"He should be Longchuan Feiyuan, the deputy director of the secret service! The real backer behind Wang Tianxiang!" Jin Shenghuo reminded him in a low voice when he saw the two people coming in.
However, before he finished speaking, Ryukawa Hihara took the initiative and said: "This must be Director Jin of the Confidential Division of the Suppression Headquarters, right? Nice to meet you! You are right, I am the Dispatch Force of the Imperial Japanese Army
Army Headquarters in Shanghai, Deputy Chief of the Secret Service, Ryukawa Hihara!"
"In other words, this so-called isolation review was your idea, Colonel Longchuan?" Jin Shenghuo confirmed with a half-smile as he narrowed his eyes.
Ryukawa Hihara did not hide anything and admitted frankly, "Yes, that's right! Because it only took the five of you more than an hour to make up a seamless lie. Now I finally understand.
How did they collude with each other on that code ship!"
As soon as these words came out, before anyone had time to react, Wang Tianxiang stood up and quickly came to Longchuan Feiyuan, stood at attention and reported: "Report to Colonel Longchuan that all the tasks you have assigned to your subordinates have been completed. I will tell you
As expected, these five people are indeed masters of forging testimonies and colluding with each other, and they must not be trusted!"
However, Longchuan Feiyuan just nodded, and then said to everyone very politely: "It's getting late, you must be tired, right? Just in time, I have ordered someone to prepare a midnight snack, let's go there
Let’s chat while eating?”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and then a group of Japanese military police filed in and brought out plates of steaming late-night snacks.
"You're welcome, just enjoy it!"
"Colonel Longchuan, I really don't understand. In the middle of the night, you asked Director Wang to take all of us into Qiuzhuang, set a fire, and interrogate us. You also asked us to decipher the real murderer of Commander Qian.
, we all cooperated and cracked the code, but why are we still being detained? What kind of isolated interrogation is this?"
"That's a good question. If I'm not wrong, you should be the daughter of Ship King Gu, Captain Gu, right? You are younger and more charming than I thought! It's a pity that a beautiful woman like you is also in the code
ship, and even suspected of killing Colonel Morita..."
However, before Ryukawa Hihara could finish speaking, Gu Xiaomeng interrupted him directly, "Hasn't Director Wang already concluded the murder case of Colonel Morita? The real murderer is Soviet spy Jin Shengxian. Colonel, you really like to joke.
.”
Unexpectedly, Longchuan Feiyuan just chuckled, and then turned to Jin Shenghuo and said: "Director Jin, can you tell me how many cigarettes you need to smoke in order to practice your unique skill of blowing out smoke rings and sending passwords?"
Cigars? Are your lungs still healthy?"
"Sorry, Colonel Longchuan, I really don't know what you are talking about? You are talking about blowing smoke rings and sending passwords. Colonel, your imagination is really rich!"
"Okay, Director Jin, I know some things in my heart, and you know it in your heart, but whether you admit it or not, it doesn't make any difference to me, and it's the same for everyone else, so stop playing charades. In fact, you all are very good at it.
It is clear that Jin Shengxian was not the real culprit who killed Colonel Morita. He was just an intelligence dealer who resold intelligence on the black market for profit. Of course, he could not be a Soviet spy. Wang Tianxiang is right, each of you has forged your testimony.
A first-class expert, just sitting like this, smoking a cigar, blowing smoke rings, reasoning an innocent person into a murderer time and time again! It's really beautiful!"
The hall was extremely quiet at this time, but the brains of everyone present were running rapidly at this moment. Some were analyzing the current situation, some were looking for flaws, and some were thinking about countermeasures. Li Ningyu's mind was full at the moment.
All I could think about was the reason why Li Qiang appeared here.
Because according to the original plan, Li Qiang should never appear here at this moment.
But he happened to appear, and he appeared together with Ryukawa Hihara. Was it involuntary or did he do it deliberately?
At this moment, Ryukawa Hihara's voice rang again, "I read your records of that night in detail. The testimonies of the five people cooperated perfectly. To be honest, lies are rarely so perfect. You are
How did you do it? Is it really telepathic? I can't figure it out! But in the final analysis, it was thanks to the telegram with "Qiuzhuang" that I came up with this idea. Please come to Qiuzhuang.
