There was only a large piece of granite in the chest, which was hard enough to be used for the façade decoration of a magnificent building, and was easily sourced and found everywhere.

Hit, Liu Yan said secretly, the enemy is clearly repairing the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, the real meteorite must be transported out of the country through other channels, and a false shot means that the enemy has been alerted.

He subconsciously checked the inside of the wooden box with a flashlight, trying to find some clues, and sure enough, he saw a note with the words "Good luck" written in English.

There is no doubt that the enemy is ridiculing the incompetence of the opponent.

Three hundred meters away, upstairs at the Port Authority, a man was holding a Zeiss six-fold telescope looking at Liu Yanzhi in the warehouse, and every move of the crossing group was being monitored, including their room number at the Chinachem Hotel and even their daily recipes.

After Liu Yanzhi left, someone went to the warehouse to check the wooden box and reported it to Chen Qingfeng, who was sitting in the office of the Port Authority.

Chen Qingfeng picked up the telephone: "Answer the Jiangdong Provincial Telephone Bureau for me." After some transfer, the phone went to Chan's desk and reported the latest findings to him.

"They've been tricked." Chan said, "Things are getting more and more interesting, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us." ”

"Dashuai, are you still following?" Chen Qingfeng asked.

"Withdraw." Chen Zikun said with interest, according to the verification during this time, those three people obviously had nothing to do with the brief abduction of his daughter, there were too many major events in front of him, and he didn't have the energy to care about these irrelevant things.

……

Liu Yan walked out of the dock and got into a black Buick sedan Dang Aiguo and Lei Meng sat inside.

"Hit." Liu Yanzhi said, "There is a piece of granite in the box, I don't know at what point the bag was adjusted, maybe it was changed in Jiujiang, we have no way to verify." ”

Dang Aiguo was silent for a while and said: "No matter what tricks they use, the destination is the United States after all, and if they can't block it in Shanghai, let's go to the United States to find it, go back to the hotel first, today is the last day of 1948, since you are here, let's spend the New Year in Shanghai." ”

At the same time, inside Longhua Airport, Dr. Jones and his entourage were talking on the phone in front of the airline counter, sometimes softly, sometimes loudly, so frightened that the staff of Eurasia Airlines did not dare to approach.

Shanghai Longhua International Airport is the largest and most complete civil airport in the Far East, flights to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Taipei take off and land here, and at the same time, Longhua Airport is a military airport, and the bombers and destroyers of the Kuomintang Air Force come and go to and from various civil war battlefields, and the airport is busy, and mistakes are inevitable.

According to the original plan, Dr. Jones and his party did not stay in Shanghai for too long, they spent at most an hour at Longhua Airport to transfer the cargo, after the doctor chartered a Eurasia Airlines cargo plane to fly directly to Tokyo, Japan, where they planned to spend the New Year, and then fly back to the mainland in the New Year of 1949 on a U.S. Navy plane.

This plan is interlocking, and the rupture of any link will cause the failure of the whole plan, so Dr. Jones spent enough dollars to ensure that there will be no problems in any link, but the more he is afraid of something, the more something comes, and the Eurasian Airlines plane he chartered was robbed!

This kind of absurd thing will also appear in China in 1948, the person who grabbed Dr. Jones's plane is said to be the Yang company, this company's background is quite deep, the Confucian family is one of the so-called four major families in China, holding the financial lifeline of the Nationalist government, and President Chiang Kai-shek is related by marriage, they do nonsense, hoarding gasoline and drugs and other government-controlled materials, and openly fighting guns on the streets, then, it is not unusual to grab the plane, even if the plane is chartered by American friends.

In short, the plane that was supposed to be carrying Dr. Jones and the meteorite has now flown to Taipei, and it is impossible to temporarily change to other planes, the staff of Eurasia Airlines keep apologizing, and it is useless for the doctor to call and complain, and the top management has no choice, at most they will arrange tomorrow's plane.

Dr. Jones rejected the offer, telling the Eurasian Airlines account manager in charge: "No, tomorrow is 1949, you can't make me wait a whole year, I have to fly to Tokyo today, the whole flight is scheduled, I can't change it." ”

In a mouthful of authentic, St. John's English, Dr. Jones said to Dr. Jones that he was really sorry that there really weren't any planes today.

Dr. Jones put the phone away, angry, he knew that An Tai's crossing team was also haunted at this time anchor, and he had already set his eyes on himself, so he would deliberately make a fake box to take the sea route, when the opponent found out that the box was Xibei goods, they should have flown to Japan, but the fact is that they are still stranded at Longhua Airport, in case the opponent kills, he dare not guarantee to win.

"I'll find out if there's anyone I can help with." Dr. Jones muttered to himself, took out a small laptop from his purse, sat in the corner and began to search, this computer certainly does not have Internet access, but it stores a huge amount of historical information, and after some research and comparison, he came to the conclusion: "One of Jack Ma's generals may be able to help." ”

"What about our friends?" One of his subordinates asked.

