As soon as the sentence was revealed, the marine police immediately knew that this "chief" was a layman, "Chief, it's not good to interrogate together, it's easy to collude." ”

Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed, "Okay, let's bring the captain first." ”

The marine police agreed, and went with their colleagues to pick up people.

Wang Xinran has been talking to the headquarters on the phone, but most of the time she is just listening, and occasionally asks questions, and the content of the call seems to be related to Zhao Ying and others, as if to determine the whereabouts of Zhao Ying and others.

Before the captain was brought in, Wang happily ended the call, with a more serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"She didn't seem to be on board at the time of the incident. Wang said happily.

Wu Zhongyuan just wanted to ask why, but there was a knock on the door outside, and the marine police brought the captain here.

The captain is a fat man in his fifties, and the captains of large ships like this don't work, and they are pampered on weekdays, with a fat head and big ears, and he knows that he is a captain, and he thinks he is a cadre who is not known.

But this guy doesn't have the usual commanding spirit now, his face is pale, and he has been trembling since he entered the door, with a look of palpitations that he has escaped death.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't do the interrogator's thing, Wang Xinran came in person, at this time Wang Xinran seemed to be a different person, very casual and serious, smoking a cigarette, with a straight face, staring at the other party's eyes.

If this captain was born before the liberation, he must have been a traitor, and Wang Xinran only said, "Tell me what happened." So he came to a bamboo tube and poured beans, and said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

According to this guy's confession, they picked up their employer from the dock yesterday afternoon, and the employer gave him 10,000 red envelopes after getting on the ship, asking him to drive the unnecessary crew off the ship.

The seven men were all men, in their thirties and forties, burly and strong, who spoke in non-standard Mandarin and spoke English when they spoke to each other.

The captain of an ocean freighter must know English, but this guy is a captain of inland waterway shipping, and he doesn't know English, and he doesn't know what those people say when they talk to each other.

The men got on the boat and gave him a coordinate to drive the boat there. This captain often goes back and forth on the Yangtze River, and is very familiar with the situation in the Yangtze River basin, and he doesn't want to go to that coordinate at a glance, the reason is very simple, the coordinate given to him by the other party is a place called Black Dragon Pond, which is a tributary of the waters of the Lao Ye Temple of Poyang Lake.

The people who run the boat are more superstitious, and this captain is no exception, when he learned that they were going to Black Dragon Pond, he didn't want to go, and he had to find an excuse if he didn't want to go, and his excuse was that the water level in the waters of Black Dragon Pond was very low, and Poyang No. 1 would run aground when he sailed in.

We know how deep it is. That's the response from the other side.

After the other party threw another 10,000 yuan over, Poyang No. 1 lifted anchor and sailed to the waters of Lao Ye Temple.

After setting off, the other party confirmed to him the maximum speed of Poyang No. 1, and when he learned that Poyang No. 1 could reach a speed of 30 knots per hour, he let them absorb water ballast.

The main purpose of the water absorption ballast is to increase its own weight to resist strong winds and waves, but there is no big wind and waves in the waters of Poyang Lake, and the captain must ask the reason, but the other party did not give an explanation.

When renting a boat, the captain always asks the other party about the purpose of renting the boat, and the explanation given by the other party is to catch the longjaw, which is commonly known as the Yangtze River saury.

This explanation is very far-fetched, because Poyang No. 1 is a freighter, not a fishing boat, and it is past the season of the Yangtze River saury swimming.

Since he couldn't ask anything, the captain didn't ask, and drove the boat to the vicinity of Black Dragon Pond according to the other party's request.

After arriving at the destination, those people began to drop radar buoys from everywhere, and by this time the captain had confirmed that they were not here to catch the Yangtze River saury, because the Yangtze River saury was very small, more than half a catty, and it was impossible to be detected by the radar.

Soon, they made a discovery, and then opened the boxes that had been carried onto the ship, and the captain was shocked to see the contents of the boxes in the cockpit, because the boxes contained a football-sized amount of sunken*.

After the first* was dropped and exploded at the bottom of the water, something floated up under the water, and the captain did not see clearly, only that the dark waves were surging not far from starboard, and then the hull shook violently.

At this time, someone on the deck shot into the water with a shotgun, and at first the captain thought that this man was holding *, but later learned that this man was not shooting an anesthetic needle, but some kind of small positioning device.

After that, those people mastered the movement of the big guy under the water, and from time to time they abandoned* to bomb it.

At first, the captain thought that the men were trying to capture the large creature underwater, but later it became clear that the men did not want to capture it alive at all, but only wanted to blow it up.

