Chapter 296: Previous Lesson, New Discovery
When the two parties met again, Christine had already changed into her professional attire.
The delicate woman lying on the hospital bed disappeared. The momentum accumulated from twenty years of intelligence work came over, and the Queen of French Intelligence appeared proudly in front of the two people.
"I have a task for you two." Christine crossed her arms and gave the order forcefully.
"Madam, we are carrying out the task assigned by Mr. Pierre." The woman among them subconsciously used her superior's prevarication.
"Oh?" Christine raised her eyebrows and looked at the young woman. "Ms. April O'Neill, may I ask your military rank?"
"You don't have a military rank yet, ma'am." The other party lowered her head and answered.
"What about you? Mr. Winston Fisher." Christine turned to look at the man on the other side.
"I was a lieutenant when I was in the North African combat force, but now I have left the force, madam." The man had no choice but to respond head-on.
"In other words, you are civilians without military ranks? According to the multi-party agreement of the Allied Command, in military management areas, civilians should obey the command of the person in charge of the wartime management agency."
"Therefore, as the commissioner of the Paris War Administration, I ask you to obey the order, or do you feel that Pierre can directly violate the document signed by Mr. de Gaulle."
"This..." The two people found themselves at this time I fell into the other party's language trap and couldn't refute the other party's words based on my identity.
"Okay, madam, please give me the order." A woman named April took the lead in compromising.
"Smart choice, follow me." Kristen stepped forward, walked a few steps and looked back at the two people
"Don't you want to come over?"
< br>
The two agents had no choice but to submit.
The three of them plus He Chi came to a huge warehouse. There was about a company of American soldiers guarding the door. Every time they entered an area, they went through strict inspections. The Easterners stepped forward and pulled the third After passing through the wooden gate, they arrived at the core area.
The two people were shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw that the densely packed shelves were full of explosive boxes with the TNT logo written on them. Judging from the number, there were dozens of tons.
Although they knew that TNT was very safe and could not explode without going through a detonating device, the two of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Oh my God! So many explosives are enough to destroy one-tenth of Paris." The woman named April covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"You're right, these explosives were originally used to destroy Paris." Christine patted the shelf next to her.
“We captured Choltitz, the supreme commander of Paris, before entering the city. His confession mentioned that Berlin had ordered him to blow up Paris, but failed to carry it out in time. These were based on the information provided by the German troops who later surrendered. TNT dismantled from the explosive layout plan."
"Madam, the story sounds thrilling, but what does this have to do with us?" asked the man named Winston Fisher.
“This is your task.” Christine threw out a list. “In the next time, you need to compare these explosives with the disassembly locations to confirm whether the yield of each location is If it's appropriate, then give me feedback."
"Ma'am, I don't understand what's the point of this? Besides, it's too much work for two people," Winston Fisher protested.
"Of course it's meaningful, and it's very important." Kristen said righteously, then she glanced at April's young appearance and continued, "Any intelligence work requires a large amount of basic data to analyze. This is your job. Part of it is the first lesson I will teach you.”
“But it will only take a long time for the two of us.”
“It doesn’t matter, I can wait,” the French girl said. Turned around and walked out, then added "This is a highly confidential restricted area. You will only leave after completing your work. Water and food are ready. There are beds and bathrooms in the house next door. Please hurry up during this time."
Then Kristen walked straight outside the house without waiting for the two people to answer, then turned back and suddenly opened the door, "Don't even think about jumping out of the window to escape. The guards here really know how to shoot."
gram Christine left, leaving the two of them looking at each other.
He Chi followed up and asked, "Do you really need that list?"
"No, I chose that simply because the guards were tight and it would be difficult for them to escape. We can be quiet for a while, and at the same time, we can ask Pi El expressed our dissatisfaction appropriately." Christine pouted her lips playfully and left gracefully. In fact, the female intelligence officer knew very well that she was deliberately teasing the two of them because they disturbed her rare date time.
Boom!
Fisher punched the wall "How dare that woman humiliate me like this! What did she think we were? Letter sorters?!"
In contrast, April was much calmer. The former guerrilla thought for a moment and then started taking inventory on the shelves.
"You just compromised like that?! Don't forget, Chief Pierre still has tasks for us." Fisher asked angrily.
“But we don’t have a better way now, right?” April has begun to take a pen to record continuously. “And I don’t think Ms. Christine will let me do such boring things out of thin air. "
"What do you mean?"
"You have to know that she knew Mr. de Gaulle during the last war, and she was at least half responsible for the establishment of the Free French intelligence network. Such a person would Doing something meaningless? ”
"I believe her, there must be a deep meaning in doing this." After saying that, April immersed herself in work again.
In the next few days, Kristen enjoyed another warm time. The only drawback was that her injury healed too quickly. It became increasingly untenable to use the excuse of visiting a doctor to get together. .
Just when she was about to think of another excuse for a date, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
The two guys walked in.
"Ma'am, we have completed the task." April put a thick stack of lists on the table and made a clink.
"So fast?" Christine also became surprised. She expected that the other party would have to work for at least ten days and a half, but she didn't expect that he would come out in less than a week.
"Ms. Christine, can you teach us what the data does now?" The young female intelligence agent looked at her senior with expectant eyes. She was looking forward to her first class.
Kristen was stunned. She picked up a list and looked at it before prevaricating, "Well... uh... you did a good job, but there are also problems... He, I mentioned it to you before. , come and take a look.”
Kristen, who couldn’t figure it out, simply passed the blame to He Chi.
He Chi took the list and glanced at it twice, then picked up a few more, the expression on his face gradually changed from relaxed to serious.
Finally, he simply took out his sketch pen and sketched it on a piece of paper.
"There is something wrong with these forms." He Chi concluded.
“Impossible!” April said loudly, “I counted every number carefully and compared it repeatedly.”
“It’s not that there’s something wrong with your calculations, it’s that There's something wrong with these numbers." He Chi pointed to the table in his hand, and there were more than a dozen locations missing from the explosives recovered in the North District.
“This is normal. After all, it is possible for the measurement to be slightly off when planting explosives.”
"Since there is a deviation, then why is it always less, not more, or some more and some less?" He Chi asked the other party.
The two people opposite also looked thoughtful.
Then Dongfang pointed to a string of numbers on the list and said, "And have you discovered it? Although the number of missing explosives at each point is different, the gaps are all multiples of three kilograms. Why do you think this is?"< br>
"It shows that someone took away a batch of explosives in units of three kilograms from each place. The quantity is unlikely because the other party has very few people, and they don't want to attract attention." Fisher expressed his thoughts .
The young female intelligence agent also opened her mind at this time, "Three kilograms is a bit small for an adult man. The person who stole the explosives may be a woman or a child."
"You are right, but there is actually another possibility." He Chi stared at the area and said in a deep voice
"The other party may also be a person with a physical disability."
