Sheng Muyi thought of Lu Ming. Her father would definitely leave this case to him. This little detective would be chasing after him. It was his character not to die until he reached the Yellow River. In this way, it would be possible to find the camera left in the pawn shop.
In fact, she also felt guilty because she ran away in such a hurry that she couldn't leave too many clues for Lu Ming to refer to. Lu Ming's little head was probably going to explode.
Things still have to start from that afternoon half a year ago.
…
Sheng Muyi had actually discovered that those Japanese people came in and out of the Liuyuan Garden every day, and she and Sheng Di were secretly discussing something all day long, but she didn't interfere at first.
As a grown-up person like Sheng Di, she has the right to make friends of her own. Besides, her father also has several good Japanese friends who have also visited her home.
She came back from outside this afternoon and happened to pass by Sheng Di's house. She overheard a few words, all intermittently. The speaker seemed to lower his voice deliberately, but sometimes he would raise his voice inexplicably.
decibel, this should be caused by the Japanese not being fluent in Chinese.
When she heard the words Northeast, Northeastern Army, expelling Marshal Zhang, 520, Xuantong, etc., she suddenly felt nervous. She felt that these Japanese did not look like people from the business world, but should be officers of the Kwantung Army.
But what did the Kwantung Army officers come here to discuss with Sheng Di? This aroused her alarm.
Especially when combined with words such as expelling Marshal Zhang and Emperor Xuantong, her suspicion increased.
She didn't dare to stay longer, and walked quickly on tiptoes, and accidentally found a house door ajar. She remembered that the Japanese seemed to have been arranged by Sheng Di to live here.
She suddenly had a bold idea, and took the opportunity to go in and check while they were all in Shengdi's house. Maybe she could find something that could explain the real purpose of these Japanese people's visit to the Liuyuan.
Sheng Muyi had her own reasons for thinking this way. She was afraid that Sheng Di was too young and would be deceived by the Japanese for a little profit. The Japanese were very cunning and dishonest, so they were called devils.
There was a Japanese standing outside the house, seemingly on guard duty. As soon as Mu Yi had an idea, she called the maid who was following him and whispered a few words.
The maid smiled and went over to talk to the Japanese, asking him where he was from, what he was doing in Liuyuan, whether he was used to eating, and whether he lived comfortably, etc. Anyway, she just had nothing to say.
The Japanese thought it was the master who sent someone to care for their guests. Maybe he hadn't been in contact with a woman for too long, so he was completely attracted to the maid.
Sheng Muyi took advantage of an opportunity to sneak into the room and immediately saw the cowhide briefcase placed on the table.
There are obvious differences between the items issued by the army and ordinary items. They are not only bulky and unsightly in style, but they are also very strong and wear-resistant.
The cowhide briefcase must be a military item, which shows that the Japanese in the Liuyuan Garden are not businessmen at all.
Sheng Muyi went over to secretly open the bag and saw that there was nothing else inside. There was only a stack of paper with text and pictures on it. The text was all in Japanese, but most of it was in Chinese characters. She could also guess a little bit. In addition, the pictures
There are signs of Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin, which look like a map and a battle plan.
Sheng Muyi had never seen an army's battle plan, but the word that came to her mind at that time was: battle plan.
She endured her violent heartbeat, quietly walked out of the house with the roll of paper, and returned to her study.
Yuan Ziyuan was reading in her study. When she saw her coming in in a panic with a pale face, she was startled and hurriedly asked her what happened.
Sheng Muyi handed those papers to Yuan Ziyuan. After Yuan Ziyuan browsed them quickly, without saying a word, she picked up the camera on the bookshelf and started taking pictures. While taking pictures, Yuan Ziyuan explained to Sheng Muyi what it was.
Sheng Muyi was so frightened that her legs trembled when she heard it, but for a moment, she thought this thing might be fake.
If this was really a top-secret Japanese military combat plan, how could it be placed casually in an unlocked briefcase and placed openly on the table in the room, as if to tempt people to take a peek.
