Propelled headlong into the relentless currents of history, Ji Yu finds himself transplanted to the tumultuous prelude to WWII.
Once an ordinary civil servant in his modern existence, Ji Yu i...
Once Feng Shinian and Rong Wenyan had spoken frankly, they no longer had many reservations. Feng Shinian coughed lightly, his expression turned serious, and he pointed to the cigarette vendor in front of him, saying, "Captain Rong, Jiang Weicheng's resume shows that he was a special agent trained at the Nanjing headquarters. If we want to monitor him, we need to be more meticulous in our work, and there are some issues that need to be corrected."
Look, this surveillance point was poorly chosen. Jiang Weicheng has lived here for quite some time. People like him tend to memorize familiar things around them, such as neighbors and the surrounding terrain. This cigarette vendor's appearance was too abrupt. He might remember this person. I suggest that the surveillance point be placed in a nearby house or shop where he can't see it, so that we don't encounter him directly.
Also, the residents here are mostly ordinary people, not many wealthy families. This car is quite conspicuous here, so I suggest changing it.
Moreover, it's best to keep a distance from these veteran agents; otherwise, a single counter-tracking move will be detected..."
Feng Shinian pointed out several problems in one breath. He was a veteran agent from the intelligence department and had enough experience. He had never made a mistake since he went undercover in Shanghai. If it weren't for Wang Hanmin's betrayal and the burden of his family, he wouldn't have been arrested so easily. Now that he had taken over the job, he could see the oversights of these field agents at a glance and immediately raised objections.
After hearing Feng Shinian's words, Rong Wenyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. His face flushed, and he quickly nodded and agreed, "It was an oversight. I couldn't find a suitable house nearby to use as a surveillance point, so I had to make do with this. There are indeed some problems. I will make new arrangements right away."
Seeing that Rong Wenyan accepted his suggestion without any argument, Feng Shinian nodded to himself. It seemed that this partner was easy to get along with. So he waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is just one person's opinion, just to prevent any problems from arising. By the way, what did you think of that rickshaw driver earlier?"
“He’s one of ours too, but don’t worry, this guy used to be a rickshaw puller, so he won’t be recognized!”
Feng Shinian nodded and said, "How about this, I'll be in charge of tracking and monitoring Jiang Weicheng, and Captain Rong, you'll stay here and keep watch, okay?"
Based on the flawed setup just now, Feng Shinian began to underestimate these field personnel and decided to personally monitor Jiang Weicheng.
But Rong Wenyan shook his head and said, "I'll arrange for someone else to be in charge of the personnel staying here. I also want to learn from Captain Feng. Captain Feng, you won't refuse to give me this opportunity, will you?"
"Not at all, you flatter me, you flatter me!"
Seeing that Rong Wenyan was determined to do so, Feng Shinian could not say anything more. So the two of them got out of the car, waved to call a rickshaw nearby, and followed him all the way.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Jiang Weicheng returned to the vicinity of his home in a rickshaw. After getting off, he took out a small bill to send the driver away, looked around, took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.
He turned and closed the door, then sat down wearily on the living room sofa. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he straightened up abruptly. He then bent down and carefully examined the teapot on the tea table in front of him. It took him a long time to slowly pick it up, examine it for a while, and then put it back in its original place.
The direction of the spout has changed; this teapot has been tampered with!
Jiang Weicheng's heart sank. He quickly checked the other markings and found that they had indeed been moved. After examining them, he slowly sat back on the sofa and pondered what this change meant.
Today he discovered that his office had also been searched. All the items in the drawers were there, but there were signs that they had been moved. Although the search was thorough, Jiang Weicheng still noticed.
Now people are searching my residence, and their actions are becoming increasingly aggressive. It seems that my exposure is now confirmed!
For some time now, he had been hesitant, unsure whether the other party was merely suspicious of him or conducting a small-scale screening. He had been wavering about his fate, but at this point, Jiang Weicheng felt somewhat relieved. He had to leave; any further wishful thinking would only lead to his demise.
Once he made up his mind, he didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly tidied up, checked the gun, and then went to the window, standing to the side and observing outside for a while.
He knew that someone was watching him from the shadows. In the past few days, the other party's traces were quite obvious, but in the last two days, nothing unusual had been found. He originally thought he had safely dealt with the investigation, but now it seemed that he had been too optimistic.
Jiang Weicheng went out as usual, hailed a rickshaw, got in, and ordered, "World Casino!"
The rickshaw driver agreed and quickly drove away.
Feng Shinian and Rong Wenyan, who had been waiting in the shadows, also revealed themselves. Rong Wenyan said, "He must have gone to the Wanguo Casino again. This guy doesn't have any other hobbies, but he's really addicted to gambling."
Feng Shinian shook his head. He had been following Jiang Weicheng for the past two days and had observed a lot of things.
“I’ve investigated. Although he used to gamble, he didn’t go to casinos often, and his wins and losses were small. This shows that he has a lot of self-control. However, he has been going to casinos much more often in the last six months. I think it’s more like a cover-up. Since we can confirm his identity, this phenomenon is abnormal. I suspect that the Wanguo Casino is a contact point for him. He needs to create the illusion that he gambles frequently to make it easier for him to go to the casino.”
Rong Wenyan glanced at Feng Shinian and thought to himself, "This guy is clear-headed and has a meticulous mind. He can indeed be called a veteran intelligence officer. He can even notice such an inconspicuous situation."
