During Lin's half-month in the factory, the phone rang only a few times, usually to discuss the shipyard's intervention, because this is the same phone that Mahler had left in the newspaper; Of course, Lin could not have known, because of this, the boatswain did not leave a nail scratch on the name of Mahler Shipyard in the telephone book, which made the suspicion that had just risen in Kinoshita's heart temporarily extinguished.

Lin hesitated, but put down the box, walked over to pick up the phone, and thought about it and told the other party that the factory did not sell it. He could see through the window that the loading and unloading outside was nearing the end, and Chu Aiyun was jumping off the crane, ready to help others carry small things. Xu Chong was re-hoisting the Japanese flag on the stern of the motorboat.

"Hey, is this the MAHLER shipyard?"

The other party's Chinese was so good that Lin couldn't tell it at the first time.

"Yes, it's the MAHLE shipyard, and I'm sorry, we have no intention of selling it right now."

"I'm sorry to make you confused, I'm the captain of the military police stationed in Hongjapan."

Lin's mind was buzzing for a moment, and he didn't think that the last call he received at the Mahler shipyard would be from the gendarmerie. For a moment he had a big confusion, maybe the enemy was already outside the door, because the monitor was dismantled and he didn't know? Maybe they made this call in an attempt to persuade them to surrender? Of course, all this was just a fleeting thought, and the professional instinct prompted him to calm down immediately.

"What can I do, please tell me."

"I'd like to ask, has Mr. Kimura ever been to where you are? He had been to your company about an hour ago because of some business trip. I wonder if it's still there? ”

Lin Xiuxuan suddenly realized that this voice was not unfamiliar, and the person standing on the other side of the phone was probably Kinoshita Daisa. So will Kinoshita Osa hear his voice? Probably not. I've crossed paths with Kinoshita twice before, but I haven't spoken to him.

The analysis in 0.1 seconds reassured him a little, but what to do next? He knew that this was a moment when there could be no pause or mistake.

"Officer Kinoshita? He's been here with six or seven men, and he's just finished inspecting two old ships, and here'......" he paused for a moment, pretending to look into the distance, "and we're inspecting our last ship, just getting into the cabin, but I think he's almost done." ”

"Oh, I see, I'm sorry for your trouble."

The other party politely hung up the phone. Lin found that his hands were already full of sweat, he recalled his answer just now, obviously decent and natural, there was no flaw, he had to correct his previous judgment, the enemy's minions were getting closer and closer to him, it was indeed true, but time was more urgent.

He wiped the last fingerprints off the phone with a handkerchief and quickly left the office and went downstairs. It was already ready over there, Xu Chong drove the Japanese motorboat out of the berth, and moved the place for the Meteor to leave the port, and the rest of the people got on the boat, and the boarding ladder had not yet been withdrawn, waiting for Lin Xiuxuan to come up.

He got on the boat in a few steps and went straight to the wheelhouse. Chu Aiyun and Shu Ping were ready to stand at their respective posts, waiting for his final decision.

"Don't wait, anchor now."

"But ...... in broad daylight"

"As soon as I received a call from the gendarmerie, they came right away, and it was too late to go."

Chu Aiyun didn't understand for a while, why did the gendarmerie call to inform him when he came to arrest Director Lin, but now is not the time to ask this kind of question first.

"In the forest, inside and outside Wusongkou are Japanese warships. The drone found that from the morning, they would board the ship to inspect every ship leaving the port. ”

"You don't have to break through Wusongkou directly, cross Fuxing Island first, remember the port on the side of the high bridge last time, go there first to hide in the reeds, delay until dark, and we will win."

"Good. The ship's side prepares to untie the cables. ”

"Prepare for anchoring."

"Start anchoring."

"Untie the cable. Two cars forward one. ”

In the rumbling sound of the machine, the iron anchors on both sides began to rise, and the three people in the driver's cab all looked nervously at Izumo who was close at hand. The two 203mm guns on the turret were facing him, but the muzzles were covered with lids.

It was not so easy to leave, because the bow of the Meteor was facing Izumo, and after starting, it had to drive a little towards Izumo to increase the speed and obtain enough turning rudder effect, and since the Izumo was a longer head than the Yubari that had stopped here before, Zhou Xuan's space was smaller and more difficult.

The Meteor sounded its whistle and signaled that it was going to move, and it was still necessary to make these movements, and the Izumo had been attacked by the * boat a few times, and the sentries were inevitably all soldiers, so the Japanese misjudged, so it was better for them to listen to it first. The Meteor slowly headed for the giant Izumo.

Chu Aiyun held the rudder steadily, and Shu Ping stood aside to be his first mate.

Chu Aiyun can only rank second in terms of technology in various departments of 419, which seems quite aggrieved, but his skills are quite comprehensive, from driving navigation, marine communication, to guest spy, dragging a few sentences of Japanese, and still a few clicks

Seeing that the Izumo was getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and almost crashed under the bow of the Izumo, a small traffic boat was checking the lightning protection net. The Japanese man in the boat below began to scream, and he began to turn the rudder. After all, the Meteor was only a thousand-ton boat, and after saving enough speed, it turned around and slipped out of Izumo in one go. The Japanese sailors on Izumo had no idea what was going on, and some of them waved their hats at the Meteor as a sign of farewell.

