Lost and Spy

The method Meng Shaoyuan used was actually very simple. The top two bullets in the pistol were blank rounds.

And then that's it.

The simplest deception.

However, the simplest method is the most effective method for smart people.

Because you are dealing with smart people!
A wise man believes what he sees and what he has personally verified.

Tucker is just a very smart guy.

Meng Shaoyuan shot Tucker with a pistol.

Tucker was unscathed.

This is what he saw with his own eyes.

Then, Meng Shaoyuan gave Tucker the gun and asked him to shoot himself.

Still unscathed.

This is what he has personally verified.

Therefore, he trusted his own judgment.

just in case?

Of course there are contingencies.

Meng Shaoyuan also left behind a backup plan.

Tucker is simply a pervert and a murderer.

How could he let a perverted murderer go free?

"As long as you can survive, I promise not to make things difficult for you!"

Meng Shaoyuan has always been a person who keeps his "promises".

Of course Colonel Dillon would not know all this.

All he knew was that Gurrett was dead.

Moreover, he died in his own hands.

Colonel Dillon was not afraid of dead people.

He has killed too many people with his own hands.

But this time something is different.

The other party is an American.

And he’s still a civilian!

Once this kind of thing is exposed, even if someone wants to try their best to protect themselves, it may be difficult to find a solution.

I must leave here immediately.

There is also the landlord Hood. He has seen himself and must deal with him.

As long as he can return to the military camp, it will be his own world.

No one can do anything about themselves.

Colonel Dillon quickly picked up the bag containing the so-called evidence, then walked over and picked up the bag containing fifty thousand dollars.

With the other hand, he picked up the pistol on the ground and quickly left the house.

But when he took the first step out of the house, he was stunned.

Outside, several cars turned on their headlights, illuminating the outside brightly, and they were full of people.

Lieutenant Colonel Charles, Li Zhifeng, Major Hendlip, reporter Krista, landlord Hood, a strange US military officer with the rank of brigadier general, and four military police.

"Drop your weapons, put down your weapons!"

As soon as they saw Colonel Dillon holding a gun in his hand, the military police all raised their weapons, and the brigadier general shouted:
"Colonel, calm down and put down your weapons!"

Colonel Dillon hesitated, and for the first time since joining the army, he surrendered his gun.

"I'm Pate." The brigadier general said: "No matter what happens to you, please stay calm. Now, please don't do anything drastic!"

Colonel Dillon looked numb.

Two military policemen walked in, and after a while, they came out and reported the situation inside to Brigadier General Pate.

Brigadier General Pate's face turned gloomy: "Colonel, a body was found inside and he was shot to death. Was it you?"

Colonel Dillon remained silent.

Until now, not talking is the best option!

Major Hendlip stepped forward and took the two bags from Colonel Dillon's feet.

When I opened the first bag, there was actually a stack of letters on it.

Colonel Dillon also saw it, and his eyes widened. How could there be so many letters?
He clearly saw with his own eyes that Gurrett had this bag filled with money, and there was no letter at all!
Picking up the letter, Major Hendlip whistled: "I've never seen so much money."

Stacks of dollars were quietly placed in the bag.

Major Hendlip opened a few letters and read them, his expression suddenly changed: "Charles, I heard that several murders occurred in Manila Port. Have they been solved?"

"It was detected, but the murderer ran away." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "He disguised himself as a charity person, Tucker. We have been arresting him."

"I think there may be no need to arrest him anymore." Major Hendlip raised the letter in his hand: "Tucker is dead, and he died in the house."

"Impossible!" Tucker finally said: "That's Gurrett, not Tucker!"

"General, can we go in and take a look?"

At Major Hendlip's request, Brigadier General Pate agreed.

Meng Shaoyuan, Major Hendlip, Brigadier General Pate and Krista, who was responsible for recording everything, walked in together.

Two strong flashlights were turned on, finally making the room brighter.

The body of "Guret" lay there.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, Major Hendlip squatted beside the body.

Krista kept taking photos.

Major Hendlip examined it carefully for a moment, then tore off the disguise from "Guret's" face.

This is a face that has been made up!Soon, a brand new face appeared in front of everyone.

Tucker!

Even if there is no need to find anyone to verify the true identity of the corpse, everyone knows that the corpse on the ground is not "Guret", but Tucker!
They went out again.

Colonel Dillon didn't know what they found in the house, and his expression was uncertain.

"These letters record a dirty deal." Major Hendlip said coldly: "A murderer named Tucker killed several innocent girls in Manila Port and then absconded.

Unfortunately, Tucker got to know a great man, or to be more precise, he mastered the secret of this great man!This big shot was forced to provide him with protection, and also gave him a large amount of money. The transaction time is today. "

His eyes fell on Colonel Dillon: "Are you the big shot, Colonel Dillon!"

"No!" Colonel Dillon roared.

"So, does this fifty thousand dollars belong to you?" Major Hendlip sneered: "Please don't lie. Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money. Even if you deny it, we can find out quickly. source."

Colonel Dillon knew this very well. He had no way to argue whether the $[-] was his own: "Listen, the $[-] is mine. That's because I lost a lot of money gambling with Gurrett." , fifty thousand dollars. Yes, I sent him money today."

He made a judgment in the shortest time. The body of "Guret" was inside, and the gun that killed him was also in his hand. He had no way to quibble. Therefore, if he admitted that he killed by mistake, he could still find ways to do it in the future. To mitigate or even exonerate yourself:
"I gave money to this gambler and liar as agreed, but he was greedy and wanted more money. He took out a gun and threatened me. In order to protect myself, I had to fight with him. During the fight, , I don’t know who pulled the trigger, I was just acting in self-defense. Regarding these, you can check the scene carefully, I think I will be treated fairly."

