Chapter 213 The last straw

It turned out that when Gao Jiu was in the Yellow Crane Tower, he heard Li Kunpeng's name and immediately remembered something.

During the Battle of Wuhan, the National Government originally planned to defend Wuhan. Therefore, it can be said that the construction of Wuhan's fortifications was a big investment, mobilized a large number of engineers, mobilized a large number of migrant workers, and used a large number of combat preparation materials. According to statistics, it was equivalent to the fiscal revenue of Guizhou Province in one year at that time. It can be said that it invested a lot of money. A large number of reinforced concrete national defense projects were built in Wuhan and surrounding areas, building the entire Wuhan like an iron barrel.

However, Wuhan's city defense map was stolen by Japanese spies. When the Japanese attacked Wuhan City, they chose their weaknesses, bombarded with artillery fire, opened up a passage, and easily attacked Wuhan City, causing major casualties to the national army.

The leaker was a man named Li Kunpeng. His identity was a senior engineer of the National Defense Engineering Design Bureau of the Ninth War Zone. The one who pulled him into the water was his wife of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and this wife of the War of Resistance Against Japan was a Japanese female spy.

This Japanese female spy is Sakurako Mitsui, the apprentice of the famous Japanese female spy Natsuko.

This case was not solved at that time. Until the second half of 1941, because Li Kunpeng lost his value, Sakurako Mitsui seduced another government official and was arrested by the Military Control Commission for a small mistake.

These are recorded in the archives revealed by the Military Control Commission, and there are photos of her in it.

Since inspecting the site of the Ninth War Zone Command's office building, Gao Jiu did not think about this, because he was also misled by the Japanese female spy. At that time, the Japanese female spy appeared outside the window of the Operations Minister's office. Therefore, Gao Jiu also thought that the target of the Japanese female spy was intelligence on the combat plan formulated in the Ninth War Zone, and there was no relevant record in Gao Jiu's information.

He did not think about national defense projects at that time, so he did not find a breakthrough in this case.

When he met Li Kunpeng by chance at Huanghe Tower, he heard that he was a senior engineer of the National Defense Engineering Design Bureau of the Ninth War Zone. Then he remembered that when he was inspecting the site, the guard staff of the Guard Department of the Ninth War Zone Command introduced him to the schematic diagram of the organization around the Operations Minister, there was the National Defense Engineering Design Bureau on the first floor above the Office of the Operations Minister.

Thinking of this, he agreed to Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng's request to treat him.

At the dining table at the Hilton Hotel, Gao Jiu was about to come to the photo of Li Kunpeng's wife in the Anti-Japanese War, and compared it with the photos in the secret archives of the Military Control Commission. Although the photo in the archive was old and turned yellow, and the picture was not clear enough, the two of them looked basically similar.

Since Gao Jiu agreed to Zhou Mingshan's help, and it is also a basic obligation for a Chinese to eliminate Japanese spies. Therefore, Gao Jiu planned to help Zhou Mingshan's help. Eliminating this Japanese female spy was considered to make some contribution to the Wuhan War of Resistance.

Although the Wuhan city defense map that can be preserved may not be able to protect Wuhan, if the Japanese want to invade Wuhan, they will at least lose the lives of thousands of soldiers.

After returning to the Lin family, Gao Jiu was about to go to find Zhou Mingshan, but Zhou Mingshan called him and he invited Gao Jiu to go to the guesthouse.

Today is the sixth day after Wang Xilin, deputy director of the Counter-Espionage Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau, accepted the cracking of the Japanese spy case and solved the case within a deadline. Although Zhou Mingshan provided him with the intention of stealing the intelligence of the Ninth War Zone, Wang Xilin still had no idea, and he was at a loss until now.

Originally, Wang Xilin had no hope for Zhou Mingshan. He was just because he was too stressed and was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Seeing that tomorrow was the deadline, Wang Xilin felt that there was nothing he could do.

This morning, Wang Xilin had just arrived at the headquarters of the Military Command, and was called by the boss to ask about his progress. Wang Xilin told the truth that no progress has been made so far, and he asked the boss to give him a few more days of grace.

The boss said that if it was an internal matter of the Military Control Commission, he could give him a grace time, but the Supreme Military Commission did not give him a grace time, so Wang Xilin could not give him a grace time, and he could not give him a grace time, nor could he give him a grace time.

The military commander's boss is extremely strict. If Wang Xilin cannot solve this Japanese spy case on schedule, his future will definitely be over, and he may even be in prison.

Seeing that he was desperate, Wang Xilin remembered Zhou Mingshan. After all, Zhou Mingshan also provided him with a clue of Japanese female spy. Now Zhou Mingshan has become his last life-saving straw.

So he came to Zhou Mingshan, hoping to get some inspiration from him and give himself a last chance to fight.

Since going to inspect the scene with Gao Jiu, Zhou Mingshan has not seen Gao Jiu again. He once called the Lin family and found out that Gao Jiu was having fun with the beauty these days, and he felt a little unhappy.

Zhou Mingshan asked Gao Jiu for help, but in fact he didn't have much hope, because this matter had nothing to do with Gao Jiu. If it were Zhou Mingshan's own business, he believed that Gao Jiu would do his best to help. However, this matter had no direct relationship with Zhou Mingshan, and Gao Jiu would not be so enthusiastic. Besides, Gao Jiu was very unfamiliar with Wuhan after all, and it was purely a threat to let him solve the Japanese spy case in such a short time.

