Chapter 1061 Plan Change

"Brother Gong, do you mean to use your strategy to lure Liao Xun out of Hangzhou and then attack him?"

That night in Hangzhou, Gong Shiqi met with Gao Qiaonan again and informed him of the unexpected situation that happened at Chengfengxing today. After listening to it, Gao Qiaonan had vaguely guessed Gong Shiqi's plan, so he asked him questions for confirmation.

"Yes, if we can find a way to make Liao Xun throw himself into a trap, we can save a lot of trouble in our actions in Hangzhou City." Gong Shiqi nodded and admitted Gao Qiaonan's guess: "And I can see from his posture that this is deliberate. I'm afraid the plan to deal with us has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for such an opportunity to send people to Zhoushan Island. He went through so much trouble to find Cheng Fengxing, and the person he wants to send to the island is probably not an ordinary spy. ”

Takahashi Minami also agrees with this: "If some strange combination of circumstances hadn't happened to find Cheng Fengxing, he might have actually hidden it from us when he planned this."

"To be honest, we are indeed lucky this time, but the security loopholes in the immigration measures are still slowly emerging!" Gong Shiqi said with emotion: "This matter must be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible!"

Since Haihan itself has been in a state of rapid development, the demand for population, especially labor, has almost never stopped. However, the number of personnel responsible for immigration work in Haihan itself is also very limited, so they can only be deployed in areas where the introduction of immigrants is relatively concentrated. and positions. After Haihan occupied Zhoushan, the main direction of introducing immigrants from the Ming Dynasty was still from the Jiaodong Peninsula in the north. Since Jiangsu and Zhejiang were relatively prosperous and stable, most of the immigrants that could be introduced from various state capitals were sporadic. Organizing one hundred and eighty people is considered too much. Therefore, in order to save time and effort, the civil affairs department outsourced the work of organizing immigrants to dental intermediaries in various states, and only controlled the review of the acceptance stage.

The civil affairs department is aware of the security loopholes in this process, and the security department is also aware of it. However, it has always been operated in this way in the south, and there have been no major problems. Everyone has maintained a tacit understanding and continued this practice. But after the Hangzhou operation, the rules in this area may have to be changed. Otherwise, if there is an assassination incident on Zhoushan Island and people are held accountable, the culpability of the relevant personnel will be huge.

Takahashi Nandao: "Should the actions in the city continue as planned?"

Gong Shiqi said: "Originally, I planned to lead a team to attack the target person's residence after nightfall. However, our current conditions can only complete the investigation of the external environment, but we have no time to find out the situation inside his residence, so the risk of the operation is still very high. . I have been thinking about how to design a more confident action plan, and I didn’t have a rough idea until today.”

"I'd like to hear the details." Takahashi Nan also became interested upon hearing this. They had been in Hangzhou for a few days. Gao Qiaonan was responsible for investigating the daily activities of the target people in the city, so he fully felt the difficulty of this operation.

Several targets of the action team were working in the yamen during the day, so it was obviously impossible to go in and commit murder in broad daylight. To attack his residence at night, the action team would have to enter the neighborhood before dark and lurk there. After the attack, they would have to leave the city as soon as possible before dawn to ensure a safe escape. The time span during this period was as long as one night, and there were too many uncontrollable variables in the process. The risks involved in the operation were quite high, and the entire team might be trapped in the city.

Although Gong Shiqi and Gao Qiaonan are both fierce men who are not afraid of death, they do not want to take unnecessary risks during the operation, not to mention that all those participating in the operation this time are elites carefully selected from the Security Department and the Special Operations Battalion. , any loss of personnel is a serious loss that is unacceptable to them. It would be best if we could find a relatively risk-controllable way to achieve the predetermined goals.

Gong Shiqi said: "According to what we know so far, Liao Xun, Yu Pingfeng, and Guo Zheng are in cahoots with each other. Almost all the official documents issued by the Hangzhou government against Haihan in the past year were concocted by them. I I was thinking just now, if we can manage to control Liao Xun, whether we can use him to trick the other two people out. As long as they can enter a place under our control, the difficulty of doing so will be doubled. "< br>


"But if you want to control Liao Xun for our use, it's not easy!" Takahashi Nan considered: "This guy has been struggling with us for a year, and he seems to be a die-hard who will never look back until he hits the wall. Even if Even if they are caught, they may not be willing to surrender to us.”

