Chapter 830: Self-blame for outdated intelligence
"Check them all carefully." Gao Bing said.
Gao Bing is still very rigorous.
So, Shuimen Lingzhi, Qin Tian, and Gao Bing checked the cell, the telegraph operator's clothes, body, etc., and found nothing unusual.
"Nothing." Minato Lingzhi sighed.
Qin Tian was also thinking carefully about the meaning of the telegraph operator's words.
Where was the number hidden, or when was the hint given?
Yamamura Nofu asked Minato Lingzhi to go to his office.
"I'll let my subordinates dispose of the body." Qin Tian called two subordinates and carried the body out.
Gao Bing was still checking the cell, and he thought the telegraph operator had left something in the cell.
The body was carried to the backyard.
"Director Qin, should we burn it, bury it, or transport it to the suburbs? This stuff will stink if we burn it. If we bury it, there's no place to bury it in the backyard, and it's creepy," said the subordinate.
"Take off your clothes first and burn them." Qin Tian said.
The subordinate took off his clothes.
"You two check the clothes again." Qin Tian ordered, and then he squatted down to check the body.
Qin Tian turned the body over and examined it carefully, and found three words on the body covered and stained with blood: telegraph machine.
This was exactly the place where the gunshot wound occurred, and it was covered by bleeding, so neither Minato Lingzhi nor Gao Bing noticed it.
Besides, it is normal for a telegraph operator to write the three words "telegraph machine".
A thought flashed through Qin Tian's mind, and he instantly knew that this was what the other party wanted to tell him.
"Burn it." Qin Tian stood up, instructed his subordinates, and left the backyard.
The telegraph machine is now in the Special High Section's evidence room.
Although Qin Tian has the authority, it will leave traces of his visit, so he needs to find a suitable reason.
Qin Tian quickly thought of a reason. He had previously conducted a comprehensive search of the channels and arrested several suspects.
It’s possible to get it, but Qin Tian can’t go now, for fear of being linked to him.
Qin Tian looked at the time and planned to go again in the evening or at night.
Yamamura Nofu's office.
Yamamura Nofu was standing at the window, with Minato Lingzhi behind him.
After all, these Japanese only trust Japanese.
"Do you think Gao Bing is suspicious in this matter?" asked Shancun Yefu.
"Of course, he was the only one who approached the telegraph operator alone, and the telegraph operator's last words seemed to be spoken specifically for him." Minato Lingzhi replied.
"But, wouldn't it make the telegraph operator seem a little too stupid? Wouldn't this be a mistake for Gao Bing?" Shancun Yefu replied.
"All's fair in war. Who knows if it's the thief crying "Stop thief" or not, but no matter what, Gao Bing's suspicion is increasing." Minato Lingzhi replied.
"Yes, if he were a white fox, we would be in big trouble. But he is the only one who can match the intelligence of the white fox." Shancun Yefu still thinks highly of him.
"You keep a close eye on it and see if there's any possibility that he can decipher the code. If he has deciphered it but doesn't tell us, then he is most likely the White Fox." Shancun Yefu came to a conclusion.
"We don't know whether they have deciphered it or not." Minato Lingzhi said.
"So keep a close eye on it." Shancun Yefu scolded.
Qin Tian was in the office, extremely anxious. He kept looking at the time and thinking, he knew that Yamamura Nobuo and Minato Lingzhi must also be keeping an eye on this matter.
The telegraph operator's words were too extreme. He clearly wanted to trick Gao Bing, but he ended up making things worse.
This made Minato Lingzhi and Yamamura Nofu once again doubt the White Fox's lurking and surveillance of such things.
Time passed little by little.
Qin Tian was finally ready to take action.
"Zhang Ruoyu, go to the archives department and bring me the files of the suspects from the previous channels so I can take a look." Qin Tian said deliberately.
He needed a cover.
"Ok."
Zhang Ruoyu quickly brought the file.
Qin Tian flipped through it and set his sights on the identity of the fake postman.
"Is the letter delivered by this fake postman at the evidence location?" Qin Tian asked.
"Yes."
