Eight hundred and fifty-eight. demon
"Look, this is Beckman's 'Woman in Exile.'"
Arriving in her private collection, Anne Marie said proudly, pointing to a painting hanging in the middle of the wall.
Punat, who loves art, was immediately fascinated, and he had to take a closer look at the painting and appreciate the master's work.
Anne Marie brought a magnifying glass to Punet and Endet, and Punet looked around and placed the briefcase in his hand on the stone-carved table beside it, so that he could see it as long as he turned his head. Then he took the magnifying glass and approached the "exiled woman" with great interest.
But as soon as he turned around, the table suddenly opened, and then a pair of hands exchanged an identical bag for Punat's briefcase.
Punat's attention was completely focused on the "Woman in Exile" painting, not noticing what was happening behind him at all.
After carefully tasting it, Punate had not forgotten to turn his head to look at his bag, and he found that the bag was there, and his heart was put down.
Anne Marie kept explaining to Punet and Ondet the origin of the painting and the meaning of the painting, and Punath argued with her from time to time about something.
Then, the hand under the table behind him reached out again, and Punat's briefcase replaced the one that had been dropped.
It all went so seamlessly that it didn't attract any attention from Punat......
"It's a perfect piece." Punate sighed and returned the magnifying glass to Anne Marie: "It would be a perfect night for me to see a painting like this. ”
He already felt very satisfied. After a small talk with Anne-Marie and Ondet: "I'm sorry, Miss Anne-Marie, Mr. Krupp. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, and I can't stay here for long. Thank you for the dinner, and for allowing me to see Beckman's painting, Miss Anne Marie. ”
"Ah, I think I should go back too." Ondet looked at the time: "I am equally grateful to you, Miss Anne-Marie. General Punat, my car is on the way with you. I'll send you back. ”
"I hope to invite you again next time." Miss Anne Marie sent off her guests with a smile, and then quickly returned to her private treasure room, closing the door tightly.
The stone table opened. Below was a small basement, and the Ghent butler came out of it.
"Have you got it all?" The smile that Anne Marie had been wearing disappeared without a trace.
"Yes, I've got it all." The Ghent butler raised the miniature camera in his hand: "Just now I was a little worried that Punate would suddenly turn his head when changing bags. ”
"That stupid? He had no idea that all the top-secret documents had already fallen into our hands. Anne Marie pursed her lips disdainfully: "Immediately start flushing it out and tell the Allied General Headquarters the location of the secret anti-aircraft fire of the German army." ”
"Yes. I'll do it right away. ”
Anne Marie lit a cigarette. I took a slow breath.
Germans would never have thought about their identity......
......
"General Fels, is there anything important that you are so anxious to see me?"
"Field Marshal Ernst's, indeed, there is something very important." Firth hurriedly said: "Something very strange has happened, earlier this day, in the documents presented to me, I found such a letter of unknown origin. ”
Firth said as he handed the letter to Ernst. Marshal Braim: "Marshal, I think you must take a good look at the contents of this letter. ”
Wang Weiyi opened the letter, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became: "It is already possible that the location of our new air defense position has been leaked?" General Punat leaked there? Also Who is this Anne Marie? ”
"She's a very famous woman." Firth was quick to reply, "And she's also been commended by the government......"
He carefully introduced some things related to Anne Marie, and Wang Weiyi frowned after listening to it: "I have something strange. With such a tight enemy blockade, where did Anne Marie get these precious supplies? ”
"I don't understand it either." Firth immediately said, "And because of that. It is possible that what is stated in this letter is true. ”
"The letter also said that they have changed the real military deployment map through special means." Wang Weiyi put down the letter in his hand: "If Anne Marie is really a spy, then she must have gotten the documents when Punate went to the banquet." It is very simple to prove it, to see if the enemy's planes will bomb the fake artillery positions mentioned in the letter. ”
"We'll keep an eye on Anne Marie, and she might just be the 'old boy.'"
"A young and beautiful woman can be an 'old boy'." Wang Weiyi smiled: "This letter is just put in the document you want to scold?" ”
"Yes, I saw it right away." Firth nodded: "I secretly interrogated the people who had access to these documents just now, but judging from the current situation, there is no suspicion, how exactly did this letter get in, it really makes me curious." ”
"The person who put this letter has no malicious intent, but is there to help us ......," Wang Weiyi muttered: "But this person's ability seems to be not small, not only can he send this letter in unknowingly, but also has the ability to exchange the real military documents in Punat's briefcase." What's more, he can also discover Anne Marie's secrets. Who is this person? Where is he hiding? And why does he want to help us? ”
None of these questions could be answered.
