Cicada Moving

Chapter 294 Research and Judgment 2

 It has been more than 24 hours since Miyamoto Hideaki disappeared. If it was like what Takashi said, his body should have been "accidentally" discovered by the Japanese.

From what Xiao Qingmin just said, Miyamoto Hideaki is not a reliable person. Now that the body has not appeared, it is a bit interesting. Has this guy run away?

Zuo Zhong turned to Xiao Qingmin and asked: "Based on your understanding of Miyamoto Hideaki, will he commit suicide according to the order of the top management, or does he have the courage to commit suicide?"

"Never will."

Xiao Qingmin’s answer was affirmative: “His career in the consulate has come to a standstill, and only his family is still intact. The meaning of life is family and affection.

If Miyamoto is a decisive person, in order to protect his family, he can indeed die calmly, but Miyamoto's character is cowardly and he lacks courage.

 So even if he is ordered by the superiors, he will never obey the orders obediently. I think he is probably hiding somewhere now, hesitant. "

 In short, she did not believe that Miyamoto would dare to commit suicide. For a waste who was so hesitant and timid about performing ordinary tasks, it was hard to imagine that he would end his life without hesitation.

　　Tuozhi also nodded: "Mr. Zuo, the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not soldiers. They have received a good education, are active in thinking, and think about problems very rationally.

I think it is impossible to let them die like samurai, so Aoki Mansion planned to find suitable candidates from the army. "

Zuo Zhong asked curiously: "Then why didn't Aoki Mansion implement it?"

Tuozhi said awkwardly: "There are no officers willing to cooperate in the army."

Well, ants are still greedy for life, and Japanese are fanatical, but not stupid. If they are killed in battle, they can at least enter a **** shrine, but committing suicide is not an option.

After listening to what the two people said, Zuo Zhong had an idea. There was a high probability that Miyamoto was still alive and hesitant. Where would he hide?

To judge this, we have to go back to the fact that he was ordered to commit suicide. First of all, he could not kill himself or drink a bullet. In that case, it would be easy to find out that he committed suicide through the tools left at the scene.

In this way, the Japanese have no reason to start a war. It seems that Miyamoto must be killed. What are the methods of suicide that do not require the use of tools? They are nothing more than burning, throwing into water, and falling off a cliff.

It is difficult to determine whether it is suicide or homicide in these ways of death.

 Zo Zhong thought for a while, and was the first to rule out burning. Miyamoto was too cowardly to commit suicide in such a tragic way, and if it burned to ashes, Little Japan would have no so-called evidence.

The only thing left is to jump into the water and jump off the cliff. Make some disguises on the scene and leave a body that can be identified. This is the evidence that the Japanese need. What Jinling lacks most is water and mountains.

In addition to the Yangtze River passing through the city, there are more than 100 large and small rivers and lakes near Jinling, including the Qinhuai River, Jinchuan River, Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, Baijia Lake, Shijiu Lake, Gucheng Lake, and Jinniu Lake.

Miyamoto could just find a river and throw it into the river, which would be enough for the Secret Service to find him for several years. But Zuo Zhong thought of one thing. Is it really because the Japanese Consulate Attaché went to Yanziji because he heard that it was an execution ground?

 Could it be that Yanziji was the agreed place to commit suicide? After all, this place is known as the No. 1 Jiji in the Yangtze River. It is 36 meters above sea level. The mountains and rocks stand directly on the river. It faces the sky on three sides. If you jump down, you will die or not.

As a result, Miyamoto Hideaki was hesitant and did not dare to commit suicide. The Japanese could only return without success. If this was the case, since they did not jump into the water, the Japanese would not have a backup plan for jumping off the cliff.

For example, if there are many people in Yanziji or the whereabouts are exposed and you need to move, a backup plan is very important. Jinling also has no shortage of mountains and hills. It is a bit short, but it is not a problem to kill many people.

As for whether the backup plan is to commit suicide by drowning, it is unlikely. Miyamoto Hideaki is not a tortoise. If the Japanese just stroll by the water, any fool will know that there is something wrong.

 Little Japan is used to it and will not act like this.

He thought for a while and called Wu Chunyang, and whispered a few instructions. Wu Chunyang nodded and led the people out. Although it was unlikely to find Miyamoto, Yanziji was still worthy of investigation.

Watching Wu Chunyang leave, Zuo Zhong suddenly asked Xiao Qingmin: "Miss Xiao, I have a question for you. You should be familiar with the terrain of Nancheng, after all, your radio station is hidden there, right?"

Xiao Qingmin's expression changed. She had just decided to cooperate with the Chinese. She had not yet disclosed a lot of information. How could Zuo Zhong know about the radio station and even the specific location.

Zuo Zhong glanced at her. Even if the Japanese spies surrendered, they would always give reminders to let them know what they could and could not do.

After all, he was a senior agent. Xiao Qingmin returned to normal in an instant: "Yes, I hid the radio station, code book and equipment in a cave in the southern suburbs, but the code must be invalid."

Zo Shige believes that the latent intelligence team has an independent code book and is of little use in deciphering other messages. When Doihara knew Butterfly was captured, the first thing he did was to invalidate the code.

"Mr. Zuo, do you suspect that Miyamoto is hiding in the mountainous area of ​​Nancheng of Jinling? This is very possible. There are no scenic spots or historical sites there, and there are very few pedestrians nearby." Xiao Qingmin thought quickly.

