With the help of Mr. Ronald, Liu Qixiong's whereabouts gradually became clear.
According to Barbel Ronald, Liu Qixiong arrived in Shanghai about ten days ago. After staying in Shanghai for four days, he returned to Nanjing.
Then he came again within two days.
Then the shooting happened.
Liu Qixiong was frightened and left the public concession that day.
"But he'll be back."
Babel was very sure of one thing.
When Meng Shaoyuan asked why, Babel answered him like this:
"Because Liu Qixiong's luggage is still with me, ah, to be precise, it is the luggage of Liu Qixiong's bodyguards. In the past, he always stayed at my place when he went to Shanghai, but now my financial situation is not good, and he also knows it, so before After coming to Shanghai for the first time, he looked for a place to live on his own. But he brought a lot of bodyguards, so the bodyguards' luggage was temporarily placed with me."
"You happened to have opened your luggage and looked at it, right?" Meng Shaoyuan asked in a somewhat joking tone.
"Yes."
Babel admitted frankly: "It contains some clothes and daily necessities."
Liu Qixiong left in a hurry and forgot to bring his luggage?
Or is it just like Babel said, he will come back soon?
"If it is the latter case, then I can be sure that Liu Qixiong came to Shanghai this time for a big event."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned and said: "Judging from his itinerary, he is not sure how long he will stay in the public concession. Why did he come?"
Wu Jingyi has no interface.
Let's leave this kind of nerve-wracking matter to the young master.
"Waiting for someone, he is waiting for someone!"
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "He is not sure when this person will come to the public concession. There is only a rough time. But this person is very important to him, otherwise he would not take the risk to come to the concession himself.
Who is this guy? It must be someone within us. From Chongqing? Not like that. They can meet in Nanjing, which is safer. Where could it be? Where could it be? "
He kept repeating this sentence there.
"Changsha!"
Suddenly, the place name "Changsha" blurted out from Meng Shaoyuan's mouth: "It is very likely that he is someone from Changsha!"
"Changsha?" Wu Jingyi was startled.
"Changsha!" Meng Shaoyuan said flatly: "The Japanese army failed to attack Changsha for the first time, but they have been preparing for the second attack on Changsha. Liu Qixiong was one of the Chairman's Eighteen Arhats at the time. He knew many generals in the national army. Relationships are also complicated.
Is it possible that he has secretly contacted a certain commander in the Changsha combat sequence and instigated rebellion? If at the beginning of the Second Battle of Changsha, this unit suddenly turns against the enemy on the battlefield..."
"The consequences will be unimaginable." Wu Jingyi said: "Our ninth theater has built a complete line of defense with Changsha as the center. If the fierce battle is in full swing and the situation you mentioned occurs, a big gap will appear on the entire front. The Japanese army can use this as a breakthrough point to surge in!"
Meng Shaoyuan's expression was serious: "Has anyone from Changsha come to Shanghai recently?"
"Yes, a lot." Wu Jingyi blurted out: "As you know, the logistics supply of our national army has always been a big problem. It is said that the elite troops now only have six or two meters per person per day, and it is even more impossible to provide support for local troops. And that's it. Sixty-two meters is already the limit that the country can supplement.
There are also some items such as medicines, anti-virus supplies, daily necessities, etc., which are not guaranteed at all, so each army can only find its own way. How? It’s nothing more than going to several places to purchase. Shanghai has always been an important procurement base from the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the present. Every once in a while, each army will send people to Shanghai to come up with solutions.
Especially after the last battle to defend Changsha, all the remaining supplies of the various ministries were used up. A large number of people poured into Shanghai, all sent by the Changsha combat order troops, especially for the urgent need of purchasing medicines. The deputy commander of the 133rd Division, Zhai Haoju, was seriously injured. The division commander Xia Jiong sent his cronies to Shanghai, but they couldn't buy it anywhere. In the end, it wasn't you, Commander-in-Chief of the 27th Group Army, Yang Sen, who asked you to get a batch of life-saving medicine? "
"I have helped them get enough things. If they need anything, they come to me. Damn it, am I the minister of procurement? Or am I a magician who can get everything they want?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said in a confused manner: " Yang Sen is looking for me, Xue Yue is looking for me, damn, he has one face when he begs me, and uses up me, and he has another face when he wants to shoot me."
"For what you did, it's not unfair to shoot you." Wu Jingyi rolled her eyes at him and then said, "Do you mean Changsha?"
"There must be something wrong there." Meng Shaoyuan said with a straight face: "Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Changsha. The elites of the national army, local troops, and advancing columns. There may be problems in any link. What is difficult is that I can't We know which unit has the problem. Unless Liu Qixiong can be caught."
Wu Jingyi suggested: "Can you check the archives over the years to see which commander of the army Liu Qixiong might have incited to rebel?"
"It can't be done." Meng Shaoyuan said flatly: "First, the time is too tight, and second, our national army's archives are almost non-existent. In the past two years, many of them have been burned and lost. It is impossible to find them in a while. Central Committee We can manage the archives of military officers, but what about those of local troops? Where can we find them?"
I thought about it for a long time: "Immediately send a secret message to Xue Yue, tell him the speculation from Shanghai, and ask him to conduct a secret self-examination internally, but he must be cautious and must not reveal any flaws. Here, we are keeping a close eye on those who have People from Changsha..."
"It's unrealistic." Wu Jingyi said: "How many people came to Changsha, and which army sent them? They took the initiative to contact us, so that's okay, otherwise, it would be difficult for us to grasp them all. Now think about it, your The judgment is reasonable. There is no better excuse to go to Shanghai for purchasing, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion."
"We must catch Liu Qixiong."
Meng Shaoyuan only felt a pain in his head. He clearly judged that something was wrong, but he had no way of knowing if he went deeper. But how easy is it to catch Liu Qixiong?
Even with Ronald's help, whether Liu Qixiong will be fooled, and if he is fooled, whether he can capture him alive is a big question now.
The most important thing is that Feng Keyi's hasty assassination has frightened Liu Qixiong. If he changes his mind and changes the meeting place to another place, then no matter how capable he is, there is nothing he can do.
"Damn Feng Keyi, if Liu Qixiong slips through the net this time, I really have to shoot him." Meng Shaoyuan said viciously: "Send out as many people as you can. I will personally catch this case."
"I know." Wu Jingyi said her mantra again: "No matter what happens, you can always find a way!"
