In the temporarily rented garage, under the pale fluorescent tube, a dirty double-ended gun oil can was soaking in the steaming stainless steel basin.
During the long wait and the busyness of changing hot water and paint stripping water again and again, the solidified red and white paint in the oil pot gradually softened, and was drawn out bit by bit with iron wire.
Contrary to his expectation, when the paint in the two spouts of the gun oil can was almost cleaned, he actually found something inside.
However, what everyone present did not expect was that hidden in one chamber of the gun oil can were actually two golden dentures! And hidden in the other chamber was a hair
Pistol bullets!
After looking at each other with Xia Shushi and II, Wei Ran took the paper towel handed by Suisui and carefully wiped the paint on the bullet, and then took the two pliers that II found from the off-road vehicle.
Carefully separate the bullet head and bullet casing.
Carefully pouring the contents of the bullet casing onto a paper towel held by Suisui, everyone discovered that it was a small rolled up piece of paper.
“kettle”
As Wei Ran spoke, he took a new pair of rubber gloves from Anfiya's hands and put them on.
Hearing this, Suisui reacted first, turned around and put the thermos on the table, and at Wei Ran's signal, unplugged the thermos plugged in.
After blowing on the steam coming out of the spout, Wei Ran nodded with satisfaction, tore open the mask and took out a layer of velvet cloth, then put the paper ball on top and wrapped it, tied it tightly with the mask's lanyard, and carefully lowered it in
The mouth of the pot is suspended above the water and the wooden bottle stopper is covered.
"What are you doing?" II asked curiously.
“Softening the paper, right?”
Xia Shushi answered Wei Ran's question, "The small note has been placed in the bullet case for more than half a century. Although it has not oxidized into pieces, it has definitely become brittle. Steam it with water vapor to make it softer.
, so that it won’t be broken when you open it later.”
“That’s pretty much it”
Almost at the same time that Xia Shushi finished explaining, Wei Ran also uncorked the bottle again, picked up the small velvet bag that had just been put in, opened it carefully, and unfolded the rolled up paper bit by bit, and before he
Suisui, who was waiting nearby to watch the excitement with big eyes, also read out the contents of the note word by word.
After the note was fully unfolded, Suisui also read the entire content. Then, the girl read it again in one breath, "The Yomiuri Shimbun is a Japanese spy agency. The radio frequency is 29.7. The codebook is the front page headline of the Yomiuri Shimbun that day?
!”
"This is interesting," Xia Shushi took over, "Do you know the Aung Sau Su Chicken that is free of charge now?"
"I heard it on the news, why are we talking about this?" asked the second generation in unison.
"The point is not her. Her father Aung San and the expeditionary force are contemporaries and have a close relationship."
Xia Shushi cleared his throat and said, "Her father originally wanted to come to China to seek foreign aid to help Fudian break away from Britain and achieve independence. However, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was caught by the Japanese who were in Ludao, China.
This Aung San soon chose to cooperate with the Japanese and became a Burmese traitor. After studying with the Japanese for several years, he returned to his hometown to organize an independent army without electricity.
To be inaccurate, this military organization is similar to our Chinese puppet army at that time, but its combat effectiveness is much stronger. It not only helped the Japanese defeat the expeditionary force in the first Sunshine Battle, but also treated the prisoners of the expeditionary force in a way that is similar to that of Myanmar today.
The scammers in the North are no better."
"Then what?" Suisui asked subconsciously. She really didn't hear any connection between Aung San and the content mentioned in the note just now.
"Later, when the Japanese were about to be defeated, Aung San sold out to the Japanese again and turned to cooperate with the British. With this operation, he gave the radio the status of a victorious nation, and he barely got a good death."
Xia Shushi took a breath and continued to explain, "But what we are talking about is not him, but a strong Japanese named Suzuki Keiji during the years when he was studying in the Japanese country.
This Suzuki Keiji is not only a major general of the Japanese army, but also the head of the southern organization in the Japanese Burma. Who knows how this man fell in love with Aung San. When Aung San was sent to the Japanese country for further training, he not only tried his best to train and recommend him
He even sold his belongings to ask Aung San to play with women for fun.
