Chapter Forty-Six: Giving Up the Guard

In the temporary conference room, only Ni Xin and Li Shiqun were left, Li Shiqun rubbed his temples tiredly, moved his neck a few times, Ni Xin got up and walked behind him, massaging his shoulders and back. Li Shiqun asked: "When you spoke just now, you just said that you agreed with Yamaki Ryuzo's opinion, what do you think of it?" What would you like to talk to me about alone? Go ahead. ”

"Director, my subordinates are one of the suspects, and there are some things that I am not qualified to say......"

"I never doubted you, but you were in the middle of it, and on the surface you had to treat everyone equally. But until now, the insider ...... More and more, headaches. ”

Hearing this, Ni Xin's heart was relieved, and he replied with a smile: "Thank you for the director's trust, then the subordinates will be bold and outspoken." General Ono gave you three days, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to have definite evidence to find this spy. The subordinates believe that our working methods need to be improved in the future, and as long as some classified operations are carried out on the 76th, absolute secrecy is impossible. We can set up some safe rooms, organize temporary task forces, and go into a fully closed state to make sure that there are no leaks. ”

Li Shiqun nodded: "This construction is very good, start it immediately, you will be in charge, let Liu Zezhi's administrative department cooperate, and first build a safe house for backup." That's an afterword. What about what's in front of you? Tell us what you think. ”

Ni Xin obviously had already thought about it and replied, "Since General Ono is in a hurry to find out this undercover agent, then we will give him one." After this level, if this undercover agent is still there, he will also let his guard down, and we will slowly look for it. ”

"Someone? Who is it? Li Minghua? Why? ”

"Director, although his subordinates are not sure that Li Minghua is this undercover agent, he is the most suspicious. As for the others, although they are also suspicious, but these people are your left arm and right arm, kill them all, we can't afford to lose, and it will chill the hearts of many people. What's more, undercover agents may not necessarily be among these people. ”

Li Shiqun was noncommittal, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said to Ni Xin, who had not stopped massaging him: "Okay, it's much better, sit down and talk." Li Minghua? This is also a talent, and besides, the Japanese value him very much, can Ono believe it? ”

"Director, although Li Minghua's office has been shielded from the radio waves, according to your instructions, there are loopholes during the construction, and it is true that some suspicious signals have been heard, and his subordinates want to hand over these suspicious signals to General Ono, of course, this is not enough, so he uses this as an excuse...... The subordinates think that people like Zhou Chengbin are a minority after all, so why can't they ask for it? ”

Ni Xin swallowed and vomited, but Li Shiqun made his words clear: "You mean that bending is a trick?" ”

“…… Be...... Besides, he may not be wronged, as for the others, the director forgives his subordinates for their ignorance and nonsense, Zhao Jingdong was the first to be punished, and he was dismissed from his post and sent to prison for a year and a half. The subordinates and Yamaki Longsan took care of Zhou Chengbin unfavorably, and they had major demerits, and Tian Chengxi and Liu Zezhi were punished with demerits. Director, my subordinates speculate on what you mean, according to the insider's path of touching melons, there are too many branches, and it is not realistic to investigate, so you want to start from somewhere else? ”

"Yes, where do you think we should start?"

“…… Director, his subordinates always feel that Zhou Chengbin's sudden myocardial infarction is very weird, as far as we know, he has always been in good health, could someone of them do something tricky? Of course, myocardial infarction is certainly real, but is the cause of myocardial infarction solely because of electrocution? ”

Li Shiqun closed his eyes and was silent, and Ni Xin didn't dare to speak again. After a while, Li Shiqun said: "This investigation is in the right direction, but unfortunately it is not urgent. Three days, it's almost a day...... You may not know that Li Minghua and General Ono said that he had a way to fish out Guo Xuan. ”

Ni Xin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Li Shiqun had accepted his own proposal, but some details were being considered. smiled: "This is better, then release Li Minghua first, and limit him to fish out Guo Xuan within two days." succeeded, it is also your credit to catch Guo Xuan, as for the undercover agent, you can let Zhao Jingdong top the cylinder; failed, and there was just an excuse to torture Li Minghua. ”

Li Shiqun finally nodded and agreed: "That's it." You can't come forward now, it's up to Hitokazu Miura to take charge. You go back to the confinement room first. ”

In the confinement room, the four of them sat on their beds in a daze, and one of Liu Ze wrote hard. Ni Xin, who was followed by two guards, walked in, and none of the four people sitting on the bed moved, but they all watched attentively. The guard said, "Li Minghua, come out." ”

Li Minghua walked out of the door, and the door was locked again with a bang. Ni Xin didn't see any joy or anger on his face, and he also sat on the edge of the bed. In front of Li Shiqun just now, there was a sentence that came to his lips and he swallowed it back, about Liu Zezhi taking Mao Jun to the military hospital to find him, Ni Xin always felt that it was not in line with Liu Zezhi's consistent practice that more things are better than less things, and when Zhou Chengbin was being treated in the infirmary, Liu Zezhi also appeared outside the infirmary, is it ...... Alas, I'm a little nervous these days, and my neighbor steals an axe, and the more I look at it, the more I look like it, and everyone looks like an undercover agent. If Liu Zezhi really has a problem, he should hide from right and wrong, how dare he plead for himself and take the initiative to stir up the circle of right and wrong? How to say that the biggest suspect of undercover is still Li Minghua. In the future, I will have a chance to remind that stinky boy, don't think that one is a place. A few years later, the moment Ni Xin knew the truth, he had to admit that Liu Zezhi, who seemed to be careless, couldn't match his grasp of human nature.

