Lost and Spy

The results of the reopened investigation by the Fenwell Police Department in the New England Highlands quickly reached the Port of Manila.

This is entirely the prediction made by Meng Shaoyuan in advance, and the influence played by Cawston.

Coston once again felt incredible. The development of the matter was exactly the same as Meng Shaoyuan had judged.

In a small forest about 100 meters away from Dillon's residence, the police really discovered something unusual.

The trees and weeds in one place grow more vigorously than those around them.

Not long after digging down, a skeletal corpse appeared.

Judging from the physique and rotting clothes, the owner of this white skeleton is most likely the missing Saier!

We can’t blame the police for their incompetence back then.

Dillon was still a teenager at that time, and the police would never link Sayre's disappearance to him.

And, as nearly everyone knew at the time, Purcell suffered from severe anxiety.

It is reasonable to run away from home.

When holding the survey results in hand, Meng Shaoyuan only said one sentence:
"Now, let's end this!"

Colonel Dillon was arraigned again.

When the report from the Fenwell Police Department was placed in front of Dillon, the US military colonel continued to choose silence.

He knew that things were so far away in the past and the police had too much work to do.

First, they must confirm whether the owner of the white bones is Seer.

Then, they have to prove whether the murderer is Dhillon.

This all takes a long time.

"Yes, Colonel Dillon."

Meng Shaoyuan, who had hardly spoken during the previous interrogation, took the initiative this time and said: "The Fenwell Police Department not only started investigating the bones, but also reopened the investigation of Bruno's murder. They began to believe that the shotgun malfunctioned. This is no longer a simple accident.

Maybe you think that too much time has passed in these two cases and a lot of evidence has disappeared, right?You were only half right.As time goes by, some evidence will disappear, but the main evidence will never leave.

Do you know what primary evidence is?That is, as long as one piece of evidence is found, it is enough evidence to convict the suspect.For example, according to the preliminary investigation by the Fenwell police, the victim was hit on the head with a blunt object, or to be more precise, he died after being hit continuously on the back of the head.

I decided to make a suggestion to the Fenwell Police to check whether the wound was caused by Lefty.Why am I so sure?Because I discovered that you, Colonel, are left-handed. "

Everyone's eyes fell on Colonel Dillon's left hand.

Colonel Dillon couldn't help but move his left hand.

Meng Shaoyuan just pretended not to see it and continued: "According to your sister Sandy, at that time, Saier refused to communicate with other people because of his severe mental illness. Only you could talk to him, and he was very afraid. You, he will do whatever you ask him to do.

So, taken together, this forms a chain of evidence.Control Sale, wound, southpaw.Main evidence!I believe the court will accept this primary evidence.And as the investigation proceeds, more and more evidence will surface. "

Although Colonel Dillon still looked expressionless, it was clearly noticeable that his left thumb was constantly moving.

His psychological defenses are breaking down.

Slain said at this time: "Colonel Dillon, General MacArthur has approved the establishment of a military court. I can tell you that this military court will be composed of five officers."

For a moment, Colonel Dillon turned pale.

This was the last thing he wanted to hear.

The military courts of the US military do not have permanent fixed courts. The courts are located wherever the military goes.Lawyers, judges and court-martial members are drawn from the units responsible for court-martial proceedings.Members of a military court are commonly known as jurors.

There are three levels of military courts. The lowest level is a court that hears misdemeanors. A lawyer or an army officer serves as a judge and a member of the military court. The sentence includes demotion and pay reduction, and a maximum of 30 days in prison.

The second level is the special military court, which generally hears misdemeanors. The sentences also include demotion, salary reduction, and expulsion from the military. The maximum sentence does not exceed one year.Unless the defendant requests to be tried by a military judge, he or she will be tried by at least three military members designated by the commander.

The Supreme Court is the highest military court that handles serious criminal cases. Unless the defendant requests to be tried by a military judge, it is tried by at least five military members designated by the commander. The sentence ranges from discharge from the military to the death penalty.

