Concession Pier.
The dock was packed with people, all of whom were there to pick up their relatives and friends.
Some people gathered in groups of three or four to chat, but those who could chat together were all people of the same class. Those who dressed simply gathered together, those who dressed gorgeously gathered together, and those who dressed elegantly gathered together.
Class and rank are like an invisible mountain that always stands in people's hearts, making it impossible for people from two classes to cross it.
"Peanuts, melon seeds, selling peanuts and melon seeds——"
"Candied fruit, sugar-roasted chestnuts..."
"Cigarettes, selling cigarettes, Sanpaotai, Hardman, Daqianmen, Baihe, Laodao, Xiannv, Meili, everything you can think of."
The vendors squatted in front of their stalls and shouted loudly.
Zhang Yunhe stood on a high-rise building 300 meters away from the dock and observed the situation on the dock with a military telescope.
After some observation, it turned out to be as expected that there were many spies hidden among the vendors on the dock and the people welcoming relatives and friends. There were people from the Special High Technology Bureau, the Blue Shirts Society, and probably also members of the underground party.
Basically, no matter what secrets the Blue Shirts Society has in Songhu Station, they cannot be hidden from the underground party. After the underground party knows about Liu Xiande's incident, they will definitely take action to protect him.
At this time, two cars and three large iron-clad police cars drove into the dock.
"Squeak--" As the brakes were applied, the car tires rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound and emitting a burnt smell. Several cars stopped at the open space at the dock.
A uniformed sheriff stepped out of the front car. He adjusted his wide-brimmed hat, tugged at his uniform, which was restrained by his belt, and shouted to the police officers getting out of the car, "Assemble! Assemble quickly!"
The patrolmen jumped out of the police cars one by one and lined up with rifles on their backs. The noise was so loud that people who came to the dock to greet their relatives and friends and vendors all turned their heads to watch, attracting everyone's attention.
"Listen up, everyone! The cruise ship will be arriving soon. Those disembarking will be either wealthy or prominent figures, so there must be no mistakes! Okay, begin standing guard. From the ship's ladder to the dock entrance, one person every five meters. Listen to my commands: Stand at attention, at ease, turn left and right, and march in step..."
Under the instructions of the sheriff, the patrolmen quickly found their positions according to the instructions. Starting from the place where the ships disembarked at the dock and all the way to the dock gate, there was a patrolman standing guard on each side every five meters or so.
In the crowd, Mishima Yumafu, the captain of the Special High Section's Second Operations Team, saw this and cursed under his breath, "Baga, how could this happen? Why are the police here?"
A nearby spy dressed in a suit and posing as a civilian whispered, "Captain Mishima, could it be that the police received the information and are here to protect the target?"
"Impossible, how could the people in the police station get such information? Besides, what does the target person have to do with them? Do they have to offend us?" Sandayou, the groom, shook his head and said.
The spy next to him whispered, "Let's not talk about whether the police station has received the news. Even if they are not here to protect the target person, if they are just standing guard here, we can't do anything. Can we arrest someone in front of them?"
Mishima Yumafu was very upset. The intervention of the concession police had caused the operation to be hindered and interfered with to the greatest extent. It was impossible for them to openly clash with the police station in the concession, let alone fire at the police.
After some thought, Mishima Yumafu quickly made a decision and told his agents, "Leave a few behind, and the rest of you retreat to the street outside the dock. Once we confirm the identity of the target person, we'll arrest them as soon as the family of three walks out of the dock. Tell the others to be quick and decisive when arresting them, and don't waste time!"
"Hi!"
Among another group of people welcoming relatives and friends, Chen Gongde, the first action team leader of the Blue Shirts Society, was stunned when he saw the scene of the policemen.
"Fuck, what's going on? Why are people from the police station here?" A Blue Shirts Society agent next to Chen Gongde muttered in a low voice.
Chen Gongde came back to his senses and said with a serious face: "Things have changed, and I don't know whether it is good or bad!"
The spy next to him whispered, "Captain, I think the arrival of the police is good for us. At least the Japanese spies won't dare to arrest people openly on the dock. Once the target person leaves the dock, it depends on which side finds him first!"
"And I think the target person should first go to the concession to find a hotel to stay in. Inside the concession, the Japanese have no greater advantage than us!"
Chen Gongde thought for a moment and immediately said, "Go outside and find a public phone booth on the street. Call the stationmaster and report the situation. Tell him to send more people to the hotels in the concession to stake out the check-in counters. If you hear anyone checking in using the target person's name, call and report immediately!"
"The rest of my brothers and I will keep watch here. If we find the target and confirm their identity, we will send people to follow them all the way until we find their whereabouts, or intercept them halfway if we find an opportunity!"
"Yes!"
On a tall building in the distance, Zhang Yunhe used a telescope to observe that after the police officers entered the dock, the spies hidden in the crowd indeed took action.
"Hehe, now the people from the police station have arrived, and I have asked Liu Xiande and his family of three to get off the boat separately. In the absence of photos, I want to see how both of you can confirm the identity of the target!" Zhang Yunhe muttered in a low voice.
A quarter of an hour later, a huge ship shadow appeared on the river in the distance.
Hearing the whistle, Zhang Yunhe turned his head and saw the huge shadow of the ship. He immediately observed with a military telescope and found that the ship was indeed the Ziyun cruise ship.
As the Ziyun cruise ship appeared on the river and headed towards the pier, the pier suddenly became lively, and soon many people who came to pick up their relatives and friends cheered with excitement.
As the cruise ship got closer to the dock, the spies from several parties became more and more nervous, and everyone was on high alert.
Fifteen minutes later, the cruise ship finally docked.
Before the ladder was lowered, the passengers were already standing at the side of the ship with their luggage waiting to disembark. Some people in the crowd on the dock would wave and cheer loudly when they saw their relatives on the ship.
As the ladder was lowered, passengers began to disembark one by one, and relatives and friends on the dock crowded forward.
"Dad, why do we have to get off the boat first and Mom has to get off later?" the son asked, holding Liu Xiande's hand.
Liu Xiande, feeling a little nervous at this moment, whispered, "Mom still has some things to take care of. She will get off the boat when she's done. After we get off the boat, we'll leave first and Mom will meet up with us. Remember to call Uncle Huang when you see him later, okay?"
