Chapter 247: Deceptive tactics, real and fake spies!
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stiff.
"Are you crazy?" The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then Haitang raised her voice in a sharp voice. She stared at Zhao Duan with her eyes rounded, as if she had seen a ghost:
"You You want us to steal?”
She suspected that Zhao Duan was joking.
But unfortunately, the two people who were shocked could only see the seriousness in his eyes, and...
serious!
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Han and Haitang looked at each other and asked.
Zhao Duan glanced at their faces and said calmly:
"You all know about the last firearms case in the capital camp, right?"
"Nonsense, this is what we are investigating...wait!"
Halfway through Haitang's words, she suddenly realized something:
"You want to investigate this case too?"
Zhao Duan nodded with a serious expression:
"To be precise, I went to the Shenji Camp just to uncover the hidden ghosts inside that have not yet been exposed."
"Didn't you go to study firearms? We have also heard about the school drill..." Zhang Han frowned.
However, Haitang reacted one step ahead and her eyes lit up:
"Could it be said that making firearms is also a part of your plan?
You are doing this openly, and today you showed it in front of many military attachés through drills. The power of new firearms to prove that what was lost last time is no longer important... Is this also for fishing?
Want to attract the mole lurking in the military attache group and take action again? "
The female detective who is good at investigating cases has a flexible mind and subconsciously enters an analytical state.
But then he thought again and shook his head: "No! Even if the inner ghost knew about this and wanted to steal new firearms again, it was impossible for him to choose to do it at this time, or by sneaking in to steal... This is too So reckless!
If I were a traitor, I would definitely choose to wait... The manufacturing of firearms cannot be hidden. It will be much easier to obtain them after mass production, not to mention, the technology will be more complete by then..."
Zhao Duan shook his head and interrupted her:
"But by then, it will be too late! People lurking in Prince Jing's palace in the capital will also be worried. After the experience of the last theft, the court will definitely take precautions.
But at this time, no normal person would have thought that someone would steal at this juncture, but the difficulty has been reduced...
Of course, it doesn't matter what Prince Jing's spies think.
Importantly, I needed the drawings to be stolen. "
The two people were confused when they heard these words and looked puzzled.
Zhao Duan leaned forward and hooked his hands, asking them to come closer.
The three of them gathered around the table, their heads together like a conspiracy.
He stared at them and asked:
"Do you still remember how I found out the rebels in the imperial office?"
Haitang said angrily:
"How could you not remember? You are just cheating..."
Halfway through her words, she paused again, suddenly understood something, and blurted out:
"Are you going to..."
Zhao Duan nodded happily: "The trick works so well, why do you only use it once? This time, I have to deceive them."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, picked up a tea cup from the tea tray with his fingers, and placed it outside the tea tray.
Said: "This is the secret spy of Prince Jing's palace lurking in the capital."
He pointed to another tea cup in the tea tray: "This is the mole lurking in the military attache group."
His fingers drew an invisible line between the two tea cups:
"Prince Jing's Mansion uses spies to communicate with the inner ghosts and deliver news...Last time, I eliminated those spies, but so After a long time, it must have been replaced with a new one.
Using common sense, the new spy must have some way to communicate with the military insider, but there is no basis for trust between the two parties, and there must be a 'delay' in the communication between each other...
Haitang, you also said that the mole will definitely not take action at this juncture because the risk of exposure is too high.
So, if someone from Prince Jing’s Mansion steals the drawings at this time, what will happen? "
Haitang was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "The ghost will definitely be surprised and become nervous... he wants to confirm the situation...
ah! That’s why you want us to pretend to be spies and steal the firearm blueprints...
Then, we can observe the reactions of the suspects and test them individually, just like when they deceived us? "
Zhang Han's eyes also lit up, and he understood the viciousness of this plan:
"Even if the inner ghost holds back and does not take any action, once the secret spies lurking in the capital learn about this matter, they will definitely realize that there is a fraud...
At this time, the spies in Prince Jing's Palace will be worried that the mole will be deceived and exposed... Therefore, the spies may not be able to sit still and take the initiative to contact the mole... Wonderful! "
How smart are these two?
Zhao Duan just said it briefly and saw through the disgustingness of this fraudulent tactic.
And in his heart, he silently carried out the follow-up deduction.
This tactic sounds complicated, but it's actually extremely simple.
It takes advantage of the information gap between the "secret spy" and the "inner spy".
The two parties are like a couple in a different place. They will become suspicious of each other due to changes in the outside world and be forced to take action.
Even if both parties see through the ruse and know the "theft" is fake, it doesn't matter.
Because both parties will worry that the other party will fall into the trap...
It might be okay if they are familiar "partners" and there will be a tacit understanding.
But unfortunately, the last team of spies was killed by Zhao Duan.
New spies and moles are likely to lack understanding and trust.
And even if this plan fails, there will be no loss. Anyway, the drawings were not really stolen.
Nothing but profit!
