The first thousand one hundred and fifty-ninth chapters whereabouts a mystery
At this time, the door opened and an officer pushed the door in. This person was Scott, the intelligence officer of the British garrison.
Although Hong Kong is not large in size, it has an important international status. Therefore, the British garrison in Hong Kong is not small, with a total of nearly 20,000 troops, composed of British and Indian soldiers, and a part of Canadian troops. The garrison has a complete department, not only a small number of navy and air force, but also corresponding intelligence departments. Scott is an important figure among them, and he is also the main person in charge of cooperating with Shandora's work this time.
Scott came to Shandora a few steps and said, "Miss Quak, the two Japanese spoke. They were indeed agents of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but they didn't know where the drawings were. They just came to search on the spot and did not get anything in the end."
The arrest operation in the early hours of the night was very smooth because there was no harvest in the search of the Notting passenger ship these days, so Shandora suggested that the personnel be evacuated openly, but traps were set up secretly.
So Scott led the armed forces to ambush the dock, waiting for the Japanese to take the bait, with the intention of using these Japanese spies to find out the whereabouts of the drawings.
As a result, he really waited for the target. A total of five Japanese Foreign Ministry agents were waiting for the other party to complete the search. When he left the cabin, he ordered the arrest. As a result, three of them were shot and two injured were captured alive. After several hours of interrogation, all the situations had been asked clearly.
"Tony, I said, you can call me Shandora. We have always worked very happily, and there is no need to be too unfamiliar with each other!" Shandora raised her mouth, showed a beautiful and charming smile, and said kindly.
Scott also smiled slightly and nodded politely to agree, but he did not feel any neglected to the beautiful girl in front of him.
Because the order he received was to unconditionally cooperate with the female intelligence officer's actions, and even the commander of the garrison pointed out that this intelligence officer from the local headquarters had a deep background and great energy, and all operations were endorsed by senior military officials, which was far beyond the ability of an intelligence officer like him, a Far Eastern colonial garrison.
"Okay, Shandora, according to the instructions of these two Japanese spies, Naoto Yanagawa's assistants were not sure about the specific whereabouts of the drawings. This time, they were only searched by the order of Hidehiko Suzuki, but they were just trying their luck."
Speaking of this, Scott shrugged and quipped: "Obviously, their luck is not good!"
After the Notting cruise arrived at the port, although Scott and others also searched the three Japanese spies, they did not dare to blatantly detain the personnel and torture the confession. Otherwise, once the conflict intensified, they would be completely torn apart, and the consequences would be unpredictable, so they were finally released.
But in this way, Shandora, Scott and others could not determine whether the three assistants knew the whereabouts of the drawings. Perhaps in order to prevent the British from searching, they did not take the drawings off the ship, so they finally set up a trap and waited for the Japanese to take the bait.
The Scott mentioned Hidehiko Suzuki was a military officer at the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong and the intelligence leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong. He was in charge of the task of retrieving the drawings this time. As the intelligence officer of the Hong Kong military, Scott was also very familiar with Hidehiko Suzuki.
Shandora was also very disappointed when she heard this. She lost her plan, sighed and nodded, "The actions of the Japanese also show that they really don't know the specific whereabouts of the drawings, but they don't know what went wrong in the middle. The engine drawings actually disappeared for no reason. Could it be that someone really did something wrong in the middle?"
She has carefully recalled the details of the action these days and confirmed that she did not make any major mistakes. But now she still can't figure out what the problem is. Finally, she guessed whether there were third-party forces involved?
Scott continued: "There is another thing. In the past few days, Japan has frequently put pressure on the Governor's Office to participate in the investigation of the death of Japanese citizens without reason. The French government also sent a public letter to protest the detention of the Notting. The Governor and General Maud negotiated and negotiated many times. We are not rich in time and the search action must be accelerated."
Over the past few days, all parties have been responding strongly. Of course, the Japanese protested many times, but it was a top-secret intelligence activity and could not be said on the surface.
The Notting passenger ship is a cruise ship of the French Ocean Company, and the French government has also expressed dissatisfaction with this.
However, the situation in the UK is also complicated, with different opinions within the parliament. All forces have their own opinions. After the changes in the situation in recent months, the side that insists on being tough on the Japanese has gradually gained the upper hand.
The French Vichy government has also surrendered to Germany, and their positions have changed and become hostile. The British side does not care too much about their protests.
