Secret War Silent

Luo Yao chuckled, took out the list he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket, put it gently in Gong Hui's hand, and said, "Secret investigation, don't startle the snake."

"Do you still need to teach me?" Gong Hui snorted coldly, turned around, entered the room, and closed the door.

Luo Yao shook his head and sighed, woman!

"I ironed the shirt for you. It's crumpled. It's not embarrassing to wear it out!" A moment later, a disgusted voice came from inside the room.

"Thanks."

……

"How about it, Counselor Osborn, it's already the third day, I didn't deliberately make things difficult for you, this is a military order issued by you yourself." Looking at Osborn whose eyes were like rabbits, Luo Yao still felt a little bit in his heart. I can't bear it, but I can't help it. This military order is not a child's play.

The rules of the army must be obeyed.

"It was 09:30 in the morning when I issued the military order, and it's only less than 07:30 now. I still have at least two hours." Osborne stayed up all night again, and when he opened his mouth, the smell was really driving.

"Okay, I'm a fair person. If that's the case, then I'll wait for you for two hours." Luo Yao smiled and nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to keep working, don't bother me!"

Wu Fu and the others knew that even if they were given another twenty hours, they might not be able to find the English book unless there was a miracle.

……

"Station Master, outside the main gate, there is a lady surnamed Xu who said that she has something urgent to see Consultant Osborne." Luo Yao had just returned to his office from Osborne's, when Secretary Xiao Wu knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Miss Xu, Xu Zhen?" Luo Yao moved slightly. Although Xu Zhen knew that Osborne was working in the "Veterinary Station", she couldn't get in.

The security measures of the "Veterinary Station" are very strict. In addition to the certificate, you need to combine the certificate to enter, and there are two watchtowers built at the gate, and machine guns are set up.

There are also four guard dogs in the yard.

Well, at the veterinary station, isn't it normal to raise a few wolfdogs to look after the house?

This is a restricted area for military affairs. If you approach it, someone will come forward and warn you to leave. If you don't listen to the persuasion, you will be taken down immediately, and then punished as a spy.

"Go and bring her in, and take her to the reception room of the security department in the annex." Luo Yao ordered.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the "secret translation room" office building except for our own people. This is an iron rule, and no one can break the rules.

The garbage here is handled by specialized personnel, and any small piece of paper that flows out may cause huge troubles.

Security and confidentiality work must not be sloppy.

Ten minutes later, Luo Yao met Xu Zhen in the reception room of the security department. He met this woman very rarely, only twice.

What he remembered most was when he rescued her and Osborne in the cave in the ravine, that was the first time he met, and then he met again in the yard where Osborne lived.

There is no communication at all, it can only be regarded as acquaintance.

This time is the third time.

Almond eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, fair skin, not particularly beautiful, can only be said to be above-average in appearance, it may be because of the difference in aesthetics, at least in Luo Yaoyan's eyes, this is not perfect.

Wavy curly hair, shawl, a very western style, a cheongsam that covers the hips, a good figure, a ruby ​​ring, and a blue leather bag in his hand. The sitting posture is very elegant, full of ladylike style.

With a lady's cigarette in his hand, when he saw Luo Yao coming in, he quickly stood up and quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray on the table.

Luo Yao doesn't dislike women smoking. Women in this era smoke a lot, especially women who claim to be literary and petty bourgeois. They all like to smoke. They think it is a fashion.

Since it is a fashion, you alone cannot stop it, but she will remind the women around you of smoking. After all, smoking is harmful to health, especially for women.

"Miss Xu, we met."

"Yes, I know you, you are Mr. Luo." Xu Zhen said hurriedly.

"Mr. Osborne is working. He may not be able to spare time to see you. If it's not a particularly personal matter, I can do it for you or convey it to you." Luo Yao nodded.

Xu Zhen hesitated for a while, and finally opened the leather bag, and took out a blue-faced book from it: "Mr. Luo, please help me deliver this book to Osborn, this book may be the I found it."

Luo Yao glanced at the English words on the cover: "The Great Earth", the author is an American writer named Pearl Buck, which is her Chinese name, and her English name is Platinum Barker.

He was somewhat familiar with this name, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"How does Ms. Xu know that Mr. Osborne is looking for this book again?" Luo Yao raised his eyes and asked calmly.

"He came home yesterday, and I saw that he was very tired, so I asked him what was going on. He said that he was doing a job and had to find an English book. If he couldn't find it, his work might be carried out. If I can’t go on, I will ask him what kind of book it is, and he will tell me a few key words and sentences.”

"Did Mr. Osborne ask Ms. Xu to help find it?"