Li Minghua was released from the confinement room, although he was not good at entertaining people and sophisticated people, but he also knew that this was his last chance, and he succeeded in trapping Guo Xuan, and since then he has been the hero of No. 76, and has won the favor of Heiichiro Ono, and his future is limitless; Once you miss it...... He felt a chill in his heart, and didn't want to think about it anymore, and then comforted himself, not long after Guo Xuan sneaked into Shanghai, Zhou Chengbin seemed to be unable to return to the team after recovering from injury for a while.

At 4 p.m. on June 2, the day Li Minghua was released from his confinement cell, the listening room of the Telecommunications Office of the Headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau overheard a message sent by No. 76, which appeared to be received in the South China Sea. There are thousands of such messages every day, and the general way to deal with them is to listen to them, register them, and send them to the decipherment room to try to decipher them, and of course there may not be a single one of the hundred ciphers that can be successfully deciphered. This day was no exception, after the decipherers got the secret message, they routinely tried to decipher it, but they didn't expect to decipher two of the texts without much effort, "one hundred and twenty penicillin" and "arrived in Shanghai on four days". One hundred and twenty pieces of penicillin, and the most common packaging is twenty-four boxes per piece, twelve bottles per box, for a total of thirty-four thousand five hundred and sixty pieces. This kind of anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine has long been lost in the civilian market, and the price on the black market exceeded a tael of gold for a penicillin a year ago, and now it is even more priceless. The fierce war between China and Japan is in full swing, and penicillin is a life-saving medicine on the battlefield, and sometimes one is the life of a soldier.

As a rule, such valuable information will be reported to the local underground spy organization along with the intercepted cipher frequency, and they will be asked to act on the opportunity. This time, of course, it will be done according to the old rules.

At seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, Guo Xuan received information from Liu Wu transferred by Ji Qun: the poisonous snake came out of the cave.

Two hours later, Yang Shuang personally sent the intercepted cipher from Chongqing. Guo Xuan carefully looked at the secret telegram, thoughtful, and said for a long time: "I'll go and listen to it myself to see if I can intercept the telegram sent by this frequency again." ”

For safety, after Zhou Chengbin was rescued, Guo Xuan transferred the radio station, separated from himself, and set up in the warehouse of the bookstore that Yang Shuang was in charge of.

In the sweltering and unventilated storeroom of the bookstore, Guo Xuan listened alone for a night, and it was not until dawn on June 3 that he took off his headphones and let out a sigh. called Yang Shuang, who was in charge of guarding outside: "Look at it, this frequency has been contacted three more times, can you see any doorway?" ”

Yang Shuang took four telegrams, looked at them again and again, and said with a smile: "I didn't see anything." Can it be deciphered? ”

Guo Xuan pointed out: "Don't worry about deciphering it first, didn't I teach you, get a secret telegram in your hand, first see if there is any abnormality in the time of his report and the length of the text, from which you can find a lot of information to provide conditions for the next step of decipherment." ”

Yang Shuang looked at it carefully again and shook his head ashamedly. Guo Xuan patted the back of his head lightly and heavily: "Is it a head or an elm pimple on your neck?" It's almost obvious to tell you, and I don't understand it yet. This is also in Shanghai, if you go back to Chongqing, you are a suzhì, and you still want to be a student of Chengmen Lixue? You're buried in the snow, and I can't accept a stupid student like you to smash the signboard. ”

Yang Shuang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. Guo Xuan pointed to a few telegrams and said: "These four telegrams are not long, but three of them all mention penicillin, and two mention the quantity, as if they are afraid that others will not know, and they have repeatedly emphasized." According to common sense, the name and quantity of the goods were already mentioned in the first telegram, so why repeat them again and again? Look at it again, after Chongqing intercepted the cipher, don't you think it's strange to decipher the two places? Penicillin is not a common word, and numbers are generally the most difficult to decipher in ciphercode. What does this mean? ”

Yang Shuang was a little enlightened: "You mean...... Deliberately? Is it a trap? ”

"You've finally got the hang of it. If this is indeed the case, such a large batch of life-saving Western medicines should be top secret, right? I remember teaching you, what is the most taboo thing about ciphertext? It is to use the same password to communicate frequently, giving the opponent too much information. From four o'clock yesterday afternoon to now, exactly twelve hours, four consecutive frequent contacts, is it normal? Is it necessary that the cargo is still at sea? ”

Yang Shuang nodded deeply: "What you said makes sense, why can't I think of that?" ”

Guo Xuan smiled, since Li Minghua defected and the military command Shanghai Station was wiped out for the second time, he was still in Chongqing at that time, so he made up his mind that one day, if he had the opportunity, he must get rid of this rebel scum! Since then, whenever he has free time, he has figured out Li Minghua's sending habits, password programming, and even the habitual words and sentences of the proposed ciphers. It can be said that he has never put such effort into any student. He looked at Yang Shuang and said with a smile: "I haven't started deciphering yet, I know more or less about your decipherment ability, I'll make a bet with you: if you use dim sum, you will definitely be able to decipher it within six hours." If you do, I'll officially accept you as a student. ”

Yang Shuang was overjoyed, as a telecommunications technician, it was a blessing to get Guo Xuan's occasional guidance, if he could be included in the door, I don't know how many people would envy him, he solemnly promised: "I will go all out." ”

"Okay, I'll go out and make some arrangements, and I'll be back at ten o'clock in the morning. Until I return, the radio station here must remain silent. ”
