I haven’t dealt with this God of Wealth for a long time, so I feel a bit unfamiliar.
I was a little unhappy, but it disappeared immediately.
There is no way, the other party has money.
The Kong family is in charge of the Ministry of Finance and has too many ways to make money.
Frankly speaking, the Kong family at this moment must have more personal assets than the commissioner and his wife.
He responded with a smile: "Director Kong, what do you think of me?"
"If there is no benefit to calling you in the middle of the night, I wouldn't dare!" Kong Fansong seemed to be in a very good mood.
"You said, you said, I'll do it even if I don't sleep." Zhang Yong promised, patting his chest.
That's what his character is.
Greedy for money, lustful, and excited when hearing benefits.
Occasionally, he also felt that it might not be possible to continue like this. But it was hard to get back.
What's more, with these two layers of disguise, everything seems to go much smoother. Others won't be particularly wary of him. Even his enemies are like this.
On the contrary, if you make yourself like Yan Shuangying, you will be doomed. Your opponent will also be super powerful.
"I don't dare. But I am really worried about something."
"explain."
"Now, I have a ship that is about to enter the Qiantang River dock. But something happened on the ship. I don't want to alarm others. I heard that you happened to be in Hangzhou, so I have to trouble you. I'm really sorry..."
"I'm going to the dock now."
"Thanks!"
"Wait for my news!"
"good!"
"I'm going!"
Zhang Yong hung up the phone and got up immediately.
By the way, I checked the map and found that Jiang Guohu was still alive. He was fine.
Simply put on your clothes, open the door and go out. Say to the person on duty outside the door: "Wake everyone up immediately. There is an urgent mission."
"Yes." The agent on duty hurriedly woke everyone up.
result……
Yang Lichu was also woken up.
Wearing her nightgown, she came to Zhang Yong's room out of curiosity.
"What happened?"
"you……"
Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Oh, my order was wrong. I originally called all the agents, but Yang Lichu was not included.
However, it was not safe to leave Yang Lichu alone in the hotel. She might as well take her with her. Anyway, it was already four o'clock in the morning. It would be dawn in three hours. She would make up for the lack of sleep when she came back from work. She would make up for it every day.
Just eating, drinking and sleeping, nothing serious.
"Kong Fansong asked me to go to the dock."
"do what?"
"Something happened to their Kong family's ship. Please let me go over and take a look."
"What's up?"
“You won’t know until you get there.”
"Then I'll go with you!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
Yang Lichu then went back to wash up and change clothes.
Zhang Yong suddenly remembered something. For this matter, he had to bring Lao Bai with him. Lao Bai could not stay in the hotel.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the phone. It was Gu Bafeng calling.
"Shaolong, Kong Fansong asked me to follow you to the dock. Follow your instructions. It may be a bit dangerous."
"Okay. Wait for me outside the pier."
"good!"
Gu Bafeng died.
Everyone acted quickly and never talked nonsense.
Zhang Yong called Lao Bai and left five people in the hotel to continue guarding the spies. The others all followed.
Gu Bafeng warned that it might be dangerous, and of course he did not dare to take it lightly.
Kong Fansong didn't tell him, was he worried that he wouldn't go?
However, there are people he brought with him, as well as the military police from Gu Bafeng, totaling hundreds of people. There should be no need to be afraid.
It's impossible for Xuan Tiewu not to give face to the Kong family.
Depart. Arrive at the pier.
Gu Bafeng moved very quickly and arrived early.
This guy was fully armed. He also brought three light machine guns. The number of people also increased by a full hundred.
They probably mobilized troops from the Hangzhou Military Police Headquarters.
Alas, it is good to have military power. More manpower can be mobilized at any time. No wonder Virgo spares no effort to build a loyal and righteous army to save the country.
After all, the end of power is military power!
As long as you hold military power, you will be a vassal town in ancient times!
It's almost the same now...
If you have a gun, you are a grass-headed king. No one wants to be second to Wang Jiali.
"What danger?"
"Let's talk after we go in."
"good!"
A group of people went in.
There are heavily armed military police outside. The core are the agents from Qin Lishan.
"What danger?"
"Five people mysteriously disappeared on the ship."
"Disappeared? Mysterious?"
"right."
"died?"
“If you don’t see people alive, you don’t see corpses after death.”
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong couldn't help but wonder.
Is there such a thing? Five living people disappeared?
"Jumped into the sea?"
"have no idea."
"That……"
Zhang Yong frowned.
If it fell into the water, there would be no way to find it.
He is not a detective. He does not understand investigation. If he is asked to solve the case, it will indeed be a bit difficult for him.
If the caller was not Kong Fansong, he probably would not have accepted such a task.
