Chapter 266 Tripartite Meeting
This episode made many people nervous, including Ye Lan. Although she was not familiar with the business, she thought that the other party had sent someone from Romania to Hancheng to make a small move, and it was obvious that they were holding back. The good news was that Scott did not obtain Shi Hao's security information.
As lunchtime approached, Ye Lan invited Cui Jian, Zhao Ai, Yi Yi and Duanmu to have lunch together. In response to Ye Lan's concerns, Cui Jian expressed his opinion: "The Shi Hao project is not dangerous. From many details, it can be seen that the criminals do not have technical control, cannot infiltrate our senior management, and cannot obtain useful information. At most, they can use mobile phone positioning, find license plates and other means. I think Diudiu will handle it well. To put it bluntly, if Shi Hao is just thrown into any apartment, it is basically impossible for the criminals to find Shi Hao in a big city with tens of millions of people."
Cui Jian: "The more troublesome thing is that Shi Hao has to accept judicial questioning, which depends on how long it takes. I think Diudiu will definitely control the time and take Shi Hao away immediately after completing the questioning. In addition, with Yiyi's help, they may not be able to find Shi Hao."
Yiyi poured cold water on him: "That's not the case. Scott moved his computer this morning, inserted a USB drive, and the other party's technicians broke through the three firewalls I set up in three minutes. I'm not sure if their technology is better than mine, but their equipment is definitely better than mine."
Cui Jian didn't understand so he asked: "They are all computers, so are the advantages of the equipment so obvious?"
Yiyi said, "Computers are simply about calculations. It would take a human a long time to multiply a five-digit number, but a computer only needs a blink of an eye. I know that a supercomputer can calculate 5 times faster than the equipment I have. When I upload a Trojan, it's 10%, 15%, 100%, and finally 100%. The supercomputer sends the Trojan at 100%, 100%, and %. To give a more accurate example, my computer is like walking, and the supercomputer is at the speed of sound."
Zhao Ai said: "From what you said, the gangsters who are looking for Shi Hao have official backgrounds."
Duanmu corrected: "It is a background of the powerful, not an official background, it's just that they can make use of official resources. Cui Jian, I agree with your analysis today. Let me ask you a question: you seldom analyze in your daily life, and even if you do, you just talk about it casually. Why did you talk about it in such detail today? Did you find that you have a brain?" He couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
Cui Jian was speechless: "You childish ghost. Yiyi, can you track down the members of the Thunder Squad?"
Yiyi shook her head. "After the 12 of them entered the country, they booked six rooms in three hotels, but they did not check in, and I did not find their car. However, I did find some videos of what appeared to be the Thunder Squad besieging the Italian Mafia estate three years ago."
Yiyi searched for a while, played the video, and turned the screen to everyone. The core of the video was a four-story building on a lawn, covering an area of more than 1,500 square meters. A hundred meters away from the building was a forest, as if a piece of land had been opened in the forest.
Yiyi said: "The surveillance camera is located on the bell tower at the top of the church on the side of the main building. The time is 4:30 in the afternoon. Let's start."
12 people were divided into four groups, wearing death masks, bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets, and emerged from the woods at the same time. Using the front of the main building as a reference, the four teams rushed towards the main building from four directions: 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 1 o'clock and o'clock.
On the lawn of the manor, the adults were chatting, barbecuing and drinking beer, and the children were running. At that moment, the battle began.
The criminals advanced while firing, and after eliminating the targets outside, they opened fire on the four-story building. Some people inside the building broke the glass and fought back with pistols and shotguns, but either they did not fire, or they fired one bullet and were knocked down by the dense firepower.
After approaching the building, two teams were on guard, while the other two teams threw incendiary bombs into the rooms on the first floor. Then they stood guard outside the enclosure and shot anyone who showed their head. The brick-and-wood structure burned quickly, with thick smoke billowing. From time to time, people jumped down from the third and fourth floors, and they were all shot dead by the criminals.
The next hour was nothing but a burning house and four groups of armed criminals standing still. Then, three death criminals walked out of the camera area and three cars drove in to pick up everyone.
After the video ended, everyone was silent for a long time, eating lunch. Zhao Ai asked, "Cui Jian, Duanmu, if it were you, how would you escape?"
Cui Jian thought for a while and replied: "There is no way to escape."
Duanmu said: "Organize the living forces as soon as possible, and try to break out. Judging from their counterattack, there are at least ten or more victims."
Cui Jian said: "The equipment is too different." The victim only had a pistol and a shotgun. Not to mention the bulletproof vest, the pistol may not be able to penetrate the military helmet. Although the shotgun is powerful, its range is limited. Of course, even if the pistol cannot penetrate the helmet, as long as it hits directly, the person will basically lose his combat ability.
Duanmu thought for a while and found no solution. He raised his glass and said, "Then we can only wish Diudiu and Zhenzhen good luck."
