Ding Jieqiong hugged Aum for a long time, her cheek pressed against his bony chest and bearded cheeks, crying bitterly... Lolita looked at her watch, glanced at each other with Betty, and walked out of the glass door silently.Only Olmhus and Ding Jieqiong remained in the living room. For a long time, the female scientist whimpered and wept bitterly, but still hugged Aum tightly, letting her tears soak the clothes on the other's chest. Aum lightly held Joan's waist, and stroked her back, shoulder blades, and the back of her head with both hands for a long time. His slightly narrowed eyes looked over from the top of her head, looking over, with focused and bewildered eyes, as if staring or probing. Some distant constellation in the night sky.A few drops of clear tears leaked from the two deep-set eyes, and fell straight down along the dark, wrinkled and disheveled cheeks; the thin shoulders trembled violently, but remained silent, like a stone, a dead tree...

Responding to the song poem: "relatively speechless, only a thousand lines of tears!" Yes, tears are more real, more emotional, and more heartfelt than words.Talk, what are you talking about?Needless to say?Is everything between the two of them clearly expressed in words?Let those endless tears tell everything! Back then, "spies" were imprisoned, while "suspected spies" were generally placed under house arrest.The two earliest and biggest "spy suspects" were Ding Jieqiong and Olmhus.The female professor was imprisoned in Toombs Prison and Alice Island successively.Orm was interned from the start at a Marine Corps base on the Chesapeake Bay, a heavily fortified peninsula close to Washington and Baltimore for the FBI, CIA, Pentagon, War Department, Navy The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, the Permanent Investigative Committee of the Senate, and the Un-American Activities Committee of the House of Representatives will conduct "administrative investigations" on him at any time, that is, endless questioning and fatigue bombing day and night.

Ding Jieqiong is a foreigner, so the FBI arranged for her to be "disappeared".Olmhorse is an American, and has a prominent reputation and is of great importance. If he "disappears", he will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble. The president will intervene, and the press will even pester him endlessly.Therefore, measures were taken publicly on the charge of "suspicion of espionage" to restrict his personal freedom, that is, house arrest.This trick really worked, and Olmhos's image quickly dimmed.The heavy sacrifice of the army and the victory of the war inflated the patriotism of the Americans, and everyone hated the betrayal of the country by espionage.Those who speak for the Rosenbergs are mostly foreigners, recent immigrants, and "liberal intellectuals"; but none of those who speak for them, including the Pope, Collins Brown, and Einstein, think that they have At best, it only points out that there is insufficient evidence or that the sentence is too heavy.The great spy Cross Moyer returned to London after the war and was arrested and tried by the British government. He himself estimated that he would face the "death penalty". The Allies in World War II", sending information to the "Allies" is not "a spy in the strict sense" and so on...

Julius Rosenberg was a descendant of the first generation of Russian immigrants, Cross Moyer was originally a member of the German Communist Party, and several other spies were in a similar situation-that is to say, they had more or less "excusable" defection to the Soviet Union.But Olmhouse is different.How could a pure American like him betray America?It's so unreasonable! Thus, Olmhos became synonymous with "traitor" or "suspected traitor".When the staff of the security department and those who participated in the "Manhattan Project" mentioned him, the tone was contemptuous, if not contemptuous.In particular, Alan Taylor, who has been honored as the "father of the American hydrogen bomb", has been reprimanding, exposing and cursing Olmhouse for more than ten years since 1945.

The "administrative investigation" is getting worse for Olmhouse.He was shown to have had "extraordinary relationships" with Nan May, Mark, Burns and several others in "The Atomic Spy," discussing with them or providing them with information they shouldn't have top secret situation.He was also suspected of being one of the few spies who had been hidden so deeply that they knew of their existence but had never been able to be identified and captured.It was originally believed that Ding Jieqiong provided Cross Moyer with technical information on Base X. Later, MI5 confirmed that this was also done by Olmhorse—the way he "discussed" with Moyer "intentionally or unintentionally" that he should not know Case……

Olmhorse had long been in close contact with the woman, Meile, who lived in San Jose.No sooner had he been arrested than Meile escaped via Canada with the help of Soviet diplomats.Subsequent investigations confirmed that Meile was indeed a Russian spy-although this still does not prove that Olmhos had deliberately provided information to the Russians through Meile, but, well, if Meile had not escaped, the situation might be very different up! Yes, Americans are generally rough, as I saw at Alamos.But in the eyes of the FBI, Olmhos is not an ordinary American, but a man of deliberate plans and a deep city, a spy!He is engaged in espionage crimes, but he is also very cunning, and he is almost never caught. The FBI has no doubt that if it captures conclusive evidence of Olmhorse's espionage activities, that would be great, and the owner of the White House can justly declare, "As the president, I cannot violate the principles of legislation and cannot betray the United States. The trust of the people cannot ignore the fundamental interests of the United States, so this amnesty cannot be made"...

