Chapter 1779: Radio Station Lost
"You mean Pete is going back to France to join the Free France and resist the German invasion?" Old Huang asked while pinching Cheng Qianfan's shoulders.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan said, "He really impressed me."
What is Pete?
He was a senior French police officer in the French Concession Police Station, and thus represented an accomplice of French imperialism in oppressing the Chinese people.
Pitt was also a profit-seeking businessman. For France, he smuggled goods, including smuggling goods from the military warehouses of the French Ministry of Defense. For France, he was a parasite.
However, when his motherland was invaded and the French government had surrendered, he was willing to risk his life to return to the country and join the Free French Army, which was essentially guerrilla warfare against the Germans. This in itself reflects Pitt's immense love for his motherland and his determination to sacrifice for it.
This is a complicated person.
……
"Did you persuade Pete to stay?" asked Old Huang.
"Even if we try to persuade him, it may not work. It seems that he is determined to return to the country to join the war." Cheng Qianfan said.
From his point of view, it is of great benefit for Pete to stay in Shanghai. Jiujiu Trading's transportation lines need Pete to maintain. In addition, having a friend like Pete who is the squad leader of the French Concession Political Department's investigation squad is very beneficial to his undercover work in the French Concession.
"Whether from the perspective of 'Mr. Cheng' or from the perspective of Kentaro Miyazaki, we naturally want to persuade Peter to stay in Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan narrowed his eyes and said, "So, I will do my best to dissuade him. If I can't dissuade him, there is nothing I can do."
"Yes." Old Huang nodded, "Who can stop a true patriot from fighting for his country?"
Cheng Qianfan nodded. Yes, who can stop a true patriot from fighting for his country?
……
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Brother Fan." Haozi knocked on the door and came in.
"Is there something?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Haozi and asked.
"Boss Shao from Nanshi said the goods were too expensive this time and asked if they could be cheaper." Li Hao said, "Boss Shao said he would give a 10% discount and he would pay for half of the goods this time."
"Let him go." Cheng Qianfan said unhappily, "Our goods are easy to sell, and there are many people vying for them."
"That……"
"Tell him, if he thinks it's too expensive, don't buy it." Cheng Qianfan said unhappily, "What's the situation now? Europe is at war, it's good enough to have cargo coming in. Tell him that he doesn't want this batch of goods. We don't know when the next batch will arrive in Shanghai. Even if the goods arrive, they will only be more expensive."
"I know." Li Hao nodded, turned and left.
……
About half an hour later, Lao Huang left with the medicine box, and Li Hao returned again.
"Brother Fan, Boss Dai called urgently." Li Hao said after closing the door.
Cheng Qianfan took the telegram and looked at it, then went to the inner bathroom, turned on the lighter to light the telegram, and flushed away the ashes.
"Chi Bochao." Cheng Qianfan pondered, "Have you heard of this person?"
"No." Li Hao shook his head. "The telegram only said that this person might be hiding in Shanghai. Besides, even if this person is in Shanghai, I guess he is using a pseudonym."
"Boss Dai is very angry and wants us to get rid of this traitor at all costs." Cheng Qianfan murmured.
He said to Li Hao, "The telegram said that this man has a mole under his right eyebrow. Let's check it out."
"I understand." Li Hao nodded.
"Be careful." Cheng Qianfan said, "Since this person is hiding in Shanghai, he must be protected by the Japanese. Any disturbance may attract the attention of the Japanese."
"Don't worry, Brother Fan." Li Hao said.
"Call Boss Dai back," Cheng Qianfan said, "If Chi Bochao is indeed in Shanghai, our army will eliminate this traitor to comfort the spirits of Che, Jiao, and Zeng."
"clear."
……
Kenji Nohara and Shotaro Nakajo hurried to the section chief's office.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"Section Chief," said Kenji Nohara, "One of our old friends has reappeared and has been detected by Nakajo."
"Oh? Old friend? Is that the 'special' radio station?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"It's not a special radio station." Nohara Ken'er said, "It's another old friend."
"It seems that you have many old friends in the Telecommunications Research Laboratory." Arao Chihiro nodded slightly, "Tell me about this old friend."
"We gave this radio station the code name 'Central'," said Kenji Nohara.
"Yang?" Arao Chihiro asked in surprise.
"Yes, this radio station has been under our surveillance for a long time, and we later determined that it often appears in the central area of the French Concession," said Kenji Nohara.
……
"In fact, we were very close to capturing this radio station." Nohara Kenji said, "I once had a subordinate named Ogasawara go missing. Did you know about this, Section Chief?"
