Episode 109 Beat the Prince into the Sea!

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't go home at all that night, the search and arrest command room was in the conference room next to the office, and a group of people under his command were busy there, and any important progress would wake him up.

But Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't wake him up until he woke up. He sat up from the marching bed, picked up the alarm clock and looked, it was a quarter past seven. I haven't been called all night, that is, I haven't made any progress all night.

Damn, I knew that I would go back to my own house next door and sleep, and it was more comfortable than this.

As soon as he lifted the quilt and went to the ground, the office door was pushed open, and Qiu Yu's head poked in. Seeing that Xiang Xiaoqiang had already gotten up, she hurriedly beckoned and whispered:

"Xiaoqiang, it's just right, come on."

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Yu came to the conference room next door. The room was smoky, but it was quiet, and everyone was staring at the stomachache.

Stomach ache was answering a phone call while writing on a piece of paper:

“…… Two bullet holes in the front chest of the corpse? Well...... Well...... There was also blood on the fishing boat, as well as two shell casings...... What does a bullet case look like? Can you describe it...... Well, well, that's supposed to be a nine-mm pistol cartridge case...... Have any of your fishing boats docked at your dock before? …… Oh never, good ......"

The stomach hurt and asked the other party, and Qiu Yu whispered to Xiang Xiaoqiang and repeated the content of the phone call just now. It turned out that a few minutes ago, I received a phone call here, and the other party claimed to be Shen Lianyuan, the owner of the Shen Chang, who had been inspecting the tea plantations on the Xishan Camellia Mountain in Taihu Lake for the past two days, and had been living in a villa by the Xishan Lake last night. But this morning, the next man found a corpse in the water of the pier trestle, and then quickly called someone to fish it up, and saw that it was an old woman. He immediately called the doctor in the villa, and after a brief examination, he found two gunshot wounds on the chest.

Not far from the body, a small fishing boat was parked, with a pool of blood in its hold and two pistol shell casings. Then the doctor immediately reported the owner of the villa: the big boss Shen Lianyuan. At that time, the doctor wanted Boss Shen to call the police station in Suzhou, but Boss Shen was a big boss after all, different from ordinary people. As soon as he heard about the situation, he didn't even go to the scene, and immediately understood who he should report the matter to. It happened that when the People's Guards were searching and arresting last night, they came to the villa to inquire and left the phone number of the Nanjing Headquarters, so that Boss Shen could report anything he found in time.

Now, the one who is talking to him with a stomachache is Shen Lianyuan.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat on the chair, took a cup of tea, and listened to the stomachache while drinking. The stomach hurt and continued to ask:

“…… How do doctors determine the time of death? Well, he thinks it's been more than eight hours since he died? That should have been last night...... Did anyone in the lodge hear a gunshot last night? …… It is impossible for anyone to hear, why? Seaplane noise? …… Debugging? What, Mr. Shen, do you still have a seaplane there? …… Oh, and the hangar is right on the docks? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang got up suddenly, put down the cup, and immediately said to the stomachache:

"Hurry up and ask, is the seaplane still there?"

Stomach ache immediately asked:

"Mr. Shen, is your seaplane still there? …… What, already in the morning the technician flew out...... Is it a test flight...... Oh, that's it......"

But Xiang Xiaoqiang stood up "Teng", like a leopard seeing its prey, took the telephone receiver and asked in person:

"Boss Shen, did anyone see the plane when the technician flew it out? No? Okay, when did that fly away? Six-forty-five, how can you be so sure? …… Well, okay, what kind of plane are you? How long is the range? What is the speed? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang grabbed a pen and paper and quickly wrote it down. Then return the earpiece to the stomachache:

"Okay, Ziteng, you can continue to ask him for details...... Xiuxiu !! ”

"Here!"

Xiuxiu immediately appeared in front of him, standing tall. Hand the paper to Xiaoqiang to her:

"Xiuxiu, Sikorsky S-38 seaplane, look at the parameters right."

Xiuxiu took it and read:

"Sikorsky S-38 seaplane, biplane twin engine, two 525 hp engines, maximum speed 208 km / h, maximum ceiling 5486 meters, maximum range 1027 km, eight seats...... Yes, that's it! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang clapped his palms and said loudly:

"Guys, we now have a new focus to pursue! Prince Ananta may well have hijacked a seaplane and escaped! This aircraft is an American-made Sikorsky S-38 seaplane! The maximum range of this aircraft is 1027 kilometers, which means that in addition to Beiqing, he only has two places to go! The first is Japan! The second is North Korea, which is actually Japan! Therefore his direction can only be east!

"It's about 500 kilometers from Taihu Lake to the nearest tip of the Korean Peninsula! It is about 700 kilometers to the nearest tip of the Japanese island of Kyushu! And the fastest speed of this kind of plane is 208 kilometers per hour, and Boss Shen is sure and sure that the take-off time is at 6:45, why? The sound of the plane's engine woke him up, and he looked at his watch, and it was 6:45. It's seven twenty minutes, that is, they fly out at most 100-110 km! It should have just reached the sky over Shanghai, or over Chongming Island in the north!