The problem is that the FBI has never been able to seize conclusive evidence of Olmhorse's espionage.Of course, huh, if Meile didn't run away... Unfortunately, the woman did!Another unavoidable factor is the attitude of the president.The president confirmed that the lack of incriminating evidence in the Rosenberg case was not due to lack of evidence, but because some key evidence could not be used in the trial to avoid exposing the "informant"; The lack of evidence in the "Olympic Case" is because the evidence itself is insufficient! The "Olympic Case" went through two presidents, Truman and Ike, just like the "Roe Case", and the two presidents held the same point of view.Although Hoover hated it, there was nothing he could do about it.

Although the FBI cannot prove Olmhoth's "espionage", it can prove that he has a "criminal motive" in this regard.After all, it is the one hundred and eighty-seven letters that Ding Jieqiong wrote to Su Guanlan-the reason why the "Olympic case" was settled is all due to these letters.And Olmhos himself "confessed" to everything involving him in the letter.But "motivation" alone cannot be used to convict, there must be facts and evidence.Hoover has always believed that the evidence you want to find will never be found!This "search" lasted for more than ten years.Olmhos was originally thin and thin, but the day and night hard work during the "Manhattan Project" made his original tuberculosis quietly relapse; after losing his freedom, he almost had a mental breakdown and his health was completely destroyed...

For major and serious cases, Hoover "does everything by himself".He arranged a "movie" for Ding Jieqiong on Alice Island, and "accompanied him to watch" it himself; shortly after Olmhouse was placed under house arrest, Hoover did something similar.During an interrogation, the one hundred and eighty-seven letters were placed in front of the doctor, arranged in chronological order, filling a large writing desk.Accompanied by several agents, Hoover sat quietly by the side, staring at Olmhus without taking his eyes off of anything else.He saw the expected scene: the doctor read letters one by one, at first he was sweating profusely and fidgeting; then he was sweating profusely and trembling all over; finally his complexion turned from sallow to pale, and he fell on the table and coughed up a big mouthful of blood!

In fact, Olmhus was not unprepared.He had long guessed that Joan had a lover in China, otherwise many things could not be explained, especially as a young, healthy and beautiful woman, why Joan could persist in a celibate life in the United States for a long time; but precisely because Joan is a young, healthy and beautiful woman Woman, Ommyth still can't explain why she can persist in celibacy in the United States for a long time.Olmhus knew that it was very difficult for men and women to do this, first of all he couldn't do it himself!More importantly, he didn't quite understand why he did this?The doctor sometimes thinks, maybe this is the difference between the two cultures, two histories and two nations of the East and the West?Hull has long hinted that Joan has a lover in China, and Joan himself has never explicitly denied this, but Aum has never taken it to heart; it is not so much whether he believes it or not, but rather whether he is willing or not. Willing, dare or dare not think deeply.People like to say that "there is only a layer of paper", and everyone knows what is on the other side of the "paper".But this layer of "paper" is essential.Once pierced, it can sometimes lead to a nervous breakdown!In front of him, the one hundred and eighty-seven love letters not only pierced through that layer of "paper", no, they were like one hundred and eighty-seven steel needles piercing through his chest and back, straight into the heart from all directions!What caused him great pain was not the words involving his "suspected espionage" and "un-American remarks" that led to his arrest, but the female scientist's deep affection for her distant lover.Olmhos persisted in reading, reading, and finally saw Ding Jieqiong confiding to her "dear brother Guanlan" in the 187th and last letter: "After all, I am still a woman, and A happy marriage—of course, marrying you and being your wife. When we get married, I will be recognized as a wife of extraordinary beauty, grace, and wisdom!"

