Next, Delmar closed her mouth tightly and didn't speak, no matter what method Xiao Zhenlei used, she kept silent, which made the interrogation enter a deadlock for a while. "Top" point "small" said, www.

At this moment, Wang Yaqiao pushed the door in from the outside, in fact, he had been listening to all the conversations between Xiao Zhenlei and De Mar at the door, he walked to Xiao Zhenlei and leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Xiao Zhenlei's eyes lit up when he heard this, Wang Yaqiao then left the room and closed the door, and after Wang Yaqiao left the room, Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Don't think that if you don't speak, we don't know who Barnes is, I think this person must be in Shanghai now, and his status is not low, otherwise it is impossible to order you to kill me, and he can order you in Shanghai, and there is only one person with an extraordinary identity, he is Colonel Barnes, military attache of the British Consulate General in Shanghai and commander-in-chief of the International Chamber of Commerce, right?" ”

When Delmar heard this, he suddenly looked like a deflated ball, drooping his little head and saying nothing, obviously being hit by Xiao Zhenlei.

Xiao Zhenlei didn't care if she said or not, and continued: "I don't understand one thing, I have no grievances with Banes, why did he kill me? Even if I offend him in any way, there is no need for him to be as knowledgeable as me in his status and status, right? ”

Hearing this, Delmar raised his head and said: "Because you killed six British soldiers and two patrols at the gate of the public garden a few months ago, we have enough reason to suspect that you did it, but we can't find any evidence, Colonel Barnes thinks that you have ignored the concession authorities and trampled on the dignity of the British Empire, and arresting without evidence is easy to cause strong adverse effects, but Colonel Barnes can't tolerate you getting away with it, so he decided to let you disappear secretly!" ”

"Snort-" Xiao Zhenlei sneered. "Hehe, that's great. The military attache of the consulate in Shanghai plotted to assassinate a businessman, and the news would have been known to the major newspapers. I estimate that the British Empire will immediately become a scandal all over the world! ”

Seeing Xiao Zhenlei's appearance, Dema said lightly: "Really? Who will believe your word? Do you think that if you capture me, you can use me as a tool against Barnes? If you think so, you are very wrong, I am a person without formation, I am only responsible to Barnes, no one knows that I am in the service of England except him, and if you push me out, Banes will definitely not admit it. Even if Barnes is implicated, the British government will not admit it! ”

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and did not speak, he also knew that only one Delmar could not deal with Barnes, if this matter became a big problem, the British authorities would definitely remove Barnes and let him be a substitute for the dead, and then it would be as if nothing had happened.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Besides Barnes, is there anyone else who knows about this matter?" For example, the British Consul General in Shanghai, Frank Faleth? ”

Delmar shook her head and said, "Barnes has been asking me to investigate this matter specifically. But although I know that you did it, but I can't find any evidence, how can Barnes report this to Farex in the absence of evidence? He didn't want to be scolded! ”

"In other words, only the two of you know about it. Barnes is just a military attache stationed in Shanghai, how can he have such a skilled subordinate as you? What exactly is your organization? Let's talk about it, since it's all about it. Do you want to keep it a secret? Even if you don't say it, I'll find out. It's just a waste of time! ”

Delmar was silent for a long time before she sighed and said, "Four years ago. The British War Secretary R. B. Haldane implemented the reform of the army, and one of the reforms was the establishment of a military intelligence department, but the question of the ownership of the General Staff as an intelligence department was debated, and the result of the dispute was the establishment of a separate military intelligence agency, which has always been attached to the name of the National Defense Committee, which was later called MI5, or MI5 for short. It has always worked in extreme secrecy, without the authority of the government and without its name on the list of government departments".

Xiao Zhenlei comes from later generations, and he knows a lot about the British MI5, in his previous life, he had a lot of dealings with MI5 and MI6 people, his pupils shrank, and he sighed: "It turned out to be the famous MI5, it seems that I am really unfortunate to provoke this terrible organization!" But as far as I know, MI5 is only responsible for domestic counter-espionage and other security work, while overseas intelligence gathering is handled by MI6, right? Since you are MI5, how can you be sent to China? You are a German, and now German spies are operating everywhere in England, if I were the chief of MI5, I would definitely not waste resources and would definitely send you back to Germany on a mission! ”

Dema looked at Xiao Zhenlei in some surprise, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" Why do you know so much? It seems that we still know too little about you! ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of his cigarette and knocked on the table: "Now I'm asking you, not you're asking me!" ”