Everyone raised their glasses. Yiyi's phone vibrated. She didn't have time to drink lemonade. She took out her phone to check the message. She looked up at everyone and said in shock, "Shi Hao is wanted by the South Korean police for suspected intentional homicide."
Yiyi opened the computer and operated it for a while, and a video appeared. This was a Hancheng alley. The camera on the top captured a man in a white shirt approaching a person who had fallen to the ground with a pistol in his hand. The person who fell kept begging for mercy, and the man in the white shirt fired two shots and killed him.
After the murder, the man in white shirt looked up at the surveillance camera, put away his gun and left, but accidentally dropped his passport.
The time was 6:30 yesterday evening.
After a while of searching, Hancheng police found the passport of a German-Korean named Shi Hao at the scene. He flew from Kyoto to Hancheng at 2 pm yesterday, went through customs alone at Hancheng Airport, and disappeared from surveillance in a taxi.
Ye Lan looked at Cui Jian for confirmation, and Cui Jian said, "It's fake. How could someone as important as Shi Hao take a civil aviation flight? This is a countermeasure taken by the criminals to use Shi Hao's abnormal means to enter South Korea. First, to prevent Shi Hao from getting judicial protection. Second, to put pressure on Dayin Security. Our company cannot help a fugitive suspect. As long as Shi Hao is arrested, there is a high probability that he will die in the process of being detained."
Cui Jian: "The camera happened to capture Shi Hao killing someone in broad daylight, without even wearing a mask. Shi Hao also happened to have lost his passport. All this shows that someone framed Shi Hao."
Ye Lan asked: "Who is the victim?"
Cui Jian said: "I don't know, maybe it was some unlucky guy."
Duanmu said: "You forgot a little. The criminals are worried that Shi Hao will be questioned by the judiciary, so they first discredit Shi Hao. Once Shi Hao shows up, he will definitely be arrested by the police. In this way, even if Shi Hao is besieged by criminals, Diudiu will have to consider whether he should seek help from the police."
Ye Lan looked at Cui Jian and asked, "Is there anyone who looks like this?"
Cui Jian said: "It doesn't have to be exactly like him, or we can make a silicon mask based on Shi Hao's appearance. The key is to make Shi Hao a major suspect in the crime."
Duanmu noticed that the two people were asking and answering each other, and when he interrupted and made comments, they didn't even raise their eyelids.
Ye Lan asked: "What should we do now?"
Cui Jian: "Let Yiyi contact Diudiu to explain the situation. Even if Diudiu insists, the others should have a chance to choose. To be honest, this situation is basically unsolvable. The other party has controlled us legally, militarily, and technically. The only disadvantage is the lack of intelligence and the inability to find Shi Hao's hiding place. I suggest surrendering, handing Shi Hao over to the police on the grounds that he is a suspect, and withdrawing from the project yourself."
Ye Lan nodded: "I'll call Manager Li." Then she left the table and went to make a phone call.
Duanmu approached Cui Jian and asked, "Do you think Manager Li can convince Diudiu?" Cui Jian: "I don't know."
Duanmu: "Will they give up Shi Hao?"
Cui Jian: "How would I know? You have so many fucking problems."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Duanmu raised his glass and drank water: Anyone who has a girlfriend should be hanged.
……
Cui Jian no longer paid attention to Shi Hao's situation, and no one reported to him.
At 10 pm on Wednesday, Lao Tu got into a car on the roadside to change his clothes. Cui Jian, who had already changed his equipment, looked at Lao Tu twice and said, "He really has a cultured vibe." Cui Jian has traveled extensively for ten years and has come into contact with many Seven Killers or Hellhounds, and knows most of them.
Although I saw Lao Tu last time, he was wearing a mask at that time.
Lao Tu is 10 years old this year. He served for years. When he was , he had health problems and could no longer carry out high-intensity physical training and work, so he retired. After leaving Qi Sha, Lao Tu worked as an assistant teacher at Hancheng Medical University under the introduction of a junior student at the university. He devoted himself to the study of medical skills and is now a professor at the university.
For example, Cui Jian likes to cook, and Lao Tu has been interested in medicine since he was a child. He is very grateful for life that he can still do the work he loves after retirement.
Shengzi was driving, and Cui Jian in the back seat handed two pistols to Lao Tu. Lao Tu took the pistols and sighed: "I haven't touched a gun for many years." After that, he put away the pistols and magazines, then took the night vision goggles and hung them on his forehead.
As a follower, Cui Jian's main weapon today is an M4 equipped with a silencer. After hearing what Lao Tu said, Cui Jian said, "Use a gun to kill people, and use a scalpel to save people."
Lao Tu said, "No, I don't have the physical strength to complete an ordinary operation. Not to mention the operation, I would be out of breath like a cow if I climbed ten floors in one breath. I am mainly engaged in academic research now."
