Chapter 25 The Interlude of Fishing Operations Part II (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
A three-tiered altar was set up in the courtyard of the pharmacy, with a black-and-white photograph of the deceased placed above the center, lotus lanterns, flower baskets, flowers and fruits on both sides, and the coffin in the forefront. Monks were specially invited to recite scriptures, and most of the Japanese believe in Buddhism.
The old spy has a good reputation in the Japanese concession, and many Japanese come to pay respects, but in order to keep his identity secret, there is no special over-standard treatment, which is the same as the funeral of ordinary Japanese.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the consul general and first secretary of the Japanese Consulate General in Jinling, Yayoshiro Suma, who was also a spy with old qualifications, got the news and urgently took a car to Hangzhou.
Nishikawa Otojiro's death involves the reputation and image of the empire, so this group of people behaved very low-key after coming to Hangzhou, except for the people in the consulate, ordinary Japanese people do not know their true identities.
It is a necessary attitude to express the deep condolences to Mrs. Nishikawa on behalf of the Japanese government for the death of Otojiro Nishikawa, and also to show that the empire has not forgotten Otojiro Nishikawa's hard work for the country.
"Just a few days ago, when I came to Hangzhou to deal with official business, I specially paid a visit to His Excellency Xichuan and brought greetings from the military department to him, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Shanghai, His Excellency Xichuan actually had such a thing, which is simply a shame for the empire!" Kazuki Takashima said through gritted teeth.
He didn't think that it was because of his appearance that Nishikawa Otojiro was exposed, and he sent this old spy to meet Amaterasu in Japan. After all, Han Lin's memory is not so deep, and it is difficult to think of the materials of the Republic of China period without being stimulated by some conditions.
"Yes, for the sake of the Japanese Empire, my predecessors left their homeland and came to Hangzhou in China to lurk, and for more than ten years, they made great contributions to the empire's survey of the topography, landforms, roads, urban layout, and troop deployment of Hangzhou and surrounding cities."
"Tokyo's instructions to cremate the senior and send him back to Japan, buried in his hometown, and his wife to take him back to live in China, those shameful bastards and murderers were all secretly executed by the special high division of the police department, in order to comfort the heroic souls of the seniors. The special high school will receive the intelligence organization of the predecessor as soon as possible, and his hard work must be continued. Suma Yayoshiro said.
The senior spy who has been lurking in Hangzhou for more than ten years, his identity has never been exposed, but he accidentally died in the hands of his own people, and he is still a group of bastard ronins, which is a huge success for Nishikawa Otojiro and the biggest stain in his life.
The Japanese invaders treated the Chinese people fiercely, brutally and greedily, but they were not merciful to their own people, once they touched their vital interests.
Han Lin stood in the crowd not far away to watch the excitement, this is his masterpiece, and the tactical use and effect are very satisfactory. He didn't know Consul General Suma Yayoshiro, but he knew Kazuki Takashima, and he was able to make the head of an intelligence agency speak and behave respectfully, which showed that this person's identity was very high, and it was confirmed from the side that the identity of the owner of the store was not trivial.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Jiandong and several team members returned to Hangzhou, no way, the train departed on time, and there were Songjiang, Jiaxing, Kipshi, Chang'an these four stations on the way, all of which were to stop, not as good as Suma Yajiro and others, and rushed to Hangzhou directly by car.
But then again, it's definitely more comfortable to take the train, the road is potholed and bumpy at the moment, and the car is still uncomfortable to make people want to vomit.
"Boss, why did this Japanese spy who opened a pharmacy as a cover suddenly die?" Cao Jiandong asked curiously.
"When I came, I heard people talk about how the shopkeeper went to the tavern to drink last night, and was accidentally killed by a group of drunken Japanese ronins in front of the tavern! That's fine, let's do it! How did you do when you went to Shanghai this time? Han Lin said with a smile.
Are you lying to the ghost?
If you don't die sooner or later, you will die as soon as you are exposed, how can there be such a coincidence?
"You think very carefully, we arrived in Shanghai, sure enough, there is a car to the station to pick him up, fortunately we also rented a car in advance, we followed all the way to a foreign company in the public concession, the big Shanghai market is too prosperous, more than eleven o'clock is still brightly lit people come and go, did not arouse his alarm."
"We squatted in the neighborhood for three days, not only found his residence, but also shot dozens of rolls of film, whether it was worth it or not." Cao Jiandong said.
He had never been to Shanghai before, and he had no idea about Shanghai, which was known as the most prosperous international metropolis in Asia, but this time he stayed in the public concession for a few days, and his eyes were a little insufficient, let alone after 11 o'clock in the evening, it was a city that never sleeps. Compared with the Greater Shanghai City, Hangzhou and Jinling, which are both listed in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region, are incomparable.
"He's not some sleeper team or a lone sleeper spy, but a leader, and the place you find is most likely the location of the headquarters, and anyone who enters and leaves this place will be suspected of being investigated."
"If it weren't for your lack of experience, I would have considered letting you be stationed in the public concession for a long time, monitoring this stronghold, and gradually digging out this intelligence network." Han Lin said.
The Japanese spies lurking in Hangzhou were under the control of Shanghai, and it can be inferred that the foreign bank found this time may be the headquarters of the organization.
Why did the headquarters of Japan's spy agencies be located in the Public Concession and not in the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou? That's for the sake of secrecy!
If it were located in an area occupied by the Japanese, it would probably be detected for one reason or another and become a target for surveillance by the Jinling government's secret services.
After all, at this time, the Shanghai market was still the territory of the Jinling government, and the Japanese had no way to curb the activities of the special services of the Coordination Bureau, so it was obviously not in line with the principle of intelligence work to set up their headquarters in the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou.
"Shall we continue to follow this guy back to Shanghai?" Cao Jiandong asked.
"No need, it's easy to be exposed if you follow too closely, do our business, professional intuition is quite keen, don't despise our opponents, wait for a mess of things in Hangzhou, and then go to Shanghai to stare at it for a while, the station has been dug out for us, and there will be opportunities in the future." Han Lin shook his head and said.
Setting up a base in Shanghai in advance to prepare for future activities in Shanghai is a must-do, but it is not the most important thing.
When Boss Dai ordered the transfer was not certain, Han Lin decided that this group of people in the field team often went to Shanghai to familiarize themselves with the situation when they were free, which is called seamless connection.
