Chapter 705 Mysterious Letter
"Army? What army?" Yamamoto Masahei still didn't quite understand.
Shimazu Yoshio said slowly: "We are not the only ones who know about this treasure. General Mike has also been eyeing it."
“If you want to load it on a ship in the Philippines, it will probably be taken away by the military before you even get on board.”
"Do you think they really haven't considered this? If it falls into the hands of Congress, they can more or less get some of it back."
"But if it falls into the hands of the army, how much do you think will be left?"
This reason is acceptable.
Yamamoto Masahei looked at Walker hanging on the torture device and said, "President Shimazu, what should we do with this man?"
Shimazu Yoshio thought for a while and said, "Keep it for now and see if it will be useful later. If it is useless, just get rid of it."
Yamamoto Masahira frowned and said, "What about the deputy captain Hunter he mentioned? Do we have to kidnap him again?"
Shimazu Yoshio shook his head: "We are in the center of the storm now, don't move rashly, otherwise it will be easy to be caught."
"Let's have someone keep an eye on the observation group's every move. If they really decide to do this in Shanghai, they will definitely be exposed."
“We have to be patient...”
Yamamoto Masahei nodded and said, "I understand."
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
Wan Tianmu stood in front of his desk and recounted to Chen Yang in detail the case of the disappearance of Head Walker of the Observation Group that was investigated by No. 76.
"Minister, according to the information we have so far."
"Captain Walker disappeared around five o'clock the evening before yesterday."
"The last person to see him was Ms. Mash, a member of the observation group."
"According to Ms. Matthew's description, it was Captain Walker who invited her for a drink. After she refused, Captain Walker left the embassy alone."
"We have checked the streets along the route outside the embassy, but have not found any useful clues so far,"
Chen Yang frowned slightly and said, "Director Wan, do you mean that a living person suddenly disappeared after walking out of the consulate?"
Wan Tianmu quickly said: "No, Minister, I think this kidnapping case seems a little strange."
"This kind of thing has happened to us before, but this time it's obviously different."
"Kidnapping is nothing more than seeking revenge and asking for money."
"Captain Walker has just arrived in Shanghai from the United States. He has almost no vested interests with anyone in the local area. If he wants to make an enemy, it is not likely to be a life-and-death feud in such a short period of time, or something as serious as kidnapping."
"Besides, he is a foreigner. Even if the local Qing Gang wants to extort money, they won't bother with foreigners."
"Unfortunately, those people are unwilling to reveal too much information. We really have no clue."
Chen Yang thought for a while, then slowly said, "Director Wan, based on your experience, if someone wants to kidnap the head of an American observation group, what is his most likely purpose?"
Wan Tianmu said slowly: "It's hard to say. If it's not for revenge or money, then there must be some secret about this leader that the other party wants to know."
"The most likely possibility is the purpose of this observation group's appearance in China."
Chen Yang instantly understood what Wan Tianmu meant: "Director Wan means that the purpose of this observation group coming to China is not pure."
Wan Tianmu nodded and said, "It is very likely that an American observation group appeared in Shanghai, the group leader was kidnapped, and his subordinates were hesitant and unwilling to cooperate."
"That is to say, their purpose in coming to China is likely to be detrimental to the empire, otherwise, why would they not dare to say it."
Chen Yang tapped the desk in his office with his fingers and said after a while: "Director Wan's words make sense."
"Think of a way to find out what the observation group wants to do in China. If you do it well, I will commend you."
Wan Tianmu's face lit up with joy, but before he could say anything, his secretary He Yuehua suddenly rushed in.
"Bull, the mailroom just received a letter. Hirata-kun didn't see anyone, but I saw that it said you had to open it in person."
As she spoke, He Yuehua handed over a letter with both hands.
Chen Yang took the letter, flipped it over, and squeezed it.
There were no special marks on the front or back. It was just an ordinary letter, thin as if there was only one piece of letter paper.
After opening the seal, Chen Yang looked inside and found that there was indeed only a piece of letter paper.
Chen Yang opened the letter and was stunned for no reason. There was only one sentence written on the letter: "Walker is in the house at No. 268, Xinhe Lane, Zhabei District."
There are no other words besides this.
The strangest thing is that this word is in Japanese.
"Minister, what's wrong with you?" Wan Tianmu asked in a low voice.
Chen Yang frowned and handed the letter to Wan Tianmu...
"This doesn't look like a ransom letter." Wan Tianmu was also a little confused. Kidnapping and ransom have a standard process, but the letter from the other party had nothing in it. There was no mention of money or other requests. There was only an address, and it was written in Japanese.
"That's interesting. Director Wan, take someone to check the address above. Be careful not to fall into the trap."
Wan Tianmu nodded, memorized the address on the letter paper, and turned to leave the office...
Shanghai, International Settlement, Yunlai Hotel.
A figure wearing a blue robe and a gray hat walked into the hotel and went straight to the door of a room on the third floor.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock." Two short knocks and one long knock on the door were heard, and a rustling sound came from inside the room.
After a while, a male voice said, "Who is it?"
The man in green shirt said, "Would you like some cigarettes, sir? I have a batch of cigars from America."
With a creak, the door opened and the man inside stepped halfway aside to signal the visitor to come in.
Without waiting for the person to speak, the person inside first looked at the corridor of the hotel, then walked carefully to the window and lifted a corner to look at the street below.
"Special Agent, don't worry, I've checked and no one is following us."
"Stationmaster Xu, it's better to be safe than sorry." Gu Yanming lowered the curtains and said to Xu Yuanju.
"The special commissioner is considering it."
Gu Yanming sat opposite Xu Yuanju, poured him a glass of water with a teacup and said, "Stationmaster Xu, why did you come here in person? Did something happen?"
Xu Yuanju said in a deep voice: "Special Envoy, there is bad news."
"The brother lurking in Unit 76 sent back a message that Captain Walker of the observation group disappeared at 5 pm the day before yesterday."
"Right now, the people from Unit 76 are looking for him everywhere. I don't know if this will affect our plan, so after receiving the intelligence, I rushed to find you as soon as possible."
"What? Walker is missing?" Gu Yanming was surprised...
I don't know what happened, it was reviewed as soon as I uploaded it. I guess it will be better after New Year's Day...
