"Is there any progress in classmate Xiao's research?" she asked softly.
"A little, but very little." Xiao Ancheng shook his head.
"I noticed that no one has asked Mr. Herbert for several days."
"Yes. I understand. No one wants their research results to marry others! Do you feel this way?"
"Me too. But what should I do?"
"To be honest, I don't have any good ideas." Xiao Ancheng shook his head again.
"Yes, I know. I reported this situation to Director Wei, but to no avail."
"Liu Li, I feel that we don't have any good solutions for the Americans. The higher-ups are a bit dependent on the Americans and don't dare to offend them! This is the situation in front of us." He said softly, as if he didn't want to put too much pressure on Liu Li.
At this time, both of them were silent. The situation in front of them was really difficult to deal with. Even the superiors could not do anything. What else could we, the subordinates, do?
Although this was the case, neither of them left, seemingly waiting for the other party to come up with a better solution.
Xiao Ancheng looked at Liu Li calmly, guessing that she had something else to say.
"Classmate Xiao, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not." She raised her head, her beautiful big eyes flashing on Xiao Ancheng's face, as if she was placing some hope on him.
"You tell me, I'll listen." Xiao Ancheng looked at her cautiously and said softly.
"Classmate Xiao, I know that you are the most knowledgeable person in the class. I want to contact a few classmates and come to you if they have any questions. I will ask them to be honest with you. And you, be honest with them too. In this way, won't it?
Will it be better?"
Xiao Ancheng looked at her silently and said nothing for a while.
Calmly speaking, Liu Li's idea was out of public interest and he should not refuse it. However, Liu Li's idea was to make him publish all his research results to others!
This, this, this is really a problem! He was a little unsure.
He was silent for a moment, and finally whispered: "Can you let me think about it?"
Liu Li reluctantly smiled at him and said softly: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Liu Li's request to Xiao Ancheng reached Major Baker's ears that night.
"How do you know?" Major Baker looked at Jin Xingjian and asked in confusion.
"Liu Li asked my fellow villager if he would like to form a group with Xiao Ancheng and several other classmates to be honest with each other and jointly study deciphering codes. Isn't this very clear?"
"So, what does this mean?" Major Baker looked at him with a sly smile.
"Mr. Baker, think about it, several of their classmates form a group, which means that they will never ask Mr. Herbert for advice again! I'm afraid they won't in the future! So, the cryptographic information in Mr. Herbert's hands is just like that
If there are more, there will be no more! So, I think you don’t have to wait any longer! If you find a way to get the information in Herbert’s hand, you will have the results of most of the code deciphering! Although not all, it should be most of the results.
part!"
Major Baker understood that Jin Xingjian was right! Herbert only had so much information! There would be no more!
However, Major Baker is shrewd enough. Although he really wants to get the information in Herbert's hands, there are two problems that have been bothering him and cannot be solved for the time being!
First, there was no way he could organize Jin Xingjian and his soldiers to publicly seize the cryptographic information! Once this matter broke out, it would be a serious diplomatic incident! He couldn't afford it!
Second, it was a very funny little question. He didn't know what the information in Herbert's hand looked like and where it was placed! Is it a box, a folder, maybe just a notebook? Or, simply a big paper bag
?If you don’t know clearly, you don’t know what to ask those soldiers to get!
Of course it is impossible for him to go there in person!
Therefore, Major Baker needs to consider another method, that is, someone should specify what the information is like! Even, he should borrow that person's hand to take out the information! This is the idea that he has been pondering in his mind!

