Chapter 286: I see

readx;?“ Search for me immediately, even if you dig three feet into the Wu family's compound, you have to find them out! Zhao Long had just been reprimanded by Zhang Xinghan, and dozens of members of Wu Qingzhong's family had mysteriously disappeared under his nose. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He yelled at several of his leaders.

"Yes!" Several agents hurriedly bowed their heads in response with trembling, and led people to start a careful search of the Wu family's compound.

"Vice-seater, found a secret passage in a house in the compound." An agent ran out of breath and reported to Zhao Long.

"Authentic? Report to the Commander immediately. Zhao Long said.

&: Pig: Pig: Island: Novel 3w.; ………………

Zhang Xinghan had already come to the Harbin City Office Compound at this time to meet Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others.

"Jingle Bell ......" A rapid ringing of the phone interrupted their conversation.

Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion, walked over and picked up the phone, and after putting down the phone, Guo Zhong turned to Zhang Xinghan and saluted: "Commander, the searchers have just come to report that a secret passage has been found in the courtyard of the Wu family, and it seems that they secretly escaped from the secret passage." ”

"No wonder the Wu family hasn't moved in the past few days, it turns out that they have already prepared a way out, they are cunning enough!" After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xinghan:

"Commander, what shall we do now?"

"Let's wait and see, if they really take the waterway and go down the river to the southwest, then our search force will definitely find them." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Listen to what Soza means, as if you think they don't necessarily have to take the waterway?" Jiang Baili asked suspiciously.

"It's not that they will take the waterway, with the current situation in Harbin, they will take the waterway is the best route to transport grain, but as I just said, if they transport grain on the Songhua River, then they will definitely be discovered by our search force.

Wu Qingzhong was able to escape quietly with the whole family of the golden cicada, could he not have thought of this? ”

Listen to Zhang Xinghan's analysis. Jiang Baili couldn't help but nod.

"Three days ago, all this grain was still in various places inside and outside Harbin, and the transfer of this grain could not be carried out with a swagger during the day, but most likely quietly at night, so that it would take at least two nights to transport all the grain up the Songhua River.

In other words, since they sailed from the shore, they have traveled about seventy or eighty kilometers at most, carrying so much grain.

If they do take the waterway, I will be able to catch up with the search force in ten hours at most.

So. Now we will wait for news from the search force. Zhang Xinghan analyzed.

……………………

Sun Island is located on the north bank of the Songhua River in the Harbin section, across the river from the Harbin city, since the beginning of the 20th century, with the construction of the Middle East Railway, groups of foreign expatriate businessmen and their families began to pour into the North Manchurian area.

As the provincial capital of Heilongjiang and the economic and cultural center of the entire North Manchurian region, Harbin is naturally a place where most foreign expatriates and businessmen gather.

These expatriate businessmen found that Sun Island was a good place to escape the summer heat due to its undulating terrain and rivers, so they built villas and western-style buildings on Sun Island one after another, gradually forming a scale.

After more than ten years of development, it has become a gathering place for foreigners in Harbin and a wealthy area.

Britain, the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia and other countries have drawn concessions on the island. And some armed forces were deployed.

In order to curry favor with the great powers, the warlords had no choice but to acquiesce in the aggressive practices of the countries.

When groups of the Northeast New Army were preparing to pursue and search in the east and west directions by boat, hundreds of soldiers from various countries on Sun Island suddenly raised their guns and raised their cannons to make the appearance of defending the concession.

Until the new officers and soldiers of the Northeast left by boat. When there was no sign of attacking Sun Island, the gringos breathed a sigh of relief.

By about 10 o'clock in the evening, the search force of the 6th Independent Division had searched and pursued nearly 100 kilometers along the river in the east and west directions, except for a few small fishing boats along the coast. No large ships and convoys carrying grain were found.

At the same time, the militia of the towns along the coast also took action, and cooperated in the search of the river 100 kilometers away, and did not find anything abnormal.

Wang Yicai, commander of the 6th Independent Division, who personally led the pursuit, hurriedly sent a telegram to report to Zhang Xinghan.

Harbin Government Office Compound.

"Commander. Division Commander Wang Yicai called, and as you expected, no suspicious fleet was found on the 150-kilometer river from the east and west directions of the Harbin section. Jiang Baili took the message handed by the communications staff and turned to Zhang Xinghan.

"It's only been less than thirty-six hours, and they can't run 300 miles unless they have wings." Zhang Xinghan frowned and said with a calm face.

"The only explanation is that they didn't transport grain out of the city at all, and the grain is still in Harbin." Jiang Baili said.

Zhang Xinghan nodded, lost in thought.