"Colonel, we will check the scene carefully, and I can guarantee that you will be treated fairly!" Major Hendlip said calmly: "Where is this bag? Is the money in this bag?"

"Yes." There was no need for Colonel Dillon to deny these things: "I brought the money in my own bag, and then at Gurrett's request, I transferred the money to the bag provided by Gurrett. However, I What is certain is that the letters were not in the bag at the time."

"Really? So is Gurrett a great magician?" Major Hendlip smiled sarcastically: "In the letter, we got the evidence we wanted. Colonel, to Gurrett, more strictly speaking, to Tucker provided help. According to preliminary judgments from the text, he was a soldier and a senior officer.

Of course, this person was very cunning and didn't sign, but that doesn't matter. I think we will find this person soon by identifying the handwriting. "

It's a conspiracy!
He didn't know how the letters got into that bag, but he knew that if the handwriting was identified, they would definitely be his.

This is simply a frame-up of oneself.

"I have a question."

Brigadier General Pate suddenly said: "Although I don't know how to solve crimes, I think it would be safer if two people met face to face? Will these letters leave evidence for myself?"

Colonel Dillon saw hope immediately.

Major Hendlip said calmly: "It does seem to be the case on the surface, but Tucker has a special identity. He is a captured murderer. If he appears in the military camp, he will be in danger of being exposed. And he is also He was not sure if he would be killed if he met Colonel Dillon alone.

Therefore, in order to ensure his own safety, communication is the safest way for Tucker.These letters, and the big shot in them, must be retrieved. "

He is a lawyer and will not say anything without evidence.

But almost everyone understood that after killing Tucker, Colonel Dillon not only wanted to get back the $[-], but also the letters he wrote.

And this is why the letter appears in the bag.

"Lieutenant Colonel Charles, please keep these evidences properly."

"Ok."

Meng Shaoyuan took the bag filled with dollars and letters.

From beginning to end, he never expressed any opinions of his own.

Let Major Hendlip play to his heart's content.

This is his "home field"!
Then Major Hendlip picked up the second bag.

In the bag, there is a lot of information.

Major Hendlip read it very carefully, and then he handed the information to Brigadier General Pate, and then sighed and said: "Colonel, I didn't know what kind of information Tucker had on the big shot in the letter. , but what I can be sure of now is that Tucker has your handle!

Colonel, back then, your father died while hunting, and your brother also disappeared mysteriously.However, Tucker didn't know why, but he found a lot of evidence that your father and your brother were killed by you. It was you who killed your family! "

"What nonsense!" Colonel Dillon roared: "This is not evidence at all, it is all fabricated, it is forged, this is a conspiracy against me!"

"Calm down, Colonel." Brigadier General Pate stopped the colonel: "I was entrusted by General MacArthur's plenipotentiary representative Mr. Slain to come to Spabanos to investigate some special situations. I have great independent and arbitrary power. I will I was fully responsible for all emergencies in the Spabanos area and made my own judgment. At the same time, General MacArthur gave me the command of Gendarmerie B Platoon.

It's a pity that I just came to Spabanos and saw a scene I didn't want to see.You admitted that you killed someone, maybe it was a manslaughter, but I had to investigate the whole thing in detail.

As for the others?I will immediately set up an investigation team to conduct a careful screening and report the results to General MacArthur as soon as possible.Before that, I will temporarily take over your command of the 19th Cavalry Regiment. At dawn, General MacArthur will also receive my report.Do you have any objections to this? "

Colonel Dillon had no objections. In this case, even if he had objections, what could he do?

Major Hendlip added: "I deeply regret the tragedy at Colonel Dillon's home, but as new evidence emerges, I will ask the Fenwell Police in the New England Highlands to reopen the case. Launch an investigation!”

"Okay, now please take Colonel Dillon and leave."

Colonel Dillon was escorted away under the guard of two gendarmes.

"Listen, everyone." Brigadier General Pate said with a serious face: "This is a very bad case involving a senior US military officer, so I don't want too many people to know about it before the case becomes clear. Chris Ta, I also hope you can stop reporting on this case for the time being."

He was very polite to Krista because she knew very well that the person behind this reporter was very powerful.

Otherwise, General MacArthur and Mr. Slain would not have sent themselves directly to Spabanios.

What he was even more aware of was the conflict between General MacArthur and General Patton, and Colonel Dillon's backing was General Patton.

Therefore, you must handle this matter carefully, otherwise you will get into big trouble.

"Of course I won't report it right away because I don't have the right. But there is a War Information Control Bureau."

Krista said mockingly.

Brigadier General Pate was relieved: "Secure the scene immediately."

"Let me do it."

Meng Shaoyuan, who had never spoken, finally said: "I will let my people guard this place and not let anyone get close. Reinforcements will arrive at dawn."

After saying that, he glanced at Hood: "As for you, you must stay here. You are not allowed to leave here until the case is solved."

This task naturally fell on Li Zhifeng.

He watched everyone leave without saying a word.

Then, he and the taciturn Hood exchanged glances and quickly walked into the room.

Opening the table where Tucker had put his bag, Li Zhifeng took out another bag that was exactly the same.

Inside, there was also $[-]!

This is the real money Colonel Dillon brings.

This is just a simple prop magic, the tabletop can be flipped.

Tucker turned his back to Colonel Dillon, then quickly turned the table and exchanged the pre-arranged bags one by one!

Well, magic is called magic because its clever design can completely deceive most people's eyes!
