By eleven o'clock in the evening, all the operational officers had already rushed back to report to Ning Zhiheng.

Sun Jiacheng was the first to speak: "Team leader, we found that among the four targets, three of them, combat staff officers Ding Hong, Dong Fengyang, and Bai Xiangqi, they had some meals in the canteen after the meeting, ate together in the canteen, and then returned to their rooms and did not go out, but the target Sun Yushu did not go to the canteen, but left the headquarters alone. ”

Shen Xiang on the side said: "He went to a tavern called Yuehe, where he drank alone, the time was forty minutes, and then he brought back a pot of wine, during which he only had contact with the owner of the tavern, and we didn't find anything abnormal, and then he went directly back to the headquarters in his own dormitory, and now we have monitored the owner of Yuehe Tavern, but as far as we know, this tavern owner opened a shop here many years ago, and he does not have the conditions to respond to the target at any time." ”

"No contact with anyone else?" Ning Zhiheng asked again with confirmation.

"No, it's only this hotel owner, we're still under surveillance now, do you want to arrest him?" Shen Xiang asked.

"Let's continue to monitor, the Japanese spies will definitely pass on the information tonight, but I don't know how to analyze it according to the normal state of the Japanese, there will definitely be a carrier pigeon next to the mole, we just want to find out this carrier pigeon, everything will be clear." Ning Zhiheng commanded.

"Team leader, I have a little idea," Shen Xiang couldn't help some doubts in his heart, "Since he is a spy in this kind of combat army, because he often changes his station, the mobility is very strong, you also said that his liaison officer needs to be ready to transfer with him at any time, is this a bit cumbersome, is there still a possibility, that is, they don't need a liaison officer, they may directly use the radio to send information, which is very rare in the intelligence struggle, and it is also contrary to the principle of security, but special treatment is special in special circumstances, Nor can we generalize. ”

Shen Xiang's words made everyone's hearts move, and it made sense to say this, and it may not be a good idea.

Ning Zhiheng was also silent for a while after listening, he carefully considered Shen Xiang's analysis, I have to say that this possibility is there, and it is very big, but in the end, Ning Zhiheng still vetoed this idea, he slowly got up, paced a few steps in place, shook his head and said: "Such an important senior spy, the Japanese will not let him take this risk, after all, it is a very dangerous thing to directly carry a radio station and send telegrams, and the temporary residence of these combat staff officers, you have also seen it, it is a simple dormitory, The luggage of the army is packed in a rattan box, it is difficult to carry a radio station at all, and it is separated by a wall from other colleagues, and the sound of sending and receiving can not be concealed from people at all, and if someone suddenly comes to the door to find him when sending a newspaper, it will also interrupt his sending and receiving, I am still inclined to the initial judgment that there is a carrier pigeon by his side, but this carrier pigeon is moving with him. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng said word by word: "It is very likely that they are the staff in the command headquarters, they must meet two conditions, the first is to carry the radio station, and the second is to have a hidden place that is convenient for sending reports." ”

Zuo Gang, who had not spoken, also spoke: "But the other three combat staff officers did not have any contact with the outside world, because it was late after the meeting, the three of them went directly to the canteen of the agency together, I saw that they had been together, it was difficult for each other to do anything with each other, and the cook who contacted them had already been monitored, and now they are simply snoring in the room and sleeping soundly!" ”

"That's right, and when the meeting is over, the mole doesn't have time to record the information on paper and pass it on, and the three of them don't have this condition." Shen Xiang continued.

"But there is a strange phenomenon," Sun Jiacheng continued, "Bai Xiangqi went out for a walk by himself at about nine o'clock, and he did not contact anyone during the walk, but stayed in one place for a while, smoked a cigarette, and then came back, and I left someone to squat where he stayed to see if there was any gain." ”

"This situation is very important," Ning Zhiheng immediately asked, "Is there something wrong with his mannerisms?" ”

Sun Jiacheng was specifically responsible for tracking Bai Xiangqi, he recalled it carefully, and then said: "When he went out, it happened that Sun Yushu came back from drinking outside, and the two of them said a few words, Bai Xiangqi felt stuffy in the house, so he went out to smoke a cigarette and take a walk, and the time was only twenty minutes. ”

Ning Zhiheng raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, but none of the four suspected targets moved, could it be that I made a mistake in my own judgment, and the mole was not among these four people?

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a member of the operative team pushed the door open.

"What's the matter?" Ning Zhiheng asked.

