At this time in the early morning, there were two trains at Shanghai Railway Station. One train was the one that Gavin Lin had told the taxi driver about, the one that left for Nanjing at 1:50, and the other one that left for Ningbo via Hangzhou at 2:15.
Gavin Lin brought Liu Xuan here, actually intending to have Liu Xuan take the 2:10 train back to Hangzhou with the Type 91 cipher machine. He had said that to the taxi driver before, mainly to be prepared for any eventuality.
One reason why Liu Xuan was asked to bring the Type 91 cipher machine back to Hangzhou was that the cipher experts and radio experts of the Intelligence Department were all concentrated in Hangzhou because of the Hangzhou Telecommunications Class. Bringing the Type 91 cipher machine back to Hangzhou would allow the cipher experts and radio experts of the Intelligence Department to study the Type 91 cipher machine better and faster.
Of course, this reason was only a minor one. The main reason was that Gavin Lin wanted to use Marcus Zhou to hand over the Type 91 cipher machine.
When Gavin Lin seized this Type 91 cipher machine, he had considered it very clearly. Unlike the secret telegram books seized before, the importance of this Type 91 cipher machine could even be said to be equivalent to that of several Japanese divisions.