"I have an impression. I have read the relevant files." said Tomohiro Arao.
After taking up his new post as the chief of the Shanghai Special High Section, Tomohiro Arao carefully reviewed all the confidential files of the Special High Section. These documents and materials provided him with first-hand information about the Special High Section.
"Ogasawara disappeared when he was leading people to track down this 'Central' radio station." Nohara Ken'er said, "I tend to think that Ogasawara had already discovered this radio station at that time, and he was also discovered by the enemy, and then he was killed by the enemy."
"I remember the file said that there was no follow-up progress in the case of Ogasawara's disappearance," said Tomohiro Arao.
"Yes, the police said that Ogasawara might have been robbed and killed, and the murderer was not found later." Nohara Ken'er said, "Ogasawara also disappeared with a Chinese man named Xin Xiangyin who defected to the empire. To this day, these two people are still missing."
"In fact, the Special Higher Police have also been investigating this missing case," said Kenji Nohara. "Commander-in-Chief Kiku was in charge of investigating this matter before, but they have not been able to make any progress."
Arao Chihiro nodded. He had learned all these things from the files. At that time, Ogasawara disappeared and the radio station was not captured, but he did catch two Red Party members lurking in the French Concession.
……
"So, this Central Radio Station has appeared again this time?" Arao Chihiro asked. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Before today, was this Central Radio Station active?"
"Before today, the Central Radio Station also generated electricity, but its frequency of power generation was much lower than before. This also indirectly proves that the Central Radio Station was indeed disturbed, discovered Ogasawara, and killed Ogasawara." Nohara Kenji said.
"Since we already know that the radio station is located in the central area of the French Concession, why don't you use a radio locator to search for it secretly?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"We also used positioning equipment later, but the accuracy of the positioning equipment was not enough to further determine the location." Nohara Ken'er said, "The enemy should also know that we have radio wave positioning equipment, so they took precautions."
At this point, Ken'er Nohara said with regret, "When Ogasawara disappeared, it was the best opportunity. At that time, the enemy didn't know that we had equipment that could locate and search for radio waves, so they were completely unprepared..."
"Let's not talk about the past anymore. There's no use regretting it. We should look forward when doing things." Arao Chihiro frowned and said.
"Hai."
"You just said that the radio locator is not accurate enough, and the other party is on guard, so it cannot be further locked?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"Yes, Section Chief." Nohara Ken'er nodded.
……
"You said they were taking precautions. Based on your professional knowledge, what methods would the other party use to prevent my positioning equipment?" asked Tomohiro Arao.
"Section Chief, our radio wave locator, or more precisely, a radio wave direction-finding instrument, can only determine the approximate direction. To further determine the location, we need people to cast a wide net and listen carefully to the signal strength through headphones to search for the location of the radio station." said Kenji Nohara.
"Because the radio direction finder is quite large and requires headphones to detect, it is impossible for a single person to carry the device to search, so the only way is to use a vehicle to hide."
"When Ogasawara disappeared, they used a rickshaw as a tool to hide the equipment," said Nohara Ken'er. "I believe that if the enemy discovers this method, they will pay extra attention to it. It is possible that when the enemy sends a message, they will send out lookouts to pay attention to suspicious vehicles including rickshaws and even cars."
"According to Minister Kiku's previous statement, because the French Concession is densely populated and the roads are congested, cars cannot enter some places. Therefore, we can only use rickshaws as cover, which in turn helps the other side to guard more conveniently." Nohara Ken'er said.
His telecommunications research laboratory is a technical department. If he wants to conduct front-line detection, he will need more assistance from the intelligence room.
……
"Wait a minute." Arao Chihiro asked, "When using the radio direction finder, have you ever encountered the other party suddenly stopping sending messages?"
"Yes." Nohara Ken'er nodded, "This is enough to prove that they are very alert and have been carefully guarding against us."
"You just said that the Central Radio Station mainly operates in the central area of the French Concession?" Arao Chihiro asked, "Then, are there any places in the central area that are relatively more suspicious? I mean all the places that may be suspicious can be marked out."
"Yes." Nohara Ken'er nodded and looked at Nakajo Shotaro.
"Section Chief, please move." Nakajo Shotaro came to the map on the wall and said.
"Father Jin Road in the central area of the French Concession."
"Lafite Road."
“Masnan Road.”
"Xue Huali Road."
“And Kaisen Road.”
Nakajo Shotaro marked the streets on the map with a pencil and said.
"It seems that this old friend is either rich or noble." Arao Chihiro stared at the map carefully and suddenly laughed.
