Chapter 267: A Critical Moment
The position of the propeller in the bow of the ship, the thrust generated by the other party has almost no effect. The speed of the freighter is not fast, except for the low visibility, Fang Buwei does not feel uncomfortable.
Fang Buwei silently calculated the distance, and when the cargo ship came out of the dock, Fang Buwei quietly surfaced.
He first took a look at the direction, and found that the freighter had not entered the city, but was continuing southward.
The farther away from the city, the wider the river becomes, and the fewer boats there are on the river. But the speed of the freighter did not increase much.
The steward drove the boat, as if he had come out to go on a trip.
Fang Buwei was not in a hurry at all.
He didn't believe that this man and woman were really as rumored to be, and they liked to drive a boat into the river to experience the style?
It took more than an hour for the freighter to stop. Fang Buwei looked up and saw that the freighter stopped at a fork in the river, and there was only this boat on the river, and there were almost no people on the riverbank.
The steward extinguished the fire, let the boat float on the river, and then went back into the cabin.
What are you doing when you drive the boat to this place where there is no village in front of you and no shop in the back?
Is it to be jointed here?
Fang Buwei put his head out of the water, and his ears were tightly pressed against the wall of the boat.
The cabin was at the stern of the ship, so he could clearly hear the steward's movements.
"Why does it stink so much?" The steward asked as he walked into the cabin.
"Two big men, nested in it all day, don't let them get off the boat, after a long time, how can there be no taste?" The woman inside replied.
"It's hard for you, have you picked it up?" The steward sniffed and asked the accountant.
"It's too shaky along the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it up and burn out the machine," the female accountant replied.
"It's almost time, let me do it!" The steward said again.
The next sound was too thin for Fang Buwei to hear clearly.
But just these two lines of dialogue shocked his heart.
When these two men got on the boat, they came up with a box, what was in the box?
A few minutes later, the sound of "tick tick" sounded in the cabin.
Fang Buwei breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found something substantial.
For so many days, traps have been set up again, and there has been an open investigation and secret visits, just passively accepting the recruitment, and there has been no progress at all in the active investigation, let alone arresting Li Fengnian, so far, even the approximate scope of Li Fengnian's hiding has not been deduced.
Don't say that Gu Zhenlong is in a hurry, Fang Buwei is actually anxious and angry.
These two went to such a deserted place to send telegrams, either to the Japanese or to Li Fengnian.
But it's not enough to know that someone is sending a telegram, but not to know what the other party is receiving.
Fang Buwei thought of the radio direction finder that the system gave him when Jiang Youliang's case was closed.
This thing can only detect the signals it emits, so it's useless at all, huh?
How can we determine Li Fengnian's placement through the telegram sent by these two people?
Fang Bu was in a hurry to think of a way.
Thinking about it, Fang Buwei thought that even if he pulled Qi Zhenjiang over, it was probably useless.
God knows where Li Fengnian received the signal.
Fang Buwei listened quietly, there was no conversation between the two of them, and there was only the sound of pressing the electric button when the announcement was sent in the cabin.
The sky was getting cloudy, and the fog had been pulled up on the river, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Fang Bu was able to feel that the water temperature had dropped. But fortunately, he has a good physique and has no effect.
After almost an hour, the sound of the report died down. Judging by the sound inside, the two people should be receiving the barber machine.
It's finally over!
Fang Buwei freed up a hand and wiped the rain from his face.
During this hour, there was not a single word of conversation between the two men.
A few minutes later, Fang Buwei heard the sound of the steward opening the window again, thinking that he had already put away his things.
"It's raining?" The steward said.
"With such a big fog, can you go back?" The accountant asked worriedly.
The entire surface of the river is foggy and visibility is very low.
"Just drive slower!" The steward replied, "The boss has received the message, and there will definitely be an order to rush back before it gets dark."
It will be two or three o'clock at most, and when it gets dark, I will climb back.
Fang Buwei secretly slandered.
"Let's go first!" The accountant said again, "Let's ventilate first, the smell is too big."
"When I go back, clean up these two R's!" The steward said again.
Listening to the accountant's tone, he seemed to be disappointed.
Then Fang Buwei heard the two of them go out of the cabin together.
The two of them didn't mention a word about the key things, Fang Bu scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
As soon as the freighter started, the noise was too loud, and even if the two of them said something, Fang Buwei estimated that he couldn't hear it clearly.
