According to this employee, although Jiang Customs manages the inspection and taxation of all ships, the Shanghai Municipal Government also has a department that manages these port affairs, called the Shanghai Shipping Bureau.
Its jurisdiction is very wide, and all ports in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui are under its management. But for Shanghai Port, it only handles simple matters such as ship inspection and surveying. In addition, several public docks in Nanshi are also under its jurisdiction.
It manages.
The clerk suggested: "Go to the Shanghai Shipping Bureau. I guess you won't be able to find out anything. There is a shipyard under the Shanghai Shipping Bureau, just south of Shiliupu Pier, which manages several public docks. You might as well go there to check.
Check it out.”
Peng Shaoyong stared at him with a gloomy expression, "Are your registrations here complete?"
The clerk nodded vigorously to him and said firmly: "Except for the public docks in Nanshi, all ships arriving in Shanghai are registered with me! They will never be missed!"

In this way, Peng Shaoyong and others returned to Shiliupu Pier again.
This time, Li San volunteered and ran to the dock alone to inquire.
Finally, he found the ship management office on a barge moored by the river.
This shipping office is affiliated to the Shipping Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and they are all Chinese. The leader is an old man named Mo. As soon as he saw the ID Peng Shaoyong showed, he immediately arranged for several employees to start searching for the name of "Qingjin Pills"
relevant circumstances.
An hour later, Peng Shaoyong was surprised by the results!
This "Qingjin Maru" is indeed a Japanese cargo ship. Recently, it has been coming every two days to unload cargo at the dock. The dock where the cargo is unloaded is exactly the dock that Li San pointed out. The unloaded goods are all transported into Li San
In the warehouse that San discovered, the shipping office had records of these circumstances, which were consistent with what Li San said.
What surprised Peng Shaoyong was that this cargo ship came every two days and was obviously not from Japan.
He judged that the goods should be shipped from a Japanese warship outside Wusongkou! In addition, this ship has come four times!
Although the "Kutsu Maru" is not big, with a load capacity of only a few dozen tons, it has been here four times, which is quite a lot!
If according to what Li San said, they were all cannons of various calibers, the situation would be very serious!
He stared at the gray-haired Mr. Mo calmly and asked, "What cargo is on the ship?"
Mr. Mo whispered: "We haven't checked it, so we don't know."
"Why? Aren't you a ship management office?" Peng Shaoyong's face was already serious.
"Sir, we don't dare to investigate. Someone from the city government has said hello that we are not allowed to investigate!" Mr. Mo said calmly.
"Who said hello?" Peng Shaoyong asked immediately.
"It's a gentleman named Geng. He said it was Mayor Yu who told me." Mr. Mo said coldly.
Peng Shaoyong was furious in his heart. But he did not explode, but gritted his teeth and endured it.
He understood that this person was Geng Jizhi! Mayor Yu’s English secretary! He actually had connections with foreign countries and helped the Japanese transport a large number of heavy weapons! Bastard! A complete traitor!
Now, everything about the "Qingjin Maru" and the cargo it transported was clear. He said goodbye to Mr. Mo and the expressionless staff at the shipyard, took Li San, and drove directly to Sixth Avenue, where he met
Meet Luo Jiang!