These streets are all relatively prosperous areas in the central area of the French Concession. If you can live here, or even if you can rent a house on these streets, the rent will not be too cheap.
What's more, Massinan Road and Lafede Road are the wealthy areas in the central area of the French Concession.
Kaisen Road is also a wealthy area in the central area of the French Concession.
……
"Yes, Section Chief." Nohara Ken'er nodded and said, "Commander Kiku had made a similar judgment before. He even made an analysis report for our old friend."
"Analysis included?" Arao Chihiro looked at Nohara Ken'er in surprise, "Why don't I see the relevant files?"
"Section Chief, that was what Chief Kiku mentioned when he was discussing the case with his subordinates, and it was not formed into a written report," said Kenji Nohara.
"Tell me about it." said Arao Chihiro.
"Have a decent job, earn a decent income, have a good relationship with the neighbors, and live or rent a house that is not too big and not too crowded."
"Because of the need to send messages, he probably lives alone." Nohara Ken'er paused here.
"What's wrong?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"This was Minister Kiku's initial judgment, and later he thought that the owner of this radio station should not live alone." said Kenji Nohara.
"What's the reason?" asked Arao Chihiro with an interested expression.
At the same time, he also became interested in the unfortunate deceased Hiroo Kikube. This former Special High Section agent, whom he had never met, seemed to have some abilities.
"Minister Kiku believes that it was the Ogasawara incident that alarmed the other party, causing him to change his solitary lifestyle and find a partner or accomplice. This person is responsible for keeping watch, and having a partner can also avoid causing criticism from outsiders." said Arao Tomohiro.
"So, Kikube believes that when Ogasawara disappeared and was killed, the agent of the Central Radio Station was alone, and it was this person who independently launched a counterattack against Ogasawara?" Arao Chihiro pondered and said, "Does this mean that the enemy is a man with impressive martial arts skills?"
"I don't know about that. Later, Commander Kiku died, and there was no chance for further analysis." Nohara Kenji said, "I am not an expert in intelligence work."
Arao Chihiro nodded slightly, motioning Nohara Ken'er to continue.
……
"However, at that time, in addition to the analysis that my subordinate just gave, Chief Kiku also gave a completely opposite analysis," said Kenji Nohara.
"Ok?"
"He believes that the other party may not live in the central area, but in another area of the French Concession. The other party deliberately came to the French Concession to send messages just to confuse us, and it is very likely that they used the method of sending messages inside the vehicle to facilitate transfer." Nohara Kenji said.
As he spoke, he glanced at Arao Chihiro and said, "However, I do not agree with Minister Kiku's opinion."
"What's the reason?"
"The radio direction finder shows that the radio signal does not show signs of frequent rapid movement, which basically rules out the possibility that the other party usually uses vehicles to send messages." said Kenji Nohara.
……
Tomohiro Arao stood in front of the map and looked at it carefully.
"Why haven't there been any summary reports on these suspicious street areas before?" asked Arao Chihiro.
He did not see any relevant content in the file.
"I have reported this verbally to Section Chief Sanben," said Kenji Nohara. "Instead of taking it seriously, he even scolded our Telecommunications Research Office for being incompetent and causing the intelligence department to run around in a hurry."
"Do you report every time you find the location of this radio station?" Arao Chihiro looked at Nohara Ken'er deeply, "but you didn't count all the street areas and report them together like you did today?"
"No." Nohara Ken'er shook his head, "The section chief didn't ask for that."
He felt a little aggrieved. "If he had said so, I would have done it. But he didn't say so."
Then, Kenji Nohara said, "Section Chief Sanben actually doesn't take our Telecommunications Research Laboratory very seriously."
Arao Tomohiro nodded without comment. Since the matter involved the former chief officer, and a former commander who had already died, it was not easy for him to express his opinion.
……
Arao Chihiro stared at the map, and suddenly his expression changed slightly.
"Nohara," said Arao Chihiro, "Look carefully, do you feel that these streets have a subtle feature?"
"I know." Ye Yuanquan said, "Among them, Jin Shenfu Road, Lafeide Road, and Masnan Road are all close to Xue Huali Road where the French Concession Central District Police Station is located, except for Kaisen Road."
"You're pretty good." Arao Chihiro praised Nohara Ken'er, "I didn't expect you to be so observant that you've already figured it out."
"No." Nohara Ken'er said, "This is what Chief Chihohara said."
"Chihohara Tsukasa?"
"Yes, Section Chief." Nohara Ken'er nodded, "Chief Chibe even has a suspect."
