"Hey, Director Wang, didn't you tell Commander Zhang that you were going to No. 76 to carry out the deciphering mission? This is not the way out of the city to Shanghai!"
Halfway through the journey, Bai Xiaonian, who vaguely felt something was wrong, couldn't help but ask tentatively.
However, Wang Tianxiang just smiled and did not answer, but Gu Xiaomeng, who was sitting in the back seat, said angrily: "Thank you for believing his lies!"
Li Ningyu weakly leaned her head against the car window and said feebly: "Director Wang, drive faster! I want to rest early."
However, the response to her was still silence.
Now Jin Shenghuo couldn't sit still, "Old Wang, after all, we are colleagues, so why don't you explain to us first? Where are you going to perform the mission in the middle of the night? When will you return?
Just tell me! I’m telling you, it’s my daughter’s birthday in five days, and I promise to make her something that looks like the heroine in that Hollywood movie.
Overcoat."
But even so, no matter who said anything, Wang Tianxiang remained silent until Li Ningyu suddenly coughed violently, and then said with some unbearability: "Colonel Li, please be patient, we will be here soon!"
This time, Wang Tianxiang did not lie. Ten minutes later, the car the group of people were riding in drove into a dark and lifeless manor. When everyone saw the particularly eye-catching words "Qiuzhuang" on the gate of the manor,
When they did, everyone took a breath of cold air unconsciously.
"Where is this place?" Gu Xiaomeng, who was the first to get off the bus, looked around for a moment before asking curiously.
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tianxiang finally took the initiative to reply: "Qiuzhuang!"
"Qiuzhuang?"
"That's right, this is Qiuzhuang." Jin Shenghuo said with a half-smile, "It's the place where Commander Qian was killed. But Xiaomeng, don't worry, the east building where Commander Qian was killed has been sealed long ago!"
"What a coincidence. The place where the mission was carried out is in the east building of Qiuzhuang. The seal has been lifted!" At this point, Wang Tianxiang laughed a few times and added intentionally or unintentionally, "It was the order given by Colonel Longchuan. Just now
Unblocked.”
"Director Wang, what do you mean? It doesn't matter that we are brought here at night to decipher the code. We still have to arrange it in the east building? It won't be haunted, right?"
"Director Jin, you don't know, right? What was the West Building used for before the headquarters took over Qiuzhuang? That's a place for fun. You can't let the two ladies live there, right? Colonel Li, Captain Gu, you guys
Are you afraid of getting dirty? Or do you believe in evil?"
With one sentence, everyone fell into silence.
Gu Xiaomeng simply turned her attention to the fountain pool in the yard, "Hey, are there fish in here?"
As he spoke, he planned to reach out and paddle.
But at this moment, Bai Xiaonian suddenly stopped him urgently: "Don't move!"
Wang Tianxiang on the side also hurriedly said: "Be careful, there is a piranha inside. Fortunately Secretary Bai stopped you, otherwise you would have lost your hand! I didn't expect Secretary Bai to be as well-informed as the rumors say, with only one glance
I recognized that this fish is dangerous, I admire you!"
"Director Wang gave me the award, it's just a small skill, not worth mentioning!"
Gu Xiaomeng said with a look of hatred: "What the hell is this place, where even the fish are so evil?"
"Isn't Qiuzhuang just a ghost place?" Bai Xiaonian said with emotion, "Director Wang, the truth about Commander Qian's death is still unknown. I don't care, but Director Jin, Captain Gu, and Li
The colonel and the three of them are the treasures of the headquarters, can they guarantee their safety?"
"Huh huh huh..." Wang Tianxiang smiled, "Secretary Bai, you are joking again. This Qian Huyi can't do anything to Colonel Li and Director Jin even if he is alive, let alone dead? Do you think so, Director Jin?"
?”
However, Jin Shenghuo just straightened his military uniform and gave him a silent reply as if tit for tat.
Wang Tianxiang, who was asking for trouble, could only laugh twice and continued: "Okay, everyone, please!"
So everyone followed Wang Tianxiang into the east building. As soon as they entered the hall of the east building, they saw a familiar figure in the distance.
"Look, Team Wu has been waiting for a long time. Everyone, please come!"
