This cargo really has a lot of stuff.
Medicines, opium, rubber...even some weapons were found.
"There."
Tian Qi pursed his lips to the left.
You have to look very carefully to find a very hidden cabin in the cabin.
Meng Shaoyuan pulled out his gun, came to the secret cabin, and knocked: "Come out."
No one came out.
"If you don't come out, you'll throw grenades."
"Don't throw it, don't throw it, let's come out! Let's come out!"
A man's voice came out.
The door of the secret cabin was opened from the inside.
A young man climbed out.
But then, another woman climbed out.
He was probably around 20 years old, and he was pretty and handsome.
What's going on?
Meng Shaoyuan and Tian Qi looked at each other: "Who are you? Smugglers?"
"No, no." The man said hurriedly: "My name is Li Hui, and her name is Xia Wen. We...we eloped from Guangzhou."
Elopement?
I've only seen it in movies and TV, but I didn't expect to see it for real this time.
"That's not right. Just elope. What are you doing hiding in a smuggler's boat?" Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.
Li Hui sighed: "Xia Wen's father is very powerful in Guangzhou. If we elope, he will definitely send people to arrest us. And from Guangzhou to Shanghai, there are people from her father along the way. So I found this We paid a sum of money and hid it in the boat. We thought we would be safe in Shanghai."
That's it.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't see any flaws.
I called some of Tao Jianbao's men in and asked. Tao Jianbao knew about this. It was really such a situation.
Tao Jianbao was so jealous of the money that he brought two people back with him. It was nothing if they could make a fortune.
This young couple is very honest and obeys the rules on the boat.
Come out during mealtime and take ten minutes out of the day to go out on the deck and bask in the sun.
If the ship docked for supplies, it would definitely hide in the dark cabin to prevent Xia Wen's father from discovering it.
A pair of little mandarin ducks.
"It's done, we are not Xia Wen's father's people." Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to embarrass them: "Let's go. I'll have someone take you to the train station later and buy a ticket to Shanghai. This ship has been impounded."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Hui bowed repeatedly: "Xia Wen, thank you sir."
Xia Wen was very afraid of strangers and kept hiding behind Li Hui. She was probably worried that her father would suddenly chase her out, right?
At this time, he came in front of him and bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan.
Li Hui took Xia Wen's hand and bowed.
wrong!
has a problem!
When Li Hui took Xia Wen's hand, he squeezed it hard quietly.
Now that she already knows that she is not the person sent by her father, why is Xia Wen still so scared?
What is he afraid of?
Li Hui's hand was giving Xia Wen courage, reminding her that they were about to pass the test.
Moreover, Meng Shaoyuan recalled there that when he questioned Li Hui just now, his answer was calm and composed, with no flaws at all. When he first saw him, he should be somewhat worried.
But he was too calm.
Unexpectedly, even I didn't notice any expression on his face.
This is not the reaction a normal person would have.
unless……
This person is professionally trained in this area.
"Do you have any luggage with you?" Meng Shaoyuan asked nonchalantly: "I told you that the ship was going to be impounded, so you should take out your luggage as soon as possible."
"Hey, okay, okay."
Li Hui climbed into the secret cabin again and soon took out a rattan box.
"Wait a minute." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "According to the rules, routine inspections are still required."
"Okay, okay." Li Hui immediately put the rattan box aside.
The box was opened.
Clothing, daily necessities, some money.
Nothing unusual.
Meng Shao originally had his back to them. He checked the box for a while, quietly took out something, then pretended to put it under his clothes, "searched" it out, raised it, turned his head sharply, and said sternly :
"Xia Wen, what is this? Catch him!"
That's a pistol!
Xia Wen was shocked and immediately used her body to protect Li Hui: "Ming Haijun, run!"
Narumi-kun?
"Li Hui" sighed, then showed a wry smile:
"When did we ever carry weapons?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
There is indeed nothing unusual in the box, but Master Meng will frame him.
He had long seen that Xia Wen was timid, so he took out his pistol and pretended to belong to the other party. When he turned around, he yelled "Xia Wen".
A person who is highly nervous and worried about being exposed at any time will definitely react instinctively and truly.
Sure enough, Xia Wen's reaction exposed everything.
Tian Qi's gun was already aimed at two people.
"Outside, I think they are all their people, we can't escape." "Li Hui" took Xia Wen's hand and pulled her to his side:
"I have no weapons and pose no threat to you."
"Put it down, put it down." Meng Shaoyuan was not worried at all and asked Tian Qi to put down the gun: "Minghai-kun, are you Japanese? The Japanese usually call them by their last name, Narumi? It should be your first name, right? You are so affectionate, you are really a couple. Come on, tell me honestly, what is your name, to save everyone the trouble."
