Lost and Spy

Chapter 171
There really are a lot of things in this cargo.

Medicines, opium, rubber...even some weapons were found.

"There."

Tian Qi pouted to the left.

You must look very carefully to find that there is a very hidden dark cabin in the cabin.

Meng Shaoyuan pulled out his gun, came to the dark cabin, and tapped: "Come out."

No one came out.

"If you don't come out again, throw a grenade."

"Don't throw it, don't throw it, let's come out! Let's come out!"

A man's voice came out.

The hatch door was opened from the inside.

A young man crawled out.

But immediately, another woman crawled out.

It is estimated that he is about 20 years old, and he has delicate features.

What's going on here?
Meng Shaoyuan and Tian Qi glanced at each other: "Who are you? Smugglers?"

"No, no." The man said hastily, "My name is Li Hui, and her name is Xia Wen. We...we eloped from Guangzhou."

Elope?
I've only seen it in movies and TV, but I didn't expect this encounter to be real.

"No, if you elope, you elope. What are you doing hiding in the 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 her father's people all the way. So I found this road. 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 either.

Called some of Tao Jianbao's subordinates to come in and ask. One of Tao Jianbao knew about this, and it really was such a situation.

Tao Jianbao saw that money was open, so he brought two people back along the way, and it was nothing if he could make a fortune.

The young couple was very honest and well-behaved on the boat.

Come out when you eat, and spend 10 minutes of the day on the deck to bask in the sun.

If the ship docks for supplies, it will definitely hide in the dark cabin to prevent being discovered by Xia Wen's father.

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 send you to the train station in a while, buy a ticket to go to Shanghai, and the ship has been impounded."

"Thank you, thank you." Li Hui bowed again and again: "Xia Wen, thank you sir."

Xia Wen was very afraid of strangers, and kept hiding behind Li Hui, probably because she was worried that her father would suddenly chase her out?

At this time, he came to the front and bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan.

As soon as Li Hui grabbed Xia Wen's hand, he also bowed.

wrong!

has a problem!
When Li Hui held Xia Wen's hand, he quietly shook it firmly.

Now that she already knew that she was not sent by her father, why was Xia Wen still so scared?
What is he afraid of there?
Li Hui's grip was to give Xia Wen courage and remind her that they were about to pass the test.

Moreover, Meng Shaoyuan recalled that when he interrogated Li Hui just now, his answer was calm and composed, and he could not see any flaws. He should be somewhat worried when he first saw him.

But he was too calm.

He didn't even notice any expression on his face.

This is not the reaction that normal people would have.

unless……

This person is professionally trained in this area.

"Do you have any luggage?" Meng Shaoyuan asked nonchalantly, "I said the ship will be detained, so hurry up and take out your luggage."

"Hey, yes, yes."

Li Hui climbed into the dark cabin again, and took out a rattan box after a while.

"Wait." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "According to the rules, a routine inspection is still required."

"Okay, okay." Li Hui immediately put the rattan box aside.

The box was opened.

Clothes, daily necessities, some money.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Meng Shaoyuan had his back to them. He checked the box for a while, quietly took out something, then put it under his clothes pretendingly, "searched" it out, lifted it up, turned his head sharply, and said sharply: :

"Xia Wen, what is this? Grab it!"

That's a pistol!
Xia Wen turned pale with shock, and immediately covered Li Hui with her body: "Mr. Narumi, run!"

Narumi-kun?
"Li Hui" sighed, then smiled wryly:

"When did we carry weapons?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

There was indeed nothing abnormal in the box, but he, Young Master Meng, would frame it.

He had already seen that Xia Wen was timid, so he took out his pistol and pretended it belonged to the other party. When he turned around, he deliberately shouted "Xia Wen".

A person who is in high tension and is always worried about being exposed will definitely react instinctively and genuinely.

Sure enough, Xia Wen's reaction exposed everything.

Tian Qi's muzzle has been 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 don't have a weapon, so I don't pose any 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: "Mr. Narumi, Japanese? Japanese people usually call you by surname, Narumi? It should be your name, can you call me?" You are so intimate, you are really a pair of lovers. Come on, tell me honestly, what is your name, so as to save everyone trouble."

