Chapter 166: The radio operator, killed

Zhang Yong pushed a cart of snacks into the telecommunications department.

He was immediately given the warmest welcome. Usually quiet, they were noisy as a flock of ducks.

Chirp, chirp...

Anyway, the director is not here. No one can control them for the time being.

Zhang Yong is once again the favourite person in the director's eyes. He is the one who brought the snacks, so even if the director wants to give someone a lecture, he will lecture Zhang Yong first.

Snacks. Chatting. Finally, they get down to business.

Jiang Yiying is in charge of the explanation. She is actually very young. Short haircut. Very capable. She is also a telecommunications talent.

I suddenly think of Li Jingzhi. I wonder if she has memorised the coding table.

Compared to Jiang Yiyang, Li Jingzhi is completely useless. If she is half as good as Jiang Yiyang, she will be very good.

'We can only determine the general location...'

'As long as we can determine the general location, even if it is just a direction.'

'We can be sure that it is in the southwest.'

'Continue.'

'It is probably in this range.'

'Thank you!'

Zhang Yong is satisfied.

This time, he consulted the telecommunications department and learned a lot.

He suddenly felt that his greatest skill was actually finding the radio station. Really.

As long as he could narrow down the approximate range, he could search in a circle. Until he found the radio operator. The prerequisite was that the radio operator was Japanese.

It took 80 minutes to send the message. This person was definitely Japanese.

The memo was high-level intelligence, and a Japanese spy could not fake it by using someone else's hand.

What's more, it involved a code.

Therefore, this radio operator was definitely Japanese.

If we can pinpoint him, we can get the radio station.

We should also be able to find the memo.

'Miss Jiang, apart from this new radio station, are there any other radio stations in this area?'

'Yes. According to our listening results, there should be two more.'

'In the same place as the new one?'

'We can't tell. We can only determine the general location.'

'Thank you!'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Comparing it with the big circle on the map.

The radius was about 5,000 kilometres.

If it's big, it's really big. If it's small, it's really small.

Compared to a certain street, a radius of 5 kilometres already encompasses hundreds of blocks. There are a lot of people and houses inside.

If you have to investigate and eliminate them one by one, it will take a lot of manpower. A long time.

Moreover, it's easy to miss some dead ends.

In spy dramas, such investigations will never bear fruit.

It's just a waste of time and effort.

It's small, relative to the entire Jinling City. The area that has been cordoned off is roughly equivalent to one-fifth of Jinling City.

By determining the scope and direction, there's no need to run around the entire city.

This is called being targeted.

Start moving immediately.

There are no listening cars or anything. Just two legs.

Haha. Just kidding. There are still cars. Zhang Yong and Dai Yice led the team out. Zhang Ping and Gu Bafeng were also called.

They started from the outermost area and worked their way inwards, circle by circle.

The southwest area was already in the suburbs.

The road was not easy to drive on. The car was jolting about. Some people started to feel carsick.

Zhang Yong, however, was fine. He didn't suffer from carsickness. He also didn't get seasick.

But the map never showed up.

One circle was complete.

Nothing was found.

The scope was narrowed.

Another circle...

And another...

Finally, a red dot appeared.

Zhang Yong silently reduced his speed. He looked in the direction of the red dot.

It was a church. A foreign church. The red dot was inside the church.

'What kind of church is this?'

'French. It's called the Church of the Sacred Heart.'

'Let's go in and have a look!'

'Yes!'

The group got out of the car.

Zhang Yong waved his hand. The group surrounded Zhang Yong from all directions.

Soon, Zhang Yong reached the door of the church.

The red dot was still inside the church, not moving. It was inside the main hall.

Entering the door.

He sees a woman with long hair.

She is wearing a white straw hat. She is sitting quietly. She is bowing her head. She is praying.

Zhang Yong passes by her without noticing anything unusual.

There is no luggage next to her. It is obviously impossible for her to be carrying a radio. Perhaps the radio is somewhere else?

Of course, it is also possible that he has made a mistake. She is not a radio operator. But he is certain that she must be Japanese. Disguised like this, she is up to no good.

'Miss,'

Zhang Yong calls out next to her.

As a result, the Japanese woman did not respond. She continued to bow her head.

'Miss...'

Zhang Yong continued to call out. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

The red dot on the map had disappeared.

It was extremely strange.

Why had it disappeared?

Could it be...

Suddenly, he saw the woman's body tilting.

Huh?

Instinctively, he reached out to support her. Only then did he realise that she was already dead.

