Soon all these antiques were loaded onto the truck. After loading, Li Yunsheng ordered the merchant ship to be blown up and sunk, and the traces of the scene were carefully cleaned to leave no clues behind.
The aftermath was quickly completed, the group got on a truck, and then the convoy set off.
An hour later, the convoy appeared in the suburbs of Tianjin, which is more than 20 kilometers away from the city. Not only is it deserted, but there are also several hills.
At this time, Xu Bing got out of the car and reported to Li Yunsheng: "District Chief, this is it." Then he pointed to a small hill and said calmly: "There is a cave on the hill where you can hide these antiques.
.”
After looking at the environment near Xiaoshanbao, Li Yunsheng was very satisfied and said with a smile: "This place is very good, and it is far away from Tianjin city. No one will come here easily."
"Yes, that's what I thought. Ever since I learned about this place, I think it's very suitable for hiding things."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said to Xu Bing: "Take us up to see the cave."
Xu Bing did not hesitate and simply led Li Yunsheng and his party up the mountain.
After a few minutes, they were halfway up the mountain. Xu Bing suddenly stopped and said to Li Yunsheng: "District Chief, the cave is near here. You can look for it and see if you can find it.
Li Yunsheng immediately looked around, but although the mountain was small, it was blocked by some trees, so he didn't notice it immediately.
Not only Li Yunsheng was looking for the cave, but several of his confidants who came with him also started looking for it. However, after two or three minutes, no one found it.
Seeing this situation, Xu Bing said proudly: "District Chief, what do you think? The cave is not easy to find."
Li Yunsheng smiled, then pointed to a place covered with trees and said casually: "If I guessed correctly, where should the cave be?"
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Xu Bing showed an unexpected expression, and then said: "District Chief, how did you find out."
The rest of the people also looked at Li Yunsheng with doubtful eyes. After all, the place Li Yunsheng pointed to was basically completely covered by trees, and nothing could be seen at all.
Hearing Xu Bing's words and looking at the doubtful looks of his men, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that he had watched too many TV dramas before, so he naturally knew how to hide in the cave.
However, the real reason cannot be said, so Li Yunsheng said casually: "Although there are many trees on this mountain, which one has the most trees? If there is a cave, it would be the easiest place to find it."
After listening to Li Yunsheng's explanation, Xu Bing sighed, and then said depressedly: "It seems that this place is not very safe. If the Japanese come here, they are likely to be discovered."
Li Yunsheng smiled and said: "I heard you say there is a cave here, so I can find it. If you don't know the details, you really can't find it.
Besides, Japanese people stay in urban areas and rarely leave the city, so there is no need to worry."
Xu Bing's mood improved a little, and then he quickly stepped forward and pulled apart a few short trees, and then a hole leaked out.
The entrance to the cave was not very big, and a normal person would have to bend down to get in. Li Yunsheng walked around inside and found that the place was okay, so he asked his men to carry the antiques.
Due to the need to go up the mountain and the narrow entrance of the cave, it took more than an hour to move all the antiques into the cave.
Afterwards, Li Yunsheng called a few of his confidants and said to them: "From now on, this place needs to be guarded 24 hours a day, so I decided that you will take turns leading people to watch here until these antiques are moved.
"
Naturally, a few confidants would not object. After all, these antiques are of great value and they really need to be watched over.
Afterwards, Li Yunsheng ordered all those involved in the matter not to act at will in the past few days, and divided the three people into groups, and no one was allowed to be alone.
When they heard Li Yunsheng's arrangement, the agents had no objection. After all, everyone knew that this was done because there was a traitor.
After everything was arranged properly, Li Yunsheng took people back to Tianjin city, and then let all the operatives return to their respective positions, including Wu Zhihe and Kitano Xiong Er.
When Li Yunsheng and others had just returned to the city, Kazuki Oyama and more than twenty of his subordinates were also taken to Tianjin to be questioned by the gendarmerie and intelligence agencies.
The Japanese military attaches great importance to the sinking of this warship. After all, the route from Tianjin to Japan is basically Japan's back garden. Now that such a big thing has happened, it is natural to investigate it carefully. Even the military police and Japanese intelligence
The agency also strongly requested to investigate the matter.
However, when the military police and the people from the Special High School investigated, they found that everyone gave basically the same answer, that is, the warship suddenly exploded and then sank quickly without any warning, much like a sudden attack by a submarine.
Faced with this investigation result, the gendarmerie and the people from the Special High School Division had no choice. After all, the warship had sunk and there were no clues at all.
However, the matter couldn't be left alone, as it really couldn't be explained, so Tanaka Misuke, who was in charge of the matter, specially asked his right-hand assistant Kawashima Kintake to discuss the matter.
