Chapter 1770 Nohara Kenji is at home like a fish in water
After seeing off Umezumi Saeaki, Tomohiro Arao's face became extremely gloomy.
Although he spoke harshly when facing his former junior, Umezumi Sagami, and firmly denied that the source of the leak was the Special Higher Police, and questioned whether the leak was more likely to have occurred from the Military Police Headquarters or the Imperial Garrison in Shanghai, after Umezumi Sagami left, Tomohiro Arao began to think about the matter carefully.
"Shinpachi, how likely do you think it is that the leak occurred at the headquarters?" Tomohiro Arao asked Shinpachi Yoshimura.
"The head of the Tent and Captain Araki are proven imperial officers." Shinpachi Yoshimura thought for a moment and said.
"So, you suspect Kentaro Miyazaki?" Arao Tomohiro looked at Yoshimura Shinpachi and asked.
When he received the call from his superior, Miyazaki Kentaro happened to be in the office. Later, because of Miyazaki Kentaro's special status in the French Concession, he revealed to Miyazaki Kentaro the Empire's decision to enter the French Concession and ordered Miyazaki Kentaro to monitor the movements in the French Concession.
Afterwards, Arao Tomohiro summoned the head of the Intelligence Office, Shinta Agata, and the captain of the Action Brigade, Harima Araki, the leaders of these two important departments, and revealed to them the situation that the Empire was going to enter the French Concession, and asked the Intelligence Office and the Action Brigade to be prepared.
Therefore, within the Special Higher Police, the only four people who knew the top-secret information that the Empire was about to enter the French Concession were him, my grandson Shinta, Araki Harima, and Miyazaki Kentaro.
Of course, Yoshimura Shinpachi and Yoshimura Shinchi also knew about this, but these two were his confidants, so Arao Tomohiro naturally would not doubt his two trusted subordinates.
……
"I don't doubt Miyazaki Kentaro either." Yoshimura Shinpachi said, "It's just that compared to the head of the tent and Captain Araki, Miyazaki Kentaro is more suspicious."
"Kentaro Miyazaki..." Tomohiro Arao murmured.
Kentaro Miyazaki is a sleeper agent of the Empire, and his performance can even be described as outstanding.
Tomohiro Arao does not think that there is any possibility that Kentaro Miyazaki leaked the information, but as Shinpachi Yoshimura said, if the information was really leaked from within the Special High Police, Kentaro Miyazaki would be more suspicious than others.
"Shinhachi." Arao Chihiro said, "Go meet my grandson Shinta and ask him to secretly investigate the leak."
"Hai."
"Focus on investigating Kentaro Miyazaki."
"Hai."
"Just focus on the investigation. Don't forget that the leak may also have occurred at the Military Police Headquarters and the Garrison Army." Arao Chihiro warned.
"Hai."
Arao Chihiro waved his hand, and just as Yoshimura Shinpachi was about to leave, he called Yoshimura Shinpachi again, "Ask Ken'er Nohara from the Telecommunications Research Laboratory to come see me."
No matter where the source of the leak appears, the enemy will definitely need to use radio to transmit intelligence to the outside world. He expects Nohara Ken's telecommunications research laboratory to bring him surprises.
"Hayi." said Yoshimura Shinpachi.
……
Ken'er Nohara has been in a pretty good mood lately.
The new chief of the Special High Section, Tomohiro Arao, attached great importance to telecommunications detection work. Not only did he visit the Telecommunications Research Laboratory twice, he also generously agreed to the Telecommunications Research Laboratory's request for increased funding and the introduction of newer advanced equipment. This made Kenji Nohara very ambitious and he vowed to make a name for himself.
"Section Chief, you're looking for me." said Kenji Nohara.
"Was the telecommunications signal particularly busy last night?" asked Tomohiro Arao.
"How did you know that?" Nohara Ken'er asked in surprise. "I was just about to report to you that the number of radio signals suddenly increased last night. I could say it was very busy."
"The Empire has decided to enter the French Concession soon, and now this top-secret information has been leaked." Arao Chihiro glanced at Nohara Ken'er, "You understand what I mean, right?"
"I see." Nohara Ken'er nodded, "I understand."
"The Telecommunications Research Laboratory is tracking and monitoring radio signals. Have they found anything?" asked Tomohiro Arao.
