"Kenji, you are here to solve the problem!" Zhou Ke looked at his old subordinate with some amusement and continued, "But don't worry, call the person in charge of the Special High Technology Department up first."

"Reporting to the head of the family, the high-tech department's subordinates want to see you!" A family bodyguard came to the door of the room and reported.

"Speak of Cao Cao, and he will appear. Send someone over! You two sit down and listen together." Zhou Ke said as he sat up from the sofa, put the collection of the four great masterpieces in his hands together and placed them on the coffee table.

"No need, sir. I will just stand here. If something happens, I can take action immediately."

Neither of them sat down. Tanegashima Kenji still stood there in a vigilant posture, while the butler came and stood beside Zhou Ke.

"You two are really careful! Kenji, your vigilance is commendable. When you return to Shanghai, your share will increase by another 3%."

Zhou Ke never liked to just give verbal praise, but preferred to give some practical benefits.

Kenji Tanegashima gave him a really good impression. Although he was now a squadron leader, he was still the same as when he first started following him.

"Thank you for the reward, sir. This is what I should do." Tanegashima Kenji was more energetic than before.

A moment later, accompanied by two bodyguards, the somewhat nervous Yamashita saw Lieutenant Colonel Matsuda and others who were already waiting for him in the room.

"Hello, Commander Matsuda. I hope you can forgive me for disturbing you so late at night!"

Yamashita bowed as soon as they met. It was said that the new master of the Nanzō chief in front of him had a very strong identity and background. He had to be careful with his words and actions and not say the wrong thing to offend the other party.

"Mr. Shanshang, please don't disturb me. I wasn't asleep either. I was just about to send someone down to find you to find out what happened!" Zhou Ke smiled and pointed at the sofa, motioning Shanshangliu to sit down.

"Sir, it's more comfortable for me to stand. I didn't expect that you are still studying Chinese military tactics so late at night!" Shan Xialiu praised Zhou Ke while looking at the Art of War by Sun Tzu on the coffee table in front of him.

"Well, I just like to study this aspect. Mr. Yamagami, can you tell me why you are here?" Zhou Ke asked.

"Sir, we have lost an important list. We hope you can send some people to help us get it back!" Shan Xialiu requested.

"What list? If it's so important, don't you have a backup? Why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be the same to leave the people behind and search slowly?"

Zhou Ke had a similar idea to Tanegashima Kenji. He really didn't want these people to make too much noise on the ship, but at the same time he was very curious about what kind of list these people had in their hands.

"Sir, there is a backup, but the backup is in Shanghai. And we will need to use this list when we return to our home country this time." Shan Xialiu said truthfully.

"Why don't you just send a message to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to explain the situation and send another group of people back to the mainland by boat as backup?" Zhou Ke suggested.

"I'm afraid it's too late. Due to the recent accident in Shanghai, the next ship returning to the mainland will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. We're quite rushed on our side." Shan Xialiu explained.

"Okay, look for the things. I will send someone to assist you, but I hope you don't make too much noise. And Mr. Yamagami, I don't quite understand why you don't use the radio to send back the message for such a confidential list?" Zhou Ke asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sir, this list was intercepted by us some time ago. It was written in code and cannot be transmitted via radio. It requires a specific code book to decipher."

Shan Xialiu was secretly relieved when he saw Zhou Ke agreed. With the help of this officer with many subordinates, their hope of getting the list back increased a lot.

"The cracked code book is in our country?" Zhou Ke asked.

"You are right, that's almost what you meant, but..."

"Reporting to the head of the family, Xiao Songlin from the Special High Technology Department wants to see you." The family bodyguard appeared at the door again and reported.

"Mr. Shanshang, are they your men?" Zhou Kewang asked Shanshangliu.

"Yes sir, that man is my assistant."

After getting the obscene reply from Shan, Zhou Ke signaled the bodyguard to bring the person in.

"Team leader, it's bad, that thing is lost too!" Xiao Songlin said anxiously after entering the room and seeing his boss.

At the same time, when Shan Xialiu heard Xiao Songlin's report, his face suddenly turned pale and cold sweat unconsciously flowed from his forehead.

"Has something happened again, Yamagami-kun? Why do you look so bad?" Zhou Ke asked curiously.

"Captain Matsuda, I haven't finished telling you just now. That list requires the combination of two code books to decipher. One of them was found in the mainland, and the other is here..." Yamashita said bitterly.

"The code book is also lost?" Zhou Ke became interested now. This passenger ship is not ordinary. It really has hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

"Yes, sir. Just now, the colleague who held the code book was killed." Xiao Songlin said with a pale face.

"Tell me the process in detail. I'll give you some advice first, and then we'll start looking for things." Zhou Ke ordered.

"Sir, it's like this..." At the signal from his team leader, Xiao Songlin told everything that had happened since the list was lost.

At first, everything was normal after they brought their belongings on board, and to be on the safe side, the twenty of them lived in four adjacent rooms, and the list and code book were kept by different people.

But after Zhou Ke came on board, security forces were unprecedentedly strengthened and no unexpected situations had occurred, so the people in the Special High Technology Department were no longer so vigilant.

During dinner, unlike the previous plan, not everyone ate in the room. Instead, some members chose to go to a more upscale restaurant.

It was during this period of time that the problem occurred. The member of the Special High Technology Department who was carrying the list and two other companions were all knocked unconscious while having dinner in the room, and the list was lost!

Then, just now, because the list was lost, most of the people were arranged to go out to search. Three members, including the one carrying the code book, were left at the residence to guard the three unconscious people.

But when the people who went out to search returned to their residence to get their things, something strange happened: the team member who carried the code book died in the toilet of the room.

The other two team members were one dead and one unconscious, and even the three who were originally unconscious were injured to varying degrees.

"What are the names of the three people who were originally unconscious?" Zhou Ke asked again with some surprise.

"Honda Plains, Murakami Ichiro, Otani Jiro."