"Team leader, I squatted in the place where Bai Xiangqi stayed when he was walking, just ten minutes ago, a figure appeared, he groped on the ground for a while, picked up something, and then quickly left, I followed him to the second room in the west of the third row at the end of the headquarters, and hurried back to report." The team member spoke very quickly, but the narration was clear, and everyone was refreshed.

Who ran out in the middle of the night to pick up stones? It must be a carrier pigeon!

After listening to the team members' narratives, Sun Jiacheng recalled them carefully, and suddenly said: "At that time, Bai Xiangqi only smoked one cigarette, because the cigarette case was empty, he threw it on the ground, and then left. ”

He hurriedly turned his head to Ning Zhiheng and said, "Team leader, it's that cigarette box, it must be that cigarette box!" ”

Ning Zhiheng's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help laughing, he turned his head and said to everyone: "Look, a good meal is not afraid of being late, this net is finally catching fish!" ”

He praised Sun Jiacheng again: "Old Sun, your skills are getting better and better, and the people under this command are also training well." ”

He then said to the team member: "Nian Zhe, if you find a real carrier pigeon, I will take credit to you and show us the way!" ”

Action team member Nian Zhe is a member of the action team brought by Ning Zhiheng from the Nanjing headquarters, Ning Zhiheng has always remembered the names of his subordinates very clearly, and often calls them by their names when they arrange tasks, which makes his subordinates feel very valued.

"Xie Team Leader Cultivation!" Nian Zhe couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Ning Zhiheng's words, he knew that Ning Zhiheng especially liked to promote henchmen from the grassroots, and the three captains in his action team, Sun Jiacheng and the Zuo brothers, were all pulled up from the bottom by the team leader, and if he won the favor of the team leader, his future future would also be promising.

Ning Zhiheng ordered Sun Jiacheng again: "Immediately strengthen the monitoring of Bai Xiangqi, you go and guard it personally, once I have a breakthrough here, you will immediately arrest people, remember, you must arrest people alive, I have to give an explanation to the commander, don't kill me." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it myself when the time comes, and there will never be any problems." Sun Jiacheng patted his chest and solemnly assured.

Ning Zhiheng took a few officers and capable team members and followed Nian Zhe all the way quickly, and came to the house that Nian Zhe said not far away.

Nian Zhe pointed to the room with dim lights and whispered: "It's these two houses, I saw with my own eyes the door he opened with a key, this must be his private room, so I dare to leave to report the news." ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded, Nian Zhe's mind was clear, he determined that this room was a room dedicated to tracking targets, even if he left temporarily, he was not afraid that this target would be out of sight, anyway, the monk who ran away couldn't run away from the temple, and he could find him sooner or later according to this room.

When they were eyeing the target here, ready to attack the target, Wu Anhe in the room didn't know anything about it.

This house is the storage room of the logistics department, because it is in a remote corner of the headquarters, no one will come here at all, and usually only Wu Anhe will enter, and only he has the key, so it is safe to send reports here.

On the table in front of Wu Anhe, there was a crumpled Hardmen cigarette case, he unfolded a piece of white paper that was also wrinkled, picked up the encrypted code book in his hand, and was translating it word by word.

There is a lot of information recorded on the blank paper, and it records in detail the deployment of the main forces of China's right-wing battlefield this time, and there are too many contents involved, which need to be translated into a password word by word, and then it has to be checked again, and then it is sent out, and in order to receive it correctly, it has to be sent twice in a row, which is not a small project.

Wu Anhe was a veteran spy who had infiltrated China many years ago, and after years of hard work, he finally infiltrated China's main division and got a position in the logistics department.

However, he was unable to enter the upper echelons of the military and had no access to confidential military information, so he carefully selected and finally set his sights on Bai Xiangqi, the operational staff officer of the General Staff.

Facts have proved that all the previous efforts have been worthwhile, and the confidential information in the army, such as the number, personnel, disposition, military equipment, deployment location, various military activities, and other important information of various units among the Chinese right-wing officers, has been continuously transmitted to him, which makes the Japanese intelligence headquarters very satisfied with his work.

Now that Wu Anhe had finally completed all the preparations, he raised his hand to look at the time, it was about to be time to communicate with the headquarters, he quickly picked up the compiled password in his hand, and walked quickly to a large wooden box in the room, which was a box specially used by the logistics department to transport supplies.

He used the key to open the padlock of the large box, lifted the lid of the box, removed the debris from it, and then carefully removed a delicate military radio.
