Chapter 0358 - Lock on to the target
Lin Jiangbei nodded and replied to Colonel Price: "According to the information I have verified here, the only one that can provide gold hair dyeing services in Shanghai is the Limei Barber on Nanjing West Road. According to the news from the Limei Barbershop, in the past month, only one customer has dyed his blonde hair to the Limei Barber a few days ago. ”
"A guest?" Colonel Price's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked Lin Jiangbei, "What is the name of this guest and what is he doing?" ”
"The guest's name is Clyde Mock, and he is a maintenance worker at the British Consulate General in Shanghai." Lin Jiangbei replied.
Clyde Mock? Maintenance workers at the British Consulate General in Shanghai?
Colonel Price frowned and recalled seriously for a long time, but he did not find a trace of this maintenance worker of the British Consulate General in Shanghai named Clyde Mok in his memory, nor could he figure out what connection this maintenance worker of the British Consulate General in Shanghai would have with his Fourth Expeditionary Force Command.
After a moment of silence, Colonel Price called the guard outside the door in, and told him to immediately go and call his chief assistant, Sergeant Batmore.
Then Colonel Price explained to Lin Jiangbei: "As my chief assistant, Batmo is in charge of all the miscellaneous affairs of the Fourth Expeditionary Force Headquarters, if this Clyde Mok has come to the Fourth Expeditionary Force Headquarters to help repair any equipment, Batmo will definitely remember!" ”
A few minutes later, Batmo arrived at Colonel Price's commanding office.
"Commander Butmo," Colonel Price asked, without giving him any information, "do you have any impression that there is a maintenance man named Clyde Mock at the British Consulate General in Shanghai?" ”
"Clyde Mok?" Batmo pondered for a moment, then looked up and replied, "Colonel Price, I do have some impression of this man. A year and a half ago, the typewriter at our headquarters broke down. At that time, the maintenance engineer of Andaxiande's Shanghai office happened to be returning to China, so he recommended a maintenance man from the British Consulate General in Shanghai named Clyde Mock to come and help us fix the typewriter. ”
And so it was!
Colonel Price met Lin Jiangbei's eyes, and then asked Buttermo, "What about after that?" Has Clydemork ever been to our headquarters again? ”
"Probably not, right?" Batmo looked down again and thought carefully for a while, then looked up and replied, "I check the registration records of the headquarters every day, and I don't remember that Clyde Mok came to our headquarters later!" ”
Colonel Price nodded, an important reason why he chose Batmo as his chief assistant in the first place was because Batmo had an outstanding memory, since he said that he didn't remember that Clydemock had come to the headquarters of the Fourth Expeditionary Force later, then Clydemock should not have been here.
However, since Clydemok had been to the Fourth Expeditionary Force once a year and a half ago, it was likely that he had established contact with someone or someone within the headquarters through that time, otherwise there would be no way to explain the leakage of confidential information from the headquarters this time.
Considering the range of personnel within the command who have access to classified information, the scope of suspects is greatly narrowed.
Thinking of this, Colonel Price immediately had a name in his mind, and that was Catherine Jenny, a female typist at the headquarters of the Fourth Expeditionary Force.
Catherine, as a typist at the command of the Fourth Expeditionary Force, had been serving in Shanghai two years earlier.
Not only did she have access to classified information from the Fourth Expeditionary Force Command, but more importantly, she was the member of the Clydemock who had the most contact when she came to the Fourth Expeditionary Force Command a year and a half ago to repair the typewriters.
If Clydemock was able to establish close contact with anyone during that repair, it was clearly Catherine who was the most likely.
"Commander Batmo," Colonel Price asked, "Catherine's suspicion was ruled out during the examination of the personnel inside the Command, right?" ”
Listening to Colonel Price asking about Clydemock's situation earlier, and then asking about Catherine the typist, how could Batmore not understand that Colonel Price suspected that the confidential information was leaked by Catherine?
He replied loudly: "Colonel Price, according to the investigation, Catherine has been staying in the camp for the past few days, and several personnel who have been in contact with her have not left the camp, so the suspicion that she leaked information has been ruled out." ”
Colonel Price nodded again.
If Catherine had not left the camp in the past few days, and several of her contacts had not left the camp, the suspicion would indeed have been ruled out.
Because according to the judgment of the investigation committee of the headquarters, there will be no more than two people in the headquarters who have been dragged into the water by the Japanese side to act as moles.
This is not only due to the blind confidence of the loyalty of the American military, but also to the peculiarities of the espionage work itself.
You know, the more spies in the same organization is not the better, this not only represents an increase in the cost of funds, but more importantly, it also means an increase in the possibility of leaks, the more members, the easier it is to be exposed.
Therefore, if Catherine is developed into a mole, then at most one more member will be developed as a traffic officer to transmit information, and it is impossible to develop one member as a setter and another member as a traffic officer.
Now that Catherine has not left the camp for the past few days, and her limited contact subjects have not left the camp, and Batmo has been ruled out of the scope of suspects, logically speaking, there is no problem.
But now that "Mr. Ren" has found out that Clydemock is the suspect who killed Leonovsky, Catherine, who had close contact with Clydemock, will naturally be included in the investigation again.
However, Colonel Price did not rush to give the order, but changed his mouth and asked, "In addition to Catherine, who else remained at the headquarters when they came into contact with Clydemock?" ”
Batmo thought for a moment and said, "In addition to Catherine, the only ones who remain in the headquarters are Sergeant Ronald, the driver, and Sergeant Trudeau, the maintenance technician. ”
"Did Ronald and Trudeau have contact with Catherine during the time period when the intelligence was leaked?" Colonel Price asked.
"Neither of them had contact with Catherine." Batmo replied.
Neither Ronald nor Trudeau had access to classified documents, neither of them had contact with Catherine, so it seems that Catherine is still the most suspect.
Colonel Price made up his mind and ordered Batmo: "You call Catherine at once, saying that there is an urgent document that she needs to print. ”
Then he turned to Lin Jiangbei and pleaded: "Mr. Ren, Catherine, a typist in our headquarters, has a major suspicion, I hope you can assist us in participating in the second screening of Catherine!" ”
