Lost and Spy

"Who are you, what is your true identity!"

Meng Shaoyuan asked this sentence.

Then, he looked at Xiang Haizhong calmly.

Xiang Haizhong remained silent.

"It's useless if you don't speak in front of me."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "When you were queuing, you looked no different from anyone else, but you had been quietly observing the situation in Manila Port and its surroundings.

Especially when there are US troops passing by, you observe for a longer time, and you use your memory to record how many US troops are here.

Also, when goods come in and out, you will also observe carefully. Although you try your best to hide it, you are incompatible with the people around you.

why is it like this?You are a refugee, but you are not a real refugee. You have a special mission, right? "

Xiang Haizhong said blankly: "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about."

"You know, you must know." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "When I called you here and asked you in English, you obviously understood, but you pretended not to understand.

When I said, "Look up," your thumb moved almost as soon as I finished speaking.This is a normal human reaction.

Ah, of course, what I said is a bit far-fetched, maybe you just happened to move your thumb.But you were so protective of your identity that you made a mistake.

You said that your family has been in Manila since the generation of Grandpa Taizu.Have you ever thought about one thing? Before, the Philippines has always been the Philippines of Americans. People who live here have to deal with Americans every day and understand some English. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to get along in Manila. "

Xiang Haizhong finally knew what mistake he had made.

But his face remained unmoved.

"You are very careful, but you have made too many mistakes." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Actually, I don't blame you, another person would not have discovered you. But you met me. I can basically confirm that you He is a latent spy.

Now the question arises, which institution are you affiliated with?Americans, British, French?No, the US military has completely occupied Manila now. If you are their spy, there is no need to do this.

Japanese spy?No, I used to be the head of the Japanese secret service in Manila, pseudonym Shibu Taniguchi. "

Xiang Haizhong's eyebrows moved.

"You've heard of me, right?" Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "What you show now is only surprise, not anger. You are not a Japanese spy, no."

He murmured, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, he looked at Xiang Haizhong again: "Now, you can tell me your true identity. Don't lie. No one can lie in front of me!"

Xiang Haizhong, who had been in a state of collapse just now without changing his expression, actually trembled after hearing these words.

He stared at Meng Shaoyuan for a while, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever stayed in Shanghai?"

This sentence made Meng Shaoyuan suddenly enlightened, and all his questions had answers:
"Once you enter this door!"

"Military rule for life!" Xiang Haizhong replied without hesitation.

Military command!

This person is from the military!

"No one can lie in front of me." Xiang Haizhong's eyes turned red: "Only one person is qualified to say such things! His surname is Meng, the head of the military commander's Shanghai latent area, Meng Shaoyuan!"

This time, Li Zhifeng asked first: "How long have you been lurking in Manila?"

"In March of the 29th year of the Republic of China, I was ordered to go to Southeast Asia for lurking. The task was assigned by Gui Jilu, leader of the No. 12 detachment of the Shanghai latent zone of the military command." Xiang Haizhong immediately replied: "Because my Xiang family did immigrate here very early. Manila, so I was sent here by Captain Gui.

Since my family is here, I quickly became a local. "

Li Zhifeng understood.

No wonder he calls his boss "district chief."After he arrived in Manila, what happened in the country was unknown.

Gui Jilu?
Ah, just remembered.

The 29th year of the Republic of China, that is 1940.

Xiang Haizhong was sent to Manila in March 1940.

Gui Jilu died in July 1940.

Therefore, in these years, no one directed Xiang Haizhong at all.

Well, Dai Li has always attached great importance to Southeast Asia.

Over the years, he has continued to dispatch agents to Southeast Asia.

Especially as the situation became tense, the military commander was ordered to start looking at transferring China's assets in Southeast Asia, and Dai Li also began to mobilize personnel from all over the country to carry out special tasks in Southeast Asia.

Shanghai sent especially many agents.

Xiang Haizhong is one of them.

Meng Shaoyuan stared at Xiang Haizhong: "I am Meng Shaoyuan!"

The guess in Xiang Haizhong's heart was finally confirmed. He immediately straightened his body: "I have seen you, sir, from the Ministry of Commerce's military command! Xiang Haizhong, a special agent of the Ministry of Commerce's military command, was ordered to carry out the mission. All the information has been properly hidden by the Ministry of Commerce and is available at any time. Leave it to the organization!”

Until now, he still doesn't know that Meng Shaoyuan is actually "dead".

Moreover, the war was coming to an end, and all the intelligence he had collected over the years had become worthless.

But Meng Shaoyuan didn't say this: "Have you been fighting alone all these years?"

"Yes." Xiang Haizhong said: "My mission here is to collect intelligence and wait for orders at any time. But I don't know why, I haven't received new orders. I can only continue according to Captain Gui's instructions. Gather intelligence.”

Meng Shaoyuan asked: "After the US military attacked Manila, why didn't you try to get in touch with the US military?"

Xiang Haizhong replied without hesitation: "Because, before I set off, Captain Gui told me that I would only be led by him and my identity would be top secret. Without his order, I would not allow his identity to be exposed.

This time, if you were not District Chief Meng, I would not have exposed my identity. "

good man!
Li Zhifeng couldn't help but say in his heart.

Xiang Haizhong then asked cautiously: "Sir, how is Captain Gui?"

In fact, Gui Jilu has not contacted him these years, and he already has a faint sense of ominousness in his heart.

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Not long after you went to Manila, Gui Jilu was captured during a mission because his identity was exposed.

Gui Jilu performed very bravely. In prison, he was tortured by the Japanese. In the end, he died heroically for his country! "

Xiang Haizhong stood there. After a while, he saluted a military salute in the direction of his motherland.

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at him: "Are you registered or not?"

He asked whether Xiang Haizhong was a registered agent of the military command.

Xiang Haizhong shook his head.

"You are just a temporary worker." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "A non-staff personnel, just for an order, hanging alone overseas, unswervingly determined, persisting in carrying out the task for several years, you are very good."

you are fine.

And these words, in Xiang Haizhong's ears, were already the highest praise given to him by an officer! (End of chapter)
