Chapter 379 Ghost Lightning
(Mr. has a basic grasp of nano mode and communication mode; otherwise, he wouldn't have enabled the parsing mode.)
(But the gentleman only thoroughly mastered their individual abilities without combining them. His understanding of the nano-mode and communication mode is far less than that of the scanning mode and dialysis mode.)
After hearing Edith's explanation, Zhao Xuan felt rather embarrassed, realizing that he hadn't explored the matter in enough depth.

However, Zhao Xuan also did a lot of development in the use of communication mode and nano mode. He never expected that telegrams could be sent using nano mode in conjunction with communication mode.

Then he worried for nothing last night.

Edith is not smart at all. If I didn't think of something, couldn't she have given me a heads-up?

Inside the meeting room, everyone was stunned by Yoshiaki Saki's words.

A telegram was sent from within the Special Higher Police to Yamashiro, and the sender was Tiger Girl. Doesn't this mean that Tiger Girl has been infiltrating the Special Higher Police all along?
Having a thorough understanding of the Special Higher Police, they naturally had no suspicion of Zhao Xuan, since only the Telecommunications Section of the entire Special Higher Police had a radio station.

And the management is quite strict.

No one could get the radio out from under the nose of the telecommunications department, or send a telegram directly from the telecommunications department.

It's even more impossible for someone to bring a radio into the Special Higher Police.

The radio station isn't particularly big or small.

Every time someone comes to work, their vehicle is inspected after they get off.

Of course, the official reason is for safety reasons, to eliminate potential safety hazards to the vehicle.

In reality, it was a thorough search of the vehicle.

That's why it's impossible for anyone to bring a radio into the Special Higher Police.

All the vehicles were inspected, not to mention the larger boxes.

In any case, anything that wants to enter the Special Higher Police has to be inspected to confirm that there are no dangerous or prohibited items before the box can be brought in.

Osamu Kishimoto squinted at Yoshiaki Saki:

"Saki-kun, is there a problem with your telecommunications department?"

Yoshiaki Saki initially thought so too, but later he asked the technical department to come and assist with the inspection, and finally ruled out that there was a problem within the telecommunications department.

Of course, Yoshiaki Saki didn't explain at this time, but pointed to the notebooks on their respective desks.

"Everyone, take a look at the notebooks on your desks. These were copied overnight by the people in the telecommunications department. One copy for each of you. You'll understand after you've read them."

Zhao Xuan didn't even need to use dialysis mode to roughly guess the contents of the notebook.

Sure enough, when you open it, it is indeed the coded telegram Edith sent to Yamashiro. However, the telegram is too long, almost half a notebook long.

As Zhao Xuan flipped through the pages, his eyes also swept over everyone present.

Watching these people's expressions change from indifference at first, to surprise, and finally to disbelief as they looked at Saki Yoshiaki.

The incredulous look on their faces came only three minutes after they opened the notebook.

There's no way you could finish reading the contents of a notebook in three minutes.

But a clever person can tell from the first page that it is Morse code, which requires a codebook to translate into something they can understand.

Now, all they see are a bunch of useless numbers.

And every page contains the same content.

The less intelligent people continued to flip through the pages, while the intelligent ones had long since put down their notebooks and looked at Aizawa Keiko and Saki Yoshiaki sitting to her right with serious expressions.

"Is this a telegram?"

Osamu Kishimoto asked a stupid question, but it's the same question everyone else wants to know.

Seeing Sasaki Yoshiaki nod, Kishimoto Osamu's lips twitched violently:
"Are you kidding me?!"

"Saki-kun, how many telegrams are on this list?"

Yoshiaki Saki took a deep breath; he still found it outrageous, let alone the others present.

Saki Yoshiaki still remembers that when he reported to Aizawa Keiko, the look of shock on Aizawa Keiko's face was no less than theirs.

"This is a telegram! And it was sent from our Special Higher Police Section the night before last. The person who sent this telegram is Tiger Girl!"