"The problems you mentioned do exist, so when dealing with people like him, we cannot stick to the rules. We must use extraordinary means when it is necessary to complete the task." Gong Shiqi seemed quite confident about this: " I can think of at least seventeen or eight ways to make Liao Xun bow to us when the time comes!”

Although Takahashi Nan did not know the specific content of the methods Gong Shiqi mentioned, most of the things done by the Security Department were shady, and it was unlikely that they would be aboveboard, and he was used to using clear swords and clear guns on the battlefield. In the competition, I was not very interested in this kind of tactics. In order to avoid embarrassment, I did not ask further about it. But he also knew that if he wanted Liao Xun and others to disappear silently from Hangzhou, the method proposed by Gong Qiqi now was probably much more feasible than storming their residence. Considering the overall situation, he should indeed cooperate with Gong Seventeen ideas to implement follow-up actions.

The two discussed it and decided to shift the investigation direction in the next few days to Liao Xun first, monitor his daily whereabouts and residence conditions, and strive to find any clues about Liao Xun before Wanfa organizes the immigrants. Weaknesses to be exploited. In this way, when Liao Xun goes to Chengfengxing again in five days, he will be able to set up a targeted game and wait for him to fall into his trap.

Jin Yiwei's investigation of Cheng Fengxing was obviously not thorough enough. He neither found any loopholes in Wanfa's identity nor noticed problems with Chengfengxing's capital background. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the Ministry of Security put in enough effort when playing this chess piece, took great pains to create a basically perfect false identity for Wan Fa, and then managed to take over the Cheng Fengxing name from the Fujian Xu family. The store has been operating for many years, and apart from the immigration project, Chengfenghang has never sold any products produced by Haihan. In this way, Wan Fa's confession to clear himself seems to have a certain degree of credibility. After all, how could a businessman who really has close contacts with Haihan not resell Haihan's highly profitable products, and the process of doing so is so troublesome? It is an immigration business with relatively low returns.

Therefore, although Liao Xun spent some time investigating Cheng Fengxing's background, he did not discover the real relationship between this store and Haihan in his haste, and did not even think about this seemingly philistine and timid businessman. The shopkeeper turned out to be the detective deployed by Haihan in Hangzhou City. In this way, Liao Xun was naturally not wary of Cheng Fengxing and Wanfa. Although he also deployed manpower to monitor Chengfengxing, this was only to prevent Wanfa from running away in a hurry. Just a preventive measure. Perhaps in Jin Yiwei's eyes, Cheng Fengxing's suspicion of colluding with Haihan is actually not as high as those merchants who sell Haihan's products on the market. At least the latter go to Zhoushan much more frequently than Wanfa.

The current situation can be said to be that the Jin Yiwei is in the light, while the action team is in the dark. Liao Xun almost sent himself to Haihan's chopping block in an unprepared posture without knowing it. Haihan had already occupied the position by calculating with his mind and without any intention. The most advantageous position in this situation. What Gong Shiqi has to do now is to plan how to make good use of the current situation and gain the greatest advantage for his side's next actions.

The next day, when Liao Xun deployed his men to the area around Chengfengxing to monitor Wanfa's movements, he did not know that the Haihan people he was looking for were in the city at this time, and his troops were divided into two groups to attack the Jinyi Guards. The Yamen and Mr. Liao's residence in the north of the city were under surveillance.

"There is something wrong with this house!" Gong Shiqi walked around Liao Xun's house in the north of the city and saw something was wrong. After returning to the seating area of ​​a nearby teahouse, he asked Gao Qiaonan who was waiting here. informed him of his findings. This was the second time Gao Qiaonan came here to investigate. He specifically called Gong Qiqi here because he was worried that there were some omissions in his observations. He quickly asked: "What did Brother Gong find?"

Gong Shiqi stretched out a finger to dip some tea from the teacup, and started drawing on the table. While drawing, he explained to Gao Qiaonan: "Look, this is Liao's house. It faces south and faces north. There is a window outside the back door. An alley is another house, right?”