Oh no!

She had been killed.

She had been stabbed in the heart.

The dagger was still in her body. But the area around the dagger was stuffed with rags.

Yes, someone had stabbed her with a dagger and at the same time used rags to cover the area around the wound to absorb the blood that was flowing out.

That was why there was no blood on the ground. Zhang Yong, who didn't have much experience, hadn't noticed.

When she died, the red dot on the map also disappeared.

'Team Leader Dai!'

'Coming!'

Dai Yice immediately came running over.

He noticed that something was wrong. He immediately began to examine the body.

Zhang Yong, meanwhile, drew his gun and checked the surroundings. The result was obvious. There was nothing to find.

There was no one else in or around this Tiansin Church.

'It shouldn't have been more than thirty minutes since the stabbing.'

'It was meant to be a stab to the heart. However, the woman's heart was offset a bit.'

'The murderer should have left about twenty minutes ago.'

Dai Yice quickly summed up.

He was an expert at such scenes. His judgment could not be wrong.

Zhang Yong felt very strange.

Someone had killed a Japanese woman. Just before he arrived.

Why?

Why did the murderer kill this woman? Did he know she was Japanese?

Yes...

No...

Yes...

It's frustrating. Just when a clue has been found, it's gone. And another unsolved case has been added.

Since the victim is Japanese, it definitely can't be handed over to the local police station. Zhang Yong definitely has to take it over. Maybe, behind this matter, it has something to do with the memo.

'Strange...' Dai Yice hesitated.

'What's strange?' Zhang Yong asked hurriedly.

'It feels like the other party didn't need to kill someone here. Unless they wanted others to know.'

'That's true.'

Zhang Yong nodded in agreement.

Usually, when someone is killed, they would choose a secret place to do it.

But this woman was killed inside a church. In the lobby, no less. As if they were afraid that no one would find out.

Was this an execution in public?

Did the other party deliberately kill her here to warn someone?

It was baffling.

'She was a radio operator,' Dai Yize suddenly said again.

'Oh?' Zhang Yong hurriedly crouched down.

'Look at her index finger. The finger has thick calluses. The hand support also has them.'

'That's right.'

'These are all the characteristics of a radio operator.'

'I see.'

Zhang Yong frowned. He felt that he had made a bad start again.

It seemed that he had really found the Japanese spy's radio operator. The scope delineated by the telecommunications department was indeed effective.

That Jiang Yiying was indeed capable.

The problem is that this Japanese spy radio operator was killed in advance.

I don't know why he was killed. And I don't know who killed him. But he was definitely killed.

Moreover, he was killed just before they arrived.

The first reaction was to kill someone to keep their mouth shut.

Zhang Yong suspected that there was a Japanese spy undercover around him. But then he ruled it out.

There was definitely no Japanese person around him.

Unless someone was bribed by the Japanese and passed on the message.

However, from the time Jiang Yiying narrowed down the range of the radio to the time he set off, it was only an hour.

No one should have been able to get there before him. Therefore, the possibility of a leak from within is very low. It's more likely to be a coincidence. Or, it could be a Japanese spy infighting...

Wait...

Infighting...

I thought of Wu Yuanfu.

After fighting with the coffin shop owner, the whereabouts of this guy are unknown.

Could it be that he came here? And just happened to meet this Japanese spy radio operator. So he killed her?

It's not impossible...

Of course, it's more likely that he's just imagining things.

But in any case, the search must continue.

Take a deep breath.

Strip the female corpse naked.

Examine her carefully.

It's found that the female corpse had signs of intimacy with a man before she died.

She was passive. It's possible that she was forced. Because there are bruises on multiple parts of her body. This indicates that the man was very violent.

Wu Yuanfu...

This guy, after assaulting, he killed her?

Pervert...

'Search!'

The crowd began to dig up the ground.

They searched all the suspicious places inside and outside the church.

Nothing was found.

They even searched the dome above the church. Nothing.

'Let's do a lineup!'

'Good!'

This was the last resort.

They hoped someone would recognise the spy's disguise.

Then they searched her home. Or rather, they searched her life.

Sure enough, there was a reward.

It was learned from an external investigation that the woman, named Li Qiong, worked at a nearby dance hall.

Moreover, a very valuable clue was obtained. It was that an hour or two ago, a strange man had come to see her. After entering her house, he did not come out for a long time. Then the two of them headed towards the direction of the church. Because of Li Qiong's occupation, no one suspected her.

It didn't matter where she did business.

But no one expected that she would be killed.
