Lost and Spy

Chapter 3392 Secret Investigation

This was the first time Meng Shaoyuan had heard of the "Man of Medan" incident.

He never thought that there was such a weird thing.

Well, it's really possible that I'm just making it up.

After all, this has happened more than once in history.

In the end, stories that seemed incredibly true turned out to be fabrications.

What about the Man of Medan?

Perhaps so too.

"I never believed there was such a ridiculous thing." Levi seemed to see Meng Shaoyuan's thoughts: "This goes against scientific common sense and is unexplainable from a normal perspective. However, in this world, there are There are too many strange phenomena that cannot be explained by science. For example, why people and animals yawn."

"It's too easy because..."

Meng Shaoyuan was suddenly speechless.

Yes, why do people and animals yawn?

Is there a reasonable and scientific explanation?

Can this reason really be explained clearly?

People yawn from birth until the end of life.

In addition to humans, many animals also yawn.

It can be said that yawning is an action that people often do every day, but strangely, it can spread among people. When you see someone else yawning, the network in your brain responsible for empathy and social ability is blocked. Activate, and you'll also yawn.

Scientists are still unable to truly explain why humans and animals yawn. Some scientists believe that yawning allows people to get the best rest physically and psychologically, and has an important physiological protective effect on the human body.

Some scientists also believe that yawning is a manifestation of brain hypoxia. Through the deep breathing exercise of yawning, the human body increases oxygen in the blood and discharges more carbon dioxide, thereby making people more energetic.

But the real reason cannot be given a convincing scientific explanation so far.

"Look, such a small problem has stumped our all-powerful Colonel Charles." Levi said with a smile: "So, many things on the 'Man of Medan' cannot be used." Let science explain it."

"No, it's not the same." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Science cannot explain why people and animals yawn perfectly, because it requires a lot of resources to study it, but the results obtained have nothing to do with the progress of human society. Meaning. So, it's not necessary to find the answer.

But I always believe that anything that seems weird can always find the ultimate answer. For example, the Man of Medan may look weird, but I think that assuming it is not fabricated, the truth can always be discovered.

However, this happened a few years ago. I couldn't see it with my own eyes and go to the Man of Medan to check it in person. Otherwise, maybe there wouldn't be so much controversy now about what happened on the Man of Medan. The truth has long been revealed. "

"Okay, I can't argue with you." Levi immediately straightened his expression: "I just said, I used to not believe this kind of thing at all, but now, I have to believe it. Just yesterday, the Navy sent a message He received a top-secret telegram. Ah, Charles, don’t worry about it. Maybe you are thinking, why is this telegram not sent to you? But I can completely explain it.

Commodore Tomil of the Navy is currently in charge of maritime security management in this area, and he is a good friend of mine. He encountered an incident that puzzled him, but he didn't want the public to know about it, so he asked me for help to see if I could find talents in this field to help him solve this confusion. "

What incident made it so mysterious and secret?

To be honest, Meng Shaoyuan's curiosity was completely aroused.

"When I received his request, I immediately thought of you, Colonel Charles. You solved the serial murder case and the Manila Invisible Man case perfectly. Who else is more suitable than you?"

Levi's tone was not to please, but was talking about something very serious: "A small ship in the Tomele naval formation, the 'Southern Princess' commanded by Major Barnley, recently While on patrol, I received an emergency telegram for help, which was also sent in Morse code.

After the telegram was deciphered, it was found that it was sent by a cargo ship named "Biazijian". Major Barnley quickly determined the location of the "Crossover" and set out to rescue..."

Having said this, Levi stopped talking and looked at Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately understood: "Could it be that they discovered the same tragedy as the Man of Medan on the 'Crossing the Waves'?"

Levi nodded: "Yes, almost exactly the same. Major Barnley and his crew were frightened and immediately reported the matter to Brigadier General Tomele. Coincidentally, Brigadier General Tomele also happened to be Knowing the story of the Man of Medan. When the accident happened again, you can fully imagine the mood of the Commodore at that time.

It must never be the same as in 1940. At present, the war in the Philippines is far from over. A hasty announcement will only make people in Manila panic. Therefore, the Commodore immediately sealed off the scene and ordered all crew members on the Southern Princess not to leave the ship. At the same time, he strictly controlled the dissemination of the news.

It is precisely because of the brigadier general's prompt decision that, except for a small number of people on the "Breaking Through the Troubles", there has been no leakage for the time being. However, this matter cannot be kept secret forever. The longer it is delayed, the easier it will be for more people to know, which will cause public panic. "

Meng Shaoyuan fully agrees with this point.

Once this news is leaked, combined with the "Man of Medan" incident a few years ago, it will be used by people with ulterior motives and spread widely, which will quickly lead to catastrophic results.

"But, what does this have to do with you, me, and Manila?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with some confusion.

“Because, this happened near the Port of Dulapura Bay in the Port of Manila.”

Now, it makes sense.

Manila is the largest port in Southeast Asia, with many large and small ports. Some of them are military controlled areas and are not managed by Manila.

Such as Dulapura Port.

In these military-controlled ports, the U.S. military often requisitions some cargo ships, so the "Beijing" is one of them.

"This doesn't make sense." Meng Shaoyuan frowned and said, "The 'Bleeding Thorns' must have been requisitioned by the US military. If so, why did she suddenly send out a distress signal, and also sent it in Morse code?

