Chapter 510: Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys
Departure.
Still with three teams.
Safety first. Never be careless.
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 monitors the map.
The map shows that there is a small red dot at the platform in front.
In other words, there is a Japanese.
incredible.
Japanese invaders actually lurked on the platform?
From the looks of it, he still seems to be standing in the middle of the greeting line? Or in the front row?
No wonder the British can't find Japanese spies themselves. Emotional spies have already lurked among the British high-level officials, reporting news at any time. So how can they check?
"Bang bang..."
"Bang bang..."
The train slowed down slowly.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope and searched for targets.
He quickly identified a Chinese-looking person. He was the hidden Japanese invader.
Pass the telescope to Mei Lu and indicate the target.
"His name is Chen Hongyu, and he is the translator in the general manager's office. This person has a great background..."
"He is Japanese."
"What?"
Mei Lu was stunned for a moment.
Chen Hongyu is actually Japanese? How is that possible?
"he……"
"Handsome?"
"Forehead……"
Mei Lu was about to speak but stopped.
Is Zhang Yong jealous? Okay. Just take it as such.
In fact, this Chen Hongyu does have a very talented appearance. He is gentle and fair. He is obviously not an ordinary person.
"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 had heard of Chen Gongyu's name. He was indeed an anti-Japanese stalwart.
He once donated some supplies to the 29th Army. He also had 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 was a Japanese invader. However, his son Chen Hongyu was a Japanese invader.
What's the secret here?
Is Chen Gongyu an undercover agent? 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.
I secretly had lingering fears. I didn't expect that Chen Hongyu was hidden so deeply.
To be honest, she had a bit of a crush on this Chen Hongyu before. She once had dinner with him. Fortunately, she didn't fall in love at that time. Otherwise, she might have suffered a big loss.
"Who is that Englishman?"
"Bob. He is the deputy general manager of Kailuan Coal Mine."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong remained calm and gave 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, but have never met him."
"That's it. Please!"
"please!"
Zhang Yong and Chen Hongyuxu and Weishe.
I must admit that this Japanese invader disguised himself very well. There were no flaws at all.
If it weren't for the system prompt, Zhang Yong would never have thought that he was a spy.
The British were even more unimaginable.
"Mr. Zhang, the situation is like this..."
"Please say!"
Just on the platform, Bob and Zhang Yong introduced the situation.
The British are direct in doing things. There is no saying that they can just follow the wind and wash away the dust. Get straight to the point. Go straight to the topic.
Bob is responsible for the beginning and Mei Lu is responsible for the translation.
Then there were some details, and Chen Hongyu was responsible for adding them. Obviously, as a translator, he had access to a lot of intelligence information. The British had great trust in him.
"Have you locked the No. 3 mining area?"
"Yes. We believe that the lost gold, as well as the suspects, are all in the No. 3 mining area. We have isolated them."
"In that case, let's go to the No. 3 mining area to have a look!"
"please!"
"please!"
The group of people drove forward in a car and arrived at the No. 3 mining area.
It's gray and desolate here. The ground is covered with black coal ash, but the wind can't blow it. It's obviously been settled for a long time.
Zhang Yong deliberately stamped his feet, no soot flew up. It was very strong.
It is said that this No. 3 mining area has been mined almost completely. There is no output and it is almost abandoned. Most of the time, it is used to process slag. Therefore, it is not strictly monitored, which gives some small opportunities. Chen Hongyu said,
They suspected that thieves had entered the No. 3 mining area, so they arranged for armed mine protection teams to blockade the area.
On the way here just now, Zhang Yong did see the mine protection team. There were many of them and they were fully armed.
All equipment is Ying 77 rifles.
"Mr. Bob, where did your gold come from?" Zhang Yong asked casually.
"We refined it ourselves." Bob replied.
"Oh? Is there a gold mine here?"
"A little."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Bob is obviously not telling the truth. He has 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 100 kilograms of gold.
The reason why he asked Mei Lu before about what happened to those bandits was actually for a purpose.
Since the British did not refine gold themselves, where did the gold come from? Of course it was collected from bandits, and it was most likely stolen goods stolen by bandits.
Those bandits were also happy to sell the gold they grabbed to the British. They would get cash directly and it would be safe at the same time.
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 the other.
Their struggle in North China was nothing more than dog eating dog.
It's a pity that Hua Xia, as the master, can only watch helplessly as a group of wolves and dogs fight for it, but he is unable to expel it.
I'm depreesed……
But what can be done?
The social status quo at that time was like this. Even great people could not change it 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?"
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 and began to hate Zhang Yong.
I'm asking you to investigate the case, I'm not asking you to ask questions and get to the bottom of it. There are some things that you don't need to know at all.
If you think you're smart, you'll only be asking for trouble.
"A transaction?" Zhang Yong ignored the other party and continued to ask.
He noticed Bob's expression changing, 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 am very busy now. I have a lot of work to do. There is no benefit in working for you British people. It is better to catch Japanese spies.
You see, the three spies who were accidentally captured actually carried so much property. If we capture a few more of them, 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 a round trip in one day.
In the morning, I took a train to Peiping to catch spies. If I caught someone, I would return immediately. If I was fast, I could come back to Tianjin Wei for dinner.
real.
It’s totally a one-day life circle!
