Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 71 Who is the Dragon Guardian?

The murderer who blew up the warship was not found, and Yamamoto of the Special High Police was eventually recalled to the country to be punished. He was replaced by Yamano Tae, Doihara's former assistant.

After answering a phone call, Yamano Duojiang hung up the phone with a heavy heart.

Fukada Yumiko, who was making tea, brought the brewed tea to him and said, "Teacher, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat first."

Yamano drank his tea in one gulp and said, "Yumiko, I just received accurate information that our warship was most likely destroyed by the ship codenamed 'Dragon Guardian'."

Fukada Yumiko was Yamano's most valued student, having made significant contributions over the past few years. She had previously been active in North China and had come to Shanghai on several missions.

She poured more tea for Shanye, then slowly asked, "Teacher, now that we have information about the Dragon Guardian, we will definitely be able to catch him."

Shanye shook his head and said, "We only know that this person's code name is 'Dragon Guardian'. We don't know whether he is a man or a woman, short or fat, or how old he is."

It is impossible to find someone just by using a code name.

Without hesitation, Fukada Yumiko said, "Teacher, a powerful agent like the Dragon Guardian must have carried out many missions. His actions would have left traces, and we will definitely be able to find him."

Shanye nodded and said, "Adolf lost a batch of goods. They were registered at the customs as food, cigars, watches and other items, but in fact they were medicines, guns and other prohibited items that we control.

"Baga!" Fukada Yumiko cursed. These hawks are truly despicable, exploiting diplomatic immunity to smuggle and profit. Smuggling medicine is fine, but these bastards also smuggle arms. These arms are sold to the Kuomintang and the Red Party, causing them huge losses. But for the sake of the greater good, they can't touch these people.

Yumiko Fukada asked, "Teacher, where is this batch of goods now?"

Shanye also didn't know where the goods were. "It's strange that such a large amount of goods was shipped away without anyone noticing. Afterwards, Adolf put pressure on the docks and sent people to search every corner of the docks, but they found nothing."

"Could it be shipped away?"

Shanye shook his head and said, "Something happened at Blue Chimney Pier that night. All four piers were patrolled, and twice as many people were deployed to guard the gate."

Yumiko Fukada said, "Teacher, this batch of goods should still be at the dock."

Yamano denied her speculation: "Adolf used a metal detector to look for this shipment, but couldn't find it. This shipment is no longer at the dock. The people who stole this shipment must still be at Blue Chimney Dock. Yumiko, I need you to find these people."

Fukada Yumiko said, "Teacher, do you suspect this is related to the Dragon Guardian?"

Shanye believed that the Dragon Guardian was not a single person, but a special forces team. It would be impossible for one person to kill everyone on the patrol ship and then blow it up.

Two days later, Han Hui heard that the head of the Security Department had been dismissed and replaced by a woman named Tao Jinxiu.

Dong Xiaomei's relative was the head of the customer service department, so she was well-informed. She whispered, "I heard this Miss Tao is the vice president's sister-in-law."

Han Hui found it strange: "She is the vice president's sister-in-law. She can go to any department. Why does she want to go to the Security Department?"

Having a section chief parachuted in at this juncture makes me feel like things aren't that simple. But I'm not afraid. If something comes, we'll fight it. If something comes, we'll block it. We can manage any change with the same approach.

Dong Xiaomei said, "This Miss Tao is said to be very skilled. Xiao Han, you are also very skilled. I wonder who is more skilled between you two."

This was a case of watching the fun without fear of trouble. Han Hui waved her hand, indicating that her strength was her advantage, and she was definitely no match for Miss Tao. Tao Jinxiu launched an investigation upon entering the Security Department, first conducting an internal review and then investigating those who had been at Blue Chimney Wharf on the night of the incident. Han Hui was also there that night and was among those under investigation.

Han Hui was a little surprised to see Tao Jinxiu. She had imagined Tao Jinxiu to be very heroic; but the woman before her was beautiful, with skin as white as cream, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a tight brown sweater that outlined her slender waist. She looked like a movie star.

Deputy Section Chief Jian Ruoyang coughed and said, "Han Hui, I called you here today because I have a few questions for you. You must answer truthfully."

Han Hui nodded and said, "Deputy Section Chief Jian, please ask."

Jian Ruoyang asked with a stern face, "Why didn't you go home on December 13th, but stayed in the dormitory instead? As far as I know, you live in a villa in the JA area, and your family is very rich."

Han Hui said, "Because I had a fight with my brother. I was very angry, so I told them that I would not go back and would live in the dormitory."

She suspected someone would ask about it later at the dock, and had already discussed it with Han Mengyang. Plus, she had already mentioned it to Zhang Ziqiang and the others that day, so she wasn't worried about being suspected.

"What's the quarrel about?"

Han Hui gets angry when she talks about this: "His friend got hurt in a fight, and he felt sorry for her so he wanted to take her home to take care of her. But he himself didn't even help when his friend fell over at home, and instead brought her home, and she ended up having to be taken care of by my mother. They got into a fight over this, and in the end my mother sided with him."

After saying this, she said with a gloomy look on her face, "If he hadn't wanted to be a pushover, I wouldn't have moved into the dormitory, and I wouldn't have been driven downstairs in the cold in the middle of the night."

Jian Ruoyang coughed and said, "Did you hear any unusual noises that night?"

Han Hui naturally said no: "The pier is quite far from the dormitory. I was woken up by the whistle."

"You used to be from the Security Department. Why didn't you go to provide support when you heard the whistle?"

This is a bit of moral blackmail. Han Hui refuted it bluntly: "Before, it was work-related. I had no choice. But I have been transferred to another position. It's freezing cold. I'm so warm in bed. I'd be stupid to run out and freeze."

Jian Ruoyang was speechless.

Tao Jinxiu had been observing Han Hui and didn't find anything suspicious. "Han Hui, you live in the Jing'an Villa District, and your mother runs a braised food business. Your family isn't short of money, so why did you come to work at the docks?"

Han Hui wouldn't say she was just trying to experience life; no one would believe her. "I want to open a trading company, but I'm new in Shanghai and I don't know anything, so I want to work at the docks for a while. Once I understand the supply channels, I'll quit and start a trading company."

Jian Ruoyang was convinced. How could he dare to say anything?

This answer was completely beyond Tao Jinxiu's expectations: "Why do you want to open a trading company?"

Han Hui said without hesitation, "Because the trading company makes money! My brother used to be a manager at the trading company, so he has experience and sales channels. I'm good at delivering goods. The timing, location, and people are all right, it would be a shame not to start it."

“What will you do with the money you earn?”

Han Hui said without hesitation, "Of course, I'll buy a villa in the JA area. That way, even if my brother gets married in the future, I can still go home and eat my mother's cooking every day."

Jian Ruoyang laughed secretly, what a child.
