This case was actually not difficult to solve from beginning to end. Meng Shaoyuan became very suspicious as soon as he heard about this case.
Seven people disappeared at the same time, and the security team was not aware of it, leaving no clues. It was simply impossible.
Unless these people volunteer.
Otherwise, as long as there is a slightly louder noise that day, the security team downstairs will immediately notice it.
As for where they went?
This is more understandable.
There are no gods, ghosts, or even fox fairies.
Even if Seventh Brother is kidnapped, there is no way to transport them out.
So they never left the Satisfaction Hotel and hid in the hotel.
To do all this and satisfy the hotel owner and proprietress, it is impossible to do without their full cooperation.
So that day, Meng Shaoyuan walked around the hotel and already knew what was going on.
There were no signs of struggle in the room of seven people.
There is only one way downstairs.
They couldn't have gone out through the main entrance.
Their only way is to enter the utility room, open the secret door of the utility room, and reach the cellar or some hiding place on the first floor.
All they had to do was wait quietly for the people looking for them to leave, and then immediately leave the hotel and blend in with the refugees.
There are so many refugees entering and leaving Wuhe County that it is difficult to detect them.
The key to this operation lies in Wuhe County.
In addition to being supported by the boss and the proprietress, there is another very important factor:
Wuhe County is a small county.
There are only seven or eight police officers in the entire county.
The security team also has no experience in this kind of case.
When the security squad discovers that seven people are missing at the same time, their first reaction is in most cases inexplicable.
They would only think that these seven people were kidnapped. Since they were kidnapped, they must not be in the hotel.
As for how he disappeared? How were you kidnapped? This is not their job.
Then there is the saying of fox fairy.
The most important thing is the identity of Tang Hewen.
He is a representative of the National Government sent by Chongqing, an important member of the Ministry of Finance, and a dignified deputy director.
Who would suspect that he actively cooperated with this "kidnapping case"?
By the time the report reaches Kaifeng and officers are sent over to investigate, the most precious time to solve the case has been lost.
"What I said is generally correct, right?" Meng Shaoyuan calmly recounted the entire case.
"It's almost the same. There are some differences, but the main point is roughly the same." Tang Hewen looked very calm: "You are very smart. Originally, I thought it would take some time for this case to be solved. You solved it so quickly because I didn't." Thought-of."
"This case has no appeal to me. Do you know what it is that really impresses me?" Meng Shaoyuan sighed:
"The Ministry of Finance sent seven people, and all seven of them were your people. When I figured this out, I was shocked.
Seven people, two thousand taels of gold, as long as any one of them is not determined, there is no chance of success. This is the most subtle part of the case.
When I took over this case and checked the files, I found that these seven people were all personally selected by you. At that time, I vaguely guessed that you might be working together to commit the crime.
But I still take chances. You are a close confidant of Minister Kong, and Minister Kong has great trust in you. Besides, even if you select all the people, all seven people in the Ministry of Finance are yours. Isn’t this impossible?
I admire you, I really admire you. I am not only shocked but also admired by your party's ability to penetrate. I think this is probably the biggest scandal in the Ministry of Finance, right? "
"My companions and I, some are my comrades, and some are comrades who developed after I arrived at the Ministry of Finance." Tang Hewen smiled: "I had already made a decision after I was appointed to carry these two thousand taels of gold.
Yan Guanyu, commander of the Puppet Second Army, is a capricious villain. According to our intelligence, Yan Guanyu has reported to the Japanese that he was instigated to rebel. He will not defect on the battlefield even if he accepts the gold.
The plan of Yan Guanyu and the Japanese was to suddenly attack the national army positions at the agreed time to defect when the Nationalist government believed that he had been successfully instigated to rebel, catching the national army by surprise. "
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes." Tang Hewen said immediately: "There is a comrade of ours within the Second Puppet Army, codenamed 'Zhiyuan', and I can ensure the authenticity of this information.
Giving these two thousand taels of gold to him will only help the evil tyrants. Therefore, its true destination and mission is to use it on the people and in places where it is more needed! "
After speaking, he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "Now that you know the whole thing, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do? I'm not prepared for what to do." Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly: "I just need to solve the case. If I want to recover these two thousand taels of gold, I won't bring just one person here.
However, I must find these two thousand taels of gold. "
Tang Hewen didn't quite understand what he heard.
One moment I don’t want to recover the gold, and the next I want to find the gold.
What's the meaning?
"Do you have any ideas?"
As soon as Tang Hewen finished asking, Meng Shaoyuan said: "I need your comrades, to be precise, I need the owner and proprietress of Satisfaction Hotel to do me a favor, maybe make them suffer some pain."
When he finished talking about his needs, Tang Hewen was stunned for a while: "Are you sure your plan can succeed?"
"I am a smart person, and smart people always have smart ways." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
"Just a moment."
Tang Hewen took out a paper and pen and wrote a few words on it:
"Take this with you and go to Wuhe County. The code is, 'I'm afraid of the cold. Find me a room on the south side where I can live alone.'"
"Thank you."
Meng Shaoyuan collected the note: "I can't provide you with any help. I want to stay out of this matter. However, I asked my subordinates to prepare some food for you. I hope you can reach AH smoothly."
Tang Hewen immediately asked: "You knew we were going to AH? Yes, you knew, otherwise you wouldn't have followed us all the way here. What I'm curious about is how you guessed it."
"It's not a guess, it's a judgment." Meng Shaoyuan said: "When I confirm that you disappeared by yourself, I have to figure out where you want to go. It's not difficult to know.
In Henan, your department's strength is very small and its base area is not large. You will not stay in Henan forever. Where to go? Go to places like Shaanxi, Hebei, and Shandong to join the 18th Army? Less likely.
Along the way, there are many Kuomintang-controlled areas and many Japanese-controlled areas. There are many dangers, and you are not very good at choosing. By walking, your fastest and relatively safest route is to go to AH Jiangsu to join the Fourth Route Army! "
