Chapter 6: Suzuka Maru
Shen Rui grew up by the sea, likes everything related to the sea, as well as those unknown mysterious events in the world, and spends a lot of energy on research.
The Suzuka Maru incident happened to happen in Bohai City, where Shen Rui lived, so Shen Rui, who is an amateur of occultism and oceanography, knows a little about it.
"If it's really the Suzuka Maru, then it's going to be interesting." Shen Rui said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the Suzuka Maru is a Japanese merchant ship that set off from Bohai Port before the end of World War II and went to Yokohama, Japan. ”
Ma San was stunned, "It turned out to be a sunken ship?" What are these Japanese looking for it for? ”
Shen Rui said: "After the defeat of the Pacific War, Japan already knew that it was exhausted, so it did its best to send the gold and silver treasures looted in China to the Japanese mainland, and the Suzuka Maru was suspected to be a ship that transported gold back then. ”
"Maybe these Japanese want to salvage the gold on the ship, but unfortunately it's been too long, and I can't remember all the contents, so I'll wait until I go back and search for it."
Ma San's eyes lit up, "Gold!?" No wonder the Japanese asked me to drop the trawl, saying that I was going to carry some underwater equipment, and asked me if I was familiar with the undercurrents nearby, and where they knew it if it wasn't for diving operations. ”
Shen Rui asked, "Then did you promise them?" ”
Ma San shook his head, "I said I would think about it for two days. ”
……
After separating from Ma San, Shen Rui returned home, carrying three large crabs and a wild yellow croaker weighing half a catty and a half.
Now every day in the sea, Shen Rui will give a part of the harvest to the family, of course, good things must be supplied to the family first, but unfortunately Shen Rui's sister Shen Qiu usually does not go home, the Shen family is a family of three, and they can't eat much if they let go.
After putting the catch in the kitchen, Shen Rui went up to the second floor to check the information.
"This kid, a pound of crabs can be sold for more than 100 yuan, plus this pound and a half of wild yellow croaker, almost 500 yuan of things, how good it is to sell, we can buy some small fish and shrimp to eat, we can save a lot of money." Shen Rui's mother muttered.
Shen Rui's father, Shen Shi, was scalding a pot of rice wine, and when he heard this, he said: "Come on, this is also a piece of filial piety for the child, the old Li family next door has a treat today, I see that the yellow flower he bought is only seven or eight taels in size, and it is still farmed, or you can send this fish to them." ”
"Really? I'll take a look. ”
Shen Rui's mother took the wild yellow flower and went to the next door, and after a while, she came back with two small yellow croakers of seven or eight taels, as well as some oysters that had been peeled.
"I don't want it, the old Li family has to give it to me, and they said that they would invite you to drink two cups another day." Shen Rui's mother said.
Shen Rui's father smiled slightly, "He should invite me to drink, and the half-pound yellow croaker is placed on the table, then it is called face." ”
People on this side of the Bohai Sea pay attention to no fish and no feast, there must always be a big fish on the table to support the scene, and there are many foodies on the seaside, it is not good to put farmed fish on the table, and it is not good to have a wild one, Shen Rui's wild yellow flower of one and a half catties will inevitably add a lot of color to the banquet of the Li family next door tonight.
Yellow croaker is a small fish, not too big, one and a half pounds of yellow croaker is already the top color, want to buy can't buy.
Don't look at my parents complaining all day long that Shen Rui can't live, in fact, the happiness is hidden in my heart, the neighbor's house wants to get a good fish, find a few wild good crabs, who are you looking for? Of course, it's looking for the Shen family.
Since Shen Rui began to go out to sea to fish every day, the Shen family is very prosperous in the local area, and the neighbors are not accompanied by smiling faces when they meet, even those big shipowners like Ma San on the dock, they all know that Shen Rui is a good hand in this business, and the catch in a net every day does not seem to be much, and all of them are high-quality, even if they are on a big iron-hulled boat, they may not be able to pick out better catches than Shen Rui.
Shen Rui, the opinion of the neighbors, naturally didn't care, he was opening his notebook at the moment, concentrating on checking the information about the Suzuka Maru, even when his mother called him to go down to eat, he casually picked up a bowl of oyster egg noodles and returned to the room.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Shen Rui finally understood the ins and outs of the Suzuka Maru.
It is a 2,000-ton cargo merchant ship belonging to the Japanese Suzuka Co., Ltd., which has an inexplicable connection with the Japanese military headquarters during World War II.
The Suzuka Maru sank in the East China Sea, but the only thing that was uncertain was what kind of cargo the ship was carrying at the time, and it had to set sail secretly at midnight, but it encountered a typhoon before dawn and sank directly.
Nowadays, the Internet is highly developed, and there are forums established by occult enthusiasts to discuss various mysterious events, called exploration forums.
Shen Rui is naturally also one of the members of the Discovery Forum, and his rank is not low, second only to the senior members of the veteran members, and most of the information about the Suzuka Maru is found in this forum.
The most common theory is to transport gold, because at that time the Japanese had already hit the house and were almost unable to open the pot, and the lower-level soldiers were still high-spirited, but the high-level people knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would lose to the Americans sooner or later, so more than one ship set sail from China to transport gold and silver treasures to the Japanese mainland, and these are all information that can be checked.
The more sensational version is the delivery of biological and chemical weapons, when the Japanese Kwantung Army built a bacteriological warfare unit in northeast China, and these biological and chemical weapons were transported back to the mainland in order to break the net with the Americans at the last minute.
The development of the Internet brings convenience at the same time, there is also a problem, that is, the information explosion, Shen Rui has found a lot of information about the Suzuka Maru, and he must distinguish from it himself, which information is reliable and which is nonsense from netizens.
It was already late at night, Shen Rui turned off the computer and lay on the bed to think.
In general, it is a high probability that the Suzuka Maru was loaded with a large amount of gold, and even some awesome netizens consulted the historical materials of the Japanese War Archives and came up with the data that the Suzuka Maru contained four tons of gold.
Four tons of gold?
Not grams, not kilograms, but tons! A whole four tons of gold!
Thinking of this, Shen Rui couldn't help but feel excited, such wealth was lying quietly in the depths of the ocean, who wouldn't want to keep it for themselves?
In the past, Shen Rui didn't have much to do about the shipwreck, but now it's different, Shen Rui has Xiaoba, as long as he can know where the shipwreck is, Shen Rui can manipulate Xiaoba to fish out those shining gold from the sea!
"The key is to know the location of the wreck." Shen Rui turned over and said to himself.
……
I didn't sleep much at night when I was excited, Xiaoba and Shen Rui had a spiritual connection, and hinted several times that Shen Rui wanted to absorb some electricity, but Shen Rui didn't pay attention to him.
More than two million kilowatt-hours of electricity were eaten, and Xiao Hachi only grew to two meters and one three, and it didn't look like he would continue to grow up, Shen Rui was slightly dissatisfied, he originally hoped that Xiao Hachi could become the legendary giant kraken, and slap the humpback whale to death, but now it seems that the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer, maybe Xiao Hachi can only grow to such a big one.
Early the next morning, Shen Rui found Ma San on the dock.
"Third brother, we have to take this job." Shen Rui said in a deep voice.
"We?" Ma San was curious about Shen Rui's wording.
"Yes, the stakes are high, and I'm going to be on board this time." Shen Rui nodded and said in a low voice.
