Chapter 34: The Storm

"Boss Jiang, this is not like you, who swore that he would never come forward to testify against Tsavo, but now he wants to join forces with me to bring Tsavo to justice, this change is too fast. Jiang Yitong covered his mouth, his eyes full of smiles.

"This time, that time. You can't say that. Jiang Peng suddenly felt that his old face couldn't hold up, so he deliberately raised his face and said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you. Jiang Yitong put away her smile and became serious again, she took out a black camera the size of a baby's fist from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Peng.

"It's a miniature camera that you carry with you and press the upper shutter to take a picture, solar-powered and doesn't need to be recharged. After that, if you see any evidence, you can record it directly. ”

"I'm afraid the evidence alone is not enough, what else do we need to do?" Jiang Peng asked.

"Hmm......" Jiang Yitong pondered for a moment and said, "Can you be sure that the things on the Tsavo ship are wildlife products?"

"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure. Jiang Peng thought for a while and continued: "I've been to the warehouse, and I haven't seen the containers loaded. ”

"You can't judge by smell alone, if you hit a snake seven inches, you will be killed, and you can't beat the snake with grass. It would be nice if it was sure to be a wildlife product. Through the relationship of our newspaper, we can contact the coast guard, and tomorrow we can even directly send the coast guard to search the ship. ”

"But if you can't find something, the consequences can be very serious. Tsavo also has a certain reputation in Thai political circles, and if he doesn't have something, he will not only be alert, but will also be labeled as a malicious search.

What's more, you're in a very dangerous position. Jiang Yitong analyzed seriously.

"Is there any other way?" Jiang Peng asked with a frown.

The second method is more conservative, but it will be a bigger test for you. That is, you go to sea with the ship, and once the ship goes to sea, then the cargo must be on board. Along the way, you are responsible for collecting incriminating evidence, and we should be able to contact the Italian side through the Thai Coast Guard, and when the ship arrives in Italy, we will get the stolen goods. Jiang Yitong said slowly.

"It's just that this method is dangerous for you, as you just said, Tsavo has mercenaries under his command, and if they find out, the sea will be vast, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Jiang Peng drank the last sip of tea and let out a long breath.

"It's the second way, I'm willing to try. ”

"......" Jiang Yitong was a little hesitant, to be honest, the second method has too many variables, it is too dangerous, the vast sea, what happened, Jiang Yitong couldn't receive the news at the first time.

"Well, don't be in a hurry to say yes. I'll make an appointment with someone, it's from the coast guard, let's wait and meet for a while, and then talk about this matter in detail, after all, there are too many things involved, and if there is no support from the police, I don't recommend you to do this kind of work similar to undercover. I'm worried about your safety. ”

Jiang Peng nodded, what Jiang Yitong said made sense, this matter is not a movie, and there can be no personal heroism. If you are not careful, your life will be affected.

"Let's talk as we go. Jiang Yitong drank the last sip of coffee, stood up, and kept fiddling with his mobile phone, probably to contact the mysterious coast guard.

"Good. Jiang Peng nodded, paid the bill, and walked with Jiang Yitong in the direction of the gate.

"It's raining, did you bring an umbrella?" Jiang Peng opened the glass door and said casually.

As soon as he opened the door, a strong wind came to his face, and the huge wind directly blew Jiang Peng back a step, and his clothes flew wildly.

This was followed by dense raindrops.

"I'll go!" Jiang Peng hurriedly closed the glass door, and in just a few seconds, his clothes were wet.

"Why is it blowing so much wind and raining so hard?" Fortunately, Jiang Yitong was behind Jiang Peng, so he was not caught in the rain.

"What's going on?" Jiang Peng frowned, opened a crack in the door slightly, and immediately heard the sound of the whirring wind.

The wind with the rain went down the crack in the door and desperately drilled into the coffee house.

"It's raining too much. Jiang Yitong looked at the swaying branches on the side of the road outside the window and said with some concern.

"Wait a minute, let's see if the rain stops. The waiter kindly came over and handed Jiang Peng a clean towel, and Jiang Peng was wiping his body.

"That's all there is to it. The two of them had to order some drinks and light meals in the coffee house, and quietly waited for the storm to end.

But after waiting for more than an hour, the rain did not subside in the slightest, and it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

"No, I can't wait any longer, Xiaohu is going to get out of school, such a big wind and rain, I have to pick her up. Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Jiang Peng couldn't sit still.

"This, okay......" Jiang Yitong didn't want to wait any longer.

"The parking lot is not far from here, it rains a little, three minutes should, you can run over. Jiang Peng looked at the jeep parked in the parking lot not far away, and gestured the distance.

Fortunately, there are umbrellas in the coffee house, which is more user-friendly.

Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong pushed open the door one by one, and rushed into the rain against the strong wind.

"Stand behind me. Holding an umbrella, Jiang Peng pulled Jiang Yitong behind him and shouted loudly.

The storm was so violent that in just a few hours, the drainage system in Dochai City was completely paralyzed, and the rain was already up to the ankles.

The two are still in the most prosperous area of the city center, and Jiang Peng roughly estimated that such precipitation, if placed in Chinatown, would at least be below his knees.

It's afternoon, but it's overcast and there's not a ray of sunshine.

Although Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong have umbrellas, under such a violent storm, it is useless at all.