"Why are the clues interrupted after repeated investigations by the court? It's because the enemy is immobile, and as long as we let them move, the clues will emerge on their own."
Zhao Duan smiled, but his eyes were as calm as the sea before the storm.
What he didn't say was:
The reason why he urgently decided to take action tonight was precisely because of the celebration banquet tonight.
All the prominent figures in the military attaché group will come. At this moment, the way Haitang and Zhang Han looked at him changed.
I just felt the hair on my back and a bit of chill.
They thought back and found that what Zhao Duan did after entering the Shenji Camp was like a big net that kept spreading.
Manufacturing firearms not only made up for the loss of stolen firearms, but also completed a turnaround for one's reputation in the military, and became a prerequisite for implementing deceptive tactics...
Kill three birds with one stone.
No, if you include your meritorious service and your friendship with Gongshu Tianyuan, you can achieve four goals with one stone.
I'm afraid this person is full of evil intentions, right?
Haitang suddenly sighed softly and said:
"I finally understand why His Majesty values you so much."
Zhang Han pursed his lips and exhaled: "The last time I was deceived by you... I was a little dissatisfied at first, but now I am convinced."
I always feel like you are slandering me... Forget it, I won't argue with you... Zhao Duan blocked two colleagues with his arms and smiled like a fox.
In a low voice, he began to murmur, explaining the details of the night's actions.
…
…
at the same time.
In the capital, in a remote house.
A man with an ordinary appearance and wearing a short shirt carefully made sure that there was no movement outside, and then covered the black cloth on the window, and the room suddenly became dark.
He turned around and saw that the round table in the room was already full of people.
In the middle of the round table, a huge candle burned on a candlestick.
In the daytime, a dim halo spreads.
The silhouettes of people beside the table hit the pink and white wall.
The huge ghost-like shadow swayed with the candlelight, ferocious and terrifying.
"cough."
At the top of the round table, there was a mysterious man wrapped in a robe and wearing a hood.
If Zhao Duan were here, he would definitely feel that his outfit was quite similar to that of the last spy chief of Prince Jing's Mansion, the wanted priest of the "Fashen Sect".
"Is all the information here?"
The mysterious man asked coldly, with a man's rough voice.
"Boss, we are all here. We have repeatedly confirmed that the Shenji Battalion has indeed developed a new type of firearm, which is far more advanced than before." Someone answered.
The mysterious man said "yes" and without any nonsense, he took out a map and spread it out on the table.
By candlelight, the three words "Firearms Bureau" on the map are clearly legible:
"I've called you here to formulate an action plan to raid the Firearms Bureau tonight and steal the blueprints."
Some of the secret spies looked natural.
Others were surprised:
"Chief, why are you in such a hurry?"
The mysterious man said coldly:
"This opportunity must not be missed and will not come again. You have all read the letter sent by the prince a few days ago. Those losers in Kuangfushe can't accomplish anything, but they force us to make some achievements as soon as possible.
The prince attaches great importance to the matter of firearms. If we can obtain the blueprints, we will be heavily rewarded. "
One person hesitated and said: "Why don't you contact that person..."
The mysterious man snorted coldly:
"The court's strict investigation has already scared him out of his wits. He has repeatedly pushed back and blocked him in the past few contacts.
Do you think he will take action at this time?
Hehe, no one would have thought that we would be bold enough to take action at this juncture. This is the opposite. The less they expect, the greater our chances of success. "
Another person was worried:
"But the current drawings are probably not perfect. It would be better to wait until they are perfected..."
The mysterious man was furious:
"But by then, it will be too late! With the experience of the last theft, the court will definitely take precautions..."
He slapped the table with his big hand and said in a deep voice: "I have made my decision. You don't have to stop me, just carry it out!" Tonight, Xue Shence will hold a celebration banquet for Zhao Thief, and all the military attachés in the city will be present. , when the Firearms Bureau is empty, you need to cooperate with me and raid this place!"
He stabbed his finger fiercely at the center of the map illuminated by mixed candlelight.
All around, a group of secret spies responded at the same time:
"Yes!"
…
…
The afternoon passed in a blink of an eye.
As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, the capital city was covered with darkness.
Zhaoyamen.
Zhao Duan dressed neatly, carefully adjusted the frost sword hanging on his waist, and walked out of the hall.
He smiled at the four detectives waiting outside the door:
"Let's go."
The group of people walked out of the Yamen, but happened to see Ma Yan waiting at the gate with his hands behind his back.
"The Governor!"
All the officials saluted.
Zhao Duan also clasped his fists in surprise and paid his respects to Senior Brother Xianyang.
There is no way, Ma Yan's third grade is still one level older than me.
For the time being, he is still a senior brother, not a pony.
The eunuch Ma Yan, who had a slender and stern face, grumpy and messy eyebrows, thick-jointed hands, and rarely smiled, looked at Zhao Duan and motioned to his spacious carriage: "Let's come together, tonight is your celebration party. , I also benefit from your honor.”