Qin Tian took the file and went to the physical evidence department.
The Physical Evidence Department is under the jurisdiction of the Technical Identification Department, which is adjacent to the Archives Department, and has a separate person on duty.
"Deputy Director Qin." The girl on duty stood up.
"Well, I'll look for some physical evidence of the suspect from last time, such as the postman's letter." Qin Tian deliberately used the word "look for".
"Okay, I'll go take a look." said the girl on duty.
"Ms. Kawashima, I brought you some delicious food. Please try it. I'll find the food myself." Qin Tian liked to use some little tricks to coax girls.
"Thank you, Deputy Director Qin."
The Physical Evidence Department is not as strict as the Archives Department and is more casual.
Qin Tian gave the dessert to the other party and then entered the evidence room.
Qin Tian searched inside and soon found the telegraph machine.
Qin Tian put on gloves and operated carefully without leaving any fingerprints.
Soon, he found the number of the telegraph machine, and there were no other numbers besides this number.
Qin Tian wrote down the number, then found the letter, registered it, and quickly left the evidence room.
Qin Tian was getting ready to get off work when he ran into Shancun Yefu in the corridor.
"After get off work?" asked Shancun Yefu.
"Yes."
"Let me tell you something." Shancun Yefu stopped him.
Qin Tian is extremely anxious and is eager to go back to decipher the top-secret information. Why do you want to stop me at this time?
"In the past, the performance of the Police Department was not good. Intelligence from various sources indicated that the Police Department turned a blind eye to the arrests of communists and the Military Control Commission, or was bribed by them," said Yamamura Nofu.
Qin Tian was very clear about this matter. Not to mention bribery, there were many people who were in contact with the Communist Party and the military.
"I've heard of this, but after I take office, this kind of thing will never happen again in the police station." Qin Tian promised.
"Okay, this is the significance of Ningji Okamura letting you take up the position there. From now on, the Special Higher Police, the Special Service Bureau, the Police Station Team, and the Defense Force must all follow unified rules and form a united front when it comes to catching spies. We must not have any selfish motives." Yamamura Nofu's words show a broad perspective.
This is indeed what should be done, otherwise, there will be a second or third Li Shiqun.
"Okay, I understand." Qin Tian nodded.
"Then I'll go back first."
"What's in your hand?" Shancun Yefu asked delicately.
"I'll take back the suspect file that I searched through the contact channel last time and study it again." Qin Tian replied.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work." Shancun Yefu naturally had no doubts.
Qin Tian left work naturally and drove back home.
When she got home, Gu Shumei had already sent Wang Ma back in advance, and checked the house for eavesdropping devices and other equipment again to ensure the safety of the house.
Qin Tian locked himself in the study room immediately.
Gu Shumei was responsible for keeping watch to prevent unexpected visits or other unexpected incidents.
With the key, function, and fixed variables, decryption becomes smooth.
It turns out that to decipher this encrypted information, three conditions must be met at the same time:
Encryption algorithm, which is universal and can be promoted globally;
Ciphertext, this is the variable;
Fixed value: This is to ensure uniqueness and idempotence of decryption.
The person who invented this algorithm took all circumstances into consideration, especially the isolation between the lurker and the telegraph operator, so that even if the ciphertext was stolen, it could not be deciphered individually.
This can only be possible if the ciphertext and the telegraph operator leak at the same time. To be precise, this algorithm is bound one-to-one to the unique number of the telegraph machine. This fixed value is also the subtlety of the decryption work.
"What's wrong? Have you cracked the code?" Gu Shumei entered the study and brought in some coffee. When she saw her husband's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, she knew something was wrong.
"What year is today in the Gregorian calendar?"
"January 1941, 1." Gu Shumei replied.
"It's today, oh my god." Qin Tian was about to cry.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shumei comforted, while her eyes fell on the secret paper.
"The information is just outdated." Qin Tian burst into tears, unable to hide his disappointment.
"I should have been faster. I should have deciphered it faster." Qin Tian blamed himself so much, his eyes were red and swollen.
Self-blame and guilt are another kind of sorrow in this world.
