Before Chang Shunbao returned to Longxing, these people in Shanghai believed that Wan Qili in Longxing would find ways to get the penicillin sample from Niu Yanzi. This was also one of the two important things that Su Bai told Chang Shunbao to do when he returned to Longxing. Once it was discovered that Wan Qili had stolen the sample, Liu Yiyan would send someone down the mountain to do something sneaky and take the sample back.

Xu Tianyi was still waiting with great interest to hear Chang Shunbao explain how Liu Yiyan had gotten the medicine back.

No one expected that Wan Qili never mentioned the matter of getting medicine to Niu Yanzi. After returning to Longxing, she didn't even meet Niu Yanzi a few times, and they only met in the ancestral hall. Wan Qili had never been to the Li Mansion once.

I have never come into contact with the medicine.

Not only did he not mention the medicine to Niu Yanzi, but even the streptomycin under her bed was not touched. Chang Shunbao carefully checked the quantity according to what Su Bai told him, and not a single one was missing.

"Strange, right?" Chang Shunbao asked. Xu Tianyi nodded repeatedly and said that Wan Qili's behavior was too abnormal.

Only Zi Yan said something that made Su Bai stunned for a moment: "We thought she was a spy, so we thought it was strange that she didn't steal the medicine. What if she is not a spy?"

Yes, did I misunderstand her?

Su Bai was just thinking about it when Chang Shunbao said, "If she wasn't a spy, who would she send the telegram to?"

Regarding whether Wan Qili had secretly used the radio, Chang Shunbao asked Yuan Yuze to specifically ask Kong Man.

Kong Man and Kong Yun didn't know about the affairs of the Li Mansion, so Chang Shunbao asked Yuan Yuze and Kong Dai to take care of the affairs regarding Kong Man and Kong Yun.

Zi Yan interrupted, "Should he pretend not to know? We've been gone for such a long time, can Kong Dai not tell the eldest and second young ladies about the Li Mansion?"

Su Bai felt that Zi Yan was right. Kong Dai and the second young lady were in cahoots. It had been two and a half months, and these two should have known about it long ago.

Let's pretend to be confused together.

"Hurry up and tell me, what did the young lady say?" Xu Tianyi urged.

Chang Shunbao pretended to be mysterious and said: "She has used the radio, and more than once!"

"Then she is still a spy. She didn't steal the medicine because she felt it was not the right time!" Xu Tianyi said immediately.

Su Bai pushed Xu Tianyi's head away and asked Chang Shunbao to continue.

Two and a half months ago, shortly after Su Bai left Longxing, Kong Man moved the radio to her house for ease of use.

In order to meet Huang Wenchang more conveniently, the Sixth Aunt lived in Linhua Trading Company and became half the manager of the company.

In this way, Kong Man and Kong Yun didn't have to stay in the trading company every day. They would go to Linhua almost every other day. Since they had to send telegrams at night, they basically stayed in the Kong Mansion.

After Wan Qili returned to Longxing, she would always send her maid away during the day when Kong Man went to Linhua and was not at the Kong Mansion, and secretly use the radio.

She did it very cleverly every time, and when the maid came back, she had already put away the radio.

But once, the maid caught her doing this, and she told her to apply some lubricant to the radio, as it would get rusty after a long time.

The maid didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't tell Kong Man.

After Yuan Yuze asked this, Kong Man asked the maid and she understood. Every time she found an excuse to send the maid away, she was secretly sending a message.

"How many times?" Su Bai asked.

"Several times, at least five or six times!" Obviously, either Chang Shunbao did not let Yuan Yuze ask clearly, or the maid could not remember how many times it happened.

But that's enough.

This alone is enough to conclude that Wan Qili is a spy, or someone working for a spy.

To whom was her telegram addressed?

There are two possibilities, one is the Wan family father and son, and the other is the person behind her.

Su Bai believed that if the signal was sent to the Wan father and son, the two of them must not have used their own radio to receive it, which meant that they had another radio.

