Chapter 959 Where Is Qi Bin?
"Qi Bin and Qi Yaorong have been in Ba County for three years. If he hides, it will be difficult for us to find him?"
"Yes, Qi Yaorong is just a piece of meat. If we can't confirm that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, we really can't torture him. When the time comes, he will bite us in turn..."
"If Qi Bin had planned it beforehand..."
"In this way, the most likely places for Qi Bin to hide now are Ba County and Shancheng. Let's divide the work. I will take people to Baxian, Deng Ke and Team Cao. You stay in Shancheng. We will divide the troops into two groups. I will take them with me. How about bringing a radio station and we can keep in touch at all times. As long as we catch the person, we will have reason to extend Qi Yaorong's detention time." Wen Zishan suggested.
"The proposal from the Chief of the Arts Section is very good. This is all we have now. If we can't catch Qi Bin, we have to let him go." Shen Yu nodded and agreed with Wen Zishan's suggestion.
"That's it, let's split up."
"Would you like to call Brother Yao to vent your anger? After all, this case is related to Sister Hui?" Cao Hui suggested.
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll go talk to him." Shen Yu took over the task.
…
Luo Yao returned to the military technical room, called Huo Tian and Chi An to the office, and told them about cooperation with the British.
When Huo Tian and Chi An heard about the British cooperation conditions, they were naturally very angry. Cooperation was equal.
This Major Berry obviously took the Chinese as the enemy and exchanged a pile of scrap metal for his hard work and day and night deciphering experience.
Why are there such shameless people in this world?
However, everyone knows that China's war of resistance requires the support of Western powers. If nothing else, the Burma Highway is in the hands of the British.
If this lifeline is cut off by the British, it will be very uncomfortable for the country. Even if they don't cut it off for you and they secretly cause trouble for you, it will give you a headache.
This foreigner's dirty work doesn't happen in a day or two.
But having said that, the British are also afraid of pushing the Chinese into a hurry. If they wear the same pants as the Japanese, they will be the ones who suffer.
It can be said that both sides have fears and need each other, but after all, the British Empire is thousands of miles away.
Burma and India are just his colonies. Although the benefits are huge, they may not be able to survive if they are lost.
The Chinese people cannot afford to lose.
This is the capital of the British's arrogance and condescension. Since the Opium War, relying on the strength of their ships and the advancement of science and technology, they have got rid of the need to drink raw materials and drink blood. They think that they have become civilized people since then. In fact, the gangster mentality in their hearts has not changed.
"Actually, what they want is experience and information on deciphering Japanese cipher codes. It's not that we don't have it, we can give it to them." Luo Yao said, "As for them wanting to use junk to fool us, that won't work."
"But the cooperation agreement proposed by Berry said that we cannot select the equipment they assist. Is this clearly meant to trick us?" Huo Tian asked.
"This is negotiable. Besides, the British know our achievements, but what about the Americans and the Soviets?" Luo Yao said.
"You mean shopping around?"
"When it comes to shopping around, I have experience. Sell to three. Anyway, we are the weak side, but we have to make good use of our advantages to get the maximum benefit for ourselves." Luo Yao said.
"Is this okay? Will the superiors agree?" Chi An asked anxiously.
"We are just making suggestions. Whether it works or not depends on what it says above. Anyway, this is the condition the British gave us. We cannot agree to such humiliating conditions." Luo Yao spread his hands and said.
"Yes, this is no longer cooperation, it is simply selling yourself and counting the money for others." Huo Tian also said angrily.
"Okay, I will go to Director He tomorrow to report this matter." Luo Yao nodded, first he must reach a consensus within himself.
…
When I returned home at night, I found that Luo Nan had returned.
The person who sent her back was actually Shen Yu.
Mr. Luo Han was shocked by the sudden appearance of an eldest granddaughter. It was obviously impossible for his son to have such an eldest daughter.
When he learned that Luo Nan's parents and younger brother were killed by Japanese soldiers, and even the entire village was massacred, the old man felt the same way.
He himself had the same experience, witnessing an entire village being massacred by Japanese invaders, with only a few people surviving.
Luo Yao adopted this child as his adopted daughter. Of course, he loved the house so much that he recognized his granddaughter without any obstacles.
Although she is not her biological granddaughter, she was even more happy when she heard that Xiaonan said that her family name was also Luo, and even said that it was fate.
Although the Luo family's genealogy has long been lost, no one can say for sure that it goes back hundreds of years. Is this an ancestor?
The grandfather and grandson hit each other very well when they met, and they actually chatted happily. Luo Nan also talked about "grandpa" and called Luo Han with great joy.
When he found out that Luo Nan not only practiced martial arts, but was also interested in herbal medicine, the old man couldn't wait to teach her all his skills now. He would definitely not find a woman as his apprentice, lest anyone gossip behind her back, but If you teach your own granddaughter, it will be your disciple’s grandchild, so there will be no problem.
"Brother Six, why are you here when you are free?" Luo Yao saw that the grandfather and grandson had more in common than the father and son, and he did not want to disturb him, so as not to offend others.
Shen Yu happened to come over and had a lot to say to him.
Together with the teacher Yu Jie, the three of them got into the study.