Delmar couldn't help but feel a little angry, but after thinking about it, he said: "I didn't expect you to know so much, that's right, at the beginning of this year, the British Imperial Defense Committee led by Prime Minister Asquith set up a working group to investigate and solve the problem of German espionage. The working group then proposed the idea of creating a secret bureau and drew two officers from the army to work. One of them was Vernon of the South Staffordshire Regiment? Colonel Kyle, who was working in the Intelligence Section of the National Defense Commission, which was the Military Intelligence Unit established a few years earlier, was a well-known China expert; The other is Mansfield from the Royal Navy? Colonel Cumming, who joined forces to create the Secret Service, soon realized that the task was twofold, one of whom was responsible for understanding what was happening in Britain and devised countermeasures to stop it; The other was tasked with sending his own agents to Germany to learn about his strategic plans. Kyle took up the burden at home, while Cumming was responsible for collecting intelligence overseas, and MI5 and MI6 were born! Although MI5 and MI6 have their own division of labor, intelligence work has always been you have me, I have you, I am nominally MI6 people, but in fact MI5 people! ”

"And what about Barnes? Who is he? As far as I know, he has been in China for a long time, and he should have been in China before MI5 and MI6 were established, right? Xiao Zhenlei asked, lit a cigarette and smoked it.

Delmar nodded: "That's right, but he was a member of the Intelligence Section of the National Defense Commission before, and he was appointed as the head of the Shanghai station of MI6 after the separation of the Secrecy Bureau!" ”

After coming out of the room, Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao came to his office together, the two sat down face to face, Wang Yaqiao threw Xiao Zhenlei a cigarette and asked: "I heard the specific situation, I believe she didn't lie, she told everything she knew, what are we going to do with her next?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked a few puffs, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I'll leave it to you to deal with!" ”

Wang Yaqiao joked: "Will you be reluctant?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei scolded with a smile: "In my eyes, you Wang Jiuguang have never joked, do you think I am the kind of person who can ignore a person's personal feelings for the sake of his children?" ”

Wang Yaqiao nodded: "Okay then!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei knew that he had to do his best to solve the trouble of Barnes, and when the only people in the know were Banes and Demar, he solved Barnes, so no one in the Public Concession and the British side doubted him anymore.

It was September 2nd, and it was very hot during the day, but in the evening it became muggy, and there were large dark clouds in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily, but after dinner time, the heavy rain had not yet fallen.

There is a car on the right at the end of Huade Road in the North District of the Public Concession, Xiao Zhenlei is sitting in the driver's seat of the car, in the past few days, he sent someone to investigate the daily activities of Barnes, although Barnes is the British military attache in Shanghai, and is the head of the Shanghai station of MI6, but this person is very playful, with the arrogance of the British aristocracy is very strict, and more importantly, he is a little petty bourgeoisie, his home is placed in the consulate, but he also has a secret villa outside, in the secret villa, He kept a Belgian woman in captivity, and this secret villa was across the road from Xiao Zhenlei at this time, and Barnes came here to have a secret meeting with his Belgian woman since he got off work today, and Xiao Zhenlei followed him here from outside the consulate.

It's been three hours, Xiao Zhenlei sat in the car and didn't move, then he reached out and took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, the clock was already pointing to ten o'clock, he picked up the binoculars from the passenger seat and looked at the villa across the road.

After a long time, he put down the binoculars, took out a box cannon and checked the magazine, and then loaded the magazine and inserted the box cannon back into his waist, he pushed the car door and got out of the car, closed the door and looked left and right, there was no one around, he walked towards the wall of the villa.

When he got close to the wall, he ran a few steps, jumped up one by one, strode at one foot on the wall, put his hands on the wall at the same time, twisted his body, rolled over the wall, and landed lightly on the lawn in the villa. He observed his surroundings, the insects chirping in the flowers stopped because of his arrival, and he hunched over and followed the cover of the surrounding flowers and trees to the eaves of the villa and the western-style building.

The door of the western-style building was closed, and he made a detour around the western-style building, and when he was still on the side of the western-style building, he found that there was a sound of frolicking and water from behind.

He stood under the side wall and looked out to see a man and a woman frolicking in a large swimming pool, which he guessed was Barnes and his Belgian woman. (To be continued......) R527