So from this point of view alone, if this Suzuki Keiji hadn’t fallen in love with Aung San’s butt, he might really be his boss.”
Having said this, Xia Shushi pointed to the piece of paper that had been rolled up and stuffed back into the cartridge case, "The following is related to the Yomiuri Shimbun mentioned in it. This Suzuki Keiji was sent to the U.S. in 1940.
Conduct espionage activities without electricity.
In February of the following year, the Minami Agency was established in Waidou, directly under the headquarters. The director of the agency was Suzuki Keiji, whose pseudonym was Minami Mashi.
The purpose of this organization, or the purpose of Suzuki Keiji being sent to Wadian, is to incite the Wadian people to revolt and cut off the aid from the allies to China. Also, the Aung San just mentioned was the one he took a fancy to at that time.
, and then Jie Hu was sent to the country of the Japanese to further his studies.”
"But this and..."
Before II asked the question completely, Xia Shuseki said, "At that time, Suzuki Keiji, whose pseudonym was Minami Masuo, was serving as the Yangon branch director of the Yomiuri Shimbun and the secretary-general of the Japan-Myanmar Association in Yangon.
Active, that was 1940."
"So, the person who was holding the gun oil can accidentally learned this important information for some reason?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Ran held the cartridge case that had been reloaded with bullets, "It seems that this important information was not sent out."
"It seems so so far." Xia Shushi sighed regretfully, "otherwise we would have no chance to see this note."
"I remember you said you asked the boss where his little wife came from?" Wei Ran asked Xia Shushi while handing the bullet to II.
“Free electricity and save money”
Xia Shushi thought for a while and continued, "He did not say anything more specific about the town of Manxi under Yingduo County. At that time, whether it was the British elders who escaped early, the headquarters of the Fifth Army that entered the Savage Mountain, or the
The 96th Division of the Fifth Army that retreated north to Yunnan Province all passed here."
"At least we have some clues."
As Wei Ran spoke, he picked up the gun oil can that had completed the task of transmitting information and asked, "How about leaving this little thing to me as a souvenir?"
Hearing this, the second generation subconsciously looked at Xia Shushi. Seeing the latter's indifferent expression, he immediately nodded and said happily, "Brother Wei, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"
"Then I'm not welcome."
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken off his rubber gloves and directly wrapped the greasy gun oil bottle, then casually put it into his pocket.
"Now that the secret in this oil pot has been solved for the time being, let's find a place to have a late-night snack."
The Second Emperor wrapped the bullet in paper and stuffed it into his wallet. He called everyone out and said, "I haven't even eaten a bite of food."
"Let's go to the one we went to yesterday!" Xia Shushi suggested.
"Everyone get in the car!"
As he spoke, the second generation had already cut off the power supply to the garage, opened the rolling shutter door and was the first to get into his off-road vehicle.
It wasn't until the business van Wei Ran and others were in started to drive that Xia Shushi, who was in charge of driving, asked, "Brother Wei, how should we investigate next?"
"Currently, we can only look through the Japanese files," Wei Ran said with a grin, "but it depends on whether there are relevant records in the files opened by the Americans."
"These Japs really listen to their father now," Xia Shushi teased with a hint of helplessness.
"In addition, you can also check the history of the address just now, see how it was recovered from the Japanese, and see if there is an expeditionary force participating in the recovery operation."
Wei Ran paused after saying this, "If there are any, we can see if there are any clues related to Liang Yimin."
"Leave this kind of matter to me!" Xia Shushi agreed with confidence.
Wei Ran was about to say something more when his cell phone rang, and the caller was the Carlos lawyer from the United States. Only then did he remember that the other party seemed to be coming to China in the past few days.
.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran quickly answered the phone, and at the same time, a warm greeting from the Hong Kong and Taiwanese translator came from the other side.
After chatting with Carlos through the other party's interpreter, Wei Ran also apologized and expressed his regret that he could not meet him in other places.
After exchanging pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Xia Shushi said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. It seems that inviting you over this time really delayed your business."
"It doesn't matter." Wei Ran put away his phone and said jokingly, "We are all here anyway, and we won't be able to go back for a while, so you just have to entertain us well."
"I'll definitely treat you well."
