It’s almost time to close the net.
When Meng Shaoyuan arrived at Lu Wupeng's house, it was an old servant who opened the door.
Dinner is ready, the table is full and very sumptuous.
Xu Zhen has also arrived long ago.
"Oh, I wish you all the best, boss, I'll be waiting for you."
"Sir Lu, look, see if these two leather goods fit."
"Okay, okay, fine leather goods, please take the trouble, please take the trouble."
Lu Wupeng smiled brightly and asked the old servant to put away the leather goods: "Bless you, boss, please, please."
Meng Shaoyuan observed Xu Zhen and found that 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, drinking and drinking.
Meng Shaoyuan was a very talkative man. He spoke endlessly about everything from ancient times to modern times, both at home and abroad.
Xu Zhen was so fascinated by what he heard that she almost forgot the identity of the other party.
We drank for three rounds and had a great time chatting.
Suddenly, a sharp air raid siren sounded.
Lu Wupeng's expression changed.
Damn it, why is there an airstrike 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 he is doing, he must rush to report it as soon as possible.
He did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly put on his military uniform: "Boss Zhu, you and Xu Zhen should go and hide for a while. I can't accompany you anymore."
"If you please, Sir Lu, if you please."
…
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 nonchalantly: "I haven't had enough wine yet. Hey, why is there no twice-cooked pork? What's the point of coming to Chongqing and not being able to eat twice-cooked pork? Go ahead and fry some twice-cooked pork for me."
"this……"
"What is this and that?" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened: "I am your master's distinguished guest, do you hear that?"
"Yes Yes."
The old servant had no choice but to go out.
"action."
Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice.
Xu Zhen did not dare to neglect for a moment, immediately got up and slipped into Lu Wupeng's study.
The bookcase is full of books.
Although Lu Wupeng was born a bandit, he loved reading very much.
It's not easy to find your target among so many books.
Fortunately, Meng Shaoyuan had already told Xu Zhen before, just find a book:
"Earth"!
It is a book written by the famous American writer Pearl Buck that reflects the life of ordinary people in China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Turning over page after page, Xu Zhen found the three words, "she, light, grain", on pages 17, 18, and 19 of the book "The Earth" respectively, and these three words were all written with strokes trace.
that's it!
Xu Zhen walked out with the book and nodded towards Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled. He stood up and went to the phone in the living room. He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "It's a good night today."
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 any 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 move the bench when he suddenly heard a cold sentence:
"Move, can you try?"
The gun was pointed at him!
The old servant froze there.
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "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 had been so sharp just now suddenly stopped.
It seemed like another false alarm.
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the gun and fired three shots at the roof "bang bang bang".
Xu Zhen screamed.
Immediately, the door was forced open, and Li Zhifeng rushed in with several guards.
Meng Shaoyuan pointed his gun at the old servant: "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 contribution to the country!"
Xu Zhen boldly asked: "Lu Wupeng, what will happen?"
Meng Shaoyuan stood up slowly: "Do you think a traitor who betrays the interests of the country in this way is worthy of living in the world?"
…
Damn it, another air defense false alarm.
Lu Wupeng cursed in his heart.
Just as he was about to go back, several people suddenly appeared. The leader asked: "Lu Wupeng?"
"Yes, it's me, are you?"
"Wang Nanxing, deputy section chief of the Operations Section of the Third Section of the Military Command Bureau."
"From the military command?"
Lu Wupeng's face turned pale: "What do the military commanders want from me?"
"Please come with us."
"do what?"
"You'll know when you get there. There's no need to report to your commander, we've already told him."
…
"This is it."
As soon as he returned, Meng Shaoyuan immediately handed "The Earth" to Yardley, who had been waiting there for a long time: "You will find what you need in it."
…
The password is actually very simple. Lu Wupeng hid the password in the book "The Earth". Both the sender and the receiver have this book. When decrypting, as long as the person who receives the password telegram holds the book, he can decrypt the password. He will send it to the receiver. Add the number of months to the date, plus the number of days, and then add 10 to find the page number where the password is located.
…
However, Meng Shaoyuan knew that Yardley and Wei Daming would soon be able to completely crack the case. The only thing he had to do now was to immediately confirm Lu Wupeng's confession.