At this moment, Xu Chong was wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, and the Japanese motorboat driven by one person had already driven 200 meters ahead, and it had to approach the Pudong side as soon as possible, using the protruding Lujiazui to block the sight of most of the Japanese warships, so as not to let people with intentions see that there were fewer people on board.

The next part of the voyage will be guided by this captured Japanese police motorboat to Wusongkou, of course, not expecting to be able to break through once, but to leave the Mahler shipyard in a hurry. The Japanese have deployed ships in this section of the river, but the entire defense is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and it is only when it reaches the Wusongkou bell mouth that it is strictly checked, which is observed by the drone.

"Finally left." Chu Aiyun sighed after turning the bow of the boat.

"Not yet, not yet." Shu Ping reminded.

Kinoshita stood at the table, frowning in thought.

"I've just checked the phone book, and there are two shipyards with marks under their names, as well as Asia Oil and Mobil Oil. There are also some grain and machinery companies, why do these people keep an eye on shipyards and oil companies? ”

He had just carefully flipped through the phone book and noticed a little detail that the detectives hadn't noticed in the morning, and he himself had been tracking down the oil company recently, but he didn't expect this group of people to focus on the same thing as himself.

Over there, Kagesa was still clasping his hands and closing his eyes, he must have heard Kinoshita's words, but he had nothing to say for the time being.

"It's been 30 minutes, Kimura was still in Mahle just now, it's the last stop, and it's time to come back. What is this guy still rubbing? He anxiously walked to the window and looked at Lujiazui, but did not see Kimura's motorboat coming.

"Speaking of which, the man who answered the phone at the Mahler shipyard was really strange, and when I called the Xiangsheng shipyard, as soon as I reported the name of the gendarmerie, I was so frightened that I dropped the phone and ran away, but it turned out that another person was trembling and explained the matter clearly. Calling Jesson, the female secretary's voice was trembling all the time, almost crying, only the guy from the Mahler shipyard kept his voice as usual, not flustered at all, this composure, it was almost familiar......"

Kinoshita's self-talk continued, and Kagesa still hadn't opened his eyes, apparently the trivial and chaotic details that didn't alert him.

"Report."

"Come in."

"A search of the Shootout Hotel has made new discoveries."

"Say."

"Captain Okawa found a clue to the identity of the deceased, and the deceased's fountain pen had the words "Mahler Shipyard 30th Anniversary."

Here, Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, those trivial clues just now seemed to have a clue suddenly.

"Mahler shipyard again? You call again, and this time let Kimura answer it himself. ”

"Yes."

Kinoshita walked over briskly and dialed the phone, but this time it rang for half a minute, and no one answered.

"Your Excellency, no one listened?"

Kagesa stood still, pondering the ins and outs of everything.

"Understood. Immediately notify the Hongkou gendarmerie, immediately send troops to the Mahler shipyard, there can be no delay here, you immediately get on the ship with me, and go directly over there......" Shadow Zuo got up, suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something again, "Bring more people, just in case." ”

After the two of them deployed everything, they ran downstairs, there were several naval ships parked on the dock for them to dispatch, Kagesa and Kinoshita directly got on the largest gunboat, and then immediately started, heading towards Lujiazui not far away, as the steamboat gradually bypassed Lujiazui, the huge Izumo battleship could be seen, and it was parked there tightly. The sailors on the ship walked around, very peaceful.

"Look, Izumo, the Mahler shipyard should be right next to it." Kinoshita said in a snarling voice that he had to drown out the roar of the machine.

Kagesa Zhenzhao didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's strange, the guy at the Mahler factory said, where there are three ships, why not one? Even Kimura's motorboat is gone? ”

Kinoshita was surprised, and when he looked around, there was not a single formed ship over there, and there was a row of tripods in the dry dock, but there were no boats in sight.

"That guy is very dishonest, there must be something wrong. Quick, accelerate, faster. Kagesa gave the order, and the captain raised the speed to the fastest.

The gunboat was ready to approach the edge of the berth at the Mahler shipyard, but the deceleration was somewhat insufficient as it had been sprinting at maximum speed. When they reached the side, still maintaining some velocity, the landing was a little unsightly, and the bow of the ship hit a row of cushioning tires on the dock.

Poof, something came up from under the water.

"Look, there's a corpse." The sailor in charge of the lasso was the first to see it and shouted.

Kagesa and Kinoshita stick their heads out from above, and see a corpse facing up on its back, with a cut on its neck.

"This is Saito, the person of the extra high class." Kinoshita recognized the dead man at a glance.

Kinoshita was about to rush off the boat, and when he turned around, he saw that Rear Admiral Kagesa was already crouched behind the open bridge, apparently reacting faster than anyone else, knowing that standing straight in this place might be shot.

"Kinoshita-kun, don't be impulsive, wait for the gendarmerie to break in from the front."