Moreover, Shandora's actions were supported by the British intelligence department, so she was confident and smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry about these problems. Our goal is engine drawings. In short, the Notting cannot leave the port if it hasn't been found for one day. I don't believe that the Japanese really dare to turn against us completely."
Although the British at this time had some concerns about the Japanese, they were forced to make concessions in the Far East based on the pressure from the Germans. In fact, they did not attach too much importance to Japan itself and had great psychological advantages.
Scott also agreed with Shandora's point of view. Seeing Shandora was not moved at all, he shrugged and said nothing.
At this time, Shandora looked back at the workbench next to her. Now there were many items placed on the workbench one by one, all of which she brought back from Naoto Yanagawa's room.
She sighed lightly and whispered in her mouth: "Reasonablely, since the drawings of the aviation torpedo can be hidden in a cigar, why are the drawings of the engine not there? Is it necessary to hide two places? Naoto Yanagawa is too careful, right?"
It turned out that Shandora had found the drawings of the aviation torpedo. She had deliberately pretended to be close to Naoto Yanagawa, and had a hot fight with Naoto Yanagawa for a while. However, although Naoto Yanagawa was lustful, he was also an experienced agent and had a heavy responsibility, so he was also a guard against Shandora. After several inspections by Shandora, they were almost noticed by Naoto Yanagawa, so Shandora had to take tough measures in the end.
So on the last night of arrival in Hong Kong, Shandora subdued Yanagawa Naoto by taking advantage of the intimacy with Naoto Yanagawa, but Naoto Yanagawa is also a tough guy. Once he saw the opportunity, he would directly take poison and commit suicide, and he did not give Shandora a chance to interrogate him.
Under the circumstances at that time, Shandora had to evacuate quickly, but she still took away all the items in the room that might have hidden drawings, which were all the things in front of her now:
For example, a carry-on wallet, a luggage case, and a change of laundry, a pistol, a self-defense dagger, a small silver wine pot, a set of precious French perfumes, several letters, and a box of high-end cigars……
Even Naoto Yanagawa's belt and shoes were taken back. In short, Sandora took away all the items that could be taken away.
In fact, Shandora's response was very correct. After she brought these items back, after careful inspection by the team members, she finally found a drawing and film in a cigar. Everyone was ecstatic and thought that the operation was completed, but after inspection, it was torn with cold water because they found that this was just the technical drawing of the aviation torpedo, and the most important technical drawing of the G-type engine was invisible.
You should know that Germany's technical assistance this time is the most important thing about the G-type engine technology, which is also the most advanced engine technology in various countries at present.
As for the technology of aviation torpedoes, it is only a side item, because the Japanese aviation torpedo technology is relatively advanced and not inferior to Germany, so this aviation torpedo technology is only used for reference and communication, and its importance is relatively poor.
Because the British retreated to the British Isles, their main combat mission is to deal with the Luftwaffe, so they put in a lot of effort to intercept the technology of the G-type engine, which is also the technology they most urgently need.
After a careful inspection overnight, everyone checked all the items, but still did not find the drawings for the G-type engine. Finally, they believed that the drawings should still be in Naoto Yanagawa's cabin. They planned to search again, but at this time, the Notting passenger ship was about to arrive at the port, and Naoto Yanagawa's death had been discovered by his assistant, causing a chaos on the passenger ship, and there was no chance to search again. So in the end, Shandora had to take emergency measures to contact the Hong Kong garrison, requested assistance, and detained the Notting passenger ship.
However, in the past few days, although the British military conducted a thorough search of Naoto Yanagawa's cabin and even the entire Notting passenger ship, they still found nothing and had to give up in the end. This led to the operation of setting up traps and borrowing Japanese spies to search, but things were still contrary to their wishes.
At this moment, Shandora picked up half of the cigar again, and a look of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
This is a Romeo brand cigar, about six inches long and has a thicker ring diameter than an adult's thumb. It is the largest model of cigars on the market. They found a microfilm, which is the technical drawing of aviation torpedo in such a cigar. They originally thought that the engine drawing would be hidden in the same cigar, but they then took apart the other cigars and found nothing.
Moreover, in the past few days, they thoroughly inspected other items, such as cutting open Yanagawa Naoto's carry-on belt and leather shoes, breaking down the box of the suitcase, and even cutting out his changing clothes for inspection, etc., but they still couldn't find the engine drawings and film.