Then he said: "I am better able to be a real woman, better able to live a woman's life and fulfill a woman's vocation. I will conceive, give birth and breastfeed after fully enjoying your caress, and raise us with you My own children, maybe two or three, maybe five or six, anyway, I want to have a few more, I don't think too many children, and I don't think you think too many. We listened happily to our sons and daughters Call you 'Daddy' and call me 'Mom'..." One hundred and eighty-seven steel needles pierced the body and organs, how many needle holes should appear!Every pinhole is bubbling blood, oozing blood outside and inside the body cavity.The blood finally gathered in the throat and gushed out! It wasn't Hoover's intention to irritate and hurt Olmhouse emotionally.He's not as bad as that.Hoover just wanted to verify those things in the letter that involved "national security" and "un-American activities."He achieved his goal.Olmhorstein admitted everything related to him that Ding Jieqiong talked about in his 187 letters, especially in order to prevent the United States from becoming militaristic, dictatorial, and trying to rule the world because of its possession of nuclear weapons. countries also have atomic bombs as a check and balance etc... Hoover asked with burning eyes: "Which country is 'other than the United States'?" Olmhorse replied: "Soviet Union." It makes no difference whether he answers or does not answer this question, admits or does not admit it.Even Ding Jieqiong knew that the country "other than the United States" could only be the Soviet Union.Ding Jieqiong also knew that providing the secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union was not "negligence" but a crime!But the fact is that Olmhos did not "provide the secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union", but only had this idea.But that's enough.From then on, Olmhos fell from the peak to the bottom all at once.As the investigation deepened, the gap continued to widen and more and more problems were exposed.On June 24, 1953, the fifth day after the Rosenbergs were executed, Olmhouse was formally indicted. The strange thing is that the prosecution has nothing to do with it, only endless house arrest.In August 1956, Olmhorse's condition worsened, and the tuberculosis lesions showed signs of cancer.It is said that under the intervention of the President, he was admitted to the hospital and received good treatment. He even underwent surgery to remove a lobe of lung, which stopped the constant hemoptysis; it is also said that under the intervention of the President, he was discharged from the hospital six months later. At the same time, his personal freedom was restored-but at the same time, he was "advised" to use a pseudonym, adopt another set of resumes, not be interviewed, keep a low profile and reclusive, regularly report to the FBI's local agencies, and so on.Of course, some things were not mentioned to him because it was not necessary to talk about them, such as phone calls would be monitored, communications would be monitored, going out would be followed, and travel must be approved.After Olmhouse accepted all these conditions, he became a "librarian" at a boarding school in the outer suburbs of Baltimore... These were all mentioned by Lolita when she visited Ding Jieqiong in Berkeley.As the "cold war" waned, the president decided to gradually improve Olmhorse's situation, she said; eventually, it seemed, there would be some way of rehabilitating him.After all, he has made important contributions to the "Manhattan Project", so important that history cannot forget him forever!As for his views on the Soviet Union, the United States, and nuclear weapons, after all, they are just "opinions" and just bookish. So far no conclusive evidence of his espionage activities has been found.The point is that today, more than ten years later, what Olmhouse knows is already "sufficiently outdated", and the atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, "G bombs" and missiles of the United States and even all major countries have long been open secrets.The more critical one may be that the president wants to leave a good name for himself... Lolita did not provide Olmhorse's exact address or phone number.She either didn't know, or she knew and didn't tell.After all, she has a "special" status, and even she has a mission to visit the female professor; Lolita knows what to say and what not to say.Of course, Ding Jieqiong didn't inquire either.She understood that her "freedom" was not much more than that of Aum.Two people under close surveillance, how and what are they talking about?In particular, she has always harbored deep guilt towards Aum.It was she who harmed Aum, and she used it in such a bizarre, cruel, and incredible way: those were not one hundred and eighty-seven ordinary letters, but they were indeed love letters, love letters, fiery love letters!She poured out her love unreservedly and unrestrainedly in those love letters. It was love for Guanlan, and it was a love that belonged to only one man, Guanlan... Ding Jieqiong never dreamed that one day these love letters would be read by Aum See, and severely hurt this kind and weak man!What she didn't expect was that there were too many words in those letters related to Aum, and the content was enough to send Dr. Olmhos to prison, and indeed sent him to prison! Ding Jieqiong stopped sobbing, stared up at the other party, cupped the other party's dark and thin face with both hands, looked at it for a long time, choked up and said: "Aum, I'm sorry for you..." Aum's tears had dried, and there were still stains on her cheeks.His bewildered eyes finally closed, and his eyes focused on Joan's face, but he remained silent and expressionless.He seemed to be asking silently: "Joan, why do you say that? What have you done to me?" "But I have no choice, Aum, my motherland is in the east, and my heart has been promised to others..." Ding Jieqiong spoke intermittently, tears welling up