Sitting in the interrogation room, Lu Wupeng never imagined that the "Boss Zhu" would be the frightened Meng Shaoyuan!
"What are you arresting me for? What did I do wrong?" Lu Wupeng asked bravely.
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have that much time to waste with you." Meng Shaoyuan was too lazy to say those opening remarks: "You are Wang Jingwei's man, and you have always been placed in the air defense position. How many pieces of intelligence have you provided to the Japanese?"
How dare he call Mr. Wang by his first name?
Lu Wupeng remained silent.
"If you don't tell me, I know it." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Not only you, there are others who became spies with you. You instigated the rebellion of the Chairman's artillery adviser, the German Herr Weiner, right?"
Lu Wupeng's face turned pale.
He knows everything, everything...
…
"Based on Lu Wupeng's confession and the urgent deciphering by Yardley and Wei Daming, it can now be confirmed that Lu Wupeng and Hull Weiner are both spies for the Japanese to instigate rebellion. The main content of the coded telegram is to keep Japanese bombers above 3,600 meters. height, and Weber set the range of Chinese anti-aircraft guns below 3,300 meters. This is the main reason why anti-aircraft guns were unable to hit when Japanese aircraft bombed, and our air defense forces repeatedly failed to achieve anything."
"It's only been two days."
Dai Li listened to the report carefully: "You said three days, but it took only two days to solve this case. Shao Yuan, sometimes I really doubt whether you can do magic."
You are being polite.
Originally, I could solve the case in an hour. Didn't I 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 he is of no use value, get rid of him."
"Yes! When will we arrest Weiner?"
"Weiner? Why arrest Weiner?"
Meng Shaoyuan was startled, but then he vaguely understood what Dai Li meant.
"Weiner is also a Japanese spy. You know, I know, and the Chairman of the Generalissimo knows this, but what can we do?" Dai Li smiled bitterly: "Weiner was personally invited by the Chairman. If it is announced that he is a Japanese spy, Spy, where does this put the Chairman's face? Besides, Weiner is a German, so there is no way to touch him easily."
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled bitterly: "Mr. Dai, we have worked hard to solve the case, and the evidence is conclusive, but just because he is a foreigner, we are afraid of him."
"Do you know why this is?" Dai Li asked back.
"I know." Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to think and replied: "Because Weiner is a German. Germany has given us a lot of help in the past, with funds, weapons, and consultants. What we pay attention to is repaying kindness, so we still have concerns. . In addition, there is another very important reason. The situation in Europe is equally tense now, and powerful countries like Britain and France are giving way to Germany at every turn. Once the Germans are caught and Germany protests, I am afraid that Britain and France will have the same attitude towards us. Put pressure on us.”
"I'm very happy that you can understand the international situation and understand the rationale." Dai Li sighed longly: "When the war reaches this level, we need strong international support. Even if they don't want to support us, we must at least remain neutral."
Meng Shaoyuan now completely understood.
Why did Weiner mysteriously disappear after he was confirmed to be a Japanese spy? Since then, there has been no news about the former artillery adviser to the Generalissimo in China.
"The Chairman was also shocked when he heard the report." Dai Li did not hide anything from his subordinates: "He meant to let Weiner leave China."
"I understand." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "In the public announcement, I will remove the content about Weiner. This file will be the top secret of our military command bureau from now on."
Dai Li nodded with satisfaction:
"Shao Yuan, you are a sharp knife in my hand. Not only are you strong in ability and excellent in handling cases, but what is even more valuable is that you can recognize the general outline and understand the meaning. If you can restrain your personality, then The future is limitless.”
"Mr. Dai, if Meng Shaoyuan is not Meng Shaoyuan, he may not still be the same Meng Shaoyuan."
Meng Shaoyuan's tongue-twisting words made Dai Li stunned for a moment before he reacted: "You have been in trouble again and again. If you weren't so lucky, your body would have turned to ashes. I won't talk nonsense to you, Lu Wupeng caught him , you put all your energy into 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 mission is completed, go back to Shanghai immediately. I will be upset when I see you."
"Mr. Dai, then I'm really out of here." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "You said, I have completed another task, and there is no reward at all!"