"Li Hui" kept holding Xia Wen's hand: "My name is Shimamoto Narumi."

"What about you?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at Xia Wen: "Your real name is Xia Wen?"

"Yes, his real name is 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 a Japanese was caught. It's interesting. Let's go, come back with us to assist in some investigations. It's interesting, interesting."

……

"My name is Shimamoto Narumi, a native of Chiba, Japan. I joined the intelligence agency very early and belonged to the Ministry of Army. The year before last, I joined the Guangzhou Secret Service..."

As soon as he entered the interrogation room, Shimamoto Narumi gave a confession in a bamboo tube, and the content of the confession was far beyond expectations.

Actually a spy?

Detected smuggling and found a spy?
Tian Qi couldn't help but look at Meng Shaoyuan, the team leader Meng's luck is really good.

"Go on."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't look surprised at all.

"I am directly under the command of Oka Saho, the head of the Guangzhou Secret Service..." It seems that Shimamoto Narumi is not going to hide anything:
"Last month, the head of the Ooka agency gave me a mission... It must be explained that we successfully instigated a Chinese official named Xia Qingyan before..."

Xia Qingyan provided the Japanese with a lot of information, and Shimamoto Narumi was in charge of listening to these information.

He has been in and out of Xia's house many times, and his identity is a businessman from Japan, so he got acquainted with Xia Wen and gradually fell in love with this Chinese girl.

After Chen Jitang failed to escape to Hong Kong, Xia Qingyan's life began to be difficult, and he betrayed so much information, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

So, he approached Ooka Saho and said that he would no longer cooperate with them in the future, and everyone should just pretend that they don't know each other and stop interacting with them.

Isn't this a fool?Meng Shaoyuan thought so in his heart.

To be a traitor, is it wrong to say that it is wrong?Do you think your master will let you go?

Sure enough, when Ooka Sabo heard about it, he knew that sooner or later he would surrender to the Nationalist government, threatening the survival of the Guangzhou secret service, so he shot and killed Xia Qingyan immediately.

Then, Shimamoto Narumi and two other spies were sent to kill the Xia family members.

After that, just like the bloody dramas Meng Shaoyuan watched in his time, Ooka Sabo couldn't bear to kill Xia Wen, so he ran away with her.

Bloody shit, so shitty.

Never thought that I would encounter such a bloody plot.

Not to mention, in the real history, such a thing really happened, but Meng Shaoyuan never thought that he would actually encounter it.

Shimamoto Narumi knew that Ooka Sabo would not let them go, and the best way was to leave Guangzhou.

Therefore, he paid a large sum of money and boarded Tao Jianbao's smuggling boat.

He also knew that Ooka Saho would definitely notify the Japanese spies along the way and try every means 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 go to Hong Kong?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Isn't it faster for Guangzhou to go to Hong Kong?"

"That's not safe." Shimamoto Narumi replied calmly: "In Hong Kong, Ooka Sabo is more powerful, and it is easier to find us. It is safest to run out of Shanghai. Dragons and snakes are mixed there. We more opportunities.”

"Well, it seems to be the reason." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I'm Shimamoto, and I've caught quite a few Japanese spies, but few of them confessed as readily as you. Why?"

"For Xia Wen." Shimamoto Narumi smiled bitterly: "Since you know that I am Japanese, you will definitely not let me go. I can endure your torture and interrogation, but unfortunately, Xia Wen is my weakness, I don't want to Seeing her hurt in any way. If that's the case, why don't I say it all?"

"You said it out, I know you are a Japanese spy, and I won't let you go."

"This may be the only way Xia Wen and I can save our lives now." Shimamoto Narumi said calmly: "You are also a spy, right? 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 me."

Meng Shaoyuan asked slowly: "That's the truth, but I have a question, what if you did this on purpose and used a trick? What kind of spies, chasing and killing, are you acting there?"

"You can doubt us so much." Shimamoto Narumi smiled wryly: "You can also detain us and make a decision after the investigation is clear. If you are really worried, you can kill me, but I beg you, don't Hurt Xia Wen, this is my only request."

"Temporarily detained." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "I will ask our colleagues in Guangzhou to help us investigate together."
