Section 623 Stowaway 1
"Being arrogant, what nonsense is said in broad daylight? Where do you get the ghost? There are only foreign devils outside." Gu Qi saw that the old man from the intelligence department came in to report, and quickly scolded him, but he felt a little foul.
Of course, it would not be groundless to be able to scare a well-trained professional intelligence officer like this. Is the ship not clean? As he thought about it, he swallowed his saliva and sweated wildly.
Others wanted to laugh when they saw this. Who wouldn't know that Lao Gu believed in these ghosts and gods? It is said that there were five elements and eight trigrams under the bed at home, and they didn't know who to suppress.
Zuo Chong frowned and signaled the little spy to make it clear. He didn't believe there was a ghost, but their actions were of great importance. He had to be vigilant when he returned home and could not make any mistakes.
Seeing the little spy's teeth trembled and his expression was terrified. Since they left Germany, they have found that the food in the kitchen was often turned around, especially the portion was much smaller.
The spies suspected that it was done by the crew, so they kept the food in the restaurant many times and sent someone to monitor it outside. No one had ever been in during this period, but the food was still messed up.
Today, the other party and several other people were responsible for monitoring the crew. Before leaving, they locked the restaurant with padlocks and carried the keys with them. They had just taken over to eat, and the food was overturned again.
Speaking of this, the spy revealed a hint of fear in his eyes. He finally calmed down and continued: "The restaurant is only one exit. We carefully searched the house and confirmed that there were no hiding people inside.
The keyhole of the padlock is very clean, and there are no traces of technical unlocking. The safety mark left in the crack of the door is also there. I specially placed a piece of hair at the door, and the direction has not changed."
Hiss! It's indeed a bit weird.
Guqi and others took a deep breath. They still trusted their professional skills. So many elite secret service personnel stared at an exit, and it was impossible for someone to be discovered when they entered.
Zuo Chong smiled coldly: "There is no ghost who needs to eat? It's almost the same as eating ingots and candles. Someone must be making trouble. Let's go and see the real face of this starving ghost.
After saying that, he took He Yijun and Guqi to the restaurant, and met Mao Yike and Captain Jason who had returned halfway on the way. Obviously, they also received news that the Dresden was haunted.
In response, Mao Yike, a top student at Berlin University of Technology, vowed to say that he felt cold as soon as he got on the ship, and he felt like he was being targeted, and sometimes he would have nightmares.
Jason even devoutly drew a cross on his chest, muttering something in his mouth. It seemed that he had done many misconduct. The long-distance ships of these days were just a lawless place, and everything would happen.
Zuo Chong walked and looked at a weapon expert with contempt: "Director Mao, we are on the sea surface. Of course, we will feel cold if we have enough water vapor. Just go back and cover two more quilts when you go back to sleep."
Mao Yike's old face turned red, and then he retorted a little dissatisfied: "Why didn't we feel like this when we went to Germany? Chief Wang, I'm a person who has read books, you can't fool me."
"We made the first class cruise ship cabin when we came. Now the sea is under your cabin. Is that the same? Don't say anything. Today I will be the ghost-catching master and catch this little ghost alive."
Zuo Chong said something and immediately pushed open the restaurant door in front of him. Several spies were searching the ground and wall inch by inch, trying to find evidence that someone was entering and leaving.
Although they were scared, their professional instincts were not forgotten and they were ready to rule out other factors first, such as someone hiding secretly on the boat. If this is the case, they must find the person as soon as possible.
Seeing that the deputy director brought people here in person and his face was not very good-looking, the few people quickly lowered their heads to greet him, and cursed the ghost who stole food or some Wang Badan in his heart.
Zuo Chong waved his hand and asked them to go out first. After checking for so long, he had not gained anything. The possibility of a secret door in the restaurant was very small. The other party must have entered the cabin in a way that ordinary people could not detect.
He walked around the house with his hands behind his back, looked around from time to time, and finally turned his eyes to the circular porthole on the wall of the cabin, and then slowly walked over and stopped in front of the porthole and fell into thinking.
This is a very ordinary porthole. In order to avoid the glass being broken by huge waves in high seas, the diameter is about 20 cm. Not to mention humans, even a little fat animal cannot get in.
Just to disperse all the complex smells in the restaurant, and as the freighter passed through the Dardanelles and drove on the Aegean Sea where the wind and waves were reduced, the chef in Dresden opened the porthole.
Zuo Chong raised his hand and stretched out of the window for a careful fumble. He touched two long protrusions about 2 to 3 cm wide up and down the window. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands, turned his head and asked.
