Chapter 653: The Yangtze River Saury (2)
"What if these fish grew up eating Japanese feces?" Fang Buwei smiled evilly.
Ye Xing retorted in a low voice, "You didn't look at the back kitchen of Baoyue Tower, this thing has a big tank, why don't the Japanese dislike it?" ”
Hey, have you learned to talk back?
Fang Buwei just wanted to knock Ye Xingzhong's chopsticks, and his mind suddenly lit up.
Japanese people also eat saury?
Bah!
Fang Buwei really wanted to take a sip of himself.
Japan is an island, and there are many fish, and it is the same nature that Japanese people eat fish and Chinese eat rice.
The rice grain in Baoyuelou was transported from the Xinji Grain Store in Xiaguan, but what about the fish and fresh vegetables?
As far as the side knows, most Japanese spies are cautious, and even the smallest details will be repeatedly scrutinized and guarded against.
For example, Baoyue Lou was originally a restaurant, and it was normal for people to send oil, grain, rice and vegetables in, but the Japanese were afraid of being exposed, so they would rather buy them themselves, and did not hesitate to set up a stronghold in Shimonoseki.
Where did these spies who hid in Baoyue Tower buy the meat and vegetables they usually eat?
It is not practical to set up a base specifically for them, so you can only go to the market.
Also, the fish in the tank of Baoyue Tower are alive, which means that they were not bought from the bazaar.
The saury fish, which are caught in the river and transported to the market, are either dead or half-dead, and they cannot be raised at all when they are bought.
The fish in this tank of Baoyue Tower are either by the river or bought directly on the fishing boat.
And eighty or ninety percent are by the way.
Hearing the sound of "bang", Ye Xingzhong saw Fang Buwei throwing chopsticks and stood up violently.
Ye Xingzhong shook his head and subconsciously dodged back.
He still thought that Fang was not going to beat him?
Why is your temper so big all of a sudden?
Get along privately on weekdays.,It's often jokes than this?
Fang Buwei ignored Ye Xingzhong, rushed directly to the desk, and picked up the map.
It must have been Fang Buwei who suddenly thought of something.
Ye Xingzhong thought secretly.
Fang Buwei wanted to draw a line, only to find that the pen was taken to the sofa by him.
"Give me the pencil!" Fang Buwei shouted.
"Oh!" Ye Xingzhong answered and sent the pencil over.
Fang Buwei took the pencil and patted Ye Xingzhong's shoulder vigorously.
"Well, if you don't remind me, I can't think of this at all!"
Ye Xingzhong didn't know why, so he could only laugh dryly.
Fang Buwei really didn't mean to compliment Ye Xingzhong.
Even the wise can make mistakes.
Fang Buwei entered the Baoyue Building, and indeed saw a tank standing at the door of the back kitchen, with live fish in it.
But Baoyue Building is a restaurant, isn't it normal to have fish in the kitchen?
Maybe it was fished from the lake at the back door of the kitchen and set aside.
In addition, Fang Fang is not a northerner in his previous life, he has seen a lot of grass carp, carp, crucian carp, and how have he seen any Yangtze River saury?
Although I knew a little about this life, I didn't have a deep impression, and I didn't think about whether it was a saury or a fish in the tank at that time.
was negligent for a moment, and almost missed this important clue.
There are occasional swordfish in the Qinhuai River, but most of them are almost caught by the residents on both sides of the river, and there are very few, and the fisherman will not bother to catch fish in the Qinhuai River at all.
The Japanese couldn't have bought such a large vat from the residents along the riverbank one by one, right?
Coupled with this, Fang Buwei was basically able to determine that the steamer left Mochou Lake, and then went down the river directly.
And it is impossible to drive a boat down the river to buy saury, only to buy it by the way.
On the one hand, dumping fecal water, could it be that the location of the vault is on both sides of the river, and the steamer will have to deliver food?
He had repeatedly calculated before, guessing that the Japanese would definitely think that when the currency reform was implemented, the Nationalist Government would play hooligans.
When the Nationalist Government announced the announcement of the currency reform, it would definitely be afraid that a large amount of gold would be smuggled out of the city, and it would definitely impose martial law on all aspects of the matter, and strictly inspect the goods entering and leaving.
The government of the Republic of China is also more afraid that once the announcement is made, it will cause panic among the people, and it may find that the people do not exchange fiat currency, but use gold and silver to run on British pound bonds.
The government of the Republic of China is afraid that it will not be able to redeem it in time, so before the public currency reform, will it be a disguised inventory and commission, and even temporarily seize the bulk of gold and silver, or directly convert it into legal tender?
The Israeli side does not understand the national government, this is not possible, but absolute.
Although either one is a very rogue behavior.
If the Japanese gold is hidden in the city, there may be a martial law investigation like this one, such as a three-foot search on the ground, can the Japanese hide it?
If it is hidden outside the castle, if the timing is not right, the Japanese may not be able to transport their gold into the castle, or if they enter the castle, it will be discovered.
Either hypothesis holds, the plan to block fiat currency reform will have to be aborted. None of the Japanese want to see it.
Therefore, Fang Buwei is very sure that the place where the Japanese hide gold and silver is not in the city, and it is definitely in a place where the transportation is convenient and you can enter the city in time.
This is also evidenced by the fact that half of the vaults were built inside the Lion Rock bomb shelter.
After finding the Baoyue Tower and finding the fire wheel, Fang Buwei guessed that the biggest role of the fire wheel was to deliver food to the Japanese guarding the vault.
This is tantamount to a further narrowing of the scope, and the vault is either on the Qinhuai River or along the Yangtze River.
But since ancient times, the Qinhuai River has been the moat of Nanjing, not to mention that it is long enough, and there are many forks.
Half was in the city, and the other half was around most of the outer city walls.
When you go ashore is the city gate.
Therefore, Fang Buwei shifted his focus and began to investigate Wai Guo Cheng.
But if the Qinhuai River can be excluded according to the tank of Yangtze River saury in the Baoyue Tower, and Xinku is along the Yangtze River, the approximate range will be reduced by more than ten times.
Because the farther south, the farther the river bank is from the city gate, even if it is the nearest Jiajiang River to Mochou Lake, it is more than twenty miles away from the city gate.
And there are at least three checkpoints to go through along the way.
There is a wharf along the river, an outer city gate, and an inner city gate.
If any link is not done well, or if something goes wrong, the Japanese plan can only go bankrupt.
Rather than this, it is better to buy a restaurant in Mochou Lake and secretly rebuild the vault underground, whether it is a boat or a car, it will only pass through the inner city wall.
The Japanese will not do this too much, let alone go far.
Based on the principle of bold assumptions, Fang Buwei believes that the approximate extent of the vault is on the riverbank north of Caochangmen and south of Waijinchuanmen.
The entire Shimonoseki is in this area.
Not only is there no outer city wall in this section, but there are also checkpoints on the river at the north and south ends, and taxes have been collected, and there are no cards at the wharf.
If you want to enter the city, you only need to go through the inner city gate or the water gate.
A little bolder, coupled with the factors of secrecy, safety, and less crowding around, the Xiaguan area south of Lion Rock can also be ruled out.
