Lost and Spy

To be honest, Jonathan's search is completely aimless and luck will play a large part in it.

After all, in such a large Nadel Street, it is too difficult to find someone who is likely to wear makeup.

But Jonathan firmly believes that in order to become an excellent agent, in addition to talent, diligence is also an essential part.

God always favors those who work hard.

With great difficulty he found a map of Nadel Street.

He then divided the map into a dozen sections.

He goes out before dawn every day and searches carefully area by area according to the map he divided.

When it gets dark, he will drag his tired body back to his rental house under the strange gaze of the wealthy and thrifty landlord.

Hard work will definitely pay off.

As long as Moroso is still here, he will definitely have a way to find him.

Jonathan is not afraid of hard work, nor is he afraid of strange looks from others.

It doesn’t matter what the process is.

All he wants is the final result.

……

"Jonathan searched all day but found nothing."

Shang Heng, who was responsible for monitoring Jonathan, reported a general situation as soon as he returned.

"Oh." Meng Shaoyuan didn't even raise his head: "What do you think?"

"I?"

Shang Heng was startled.

He thought there for a while and then said: "Nadel Street itself is very large. Since it was not damaged during the war, after the war, more and more people came to settle here. If you want to live here like this, It is indeed difficult to find the target among many people.”

Speaking of this, Shang Heng couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why are you so sure that Moroso would hide in Nadel Street, and even went to Swick Street, and then deliberately lived in front of Moroso? Did you leave any clues somewhere?”

That's right, those handwritings were intentionally left by Meng Shaoyuan.

Then, "happened" to be discovered by Jonathan.

"Brain!" Meng Shaoyuan clicked his brain: "Many things, if you think about it carefully, are actually not difficult to analyze. Moroso's earliest hiding place was in the Port of Manila, right under our noses Bottom, it's bold, but it's also true.

This is not the simple darkness under the lights that we usually talk about, but the Manila Port has a very large population and is very busy coming in and out every day. It is simply not possible to interrogate everyone. Moroso also chose a clever hiding place, working as a chef in a restaurant. He would be hard to spot if he wanted to. However, he still lacks some experience. "

"Experience?" Shang Heng didn't quite understand.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Escape also requires experience, and theory cannot be fully used in practice. Moroso chose his hiding place very cleverly, but then he made a mistake because of his lack of experience. He put his The specialty is used very well.

He cooks well and is naturally very popular in the restaurant. Naturally, there are more people who want to meet a chef who can make such outstanding dishes. In this way, Moroso has more opportunities to be exposed. It is definitely not a good thing for a person who intends to lurk for a long time to make full use of his own strengths.

But by the time Moroso discovered this, it was already too late. I wanted to catch him at that time, which was easy, but a Jonathan appeared and I decided not to move him for the time being. Sure enough, he was exposed in front of Jonathan again. Do you know why Moroso did this? "

Shang Heng shook his head.

Meng Shaoyuan continued: "When he was lurking next to MacArthur, Moroso conquered the arrogant MacArthur with his cooking skills. This is a proud thing for anyone. Although he would not say it on the surface, deep down in his heart Chu will always regard this as his own glory.

Having benefited greatly from his cooking skills, he naturally wanted to make the most of his craft. This is people's habitual thinking, but it is also something that people on the run must absolutely avoid. I don't know how many people on the run have exposed themselves because of their own specialties. "

Shang Heng listened very carefully, for fear of missing anything.

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at him and said: "Moroso will obviously learn a lesson from his second escape. How to survive in a city destroyed by war is very particular. Most of it was destroyed, or almost completely. Destroyed places are not suitable for survival.

There is a lack of necessary living resources, and there are too many refugees struggling on the verge of death. A person who is incompatible with these refugees suddenly appears, and no one knows what huge danger they will encounter in the next minute. Moroso knew this very well, and there was no way he would risk his death at the hands of God knows which refugee.

In the whole of Manila, there are only three places suitable for him to hide. He has already chosen the first one, Manila Port. If he had not made a mistake, he could actually continue to hide it.

The second one, centered on Malacañang Palace, was not damaged during the war, and the reconstruction work around it was also the fastest. However, that is the political center of Manila, and supervision will be stricter, and Moroso will not take risks.

At that time, I also considered from Moroso’s perspective where his next stop would be. Then I noticed Nadel Street. Like Malacañang Palace, this place was rarely damaged in real life. It was also the most vibrant commercial street in Manila after the war.

At the same time, a large number of US troops have chosen to rent houses and keep lovers there. The appearance of any strange face will definitely not cause surprise. Similarly, we basically did not arrange manned patrols there. After all, we are all US troops, so it would be a bit embarrassing to see them. Hearing this, Shang Heng couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Brother, why do you think that Moroso is likely to be hiding on Swick Street?" "

Meng Shaoyuan pointed to his head again: "I have inspected Nadel Street. This street is very big, but it is mainly concentrated in a few directions. First, it is the central street, which has the largest flow of people and the most shops.

If people nearby want to buy daily necessities, they will definitely go to Central Street. Unlike being able to hide in the back kitchen of a restaurant at the Port of Manila, this increased Moroso's chances of exposure. After all, Moroso has now become a frightened bird. With the previous lessons, he will most likely not choose the career of chef again.

Moreover, there is another important reason. Once his captors find Nadel Street, they will also start from Central Street. Moroso will not take such a risk, so Central Street can be temporarily excluded. .

There are still a few streets with few people, which are not places to hide. Then, I selected two streets, one was Leian Street and the other was Swick Street. Both of these two items meet the basic requirements for hiding. But in comparison, there are more Chinese people in Leian Street, which is not ideal.