"Chief of Staff, immediately send the order, the troops of the Sixth Independent Division will be quickly transferred back, surround the whole city of Harbin, including the outer suburbs, and then mobilize the militia, the military police will conduct a door-to-door search of the whole city, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out this batch of grain for me, and at the same time issue a wanted warrant and a reward notice in the three eastern provinces to hunt down Wu Qingzhong, and reward the ocean with 1,000 yuan if you provide clues!"

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan said in a solemn voice.

"Yes!" Feeling the firmness in Zhang Xing's tone, Jiang Baili hurriedly stepped forward and responded.

Early the next morning, the pursuing troops sent by the 6th Independent Division and the troops stationed in the surrounding area to rest and recuperate were all ordered to rush to Harbin.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers, thousands of military police, militiamen, and agents began a dragnet search throughout Harbin.

The search went on to the second day, in a nondescript villa building on Sun Island.

"Vice President, I heard that Zhang Xinghan has blocked the entire Harbin and has been conducting a city-wide search for two days." Wu Qingzhong asked.

"Yes." The man in the suit who appeared in the Wu family's secret room earlier nodded expressionlessly.

"You are still the vice president, you have foresight, otherwise we will fall short this time." Foreign soldiers patrolling the streets outside Wu Qingzhong's building.

"Hmph, Zhang Xinghan thought that if he really mastered the three eastern provinces, he would be able to reach the sky with his hands and eyes and cover the sky with one hand. No matter how strong he is, it is only a temporary strength, and he does not dare to break into this Sun Island concession, Britain, the United States, France and other countries are not something he can afford to provoke. The man snorted coldly.

"It's just that I'm afraid our food will arrive at the designated place later." Wu Qingzhong turned around and said apologetically.

The man in the suit smiled and patted Wu Qingzhong's shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry, the situation has changed abruptly, I will explain it to the prince, as long as we can ensure that the food is in our hands, it will not hurt later." ”

"Thank you, Vice President." Wu Qingzhong bowed his hand and said gratefully.

"Today, Mr. Misky of the French Concession held a drinking party and invited me to go, vice president, do you want to go with me, drink some foreign wine, and play with Yanma?" Wu Qingzhong suddenly said with a lewd smile.

"It's okay, I haven't played this foreign girl for a long time, and the coquettish energy is incomparable to that of Chinese women, haha!" The man in the suit also showed a like-minded smirk.

……………………

The headquarters of the 6th Independent Division, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili left the government compound yesterday and came here in order to direct the troops' movements.

Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were anxiously waiting, and a rush of footsteps came from outside, and in an instant, Wang Yicai walked in.

"Commander, we have basically searched all the inside and outside of the city, but we haven't found anything suspicious." Wang Yicai saluted the two.

"Have you searched them all?" Jiang Baili asked with an unwilling frown.

Wang Yicai nodded.

"Commander, what should I do?" Jiang Baili turned his gaze to Zhang Xinghan.

"Oh, yes, I remembered." Wang Yicai suddenly spoke: "I remembered, there is still a place that has not been searched." ”

"Where?" Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili blurted out almost at the same time.

"It is Sun Island, where foreigners lived as early as ten or a few years ago, and now it has become a gathering place for foreign expatriates, businessmen, diplomatic embassies, Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries have their own places on Sun Island, divided into concessions, and hundreds of armed men are responsible for guarding it." Wang Yicai replied.

"Sun Island?" Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan turned around and walked towards the map.

At this time, Zang Shiyi introduced on the side: "Commander-in-chief, this Sun Island is located on the north bank of the Songhua River, opposite to our Harbin North City across the river, the specific range is about 50 kilometers, the island is densely covered with river networks, the terrain is high, and the forests are patchy, and there are about four or five thousand people living in expatriates from various countries, businessmen and their families.

As for the guards on the island, most of them are composed of veterans from their countries, and their combat effectiveness is very average.

In the past, when Zhang Dashuai was alive, in order not to cause international disputes, he turned a blind eye to the behavior of these foreigners entrenched in Sun Island and let it go. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded, stared at the map carefully, and suddenly said: "It seems that they have hidden all the grain in Sun Island, which is right, to be able to transfer the grain in such a short time, everything has a reasonable explanation for the existence of Sun Island." ”

Jiang Baili also walked over, pointed to the map and nodded: "It will take about ten minutes to cross the Songhua River from Beicheng, as long as you prepare in advance, you can transfer all the grain overnight." ”

"But the premise is that they must have colluded with the foreigners on Sun Island, and without the help of foreigners, it would be impossible for them to land on the island, let alone bring a large amount of food to the island." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Commander, what are you going to do?" Jiang Baili asked.

Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, paced back and forth a few times, and stopped and said, "Yicai, surround Sun Island for me." ”

Jiang Baili and the others were shocked when they heard this, Zang Shiyi's face changed greatly after three dynasties, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Commander, are you going to attack Sun Island?" If it is not handled well, it is very likely to lead to international disputes, and even cause Western powers to launch a war against China. (To be continued......)
