Chapter 242: The Mysterious Missing Cargo Ship

When I walked out of Honiara International Airport, I immediately met little Antonio and Nina, brothers and sisters who came to pick me up. The brother and sister, Shi Xiaofeng and Cai Xiaohui hugged warmly, and then everyone got into the car rented by Little Antonio and went to the hotel.

Shi Xiaofeng couldn't wait to learn the details of the missing cargo ship, and the four of them still conversed in English. "Five days ago, Nina and I personally led a team of six ships loaded with iron ore from Australia to Fiji, stopping in the Solomon Islands to recuperate and replenish supplies. Shortly after we left Honiara, we found that we were missing the smallest boat in the fleet......"

Shi Xiaofeng said: "Stop, is the missing boat also loaded with iron ore?"

Nina sighed, her beautiful face full of remorse, and said, "On the boat is a hundred million dollars worth of gold ore...... It's all my fault, I didn't listen to my brother, and I personally escorted the boat!"

Shi Xiaofeng and Cai Xiaohui were taken aback when they heard "100 million US dollars". Little Antonio said, "Nina, don't blame yourself, I'm also responsible...... This batch of goods is our largest business in the past few years, and it also has shares in Zihuan International, so I attach great importance to it. Two of the six ships did not actually have cargo, but were equipped with heavily armed escorts to protect the boats, one on the left and one on the right, and the small boats were also covered with a layer of iron ore on the surface of the gold ore to hide people's eyes and ears......"

Speaking of this, he slammed the steering wheel and said hatefully: "With such strict protection, something still happened! The strange thing is that when we left Honiara, none of us noticed the abnormality, and a living boat, with the cargo, disappeared without a trace......

Cai Xiaohui interjected: "There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, there is an internal ghost in the fleet!"

Little Antonio was stunned and asked, "What is an inner ghost?"

Cai Xiaohui explained: "The inner ghost is the inner traitor and the spy. ”

Little Antonio and Nina shouted at the same time, "Yes!" Little Antonio continued: "The second mate Louis, who escorted the boat, and the three sailors also disappeared at the same time......! But after three days of searching, I couldn't find this damn guy!"

Cai Xiaohui said: "Since there was no abnormality when you left Honiara, it means that the boat did not go missing in Honiara, and it should have happened shortly after you left Honiara." ”

Nina sighed, "My brother and I thought about it later, but just for the two of us to find Louis on more than 900 islands in Solomon, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack...... That's why I thought of asking you to help. ”

Cai Xiaohui said: "There should be more than one mole in Luis, there are also moles among the escorts on the two armed ships, otherwise Louis would not have gotten the boat away without knowing it!"

Little Antonio sighed with emotion: "If Miss Cai was also in the fleet at that time, maybe there would not have been an accident! I only figured out this truth yesterday, and Miss Cai has just learned what happened, and she can analyze it to the end!"

Shi Xiaofeng couldn't help but say: "This truth is obvious, why did you only figure it out yesterday?"

Antonio Jr. said: "One is because there are many escorts on the two armed ships, and the other is that these people are my henchmen, and I don't believe they will betray me." ”

Cai Xiaohui sighed: "For 100 million US dollars, most people can even sell their own mothers, let alone the boss!"

Nina couldn't help but laugh. Little Antonio sighed: "Miss Cai is young, but she understands human nature so thoroughly!"

Nina said: "Don't worry now, Brother Shi's kung fu is amazing, Miss Cai is wise, with the two of you, you will definitely be able to catch Louis and recover the gold ore!"

Little Antonio smiled reluctantly, then frowned again. He really couldn't relax, and he wasn't optimistic about how much the help of his two Chinese friends would increase the chances of recovering the gold ore. If he can't get it back, it means that the loss of 100 million dollars must be compensated by his company......

Could it be that our Antonio family has been cursed by fate to suffer such a doom twice in one year?—— little Antonio thought pessimistically.

Shi Xiaofeng is not worried, he thinks that it is a big deal to be like the last time I helped Lao Xiong, I will go to Las Vegas ten times again and win enough 100 million US dollars, haha.