"Indeed, we have made some discoveries." Nohara Ken'er nodded. "There are several radio stations that have come into our sights many times and have been tracked and monitored for a long time. They were turned on intensively yesterday."
"Tell me about it." said Arao Chihiro.
……
"We are closely monitoring two of the radio stations. We initially suspected that they were commercial radio stations in the French Concession, used for business dealings with Europe. However, this also needs careful identification to rule out the possibility that the other party uses commercial radio stations for espionage." said Kenji Nohara.
"Keep a close watch," said Arao Chihiro. "The British, French, Germans, and especially the Soviets, have a large number of spies in Shanghai. It is very likely that they are using registered commercial radio stations to conduct espionage work."
"Hayi." Nohara Ken'er nodded, "I think so too."
"What else?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"I think we should pay special attention to an old friend." Nohara Ken'er said, "This old friend has been the focus of surveillance in the Telecommunications Research Laboratory. This radio station was turned on yesterday."
"Old friend?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"Yes." Nohara Ken'er said, "This is a secret radio station hidden in the French Concession. We were close to capturing the location of the radio station, but unfortunately we were unsuccessful in the end."
……
"Tell me about this station."
"Hayi." Nohara Ken'er said, "In fact, the officer who died earlier, Kikube Hiroo, had always been very interested in this radio station. He even tended to think that this radio station belonged to Xiao Mian's special intelligence department."
"Xiao Mian's Special Intelligence Department radio station?" Arao Chihiro immediately became interested.
"Yes, but this is just a guess and has not been confirmed." Nohara Ken'er said, "and..."
"And what?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"There is a situation, which may be normal or abnormal," said Kenji Nohara.
"What do you mean?" Tomohiro Arao looked at Kenji Nohara. He now had a preliminary understanding of this subordinate. He was a technical officer who spoke everything based on technology and facts. The fact that Kenji Nohara could say such seemingly contradictory words made Arao very interested in what Kenji Nohara said.
"This radio station was silent for a while before," said Ken'er Nohara. "This situation is not surprising from a common sense perspective. Perhaps the owner of the radio station realized some kind of danger and remained silent for a while. Perhaps the owner of the radio station temporarily left Shanghai for some reason. In short, it is not uncommon for a radio station that we have been monitoring for a long time to remain silent for a while."
"However, from another perspective, an important radio station suddenly went silent for a period of time, which in itself can be said to be abnormal." Nohara Kenji said, "So, last night Nakajo Shotaro discovered that this once silent radio station suddenly turned on, and he immediately captured the radio signal and reported to me."
……
"Nakajo Shotaro?" Arao Chihiro asked, "Did you assign him to watch over this radio station?"
"Yes, Nakajo is a very talented subordinate. I have arranged for him to focus on monitoring several old friends, including this 'special' radio station." Nohara Kenji said.
"Special radio station?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"Yes, Chief Kiku suspected that this radio station was related to Xiao Mian's Special Affairs Department, so we temporarily named this old friend the 'Special' radio station." said Kenji Nohara.
"This special radio station was silent for a while, but it suddenly turned on yesterday." Arao Chihiro said thoughtfully, "This is because they have information that the Empire is going to enter the French Concession, so they have to take the risk and turn it on."
"The chief's analysis makes sense." Nohara Ken'er nodded. "Yesterday, Nakajo and I were discussing what caused this radio station to suddenly turn on. Now it seems that it must be what you are talking about."
"And..." Nohara Ken'er continued, "Nakajo discovered a detail during the transmission of this radio station yesterday."
"What details?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"There was a brief pause during the transmission of this radio station," said Kenji Nohara.
"What does a brief pause mean?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"It means exactly what it says." said Kenji Nohara.
"Tell me more details." Arao Chihiro glanced at Nohara Ken'er. Technically, this was a bad thing about being an officer, which sometimes made people dislike him.
"The 'special' radio station was interrupted for about two minutes during transmission, and then continued sending." said Kenji Nohara.
"It was interrupted for two minutes?" Arao Chihiro frowned and thought, "Is this normal?"
"It's abnormal, so it attracted Nakajo's attention." said Nohara Ken'er.