After Jin Shenghuo saw clearly that the man was really Wu Zhiguo, he smiled and half-jokingly suggested: "Brigade Wu, after this mission is completed, we should jointly report to Commander Zhang. How about you do this?"
The brigade and this confidential department! Let’s merge them! We won’t have to run in both directions.”
"Director Jin has made a good plan! If the Confidential Division and the First Brigade are merged, then you should be promoted to deputy commander."
"Secretary Bai, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you have been rude to me? Okay, this means that you, Xiao Bai, have become friends with me, Lao Jin? Hahaha... Now that everyone is here,
Then... let’s start? It’s early!”
However, Jin Shenghuo's proposal was not responded to by others.
Bai Xiaonian smiled and said nothing, Wu Zhiguo was smoking his cigarette, while Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu's attention was firmly attracted by the huge mural in the hall.
"Sister Yu, this is..."
"Hell changes."
"Hell transformation? That hell transformation by Akutagawa Ryunosuke?"
"Yes, it is his work. The Grand Duke ordered the painter to draw a picture of hell. The painter could not start the painting because he could not imagine the horror of hell. So the Grand Duke tied the painter's only daughter into a betel nut cart and lit a fire. The painter
Seeing his daughter in trouble, he ran towards the betel nut cart in flames, but stopped in the end. He gave up rescuing his daughter, picked up his paintbrush and finally completed this hellish transformation!"
"How could...how could there be such a cruel father?" Gu Xiaomeng said with both sympathy and anger.
"But precisely because of this, he can draw the real hell!"
"When Section Chief Li said this, I really saw that this was a scene from hell." Jin Shenghuo said with hindsight, "Hey, you guys, why did Commander Qian have such a thing in his house? This is not the case.
Did he get angry? Director Wang, call someone over and shovel this thing out quickly! Eh? Where did this bastard go?"
After hearing what Jin Shenghuo said, everyone suddenly noticed that Wang Tianxiang was missing.
Just when everyone was still wondering, Wu Zhiguo's nose suddenly twitched, and then he almost blurted out: "Fire! Something is burning!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became nervous and began to check quickly.
And just when Jin Shenghuo came to the door and reached out to pull the door handle, the next second he pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted, "Ah! Why is it so hot?"
Bai Xiaonian rushed over when he heard the sound, took a closer look through the crack in the door, and quickly screamed: "Outside! It's outside! Someone set a fire outside!"
"If the door burns through, no one will survive! Ning Yu Xiaomeng, go and look at the windows. Xiaonian, go and see if there are other escape routes! Team Wu, crash the door!" Jin Sheng was furious.
He is worthy of being a veteran spy. Even though the situation is very critical at the moment, he still commands with determination and has the air of a general.
Soon, several people came back, but none of them brought back any exciting news, while Wu Zhiguo still carried the waves of heat and kept banging on the door one after another.
In this way, the fire outside burned for half an hour. Just when the door was crackling and about to be burned through, it was suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Tianxiang's figure slowly walked out from the billowing smoke after the fire.
"Wang Tianxiang, what do you mean? You..."
Jin Shenghuo, who was about to explode, could no longer suppress his anger when he saw Wang Tianxiang. He yelled at him, but just when he was about to continue questioning, he was stopped by Bai Xiaonian who was standing aside.
Come down.
Only then did Jin Shenghuo notice that Wang Tianxiang was not alone. There were actually more than a dozen Japanese military police behind him, so he had to swallow back the more unpleasant words that followed.
"Director Wang, please explain!" After everyone sat down again, Jin Shenghuo suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Wang Tianxiang, "They said they wanted us to participate in some confidential deciphering task, but in the blink of an eye, we are going to be burned into hell.
!what does it mean?"
"Director Jin, calm down. It's just a flamethrower. It can't even roast a duck. How come it's related to hell?"
"Then what do you mean?" Bai Xiaonian finally couldn't help asking, "Are you making fun of us in the middle of the night?"
Wang Tianxiang smiled and said, "Everyone, I did this for a reason. I just want to see if you can open this door without this key!"
As he spoke, Wang Tianxiang actually took out a key from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of him.