"Oh, no, I found it for him myself. I usually like to read some English novels. When I went back at night, I remembered what he said. I opened some English novels in my home and found out that this I found the key words he said on pages 17, 18, and 19 of this novel, so I wonder if I can help him?" Xu Zhen explained.

Luo Yao brought the "Earth" over, and flipped through the page numbers that Xu Zhen had just mentioned, and sure enough, he saw those familiar key words on the first line of the three pages.

"Very well, thank you Miss Xu, please take a short rest here, I will take this book to Mr Osborne, if it is the book he is looking for, that is the best, if not, I will give the book Bring it back to you." Luo Yao got up and said.

Luo Yao came out of the reception room, ordered Cao Hui to order someone to guard the door of the reception room, and then went directly to Osborne with the "The Great Earth".

……

Luo Yao didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly threw "The Great Earth" in front of him: "Consultant Osborne, try to open the first line of pages 17, 18 and 19."

Osborne looked at Luo Yao with bloodshot eyes.

"Look at what I'm doing, verify it?"

Only then did Osborne open the "Earth" in his hand.Finding the number of pages Luo Yao mentioned, his eyes widened suddenly, his expression was like seeing his first love many years ago, and he couldn't pull out his eyes at all.

Osborn overthrew all the other English books on the desk in front of him. With this "The Great Earth" in his hand, other books are not important.

He ran out of time, only more than an hour, and this "The Great Earth" seemed to be his last hope, if not.

He is completely lost.

Luo Yao didn't bother him, just watched him do the calculations. After all, even if he found the right book, he had to go through verification to be sure.

The best way to verify is to decipher those intercepted messages, nothing can explain the problem better than this.

Half an hour later, Osborn's sweaty face showed an ecstatic smile: "Haha, it is it, it is it, Luo, I found it, and I deciphered 'Midnight Ghost'..."

Luo Yao was also very surprised, Xu Zhen was so lucky that Osborn actually found him, what a lucky Yankee.

"Consultant Osborne, it seems that I gave you this book?"

Osborn's laughter stopped abruptly. He seemed to have forgotten that the "The Great Earth" in his hand was not found by himself, but Luo Yao brought it and told him the clues in the pages.

"Luo, you gave me the book voluntarily, and I didn't ask you to give it to me. Besides, the rule is that if I find the code to decipher the 'Midnight Ghost' code within three days, I will win. You can't go back on your word." Osborne said He also had a quick brain, and immediately refuted it.

"It seems to make some sense. I should wait for the time to pass before giving it to you. I made a mistake." Luo Yao sighed, "I underestimated your rascal, Osborn."

"I am not a rogue, I am using the rules, and the rules are used to be used!"

"Okay, I'm a man of my word. Since you have cracked the secret code of 'Midnight Ghost', I will no longer object to the matter between you and Ms. Xu. However, Ms. Xu is not a member of the military command, and she is not allowed to contact the secret code. You are not allowed to mention related matters to her, otherwise you will be responsible if there is a leak." Luo Yao reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional person."

"I hope so. Miss Xu is in the reception room of the security department. You can go find her now." Luo Yao nodded.

Chapter 0371 A Missed Opportunity

Luo Yao clearly remembered that there was a copy of "The Great Earth" on the list of books he gave Osborne, if he looked for it according to the list of books he provided.

Maybe soon too.

It's just that he was too conceited and missed an opportunity to decipher "Midnight Ghost" by himself.

However, what surprised Luo Yao the most was that the person who finally found "The Earth" was actually Xu Zhen, a person he never thought about.

Reason, no flaws.

At least not so far.

"Station Master, I heard that Consultant Osborn has deciphered the secret code of 'Midnight Ghost'?" Chi An seemed to have heard the news, knocked on the door and walked into Luo Yao's office.

"Well, the masthead code is in an English novel called "The Great Earth." Luo Yao nodded. At first, Chi An was responsible for deciphering the "Midnight Ghost" secret code. Later, many people participated, including Osborn. It is also one of them, and many suggestions have been put forward.

However, Chi An's energy is mainly focused on deciphering the secret Japanese diplomatic telegrams, and the energy on "Midnight Ghost" is naturally much less, and there is even no time at all recently.

Chi An is not petty. Anyone who deciphers the "Midnight Ghost" code, he is happy. Deciphering the code is equivalent to mastering this "spy" activity. From the information he sent to the Japanese intelligence agency, it can be deduced that The scope of the person, occupation and so on.

In this way, the suspects can be more accurately screened out from the suspects.

Moreover, it can deploy in advance based on the information provided by the "spy" to lure the enemy into being fooled and cast doubt on the loyalty of the "spy".