Takahashi Nan didn't know what he meant, but he still nodded and recognized the accuracy of Gong Shiqi's sketch.

Gong Shiqi continued: "The two houses have back doors in the alley, but there is a dead end in the middle of the alley. Why do you think this is? I have seen the place where the wall was sealed. The traces were recently constructed, and After asking the nearby soy sauce shop, I can confirm that this alley used to be open.”

Gao Qiaonan suddenly said: "You are saying that these two back doors are just a show of concealment, but the owner of the household blocked off the alley between the two houses in order to... prevent others from discovering that the two courtyards are actually connected together. ”

Gong Shiqi nodded and said: "This is not a new trick. Our Security Department's stronghold in Guangzhou is also located in two neighboring houses. However, we did not use such crude methods, but specially dug under the two houses. A tunnel was built to connect them. In times of danger, they could move out of one of the houses. Presumably Liao Xun didn't want to cause such trouble, so he simply built a wall in the middle to cut off the alley. If you notice this method, you should not dare to ask.”

Takahashi Minami sighed: "Of course he didn't expect that someone would come here to monitor his house... But with his status, he could openly buy these two houses and merge them into one to engage in such a cover-up." What are the methods of concealment? ”

Now Gong Shiqi couldn't answer. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what the purpose is. Maybe he used that house to raise another woman? Or maybe he hid something shady in it." He had seen too much. Even though he was knowledgeable, he never imagined that Liao Xun had hidden a "special force" in another house.

Gao Qiao Nan said: "If Brother Gong hadn't come here to investigate in person today, I'm afraid I would have skipped this detail. If we had to take action here, we might have missed the point because of this! What a risk, what a risk. ! ”

Gong Shiqi comforted: "Takahashi...Brother Qiao, don't blame yourself. After all, you are a general leading troops. You have never seen these weird methods in the world, so it is inevitable to make some omissions." Gong Shiqi almost called him by his original name, but suddenly Remembering that Takahashi Nan had already used the pseudonym Qiao Nan during the operation, he abruptly changed his tune.

Gao Qiaonan didn't take it seriously. Many people in the Haihan Army still call him "Battle Commander Gao". Many people don't even know that he was born in Japan and his surname is Gao Qiao. People like Gong Shiqi use his original surname. There are very few proportional situations.

Now that we have discovered something strange about Liao Xun's house, there is no reason to let it go. Gong Shiqi said: "I have given an order to have people monitor the house connected to the north as well. Let's take a look. Can you find out what tricks Liao Xun is playing? ”

Gaoqiao South Road: "If we don't climb over the wall and enter, how can we know the situation inside?"

"Some things can be deduced from other situations without climbing over the wall." Gong Shiqi explained: "We monitor the people entering and exiting every day. After a few days, we can estimate the approximate number of people inside."
< br>

"What if someone lives in seclusion?" Takahashi Minami asked.

"If you live in a house, you always have to eat." Gong Shiqi said confidently: "Liao Xun is a member of a royal family, so he must be particular about his diet. The amount of fresh ingredients purchased from this house every day can also reflect the life in it. How many people are there?”

"Your method is similar to inferring the size of the army through the amount of military rations in military reconnaissance, but people have different appetites and dietary preferences, and it is not like the military that has clear regulations on the amount of food and grass consumed by each person every day. In this way There will definitely be a big error in making speculations." Gao Qiaonan was not very interested in the method proposed by Gong Shiqi.

"There will be errors, but they won't be as big as expected. Moreover, this is in a city, which is different from the situation on the battlefield. We can find ways to get more accurate information." Gong Shiqi came prepared. , explained to Takahashi Minami: "In a house like this, where there are a large number of people living there, there are generally rice merchants and vegetable vendors who do not need them to go out to buy ingredients themselves. We only need to find vendors who provide them with ingredients, and at most we can spend some money. , we can get more detailed information from him. I have sent people to inquire about the situation, and I think we will be able to find out what we want to know soon.”

Takahashi Nan was finally convinced now, and gave a thumbs up and said: "No wonder the chief often says that you city people know how to play. I have seen it today!"