But at this moment, no one expected Wu Zhiguo to speak first, "Director Wang, no matter who has any warrant tonight or what level of military order he disobeys, I have to leave. I don't have time to accompany you here."
go Ape!"
As he was about to get up and leave, Wang Tianxiang suddenly slammed the table, and the Japanese military police behind him immediately raised their guns and aimed at him.
"Team Wu, I think you should know best. Qian Huyi died in this hall, right? Are you all interested now?"
"Not interested!" Before she finished speaking, Li Ningyu also said, "Chairman Wang's warrant only said that the five of us should perform a secret deciphering task. Other than that, I am not interested in or obligated to all other issues.
!”
"Okay, let me put it another way. Your confidential mission tonight is to decipher Qian Huyi's murder case. Is this okay?" As he said that, Wang Tianxiang took out a second warrant from his pocket, "This is Wang
If you don’t believe the Chairman’s second warrant, you can take a good look at it.”
However, before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but said: "The investigation of murder cases is under the control of the police station, and the crimes committed by officers are under the control of the gendarmerie. If that doesn't work, there is also the Central Standing Committee and the military court. This is not about deciphering the code. Why do we have to
Are five people here? Is this warrant from Jiming Temple sent to the wrong place?"
"Is there any difference? Didn't you also decipher the assassination case of Colonel Morita on the code ship?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood the real purpose of Wang Tianxiang's move.
"Even though there was an order from Jiming Temple asking the five of us to help investigate the cause of Commander Qian's death, as far as I know, there is no clear investigation result on Commander Qian's death. Some say it was suicide, and some say it was homicide.
, and some people say that Qiuzhuang was haunted by ghosts. Director Wang, what evidence do you have to say that he was murdered?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Tianxiang laughed sinisterly and replied word for word: "Of course it was Commander Qian who told me! I did an autopsy and found that there was only one wound on Commander Qian's body, and there was the Commander's fingerprints on the handle of the knife.
, it can be inferred from the scene that Commander Qian should have stabbed his chest with a knife in his own hand. Unfortunately, the murderer did not understand Commander Qian very well. He did not know that Commander Qian had suffered a gunshot wound to his right arm in his early years. As long as he used force,
The pain will be unbearable if you bend it. It's just suicide. Is it necessary to cause yourself so much pain? What do you think, Director Jin?"
After a few words, Jin Shenghuo was speechless. However, Bai Xiaonian on the side suddenly pointed in the direction of the door and asked: "By the way, Director Wang, if I guess correctly, what is the door of this door?"
The door lock should be Germany’s top lock, Fenstermacher, right?”
"Secretary Bai, do you have any advice?"
"This so-called Fenstermacher is a top-notch mechanical lock that is said to be more difficult to break than the Gordius Knot. Even the top spies of the Gestapo are helpless with it. Commander Qian is cautious in his life. He uses it from his room to his office.
They all have this kind of mechanical lock. I heard that every night before going to bed, he would personally lock the doors of all the rooms and put the keys in the room. The reason why Commander Qian's death has become an unsolved case is ultimately because of his death.
At that time, the door was locked, the only key was still in the room, and all the windows were closed. In other words, Director Wang, in this case, no matter he is a human or a ghost,
, trying to break into this room and assassinate Commander Qian would be much harder than enduring the pain and stabbing himself, right?"
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!" Wang Tianxiang clapped his hands and said, "In other words, Secretary Bai, do you still think Commander Qian committed suicide?"
"Otherwise? It can only be attributed to being haunted!"
Wang Tianxiang smiled and said, "You must have seen just now that I locked the door with my own hands, so you all think that the door cannot be opened without the key in my hand, right?"
"Director Wang, you shouldn't be so forgetful, right? Just now, you almost burned all five of us to death here! And among us, not only are there top espionage personnel, deciphering experts, and first-class killers, but also
Still can't open the door?" Bai Xiaonian replied angrily.
However, as soon as these words came out, Wang Tianxiang not only did not restrain himself, but instead asked with an even more frightening expression: "Really?"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and then there was the sound of the door lock turning without warning, and the door that Secretary Bai had declared could not be opened was actually opened from the outside in front of everyone.