Kishimoto Osamu gasped, wanting to ask Saki Yoshiaki, "Has your telecommunications department been haunted by ghosts?"

But seeing the determination in Saki's eyes, Kishimoto Osamu's horror intensified.

The fact that the Special Higher Police could send such a long telegram is questionable, not to mention the time involved. Are the people in the Telecommunications Section just sitting around doing nothing? Someone sent a telegram in the Telecommunications Section for several hours, and you guys were all blind or something, how could you not notice the problem for so long?
Seeing the expressions of confusion and shock on everyone's faces, Yoshiaki Saki could guess what they were thinking.

"I know the doubts you all have, but I must tell you that this telegram was sent by Tiger Girl from the rooftop of the Special Higher Police office building, near the direction finder!"

Seeing that Kishimoto Osamu was about to ask something else, Saki Yoshiaki didn't give him the chance this time, and directly predicted what he was going to ask:

"I know what you're thinking. You think there's something wrong with the direction finder?"

“But I’m telling you, that very night, I invited Section Chief Yua over. Section Chief Yua and the technical team checked the radio, direction finder, and radio truck six times, and in the end, they could only come to one conclusion: there was nothing wrong with any of the equipment.”

"Therefore, it can be basically confirmed that Tiger Girl from the Military Intelligence Bureau was the one who sent this longest telegram in history from my Special Higher Police Section!"

"Of course, we are still working hard to decipher the contents of this telegram."

Osamu Kishimoto smiled:

"Saki-kun, when you say that, do you even believe it yourself?"

"Also, are you sure this telegram isn't just a bunch of gibberish?"

Saki Yoshiaki's face was grim, and his voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke:

I want to know too.

boom!
Aizawa Keiko slammed her hand on the conference table, and everyone fell silent.

Seeing this, Lan Zehuizi turned her head to look at Zhao Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, based on the information I gave you yesterday, do you think this telegram is the secret that An Ruoxian stole?"

Zhao Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Section Chief, you don't think anyone would be foolish enough to send out intelligence exceeding ten thousand words via telegram, do you?"

“In this situation, all intelligence personnel would only choose to deliver the information manually; it would be impossible to use telegrams.”

"Firstly, if the content of a telegram is too long, the time it takes to send it will be doubled. In Shanghai, whether it is the Military Intelligence Bureau or the underground party, once they send a telegram for more than 15 minutes, we can completely pinpoint the location of the sender and arrange for nearby military police to surround the area within three minutes."

"Secondly, hasn't An Ruoxian already decided to go to Shancheng? If she really goes to Shancheng, then she will still need to infiltrate Shanghai to hand over the intelligence to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then the Military Intelligence Bureau will use telegrams to transmit this secret to Shancheng. This kind of superfluous thing not only greatly increases the danger, but also infinitely increases the difficulty."

"Everyone knows how strict the controls are in Shanghai right now. And if An Ruoxian infiltrated Shanghai the day before yesterday, then the information that she showed up in Hefei is completely untenable."

At this point, Zhao Xuan looked around and saw that everyone was nodding thoughtfully, seemingly agreeing with his analysis, before continuing:
"From Hefei to Shanghai, at the very least, An Ruoxian could only have arrived yesterday. And yesterday was the most comprehensive and largest search operation ever conducted by our Special Higher Police. With such a large-scale search, how could An Ruoxian have sneaked into Shanghai so quietly without leaving a trace? Everyone, ask yourselves, do you believe such a thing?"

Zhao Xuan didn't explain everything here, but An Ruoxian did arrive yesterday, but only before dawn last night.

Because only during that specific time period could An Ruoxian use the sewers in the south of the city to infiltrate Shanghai.

Of course, apart from Zhao Xuan's subordinates Ito Izumi and Yagyu Senmei, no one else had the courage to infiltrate Shanghai from there.

Therefore, the telegram was sent the night before last, and An Ruoxian could only have arrived in Shanghai yesterday at the earliest.

