Chapter 10 Section five

This is a really disgusting guy.Yoshio Kenno thought. In the hot summer, he was wearing a suit and tie, and he was accompanied by a woman.This was too much for Kenno to bear. There was no woman beside Katano. The living crew of "Gubei Maru" came, including the little boy Hiroyuki.But there are only three waitresses here.Perhaps it was because of Jin that everyone was apprehensive, and Jin sat between Shiba Genjiro and Bao Mu Yishan.Although he had given up on Jin, but seeing her sitting next to Sipo, Kenno felt angry. Sibo took advantage of him as an interpreter to get close to Jin.

Katano was starting to get restless. Longing for a woman, Katano was tormented by this longing. This is in a tavern in Otaru. It was past noon when we arrived in Otaru.It has been six days since we left Kesennuma Port.Haven't touched a woman in six days.Wanted to come to the tavern tonight, but there aren't enough women here. The man sitting near the table is about thirty years old, and next to him is a beautiful waitress in her early twenties.The man's hand was on her thigh. "Beast", Kenno cursed in his heart. Katano drank his whiskey sullenly. The tavern was full of people.

The man stood up to go to the toilet; Katano noticed he was tall.The waitress was about to take him out and walked in front of him.When Kenno waited for the man to pass by, he stretched out a leg quietly. The man was suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. "What do you want to do?" When the man stood up, Katano deliberately turned his face away. "Don't do something stupid!" The waitress screamed. "What did I do, you bastard." Jianye turned around and roared angrily, "Tell me, what do you want to do." Katano stood up suddenly, trying to grab the man's chest.

The man grabbed Kenno's hand, but let it go quickly. "Sorry." bow your head. "I'm sorry, it's over. Hey, what do you want to do, you, what do you mean..." "Okay, Katano." Baomu Yishan held down Katano who was jumping a few feet high. "It's this guy..." "Okay, shut up and have a drink." Then, Bao Mu turned to face the man, intending to apologize to him. "Nine times out of ten, it's definitely Katano's fault." Bao Mu thought in his heart. "Hey--" Bao Mu felt that the man looked very familiar.

"It's wrapped wood." "You are Uchimura." The two suddenly cried out in surprise. "haven't seen you for a long time." "Why? Came here." The man's name was Uchimura Ryuta, and he was a friend of Hakugi Fisheries University. "You're still insured..." "Quit." Uchimura whispered to Bao Mu, "I have something to say. Please go outside." "Ok." Baomu and Neicun had disappeared for six or seven years. Baomu entrusts Jin and Guangxing to Dongze. "Do you want to fight him?" When going out, Bao Mu said to Jian Ye with a smile.

"That guy was the main force in the boxing department in college." Katano wrinkled his nose after hearing this. Baomu and Uchimura walked out of the tavern.While walking and chatting on the street, I entered a small restaurant in a nearby street. "Are you still working on tramps?" After the wine was served, Uchimura asked. "I've been doing it all the time." Bao Mu replied. "I want to discuss something with you." Uchimura said in a low voice. "If I can." "It's actually a small thing." Uchimura works for Showa Marine Fire Co., Ltd.He told Bao Mu that he came to Otaru to investigate something. After arriving here, he has been looking for his target, and he followed him to the tavern tonight.Uchimura said the man's name was Uematsu Kaichi.

Uematsu holds a Class A ship captain's license and a Class B ship's second-class engineer's license.He has been working at Haishang Yuanyang Co., Ltd. since six years ago.Is a very experienced sailor. Now the insurance company suspects that he is defrauding insurance money. Offshore ocean-going companies are also worth noting.In September five years ago, this ocean-going company bought an old 250-ton ship, which was used by the ocean-going fishing industry.Soon, Ocean Ocean Company sold it to a Philippine shipping company for 90 million yen. It was Uematsu who brought the ship home.

In Southeast Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean coast, old Japanese ships are sold at high prices.Therefore, there are many brokers who buy and sell old ships. Uematsu set off from Shimizu Port with a crew of sixty. Including various miscellaneous expenses, the ship's damage insurance is a total of 100 million yen.It was insured at the Japanese agency of Lloyd's Insurance Company of the United Kingdom. Therefore, Lloyd was very nervous. Ocean Ocean Company bought the ship from the owner for 27 million yuan, which is the usual price.Half a month later, it was sold to a middleman for 37 million yen, and this person sold it to another middleman for 47 million yen.

As a result, the price of the ship rose to 70 million yen when the ocean company bought it back, and the ocean company sold it to the Philippines with an additional 20 million yen. In other words, this ship worth 27 million was insured at Lloyd's for 100 million yen. If you want to get the huge amount in the change, you have to sink the ship on the way back.The goal of Ocean Ocean Company is this insurance premium, and after the ship sinks, it will be able to obtain nearly 70 million windfall profits from the 100 million yen.The Philippine shipping company that bought the ship for 90 million yen only signed the contract on the name. It is impossible for them to buy an old ship at such a high price.

Things turned out just as Lloyd feared. The ship sank in the Bashi Strait. It is said that the Bashi Strait is the graveyard of ships since ancient times.Although the ship sank, Uematsu and the others were rescued while drifting and returned home safely. However, according to the investigation, neither the ocean-going company nor the shipping company has found enough evidence to charge them, and the shipping company has no bad records in the past. Lloyd investigated the Bash Strait again, but still found nothing, so he had to believe what Uematsu said and admitted that the ship had indeed hit a rock and sank.Although there is no material to prove that this was an accident, there is not enough material to prove that it was not.

