Chapter 56 Dragnet
Early the next morning, Toshiki Kawada entered the attic of the study room, turned on the phone and waited.
It didn't take long for him to receive a telegram from headquarters.
Kawada is from Tianjin Special High School, but he has a special status, Tuyuan disciple, so he has the right to communicate with the headquarters independently.
After each report to the headquarters, he needs to turn on the phone for half an hour the next morning. If there are instructions from the headquarters, they will be issued at this time. If not, he can just turn off the phone.
The radio soon started to stir.
The headquarters sent an order asking him to confirm whether the person arrested was an agent of the Manchuria Railway, and if so, where he was currently being held.
After burning the message, Kawada got dressed and went out.
In a store in Nan City, Kawada Takehiko was under the strict supervision of the Military Intelligence Department and worked silently inside. He did not dare to make any changes. Yan Ming had many bad ideas and specifically let him know that there were two snipers opposite the store door. Always face him with your mouth.
If he makes any move, shoot immediately.
Not only that, Yan Ming tailor-made a pair of heavy iron chains around his body, making it difficult for him to move.
Another layer of bombs was installed on his body. Although the bombs were lagging behind at this time, he could be shattered to pieces with just one shot or even violent exercise.
Others inside and outside the store were closely guarded, and Takehiko Kawada did not dare to have any objections these days.
All he wants now is to help the Chinese get things done so that he can spare his life in the future.
The sniper and the bomb were fake. There was someone on the opposite side, but it was not a real sniper. Even if it was, it would be impossible to just stare at him all day. My eyes would be unbearable.
Kawada didn't know about the rubble of bread in the bomb and was always afraid. He prayed that the team leader would appear soon and free him from these constraints.
Toshiki Kawada was riding a rickshaw and passed by Kawada's shop. He noticed that he was inside and immediately turned his head.
Before each assignment, he would make sure the other party was safe.
If there is no problem, give the order again to avoid any surprises.
Not only Kawada, he also went to the place where Takamoto Nami worked.
Takamoto used a stand-in and found someone who looked very similar to her. In addition, the waiter was dressed similarly, so unless he looked closely, he wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Kawada chose to pass by Takamoto when he was working, noticed ‘Takamoto’, and left immediately.
"Ring ring ring."
The phone in Kawada's store suddenly rang. The person guarding him immediately looked at the phone. Kawada walked over and answered the phone.
"This is He Ji Buzhuang, who are you?"
"Hedong Pier, under the third telephone pole on the east side."
A familiar voice came from the other side of the phone, and he hung up the phone after saying that. This was Toshiki Kawada's way of assigning tasks to them. He never showed up and had no fixed location. He asked them to go to a place to pick up the tasks each time.
Complete the task to send a signal and put it into the sewer.
Kawada and the others couldn't contact Kawada, so they had to use a dead mailbox to deliver.
He was indeed careful, but unfortunately he met a smarter opponent this time. Everything was arranged, waiting for him to take the bait.
"If anything happens, please notify Captain Xu immediately."
The guards understood that the target they were waiting for finally appeared. Xu Qingyun was monitoring the point at Wu Dasha's side. He immediately returned to the station after receiving the call.
"Qingyun, the team leader showed up and gave them a new task to pick up."
As soon as they entered the office, Wu Shaoshu said hurriedly that the five Japanese spies were an unexpected surprise, a pie from the sky, but the case they were most concerned about was still the team leader.
Catching him means more.
"Let Kawada get it. Our people will follow from a distance. Don't get close."
Xu Qingyun already knew the situation when he came and made arrangements without hesitation.
"Captain Xu, will Kawada run away?" Jie Yongshan came back with him and asked worriedly. "He doesn't have the guts."
Xu Qingyun shook his head and told him to go. This time, he would be strapped with a real bomb. If he dared to make any changes, his life would definitely not be saved.
As for Kawada's fear of death, there won't be any change.
Now Kawada is a dog that they have tamed and dare not move around.
"That's it."
Wu Shaoshu was a bit courageous and knew that he had to obtain information, but he was worried that the team leader was secretly monitoring him, so he could only let Kawada go alone.
Xu Qingyun's arrangement deceived Hetian again.
He was indeed in the distance, observing with a telescope to see if Kawada had gone to get it himself. If not, he would immediately understand that Kawada had rebelled.
Not many people are this careful.
Fortunately, Xu Qingyun understood his character thoroughly and did not dare to be careless in any step. He acted according to normal circumstances.
Kawada really didn't dare to run, so he honestly came back with a note.
"Find out the identities of the five people arrested by the police station yesterday and whether they were committed by the Military Intelligence Division."
The words on the note were passwords, and after being translated using a codebook, they were the latest tasks assigned to them.
"The fox's tail is exposed, stationmaster, teacher, it seems he can't escape this time."
After seeing the content, Xu Qingyun was slightly relieved. It can be said that he won the battle with patience. Unexpectedly, the person arrested yesterday actually helped them.
If it weren't for the man who caught Mantie, the cunning Japanese spy wouldn't have contacted Kawada so early. They didn't know how long they would have to wait with Wu Dasha.
"Qingyun, take care of it yourself and make sure to capture him alive."
Xu Zhanjie was very happy. The case was not over yet. He had no time for special training. Xu Qingyun was very busy every day.
After the case was over, he had time to teach his students. These days, he continued to modify the special training plan, and finally decided to only teach some basic things, not even radio.
Xu Qingyun is at Tianjin Station. It is very convenient to learn radio. There is no need to waste this time.
What he mainly teaches is the overall situation of the Military Intelligence Office, including the various factions, their various relationships with the outside world, the situation of the sub-stations, etc.
He was completely cultivating Xu Qingyun as his confidant. In the Military Intelligence Department, it was not just about ability, but also about being a good person.
These are the key.
"Yes, teacher."
Xu Qingyun responded, don't rush now, if you send a signal immediately, it would be a fool's behavior.
Collecting intelligence takes time. According to the usual time required, Xu Qingyun waited for three days before taking action.
Normally, it does take Kawada and Takamoto three days to get the information.
They must first notify the mole, then wait for the mole's news, and finally get the intelligence, send out a signal, and release the intelligence.
Xu Qingyun was in a hurry and couldn't eat hot tofu, but Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry.
Yanming went to the signal point and wrote the signal early.
He stayed at Wu Dasha's side and waited quietly. Xie Yongshan led his people to the alley and stared at the two sewers at the same time. If he didn't use the trolley this time and went directly to get the information, he wouldn't be able to escape.
For this operation, Wu Shaoshu sent twenty more people, all of whom were screened and determined to be safe and reliable. Including the police, the total number reached more than fifty.
Xu Qingyun laid out a dragnet and waited for the spy to show up. As long as he showed up, he would have no hope of escaping this time.
