"Pigeons?" Batmo looked at the pigeon that disappeared into the night sky, couldn't help but be surprised, and subconsciously said, "How can there be a pigeon here?" ”

"So, Commander Batmo didn't expect pigeons here?" Lin Jiangbei turned his head to look at Batmo.

"Yes!" "Pigeons are forbidden in our camp. The sentries on the watchtowers at the four corners of the camp were ordered to shoot pigeons as soon as they spotted them in the sky above the camp! ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded. It has to be said that the Fourth Expeditionary Force is indeed outstanding as the elite of the American army, and this prohibition of pigeons from appearing in the camp area is obviously formulated in response to the characteristics that pigeons can use to transmit messages.

"In other words, when you were screening the Japanese mole before, you didn't consider the possibility that the Japanese mole might use carrier pigeons to transmit secret information?" He asked Bart Mord.

"That's true!" Batmo replied: "The sentinels on the watchtowers at the four corners will cross their eyes over the camp, and even if it is possible for the pigeons to escape the sight of one or two of the sentries, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape the path of all four sentries at the same time. ”

"Considering that Major West Bryan and Leonovsky met at the Shanghai Pigeon Club, we also paid special attention to whether they would use pigeons to convey information when we screened several suspected targets in the headquarters, and I specifically asked several sentries on duty during that time, and they all assured me that during that time, no pigeons were found flying over the camp."

When Lin Jiangbei heard Batmo say this, he leaned out of the window and looked out.

From his vantage point, it was evident that the two watchtowers in the northeast and northwest corners of the camp were about three or four stories high. It is conceivable that there should have been two watchtowers of the same height at the southeast and southwest corners of the camp.

Under the cross-watchful eye of these four watchtowers, it is indeed unlikely that the pigeons will fly into the camp - but this is only during the day. If it were at night, as it is now, it would be impossible to detect whether pigeons had flown into the camp unless the sentries on the four watchtowers wore infrared night vision goggles like the U.S. Marine scouts of later generations.

He retracted himself into the house and said to Batmo, "Commander Batmo, when you made this rule, you didn't think about how to prevent pigeons from entering the camp at night, did you?" ”

"That's right!" Batmo looked at the night sky helplessly and said: "Pigeons are diurnal birds that fly during the day and return to their nests in the evening, and logically speaking, pigeons cannot correctly identify the direction to fly to a specific target at night, so we have not considered how to prevent pigeons from entering the camp at night." ”

Lin Jiangbei now understood why Bartmo was taken aback just now. According to the research theories of this era, pigeons, as diurnal birds, suffered from severe night blindness and were not able to fly purposefully at night. Even if he was frightened, he could only fly halfway into the air and circle a few times before he fell, and it was impossible to disappear into the night sky quickly without being affected by the night like the black dove just now.

It's just that this theory has long been broken in later generations. Although most of the pigeons suffer from night blindness and are not able to fly freely at night, there are a few pigeons that have been specially fed and trained to fly at night without the influence of the night.

For his part, Batmo continued: "Now it seems that this theory is wrong. Not all pigeons are not able to fly freely at night, at least not the black pigeon. ”

"Indeed!" Lin Jiangbei said, "According to the information I have here, pigeons are not completely night blind, and a few breeds can fly freely at night after special feeding and training. ”

"Hey!" Batmo sighed, "If I had known this from you earlier, I would have arranged for someone to secretly monitor Catherine's dormitory at night, so that the black pigeon could be spotted earlier." ”

"It's not too late to find out!" Lin Jiangbei said as he pointed to the wooden lattice on the windowsill and asked Batmo to come over and watch, "You see, these marks on the outside of this latticeon are obviously left by the black pigeon's claws falling on it. And there are so many traces that it is clear that the black pigeon has not landed here for the first time......"

Looking at the fine scratches on the window lattice, Batmo's eyes also turned cold.

Apparently, Catherine had used the specially fed and trained black pigeon to escape the sight of the sentry on the watchtower of the camp in the darkness of night to convey information to the outside.

"I really didn't expect that Catherine Jenny turned out to be a Japanese mole!" He said, "I'm going to report to Colonel Price and ask that she be immediately imprisoned for interrogation!" ”

"Don't rush to interrogate Catherine just yet!" Lin Jiangbei shook his head at Batmo and said, "Commander Batmo, what we have to do now is something else. ”

"What's the matter?" Batmo hurriedly asked.

"In order to prevent variables, we should first check with the British Consulate General in Shanghai to see if Clyde Mok has a black pigeon." Lin Jiangbei said, "According to the discipline of your barracks, Catherine will definitely not be able to raise pigeons. Then the black pigeon just now is probably fed by Clyde Mok on a regular basis. We're going to catch the pigeon and release it at night to see if it will make it to Catherine's quarters. In this way, we have ironclad evidence of Catherine's collusion with Clyde Mok inside and outside. ”

"Otherwise, as soon as the evidence of Catherine's captivity reaches the ears of Clyde Mock, he may have killed the black pigeon. In this way, this little evidence alone cannot crucify Catherine. ”

Batmo was convinced of Lin Jiangbei's words. This discovery alone really can't knock Catherine to death. And they still have to talk about what kind of political correctness they are fucking on, and they can't arbitrarily punish their own people like China or Japan. At that time, if Catherine dies and doesn't admit it, it will be really fucking difficult to deal with!

"Mr. Ren, your reminder is really timely!" Batmo praised Lin Jiangbei vigorously, "I'll arrange for someone to find out, it seems that Clyde Mok really has a black carrier pigeon!" ”

As the No. 2 real power figure in the U.S. Marine Corps' Fourth Expeditionary Force, Batmo naturally had his own reliable connections at the British Consulate General in Shanghai. Soon, he got the news from his own connections, and as Lin Jiangbei expected, Clyde Mok did have a black carrier pigeon.

The re-contacted Clyde Mok is the owner of the short blond hair found in Leonovsky's apartment, and his and Catherine's Japanese mole identities can almost completely knock them to death!

So Batmo immediately took Lin Jiangbei to the commander's office and reported the latest discovery to Colonel Price.

Colonel Price smiled wickedly after listening to Batmo's report. This son of a bitch, Clyde Mock, it's okay to seduce Catherine, but stealing the military intelligence of the United States of America and selling it to the Japanese is killing yourself!

"Commander Batmo, you immediately arrange for someone to secretly kidnap this son of a bitch for me. And the black carrier pigeon, too! He commanded murderously.

"Yes!" Bart Mo answered, and went out to arrange the secret kidnapping of Clyde Mok. As for whether Clydemock, an employee of the British Consulate General in Shanghai, secretly kidnapped him without informing the British side of the situation, whether it would cause a diplomatic dispute and then affect the close relations between Britain and the United States, was completely out of their consideration.
