Here, let's deliberate on where the real downhill went.Go down the mountain and make an appointment with someone to have a secret meeting near the Mitsukoshi subway.The date was about five days ago—probably the day before (four days).It is conceivable that the other party is the person who provides very reliable high-level information for Xiashan.He is both high-level and reliable, so at that time, this person must have an intelligence network in the National Railway Union on the one hand, and on the other hand, he must also have an intelligence relationship with the Intelligence Department of the U.S. General Command or the Ministry of Labor; otherwise, something like Such a person would not deliberately come to meet him alone.If it was a nonsensical, ordinary "inquiry", he probably wouldn't even pay attention when he went down the mountain.However, Xiashan probably did not know that this person had another collusion with the intelligence department of the US General Command.Thus, the tragedy of descending the mountain occurred.Xia Shan had resisted Sagnon on the issue of layoffs, which had made Sagnon intolerable.At this juncture, Sagnon heard that Xia Shan was quietly collecting information on himself, so he became furious.In short, if the U.S. occupying forces want to create a shocking event, Xiashan may be used as the protagonist of this event.

It is probably impossible to find out who the person who provided the information about going down the mountain was.Intuitively, I believe that at this moment all traces of him have been wiped from the face of the earth forever. I have survived before. The day before (4th) at one o'clock in the afternoon, when Shimoyama and Chief Cabinet Secretary Masuda went to meet Prime Minister Yoshida, Shimoyama left the meeting on the pretext of having something to do.After investigation, it turned out that the National Railways did not hold any important meetings.In connection with this fact, did Xiashan make an appointment to meet the person who provided the information at this time?I have deduced this before.

But the reason why I went down the mountain in a hurry to withdraw money from the bank on the morning of the 5th (this is an inference), and then entered the Mitsukoshi subway, was it because I didn't see that person at one o'clock in the afternoon the previous day?In other words, it can be inferred from this incident that the other party will make an appointment to meet Shimoyama at one o'clock in the afternoon on the 4th (this appointment is so important that he did not hesitate to give up the meeting with Prime Minister Yoshida), but because the person who provided the information had something to do , I didn't see it, so I changed the appointment to meet after 9:00 am on the 5th (the department store opens at 9:30 am).Presumably such appointments have always been arranged using the secrecy of the telephone.

Xiashan must have often met with the informant whose name has never been found so far. (Driver Onishi also said similar things.) The "White Paper" quoted Shima Hideo (Shimoyama's friend) as such a confession: "After Shimoyama became the president, his tone sometimes revealed that he was hiring people who provided information." Police The Metropolitan Police Department added a comment in parentheses as usual: (Actually, he never hired the person who provided the information, but he said to outsiders that he seemed to be hiring.) But the Metropolitan Police Department has no way of knowing this.Maybe the Metropolitan Police Department knows the details, but it is inconvenient to publish it.This must be kept strictly confidential. Except for Xiashan and the person who provided the information, probably no one knows about this relationship.

Of course, this person must have often secretly met with Xiashan before, and each time the location was different.According to the driver Onishi's confession, he seems to often meet the person who provided the report when he goes down the mountain.But going down the mountain wasn't just about meeting him at Mitsukoshi.Probably change locations every time.Driver Onishi, who was trusted by Xiashan, must know these details to a certain extent.Of course, the driver didn't know that the other party was the person who provided advanced intelligence.He might think that the person he met secretly was a little "inquisitor" through Xiashan's mistress.It seems that some people still have this idea.

Go down the mountain to the Mitsukoshi subway.Did he see someone there? If you meet "him", maybe you can finish the conversation in twenty minutes, maybe it only takes five or ten minutes.Even if you don't talk, you just need to get written information from "him".But if you go down the mountain, will you not meet "him" there?As long as you think about the meeting at ten o'clock in the morning on the day you go down the mountain, you will understand when you make an appointment to go to the US military headquarters with Vice President Kagashan and others at eleven o'clock.

That is to say, Xia Shan once muttered in the car: "Just go around at ten o'clock today." Therefore, he must have planned to meet that person on the Mitsukoshi subway at around nine o'clock, and immediately finished the conversation and hurried to ten o'clock. Go to the National Railway Office at one o'clock.But in fact, after going down the mountain and getting off the subway, I was led to another place. Why didn't he go down the mountain to receive information there, but was led to another place?It is also conceivable that he was coerced into leaving, but most likely he was not.As far as I think, Xiashan did not see "him", and another person said that he would take Xiashan to the place where "him" was, thus abducting Xiashan away.That is to say, the person who came instead of "he" told Xiashan that for some reason, "he" could not come to the agreed place, so he wanted to go down the mountain and move to a new place.This kind of evasion is very convenient to compile.For example, if that person is sick and hospitalized and wants to meet Xia Shan at the hospital, Xia Shan will definitely be fooled.The person who replaced "him" got the signal right when he called Xia Shan, so Xia Shan was not suspected.

The other party must have told Xiashan that the place to take him was very close, and he could catch up with the national railway meeting at ten o'clock in the morning.As soon as I went down the mountain, I was fooled.If it was a distant place, he would probably refuse it as well.Because he said it was very close, he readily agreed. Then, why do I infer that "he" himself did not appear on the Mitsukoshi Subway?From the fact that "he" did not keep the promise at one o'clock in the afternoon of the first day, we can also see some signs.Shimoyama really wanted to see "him" at the appointed time, so that when Shimoyama and Chief Cabinet Secretary Masuda stayed at Prime Minister Yoshida's residence, he went back halfway on the pretext of having something to do.According to my presumption, the other party ("he") had encountered a serious obstacle and could not be contacted at the time.Therefore, most likely re-arranged to meet on the Mitsukoshi subway after nine o'clock in the morning on the fifth day.Readers are asked to imagine what this obstacle means?This "obstacle" probably means that "he" has fallen into the hands of the conspirators.The person who called Xiashan to notify him of changing the appointment pretended to be "his" agent, and that person obtained details from "him" such as the password for contacting Xiashan by means of torture.

According to my guess, I went down the mountain the day before (fourth), so I wandered around the Office of the Director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Office of Legal Affairs, and the Office of the Director of Public Security Bureau of the National Railways. to what a barrier really means. "He" encountered obstacles—that is, he lost contact with Shimoyama, which made Shimoyama uneasy, fearing that "he" would show his feet in the trade union, be detained and lynched.Therefore, Xiashan wandered around the Metropolitan Police Department and the security department for a while, but finally did not make up his mind to speak out.He was just excited to make some strange words and deeds.

At this time, "he" called to contact, and was waiting anxiously when he went down the mountain, so he hurried to pick it up.Negotiations with the trade union have reached a decisive moment, and there is no hesitation for a moment.The contact number I had been waiting for for a long time was called by "his" agent, who told "his" what he had said, which did not arouse Xiashan's suspicion.Down the mountain came to Mitsukoshi as promised.But the other party himself did not come.
