Chapter 417: Lan Yuhai arrives in Shanghai
Is the identity of a queen important?
For Chen Miao in the past, he was really curious. He had also speculated on the possibility of some people himself, but he was not sure if he had not seen the real person.
After seeing Chen Yifan's "face-changing" disguise technique, he did not dare to make a judgment easily.
Now Chen Miao is no longer so curious about the identity of queen. Is it that important who queen is? In fact, strictly speaking, it is not that important.
It's nothing more than curiosity.
"By the way, do you want me to leave first and then you go out?" Chen Miao asked.
"Um."
"What are you doing..." Suddenly, when she saw Chen Miao preparing to take off her clothes, Queen couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, take off your clothes, can you let me go out like this?" Chen Miao also deliberately made a prank. He just acted and didn't want to do this at all.
"Can't you go and soak for a while before coming back and put on your clothes and leave?"
"Yes, why didn't I expect it?" Chen Miao smiled with a "I'm so stupid" expression, "Then like this, I'll go and take a while. You go quickly, I'll have something to do later."
"Okay, I know."
...
"Brother San, the person who booked this private room was surnamed Xia. He is a real estate agent and a regular visitor here." Chen Miao came back soon, and Xiaoqi also appeared in the private room.
"Check this guy with the surname Xia."
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "The interpersonal relationships of this kind of real estate agent are very complicated, I'm afraid I can't find anything."
"Let's find a way to get in touch with him. We must do things ahead first." Chen Miao ordered seriously.
"Okay, I understand." Xiaoqi nodded.
...
At 4:30 pm, Chen Miao and Yang Chen and others appeared at Wusongkou Wharf. Usually, they would pick up people at Shiliupu Wharf, but today they changed to Wusongkou Wharf.
This is because the ship runs from the United States to Nagasaki, Japan, and its terminal is Shanghai.
The cold wind with a quarrel of earthy smell hits the face, and there are many people waiting to receive passengers on the pier. I heard that most of the ships are Japanese expatriates from Nagasaki, and many of them are poor or small merchants in Japan. In China, they are dilapidated.
They couldn't make it in Japan anymore, so they made up their minds and bought a boat ticket, crossed the ocean to China, wanting to come here to find gold, and finally return home in glory.
Of course, the Japanese government encourages such immigration and colonization, and even has government subsidies and guidance.
Looking at the Japanese warships sailing on the pier and the river, and raising the plaster flag, the Japanese Navy's level soldiers pointed and laughed wildly and showed off their might. Chen Miao felt very painful inside.
When will these invaders be driven out, and when will China have a powerful navy that can guard the seas of the motherland?
In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Beiyang Navy was not as strong as the Japanese Navy, but it was a big defeat and a miserable loss. This was not because our warships and weapons were not good, but people. The one who ultimately decided the winner and lose the war was ultimately the one who used weapons.
The sea was Chen Miao’s childhood dream, dreaming that one day, he would drive his own warship and gallop on the ocean, and all the enemies he would invade into the sea to feed the fish!
This is the real value of a man.
Unfortunately, this dream can only stay in the dream. If you want to realize it, you may have to wait until your son or grandchildren.
No matter what, we must drive away the invaders and build a new and powerful China, and create a peaceful world for ourselves and for future generations.
"I've asked about it. It will probably take an hour before the boat can reach the dock. Why don't we find a place to sit for a while? It's windy and cold on the dock." Yang Chen jogged all the way.
“What are some good places to go nearby?”
"There is a tea shop run by Japanese people and sells some Japanese snacks. Should we try it?" Yang Chen said.
“Do you speak Japanese?”
"Can you get a little bit."
"Then go over, eat something to keep your stomach, and bring some to other brothers as well." Chen Miao nodded.
The turbid river water is actually nothing good to look at, especially now it is still winter, which is a bit bleak.
Chen Miao did get some information about Lan Yuhai from Queen. This person is from the American carving and plate making expert Haiqu, and he also went to the United States to study. After returning to China, he has been engaged in carving and plate design. He can be at least the top five in the Chinese carving and plate design industry and has the title of "ghost hand".
Lan Yuhai's qualifications are not the best among the many students of Haiqu, but he is hardworking and willing to study. Others spend their time drinking and communicating, and he uses all his skills to increase his skills. In addition to Haiqu, he also consulted with more famous sculptors for skills and learning, and finally became the "ghost hand" in the carving industry.
Lan Yuhai devoted himself to the skills of carving and making boards. He didn't get married until he returned from studying in the United States at the age of 30. After marriage, his wife gave birth to a daughter for him, and the family of three lived a happy life.
As Lan Yuhai became more and more famous in the domestic and international industry, his income naturally increased. Lan Yuhai bought a garden villa on Fukaisen Road, French Concession in Shanghai. He thought life would continue like this, but who knew that the Japanese entered Shanghai.
