Chapter 0099 New Discoveries

Luo Yao has been investigating Lao Mu all along.

Just in order not to alarm the other party, I did not use any external channels, and I did everything myself, so as to ensure that I would not startle the snake.

In addition to taking Gong Hui to drink coffee every weekend and eat desserts made by Lao Mu.

As long as he has time, he will try to find opportunities to observe and follow Lao Mu's whereabouts, and try to understand his social scope, living habits, eating habits and so on.

There is also the information of all the waiters and kitchen staff in Laomu Coffee House. Those who have been in the past five years, those who have left and those who are currently working are all within the scope of the investigation.

In addition, Luo Yao also asked Xu Jihong to monitor the phone number of Twilight Coffee House and the phone number of his residence.

He can use almost all the means at his disposal.

"Team leader, I have a new discovery, would you like to listen to it?" This morning, Luo Yao was eating breakfast and preparing to go to school for work, when Xu Jihong suddenly called.

"Well, see you in 10 minutes, Yu and Tang."

"It's that vixen again, why does she always call you, she must have plans for you?" Gong Hui is very appetizing, but she can't do anything to Xu Jihong, they are all from the temporary training class, Luo Yao is nothing like her people.

She regrets it very much now, if she had agreed in the warehouse of the Huanggang County Military Station, she would have justifiably kicked him out at this moment!

"This is work, Xiaohui. You need to distinguish between public and private, and don't always think about those useless things." After eating, Luo Yao put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm leaving first, you clean up."

"Hmph, I'm going too, listen to what she has to say?"

"No, you said you want to be a radio operator, what if Dad calls and we can't answer?" Luo Yao shook his head.

"Then you promise me that you are not allowed to fall in love with that fox."

"Let me explain to you, I won't consider personal feelings unless I drive the Japanese invaders out of China, so you'd better not waste your feelings on me." Luo Yao sighed, some things It's better to say it clearly, although he is not sure about his future, this war is not over, he will never consider personal issues.

Gong Hui was stunned.

What Luo Yao said was very resolute, it didn't look like he was joking, Gong Hui could tell that this man, regardless of his gentle temperament, was as hard as a rock in his bones, and he would never change what he believed in easily. .

She suddenly hated herself a little, because she had missed such an important opportunity, if she had agreed at that time, she could have claimed herself as a girlfriend, even if she didn't get married, it would be different.

"Think about it carefully. If you feel that our identities are not suitable, you can adjust them now." After Luo Yao finished speaking, he put on his coat and went out.

10 minute later.

Luo Yao appeared in the backyard of "Yu He Tang".

Xu Jihong was already waiting there.

"Team leader, I researched your process of tracking 'Lin Miao', and found that when you were tracking 'Lin Miao', he once called the outside world through the department store phone. You also called this phone number, but It's an empty number to call, right?"

"Yes, I also find it strange, I don't know why, the number should not be wrong." Luo Yao nodded, he had written all these in the action report.

It is not surprising that Xu Jihong can see it. After all, he is also a member of the group now and has the right to understand the past actions of the group so that he can discover new clues.

After all, there are still many doubts in the case of "Kappa" Lin Miao that have not been clarified, especially because there is a "Mr." manipulating him above him.

"Well, what did you find?" Luo Yao asked.

"I also found it strange at first, if it's not the team leader, you made a mistake, then there must be a problem in a certain link." Xu Jihong said, "So, I went to the telephone company to check again, and found that the number was indeed empty. number, the telephone exchange has never assigned this number to any person or institution."

"continue."

"Later, I found out that the French Concession Telephone Exchange used the most advanced automatic switchboard and did not require manual switching. So I wondered if someone would take advantage of this and transfer the call to this empty number to another In this way, even if we know the number that dialed in, it is impossible to know who the person actually answered the phone?" Xu Jihong explained.

"Can it be done technically?"

"Yes, there are such automatic switches in foreign countries. Through certain settings, the incoming number can be converted into another number." Xu Jihong said. (The author is not a telecommunications expert, and the explanation may not be in place, please forgive me)

"That is to say, the number Lin Miao dialed is actually not the same number as the number he wanted to dial, but the two can be switched, does that mean?" Luo Yao said, and he suddenly realized that this is not an automatic transfer Well, it is a very mature technology for later generations.

It's just that now, it's amazing that someone can think of using it in secret communication.

"That's almost what it means, so I analyzed the line where this number is located." Xu Jihong took out a list of phone numbers and handed it to Luo Yao, "Although I don't know which number this call is ultimately made to, it must be in One of these numbers!"

