Liang Jian: I have a canteen

"Mr. Edogawa, have you already defined the search area?!" Hans's pupils contracted slightly, and then he asked tentatively.

“Hmm,” Xu San pondered for a moment, “The scope is of course the entire oil tanker.”

After a pause, Xu San said again, "If necessary, we can take some special measures."

"What special method?" Hans asked curiously.

"You don't need to know that!" Xu San said, feigning profundity. "Besides, if I told you, these methods would become ineffective."

After saying that, Xu San stood up and said to Hans, "You wait here, I need to go out for a walk too."

Xu San left, leaving Hans somewhat dazed.

He also wanted to find his sister, but just as Xu San had said.

Someone must remain here to wait.

After a while, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour.

Elisa and Phantom Princess have finally returned.

However, only the two of them returned; they did not bring Lisa back with them.

Although he didn't see Lisa, Hans still asked, clinging to a sliver of hope, "Have you found Lisa?"

Elisa shook her head gently, then lit a cigarette.

"Have you found any clues?" Hans continued to ask.

Elisa shook her head again, smoking, her uneasy expression growing even more serious.

"Where is he?" Huanji glanced around but couldn't find any trace of Xu San, so she asked.

“He went to see Lisa too,” Hans said.

"He went in that direction."

"Over there!" Hans pointed in a direction.

"I'll go take a look." Huanji looked in the direction she was pointing, and then left the booth.

After Huanji left, Elisa looked at Hans and asked, "Was it them?"

Hans shook his head. "I don't know."

Huanji and Xu San communicated using special markings, which is why Xu San was able to find Huanji quickly.

Xu San was currently on the deck, enjoying the breeze, showing no signs of being searching for his child. Huan Ji, who knew Xu San well, walked over and asked, "Any more clues?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no!"

"Who is the target?"

"A Japanese man, a fat man!"

"Touji Shinichi?"

"It seems you know!"

"He was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Finance, but he was dismissed from his post for embezzlement. I saw him at the ball just now; if it's him, it's very likely!"

"It seems you didn't protect him just because he's your compatriot."

"You know I'm a ninja, and he has no vested interests with me."

"How much would I have to pay to kill him?"

Huanji extended two fingers.

"Two dollars?" Xu San nodded. "A fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. I didn't expect a high-ranking official to be worth so little. US dollars or Japanese yen? I can pay in cash!"

Xu San said casually, reaching out to take out his money.

“Two small yellow croakers!” Huanji rolled her eyes at Xu San. “Although he no longer holds an official position, his bodyguards are active-duty soldiers. He must be carrying a mission on his way back to Tokyo from Qingdao.”

Xu San stroked his chin. "If it's two small croakers, then the job has to be done cleanly. And all the spoils are mine!"

"No way! The spoils will be split 20/80, you get 20% and I get 80%!"

"Let's rate it!" Xu San said firmly, "and I'll take action too!"

Huanji didn't haggle anymore. "You should know where he lives, right?"

"I know! The passenger cabins are on the third floor, in the superior cabins!" Xu San turned to look at the bright lights in the cabin.

When are we going?

"Wait a little longer!"

"Aren't you afraid that little girl will get hurt?" Huanji asked. (End of Chapter)
