"That's right," Sato nodded, "According to the usual practice, our special high school will place some agents in the embassies of various countries, of course, the list is divided into two parts, a short version and a detailed version, the short version is notified to the Soviet official, the detailed version is in our own hands, and the lost version is the detailed version." ”

Geng Chaozhong nodded, the so-called simplified version of the detailed version is actually the embassy staff on the surface and the spies planted in secret, and the list of the detailed version is a little more than the simplified version. As long as the other party has the detailed version, it is easy to determine the spy planted by the empire through the personnel missing from the simplified version.

"How did it happen?" Geng Chaozhong's brows furrowed.

"It was a matter of chance that I found out about this," Sato briefly explained, "According to the usual practice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a large number of documents that need to be destroyed every day, including official documents exchanged between various countries, personnel lists, expired foreign affairs strategy files, etc., which is quite large. Every once in a while, the Foreign Ministry's Logistics Management Office would use trucks to haul expired documents to the outskirts and burn them, but the police department found that many of the documents that should have been destroyed had appeared in a Frenchman-owned café in Shinjuku Ward. Later, the police investigation found out that the owner of this café was secretly engaged in intelligence trading, and we invited him to the police town, and he confessed that the documents were sold to him by a woman. ”

"Women?" Geng Chaozhong muttered to himself.

"Yes, a tall Japanese woman," Sato nodded slowly, "At this time, the police town has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, because although those documents are also important, most of them are time-sensitive, and they are not too valuable. ”

"But then," Sato's face also showed a solemn expression, "when the police town informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the incident and urged them to pay attention to secrecy, an incident happened, and a staff member of the Logistics Management Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs committed suicide. ”

"Suicide?" Geng Chaozhong was taken aback.

"Yes, suicide, in his office, he found some documents that should have been destroyed, including the one we lost." Sato let out a sigh of relief.

"Shouldn't this kind of list be destroyed on the spot?" Geng Chaozhong's face showed a look of incomprehension.

Even if it is a confidential file, it is also divided into levels, and this kind of confidential file involving intelligence gathering personnel should not be destroyed in a centralized and unified manner like other documents, but should be archived or destroyed on the spot.

"In fact, it should indeed be destroyed on the spot, but some officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do not have such a strong sense of secrecy," Sato couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This list requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when sending and placing people, and it stands to reason that it should be destroyed immediately after it is used up, but some of the officers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are too troublesome, so they hand it over to the people of the Logistics Department to deal with it uniformly, and then ........ The unexpected happened. ”

"Did you follow this line?" Geng Chaozhong asked.

"Yes, it was found that this dead logistics officer also had a relationship with a woman, and his colleague had seen this woman driving a Ford sedan, which according to the description, should be the same woman who sold the documents to the bar owner."

"That's interesting," Geng Chaozhong said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "It's very much like the style of the Soviets." ”

"Yes, the European intelligence school likes to exchange information through cafes, bars and other places, and also likes to use women to obtain information, plus the lost list is related to Moscow, so we suspect that it is the Soviets at the first time." Sato nodded, "At this point, the police town felt that it couldn't handle it, so they handed this matter over to our special high school. ”

"Is there any movement on the Moscow side?" Geng Chaozhong pondered his words.

"No, so we can't be sure that the Soviets did it, but even if the Soviets did it, they won't do it now, after all, it won't do them any good to kill our people directly, it's better to secretly monitor and control it." Sato replied.

Geng Chaozhong nodded, this is a common practice, spies sent by the enemy like this, even if they grasp the situation, they will generally not touch them, after all, after killing a batch, the other party will send another batch.

"The personnel sent to Moscow, we will gradually change, now your task is to find out the reason for the leak as soon as possible," Sato shook his fingers, "There are some materials and a list of suspected objects in the file bag, you start to investigate, in terms of manpower, you can pick a few competent ones from among your students, and choose to come to me to apply for a pass." ”

"Hey." Geng Chaozhong nodded in agreement, but there was some hesitation in his expression.

"What, there's a problem?" Sato saw Geng Chaozhong's hesitation.

"The students have just completed basic military training, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do it in a short time." Geng Chaozhong replied truthfully.

"It's not that important whether you are competent or not," Sato smiled, "The point is that the Soviets have been lurking in the empire for a long time, and no one knows if they have planted eyeliner in the police town, and the new people from the Mitsui Iron Works are more confidential." ”

"Okay," Geng Chaozhong's expression relaxed, "Then the subordinate has gone down." ”

"Don't," Sato shook his hand to stop Geng Chaozhong from leaving, "Don't take the file away, just look at it here, you can go out at any time when you need to check it." ”

"Okay." Geng Chaozhong agreed, and began to bow his head and carefully read the file.

The contents of the dossier are quite detailed, and it seems that Inspector Town has done a lot of work, including some clues about the woman and some clues about the Ford sedan, but soon the clues are interrupted when the sedan is found to have crashed into a cliff outside Tokyo.

At the end of the file was a sketch by the French owner of the bar, of the woman who sold him the papers—a woman in a white top hat with a face obscured by a white veil, with only a pointed chin exposed.

It's hard to see anything based on this alone.

"This, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Geng Chaozhong read the entire case file and couldn't help scratching his hair.

"It's because it's difficult, that's why I'm looking for you," Sato smiled, "In short, it's better to do it as soon as possible, the longer the time drags, the more difficult it will be to find out about this matter, and I hope that Date Jun will do your best." ”

"Hey, my subordinates will do their best!" Geng Chaozhong stood up.

"You let Watanabe take charge of the school's affairs, and you can switch with other teachers for specific courses, such as the course "Detailed Information on Shina", and try not to delay the class. But the main focus is still on this case for the time being - the police town handed over this case to us, you should understand what it means. ”

"Hey, my subordinates understand! We won't let Policho underestimate our extra high class! Geng Chaozhong nodded again.