Luo Yao nodded. The current automatic telephone switchboard is not as good as that of later generations. A group of switchboards controls dozens of phone numbers. This is fixed, so it is easy to check the calls on the same line.

And it's very easy to list.

"After this empty number is transferred, a simple automatic transfer device is used to transfer the call from this empty number to a certain number above, and the call will be connected. If someone traces it afterwards, It’s just an empty number, and nothing can be found out.”

"Can we use this call transfer technology?" Luo Yao asked.

"Yes, but the team leader, is it necessary?" Xu Jihong was slightly stunned and asked.

"Of course, since the enemy can use it, so can we. In this way, we can set up these empty numbers and conversion devices first." Luo Yao said.

"Okay, I'll make it later." Xu Jihong nodded. In terms of telecommunications technology, she is one of the best in the training class, and even the instructors may not be as good as her now.

"Which of these numbers can be screened out is the real one?"

"We didn't get that device, but we can use the method of checking the wires. However, I think that since something happened to Lin Miao and it's been so long, the other party should have removed the device." Xu Jihong said.

"It's been so long, we only check the line now, so the opponent won't suspect it, and even if the device is removed, it will leave traces, which are also clues." Luo Yao said, "Let the telephone company arrange a call route Overhaul, you go and watch it yourself, if there is any situation, report it as soon as possible.”

"Yes, Captain."

"Xu Jihong, if you can find out the real phone number and identify the target, you will have made a great contribution." Luo Yao said, "At that time, I will report to the bureau headquarters to ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, team leader." Xu Jihong showed a gleam of joy, and smiled charmingly, "When will the team leader be free, where can I find good coffee..."

Luo Yao didn't dare to pick up on this, he just turned his head and left.

"The team leader likes gentle and pure people. You are destined to fail to catch the attention of the team leader if you are so ostentatious." Gu Yuan passed by and teased.

Xu Jihong glanced at Gu Yuan: "You know what, a man says he doesn't like it, but he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart."

"Anyway, I think you have nothing to do with the team leader." Gu Yuan chuckled, he and Xu Jihong are also very familiar, and it's normal to derogate each other a few words.

"Then you just have to wait and see." Xu Jihong stomped his feet and walked away with a grunt.

"Then I have to thank you..." Looking at Xu Jihong's enchanting back, Gu Yuan muttered to himself.

……

If Xu Jihong could really find out the phone number that "Lin Miao" called "Sir", it would really be a great help to him.

Although he suspects that Lao Mu is the gentleman that "Lin Miao" said, there is no evidence, and he is in the French Concession. Although he has no background, he has a deep network of connections.

If you want to move him, you really have to have strong evidence. Unlike Han Liangze, Lao Mu can be arrested with just one order, and he dare not have any resistance.

Because he knows that the consequences of resistance are more serious.

But Lao Mu may not be.

Arresting people in the French Concession will not pass the hurdle of the patrol hall. If you notify in advance, the possibility of leaking secrets is extremely high, and the French may not agree.

Moreover, Luo Yao's direct subordinate group is not a government agency with public activities, and many things can only be done secretly, so the performance in the French Concession is much restricted.

If you think about it in this way, "Lao Mu" has his reason for placing his base camp in the French Concession.

……

"Ms. Qin, Xia Yu didn't come to school today. I want to visit her house after school. Can you go with me?" Jiang Xiaoyu came to Luo Yao and said to Luo Yao when it was almost time to get off work.

"Didn't Xia Yu get sick and ask other students to ask for leave?"

"She just said that she was sick, but she didn't say what it was. As the head teacher, I was a little worried and wanted to find out?" Jiang Xiaoyu explained.

"That's it..." Luo Yao wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Jiang Xiaoyu as a girl, the law and order in Jiangcheng was becoming more and more chaotic. If he ran into someone bad, it would be troublesome.

Besides, home visits are also a matter of being a teacher, so it's not appropriate to refuse.

Jiang Xiaoyu helped him a lot in school, even from the perspective of gratitude, it was not easy for him to refuse Jiang Xiaoyu, so he could only agree.

"I heard that Xia Yu's father works in a government department. Isn't it rude for us to rush over like this?" Luo Yao asked.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Call first and ask if Xia Yu's parents are free tonight, are they at home?" Luo Yao suggested.

"Yeah, thanks for your reminder, I'll call right away." Jiang Xiaoyu blushed and ran to make a call.

Chapter 0100

"what……"

"Are you trying to scare me to death, Xiaohui, sitting alone in the living room without turning on the light or making a sound?" Luo Yao returned home, and turned on the light as soon as he entered the door.

