Chapter 25: Mastermind
Zhang Yong silently searched for the underground party.
It should not be from the United States. It's not that advanced, is it?
In fact, there were actually five other ships that were also blocked at the Wusongkou wharf. Two came from Hangzhou. Two came from Nanjing. And one came from Qingdao.
It was impossible to tell which one was harbouring the underground party. Everyone on board looked innocent.
Or maybe everyone was guilty.
At this time, Li Boqi had already led his men on board to search for the missing suitcase. But he didn't call Zhang Yong.
That was a bit strange...
Why didn't Li Boqi want him to follow?
But he didn't think much about it.
It so happened that at this time, the four disguised Japanese made their move.
They sailed a small boat and successfully arrived next to the cruise ship, where they began to clear the debris from the side of the ship.
Li Yuanqing's gaze also fell on these cleaners.
Zhang Yong came to Li Yuanqing's side.
'Who?' Li Yuanqing didn't seem to like people approaching.
Of course, this specifically referred to Chinese people.
If they were foreigners, it would definitely not be the case.
'My name is Zhang Yong.'
'From the Secret Service Division of the Lixing Society.'
'I wonder if Captain Li has noticed anything?'
Zhang Yong casually introduced himself.
Li Yuanqing moved aside. He distanced himself from him.
'Thank you!'
Zhang Yong gave a gesture.
This position was the best place to observe the cleaners.
One cleaner jumped into the river, as if to dive and clean. How professional.
However...
This is where the strangeness lies.
Why would the Japanese disguise themselves as cleaners and jump into the river to clean?
Could it be that there is something precious in the sea?
Haha. We'll see.
After the cleaner emerged from the water, their cleaning work was over. They started rowing back.
No one noticed them.
Kurimoto Ao's gaze also shifted away. Obviously, he felt that there was no suspicion.
None of these cleaners boarded the ship. They were also a long way from the deck. There was no suspicion of committing a crime. Naturally, there was no need to waste time paying attention to them.
Zhang Yong waved his hand and led a few police cadets over. He stopped four cleaners.
He deliberately looked back at the nearby Fumio Kishida.
Kishida Fumio's face turned pale.
He sensed that something was wrong. It was as if the plot had been uncovered.
Zhang Yong's mouth curled into a sneer.
'Team leader!'
'Team leader!'
he shouted.
Li Boqi quickly came down from the cruise ship.
'What is it?'
'These four are Japanese. They have the metal box.'
'What?'
Li Boqi's face changed. He then drew his gun.
The others quickly drew their guns as well.
'Don't move!'
'Don't move!'
The four cleaners were immediately surrounded.
Everyone around them was suddenly alerted.
'What's going on?'
'What's going on?'
The crowd gathered. Including William and John. And Kong Fansong and the others.
Ye Wansheng also took the opportunity to rush in with his men.
Fumio Kishida also struggled to get in.
The four cleaners looked a little frightened. But not particularly frightened. Their eyes still had some confusion in them. It seemed that they couldn't figure out what had happened to them.
'Come here!'
Zhang Yong shouted. The muzzle never left the target.
The four cleaners glanced at each other. At the same time, they quietly glanced into the distance.
In the distance, it happened to be the location of Fumio Kishida.
Fumio Kishida was anxious. But there was nothing he could do. There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
'What's going on?' Kong Fansong asked.
'They want to move the fiat currency,' Zhang Yong whispered in reply.
'They?' Kong Fansong could not believe it.
It seemed that none of these people had boarded the ship! There was no way they could have come into contact with the currency.
However, he also hoped that the lost currency could be recovered immediately. If these people in front of him were the thieves, it would naturally be best.
'They are all Japanese.'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes.'

Zhang Yong answered with certainty.
Kong Fansong's face was very complicated. He wanted to say something but stopped.
'Arrest them!'
Li Boqi was absolutely unceremonious.
He immediately ordered the men to arrest them. The crowd rushed forward and seized the four cleaners.
'Search!'
'Yes!'
Zhang Yong jumped onto the wooden boat.
He almost figured out how the four cleaners had hidden the box of currency.
After all, he had watched the entire Sherlock Holmes series.
Instead of carefully inspecting the top of the wooden boat, he carefully looked at the side. Among the messy clutter, he found several ropes that had fallen into the water. He pulled them one by one.
The first one, no...
The second one, no...
The third one, no...
Until the eighth one.
Finally, with some luck, he pulled up a package.
The package was wrapped in tarpaulin. He removed the tarpaulin. Inside was a tin box.
'Legal tender!'
'Legal tender!'
Kong Fansong immediately exclaimed.
That's right. This tin box is for legal tender.
'Baka!'
'Baka!'
Suddenly, the four cleaners moved.
They seemed to be outbursting beasts, and they actually got away from the control of the people around them in an instant.
The police academy students did not immediately tie up the people they caught. After all, there was no evidence. So, two people held each cleaner, not expecting that the other party would actually erupt.
Of course, this was also deliberately arranged by Li Boqi. It was to give the other party a chance to resist.
If they don't resist or struggle, how can you shoot them?
"Bang!'
'Bang!'
Sure enough, as soon as the cleaner resisted, Li Boqi shot him.
He shot very quickly, but none of the shots were fatal. They all hit the target's shins. Or arms.
The injured cleaner's fighting power was suddenly halved, and soon he was unable to continue resisting.
This time, the police cadet tied them up with ropes. The bindings were even stronger than a rice dumpling.
At this point, no further explanation was needed. The case was solved.
'Bastard!'
William slapped him a few times.
The cheeks of the cleaners were beaten like a pig's head.
Then he gave each of them a hard kick.
He was also very angry about the stolen fiat currency. Now that the thief was caught, he naturally would not let go.
The injured cleaners were almost out of breath from William's beating.
Fumio Kishida quietly turned around and left.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. However, he was stopped by Zhang Yong.
What? Want to leave?
These four are all your men, aren't you taking them with you?
'You...move aside!'
'Mr. Kishida, you don't want your own men? You want to leave alone?'
'Asshole! I don't know what you're talking about.'
'Mr. Kishida, we Chinese have an old saying, called when the heart is scattered, the team is hard to lead. You abandon your own men like this, aren't you worried about being bitten back?'
'Baka! I have nothing to do with them!'
'Oh, I see. On the cruise ship, there are also people you hired. Right?'
'You're talking nonsense!'
Kishida tried to leave in a hurry.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yong was not going to let him go.
If this guy fell into the hands of the Chinese, he might be able to talk his way out of it. He might not be punished.
But first, he would be thrown to the Americans and the British to suffer.
Then he grabbed Fumio Kishida by the collar, kicked him over, and made him lie on the ground.
'Team leader, he's the mastermind!'
'Arrest him!'
'No, leave him to us!'
The American William spoke up.
He didn't care who Fumio Kishida was. His interests had been seriously infringed upon.
If his own interests were not harmed, the Americans would naturally stay out of it. But the theft of legal tender seriously threatened the issuance of legal tender, so of course he could not just sit back and do nothing.
'Baka...'
'I'm not...'
Kishida Fumio shouted in a hurry and anger.
Then his mouth was covered with a rag. No matter what he wanted to shout, he couldn't.
A group of patrolmen came up and held him down.
Kishida Fumio knew that he was in big trouble.