This means that Colonel Dillon's case has been raised to the highest level.

"Everyone, I request to talk to Colonel Dillon alone." Redondo said.

His request was quickly agreed to.

In the interrogation room, only Redondo was left drinking Dillon.

"smokes."

Dillon took the cigarette from Redondo and took a few puffs.

"We have known each other for 15 years, or longer?" Redondo stared at him: "I will always try my best to assist you in your affairs. I remember when you were a captain, you beat up your superior. When you also faced punishment, I protected you at all costs."

Colonel Dillon was silent.

"But not this time." Redondo changed the topic: "I negotiated with Pate and proposed that you die in honor of the battle, but Pate rejected it."

Colonel Dillon finally spoke: "Is there no chance of recovery?"

"I'm sorry, I tried my best." Redondo said in a low tone, "please plead guilty."

Confess your guilt.

Colonel Dillon's hand holding the cigarette began to tremble slightly.

He knew all too well what a confession would mean.

"Smuggling and manslaughter charges." Redondo sighed: "You will be stripped of your military rank and your prison term will not exceed five years."

Colonel Dillon's eyes were blank.

Leave the military?
Besides fighting, what else would you do?

Why did it end up like this?

Why does everyone have to deal with themselves?
"Why?" Colonel Dillon finally asked unwillingly: "Why do they treat me so viciously?"

"Don't you understand yet, Dillon?" Redondo said with a bitter look on his face: "You have hindered too many people's financial path. Spabanos is a traffic artery, and the Port of Manila is the largest port. All All smuggling passes through Spabanos.

what about you?Continuously seizing those smuggled materials, do you really think that a little smuggled material will kill you?No, you are wrong. These materials you have seized are just some exploring stones, and larger-scale transportation has not yet begun.

Those big conglomerates that control everything already think that you are a person who cannot be trusted, so they will take action against you.Do you think it was accidental that your sister came from the United States and that the Fenwell Police Department launched an investigation so quickly?No, that is a huge force, driving everything there. Even General Patton cannot stop this force! "

"MacArthur!" Colonel Dillon suddenly realized: "MacArthur deliberately placed me in Spabanos!"

Redondo nodded.

He finally figured it out.

Spabanios deliberately let him stay in Spabanios, because MacArthur knew what kind of person Colonel Dillon was.

If he stays here, he will offend everyone.

By that time, someone would naturally come to deal with Colonel Dillon without MacArthur taking action!
Dillon foolishly walked into the trap.

MacArthur was a soldier as well as a politician.

And as a pure soldier, how could Dillon be MacArthur's opponent?

However, it was too late for him to understand this now.

"Let's end it here." Redondo added another cigarette to the other party: "If you don't plead guilty now, they will find more so-called crimes. At that time, no one can I beg for mercy for you.”

Colonel Dillon smoked vigorously.One after another.

The whole house was filled with smoke.

Finally, he raised his head, and his eyes turned a little red:

"I, plead guilty!"

This was his last and only choice. He could only bow to his miserable fate.

……

On March 1945, 3, the Supreme Military Court convened in Manila Port.

Major Hendlip, on behalf of the prosecutor, prosecuted Colonel Dillon, the commander of the 19th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army.

The trial only lasted 20 minutes when Colonel Dillon's designated lawyer requested a temporary adjournment.

Later, in the judge's chambers, an agreement was reached between his client and the prosecutor.

Colonel Dillon pleaded guilty to all charges.

Major Hendlip agreed that Colonel Dillon could be released after serving three years in prison.

That afternoon, the judge made a judgment and found Colonel Dillon guilty, stripped of his military status, and sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

This is the best ending for Dillon.

As he left, he took a deep look at the people sitting in the gallery.

piece?

In this game, I am a chess piece, and the most insignificant one!
……

Thus the contest between Spabanios came to an end.

The loser, Colonel Dillon, and perhaps Patton, who was behind him.

winner?

There are too many winners.

MacArthur drove away the nails that his political opponents had placed around him.

