Chapter Twenty-Nine: Insight into the Inside
In the next two days, Lu Yuan had been secretly staring at those people of the Korean National Salvation Army, and the long time spent too much energy on Lu Yuan, and he suddenly found that the stalking was even more thunderous than fighting with the Japanese army. In order to conceal his whereabouts, Lu Yuan spent a lot of money to find a private house opposite the residence of the North Koreans as a surveillance point. But even so, even if Xu Huanshan arranged for someone to deliver food to Lu Yuan on time, Lu Yuan still felt that he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Stalking is still an outdoor operation, but the monitoring can only stay in this room, using the telescope to observe the other party's residence for a long time, Lu Yuan's eyes are bloodshot. It wasn't until dinner the next day that Lu Yuan, who had been staying in the monitoring point, suddenly discovered something unusual. Cho Chang-hyuk said that there are more than a dozen members of the Korean National Salvation Army, but he has been monitoring this place for two days in a row, and he only sees six or seven of them going back and forth.
Once there is a doubt in his heart, without finding an answer, the doubt will gradually turn into irritability, and as the doubt deepens, Lu Yuan begins to doubt his judgment. As time passed, it was completely dark, and when he found that someone was going out in the other party's residence, Lu Yuan immediately left the surveillance point and followed. The North Korean who left the residence was the middle-aged man who was held to the head by Lu Yuan with a gun that day, and Lu Yuan carefully hid his figure, but fell far behind the man.
Seeing that the middle-aged man greeted a rickshaw, Lu Yuan immediately got into the alley on the side of the street, and when he came out again, Lu Yuan was already pushing a bicycle in his hand. Although rickshaws and bicycles are the same as two wheels, but the speed of rickshaws is not as fast as bicycles, Lu Yuan rode a bicycle and followed the rickshaw for several streets in a row, but suddenly found that the direction of the rickshaw was Hongkou District, where the Japanese gathered.
What is this going to do in Hongkou District? With doubts, Lu Yuan kicked under his feet, never letting the rickshaw in front of him out of his sight. The rickshaw stopped in front of the Japanese checkpoint, and Lu Yuan also stopped on the side of the road when he saw this, and saw that the middle-aged man entered Hongkou District with a document in the dark, and Lu Yuan immediately took out the fake documents he had prepared from the storage space and went straight to the Japanese army checkpoint. Relying on his fluent Japanese and the flawless fake documents, Lu Yuan also entered Hongkou District after the middle-aged man.
Following the middle-aged man across two streets in a row, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that this goods came to Hongkou District for a purpose, and looking at the posture of this goods, they were going straight to their destination. Sure enough, as Lu Yuan expected, after walking another street corner, Lu Yuan saw the middle-aged man enter a hotel on the side of the street. Lu Yuan did not follow up, but immediately opened the full-view map, and found that the middle-aged man did not go upstairs, but walked straight through the lobby of the hotel to the backyard.
Lu Yuan looked left and right and saw that there was no one, so he crossed the street, followed a narrow alley, and moved to the back of the hotel. There was a back door in the backyard of the hotel, and with the help of the cover of the night, Lu Yuan touched it lightly, first leaned against the back door and listened for a while, then reached out and climbed the wall, and slowly poked his head out to look into the courtyard. The courtyard was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but on the all-view map, at the moment, there were at least five or six people moving in the courtyard.
What's going on? Could it be that something is wrong? Obviously, the full-view map showed that there were people in the yard, but he couldn't see it, and Lu Yuan, who was hanging on the wall, looked puzzled at the moment. But just when Lu Yuan suspected that his full-view map was wrong, there was a sudden movement in the yard, and the flower bush that had been swept by Lu Yuan at a glance suddenly trembled, and from behind the flower bush, a head wrapped in a towel suddenly appeared.
The head on the flower bush that suddenly appeared was a little weird no matter how you looked at it, and when you were caught off guard, Lu Yuan on the wall almost fell down. After a few coughs, the extremely weird head shook, and then, a complete person appeared in Lu Yuan's sight. When this guy covered in mud but wrapped his head in a towel stepped over the flowers and stretched out in the yard, Lu Yuan realized that it was not his full-view map that made a mistake, but because the full-view map showed that these people were hiding underground.
The person who was the first to get out of the ground casually tore off the towel on his head and wiped his face, then returned to the back of the flowers, bent down and dragged a long rope, and took out a big bag with great difficulty. Lu Yuan had already finished the bag that contained weapons and equipment that should be the weapons and equipment of the Korean National Salvation Army, but after watching the man pour out a pile of dirt from the bag, Lu Yuan knew that he wanted to left.
