Lost and Spy

Chapter 410
"Your Excellency Kawamoto, Your Excellency Kawamoto!"

Qing Tian Daofu hurried in, holding a newspaper in his hand: "This is the 'Hua Ri News' that just came out, please read this."

Kawamoto Kojiro took the newspaper, and when he saw it, his expression changed immediately.

The newspaper accused the Americans of maintaining neutrality in name but actually supporting the Chinese government there.

Nonsense.

Kawamoto Kojiro was a little unhappy.

This will cause the US government to protest.

But more important is what follows.

The article mentioned the name of "Angus International Co., Ltd." by name, saying that they transported large quantities of weapons and ammunition for the Chinese army, seriously violating the principle of neutrality.

However, what Kojiro Kawamoto paid the most attention to was the end of the article.

"A foreigner who has seriously insulted the Japanese Empire, no, he can no longer be called a foreigner. He has become a Chinese citizen. When Japan is about to arrest him, Angus & Co. continues to favor him, and will At 11:3 p.m. on November 2, we left Shanghai on the American cargo ship 'Cape of Good Hope Warrior'."

foreigners?Become a Chinese citizen?Japanese arrest?

Vance White!
Kawamoto Kojiro immediately connected these together.

The answer pointed directly to Wan Sibai.

The veracity of this news is temporarily out of control.

I would rather be deceived than to let go of any clues.

3pm on the 2rd?
It's today!

"Immediately find out the pier where the 'Cape of Good Hope Warrior' is docked, and immediately notify the consulate and the Ministry of Industry to start negotiations!" Kawamoto Kojiro quickly made arrangements: "Qingtian, get me the person in charge of this newspaper!"

……

"Come on, eat more."

Meng Shaoyuan ordered a table full of dishes, and kept serving Shi Mintong who was sitting across from him graciously.

"Director Meng, enough is enough." The bowl in front of Shi Mintong was already full of vegetables: "No matter how much, I really can't eat it."

"Eat if you can't eat, come, drink."

Meng Shaoyuan filled Shi Mintong's wine cup again: "Drink more, eat more."

"It's really enough, Director Meng." Shi Mintong drank a cup of wine: "I know my mission, and I also know that I may not be able to come back this time. It's okay, it's okay, you gave me so much money , I have never seen so much money in my life. It's worth it, it's worth it."

Meng Shaoyuan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

But Shi Mintong smiled: "I never thought that the face my parents gave me could be used in such a way one day and help me earn so much money. I have two younger brothers and a younger sister Well, the whole family is counting on me. Whether I live or die this time, at least my family doesn't have to worry.

I'm not capable, I'm over 30 and haven't married yet, but my younger brother wants to marry a wife, he can't be a bachelor like me, my younger sister will also marry in the future, who doesn't want their younger sister to get married in a good way?It's okay now, it's okay now, all these troubles have been solved. "

"Brother, I'm sorry for you." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I'm not capable, and I can't think of a better way. I can only exchange my own brother's life for the life of a foreigner. I asked Assistant Wu to find someone. She I found you so quickly, as soon as I saw you, I knew that you were the one I was looking for."

After speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Shi Mintong.

"Director Meng, this can't be done, this can't be done." Shi Mintong was frightened, and quickly stood up: "I am a small spy, and you are the master, how can you bow to me?"

"Director Meng."

Wu Jingyi pushed the door open and walked in: "It's almost time."

"Okay." Before Meng Shaoyuan could speak, Shi Mintong picked up the jug, drank the wine in it with a few sips, and wiped his mouth:

"Director Meng, I'm leaving then."

"Brother, let's go!"

……

"Cape of Good Hope Warrior".

Captain Rhett checked the time, lit his pipe, and took a few puffs.

At the pier, a lot of patrols and...

spy.

Yes, these people should be secret agents.

And the crew also heard that these people communicated there in Japanese.

The "Cape of Good Hope Warrior" belongs to the assets of Angus International. What are these Japanese doing here?
Suddenly, several cars sped up.

As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Moyes, the president of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Hakuman Hirosawa, the military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, and even Mr. Pettus, the deputy consul of the US Consulate General in Shanghai, got out of the car.

what's the situation?
"Captain Rhett." Moyes came over.

"Call Mr. Joey immediately and tell him that the Japanese are coming." Captain Reiter ordered in a low voice, and then went up to meet him: "Mr. President, why are you here?"

