The secret war is silent

"Battal Commander, the food for lunch today is good, stewed with sour beans, big fat meat with white flowers..." The person who said it couldn't help but drooled.

"You kid, you're just a bit of a prodigy, it's like you haven't eaten anything good." Battalion Commander Yang scolded with a smile, took a steamed bun from the orderly, and took a bite.

His eyes widened.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of walking to the middle of the pontoon. A thin man in a long coat and small round glasses, who looked like a rural teacher, came out from nowhere with a light machine gun and pulled the trigger at the national soldiers who were eating on the bridgehead position!

Little devil!

"Enemy attack!"

Battalion Commander Yang was so frightened that he flew away. He had been a soldier for so long and had never encountered such a situation. He quickly pushed his orderly down.

There was a loud sound of gunfire, and then the entire team crossing the bridge instantly became chaotic. Several people who looked like farmers also took out weapons from the carts like magic and launched an attack on the bridgehead position.

The orders from above were indeed correct. This little devil actually disguised himself as a refugee and mingled with the real refugees to carry out a sneak attack.

It was the time they chose to eat at noon, so their vigilance was a little relaxed.

The Chinese defenders on the shore position were caught off guard. Many soldiers were shot or died directly before they could react.

If it hadn't been for the warning of "enemy attack" shouted by Battalion Commander Yang, the Japanese hiding among the refugees would have charged right in front of them.

If this Japanese death squad were to occupy the bridgehead position, the problem would be serious.

As long as the pontoon bridge has not been blown up, it is equivalent to building a convenient channel for the enemy to attack.

For such a mistake, not to mention the punishment, even shooting would be too much.

This encounter came too suddenly. While organizing the troops to counterattack, Battalion Commander Yang quickly ordered the orderlies to report to their superiors.

…

"Brother, you have been studying this for a long time, have you gained anything?" Li Fu knocked on the door and walked into the study.

"No, how could it be so easy to gain something?" Luo Yao gritted his teeth. At least there were no less than three people who handled these investigation data, and none of the people who handled it was a fool.

Especially Li Haihuai. This information has been in his hands for more than half a year, but he has never thought about finding out the mastermind behind the "Wenxi Fire"?

Of course, this case has been finalized and the responsible persons have been shot. Even if someone picks it up again, no one will overturn it.

Even if there was a spy behind the scenes, the three guys who were shot took the blame, so it was not a pity to die.

The death of so many people could have been avoided. If it is not their responsibility, then whose responsibility is it?

Can't get rid of it.

Having said that, doesn't it mean that the truth is not needed? Of course it is, otherwise how could we be worthy of the innocent souls who died in that fire?

"I have also read the investigation files and eyewitness testimonies. There is nothing suspicious, but there is a lack of evidence. There is nothing we can do about it. What was the situation at that time? How much evidence can be left after a fire?" Li Fu said.

"Don't you realize that these three fire points are very strange?" Luo Yao asked.

"Buzhuang, oil shop and coffin shop, these three have no connection at all?" Li Fu said.

"Why did Buzhuang catch fire?"

"It was the clerk who heard someone outside calling for a water leak. He took a kerosene lamp and wanted to come out to check the situation. He accidentally tripped and fell. The kerosene lamp spilled in his hand and lit the cloth on the shelf. He fell to the ground and fainted. As a result, the fire became more and more intense..."

"Where's the oil mill?"

"The owner of the oil mill usually likes to smoke dry cigarettes. The tobacco on his dry cigarette pole was not completely extinguished that day. It was put together with the clothes he usually wears for work. He works in the oil shop, and the clothes are covered with grease. This grease is flammable. It's not normal to catch fire. He himself fell asleep and was woken up by the fire."

"The coffin shop?"

"The prepared coffin needs to be painted with tung oil. This tung oil is flammable. That day, the boss went out to get wood, and the man who was looking after the house escaped unharmed. However, the man was killed in the fire. After the investigation of the scene, it should be that the coffin was painted at night. When I was pouring tung oil, I knocked over the lantern and a fire broke out instantly."

"Okay, if you look at these three fires separately, there is no problem at all. Each has its own explanation, and the causes and consequences are reasonable. However, if you look at them together, there is a problem."

"Brother, are you talking about the time when they happened?" Li Fu squinted slightly and immediately understood what Luo Yao meant.

"Yes, the timing is such a coincidence. Shortly after the fire broke out in the South Gate Hospital for Wounded Soldiers, these three fires were set off. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Luo Yao nodded, "And they were all outside the South Gate. , judging from the distances of the three fire points at that time, the nearest one was 100 meters, and the farthest one was only 500 meters."