"Your Royal Highness, how is the contact in Bangkok? Hurry up, we're going to change the King of Siam! …… Haigong, please contact the General Staff of the Navy immediately, and ask them to immediately send planes from the East China Sea Fleet to the sky to search and intercept, remember, it is the Sikorsky S-38, twin-engine, it should be easy to recognize! …… Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has worked hard all night, how do you think the military and political departments of the Ming Dynasty have cooperated with us in this night of searching? ”

The people in the conference room all seemed very satisfied, and they all said that whether it was the military, the police, or the government, every department gave the green light to the People's Guard anyway. It seems that Zhu Yourong's holy decree has exerted its power.

……

After all the stalls under his command moved, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege came to the office again and talked about the progress in Bangkok alone.

Yesterday, the security team had already sent the four agents back to Bangkok by plane, and last night they had secretly met Prince Bhumibol and his mother, Princess Kunshida. The mother and son were very attentive to the Ming visitors, and Princess Kunshida said that as long as she could support her son on the throne, Siam was willing to be loyal to the Ming forever. Princess Kunshida even expressed her willingness to send Prince Bhumibol's sister, Princess Umarin, to Daming to marry the Zhu family, the Zheng family, or a young magnate as his wife, in order to show the sincerity of Siam and Daming forever......

Speaking of this, Fourteen Gege glanced at Xiao Qiang strangely. Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately sensed the taste. What kind of "young magnates" in the mouth of the princess may mean herself. He immediately shook his head and said:

"I said don't think about it, our princess has enough princesses, there's no need to get another one......"

Fourteen Gege smiled slightly, ignored him, and continued to get down to business.

However, Princess Kunshida has another request. She said that Prince Ananta committed a heinous crime and was actually a huge saboteur of the friendship between the two countries, and hoped that after Daming caught Prince Ananta, he would be executed in full view of everyone. Of course, it is better to hand him over to Siam for disposal. She pledged to sentence Prince Ananta in Bangkok.

"Huh? What does she mean by that? ”

Fourteen Gege laughed:

That is, she feared that Prince Ananta would not die, and she had to watch him be publicly executed and her son not threaten the throne at all. In other words, she is most afraid that Prince Ananta's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. She knew how capable Prince Ananta was, and as long as he lived, he would always be a great threat to her son's throne. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows and said:

"She is worried that we will not kill the prince when we catch it, but hold it in our hands, and her son will not be honest when he becomes king, so we will take Prince Ananta out and threaten her son's throne?"

Fourteen Gege was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"It's not as complicated as you think...... In fact, in Daming, Prince Ananta committed such a great crime, no one could catch him without killing him, and hide him...... Impossible. Maybe what Princess Kunshida is afraid of is that Prince Ananta's final life and death are unknown, and if her son wants to sit firmly on the throne in the future, she will have to rely on Da Ming...... She wants to get rid of this now. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, stood up and walked around a few times, thinking fiercely in his mind. After walking for a while, he said in a deep voice:

"Even if we catch the prince, the only evidence that can convict him in court is the two things that injured people in Cartier and robbed the plane in the west mountains of Taihu Lake. He put a bomb in his car to kill King Yanping and three soldiers, and killed the old woman on a fishing boat in Taihu Lake, and we have no evidence of these two felonies. Although we can get Sawan Susi to speak, in court, confessions made under torture cannot be used as evidence......

"And, once Sawan Susi is brought to court, he will definitely bite back, saying that he doesn't know anything, that he was forcibly kidnapped by us, and that those confessions are all tortured...... Then, in front of everyone's eyes, not only can we not use Sawan Susi to accuse Prince Ananta, but we can't prove that Sawan Susi lied, and maybe we will have to send him back to Siam ......**!

"It stands to reason that we don't have to judge the prince ourselves at this time, we just need to put Prince Bhumibol in Bangkok on the throne, and then send Prince Ananta to Siam and let Siam click him away...... There is no legal system in Siam, and there is no talk of whether the evidence is legal or not...... But since Princess Kunshida is most afraid of Prince Ananta's unknown life and death, then we must let his life and death be unknown...... In this way, they must have a string in their heads, knowing that if they want to sit firmly on the throne, they must rely on us for support......"

Fourteen Gege squinted his eyes and smiled:

"That'...... Are you planning to kill Prince Ananta without giving him a chance to go to court? ”

……

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door, and then Qiu Yu asked outside:

"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang...... Tell me about it...... That one...... Can I come in? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't cry or laugh, when Qiu Yu came in and asked him to get up just now, he pushed the door directly and entered. Now that she is in the office with Fourteen Gege, the little girl is squirming at the door and refuses to come in...... Where did she go?

Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his voice and shouted:

"What's the wordy, come in quickly!"

Qiu Yun came in, looked at the fourteen grids, and then looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, relieved, and said with a smile:

"Xiaoqiang, come on, they found a seaplane you said."

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege quickly got up and ran to the conference room next door.

