The secret war is silent

The room was dark, the curtains were obviously drawn and the windows were closed, obviously preventing people from seeing what was going on inside the house from the outside.

Wearing a mask will make that unpleasant corpse odor feel better.

Pull back the curtains and open the windows.

Let the room be lit up and the air circulate, otherwise working in this sealed environment would be really challenging.

Director Zhou, ask your people to be careful and not to touch anything in the house. Luo Yao ordered.

Understood. Director Zhou nodded. He knew that Luo Yao was famous, especially within the military, and that many major espionage cases were solved under his leadership or participation.

First of all, the body must not be moved until the forensic doctor comes, and then the scene will be photographed and relevant evidence, fingerprints, food residues, etc. will be collected.

The most important thing is to judge the state of the deceased before she died, what she was doing based on the scene, and combined with the autopsy to accurately determine the cause of death.

The medical examiner soon entered the scene.

Director, considering the degree of decomposition of the body and the temperature in the past two days, we make a preliminary judgment that the deceased died about two days ago. The forensic doctor made a preliminary judgment after inspecting the body on site.

What's the cause of death?

The corners of the eyes, mouth and nose were bleeding, the lips were blue, the lower limbs were slightly swollen, and there was obvious ascites in the abdomen. It should be poisoning. The forensic doctor said, But the specific kind of poison will not be known until we go back for a poison test.

Take the body back. Do an autopsy first to determine what kind of poison was poisoned. You are responsible for investigating this case. You can do whatever you are told. Don't worry about anything else. Luo Yao ordered.

Understood. How could Director Zhou not understand that he didn't have to take care of the murder cases under his charge? It was obvious that the case was important and he couldn't get involved. He just had to obey and do what he was told. He didn't need to ask so many questions, and he didn't need to know so much.

He still doesn't understand the philosophy of survival in officialdom after all these years?

Let me explain to the boss. He said that when the boy was sweeping the floor, he smelled the smell of corpses in the room. Then he called the police and found the corpse. This is the same caliber used to expose the body to the outside world. No leaks are allowed. Anyone who dares to leak any leaks will be severely punished!

Yes, yes, I will explain it right away.

Deputy Director Luo, according to the forensic inference, if the deceased is really Wang Youmei and the time of death was two days ago, then Wang Youmei did not go back after asking for leave. So who is the Wang Youmei who went back?

The weather is hot, and this room is completely sealed. When you came in, you only noticed the smell of the corpse, but did not pay attention to the temperature in the room. The corpse may not have been dead for two days, or even shorter.

That means Wang Youmei may come back after going back?

Did you find the shoes?

Shoes? Zhang Xiaozheng was stunned, What shoes?

If I were to frame the murder, I would definitely put the pair of shoes I wore from Huangshan Mansion to Miss Kong Er's car and back all the way in the house, so that the evidence would be completely closed, Luo Yao said.

Yeah, if it's Wang Youmei, where did her shoes go?

It is not ruled out that she threw it away halfway and no one could track her, or that she was just an executor and someone had already come to pick up the goods. There are so many people in this place, and it is indeed hidden enough to kill people and silence them afterwards. , cut out all the clues, this is a headless case. Luo Yao sighed and said, Awesome!

Then what should we do now? If this clue is broken again, we will only have a little more than a day left. Zhang Xiaozheng said.

First identify the body, then determine the cause of death. If it was poisoning, what kind of poison was poisoned, and then investigate who the deceased last saw in Hongbin Tower and when. Luo Yao said.

Just now, the forensic examiner picked up the deceased's head and found a mole as big as a grain of rice under her left ear. Can that confirm that she is the Wang Youmei who had an affair with Yan Chunhe?

It's better to let Yan Chun and the people who live with Wang Youmei confirm it. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Luo Yaodao said, What we are dealing with is a special murder case, not an ordinary criminal case. We have to consider all possibilities. Take it all into consideration.”

Deputy Director Luo is said to be as cunning as a fox, but in my opinion, you are more cautious than anyone else, Zhang Xiaozheng said.

This is related to national interests. If any spy is let go, the consequences and damage will be irreparable. I cannot help but be cautious, Luo Yao said.

You're right. Inadvertently, Zhang Xiaozheng used honorifics when speaking, and he may not have even noticed this.

He has placed Luo Yao, a peer of his age, at a higher level than him.

