Lost and Spy

The place where the little girl was attacked is just west of the periphery of Manila Port.

The place is still in ruins.

According to Second Lieutenant Ter's report, he indeed inspected this place yesterday, but did not find any suspicious persons.

Meng Shaoyuan believed that Second Lieutenant Ter would not lie to him.

But what's the problem?
How did the murderer kill that little girl and not be discovered?
Meng Shaoyuan stood there and stared at the little girl for a long time.

Like most Filipino children, the little girl is barefoot.

Meng Shaoyuan squatted down and stared at the little girl's feet for a long time.

very dirty.

But Meng Shaoyuan kept watching with relish.

Then, his eyes fell on the little girl again.

There are also scars on other parts of the little girl's body.

Meng Shaoyuan was on the little girl's body, picked up something, looked at it, and then put it in his pocket.

After a while, Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said, "Let's go around."

Before leaving, he ordered Lieutenant Ter to try his best to find the little girl's family. If he couldn't find it, he would bury the little girl properly.

"Boss, did you find something?"

Li Zhifeng asked as soon as he went out.

"Found? What did you find?" Meng Shaoyuan stretched.

Li Zhifeng curled his lips.

The boss has this kind of virtue and specializes in pretending to be sophisticated.

With his appearance, he must have found some clues.

He was just titillating and deliberately didn't say anything.

Then after the case is solved, they will definitely use the experience of how to solve the case to make a big show of it.

This is his boss.

Therefore, Li Zhifeng didn't ask at all, so as not to satisfy the boss's perverted psychology.

Now, news of successive murders of little girls has begun to spread nearby.

Everyone in the Philippines here is panic-stricken. Those who have daughters at home have been warned repeatedly not to go out at night.

Li Zhifeng didn't know where his boss was going.

In short, Meng Shaoyuan was wandering east and west, seemingly aimless.

However, when he reaches some places, he will stay there for a while.

After wandering around until noon, the charity organization began to distribute food.

The queue is already very long and the end is as far as the eye can see.

The food was two biscuits per person and a little carrot soup.

Although it looks very crude, it is enough for a person to survive.

Moreover, even with this small amount, the amount needed every day is still very large, and the financial pressure is equally heavy.

"Can you eat enough for this?"

Meng Shaoyuan stood there and watched for a while and asked.

Two biscuits are probably not enough to fit between your teeth, right?
"No way, we only have so much." The person in charge of distributing food here is a man named Bert: "In the evening, we will distribute a little bread. Although it cannot fill their stomachs, it is enough to keep them alive.

Sir, we are under great pressure. If the next batch of ships cannot arrive on time, we may not be able to guarantee even this.Sir, can you help us think of a solution? "

Meng Shaoyuan shook his head.

What can I do?
These materials shipped from the United States are shipped on the freighters of those large consortiums.

When will the ship arrive and how much supplies can it transport?

How do you know? "It's hard to distribute food twice a day." Meng Shaoyuan asked very casually: "Are there enough manpower?"

"There are definitely not enough manpower." Belt sighed: "In addition to distributing food during the day, we also have to conduct investigations nearby at night. We must make every effort to help everyone we can."

Same as Tucker said.

"Thank you for your efforts." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If you need help, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you, sir."

After Belt finished speaking, he immediately returned to his busy work.

"Walk."

Meng Shaoyuan took a few steps and said, "Old Li, we will intensify patrols tonight. You will personally lead the team. You must not let go of any suspicious characters or targets."

"Leave it to me." Li Zhifeng didn't care at all: "Then the Americans are still unreliable."

……

As Li Zhifeng said, those Americans are really unreliable.

After patrolling for two consecutive nights, there were no problems on the route Li Zhifeng was responsible for.

However, everything was calm last night and no body of the little girl was found.

It seemed that as the patrols intensified, the murderer must have felt the pressure.

"Father."

Peng Bilan came in with a cup of tea.

He knew that Meng Shaoyuan liked to drink tea, but not much about coffee.

Therefore, when she came to Manila this time, she specially brought a lot of tea.

"People like Xu Zhu and Gan Ning haven't come yet. They must have been delayed by something."

Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of tea: "I have asked Meng Zhejun to find them. How is the situation there?"

"The excuse for the 'Miami Soar' to come to Manila is to transport timber." Peng Bilan said: "And, in order to ensure the smooth execution of the plan, we did start cutting and transporting timber.

However, the felling of wood will not be effective immediately. We are currently recruiting manpower, and it is estimated that the official construction will not be until half a month. "

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "The most important thing we lack now is time. The more stable we are, the less likely we will be exposed. However, the 'Miami Soaring' has nothing to do here at the port for the time being. Let's see if we can expand other businesses." .”

"Have."

Peng Bilan immediately said: "After capturing Manila, the US military continues to advance deeper into the Philippines. With Baguio as the center, a bloody battle will soon break out.

The US military is mobilizing all ships to carry out large-scale material transportation.Some empty ships staying in Manila Port have also received requests from the US military. Two ships under Cawston are about to set sail to help the US military transport supplies.

The same is true for our 'Miami Soar', which will ship a large amount of weapons and ammunition to Cagayan tomorrow.At the same time, local rice and other supplies are transported from Cagayan to Manila. "

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "When you come back, I'm afraid you will come back with an empty boat."

MacArthur's vision was very good.

The Cagayan Valley is a fertile, rice-producing region.

Yamashita Fengwen also used this as his base.

After a long period of preparation, almost all the rice in the Cagayan area was plundered.

Originally, in MacArthur's plan, after approaching the Cagayan area, he would start harvesting rice there and then transport it to the Guangfu area to relieve the local food pressure.

After all, all the supplies delivered are guaranteed by the US military.

As for those Filipino refugees, they basically have to rely on local solutions.

MacArthur also targeted Cagayan.

However, what he saw could only be devastation.

MacArthur couldn't get a grain of food.

After the liberation of Manila, the serious food problem of local refugees remained unresolved until the end of the Philippine War.