I saw a person sitting in the living room, in a state of confusion.

"Pretend, you still can't tell if I'm at home or not?" Gong Hui made a long sound through her nasal tube and snorted angrily.

"When I go home this time, I have to listen to the situation at home. Are you tired?" Luo Yao said, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I've brought you some pastries."

"You smell like a woman, and where's your coat?"

"Xiaohui, you are nervous. How can I smell like a woman?" Luo Yao put down the pastry and said tirelessly, "I put the things here for you. Do you like it or not?"

After speaking, Luo Yao took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"Through technical means, Xu Jihong found some clues, that is, the phone call made by 'Lin Miao' in the department store. Maybe he can find out the real number." Luo Yao said.

"Isn't that an empty number?" Gong Hui was surprised.

"It was an empty number, but the call was indeed made. In fact, someone set up a device to transfer the call to another number. When we called this number again, we could only find that it was an empty number. "Luo Yao said, "Xu Jihong has already researched the principle of this converter, and is doing experiments, and the results should be available soon."

"So we're going to find the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Well, if it goes well, it should be soon." Luo Yao nodded, "This weekend, you can accompany me to Twilight Cafe."

"You doubt Lao Mu?"

"Don't you doubt it too?" Luo Yao said, "It's getting late, go to bed early, tomorrow is the weekend, there are quite a lot of things to do."

"Father called. He's going back to Jiangcheng in two days. He said he might summon us?"

"Oh, did you say something?" Luo Yao asked.

"I don't know, I only found out when I saw it. It is probably related to the latent work in the next stage of our direct subordinate team after the fall of Jiangcheng." Gong Hui analyzed.

"The Jiangcheng District has also begun to divide into groups. It seems that the higher-ups are planning to give up Jiangcheng on their own initiative." Luo Yao nodded. He had guessed this a long time ago. Under the circumstances, it means to voluntarily withdraw.

If Jiangcheng cannot be defended, at most it will consume the time and military strength of the Japanese army. This is the old man's strategy of "trading space for time".

"Before giving up, there will definitely be a time to clear the walls and clear the country. We must not leave supplies and resources for the Japanese to use." Luo Yao said.

"Will the Japanese commit another massacre like that in Jinling?"

"It's hard to say, the troops that attacked Jiangcheng this time were the troops that attacked Jinling, especially the Sixth Division, which was full of evil in the massacre. No one can guarantee whether these beasts with human faces and hearts will come again in Jiangcheng." Yao knew that the purpose of the Japanese army's capture of Jiangcheng was to force the Nationalist government to surrender. If they raised the butcher's knife again frantically, it might backfire. No one in the top ranks of the Japanese army dared to take this risk.

"Old Qin, can you make me a bowl of noodles?"

"Ok?"

"Are you going to do it or not?" Gong Hui suddenly blushed and asked coyly.

Luo Yao felt a chill for no reason, and quickly withdrew his foot going up the stairs: "Okay, stop being coquettish, I'll do it, can I do it?"

……

"Boss Mu, I'm bothering you again."

"Mr. Qin, you are being polite. You and Ms. Hui don't bother you every day." Lao Mu is still so elegant, intellectual and meticulous.

"That's right, let's take care of your business." Luo Yao chuckled, "How is the business going these few days?"

Lao Mu chuckled: "That's it, the Japanese are about to call. Those who have money are ready to run away. I want to sell them."

"Really, this is in the concession, even if the Japanese come, they don't dare to enter the concession at will, why should Boss Mu worry?" Luo Yao asked in surprise.

"The Japanese are here, and if we Chinese can live a good life, this concession will be remembered by the Japanese sooner or later. Instead of staying, it is better to find a safe place earlier."

"There are not many safe places now. Has Boss Mu decided where to go?" Gong Hui smiled slightly, took a sip of coffee and asked.

"Do you two have any good suggestions?"

"I just found a job in Jiangcheng. Xiaohui is following me. We are all ordinary people. I don't think the Japanese will make things difficult for us." Luo Yao said, "So, we don't plan to leave for the time being. , wait and see."

"I originally planned to go to Xiangcheng, but now it seems that Xiangcheng may not be safe, so I have to go southwest." Lao Mu said with a sigh.

"Oh, Xiangcheng is a good place. Yuelu Academy is one of the four great academies in ancient China. It is a sacred place for scholars in ancient times." Luo Yao said, "If I have the chance, I must go and see it."

"Two, I'm sorry, I still have guests over there, please accompany me."

"You are busy, you are busy." Luo Yao said hurriedly.
