"I won't do such an offending thing!" Li Qiang shrugged and said, "So I have written down all my speculations on this piece of paper in advance and asked Major Mitsui to make his own decision."
With that said, Li Qiang actually took out a note from his arms and handed it to Mitsui Juichi.
However, it was okay for Mitsui not to look at it. As soon as he saw the note, his expression changed several times. It took him a long time to finally return to normal. Then, without waiting for anyone to ask, he took out his lighter and directly burned the note.
Burned to the ground.
While others were still secretly guessing what Li Qiang wrote on the note, Jin Shenghuo suddenly turned to Li Ningyu and asked: "Colonel Li? You deciphered this secret message yesterday, right?"
?"
Seeing Li Ningyu nodding, Jin Shenghuo continued: "Well, I, Jin, have to excuse me. Team Wu and Secretary Bai can also leave."
After saying that, Jin Shenghuo stood up and prepared to leave. However, he was stopped by Mitsui Juichi before he took two steps, "Stop! Why do you leave?"
"Major, intelligence spies all act alone. This is common knowledge in the industry. This confidential message was decrypted by Colonel Li in the conference room yesterday afternoon. Captain Gu and many experts were present at that time. It happened that I, Jin, was not there, and Brigade Wu was also
We weren't here, and Secretary Bai hadn't boarded the ship yet. And the three of us didn't know the contents of the secret message a few minutes ago. How could we be spies? Major, let us withdraw! In this way, you can narrow it down as much as possible.
Scope of investigation.”
Before he finished speaking, Jin Shengxian's voice rang out, "Director Jin, you are right, you were indeed not at the meeting at the time, but who can guarantee that no one leaked the contents of the secret message to you?"
"of course not!"
However, at this moment, Gu Xiaomeng's voice suddenly spoke: "Director Jin, although you are not at the scene, it does not mean that you do not know the contents of the secret message!"
After hearing this, Jin Shenghuo suddenly sank his face and said word by word: "What do you mean by this?"
"Director Jin, you are really forgetful! At that time, Section Chief Li's deciphering was in trouble. You were worried that the failure of the mission would affect everyone, so you wrote a fake secret message and gave it to me, hoping to help Colonel Li tide over the difficulties."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jin Shenghuo said in a deep voice, resisting the urge to rush over and strangle Gu Xiaomeng to death.
Gu Xiaomeng continued to swear: "I'm not talking nonsense! Section Chief Li can testify for me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Li Ningyu.
Li Ningyu said unhurriedly: "Gu Xiaomeng did hand me a fake code. She said at the time, 'This is a code forged by Jin Shenghuo. Use it to prove to Colonel Morita that you have cracked the second-generation Enni.
Gamma machine...'."
"Baga!" Even though he knew that what he needed most at the moment was to stay rational, Mitsui Juichi couldn't help but cursed after listening to Li Ningyu's words, "Li Ningyu! Did you just use fake secret messages to deceive the colonel and Da Nippon?
From the empire? You haven’t deciphered the second-generation Enigma machine at all! You..."
"Of course not!" Before Mitsui Shouichi could finish his words, Gu Xiaomeng immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Chief Li did not receive the fake secret telegram at all. I was worried that Director Jin would interfere with her work, so I lied
She received the fake secret message. It wasn’t until she actually cracked the second-generation Enigma machine that I returned the fake secret message to Director Jin. Brigade Wu and Secretary Bai were also present at that time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask
them."
"Gu Xiaomeng, you lied!"
"I didn't. It was just the four of us at that time, one or more! So, even if Director Jin and Captain Wu were not at the scene, they all knew the contents of the secret message."
"That's enough!" Mitsui Juichi slammed the table and said angrily, "I don't want to know this now. I only care about that sealed message. Is it real or fake?"
"is fake!"
As soon as Li Ningyu said the words, Mitsui Juichi's gun was directly pointed at her head.
"Li Ningyu! Do you know the consequences of deceiving the colonel and the Empire of Japan?"
