War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 804 The Information That Could Not Be Sent

In the temporarily rented garage, under the pale fluorescent tubes, a dirty double-ended gun oiler was soaking in the steaming stainless steel washbasin.

During the long wait and the bustle of changing the hot water and paint stripping water again and again, the solidified red and white paint in the oil pot gradually softened, and Wei Ran hooked it out bit by bit with a wire.

Contrary to his expectations, when the paint in the two spouts of the gun oiler was almost cleaned, he actually found something inside.

However, what everyone present did not expect was that there were two golden false teeth hidden in one of the chambers of the gun oiler!And what was hidden in the other chamber was a Mauser pistol bullet!

Looking at each other with Xia Shushi and II, Wei Ran took the paper towel from Sui Sui and carefully wiped the paint on the bullet, then took the two pliers that II found from the off-road vehicle, Carefully separate the bullet from the casing.

Carefully dumping the contents of the bullet case onto a paper towel held by Sui Sui, everyone found that it was a small rolled up note.

"Hot Kettle"

While talking, Wei Ran took a new pair of rubber gloves from Anfei Ya and put them on.

Hearing this, Sui Sui was the first to react, turned around and put the kettle on the table, and unplugged the heater plugged in under Wei Ran's signal.

After blowing on the steam from the mouth of the pot, Wei Ran nodded in satisfaction, tore off the mask and took a layer of sprayed flannelette, then put the paper ball on it and wrapped it tightly, tied it tightly with the lanyard of the mask, and hung down carefully The mouth of the jug, let it hang above the water, covered the wooden cork.

"What are you doing?" The Second asked curiously.

"Soften the paper, right?"

Xia Shushi answered Wei Ran's question, "The little note has been in the bullet casing for more than half a century. Although it will not be oxidized into pieces, it must have become brittle. Steam it with water to soften it a little bit. , it won’t break when you open it later.”

"That's about it"

Almost at the same time Xia Shushi finished explaining, Wei Ran uncorked the bottle again, brought up the small bag of velvet cloth that had just been put in it not long ago, opened it carefully, and unfolded the rolled paper ball little by little. Sui Sui, who was watching the excitement with big eyes, also read out the contents of the note word by word.

"Yomiuri. News. News. Is. Japan. Japan. Spy. Mechanism. Institution. Wireless. Wire. Electric. Frequency. Rate. 297 Password. Code. This. For. Read. Sell. News. News. When .day.head.version.head.article"

After the note was fully unfolded, Sui Sui also finished reading the entire content, and then, the girl read it again in one breath, "The Yomiuri Shimbun is a devil's spy agency, the radio frequency is 29.7, and the password book is the headline of the Yomiuri Shimbun that day? !"

"That's interesting." Xia Shushi took over the conversation, "You know the one who is free of electricity now, don't you?"

"I've heard it in the news, why are we talking about this?" Er Shi asked in harmony.

"The point is not her. Her father Aung San and the Expeditionary Army are contemporaries, and they have a long history."

Xia Shushi cleared his throat and said, "Her father first wanted to come to China to seek foreign aid, to help Miandian become independent from the British, but by accident, he was caught by the devils in Ludao, China.

This Aung San quickly chose to cooperate with the devils and became a Burmese traitor. After studying with the devils for a few years, he returned to his hometown and organized an independent army free of electricity.

Inaccurately speaking, this military organization is similar to our Chinese puppet army at that time, but its combat effectiveness is much stronger. It not only helped the devils defeat the expeditionary army in the first Sunshine Battle, but also treated the prisoners of the expeditionary army. The scammers in the North are no different. "

"And then?" Sui Sui asked subconsciously, but she couldn't hear any connection between Aung San and what was mentioned in the note just now.

"Later, seeing that the devil was about to end, Aung San sold the devil again and turned to cooperate with the British guy. His operation also gave the free electricity the status of a victorious country, and he barely got a good death."

Xia Shushi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain, "But what we are going to talk about is not him, but a tough devil named Suzuki Keiji during his years of training in the devil country.

This Keiji Suzuki is not only the major general of the devil's army, but also the person in charge of the southern organization in the devil's Burma.The ghost knows why this person fell in love with Aung San. When Aung San was sent to Guizi Country for further study, he not only tried his best to train him and recommend him, but even sold his belongings to ask Aung San to play with women for fun.