Zhuang once again solves Qian Huyi's murder case so that I can calmly understand how you colluded to confess."
Speaking of this, Ryukawa Hihara once again focused his attention on Jin Shenghuo and said word by word: "The so-called 'one code is no longer used' was originally common sense in the intelligence community, but today's trial is not
Morita's death was Qian Huyi's old case, and the person in charge of the interrogation was Wang Tianxiang, who had a rough background. He knew nothing about your tricks, so you relaxed your vigilance and repeated the same tricks you used to frame Jin Shengxian.
I came out and used it again. Why did I pay Huyi to find another murderer, but you didn't expect me to be here! I enjoyed your performance from beginning to end. How can I say it? As the old Chinese saying goes, 'Smart,'
But I was fooled by my cleverness!"
However, just when Longchuan Fei thought that he had the absolute initiative in this interrogation and was sure of victory, Li Ningyu suddenly said: "Colonel, if you still want to investigate the case on the code ship, you should understand
The clearest logic is that even if Jin Shengxian is not a spy, it does not mean that he did not kill Colonel Morita. The two incidents are independent of each other and have no necessary connection. And even if he is really innocent, it does not necessarily mean that he did not kill Colonel Morita.
We who identified him as the murderer are the murderers! Now that you have reviewed the testimony in detail, you should understand that it was Jin Shengxian who accused the five of us first.
We only identified him as a suspect and did not say that he must be a killer or a spy. Isn't this reasoning reasonable?"
"Colonel Li! Section Chief Li! I've heard about your name for a long time, and I finally met you today. I've been thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, but don't get me wrong, it's just because I've heard too many legends about you, and I'm very curious.
I met today, and it turned out that my temperament is elegant and my skin is very good. It seems that the scenery in Hangzhou is good for people!"
Saying that, Ryukawa Hihara simply stood up, walked to Li Ningyu, leaned down, and asked her almost face to face: "Colonel Li is a cryptography genius and a master of playing with logic, but now I can
I don't want to play any logic games with you. I just want to ask you one thing. According to your confessions, if that telegram was sent by Jin Shengxian to frame the five of you, why did the word "Qiuzhuang" be used?
Even after receiving the telegram, Commander Zhang still sent his personal confidential secretary on board the ship? It can be seen that the person who sent the telegram is among the five of you. This logical loophole may be
Even a genius like Colonel Li can't explain it, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly.
However, Li Ningyu remained calm as usual and asked calmly without changing her expression: "May I ask, Colonel, why did you ask Director Wang to bring us here overnight? I'm afraid it's not just because of the Qiuzhuang telegram?"
"Yes, not only because of that telegram, but also because all five of you are more or less related to Qiuzhuang."
"That's it. I believe that Jin Shengxian, like you, has investigated the relationship between several of us and Qiuzhuang in advance, so he sent such a telegram. Only in this way can he cause the colonel to misjudge and exonerate himself.
It’s a suspicion, isn’t it?”
"Awesome!" Ryukawa Hihara said sincerely after hearing this, "Colonel Li is indeed a rare genius. He can even explain such logical loopholes. I really admire him! Don't worry, everyone, just just
It's just a small episode. To be honest, the reason why I invited everyone to Qiuzhuang today is not to try Qian Huyi's murder case, nor to investigate Morita's death. He is too stupid to end up like this.
He deserves it! And right now, I just want to figure out one thing, who among you is the traitor?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment. Jin Shenghuo was almost scared to drop the cigar in his hand, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Wait a minute, Colonel Longchuan, you just said... a traitor?
"
"Yes! Traitor!" Ryukawa Hihara confirmed, "Director Jin has followed Dai Li to investigate traitors for more than ten years, so he must be familiar with this term, right?"
"You mean... there is a traitor among the five of us? Where do you start talking about this?"
Long Chuan Fei Principle smiled, "Since Director Jin has asked this, let's start from... yesterday morning!"
The time goes back to two days ago, to Longchuan Feiyuan's office.
