Chapter 17



"Brother Chen?" Jiang Ye came over with a smile on her face. Just as she was about to tell Han Jingchen that there was progress, she saw him hurriedly coming out holding Pei Manning.

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Brother Chen, what happened to Comrade Pei? Did she faint?"

Pei Manning's face was pale, her eyelashes drooped, her arms hung limply, and she lay in Han Jing's thoughts with her eyes closed, like a daffodil that was about to wither.

"Stop talking nonsense, go in and take the cup out, then drive the car." Han Jingchen walked out quickly with a stern face.

"Oh ok, let's go now!"

When they got in the car, Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask cautiously while driving, "Brother Chen, you didn't torture Comrade Pei to extract a confession, did you?"

This shouldn’t be the case, he wondered, Brother Chen is not that kind of person!

Not to mention he was dealing with a powerless lesbian.

After not hearing Brother Shen's answer for a long time, he couldn't help but turn his head.

But when he turned around, he was stunned. Han Jingchen's tall figure was leaning over Pei Manning, unbuttoning her coat. Then, as if he saw something, he froze there.

Jiang Ye's eyes widened instantly and he stammered, "Brother Chenchenchen, why are you taking off Comrade Pei's clothes?"

He turned the steering wheel and almost drove the car into the tree beside him.

Han Jingchen carried Pei Manning into the car, rolled down the window to let in some air, and then quickly unbuttoned the two buttons on the collar of Pei Manning's cotton jacket to allow her to breathe more freely.

As a result, just as he unbuttoned his collar, a small pendant slipped out from his lapel.

The gourd looked like half a gourd, transparent white, with the mouth of the gourd slightly bent to the right and tied with a red rope, hanging on the snow-white and graceful neck.

He paused for a moment, then narrowed his dark eyes and stared at the gourd pendant. This pendant...

"Brother Chen?" Jiang Ye was surprised again.

Han Jingchen put the collar of the fallen clothes back, reached out and lifted Pei Manning's neck, tilted her head back slightly so that she could keep her airway open in a coma, and glanced at Jiang Ye, "Watch the road, hurry up!"

"Oh ok!"

The two of them drove Pei Manning to the hospital inside the military district in less than five minutes.

After Pei Manning fell into a coma, Han Jingchen performed a preliminary examination on her. Her heart was beating too fast and her limbs were cold, but she could still breathe on her own.

He told the doctor about Pei Manning's condition in detail. The doctor pushed the bed into the emergency room and checked Pei Manning's pupils. "I understand. I will give her a detailed examination first."

Fortunately, the medical equipment in the military hospital is more advanced than that in general hospitals and can perform electrocardiograms and cardiac ultrasounds.

Han Jingchen and Jiang Ye were waiting outside.

"Brother Chen, is Comrade Pei sick?" At this time, Jiang Ye had already seen that there must be something wrong with Pei Manning's body.

Han Jing sat on a chair in the corridor, his eyes fixed on the direction of the emergency room, and he kept thinking in his mind, where had he seen the gourd pendant before?

With something on his mind, 껩 had no intention of talking to Jiang Ye. "I'm not sure. I'll tell you after the test results come out."

After waiting for half an hour, the door of the emergency room opened and the medical staff transferred Pei Manning to the ward. "Her condition has stabilized for the time being. Her heart rhythm suddenly became irregular, but no problems were found in her heart for the time being. Other tests showed no abnormalities. Tell me, what did she do before she fell into a coma?"

Han Jingchen: "Accept the trial."

Doctor Yang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Have you eaten anything?"

Han Jingchen motioned for Jiang Ye to hand the cup to the doctor, "Drink a glass of water with this cup."

Doctor Yang took the cup, looked at it, and nodded, "Okay, I'll check the remaining liquid in it later."

Han Jingchen glanced at Pei Manning lying on the hospital bed. She closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and seemed to be in pain. "When will she wake up?"

"It's hard to say. In addition to her heartbeat disorder, she is also overly tired," said Doctor Yang, putting down his pen and medical report, and solemnly said, "You should pay close attention to her condition from now on. Don't let her get emotional. Her condition is very dangerous. Once the heart is overloaded, she may have cardiac arrest at any time."

Han Jingchen frowned deeply. Is it so serious?

