Clone Octopus

Chapter 6 Suzuka Maru
Shen Rui grew up by the sea, and likes everything related to the sea, as well as the unknown and mysterious events in the world, and spends a lot of energy on researching it.

The Suzuka Maru incident happened to happen in Bohai City, where Shen Rui lived, so Shen Rui, an amateur in mysticism and oceanography, knew something about it.

"If it is really the Suzuka Maru, then this matter will be interesting." Shen Rui said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the Suzuka Maru is an RB merchant ship, which departed from Bohai Port before the end of World War II. Went to RB Yokohama, encountered a typhoon not long after going out to sea, and sank in the East China Sea.”

Ma San was taken aback, "So it's a sunken ship? What are these RB people looking for?"

Shen Rui said: "After the failure of the Pacific War that year, RB already knew that it was doomed, so it tried its best to send the gold and silver treasures searched in China to RB's mainland. The Suzuka Maru was suspected to be a ship that transported gold back then. I remember seeing an introduction in some magazine.”

"Maybe these RB people want to salvage the gold on the ship. Unfortunately, it's been too long, and I can't remember all the details. I'll talk about it when I go back and search."

Ma San's eyes lit up, "Gold!? No wonder the RB guy asked me to take down the trawl net, saying that he wanted to bring some underwater equipment, and asked me if I was familiar with the undercurrents nearby. If it wasn't for diving operations, where would they use it?" You know this."

Shen Rui asked: "Then did you agree to them?"

Ma San shook his head, "I said to think about it for two days."

……

After separating from Ma San, Shen Rui returned home with three big crabs and a half-pound wild yellow croaker in his hand.

Nowadays, Shen Rui will give part of what he harvests in the sea to his family every day. Of course, good things must be supplied at home first. Unfortunately, Shen Rui's sister Shen Qiu doesn't usually come home. There are only three members of the Shen family, so they can eat as much as they want. Not much.

Putting the catch in the kitchen, Shen Rui went to the second floor to check the information.

"My boy, a catty of crab can be sold for more than 100 yuan, plus this half catty of wild yellow croaker, which costs about 500 yuan, it would be great to sell it. Let's buy some small fish and shrimp to eat. It can save a lot of money." Shen Rui's mother muttered.

Shen Rui's father, Shen Shi, was boiling a pot of rice wine. Hearing this, he said: "Come on, this is also a child's filial piety. The old Li's next door is entertaining guests today. I think the yellow flowers he bought are only about seven or eight taels in size, and they are cultivated." Yes, why don't you send them the fish."

"Really? I'll take a look."

Shen Rui's mother picked up the wild yellow croaker and went to the next door. After a while, she came back with two small yellow croakers, and some shelled oysters.

"I don't want it. I have to take the old Li's. He even said that he would treat you to a drink another day." Shen Rui's mother said.

Shen Rui's father smiled slightly and said, "He should treat me to a drink and place a half-pound yellow croaker on the table. That would be considered honorable."

People here in the Bohai Sea are very particular about not having a dinner without fish. There must always be a big fish on the table to support the scene, and there are many foodies on the beach. Farmed fish will not look good when put on the table. Only wild fish can be dignified. Shen Rui’s fish is half a pound. The wild yellow flowers in the house will definitely add a lot of color to tonight's banquet at the Li family next door.

Yellow croaker is a small fish and cannot grow too big. Yellow croaker weighing one and a half catties is already top-notch, and you can’t buy it even if you want to.

Don't look at my parents complaining about Shen Rui's inability to live all day long. In fact, the happiness is hidden in my heart. The neighbor's family treats people and wants to get a good fish. If they want to find a few good wild crabs, who do they look for?Of course it was the Shen family.

Ever since Shen Rui started to go fishing every day, the Shen family has been flourishing in the local area, and the neighbors who meet each other are not accompanied by smiling faces, even the big shipowners like Ma San on the pier, they all know Shen Rui is a good player in this line of work. It doesn't look like there are many catches in a net every day, and all of them are high-quality goods. Even a big iron-hulled boat may not be able to pick out better catches than Shen Rui.

Naturally, Shen Rui doesn't care about the opinions of his neighbors. He is opening his notebook and concentrating on looking up information about the Suzuka Maru. Even when his mother asked him to go down for dinner, he casually picked up a bowl of oyster and egg noodles and returned to his room. .

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Shen Rui finally understood the ins and outs of the Suzuka Maru.

This is a [-]-ton freight merchant ship, which belongs to RB Suzuka Co., Ltd., and this enterprise has an inexplicable connection with the RB Military Department during World War II.

It is certain that the Suzuka Maru sank in the East China Sea. The only thing that is uncertain is what kind of cargo the ship was carrying at the time. It needed to set sail secretly at midnight. As a result, it encountered a typhoon before dawn and sank directly.

Nowadays, the Internet is highly developed, and there are forums established by occultists to discuss various mysterious events, called the Exploration Forum.

Naturally, Shen Rui is also one of the members of the Exploration Forum, and his rank is not low, second only to the senior members of the Veteran Members. Most of the information about the Suzuka Maru is found in this forum.

The most common saying is to transport gold, because at that time RB had already fought home and was almost unable to uncover the pot. The soldiers at the lower level were still high-spirited, but the higher-ups knew that sooner or later they would lose to the Americans, so more than one ship set sail from China. , to transport the gold and silver treasures to the mainland of RB, these are all available information.

The more sensational statement is to transport biological and chemical weapons. At that time, the RB Kwantung Army had a bacterial warfare unit in Northeast China. These biological and chemical weapons were transported back to the mainland to fight against the Americans at the last moment.

The convenience brought by the development of the Internet also has a problem, that is, the information explosion. Shen Rui has found a lot of information about the Suzuka Maru, and he must distinguish by himself which information is reliable and which is just nonsense from netizens.

It was already late at night, Shen Rui turned off the computer and lay on the bed thinking.

Generally speaking, it is a high probability event that the Suzuka Maru loaded a large amount of gold. Some awesome netizens even consulted the historical data of the RB War Archives and found that the Suzuka Maru contained four tons of gold.

Four tons of gold?

Not grams, nor kilograms, but tons!A full four tons of gold!
Thinking of this, Shen Rui couldn't help but feel excited. With such wealth lying quietly in the depths of the ocean, who wouldn't want to take it for himself?
In the past, Shen Rui had nothing to do with the sunken ship, but now it is different, Shen Rui has Xiao Ba, as long as he knows where the sunken ship is, Shen Rui can manipulate Xiao Ba to fish out those shiny gold from the sea!
"The key is to know the location of the sunken ship." Shen Rui turned over and said to himself.

……

During the excited night, he didn't sleep much. Xiaoba and Shen Rui had a spiritual connection, and hinted several times that Shen Rui wanted to absorb some electricity, but Shen Rui ignored him.

After eating more than 200 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, Xiao Ba only grew to [-] meters, and he didn't look like he would continue to grow up. This made Shen Rui slightly dissatisfied. He originally hoped that Xiao Ba could become the legendary giant sea monster , the kind of slap to kill a humpback whale, now it seems that the hope is getting slimmer, maybe Xiaoba can only grow so big.

Early the next morning, Shen Rui found Ma San on the pier.

"Third brother, we have to take this job." Shen Rui said in a deep voice.

"Us?" Ma San was curious about Shen Rui's words.

"That's right, it's a very important matter, and I'm going to board the boat this time." Shen Rui nodded and said in a low voice.