So from this point alone, if this Suzuki Keiji hadn't taken a fancy to Aung San's ass, he might really be his bole. "

Speaking of this, Xia Shushi pointed to the note that Wei Ran had rolled up and stuffed back into the shell, "The following is related to the Yomiuri Shimbun mentioned in it. This Keiji Suzuki was sent to the Free electricity to engage in espionage activities.

In February of the second year, the Southern Agency directly under the base camp was established in Freeden, and the head of the agency was Keiji Suzuki, who was aliased as Nan Yishi.

The purpose of this organization, or the purpose of Keiji Suzuki being sent to the free electricity, is to instigate the uprising of the free electricity people and cut off the aid from the allies to our China. Also, the Aung San just mentioned was the one he had taken a fancy to at that time. , and then cut off Hu and sent him to Guizi Country for further study. "

"But this and."

Before the second question could be fully asked, Xia Shushi said, "At that time, Keiji Suzuki, whose pseudonym was Nan Yishi, was the head of the Yangon branch of "Yomiuri Shimbun" and the secretary general of the Japan-Myanmar Association in Yangon. Active, it was 1940."

"So, the person who held the gun oiler at that time got this important information by accident for some reason?"

Wei Ran pinched the bullet case that had been reloaded, "It seems that this important information has not been sent out."

"It seems so at the moment." Xia Shushi sighed regretfully, "otherwise we would have no chance to see this note."

"I remember you said that you asked where the boss's little daughter-in-law came from?" Wei Ran asked Xia Shushi while handing the bullet to the Second King.

"Free Electricity Sagaing"

Xia Shushi thought for a while and continued, "Manxi Town under Yingduo County, he didn't say anything more specific. At that time, whether it was the British who fled ahead of time, or the Fifth Army Headquarters who entered Savage Mountain, or asked The 96th Division of the Fifth Army that retreated north to Yunnan Province all passed through here."

"At least we have some clues"

While speaking, Wei Ran picked up the gun oil pot that had completed the information transmission task and asked, "How about leaving this little thing for me as a souvenir?"

Hearing this, the Second Emperor subconsciously looked at Xia Shushi, and seeing the latter's indifferent face, he immediately nodded and said, "Brother Wei will give it to you if he likes it!"

"Then I'm welcome"

While speaking, Wei Ran took off his rubber gloves and directly covered the greasy gun oil pot, and put it in his pocket carelessly.

"Since the secret in the oil pot has been solved for the time being, let's find a place to have a supper."

The Second Emperor wrapped the bullet in paper and stuffed it into his wallet, and while beckoning everyone to go out, he said, "I haven't even eaten a bite of food."

"Let's go back to the one we went to yesterday!" Xia Shushi suggested.

"Let's all get in the car!"

The Second King had already cut off the power supply of this garage while he was speaking, he pulled the shutter door carelessly and got into his off-road vehicle first.

Xia Shushi, who was in charge of driving, waited until the commercial van in which Wei Ran and others were riding started to ask, "Brother Wei, what should we do next?"

"At present, we can only look through the devil's files." Wei Ran grinned at this point, "but it depends on whether there are relevant records in the open files of the Americans."

"These devils really listen to my father now," Xia Shushi joked helplessly.

"In addition, you can check the history of the address just now to see how it was recovered from the devils, and see if there is an expeditionary force participating in the recovery operation."

Wei Ran paused at this point, "If there are any, we can see if there are any clues related to Liang Yimin."

"Leave this kind of thing to me!" Xia Shushi agreed confidently.

Wei Ran was about to say something more, but his cell phone rang, and the caller was the lawyer Carlos from the United States.Knowing this time, he remembered that the other party seemed to be coming to China these days.

Thinking of this, Wei Ran quickly connected the phone, and at the same time, a warm greeting from the Hong Kong and Taiwan accent translator came from the other side.

After chatting with Carlos under the translation of the other party, Wei Ran also apologized and expressed his regret that he could not meet in other places.

After some pleasantries, Xia Shushi hung up the phone, and Xia Shushi said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, it seems that inviting you over this time seems to have really delayed your affairs."

"It's okay." Wei Ran put away his phone and said jokingly, "Anyway, we're all here, and we won't be able to go back for a while, so you just have to treat us well."