The man behind the flowers pulled out a few bags full of dirt one after another, and then two more people came out of the ground, and then Lu Yuan saw that the middle-aged man who had been followed by him all the way also appeared in the courtyard. What are these Korean National Salvation Army people doing? With deep doubts, Lu Yuan slowly slid down the wall, returned to the main street the same way, and then rode his bicycle out of Hongkou District.
"You're saying that the Korean National Salvation Army people are hiding underground? And you see them bring up a lot of dirt? Lu Yuan came to visit late at night, this was the first time, after listening to Lu Yuan's narration, Xu Huanshan was stunned at first, and then pondered for a while. After a while, Xu Huanshan spoke, "You say, is it possible that they are digging holes in the ground, equipped to hide a large number of weapons and ammunition in Hongkou District, and then wait for time to create a big operation." ”
The explanation given by Xu Huanshan did not get Lu Yuan's affirmation, "Impossible, those people from the South Korean National Salvation Army didn't bring any weapons to Shanghai at all, and they still wanted to get weapons through that Cao Changhyuk, it is absolutely impossible to prepare a hole in the ground to hide the weapons and ammunition they need to reserve, this is impossible." "Although there are sporadic arms deals in Shanghai's black market, they are all piecemeal transactions such as pistols and bullets, and even the underground party cannot do it if you want to hoard weapons and equipment in a hole.
"So what do you think they're going to do?" Seeing that Lu Yuan did not agree with his inference, Xu Huanshan had no idea, but his words reminded Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan, who had some epiphany, immediately called Hans, fortunately he still remembered the house number of the hotel, and after telling Hans the other party's house number, Lu Yuan quickly got an answer. And this answer, Lu Yuan didn't put down the handle of the phone for half a ring, he didn't expect those people from the Korean National Salvation Army to be so bold.
"Don't be foolish, I now have a rough idea of what they're doing." Lu Yuan threw down a sentence without a clue, and then left Xu Huanshan's residence. Early the next morning, after putting on makeup, Lu Yuan entered Hongkou District once, pretending to walk past the hotel unintentionally, Lu Yuan looked at the opposite side of the hotel, and it was indeed a Japanese bank. If it weren't for the help of Hans, a know-it-all in the concession, Lu Yuan couldn't think of what those people from the Korean National Salvation Army were doing, and after confirming that the hotel was opposite a Japanese bank, Lu Yuan already had an accurate answer in his heart.
"The Japanese bank you are talking about should be the Bank of Fukuyama, which is the earliest Japanese bank in Hongkou District." After receiving Lu Yuan's call, Hans was not idle, and in just one night, he helped Lu Yuan collect a lot of intelligence information about the Bank of Japan. "Although Fukuyama Bank is not very famous, and it is not ranked among many Japanese banks, I am 100% sure that Fukuyama Bank has the shadow of the Japanese royal family behind it."
A Japanese bank that doesn't look very large, Lu Yuan has never figured out why those people in South Korea are interested in it, and after listening to the answer given by Hans, Lu Yuan knows that he has a little understanding. "I've heard that both the Japanese Army and the Navy will hand over a portion of their captures on the battlefields in China to the Imperial Family. This Fukuyama Bank looks small, but they are responsible for transshipment of this part of the seizure, and you can imagine the benefits of this. ”
The benefits of being on the list of the imperial family are naturally great, after all, it is impossible for the Bank of Fukuyama to directly ship the gold and silver jewelry directly handed over by the army back to Japan and hand it over to the imperial family. Before handing it in, they had to cast all the gold and silver into gold and silver ingots, after all, the Japanese imperial family had to put aside the notoriety of bloodstained things. There will be losses in the casting of gold bricks and silver ingots, and this part of the loss is the profit of Fukuyama Bank, and they also have a relationship with the Japanese military.
All the questions in Lu Yuan's heart were answered by Hans, and after solving the doubts, Lu Yuan suddenly felt relaxed, but he had a new idea in his heart. "Mr. Han, I already know the purpose of the Korean National Salvation Army's coming to Shanghai, don't care how I know it, I will only remind you once now. From now on, I ask a question, you answer it truthfully, and if you refuse to answer or make a fool of me, I will kill you immediately. Facing Cao Changhe again, Lu Yuan's words and expressions were full of anger, which made Cao Changhe panic.
After being cut a few times in a row by Lu Yuan with a short knife, Cao Changhe, who was already panicked, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately told everything he knew. After knowing the truth of the whole matter, Lu Yuan couldn't help but praise these guys from the Korean National Salvation Army for being really big enough and really able to work hard. would actually think of digging a tunnel to rob the vault of the Bank of Japan across the street, but Lu Yuan also secretly scolded these Koreans for being brainless, even if they dug through the bank vault of the Japanese, how much gold could a dozen of them move out.