The time of the telegram does not match An Ruoxian's schedule at all, so how could this telegram be related to An Ruoxian?
Aizawa Keiko naturally didn't believe it either, but after Saki Yoshiaki reported the problems and information that the telecommunications department had discovered to her, Aizawa Keiko directly called Watanabe Kyoko to inquire.

Finally, Keiko Aizawa hung up the phone in disbelief.

She had the same thought at the time, but the specific information given by Kyoko Watanabe made Keiko Aizawa uneasy.

Because that intelligence was the strategy for the campaign!
Based on Saki Yoshiaki's report, Aizawa Keiko could basically conclude that the telegram sent from the Special Higher Police that Saki Yoshiaki had monitored was the battle plan.

Because Liu Mingyan from the Military Intelligence Bureau's communications department only submitted one telegram, and that telegram was written down by Liu Mingyan overnight, and it is said that she stayed up all night to sort out and confirm it.

The timing was perfect, but at that time, An Ruoxian hadn't even arrived in Shanghai yet.

Even if An Ruoxian arrives in Shanghai, it will still take time to make contact, let alone hand over the intelligence to the Military Intelligence Bureau. This would require the Korean provisional government and the Shanghai station to negotiate for a while before it could be completed.

This seamless intelligence transmission was something that Aizawa Keiko couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried.

"call--"

Letting out a long breath, Lan Zehui looked at Zhao Xuan and said:

"Ah Xuan, it has been confirmed that the telegram received by the Yamashiro side, which is the secret that An Ruoxian stole from Wuhan, is the same telegram that Zuo Mu-kun mentioned, sent from our Special Higher Police."

As Aizawa Keiko finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

After a few minutes of silence, Zhao Xuan finally snapped out of his surprise and said with an incredulous look:

"How can this be?"

"Is it really haunted?"

Sasaki Yoshiaki looked at Zhao Xuan:

“Zhao Sang, after eliminating all the impossibilities—of course, we have already eliminated that—the last remaining possibility, as you said, is that it is haunted.”

Yoshiaki Saki was clearly joking, but many truths are expressed through jokes.

Indeed, Yoshiaki Saki genuinely believed that this time the place was haunted.

After all, once they pinpointed Tiger Girl's location, Sasaki Yoshiaki mobilized the operations team to cordon off and search the area, but in the end, they didn't find a single trace. The most terrifying thing was that even though they had clearly occupied the exact location where Tiger Girl was sending the telegram, and even had the entire rooftop filled with people, the direction finder and radio truck were still showing that the telegram was still being sent continuously, but the location hadn't changed at all.

If this isn't a ghost story, then the most advanced equipment purchased by the Special Higher Police, the direction finder and the radio truck, have both malfunctioned.

However, in response to this situation, the technical department has conducted a comprehensive inspection and even carried out practical experiments, and finally determined that there was no problem with the direction finder and the radio vehicle.

Aizawa Keiko sighed with a wry smile:

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to brainstorm and share our thoughts on what circumstances might lead to the situation that Sasaki-kun described."

As soon as Aizawa Keiko finished speaking, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Upon seeing that the visitor was from the telecommunications department, Saki Yoshiaki immediately stood up, then looked over with a horrified expression:

"Another discovery?"

The person swallowed twice before replying with a terrified expression:

"Sirs, Section Chief Sasaki, the direction finder and the radio truck have detected that Tiger Girl's radio frequency has reappeared at the same location as the night before last."

"However, this telegram was very brief, and we were not sure either, so we came to report immediately."

Saki Yoshiaki quickly looked at Aizawa Keiko.

Aizawa Keiko stood up:
"Saki-kun, Yua, Ah-xuan, come with me!"

Soon, the four arrived at the communications room. The clerk who had just reported quickly led them to the detector. Looking at the displayed band and calculated position, Saki Yoshiaki, sweating profusely, said:

“That’s right, this is Tiger Girl’s dedicated radio frequency. This telegram is very short, of course, much shorter than the telegram sent the night before last.”

Zhao Xuan stood beside Aizawa Keiko with a hint of joy in his heart, looking at Saki Yoshiaki with a bewildered expression.

