The secret war is silent

Gong Hui has been waiting for Luo Yao to come back.

Luo Yao was going to pick up his teacher Yu Jie from prison. She also wanted him to take her there, but Luo Yao didn't mention it and she was too embarrassed to say it.

If she followed today.

The meaning is different.

Luo Yao's father is not in the mountain city, and the teacher Yu Jie is his only elder. If he takes her to see Yu Jie at the family dinner tonight.

That is to reveal his identity to Yu Jie.

However, Luo Yao went alone, without even Qi Zhibin as his assistant, and without even a guard around him. It was obvious that he wanted to handle the matter in a low-key manner.

However, she was worried about Luo Yao's safety. Although Luo Yao's ability to protect himself was fine, walking at night was more dangerous than fighting during the day.

The public security situation in the mountain city is not very good. Various security cases occur one after another, and the police are overwhelmed. There are cases of robbery and murder every day.

During the family dinner, Luo Yao definitely couldn't refuse to drink. Although she knew that Luo Yao had a good drinking capacity, if he drank too much, the road would be difficult to drive back, and dangers were still everywhere.

Didi...

At the end of the dark road, a car horn suddenly sounded. Gong Hui heard it, and her heart suddenly dropped.

The sounds of Luo Yao's two jeeps were too familiar to her.

The strong light from the car lights shone over her, making her dazzled. Gong Hui quickly raised her hand to block it, which shocked Luo Yao.

Fortunately, when I came back, I stepped on the brakes. When did an extra person appear in front of the car?

Take a closer look.

It turned out to be Gong Hui.

"Gong Hui, what are you doing? What time is it? Why did you come outside?" Luo Yao parked the car next to Gong Hui and did not turn off the engine.

"I'm not on patrol at night. I heard you came back and came out to take a look." Gong Hui had already thought of an excuse.

Luo Yao glanced at Gong Hui. He was not stupid. How could he not know that Gong Hui was waiting for him here on purpose and was also worried about him.

I accepted this sentiment and didn’t point it out at the moment: “You’re not going to bed so late, are you on duty today?”

Luo Yao stipulated that one of him, Gong Hui and Cao Hui must work the night shift every day. As for how to arrange the shifts, it was generally not fixed and was discussed.

Sometimes Luo Yao would ask Qi Zhibin to take over his duties, which was basically no problem, because Gong Hui lived in the station, so even if something happened, she would know immediately.

"Well, I changed things with Lao Cao. I have a day off tomorrow." Gong Hui nodded, "I want to buy something to see Deputy Director Yu?"

Luo Yao curled his lips. Could he still know the woman's little thoughts? She was testing his own attitude. Whether he wanted to go or not, his words had different meanings.

"Okay, I'll give you the car tomorrow." Luo Yao had no objection. Yu Jie was also Gong Hui's teacher and the deputy head teacher of the temporary training class.

Broadly speaking, Gong Hui is also Yu Jie's student. He can't stop Gong Hui from seeing his teacher because of his own selfishness. This is too narrow-minded. Gong Hui is not his forbidden wife, so how can he restrict her freedom?

"Thanks."

"Where's Xia Fei? Why haven't you seen him in the past few days?" Luo Yao drove into the gate of the mansion, turned off the engine, and got out of the car. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Xia Fei in a few days and asked Gong Hui.

"Didn't you ask him to spy on Osborne? He's been away these days. Do you have anything to ask him about?" Gong Hui said.

"Let him come back tomorrow to understand the situation."

"Okay, I'll send someone to notify him."

"Okay, I'm going back to rest. You should also go back early." Luo Yao ordered.

"I'm on duty anyway, can I accompany you there?"

"No, it's not very far from here. It's only a few steps away." Luo Yao refused. It's no problem to go there during the day. If Gong Hui follows her into Ci'en Temple at night, it will be really hard to explain in the future. .

"Then you should rest early..."

…

After these few months of experience in the mountain city, Xia Fei is no longer like the little snitch on the streets of Hong Kong. Not only has he grown taller, but he has also become more cheerful.

Luo Yao didn't expect him to become a soldier in the true sense. In fact, his business habits had been set and it was very difficult to change.

