Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Chaotic Situation
Yoichi Watanabe tried to restrain his restlessness, and waited anxiously in his office, anxiously waiting for news from New York.
Waiting, for anyone, is usually an ordeal. This is especially true when waiting for an uncertain outcome.
Not long ago, news came from the airport action team that the horizontal wife, Meisha, had been controlled. It put him at ease a little.
Half an hour ago, according to information from an internal source in the S.H.I.E.L.D., Stellar had defected and attempted to take the opportunity to return to the Japanese Black Dragon Society to lurk.
This made Watanabe break out in a cold sweat. He immediately made a decision to get rid of the horizontal stripes.
The New York Action Team had also received his instructions to take out the stripes as soon as they got the treasure map. For the horizontal striped family, Watanabe decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future trouble.
The informants inside S.H.I.E.L.D. do not know the reason for the mutiny, and there is very little information about Mrs. Stried. Therefore, Watanabe decides to have Misha brought back for interrogation to see if he can get valuable information, and then get rid of her. As for the two children, there is naturally no need to keep them.
As for the New York side, Watanabe believes that Hengwen should not have realized it yet, and he already knows about his defection. Therefore, the stripe should also assist the New York Action Group in seizing the treasure map.
Moreover, without defense, it should not be difficult for the action team to get rid of him.
However, if Stria knows about it, then things get tricky. In all likelihood, the stripes will escape, and it will be more difficult for the team to obtain the treasure map.
At this time, Gangcun ran in from outside in a panic, and said in a cold sweat: "Minister, that guy from Wuchuan has messed things up. The woman named Meisha not only killed several people in Wuchuan, but also disappeared. ”
"Yaga!" Watanabe immediately stood up angrily and scolded, "Did this idiot grow up eating? ”
Gangcun lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to speak.
He had a good relationship with Wu Chuan, and thought that it was easy to catch a woman and two children, so he asked Wu Chuan to do it, so that this guy could make a contribution. Unexpectedly, this guy is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose.
"Which two children?" Watanabe asked.
If the two children are still in their hands, then they can be used to blackmail the woman and force her to appear.
"It's gone. Someone is being sent to track it down. Gangcun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported the disappearance of the two children again.
He also received a call from Lidai and got a general understanding of what happened.
"Immediately ask the police to issue an order to assist in the investigation and let the police assist in arresting the three people. Watanabe was worried that the woman named Misa was delivering the message to the horizontal stripes.
The Black Dragon Society is deeply rooted in Japanese society and has great influence in both the political and police circles. In fact, many people believe that the Black Dragon Society is a force supported by the state power department, specializing in doing things that are not suitable for the power department to come forward directly. Therefore, it is not difficult to mobilize the strength of the police.
Obviously, this woman named Meisha already knew about the discovery of the horizontal stripes and knew that her life was in danger, so she killed and fled.
If she sends the news back to the United States, once Stria knows about it, the New York operation will be passive.
After thinking about it, Watanabe added, "We must do our best to catch these three people as quickly as possible." If you resist, you can kill them on the spot. Also, give me a copy of the woman's information."
His intuition told him that this woman named Meisha was not simple. If it was just an ordinary woman, it would be impossible to kill the four of Wuchuan unscathed.
It appears that the information obtained from the S.H.I.E.L.D. informant was not accurate, or that the informant did not know the true situation of the woman.
The night provided the best cover for Mesa.
In order to avoid tracking, she changed cars several times in a row. She knew that the car she snatched from Wu Chuan must have a tracking device, and it would soon be discovered, so she had to be extra cautious.
After arriving at a safe house on the outskirts of Tokyo, she combed through the events of the day in her mind. After confirming that there were no mistakes, we began to prepare.
This safe house is one of Mesa's secrets. From the day she started working for S.H.I.E.L.D., she knew she could face death at any moment.
When she was a child, her father once took her to catch rats in the house. Her father told her that a rat with only one hole would soon be caught. If the rat has several holes, it is more difficult to catch.
When she became an agent, she knew that she had to leave a way out, a place where she could hide herself like mud in the ocean.
Japan is undoubtedly the most suitable place for you, you have the appearance of a Japanese person, you can speak Japanese, and you are familiar with Japanese culture.
In this world, the only people who know this secret are her and her son Ryan. Even Ryan was on a plane to Japan that Meisha told him.
Meisha deliberately kept herself busy, because as soon as she stopped, she couldn't help but think about her two children. Where are they now? Will they be able to find this place? Will they be caught again? If they do, will Ryan give them the address of this place?
She didn't dare to think deeply, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. If those agents find this place, then it means that Ryan and the others must have been caught by them again. In that case, does it still make sense for her to live?
So, she had to keep herself busy, and meaningfully busy.
First, Misa cut her hair into a short ear-length haircut, like the hairstyle that many Japanese housewives have. Then, she dyed her hair black, which is the original Japanese hair color. Next, she changed into more local clothes. In this way, she looks like a native of Japan. In the end, she specially chose a slightly larger satchel and loaded a pistol and a few **s**. At the ankles of each of the two feet, a dagger was hidden.
After all this was done, Maisha drove to a nearby convenience store to buy some food. After eating something casually, he sat quietly on the sofa in the living room and waited.
As the minutes passed, Meisha felt that the waiting time was so long......
Robert Shiller, the New York Police Commissioner, sat in his office with a grim face.
