Lost and Spy

Chapter 658 Which Possibility
To Meng Shaoyuan's disappointment, Xi Zhifu knew nothing about the assassination case of Jichuan Wumen.

Indeed, very few Chinese people know about the important matter of receiving Yoshikawa Gomon at the New Asia Hotel.

Or, even if Xi Zhifu knew something, with their organizational discipline, they wouldn't tell a big spy chief of the military command.

"Mr. Xi."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "We successfully planned to kill the five gates of Yoshikawa, but this also put our comrades in danger of being exposed. I hope to get as much information as possible, such as what the Japanese have discovered so far. This can protect our people, I hope you can understand, Mr. Xi."

Xi Zhifu frowned and thought for a while:
"Is Dafang Xinwen one of your people?"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

The assassination of Yoshikawa Gomon was regarded as a great shame by the Japanese, and the specific details of the assassination have been kept strictly confidential.

It is impossible for a "traitor" like Xi Zhifu to know the real situation.

Especially for such a "traitor" as Dafang Xinwen, the Japanese regard it as a disgrace among disgraces.

Meng Shaoyuan remained calm: "How do you know?"

"It's also a coincidence." Xi Zhifu said unhurriedly: "On the day before Yoshikawa Wumon was assassinated, around noon, around 01:30, I have a treat in a few days, so I want to go to the head chef to see if I can get some more A good dish.

I couldn't find the head chef, and I wondered if he had taken a nap in the private room, so I went there to look for him, but suddenly I saw Da Fang Xinwen walking out of the private room alone, and looked around is there anybody.

The position I was standing at that time made it difficult to be seen. My special status made me wary of everything, so I didn't show up.

Later, I didn’t find the head chef, so I went downstairs, and happened to meet Hizaki Inoue who went to the first floor, and saw Dafang Xinwen, and asked him where he was just now, and Dafang Xinwen said he just came back from outside.

At that time, I felt strange, why did he say he came back from outside when he was clearly in the private room of the restaurant?I didn't think about it, until after Yoshikawa Wumen was assassinated, I realized that there must be something wrong with Dafang Xinwen..."

The day before Yoshikawa Gomon was assassinated?
It is very likely that Dafang Xinwen went to the private room to practice how to assassinate.

So, this illustrates a problem:
Dafang Xinwen knew that Yoshikawa Wumen was coming one day in advance, and he even knew exactly which private room to eat in.

It is impossible to know this at his level.

According to the information fed back by Tian Qi, where Yoshikawa Wumen will go is a temporary decision.

In fact, it is nonsense at all.

People with the identity of Yoshikawa Wumen have already planned to go out. The Japanese told Tian Qi and others that they were just testing them.

However, there are only a very small number of people who can know where Yoshikawa's five families are going, where to visit, and where to eat, and they must be important people.

Mister Mysterious is probably one of them.

Then the problem comes again.

How did a person who is at least a middle-level or even a high-level figure among Japanese people know the existence of Agent No. [-]?

Who tipped him off?
unless……

The countless fragments in Meng Shaoyuan's mind slowly began to piece together.

"Dafang Xinwen is one of our people."

Meng Shaoyuan admitted "frankly".

"The Japanese invaded our country and killed our people. They were extremely vicious." Xi Zhifu said with emotion: "But not every Japanese is ugly. There are bad people and good people, just like in China, there are martyrs who sacrificed their lives for righteousness. , There are also shameless traitors. We also have contacts with Japanese anti-war people, especially the Nikko (Communist) side.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "Boss Meng, I think there is a possibility of cooperation between us."

"Yes Yes."

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly said: "It is definitely possible to cooperate. We are all Chinese in the face of national crisis. Mr. Xi has worked hard all the way, and I will send someone to send you safely to your comrades."

"Boss Meng, we have recorded everything you have done for us."

Xi Zhifu stood up and shook hands with Meng Shaoyuan: "I think we will meet again in the future."

Why are these words?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Assistant Wu, you are in charge of seeing off Mr. Xi."

"Ok."

"Then goodbye, Director Meng."

"Goodbye."

……

After seeing off Xi Zhifu, when Wu Jingyi returned to the office, she found Meng Shaoyuan playing with a pen.

He didn't lift his head: "Sent away?"

"Send away."

"Do you know about bugs?"

"Eavesdropper?"

Wu Jingyi was stunned: "I only know about monitors, which are available in telecommunications, and are responsible for telephone monitoring. There is also one that is transmitted through a microphone, and the conversation in the interrogation room can be heard in other rooms."

"It's not this kind of bug." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Sooner or later, a new bug will appear. It's so small that it can be hidden anywhere, for example, you can hide one in a pen."

Wu Jingyi was dubious: "Can it be hidden in the pen? You think there is something wrong with this pen?"

"No, this pen is fine. It will take at least many years before the bugs I mentioned appear. By then, the War of Resistance will be over long ago."

Meng Shaoyuan put down his pen.

The advanced monitoring equipment he was talking about would not be invented by Soviet physicist Leon Letman until the end of World War II:

Changed the course of espionage history, the famous "Golden Lip" monitor!

And it was not until the Cold War that it was really used in espionage warfare.

Wu Jingyi wasn't interested in these new things that Young Master Meng said: "Director Meng, did you save Xi Zhifu?"

"really not."

"Really?"

"I almost believe that I saved it." Meng Shaoyuan could only smile bitterly: "I won't hide it from you, that Guo Junian who I gave him medicine and money just came to me and asked me to rescue Xi Zhifu. I'm not looking You negotiate?
You said, we are having a headache here, but Xi Zhifu was rescued there.Even if I say in front of Guo Junian that it has nothing to do with me, people won't believe me.

There are four possibilities, one is coincidence, which is the most likely.One is the advanced bug I mentioned, but this thing doesn't exist at all.The third possibility is that someone tipped off the news. "

Having said that, he was silent for a moment and then said: "The last possibility, everything is in Mr. Mystery's calculations, he is proceeding his actions methodically in his own way."

"If Mr. Mystery really exists, then this person is probably on par with you." Wu Jingyi also said in a deep thought?

"Equal to me?"

Meng Shaoyuan became humble in a rare way: "He is much better than me."

"It's rare for you to be so humble after knowing you."

"I'm serious this time."

There was silence in the office.

Meng Shaoyuan said after a while: "Help me publish an advertisement in the newspaper."

This advertisement is for a spy to find ways to meet him.

Miao Chengfang!