Xia Shushi just slapped his chest and made a promise, but then he said, "Now that you have read those things, and you also found that note, it is a big gain. But I guess it will be a big gain in a short time."
It’s impossible to buy that helmet, Wei Ran, why don’t you go to Lucheng with me for a walk in a few days?”
"It's up to you"
Wei Ran said in a respectful tone, "But we only have a little more than a week in total, and we have a few Russian friends who are planning to celebrate the New Year with us."
"Then let's play here for three days and go to Lushima for three days!"
Xia Shushi arranged the itinerary easily, and then brought the topic back to the note he found, "While we are still there, how about you tell me what you think of that note?"
“There is still too little information at the moment”
Wei Ran pressed the gun oil can in his pocket, thought for a moment and said, "However, since these things are put together with the things the boss saw before, we can easily deduce some directions."
"Tell me more specifically," Xia Shushi urged, while also slowing down the car slightly.
"We have speculated before that there might be four or five people who entered Savage Mountain with those things. We also speculated that Liang Yimin died or survived."
Wei Ran simply took out the gun oil can in his pocket and shook it, "But the important information hidden inside has obviously not been passed on. If our previous hypothesis is true, if these things belong to Liang Yimin, then I think he is likely to
Didn’t survive.”
loubiqu.
"Didn't you just say that you had speculated that there might be four or five people entering Savage Mountain?" Suisui, who was listening to the excitement, couldn't help but said.
"That's the problem"
Wei Ran put the gun oil can back into his pocket, "Either Liang Yimin died so suddenly, such as being attacked, etc., that he didn't have time to tell the people around him about the intelligence. Or, go with him.
There are people who he can't believe for some reason. In comparison, I prefer the former."
"In other words, Liang Yimin obtained important information during his lifetime."
Xia Shushi followed Wei Ran's train of thought and said, "Then he entered Savage Mountain with information, and died suddenly for some reason halfway. His comrades who were traveling with him did not know about the information, so he and his
The relics were left somewhere and never returned.”
"Did you notice a problem?"
Wei Ran asked abruptly, "Let's assume that Liang Yimin obtained the information as you just said. Then since he has such information, why didn't he tell his superiors immediately?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You mean, his and his superiors are separated?" Xia Shushi asked with a very quick reaction.
"I think it might be more accurate to describe it as catching up."
Wei Ran looked at the night scene outside the window and perfected his guess, "Perhaps Liang Yimin got separated from the large army that entered Yeren Mountain because he discovered the important information, so in order to send the information to his superiors, he
You must enter Savage Mountain."
"If that's the case, the correct words on the helmet can be explained clearly."
Xia Shushi said with some excitement, "He was almost chasing the large troops entering Savage Mountain all the way. He would definitely see the corpses of his comrades along the way, so those orthographic characters are actually..."
"Maybe," Wei Ran agreed vaguely, "but these are just guesses after all."
"I will check in this direction."
After Xia Shushi finished speaking, he had already taken out his mobile phone, and while waiting for the red light, he roughly recorded the speculations of the two of them by recording.
In their own thoughts, the car finally stopped on the side of the road near a food court.
I have to say that this is definitely a good place for late-night snacks, and it is also the starting point for the four girls led by Suisui to completely give up on the naive idea of controlling their diet and losing weight.
For more than an hour, the four girls wandered around various stalls, while Wei Ran and the other three slowly followed behind, continuing to chat about the next direction of the investigation.
At the end of the conversation, the second generation gritted his teeth and said, "If things are really as you guessed, it's not like we can't take a trip without electricity."
"Aren't you afraid of getting pinched when you go there?" Xia Shushi reminded, rolling his eyes.
"Let my brother-in-law help me think of a solution then," the second generation said nonchalantly, his tone full of confidence.
"If your brother-in-law agrees to help, I will go with you then." Xia Shushi said without thinking, obviously having great trust in this second-generation brother-in-law.
Seeing the two people looking at him, Wei Ran spread his hands and said, "It depends on the schedule. If I can make it in time, and I won't be pinched, I'll go with you for a walk."
"Do not worry!"
The Second Emperor hooked Wei Ran's neck like a little hooligan, and said very warmly, "At that time, only we can eat other people's waists, and no one will dare to eat our waists!"
