Things have changed in nature, and Fang Buwei doesn't dare to be careless.

As soon as he went back, he first cleared out all the irrelevant people in the light smoke building.

Ma Chunfeng sent Zheng Shifei's spy battalion to Fang Buwei, who withdrew Xu Zhidao's fifth regiment from the city wall and surrounded Xiaguan.

Gu Zhenlong entered the inner city and immediately notified the upstream and downstream checkpoints that ships were strictly forbidden to enter the Nanjing section.

Fang Buwei officially began a large-scale search and arrest of Xiaguan.

The first is naturally to check the vaults and arsenals.

The city has been searched twice like a plow, and it is unlikely that it will be missed, so it is necessary to consider whether it is outside the city.

There is no doubt that the treasury must be in Nanjing, and it cannot be built outside Nanjing, the difference lies in the part of the outer city.

The Japanese wanted to make a time difference, taking advantage of the lack of preparedness of the Nationalist Government, to exchange British pound bonds first. Naturally, how convenient it is, how fast it is.

The matter of currency reform is suspected of being semi-forced, and the national government is also afraid that after the announcement is issued, the people will panic and transfer gold and silver, and the inventory must be extremely strict. If the Japanese hide the gold and silver outside the scope of the inventory and transport it to the city, there is a possibility that the stuffing will be exposed.

The fortifications that Bian Congjun just discovered that are suspected to be vaults also indirectly prove this.

In addition to safety and privacy, Japan's third concern is convenience.

Fang is not sure to have eight cities.

The same goes for arsenals.

If his own inference is true, all the weapons of the Japanese spies arrested these times were smuggled in by warships during the consular incident, and the hiding place will not be too far.

And it won't be a small amount.

In these three seizures alone, there are about 500 guns, so don't you believe that there are no more?

As for the fish that slipped through the net, Fang Buwei didn't realize it, except for guarding this part of the vault, there was little hope that the others would hide in Nanjing City.

There was a lot of movement on this day and night, and even the stupid bird was frightened.

And this part of the guarding vault definitely has no way to go, so it can only be hidden on the spot. If there is no trace after searching the next pass, Fang Buwei will have to search the mountain.

Zhongshan, Purple Mountain, Niushou Mountain......

100,000 taels of gold is not a decimal number, and no matter how much the Japanese believe in the loyalty of their own people, they will not dare to take so much money as a child's play.

People die for money, and birds die for food!

This is a common principle in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

It's impossible not to be guarded, and it's not possible to have fewer people.

Who can guarantee that no one will be guarding and stealing?

The chief officers of each group were all summoned to the light smoke building, and Fang Buwei personally ordered the search and arrest task.

Fang is not bad for showing up, and Zhao Shirui is responsible for the inspection.

The next pass suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs.

The party did not require all departments, regardless of whether there was any movement or not, to report every hour, and ordered each group to record the details of the search in detail.

This is in case you can't find anything, you can also find some clues based on the records.

It was naturally impossible for Fang Buwei to go to sleep, so he asked Ye Xingzhong to make a pot of strong tea and sit on the first floor of the light smoke building waiting for news.

At four o'clock in the morning, there was movement here in Fengjiashan first.

"When I searched this Xinji firm, I found that the door was locked, and asked the neighbors, saying that the shopkeeper and his companion were still there the day before yesterday, and they didn't open the door yesterday morning, and they thought they had gone to buy goods......

I ordered someone to pry open the door, and there was no one in it, not even a guy to look after the shop......"

It was still there the day before yesterday and suddenly disappeared today?

Fang Buwei hooked a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"What do you do for a living?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"Now it is dealing in rice, grain, oil and coal, but I asked about it, half a year ago, this commercial bank operated a period of gray and iron ......"

Building materials?

Fang Buwei slapped his palm on the table.

"Where, take me to ......"

When he arrived at the Xinji firm, Fang Buwei was more certain.

It is located in the northwest corner of Shimonoseki, near Lion Rock.

I have been away for so long, it must be for the convenience of carrying it up the mountain.

"Have you searched inside and out?" Fang Buwei asked.

"It's searched," Feng Jiashan replied, "The backyard is the warehouse, but it's full of goods, and nothing unusual has been found, and there is no secret passage underground......

"Call me all the neighbors left and right!" Fang Buwei explained to Feng Jiashan.

Feng Jiashan is also an old man who follows him, and he is not a spy on the first day, so he naturally knows how to investigate the case, and he has already made preparations.

Within a few minutes, Feng Jiashan took a few bosses and shopkeepers from several nearby families to Xinji Trading House.

Fang Buwei's identity is still top secret, except for a few chiefs and a few cronies, they don't know that it is him standing in front of them.

So when I asked, there were only Ye Xingzhong and Feng Jiashan around.

"This shop, half a year ago, was dished, and it originally sold rice grain, but after the new boss came, it began to sell ash ......."

"I heard no movement at night...... I heard it, the small one felt strange, I came out to see it once, and the shopkeeper said that it was a big family from the countryside outside the province to buy the goods, and it was shipped back to start work before dawn......"

"How do you usually behave in person? I don't know much about it, and the shopkeeper in his store doesn't like to interact with people very much......"

"I haven't seen his wife and young, but I've seen a few times when outsiders have come, and I haven't seen him live for a long ......time."

"Yes, all the people who came were young and strong, and I hadn't seen a ...... woman"

"The last exchange was two months ago, and it was also a foreigner, after the disk, half a month later, the reopened Zhang, and did not sell ashes, and the original was changed to rice and grain ......"

Pieced together one clue after another, the more and more the party is not convinced, this is a stronghold of the Japanese.

Half a year ago, he sold building materials in order to build a vault on Lion Rock, but he was broken by water thieves.

It stands to reason that the location of Lion Rock is not needed, and it must be replaced, and this store should also be moved, but it took another two months to change to selling rice and grain?

Could it be that after abandoning Lion Rock, the location of the vault did not move far, just near Shimonoseki?

Then it was repaired for two months, and after the vault was built, it was changed to a rice grain business.

But since they have all been replaced, why did they hear the wind and run away again?

It must be because the movement is too big this time, and this group of people is afraid that the spies will search Lion Rock and see the engineering in the air-raid shelter, so they will vigorously investigate the source of building materials.

This Xinji firm is so close to Lion Rock, and it has also operated these things, it will definitely be included in the key inventory, and this group of people is afraid of revealing their flaws in front of the spies, so they can only escape.

Fang Buwei had thought of it a long time ago, and it was not surprising that he escaped.

But so many clues can't escape.

The newly built vault is either not far from here, or it is located in a place with extremely convenient transportation.

Otherwise, there is no need for this store to change its face after two more months.

Secondly, the approximate time when the vault was built was two months ago.

In addition, continuing to operate rice grains is not just to hide people's eyes.

The people who guard the vault won't eat or drink?

It's really hard work.

Fang Buwei secretly exhaled.