I am not a professional. If I rashly intervene in solving the case, I will be laughed at.
I saw a huge cargo ship in the distance. I was a little surprised for a while.
This cargo ship is actually bigger than the one I saw yesterday. The one yesterday belonged to the Japanese spy Xu Sheng. The transport capacity may be around 1,000 tons. But the one we see now is definitely a big one, with a transport capacity of maybe 2,000 tons.
Above. The total displacement may exceed 3,000 tons.
If placed in Europe and the United States, such a freighter would certainly be nothing. However, in China, a freighter with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons is definitely considered large.
Freighters of this level cannot be built domestically. They can only be imported and are very expensive.
After all, the Kong family is in charge of the Ministry of Finance! They are rich.
Arrive next to the freighter.
There are already people waiting.
Both parties knew each other. Someone from the Kong family also came. His name was Kong Younian.
Kong Younian is the owner of the ship. The cargo ship is registered in his name. The ship's name is Geely. Its standard displacement is 3,500 tons.
This is a bulk carrier. It has four holds and can carry different cargoes respectively.
"We just came back from Nanyang. All the stuff was packed with cane sugar."
"When it set off from Manila, there were thirty-seven crew members. There were also one hundred and twenty-five guests."
"While passing through Guangzhou, fifty-three guests disembarked. Another one hundred and thirty-seven guests came aboard. Seven crew members left."
"When we get to Quanzhou..."
"When we get to Wenzhou..."
Kong Younian briefly introduced the situation. He also brought the voyage log.
Zhang Yong flipped through the logbook. The situation recorded above is quite detailed. How many people came up, how many people went down, how much cargo was unloaded, how much cargo was loaded. It can be concluded that this cargo ship is a bit like a bus. It stops at every stop.
.People and materials go up and down, in and out.
"When did the five people disappear?"
"have no idea."
"In other words, someone may have disappeared when they docked in Guangzhou?"
"maybe!"
Kong Younian couldn't explain why.
This had never happened to them before, as few guests would leave the ship.
If a guest wants to leave the ship, he will also say hello in advance. Relatively speaking, the guests are more nervous that the ship will leave because they have already paid.
"Can we come on board and take a look?"
"please."
Kong Younian took them on board.
Zhang Yong switched the economic mode and found several golden signs.
After all, it was the Kong family's ship, so it was obvious that it carried some gold. Returning from Manila, the shipping fee would have been a small gold bar.
Switch back to normal mode. There are also several weapon symbols.
This is also obvious. The Kong family's ship must be equipped with weapons.
It is normal for a crew of more than thirty to be equipped with more than thirty weapons. In addition to ordinary pistols, there may also be machine guns.
The sea outside is not safe. Pirates may appear at any time.
"By the way. Are you a single ship or a fleet?"
"Fleet. We have five ships in total. The other four ships are all heading to Wusongkou Pier."
"Could it be that those five people got on the wrong ship?"
"Probably not. The other four ships have no passengers. They are all purely cargo transportation."
"All right……"
Zhang Yong didn't ask any more questions.
It seems that someone like Lin Beiqiu should be invited to investigate.
Apart from catching Japanese spies, my other abilities are really ordinary. Want to become a famous detective? Overthinking.
"Did you bring any private goods?" Gu Bafeng suddenly asked.
Zhang Yong:???
Reacted immediately.
By the way. I forgot to ask the most important point.
Did the Kong family's ship contain any private goods? If so, the situation would be much more complicated.
There are many types of so-called private goods, such as foreign cigarettes, perfumes, matches, cameras, films, etc. They are all included in the package and do not need to pay taxes.
However, more often than not, the so-called private goods actually refer to a specific product. That is tobacco.
Zhang Yong had known before that the Kong family was selling cigarettes secretly. It was also stored in the warehouse of the Ministry of Finance. As a result, it was also targeted by Japanese spies.
Now, it would be abnormal for the Kong family's fleet to return from Nanyang without bringing some smoke and soil.
"This, I brought a little. A little." Sure enough, Kong Younian didn't hide anything. But the quantity obviously didn't tell the truth either.
Zhang Yong couldn't help but wonder whether all the so-called sucrose was tobacco.
Later, when I thought about it, I thought it was too exaggerated.
After all, thousands of tons of sucrose is understandable. Thousands of tons of cigarette smoke is terrifying.
One ton is 2,000 kilograms! 5,000 tons of soot, that's 10 million kilograms. Such a terrifying amount will definitely scare people to death. I guess the Kong family doesn't dare to get so much goods at once. Nanyang probably doesn't
No one can provide such a large amount.
Unless you go to the East India Company...
But it is estimated to be several thousand kilograms. This amount is completely within the normal digestion capacity of the Kong family.