The two did not have much friendship, strictly speaking, they only came into contact because Cui Jian was injured. However, there was no generation gap between them.
Forty minutes later, the car arrived at Huayang Primary School.
Shengzi had already picked out a spot, drove the car into the alley, and parked it next to the school wall, out of sight of the residents. Shengzi put on a large mask and got out of the car, checked that there were no pedestrians around, and waved as he left.
Cui Jian and Lao Tu came out of the car together. Cui Jian squatted down, Lao Tu stepped on Cui Jian's hands, Cui Jian stood up and pushed Lao Tu upwards. Lao Tu's endurance was not good, but his explosive power and skills were acceptable, and he climbed over the three-meter-high wall. Cui Jian sprinted a few steps and jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall, and easily climbed over. Shengzi did not get in the car, but went to a nearby surveillance point.
Over the wall is a two-meter-high toilet with a cement slab roof. In front of the toilet is a twenty-meter corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a back door without a door. Lao Tu walked along the wall with a pistol in hand, and walked into the back door, which led to the stairs going up. Lao Tu and Cui Jian did not go up the stairs, but turned right and took two steps. They looked up and saw the sign of Class 2, Grade 1, and entered the classroom.
The classroom was empty. The desks, chairs, benches, and even the blackboard had been removed, and even the glass on the windows had been taken away. It looked like a bare-bones building that had been left unfinished.
Wearing night vision goggles, Lao Tu looked around and found there was no place to sit. He couldn't help but complain: "Is the budget so tight now?"
Cui Jian replied: "I haven't received a salary for two years."
The two smiled and waited for about ten minutes. There was a light cough outside, and Lao Tu said: "Cough." Even the connection code was so down-to-earth.
The person who came was Bai Qi. He rarely wore a black sweater and looked a few years younger. Bai Qi also wore night vision goggles. When he saw the two people dressed as Qi Sha, he couldn't help but complain: "Hancheng is so big, can't you find a reliable place? You have to bring your own night vision goggles. I'm curious, why do you have to bring your own night vision goggles. What I want to ask now is, why didn't you remind me to bring my own chair and tea?"
Lao Tu apologized, "Sorry, we are short on time and we are just inexperienced." This was the truth. Cui Jian and Sheng Zi had never done anything like this before. They thought: Isn't it just chatting? Just having a mouth is enough. Does it matter whether you can see or not?
Bai Qi said helplessly: "It's okay, we can talk about things even if we stand in the dark." This was the most bizarre meeting place he had ever seen.
Another cough was heard. The person who came was Duanmu. He was also wearing a black suit and a big black mask. After seeing the three people, he complained: "You, Qi Sha, are an international organization that has been famous all over the world for decades. How can you invite guests to such a high-end place? Why don't you find a hilltop and hide in the grass? Also, negotiating with night vision goggles? I'm also convinced."
The apology was half-bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Why did they choose Huayang Primary School? Because Shengzi didn't speak Korean well, and the local Cui Jian didn't care, so Shengzi was responsible for finding a negotiation location. The Qisha Hancheng safe house had been in preparation but never built, so where could she find a suitable location? Besides, she couldn't take people to the safe house.
So Shengzi searched the Internet and found the news about Huayang District. She found that Huayang Primary School was a really good place, and most importantly, it was free. You know, she has only received a grant of 3 US dollars so far, which was allocated by Shuangtougou from his living expenses. Why not give more? First, the landlord had no surplus food. Second, the transaction could only be done in cash, and it would be difficult to pass the customs with a bunch of US dollars.
Shengzi temporarily took Cui Jian to check Huayang Primary School with a drone. She thought that Cui Jian had ten years of work experience, and it must be good if he was satisfied. How could she know that Cui Jian was actually a big fisherman. Cui Jian thought that since Shengzi chose Huayang Primary School, Huayang Primary School must be good. Both parties only considered safety issues, and did not consider the environment and service issues at all.
Cui Jian felt that they were too pretentious and that it was enough for them to just talk.
Bai Qi: "Let's get to the point. Big guy, you do the body search." Bai Qi opened his hands.
There is no such link? Cui Jian went up to search him anyway. Bai Qi had a turned-off cell phone, a pistol, several magazines and a USB flash drive. Then it was Duanmu. In addition to a cell phone, a pistol and magazines, he also had a box of cigars and a lighter. No problem.
Cui Jian handed the assault rifle to Lao Tu and accepted a body search, and finally Duanmu searched Lao Tu himself.
Bai Qi said, "Very good, we have taken a huge step forward." Qi Sha was not worried about the conversation being recorded, but Bai Qi and Duanmu were different, so Bai Qi took the initiative to ask Cui Jian to search him. If you want to take something, give it first.
The three of them sat on the ground. The follower Cui Jian leaned against the wall, glancing out the window from time to time while paying attention to the movements of Duanmu and Bai Qi.