"Also, the causes of the fires in these three cases are not without problems. First of all, the first case, the cloth shop's clerk, should be quite clear about the layout of the cloth shop and the placement of the cloth. This clerk is not a newbie. He has been working in Buzhuang for three years, so when he was sent, he was unfamiliar with the situation and tripped, so why did he trip?"

"Someone moved something, but the guy was not paying attention in the dark, so he tripped and fell."

"The guy is short-sighted and he forgot to wear his glasses."

"this……"

"Acquaintance?" Li Fu was slightly surprised.

Only an acquaintance knows this guy's situation so well, otherwise he would not have devised such a seamless method of arson.

"Let's talk about the second case. Although the owner of the oil shop doesn't seem to care about cleanliness, in fact, he can't help it. He can't keep his clothes clean while doing this job. Moreover, after the clothes are contaminated by oil stains, they will not be clean as time goes by. It can't be washed clean, but since he runs an oil shop, he naturally understands the principle of banning fireworks. It's true that he likes to smoke dry cigarettes, but every time he smokes, he has a habit of completely dousing the tobacco with water, but he didn't do that that day. , Isn’t it weird that you also put the tobacco pipe pole with your clothes?”

"That night, his friend invited him to dinner. He got drunk, but someone else sent him home." Li Fu said.

"Then what do you mean, the friend who sent him back is suspected?"

"His friend seemed to have been burned to death in the fire." Li Fu recalled it, and it seemed to be mentioned in the file.

"Does it look like murder and silence?"

"Well……"

"There is one last case. The clerk at the coffin shop accidentally knocked over the oil lamp in his hand when he was painting the coffin with tung oil. The fire fell and not only set the coffin shop on fire, but also burned him to death. Logically speaking, everyone At night, the boss is not here, are the guys so diligent?"

"Someone needs it the next day, so we have to work overnight." Li Fu said.

"This is a reasonable explanation. However, even if he accidentally knocked over the lantern in his hand and set the coffin on fire, he still had the opportunity to call someone or save himself. But why did he die in the fire?"

"Perhaps he was only thinking about putting out the fire, but the tung oil burned and the smoke billowed, and it was too late for him to run out. This can also be judged from the shape of his body found at the scene later."

"Where's the autopsy report?"

"The autopsy report confirmed that he was indeed burned to death after suffocation and coma. There was no trace of homicide." Li Fu said.

"Yes, there are reasonable explanations for these three cases. Even if there are some unreasonable parts, they can still be justified. The chain of evidence is also very complete, almost seamless. Except for the coincidental timing of the occurrence, it is just right. It served to mislead the second guard regiment in the city and set fire to the city in advance, causing a human tragedy." Luo Yao sighed.

"Brother, I know you want to get to the bottom of this unsolved case, but you also have to eat. If you don't eat, how can you have the energy to investigate the case?" Li Fu said.

"Are you here to ask me to eat?"

"Of course, otherwise what would I do here? Everyone is waiting for you to eat together." Li Fu rolled his eyes.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go eat. I've been hungry for a long time. If you didn't tell me earlier, it's true." Luo Yao complained.

"I've called you three times, but I have to come over and tell you..."

…

Halfway through the meal, Chen Zerong walked over to the restaurant with a telegram in his hand and handed it to Luo Yao: "Team Qin, the battlefield report was just sent."

Luo Yao took it, glanced at it, showed a hint of surprise, and then gave the message to Li Fu.

"This little devil is quite a thief. He actually sneaked in among the refugees and attacked us. He was really careless." Li Fu said in surprise after reading the content.

"Our trouble is coming." Luo Yao looked serious. These Japanese soldiers were disguised as refugees, so they were easy to identify. As long as they opened their mouths, they couldn't hide. But what if they were well-trained agents?

If they want to infiltrate, ordinary Chinese military officers and soldiers who have no counter-espionage experience may not be able to identify them at all.

"Are you saying that Japanese soldiers disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into our defense area?" Li Fu took a breath of air.

"This group of little devils wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the position on the south bank of the pontoon bridge and open up a path for the following troops. That's why they were exposed. How many of them were not exposed?" Luo Yao asked.

"Then we need to remind Commander Xue quickly. If these little devils who infiltrate take advantage of this loophole, the consequences will be disastrous." Li Fu said hurriedly.