in his eyes, "I am an extremely loyal person. This is the decision I will never break my promises and vows in my life, and I am destined to be emotionally and spiritually tortured in my life. Forgive me, Aum, you know that I respect you and love you. But you also know that I After finishing my studies, I must go back to China. I have never concealed this from you or anyone, and have never changed my determination. After I came to the United States, you know how many men have pursued me in the past ten years, Some are down to the point of frenzy! Almost all of them are so remarkable, probably because they don't think they are worthy of courting me otherwise. The most outstanding and lovely of these men is you, of course--but I never made a move to anyone. I have never made any promises. I have never taken that step in words or demeanor. I have caused pain to many men, but I myself have suffered long and endlessly, because I am a normal, healthy man. My woman! You already know his existence and his name——Su Guanlan. When I think of my first love with him, think of his life-saving grace to me, think of how excellent he is, think of how he has always been dedicated to the suffering of the motherland. He is struggling hard, supporting and waiting for me all the time. From the photos, it can be seen that he has become extremely old and haggard... In short, when I think of this, I remind myself and encourage myself over and over again: Bring back my love flawlessly and dedicate it to him!" Orm remained silent, still looking straight at Joan. "If Su Guanlan had never appeared in my life, I would definitely choose you! Or, if the essential attribute of love does not have 'exclusiveness', but can be divided like other objects, then I may also... "As the voice stopped abruptly, Ding Jieqiong pressed her head against Aum's chest again.After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Aum with teary eyes: "I made a mistake in not telling you the truth earlier. You probably already understand that it's because I'm afraid—me, and him, this life But I was hurt. But in the end, I hurt you so much. And you are my first teacher after arriving in the United States, the best mentor after I arrived in the United States, and the mentor who climbed to the top of science! Besides, you once saved my life..." "No, Joan, dear Joan..." Orm finally spoke, with a hoarse voice emerging from the shaggy beard, not only like a dying old man, but also a full-fledged patient.As soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed violently, coughing so hard that he couldn't breathe, and his whole body was shaking.Ding Jieqiong didn't know what to do, she was so anxious that she hugged Aum and rubbed her chest and back.After several minutes, Aum stopped coughing, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and comforted Joan in turn: "It's nothing, there is no serious problem, and hemoptysis has stopped for a long time. It will be fine after coughing for a while, it will be fine. Joan, don't worry." I always said that, really, you have nothing to do to me. You are indeed a man of extreme loyalty, both to love and to the country. I often think of Goethe's words from you: "Bright woman, Guide human beings to sublimate.'In the years to come, until I leave this world, even if I am still alive at the time of death, I will be satisfied and grateful for a woman like you who I once met, once loved, and once deeply attached to ..." "Om!" "Soon you will fulfill your promise to your country and your love, and you will return to the warm embrace of your country and your lover. That is to say, after years of pain and misfortune in America, you will soon be the happiest man in the world People!" Aum choked for a long time, and said with difficulty, "Joan, when you get there, don't forget 'Aum', don't forget his blessings for you and your lover..." "Thank you, Aum." Ding Jieqiong burst into tears, "Thank you for coming to see me off, thank you for your blessing!" "Also," Aum hesitated for a moment, as if mustering up his courage, "Have you heard of Meile?" "Yes, they told me. It's nothing, Aum. Even, I should even thank her..." "Oh?" "How should I put it? Really, I am grateful to her." Ding Jieqiong chose her words carefully, "For a long time, she gave you... what you desire and need, you should have and have the right to have, but I I can’t give you and haven’t given you the comfort…” "Ah, stop talking about that. Joan, let me take a closer look at you now." Aum trembled and stammered.He held Ding Jieqiong's face in his hands, looked at it affectionately, and stroked it tenderly, "I really envy Hull! He has been to China, so he has a personal experience, and knows the beauty of that land and nation. I really want to come to China in my lifetime. Go to China once, go to see the rivers and mountains and that nation like Hull, see all the beautiful and extraordinary things, and watch how they gave birth to and raised you who are equally beautiful and extraordinary..." "There will be that day, Aum!" Ding Jieqiong's voice and expression suddenly changed, "But, what about Hull?" Aum's eloquent words suddenly stopped. "Tell me, Aum!" Ding Jieqiong grabbed Aum's two sleeves and shook vigorously, "Where's Hull, where's Hull? Where is he, and how is he?" "He, he can't come..." "Why?" Ding Jieqiong stared hard at the other party, "Tell me, why?" "He can't come," repeated Orm, "but he asked me to send you a letter, Joan." "Oh..." Ding Jieqiong breathed a sigh of relief. Aum tremblingly took out a letter. Ding Jieqiong opened the envelope, took out a few pieces of letter paper, and spread them out.Strangely, it was not Hull's own letter, but a letter typed with an English typewriter.The handwriting at the beginning immediately came into view—— "Ah!" Ding Jieqiong exclaimed.She closed her eyes, steadied herself, and turned to the last sheet of paper; there were two lines of writing, crooked and illegible.But Ding Jieqiong recognized it at a glance, yes, it was his autograph——