If cardiac arrest is not treated within a few minutes, it may cause irreversible organ failure or brain death.

Han Jingchen and Jiang Ye stayed in the ward for a while, and left when Pei Manning's condition was completely stable and there were no more sudden heartbeat abnormalities.

Pei Manning couldn't get too many clues for the time being, but Yuan Weicheng had a lot of gains.

Over the past few years, Yuan Weicheng has gone to Shajiaba Farm twice a year, but he has only delivered things for Cheng Hao twice. This is actually the second time.

The other party was very cautious and spent some time to gain Yuan Weicheng's trust, but did not ask Yuan Weicheng for help frequently.

If they had not intercepted a secret message before and found the clue of Yuan Weicheng, they would not have targeted him.

"Comrade, everything that should be handed in has been handed in. I really don't know what is hidden inside." Yuan Weicheng was extremely nervous.

He knew very well what the consequences would be if he was identified as a spy.

"Who else did Cheng Hao come into contact with during his time there?"

Yuan Weicheng thought for a moment, "His father died after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Apart from his mother, the people he interacted with the most were the people at Xinhua Bookstore." Suddenly, he remembered something, "Oh, I remembered something. I wonder if it's useful."

"You say."

"About a year and a half ago, he went on a business trip to Shanghai and stayed there for a month, bringing back a batch of books from the publishing house."

The two reviewers looked at each other and asked, "When exactly? Which publisher?"

"After Labor Day, as for the publishing house? It should be... Shanghai Publishing House."

The staff asked several more detailed questions, and Yuan Weicheng answered them one by one.

"What is your relationship with Comrade Pei Manning? How did you meet? How much do you know about her?"

"Ah?" Yuan Weicheng was a little confused.

What does this matter have to do with Comrade Pei?

He said truthfully, "Comrade Pei came to the bookstore to read a book before, and I accidentally bumped into her once, and that's how we got to know each other, but about her... I'm not sure, comrades, Comrade Pei, is he a spy?"

He asked cautiously.

The censor did not answer but asked, "What kind of books does she read when she comes to the bookstore?"

Yuan Weicheng frowned and thought for a moment, "She reads a wide variety of books, including law, history, geography, Chinese plantation and breeding... She reads all kinds of books."

The staff asked a series of questions, and asked them repeatedly in a random order. Yuan Weicheng was almost mentally collapsed, but his testimonies were consistent.

"Okay, that's all for today. We will verify the information you provided as soon as possible. You cannot leave until it is verified."

Yuan Weicheng was very cooperative: "Okay, okay, I will obey the organization's arrangements! If the organization tells you to go east, you will never go west. If the organization tells you to stay, you will definitely not leave!"

Staff: "..."

After the review was over, Yuan Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Captain Han, Special Agent Song, these are the things we found in Zhou Bangguo's basement." Jiang Ye and others carried over the document bag, telegraph and hand-cranked generator.

Both machines were left over from more than ten years ago. They are still in working order, but they are old and very bulky.

Originally, this mission had nothing to do with their flight squadron, as they were not involved in intelligence operations. However, Han Jingchen had shot down an electronic reconnaissance aircraft during a night flight in Shanghai airspace before, and happened to have intercepted some intelligence.

Then, a series of events unfolded. Jiang Ye didn't know the details, but they had been sealed as secret files anyway.

Now, the situation is urgent. Everyone in their independent flying brigade must fully cooperate with the task force to quickly decipher the other side's secret message.

"Why can't they catch the criminals by using the method of power outage in different areas? It turns out they have hidden the generator!" The person in charge of intelligence work stepped forward and patted the old hand-cranked generator.

"Okay, let's get down to business," Song Qiubai took the file bag and took out the contents, letting everyone present be mentally prepared. "Their password system is complicated, and all secret messages will be doubly encrypted. After the initial encryption, the second encryption will use a one-time key."

The so-called one-time key is a one-time random codebook. The key is the same length as the plaintext. There is no algorithm or mathematical structure, and it is completely impossible to decipher mathematically.

In theory, the plaintext transmitted by the sender and receiver is encrypted using the same temporary random key, and the key changes each time and cannot be calculated, ensuring the absolute security of the intelligence.

The only way to crack the ciphertext is to find a one-time password.
