When Minister Pan saw Lao Hou say this, he also felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Yin Qunli spy on the suspect, and had to re-screen the candidates in his heart.
At this time, Lao Hou suddenly thought of a person and suggested to Minister Pan: "We forgot one person, the traffic officer Lao Wu!"
He is an old underground party member, and he has been trained in Yan'an before.
And his cover identity is ordinary, and no one will notice him. ” Minister Pan thought for a while, nodded and agreed to Lao Hou's suggestion: "I think it's okay, just set him, you can assign him a task first."
After I notify you, you will explain the situation to him and see if there is any unusual behavior of the suspect he is following and watching. ” There was nothing to say all night, and when it was dawn the next morning, Minister Pan left the Laohou tea shop and walked to the checkpoint in the west of the city.
Hu Yongqiang waited until the 'Mr.
Pan' arrived, then broke up with them and set off for Stone Town.
Minister Pan rushed to the meeting point for the next leg of the journey with the leading comrade and the guards.
Li Yixin also started to work normally that day, although he was very concerned about the success or failure of this escort mission, but there was no new news from Lao Hou's side, and he could only wait until Hu Yongqiang returned to the city, and he could only learn from Hu Yongqiang's report whether the leading comrade had successfully left the city last night.
After waiting until noon, Hu Yongqiang finally made a phone call to Li Yixin's office and reported that he had returned to the company safely.
Of course, Li Yixin would not ask about the two 'middlemen' on the phone, but could only instruct Hu Yongqiang to take out a large sum of money from the account of the Jianzhong Company and hand it over to his home in the evening.
This money is the payment that Li Yixin prepared to give to Hideki Nomura for this batch of guns and ammunition.
On this day, Lao Hou also started to act, and he also went to see No. 5 Hongshizhu Hengjie early in the morning, found the traffic officer Lao Wu, and gave him the task of tracking and surveillance.
No. 5 Hongshizhu Hengjie is located in the north of the city, which is close to Cheng Kun, who lives in the north of the city, so Lao Hou handed over the task of monitoring Cheng Kun to Lao Wu, and asked Lao Wu to return home every night to wait for him, and he had to listen to Lao Wu's report every day.
And he himself focused on spying on Tian Jie, who lived in the south of the city.
After arranging it, Lao Hou left notes for Cheng Kun and Tian Jie in two different dead mailboxes, telling them that the two of them should not leave Stone City recently, and that an extremely important task would be entrusted to them to complete after a while.
Lao Wu, the traffic officer, has a very good cover identity, and in Lao Hou's opinion, he is more suitable than himself to carry out such a tracking and surveillance mission, because Lao Wu can carry a burden through the streets or set up stalls to pretend to sell pigeon eggs to carry out the task.
In order to better monitor Tian Jie, Lao Hou himself could only disguise himself as a hawker and leave the tea shop early in the morning when there were no pedestrians on the street to carry out surveillance tasks.
During this time, he could only close the tea shop and hang a sign that the family was temporarily closed.
Cheng Kun was very happy after Lao Hou's code, because he thought that the mysterious 'spark' had sent a signal that he needed to be contacted, and he didn't get a response from the other party for several days.
This made him a little puzzled why the other party didn't make any moves, but Yuan Shiheng made a request twice through the dead mailbox, hoping that he could find out the true identity of the 'spark' as soon as possible, which made him a little anxious.
Now 'Spark' finally had a response, when he was very excited.
He quickly followed the signal sent by Lao Hou to find the dead mailbox and took out Lao Hou's instructions from it.
To his disappointment, Spark only left him a note in the dead mailbox telling him not to act rashly in the near future.
However, Spark also gave him the idea that there would be an extremely important task to be entrusted to him in a while.
This is a good sign in Cheng Kun's opinion, no matter how cautious and cautious 'Spark' is, he still trusts him in the end, and there will be important tasks entrusted to him to complete.
Of course, the handwriting on the note he got in his hand was crooked, and at a glance he knew that it was written with his left hand deliberately by 'Spark', and it was also to avoid the handwriting being exposed.
Cheng Kun scoffed at the little trick of 'Spark', in his opinion, no matter what little trick 'Spark' played, it would still have to be seen in the end, and this little trick was actually useless.
Of course, Cheng Kun will also follow the instructions of the 'spark' and start activities in line with his cover identity, going to and from work every day very regularly, he didn't expect that from the day he received the 'spark' note, an inconspicuous person had begun to follow him silently, and he knew the law of his activities clearly.
Time passed quickly, more than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lao Hou finally waited for a telegram from Minister Pan, with only two words on it: arrival.
After receiving this telegram from Lao Pan, Lao Hou went to find Lao Wu the next day and told the other party to closely monitor Cheng Kun in the past few days.
Then Lao Hou wrote another note and put it in a dead mailbox different from last time, and left a note for Cheng Kun, telling Cheng Kun that recently an important leader was going to pass by Stone Town at noon the day after tomorrow, and asked Cheng Kun to find a way to steal two sets of railway employees' uniforms and put them in the designated place.
As for Tian Jie, Lao Hou informed the other party through the dead mailbox that an important leader was going to Stone Town to see a doctor recently, and because this leader needed to find a reliable doctor, Tian Jie must pay attention to receiving the notice in the next few days and find a safe and reliable place for the leader to live, because this important leader could not go to the hospital to be hospitalized.
After Lao Hou did all this, he specially found an opportunity to have dinner with Li Yixin, and instructed Li Yixin to pay close attention to the train station and the hospital in the past few days, and if there is any situation, he must report to him immediately.
Cheng Kun, who received the notice, was extremely excited, and according to the instructions given to him by 'Spark', he understood a few points, first of all, a high-ranking cadre of the Communist Party would pass by Stone Town, and the time was very certain.
And let him steal two sets of railway employee uniforms, indicating that this high-ranking Communist Party official has only one accompanying guard with him, and it is very likely that these two people want to change their clothes when passing through Stone Town, and they want to change their fake identities and routes in Stone Town.
For this important piece of information, Cheng Kun didn't think much about it at all, so he wrote a small note and put it in the dead mailbox that contacted Yuan Shiheng, informing Yuan Shiheng of this heavy news.