Schiller's phone was already bursting, so he had to unplug the phone line. At the same time, he told the secretary that he would not give any interviews before the press conference.
In a television interview two days earlier, he boasted that New York was the safest of the world's cosmopolitan cities, and that crime rates had been declining every year during his five years in office.
Unexpectedly, just two days later, such a vicious and large-scale shooting incident occurred in broad daylight. This really made him embarrassed.
Schiller has coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security, and helicopters from the New York Police Department have arrived at the scene. He himself was desperate to go to the scene, but was told that some politicians, including the mayor and the speaker, were coming, so he had to wait.
"Damn, these hateful politicians. Don't you know that the most urgent task now is to arrest the criminals?" Schiller scolded inwardly.
However, considering that these guys are in charge of the financial budget and holding their money bags, he does not dare to offend them.
He knew very well that these guys were here to ask the teacher for their crimes, and at the same time, they were also trying to shake off the blame. In addition, he was worried about how to deal with the sharp-tongued reporters in the next press conference.
Thinking of this, he rubbed his temples vigorously. What a headache!
When Laulin walked into the monitoring room of the S.H.I.E.L.D. operations command center, Wetz was having lunch with several deputy commissioners. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
"Report!" Laulin exclaimed, "news from New York." The trio were attacked near Central Park as they returned down Fifth Avenue after ending their deal with the Klober family, killing Michael instantly. It was initially found that it was the hands of some Filipinos. ”
A deputy chief asked, "What about the other two operatives?"
Laurin replied: "Julian and Martin tried to flee in their cars, and the Filipinos were still chasing them at gunpoint. After receiving the report, the New York Police Department also dispatched the police. That's all there is to it. ”
After listening to Laurin's report, Weitz asked, "Is there any news from Tokyo?"
Laulin glanced at Wetz, hesitated, and said, "Hayden is still tracking the news in real time, and I will notify her to report it immediately." ”
"No need. Weitz saw the hesitation in Laurin's eyes and knew that his subordinate was hiding something.
He stood up, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and headed outside. Laurin's followed.
"Director, Mesa has lost contact. Laulin whispered, "As soon as they got off the plane, they were controlled. On the way, Meisha kills the Black Dragon Society agents who captured her, and then runs away in a car. At present, she is secretly wanted by the Japanese side. ”
Judging from the current situation, Meisha should have realized that she was in danger, so she fled halfway. It stands to reason that the Japanese shouldn't be a killer when they treat the wife of the horizontal stripes? It's strange here, after all, the horizontal stripes are about to abscond back. ”
"You're quite right. As he walked, Weitz said, "Then there is only one possibility, the matter of the horizontal stripes being rebelled by us has been known by the Japanese Black Dragon Society." Therefore, they chose to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, wanting to kill Meisa, and wait until Hengwen returned to Japan, and then wait for the opportunity to kill Hengmu. ”
"So, is it possible that the Japanese didn't find out that Striated was rebelled, but only found that there was something wrong with Mesa, and they were worried that Meisha was an undercover agent that we arranged to declare in Striae, so we wanted to get rid of Mesa. Laurin said.
"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. However, now it seems that this is unlikely. Weitz looked worried, and then said:
"If that's the case, there's no need for the Japanese to be in such a hurry, they can wait for Hengwen to come back, tell Hengwen first, and then let Hengwen attack the killer Meisa, in order to test Hengwen's loyalty. ”
"The reason why I am doing this now is that I must have confirmed the identity of the horizontal stripes, and I also know that Meisha is our person, so I do it so neatly and directly. ”
"Then why are the Japanese in such a hurry to kill Meisa? Even if they find out that Hengwen has rebelled, they can wait until Hengwen returns to Japan and then get rid of them together. Laulin then asked.
"I can't answer the question you asked. However, from the fact that the Japanese moved so quickly, the above conclusions can be deduced. And, after Mesa escaped, why didn't she contact us? This means that Mesa already knows that Stria and she have been exposed. And not many people know their identities, only people from the top of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency. Weitz sighed and said:
So, Mesa must now suspect that someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. had betrayed them. It may even be speculated that S.H.I.E.L.D. deliberately betrayed them in order to make some kind of deal with the Japanese. In either case, Mesa will not be contacting us anytime soon. ”
"My concern is that Maisha has already passed the message to Striae, so it will be a bit of a problem. If Yokostria had known that the Japanese had found out about his defection, he might not have sneaked back to Japan. Even if I go back, I won't be in contact with the Japanese Black Dragon Society. Moreover, perhaps, the Black Dragon Society's action team in New York has received the news and will kill the horizontal stripe directly in New York. ”
Weitz paused for a moment and then said, "Anyway, as long as the Japanese can get their hands on the treasure map." As for how we get the relevant news after the Japanese Black Dragon Society cracks the treasure map, we can think of other ways. If the Black Dragon Society can't even get the treasure map this time, then our treasure hunt plan may have to think of another way. ”
"Look, who leaked the news of Stria and Mesa?" asked Laurin cautiously. He is an officer of the Operations Service and is always most concerned about what to do next.
"You can possibly, I can't do it, it's possible for the guys sitting in the surveillance room, it's possible for Hayden. Therefore, this matter is not in a hurry. A fox's tail always sticks out, doesn't it?"
Weitz said, walking to the public coffee machine, leaving Laurin, stunned.
Being in the center of the storm is a terrible danger.
