Lost and Spy

Chapter 2993 Missing
Eguchi and Hiroshi rubbed their eyes.

Eyes are a little dry.

After so many days of hard work, it is really exhausting.

Especially doing the same job every day.

Another new day begins.

Meng Shaoyuan also came early in the morning.

What I want to inspect today is Pier No. [-] and Warehouse No. [-]!
"let's start."

Meng Shaoyuan took out the ledger from his briefcase.

The first box, according to the records in the ledger, should be a box of cultural relics.

When he opened it and took out the first work, Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.

This is, a word!

All are Chinese characters.

Meng Shaoyuan's appreciation of calligraphy and painting is almost nonexistent.

He couldn't tell whose words it was.

He also doesn't know that this is a treasure of China:
Set the order of Wulan Pavilion!
He only knew that this picture of Chinese characters must belong to China.

It must have been looted by the Japanese from China.

It must be a priceless treasure!

A box full of calligraphy and paintings.

Among them, the vast majority belong to China, and a small part comes from other countries in Southeast Asia.

Meng Shaoyuan felt distressed.

If I had known that such a peerless treasure was hidden here, I would not have chosen to target Warehouse No. [-].

I will definitely do everything possible to make these calligraphy and paintings rush back to the embrace of the motherland.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan really wanted to slap himself a few times.

Since the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, countless Chinese cultural relics have flowed overseas.

In order to bring these treasures home as soon as possible, countless people have been working hard for countless years.

But myself, unexpectedly chose Warehouse No. [-] as the target execution point?

Isn't this a big fucking idiot what is it?
Eguchi and Hiroshi also couldn't understand these calligraphy and paintings, and it was a bit perfunctory to check them.

This made Meng Shaoyuan feel lucky.

Eguchi and Hiroshi's lack of knowledge in this area gave him a great possibility of success in his future plans!
After inspection, the box was re-sealed.

They came to the second box.

"Ironware, two hundred kilograms."

Ironware is the code name of gold!
When the box was opened, Eguchi and Hiroshi uncovered the oilcloth on it, startled, "Taniguchi-san, did you read it wrong?"

"It's [-] kilograms of iron." Meng Shaoyuan put the ledger in front of Jiangguchi and Hong.

Then, his gaze also fell into the box: "What is this? How could it be like this?"

In the box, there is no gold at all.

Yes, just a box of hardware materials!
"Account book, did you remember it wrong?" Eguchi Kazuhiro asked suspiciously.

"Impossible." Meng Shaoyuan said decisively: "When we inspected the previous warehouse, although there were occasional mistakes that were not recorded in the account, it was not so outrageous!"

Eguchi and Hiroshi picked up a piece of hardware and looked at it over and over for a while.

Is this made of gold?

impossible!
He threw the material away: "What's the next box?"

It is a cultural relic!
When I opened the box and checked it, I found that these cultural relics looted from Southeast Asian countries were completely worthy of the account!

Eguchi and Hiromi frowned: "Taniguchi-san, see which boxes still have gold in them, check these boxes first."

The chest marked with gold was opened.

However, this immediately confirmed Eguchi and Hiromi's guess.

Inside, it's still not gold!
Inside, it is full of all kinds of books!

"How can this happen, how can this happen?"

An ominous premonition began to emerge in Eguchi and Hiroshi's heart.

One after another, the boxes were opened!

"problem occurs!"

Meng Shaoyuan murmured.

All the ledger records should have gold boxes, and when they were opened, all the gold disappeared!

"Something went wrong!" Eguchi and Hiroshi parrot said something like a parrot.

What about gold?
Where did all that gold go?

Why is it all missing?

From the beginning of the inspection to the present, there has never been such a terrible scene!
"It's not something we can fix."

Meng Shaoyuan adjusted his emotions: "Immediately report to the Commander and Director Yamada."

Eguchi and Hiroshi nodded mechanically.

He never thought that such a terrible scene would appear.

Manila, this time, something really big is going to happen!
……

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing.

Everyone's face was livid.

Two wooden boxes are placed in the middle.

In a box, there are hardware materials.

There is also a box full of books.

And inside, it should be gold!

"Tell me what you think." Takuma Shintani was the first to speak.

"Someone deliberately changed the package." Meng Shaoyuan replied.

"Why are you so sure?" Masaharu Honma frowned, "What if the account book is wrong?"

"Occasionally there are mistakes, I can understand." Meng Shaoyuan said in an interface: "But the gold box that was supposed to be gold has disappeared. This is not accidental. There is also this."

Meng Shaoyuan took out a hardware part from the wooden box: "This is a bracket used on a heavy machine gun. How could it appear here? When there is a war, do you have to check where it is on the ledger?"

He put down the stand, looked in another box, and then picked up a book: "What is this? This is a novel, a novel written by a Japanese author, which can be purchased anytime, anywhere.

Such an ordinary novel, who would hide it here solemnly?It's not just this one, sir, you can take a look, this box is full of ordinary books! "

Shinya Takuma's expression became serious: "You mean, someone stole the gold, and then replaced it with other items to create an illusion."

"It's more than that."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "My judgment is that during the process of stealing gold, the thieves were in a hurry and had no time to find other better substitutes, so they used these temporary substitutes."

"idiot!"

Masaharu Honma was furious, but he quickly forced himself to calm down: "It is almost impossible to steal gold swaggeringly on the pier, unless it is an organized theft gang."

"And they are very powerful." Xin Gu Toma helped him and added: "It's not just any thieves gang, they can enter and exit these warehouses at will."

"Surprisingly, there is such a terrifying gang hidden beside us." Masahiro Honma sneered, "Mr. Xingu, it's time to find out these moths. Your Excellency Yamada, what do you think?"

"I fully support it!" Yoshitaro Yamada said coldly: "This is a crime, and it happened right under our noses. It is also a provocation to us Chiguoguo. We must catch these shameless and despicable thieves!"

Masaharu Honma nodded: "Mr. Xingu, then I'll leave it to you. Set up an investigation team immediately, with you as the team leader, and solve the case as soon as possible!"

"Hay!"

Takuma Shintani immediately said: "Shibu Taniguchi, Eguchi and Hiroshi, you were the first to discover it. From now on, you are also members of the investigation team. Solve the case with me and catch the thief as soon as possible!"