"Of course I know." Even though someone pointed a gun at her, Li Ningyu remained calm and said calmly, "But in order to prevent those with ulterior motives from hacking into the code, I must do this!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mitsui Shouichi was about to confuse Li Ningyu at this time. He had to put down the gun in his hand and rethink everything Li Ningyu said before. I don't know how long it took before he finally
Suddenly he said, "You...could it be..."
Li Ningyu smiled calmly, "Yes, even though I have been deciphering secret messages these days, I also guessed that there were enemy spies on the ship. So I had to join forces with Colonel Morita to put on a play to expose the spies on the ship.
Lead it out."
"Wait a minute, you just said that Colonel Morita knew you were using a fake secret code?"
"Of course he knows, otherwise how could he agree to let me publicly verify the modification results of the Enigma machine?"
It was only then that Mitsui Juichi finally believed Li Ningyu's words, but even so, he still frowned and continued to question: "Even if what you said is true, now that the colonel is dead, who can prove it for you?
?”
"Major, I can prove that everything Colonel Li said is true, and there is absolutely no lie!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at Li Qiang who was speaking, with question marks written all over their faces.
"Chief Ming? You hadn't boarded the ship yet, how could you prove it for Li Ningyu?"
"Of course!" With that, Li Qiang turned to the guard who had been standing behind Mitsui Juichi, "Ono-kun, now you can tell Major Mitsui that before the ship docked at Qianjiang Customs, the Major told
What is the mission given to you?"
"Hai!" Before he finished speaking, the guard immediately stood at attention, and then said to Mitsui Juichi, "Report to Major Mitsui and Colonel Morita's order: be sure to hand over the real deciphering results after the ship docks.
To Section Chief Ming."
"The real deciphering result..." After hearing this, Mitsui Shouichi completely believed what Li Ningyu said before, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Okay! In that case, let's put the fake secret message aside for the time being.
, Director Jin, do you still insist on leaving?"
"Leave? Of course not!" After saying that, Jin Shenghuo sat back in his seat, but just after he sat down, he immediately said in a shocking voice, "As for the reason! It's very simple, Major, I think this
There is no need to investigate the matter any further! Because the identity of the enemy spy, the murderer who killed Colonel Morita, has already been revealed!"
"Oh? So, Director Jin already knows who the spy is?" Mitsui Juichi immediately asked.
"Of course! Major, please take a closer look at the metal medicine box that was just salvaged. As far as I know, Professor Jin is the only one on the whole ship who takes such medicine, just like I smoke cigars."
As soon as these words came out, the focus of everyone's attention once again returned to Jin Shengxian.
"Major...Major, you...don't believe their lies. They are all from the Suppression Headquarters. Naturally, they have to speak to their own people! And...and..." At this point, Jin Shengxian simply raised his hand.
Pointing at Li Qiang, "And him! He's just a section chief. How could Colonel Morita hand over such an important secret message to him? So, all of this is a lie they made up to deceive you, Major. You can't do anything about it."
Don’t fall into their trap!”
One thing to say, regardless of their stance, others had the same doubts as Jin Shengxian, so after Jin Shengxian's desperate questioning, everyone turned their attention to Li Qiang, who was standing next to Mitsui Juichi.
However, to everyone's surprise, after hearing this, Mitsui Shouichi slammed the table and yelled angrily, "Professor Jin, I think what I just said is very clear. Let's put the fake secret message aside for now.
Didn't you hear?"
"Listen...I heard it, but..."
"Stop it! Now, I hope you can seriously respond to Director Jin's question! Instead of getting hung up on some fake secret messages."
"...Yes!" Jin Shengxian sorted out his thoughts in his mind for a while, and then said, "Major, not to mention how common these medicine boxes are, even if this medicine box is used by me, it doesn't prove anything.
, because I always throw away my medicine box after use, and anyone on this boat who picks it up can frame it for me."
"One or two are framed casually, but how about a dozen? Didn't the Major say that there are probably many identical pill boxes on the sea now? No spy would spend so much effort to pick up your pill box and keep it for later.
