Chapter 134: Strange Moves
Taro Tanaka looked at Wang Qinglin a little strangely and asked, "Oh?" So the woman is gone? Then why are you so happy, Wang Sang? ”
"Taijun, my subordinates also found an important clue during their visits to the surrounding area, some people say that in addition to the woman living in No. 298 in the past few days, there is also a man who lives there! I immediately identified Tang Biao's portrait, and two people recognized Tang Biao as the man who lived at No. 298 these days! Wang Qinglin reported excitedly.
"What?!" Taro Tanaka was equally excited, this was the first time he had known the news of Tang Biao's whereabouts accurately since the search began.
He hurriedly walked out from the house at No. 284, and at the same time asked Wang Qinglin, "Then did they say that they saw Tang Biao today?" ”
Tanaka Taro suddenly felt that his actions today were reckless, in case Tang Biao was still living at No. 298 Wanchun Lane, and he was only leaving temporarily, and he searched this place with such fanfare, it was very likely that Tang Biao would be scared away.
Yan Fuzhi also followed Tanaka Taro out of the door, and said in the back: "Taijun, according to Captain Wang's report, it is certain that this No. 298 Wanchun Lane is the communication point of the Military Commander's Stone City Station!" We had to do a careful search of the place to find the radio station and the codebook. ”
And Wang Qinglin reported to Tanaka Taro as he walked: "The people around me said that the last time I saw Tang Biao was yesterday, and I didn't see it today at all." ”
When Tanaka Taro heard this, his heart suddenly cooled, he knew that Tang Biao was either transferred last night, or he was shocked by his actions today and fled, and he was destined to not catch Tang Biao today.
The most important thing now is to see if we can find the radio station and the codebook, and Tanaka Taro is a little pessimistic about this result, because it is said that the female newspaper operator left here yesterday with a large suitcase, and it is likely that she also took the radio station and the codebook with her.
As soon as he returned to the door of No. 298 Wanchun Lane, he heard a commotion in the house, and someone excitedly shouted, "I found the radio!" ”
Taro Tanaka, Wan Qinglin, Yan Fuzhi and others rushed into the house in three steps and two steps, just in time to see a subordinate of Wang Qinglin walking out of the back room holding a green radio station.
Taro Tanaka didn't bother to look closely, and asked repeatedly, "Where did you find the radio?" Did you find the codebook? ”
The traitor agent was taken aback by Taro Tanaka's anxious demeanor, and he looked at Wang Qinglin cowardly.
As a result, Wang Qinglin scolded: "Are you dumb? What did Taijun ask you? ”
The traitor shrank his head, and then replied, "Report ...... Report to Taijun that the radio station was found through a hole in the wall behind the cabinet in the back room, but no codebook was found. ”
"Have you searched carefully?" When Tanaka Taro heard that he couldn't find the codebook, he immediately became a little anxious, and his voice also raised.
"We've searched it all, but we really haven't found the codebook." The traitor agent replied in a whisper.
Taro Tanaka pushed the traitor agent who was in front of him and rushed into the back room, he didn't believe that he couldn't find the codebook when he found the radio station, so he had to search it himself.
The back room was simply furnished, with only a large bed leaning against the wall, and two wooden cabinets pushed into the corners, revealing a hole in the wall just big enough to accommodate the radio station.
In addition to that, there is a wooden desk and a chair. Next to the chair is an enamel basin for washing faces, and this basin contains some burnt ashes.
The drawer of the desk had been opened, and the contents had been toppled to the floor, but there was not a single piece of paper.
Taro Tanaka searched the cabinet carefully with the hope of an eventual event, not even under the bed, and kept banging on the wall with his hand to hear if there were any hollow sounds, and at the same time kept walking around the room, stomping the ground with his foot from time to time to see if there was anything hidden under the ground.
But these efforts were doomed to be in vain, and Taro Tanaka still achieved nothing.
He was very frustrated, even if he couldn't catch Tang Biao in this operation, but he was disappointed that the more important military command code book could not be found.
He looked at the burned ashes in the enamel basin and wondered if the codebook had been burned or had been taken away by the female operator when he left.
Obviously, this female newspaper operator was evacuated yesterday afternoon, and should have been separated from Tang Biao. It's just that Taro Tanaka can't figure it out, why did this female newspaper operator and Tang Biao think of evacuating? It stands to reason that Tang Biao should think that this communication point is only safe, what is wrong with this?
There is another thing that Tanaka Taro can't figure out, since the female newspaper operator and Tang Biao evacuated separately, then she had time to take the radio station away in a big suitcase, but why did the people evacuate, but the radio station stayed?
This is Yan Fuzhi sticking his head in from the door, and asked Tanaka Taro, "Taijun, can I come in?" ”
When Tanaka Taro saw Yan Fuzhi, he suddenly remembered that he still had Yan Fuzhi in his hand, a person who knew the military commander Stone Town Station very well.
So he hurriedly beckoned the other party to enter the house, and then asked suspiciously: "Yan Sang, I have a question that I can't find the answer to, so I want to ask you, why do you think Tang Biao and the female newspaper operator evacuated this communication point that seems to be very safe?" ”
"Could it be that the news of this arrest has leaked out?" Yan Fuzhi guessed.
Tanaka Taro shook his head and dismissed the conjecture: "Impossible! This arrest was only decided on the spot after I talked to you this morning, and Tang Biao and they evacuated here yesterday. ”
"Then there is only one possibility, Tang Biao may have felt that this place is not safe for a long time, so he will evacuate here. After all, in the past few days, the Imperial Army and the people from the Stone Town Branch of the Secret Service Headquarters have been searching for him in the city, and Tang Biao is very suspicious, or he has other more secret hiding places in this Stone City. Tang Biao may have become a frightened bird, so he kept changing his residence to avoid being caught by the imperial army. Yan Fuzhi analyzed.
"Hello, Yan Sang's analysis has some truth. But there is another question that cannot be explained, why did Tang Biao and the female newspaper operator not take the radio with them when they evacuated? Taro Tanaka continued to raise his own questions.
"Uh...... It's hard to guess. It stands to reason that this radio station is the only channel of communication between the Shicheng Station of the Military Command and the Chongqing Military Command Headquarters, and Tang Biao should properly protect it. But he didn't take the radio with him, could it be because he was too noticeable with him? Yan Fuzhi was also a little confused.