As a result, Lloyd had no choice but to pay the insurance money. Two years ago, Offshore Ocean Company bought another old ship with a capacity of 500 tons. The seller was an Indonesian shipping company. This was a cargo ship. Yen sold to Indonesian shipping companies. But this voyage was not an empty ship, but a full load of construction laminates purchased by an Indonesian company in Tokyo and sailed to Indonesia.Laminates, of course, have an export license and are purchased from normal channels. This time, Ocean Ocean Company was insured by a Japanese insurance company. The insurance method this time is a total loss insurance for the ship and its cargo. The total amount is 190 million yen, 50 million yen for the ship, and 140 million yen for its cargo. The insurance company also made preparations this time, and they requested the Coast Guard to monitor them.Even if the ship sinks, the ocean-going company will not get much money.This time only 15 million yen was added and sold to Indonesia. If the ship is intentionally sunk, the cargo must first be transferred to other ships in order to minimize losses. So there seems to be no reason why offshore companies would let their ships sink. The ship of the Coast Guard was also dispatched. The surveillance ship followed at a distance of about fifteen miles.The actions on the boat ahead can sometimes be seen with the naked eye.They are also monitoring with radar to see if the cargo is diverted to other ships. However, the ship sank. The districts have also continuously dispatched patrol boats for vigilance. Arriving in Tosa, the fire engulfed the ship, and when the surveillance patrol boat quickly arrived, the ship had sunk. A dozen pieces of cargo drifted away downstream. The crew jumped into the lifeboats and were all safe and sound. This time the captain is Uematsu again, and the crew is the same as last time, only four new crew members have been added. The Coast Guard believes it was an accidental disaster. A fire in the engine room caused the ship to sink.The surveillance boat saw only fire. As a result, the insurance company had to pay the insurance money. "And this time," Uchimura's voice trembled, "Shanghai Ocean Company is going to swindle insurance money again." "Bought another old boat?" "I bought it. It's called 'Eisheng Maru'. I bought it from Hokshin Shipping in Niigata 30 months ago. The price is 30 million yen." "It's old, that boat." Bao Mu looked at the wine glass. The 999-type is a cargo ship built 17 or 18 years ago. The stern is a turbine-type ship, which can hold 999 tons to 1,000 tons of cargo. "What about the seller?" "The bus ship in Manila." "It's a bus..." Bus ships are notorious in the maritime world.There are many old Japanese ships that are about to sink in Africa and the Mediterranean, most of which use the name Dabus. "Also, a fourth-rate company in Manila purchased a thousand tons of kelp roots, which were also installed on 'Rongsheng Pills'..." "Kelp root?" Baomu nodded. Bao Mu seemed to realize something at once, but this feeling disappeared soon. Kelp root is a raw material for making gastrointestinal medicine and health care medicine. It is in great demand in China and the price is also very high.One ton is 700,000 yen, and one thousand tons is 700 million yen. "700 million yen!" Bao Mu looked at Nei Cun. "The selling price of 'Eisheng Maru' is 40 million yen, the insurance premium is 50 million yen, the kelp root is 700 million yen, and the insurance premium for various miscellaneous expenses is 100 million yen, the total is 850 million yen Tens of millions of yen in insurance premiums..." "Which company did you insure?" "our company." "Knowing their intentions, why accept it?" Baomu is smoking a cigarette. "In order to accept the challenge. The insurance industry established the Far East Investigation Team FEPT to deal with ocean-going companies, and we distributed the 850 million insurance premiums, and each company bought 100 million yen in bonds. Because a company does not have Possibly 850 million yen. Lloyd's is most eager to accept this challenge, and they are eager to beat the ocean-going companies." "That's it..." "Judging from the previous two times, the 'Eisheng Maru' may sink this time. The captain, chief engineer and crew are all the original crew." "yes?" "This time, we are planning to cooperate with the Coast Guard. Not only that, Lloyd's Insurance Company has also hired a detective ship to track the 'Eisheng Maru' outside Japan's territorial waters. We must defeat the ocean company." "Detective ship, isn't that too exaggerated?" "Defeating the ocean-going company can also warn other companies that do this. If the ocean-going company keeps doing this, other companies will follow suit. If we beat the ocean-going company, other companies will be afraid." "So I sent you to do it." "Yes. 'Eisheng Maru' arrived in Otaru last night, and will start loading kelp roots tomorrow morning. It will sail to Manila in the evening. Order me to monitor them until sailing." Uchimura dipped his finger in the water on the table and drew a map. "It's been a long time since I saw this habitual action of yours." "This is not a joke." "Okay," Bao Mu drank the wine in his glass. "But, don't you feel too worried?" "how?" "The ship sank during the surveillance of the patrol boat last time. Did the cargo also sink?" "That's the problem." The ship was loaded at Harumi Wharf last time. Since then, surveillance has been carried out. The patrol boats first monitored with the naked eye, and later with radar. No transfer of cargo to other ships was found.This is very clear. But in reality, the cargo was diverted to other ships.Because they have to, otherwise why sink the ship.Some method must have been used to make it invisible to the radar. "They will use the same method this time." Uchimura explained. "Maybe it really was a fire." "No." Uchimura shook his head, "The insurance company thinks it was intentional." "Based on feeling..." Baomu remained silent. "Then what clue did you catch?" "Nothing..." Uchimura shook his head, his voice was very low: "I saw you, and then I thought you could save me. You are a person who takes the sea as his home." "Is the sea your home?..." For some reason, Bao Mu suddenly thought of Jin's naked body.
