He came here according to Lao Hou's order to monitor the outside of the train station, and the situation inside the train station Lao Wu also expressed his concern that his cover identity would not be able to enter for a long time, but Lao Hou did not answer his question, but was vague.
Since Lao Hou didn't want to say anything, Lao Wu didn't ask anymore, just carry out his task, as for the monitoring situation in the train station, he guessed that the party organization should arrange for others to go in.
According to Lao Wu's own understanding of the task, his point of setting up a stall outside the station is very likely to be a backup point arranged by Lao Hou, in case the Japanese do it outside the station instead of inside the station, then it can just fall into Lao Wu's eyes.
After Lao Wu set up his stall, he secretly paid attention to the situation outside the Stone Town Railway Station.
He often comes to this place, and every time he needs to deliver any news to the Social Department of the Southern Bureau, he has to buy a ticket here and get on the bus to Shanghai.
Outwardly, outside the train station, as usual, the number of Japanese gendarmes was about the same as before, and nothing had changed.
But Lao Wu faintly felt that there was an inexplicable tension outside the train station today, such as the kind of passengers who didn't look like they were going to leave Stone Town by train, and they were all fresh faces.
These people just wandered around, their eyes were very vigilant, and they didn't look like people who came to pick them up at the train station.
All this can't escape Lao Wu's fiery eyes.
Just as Lao Wu noticed, Yuan Shiheng's subordinates of the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters poured out of their nests and laid a tight net in the train station, waiting for the high-ranking Communist Party cadre to come out of the net at noon.
Not only that, after Taro Tanaka reported to Yukio Fujita, he also sent a large number of plainclothes agents of the special high school to roam around outside the train station, closely monitoring the people entering and leaving the train station, especially Yuan Shiheng's subordinates.
Although he had asked Yuan Shiheng to bring his men to the train station before announcing the specific mission, Tanaka Taro still decided to prohibit Yuan Shiheng's men from leaving the train station before they caught the target.
The Japanese stationmaster, who had already passed through the train station, took control of the Chinese staff at the train station, and took two Chinese railway employees with him to identify the uniformed people in the train station, and at the same time forbade all Chinese railway staff to leave the train station.
Such identifications, of course, were carried out in secret, so as not to alarm the Communists lurking in the train station.
According to that information, Taro Tanaka of the Special High School judged that if the Communist Party was to get two sets of railway staff uniforms as planned, there would inevitably be an underground party among the Chinese railway staff at the train station.
In order to arrest the high-ranking Communist Party cadre who was about to come, then it was absolutely impossible to alarm the underground Party member who was hiding in the railway station who was preparing to receive the high-ranking Communist Party cadre.
All the arrangements are implemented in accordance with the way of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, not only Taro Tanaka, but also Yuan Shiheng is also waiting quietly in the stationmaster's room of the train station.
At noon, there was a train from the direction of Shanghai, and according to the information received, the senior Communist Party cadre should have arrived in Stone Town by this train.
Near the end of the platform is the Smuggling Investigation Division's material checkpoint at Stone Town Station, because every time a train arrives at Stone Town Station, the freight cars are generally hung in the last two sections of the train.
As soon as the train arrives, the cargo will be unloaded to the rear of the platform, just in time for the people at the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Checkpoint to carry out inspections.
In the morning, a train had already passed through Stone Town Station, unloading a bunch of goods, Gao Hongcheng personally led the people at the checkpoint to inspect the goods, and then looked for stevedores to transport them to the freight yard and waited for the owner to pick them up.
These stevedores are all bitter haha, but the personnel are relatively fixed, and basically they can only come in as stevedores through the various connections of Chinese employees in the train station, and their backgrounds will of course be carefully investigated by the Japanese to ensure that no anti-Japanese elements are mixed in.
But when Gao Hongcheng asked these stevedores to carry the goods unloaded by the train in the morning to the freight yard, he obviously felt something strange about it.
It stands to reason that these stevedores are very regular, and they have undergone background checks from the Japanese gendarmerie before they come in to work as stevedores.
But today, just as these stevedores were about to carry the goods, they were stopped by a military officer in charge of the Japanese military police checkpoint.
Gao Hongcheng was a little strange about this, and asked the Japanese military police officer Cao why he ordered to stop carrying goods through the translator, but the Japanese military police officer Cao ignored Gao Hongcheng's inquiry with a straight face, and just asked the translator to issue a simple and unusually clear ban, and then left quickly.
Gao Hongcheng didn't get an answer, because it was the first day to work at the anti-smuggling investigation checkpoint at the railway station, and he didn't know much about the general process, so he specifically asked the members of the anti-smuggling investigation department at this checkpoint.
As a result, the answer he got was that the Japanese military police had not had such a sudden ban in the past, but today this ban appeared, which also made the personnel of the anti-smuggling investigation department at the checkpoint and the monk Zhangji puzzled.
Therefore, Gao Hongcheng obviously felt that something was wrong with the Japanese military police at the train station today, and this was his first judgment.
What made Gao Hongcheng feel a little vigilant was that before the train arrived at Shicheng Station at noon, there were more people in plainclothes cruising around on the platform that should have been deserted.
This also made Gao Hongcheng feel very strange.
And he didn't know that it was a trap set up by the Japanese to arrest high-ranking Communist Party cadres at noon today, so Gao Hongcheng was strange, and he could only bury this kind of thought deep in his heart, and he didn't dare to reveal it at all.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was soon time for the noon train to arrive at the Stone Town railway station.
The train was on time today, slowly coming into the station at the scheduled arrival time in Stone Town until it came to a complete stop at the platform.
Passengers on the train, with large bags of luggage, got off the train and consciously lined up in a long line, waiting to pass through the Japanese military police checkpoint.
Every railway station has one such checkpoint, and the main task is to check the identity documents of passengers, so passengers have long been familiar with this routine, and as soon as they get off the train, they wait in line for the Japanese military police to check it.
