Chapter 1055 Transcript
Luo Yao looked through the transcript, and most of what was recorded was what happened between him and Hase Shoufumi in the past three years.
In other words, he came to the mountain city three years ago.
Three years ago, around the time the Nationalist Government moved the capital to Shancheng, there were a lot of refugees at that time, and they basically all came in.
It is too difficult to investigate the identity.
At that time, it's hard to say how many Japanese spies like Hosotani mixed with the refugees and sneaked into the mountain town.
There are many fanatics in Japan who clamor to occupy China by force whenever the war begins. Both the official and private sectors have such voices, and they do the same.
Some people have been preparing for this war of aggression for many years. This is also their so-called ideal and pursuit.
Such enemies are formidable.
Hisashi Hase is apparently one such person.
He doesn't look like a Japanese at all. His living habits and language are completely Chinese. Even his way of thinking is exactly the same as that of the Chinese. The only thing that remains unchanged is the realization of the so-called establishment of a greater East Asian empire that includes China. .
Hosoya is not the same. He does not have such lofty ideals, but he was also brainwashed by the spirit of bushido. It took so many days after he was arrested that he confessed everything about himself in the mountain city.
Anyone who can be a spy has a good memory, so Hosaya was able to write down everything that Hase Hisufumi told him to do in the mountain city during the past three years.
Many of them were aimed at himself and Gong Hui.
Including an assassination in a movie theater and planting a time bomb in his car, both assassinations were ultimately avoided by him.
With his hearing, there was a mechanical time bomb suddenly placed under the car. How could he not hear it? Such an assassination would not be successful unless he was negligent.
At best, these things can only solve some mysteries of the past, but have little practical effect.
What he wanted to know about "Yishui layman" was not found in the transcript, only a few words.
Although this square and yellow seal is not very valuable, it is something Hase Shoufumi loved, and the person who carved the seal was not a famous artist.
It should be the private seal of a seal carving enthusiast. Luo Yao wanted to find clues from the seal, so naturally he took the seal and consulted some famous experts in this field.
The conclusion he reached frustrated him.
Ordinary and yellow stones have been mined for no more than thirty years, and their value is not high. The seal carver is not a professional seal carver, but a hobbyist.
Most famous seal cutting artists have their own styles. People with experience in seal cutting can naturally tell which school they belong to.
The "seal" in Luo Yao's hand belongs to ordinary seal cutting and is a relatively "craftsmanship" work.
There is no way to tell if there is no cultural accumulation in the seal carvings of this famous person. Luo Yao himself is not good at this aspect. It is basically impossible to find clues through the seal itself.
If this seal belongs to Hase Shoufumi, there is no solution. If not, then there must be someone behind him.
However, Wen Zishan and the others interrogated everyone except Hase Shouwen, and he did not have the nickname "Yishui Jushi".
Moreover, after searching the restaurant, no items related to "Yishui Jushi" were found at all. If it is a personal seal, it is impossible not to use it in life. Of course, it is understandable that it is a special item. After all, it is still a token.
If the seal doesn't work, there is also the pocket watch. Luo Yao has also investigated the manufacturer and age of the pocket watch.
Produced by Seikosha, Japan, in 1931, it was about ten years ago. The movement imported from Switzerland is not a very valuable thing. There are many pocket watches of this brand imported from China, and there are many similar ones on the market. The difference lies in the production. The age and time accuracy are different.
He asked a watch repairman to dismantle it, but nothing valuable was found inside. In other words, the pocket watch itself had no secrets at all.
Hosaya's transcript also proves this. This is a pocket watch that Hase Shoufumi deliberately placed with him.
If an outsider comes to him with his "seal" to redeem the pocket watch, it means that his identity has been exposed, and he must evacuate the mountain city as soon as possible.
In fact, he did so, but he failed to escape the military commander's search and was captured.
Wait, I seem to have overlooked something?
Inspiration flashed through my head, as if I had caught something, but I couldn't remember it. What was it?
Hisafumi Hase set up this subtle warning method so that Hosaya would have a chance to escape. After all, Hosaya had a large number of names of lurking Japanese spies, and these people were usually commanded by Hosaya. In other words, Hosaya had a chance to escape. The valley is equivalent to the identity of the total traffic.
Hase Shoufumi's restaurant is very profitable. The money he earns not only supports his own needs, but also supports his subordinates.
The funds for these potential agents were provided by Hisafumi Hase. No wonder, not much of the money he earned was found when he raided the restaurant.
He converted the money into hard currencies such as gold and silver dollars, and then handed it over to Hosoya to maintain the operation of such a huge intelligence network.
In terms of personal conduct, these Japanese spies are indeed much better than the military commanders. The head of the military commanders lurking in the Japanese-occupied areas may not be as good as Hase Hisabumi.
Doesn't he think about himself?
Or maybe his usual greed for money is all disguised.
Every expenditure made by Hosoya is recorded in a ledger. Otherwise, how would he account to Hisafumi Haseani?
