"What are you? I asked you whether you saw Li Ningyu standing next to the colonel holding a knife before the assassination of the colonel. You only need to answer me whether you did or not!"
"No...no..." The man hesitated for a long time and finally shook his head and told the truth.
"If not, then why did you just accuse Li Ningyu of assassinating the colonel?" Mitsui Juichi said, almost suppressing the anger in his heart and staring at the expert.
"She was suspected by the Colonel. I think... I think you will think the same as me, thinking it was her who did it, so..."
However, before he could finish his words, Mitsui Hisaichi was so furious that he raised his hand and shot him without saying a word, killing him directly.
"Lies are a waste of time. I hope you won't waste my time anymore!"
As soon as Mitsui Shouichi finished speaking, his men pointed their guns at Jin Shengxian, who had been pretending to be calm.
To be honest, from Jin Shenghuo's point of view, apart from the few people present, the one who feared him the most was Professor Jin, the code-breaking expert from Manchukuo.
Not only that, he was good at understanding people's hearts and he also keenly discerned that Jin Shengxian was strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
So with just a "ding" sound, Jin Shenghuo lit a cigar slowly, took a deep breath, and calmly blew out a few smoke rings.
But this seemingly ordinary move actually has a lot of mystery. Those large and small smoke rings are actually Morse code. Translated, they secretly tell the other four people: If you form an alliance, you will survive.
Even someone as cunning as Mitsui Juichi never imagined that Jin Shenghuo would choose this method to secretly connect, let alone others.
As for the General Suppressor, the first one to notice and decipher Jin Shenghuo's code hidden in the smoke was Li Ningyu. Then it was Wu Zhiguo who had been focusing all his attention on Li Ningyu. Then, Li Ningyu
Secretly telling Gu Xiaomeng Jin Shenghuo's alliance proposal by lightly kicking his calf, Gu Xiaomeng immediately replied in the same way: Don't believe Jin Shenghuo.
As for Bai Xiaonian, although he didn't know anything about Morse code, he guessed the intentions of several others based on their reactions after Jin Shenghuo lit the cigar.
On the surface, Jin Shengxian remained silent, but in fact he was rapidly recalling every detail of what happened just before the power outage in his mind, and just before Mitsui Juichi's patience was about to run out, he said in an astonishing voice: "Major,
I already know who the murderer is!"
As soon as these words came out, the five members of the Suppression General quickly exchanged glances with each other subconsciously, and reached a tacit agreement almost instantly.
On the contrary, Mitsui Juichi showed a little lack of interest, but still waved to Jin Shengxian to continue talking.
"The thing is very simple. When the lights are dark, there is only one person who can accurately grasp the position of Colonel Morita." After saying this, Jin Shengxian raised his hand and pointed, "That's you, Gu Xiaomeng!"
"Professor Jin, so many people died in front of you, you should have a better memory." After a brief surprise, Gu Xiaomeng said with a cold face, "Don't forget, the colonel was stabbed to death with his own knife.
As you just said, before the lights went out, I had been dancing with the colonel. I had no chance to go to the colonel’s table to get the knife, so how could I possibly commit an assassination?"
However, Jin Shengxian just smiled slightly and said, "There is no name engraved on this knife. The knife in front of you now may be the one belonging to Colonel Morita!"
"Professor Jin, what do you mean? What is Colonel's knife? Am I still able to do tricks?" Gu Xiaomeng crossed her arms and asked angrily.
"I don't know if Captain Gu can do magic tricks, but the people around you are not ordinary people!" Jin Shengxian said as he glanced around at the other people and said thoughtfully, "There are conspirators who are good at planning activities.
A confidential secretary who is good at connecting left and right, a killer who kills without blood, a mathematician who is good at calculating timing, and a communicator who attracts attention. So I seriously suspect that the five of you planned this murder together.
!”
However, before he finished speaking, Jin Shenghuo laughed contemptuously and said lightly: "Nonsense!"
In contrast, Secretary Bai was very direct. He suddenly slapped the case and said righteously: "Professor Jin, if you have brought all five of us in now, you are not just targeting Colonel Li or Captain Gu.
