At the end of January 1941, Baisha Town, Jiangjin County was crowded with people, and mountain people and passers-by were endless, making it very lively.

This town, 73 kilometers away from the main city of Shancheng, is named after the white sand on the nearby riverside. Its town has a long history. Its population was gathered in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After the relocation of the State Government, it became the new site of many schools.

Shancheng Women's Normal School is located here. It is the highest institution of women's normal schools in the Kuomintang-controlled area. It adopts a four-year school system, has several majors and thousands of students, and is very famous in the academic circle of the Republic of China.

Contrary to fame, the buildings of the Women's Normal School are extremely simple. The school building is a few newly built earth-walled buildings in a farmland, without even a wall, which greatly facilitates the investigation work in a place.

On a hillside outside Baisha Town, Wu Chunyang, who was dressed up as a local resident, walked into a small courtyard with a basket on his back. From here, you can clearly see the women's normal school at the foot of the mountain, and even the girls' dormitory is visible.

In the yard, Wu Chunyang put down his backpack and walked to the surveillance staff, took the telescope from the other party, looked down at the mountain through the surveillance hole on the wall, and asked softly.

"The target is now and whereabouts today."

"The person is in the classroom on the far left of the second floor of the teaching building A."

After the surveillance personnel answered, they opened the surveillance record: "At 7:00 this morning, the target got up and washed up. They had verbal communication and physical contact with the three people. The names of these three people have been given to the brothers of the second department.

At 7:30, the target went to a corner of the garden for a morning reading. It took half an hour to leave. After he left, the investigators who lurked as school workers had checked and found no suspicious items.

From 7:40 to 8:00, she went to the restaurant for breakfast, and was in class between 8:05 and 11:05 and 11:35 for lunch.

Then until 4:30, the target was either resting in the dormitory or attending classes. During this period, all the people who had contact with her were handed over to the second department for background review.

By the way, at 1:45 pm, the target went to the teacher's office and made a call. The call was her mother. We recorded the content of the call, and the analysts were speeding up to analyze it."

Listening to his subordinates' reports, Wu Chunyang pointed the telescope at a classroom and soon found Zhong Xiao from more than 20 students.

I have to say that Zhong Xiao’s appearance is outstanding, and he is one of the best in a normal school where all female students are.

In the telescope, she was wearing a clean school uniform, her long hair was combed into long braids, and when she turned her head, she inadvertently showed her bright eyes, fair skin, tall figure, and full of vitality.

Wu Chunyang's suspicion was even more serious. With Zhong Xiao's appearance and family background, what kind of man can't be found? Why did he like Bian Jichao who was not good-looking?

If you can become a leader guard, Bian Jichao's appearance is not bad, but he is not good either. At most, he is a middle-aged man.

How could a lieutenant officer with an average family background, an average future, and an average appearance be favored by a lady from a noble family? This is so strange.

Looking at Zhong Xiao who was smiling, Wu Chunyang handed the telescope to others and asked a question: "What will the target react after seeing Bian Jichao's note?"

"There was no reaction. We delivered the note to her as a comrade Bian Jichao. After reading it, she thanked her and did not inquire about the specific situation." The surveillance personnel answered truthfully.

Wu Chunyang lowered his head and thought for a while, then came to the house and put on his headphones, recorded the phone and listened to it.

During the recording, Zhong Xiao asked his mother and father whether they were healthy, and asked about his brother and sister's recent situation. Finally, he said that he would return home tomorrow and celebrate the Lunar New Year with his family.

Even though the New Life Movement advocates New Year's Day but the Lunar New Year is not so easy to eliminate, the Lunar New Year is still one of the most important festivals for the people of the Republic of China, so Zhong Xiao's behavior is normal.

Putting down the headphones, Wu Chunyang narrowed his eyes. Judging from the existing survey results, the target is not suspicious, so will the problem lie outside the school?

If he was an enemy, he would not choose to espionage in school. The time is not free and there are many people in the school, making it difficult to ensure safety.

After much thought, Wu Chunyang picked up the phone and called back to the headquarters, reported the situation to Zuo Chong, and requested additional personnel to be sent. He wanted to follow up and monitor Zhong Xiao on his way home.

It is more than 70 kilometers from Baisha Town to Shancheng District. With such a long route, I passed through multiple market towns along the way, and the operation will inevitably require a large number of manpower and vehicles, which has exceeded the authority of the director.

Zuo Chong did not hesitate and not only agreed to his request, but also sent Gui Youguang's special operations team to cooperate with the action of the same place.

That night, Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang drove several round trips on the main highway between Shancheng and Baisha Town, surveying the routes and formulating emergency plans.

In order to be foolproof, hundreds of spies were ambushed along the way in groups. Once Zhong Xiao suddenly changed his route, the nearest group could be activated at any time to ensure that he did not lose his target.

The next morning at 8 o'clock.

The gate of the Women's Normal School was crowded with people, and local female students or close to home walked out of the school gate, took a slider or walked back home, and Zhong Xiao was also among them.

Unlike other students, the Zhong family sent a brand new Buick sedan to pick up people. After getting in the car, Zhong Xiao took out a camera, poked his body out of the window and pressed the shutter around.

The spy responsible for tracking did not dodge, but naturally avoided the front and only faced the other side to avoid leaving frontal photos without arousing the suspicion of the target.

Normal schools in the Republic of China all had free food and housing. Most of the students were children from ordinary families, but there were also children from wealthy families, so the target was not conspicuous to carry the camera. It was just why they took photos at this time. Wu Chunyang on the top of the mountain in the distance looked solemn.

"Chunyang, the little girl is interesting. Is she exploring the way, or has she discovered the point (detective personnel)?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gui Youguang, who was standing beside Wu Chunyang, wiped his head and asked, his mouth full of slander and his face were full of flesh, and he looked like a mountain king who occupied the mountain and became the king.