"I came here because I had something to do with you. Secondly, after Xiaonan sent out her transcripts, she wanted to come over earlier, so I brought her back with me." Shen Yu explained.
"Ah Yu, let's get down to business." Yu Jie sat in the front seat and reminded Shen Yu softly.
"Xu Tailai invited Minister Chen Zuyan to put pressure on us. If it cannot be proved that Qi Yaorong is directly related to the assassination of Xiaohui, we will have to release him after 48 hours." Shen Yu said seriously.
"Qi Yaorong is obviously involved in this case. Why did Minister Chen come forward?" Luo Yao said with a hint of surprise.
"Our military commander has been too powerful in recent times, and the central commander has repeatedly suffered defeats. Xu Tailai's life was very difficult. Previously, Mr. Dai wanted to make peace with us. However, later because of the Xiaostool case, Mr. Dai also failed. A solution has emerged." Shen Yu said.
The Mr. Dai Shen Yu was talking about was not Dai Yunong, but another Mr. Dai, who was close to the old man and his right-hand man. He had served as the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, the propaganda minister of the Kuomintang, and the current director of the Examination Yuan. A veteran of the party and state, his position is of great importance.
"There is also the negotiation between you and Yang Wei, the director of Zhongtong Mountain City Experimental Zone, where you asked for 800,000 French currency in compensation. Is this the case?" Yu Jie asked.
"The teacher also knows?"
"You really dare to ask for the Central Unification's monthly funding? You want 800,000 yuan with just one mouthful?" Yu Jie glared.
"This negotiation was originally about asking for a high price, and I paid back the money on the ground. I didn't say anything randomly. My compensation of 800,000 French currency has a source and basis." Luo Yao explained.
"If word of this gets out, I'm afraid your reputation for being greedy for money will be gone."
"Being greedy for money is not a bad thing. A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. I didn't get it from corruption or illegal crimes. What's more, the compensation is not mine alone." Luo Yao said, "Mr. Dai, I This number must be handed over.”
Luo Yao stretched out his hand towards Yu Jie and Shen Yu, spread out his five fingers and said.
Half a million!
Yu Jie and Shen Yu were both shocked.
No wonder Luo Yao dared to ask Zhongtong for 800,000 yuan in compensation. The key was that the money was not for him alone.
"Is the military commander short of money?" Yu Jie turned to ask Shen Yu.
Shen Yu nodded. He used to be the deputy director of the General Affairs Department. Naturally, he knew how much the military commander spent every month, especially the funds for personnel behind enemy lines. Most of them had to be raised by the military commander himself. The superiors allocated The amount of funds available is enough to cover the internal support expenses of the bureau headquarters.
It's no wonder that Yu Jie has been absent from the military command for a long time, so he naturally doesn't know the situation. Luo Yao opened his mouth to take the blame for Dai Yunong.
He really couldn't blame him for this.
"Fourth brother, let's not talk about the compensation. The most important thing at the moment is, where is Qi Bin?" Shen Yu said.
"We now assume that the assassination of Xiaohui was done by Qi Yaorong in revenge for You Ning's instructions to Qi Bin. After the incident was exposed, Qi Yaorong asked Qi Bin to kill the three men who were following him, and then he hid himself so that no one could find him. Come and die without proof." Yu Jie analyzed.
"However, unless Qi Bin is also dead, Qi Yaorong will inevitably be contacted. This will not remove the suspicion on Qi Yaorong. If we can't find Qi Bin, we can only find Qi Yaorong." Luo Yaorong said, "In addition, assassination There were not only four people at the scene, Qi Bin, but also a sniper. Although he was not the one who fired the most fatal shot on Xiaohui's body, his shot was aimed at taking Xiaohui's life. Who was this person? We don’t have any clues yet.”
"Yes, whether this sniper and Qi Bin are in the same group, we have to find Qi Bin now to find out." Shen Yu agreed.
"Qi Bin is missing, and we have no direct evidence to prove that Qi Yaorong was behind it. Unless Qi Yaorong admits it himself, but he is not stupid. If he really set up a trap, he would not say anything. This is simply unsolvable." Yu Jie said. .
"Is the Chief of Arts and Sciences confident of prying Qi Yaorong's mouth open?"
"Wen Laosan has led the team to Ba County again. Qi Bin disappeared in Ba County. He wanted to look for clues. However, after interrogating him all afternoon today, Qi Yaorong refused to speak." Shen Yu said.
"Wen Zishan went to Ba County again?" Luo Yao was surprised.
"He discussed with Deng Yi and Cao Hui and divided the troops into two groups. He has been to Ba County and there are familiar classmates there. It would be more appropriate to lead the team there. Deng Yi and Cao Hui stayed in the mountain city. On the one hand, they wanted to The method is to pry open Qi Yaorong's mouth and prevent Qi Bin from returning to the mountain city to hide after killing people and silencing him. In this way, we only have forty-eight hours with a two-pronged approach." Shen Yu explained.
"What if Qi Bin is not in Ba County or Shancheng?"
"The only thing we can do is release Qi Yaorong after forty-eight hours." Shen Yu said helplessly. No matter how strong Dai Yunong was, he would not dare to challenge Chen Zuyan.
