Chapter 273 Mysterious Encounter on the Train
273
Taking advantage of the chaos, Tang Yue used invisibility and boarded the Japanese train without anyone noticing.
As soon as Tang Yue boarded the train, she was captivated by the scene inside. In stark contrast to the simple, practical style of Chinese trains, the ordinary Japanese trains of the 1960s lacked luxurious crystal chandeliers, but the overhead incandescent lights provided a soft, even light, illuminating the entire carriage.
The walls of the carriage are covered with wallpaper with simple geometric patterns and elegant colors, giving people a sense of simplicity without losing style.
The floor is covered with dark gray linen carpet. Although it is not particularly thick, it feels slightly soft when walking on it. The sound of footsteps is well absorbed, making the car relatively quiet.
The seats are made of dark brown artificial leather and look a bit old, but they are well-maintained and have no obvious damage. The seats are spacious and can be sat comfortably. Each seat is equipped with a backrest that can be simply adjusted in angle, but the adjustment range is not large.
On one side of the seat, there is a narrow wooden table. Although the style is ordinary, the surface is wiped very clean. On it is a simple ceramic teacup and a newspaper of the day.
Tang Yue found a window seat and sat down, gazing through the slightly worn but immaculately clean window at the slowly receding platform. She was eager for the Luqiwan police to find the suspect. To her, the more chaotic Japan was, the better.
What she hadn't noticed was that the Nakajima incident had already been noticed by many countries, and the news soon reached China.
Chang Yin and the others arrived at Weicheng and received the news sent by Tang Yue from Battalion Commander Chen Qiao. Because this matter was communicated by the division commanders of both sides, they also knew the content of the news.
Chang Yin was to bring the news back to South Island, and Commander Kang would then decide how to proceed with the next mission. However, just as Chang Yin finished handing over the information with Battalion Commander Chen, Commander Kuang Yingjun summoned the two to his office.
"Report, hello, Commander Kuang!"
"Haha, well done, Captain Chang. Hurry and sit down."
Chang Yin nodded and sat down straight. Master Kuang's face was filled with joy, and Chang Yin felt as if something good had happened. However, he was unfamiliar with Master Kuang and did not ask.
Chen Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Master, what good thing happened?"
Commander Kuang reached out and nodded at Chen Qiao. "You have a sharp eye, boy. I just received news that a Japanese cruise ship docked at the Nakajima Hudi Pier yesterday, and it turned out to be full of dead people."
Chen Qiao's eyes widened. "What's going on? The boat docked on its own without anyone there? Commander, this is too ridiculous. Impossible."
Chen Qiao waved his hands while expressing his opinion. Commander Kuang also found it incredible, but due to the distance, they didn't know the specifics of what was going on. However, this matter was known to all countries, so there was no doubt about it.
"We still don't know what exactly happened on the ship. The Japanese themselves haven't figured it out. But this is not the point." Commander Kuang continued only after seeing the two men staring at him closely.
"I heard the stench coming from the ship is poisonous. Initial speculation is that it's pathogenic bacteria. Anyone who smells it will immediately develop symptoms. There have already been deaths."
"Martial law has been imposed over there."
Chang Yin understood what Master Kuang said. He didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little proud inside. The little girl is really something, she never forgets to stir up trouble wherever she goes. It's obvious that this was the little girl's doing.
No one but her could have landed a cruise ship that size on its own. But the germs on board? Apparently there was a lot they didn't know.
"Captain Chang, what do you think?"
Chen Qiao looked at Chang Yin and asked. He really wanted to learn from him now. This guy always took first place in the national competition every year. Moreover, he was no different from a battle maniac. He was brave in battle. Although they were not in the same military region, Chang Yin's name was well-known to them.
"There's no other information at the moment, so it's hard to tell, but that cruise ship should be Japan's own. They'll have to bear the consequences themselves."
Commander Kuang laughed heartily. "Captain Chang, you're absolutely right. I don't know why they haven't explained this to the international community. I think they must have done something bad in secret, and ended up getting retaliated against by their own people."
Chang Yin simply nodded. Chen Qiao raised a question, "Commander, didn't a cruise ship from Japan come to our side a few days ago? Do you think it could be that ship? However, it doesn't make sense. According to the speed of that cruise ship, it should have arrived in Japan several days ago.
Commander, do you think it is possible?"
This Commander Kuang hadn't expected that he would be so eager to share the news with them right after receiving it. Now that he thought about it, it wasn't impossible. The thought gave Commander Kuang goosebumps all over his body.
He quickly looked up at Chang Yin, "Captain Chang, are your soldiers... still on that ship? If that's the case?"
Chang Yin knew what Commander Kuang was worried about, and he didn't hesitate at all, "Commander Kuang, I think my soldiers are fine. Even if this ship is really that ship, she must be fine."
Chen Qiao couldn't help but slap his thigh excitedly. "Oh, Commander, this seems to make sense. I've seen Captain Xiao Tang with my own eyes. I think maybe this is really related to Captain Xiao Tang."
You see, she was able to gather so much information in such a short time. Maybe those people on the ship..."
Chen Qiao didn't say the rest, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Chang Yin was hard to describe. Just who was leading what kind of troops? Wasn't that a bit too brutal?
Tang Yue had barely sat down when the train slowly started moving. The rhythmic clatter of wheels against rails echoed throughout the carriage. Although the doors were closed at Luqi Bay, the train still stopped at the normal time.
Tang Yue's eyes were still staring out the window when the door connecting their carriage was pushed open with a clang, and a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament walked in.
He was wearing a dark grey Mao suit-style jacket. Although the style was not new, it looked very decent on him. His hair was neatly combed back and his eyes were deep and alert.
Behind him were several burly men, sitting around seemingly casually, but Tang Yue keenly noticed that their eyes were always vigilantly watching their surroundings, and they were obviously bodyguards.
Tang Yue's heart stirred, and curiosity got the better of her. She approached quietly. When she got closer, she found that the man had a small badge on his chest. The pattern on the badge was exactly the symbol of the Hatoyama family.
Something flashed across Tang Yue's eyes. She didn't expect to meet someone related to the Hatoyama family as soon as she got on the train. This might be an opportunity to get to know the Hatoyama family in depth.
Tang Yue found a seat in a corner, but she didn't dare to let her guard down. She carefully observed the passengers around her: there were busy office workers in neat suits, elegant women in traditional kimonos, and a few students carrying backpacks and laughing and playing.
The train sped forward and the scenery outside the window quickly receded, but Tang Yue's thoughts drifted far away. Should she take that man to the bathroom and interrogate him?
Before she could act, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense.
Tang Yue was acutely aware that the air around them seemed to freeze. Suddenly, a group of mysterious men in black burst into the carriage like ghosts. Their pace was rapid, their purpose clear, as they rushed directly towards the man wearing the Hatoyama family crest.
Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat. It looked like something interesting was about to begin. She quickly stepped aside, ready to wait and see what would happen.
The men in black surrounded the man and his bodyguards, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
