"Deputy Section Chief Wang, the person who came out is Bai Lifer."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, we've quietly checked with someone, and all the information is matched. And we also know another piece of information, he bought a ticket to Hong Kong tomorrow. ”

"Okay, keep an eye on me."

Wang Nanxing threw away the cigarette butt: "I'll go and report to Section Chief Meng immediately." ”

……

"We investigated clearly, and after Bai Livier arrived in Wuhan, he did live in the Jingming Building, and wandered around the streets and alleys, teahouses and hotels, or visited friends every day, and the situation was not very clear. After staying for a few days, instead of going to Chongqing as he had learned in the report, he bought a ticket to return to Hong Kong tomorrow. ”

"Ready to run?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered there: "Where can I do it?" ”

"The most suitable place is Nanhu Airport." Wang Nanxing replied: "He will definitely cross the river to Nanhu Airport, as long as we set up an ambush there, we can catch him without making waves." ”

"That's Nanhu Airport."

Meng Shaoyuan made up his mind: "At the same time, find a place nearby, and start interrogation as soon as you are caught!" ”

……

Morning, 8 o'clock.

"It's out."

"Keep an eye on."

With a box in his hand, Bai Lifer walked out of the Jingming Building.

He reached out and stopped a rickshaw.

"Keep up!" Wang Nanxing said in a low voice.

The direction in which the rickshaw went was not the river crossing wharf.

"It seems to be going to the British Concession?" Wang Nanxing frowned.

Gan Ning said calmly: "Just follow it, since he bought a ticket, he will definitely go to the airport." ”

The rickshaw really pulled into the Polo Pavilion in the British Concession.

Clifford got out of the car, looked left and right, then took out a letter and stuffed it into the mailbox, and then got into the rickshaw.

"You." Wang Nanxing pointed to a spy beside him: "Go get that letter out." ”

"Yes!"

"The rest, keep keeping up with me!"

……

Hankou, river crossing wharf.

Plavier had no idea that he was being followed.

When the river ferry docked, he boarded the ship with the others.

And behind him, the agents of the military commander, who were staring at him.

On deck, Plavier leisurely lit his pipe.

Wang Nanxing also took out a cigarette.

Gan Ning took out a lighter and lit it for Wang Nanxing.

"Ouch, American."

"Boss Wang, if you like it, I'll send it to you."

The conversation between the two Chinese around him clearly fell into Bai Lifer's ears.

He smiled contemptuously, these Chinese with dirt buns, a lighter can also make a fuss.

……

Wuhan, Nanhu Airport.

The people who came here were either rich or noble, and as the Japanese army approached Wuhan, a large number of well-known people were in a hurry to evacuate the city.

Airfares aren't too tight at the moment.

Clifford got out of the rickshaw and paid the fare.

"Mr. Cliffor?"

Suddenly, his name was called.

Plavier looked, wasn't it the Chinese who asked for a lighter on the ship?

He looked at him suspiciously, "Are you?" ”

"Mr. Clifford, I thought you were familiar to me just now on the ship, but you forgot that we had done business together in Shanghai."

Shanghai?

Ever done business together?

Before he could react, the rickshaw driver suddenly said, "Sir, this is what you dropped, right?" ”

"What's that?" Plavier walked back to the rickshaw.

Suddenly, his waist was pressed against a cold thing: "Don't make a sound, make a sound, kill you!" ”

"You...... Who are you? Clifford became alarmed.

"Military commander, get in the car with us!"

Wang Nanxing couldn't say anything, and pressed Bai Lifu into a car......

……

"What are you going to do? I protest! I'm British! ”

In a temporarily requisitioned house, Plavier shouted, "You are kidnapping! Kidnap! I'm going to accuse you! Sue the National Government! ”

"Be quiet!" Wang Nanxing slapped the table.

"No, no!" Plavier almost roared there.

"Yelling, useless."

The door was pushed open, and Meng Shaoyuan walked in.

"Who are you?"

"You don't care who I am!" Meng Shaoyuan sat down: "Mr. Cliffor, we respect your British identity, I also have a few British friends, we don't want to embarrass you, we just have a few questions to ask you." ”

"I have nothing to answer to." Plavier was probably tired too, and sat down in his chair.

Meng Shaoyuan asked lightly: "Mr. Clifford, when did you start colluding with the British to steal information from the Chinese?" ”

"What do you say? Am I in collusion with the Japanese? Plavier vetoed: "This is simply ridiculous." ”

"Really?" Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry: "Do you think that if we don't have conclusive evidence of you, we will arrest an Englishman like you?" ”

"Sir, my Chinese is not very good, and I can't understand a lot of your words."