In fact, when you told me about the Man of Medan just now, I also noticed this problem. A cargo ship and merchant ship was in distress at sea. The top priority was to find foreign aid to help it. Why did it have to send Morse code and wait for the other party to crack it? , thus delaying the rescue time? "

He thought there for a while: "Unless there is only one explanation, there are some shady secrets on the 'Man of Medan' and the 'Bridge of Thorns'. But as soon as this explanation came out, I couldn't think of anything else. Got it.

Captain Smith on the Silver Star once boarded the Man of Medan for inspection, but neither the captain nor his crew discovered any secrets that shocked the public, only horrific deaths. Why? "

"Why? I can't explain it to you." Levi shrugged: "I think if anyone can solve this mystery, I think it's probably only you."

"Me?" Meng Shaoyuan replied without thinking: "What does this have to do with me? This incident happened in Dulapura Port, which is a military controlled area and is not within the scope of my management. It costs a dime to me. It doesn't matter.

Besides, I think that whether it is the Man of Medan or the Overlord, there must be important secrets hidden on it. Levi, you know, the bigger the secret, the more dangerous it is. It may put me in a situation that I can't extricate myself from. I don't want to get involved in these troubles. "

Levi nodded and said: "Charles, I completely understand your concerns. However, Brigadier General Tomele is my good friend. Since he has made a request to me, I cannot ignore it. Charles, I am not not to ask, but to ask for your assistance.

As for your concerns, yes, I admit you have your thoughts. There must be hidden secrets hidden in the two ships. But you can put this worry aside. I and the entire US government are your backers. No matter what secrets you reveal, we will protect you without hesitation. "

"Look, how beautiful these words are." Meng Shaoyuan's words were full of irony: "When you need help from others, you will always make all kinds of promises, but when the person who helps you is in trouble, what will you do? None of it happened.

Levi, I have received help from many people in my career, and I have also been betrayed by many people. Especially when I trusted you with my entire back, it turned out that the person who shot me in the back was the person I trusted the most. "

"Charles, I can completely understand your caution." Levi said solemnly: "I have also considered your concerns. Therefore, after receiving Brigadier General Tomele's request for help, I immediately asked President Truman made a report.

Your Excellency the President also responded to me as soon as possible and immediately investigated this case. No matter what kind of resistance you encounter, Your Excellency the President, the US government, and I will be your strongest support!

Charles, I still beg for your help. The Philippine general election is getting closer and closer. The incident of the "Crashing the Wind" cannot be concealed forever. We cannot let the people fall into panic. I will owe you a favor, and I will repay this favor to you at the most appropriate time. "

"I don't know if I should trust a politician." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "But I am willing to believe my friend. I accept your request, but I hope you can remember that I am not helping a politician, but It’s helping my friends.”

Levi immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, as if only Meng Shaoyuan agreed to help and all the unsolved cases could be solved immediately: "Believe me, Charles, this friend of yours will not let you down."

"However, I have a few conditions."

"can."

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said: "Until the case is solved, both the 'Southern Princess' and the 'Champions' must remain in place, and nothing on the ship can be changed, including the crew of the 'Southern Princess'. And the corpses on board the 'Breaking Bad'."

"No problem." Levi smiled bitterly: "Is it just the weather in the Philippines? I'm afraid the smell on board the 'Crossing the Waves' isn't very pleasant."

"Yeah, the smell makes people put off." Meng Shaoyuan felt helpless: "I must have absolute investigative powers. I can investigate and interrogate anyone I think is suspicious, including U.S. Navy officers."

This time, Levi hesitated: "Your Excellency and I have also thought about this, so we decided to set up a special secret investigation team, composed of you and me, and we have absolute rights.

But considering that the war is still going on, and the U.S. Navy has a glorious tradition and pride, can the investigation and interrogation be controlled within a certain range, or can some more tactful methods be adopted? "

"Look, before I even started the investigation, a headache has already appeared for me." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "Originally, this case had too many hidden dangers, and now I have to worry about it in many ways. It's hard for me to imagine As the investigation progresses, something unexpected will happen.”

"I'm sorry, Charles." Levi sighed: "As we all know, the Japanese Navy and Army have irreconcilable conflicts. In fact, this phenomenon exists in all countries, and the United States is no exception. Although the U.S. Navy and Army There are also conflicts, but they are not so intense.

The establishment of this secret investigation team still has an impact on the Navy. At such an emergency moment, Charles still tries to avoid a bad situation. But I firmly believe you can find a way. "

"I am a human, not a god." Meng Shaoyuan looked helpless: "Okay, we will set off the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow?" Levi was startled: "Charles, I have reminded you that this weather will be detrimental to us every day it is delayed."

"Because I have some things that I have to deal with tomorrow." Meng Shaoyuan said without doubt: "Weather? We can't control it. Evidence? There will always be there, even if it is deliberately destroyed, but when it is destroyed, it will also be there. Leave evidence behind.

I never believe that there is any perfect crime in this world. As long as we are patient and look for it, we can always find it. Levi, since I promised you, I will go all out to do it. "

"Okay, okay, I don't know who else I can rely on except you." Levi compromised: "I will explain the situation to Brigadier General Tomele first, and hope to get his full cooperation.

Commodore Tomile may be more anxious than us now. Such a terrible thing has happened to his fleet, but he is still thinking about how to hide it. God, to be honest, I don’t know how poor him has been suffering these past few days! "(End of chapter)