"Mr. Captain, I don't know what the protrusions outside are useful and how they are distributed. Is it possible for people to transfer from other cabins to outside the portholes of the restaurant through these places."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. It is an iron bar used to strengthen the hull structure. It is arranged staggered up and down the porthole, with a width of 3 cm and a narrowest of 1 cm, so it is impossible to borrow force at all."
Jason shook his head quickly, and his tone was very firm: "Besides, the nearest porthole is 3 to 4 meters away from here, I can't imagine that someone can jump out of such a long distance and then land accurately on the iron bar."
Zuo Chong thought about it and knew what the iron bars were used for. The overall strength of the ship wall would become lower after opening the porthole. Welding the iron bars around it can prevent deformation when the hull was beaten by huge waves.
The problem is that there is only such a way to enter and exit inside and outside the restaurant. He looked at the big bald man and wanted to ask the other party's opinions. Among the people present, this guy has the strongest ability to move.
Gui Youguang did not rush to answer, but walked to the porthole with his head held high and his chest, touched it outside, and then shook his head decisively and gave a negative answer, at least he couldn't do it.
It's interesting, there can't be any real ghost.
Left Chong crossed his hands and hugged his chest, tapping his fingers gently on his arms. After a long time, he looked at the messy food on the table and the neatly arranged knife and fork next to the food.
All this shows that there seems to be an extremely hungry person entering the restaurant. The man gave up the tableware close to his hand and frantically stuffed the food into his mouth with his hands, and finally left without any concealment.
He closed his eyes and restored the scene in his mind. He soon realized that there was a place that didn't make sense. The small spy who reported the news said that after the freighter left Germany, a suspicious person flipped the food.
Then the other party should not be so hungry after such a long time, and there is no need to make the food the same as that of a wild beast, because this will not benefit from attracting their attention.
Messy food.
Neat tableware.
Zuo Chong suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes and stared at Jason, asking how many cabins there were around the restaurant with portholes, preferably those that were usually uninhabited or not used for a long time.
Jason was a competent captain. He immediately said that only four cabins met the requirements when he heard this, namely the kitchen on the left, the warehouse on the right, the engine compartment below, and the storage room above.
After hearing this, Zuo Chong said nothing, pulled his gun and loaded it out of the restaurant and climbed up the stairs to the upper floor. The others quickly followed him with weapons in hand and followed him vigilantly.
When they arrived outside the storage room, Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang stood in front on both sides of the cabin door. The two nodded to each other. Gui Youguang raised his gun with one hand and put the other hand on the handle and slowly pressed it down.
"Gada~"
The storage room door was opened and a strong smell of paint rushed towards us. The two of them flashed in one after another, keeping alert in a back-to-back position, checking all suspicious positions.
The small cabin was completely visible, with buckets of paint on the two shelves placed against the wall, and a pile of shabby tart cloth in the corner. It seemed that the thief who was flipping the food was not here.
Wu Chunyang did not relax his vigilance, pointed the gun in his hand in a certain direction, and Gui Youguang moved his footsteps to form a cross-fire circle with him. The two slowly moved to the corner and pulled the oil cloth away.
"ah!"
"No...move!"
Under the lifted oilcloth, a white girl about 8 or 9 years old was lying on the ground, covering her eyes and shouting sharply. There was also a big white cat bent and constantly roaring.
The onlookers looked at each other. Where did the little girl and the cat come out? Only Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang still maintain their alert movements, pointing at each other without moving.
Zuo Chong, who had already guessed, walked into the room with a smile. The white big cat became more and more fierce. The hair on his body stood up, revealing his mouth and sharp teeth to protect the little girl behind him.
"Haha, the little guy is quite loyal."
Zuo Chong copied his hand in his pocket and said to himself, "As long as the one who flips the food, it is true that animals who can't use knife and fork, and only animals can use that impossible route to enter the restaurant."
Moreover, the cat is very smart. Not only does it know how to find food, but it also knows how to bring things back. Otherwise, the little girl would have starved to death and died of thirst. He looked at the residue and the fruit core on the ground and thoughtfully.
But who is the other party? Judging from the clothes and jewelry she is wearing, her family background is absolutely extraordinary. Could it be that she is a runaway princess? It’s not right. This is reality, not a fairy tale.
"Yi Jun, go and check if there are any weapons on her body, and then check if there are any marks or pictures on the jewelry. Pay attention to that cat, Gui Youguang, please bring this little thing aside first."
Zuo Chong didn't want to be scratched and his face was covered with blood. He decisively sent out a thick-skinned bald head. Gui Youguang muttered a few words and took back the pistol. He covered the white cat with a tart cloth and easily controlled the cat.
He Yijun quickly checked the scared little girl over there. She did not find her weapon, but only found a small package in her arms, which contained a seal and several documents full of text.
Chapter completed!