There's nothing interesting to see at the scene, let's go back. Luo Yao said, In the evening, a few of us will meet and hold a case analysis meeting. We will go through all the clues we have now and brainstorm. Handling a case requires collective wisdom. I am the only one. Human brains are limited.”

Okay, then I'll make the arrangements. Zhang Xiaozheng was sent to assist Luo Yao in handling the case, and he also had great power.

As long as it helps Luo Yao clear the obstacles in Huangshan Mansion, you must know that the valet in front of the old man does not look at anyone's face. Luo Yao is an outsider and is not his immediate boss, so he can't control some people at all. Zhang Xiaozheng is the adjutant. If you deeply trust the old man, his words will be different.

Submit the autopsy report as soon as possible. I want to see it. After the autopsy, the body is frozen. At the same time, the forensic doctor conducts a test to test the decomposition of the body. Under the same environment, how long does it take to reach the level of decomposition we see the body?

Then what should we do? Is it possible to find someone from just now...

Stupid, just kill a pig, cut a piece of pork and observe it. Although pigs and humans are not exactly the same, it can at least explain some problems. Luo Yao said.

Look at my brain, I'm really stupid. Zhang Xiaozheng said with a slap on his forehead.

We also need to consider that the body should have passed through the night, and the temperature is still slightly lower at night. This will affect the speed of the body's decomposition...

It was already sunset when we returned to Huangshan Mansion.

Something like this happened in Yunxiu Tower, and there was a feeling of chaos and chaos. Not only fixed sentries were added, but also the patrol team and frequency were increased.

This time it was just stealing files, what if it was an assassination?

The old man obviously won't live in Huangshan Mansion these days. As for whether he will live there, that's not Luo Yao's concern.

But Madam still lives in Yunxiu Tower.

After Luo Yao came back, his wife called someone over and asked him about the progress of the case. Luo Yao naturally reported what he could.

Of course, there must be some progress in the case, but you can’t let Madam think you are too incompetent.

When Madam heard that the person who stole confidential documents might be a senior cleaner in Yunxiu Tower, her expression changed.

Most of the valets at Huangshan Mansion were brought from Jinling, and most of them had worked for at least three years. They could not enter Yunxiu Tower without an inspection.

If there is a problem with one person here, it will be a big problem, related to his and the old man's safety.

Immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the chamberlains and guards who could enter Yunxiu Tower to eliminate related hidden dangers.

There was still one day left to solve the case, so his wife did not leave him to talk much. She gave him a few words of encouragement and asked someone to send some watermelon to the task force to cool down the heat and quench thirst.

After dinner and a short rest, Luo Yao called Yang Zhaojie, Hu Yingjie and Zhang Xiaozheng to his temporary office. Including Cai Xiaochun, there were five people in total.

Have a meeting to analyze the case.

Luo Yao first wrote a time on the blackboard, between 12:30 and 1:30 pm on August 13, which was the time when the top-secret documents in the secret room were stolen.

In other words, it took the suspect Wang Youmei less than an hour to complete the process from entering the secret room to opening the safe door to steal top-secret documents.

The door to the secret room is not difficult. Anyone who knows how to unlock can open it if given some time. It is rare that it is the lock of the safe inside.

There are two keys and a combination lock. If you don’t have a key and don’t know the password, it will take time to open it and you will need professional tools.

No matter how good a locksmith is, it still takes time to open a safe, a conservative estimate of more than twenty minutes.

The thief has never entered the secret room. It is impossible for her to know that the top-secret documents are hidden in the safe. The first thing she should look for is the documents on the file shelf...

But it seems that this Wang Youmei did not mess up the file shelf, but Zhou Yan deliberately messed up the files on the file shelf because he was afraid of taking responsibility.

It was impossible for Wang Youmei to do this. She should not have touched the files on the shelf and went straight to the safe. Otherwise, she would not have enough time.

Once suspicion arose, she had no chance of leaving with the stolen top-secret documents.

He was very aware of the inspection rules for cleaning the corridors of secret rooms. They were very strict when entering and no cleaning-related items were allowed.

But it was much easier when she came out. After all, she only cleaned the corridors and mopped the floor, and she had no chance to enter the secret room...

Otherwise, how could she get the files out?

This is taking advantage of the loopholes in Yunxiu Tower that are not strictly guarded...

