Lost and Spy

The rain fell harder.

This not only hindered the US military's offensive, but also forced the Port of Manila to suspend work.

Several cargo ships, including the "Miami Soar", braved the wind and rain to leave the port and began to deliver supplies to the US military.

The victory of the US military is also inseparable from the efforts of these people.

"Something might happen tonight."

After resting for a long time, Li Zhifeng got up and looked at the wind and rain outside and said, "The murderer is very likely to take action tonight."

"Why?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

Li Zhifeng glanced at him in surprise. His eyes seemed to be saying how could you, Master Meng, have the nerve to ask such a simple question: "Storms can often lower people's vigilance. At the same time, with the help of heavy rain, they can cover up his traces and provide a better environment for further detection." Creating trouble."

"Ah, yes." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten it. So what are you going to do tonight?"

Li Zhifeng felt that the young master was a little weird today: "I plan to take a few fewer people today, reduce the target, and focus on control at a few points where things may go wrong. Maybe something will be gained!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Shaoyuan stretched his muscles and said, "Hurry up and take a good rest."

……

Towards evening, there was a slight rain in the afternoon, and suddenly it became heavy again.

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be in a good mood and actually called Peng Bilan, Coston, Captain William and Lieutenant Nate to his place.

The pot is steaming hot and full of aroma.

"what is this?"

Couston also asked curiously.

"Hot pot, hot pot." Meng Shaoyuan said with a proud face: "That is a famous delicacy in China."

Hot pot later became famous all over the world, but now, its fame is still limited to China.

Although it was the first time for these foreigners to eat hot pot, the aroma as soon as they came in had completely aroused their taste buds.

"Come on, come on, let's all eat." Meng Shaoyuan greeted happily: "I haven't had hot pot in a long time."

He also specifically said: "When eating hot pot, you must use chopsticks."

There is a pair of chopsticks in front of everyone.

For foreigners who have never used chopsticks, it is still very difficult at first, but as long as they try to use them for a while, except for peanuts and soybeans, there is no problem in eating normally.

The seasonings are also prepared, prepared by Meng Shaoyuan's cook himself.

He picked up a dish with chopsticks, rolled it in the seasonings, and took one bite, which made the three foreigners full of praise.

"It's raining outside. It's great to have hot pot at home."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and suddenly sighed again: "Hey, it's a pity that my subordinate, Second Lieutenant He Teer, is still patrolling in the rain. I feel very uneasy. So, I decided."

He stood up and brought two bottles of wine: "Let's have a few drinks and bless them."

Several people looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not laughing.

Just be a human being.

Li Zhifeng and Second Lieutenant Ter were patrolling in the rain, while these guys were hiding in the house, eating hot pot and drinking wine.

"Lieutenant Colonel, according to our judgment, the murderer is likely to appear tonight."

Captain William said after eating for a while.

His judgment is the same as Li Zhifeng's.What better cover than a rainy night?

"But I think the murderer will definitely not show up tonight." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly.

"why?"

Cawston and Lieutenant Nate asked at the same time.

"Charles." Coston said, "Even though I am a layman, I have read some detective novels. This type of heavy rainy day is definitely suitable for murderers to commit crimes."

"You are right, Coston." Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of wine and said, "But any situation must be judged based on the situation at the time. In my opinion, the murderer will definitely not show up tonight.

Not only will it not appear today, but if the rain does not stop, the murderer will still not appear. "

Several people looked puzzled.

But seeing how sure Meng Shaoyuan looked, several people were completely confused.

Captain William couldn't help but ask: "Lieutenant Colonel, do you think the murderer has disappeared?"

"No." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "When the rain stops one day, the murderer will naturally attack again. At that time, it will be time for us to catch him."

"Maybe." Cawston shrugged.

But anyone can see that he doesn't really believe it.

"Hey, you're all here."

At this moment, the female reporter Krista arrived uninvited and pushed the door open. As soon as she came in, she said, "It smells so good. What are you eating?"

"Hot pot, hot pot."

Although this woman had a headache, since all the guests were here, and considering her life experience, Meng Shaoyuan still asked Peng Bilan to bring her dishes and chopsticks.

Sure enough, when Krista ate it, she was also full of praise.

After eating only a few chopsticks, Krista asked Meng Shaoyuan the question he was most afraid of asking: "Lieutenant Colonel, have you found the murderer?"

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan shake his head, Krista was a little disappointed: "I heard that you arrested a lot of Japanese, but after the final investigation, no one was suspected?"

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I only have so much ability. I'm afraid I will disappoint the reporter."

"Arrest all the Japanese." Captain William hated the Japanese deeply: "Interrogate each one carefully. It may take a little longer, but I am sure that the murderers will be found."

"There is a way, but it is basically impossible to implement it." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Japanese overseas Chinese are scattered in every corner of Manila. First, we have to identify which ones are Japanese and which are not. Just with this workload, with our Humans simply cannot do it.

Those arrested must also be interrogated, identified, and confirmed.William, tell me, can you complete these tasks? "

Captain William thought for a while and then shook his head helplessly.

Krista frowned: "Should we just wait here? The murderer will appear anytime and anywhere. What will happen to the next victim? I can't even imagine it now. Lieutenant Colonel, please think no matter what Find a way to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Meng Shaoyuan still said calmly: "Maybe if we eat hot pot here, the murderer will come out?"

Crazy, Lieutenant Colonel Charles must be crazy to come up with this idea.

"Lieutenant Colonel, is this your approach?" Krista was a little angry: "Are you perfunctory, or do you think the murderer is an idiot?"

"A bet?" Meng Shaoyuan said suddenly.

"Bet?" Krista was startled.

"I believe that the murderer will show up on his own initiative." Meng Shaoyuan's mouth showed a smile again: "When the rain stops, the murderer will be unable to restrain himself and show up on his own initiative!" (End of Chapter)