"Surely entertained you well"

Xia Shushi almost patted his chest to make a promise, but then he said, "Now you have seen those things, and you also found that note, which is a big gain. But I guess this will happen in a short time. It's impossible to buy that helmet, Wei Ran, why don't you go to Zibei with me in a few days?"

"Listen to your arrangement"

Wei Ran said in a tone of listening and respecting, "But we have only been together for more than a week, and we still have a few Russian friends who are going to celebrate the New Year with us."

"Then play here for three days, and go to Zibei's for three days!"

Xia Shushi easily arranged the itinerary, and then brought the topic back to the note he found, "How about telling me what you think of the note while you're not there?"

“There is still too little information”

Wei Ran pressed the gun oil pot in his pocket, and after thinking for a while, he said, "However, since these things are put together with the things that the boss saw before, we can easily deduce some directions."

"Tell me specifically," Xia Shushi urged, and at the same time slowed down the speed of the car a little.

"We have speculated before that there may be four to five people who brought those things into Savage Mountain. We also speculated that Liang Yimin died or survived."

Wei Ran simply took out the gun oil jug in his pocket and shook it, "But the important information hidden in it has obviously not been passed on. If our previous assumptions are true, if these things belong to Liang Yimin, then I think he is likely to Did not survive."

"Didn't you just say that you speculated that there might be four to five people entering Savage Mountain?" Sui Sui, who was listening to the excitement, couldn't help but said.

"That's the problem"

Wei Ran put the gun oil pot back into his pocket, "Either, Liang Yimin died very suddenly, such as being attacked and so on, so that he didn't have time to tell the people around him about the information. Or, go with him For some reason, he can't believe it. In contrast, I am more inclined to the former."

"That is to say, Liang Yimin obtained important information during his lifetime."

Xia Shushi followed Wei Ran's train of thought and said, "Then he entered Savage Mountain with information, and passed away suddenly for some reason on the way, and his comrades who were traveling with him didn't know about the information, so he and his The relic was left somewhere and never returned."

"Did you notice a problem?"

Wei Ran asked abruptly, "Let's assume that Liang Yimin obtained the information as you said just now, so since he has such information, why didn't he tell his superior immediately?"

"You mean, he's separated from his superior?" Xia Shushi asked very quickly.

"I think it may be more accurate to express it in terms of catching up."

Looking at the night scene outside the window, Wei Ran made his own guess perfectly, "Liang Yimin may have separated from the large army that entered Savage Mountain precisely because he discovered the important information, so in order to send the information to his superiors, You must enter Savage Mountain."

"If that's the case, the orthographic characters on the helmet can explain it clearly."

Xia Shushi said quite excitedly, "He was almost chasing the large troops that entered the Savage Mountain all the way, and he would definitely see the corpses of his comrades along the way, so those orthographic numbers are actually..."

"Maybe." Wei Ran agreed ambiguously, "but these are only guesses after all."

"I'll look it up in this direction"

After Xia Shushi finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone, and while waiting for the red light, he used the method of recording to roughly record the two people's speculation just now.

In their respective thoughts, the car finally stopped on the side of the road near a food street.

I have to say that this is definitely a good place to eat late at night, and it is also the starting point for the four girls headed by Sui Sui to completely give up the naive idea of ​​diet control and weight loss.

For the next hour or so, the four girls lingered among the small stalls, while the three of Wei Ran followed slowly, continuing to chat about the direction of the next investigation.

At the end of the chat, II gritted his teeth and said, "If things are really as you guessed, it's not that we can't go for a free trip."

"Aren't you afraid of getting your waist pinched when you go there?" Xia Shushi reminded, rolling his eyes.

"Let my brother-in-law help figure out a solution when the time comes." The second generation said nonchalantly, his tone full of confidence.

"If your brother-in-law agrees to help, I will go with you then." Xia Shushi said without thinking, obviously trusting the second brother-in-law extremely.

Seeing these two people looking at him, Wei Ran spread his hands, "Look at the schedule, if you catch up with the time, and you won't be squashed, I'll go for a walk with you."

"Do not worry!"

The Second King hooked Wei Ran's neck like a little hooligan, and said very enthusiastically, "At that time, only we will be able to lick other people's waists, and absolutely no one will dare to lick our waists!"

　The mother of the motherland celebrates her birthday, and she has a day off. I wish everyone a happy holiday and the prosperity of the motherland.
