Lost and Spy

Chapter 922 Quickly solve the case

It's almost time to close the net.

When Meng Shaoyuan came to Lu Wupeng's house, it was an old servant who opened the door.

Dinner is ready, a full table, very sumptuous.

Xu Zhen also arrived early.

"Oh, I wish the boss, I will wait for you."

"Mr. Lu, look, see if these two leather goods are suitable."

"Okay, okay, fine leather goods, don't worry, don't worry."

Lu Wupeng smiled openly, and asked the old servant to put away the leather goods: "I wish the boss, please, please."

Meng Shaoyuan observed Xu Zhen for a while, he was very calm and could not see any flaws.

It seemed that she had thought it through last night.

The three of them sat down, and the cups came and went.

Meng Shaoyuan was very talkative, eloquent all over the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

Xu Zhen who listened was so fascinated that she almost forgot the identity of the other party.

After drinking for three rounds, we chatted very happily.

Suddenly, a sharp air defense siren sounded.

Lu Wupeng's complexion changed.

Why the hell is there an air strike now?

Why didn't I receive instructions before?
Lu Wupeng is an officer of the air defense force. When he hears the air raid siren, no matter where he is or what is on hand, he must rush to report it immediately.

He didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly put on his military uniform: "Boss Zhu, you and Xu Zhen hurry to hide, I can't accompany you."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Lu, please go ahead."

……

Lu Wupeng left, and Meng Shaoyuan called the old servant.

"Master, let's go out and hide."

"What are you afraid of?"

Meng Shaoyuan said casually: "I haven't had enough wine yet, hey, why is there no twice-cooked pork? How can you be so polite if you can't eat twice-cooked pork when you come to Chongqing? Go, fry up some twice-cooked pork for me."

"This……"

"What's this and that." Meng Shaoyuan stared, "I'm your master's guest, do you hear me?"

"Yes Yes."

The old servant went out helplessly.

"action."

Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice.

Xu Zhen didn't dare to neglect for a moment, got up immediately, and slipped into Lu Wupeng's study.

The bookcase is full of books.

Although Lu Wupeng was born as a bandit, he loves reading very much.

It is not easy to find the target in so many books.

But fortunately, Meng Shaoyuan had told Xu Zhen before, just find a book:

"Earth"!
It is a book written by the famous American writer Pearl S. Buck that reflects the lives of ordinary people in China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. It won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Turning over page by page, Xu Zhen found the three words on pages 17, 18, and 19 of the book "The Earth", "she, light, and grain", and these three words have been drawn with a pen trace.

that's it!
Xu Zhen came out with the book and nodded to Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan laughed. He got up, went to the phone in the living room, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Today's night is good."

Just after hanging up the phone, the old servant came out with a plate of twice-cooked pork.

Just as he was about to leave, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said, "Sit down."

"How can there be a reason for a servant to sit with a guest?" The old servant said humbly.

"That's true." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "How can a Japanese spy be on an equal footing with me?"

The old servant was shocked, and was about to pick up the bench, when suddenly he heard a cold sentence:

"Move, you try?"

Point the gun at him!
The old servant froze there.

Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "You were ordered to monitor Lu Wupeng, right?"

"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know, you must know."

At this time, the air defense siren that was so sharp just now suddenly stopped.

Looks like another false positive.

Meng Shaoyuan picked up his gun and fired three shots at the roof "bang bang bang".

Xu Zhen screamed.

Immediately, the door was slammed open, and Li Zhifeng rushed in with several guards.

Meng Shaoyuan pointed at the old servant with a gun: "Take him back."

Like wolves and tigers, Li Zhifeng grabbed the old servant and dragged him out.

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Xu Zhen who was still in shock: "Thank you, thank you for your dedication to the country!"

Xu Zhen boldly asked: "Lu Wupeng, what will happen?"

Meng Shaoyuan got up slowly: "A traitor who betrays the interests of the country like this, do you think he deserves to live in this world?"

……

Damn it, another air defense false alarm.

Lu Wupeng cursed in his heart.

Just about to go back, several people suddenly appeared, and the leader asked, "Lu Wupeng?"

"Yes, it's me, who are you?"

"Wang Nanxing, deputy chief of the Operations Section of the Third Division of the Military Control Bureau."

"Military?"

Lu Wupeng's face turned pale: "What does the military command want me for?"

"Please come with us."

"doing what?"

"You will know when you go. You don't need to report to your chief, we have already talked to him."

……

"This is it."

Upon returning, Meng Shaoyuan immediately handed "The Great Earth" to Yardley who had been waiting there long ago: "You will find what you need here."