Framed?" Gu Xiaomeng retorted carefully, "By the way, Captain Wu, when we boarded the ship, you led the troops to search the luggage. There should be records of how many boxes of Rendan Professor Jin brought on board, right?"
"Thirty-six boxes! Exactly three dozen." Wu Zhiguo blurted out without thinking.
"Thirty-six boxes?!" Gu Xiaomeng said exaggeratedly, "Professor Jin, you brought so many benevolence pills on board, can your body bear it? It turns out it has this wonderful effect!"
"Absurd! Even if I were a spy, I wouldn't be stupid enough to use my own things to pass on information, would I?"
"You admit it?" Gu Xiaomeng smiled.
"I'm just making an analogy, just an analogy!!! Major..."
However, before he finished speaking, Li Ningyu's voice sounded again, "Professor Jin, this is not stupidity, but despair! When you have no choice but to take risks!"
"You...what do you mean?"
"What Major Major said just now has made it very clear. He secretly broke into the electromechanical room to kill people, stole telegrams, and today he took the risk of assassinating Colonel Morita! You tried your best and tried again and again, but you couldn't successfully deliver the information. In the end,
, you can only use this almost stupid method."
"Slander! You are slandering me!" In desperation, Jin Shengxian simply stood up, pointed at Li Ningyu and shouted, "Major Mitsui, she is lying and framing me! You must kill her!"
"I have always wondered why you always force me and frame me. Is it really just because you are jealous of me, as Director Jin said? It wasn't until I saw this pill box that I concluded that you are not at all.
They are forcing me, but urging me and using me!"
Hearing this, Jin Shengxian began to break into a cold sweat unconsciously, but Li Ningyu continued slowly and calmly: "From the moment I accepted the mission of the second-generation machine, you asked me to share all the cracked information and force you to
I used the shortest time to sort out the rotor, structural diagram, and key principle of the first-generation machine in detail, and then handed it over to you to calculate and crack. I first deduced the structural principles of the second-generation machine, and then modified it. From that moment on
, you understand that it is impossible for you to crack the second-generation machine, and I, the only one who can possibly crack it, refuse to share the results with you, so you have to steal my verification manuscript and use it to keep track of my cracking progress.
, by analyzing my calculation results, you found that I was close to successfully cracking it. At this time, you are faced with a serious problem. Once I successfully modified the second-generation machine and cracked the German secret message alone, the colonel will definitely block the message.
Yes, and you have no chance to obtain the contents of the code, so you must frame me. You even went to Colonel Morita to frame me, saying that I was unwilling to share the key information and maliciously excluded other experts from participating in the cracking.
He also said that I didn’t want to crack the second-generation machine at all, but was pretending to attack Guo and steal the secrets of the military’s cipher machine, right?”
"I……"
Just as Jin Shengxian was about to explain, Mitsui Juichi made a plan, "Professor Jin, Li Ningyu has already guessed what you have done. You should stop defending yourself in this matter. Colonel Li
, you go on!"
"According to my guess, he only did this for one purpose, which was to arouse the suspicion of Colonel Morita. As long as Morita had doubts about me, he would have the opportunity to confront me face to face, and in order to prove my innocence, it is very likely that I would
In front of you, I will verify on the spot that the second-generation machine can decipher the code. That's why you rushed to verify the transformation results of the cipher machine. And the reason why you did this was not to be personally hostile to me at all, but to complete the task.
You must kill me! Only then can you get the information you want and find the scapegoat after the information is leaked!"
The more Jin Shengxian listened, the more flustered he became. At first, he could barely hide it by adjusting his glasses and straightening his tie. But after Li Ningyu's last words came out, he became uncontrollably panicked and couldn't even speak.
With a cry, "You...you are...that is a complete slander! Major Mitsui, like everyone else, I only learned about the contents of the decoded code yesterday afternoon! How could I predict it!"
Were you carefully prepared from the beginning to steal information?"
However, as soon as these words came out, they aroused dissatisfaction from other experts, "Hey, Professor Jin, didn't you greet us before boarding the ship? If you want to suppress the general's people this time, it's best to let them
Is there a big embarrassment in front of the Japanese military intelligence department?"