After suffering such a big sin and gaining nothing, Fang Buwei was really unwilling.
If there is a radio station, will there be a codebook?
With the codebook, you can know what the chief steward reported to Li Fengnian.
After the freighter started, Fang Buwei broke free of the rope on his feet and carefully climbed up from the stern.
The steward and accountant sat in the cab, right with their backs to Fang Buwei.
Fang Buwei glanced at it, and the hatch was behind the two people, at most four or five meters apart.
It's too dangerous to get in through the hatch. But the good thing is that the windows are open.
Fang Buwei crept to the position of the window and climbed in lightly.
The smell of feet came to the face, and it made people's eyes spicy, no wonder the accountant was reluctant to stay inside.
Fang Buwei sniffed and took a quick look, the cabin was only five or six square meters, and by the windows on both sides, there was a narrow bed on each side, and near the head of the bed, there was a wooden box.
Fang Buwei took a look, it was the one that the steward and accountant brought on the boat.
He quickly opened the lid and looked inside, but it was not the radio.
Looking at the trademark again, it turned out to be a battery.
Fang Buwei almost slapped himself in the mouth.
The radio station does not use electricity, can it be blown by mouth?
In addition to the battery, there was also a book in the box, and Fang Buwei took it out to see that it was a big Prajna Sutra.
There are many traces of pencil strokes and then erased inside. Fang is not to infer that this should be a codebook.
The sutra is not handwritten, but printed, and Fang Buwei looked at the book number on the title page, which was printed by the Nanjing Commercial Press last year, and there is still a stamp on it with the price.
Looking at the traces again, there are some imprints written in Japanese, but there are very few imprints left, only a few sporadic characters, which should be caused by not being wiped clean.
Fang Buwei gritted his teeth vigorously and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
This steward and accountant is definitely a Japanese spy, but I don't know if it was a traitor who defected to Japan, or if he was sent by the Japanese special high school to assist Li Fengnian.
Fang is not guessing, the former is more likely.
If it were a professional spy in this special high class, he would not be so careless.
Fang Buwei looked through it carefully, and after making sure that there was no superfluous information in it, he put the Buddhist scriptures back in the box.
The Commercial Press is the largest bookstore in the country, just like the Xinhua Bookstore in the previous life, and this Buddhist scripture is not a rare commodity, and it should still be sold now.
After covering the box, Fang Buwei began to look for the radio station again.
Although he doesn't know much about these things, he has people who know how to do it.
Fang Buwei thought that after checking it out, he would go back and ask Qi Zhenjiang to check it out and see if he could find any clues through the radio and the battery.
The cabin is so big that you can see it at a glance. In addition to the two beds, there is only a small cabinet near the stern.
There was a copper lock hanging on the top of the cabinet, and Fang Buwei pulled out a thin steel wire from the neckline and stabbed the lock open in three or two clicks.
Inside were two new quilts, with a faint smell of fat powder on them, and nothing else.
Fang Buwei closed the cabinet door, locked it again, and then climbed on the deck, touching inch by inch.
When he touched the bottom of a bed on the left, Fang Buwei finally found the trace.
One of the decks is moving.
Fang Buwei lifted a wooden board that was only a foot in diameter along the gap, and there was indeed a radio station hidden inside.
The radio station is not as big as a child's school bag. Fang Buwei lifted it up, up and down, carefully looked at it several times, made sure that he remembered all the details, and then discharged the radio.
Just after covering the planks and getting out of the bottom of the bed, Fang Buwei heard the ship being extinguished, and then there were footsteps outside walking this way.
Listening to the sound, the steward and the accountant were coming to the cabin.
The two of them were greasy and crooked and said some meaty words, which made Fang Bu shocked and shocked.
The rumors are true, there is a problem with this pair of dog men and women? What did they want to do when they stopped here?
Can't you just endure it for another minute or two? Fang Buwei scolded in his heart.
The bow of the boat was only five or six meters away from the cabin, and in a few seconds, the two of them would push the door in.
It's such a big place, there's nowhere to hide.
Fang Buwei was shocked.
If he is exposed, there is only one way to arrest these two people.
Let's not talk about whether these two people will confess or not, and whether they will cooperate after confessing, the key is whether Li Fengnian has left secret tricks on these two people.
The variables are too big, and Fang Buwei does not dare to bet. 11