So, he relaxed and looked out the car window. There are almost no high-rise buildings, no traffic jams and no crowds in Honiara, and it is full of verdant trees, green grass and colorful flowers, which is peaceful and fresh.

The buildings in the residential area are quite distinctive, each household has a single single-story wooden house, and the house is surrounded by a small garden, green trees, quiet and elegant. The roof is made of a corrugated sheet of zinc iron, and a sink is installed along the eaves, from which rainwater flows into the sink and is concentrated in a large tank or underground pool. The water storage tank is like a small tap water tower, connected with water pipes, leading to the kitchen and bathroom indoors, just like running water.

Shi Xiaofeng has never seen such a house, it is very novel, and it is called Cai Xiaohui to see it. Cai Xiaohui was in good spirits because of the time difference, and as soon as she arrived at the hotel, Shi Xiaofeng let her rest, and she and the little Antonio brothers and sisters began to do business.

Leaving the hotel, Shi Xiaofeng said: "The matter is serious, have you reported the case to the local police?"

Nina said, "Of course I did. But the work efficiency of this place was so low that my brother and I waited at the police station for more than an hour before the police came to receive us. The guy lazily asked a few questions, made a note, and asked us to go back to the hotel and wait for news, I don't think there may be any news even if we wait for half a year!"

Little Antonio said: "So, I don't dare to count on them at all, so I'll figure it out myself." ”

Shi Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Let's assume that the second mate Louis is a traitor, and he and three sailors hijacked the boat. In the vast South Pacific, it is very dangerous for such a small ship to sail without a large ship. So, it's likely that they're hiding on a small island in the Solomon Islands! Louis did this for money, but it wasn't easy for him to sell the gold ore - first, he would never dare to sell it through formal channels. Second, he is also unlikely to contact buyers in the Americas or Europe because the distance is too far. On the whole, it is most likely that he is selling the underground armed forces to the Solomon Islands -- because there are many ethnic conflicts and armed coups in this place, no matter which side needs money the most! Louis is a thief and may be in a hurry to sell at a low price, and the buyer will be able to get a huge profit through the international black market if he gets this batch of gold ore, and the money obtained will be used to buy weapons!"

After saying this, little Antonio was convinced, and Nina admired it even more, looked at Shi Xiaofeng with a look of admiration and said: "Brother Shi, I didn't expect you to be very good at kung fu and your brain, how can my brother and I not be able to think of these truths you analyzed." ”

Shi Xiaofeng smiled: "I can't think of it either, these analyses were told to me by my girlfriend just now at the hotel." ”

Nina praised: "Miss Cai is amazing, she is younger than me, she has such a mind!"

Little Antonio also said: "Miss Cai is the wisest woman I have ever met!"

Listening to others praise Cai Xiaohui, Shi Xiaofeng was naturally happy. He continued: "Now, let's go find the underground forces nearby, so that the search area is much smaller." ”

Antonio Jr. said: "I have inquired, the most famous underground armed forces around Honiara are called 'Hawkeye', and they have kidnapped the Governor appointed by the Queen of England - although the Solomon Islands ** is the Prime Minister's responsibility system, but because it is a member of the British Commonwealth, the Queen of England is the nominal ****, and the Governor General is the Queen's plenipotentiary representative." ”

Shi Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Dare to kidnap the governor? Okay, let's go and meet 'Eagle Eye'! Where is the specific scope of their activities?"

Antonio Jr. said: "Not far east of Honiara is the island of Makila, which is the nest of Eagle Eye. ”

Nina suddenly remembered something and said, "Oops, we found the boat missing near Makila Island!"

Shi Xiaofeng banged on the car window and said, "Let's go to Makila Island immediately and break into the 'Eagle Eye' lair!"

Little Antonio hesitated a little and said, "Just the three of us, will we break into the 'Hawkeye' lair?"

Shi Xiaofeng said: "It has been three days since the incident, and it is very likely that Louis has sold the gold ore, and we will not hurry up yet, and when the 'Eagle Eye' is resold on the international black market, we will never be able to recover it!"

Little Antonio was shocked and said loudly: "Okay, let's go to Maquila Island now!"
