The secret war is silent

"Director Luo, this person's name is Bettoni, the secretary of the Italian Embassy in Italy. Recently, he met Pope twice at the Stars Cafe. Moreover, they sat together and drank coffee. Judging from the conversation between the two, it should be We know each other.”

Deng Yi drove to the headquarters of the Ciqi Interpretation Chamber. When he saw Luo Yao, he took out an envelope containing a photo.

Pour out some photos from inside.

The face of a Western man with a shoehorn face. The side view is not very clear. It must have been taken secretly.

"After my investigation, I found that Bettoni's identity in Italy is somewhat complicated. He is an admirer of Mussolini and has expressed his views on many public occasions. However, because he is a diplomat, it is not easy for us to deal with him. He takes any measures..."

"He didn't make any public remarks in support of Japan, right?"

"I haven't heard of this." Deng Yi was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Luo Yao sneered, "He is still a smart man. How he worships Mussolini is his business. We can't control European affairs, but as long as he dares to openly support Japan's invasion of China, we will arrest him without mercy." , he is not an important diplomat anyway.”

"Director Luo, were our past speculations wrong? This Pop has nothing to do with Japanese spies?"

"You think that he has close relations with Italian diplomats and that he may actually serve the Italians. He may be a spy, but he is not a Japanese spy, right?" Luo Yao understood what Deng Yi meant.

"Yes, Director Luo, there is no need for us to waste more manpower and material resources on such a meaningless person?"

"Deng Yi, don't forget that Japan, Germany, and Italy are the Axis countries that have signed a military alliance, and their intelligence agencies can also be shared. Italian diplomats collect intelligence for Japan. What's the problem? For them, it is not a betrayal of their country, but they can also get an extra income, and this is even tacitly approved by their intelligence agencies!" Luo Yaodao.

"this……"

"Have you forgotten the German artillery instructor we hired, Webner? He is a German. Why did he secretly give such important information about our anti-aircraft gun firing parameters to the Japanese?"

"If that's the case, are they conducting intelligence transactions?"

"It's not impossible." Luo Yao said.

"Then do we need to take action?" Deng Yi asked.

"Let's take this Pop away secretly for investigation first." Luo Yao said, "I'll let Tiger assist you. Don't put him in a detention center. There will be too many people to see him. The guest house is more secretive, so the interrogation work can be done there."

"Okay, I will also make a secret arrest plan." Deng Yi nodded.

"When you and Sixth Brother go to the Inspection Office, which department do you plan to work in?" Luo Yao asked.

"It's not decided yet. According to the work I did in the past, I should go to the General Affairs Section to get familiar with it before taking over the position of section chief." Deng Yi said.

"Very good." Luo Yao nodded, "Cao Hui is at your place, how about it?"

"There's nothing wrong with his work, it's just that he does things very well." Deng Yi said honestly.

"He is different from you. You are not only meticulous and meticulous, but also flexible and changeable. He is an honest man, but he is just as reliable as you. You can rest assured about this." Luo Yao smiled. Who is Cao Hui? Isn't it clear?

"Don't worry, I will teach him everything I need to teach, and I will never hide any secrets." Deng Yi promised.

"I believe."

…

"The third child is here, why didn't you tell me in advance so that the old man could prepare two more of your favorite dishes?" Luo Yao came home from get off work.

I asked when I saw Wen Zishan sitting on the sofa in the living room at home, taking off his coat, handing it to Gong Hui, and unbuttoning the style button.

"I came here to report the case to my elder brother. It's not convenient to go to your place." Wen Zishan explained.

"Oh, has there been any progress in the Daya Study case?" Luo Yao was a little surprised. It had been so many days, and he thought that the case would not progress any further.

"The owner of Daya Study finally spoke up and confessed how he received the order." Wen Zishan said.

"It's not easy to speak up. How did you do it?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I tried all my methods but couldn't pry his mouth open. I was afraid of killing him, so I didn't dare to use torture. Later, I asked Sister Hui for a bottle of sodium amytal. We finally got him to speak." Wen Zishan blushed with shame. He had tried so many methods but could not get the spy to speak. In the end, he had to use drugs to achieve his goal.

"Don't take it too seriously. Interrogation with drugs is also a method. There is no distinction between high and low." Luo Yao chuckled.

He does not object to the use of drugs. If drugs can help obtain a confession quickly, the use of drugs is not impossible.

This is the work of a cruel counter-espionage front, and it is not used on ordinary people.

The problem is that drugs like sodium amytal are not easily available even in the United States, let alone thousands of miles away in China.

Osborne didn't bring a few of them in total. He kept them in a box and brought them over when they were not searched by customs.

Therefore, one less medicine should be used, at least for now. Wen Zishan felt that it was a waste to use such a precious medicine on a less important spy.

"This Nakajima Akiha confessed that he received the order at the Stars Cafe, and that he followed the order and went to Ling Hui from Shingo Photo Studio..."

"This Starry Cafe again?" Luo Yao frowned. He had heard the name of this cafe more than once today.