The air raid siren suddenly sounded at noon that day, which created an opportunity for Wang Youmei, because in the panic, no one would notice the whereabouts of a cleaner, and after Wang Youmei completed the task, she easily removed the documents from Yunxiu Tower He was brought out and left calmly. Finally, he took Miss Kong Er's car to leave the Huangshan Mansion Military Restricted Area.

All this was designed perfectly, but I don't know if the air strike was also part of this theft operation.

Zhou Yan returned to his post in the secret room after lunch. He soon felt sleepy, and then fell asleep on the table. Does anyone think there is anything suspicious?

I have done experiments. If a person falls asleep in a secret room, he cannot hear the air raid siren. However, there is an alarm bell inside. Unless someone forgets to remind Zhou Yan in the secret room that day, he will not be unable to hear it. .”

Could Zhou Yan be an accomplice? Yang Zhaojie asked, Zhou Yan opened the door and let Wang Youmei in. Then Wang Youmei took action, opened the safe and took away the top-secret documents. Then Zhou Yan deliberately messed up the file shelf. Extending the time it took to discover the theft of top-secret documents to midnight, and adding that he went to have an affair with Xiaolian in the middle of the night, we will inevitably judge the time of theft to be during the period when he was away from work without permission and having an affair?

It's not impossible, but what is Zhou Yan's motive for doing this? He left his post without authorization and lost top-secret documents. According to the current military law, shooting is not excessive. In order to work for the Japanese spies, isn't he afraid of death? Hu Yingjie asked. .

Could it be that these actions are just a way for our opponent to mislead and delay, giving her an opportunity to send the stolen top-secret documents out of Jiangcheng?

How to send top secret documents out of Jiangcheng?

The top-secret documents are in Chinese and English. They cannot be sent by ordinary mail. Even if they are carried by a dedicated person, they may not pass our inspection.

As long as the document is stolen, it is not difficult to send it out. As long as the opponent dares to take risks, it can always be sent out. However, if such an important document is not sent out through a safe channel, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the process. Luo Yao said.

So, the documents may have been sent out of the mountain city? Zhang Xiaozheng's face changed slightly, this is troublesome.

Not yet. Although this document is important, it is not timely. Thinking from the opponent's perspective, he does not need to find a way to send the document immediately. He only needs to hide the document and wait for the news to pass before sending it out. It will be easier not to discover it at that time. Luo Yao analyzed and judged.

This top-secret document has been signed a long time ago. Even if the Japanese get the document, they will only put pressure on the Americans in the negotiations. As long as the negotiations do not break down, they should not be in such a hurry. As an aide-de-camp, Zhang Xiaozheng naturally knows a lot. confidential.

What if Japan is eager to get this document?

If you are eager to get this document, why do you need to spend half a year planning? Luo Yao said, Based on my judgment, this document should not have been sent out yet, and it is in a corner of the mountain city.

But how do we find it? Zhang Xiaozheng asked.

Adjutant Zhang, if you were our opponent, would you always pay attention to our movements? Luo Yao asked.

certainly.

But we are in the light and our opponent is in the dark, and she has erased everything she can. How do you think he will observe us? Luo Yao asked.

this……

She is probably someone familiar to us, someone we wouldn't have thought of. Luo Yao said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the office dropped sharply by several degrees, which was a bit eerie.

I'm just guessing from the opponent's perspective, and it may not be accurate. This person will definitely not be one of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come to the meeting. Luo Yao said with a smile.

Except for Zhang Xiaozheng, the other three people in this office are all subordinates of Luo Yao. Although Yang Zhaojie was not in the past, she is now a core member.

Luo Yao had doubts about Yang Zhaojie, but he never told anyone. Facts have proved that Yang Zhaojie is reliable.

If Michiko Uchiyama was Yang Zhaojie, it would be great fun. Luo Yao worked with Yang Zhaojie in the past. It would be impossible for Michiko Uchiyama to disguise herself as Yang Zhaojie and deceive him. .

The face can be disguised, but ordinary people may not be able to distinguish the walking posture and speaking voice, but Luo Yao is not an ordinary person. Only those he has never seen before may not be able to recognize them. As long as he has seen them, he cannot escape them.

Unless that Yang Zhaojie was Michiko Uchiyama in disguise from the beginning, but that's impossible.