On the map slider of the conference room, a large map of the East China Sea has been launched. To the west is Shanghai and Hangzhou Bay, to the east is the Japanese island of Kyushu, and the Zhoushan Islands in the middle are all on the map.

Xiuxiu was translating the telegram from the East China Sea Fleet on Zhoushan Island, and when she translated one, she handed it to her stomachache, looked at the telegram paper with a stomachache, and pressed one small pin after another on the map. This is where HNA's aircraft are most recently rewarded.

The snail immediately reported the situation to Xiaoqiang. HNA's reaction was very fast, and two squadrons of fighters immediately took off from the Zhujiajian Air Force Base, headed northwest to search, and just now they found a twin-engine seaplane in the sky above Shanghai, which Xiang Xiaoqiang said. The pilot approached and identified it as a Sikorsky S-38. Now trailing behind the target.

As he spoke, he pressed a pin on the mouth of the Yangtze River with a stomachache.

"Your Excellency!" He turned around and shouted, "The latest report, the kingfisher has flown out of Shanghai with the target, to the sea!" Now it's over the mouth of the Yangtze River! What to do, my lord? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang did not hesitate, and immediately said:

"Order the target to land on the surface of the sea! Get checked! ”

Xiuxiu immediately sent a short order in clear code. Because this is not a direct conversation with the pilot, it is to be sent to the East China Sea Fleet first, and then the East China Sea Fleet will use a radio intercom to direct the aircraft, so it is necessary to try as quickly as possible. This kind of thing, there is no need for passwords.

A moment later, the East China Sea Fleet also replied with a short message: received.

……

Above the mouth of the Yangtze River, a large seaplane roared and flew slowly. In the cabin, Pachai pointed his pistol at the pilot, and the prince also pointed the pistol at another technician, while looking out the window anxiously, watching the Kingfisher fighter ————"buzz" past his eyes, and then swooping from a distance, brushing overhead, making various threatening movements.

The threatening tone of the opposing pilot came over the radio:

“…… Orders you to land on the surface of the sea at once...... Orders you to land on the surface of the sea at once...... A final warning, order you to land on the surface of the sea immediately, or you will bear the consequences......"

Prince Ananta and Pachai were both pale and sweat was pouring down their heads and faces. The prince took the gun and sat back in his seat tiredly, resting his head on the bulkhead.

He knew that once he was discovered, he would probably not be able to escape. But what he couldn't figure out was how Daming's fighter jet was blocked so quickly. He originally planned that since it was a "test flight", the owner of the plane would not find out that something was wrong until at least nine o'clock in the morning when he used the plane. Then it will take at least another two or three hours, and the plane will not come back, and I am really anxious before I can go to the police. And the Daming police don't know if they can link the plane with themselves! Even if they did, hours had passed, and I had already flown to Japan.

The prince wiped the sweat from his head and craned his neck to look out the window at the sea below.

The vast Yangtze River estuary pours a large area of muddy yellow river water into the gray-white East China Sea, and the gray-yellow river water and gray-white sea water form a clear boundary within a large area of the estuary, which is very spectacular from the sky.

However, an even more terrible threat came over the radio:

"Last warning, order you to land on the surface of the sea immediately, or we will shoot you down! Final Warning......"

This time, I'm here for real. "Otherwise" is followed not by "at your own risk", but by a very clear "shot down".

The pilot was already sweating profusely, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Your Royal Highness...... If you don't do that, they'll shoot us down ......"

The prince struck him in the back of the head with his gun and shouted:

"Don't talk too much, fly your plane!"

At the same time, he also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart beating wildly, praying that this was just a threat, praying that his status as a prince of Siam would work, and they would not dare to be so unscrupulous......

……

In the headquarters of the People's Guard, Xiuxiu raised her head and asked:

"My lord, now that the target has reached the sky over the Shengsi Islands, the East China Sea Fleet asks what to do now?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang stood in front of the large map, pinched his chin fiercely with his hands, gritted his teeth, and estimated the distance. Shengsi Islands, this is the northern part of the Zhoushan Islands. There are many islands here, and it is also within the base range of the East China Sea Fleet, so it should be a suitable place. Further east, there is the vast sea.

He stared at the map and said word by word:

"Let them beat the prince into the sea."

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire conference room fell silent. But then, everyone felt a sense of exhilaration. Xiuxiu didn't ask a word, and directly lowered her head and reported.

Xiang Xiaoqiang pinched his chin and said:

"If possible, let them aim at the wings and engines of the plane and fire so that the plane loses power and makes a forced landing on the surface of the sea. There were also two technicians on the plane, who had been kidnapped by the prince. …… Besides, what did that guy do...... Just blown up and fell to his death, it's too cheap for him...... We're going to get him out of the sea first, and then we're going to bring him back alive. ”

He snapped his fingers and continued:

"Prepare the plane, I will personally go to the East China Sea Fleet and personally tow His Royal Highness the Prince back."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Qiang at fourteen squares. Fourteen Gege could see from his gaze that he had no intention of taking the prince back alive.
