Fang Buwei pondered for a few seconds, pointed at Ye Xingzhong and said: "Notify all groups, focus on asking during the investigation, half a year to two months ago, in Xiaguan and nearby, which family has touched the soil, even if it is a pigsty, it can't be let go, focus on searching."

After passing the order, there is no need to come back, let me bring someone to check, who has bought the rice and grain from this firm, especially the ...... who regularly purchases from this house for a long time."

"Humble duty understands!" Ye Xingzhong responded.

As soon as Ye Xingzhong left, Bian Congjun hurriedly chased in.

"Sir, there is a porter on the dock, who said he had seen this person......" Bian Congjun ran in with a thin black man, still holding a stack of photos in his hand.

The photo shows the main people arrested in these two operations, including Yamada, Nakamura, and Konoe Masao from the previous time, as well as Taro Komatsubara and the five living mouths this time.

The six people in the back were rushed out by Fang Bu for the overnight requisition of the photo studio in the city.

Bian Congjun took out a photo and handed it to Fang Buwei.

Fang is not for a look, but it is Masao Konoe?

What does Masao Konoe have to do with the Vault?

Fang Buwei waved his hand, and the army pulled the porter over.

"Little one remembers correctly," said the porter, pointing to Masao Konoe's photo, "this is the person who loaded the goods from the Zhongshan wharf......"

"What day, how many times?" Fang Buwei asked in a cold voice.

"I saw that time, it was the fourth day of the new year...... The little one remembers very clearly, it was Qingming that day, and the dock was full of paper-burning ......"

Today is the ninth day of the third month, and the fourth day of the new year is five days ago.

Calculate the time, only nine days have passed since he caught Nakamura and Yamada and deliberately let Konoe Masao go.

Fang Buwei deliberately let Konoe Zhengxiong go, he wanted him to go back to report the news, but he didn't go back to Manchu and stayed in Nanjing?

"What's it in?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"It should be rice grain!" The porter replied.

Rice grain?

Fang Buwei sneered, pointed to the rice buns in the store and asked, "Which one?" ”

The porter is still wondering, there are so many grain stores in Xiaguan, how can this chief be sure that it is this one?

But Fang didn't want him to admit it, where did he dare to shirk, turned around, and looked at the whole rice bun in the store.

"Really?" The porter pointed to a pile of rice bags and said, "Sir, this is the kind of ...... Other families use sacks, but this person asked us to pack them that day, but it was this kind of thin pocket......"

Most of the rice bags are coarse and linen bags, and most of the rice bags that can be packed in thin noodle pockets are polished rice.

Sure enough, it came out from here.

"Where's the shipment?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"I don't know about this!" The porter shook his head.

"Let's talk about it, there are so many goods loaded and unloaded on the dock every day, how can you remember it so clearly, it's this person, it's the fourth day of the new year?"

Fang is not afraid that this betrayer will take credit.

"The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is Qingming, and when the little steamer came, it was already dark, and there were a lot of paper-burning people on the shore...... Seeing that there was nothing left on the dock, the little one was ready to go home, and by the way, he bought some yellow paper and went home to pay tribute to his ancestors...... Just as we were about to call it a day, a small steamer came to the dock, saying that it was going to be loaded, so let's wait......

Fang Buwei stretched out his hand, interrupted the porter's words, and looked at Bian Congjun again.

"The other ones he said have already been ordered to be found, and they will be in ...... soon," Bian Congjun replied.

Someone confronted him, and the porter naturally didn't dare to tell a lie, and the time was right.

"What about this man?" Fang Buwei asked again, "How can you still remember it so clearly?" ”

"There are three people who suck it, so the little one remembers it very clearly, the key is that the boat is too smelly!" The porter replied, "like it was fished out of a dung pit......

Fang Buwei frowned.

"What it was like at the time, tell me clearly!"

The porter thought hard for a while, and then said: "Before the boat docked, I first smelled a smell of feces and urine, and the little ones felt fresh, thinking about when they could pick up dung, and they could afford to drive a steamer?"

The boat docked, and three people came down, all dressed brightly, and said let us load the goods, and the loading was polished rice? The little ones didn't feel like they were picking up dung, so they looked at it a few more times, and there was this one among them......"

"What's the smell?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"It should be the dung bucket that has been poured!" The porter replied, "There are traces of water on the boat, as if it has been washed, but it has not been cleaned......

How can a ship carrying cargo use a dung bucket?

Someone hiding in the bilge?

"Is there anyone else on board?" Fang Buwei asked in a cold voice.

"No, that's all there is to it!" The porter replied.

"What a ship!"

"A small steamer of 5,000 pounds!" The porter replied.

It's a small boat, the one without a bilge.

It seems that the man is not hiding on the ship, this ship is only used to transport grain and dung......

"After that, did these three go anywhere else?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"Nope!" The porter shook his head, "They just stood on the shore and waited, the rice bags were delivered to the shore in advance by board truck, and the delivery person should be the guy and shopkeeper of that family...... The small ones were in a hurry to load, so they didn't pay much attention! ”

Is it just here to transport grain?

Such a trivial matter, why did Masao Konoe make a trip in person?

There are too few clues, and it is difficult to judge if Fang Buwei does not do it, so he can only find the ship and the person first.

"Transfer your people, go to the river to search, and don't let go of the dock by the river......" Fang Buwei said as he pointed to Bian Congjun.

Near the riverside of Nanjing, there are checkpoints at both ends, and before yesterday's operation, the blockade had been ordered.

People can run away, and ships can be scuttled, but as long as they appear, it is impossible for no one to see them.

If you can find out where the ship often docks, it will be possible to find out where Masao Konoe is hiding.

"Yes!" Bian Congjun responded.

"Wait!" Fang Buwei stopped Bian Congjun, and looked at Zheng Shifei again, "Send your people to him as well, mainly to find clues related to this steamship...... You don't have to find out where the ship is, you can find out where the ship is delivering! ”

There is only one group under Bian Congjun's subordinates, more than 100 people, and they have to search separately. Too time-consuming.

"Understood!" Zheng Shifei answered, and followed Bian Congjun out of the firm.

"Either there's no clue, or there's a clue coming together?" Zhao Shirui said in surprise.

"What's so strange?" Fang Buwei replied, "After so much effort, it's strange that you can't find clues!" ”

Fang Buwei is more and more sure that this grain store is not a simple stronghold, and it is likely to be responsible for contacting all the Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing City in the center.

He only thought that the grain store was only related to the treasury, but suddenly, Masao Konoe appeared again?

Konoe Masao didn't know about the vault, otherwise Fang wouldn't have found out where the vault was half a month ago.

Did the high-frequency groundwave telegram sent by the Japanese consulate be sent to this grain store, asking them to inform the Japanese spies outside the city to flee or lurk on the spot?