"Well, I'll talk to you in your native language." Meng Shaoyuan immediately changed to English: "If you don't explain, I think we will spend a long time here." ”

Dai Lian repeatedly instructed that he was not allowed to torture Plavior, otherwise it would be very troublesome in the future.

And this happens to be the place where Bai Lifer has no fear, in the face of the other party's problems, he either pretends to be deaf and dumb, or denies it in every way.

Meng Shaoyuan had been watching his performance, and seeing that the heat was almost over, he took out a thick letter from his pocket: "What about this letter to Macquarie Bank in Hong Kong?" ”

Plavier's face changed suddenly.

It's over, it's all exposed.

Just last evening, after returning to his apartment, he picked up the lantern and discussed the night battle, sorted out the information collected over the past few days, and wrote a letter in English on ten pages of letterhead, in an attempt to convey the information by mail.

He was supposed to carry it with him, but the British consul general in Hankow, Wei Demo, had told him that the Chinese authorities were suspicious of him and warned him to be careful.

In order to avoid carrying it with him, he would get dirty", and he thought of mailing it.

On the way to the airport, the agent sent by Wang Nanxing negotiated with the post office to take out the letter.

The contents of the letter are all information on China's affairs, politics, economy, and international relations, and there are malicious criticisms of China's diplomatic situation.

"Faith, I've seen it." Meng Shaoyuan threw the letter on the table: "What else do you have to say?" ”

"I can explain." Plavier perked up his emotions: "I'm just doing an investigation, and my fundamental purpose is to investigate this obstacle to peace and write an article to promote peace between China and Japan." ”

"Yes, then the Chinese still have to thank you?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Prevot, English name Prevot, was born on February 1, 1894 on The Peak Road, Hong Kong, with the registration number of his father being a plantation worker, and his parents are French......"

Clifford panicked.

Moreover, for the sake of prudence, Chen Cheng, chairman of the Hubei Provincial Government, sent a telegram to Wu Tiecheng, chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government, requesting that he send personnel to Hong Kong to verify the facts.

It's not hard to figure out this, but for a suspect, the psychology is completely different. To a large extent, he will think that the other side has a lot of information.

Meng Shaoyuan continued: "You live at No. 25 Consul Street in the French Concession of Shanghai, have lived in China for nearly 32 years, and have been to Tianjin, Beiping, Jinan, Qingdao, Shanhaiguan and major trade cities in the mainland. In order to make a living, you began to contact the Japanese secret services and provide them with information, do you want me to help you tell you the following? ”

He stopped at this abrupt point, because he didn't know the rest.

But that was enough, and layers of sweat poured from Berry's forehead.

He is not a professional spy, has not undergone any training, does not have that strong psychological quality, and in his opinion, the Chinese know everything.

"Say, Mr. Cliffor." Meng Shaoyuan began to induce: "You are British, as long as you can explain everything, we will not embarrass you." ”

"Can you guarantee it?"

"Yes, I can guarantee that."

"Okay, I said."

Polyvier's psychological defenses were completely opened.

The first Japanese spy he came into contact with was Yonemu, an officer of the Information and Political Intelligence Division of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.

Then, under Yonemu's introduction, I got to know Kamu, the title of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.

The identities of the two Japanese were the official spokesmen of Japan, but they were actually intelligence officers.

He was not aware of the organizational ceiling of the department, but only that it was present daily to preside over news presentations.

The place where he met with these two people was in his private residence, either the Broadway Building, where He Mu was located, or the Barnas Hotel.

According to Berry's confession, he was assigned to this job around March 15, 1938, for a period of three and a half months. Acting alone, without accomplices. The operation was directly assigned by Kamu, the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai.

And the economic part of the intelligence is given to Mimu. Its actions are not continuous, but only of a journalistic and communicative nature. For the first time, he received 220 pounds of activity funds and a salary of 550 Chinese dollars.

The second event cost 90 pounds, the salary was 450 yuan, and there was no salary when he did not leave Shanghai, and he only received 300 yuan for clothing, and the above two times were received in the Shanghai Broadway Building.

When he was arrested, he withheld the balance of 13 pounds, 250 Chinese dollars, 100 Hong Kong dollars, and a plane ticket to Hong Kong worth 240 Chinese dollars.

The confession was already available, and Meng Shaoyuan took it and took a look:

"Mr. Clifford, check your confession, and sign it if there is no problem."

"There is no problem with the confession."

Clifford looked at it: "But I refuse to sign." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Meng Shaoyuan said patiently: "We have a saying in China that is called dare to act, since you have admitted it, don't you even want to sign it?" ”

"No, admitting is admitting, I firmly refuse to sign!"

Polyvier said loudly and stubbornly.
