"Miss Ziyuan's situation is a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain in one sentence. I'll start from the beginning." Huang Yanning said with a wry smile.
"Okay, I'm all ears." Lu Ming had no choice but to listen patiently.
"Miss Ziyuan seemed to have a premonition that something was going to happen to her, so she asked me as if she was laying out the funeral arrangements. I told her that we would be there for everything. Three big men with guns couldn't protect her, a weak woman, so we would just jump into the river and commit suicide.
Right. But Miss Ziyuan said that this matter was very complicated, and she couldn't help it. She said a few words that were difficult to understand, and then told me repeatedly not to forget her instructions, and then she went back."
"I don't understand. Why couldn't Mr. Huang inform me of the news earlier? He had to wait until today! Isn't there a phone number in Peiping?" Lu Ming couldn't bear it after all, and just complained.
"You're right, why do I have to wait until today? I'm not stupid. I originally wanted to report it to Chairman Sheng as soon as possible, but I analyze that Miss Yuan didn't want you to know about this matter at least three months later.
This is the time she gave me. This means that she needs three months to do what she wants to do. Do you think my analysis is correct?" Huang Yanning was really experienced, and he completely understood Yuan Ziyuan's complicated mentality at the time.
"Okay, what happened next? What happened to Ziyuan?" Lu Ming asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, listen to me. When we woke up the next morning, we found that Miss Ziyuan was missing." Huang Yanning looked in a daze, his expression was both helpless and a mockery of himself.
"Gone? How could he be missing?" Lu Ming felt that Major Huang had the ability of a storyteller, telling stories one after another.
"Yes, we are also puzzled. One of my guards has been guarding outside Miss Yuan's cabin, but after she left my cabin that night, she did not return to her cabin at all. My guard misunderstood and thought that Ms. Yuan
The lady has been staying in my cabin." Huang Yanning said with a bitter smile.
"In other words, Ziyuan disappeared when she came out of your cabin?" Lu Ming suddenly realized.
"That's true. Then I went to the captain and asked him to search the entire ship, lying that my girlfriend was missing. Although the captain was Japanese, he took it very seriously. After all, if something happened to someone on his ship, he would also
He must bear a certain responsibility. He also knew that Miss Yuan had an extraordinary status and was a socialite on the beach. We mobilized all our personnel to search the entire ship, but we could not find Miss Yuan. Later, someone asked whether Miss Yuan accidentally fell into the water at night.
It’s in.”
"No, although Ziyuan can swim, her water quality is not good. If she could escape by diving, she would have dived long ago. Wouldn't it be safer for you to protect her while diving?" Lu Ming objected.
"Yes, I thought so too. Although the weather was very warm at that time, the water surface was very wide. She might not be able to swim to the other side with her physical strength." Huang Yanning agreed with Lu Ming's point of view.
Lu Ming was going crazy. Why was this another missing person case? It was also very strange. Everything was so weird.
"We searched the entire ship three times but could not find Miss Yuan, so we had to give up."
"Did Ziyuan just disappear out of thin air?" Lu Ming asked.
"It didn't disappear. When the boat docked at Jining, Yuan Ziyuan appeared. Four people around her hugged her and got off the boat first. Because Jining is the terminal, people getting off the boat were very crowded. When we caught up to the shore, Ziyuan
He was pushed into a car."
"That means Ziyuan was always on the ship and her kidnapper escaped your search?" Lu Ming nodded.
"Yes, so I immediately thought that there was something wrong with the Japanese captain who helped us. We didn't search only his residence on the ship. Apart from that, we didn't even spare the sailor's cabin."
There is no doubt that the Japanese kidnapped Ziyuan, but Ziyuan is so smart, why did she want to board a Japanese shipping company's ship? Didn't she know before that it was the Japanese who wanted to harm her? Why did the Japanese want to harm her?
Thinking about the fact that Yuan Ziyuan once secretly hid in his apartment, Lu Ming seemed to figure out a clue. On the day Sheng Muyi disappeared, Yuan Ziyuan suddenly disappeared, and she must have boarded the "Kyo-no-Maru" ship that day.
But no matter how you look at it, it feels like you’ve fallen into a trap.
Could it be that Yuan Ziyuan threw herself into a trap to divert the attention of the Japanese so that Sheng Muyi could escape smoothly?
"I immediately asked a classmate from Huangpu for help and mobilized local garrison vehicles to start searching the surrounding area. On the third day of the search, Miss Yuan was found at the foot of Mount Tai. Miss Yuan was in a very strange state at that time," Huang Yanning continued.
.
"Weird? How do you say it?" Lu Ming asked.
"At that time, it gave the impression that Ms. Ziyuan was not under any coercion, but was visiting the scenic spots very freely. Of course, there were four people around her, but these four people did not look like they were kidnapping her, but more like her bodyguards.
The attitude of a rich lady traveling around with her bodyguard." Huang Yanning looked at Lu Ming with a wry smile and said.
"Can those four people be confirmed to be Japanese?" Lu Ming asked.
"This can be confirmed. Of course, it was only confirmed later. I didn't know it at the time. The strange thing is that the four people were no different from Chinese. They spoke Chinese with a northern accent." Huang Yanning recalled.
"Yuan Ziyuan was captured without any effort? This is in line with the hypothesis that she held off the Japanese and bought Sheng Muyi time." Lu Ming said to himself.
"Yes, when our people were about to go over and ask questions, Miss Yuan handed them a note, saying that she voluntarily left with the four people, and told us not to worry." Huang Yanning said.
"As expected, she is cooperating with the Japanese, and your rescue will only cause more trouble for her." Lu Ming further analyzed.
"I had no choice but to follow her instructions and send the first letter in Tai'an," Huang Yanning said.
"Then why didn't you send all three letters?" Lu Ming was still puzzled.
"This is Miss Yuan's instruction. She said that there should be a period of time between sending these three letters. It is best to send them from different locations every two months. I don't understand why, but I still follow her instructions.
That’s done.”
"Thank you. No matter what, I have to thank you, Adjutant Huang." Lu Ming said sincerely.
"Thank you, no need. I was confused at the time and couldn't figure out why Miss Yuan was willing to surrender." Huang Yanning said with a bitter smile.
"Of course Ziyuan will not be willing to take the initiative to go with others. She must have been coerced to do so." Of course, Lu Ming knew the ins and outs of this matter better than Huang Yanning.
"I think so too, but I don't understand what kind of coercion she was under? She had a chance to escape when she got off the boat. As long as she shouted for help and made some resistance, we have a chance to rescue her," Huang Yanning said seriously.
.
"You also said that there were a lot of people on the dock at that time. If she escaped by force, the four people would kill innocent people indiscriminately and cause a massacre. It is impossible for her to let innocent people die for her own sake." Lu Ming guessed.
"Miss Yuan is so stupid. Those four Japanese are targeting her. If she escapes, they may not dare to shoot. The three of us are not vegetarians." Huang Yanning shook his head.