"Ah, this is Hakuman Hirosawa, the military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai." Moyes introduced a few people: "They received information that the Cape Warrior violated the neutrality agreement and helped the Chinese government smuggle prohibited items. "

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Captain Rhett looked very angry. He first complained and protested a few words, and then pulled Moyes aside: "Mr. President, of course we have prohibited items, but before the war broke out we also This has always been done, but I can assure you that we have absolutely not helped the Chinese government."

Moyes looked at the Japanese, and lowered his voice quite low: "I know, they are not here to check for prohibited items, but to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Rhett shrugged, "I don't have anyone they want here."

While talking there, several trucks full of goods and a car roared over.

The one who got out of the car was Joey Fremont, the chairman and general manager of Angus International.

"Mr. Vice Consul? Mr. President? Why are you all here?" Joey walked over with a smile on his face: "What's the matter, did something happen to me?"

Hirosawa Hakuman gave a wink, and Kawamoto Kojiro who came with him immediately came over and said: "Mr. Fremont, on behalf of the Japanese government, I strongly protest your violation of the neutrality agreement!"

Joey spread his hands: "What are you talking about!"

Kawamoto Kojiro didn't say a word, but handed today's "Hua Ri Shimbun" to the other party.

"You show me Japanese newspapers?" Joey couldn't help but laugh: "I can speak some simple Chinese, but I'm sorry, I don't know Japanese at all."

"Then I can read it to you."

Kawamoto Kojiro read the article.

"It's simply inexplicable." Joey protested loudly: "This is slanderous rumors. I will sue this irresponsible reporter."

"Listen, Mr. Fremont." Kawamoto Kojiro said coldly: "We are not interested in your smuggling at all, but you also know that I can use your smuggling to make a big fuss and say that you are assisting China. Government, can you give a reasonable explanation?"

Joey seemed to recoil a little.

Kawamoto Kojiro saw his appearance, and he, who is deeply psychological, smiled: "But there is nothing between us. Don't be so stiff. If you hand over people, no matter what you smuggle, you will be with us." It doesn't matter!"

"Who? I don't even know who it is." Joey looked at it but didn't seem to give in.

Kawamoto Kojiro said relaxedly: "In this case, do you mind if I conduct a routine inspection of your truck?"

"You want to inspect my truck?" Joey immediately objected: "This is simply ridiculous, what qualifications do you have to inspect my truck?"

"Joy." Vice-Consul Peters called him to his side: "Hey, the Japanese Consulate has lodged a serious protest with our Mr. Consul and threatened the Japanese army to enter the public concession for arrest. You have to know that the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is This is the last thing we want to happen, so we have to make some compromises for the benefit of the United States."

Joey was very unhappy, but he still made a concession: "Well, these damn Japanese monkeys. If they can't find out, I will settle the score with them."

"Mr. Fremont, have you made a decision?" Kawamoto Kojiro began to urge.

Joey waved his hand angrily: "Check it out, go check it out, but remember, if you don't find the person you mentioned, you must give me a reasonable explanation for this matter!"

……

"Name!"

"Manako Matsumoto."

"Are you the person in charge of 'Hua Ri News'?"

"Yes, I'm an editor and a reporter."

"Tell me, where did you get this report?"

"I said, I'm a reporter, I have to guarantee the news provider."

"Miss Matsumoto, we are all Japanese, I don't want to cause any unpleasantness!"

"I reject!"

……

All the goods on several trucks were searched, but no one searched.

The truck is full of Chinese specialties that Angus International is going to ship to the United States.

Heck!

Intelligence is false.

Could it be that he was teased by the military commander again?
Wan Sibai wasn't in the car at all?
"I protest, I protest!" Joey's voice became louder again: "This is a flagrant violation of the legal rights and interests of an American company!"

"Your Excellency Kawamoto, Your Excellency Kawamoto." A Japanese spy hurried over, approached Kojiro Kawamoto and whispered, "We have found the target."

"What? The information is serious?"

"It's true, Wan Sibai showed up, along with his wife and children."

"Call everyone immediately and arrive as quickly as possible."

Kawamoto Kojiro was absolutely unwilling to delay here for an extra minute. As soon as he gave the order, he immediately said to Joey: "Mr. Fremont, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us, and I will apologize to you, but now I still There are urgent matters to attend to."

……

"Miss Matsumoto, let me ask you one last time, will you tell me or not?"

"I have nothing to say!"

"Then I'm sorry, I can only torture you, it's a terrible punishment!"

Makoto was a little scared.

But she still shook her head stubbornly.

"Miss Matsumoto, offended."

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly kicked open, and then a voice came:
"Who dares to touch my daughter!"