A war is about to break out in Shanghai, and talents like Lan Yuhai, who are naturally the key focus of the National Government's move westward.
Personal interests must be given way to the state.
Lan Yuhai and his family moved westward to Wuhan in early 1937, and then moved to Chongqing. Half a year later, Lan Yuhai received an invitation from an American university and gave him a very generous reward. So the family of three took Hong Kong and took a boat to detour Europe and went to the United States.
As for the situation in the United States, Chongqing cannot provide relevant information.
But this time, Lan Yuhai suddenly left his wife and daughter and returned from the United States. He did not transfer from Hong Kong, but took a boat to Nagasaki to Shanghai.
This route to return to China is a bit puzzling. Don’t he know that Shanghai is now under the control of the Japanese. Will the Japanese definitely pay attention to talents in special fields like him?
Of course, normal people generally don’t consider this. After all, his work doesn’t seem to have much to do with war, and he still gets a green card from the United States, so he thinks that the Japanese don’t dare to do anything to him, right?
Maybe there is some important person or matter in Shanghai that he needs to come back to deal with it personally. Otherwise, he has lived a good life in the United States, so why did he have to come back?
No matter what, you have to see Lan Yuhai himself before you can know.
"Cape, this octopus meatball is good, please try it..."
"Well, it's OK." Chen Miao rarely eats Japanese food, mainly because of taste, and is not very sensitive to Japanese cuisine. Especially for sashimi, he does not object to eating raw, but if he is allowed to himself, unless he is in a desperate situation, he would rather eat cooked food.
I sent some Guandong cooked and octopus balls to the brothers on the dock. Chen Miao and the others stayed in this Japanese snack bar for almost an hour, and it was already dark.
Only then did I see a ship with an American flag slowly approaching the shore at the Wusongkou Passenger Terminal.
Holding a photo of Lan Yuhai, Yang Chen and his men were guarding the only exit for passengers to get off the boat. They started to get off the boat from the passengers on the boat. After about a moment I passed, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark gray tweed coat, wearing a light red scarf, and carrying a suitcase in his hand slowly getting off the boat.
"It should be him at the seat."
"Yes." Chen Miao put out the cigarette butts in his hand and nodded, "Move quickly, don't mess with me."
"clear."
Yang Chen and his two subordinates quickly met him.
"Yes, Professor Lan?" Yang Chen suddenly inserted into Lan Yuhai, reached out and picked up the suitcase in his hand. Lan Yuhai, caught off guard, had no idea what was going on, but subconsciously agreed: "It's me."
Identity confirmed, no problem.
"Professor Lan, welcome you back to Shanghai. We are here to pick you up." Yang Chen smiled slightly. Two subordinates had already pinched over from left and right, raised Lan Yuhai and ran towards the car on the dock.
"You, who are you..." Lan Yuhai, who had never experienced such a situation, was frightened and asked repeatedly, but his questioning was useless.
At this time, who dares to meddle in other people's business?
Even the Japanese who maintained order on the dock just heard the sound and looked back, then pretended that they hadn't seen anything, and continued to do their own things.
Those who can drive to Wusongkou Wharf to pick up people are not something they can mess with. If they don’t do it well, they will cause trouble for themselves. Who will go to trouble?
"Professor Lan, you are following us obediently. We will not hurt you, but if you have to play tricks, you will inevitably suffer a little bit of flesh and blood..." After getting in the car, Yang Chen turned his head and smiled at Lan Yuhai, and then he put a dark hood on him.
"you……"
Chen Miao prepared two cars that were exactly the same as "Lan Yuhai". In addition to fearing that someone would intercept them in the middle, this was due to the consideration of Lan Yuhai's safety.
Lan Yuhai, who is like this, must ensure his safety. Once he starts, the bullet will not have eyes. Lan Yuhai is at least safe in his hands.
...
Broadway Building, third floor.
"Miss Yingzi, Chen Sanshui has picked up Lan Yuhai from Wusongkou Wharf. He has set up a suspicion array and got two identical cars, but I think the real Lan Yuhai should not be in the car that returns to West Shanghai with him..." Sakai knocked on the door and entered Sakurako Ikenai's office to report.
"Well, I understand, pay close attention." Sakurako Ikeuchi ordered, "If there is any situation, report it as soon as possible."
“Hayi.”
"How is Kobayashi going?"
"They had a short contact time yesterday. I guess they would be able to narrow the scope a little further until they contacted each other next time." Sakai said.
"Tell Kobayashi, let me pay more attention to the surroundings and speed up the progress. I must catch this 'swimming fish' and open a gap from him." Sakurako Ikenai ordered seriously.
