Chapter 378 I Only Believe in You (Script 13)
"This is not a police procedural."
Li Zheng frowned.
According to regulations, undercover agents should evacuate immediately when their identities are exposed.
Lu Yu adjusted his cufflinks and said calmly, "I've been lurking for fifteen years anyway, so I don't mind this one more time."
The evening at Marseille Harbour is shrouded in an orange-red haze.
Li Zheng followed Lu Yu through the busy dock. The salty sea breeze was mixed with the smell of engine oil and fish.
The "Ocean Goddess" is moored at berth No. 7, and the blue United Nations logo on the white hull is particularly dazzling in the sunset.
The boarding procedure this time was suspiciously simple - Lu Yu only presented an electronic pass and there was not even any luggage inspection.
The man who greeted them was a bearded Greek man with three fingers missing on his right hand.
"Mr. Castro."
He greeted Landing Island in broken Chinese, "Your cargo has been loaded according to special standards."
Lu Yu nodded slightly and turned to Li Zheng: "This is Doctor Li, who is responsible for supervising the status of the goods throughout the process."
He specifically emphasized the word "doctor", and Li Zheng immediately understood - this was a cover identity for him.
Their cabin was located on the upper deck and was too spacious to be on a cargo ship. After the first mate left, Lu Yu pulled out a metal detector-like device from his bosom and carefully scanned every corner.
"clean."
He put away his equipment, suddenly grabbed Li Zheng's wrist, and wrote on his palm: "See you at 12:00 PM, C deck."
Li Zheng nodded, and at the same time noticed that there was some black powder left in the cracks of Lu Yu's fingernails - the latest type of explosive component, which he had seen in the police station's bomb disposal team.
The sea surface at midnight is as black as ink.
Li Zheng arrived at the agreed location quietly and found Lu Yu already waiting there, with a tied up and unconscious sailor next to him.
"This is an undercover Interpol agent."
Lu Yu kicked the unconscious man and said, "I noticed his tattoo before I got on the boat."
He squatted down and pulled open the collar of his sailor's shirt, revealing a tiny anchor tattoo just below his collarbone - the logo of Interpol's underwater operations team.
Li Zheng gripped the railing tightly: "What should we do?"
"Follow the rules."
Lu Yu took out his pistol and loaded it, but when he handed it to Li Zheng, he subtly turned the barrel - three and a half turns.
This is the confirmation signal for the police operation codenamed "Blue Shield".
Li Zheng took the gun and instantly understood Lu Yu's intention.
He pretended to check the magazine and found that it was full of blanks. "Brother Yu, do you need to sink the sea?"
He asked loudly, observing his surroundings keenly.
"No, let's do it on deck."
Lu Yu lit a cigarette, his eyes dim under the light, "Let the crew see what happens to traitors."
Li Zheng raised his gun and pointed it at the sailor's temples.
At the moment of pulling the trigger, he deliberately deflected his wrist, and the bullet grazed the opponent's ear and hit the deck.
The hand "fell to the ground" with a sound, but in fact it was just Lu Yu who secretly kicked him in the knee.
“Clean and neat.”
Lu Yu exhaled a smoke ring and waved towards the shadows.
Two masked men immediately appeared and dragged the "corpse" away.
The next morning, an alarm suddenly sounded on the ship's radio.
When Li Zheng rushed onto the deck, he saw a group of sailors gathered at the entrance to cargo hold No. 5, and Lu Yu was standing in the middle of the crowd with a corpse covered with a white cloth at his feet.
"What's going on?"
Li Zheng squeezed to the front row.
Lu Yu lifted a corner of the white cloth - it was the sailor who was "executed" last night. He was faking his death yesterday, but now he was really dead. There was a cut on his neck as thin as a hairline.
"Someone finished off the enemy."
He Lu Yu whispered, and lightly stroked Li Zheng's sleeve with his finger, "He's not one of us."
Cargo hold inspections begin early.
At Lu Yu's insistence, only he and Li Zheng were allowed to enter the core area.
"Look at this."
Lu Yu pretended to check the pressure gauge, but actually pointed to the electronic tag at the bottom of a cylinder. A faint blue light displayed a string of codes: TX-47 - the code name for nerve agents in the United Nations biological and chemical weapons catalog.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Zheng's back.
He was about to speak when the lights in the cargo hold suddenly went out.
In the darkness, Lu Yu suddenly knocked him to the ground, and a bullet flew past their heads.
"Don't move."
Lu Yu whispered in his ear and pulled out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing from his heel. A few seconds later, there was a sound of metal collision and a muffled groan, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
When the lights came back on, Lu Yu was wiping the blade. A man in sailor clothes was lying at his feet, his throat cut precisely.
Lu Yu kicked the corpse and said, "It must be someone from the Viper family."
Li Zheng noticed that the deceased was wearing a silver ring on the little finger of his right hand - exactly the same as the one on Xiao Ye's hand.
This is not someone from Viper, but someone sent by Lord Xiao to monitor them.
The next voyage was fraught with danger.
The next night, Li Zheng was awakened by a strange noise from the cabin door. He fished for the pistol from under his pillow and saw Lu Yu stumbling in, his white shirt mostly stained with blood.
"Medical kit..."
Lu Yu fell to the side of the bed and ripped open his shirt to reveal a deep knife wound between his ribs. "The ship's doctor is from the other side."
Li Zheng immediately got into the state.
Cleaning, suturing, and bandaging, the entire set of movements went smoothly. Lu Yu didn't utter a single groan during the entire process, only the cold sweat on his forehead revealed the pain.
"Why did you risk coming to me?"
Li Zheng cut the sutures, "You can use the ship's communication equipment to call for support."
Lu Yu's pale lips forced a smile: "I only trust you."