"Report to the colonel, there is something going on at the magazine!" As soon as Longchuan Feihara arrived at the office early that morning, Wang Tianxiang immediately ran over excitedly and reported, "Just now, someone went to the magazine to find Ye Shiyu.
, saying that he wanted to talk to her about the lottery numbers being published in the next issue of the magazine."
"Are you sure this is not a normal business relationship between the two of you?"
"I'm sure, I've never heard of the lottery that person mentioned. It shows that it's not very well-known. But it's such a little-known lottery, but it's willing to spend a lot of money to publish the results in a best-selling magazine. What do you think?
It’s all suspicious, right?”
After hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara finally nodded and said: "Well, that makes sense. From what you said, that person is really suspicious."
"Colonel, do you want me to..."
"No rush, let's observe for a while first!" After saying that, Longchuan Feiyuan turned to Li Qiang and said, "Chief Ming, I'll leave it to you next, as for how to arrest and the timing of arrest.
It’s all up to you to decide, don’t let me down!”
"Yes! Don't worry, Colonel, I will do my best in this humble position!" After saying that, Li Qiang took the order and left.
As soon as Li Qiang left, Longchuan Feiyuan lowered his voice and said to Wang Tianxiang: "Send someone to monitor secretly. If you find any abnormalities, report them to me immediately!"
"yes!"
However, it only took less than a day for Li Qiang to bring the man in front of Longchuan Feiyuan, which surprised Longchuan Feiyuan and at the same time made him more or less suspicious of him.
So they immediately went to Wang Tianxiang to understand the situation, but Wang Tianxiang hesitated for a long time without telling him the reason. This made Longchuan Feihara so angry that he decided to conduct the interrogation himself.
Soon, Longchuan Feiyuan brought Wang Tianxiang to the prison.
Li Qiang, who was about to start the interrogation, saw the two people coming in. He immediately stood up and respectfully gave up his seat, while he stood aside with his hands down.
Upon seeing this, Ryukawa Hihara nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the man on the execution rack.
This person looks to be about forty years old. Although his eyes are not big, they are very bright. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks elegant and dressed like a teacher. He does not look like a joke at all.
A stall selling lottery tickets.
Seeing this, Longchuan Feiyuan already had a problem in his heart, so he cleared his throat and slowly said to the man: "There is an old Chinese saying, 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero.'
, I think I will be able to pry your mouth open, and I hope you can cooperate with us well, and we will not treat you badly!"
However, the man just looked at Ryukawa Hihara with contempt and turned his head to one side.
Unexpectedly, Wang Tianxiang went up and gave him a slap in the face, and said viciously: "Don't be so shameless! Tell me, who are you?"
Seeing that the man was still holding his neck and refusing to cooperate, Wang Tianxiang also became angry, "You won't say it, right? Okay! Someone is here!"
Before he finished speaking, his subordinate walked in with a vicious dog and handed a small bucket filled with spices into Wang Tianxiang's hand.
"Well, it smells so good!" Wang Tianxiang took the keg under his nose and smelled it, then said with a smile, "Do you know what this is? This is a spice from Sri Lanka. It is Ba Niu's favorite smell.
!”
As soon as these words came out, as if in coordination with Wang Tianxiang's words, the vicious dog started barking like crazy. If someone hadn't been holding it tightly, it would have pounced on it long ago.
Faced with such a situation, I am afraid that even the toughest guy will feel fear, let alone ordinary people. The man on the execution rack immediately had his pupils dilated due to the inner fear.
Naturally, such a reaction could not escape Wang Tianxiang's eyes, so he immediately intensified his behavior. He walked up to the man with a small bucket and said word by word: "Tell me! You have to tell me sooner or later. What is your code name? Who are your superiors and subordinates?"
Who? Where is the codebook?"
After looking at each other for a long time, the man finally couldn't resist the pressure and said: "I...I don't know what you are talking about! I...I am just a lottery ticket seller. You...you have arrested the wrong person!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Tianxiang smiled happily, and then poured all the spices in the bucket on the man. At the same time, his subordinates also loosened the iron chain in their hands.
Soon, heart-rending screams echoed throughout the prison corridors, and they lingered for a long time...