"Are they all still there?"
"It's all here. It's all here. We've looked at it carefully."
"Then I have no problem."
Gu Bafeng turned to look at Zhang Yong.
I originally thought that someone came here for the smoke, but it was denied.
Since they are not here for Yantu, it becomes complicated. What is the origin of the five people who mysteriously disappeared?
"Are there any of your Kong family members?"
"No."
"Then why are you so nervous?"
"It's five Englishmen."
"What?"
"It's five Englishmen who are missing."
"no……"
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
He felt that he needed to have a good talk with Kong Younian.
This guy obviously didn't tell the truth. Just said five people were missing. Do they need to be so nervous?
After all, the Kong family is also in charge of the Ministry of Finance, and is the brother-in-law of the committee. What does it have to do with the disappearance of five ordinary people? There is no problem if hundreds of them disappear.
It turned out that five British people were missing. That turned into a possible big problem.
In case the British Consulate inquires...
"Lao Kong, you didn't tell the truth!" Gu Bafeng also began to realize that something was wrong.
We are here to solve problems. Don't think we are fools!
Didn't reveal the truth at all, just making a fool of myself.
"You guys come with me!"
"good!"
Kong Younian took Zhang Yong and Gu Bafeng into a cabin.
It was only the three of them that he told the truth.
"In Manila, five British people came to see us. Four men and one woman. They said they were coming from Kuala Lumpur and were going to Tianjin Wei."
"They were willing to pay two hundred pounds each to take them from Manila to Shanghai. Then they would find their own way from Shanghai to Tianjin Wei. I agreed. So they boarded the ship."
"When they arrived in Guangzhou, all five of them got off the boat. Then they got on the boat again."
"When we arrived at Quanzhou, the British woman got off the boat. Then she got on the boat again. None of the four British men got off the boat."
"Then, when we arrived in Wenzhou, they didn't even get off the boat."
"Then, when we entered the mouth of the Qiantang River, we found that all five of them were missing."
"We searched everywhere on the ship but couldn't see anyone. So we felt something was wrong, so we used the radio to report."
Kong Younian said slowly.
Zhang Yong didn't speak, and Gu Bafeng didn't speak either.
This is the situation. It's not too weird to say it's weird.
If it were an ordinary person, it would really be nothing.
If it's gone, it's gone.
Anyway, I didn’t lose the person. He lost it himself.
Who dares to put the responsibility on the Kong family?
No one asked at all.
But the British dare to do so. If the British ask further questions, the commissioner must give an explanation.
This is the fundamental reason why Kong Fansong called.
There must be an explanation.
Where have the five British people gone and what happened? They have to answer the British inquiries. If the British are not satisfied, there may be another diplomatic turmoil. The most unpleasant thing about the appointment is to offend foreigners. Naturally, the Kong family will not
Dare to neglect.
"By the way, I have their photos."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's mind moved.
There are actually photos?
Do I need to take photos when boarding the ship?
Confuse……
"Our young master accidentally took the photo."
"Your young master?"
"Kong Lingkan."
The last person to answer was Gu Bafeng.
Zhang Yong suddenly realized.
It turns out to be this master.
Very powerful.
He is actually on the boat too?
Wait. How old is this young master of the Kong family now?
Aren't you still a kid?
"What is your young master's age this year?"
"Just a weak man. He is in his early twenties."
"He's on board too?"
"He went with the ship to Manila to see things."
"So, on the ship, he interacted with five Englishmen?"
"Yes. Our young master has studied in the United States since he was a child. His English is very good. This time he comes back to celebrate the New Year and go out to relax..."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
The thing I was thinking about had nothing to do with Kong Lingkan. Instead, I was secretly sighing. It’s almost the Chinese New Year...
etc!
"What's the date today?"
"It's the 28th."
“When is New Year’s Eve?”
"the day after tomorrow."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment.
Finished!
This job really has no future.
Day and night. I even forgot when the Chinese New Year was.
Every day is about performing tasks, performing tasks, performing tasks. Where is the normal life?
awful……
The Chinese New Year will be the day after tomorrow. I’m still working today.
The most terrible thing is that no one reminded me that it was the Chinese New Year. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it?
It's terrible...
Has the Fuxing Society actually become so involved?
There is no New Year atmosphere at all.
no!
Chinese New Year is coming soon. I must take a holiday!
Must take seven days off!
There will be a seven-day holiday in future generations. It must be given now as well.
wrong.
Leave it for eight days.
New Year's Eve, the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year are all holidays!
Let’s talk about the big things after the New Year.
So what if we don't see five British people? Maybe they went somewhere to celebrate Chinese New Year.