This time, not only Yoshiaki Saki, but even Keiko Aizawa and Yua Murakami couldn't hold back anymore.

"Location confirmed?"

Yoshiaki Saki nodded solemnly:

"There's definitely no problem. In fact, I've had people keeping watch on the rooftop all along. I can confirm that there's no one, not even a radio station, at the location where the telegram was sent!"

Murakami Yua began to doubt her own skills. She pushed Saki Yoshiaki aside and stepped forward to quickly start operating the equipment.

After several tests, Yua Murakami looked back at Keiko Aizawa with a blank expression and shook her head:

"No problem, the direction finder is working perfectly."

Aizawa Keiko was speechless. Her head was buzzing. Could it be that the Special Higher Police was really haunted?
That said, Tiger Girl is indeed dead; that Li Mingzhu must have been Tiger Girl.

So it's Li Mingzhu's ghost causing trouble?
But that doesn't make sense either. It was fine the night before last, but it's early morning now, with the sun shining brightly. Where would any mountain spirits or monsters come from?
Zhao Xuan laughed at this moment, attracting everyone's attention, before he spoke:
"Perhaps, the biggest problem is that there is no problem. The direction finder may really be malfunctioning."

At this point, Zhao Xuan looked at Murakami Yua, who seemed hesitant to speak:
"Yua, can we continue testing? I'm here now, and you should trust my skills. Let's check together to see if there's a problem with the direction finder?"

Murakami Yua's eyes lit up. Yes, with Zhao-san's level of physics and mechanics, he might actually be able to discover problems he couldn't detect.

"Zhao Sang, please!"

"Section Chief, shall Zhao Sang and I test it a few more times?"

Aizawa Keiko nodded blankly. She was now also wondering if there was something wrong with the direction finder!
Under Zhao Xuan's arrangement, Edith has already acted according to plan.

During the subsequent test, Yua Murakami's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Because the direction finder frequently showed fluctuations from Tiger Girl's radio, and according to the calculated location, these fluctuations were inside the Special Higher Police building. The most absurd thing was that the fluctuations were actually happening in this room.

But now, apart from them, everyone else in this room has been kicked out by Saki Yoshiaki.

Finally, Yua Murakami had to look at Keiko Aizawa with a bewildered expression and admit:

"Section Chief, it's confirmed that the direction finder is indeed malfunctioning."

Upon hearing this, Yoshiaki Saki really wanted to give Yua Murakami a few judo throws.

Damn it, the direction finder had such a big problem, and it didn't even detect it that night, making him suspicious and causing him to interrogate the people in the telecommunications department all night.

Furthermore, if the direction finder is malfunctioning, then the radio truck must also be malfunctioning.

That same night, Yoshiaki Saki also suspected that the direction finder was malfunctioning, so he used a radio truck to recheck it, but the results were exactly the same as what the direction finder had detected.

Of course, there will be some deviations in the detection by the radio van, but no matter how much deviation there is, the approximate area is consistent.

Now, Zhao Xuan and Murakami Yua have checked it several times together, and Saki Yoshiaki is also convinced that the direction finder and radio are indeed malfunctioning.

Aizawa Keiko now believed it, but the discrepancies in the information still left her extremely puzzled:
"However, the information I received does say that the secret document that An Ruoxian stole was sent to Shancheng by telegram the night before last."

Zhao Xuan frowned as he looked at Aizawa Keiko. In fact, what Zhao Xuan wanted to know most right now was exactly how much of the battle plan had Watanabe Kyoko's ace spy, Shadow, seen?
"Section Chief, Mr. Saki mentioned in the meeting that Tiger Girl's radio broadcast a long telegram the night before last. Everyone saw the transcript of that telegram in the meeting room."

"I'd like to know, in the intelligence you received, how much of that classified information was mentioned?"

"If it's not much, just the length and content of a normal telegram, then it doesn't match the situation where Tiger Girl Radio sent out telegrams. It's possible that it was just a matter of time that led to our misjudgment. In reality, the secrets that An Ruoxian stole were simply transmitted to Shancheng, while the content was still en route to Shancheng."