……

The password is actually very simple to put it bluntly. Lu Wupeng hid the password in the book "Earth". Add the number of months to the date you reported, add the number of days, and add 10 to find the page number where the password is located.

……

However, these Meng Shaoyuan knew that Yardley and Wei Daming would be able to completely crack it soon, and the only thing he had to do now was to confirm Lu Wupeng's confession immediately.

Sitting in the interrogation room, Lu Wupeng never dreamed that the "Boss Zhu" would be the frightening Meng Shaoyuan!

"What are you arresting me for? What did I do wrong!" Lu Wupeng asked boldly.

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have that much time to spend with you." Meng Shaoyuan didn't bother to say those opening remarks: "You are from Wang Jingwei, and you have been placed in the air defense position all the time. How many pieces of information have you provided for the Japanese?"

How dare he call Mr. Wang by his name?

Lu Wupeng remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, I know." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Not only you, but someone became a spy with you. You instigated the chairman's artillery advisor, the German Herr Weiner, right?"

Lu Wupeng's face was ashen.

He knows everything, knows everything...

……

"According to Lu Wupeng's confession, and Yardley and Wei Daming's urgent deciphering, it can now be confirmed that both Lu Wupeng and Hull Weiner were Japanese spies who instigated rebellion. The main content of the coded telegram was to keep the Japanese bombers above 3600 meters. However, Weber set the range of the Chinese anti-aircraft guns below 3300 meters, which is the main reason why the anti-aircraft guns failed to hit when the Japanese planes bombed them, and our air defense forces repeatedly failed.”

"It's only been two days."

Dai Li listened carefully to the report: "You said three days, but it only took two days to solve this case. Shaoyuan, sometimes I really wonder if you know magic."

You are being polite.

Originally, I could solve the case in an hour. Don't you want to make it too shocking?

Dai Li suddenly asked: "Interrogate Lu Wupeng a few more times to see if there is any information on him. Once it is confirmed that there is no use value, get rid of him."

"Yes! When did we arrest Weiner?"

"Weiner? Why arrest Weiner?"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled, but then he vaguely understood Dai Li's meaning.

"Weiner is also a Japanese spy. You know, I know, and the chairman knows about this, but what can we do?" Dai Li smiled bitterly: "Weiner was invited by the chairman himself. If it is announced that he is a Japanese Spy, where does this make the chairman lose face? And Weiner is a German, so there is no way to move him easily."

Meng Shaoyuan also smiled wryly there: "Mr. Dai, we have worked so hard to solve the case, and the evidence is convincing, but because he is a foreigner, we are wary."

"Do you know why?" Dai Li asked back.

"I know." Meng Shaoyuan replied without hesitation: "Because Weiner is German, Germany has given us a lot of help in the past, including funds, weapons, and consultants. We pay attention to repaying kindness, so we still have some concerns. Yes. In addition, there is another very important reason. The situation in Europe is as tense now. Powerful countries such as Britain and France are also giving way to Germany. Once the Germans are arrested and Germany protests, I am afraid that Britain and France will treat us in the same way put pressure on us."

"I'm very pleased that you can understand the international situation and understand the reasoning behind it." Dai Li sighed, "At this point in the war, we need strong support from the international community. Even if we don't want to support us, we must at least remain neutral."

Meng Shaoyuan now fully understands.

Why did Weiner mysteriously disappear after it was confirmed that he was a Japanese spy? Since then, there has never been any news of the chairman's former artillery consultant in China.

"The chairman was shocked when he heard the report." Dai Li didn't hide anything from his subordinates either: "What he meant was to let Weiner leave China."

"I see." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "In the public announcement, I will remove the content about Weiner. This file will be the top secret of our military control bureau from now on."

Dai Li nodded in satisfaction:
"Shaoyuan, you are a sharp knife in my hand. Not only are you capable, but you handle cases well. What is even more commendable is that you can understand the general idea and understand the meaning of the above. If you can restrain your character, then The future is limitless.”

"Mr. Dai, if Meng Shaoyuan is not Meng Shaoyuan, then he might not be the same Meng Shaoyuan."

Meng Shaoyuan's tongue-twistering words stunned Dai Li before he realized: "You have caused disasters again and again. If you hadn't died, the corpses would have turned into ashes. I won't talk nonsense with you, Lu Wupeng caught me. , you put all your energy on Wang Jingwei's affairs."

"Mr. Dai, are you willing to admit that that person is Wang Jingwei?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with a smirk.

Dai Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Get out, get out, once the task is completed, get out of here and go back to Shanghai immediately, I will be upset when I see you."

"Mr. Dai, then I'm really screwed." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "You said, I have completed another task, and there is no reward at all!"
