Set off.
Still with three teams.
Safety first. Never sloppy.
The distance from Tianjin Wei to Kailuan Coal Mine is not that far.
About a hundred kilometers.
It took almost three hours by train to arrive.
"It's right in front."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong silently monitored the map.
The map showed that there was a small red dot at the platform in front.
In other words, there is a Japanese.
incredible.
The Japanese invaders actually lurked on the platform?
It looks like he is still standing in the middle of the welcoming team? Or the front row?
No wonder the British couldn't find Japanese spies themselves. Emotional spies have already lurked among the top British people. Keep the news posted. How to check?
"Bang bang..."
"Bang bang..."
The train slowed down slowly.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope. Search target.
I quickly settled on a Chinese person. He is the hidden Japanese invader.
Hand the binoculars to Mei Lu. Specify goals.
"His name is Chen Hongyu, and he is the translator in the general manager's office. This person has a great background..."
"He's Japanese."
"What?"
Mei Lu was stunned for a moment.
Chen Hongyu is actually Japanese? How can it be?
"he……"
"Looking handsome?"
"Forehead……"
Mei Lu was about to speak but stopped.
Is Zhang Yong jealous? All right. Just treat it like it is.
In fact, this Chen Hongyu is indeed very talented. So polite. White and pure. Obviously not from ordinary people.
"Who is behind him?"
"His father is Chen Gongyu of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce. He is a well-known anti-Japanese faction."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong remained calm.
He has heard of Chen Gongyu's name. He is indeed an anti-Japanese backbone.
I once donated some supplies to the 29th Army. I also have a good relationship with Zhang Kexia. Zhang Yong also had close contact with this person.
So, here comes the problem. The map does not indicate that Chen Gongyu is a Japanese invader. However, his son Chen Hongyu was a Japanese invader.
What's the secret here?
Is Chen Gongyu an undercover agent? Is he a hidden traitor?
By the way, the Japanese are actually very slippery when it comes to this kind of routine.
This is the case in Shanghai.
Send people to pretend to be anti-Japanese elements, then attract the real anti-Japanese elements, and then kill them all.
The plan is very vicious.
The effect is very good.
Who would suspect that Chen Gongyu is actually a traitor?
Even if something unexpected happened to the anti-Japanese backbone who gathered around him, they would not doubt that it was Chen Gongyu's hands and feet.
Such hidden traitors are actually the most harmful.
"he……"
"You pretend you don't know anything."
"yes."
Mei Lu agreed cautiously.
Secretly, I still have lingering fears. I didn't expect that Chen Hongyu was hidden so deeply.
To be honest, she used to have a good impression of this Chen Hongyu. I once had dinner with him. Fortunately, it didn't sink at that time. Otherwise, she might suffer a big loss.
"Who is that Englishman?"
"Bob. He is the deputy general manager of Kailuan Coal Mine."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong remained calm. No special reminder.
It can be seen that this British man named Bob is looking forward to Zhang Yong's arrival.
parking.
get off.
"Mr. Bob."
"Mr. Zhang."
"please!"
"please!"
"Who is this……"
"He is our translator, Mr. Chen Hongyu."
"Mr. Chen's father-in-law is Mr. Chen Gongyu?"
"That's right. Captain Zhang knows my father?"
"I have admired his name for a long time. I have never met him."
"That's it. Please!"
"please!"
Zhang Yong and Chen Hongyuxu and Weishe.
It must be admitted that this Japanese invader disguised himself very well. There is no flaw at all.
If it weren't for the system prompt, Zhang Yong would not have thought that he would be a spy.
The British were even more unimaginable.
"Mr. Zhang, the situation is like this..."
"Please say!"
Just on the platform, Bob Zhang Yong introduced the situation.
The British do things directly. There is no such thing as catching the wind and washing away the dust. Let’s get straight to the point. Get to the point.
Bob does the beginning. Mei Lu is responsible for translation.
Then there are some details, which Chen Hongyu is responsible for adding. Obviously, as a translator, he had access to a lot of intelligence materials. The British had great confidence in him.
"Have you locked the No. 3 mining area?"
"Yes. We believe it. The missing gold, as well as the suspect, are all in the No. 3 mining area. We have isolated it."
"In that case, let's go to Mine No. 3 to have a look!"
"please!"
"please!"
A group of people drove forward in a car. Come to the No. 3 mining area.
It's gray here. Very desolate. The ground was covered in black soot. But the wind cannot blow it. It has obviously been settling for a long time.
Zhang Yong stomped his feet deliberately, but no soot flew up. Very strong.
It is said that this No. 3 mining area has been almost fully mined. Not much output. It's like abandoned. Most of the time, it is used to process slag. Therefore, the supervision is not strict. Gave some small opportunities to take advantage of. Chen Hongyu said that they suspected that thieves had entered the No. 3 mining area. Therefore, armed mine protection teams were arranged to blockade the place.
On the way here just now, Zhang Yong did see the mine protection team. There are quite a few people. fully armed.
All the equipment is Ying 77 rifles.
"Mr. Bob, where did your gold come from?" Zhang Yong asked casually.