Seeing Wang Xilin's depressed expression, Zhou Mingshan wanted to comfort him, but Zhou Mingshan also knew that everything he said was nonsense, unless he could help him solve the Japanese spy case. After thinking about it, he decided to ask Gao Jiu to come over and talk, even if it could provide Wang Xilin with an idea.

At the beginning, Wang Xilin found Zhou Mingshan. Zhou Mingshan once said that he would ask a friend for help. When Wang Xilin saw that Gao Jiu was a very young lieutenant, he felt a little dissatisfied. He felt that Zhou Mingshan was still making such jokes at this time, which was really not a friend.

Wang Xilin simply greeted Gao Jiu for a few words, then stood up and said goodbye. He didn't want to waste time here anymore, so he decided to work harder and make a breakthrough on the last day.

Zhou Mingshan stopped him and said, "Xilin, my friend, don't think he is young, but has great magical powers. He analyzed the matter of Japanese female spy, so you might as well listen to his opinions."

When Wang Xilin heard this, he looked at Gao Jiu again and sat down again. He asked with a glimmer of hope: "Brother Xiao, what other clues can you provide?"

Gao Jiu said: "Director Wang, I think there is a problem with the direction of your military command to solve the problem."

Wang Xilin and his officers all had rich experience. They had analyzed all aspects that could be thought of. When he heard Gao Jiu say this, he said a little displeasedly: "What's the problem?"

Gao Jiu said: "I think your military command has been misled. The Japanese female spy appeared outside the window of the Operations Minister's office. Therefore, you all think that her goal is to steal the combat plan of the Ninth War Zone, but in fact their goal is not here."

Wang Xilin asked: "She ran to the Minister of Operations. If she didn't steal the combat plan?"

Gao Jiu said: "Director Wang, think about it, after the Battle of Xuzhou, the trends of the Japanese army are not yet clear yet. What kind of combat plan can the Ninth War Zone be formulated? How can the combat plan be formulated before the Japanese army's exact intelligence is grasped? What is the significance of such a combat plan? Even if the Ninth War Zone really formulates a combat plan, the combat plan in Wuhan has not yet begun. As the situation changes, the combat plan will continue to be adjusted. What is the significance of the Japanese army now obtaining this combat plan?"

When Wang Xilin heard this, he immediately woke up. He said, "Brother Xiao, you have made sense. Then what are the targets of Japanese spies?"

Gao Jiu said: "The Japanese army will come sooner or later to attack Wuhan. Their target is the design drawings of Wuhan's national defense engineering. You may have ignored it. On the upper floor of the Operations Minister's Office, the office of the National Defense Engineering Design Bureau. The reason why the Japanese female spy appeared on the window on the third floor was because he wanted to escape with the help of a flagpole.

The fourth floor window is located higher than the top of the flagpole. At this position, it is a bit inconvenient for her to jump to the flagpole. Standing on the windowsill on the third floor, she can just jump and hold the flagpole and slide down."

Wang Xilin's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh! Why didn't I think of it? What you analyzed really makes sense."

At this time, Wang Xilin completely put away his contempt for Gao Jiu, and bowed and said, "Brother Xiao, you are really a master. What should I do next? Please give me some advice."

Gao Jiu no longer took a turn. He said: "After the goal of the Japanese spy is determined, you should put the goal in the design bureau, and check it out, starting from them, isn't it much easier to break through?"

Wang Xilin just couldn't find a breakthrough. Now he found the direction of the breakthrough. There were many ways in his mind about the next thing. He said: "Brother Xiao, thank you for pointing out a clear path to me. I'll go back and make arrangements now."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave. Gao Jiu felt that the man was a little impatient and took things for granted. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Zhou Mingshan saw Gao Jiu's appearance and hurriedly stopped Wang Xilin. He said, "Xilin, I know you are so anxious because you only have one day left. But since you see my friend, why don't you ask him to continue to give you advice? Do you think you can solve this case in just one day?"

Wang Xilin is actually a very cautious and calm veteran agent. It’s just that because time is too tight, he is a little confused.

Hearing this, he sat down again and said to Gao Jiu: "Brother Xiao, I'm really embarrassed. I'm too impatient. Please forgive me. What else do you have to do? Let me give you some advice."

Gao Jiu simply said: "Li Kunpeng from the National Defense Engineering Design Bureau of the Ninth War Zone, his anti-Japanese war husband is very suspicious. I think she is definitely a Japanese female spy. You can concentrate on starting with her."

Wang Xilin was very happy, but he was still a little confused. He said, "Brother Xiao, what evidence do you have? Can it be really sure it is her?"

Gao Jiu smiled faintly and stopped talking.

Zhou Mingshan had long been accustomed to Gao Jiu's expression. He knew that Gao Jiu had already given a positive answer.

He hurriedly said to Wang Xilin: "Xilin, my friend is a god. Just do what he said, and there will be no mistake."

Seeing Zhou Mingshan so affirmed, Wang Xilin thought about how tight he was now, and he had no time to investigate comprehensively. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Xiao, thank you for your advice. If this case can be really solved, it would be like saving my life. I will repay this great kindness in the future." After that, he said goodbye and left.

After Wang Xilin left, Zhou Mingshan asked curiously: "Master Jiu, I see you are accompanied by beautiful women all day long and traveling around. When did you investigate this spy case?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Keep confidential, I can't tell you this trick, otherwise I will have no food to eat in the future, brother."

Zhou Mingshan knew he was joking, and since Gao Jiu didn't say it, he wouldn't ask anymore.