She then added: "At that time, I chose the southern suburbs of Jinling as the radio station's storage location for reasons of confidentiality. You can't see a single person there, even wolves, even if you walk for more than ten miles."

Zuo Zhong frowned after hearing this. He originally thought that if Miyamoto jumped off a cliff, the southern suburbs with many cliffs would be the best place, but when Xiao Qingmin said this, he felt that the possibility was unlikely.

Because the place is so remote, it is not easy for the Japanese to find the body. What if the body is dragged away by a wolf? They can't "revenge" the wolf, but there is no other suitable place besides the southern suburbs. Tuozhi was good at observing people's words. Seeing that Zuo Zhong didn't express his position, he knew that he was not sure about Miyamoto hiding in the southern suburbs, so he asked Xiao Qingmin: "Hello, Miss Xiao, does Miyamoto know how to survive in the wild?"

 “Survival in the wild?”

Xiao Qingmin shook his head and said: "You should know that intelligence missions are all in densely populated areas. There is not much survival training in the wild, and officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know how to survive in the wild? It is unimaginable."

“Well, that’s true. If you let these guys who eat steak and drink red wine go to the wild, they will only starve to death.” Tuozhi also agreed with this view. It seems that they will have some disdain for people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Zuo Zhong listened to the conversation between the two and thought about the mountainous area near Jinling. Based on the discussion just now, he came up with some ideas. There was a place that might be more suitable for hiding than the barren mountains in the southern suburbs.

After Tuozhi complained about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he carefully expressed his opinion: "Mr. Zuo, judging from Miss Xiao's narrative, I don't think Miyamoto would hide in the southern suburbs, where there is a lack of necessary living environment."

 “You are right.”

Zuo Zhong agreed with a smile: "Although the southern suburbs are inaccessible, there are no food sources and no inns for rest. Miyamoto is so pampered as the deputy consul general that it is impossible to stay.

 He is not a professional agent. If he leaves the city, he may not even be able to light a fire. If it were me, I would rather choose another place where there are not too many people and there is enough food source. "

 Xiao Qingmin and Tuo Zhi were a little curious and said in unison: "Where?"

Zuo Zhong said three words: "Zhongshan Mausoleum!"

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, this is what he thought of. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located in the eastern suburbs of Jinling City, on the southern **** of Xiaomao Mountain in the Purple Mountains. It faces Pingchuan in the front, Qingzhang in the back, Ming Xiaoling Tomb in the west, and Linggu Temple in the east.

It was not until the beginning of the 22nd year of the Republic of China that various projects including the archway, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion, fence, guard room, etc. were completed. At this time, there were very few tourists coming to visit and pay homage to the late president.

But even though flies are small, they are still meat. There are some restaurants around that deal with tourists. When the tourists leave at night, the area becomes an inaccessible place. It is easy to hide a person in the dense mountain forest.

Tuozhi was not familiar with Jinling and didn’t even know where the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was, so he had no choice but to look at Xiao Qingmin. The two of them must now work together and show sufficient utilization value.

Xiao Qingmin pretended not to see him. She had stayed in Jinling for several years and was of course familiar with the situation of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. After Zuo Zhong said this, she immediately realized that Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was indeed more suitable than the southern suburbs.

Moreover, apart from living conditions, Miyamoto had more reasons to commit suicide at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. She hesitated for a moment, not sure whether she should say it, but thinking of the radio station Zuo Zhong mentioned, she spoke anyway.

“Mr. Zuo, if Miyamoto’s body is found in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, everyone will think that it was Hideaki Miyamoto who was killed by the radicals of the Republic of China and used his life to pay tribute to the late president of your country.

 When things develop to that point, the emotions of the people in Japan will be incited, and war between the two countries will be inevitable. "Xiao Qingmin said solemnly that she viewed this issue from a political perspective.

Zuo Chong had already thought of what she said. The Japanese have always been good at deceiving the public. If Miyamoto really died in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, he could think of the headlines in Japanese newspapers, which would be very shocking.

For example, "This matter is a planned action of the Republic of China", "Anti-Japanese political conspiracy", "Sacrifice", etc.

But the Purple Mountain, where the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located, stretches to the west from near Taipingmen, covering an area of ​​31 square kilometers. In such a large area, it is extremely difficult to find a Japanese who has deliberately hidden himself.

The only clue that can be used is the source of food. The weather is neither hot nor cold now. Miyamoto can sleep in a cave in the mountain, but if he wants to eat, he must go to a restaurant near Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

After thinking about it, Zuo Zhong said to Tuozhi and Xiao Qingmin: "Thank you for your help. Miss Xiao will live here temporarily. After this incident is over, we will arrange a safe place for you alone.

As for your true background and the hiding place of the radio station, you can write it down with pen and paper. Now that we are a family, it is not appropriate to use an interrogation method. Let’s talk about it and increase our understanding. "

 The two of them were moved when they heard what Zuo Zhong said. It seems that they will be in the same department in the future. They wonder how the Chinese will arrange it and whether they will be responsible for the think tank reference as they are today.

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he stood up and said to Gui Youguang: "You are responsible for security here. If Miss Xiao needs anything, you can decide at your discretion without reporting. Cooperation must be sincere."

"yes."

Gui Youguang looked unhappy. He really didn't want to do this kind of work as a bodyguard.

Zuo Zhong ignored him and took He Yijun and a few of his men to help them get out of the safe spot. Time was tight now and he had to make some arrangements near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the hope of finding traces of Miyamoto.
