Chapter 179 The real codebook

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Xu Guyu asked: "You mean, this guy Chen Maofeng is secretly making money?"

"Well... I do think so, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. If he is really a selfless person, why would he hide so much money and antiques in his own home?"

Speaking of this, Lin Mo paused and continued: "If he really has no selfish motives, the money can obviously be placed in the account of the commercial bank, or the money from the apology can be transported back to the Japanese spy organization."

"But looking at the situation here, it's obvious that he has never transported it back, and to store these things, he should have started doing it after Qingmao Trading Company got on track."

Hearing Lin Mo's explanation, Xu Guyu nodded and said: "Lin Mo, your discovery is very important. Since Chen Maofeng has selfish motives in doing things, with this information, our interrogation can make a breakthrough from this aspect."

Hearing Xu Guyu's words, Lin Mo smiled and nodded.

After talking about this, Lin Mo and others cleaned up the bottles and jars on the other side. These were also some antique porcelain and copperware, and they were all good goods. However, because they were a bit large, the boxes in the attic were all empty.

It wasn't very big, so it wasn't put in the box.

After collecting and counting these scattered things, Lin Mo and the other two turned their attention to the table in the middle, because all four of them knew that the things they had just discovered were just some belongings, and the best thing must be

It's inside this table.

Looking at the table, Zhang Hongxin took the lead and inspected it carefully. He actually found two traps on the table. This was the first time the four of them found traps after arriving at the attic. This also proved their guesses.

There must be something incredible in this.

After checking, Lin Mo and the other two people also came forward and helped Zhang Hongxin move the table out from the wall.

After the table was moved out, several people began to check it. Lin Mo checked the table top, and the first thing he did was to check the radio on the table. This radio was something that Lin Mo didn't see clearly when he got up.

However, after turning on the radio and checking it, Lin Mo didn't find anything and felt a little disappointed. But that's right. After all, the radio station of Chen Maofeng, the spy team, had been found in the home of the owner of Hotai Hotel. How could it still be played here?

A radio station.

Moreover, Chen Maofeng and others lurked into Nanjing five years ago. At that time, Japanese micro-radio stations might not have come out yet.

But since the radio appeared in this place, Lin Mo didn't believe that it was just for Chen Maofeng to listen to news. It must have other functions.

Since there was nothing wrong with the structure inside the radio, Lin Mo began to check other places, focusing on the channel that Chen Maofeng listened to on the radio.

Lin Mo checked the station carefully and turned on the radio switch. The sound of "buzz..." came. Lin Mo shook his head. It was obvious that there was no channel in this frequency band or there was no broadcast at the moment.

Seeing this situation, Lin Mo turned off the switch directly without adjusting the radio channel.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Hongxin asked Lin Mo: "How are you doing? Did you find anything?"

Lin Mo heard this, shook his head, and replied: "This frequency band is empty or has not been broadcast yet."

"But since this radio is placed here, it is obviously not just used for listening to ordinary broadcasts. It must have other uses. However, it is still unclear which frequency band it is used to receive."

"I suggest that you find a box that is about the same size as the radio and seal it away. Maybe you can find some clues and use it in the future."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Xu Guyu on the side nodded and said to Zhang Hongxin: "Hongxin, Lin Mo is right. After you get down, go find the box."

"And not only this radio, but also other things that may have problems, such as books, are all sealed up intact."

After hearing Xu Guyu's instructions, Zhang Hongxin nodded.

Then the four people began to search the table in front of them carefully, but in the end they only found a few Browning pistols, corresponding ammunition clips and some stationery supplies.

However, some of the items caught Lin Mo's attention. These items were a pen, a stack of paper, and a clean ashtray.

If these things were viewed separately or appeared in other places, there would definitely be no problem, but the place where they appeared was on the table in the attic, and they appeared at the same time.

Lin Mo reached out, picked up the stack of papers, and carefully checked each one, then picked up the ashtray, smelled it, and looked at the table.

After checking the pile of paper, the ashtray and the tabletop, Lin Mo picked up the pen again, took a piece of paper and started writing on the table. Looking at his smooth handwriting on the paper, Lin Mo had a smile on his face.