You are targeting our general-suppressor! No, I'm afraid it's not just these. Now I have every reason to suspect that you are targeting Chairman Wang and the Nanjing National Government! I remind you that your next accusation must be well-founded.
Otherwise, Major Mitsui’s bullet won’t be enough to finish it off!”
"I have no evidence." Jin Shengxian said calmly, "But I know how you killed people! I guess Captain Gu had already hidden his knife on his body before inviting Captain Morita to dance, right? I went from the bathroom to
When I came out, I saw you taking the initiative to stop the colonel and talk to him!"
"Hmph! I want to punish you!"
Mitsui Shouichi said to Jin Shengxian as if something had been confirmed: "Keep talking!"
"When the dance music started, your carefully planned actions also began! First was Secretary Bai, who was the first to get up and encourage everyone to dance along, successfully attracting everyone's attention! Next, Team Wu was able to say that the bathroom was powered off.
Yes! However, when executing the plan, a small accident occurred. Because of my stubbornness in asking for advice, I almost delayed Colonel Li from stealing the knife! However, she cleverly used the excuse of "she wanted to come to my seat to talk" and passed by naturally.
He entered the colonel's dining table, obtained the colonel's knife, and successfully completed the plan to assassinate Colonel Morita!"
Speaking of his excitement, Jin Shengxian couldn't help but applaud, "I have to say that the cooperation between the five of you, the Suppressor General, is so close and seamless!"
"It's perfect? But in my opinion, the story you made up is full of loopholes!"
"Really? Then please ask Captain Gu for advice?"
"I believe everyone here knows that to crack a cryptographic machine, you need to break through three levels, the structure, the key, and the operating password! Similarly, to crack a murder case, you need to break through three elements, timing, and means.
And the most important thing is the motive for the murder! Professor Jin, you have tried all your tricks and finally justified your case in terms of timing and means, but you have no way to explain why the five of us conspired to kill the colonel, and even put aside our prejudices against each other for this purpose.
And have a rift? Don’t forget that just a few hours ago, the colonel applied for a commendation for a few of us. There are no lunatics in the secret department of the Suppression Commander. The first thing he did after receiving the commendation was to conspire to murder, right?"
"You said the motive for the murder? It couldn't be simpler, because you already know Captain Morita's plan and want to escape!"
"Absurd!" Gu Xiaomeng slammed the table after hearing this, "The colonel's plan was only announced after the major came in. How could we know in advance?"
"You shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask yourselves. Maybe... it was Colonel Morita who told you personally? I'm afraid it was at that moment that you made up your mind to take the risk of assassinating the colonel and survive from death! Maybe Colonel Morita
I never thought that his slight pity for you would cause him to die with his eyes open!"
Hearing this, Mitsui Shouichi looked at Gu Xiaomeng silently, as if he wanted to see how she would continue to defend herself and others. But at this moment, Li Ningyu suddenly asked in a cold voice: "Professor Jin, why are you
Hate me so much?"
Jin Shengxian couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, "Colonel Li, what do you mean by this? I have no personal prejudice against you!"
"Really? Since the first day when we cooperated to crack the Enigma machine, you first withdrew from cracking the code, and then framed me in front of Colonel Morita several times, wanting to kill me, and even hid me secretly.
Calculation manuscript paper. Now that Dazuo is killed, in order to seize the last chance to frame me, you did not hesitate to implicate several of my innocent colleagues! Why, Professor Jin? You can kill people without nodding your head. I, Li Ningyu, have nothing to do with you. You
Why must we kill them all?"
"Hahaha..." As soon as these words came out, Jin Shenghuo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "As the saying goes, 'if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.' Colonel Li, you independently cracked the second-generation Enni
Gamma Machine can almost be regarded as the chief cryptography expert in several major systems. For this alone, you should die! There is no need for any festivals, am I right? Professor Jin?"
