Chapter 291 (1/2)
More than ten days later, port bolente, Italy.
As soon as the freighter Xihang of COSCO entered the territorial sea, it was hijacked all the way by the patrol ship and forced to anchor in the shallow sea.
The man who put on the flag, brought an interpreter and shouted for the reason. However, the patrol ship opposite turned a deaf ear and made no response.
After two hours of stalemate between the two sides, a brightly lit large cruise ship approached with an extremely dangerous tough attitude, which scared all the crew of the cargo ship in a cold sweat.
The distance between the two ships was only more than ten meters. A large number of sailors poured out of the cruise ship, tied the small cargo ship with cables and pulled it over with the help of machinery. Then, wooden boards were laid between the two ships and connected as a whole.
The captain rushed to the bow, opened his arms and shouted, ”I'm the captain of this ship. We're from China. Please don't get me wrong. We're just an ordinary cargo ship under the ocean company. There are no weapons on board and we're not aggressive!”
The interpreter nearby hurried to interpret it simultaneously. Before he finished speaking, armed bodyguards rushed up and knocked all these people to the ground.
Faced with live ammunition, no one dared to resist. The captain's face turned blue. Until now, he was still confused. What kind of God did he provoke?
”We are Chinese and protected by international law.”
”Please don't shoot, we have no weapons!”
A blonde young woman came out, stood on the deck, glanced at the people in front of her, opened her mouth and spit out a string of fluent Chinese: ”who is the captain?”
The captain quickly raised his head and opened his hands: ”I'm the captain! I'm the captain!”
The woman looked at the captain and waved to the armed bodyguard, ”bring him here.”
The bodyguard behind him moved the muzzle of the gun, pulled the captain's back collar and lifted him in front of the woman.
”We are Chinese, belonging to ocean going companies, protected by international law. We do not carry weapons and do not have the ability of armed resistance.” the captain repeated this sentence, as if he was afraid that the other party would forget it as soon as he turned around.
”No one can protect you here. If you want to protect your life, you have to cooperate.” the woman said contemptuously.
”OK, I cooperate, I cooperate.” the captain nodded quickly.
The woman seemed quite satisfied with the captain's attitude, nodded her chin and continued to ask, ”now I ask you, is there a Chinese surnamed Lin on your ship?”
The captain was slightly stunned, pondered for a while, and answered honestly: ”on my ship, there are three people surnamed Lin, one of them is a woman, and the other two are old people. They have worked as technicians on the ship for more than 20 years.”
”No, I want a young man surnamed Lin, not an old man.” the woman's words were cold.
The body stagnated for a while, and the ship replied, ”there is no young man surnamed Lin on my ship.”
The woman was a little impatient. She kicked her high heels on the ground and nodded to the bodyguard behind the captain.
As soon as the bodyguard's eyes were frozen, he raised the butt of his gun and smashed it hard on the back of the captain's head. With a scream, the captain fell to the side and covered the back of his head with his hands. He only felt a heat flow filling his fingers. He took it down and saw that it was full of red blood.
The woman leaned forward and came up to the captain. She said in a cold voice, ”fourteen days ago, that is, August 6, your ship set out from Huaxia Longkou port. Before sailing, did a young man surnamed Lin get on the ship? Or had already sailed, and the young man then got on the ship?”
The captain only felt the buzz around and his consciousness was a little blurred. The other side remembered the date so clearly. It was obviously prepared. It had been watched since the Western Airlines left Longkou.
”Let me ask you one last time, is there such a young man?”
The captain shook his head painfully: ”there was really no such person on my ship. At that time, the China maritime police were investigating smuggling and informed us to postpone the departure, but I am sure that no one got on the ship during that time. Now all the crew members on the ship have followed my subordinates for more than three years, and there are no strangers.”
The woman's face had a subtle phone call, gave a wink to the bodyguards around, then turned away and walked into the cabin.
Along the red carpet, the waiters standing on both sides opened the carved wooden door. The woman came to an empty banquet hall and leaned slightly at the door: ”Miss, I have asked. There is no young man surnamed Lin on this ship.”
”Fanny, you have lived in China for more than ten years. Naturally, it is clear that Chinese people are the most deceptive.” a cold female voice sounded slowly, like the sound of nature.
Fanny nodded. ”But I'm sure the captain didn't lie. At least in his consciousness, there was no young man on board.”