Although his superiors did not allow him to go to Peking, he could go quietly!
Go in the morning and come back in the evening, it won't be a problem.
As long as you have something to gain, don't be afraid of hard work.
"Three times," Bob replied reluctantly, "but the deal is over. There is no one here anymore."
"Really?" Zhang Yong pointed to a mine, "Is there anyone in it?"
"Of course not." Bob replied, "This mine has been abandoned."
Zhang Yong turned to Chen Hongyu and asked, "Are you sure there is no one there?"
"We have checked. There is no one." Chen Hongyu answered affirmatively.
"Really no one?"
"There really is no one."
Chen Hongyu replied angrily, with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face.
This Zhang Yong is mentally ill. He asked the same question several times. I said that if there is no one, there will be no one.
It has been inspected several times before.
Can it still appear out of thin air? Ridiculous!
"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 and ran forward wildly according to Zhang Yong's instructions.
What matters is speed.
Wu Liuqi fully understood Zhang Yong's order. There was someone inside.
Once they move, the people inside will notice it immediately. Therefore, they must sprint. At the same time, use grenades to quickly 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. Hit them all.
"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 reflexively shouted, "Impossible!"
"Let's go and have a look!" Zhang Yong said calmly, "Wouldn't we know if there is anyone there? Maybe there really is one?"
Bob hesitated to speak.
Chen Hongyu also hesitated to speak. His eyes flickered.
Zhang Yong moved forward slowly.
At this moment, Wu Liuqi and the others had already drilled into the mine to search.
Soon, they dragged several bodies out.
Two have been killed, but three are still alive and 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 moving. Unexplainable.
These people have nothing to do with him. He really came out of nowhere.
We have obviously arranged several searches. Why are there still people hiding? What are these guys trying to do by hiding here? What are their backgrounds?
"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, obviously worried that he would get angry.
Chen Hongyu hid even more quietly behind Bob. This position was safe and out of reach.
Only Zhang Yong showed no reaction.
Tubailang? Judging from the name, he must be a bandit.
It turned out that those hiding in the mine were actually bandits. These grenades were not in vain. Most of the bandits deserved 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 act as a coward in front of Bob, so that he will never dare to speak nonsense again.
Japanese spy Chen Hongyu also seemed to have shut up.
However, such pretense is of no use and has no real benefits.
Cao Mengqi led people to search the mine again, but found nothing.
There was only some garbage inside. There was also waste, but 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 more than fifty pounds per 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 reward me. It's only natural.
If others are embarrassed to say it, let me say it.
It's too stingy to not even part with a pound. Such a boss, to be honest, is not happy to serve you.
"Mr. General Manager!"
"Mr. Pearson!"
Suddenly, there were people nearby saying hello intensively.
Zhang Yong turned around and saw another Englishman arriving. He was easily identifiable. He had rosacea.
Pearson?
General manager?
Is that the biggest boss of Kailuan Coal Mine?
OK. Talk to the big boss directly.
"I will give you five hundred pounds," Pearson said, "as the cost of the investigation. No refunds will be given for any excess, and no compensation for any shortage."
"Deal!" Zhang Yong agreed.
Five hundred is five hundred. It's better than nothing. This way you don't have to leave empty-handed.
Bob hesitated to speak.
Pearson immediately sent for five hundred pounds.
The denominations are all 1 pound notes. There are 500 notes in total. They are divided into ten piles, with 50 notes in each pile.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong took all the pounds.
Then take out three stacks and untie them. Each person is given two sheets first.
The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first. Let’s lay down a base of 2 pounds first, and then everyone will be motivated!
Mei Lu frowned slightly and took two pounds.
I feel like what Zhang Yong did was a bit out of line. Giving out money on the spot was too high-profile.
However, Zhang Yong has such a character.
Don't try to trick me. I just want money.
As long as the money is in place, the emperor will be useless. Who said this? I, Zhang Yong, said it!
so……
Guys, get ready to call Hurrah!
"Then let's get started!" Pearson was obviously not a hard worker, "I hope to hear good news as soon as possible..."
"Wait a minute! Mr. Pearson, I'm going to catch some spies..."
"What?"
Pearson was stunned.
Japanese spy?
Japanese?
Where?
Why didn't he notice?
Bob:???
Chen Hongyu:???
The two of them also looked at each other. Where is the spy?
Chen Hongyu was even more confused. He didn't know that there were other spies hiding around him. Really.
He lurked in alone. He was only responsible for delivering information, not taking action.
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's tone sounded like there was a spy nearby?
eccentric……
It’s impossible to do it yourself?
It is impossible to see through yourself.
I only saw Zhang Yong pointing at a worker more than thirty 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 confusedly. He was confused.
Zhang Yong sneered.
Pack!
I'll let you pretend!
Pretending not to hear? Pretending to think it wasn't you who called?
Haha. It’s you I’m calling! It’s you you’re the one I’m arresting! Let’s arrest a few small ones first, and then Chen Hongyu!
He waved his hands and asked Wu Liuqi and the others to rush 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. He disappeared instantly.
But it turned into the corner next to it and disappeared all of a sudden.
Pearson:???
Bob:???
What happened? Why did he turn around and run?
Then reacted.
Farke!
That guy is Japanese!
He was identified by Zhang Yong. He was afraid, so he ran away.
