Lost and Spy

Chapter 570

Guqin Terrace, also known as Yu Boya Terrace, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Together with the Yellow Crane Tower and Qingchuan Pavilion, it is also known as the three major scenic spots in Wuhan, and it is known as "the first platform for bosom friends in the world".

Meng Shaoyuan rushed here immediately with Gan Ning and Xu Zhu.

The person in charge of solving the case is the squadron leader Pan Junguang.

The agent who died, Qi Chuanfu, was his subordinate.

Pan Junguang was overjoyed when he heard that Director Dai actually sent Meng Shaoyuan to "assist" in solving the case.

What "assistance" is.

Basically, Meng Shaoyuan was in charge of the case himself.

Who is he?

Master Meng, who is famous in Shanghai.

Once the case is solved, it is expected that as Meng Shaoyuan, he will not bother to fight for credit with himself, and then all the credit will be his own?
So Pan Junguang made up his mind, the one who "assists" must be the host, and the one who hosts must be "assistant".

"Meng Section Chief." Upon seeing Meng Shaoyuan, Pan Junguang immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Oh, I dare not be." Meng Shaoyuan also said politely: "You are the squadron leader, and I have no right or position. Director Dai sent me here, and everything is under your command."

Follow my orders?

Are you kidding me?
Look at these two people standing behind you, expressionless, but terrifying in their eyes.

Don't even think about it, it must be your elite agent.

That's it, let me take command?
Pan Junguang hurriedly said: "Meng Section Chief is joking. When Section Chief Meng was in Nanjing, he was famous and solved countless cases. Today, I can come to Wuhan to take charge of this case personally, so that I can learn from you."

Flatterer.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't talk nonsense with him: "Report the information."

He said that he was used to it, and the word "report" blurted out. How could a subordinate speak to his superior like this?

But Pan Junguang didn't take it seriously at all: "Qi Chuanfu, 39 years old, a native of Wuhan. He joined the organization in February 26 of the Republic of China and was the team leader. He was in charge of arresting a Japanese agent Masao Kosaka, but Masao Kosaka was very cunning and was caught several times by other To escape, according to the information we have so far, Qi Chuanfu left the office alone after receiving a call this morning, without telling anyone where he was going, let alone his destination.

His body was discovered an hour ago. It was a coincidence. We happened to have someone on the Guqin Terrace at the time. We also saw Qi Chuanfu and greeted him. We heard that there was a homicide, so we rushed over to have a look. Unexpectedly, It is Qi Chuanfu. "

"Where is the person who found Qi Chuanfu's body?"

"His name is You Xiyu, he's 28 years old, and he's right there."

"You two are responsible for checking the corpse." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but enter the role, completely forgetting that he was just a small spy now, and began to command: "Captain Pan, bring that You Xiyu here."

……

"It was about 10 o'clock this morning, and I saw Captain Qi."

As soon as he came over, You Xiyu immediately replied: "At that time, it was still raining, and Captain Qi didn't even bring an umbrella, so I asked if I wanted an umbrella, and Captain Qi said no... I didn't see him anymore... ...At twelve o'clock at noon, I heard that there was a murder case here, and when I saw it, it turned out that Captain Qi was killed."

Tell the truth.

Meng Shaoyuan had been watching You Xiyu's expression all the time, and when he asked Captain Qi if he wanted an umbrella, he was obviously flattering.

This cannot be faked.

This guy is also good at flattering.

Meng Shaoyuan asked, "Where are you usually responsible for?"

"There is the Ziwei Garden."

"Then why did you come here today?"

"Ah...it's like this...I'm resting today, and I happen to be fine, so I just wanted to come here to have fun."

"What time did you arrive?"

"It's past nine, isn't it?"

"I arrived at nine o'clock, and you are still there at twelve o'clock. I don't think this place is very big. Why do you have to play for three hours?"

"Ah...it's like this...it's rare for us to have a holiday, but today it's finally a holiday, so I just want to have more fun."

"You have fun here, and you can go to other places."

"Ah...it's like this...I'm a lazy person, and I don't want to go to other places after I come to one place...It didn't rain later, so I stayed for a while..."

"You Xiyu!"

"To!"

"You may not know me very well." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "No one can lie in front of me, but you lied just now. Your habit is that when you are asked questions that need to be considered, you habitually use ' Ah, it's like this 'to delay the time. You are not lazy, on the contrary you are very diligent.

You see, Qi Chuanfu didn't know it would rain today, and neither did I, but you brought an umbrella. You must have seen that the sky was gloomy before you came, so you brought an umbrella on purpose.People who work carefully are less likely to be lazy.When you answered my next few questions, you kept avoiding my gaze, but you answered before, that's not the case. "

"Sir, I..."

Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "You Xiyu, an agent of the military command was killed, and he was still the captain. This is not a small case. If you don't tell the truth, I can only regard you as a suspect."

