Chapter 120 Discovering the Radio Station

Ye Shaohong certainly knew what it meant to tip a large sum of money in a teahouse.

This means he will inevitably be noticed by everyone.

But there was nothing he could do.

Ye Shaohong had left in such a hurry that he hadn't changed into ordinary clothes; he was still wearing his suit.

With his handsome and resolute face, he was definitely the epitome of a wealthy young master.

Or you could say he's a small business owner.

Given his attire, he shouldn't have come to this street-side teahouse, but since he was here, he had to do things befitting his appearance and status. Ye Shaohong had learned this from Wu Shuo.

That's why he generously rewarded the waiter with a silver dollar, and wisely refrained from having the waiter shout it out.

In this way, Ye Shaohong became part of the teahouse environment.

He quietly watched the girl on the stage, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

During this time, Wu Shuo's gaze swept over Ye Shaohong several times, but Ye Shaohong's acting skills were so superb that Wu Shuo did not find anything unusual about him.

Another half hour passed, and a woman dressed as a young student stepped into the teahouse.

He walked up to Wu Shuo's desk.

"Uncle Zhang, you were looking for me?"

The woman was of average appearance, but her youth and vivacity, coupled with her white and blue school uniform, added to her charm.

Her soft words immediately caught Ye Shaohong's attention.

First of all, this woman's accent is wrong.

Her accent had a distinct Northeastern accent, but it was also somewhat different from the standard Northeastern accent. It sounded slightly off-key, clearly a tone she had learned later.

Also, the way this woman addressed Wu Shuo was incorrect.

She called Wu Shuo "Uncle Zhang".

Based on age, it's not wrong for this woman to call Wu Shuo "uncle," but Wu Shuo's surname isn't Zhang.

Based on the location where the two met and Wu Shuo's disguise, Ye Shaohong was almost certain that there was something wrong with these two.

However, he does not yet have conclusive evidence.

So Ye Shaohong wasn't in a hurry. He maintained his focused expression while subtly observing Wu Shuo and the female student out of the corner of his eye. Their conversation was uneventful, nothing particularly unusual, just casual chatter about everyday matters.

It seems that Wu Shuo has been secretly supporting this female student all along. He called her over today specifically because it was the beginning of the semester, and Wu Shuo wanted to check on her studies and ask if she had any other needs.

She wondered if she had enough money, and if her classmates at school were bullying her.

The female student answered one by one, mentioning that she had done very well in the most recent exam and had even received verbal praise from the substitute teacher.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shaohong subtly frowned.

Ye Shaohong had a vague feeling that the two of them were exchanging information in the most ordinary and simple way in public.

He simply couldn't fathom the mystery behind it.

"Arrest them or not?" Ye Shaohong hesitated. In the end, he decided to be patient for the time being. Without solid evidence, even if the two were arrested and brought back to Villa No. 1 Honggongci, they would still have reasons to argue.

To achieve victory in one battle, one needs more patience.

Just as Ye Shaohong made his decision, Wu Shuo's conversation with the female student ended.

The female student stood up.

Wu Shuo then took out a seemingly ordinary money bag from his waist and placed it in the female student's hand, reminding her not to be stingy with money and to buy more delicious food.

Everything seemed normal, and the people around them who heard or saw the two of them didn't think much of it.

And so, the female student left the teahouse.

Ye Shaohong tapped his finger lightly on the table, and Li Yunlong, after staying in the teahouse for another three to five minutes, followed him out.

As for Wu Shuo and Ye Shaohong, they did not leave and remained in the teahouse.

Wu Shuo didn't get up and leave until after 10 o'clock.

Ye Shaohong did not follow either.

He stayed in the teahouse until noon, and when he saw that Li Yunlong had not returned, he leisurely got up and left.

In the evening, someone knocked on Ye Shaohong's office at Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

Li Yunlong changed his clothes again and pushed open the door to come in.

"Well, what's the result?"

Ye Shaohong was naturally asking about the female student's situation. He wanted to know if Li Yunlong had followed her and found her whereabouts.

Also, is there anything suspicious about that female student?

Li Yunlong did not disappoint him.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's question, Li Yunlong immediately stepped forward and handed Ye Shaohong a note and several photos.

At the same time, an indescribable look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Team leader, our investigation is on the right track. These two should both be Japanese spies."

Ye Shaohong ignored Li Yunlong's joyful excitement. He simply picked up the note and photo that Li Yunlong handed him and examined them carefully.

"Dongfang Hui, a native of Rehe, lost both her parents after the September 18 Incident and came to Nanjing with the refugees."

"Is she still a student at Jinling Normal University? And temporarily staying at No. 27 Que'er Hutong?"

The note contained little information, likely the result of Li Yunlong's hasty investigation. Most of this information was superficial and not of great intelligence value.

What truly caught Ye Shaohong's attention were the few newly developed photos. These photos were taken secretly by Li Yunlong outside the female student's rented courtyard. The female student, Dongfang Hui, was not in any of them, but there was one very unusual thing about them.

Ye Shaohong discovered traces of a radio antenna in two of the photos.

Although the antenna was well hidden, disguised by the woman named Dongfang Hui as a bracket for binding old-fashioned chimneys, it was impossible for an ordinary person to spot it.

But no matter how well she hid it, traces still left their mark.

In the eyes of professional agents like Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong, it's fine if they don't see it, but if they do, they can discover the special features of this fixed frame by observing it carefully.

There's no other reason; it's just too high.

Moreover, two thin steel wires were visible on the square, old-fashioned chimney opening.

"It's the radio station!"

"I never expected that this woman would be a carrier pigeon for the Japanese spy squad!"

"Great, that's wonderful."

"Li Yunlong, immediately gather a squad of your men. We'll move in tonight and arrest Wu Shuo and this woman named Dongfang Hui."

"Be careful, this woman has a radio, so she might also have a codebook. We absolutely cannot let her destroy it during the operation!"

"If we can find the radio and the codebook, this operation will be a great success!"

"No!"

"This should be considered the first major achievement of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics since its establishment!"