The German intelligence services suffered severe damage during Kloll's time, which made everything difficult for Firth to take over.
It will take a lot of effort to find out these things.
But one thing Firth is very sure of is that this mysterious man is helping the Germans. Definitely not alone, he must have a large team around him. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do that.
But who is this person sacred......
......
Everything said in the letter was true, very quickly. The Allied air forces indiscriminately bombarded the new German anti-aircraft artillery positions. If it weren't for the fact that the "mystery man" had changed the documents in time, discovered and dismantled the enemy's conspiracy in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
There is no doubt that Anne Marie was a spy for the enemy.
"Faure. General Punat, you thought you were arrested for leaking secrets. ”
The first to be arrested was General Punat, who was dutifully directing the defense of Berlin there, and he did not react for a while. After a while, he said loudly: "Arrest me? Are you crazy? Who gave such crazy orders? ”
"Ernst. Marshal Bream! The gendarmerie captain was expressionless: "Please don't resist, General Punat." ”
General Punate did not put up the slightest resistance, and he felt that Marshal Ernst must have made a mistake. He never divulged any secrets.
It was the first time he had seen Field Marshal Ernst, and in the moment of excitement and tension, he did not forget to defend himself. He swore that he had never divulged any secrets, and that he had never told his wife anything about his work.
He swore that he was loyal.
"I believe in your loyalty to Germany." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "But loyal people can also do stupid things. General Fels. Tell him what he did. ”
Firth was quick to get to the bottom of the matter.
Punate was dumbfounded. He had no idea that such a thing would happen. The honor of a German soldier was completely tarnished by himself......
"Do you accept the charges against you, General Punat?" Wang Weiyi asked coldly.
"Yes, Marshal, I accept all the charges against me." Punate straightened his back: "And, I'm willing to accept all punishments!" ”
"You have been stripped of your military rank, and given that the situation has not deteriorated, you will not be charged with any other charges."
Field Marshal Ernst's decision silenced Punat in the car, and it was a long time before he had the audacity to say, "This is the punishment I deserve." Marshal. But I beg you not to let me leave the army, I can not be an officer. My only request is for me to be a normal soldier! Marshal, the enemy is attacking Berlin, and at this time you need any soldier with combat experience! ”
Wang Weiyi looked at the German officer, and then said: "General Punat, I have never doubted your loyalty to Germany, but you can't stay in the regular army. ”
Great disappointment appeared on Punat's face, but then he heard Wang Weiyi say: "There is a need for a large number of veterans with combat experience in the national army, Punat, are you willing to go there and serve as an ordinary commander?" ”
"I do!" Punat's answer did not hesitate at all: "Marshal, thank you for giving me such an opportunity, I am willing to die for you, for Germany!" ”
"Go down, Mr. Punat."
Plett gave a straight military salute to the marshal, and then strode out of the city.
As he went out, he saw Anne Marie approaching the place under the watchful eye of several German officers. Punet glared at her fiercely, it was this woman who had almost made herself a sinner in Germany.
Anne Marie was captured, and Wang Weiyi asked very simply when she faced this beautiful woman: "Say, tell everything you know, and don't deny anything." ”
"I have nothing to say, marshal." Even in this situation, Anne Marie was very calm: "I am loyal to Germany, and I am enthusiastically contributing my strength to Germany, but I don't quite understand what you are trying to do to arrest me. ”
"Miss Anne Marie, there's no point in playing these games." Wang Weiyi was not angry because of the other party's attitude: "I understand your determination very well, and you may not hesitate to sacrifice yourself for your own career, and I also think that you have done very successfully." Ah, you have denied the accusations against you, and if I ask you where you got those precious supplies, you will find all sorts of explanations. But what do you do with the radio stations and documents you find in your house? ”
Anne Marie said no more...... exposed, they have long been psychologically prepared...... And. They are all highly trained to deal with the situations in front of them......