Looking at Lin Mo with a smile on his face, Xu Guyu knew that Lin Mo must have discovered something again. He quickly came over and asked with a smile: "What did you discover again?"

Upon hearing Xu Guyu's inquiry, Lin Mo placed the three things side by side on the table, smiled and said, "Chief Xu, look at these three things."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Xu Guyu looked at the three things and suddenly realized it. He gave Lin Mo a thumbs up with a smile, and then started to search around.

Looking at the two people's actions, Zhang Hongxin and Yang Haicheng were confused. They looked at the three ordinary things on the table, then at Lin Mo, and finally they could only stare there.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Lin Mo smiled and explained: "You may not think that these three things are ordinary, but they contain quite a lot of information."

"Look at this stack of white paper. I just checked it carefully. There are no traces of writing on it, and there are no traces on the table top. There is no writing pad here."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What does this mean? This means that either Chen Maofeng has never written here, or he has destroyed the things that left traces."

"But you see, the paper I just wrote on has continuous writing without any pause. It is obvious that it was used not long ago."

"After all, you both should know the situation of the pen. If it is not used for writing for a long time, the ink at the tip of the pen will solidify. After a while, it will be impossible to write so smoothly."

"You two, look at this ashtray again. I smelled it just now. There is no peculiar smell in it, especially the smell of smoke, and there is not even dust in it."

"Based on what I just said, what did you both see?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question, Yang Haicheng said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Lin, you'd better just tell me directly! Don't let me guess."

Hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at Zhang Hongxin who was thoughtful, and replied: "Haicheng, from the situations I just analyzed, it can be seen that Chen Maofeng should have translated telegrams here, and this

There is probably their real code book somewhere."

"Why do you say that? Look, on this stack of paper, there are no traces of writing on any piece of paper. It is likely that Chen Maofeng destroyed the paper on which the writing was printed."

"Then why were they destroyed? It must have been for confidentiality, and for Japanese spies, the most important thing to destroy is their telegrams."

"Reminiscent of the sudden vigilance of the owner of Hetai Hotel some time ago and the discovery of the radio station today, then if you look at these three things now, the pen is for recent writing, the paper is for translating telegrams, and this ashtray should be used for burning

By telegraph, aren’t these three things connected?”

After hearing Lin Mo's detailed explanation, Yang Haicheng suddenly understood.

"Found it." Xu Guyu's excited voice came over, and the three of them immediately looked over.

Seeing the looks from the three of them, Xu Guyu smiled and knocked on the spot next to him.

"Puff puff..." A hollow sound came from the wall, and the three of them immediately gathered together.

The position where the sound came from was roughly around Lin Mo's neck, about one and a half meters above the attic floor.

Lin Mo looked carefully and found that there were many gaps in the mottled wall, roughly forming a vertical rectangular shape.

However, Lin Mo and the others did not see the existence of these gaps just now. They should have been exposed because the force of Xu Guyu's tapping cracked the thin layer of lime that was originally disguised.

Seeing this, Lin Mo lifted up the hem of his clothes, took out the dagger from his waist, and removed all the still connected lime along the gaps. Suddenly, the mechanism on the wall was revealed to everyone.

When Lin Mo was cleaning, he inserted the dagger deeper and tested the structure a little. He found that the board was not placed directly on the wall, but was set up like a door, because Lin Mo

Mo clearly felt that there were two places where something was connected to the wall.

Now that he had figured out the general structure, Lin Mo inserted the dagger into the other side a little, and with a slight force, he pried open a crack in the board like opening a door.

Then Lin Mo took out the flashlight from his pocket and carefully shined it inside. After carefully checking that there was no mechanism, Lin Mo slowly opened the wooden board, and the contents inside were immediately exposed.

With the help of flashlights and lights, the four of them could clearly see what was inside. It was a small suitcase standing vertically, with a small book or something underneath.

Seeing this situation, Xu Guyu couldn't hide his excitement. He carefully took out the book from under the small suitcase, looked at it for a few times, and quickly put it in his pocket.

Although Lin Mo and the others did not see what was in the booklet, looking at Xu Guyu, who was so excited that his eyes narrowed, they knew without even thinking that this thing must be the real code book of Chen Maofeng and the others.