"As for that long telegram, it can now be confirmed that the direction finder malfunctioned. In other words, that telegram that lasted for several hours was completely fictitious."

Okay, Aizawa Keiko was persuaded by Zhao Xuan.

Compared to the superstitious telegram from before, Aizawa Keiko was more convinced that there was a problem with the intelligence, or that, as Zhao Xuan said, it was just a coincidence.

Regardless of whether the matter was true or false, Lan Zehuizi decided to take Zhao Xuan to her mother to find out the specifics.

"Saki-kun, Yua, you two stay here and inspect the direction finder and radio truck. I'll take Ah-xuan to investigate this matter thoroughly."

In Shanghai, on Baoshan Street, the nano-flying insects have sent Zhao Xuan an important video feed.

Haruko Suzuki left the police station with a team of agents. Clearly, Kagesa had learned that Zhou Xiaoman was coming to Shanghai.

As for where the information about Yingzu came from, according to the telegrams summarized by Edith last night, it was from Nanjing, where Wang Da and Zhou Lifu informed Yingzu.

Of course, there is not without good news.

At least after Suzuki Haruko led the team out, they didn't have a direct target. It was obvious that they didn't know when Zhou Xiaoman would arrive or from where she would enter Shanghai.

City gate? Or train station?
Without knowing this, it would be impossible for Haruko Suzuki to capture Zhou Xiaoman in the short term.

Moreover, Suzuki Haruko's actions provided Zhao Xuan with extremely valuable intelligence.

That was in Nanjing, where Zhou Lifo failed, and Zhou Xiaoman ran away beforehand.

This good news allowed Zhao Xuan to prepare in advance, but for Zhou Xiaoman, it was crucial.

Since she was able to escape from Nanjing, it means that Zhou Xiaoman knew that the codebook for radio communication had been leaked.

In this way, it was impossible for Zhou Xiaoman to come to Shanghai without any precautions.

Therefore, it will be even more difficult for Haruko Suzuki to win over Zhou Xiaoman.

After observing the situation with Suzuki Haruko leading the team for some time, Zhao Xuan and Lan Ze Huizi arrived at No. 18 Shanyin Road.

"Section Chief Lan Ze, Section Chief Zhao, please~"

The people here seemed to have known that Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehuizi would come, and Watanabe Kyoko had arranged for people to wait here to welcome the two in.

Upon arriving at the familiar room, he knelt before the low table, watched as Kyoko Watanabe demonstrated the tea ceremony, and after drinking a cup of tea, Kyoko Watanabe smiled and asked:

"Is there anything you don't understand today?"

Watanabe naturally asked Aizawa Keiko about this issue.

Keiko Aizawa had no choice but to explain the contents of the meeting to Watanabe in detail.

Just as Zhao Xuan had predicted, even Watanabe stared wide-eyed at Aizawa Keiko with an incredulous expression after hearing the news.

"[Japanese] So, in the end, the direction finder malfunctioned?"

Lan Zehuizi looked at Zhao Xuan, who nodded slightly and said:

"[Japanese] Chairman Watanabe, our initial assessment is that it is indeed a problem with the direction finder; otherwise, we cannot explain those strange telegrams."

Kyoko Watanabe narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing Zhao Xuan and Keiko Aizawa for a while before finally speaking:
"The information we received from the Japanese side only stated that the secrets stolen by An Ruoxian had already reached Boss Dai's hands."

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko quickly asked:

"[Japanese] Mother, I need to know how much of what she saw?"

Aizawa Keiko asked this question in order to determine whether the coded telegram sent from the Special Higher Police the night before was genuine, or whether the direction finder had indeed malfunctioned.

However, Zhao Xuan obtained an important piece of information.

In Japanese pronunciation, "she" and "he" are different.

Therefore, the shadow lurking in the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau is a woman!

However, neither Keiko Aizawa nor Kyoko Watanabe paid any attention to this issue.