It didn't take long for the big guy to leave the waters of Black Dragon Pond under the bombardment of *, and Poyang No. 1 followed and chased, dropping * from time to time, but it never blew it up.

Later, there was not much left, so those people changed their strategy and chased it downstream, but the big guy didn't seem to want to stay away from Black Dragon Pond, and he turned around several times halfway, but was intercepted by Poyang No. 1.

In the end, the big guy no longer tried to turn back, but kept moving downstream, Poyang No. 1 continued to chase, and finally sailed into the undercurrent, after encountering the undercurrent, they also tried to turn the rudder to get rid of the undercurrent, at this moment, the big guy under the water began to ram the bow of the ship, and the continuous vigorous collision made it difficult for Poyang No. 1 to stabilize the hull, and finally capsized crookedly.

After the captain finished speaking, Wang happily snuffed out the cigarette butt and looked at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran, and then asked the captain, "You didn't see what that big guy was from beginning to end?"

"I saw it, but I didn't see it all. The captain shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

As soon as the boat capsized, the big guy turned around and went upstream, and as it turned around, its tail came out of the water. The captain spoke with a tremor, and he was afraid.

"What is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The black tail is exactly the same as the dragon's tail on TV. The captain's teeth trembled as he spoke.

"Apart from you, were there any other ships near the Lao Ye Temple at the time of the incident?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I didn't pay attention. The captain shook his head.

"We can find out this. Wang said happily.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan no longer asked questions, Wang Xinran called the marine police to come in and took the captain away.

Wang happily stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window, "They are turning the tiger away from the mountain." ”

"I think so too," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Their goal is not to lead the dragon, but to lure the dragon away and into the place where the dragon is entrenched." ”

Wang Xinran's face was solemn, "Yes, Poyang No. 1 has bought them at least two hours, no matter what they want, it is likely that they have already succeeded." ”

"Not necessarily," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If they succeed, they will immediately notify the steamer to retreat, and the steamer has been entangled with Jiaolong before capsizing, which means that they have not succeeded." ”

"Haha, that makes sense," Wang smiled happily, "if that's the case, they're out of luck." ”

Wang Xinran could laugh, but Wu Zhongyuan couldn't.

"What do you think is where the dragon is entrenched?" Wang asked happily.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's hard to say, but it must be something it cares about very much, otherwise it wouldn't be reluctant to stay away after being attacked, let alone rush back immediately after knocking over the ship." ”

Before Wang Xinran could answer, there was a knock at the door, and it was the marine police who came to ask who would be interrogated next.

"Do you still need to ask?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wang Xinran, the captain was the person who knew the situation best, he didn't suspect that the captain had anything to hide, and it didn't seem necessary to interrogate other people.

Wang Xinran thought about it, and the water police said, "Come on, make a record for the chief engineer and the crew, release it earlier, and don't mention us to them." ”

The two nodded in agreement.

Wang Xinran grabbed the cigarette and lighter on the interrogation table, glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, and the two left the interrogation room.

"They don't know we're here," said Wang, "and when the boat capsizes, they're anxious to know if it's brought to our attention, and it's likely that they're going to find out who interrogated them and what they're interrogating, and let them go, and lure them out of their holes." ”

"Okay. Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Wang Xinran noticed that Wu Zhongyuan was depressed and asked, "Are you worried about your senior brother or are you worried about her?"

Wu Zhongyuan sighed and did not answer.

After leaving the Authority, the two returned to the city and lived in a military guest house.

Wang Xinran has been communicating with the headquarters, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the news came that on the day of the incident, there was indeed a small speedboat going to the water area of the incident, according to eyewitnesses at the port, there were at least five people on the speedboat, and a company specializing in diving equipment in the city had sold five sets of imported diving equipment the day before the incident, and the buyer was a young woman, who paid the bill in cash.

"Where is this speedboat now?" Wu Zhongyuan's heart was heavy.

Wang Xinran did not answer.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at her, "Did they go ashore?"

Wang happily shook his head, "The wreckage of the speedboat floated to the shore and was just found at noon today. ”

Wu Zhongyuan's complexion changed greatly.

Seeing him like this, Wang Xinran hurriedly said, "Don't worry, they may still be alive." ”

Wu Zhongyuan looked up.

"The diving equipment they bought could only store enough oxygen for them to go into the water for 45 minutes, but the speedboat stayed where it was and didn't move until it was destroyed and sunk by the dragon." ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"There are all kinds of signs, and there is probably an underwater space in the place where the dragon is entrenched......"
