Chapter 2225: The Water Houseboat
There are so many labels in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, that every visitor leaves silently counting the days of return. Endless shuttle bicycles, waterways and cruise ships, large and small museums, weird-smelling coffee houses, crowded places, fragrant restaurants, and classical melodies everywhere. Amsterdam is a kaleidoscope that spins in a dazzling array of colours, day and night.
No matter what the weather is, just passing by the local flower market will brighten up the mood. This is the world's only floating flower market, on the row of boathouses along the canal, you can see a variety of potted plants, flower seeds, dried flowers, of course, the protagonist must be tulips, all kinds of colors compete with each other, fragrant, make people feel happy.
All kinds of boats shuttle by on the clear river, and there are many chatting people sitting on the bank, a can of beer, a cigarette, and never stopping. The jingle of bicycle bells plucked the strings of the city, and the people on the bikes were well-dressed and uninhibited, but they were all in order, except in the middle of the night, when a drunken and reckless man rode past and crashed headfirst on a telephone pole.
There are plenty of houseboats crisscrossing the canals, with a variety of exterior appearances, but very comfortable interiors. In fact, the bottom of these "boats" is actually firmly connected to the river bank with steel cables, and they cannot move freely. Usually it was the residence of raunchy artists and fashionable young people. But this group of people who came this time has nothing to do with art at all, and it is true that these people are unkempt. It's just that each of them looks a little unapproachable, led by a young Asian, although he seems to be relatively kind.
The houseboat had been rented a long time ago, and Lin Rui and the others got on the boat and met the crystal who was drinking coffee by the flower pot at the bow of the boat.
"Here's the hiding place you found for us?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. The owner of the boat here is a friend of my father's and is absolutely safe and secure. Much safer than anywhere else in town. Crystal said slowly, "You can get on the boat, I have some news to tell you." ”
"You're only a day ahead of us. Crazy Horse shrugged.
"Yes, but even if I'm not here, I'm better informed than you. Crystal smiled.
Lin Rui knew that Aladdin, a big arms dealer, had eyeliner everywhere, so he sat down and said, "What information did you get?"
Crystal looked at them and said, "In the Netherlands, there are many things that are very tolerant. A lot of things that are illegal in the country are legal here. Therefore, although the control of guns here is quite strict, you can still go through legal channels if you want to get weapons. However, people who need to go through unconventional channels and secretly get weapons usually find my father's agent here. As you may not know, my father used to have a monopoly on all private arms deals in the Netherlands. So ......"
"Lucifer's team, like us, can't bring weapons into the Netherlands, after all, border security is a hassle. But to protect the shadow brokers, they must be armed. Lin Rui nodded, "The only way is to solve it nearby here." So you've got their news. ”
Crystal smiled slightly, "You see, I just know you're a smart guy. The day before yesterday, someone asked my father's agent to buy a batch of weapons, all of which were short individual self-defense weapons, as well as body armor and some military equipment. Generally, people who buy these things, for safety reasons, will ask us to deliver them. But these buyers asked for a pick-up in person. Obviously they don't want to know where they are. ”
"Is it from Lucifer's team?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"They were smart enough to use a local middleman to trade. But my people aren't vegetarians either, with trackers on the devices they need. Crystal smiled slightly, "I gave you such a big piece of good news when you just came, how can you thank me?"
"How do you want to thank you? Besides, you have such a powerful father, is there anything missing?" Lin Rui smiled bitterly.
Crystal smiled and said, "I don't lack anything, but I'd love to see you guys mess up." Otherwise, take off your clothes and stand in a shop window on the side of the street for the night. I'll tell you the news. ”
Lin Rui turned his head and looked at the street on the riverbank, first stunned, and then couldn't help but talk.
The most famous feature of the Netherlands is these beautiful women standing in the window on the street. At the beginning of the lanterns, the window inlaid with pink lamps flashed with ambiguous light. Women in specialty businesses will stand in the shop windows, scratching their heads and posing to attract customers. And this kind of business is completely legal here. This joke made Lin Rui cry and laugh. He could only wave his hand and say, "I'll forget it, my figure is too ordinary." Crazy Horse on you. ”
"Me?" said Crazy Horse, stunned.
"Of course it's you, you're covered in tendon meat, thin but not woody, fat but not greasy, and you're as interesting as a bodybuilder. If you don't get on, let whoever gets on. Do you want Sergei, a scrawny guy, to get on it?" Lin Rui glared deliberately.
Crystal giggled, then shook her head and said, "Alright, alright, I'm not going to tease you." Seriously, I'm going to be able to help you get here. She had a note in her finger and placed it on the table.
Lin Rui understands what she means, in the industry of arms business, selling customer information has always been taboo. In fact, it is not easy for crystals to help them do this.
He nodded, and took the note, "Thank you, Mr. Aladdin, for help." ”
"Alright, that's done, I have to go. Crystal smiled and turned, walked ashore from the houseboat, and disappeared under the cover of a few of his men.
"It seems that we owe them a favor again. Shogan sighed in a low voice.
"yes, this news is so important to us. Otherwise, we'll have to lock down Lucifer's team in Amsterdam, and we're going to have to look around the city for the exact location? Lin Rui handed the note in his hand to Jiang An.
Jiang Kishi nodded, entered the cabin, and then turned on the computer to find the coordinates. In a low voice, "Found it, it seems to be near a hospital." ”
"Hospital?" Lin Rui frowned. "What's going on, is the shadow broker hiding in a hospital?"
"Unlikely, hospitals are public places and a lot of people come and go. They don't choose such a location to hide. Jiang An frowned, "Could it be that the crystal's intelligence is inaccurate, or are they playing a golden cicada shell?"