"Not me, not me."

You Xiyu panicked, hesitating, hesitant to speak.

"Say it quickly." Pan Junguang became impatient: "I don't have such a good temper, why don't I take you back for interrogation?"

"I said, I said." You Xiyu couldn't bear it anymore: "Our captain asked me to come."

"Zhou Nan?"

"It's him, it's him." You Xiyu didn't dare to hide anything anymore: "Captain Zhou likes to gamble, and Captain Pan, you know that too. He owes a lot of gambling debts to others, just...just..."

"Just what, say it!"

"Just take out the opium we seized last time and sell it secretly..." You Xiyu said tremblingly, "I helped him find an opium dealer, Wu Liuye from Xicheng. We agreed to trade here at ten o'clock." , but he didn’t come until eleven o’clock. At that time, we found a hidden place, and Mr. Wu Liu said that our opium was not of good quality, so we bargained for a long time there..."

Pan Junguang was convinced.

In the past, I only heard about how powerful Meng Shaoyuan handles cases, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is the first time to handle a case with him today, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Just relying on the few words the other party said, he immediately knew that the other party was lying, and first solved a small case of self-stealing.

"Take him down, and interrogate Zhou Nan and Mr. Wu Liu carefully to see if he's telling the truth." Meng Shaoyuan ordered.

At this time, Gan Ning and Xu Zhu also came after checking the corpse.

Gan Ning leaned closer and said, "The technique is very skillful. He stabbed directly from the back of the neck, and then pulled it out. Probably to ensure the opponent's death immediately, he made another stab."

Hmm, why does it sound so familiar?

Gan Ning reminded in a low voice: "Director Meng, Liao Yuting's method of killing is also the same. He is good at using knives, and he likes to stab people directly from the back of the neck."

Liao Yuting?
On the "Firebird", he never showed up, and he is now in Wuhan.

Did he do it?

Qi Chuanfu was hunting Masao Kosaka, why did Liao Yuting kill him?
Could it be that Liao Yuting has colluded with Masao Kosaka?
"Take me to see the body."

Meng Shaoyuan said in a deep voice.

……

Qi Chuanfu's body was lying there.

Meng Shaoyuan squatted beside the corpse and looked at it for a long time, constantly checking something.

After a while, he stood up: "Captain Pan."

"exist."

"Have you had some leaks recently?"

"How do you know?" Pan Junguang was taken aback.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I think Qi Chuanfu is inseparable from these leaks."

"Huh? Qi Chuanfu? No way, this person is quite reliable."

"Is it reliable?" Meng Shaoyuan pointed to Qi Chuanfu's body: "Look at the leather shoes he is wearing. They are genuine British products. They cost about 800 yuan a pair, which is very expensive."

800 yuan?
Pan Junguang gasped.

"And that watch." Meng Shaoyuan raised his wrist: "It's the same brand as the watch I'm wearing, Longines. Captain Pan, you may not be able to afford it after working for a few years. He is a small captain. , or the family has money, otherwise how can they afford it? But I guess his family must have no money."

"Yes, his family has no money, but how do you know?"

"If you have money, who will come to do our job? Suppose he has a special hobby, and he likes to be an agent, but look at the socks he wears, ordinary coarse socks, the cheapest kind, and they don't match these leather shoes at all. , if the family had money, it wouldn’t be like this.”

Pan Junguang was convinced again.

I thought about it carefully there: "It's fine if you don't say it. Now that you think about it, you really think it's the same thing. In several cases of leaking secrets, including two failed cases of arresting Rite, Qi Chuanfu either directly Responsible, or participated in the operation. But I really never doubted him. It was my negligence, my negligence."

"So, Masao Kosaka didn't escape successfully every time, but he got the news in advance every time before he was arrested." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "You guys have neglected your duties, a small spy, dressed in clothes that are far away Far beyond his salary range, but you didn't notice it at all? Now is an extraordinary period of the Anti-Japanese War, don't you have any vigilance at all?"

Pan Junguang sweated.

How can this be said by a "no position and no authority" person? It is simply that the chief is reprimanding the subordinates there. If this matter is passed on to Director Dai, he will be in bad luck.

He said cautiously: "Meng Section Chief, I was wrong, but it was not easy for me. I finally became a squadron leader, just in case..."

"That depends on your performance." Meng Shaoyuan said nonchalantly.

"I will definitely do what Section Chief Meng said."

This is what Meng Shaoyuan wanted: "You immediately send someone to Qi Chuanfu's house and search it thoroughly for me."

"Yes!"

"Also, go to the telephone office and try to find out where the call to Qi Chuanfu came from."

"Yes."

"Interrogate the members of Qi Chuanfu's team individually one by one to see if we can get any useful information."

"Yes."

At this point, Pan Junguang didn't know what to say other than "yes"!