Women's Rescue Society, at the dance.
That night, Qin Yali came to the door gracefully and smiled at Major Baker, who was always in high spirits, always neat and capable, wearing a suit and blue tie.
"Oh, which one am I talking about? The one who is so energetic turns out to be Major Baker." She smiled brightly and held his arm with one hand as naturally as possible.
"Ms. Qin, I have been busy for a while and haven't come here." Major Baker said this while looking towards the ballroom.
"So, are you just here for fun today, or do you have an appointment with someone to talk to or something?" Qin Yali asked.
"It's just for fun and relaxation. Ah, Ms. Qin, isn't that Director Gong sitting over there? I'd like to have a chat with him. Ms. Qin, I have to make an agreement with you. After a while,
How about I dance a waltz with you?"
Qin Yali smiled brightly, "When you go over and say hello, I wonder if I'm free. Come and see me."
As she said this, she waved to Major Baker and walked to another table.
Major Baker smiled at her back. He had always been curious and could not guess who this Miss Qin was! This Miss Qin did not seem to be what she seemed! Vaguely, he felt that this woman
Unfathomable!
He turned around and walked over to where Gong Binsheng was sitting and greeted him politely.
14-7
Qin Yali walked leisurely through the hall like a butterfly in the wind. She took care of the guests at several tables, chatted some gossips, and glanced casually into the distance. She saw Major Baker and Director Gong leaning against each other, as if they were talking to each other.
What a secret!
She could guess 90% that what they were talking about must be a secret! There are countless secrets in this ballroom! Major Baker and Chief Gong were whispering, and there must be secrets among them!
She turned around and walked towards the counter, casually picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The phone over there was connected, and she smiled and said, "Ah, are you still busy? The guests have arrived. Okay, I'll hang up."

Hongyadong, in the old building.
Takashi put down the phone and said to Kawakami, Ishida and Kuriyama: "They are moving!"
Kawakami asked: "American?"
Yingji replied: "Yes! Major Baker and Gong Binsheng met! Think about it, what else could they do?"
Ishida said: "Okay, it's time for us to take action! I'll make preparations and keep an eye on them!"

Women's Rescue Society, dance.
Gong Binsheng stared at Major Baker calmly, "What did you say?"
Baker smiled and stared at him calmly, "I just want to share it with you. I hope we can work together."
"Oh, I really don't know much about that cryptography class." Gong Binsheng looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, I don't know much about it. However, I guess that they have been studying it for such a long time and there should be some progress. I am interested in that progress."
"What's the matter?" Gong Binsheng continued to ask as if he really didn't understand.
"Both the United States and China have to face Japan, right?" Major Baker said with a smile.
"But you are a neutral country, right?" Gong Binsheng also had a smile on his face.
"This won't take long."
"How do you say it? Can you explain it?"
"Director Gong, I have reliable news that Germany is about to launch a war in Poland! Next month at the latest!"
"European affairs are too far away from us. Besides, you are still providing Japan with a large amount of strategic materials!"
"You are referring to the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between the United States and Japan. In July this year, the United States notified Japan that it would end this agreement!"
"I heard that if you really want to end this agreement, I'm afraid you have to wait until next year!"
"Mr. Gong, this is going very quickly! Sooner or later we will have to face the Japanese together!"
"So, you want our deciphering results!"
"Yes. This is beneficial to both our countries!" Major Baker stared at Gong Binsheng seriously, as if he wanted to see through him!
"Mr. Baker, first of all, the cryptography class in Hongyadong is not under my control. Secondly, whether it is under my control or not, I will report it to the superiors as you wish. Thirdly, if the superiors really agree with you
If you think about it, maybe someone else told you about it, right?"
"Okay, that's good. I'll wait patiently. I have something else to do and I need to take a step first."
Major Baker stood up, smiled and shook hands with Gong Binsheng. Then he walked towards the door of the ballroom and never looked back.
But it was Major Baker's last words that made Gong Binsheng wary.
He vaguely noticed that Major Baker seemed to be waiting for someone to make a move first! Why? He couldn't figure it out!

Wenmo Lane, gendarmerie station.
When Chen Zifeng was about to take off his clothes and go to bed, he unexpectedly received a call from Chief Gong, who just said: "Come here now!"
Chen Zifeng did not dare to delay, so he quickly dressed and got up, and woke up Han Jindong, asking him to tell Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue, "Don't sleep, wait for me to come back! I will be back soon! I guess there may be some special circumstances!"
Han Jindong nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll tell them right away."
After Chen Zifeng explained the situation, he lowered his head and walked around the room several times before leaving in a hurry.

Investigation Division, in the director's office.
It was already dark at this time, and the entire garrison headquarters building was quiet, even a little eerie!
The pale light shines on the two people standing in the director's office, Gong Binsheng and Chen Zifeng.
Gong Binsheng looked deeply at Chen Zifeng in front of him, but did not speak for a while.
Chen Zifeng looked at him carefully, guessing what was going on.
He knows very well what Chief Gong is like! He is extremely shrewd, but also extremely insidious! His ability to play tricks behind his back is unsurpassed! When he was in Xi'an, he almost pushed Xiao Ancheng into a desperate situation!
Commander Gong, do you have any unpredictable thoughts now?