Wu Chunyang ignored him, watched the Buick car drive eastward, and followed up. After talking, he took the spy down to the road and got on the car, hanging far behind the Zhong family car.

Along the way, the brand new Buick car did not stop for a moment, and Zhong Xiao and the driver in the car did not throw away the items outside the car and drove straight towards the mountain city.

After following like this for a few miles, Wu Chunyang's car turned into a fork, and changed to Gui Youguang's car to continue tracking.

During the next dozens of kilometers, the spies used cars, trucks, and even rode bicycles in sections to monitor the target's every move in some roads with poor road conditions and slower cars.

Not only were there cars and tea stalls behind the roadside, there were spies in the private houses observing secretly, with pairs of sharp eyes always staring at the highway.

Some spies drove in front of the Buick car, turned or stopped after arriving at the scheduled location, and handed over the tracking task to the next wave of operation personnel. The whole process was as smooth as a flowing cloud.

On the dusty road, spies constantly make subtle adjustments to their actions according to the situation on the scene. Plan is a plan, and there will always be various problems on the scene. The spies in the vehicle are keeping orders to the driver from time to time.

"It's three kilometers. This road is too straight. It's a bit conspicuous to follow it. You'll get off at the next intersection."

"Put the distance closer and don't follow too far, as it will easily cause suspicion."

"There is a fork in front of you, reduce the speed and press the target vehicle behind you to prevent the other party from turning suddenly, so that other brothers can keep up."

"At 150 meters, at 3 o'clock, passers-by next to the stone are raising their hands, taking pictures, sending secret codes, and letting people stare at them."

The driver of the Zhong family knew nothing about this. The road from Baisha Town to the city is part of the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway. There are a lot of traffic and a lot of people. It is difficult for the spy who have been strictly trained to hide it.

At noon, the Buick car entered the city area, turned left and right to the back alley of a large mansion covering an acre of land. There was a middle-aged couple waiting for a long time in the alley.

At the entrance of the alley, Wu Chunyang, who had changed his clothes, leaned against the window, stared at Zhong Xiao, and the files of middle-aged men and women appeared in his mind.

These two are Zhong Xiao's parents, one is the head of the Zhong family, and the other is the eldest daughter of another wealthy family in the mountain city. Their life experiences are clear and their backgrounds are clean.

According to the survey, Zhong’s father and mother have been active around the mountain city since they were born, and have never disappeared for a long time, and social relations have never been broken.

After thinking, Wu Chunyang greeted his subordinates: "Let the brothers downstairs pretend to be disguised and don't say hello to the local police station. The Zhong family is very well-informed."

"Yes, the owner of this red shop is our outsider, and it is very reliable." The little spy added after replying.

The so-called red shop refers to a shop that paints and processes white body. Among them, the craftsmen who paint porcelain are called "Hongdian Lao", and the craftsmanship of painting porcelain is called "Painting Red". There are many such shops in the mountain city.

I chose to establish a surveillance point here, one is because of the background of the store owner, and the other is that the Hongdian has the habit of working at night. There is a saying in the southwest that "The Hongdian guy is not slept with a firework all day long."

With this layer of cover, spies are active here, and coming in and out at night will not arouse suspicion. This is very important.

As Wu Chunyang said, the relationship between the Zhong family in the mountain city is deeply rooted, and the most difficult thing to monitor the Zhong family is not technology, but how to avoid countless pairs of eyes around.

Don’t underestimate a wealthy family who has been deeply rooted in the local area for hundreds of years. As long as the spies reveal a flaw, people from the police station or the Zhong family’s servants will come to visit them tomorrow.

Hearing Wu Chunyang's advice, Gui Youguang, who was watching, patted his short jacket indifferently and answered in a strong accent of Jingzhen, Ganzhou Province.

"Don't worry, Chunyang, no matter who comes to check, we are all real Hongdian guys, with ID documents and roads."

Jingzhen is the largest ceramic production center in the Republic of China. There are many Jingzhen people engaged in painting red in various places. It is perfect for spies to disguise themselves as Jingzhen people.

Wu Chunyang was still a little worried and personally checked the details of the surveillance site personnel's ID, clothing and other details. He did not return to the surveillance window until he confirmed it correctly.

Zhong Xiao and his parents had already walked into the house through a small door. From this point, we can see that the Zhong family was very strict. Although the female family could go out, they could only go to the back door when they came back.

As for going to the main gate, women in such a large family only have two chances in their lives, one is when they get married, and the other is when they become the wife of the main wife and enter their husband's family.

But the more such a family is, the more important it is to be a good match. Bian Jichao is not qualified yet, and the Zhong family is more suspicious.

Looking at the slowly closed back door, Wu Chunyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Thinking of another possibility, he immediately rushed to the phone and connected to the headquarters.

At the Military Affairs Bureau Guesthouse, Bian Jichao sat by the bed with a painful expression, holding a pendant in his hand, muttering Zhong Xiao’s name.

Just as he was complaining, the door of the room was opened with a bang. Gu Qi and Song Minghao walked into the room together, and without waiting for Bian Jichao to speak, he took out a photo and asked loudly.

"Do you recognize this person?"

Looking at the strange male face in the photo, Bian Jichao shook his head for no reason. He had never seen this person before.

Gu Qi and Song Minghao's eyes lit up and finally caught the fox's tail. Song Minghao sneered at the silly Bian Jichao.

"Lt. Bian, this is Miss Zhong's father. Why don't you even recognize your father-in-law?"

"What?!"

Bian Jichao was shocked and stood up suddenly. The pendant fell to the ground and was embedded in the photo of the pendant. Zhong Xiao, wearing a white dress, smiled like a flower...