"We refined it ourselves." Bob answered.
"Oh? Is there a gold mine here?"
"A little."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Bob clearly wasn't telling the truth. I've never heard of a gold mine here.
Even if there is a gold mine, the gold content is estimated to be very low and not worth mining. It is definitely not easy to refine more than one hundred kilograms of gold.
The reason why he asked Mei Lu what was going on with those bandits before was actually for a purpose.
Since the British did not refine gold themselves, where did it come from? Of course, it was collected from the hands of bandits. It was most likely stolen goods stolen by bandits.
The bandits were also happy to sell the gold they grabbed to the British. Get cash directly. It’s also safe.
Once the gold is in the hands of the British, it will definitely never appear again.
No one will continue to pursue it.
The British and the Japanese are both robbers. No one is more noble than anyone else.
Their fight in North China was nothing more than dog eating dog.
It's a pity that Hua Xia, as the master, can only watch a group of wolves and dogs fighting for it, but he is unable to expel it.
I'm depreesed……
But what can be done?
This was the current social situation at that time. Even great people cannot change in the short term.
He is a little person, what can he do?
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yong turned to look at Chen Hongyu and asked: "Why is there gold stored in the No. 3 mining area?"
"Because..." Chen Hongyu replied slowly, "It hasn't been shipped away yet."
Zhang Yong nodded, turned to Bob and asked, "When was the gold traded?"
"At the end of last month..." Bob replied subconsciously.
Then I realized that I had made a mistake.
He immediately frowned. I started to hate Zhang Yong a little bit.
I asked you to investigate the case, but I didn't ask you to ask questions and get to the bottom of it. Some things you don't even need to know.
If you think you're smart, you're just asking for trouble.
"A transaction?" Zhang Yong ignored the other party and continued to ask.
He noticed Bob's expression change, but didn't care.
Since you asked me to come, I have to ask about the situation.
If you don't want to answer, that's okay. Big deal, I won’t do it.
I'm very busy now. There's a lot to do. There is no good in doing things for you British people. It's better to catch Japanese spies.
You see, the three spies who were accidentally captured actually carried so much property. If we catch a few more of these, wouldn't we be able to make a lot of money?
The last time I took a train to Peking, Zhang Yong discovered that it could actually be done in one day.
In the morning, I took a train to Peiping to catch spies. If I caught someone, I would return immediately. If you are fast, you can come back to Tianjin Wei for dinner.
real.
It’s completely a one-day life circle!
Although his superiors did not allow him to go to Peking to make trouble. But you can go quietly by yourself!
Go in the morning and come back in the evening, no problem.
As long as there is something to gain, don't be afraid of hard work.
"Three times," Bob replied reluctantly, "but the deal is over. There's no one here anymore."
"Really?" Zhang Yong pointed to a mine, "Is there anyone in it?"
"Of course not," Bob replied. "The mine is abandoned."
Zhang Yong turned to Chen Hongyu and asked, "Are you sure there is no one?"
"We have checked. There is no one." Chen Hongyu answered affirmatively.
"Really no one?"
"There really is no one."
Chen Hongyu replied bitterly. His face looked a little dissatisfied.
This Zhang Yong is mentally ill. Ask a question several times. I said there is no one if there is no one.
People have been sent to check several times before.
Can it still appear out of thin air? absurd!
"In that case..." Zhang Yong nodded and waved to Wu Liuqi, "Rush over as fast as possible and throw grenades inside. Quick!"
"Yes!" Wu Liuqi acted immediately.
He took several people with him. Follow Zhang Yong's instructions and rush forward.
What matters is speed.
Wu Liuqi fully understood Zhang Yong's order. There are people inside.
Once they make a move, the people inside will notice it immediately. So, you have to sprint. At the same time, quickly use grenades to control the enemy.
How to control?
Blast to death!
Or get injured!
Rub rub rub rub!
Rub rub rub...
Run fast!
Close to the mine mouth.
"Throw!"
Wu Liuqi shouted loudly.
Everyone quickly took out grenades and smashed them into the mine.
There are five grenades in total. Smash them all in.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The grenade exploded.
Continuous explosions were heard.
Bob's expression changed, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Zhang Yong replied casually, "There are a few people inside. Let me see who it is."
"Is there someone inside?" Bob couldn't believe it.
Chen Hongyu's expression also changed, and he shouted reflexively, "Impossible!"
"Let's go and have a look!" Zhang Yong said calmly, "Is there anyone there? Can't we tell if there is anyone? Maybe there is really one?"
Bob hesitated to speak.
Chen Hongyu also hesitated to speak. Eyes twinkling.
Zhang Yong moved forward slowly.
At this moment, Wu Liuqi and the others had already drilled into the mine to search.
Soon, they dragged out several bodies.
Two have been killed. But three are still alive. Temporarily unconscious.
Bob's face suddenly turned ugly.
"What's going on? Who are they?" he yelled angrily.
No one answered for a long time.
Bob's face became even more gloomy.
Suddenly he turned around and stared at Chen Hongyu.
Chen Hongyu's face suddenly turned blue and white.
Lips move. can not explain.
