Chapter 562: Full Alert

A top-notch killer?

Neurotic!

Meng Shaoyuan felt that these people were really a bunch of neurotics!

With the power of an individual, you want to go against a huge organization?

Isn't there something wrong with it?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't worry about his safety at all.

When did these people really succeed?

Relying on a brave force, vainly trying to change the entire overall situation is undoubtedly a fool's dream there.

It was probably Mao Qike's death that brought some shock to those killers, and until they came to the dock the next afternoon, they were all calm all the way

In order to ensure that Meng Shaoyuan could get on the ship safely, Wu Jingyi deployed a large number of agents near the dock.

Those "travelers" who asked about the number of ships and fares had barge guns in their arms.

The dock coolies who were resting, with submachine guns in sacks under their butts.

Those patrolling around, vigilantly watching every suspicious person.

Anyone who wants to have a bad intention, maybe it is much better to be caught by the patrol than to be killed by those agents.

No one can succeed here.

Here, it's Shanghai, it's the Public Concession!

Meng Shaoyuan brought three subordinates: Gan Ning, Xu Zhu, and Ma Dai.

The captain and first mate had long been bought by Wu Jingyi.

They only had two options, the first was to send Meng Shaoyuan to Wuhan safely, and then they could get a large bounty.

The second is that once Meng Shaoyuan has an accident on the road, then something terrible will happen to them and their families.

It's brutal.

But this is a time of war.

Meng Shao was originally arranged in the first-class cabin, and the three cabins closest to it were all wrapped up by him.

He lived alone, Gan Ning and Ma Dai lived in one family, and Xu Zhu's cabin was next to Meng Shaoyuan's.

Xu Zhu was the first to check the cabin, and after confirming that it was safe, he invited Meng Shaoyuan in.

"There is a submachine gun under the bed, and a Browning under the pillow...... Xu Zhu asked Meng Shaoyuan to look at it: "There are two hidden hands here, and here, there is a spare Browning ......"

Neurotic!

Here is a steamer, a steamer bound for Wuhan, not a battlefield!

What are you going to do with so many weapons?

Fighting?

How can a bounty make people so panicked?

Meng Shaoyuan sighed a little.

Fuck, sooner or later we'll have to figure out who came up with this poisonous plan!

……

"It has been reported that the 'Evil Eagle' has left the nest and is on board the ferry 'Firebird' to Wuhan."

"Very well, what about our people?"

"Two groups of people have already boarded the ship, including Liao Yuting, a former military commander agent. In the meantime, we've spread the word that a killer is expected to have boarded the ship. ”

"Okay, I think it's hard for the 'evil eagle' to fly this time."

A smile appeared on Matsumoto Hitotsugu's face.

"Evil Eagle" is Meng Shaoyuan's code name!

"Pull out his wings and let his body float on the Yangtze River!"

Matsumoto Rentsugi's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Your Excellency, Director." Kojiro Kawamoto asked, "Why don't you just mobilize naval forces and intercept them directly on the Yangtze River?" ”

"You don't understand." Matsumoto Renji was a little helpless: "The 'Firebird' is the property of the Americans, belonging to the American Langhua Shipping Company, after the Daguang Cinema incident, the empire has been under great pressure, and the Americans have even begun to claim compensation from us, so the military department has repeatedly told that during the extraordinary period, it is strictly forbidden to have a head-on conflict with the European and American powers."

Many of our supplies must be imported from the United States, and if we become hostile to the United States, we may trigger a series of subsequent reactions. Therefore, although the 'evil eagle' is very important to us, what the military department and the country should consider is the whole, they will not turn against the United States because of a Chinese, they will never do such a thing. ”

Kojiro Kawamoto nodded slightly: "But even without the help of the navy, Meng Shaoyuan may be difficult to escape this time." ”

"Not necessarily." Habara Koichi, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly said: "If Meng Shaoyuan is so easy to be assassinated, then they don't deserve to be our biggest opponents. I think that since he dared to board the ship, he must be fully prepared. I can even say that even if the Navy is willing to help, it will not be possible to find where Meng Shao is hiding on the 'Firebird'.

The people we sent will not succeed, and neither will Liao Yuting, they are facing one of the most cunning opponents in history. I'm even very worried that they might not come back. Or in every corner of the ship, there is a gun that has long been pointed at them, and as soon as they make a move, the bullet will pierce their heart......"