……
Seeing Arao Chihiro's puzzled look, he patiently explained, "The enemy obviously knows that we are closely monitoring and searching the radio station, so when they send messages, they try to complete them in one go, emphasizing efficiency and safety. For safety reasons, the sender should try their best to avoid interruptions in the middle of a message."
"I see." Arao Chihiro nodded, and he asked Nohara Kenji, "From a professional perspective, what circumstances would normally cause the sender to interrupt the transmission for a moment before continuing."
"The most common situation is that the information to be sent has been recently changed, so additional transmissions are needed," said Ken'er Nohara, "but this situation is actually rare."
"There is another situation that is more common." Nohara Ken'er said, "That is, the transmitter is disturbed while sending the message. For example, if someone is suddenly found outside the secret room, the transmitter will stop sending the message for safety reasons, and then continue sending the message after confirming that it is safe."
As he said this, Nohara Ken'er shook his head again.
"What's wrong?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"Although this situation seems reasonable, from a professional and safety perspective, if our secret telegraph operators encounter this situation, they will generally choose to stop sending messages and move quickly instead of continuing to send messages," said Kenji Nohara.
"What if this information is particularly important?" asked Arao Tomohiro with an idea in mind.
"I understand what the section chief means," said Ken'er Nohara. "Take the intelligence about the Empire's upcoming entry into the French Concession as an example. For the enemy, this may be extremely urgent information. There is a possibility that he will continue to send messages at the risk of his life."
"Very good." Arao Chihiro nodded.
The professional information he learned from Nohara Ken'er gave him some vague guesses in his mind.
……
"Keep a close eye on this special radio station," said Arao Chihiro. "I will arrange for the Intelligence Office to investigate, focusing on some secret places in the French Concession. The sender you mentioned may have been interfered with while sending the message yesterday. This is very important and may help our investigation."
"Well done." Arao Chihiro praised.
"This is my job." said Ken'er Nohara.
"There is another situation that I think deserves your attention," said Nohara Ken'er.
"What's going on?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"A radio station that was not monitored appeared yesterday," said Kenji Nohara.
"A new radio station?" Arao Chihiro immediately became interested.
"Yes." Nohara Ken'er nodded, "It's a radio signal that has never been turned on before."
While Arao Tomohiro was lost in thought, a radio station that had never appeared before suddenly appeared. Considering the leak of top-secret intelligence that the Empire was about to enter the French Concession, he immediately felt that this radio station was a major suspect.
"Where did this radio appear?" Arao Chihiro asked immediately.
"French Concession." Nohara Ken'er said, "To be exact, it should have appeared in the Joffre District of the French Concession."
"Xiafei District!" Arao Chihiro nodded. "Very good, continue monitoring and see if we can get more information about this radio station. I will arrange for someone to assist the Telecommunications Research Laboratory in the follow-up search."
"Hai."
……
"There is another situation." Nohara Ken'er said again.
"Keep talking." Arao Tomohiro was not angry when he saw Nohara Ken'er talking like squeezing toothpaste. He had some understanding of technical officers like Nohara Ken'er.
He knew that this was not Nohara Ken'er trying to keep the secret, but that Nohara Ken'er actually said whatever he thought. If you asked Nohara Ken'er to produce a telegraph technical report, he could talk about it eloquently, but when it came to things involving intelligence tracking, his thinking was not so clear.
"A radio station that was previously under surveillance was turned on yesterday, but there was a special situation," said Kenji Nohara.
"What's the special situation?" Arao Chihiro asked patiently.
He noticed that Nohara Ken'er seemed to like this way of asking questions and Nohara Ken'er answering them.
Of course, perhaps this is precisely because Nohara Ken'er is not good at intelligence gathering, and therefore he can get into the state better through questioning and answering.
"This radio station has been in the French Concession for a long time." Nohara Ken'er said, "Just yesterday, this radio station was turned on and sent a message, but it appeared in the International Settlement."
"Changed location?" Arao Chihiro asked, "From your professional perspective, what is the general cause of this situation?"
"Generally, there are multiple situations that cause this." Ken'er Nohara talked freely, he was in high spirits, and he especially liked the section chief's words "analyze from your professional perspective".
This is the superior who understands Ken'er Nohara. Compared with Section Chief Arao, the previous Section Chief Sanben was simply illiterate!