"Li Hui" kept holding Xia Wen's hand: "My name is Shimamoto Narumi."
"What about you?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at Xia Wen: "Is your name really Xia Wen?"
"Yes, his name is really Xia Wen." Shimamoto Narumi sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with her, please don't embarrass her."
"We're not bad people."
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I came here to investigate smuggling, but I caught a Japanese, which is interesting. Come on, come back with us to assist in some investigations. It's interesting, it's interesting."
"My name is Shimamoto Narumi, a native of Chiba, Japan. I joined the intelligence agency very early and was affiliated with the Army Ministry. The year before last, I entered the Guangzhou Secret Service..."
As soon as he entered the interrogation room, Shimamoto Narumi confessed to pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and the content of his confession was completely unexpected.
Actually a spy?
A spy was found during the smuggling investigation?
Tian Qi couldn't help but look at Meng Shaoyuan, Team Leader Meng was really lucky.
"Keep talking."
Meng Shaoyuan didn't look surprised at all.
"I directly accept the command of Guangzhou Secret Service Chief Oka Saho..." It seems that Shimamoto Narumi is not planning to hide anything:
"Last month, Director Ooka gave me a task... It must be noted that we successfully instigated the rebellion of a Chinese official named Xia Qingyan..."
Xia Qingyan provided a lot of information to the Japanese, and Narumi Shimamoto was responsible for all this information.
He went in and out of Xia's house many times, and as a businessman from Japan, he met Xia Wen and gradually fell in love with this Chinese girl.
After Chen Jitang failed to flee to Hong Kong, Xia Qingyan's life began to become difficult. Moreover, he had betrayed so much information, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Therefore, he found Ooka Saho and said that he would not cooperate with them again in the future and that everyone should just pretend that they did not know each other and stop interacting with them.
Isn't this a fool? Meng Shaoyuan thought this in his heart.
Is it inappropriate to be a traitor? Do you think your master will let you go?
Sure enough, when Ooka Saho heard about it, he knew that sooner or later he would surrender to the National Government and would threaten the survival of the Guangzhou secret service, so he shot Xia Qingyan immediately.
Then, Shimamoto Narumi and two other agents were sent to kill the Xia family and silence them.
After that, just like the bloody dramas Meng Shaoyuan had watched in his own time, Ooka Saho couldn't bear to kill Xia Wen, so he ran away with her.
Damn it, it's too bloody.
I never expected that I would encounter such a bloody plot.
Not to mention, in real history, such a thing did happen, but Meng Shaoyuan would never have thought that he would actually encounter it.
Shimamoto Narumi knew that Ooka Saho would not let them go, and the best way was to leave Guangzhou.
So, he paid a large sum of money and boarded Tao Jianbao's smuggling ship.
He also knew that Ooka Saho would definitely notify the Japanese spies along the way and find ways to hunt them down, so he decided to run all the way to Shanghai and then find a way to leave China.
"You won't run to Hong Kong?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Wouldn't it be faster to run from Guangzhou to Hong Kong?"
"That's not safe." Shimamoto Narumi replied calmly: "In Hong Kong, Ooka Saho is more powerful and it is easier to find us. It is safest to run out of Shanghai. Dragons and snakes are mixed there, and we There are more opportunities.”
"Well, that seems to be the case." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I'm Shimamoto. I've caught a lot of Japanese spies, but not many of them can explain things as readily as you do. Why?"
"For Xia Wen." Shimamoto Narumi smiled bitterly: "Now that you know that I am Japanese, you will not let me go. I can endure your torture and interrogation, but unfortunately, Xia Wen is my weakness, and I don't want to Seeing her hurt in any way. If that's the case, why don't I tell it all?"
"You have spoken out. I know you are a Japanese spy, and I will not let you go."
"This may be the only way for Xia Wen and I to save our lives now." Shimamoto Narumi said calmly: "Are you also a spy? You need my information. I know the Guangzhou secret service very well, and I will cooperate with you. . But the premise is to ensure the safety of Xia Wen and I."
Meng Shaoyuan asked slowly: "That's the truth, but I have a question. What if you did it on purpose and used a trick to kill people? What kind of secret agents, hunting and killing, are they all acting there?"
"You can doubt us so much." Shimamoto Narumi smiled bitterly: "You can also detain us and wait until the investigation is clear before making a decision. If you are really worried, you can kill me, but I beg you, don't To hurt Xia Wen, this is my only request."
"Temporarily detained." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "I will ask our colleagues in Guangzhou to assist us in the investigation."