"I don't think it's Manager Wan. I heard that a radio now costs 4000 yuan, which is more expensive than a car!" Zi Yan said.

"How do you know that Manager Wan can't come up with 4000 yuan?" Xu Tianyi immediately expressed a different opinion. He believed that if Wan Qili was helping an organization, someone would naturally provide the radio station.

Su Bai nodded, basically agreeing.

No matter whether Wan Qili sent the message to her father and brother or to the people behind her, she can no longer be trusted.

But on the surface, he still had to continue to pretend that he had to be responsible for shipping goods to the company in Linhua, and Wan Jiaqi had to be responsible for receiving telegrams for himself.

However, this telegram has been changed to be sent once a day, at 9:00 a.m.

After Chang Shunbao returned this time, he had already agreed with Zhou Beiwang according to Su Bai's request that private telegrams would be sent at noon every day in the future.

If Zhou Beiwang really returned to Longxing to become the battalion commander of the regular army, and had a new radio station, he would also send a report to inform Su Bai at this time.

After receiving Su Bai's telegram, Zhou Beiwang will ask Qian Rufei to go to Li's house to find Xiao Wei, and then ask him to tell Niu Yanzi or Kong Man.

Not afraid of Wan Qili knowing what had happened, he also asked Wan Jiaqi to send and receive the mail at nine in the morning.

Chang Shunbao did a very good job and even brought back the code book.

But he didn't get it from Kong Man, he asked Zhou Beiwang to help him find it.

He thought that it would be too inconvenient to go through Yuan Yuze and Kong Dai to find Kong Man, and it was difficult to tell what Kong Man wanted the code book for, so he took the initiative to ask Zhou Beiwang for help.

"Smart!" Chang Shunbao's approach was affirmed by Su Bai. Why didn't he think of asking Zhou Beiwang for it at that time?

"And this!" Chang Shunbao took something out of his pocket and gave it to Su Bai. It was a keypad!

This allows Su Bai to practice typing Morse code without a radio, which is great.

At this moment, a newsboy's voice was heard outside the courtyard, running and shouting: "Extra Edition, Extra Edition, the Japanese army attacks Langfang, and our 29th Army fights bravely!"

Xu Tianyi hurriedly ran out to buy a copy and brought it back for Su Bai to read. The war had finally started. This time it was not an intermittent provocation, but an all-out attack.

"It's okay. We are still far from Shanghai. The 29th Army is an iron army. The Japanese didn't get any advantage during the War of Resistance at the Great Wall!" Chang Shunbao said confidently.

Xu Tianyi immediately took over, and the two of them started talking about the heroic stories of the 29th Army's Big Sword Team.

Su Bai didn't intend to spoil their fun, so they went back to Room 41 and had lunch there.

Several people usually ate there. As it was almost dinner time, Su Bai was afraid that Manager Wan might go look for him for something and would become suspicious if he found no one there.

On the way, Su Bai pulled Zi Yan aside, and after lunch, he immediately went to the pharmaceutical factory to sterilize and fill the streptomycin powder. He would go to Guangci Hospital to see Han Charlie's sister tomorrow.

I couldn't help but sigh. It seems that history has not changed, I just didn't remember the details clearly.

In this case, there is only one month left before the Battle of Shanghai on August 13. I hope that this Han Charlie can keep himself safe and wait until that day.

After returning to No. 41, Xu Tianyi and Chang Shunbao quickly bought the meal. Just as they were about to eat, Zi Yan, who had sharp ears, heard someone knocking on the gate. She hurriedly tried to help.

"Spy!" Zi Yan said, pointing outside.

"Go and see, what's the news?"

Zi Yan walked in front and Su Bai followed quietly behind.

After arriving at the door, Zi Yan replied with three quick and one slow signals.

There was no note handed in from outside, and a man asked, "Is Miss Lan here?"