"Hmph, a conspirator is a conspirator, and he can only judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart!" Jin Shengxian said disdainfully, "Those bullets from Major Mitsui are still hot. I can point out that it was you who killed the colonel, just like
Just like Colonel Li cracked the second-generation Enigma machine, it was done through rigorous calculations and was not framed by jealousy."
"Strict calculation?" Li Ningyu raised her eyebrows and stared at Jin Shengxian sharply and said, "But the story you calculated is simply not true!"
"Hey!" Jin Shengxian still looked disdainful.
Li Ningyu turned to Wu Zhiguo without any influence at all: "Team Wu, before the power was cut off... have you been to the bathroom?"
"I've been there!" Wu Zhiguo replied casually, "But I couldn't go in. The door was locked. I thought there was someone inside."
"Who can prove what you said?" Mitsui Juichi, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a waiter in the corner raised his hand cautiously and said: "I...I...I saw Captain Wu standing by the stairs, and the bathroom door was still locked. He also asked me something
, is there anyone inside? They haven’t come out after going in for so long.”
"Are you sure that the bathroom door was locked at that time?" Mitsui Juichi asked again.
"I'm sure. I checked immediately after listening to Captain Wu's words and found that the bathroom door was indeed locked at that time. However, I knocked several times but there was no response. It wasn't until the soldiers searched later that I opened it!"
Hearing this, Mitsui Juichi nodded and said to Li Ningyu: "Go on!"
Li Ningyu nodded slightly and continued: "Professor Jin, if I remember correctly, you have been to the bathroom, and you admitted it just now, so can I say that you... cut off the power?
"
"... Ridiculous! Simply ridiculous!" Although Jin Shengxian tried his best to stay calm after listening to Li Ningyu's words, his eyes at this moment showed that he was already a little panicked.
However, Li Ningyu's offensive continued, "Absurd? This is not the most ridiculous. Major Mitsui, if it is like what Jin Shengxian said just now, the five of us conspired to kill someone. Someone commanded, someone stole the knife, someone cut off the power, and someone killed someone.
, then we must know about Colonel's poison gas plan in advance before we can collude and cooperate. But if, as he said, Gu Xiaomeng was informed of the plan by Colonel when she was dancing, then the killing was her personal impromptu intention. How could it be possible?
Will there be full cooperation from five people? Major, such a clumsy lie is vulnerable. I’m afraid it can’t be included in the investigation file of the death of Major, right?”
"Jin Shengxian framed me many times. I suspect he is not just jealous of me..."
Jin Shengxian also stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly: "Major, Colonel Morita must have been killed by the five of them. If it wasn't for the purpose of killing and escaping..."
Speaking of this, the two said almost in unison: "There must be other purposes. He (she) is the enemy's spy!"
"Pa bang bang..."
Just after the two identified each other as enemy spies, there was a sudden sound of clapping at the door, and then a familiar voice rang, "You two are right! There are indeed people on this ship.
Enemy spy!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, especially the faces of the five people who suppressed the general were full of surprise, because the speaker was none other than someone from the general affairs section of the headquarters.
Long Li Qiang!
"Someone killed the confidential personnel on the ship, stole the telegram, and even killed Colonel Morita, just to spread this thing!" After saying that, Li Qiang walked slowly in front of everyone and handed over the pass in his hand.
The sealed metal box was delivered to Mitsui Juichi.
Mitsui Hisashi opened it and saw that it actually read: On the 16th, we deciphered high-level German intelligence on the ship and ordered your troops to enter a first-level combat state and prepare to launch an attack on the Soviet Union.
"There are many more boxes like this on the sea, and the soldiers are salvaging them," Li Qiang said urgently.
Mitsui Juichi narrowed his eyes, "So, the reason why Colonel Morita was killed was not because anyone wanted to escape?"
"That's right! The murderer was not trying to escape, but only by killing Colonel Morita could he attract everyone's attention and secretly pass on the information! And this spy is among these people!"
As soon as these words came out, Mitsui Juichi immediately scanned the crowd with sharp eyes and asked word by word: "Chief Ming, in your opinion... among the people present, who is the most suspicious? Who is the most suspicious?
