.

But what he didn't expect was that the day after the incident, the police's strict investigation ended, and when he inquired, it was the police who caught the fraudster.

Kobayashi Zhengtai was shocked, and immediately asked for leave from the school and went to the vicinity of Paper Lane to observe the situation.

He was not worried about his safety at all, even if Yuan Zuocai couldn't resist in the end and told all the secrets, it would be impossible for the police to find his head.

Because, he knows all about Yuan Zuocai, but Yuan Zuocai doesn't know any of him.

Yuan Zuo was released the next day, and Kobayashi Masayasu did not know what the reason was.

Did Zong Yuwen come forward to protect it, or did the police want to arrest him? Or has Yuan Zuocai already defected? Is that 200,000 fiat still there? He wasn't sure about all this.

Logically speaking, even if the police sentenced Yuan Zuocai, Kobayashi Masayasu dared to say that with Yuan Zuocai's training, it would be impossible for the police to destroy his will without thirty-six hours.

Therefore, he prefers to believe that it is Zong Yuwen who has come forward.

However, it is most important to avoid taking risks in intelligence work, and any sign of danger may eventually lead to a catastrophe. So, he had to figure out why before he could decide how to implement the next step.

For the sake of insurance, Yuan Zuocai was chosen to be followed. He believes that if Yuan Zuocai is still under police surveillance, he will definitely be able to find clues.

Kobayashi Masatasu put on makeup when he went out, made some wrinkles on his face and the corners of his eyes, wore several layers of clothes in his robe, and looked fat, and when he walked, he turned from a young man to a middle-aged uncle.

Early the next morning after Yuan Zuocai was released, Kobayashi Zhengtai followed him from home to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and no one was found following, and he was pleased to find that Yuan Zuocai himself had also made several anti-tracking actions.

This shows that he has not defected, and he is also making sure that he is safe.

Throughout the morning, he observed near the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and did not find anything abnormal, and even he saw Yuan Zuocai greeting his colleagues with a smile on his face, which could be seen that he was in a good mood.

At noon, after Kobayashi Zhengtai followed Yuan Zuocai to his home, he walked south along the paper alley, and when he turned to Trillium Alley, he stopped in front of the dilapidated yard where the dead mailbox was located, and did not find anything abnormal, and he increased his confidence in Yuan Zuocai's safety.

His residence was on Jixiang Street, not far east of Trillium Lane.

As soon as he came out of Trillium Lane, when he turned the corner, Kobayashi Zhengtai noticed that someone was following him a hundred meters behind him.

At a glance, he memorized the man's clothes and walking posture.

After walking for a while, he found that the man was always following behind him unhurriedly, fast and fast, slow and slow, always maintaining a distance of 100 meters.

He understood that this was being targeted.

However, he has a way to shake off this tail, and it will not leave a hidden danger.

A year ago, when he first came to Nanjing, he found a good place to get rid of his tracks, which was a fish restaurant called "Yijiang Xian" on Taiping Street. This fish house has a back door, which guests will find when they go up to the hut, and this back door is unlocked.

After discovering this, Kobayashi Masayasu never went to this fish restaurant to eat again, in order to use it as a way to get out in the future.

Kobayashi Zhengtai took the "tail" and turned into Taiping Street, it was the moment of eating, there were many guests in "Yijiang Xian", Kobayashi Zhengtai entered, passed through the hall, and quickly came out of the back door "Yijiang Xian". ”

Back at home, Kobayashi Zhengtai removed his disguise, settled down and secretly analyzed: "It seems that Yuan Zuocai is still exposed, and the police are not without monitoring, but the monitoring is more secretive." I followed Yuan Zuocai twice in Paper Alley, and I was targeted. The fact that they did not control it in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce shows that the police only secretly monitored the paper lane, and it also shows that they did not find the money in Yuan Zuocai's residence, which further shows that they focused on the money and not Yuan Zuocai. From this, it can be judged that: first, Yuan Zuocai did not reveal his true identity; Second, Yuan Zuocai did not admit that he was a fraudster; Third, the reason why the police followed me was probably that they suspected me of being his accomplice in fraud; Fourth, the police have no key evidence, as long as the money is not taken out as stolen goods, then Yuan Zuocai is safe. ”

"Therefore, I must not go to Paper Lane in the near future, and I can't contact Yuan Zuocai in other ways. As for the funding, I'd better telegraph to the head of the Shadow Agency, and think about other ways. ”