"Don't worry about whether it's true or not. We must find a way to inform Marshal Zhang in Peiping about the contents of this plan." Yuan Ziyuan has been very bold since she was a child, and her brain is very flexible. Although she is very nervous now, she is obviously much calmer than Sheng Muyi.
Mu Yi thought about it. They couldn't tell whether this document was true or false. It had to be left to military experts to judge. If it was false, then just throw it aside. But if it was true, they let it go.
If they were successfully attacked by the Japanese army in Northeast China, they would become national criminals.
After taking the photo, Ziyuan said: "You have to return this plan to its original place immediately. It is best not to let anyone find that it has been touched. I will go out to find a place to develop the film now."
Yuan Ziyuan said, hid the camera in her bag and hurriedly left the Liuyuan Garden.
Later, when I thought about it, it was just a fluke. If Yuan Ziyuan hadn't made the immediate decision to leave Liuyuan, there might have been no chance at all later.
Sheng Muyi hurriedly returned the same way. The maid was still chatting with the Japanese officer. The conversation became more and more heated, as if sparks were flying. The Japanese officer looked obsessed and completely forgot about the matter of vigilance and sentry.
Liuyuan has always been known as the safest private residence in Shanghai. There are many gates inside and outside. Sheng Di is the owner of Liuyuan, so the Kwantung Army officers completely relaxed their vigilance.
According to the rules, Colonel Hejian would never let a top-secret document out of sight. If it was kept in the room, it should be kept close to his body and should be placed under his pillow even when sleeping.
The same was true for the officer guarding the room. At first, he just thought that a pleasant-looking girl came over and she spoke nicely. Later, the more we chatted, the more speculative they became. The officer even wondered if this could be an unexpected encounter in Shanghai.
ah.
Sheng Muyi quickly entered the room and put the documents back into the briefcase. Everything was still the same. No one entered the room during this period.
After doing this, she quietly walked out and returned to her room in the inner house.
Seeing that the lady had returned to the inner house, the maid began to slowly reduce the intensity of the chat. Finally, she gave the officer a fake hug and waved goodbye affectionately.
The officer had been immersed in fantasy and never noticed Mu Yi entering or leaving the room behind him.
After doing this, Mu Yi felt as if she had been a spy for once, which was exciting and a little scary. Although it was not a big deal if she was caught, after all, this was her own home, and she was the real owner here.
No matter what, it is always disgraceful to be caught red-handed while peeking at other people's documents, and in a guest's room.
She was afraid for another reason. The other party was an officer of the Kwantung Army. If he jumped over the wall in a hurry, he might cause trouble and hurt innocent people.
Sheng Muyi hurriedly called for the bodyguards at home and told them to guard the door of the inner house and never allow outsiders to enter the inner house, let alone the Japanese.
Several bodyguards were very puzzled when they heard this order. Except for the master, it is an old rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner house. Why do they have to emphasize it?
Even the young master needs permission to enter. No other man is allowed to enter the inner house, let alone the Japanese.
However, they did not dare to ask any more questions. An order was an order and it was just a matter of execution. So they doubled their manpower and took turns guarding the gate of the inner house.
Sheng Muyi wanted to go find her father immediately, but when she arrived at the door of her father's study, she remembered that her father had gone to Nanjing the day before yesterday and was not at home. She wanted to call her father, but she didn't know where he was in Nanjing, so she had to give up.
After Colonel Hejian and Sheng Di settled the matter of borrowing money, they were very happy. This trip was a complete success. He returned to his room, took his briefcase, and prepared to carefully study the battle plan he had drawn up.
What areas still need to be improved.
As the main planner of the 520 Operation Plan, Colonel Kawama received special attention from the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the top brass of the military department.
The commander of the Kwantung Army clearly told him that if the combat plan was successfully implemented, the headquarters would apply for a special commendation to the military on his behalf.
"Shouldn't a soldier who made such an important contribution to the empire deserve a promotion?" the Kwantung Army commander pointed to his epaulettes.
Colonel Hejian made a sound and put his feet together, looking forward to one day being promoted to an imperial general, which would be the supreme honor of the Hejian family.