"What I can think of is not that Commander Xue, who dealt with the Japanese army on the first day, could not have thought that he was not afraid of these ordinary Japanese soldiers who had infiltrated in, but their agents who had infiltrated in. Then their survivability was much stronger than that of ordinary Japanese soldiers, and they were more dangerous. Bigger." Luo Yao said, "It's even possible that they are coming for us."

"Isn't that just right?"

"It's not clear yet whether any Japs agents have infiltrated in, but I'm telling you to be on guard," Luo Yao said.

"Well, I understand. I must be more vigilant." Li Fu solemnly agreed.

…

Mountain City·Songlinpo, Veterinary Station No. 84.

"Deputy station chief Gong, the 'Nail' secret message." Wen Xueren came to Gong Hui personally to report, which was naturally confidential.

Gong Hui nodded: "Give it to me."

The "nail" is Liu Jinbao. He usually does not contact Gong Hui and Luo Yao directly, but once he does, it means that he has extremely important information that even the Military Command Headquarters has to hide.

Only Luo Yao has the password to the "Nail" secret code. After Luo Yao left the mountain city, he handed the password to Gong Hui.

Gong Hui translated "Nail"'s secret message, glanced at it, and her expression changed instantly. It was indeed very important information.

…

"Qin group, it's the fingering of deputy station chief Gong, and it uses the 'LM-2' code." Chen Zerong, who was responsible for receiving the telegram, suddenly ran over and reported to Luo Yaohui that this code was only known within the code interpretation room, and the core members They all have their own encryption algorithm, and only Luo Yao masters this algorithm.

In other words, in an emergency, Luo Yao can communicate with each of them one-on-one without others knowing the content.

The content of the telegram was not much, but the message conveyed was very large. Kondo Keiichi left Jiangcheng and his whereabouts are unknown.

In Jiangcheng, the relationship between Kondo Keiichi's secret service and the original Japanese military secret service, the Special High School Military Police, was not very good.

After Kondo came, a lot of power was taken away from the Super High School Division, the Military Police and even the pseudo-police department.

Kondo Keiichi has the Sword of Shangfang, and he was relatively restrained at first, but now he cares about everything, wants everything, and behaves extremely greedy.

In doing so, he offended all the original vested interests, such as Shigenori Takeshima of the Military Police.

There is also Lieutenant Colonel Sugita Kotaro, who has been promoted to consultant of the River City Police Department.

Kondo Keiichi has a good relationship with Jinghai's Yingzuo. He also supports No. 76 in establishing a branch station in Jiangcheng. This is clearly to seize the power of these local traitors in Jiangcheng, and has been secretly targeted and resisted by Han Liangze, Gu Mosheng and others.

"Nail" took advantage of the conflicting relationship between the two parties to obtain a lot of information. Of course, the Japanese will not easily leak the core information. They still do not trust the Chinese in essence, and they only use it.

After Erlang Domen was transferred to Jinling, the investigation of the "River God" team was suspended.

Although Kotaro Sugita is very willing to investigate, the person he relies on is the leader of the "River God" team. Now it has been renamed the "Nail" team, and it is even more impossible to find anything.

The "River God" team went completely into hiding.

The "He Bo" team led by Gu Yuan is on another line...

Both lines are now playing an important role. The information provided by these two lines has helped Dai Yunong earn a lot of face in front of the old man.

These two lines were created by Luo Yao and were the latent strategies set by Luo Yao, and the current leaders are all graduates of the temporary training class.

A student that Dai Yunong is proud of.

"Be sure to check out Kondo Keiichi's movements and report quickly!" Luo Yao personally drafted a message, encrypted it, and asked Chen Zerong to send it directly back to Shancheng.

After receiving it from Shancheng, just send the original text directly to Jiangcheng’s ‘Nail’ team at the agreed contact time.

He rarely gives tasks to Nail because he is afraid of Dai Yunong's suspicion. Although he has no idea of ​​setting up a mountain, there are still some things that should be paid attention to.

Kondo Keiichi has been mobilizing all resources to investigate himself recently. He does not disclose much information, but if he wants to investigate, he can still find some.

As long as you do something, it will definitely leave traces. It is impossible to completely erase it. This is the saying that the passing geese leave a sound and the passing people leave traces.

But whether it can be detected is another matter.

There are still a lot of resources that Kondo Keiichi can mobilize. If his guess is correct, he left Jiangcheng at this time with only one purpose, to come to him.

He doesn't know much about this opponent, but this kind of person has a shortcoming, he is very conceited.

Visiting and studying outside, there is only one chapter today, no need to wait!