Kawashima Jinwu also felt that this matter was suspicious. After all, the Japanese Navy was the only one in this area. If a submarine from another country came over, it would be impossible not to notice it, so he said: "General, I don't think this is a submarine attack. After all,
We don’t have any conflicts with other countries. The only ones who will attack us are the Chinese, but China’s naval power is basically zero and there are no submarines. What can they use to attack us.”
Tanaka Weisuke nodded and said in agreement: "What you said makes sense. Since it was not a submarine attack, how did the warship explode?"
Kawashima Jinwu said calmly: "The location of the explosion was in the deep sea, and there was no sign before the explosion, so it means that someone did something on the warship, which caused the warship to explode."
Tanaka Weisuke said seriously: "You are saying that someone got on the warship and then quietly blew it up."
Kawashima Jinwu solemnly said: "It is very possible, after all, the warship will not explode suddenly, and if it is ruled out that it is a submarine attack, this is the only reasonable explanation.
Moreover, this warship is used to transport antiques, and this matter has also been watched by the Chinese. They have no choice on land, so they will naturally turn to the warship."
Tanaka Weisuke frowned and asked: "How did the Shina people do this? After all, the sea is not land, and the warship is not an ordinary merchant ship. Most people cannot get on it."
Kawashima Jinwu said without thinking: "There must be a traitor on the warship, and the person who did it boarded the ship under the cover of the traitor, or maybe it was the traitor who did this, and this person's status should not be low."
Tanaka Weisuke thought for a while, then frowned and said: "But this warship came from Japan, and the personnel on it are all serving in China and have never stayed in China. How could they become traitors?"
"Then we need to investigate first. I suggest that all surviving personnel be arrested and locked up for individual interrogation."
Hearing Kawashima Kintake's words, Tanaka Weisuke shook his head and said cautiously: "People from the Navy are not easy to talk to. This time something like this happened, so they agreed to let us participate in the investigation and wanted to arrest their people.
If we stand up for interrogation, the senior navy officials will never agree, and we cannot force it."
After the warship sank, the Army and Japanese intelligence agencies wanted to investigate the matter, but the Japanese Navy was used to being strong and they were unwilling to have their internal matters investigated by other departments. In the end, the incident alerted the Emperor of Japan, and the top brass of the Navy then
Involving other departments, but trying to arrest their people for interrogation is impossible to succeed. Even if Tanaka Misuke is a high-level intelligence agency, he would not dare to make this request.
Seeing that Tanaka Weisuke refused to agree, Kawashima Jinwu had no choice. With his status, he could not make such a request. However, if there was no interrogation, there would be no useful information at all.
After thinking for a while, Kawashima Jinwu said: "Your Excellency General, my subordinates believe that the most urgent task now is to find the traitor. After all, the existence of this person will cause great losses."
Tanaka Weisuke sighed and said: "How to find this person? After all, the relationship between the Army and the Navy is tense, and we are very close to the Army, and the Navy is not willing to believe us."
Kawashima Jinwu thought for a while and then said: "If this matter is really done by the Chinese, they will definitely publicize it. After all, being able to blow up our warship is a happy event for them, so it will cause trouble."
Big.
At that time, we can take the opportunity to suggest that there is a traitor among the surviving personnel. Under pressure, the top brass of the Navy may not stop us from interrogating."
Tanaka Weisuke said without knowing why: "You mean, we are just waiting for news from the Chinese, and then put pressure on the navy."
Kawashima Jinwu said calmly: "Yes, now that things have happened, it is meaningless to investigate the reasons why it happened. Therefore, it is better to find the traitor, so as to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."
At the same time, Li Yunsheng also returned to his residence, and then ordered Xu Bing: "Send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that the Japanese guard these antiques very tightly, and we can't find a chance to take them back, so we can only blow up and sink the antiques."
warships to prevent these treasures from falling into the hands of the Japanese."
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Xu Bing was very surprised. After all, the antiques had been taken back. This was a lie about military information, so he said: "District Chief, if the headquarters finds out about this, it will be very troublesome. If you want money,
, we don’t need to take risks, and it’s not worth it for these things.”
Xu Bing thought that Li Yunsheng was motivated by wealth and wanted to embezzle these antiques, so he quickly tried to persuade him.
Sensing Xu Bing's attitude, Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "You misunderstood, I am not here for this batch of things, but for another purpose," and then introduced the situation.
After listening to Li Yunsheng's explanation, Xu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but he still hesitated. After all, the matter was not trivial. If he really concealed it, the danger would be great.