"You're too pessimistic, Habara Shaosa." Matsumoto Renji sneered: "You proposed this plan, and now you question it?" That's right, Meng Shaoyuan is indeed very powerful, but he hasn't been terrifying to this extent, right? ”

"Your Excellency, Director." Habara Koichi said lightly: "The key point of this plan is not to assassinate Meng Shaoyuan at one time, but to make him live in vigilance and fear every minute and every second every day, and always be on guard against someone assassinating him, he is also a human being, and he will also be tired."

We can find opportunities, and no matter how much a person is on guard, there will always be flaws. And now, it is the time when he is at his most energetic, and his momentum is like a rainbow, so we can't succeed. But as the number of assassinations increases, he will become more and more tired and distracted, and that's when our real chance will be! ”

……

Is there a killer on board?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know.

If there is, it means that someone around him has defected and revealed his whereabouts.

Not bad either.

Because I was prepared.

Before leaving, I discussed with Wu Jingyi, if I encountered a killer on the ship, then as soon as I arrived in Wuhan, Wu Jingyi would be notified as soon as possible, and then several suspected objects that had been planned long ago would be investigated one by one.

Hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible.

It's not scary to have a mole around, it's scary not to find out.

There was a brief knock on the door outside.

It's a code.

"Come in."

Gan Ning walked in: "Report, after investigation, fifteen passengers on board bought tickets this morning, and eight people bought tickets temporarily. Five of them were men and three were women. After investigation, all of these individuals were suspected of being assassins. One of them, with a figure and appearance, is very similar to Liao Yuting described by the old agent in Shanghai, and is the key object of suspicion. ”

There was another knock at the door.

It was Ma Dai who walked in this time: "In the first class, there is a couple, both about fifty years old, and when the waiter wanted to help them with their luggage, they were refused, which is not in line with the norm, and I am focusing on monitoring." ”

Meng Shaoyuan let out an "oh": "Where do the other suspects live?" ”

"It's all in second class."

"Hey, tell me about these people." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly sighed: "If you want to kill someone, you have to pay at least a little blood, right?" My head is worth 5 million yen. Living in second class, the chances of assassinating me were of course greatly reduced. ”

He thought what he said was humorous, but Gan Ning didn't smile at all: "There is a chance to assassinate you." ”

"What chance?"

"Tomorrow night, there will be a dance party on board, which is free for first-class guests and ticketed for second-class guests. If I had to do it to you, it would be the best choice. ”

"Huh? Oh. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed.

It seems that you are not the only one who is the smartest.

"Closely monitored." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly changed the topic: "If you are not sure, don't do it, don't disturb other guests." ”

"Understood."

Gan Ning then asked, "What about once the target is confirmed?" ”

"Confirmed?"

Meng Shaoyuan sneered......

……

The "Firebird" moved smoothly on the river.

The whistle of the meal sounded.

But at this time, the first-class guests had already eaten in the special restaurant.

"Hello, sir."

A couple greeted politely.

"Hello."

Meng Shaoyuan also smiled and said hello.

"The surname is Wu, Koutian Wu, Wu Rong. This is my wife, Xing Meile. Wu Rong politely introduced himself: "I want to ask, why can we only order Western food, but you can eat Chinese food here?" ”

"That's it." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him, and then looked at the other guests on the table, which seemed to be really abrupt: "It's very simple, spend money." ”

"Ah, spending money? We've already spent money, and the price of first class is not cheap. ”

"That's because you didn't spend it properly." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "I think this meal is about seven to eight times more expensive than on land." If you are willing to spend this money, you can still eat authentic Chinese food. ”

Wu Rong suddenly realized.

"Meeting is fate." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Since we have all met, let's sit down and eat together." ”

"What's so embarrassing about that?"

"It's okay, it's okay, we can meet in Pingshui, and we can be companions on the road."

"Then it's disrespectful."

Wu Rong and his wife sat down.

It can be seen that Xing Meile is obviously well-educated, and she can't find fault with her sitting posture at all.

"Mr. Wu went to Wuhan to do business?"

"Yes, yes." Wu Rong hurriedly replied: "I do a little business, and in the war season, I can't help it, just eat and eat." What about you? Haven't asked your name yet? ”

"Me?" Meng Shaoyuan said generously: "My name is Meng Shaoyuan. ”

"Oh, it's Mr. Meng. What does Mr. Meng do? ”

"There's something special about what I do." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I'm a spy." ”

"Agent's?"

Wu Rong was obviously for a while.

"Yes, and a big agent."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide it at all: "I am the director of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command, and I have thousands of large and small spies, right?" ”

"Awesome, awesome. Disrespectful, disrespectful. Wu Rong looked a little overwhelmed.

"And yes." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly lowered his voice: "There are many people on this ship who are going to kill me, maybe that waiter, yes, it's him, maybe it's a killer!" ”