But at least he still maintains a bit of "chivalrous" temperament, and he is still a talent that can change and be made. On the one hand, he is allowed to learn some secret agent skills, such as tracking, makeup, driving, photography, etc., and on the other hand, he is allowed to learn culture. , changing his outlook on life and the world.

Of course, he was also assigned to do some tasks. This kid was energetic, smart and slippery, and he was a smart guy. He could hang out with people from all walks of life, so he was a good detective.

"Brother Yao, you are looking for me." Xia Fei was respectful when he saw Luo Yao.

"Following Osborne these days, what has he done?"

"The life of this American is really colorful. He gets up every morning, goes to the clinic first, has his eyes checked, goes to a teahouse to drink tea and eat, goes home to rest in the afternoon, and goes out on a date in the evening. Basically, he never spends a good time at home. "Xia Fei described.

"Tell me more about it."

Luo Yao made a cup of tea for Xia Fei, walked over, placed it in front of him, and invited him to sit down with him.

"The person who examined Osborne's eyes was a German doctor named Hancock. He was about forty years old and lived on Yudu Street..."

Xia Fei talked while Luo Yao listened and took notes with pencil.

In addition to tracking Osborne, Xia Fei's focus is to observe the people he befriends. In addition to adding an extra layer of insurance for Osborne's safety, Osborne has already been targeted by the Japanese in Hong Kong. Now that he has arrived in the mountain city, does the Japanese intelligence agency really know nothing?

Even if they didn't know it in the past, they may not be able to keep this secret now. The Japanese may even know about Osborne's help in deciphering the Japanese military's communication code.

This is a hypothetical situation.

Then the people who appear around Osborne need to be paid attention to, and those who deliberately make friends need to be even more careful. Who knows if there may be spies bribed by the Japanese among them?

Of course, Osborne will not reveal his identity easily. As an intelligence agent and having experienced assassinations in Hong Kong, he should understand that what he does will bring him danger.

However, just because he didn't say it didn't mean that others couldn't discover his identity.

The Japanese must have Osborne's photos, and there must be spies lurking in the mountain city. Even if they don't, they will find ways to continuously infiltrate them.

Let Osborne out, he is actually a big "bait" himself.

This was one of the reasons why Luo Yao didn't stop Wei Daming from poaching him at all. With Wei Daming being an agent with a technical background, he really couldn't deal with Osborne.

First of all, he did not dare to take strong measures against Osborne, and Osborne, a man who was not free and undisciplined, was extremely averse to discipline.

Therefore, Wei Daming thought that by poaching Osborne, he would be able to drain the "secret research team" from the bottom of the tank. He was really wrong.

Teahouse Lao Yang, this person he has known for the longest time, Osborne Shancheng got to know him not long ago, Luo Yao has long understood this person's situation.

Although there is no detailed investigation, it is basically judged that there is no problem.

Osborne met Miss Lu in the teahouse. Miss Lu later went to study in Yudu and broke off the relationship with Osborne.

Osborne liked to go to Lao Yang's teahouse and met many people there.

Of course, it also includes some women who have had romantic relationships with him. Luo Yao doesn't want to interfere too much with Osborne's private life. As long as he doesn't play with feelings, he can only turn a blind eye. After all, those Women are only with him for money.

George Kevin is a Eurasian mixed race with an Asian yellow-skinned face. He looks like an Irishman, but he claims to be an Englishman.

He was the first Westerner Osborne met in the mountain city.

Their relationship is very good. George has a building in the center of Mountain City called the German Building. It is an apartment and is rented out to some wealthy people.

Luo Yao had checked this person's background, but since he had just arrived, what he could find was very limited. However, this George had settled in the mountain city a long time ago.

This guy is a "pimp" who specializes in providing some invisible services to dignitaries, especially some Chinese who like "foreigners".

There were many beautiful Western women renting in his Germanic mansion, which was why Osborne became good friends with him.

Swale, Osborne's new friend, the owner of a club, is an American.

This person was not someone he met at Boss Yang's venue or George's German Building. This person was when he went horse riding on the South Bank again. On the way back, he found such a club specifically for foreigners, and he walked in by himself.

In this way, this club became a place he often visited, and he became good friends with the owner Swale. Putting aside Osborne's bad temper, he is indeed a person who can easily gain the favor and trust of others. People, and there is also a kind of respect and equality for people in their bones.