Comparing the income of the restaurant and the gold and silver dollars exchanged by Hase Shouwen from the bank every time, this account is easy to calculate.
There are definitely differences between the two, and it is impossible to completely match them.
"What's that?" At noon, Gong Hui didn't see Luo Yao going to the cafeteria to eat. She was a little surprised. She asked someone and said that Luo Yao was in the office. After she finished eating, she packed the food and came to find him. .
Seeing that Luo Yao actually had an abacus and was counting something, he walked over curiously and asked.
"Let's settle the score."
"What account?"
"There is a serious mismatch between income and expenditure." Luo Yao said.
"Is it from the office?" Gong Hui was startled. She was in charge of the cashier and accountant. If there was a problem with the accounts, she would be the first to bear the blame.
"No, the office has to check the accounts at the end of the year. Besides, don't I still trust you?" Luo Yao said with a smile.
"I was scared to death. I thought something happened to my team." Gong Hui said, touching her chest.
"It's because the income of Jufeng Restaurant is seriously inconsistent with its expenditure. In the past three years, a sum of money has disappeared out of thin air every year." Luo Yao said.
"Will it be handed over? After all, Hase Shouwen is affiliated with the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department?"
"If you hand it in, you have to remit it, but I checked, and there is no remittance request. If it is not a bank transfer, then a special person will carry the cash. This method is too dangerous, and it is easy to be targeted. Once If something goes wrong, the identity will be exposed. There is no precedent for such a hidden organization of Japanese spies. They are generally self-sufficient. If they are not self-sufficient, they also need support funds from above, so the money must be spent locally."
"How much?"
"Preliminary estimate, it's at least 30,000 yuan."
"Thirty thousand, isn't that much?"
"Based on the current legal currency valuation, it is naturally not much. Two years ago, one year ago, this was just an estimate. Hosotani came to the mountain city three years ago, and Hase Hisabumi came to the mountain in five years. At that time, The restaurant business is much better than it is now," Luo Yao said.
"In other words, a large amount of money was either hidden by him or used up?" Gong Huiming understood.
"If we haven't missed any expenses, this should be it." Luo Yao nodded.
"You want to start with this money?"
"Yes, this is also a clue. Did Hisashi Hase hide the money or use it? If he used it, what did he use the money for? If this is clarified, it may be possible to uncover some of our The secret I want to know." Luo Yao said.
"How did you come up with the idea?"
"I thought of this from the fact that Hase Shoufumi is usually stingy, stingy, greedy for money, and likes to keep accounts. In addition, he commands and controls the lurkers and agents below through Sotani. Sotani also has an account to record this. After comparing the funds Hisafumi Hase had given him and what he spent in the past three years, I found that the income did not match the expenditure. There was a large discrepancy, and we did not seize this money, so, I calculated it several times and found that at least 30,000 yuan could not be found anywhere," Luo Yao said.
Breaking up a Japanese espionage organization and conducting an audit of its accounts is something that few people would do.
Everyone has been arrested and the espionage organization has been uncovered. Who cares about how much money the espionage organization made and how much it spent during the past few years?
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
"But this is not accurate yet. I want to go through all the money transactions with him except Hase Hisabumi to see if there are any omissions, and then do the calculations and take a look." Luo Yao said, he is not a professional Accounting is bound to have many loopholes.
Now it's just a rough estimate.
"I asked Jiang Xiaoyu to do this. She is now responsible for this and will give you an accurate figure." Gong Hui said, "But you must eat your lunch now."
"Ouch, I was so busy that I forgot, it's time to eat." Luo Yao then remembered that it was time to eat.
"If I hadn't asked Xiao Wu, I would have thought you were out." Gong Hui brought the food over and said, "If you go now, you won't have anything to eat."
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be hungry today." Luo Yao chuckled, picked up his rice bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
"I'm going to meet Han Yun again tomorrow, what should I say?" Gong Hui sat down and asked while watching Luo Yao eat.
"Try it out and tell her that the army wants this batch of medicines and the price is easy to negotiate. How will she react?" Luo Yao thought for a moment and said.
"Then what if she agrees?"
"If you agree, it means that this batch of medicines was not sold to Chairman Pan of Sichuan Province, but to Zhongtong. If I intercept the goods from Zhongtong, the feud will get deeper and deeper." Luo Yao He smiled.
"Then what if you don't agree?"
"Not agreeing means that she and the people behind her are taking advantage of me. If I didn't intercept this batch of medicines and deliberately let them pass, in the future, if this matter reaches Mr. Dai's ears, I will not be able to pass Mr. Dai's test. If I reach out to stop him, then the Central Committee will definitely hate me to the core, and no matter what I do, it will be of no benefit."
"Then you just need to report this matter to Mr. Dai."
"I'm afraid this is a batch of hot potatoes." Luo Yao said, "In this case, you first need to find out what this batch of drugs is. It's best to have a specific list."
"good."