"I hope they have a happy new year." Dr. Jones said.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening of December 31, 1948, at the official residence at No. 10 Fenglin Road, Jinjiang City, Jiangdong Province, Chen Zikun held a dinner to entertain his old classmate, George Brown, who also graduated from the West Point Military Academy. Commodore Howard of the Marine Corps, as well as Bill Brown. Colonel Chand.

The oak table in the dining room of the official residence is full of white porcelain, silver knives and forks, and gorgeous candlesticks, Chen Zikun is also dressed in military uniform, but he has three generals on his shoulders, as a graduate of the same period, he has been mixed with the army general, of course, the Chinese army's rank is far less gold than the US military rank, but Chen Zikun also has another identity, as an Allied observer, he also has the rank of US Army brigadier general.

The old classmates gathered together, talked about the past, and then talked about the current situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and before they knew it, it was already more than eight o'clock, and everyone was talking about it, and Chen Zikun's secretary Liu Ting came down from upstairs and said: "General Howard's phone number, an international call from Japan. ”

"I'm sorry." Brigadier Howard got up, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and went upstairs to answer the phone, while the others continued to talk and laugh.

The brigadier general entered Chan's office, picked up the phone and said, "I'm Howard......"

In the next room, Liu Ting picked up the extension and listened to the conversation, she was not only Chen Zikun's secretary, but also took care of intelligence analysis, Howard was an American general, and the content of his phone call must be very informative.

However, Liu Ting was disappointed, this call was nothing unusual, it was just a general military arrangement, and the US military stationed in Japan called to ask for instructions on a flight plan change, and several American expatriates wanted to take a military transport plane to Tokyo, which needed the approval of the general.

The dinner lasted until eleven o'clock at night, looking at this posture is to wait for the New Year's bell to ring, Chen Zikun is nearly half a hundred years old after all, a little tired, went to the bathroom, when he came out, Liu Ting was already waiting with a hot towel, he wiped his face and asked, "Xiaonan is asleep?" ”

"The kids are asleep." Liu Ting said, "Beitai is also very calm. ”

"Oh, you can rest too." Chen Zikun said, suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, "What is the content of George's international call?" ”

"It's nothing, his subordinates want to temporarily transfer a C97 transport plane from Jianqiao Airport to Longhua to pick up a few people, and then fly to Japan overnight.

Chen Zikun's heart moved: "How many people, what goods?" ”

"I didn't mention it, I just said that it was an American expatriate."

Chen Zikun paused, his mind turned rapidly, in the past few days, all kinds of information have gathered on his desk,

These pieces of information were put together, and the originally chaotic situation gradually became clear and clear, and Chen Zikun suddenly became clear, things should be like this, several explorers from the United States first obtained information resources in Nanjing, and then went to Jiujiang, and got a quick and mysterious thing in the local area, planning to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and transport the treasures belonging to the Chinese to the United States.

And those three mysterious Chinese probably belong to a civil society that is responsible for protecting national treasures, and they are doing everything possible to prevent foreigners from stealing the treasures of the Chinese nation.

At present, the Chinese still have not been able to fight the cunning American explorers, whether to help or not, Chen Zikun was a little hesitant, but it only took a few seconds for him to make a decision.

Help! There is no need to think much about the big right and wrong, Chen Zikun immediately said: "You tell Qingfeng immediately, and then he reminds the person surnamed Zhou, the person they are staring at will fly to Japan tonight, and he will take a stratosphat cargo ship." ”

"It may be too late." Liu Ting said, "Longhua Airport is not so easy to enter, and it is even more difficult for Americans to interfere in their affairs." ”

"It's up to people to make things happen, and we have to help those we should help." After Chen Zikun finished speaking, he handed the hot towel back to Liu Ting, and continued to go to the restaurant to drink and chat with his old classmates, the hard wood in the fireplace was burning, and in another hour, 1948 would pass.

……

Shanghai, the Bund, in a nightclub, musicians from the Philippines are playing jazz music hard, the audience is bustling with guests, looking around, a shiny airplane head, men in straight suits, women smiling, there are many American soldiers, sailors on warships, marines soldiers, and dashing air force pilots, everyone is waiting for the coming of the New Year in the music.

The three members of the group were among them, sitting around a small table, smoking cigars and whiskey in front of them, all dressed in rented tuxedos, hard-necked shirts, white bow ties, and lots of hair wax, watching the red men and women dance on the dance floor.

A waiter walked over with a tray in his hand, a bottle of brandy was placed on the tray, and a piece of paper was pressed underneath, and Dang Aiguo looked left and right, and then picked up the piece of paper, on which was written a sentence without a beginning or an end: 0 o'clock, Longhua Airport stratosphere cargo ship.
