Chapter 1726 The value of people
"Yeah?"
"Yes, these are Li Shiqun's exact words."
Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh".
"The ministry can confirm that Shi Zhongqi was killed by Li Shiqun. Otherwise, how could a good man die just because he was dead?"
Ni Duocheng said angrily.
"He must have been killed by Li Shiqun." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "As for Li Shiqun, he wanted to leave an escape route for himself, but he was afraid of the Japanese.
How could Shi Zhongqi be released? Even if a corpse is used to impersonate him, the Japanese are not fools and will definitely check him. By that time, Li Shiqun will probably end up like Wu Sibao."
Ni Duocheng didn't quite understand: "Then he could just reject me outright."
"He won't do it because he needs to leave a way out for himself."
Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "He asked you to bring that sentence to me before he had time to interrogate Shi Zhongqi! The meaning of this sentence is very interesting.
He also knew that we had actually been prepared for Shi Zhongqi's life and death. Shi Zhongqi could be killed, but he could not fall into the hands of the enemy. He was the station chief and knew too much top-secret information!
Therefore, Shi Zhongqi died before he could be interrogated, and the secret information he knew was kept. Ni Duocheng, are there any injuries on Shi Zhongqi’s body?"
"No." Ni Duocheng said with certainty: "The staff carefully looked at Shi Zhongqi's body. He was neatly dressed and there were no wounds on the exposed areas."
At this point, he hesitated: "But what if Shi Zhongqi rebelled as soon as he was arrested?"
"It is possible." Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said, "You can basically judge this just by looking at the losses we have suffered. But from my perspective, I still believe Li Shiqun's words."
Li Shiqun adopted a special method.
He did not dare to release Shi Zhongqi.
He would rather choose to kill Shi Zhongqi to release his "goodwill" to the military commander.
Li Shiqun could confirm that Ni Duocheng had close contacts with Jun Tong, and as long as he was in contact with Jun Tong, he could not avoid Meng Shaoyuan.
So, he did this.
He was sure that this news would reach Meng Shaoyuan's ears, and Meng Shaoyuan would also understand his "painstaking efforts".
Meng Shaoyuan felt that he still underestimated Li Shiqun.
He asked Ni Duocheng to test Li Shiqun's attitude, and he was already prepared:
Li Shiqun continued to be a traitor with all his heart.
Or, quietly release Shi Zhongqi!
But he didn't expect that Li Shiqun actually chose the third method.
"He is a very smart man. Wu Sibao's death gave him a great stimulus. He began to prepare for the future, but he definitely did not want to break up with the Japanese at this time."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "He used unexpected methods to protect himself to the maximum extent. My judgment was also wrong to a certain extent."
"Boss." Ni Duocheng asked tentatively: "He owes us money?"
"Old Ni, take a long-term view." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "The money lent to Li Shiqun was originally for today's service. The money he owes you will be written off."
Although Ni Duocheng agreed, his boss was unhappy in his heart.
This would be too cheap for Li Shiqun.
A person like Li Shiqun should be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts without losing his temper.
"You know, Lao Ni." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled strangely: "Everyone has a first time before they fall. My metaphor is not accurate. Li Shiqun has already fallen. It should be said that Li Shiqun is destroying
The first step has been taken on the road to success. But once the first step is taken, he can't take it back."
Ni Duocheng didn't quite understand: "What's the next step? What should the staff department do? Simply report this matter to the Japanese secretly. I also have friends among the Japanese."
"Now, I can't kill him."
Meng Shaoyuan said flatly: "Well, since Li Shiqun dares to do this, he has made full preparations, and the Japanese can't do anything to him.
Lao Ni, from now on, you will continue to keep in close contact with Li Shiqun. If he encounters financial difficulties again, you can still lend him money. You can even cooperate with him in some business fields."
"This is too cheap for him."
Ni Duocheng muttered.
"It gave him an advantage." Meng Shaoyuan looked very much in agreement: "But you have to remember that a person's destruction often begins at this time. Li Shiqun is a smart man, but he is too smart.
Smart people have one thing in common, they always like to use the smallest cost to get the highest return, like me. But if this speed is not mastered well, it will only be a matter of time before it collapses."
"Understood."
Ni Duocheng knows his identity and responsibilities. No matter what he has to do, he just needs to do it according to the boss' instructions.
He bowed to Meng Shaoyuan, then bowed to Wu Jingyi, who had been sitting on the sofa without saying a word, and then left.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at his back, and after a while, asked: "What do you think of Ni Duocheng?"
"He is calm and experienced in his work. Although he is not a registered member of the military command, his abilities are not inferior to others at all." Wu Jingyi quickly replied.
"I said, this person may rebel in the future, do you believe it?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly asked.
Wu Jingyi did not answer.
She believes it.
Master Meng can never be wrong about people.
Since he said this person would rebel, he would definitely rebel.
"This man is so smooth." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "He is just a wallflower. Although he is helping us with things now, if the situation changes in the future, he will know where to turn."
Wu Jingyi frowned: "Then you still want to use him so much?"
"It's not reuse, but to drag Li Shiqun down, we have to rely on people like Ni Duocheng." Meng Shaoyuan mused: "He and Li Shiqun are essentially the same, but they are currently choosing to be loyal to different people.
He knows everyone, including us, Japan Special Forces, No. 76, and the Wang Puppet Regime in Nanjing. Everything he does is just to protect himself, and I really don’t blame him.
For such a person, it depends on how you make good use of him. Before he betrays openly, exploit all the available areas in him and extract the last bit of his value. Then, this person will be of little use to us.
"
After saying that, he asked Wu Jingyi again: "Have my people arrived in the Philippines?"
Wu Jingyi knew that he was asking six young agents: "So far, there is no news. Don't worry, Gan Ning and Xu Zhu will be there to meet them. Shao Yuan, why are you constantly sending people to the Philippines?
What?"
