"There is this possibility, in order to achieve the goal, the Japanese have never cared about civilians or civilians. If they can't succeed during this time, they definitely can't rule out taking this step! ”

Cao Guangyuan frowned, stood up as he spoke, and began to pace in the cabin.

"Section Chief Cao, if the Japanese want to scuttle or blow up the ship, they will definitely start from the boiler room, only in this way can they cause the greatest destructive power. Plus, they control the lifeboat, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible! ”

Geng Chaozhong stood up and also began to pace on the ground.

The two circled around the ground a few times, and their eyes suddenly met.

"First, contact the guards and guard the boiler room with heavy troops!" Cao Guangyuan said.

"Second, guard the life raft and wait for the rabbit!" Geng Chaozhong added.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison:

"Without further ado, just do it!"

Geng Chaozhong walked out of the room quickly, and a foreigner stood majestically at the entrance of the corridor. Seeing Geng Chaozhong come out, he opened his mouth and said in Chinese:

"Dear guest, I advise you not to leave your room, only in this way can your safety be guaranteed."

Geng Chaozhong's face was solemn, he shook his head and said:

"Thank you for your concern, but I have to go out, and the lives of everyone on the entire cruise ship are at stake!"

Seeing the seriousness of what Geng Chaozhong said, the foreigner's expression changed, he didn't dare to slack off, and said in his mouth: "Wait a minute." ”

Then he took a few steps out of the cabin, shouted a few times, and a red-haired foreigner walked in, it was none other than Howard.

"I'm the vice captain of the security of this cruise, I don't know if you have anything to say?"

Howard already knew that Geng Chaozhong was a civil servant of the Republic of China government, and he spoke very politely.

"I have received a confidential report that the Japanese are plotting to blow up and sink the passenger ship, and I suggest that you immediately investigate all the passengers on board, especially those who have contact with the deceased just now! At the same time, send people to guard the three important positions of the boiler room, the bilge and the lifeboat! Go now, without any delay, or ......."

Geng Chaozhong suddenly took out a pistol, pointed at Howard's head and said sharply:

"I'll shoot you right now!"

was pointed at the head with a gun, but this Howard's complexion did not change much, and even Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but secretly admire.

Howard frowned, glanced at Geng Chaozhong again, and said in a low voice, "Follow me!" ”

Then he turned around and walked out - this death has shown the seriousness of the matter, if this is not just an attempted murder, then the problem is serious!

Geng Chaozhong embarrassedly put away the big red nine, and followed Howard to the captain's office above the cabin, where Nelson was standing with the captain and the first mate looking into the distance. Seeing Geng Chaozhong come in, Nelson showed a look of surprise on his face and asked:

"Sir, I don't know what your orders are?"

Geng Chaozhong was not verbose, took out the blue certificate of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, shook it in front of Nelson's eyes, and said:

"I need you to investigate the passengers who had contact with the deceased just now, and our party investigation department has received a tip-off that the Japanese are likely to blow up and sink the passenger ship, and we must find them before the Japanese move!"

When Nelson heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he showed a look of disbelief, and said in surprise:

"Oh my God, the Japanese are so mad? Are you sure your messages are reliable? ”

"It doesn't matter if you're reliable or not, the key is whether you're willing to risk the lives of the entire ship, or rather, your own?! None of us can afford to gamble! ”

Nelson's face changed again, and he turned his head and ordered the captain:

"Captain, return to the sea now!"

Geng Chaozhong was stunned, this Nelson is too decisive! It doesn't matter if you go back, will we go to the Northeast or not?

"No! If we can't return to the ship, if we do so at this time, the Japanese will definitely act in advance, then we are doomed! ”

"Nope! Now it's only an hour's voyage from Yantai Port, and even if the Japanese make an explosion, we will have enough time to return to the port! You know, we are a tin ship, the bottom compartment is a divided space, even if there is an explosion, the Sea Dragon will not sink immediately, this is the best choice at the moment! ”

Nelson said categorically.

The Englishman, who has been adrift at sea for many years and has a lot of experience in dealing with emergencies, Geng Chaozhong has to admit that Nelson's decision is the best choice at the moment.

Because no one can guarantee that they will be able to stop the actions of the Japanese, and maybe the Japanese will have planted the bomb by now!

There was a loud sound of displacement from the flanks of the passenger ship - the captain had begun to carry out Nelson's instructions and was ready to turn around and return home!

Geng Chaozhong was in a dilemma.

If Nelson is stopped, there is no guarantee of absolute safety, and once the ship is destroyed and people die, including himself, everyone will be killed! Second, Nelson is facing the capsizing of passenger liners, and he will definitely not compromise easily!

However, if Nelson is not stopped, the war in the Northeast is bound to continue for a long time, although Geng Chaozhong is sure that even if it is a day or two late, the outcome of the peace between the two countries will not change greatly, but the casualties of the Northeast Army are bound to be even heavier!

Both sides are dead, and the dead friends are not dead and poor?!

This is a classic moral dilemma!

Geng Chaozhong frowned, even if there was a lifeboat, would he be able to grab the last ticket with a gun, and ignore the old and young women and children on the boat?!!

Burn your eyebrows, and look at your eyes! The Northeast Army can't take care of it too much now!

"Good!" Geng Chaozhong agreed with Nelson.

"However, you have to send people to guard the boiler room and the bilge and lifeboat now!"

Nelson quickly accepted Geng's suggestion and instructed Howard to immediately mobilize his men to guard all important positions. Nelson and Geng Chaozhong patrolled around with pistols.

"General, I suggest that you check the passengers first, I need to know the basic situation of all the passengers on the ship now!" Geng Chaozhong called Nelson a little sarcastically, but it seemed that Nelson enjoyed the title.

"Yes, but don't get your hopes up, there are no less than twenty people on this passenger ship, including the Japanese." Nelson said.

"Then control these Japanese passengers first!" Geng Chaozhong said categorically.

Geng Chaozhong believed that the Japanese spies on the ship would definitely not all be dressed as Chinese, and there would inevitably be spies mixed with the Japanese passengers!

Nelson shook his head and led Geng Chaozhong to the deck hall on the first floor. As far as the eye can see, more than 100 people are helping the old and the young, crowded into the deck cabin of less than 300 square meters, densely packed and dizzy, which makes Geng Chaozhong suddenly recall the train waiting hall during the Spring Festival in his previous life.

It's impossible to screen out Japanese people from within!

Geng Chaozhong's head suddenly changed to two, how can this be screened?

Is it really just a return flight?