After a while, Jiang Peng's clothes were soaked, Jiang Yitong was even worse, she was wearing high heels, she walked staggeringly, soaking wet, and the wet clothes clinging to her body outlined her figure, but Jiang Peng had no time to care about it now.

"Oops. When the wind hit, Jiang Yitong screamed, the whole person lost his balance, and the umbrella in his hand was directly blown away by the strong wind, and he was about to fall into the water.

A strong arm wrapped around Jiang Yitong's waist and took her into his arms.

"What's wrong, are you okay?" Jiang Peng held an umbrella and shouted loudly.

"I tripped on the heel of my shoe just now, it's okay, let's go. Being hugged by Jiang Peng like in his arms, Jiang Yitong's heart beat wildly.

The woman's reserve made her immediately break free from Jiang Peng's embrace.

But Jiang Yitong said that it was okay, but he limped when he walked, obviously because he had broken his foot just now.

"It's too slow, you're holding an umbrella. "The situation is urgent, and Jiang Yitong's umbrella has long been blown away. Moreover, one more second of stay will require one more second of rainstorm.

Jiang Peng handed the umbrella to Jiang Yitong, leaned over, and a princess hugged her, holding her in her hand.

"Ah, what are you doing. Jiang Yitong screamed and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Peng's neck.

"What are you doing, what are you walking, what are you doing? Jiang Peng took a deep breath, spread his legs, and headed straight for the jeep.

It took less than a minute for Jiang Peng to come to the jeep with Jiang Yitong in his arms, put Jiang Yitong down, Jiang Peng opened the car door, let her sit in the passenger seat, closed the door, and then walked to the other side and got into the car.

"Are your feet okay?" panting slightly, Jiang Peng started the jeep, listened to the dense raindrops, and asked Jiang Yitong.

"It's okay...... "Jiang Yitong tried to move his ankle, but he screamed in pain.

"And said it was fine. Jiang Peng opened the drawer, rummaged for a while, took out a bottle of safflower oil, and handed it to Jiang Yitong. "Here, rub it yourself, it will be better. ”

Jiang Yitong took the safflower oil, said "oh", and asked with some surprise: "You still have this kind of thing in the car." ”

Jiang Peng glanced at her and said, "If it's okay, you have to get on the boat, run up and down, fall a few times, naturally you have to take it, quickly wipe it, otherwise it will be swollen for a while." ”

Jiang Peng turned on the heater and immediately put on gear to drive.

It was raining heavily, and even if the wipers kept blowing, the visibility was very low.

Jiang Peng is now a little glad that he is driving a jeep. Because from time to time on the surrounding roads, there are cars parked in the middle of the road with double flashes, obviously the chassis is too low, and the car is flooded.

Jiang Peng's jeep has a high chassis, so there is no problem for the time being.

"I'll send you back first. Jiang Peng looked at the bad road conditions and said with a frown.

"No, I don't. Jiang Yitong looked at the time, she knew that Jiang Xiaohu was about to get out of school, Jiang Peng would send herself back, and it would definitely be too late to pick up Jiang Xiaohu.

"Let's go pick up Xiaohu first, she's about to get out of school, and it's raining so hard that it's not safe. Jiang Peng glanced at Jiang Yitong and nodded.

"Alright then, sit tight. With that, he drove in the direction of the school.

The rain was very heavy, and the road conditions were very bad, Jiang Peng's speed was not fast, and when he arrived at Jiang Xiaohu School, he had been out of school for nearly half an hour.

"Xiaohu, hey, where are you? Can you hear me?" Jiang Xiaohu's school is located relatively high, and there is not so much water, Jiang Peng called Jiang Xiaohu, but the signal seems to have been affected by the heavy rain, which is not very good.

The phone couldn't get through, Jiang Peng hung up the phone, looked at the signal of the mobile phone less than two bars, and his mood slowly became impatient.

"Don't worry, the terrain here is relatively high, do you want to go down and ask the school?" Jiang Yitong looked at Jiang Peng, who was restless and kept making calls, and suggested.

Jiang Peng thought about it, instead of sitting here, it was better to go down and ask.

He nodded and said, "I'll go down and ask, you wait for me in the car." ”

Jiang Yitong said "En".

Jiang Peng picked up the umbrella and opened the car door, braved the wind and rain, and walked towards the campus.

Because of the heavy rain, it was dark very early in Duochai City today, and with the wind and rain, Jiang Yitong couldn't see what was happening outside the window at all through the glass.

The dense raindrops hit the jeep, Jiang Peng walked for a while, Jiang Yitong was a little flustered, took out his mobile phone, and immediately news popped up.

"Typhoon Morakot made landfall in Dochai City ahead of schedule, accompanied by a typhoon of magnitude 8-9 and heavy rainfall, please stay at home as much as possible and do not go out. ”

"The typhoon is coming early?" Jiang Yitong frowned, clicked on the news, and read it carefully.

"Many low-lying areas in Duochai City have been flooded, I remember ......" Jiang Yitong flipped through the map to find the geographical location of the Chinatown area, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Oh no, Chinatown is in a low-lying area. Jiang Yitong looked at the map, and the geographical location of Chinatown was the low-lying land marked in red.

"Boom. A muffled sound came, Jiang Yitong was startled, and when she was hesitating whether to get out of the car to take a look, the car door suddenly opened.