Once is a coincidence, but twice? Is it still a coincidence?

Absolutely impossible.

Pope, a mining engineer disguised as a Honduran national, was suspected of being a spy working for the Japanese and often visited the Stars Cafe.

And now, Wen Zishan has traced the contacts with Takahashi Ryoko and found the Stars Cafe. Is there any connection between them?

This reminded him of the Twilight Cafe in Jiangcheng. The owner of the cafe, Mu Gongmu, codenamed "Kappa", was the leader of the largest spy organization in Jiangcheng.

If he hadn't already suspected it, he would have really let him slip away that time.

It's hard to say whether the Starry Cafe plays the same role as the Twilight Cafe, but it has obviously become a place for spies to meet and receive instructions.

"Brother, what is it?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Go on, how did he receive the order?" Luo Yao asked.

"Actually, it's very simple. Every time, a phone call comes to his study, telling him when to go to Fanxing Cafe to receive instructions. He really doesn't know who the other person is. Every time he goes to get instructions, he is alone. The other party will stuff the instructions under the designated deck. If you don’t know the exact deck number, you can’t know where the instructions are." Wen Zishan explained.

"So that's it. This way you avoid contact, and you can also remotely control the other party to do things. It's a very creative idea." Luo Yao nodded, "Where's that phone?"

"It's difficult to check the phone number. There are many customers in Daya Study. Some customers like to ask the boss to help find books. They often call to ask if their books have been found. There are many calls every day. It is difficult to identify which number the call is from? "

"Did anyone call from Fanxing Cafe?" Luo Yao's question went straight to the core.

"No, I checked and found no relevant records." Wen Zishan shook his head and said, "Fanxing Cafe has a good business, a lot of people, and a lot of foreigners go there, so it is very difficult to check."

"Where's the note accepting the order?"

"Nakajima Akiha said that he burned them all. This is a rule set by the superiors and no relevant clues are allowed to be retained."

"The person who put the instruction note may be a customer, or a staff member of the cafe. If it is a staff member of the cafe, it will be difficult. By the way, whether the person calling is a male or a female voice, you can tell from the voice How old is the other party?" Luo Yao asked.

"Sometimes it's a boy, sometimes it's a girl, not necessarily."

"It seems that there is no way to investigate further."

"That's why I came to ask you for advice, eldest brother." Wen Zishan chuckled, saying that we can just talk about such embarrassing things at home.

"Have you ever heard of the story of waiting for something to happen?" Luo Yao considered it for a moment and asked.

"Brother, what do you mean, let me send someone to guard the door of Fanxing Cafe?" Wen Zishan was stunned. He didn't even have the characteristics of the target, so how could he find it?

"Usually, a person's activity radius should not exceed two kilometers, unless his residence is far away from where he works. If I am the person who gives orders to Nakajima Akiha, he must know Nakajima's identity. , and will watch Nakajima take the instructions when he goes to get them, because he must ensure that the instructions reach the people he wants. Based on this, it can be inferred that he should be a frequent visitor to the Stars Cafe and will put the instructions away. After that, continue to stay at the scene and wait for the other party to come over. According to the frequency of Nakajima Akiha receiving instructions, under normal circumstances, it is at least once a week. If there is a special mission, it will be very frequent. Nakajima Akiha is us After catching him for such a long time, it is no longer realistic to use him as bait. The other party will definitely not be fooled. We can think about it in reverse. If you are the one who gives orders to Nakajima Akiha, after Nakajima Akiha disappears ,what will you do?"

"Of course it's an emergency evacuation."

"But Nakajima Akiha doesn't know his identity. He hasn't been exposed yet. If we evacuate now, won't all his previous work be in vain?"

"Then observe for a period of time, make sure you are safe, and then go out for activities, or cut off contact with anyone related to you."

"Of course this is possible, but after our two attacks on the Japanese spies' organization in the mountain city, they have hidden deeper and become more and more difficult to operate. If there is any sign of trouble, the cost of evacuating will be too high. If I were the head of a Japanese spy organization, I would not do this easily." Luo Yao analyzed, "Then we will have to compete to see who is more patient."

"Send people to stay on guard and take photos of all the guests who have gone in and out of Fanxing Cafe. Then we will count the number and time of their consumption. If one week is not enough, let's take one month. We will take out the data and analyze it. Maybe there will be discoveries." Luo Yao said.

"Brother, this method is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is simply a stupid method." Wen Zishan said with a grimace after listening.

"It's just a stupid way. Unless you find better clues, you have to use this stupid way to screen out this person!" Luo Yao said.

"What if this person doesn't show up?"

"Stupid!" Gong Hui came in and said, "This person may be hiding among the waiters in the cafe."

Wen Zishan's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said: "Brother, Sister Hui, I understand. Let's first check the people in the cafe. After Nakajima Qiuye disappeared, did anyone leave their job or act abnormally? If not, then We can only use big brother’s stupid method!”

"Not too stupid!" Luo Yao laughed.

"It's time to eat, the food is cold."