These people have nothing to do with him. He literally came out of nowhere.
Obviously several searches have been arranged. Why is there still someone hiding? What are these guys doing hiding here? What are they from?
"Mr. Manager, it seems that he is a subordinate of Tubailang..."
"Oil White Wolf..."
Bob's face suddenly became darker.
Everyone around him quietly stayed away from him. Apparently he was worried about a violent outburst.
Chen Hongyu hid behind Bob even more quietly. This position is safe and cannot be hit.
Only Zhang Yong showed no reaction.
The white wolf? Judging from the name, he must be a bandit.
It turns out that those hiding in the mine are actually bandits. These grenades were not in vain. Most of the bandits deserve to die.
It's a pity that people were killed and knocked unconscious, but nothing was gained.
The only effect is to scare the monkeys and show off in front of Bob. Let him never dare to talk nonsense again.
Japanese spy Chen Hongyu seemed to have shut up.
However, such pretense is of no use. There is no real benefit.
Cao Mengqi led people to search the mine again, but found nothing.
There's just some trash in there. There was also trash, nothing of value.
"They..." Bob hesitated.
"Mr. Bob, I think the lost gold may not be in the No. 3 mining area." Zhang Yong said.
Bob was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Okay. Let's go back to the headquarters first. If we want to search the entire mining area, it may take a long time. I originally thought the results would be available in a week."
Zhang Yong nodded and said bluntly: "Mr. Bob, people's motivation is linked to money. The young men I brought here are all very capable. If you can pay one pound per person per day..."
"Impossible!" Bob shook his head flatly.
One pound per person per day? More than fifty people. That's over fifty pounds a day?
no. Absolutely not. He has no such right.
"That's a pity." Zhang Yong didn't feel embarrassed.
I do things for you and you pay me. It's natural.
Others are embarrassed to say it, but I will say it.
Not even giving up a pound is too stingy. Such a boss, to be honest, is not willing to serve.
"Mr. General Manager!"
"Mr. Pearson!"
Suddenly, there were people nearby saying hello intensively.
Zhang Yong turned around. Saw another Englishman arriving. Very easy to identify. I have rosacea.
Pearson?
General manager?
Is that the biggest boss of Kailuan Coal Mine?
good. Talk to the big boss directly.
"I'll give you five hundred pounds," Pearson said, "as the cost of the investigation. No refund for any excess, no compensation for any shortage."
"Deal!" Zhang Yong agreed.
Five hundred is five hundred. better than nothing. That way you don’t have to leave empty-handed.
Bob hesitated to speak.
Pearson immediately sent for five hundred pounds.
All denominations are £1 notes. Five hundred in total. Divided into ten piles. 50 sheets per stack.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong took all the pounds.
Then he took out three stacks and untied them. Give each person two first.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. Let’s set a base of 2 pounds first, and then everyone will be motivated!
Mei Lu frowned slightly and took two pounds.
It feels like Zhang Yong's behavior seems a bit out of line. Giving out money on the spot is too high-profile.
However, Zhang Yong has such a character.
Don't mess with me. I just want money.
As long as the money is in place, the emperor will be useless. Who said this line? I, Zhang Yong said it!
so……
Guys, get ready to call Hurrah!
"Then let's get started!" Pearson obviously wasn't a hard worker. "I hope to hear the good news as soon as possible..."
"Wait a minute! Mr. Pearson, I'm going to catch some spies..."
"What?"
Pearson was stunned.
Spy?
Japanese?
Where?
Why didn't he notice?
Bob:? ? ?
Chen Hongyu:? ? ?
The two of them also looked at each other. Where are the spies?
Chen Hongyu was even more confused. He didn't know that there were other spies hiding around him. real.
He lurked in alone. Only responsible for delivering information. No responsible actions.
There must be other spies in the huge Kailuan Coal Mine. But Chen Hongyu thought that they should be quite far away from him.
Who knew that Zhang Yong sounded like there was a spy nearby?
eccentric……
It couldn't have been done by myself?
It is impossible to see through yourself.
I saw Zhang Yong pointing at a worker more than 30 meters away and shouting: "Are you coming here by yourself? Or should I go over and arrest you?"
The worker seemed unresponsive.
After a moment, he looked around suspiciously. Confused.
Zhang Yong sneered.
Pack!
I'll let you pretend!
Pretending not to hear? Pretending to think it wasn't you?
hehe. It's you I'm calling! I caught you too! Grab a few small ones first. Then arrest Chen Hongyu!
Waving his hands, Wu Liuqi and the others rushed over.
At the same time, he continued: "Hey, where is your hometown? Is it Sapporo, Hokkaido, or Shizuoka, Kyushu..."
Suddenly, the worker turned around and ran away. Disappeared instantly.
But it turned into the corner next to it. Suddenly disappeared.
Pearson:? ? ?
Bob:? ? ?
what's the situation? Why did he turn around and run?
Then reacted.
Farke!
That guy is Japanese!
He was screened out by Zhang Yong. Scared. So run away.
Farke!
"catch him!"
"catch him!"
Pearson and Bob shouted in unison.