"My time is precious." Wang Weiyi stood up as he spoke, and then someone grabbed Anne Marie's hand. He stared, "Very beautiful hands." ”
Suddenly, he took a sharp knife and slashed Anne Marie's arm, and blood flowed down her arm.
A look of pain flashed across Anne Marie's face, but she quickly raised her head and looked at Wang Weiyi without fear: "What, are you so capable?" ”
"Yes, that's what I'm capable of." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Take Miss Anne Marie and take her to the room specially prepared for her." ”
Anne Marie stood up fearlessly......
She was taken to a complete pitch black. There was not a single glimmer of light around, and he was firmly tied to the bed and couldn't move.
Then the door slammed shut.
Anne Marie didn't know what the other party wanted to do. But she was not afraid, did they think that darkness could break them?
Time passed slowly, and Anne Marie felt nothing but the pain of her wound.
One hour. The total darkness made her feel a little anxious. She needed some light. But she would never plead with the Germans.
Suddenly, there was a "tick" sound, and Anne Marie thought she had misheard, but then a faint "tick" continued to reach her ears.
What was that? Is it the sound of blood dripping from your own wounds?
At this time, outside the house, Firth was a little worried: "Marshal, is this method available?" ”
"I've used it once on Desade's body, and this time I've made some minor changes." Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "She is not afraid of death. I had to show her what fear was. ”
Firth was a little skeptical......
......
Two hours passed, and there was no sound in the room. Except for the "ticking" sound that sounded from time to time.
Anne Marie gradually hallucinated, and she was sure that the "ticking" sounds were coming from her wounds, and that they had been flowing for two hours, and that she would soon be dying from blood loss.
She is not afraid of death, she swears that she is not afraid of death, but this kind of psychological torture is the most terrible for her.
Waiting for death in darkness and loneliness......
The "ticking" sound continued...... Anne Marie sensed that life was leaving her. Little by little, leave yourself in the most cruel way.
A bullet ending a life is a completely different feeling than waiting for death in the darkness and loneliness.
She thought about her childhood, in the midst of a terrible "tick".
She thought about her teenage years, in the terrible "ticking" sound.
She thought of those who loved herself and the people she had loved, in the midst of a terrible "tick" sound.
This kind of psychological slow torture is completely devastating.
The sound of "ticking" continued, knocking on Anne Marie's heart.
An inexplicable fear suddenly rose in her heart, could it be that she died like this?
No, I'm only 26 years old this year, and I shouldn't have died in such a way at such an age. She still wants to live and live to see tomorrow.
But now all that accompanies her is the "ticking" sound of blood flowing.
Half of the blood in the body has been drained, right? How long can I hold on?
She wanted to open her mouth to call, but she forced back the words that had already come to her lips......
By the third hour, Anne Marie's fear had spread unstoppably throughout her body. I'm going to die, I'm going to die.
Who can come and save me!
"Help!" Anne Marie finally made such a call.
"Wait." Wang Weiyi, who heard the cry for help, looked at the time: "Her spirit has not completely collapsed. ”
"Yes." At this time, Firth was already convinced to the extreme.
It really doesn't take any criminal law to bring a once determined spy to his knees......
When the fourth hour came, Anne Marie was completely devastated, and she cried out for help over and over again.
She had an infinite desire to have someone come in, and she was willing to do anything for it.
"That's it." Wang Weiyi showed a triumphant smile on his face: "Let her out." ”
When Anne Marie was brought out, Firth couldn't believe it was the spy for hours. Her face was pale and bloodless, and her whole body trembled and trembled. And, what is even more surprising is that she keeps muttering "help me, help me" in her mouth.
"Give her a hot cup of coffee." Wang Weiyi still said quietly.
The hot coffee was delivered to Anne Marie, and she drank it all, only to recover a little. And at this time Ernst. Bream, in her eyes, was even more terrifying than a demon.
"Tell me everything you know." Wang Weiyi still said so succinctly.
This time Anne Marie had nothing to hide, she had told her identity and everything she had not concealed at all, she was afraid to enter the terrible room again, and although she found that her wounds had long since ceased to bleed, her heart was bleeding.
She knew that she had no way to fight the "demon" in front of her.
"So, are you the 'old boy'? ”
"No, I'm not an old boy."
Her answer was unexpected: "You're not?" ”
"Yes, I'm not."
"So who's the old boy?"
"I don't know who the old boy is!" (To be continued......)