However, given Moroso's character, he might not do the opposite. However, I finally set my target on Naswick Street. Do you know why? "

He didn't need Shang Heng to answer: "Because I went to Swick Street during my inspection. Who am I? The supreme commander of the US military in Manila, the Supreme Emperor. The Manila people who met me either hated me or were hostile to me. I flatter.

However, on Swick Street, it was very strange. Everyone was extremely indifferent. When they saw me coming with the officials from the brigade, everyone turned a blind eye. Even when I stopped people on the road, they always used various excuses to avoid talking to me.

They don't care about other things, they only care about how they are doing. The life and death of others has nothing to do with them. So, you say, is there any better hiding place than this? "

Hearing this, Shang Heng completely understood: "Brother, you can think of so much just sitting here?"

"There are always certain clues that can be captured in people's thinking." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If you want to find a person, you must first understand his psychology, his preferences, and analyze the problem from his standpoint. What is the surrounding environment? , what impact does it have on people?”

Meng Shaoyuan said a lot, but Shang Heng was afraid that he would miss a word.

By Meng Shaoyuan's side, Shang Heng learned a lot, and he was also the fastest in comprehension.

Meng Shaoyuan asked a question at this time: "You said, instead of analyzing a person in such a complicated way, why don't I just send someone to follow and monitor Moroso?"

"Because it would be exposed." Shang Heng said without hesitation: "Moroso is an experienced agent. Since he has been able to successfully lurk beside MacArthur for so long, his sense of danger is more sensitive than anyone else. No matter how covert the surveillance is, there will always be clues that will be exposed."

Meng Shaoyuan was very satisfied with his answer: "After a while, I will withdraw you to the United States. The Strategic Intelligence Service will inevitably be reorganized with the end of the war. By then, you will enter the new intelligence organization in the United States to assist Tian Qi Bar."

"Brother." Shang Heng hesitated: "I don't want to be an agent anymore."

"Oh?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Then what do you want to do?"

Meng Shaoyuan has never forced others to make difficult choices regarding the future of his subordinates.

For example, Meng Zhejun before.

Since Meng Zhejun wants to return to China, let him go.

Everyone has their own goals in life, why must they insist on staying?

"I, I want to be a policeman." Shang Heng looked a little shy: "At that time, I was still a child, and a murder occurred near my home. As you know, most of the policemen at that time were corrupt and just wanted to I wanted to make money, but that time I saw a different policeman.

I still remember that person, his name was Bi Saifeng. It sounded like a woman’s name, but it was just a bad old man. He has been a policeman since the Beiyang Government. This man wandered around the murder scene for a few times, and soon found a lot of clues, and the murderer was caught that afternoon. I immediately admired him very much.

I am from Anhui. Although I am young, I remember it very clearly. That year, the Anhui Provincial Capital Police Department was renamed the AQ City Public Security Bureau, and the official titles of police sergeant and sergeant were abolished. Bi Saifeng had been working around for so many years, and finally got a job as an alternate police officer, and he was about to be promoted to a police officer. However, when he was abolished, his alternate police officer was gone, and he directly became a member of the security team of the North Public Security Bureau. The squadron leader was demoted two levels in one go.

My dad was the battalion commander at the time, and I was also a good friend with him. I invited him to drink that day, and I listened quietly from the side. I remember that halfway through the drink, my dad wanted to help him fight the injustice, but Bi Saifeng stopped him. He said, I don’t have any other skills, I just know how to solve crimes, I don’t handle interpersonal relationships well, and I’m not as good as other people, so my boss always looks down on me. This time, Deputy Director Qin wanted to find a position for one of his relatives, so he transferred me to the security team.

My dad asked him, Lao Bi, you are fifty and have solved so many cases, are you willing to do it? Bi Saifeng told my dad, "Xiao Shang, Battalion Commander Shang, if you are always suppressed by your superiors, but if there is a war, will you be a coward?" My dad shook his head and told him that he was a soldier, a soldier, and he should fight to the end for his country!
Bi Saifeng smiled and said, you are a soldier and you have your responsibilities. I am a police officer, and my duty is to maintain local security, so no matter how my boss suppresses me, I still have to do my job well. No one is solving the case anymore, and they are all thinking about flattering others, so how can the people survive? In this world, although conscientious police officers suffer, the people still need people like us. Xiao Shang, do you think this is the truth? "

He looked at Meng Shaoyuan: "Brother, since you saved me, I have always admired you. But the one I admire most in my heart is Bi Saifeng. I swear that in the future, I will be like Bi Saifeng The police!"

He spoke frankly and without any disguise.

This is his dream since childhood.

Meng Shaoyuan was also fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but ask: "Where is this person named Bi Saifeng later?"

"Dead." Shang Heng's expression dimmed: "During the Wuhan Defense War, my father was gone, and Bi Saifeng was also dead. I remember that the night before the expedition, he and his father had another drink, and he said, I’m old and I’m fighting against little Japan, let us old guys go first.”

"A good man, a good man." Meng Shaoyuan's blood surged for a moment: "This is a real good man. It's a pity that I can't know him. Okay, okay, since you want to be a policeman, I will arrange for you to be a policeman."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, your brother and I have limited abilities, so I can only arrange for you to be a policeman in the United States and help Americans solve crimes."

"Brother, do you still remember what you told us about our mission?" Shang Heng said with a smile: "Although we are in the United States, we can always do something for the country. Even if we cannot help the country for the time being, the United States still has There are many Chinese people. I think that as a future American police officer, I will always be able to do things for the Chinese people!"

"You people are the greatest pride of my life." Meng Shaoyuan said with a bit of pride in his voice: "Everyone has his own ambitions, but I must help you realize your ambition. Shang Heng, do your best to realize it. Dream!"