The big conglomerates and smugglers have completely opened up Spabanios.

Major Hendlip became famous because of the case of Colonel Dillon and became a dazzling star among the US military lawyers.

Dorman, who betrayed Major Dillon, was hired as a special adviser to the Manila Police Department.

And that Manila detective Varnado, with the full support of the US military, replaced the deputy director who disliked him, and successfully ascended to the throne of deputy director of the Manila Police Department.

Captain Ajit, who was also a traitor, was able to stay in the army and continue to make his money.

Even an insignificant person like Sandy was well compensated.

Meng Shaoyuan?
Everything is designed by him.

There is only one purpose:
Open up Spabanos and let the gold arrive at the Port of Manila smoothly!

“I didn’t design everything.”

But in Meng Shaoyuan's mouth, he said this.

"You didn't design it? Who is that?" Li Zhifeng looked a little curious.

"MacArthur." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "After MacArthur stationed the 19th Cavalry Regiment in Spabanos, and after I learned about the relationship between MacArthur and Dillon, I knew that all this was actually planned by MacArthur. OK

I knew from the start that no matter what I did in Spabanos, the journey would be smooth. "

"Whoever becomes your enemy is really unlucky for eight lifetimes." Li Zhifeng sighed: "Everyone is a winner, there is only one loser!"

"Dillon was destined to be a loser from the moment he was sent to Spabanios."

After speaking, Meng Shaoyuan stood up and looked at the sky in the distance with a deep look on his face: "Meng Zhejun will leave tomorrow. You and I will go see him off together."

……

In April 1948, Colonel Dillon was released.

Major Hendlip kept his promise, and Dillon only served three of the four-and-a-half-year sentence.

When he walked out of prison, he breathed the air of freedom that he had not seen for a long time.

Two police cars were parked there.

Then, two police officers walked up to him:

"Dillon, you were arrested on suspicion of killing Bruno and Seer! You have the right to remain silent..."

……

Port of Manila.

"elder brother!"

Meng Zhejun's eyes turned red as soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan and Li Zhifeng appear.

After this farewell, I don’t know when we will see each other again.

"People from the Meng family don't cry."

Meng Shaoyuan wiped away his tears, took a bag from Li Zhifeng and handed it to Meng Zhejun:

"Everything you want is inside. After you follow the 'White Beach', you will go to Fujian first. At present, most of Fujian except Fuzhou is in our hands. It is very safe there. Even the Japanese army in Fuzhou will be completely destroyed. out.

The rest is up to you.However, I must warn you that the Chinese and Japanese armies will launch a large-scale battle around Xuefeng Mountain, and your hometown, Shaoyang, will become the main battlefield.To ensure safety, I suggest you stay in Chongqing for half a year and wait until the battle is over before returning to your hometown. "

"Brother, I listen to you." Meng Zhejun suddenly said: "Brother, if you were still in the military command, you would definitely not miss the battle at Xuefeng Mountain."

Meng Shaoyuan's expression was a little gloomy, but then he said with a smile: "Battle? I am a secret agent, how can I have the ability to fight head-on, where is Sarni?"

"In order to prevent anyone from seeing her, I have arranged for her to get on the boat first."

"You can also get on the boat." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the "White Beach" and said: "Brother, there are green mountains and green mountains, and the rivers and lakes are far away. Take care!"

"Take care, brother!"

Meng Zhejun hugged Meng Shaoyuan hard, and then hugged Li Zhifeng hard: "Old Li, I am a coward. I ran away first. My brother's safety will be left to you."

"Go away, you little bastard." Li Zhifeng smiled and kicked Meng Zhejun: "If you have a chance in the future, remember to come to the United States to see us!"

"Well, I promise, it will definitely happen."

Meng Zhejun turned around and left.

He can't turn back.

Because his tears couldn't stop falling.

Goodbye, brother!
Goodbye, Young Avengers!
Goodbye, all brothers!
But one day, we will be reunited, I promise this day will happen! (End of chapter)