He is a good person, but sometimes a good person is not a likable person, especially his temper, which is very stubborn. Among the people in the secret research team, there are many who don't like him, but of course there are also many who like him because Osborne is upright. , Dare to speak up, point out some bad habits and bad habits in the military unaccustomed to them directly, and have great prestige among those students.

"Swell has opened an ice-making factory in Jiangbei. In addition to supplying the ice to the club, it is also sold to some wealthy people in the city. Since the beginning of summer, the weather has been hot, and the business of this ice-making factory has been very good. .”

Luo Yao nodded.

"Osborne is now a regular visitor to this club. He basically goes to have a drink every day. This club is membership-only and does not accept cash. Everyone pays bills, and there are very few Chinese people. I just stay in Austria. I went in twice after Siben left," Xia Fei said.

Osborne knew him. If he went in and was seen, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling Osborne that Luo Yao sent Xia Fei to follow and monitor him?

"So he basically didn't care about the work in the research laboratory, right?" Luo Yao chuckled. Osborne was not stupid either. He certainly knew Wei Daming's purpose of poaching him from the "secret research team".

"Pretty much, no more than four hours of real work a day."

"Please give me a list of people who have been in contact with Osborne more than three times, whether they are foreigners or Chinese."

"yes."

"Go ahead, continue to follow up and protect Osborne's safety, and report any situation as soon as possible."

…

"Stationmaster, come here!"

The intercom on the desk suddenly rang, and Wen Xueren's voice came through the receiver. After installing the intercom, communication in the various offices of the secret research team became faster and more convenient.

"Okay, right away."

Luo Yao stood up, closed the door, and headed to the radio room.

"Webmaster, listen, this is a radio signal that was just discovered. It has never been seen before." In front of a transceiver, Wen Xueren took off his headphones and handed them to Luo Yaodao.

Luo Yao put on his headphones, listened carefully to the group, took them off and asked, "Has the message been copied?"

"Yes!" Wen Xueren took out a special telegram copy letter from where the operator was sitting and handed it to Luo Yao, "Stationmaster, look at it."

This is a mixed message with letters and numbers.

This mixed message is the most difficult to decipher.

This is not garbled code. Luo Yao just listened to it once. Generally, the telegram will be sent two or three times in a row. The first one is for recording, and the second one is for proofreading and confirmation.

Especially important information and intelligence content should be sent once, that is under special circumstances, and at least twice as long as conditions permit.

"Let's go find Director Chi. Let's have a small meeting." Luo Yao ordered.

…

In the conference room, Luo Yao, Chi An, Wen Xueren, and Jia Bingwen were all here.

"Director Wen just intercepted a message. Let's take a look. Have you seen similar messages before?" Luo Yao handed the newly intercepted message to Chi An.

"Mixed numbers and letters, this is an encryption method commonly used by spies." Chi An glanced at the message and said directly.

Jia Bingwen said: "This kind of encrypted message is difficult to decipher without a code book. With our current technical strength, we can try the letter content, but the subsequent digits are difficult to decipher."

"Webmaster, has the other party called back?" Chi An asked.

"Not yet, but I have ordered people to keep an eye on this band and call sign 24 hours a day." Wen Xueren said.

"Keep an eye on him. No matter whether we can decipher it or not, we must figure out where this signal came from." Luo Yao ordered, "We have indeed achieved some results before, but this is not enough. We all need to work harder. , strive to master the Japanese Army's secret code as soon as possible."

"Webmaster, we don't have a code book as a reference for analysis. It's too difficult to rely on the existing methods." Jia Bingwen said.

"Don't worry, the code book will be there." Luo Yao said.

Luo Yao knew that there were three captured Japanese code books that were sent to the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government by the Chinese Communist Party and were in the hands of the Secret Code Research Group of the Military Commission. Of course, the military commander also had a copy, but this copy was in the hands of Wei Daming. He was categorical. Those that will not be given to Luo Yao, and those that are in the hands of the secret inspection office, cannot be sent to the hands of the secret research team.

However, he was not helpless. The manuscript in Wei Daming's hand must be handed over to Osborne for study, and this opportunity came.

Osborne would definitely not cooperate with him in stealing a copy of the codebook. He would not mention this to him, but his translator Wu Fu could.