After Luo Jiang finished listening to Peng Shaoyong's report and Li San's description of the various cannons in the warehouse, his expression became even more serious.
The Japanese smuggled weapons to Shanghai, and they were heavy weapons! All kinds of mountain artillery, flat-fire artillery and mortars showed that they just wanted to fight in Shanghai! They were making full preparations! This problem is too serious!
The first thing he did was to personally draft a telegram and report it to the Secret Service headquarters in Nanjing.
Secondly, he turned around and said: "At four o'clock this afternoon, the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command will hold a military meeting in Zhenru Town and requires me to attend. You, and that Li Xuanzhi, go with me. I will ask Zhang at the meeting
When the chief reports this matter, you may need to report the details. You should be prepared and the content of the report should be simple and clear."
A rare smile appeared on Peng Shaoyong's face. He did not expect that the situation he reported would be taken so seriously.
He nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I will definitely be prepared."
After Luo Jiang arranged all the work, he and Peng Shaoyong took two cars and drove to the western suburbs, heading straight for Zhenru Town.
Sitting in the car, Luo Jiang asked Peng Shaoyong again worriedly: "Are you really talking about Geng Jizhi?"
Peng Shaoyong nodded and said: "Yes, that's him! Mayor Yu's English secretary! Chen Zifeng's team has long listed him as a suspect! They once secretly monitored him!"
Luo Jiang took a deep breath, nodded, and said no more.
17-7
At this time, Geng Jizhi, who was being remembered by others, also felt that he was in danger!
In the morning, he was shot on Fengtian Road and seriously injured. The police sent him to the nearby Gongji Hospital.
He woke up from a coma and vaguely recalled various scenes during the gun battle.
Although these scenes were sporadic, chaotic, and intermittent like broken movie reels, he understood that although he narrowly escaped death, he was already in trouble!
The sticks broke the glass, the muzzle of the gun stuck out from the window, the shouts of those people, and the deafening gunshots all made him understand that this was the craziest revenge of the Qing Gang! The target was Liu Yingui's Hongmen!
He secretly discussed with Liu Yingui all night, just to take revenge on the Qing Gang! Unexpectedly, the Qing Gang was more ruthless and crazier than Liu Yingui!
He absolutely shouldn't have, absolutely shouldn't have taken Chu Jinbao's car this morning! As a result, he suffered such a disaster!
He couldn't help but think about whether he was also one of the targets of this morning's shooting! Has he offended the Youth Gang? Will the Youth Gang attack him again in the future?
He thought again, maybe it's not that big of a deal. Boss Du and I have met a few times and have some friendship. If I ask Boss Huang to explain it, there shouldn't be any problem, right? He comforted himself in his heart.
However, when a young man came to visit the patient in the next bed, he realized that there was another danger threatening him!
The young man exaggeratedly described to the people in the ward the various scenes in which the "Commercial Daily" newspaper office was set on fire and many reporters were beaten to death, as if he had personally experienced it and had been through fire and water.
He waved his hands and said: "Wow, there are so many trucks! There must be hundreds of people, all dressed in black and short shirts, holding swords, spears, and machine guns! They rushed into the newspaper office with a bang.
, beat and kill everyone they saw! Some people were thrown directly from the upstairs! Oh my god! They were all so fierce! Then they set fires everywhere in the newspaper office! That fire was like a roar.
The ground burned, and the flames were as high as a three-story building! The fire brigade had gone and had no choice but to watch it burn!"
The patient in the next bed asked: "Is that newspaper office provoking gang members?"
The young man waved his hands, "That's for sure! Otherwise, what would it be for?"
The patient in the next bed asked confused: "They still have machine guns? The gang doesn't have machine guns, right?"
The young man shouted: "They are still shooting in the newspaper office! The gangs also have guns now! They have both long and short guns! I heard it clearly. People all over the street were running away in fear! Is there any fake news?"
"
Geng Jizhi finally couldn't help it anymore and turned around and asked: "Really fired?"
The young man glared at him, as if blaming him for not believing what he said, "It was machine gun fire! Click, click, click, a series of shots! People on the street were running around! They were all afraid of being shot!"
Geng Jizhi didn't speak for a while. The gang retaliated against the newspaper office, beating, killing, and even setting fire to it. It wasn't strange. But it seemed different when they fired. Shooting with machine guns might be a bit exaggerated, but shooting seemed real.
of.
Only then did he realize how dangerous his current situation was! The people who burned down the newspaper office were more likely to be the army!
Maybe Director Zhai got some news that someone wanted to report the arms deal to the newspaper office, so he ordered his soldiers to do it! Oh my god, if you think about it like this, you will be implicated too!
Another possibility is that Director Zhai may not know that he is alive. If he knew, he would not dare to think about what happened next!
The young people chatted until it was almost noon and then they were leaving.
Geng Jizhi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, can you do me a small favor so that I can cut it down?"
The young man said: "Tell me, what is it?"
Geng Jizhi took out a letter from the leather bag beside the bed, and took out two dollars from his wallet and handed them to him, "I want to send a letter. It's an important matter. I can't move now, please help me."
Just send it and throw it in the mailbox."
For the sake of two yuan, the young man readily agreed.
He looked at the envelope and said: "Did you send it to Xilin Zibao? Mr. Qian? Okay, no problem. Just throw it in the mailbox, right?"
Geng Jizhi said hurriedly: "Yes, just throw it in any mailbox. Thank you, little brother."
He watched the young man walk away happily, but it felt like a knife was stirring in his heart!
Putting the arms business in the newspaper was the task given to him by Mr. Lanting! As soon as he saw the look in Mr. Lanting's eyes yesterday, he knew that if he didn't do this well, Mr. Lanting would definitely not let him go!
But he is all too aware of the consequences of exposing the arms business to the newspapers!
He now has to consider another problem, how to escape from here as soon as possible! You can't stay in the hospital for a long time! Once the arms business is reported, Director Zhai will soon know that he lives here!
However, he couldn't move now. He was shot once in the leg and once in the shoulder. Although it was not fatal, it made it difficult for him to move. As long as he moved, the two wounds felt like someone had stabbed him with a knife.
The pain was excruciating.
In a blink of an eye, he saw a patient sitting in a wheelchair being pushed through the corridor.
His eyes rolled. Can a wheelchair help him escape from the hospital? Where can he find a wheelchair?

At this time, Liao Ruolan, who lived in Qiaojia Lane, gradually realized that there was some uneasiness hidden in the surrounding atmosphere.
Most of the team members came back. But soon, some more team members were sent out and left in a hurry.
