Dragon Boat Festival's words sent a chill down Brigadier Wang's back.
Perhaps if someone else said this to him, Brigadier Wang would not believe it. After all, no matter how junior his rank was, he was still the commander of the city defense army.
But Dragon Boat Festival is different, this is an existence that can easily crush him to death with one finger.
So Brigadier Wang quickly said: "Yes, I will mobilize manpower to handle it."
Duanwu sighed helplessly and said: "Every city gate needs to be more strictly inspected. It is small for your brothers to accept benefits, but if you let in spies, it will be a big deal. Last night, the Japanese had even contacted the US military adviser They were all killed. So you'd better handle this matter before the commissioner gets angry, otherwise you know the consequences."
"Yes, uncle!"
Brigadier Wang bowed again and responded.
Duanwu glanced at Brigadier Wang and was speechless. I don't know what the chairman thinks that a mediocre person has been placed in such an important position.
Of course, it has nothing to do with him how the Chairman chooses people. His first priority is to find out where the Japanese spies are staying.
And from Brigadier Wang's words, Dragon Boat Festival didn't get any information. At least he got a very valuable piece of information, that is, the Japs were most likely to borrow spies or traitors hidden in the mountain city, and then disguise themselves as recruited workers to sneak into the mountain city.
And in this way, things seem to have become simpler.
Thinking of this, Duanwu suddenly turned around and said to Brigadier Wang: "Send a copy of your register to me as quickly as possible. And you must ensure the safety of these registers, do you understand?"
Brigadier Wang said with some embarrassment: "This, there are a lot of them!"
Duanwu sighed angrily and said: "I will send someone to assist you, but you must ensure the safety of these registers, otherwise you will come to me with your own head!"
"Report, no, there's a fire in the archives!"
Before the Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, soldiers from the city defense army came to report.
Brigadier Wang was stunned on the spot.
And Duanwu scolded: "Why don't you go put out the fire quickly?"
"Hey, put out the fire right away!"
Brigadier Wang ran away in panic, with Duanwu following closely behind.
It was just that when we arrived at the archives room, it was already too late. The fire was raging and no one could get in.
The archive room is full of paper. It would be weird if we could save it in case of fire.
Duanwu looked at the people putting out the fire, then at the chaotic scene, and immediately sealed off the entire headquarters, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
If someone was in or out before the fire, they must be identified.
"Yes Yes!"
Brigadier Wang had no idea at all and quickly ordered people to inform various places.
There are only two doors in the headquarters, one front door and one back door. As long as these two doors are blocked, no one can get out.
Dragon Boat Festival did not leave, just stood there and watched the fire being put out.
Dragon Boat Festival asked Brigadier Wang to find all the people in charge of the archives room. Ask him who entered the archives.
Generally speaking, every archive room is the most confidential place in each department. There is no way for ordinary people to enter the archive room. Therefore, Duanwu felt that there was a high probability that someone within the headquarters did it.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone sneaked into the headquarters and then found the archives and set fire to it.
But this possibility is very small. Because sneaking into the headquarters of the city defense army and then finding the archives and setting fire to it not only requires enough courage, but also enough time and matching infiltration experience. After all, there are many soldiers with guns and live ammunition in the headquarters of the city defense army.
Although the Dragon Boat Festival does not rule out someone infiltrating, there will always be an internal response even if someone infiltrates. Otherwise, if the enemy sneaks in, and he searches each room one by one, how long will it take to find him?
"Uncle, you can't go in, it's too dangerous."
At this moment, Brigadier Wang saw that Duanwu seemed to be trying to walk into the fire scene, and quickly stopped him. Although the fire at this time has been put out. But a house that is overheated can easily collapse. Therefore, Brigadier Wang must not let Duanwu take this risk.
Duan Wu was anxiously looking for clues, so he pushed the other person aside with his hand and said, "Your mission is to find the person I want. I will be responsible for my own safety."
After that, Dragon Boat Festival went directly into the fire scene. The first thing that caught his eye was a burnt corpse.
The clothes on the body had been burned away, and the body was charred beyond recognition.
But the badge on the collar was still there, and Duanwu could tell that the other party was a second lieutenant.
But why did a perfectly good second lieutenant die in a fire?
Dragon Boat Festival didn't think the other party was burned to death. Because under normal circumstances, if a man's body is on fire he will struggle, he will yell.
But obviously the other party didn't. He didn't even move. Because there was a large amount of blood flowing underneath him.
Although the blood stains were burned dry and covered with thick ashes, they were washed away by water. But Dragon Boat Festival can still be seen at a glance.
And when he turned the body over, it just proved his suspicion. The other party was indeed stabbed in the back, and because his back had not been burned by fire, it was still bleeding slowly.
In other words, when this person was stabbed, his back was most likely facing the other person.
And who can enter the archives room and the person who was killed still trust him very much? That must be one of our own people in the city defense army.
In other words, this is the work of an insider.
Duanwu thought: "This city defense army is really bad."
But Dragon Boat Festival still has a question, why did the mole not kill people earlier or later, but had to wait until he came before killing people and destroying evidence?
"etc!"
Duanwu seemed to suddenly think of something. After he entered the headquarters of the city defense army, the mole suddenly thought of the files in the archives room, which recorded evidence that might expose him or the Japanese, so he came When he arrived at the archives room, he met the deceased and silenced him, then set fire to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces of the corpse, and also burned the archives room together.
But there is still a question at this time, why is a person lying on the ground burned beyond recognition?
No matter how big the fire was at that time, it wouldn't be able to burn a person lying on the ground to a blackened body, right?
"Is that the other party?"
Duanwu was thinking, but at this moment, Brigadier Wang came to ask for instructions: "Uncle, I have found everyone. Except for the archivist named Zhou Changhai, who is not here, I have found everyone else."
Duanwu smiled and said: "Haha, very good. I'll go meet them."
"yes!"
Brigadier Wang bowed aside and then made a gesture of invitation.
Duan Wu walked out of the burned archives with a smile on his face and went outside.
Brigadier Wang found a total of more than twenty people, including sentries standing guard near the archives room and staff near the archives room.
Duanwu asked: "Who was the first to discover the fire?"
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing wide-rimmed glasses quickly replied: "I found it. I was about to send some files that needed to be stored in the archives room, but I found smoke coming out of the crack in the door of the archives room. , and then I called someone to put out the fire!"