""The Great Earth", the name is quite familiar, I seem to have heard of it?" Chi An thought about it for a while, then nodded slightly.

"The work of an American female writer, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature last year, has lived in China for many years, and "The Great Earth" also describes the stories of rural China." Luo Yao remembered why the name Pearl Buck was so familiar to him, because Its author lived in Jinling for a long time in the past.

For such a talented female writer who has lived in China for many years, and she is also a beautiful woman, the newspapers will naturally have many reports.

Before returning to the United States, Pearl Buck lived in China for nearly 40 years. Her Chinese level is probably better than her English.

"This is really..." Chi An sighed, not knowing what to say, but he was looking for a book among thousands of books, just like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Osborn found it.

This perseverance is admirable.

"Old Chi, although we have found the password, we have intercepted a lot of messages before, and it may take time to decipher them all. If you have time, you can help."

"It's fine to help. As long as the password is cracked, it's only a matter of time before deciphering the message. This credit should be left to Consultant Osborn." Chi An chuckled. It's time for him to intervene. Others will think he is trying to grab the credit. After all, he was responsible for the "Midnight Ghost" case in the past.

"Alright, I'll make an announcement later to announce the good news to everyone, and add food to the cafeteria to celebrate." Luo Yao said.

"It's time to celebrate. This case has been suspended for a long time. If it can't be deciphered, it will become an unsolved case." Chi An said, "I am in charge of this case, and it will be me who will be ashamed."

"Ha ha!"

……

"What did you say, my dear, you found that "The Great Earth"?" Osborne said after hearing Xu Zhen's narration, his scalp numb with shock.

"Yes, I asked Mr. Luo to hand it over to you." Xu Zhen didn't understand why Osborne had such a big reaction, didn't he know?

"Damn Luo, he lied to me!" Osborn was very angry. He thought that Luo Yao found "The Earth" and helped him. He was grateful, but after a long time, it turned out to be his own woman I found it and sent it to him.

This is clearly stealing Xu Zhen's credit.

This hypocritical fellow!

"Mr. Luo lied to you, Osborne, what did he lie to you, my dear?" Xu Zhen didn't understand what was going on, and asked.

"Zhen, this matter has nothing to do with you, but I want to thank you, without you, we would be forced to separate." Osborn said emotionally.

"What, Osborne, I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"Zhen, go back now, wait for me at home, don't leave, wait for me to go back and explain to you, understand?" Osborne doesn't want to explain to Xu Zhen now, because it takes an hour to say no Clearly, firstly, he didn't have such a long time, secondly, this is not a place to explain, and thirdly, he is going to settle accounts with Luo Yao.

"Well, I'll go back and wait for you." Xu Zhen nodded.

……

Osborn angrily pushed open the door of Luo Yao's office, walked in, and closed the door from the inside. This was his personal grievance with Luo Yao.

He also didn't want to be heard by outsiders.

"Luo, you're going too far. Ms. Xu found that book "The Great Earth", yet you took the credit for yourself?" Osborn slammed his fists on Luo Yao's desk angrily, and asked.

Luo Yao raised his head and glanced at Osborne, and asked calmly, "I told you, did I find that?"

"Uh……"

Osborn was stunned. He carefully recalled the process before and after Luo Yao took "The Earth" and handed it to him, but he didn't seem to explain the exact origin of "The Earth".

"Then why don't you explain that Miss Xu Zhen gave it to you?"

"Did you ask?"

"If I don't ask, can you not explain?" Osborn continued to question.

"How do you need me to explain, or what do you think, what should I do, is it more appropriate to hand over "The Earth" to you two hours later?" Luo Yao said, "That way even if you decipher the 'Midnight Ghost', I can still judge you The military order was not completed."

"..."

"I have many reasons to keep Ms. Xu's "The Earth" and give it to you. You understand." Luo Yao said, "Besides, Xu Zhen is not one of us, and you have disclosed to her the situation in your work without authorization. , you have violated the regulations, do you want me to punish you according to the regulations?"

"I just told her that I was looking for an English book and a few key words?" Osborne argued, but his momentum was obviously much lower.

"You are also an old agent who has been engaged in intelligence work for many years. A few key words may reveal important information, don't you know?"

"Miss Xu Zhen is trustworthy, she will not be the kind of person you said."

"You know who she was in the past, do you need me to remind you?" Luo Yao said, "If we follow our rules, it is impossible for her to be allowed to be with you."

"Luo, you are inferring guilt. Could it be that just because of a person's past, you can completely deny everything about him?" Osborne said, "Xu Zhen is also innocent. She just met people who were not nice, and she is also a victim."

"I don't think in your United States, you won't be so tolerant of people with such criminal records, especially in special departments like intelligence agencies?"
