0229 The lair of intelligence traffickers
"It's okay, the scenery along the way is beautiful anyway, thank you for telling me this information. "When Hou Rui was about to end this conversation, he swept the corner of his eyes and suddenly saw two police officers in heavy uniforms also coming to the platform, so in order not to attract the attention of the police officers, and at the same time to let this conversation continue, Hou Rui immediately took the initiative to ask the old man: "Then you, where are you going?"www.biquge.info
"I'm going to Chita to see my daughter, she's been working as a clerk in the Chita tax office for almost 20 years, I really don't know what the state is doing with so many taxes, we don't even have a decent road here. The talkative old man immediately started to grumble......
In this way, Hou Rui and the old man spent the hour casually chatting like other people waiting for the train on the platform, and when an old red train slowly entered the station, Hou Rui asked the old man to buy a ticket with the rubles prepared for him by the ape, and boarded the train with the old man.
After that, in the bumpy ride that lasted for more than ten hours, Hou Rui first shared the remaining little venison with the old man, followed by a beautiful sleep, and finally took some time to learn a few words of commonly used Russian from the old man, and then Hou Rui, who was sitting in the window seat, saw a huge city from a distance, which is Chita, one of the only big cities in Siberia.
"Young man, it looks like we're going to separate, next time if you can go to Imia, remember to come to Old Jacques in Misha Village, and I'll invite you to drink vodka, hahaha, it's all made by me with potatoes, to ensure authenticity." Along the way, I had a good time with Hou Rui, and the old man Jacques sent an invitation to Hou Rui.
"Yes, Uncle Jacques, I'll go if I have the chance. After saying that, Hou Rui nodded at Old Man Jacques, and then he stood up and took his tactical backpack and skis from the luggage rack.
Almost half an hour later, Hou Rui, who was standing on the platform of Chita Railway Station, waved his hand and said goodbye to Uncle Jacques who was gradually walking away, and after the old man could no longer be seen, the smile on the corner of Hou Rui's mouth disappeared immediately, and he carried his things on his back and left the train station and walked towards the continuous residential area in the west of the city.
The cold of the city of Chita is different from that of Dandong and Sinuiju, where the temperature at night is almost minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, so except for the occasional passing car, the streets are covered with snow-white snow and ice, and not even a ghost shadow can be seen.
After spending an hour and 40 minutes, Hou Rui finally left the urban area of Chita and entered the slum with relatively low buildings, where Hou Rui found a quiet corner, took out a satellite phone and dialed the number provided to him by the ape-man.
The phone rang only three times, and a low man answered, and immediately a proficient English sentence came: "Who are you?"
"I'm looking for Ivanovic. Hou Rui replied immediately.
"Who are you, I ask?" but the man on the other end of the line insisted on getting the answer to the question first.
"I'm a friend of the gibbon. Hou Rui understands that if the other party is not cautious enough to be an intelligence dealer, then he must have died for 800 years, so the other party must first determine his identity, which is understandable, so the helpless Hou Rui has no choice but to move out of the ape-man as an introducer.
"Damn, isn't that bastard dead? and he's still getting me in trouble. In an instant, the man on the other side of the phone became furious, and he really didn't know what happened between the ape and him.
"I ......" Hou Ruigang wanted to speak.
"You too, die with that gibbon!" But the man on the other side had already shown signs of hanging up the phone.
"Wait, I'm looking for you to buy something. So Hou Rui could only go straight to the topic and stabilize the other party first.
“…… What are you going to buy? Hurry up, Ivan, I'm very busy. At this moment, the man on the other side of the satellite phone finally revealed his identity, and it turned out that he was the Ivanovich that Hou Rui was looking for, the local intelligence trafficker.
"I'm going to buy a piece of information. ”
"What information. ”
"I'm going to buy a man's whereabouts, and I can pay fifty thousand dollars. ”
“…… Haha, why didn't you say it earlier, business is business, Ivan welcomes all friends who come to do business. Hahahaha" Ivan, who saw the wind and made the rudder, immediately took a 180-degree turn in his attitude, and even put on a pleasant and relaxed feeling in his tone.
"Then my friend Ivan, I'm in Chita now, can we meet? "Now that the other party's appetite has been hounged, Hou Rui should naturally ask to meet, and at the worst Hou Rui, he should find a place for himself to settle down in this city.
"Well...... this"
"Don't worry, I'll go by myself. ”
"Alright then! Come to the bear bar at 1100 Zhukov Street!"
“ok”
Waiting for Hou Rui to put down the satellite phone, he took out the organization's mobile phone again, and called the ape man with the mobile phone, and as soon as the ape man answered Hou Rui, he immediately said: "I have arrived at Chita, I have just contacted Ivan, and I am about to go over to meet him, have you found the trace of the Peacock King?"
"No!" The ape-man replied to Hou Rui without guilt while making a **** ice cream "sizzle walk" sound.
"Hey, did I say you did your best?" Feeling the ape-man's ease, Hou Rui's fire slowly rose again.
"Brother Wild Dog, don't be busy spraying me yet, although I haven't been able to find the Peacock King, I have found another clue. Only then did the relaxed ape-man tell the reason why he was fearless and not afraid of Hou Rui's anger.
"What clues?" Hou Rui's eyebrows couldn't help but raise when he heard this.
"Brother Wild Dog, you told me that the Peacock King and the Koreans are trading nuclear weapons technology, so I paid attention to this information on the dark web, and as a result, I unexpectedly found a high-end weapons trafficking gang operating in Siberia, I thought that since this group of people is in the same area as the Peacock King, then even if they are not a group, they must be business competitors, and they should be familiar with each other, so that Brother Wild Dog, you may find clues from them, and track it to the Peacock King, haha”
The ape-man's tone was full of invitations, but after Hou Rui automatically filtered out the ape-man's subtext, he announced very directly and rudely: "...... If what you say makes sense, then you can send me the other party's news as soon as possible!"
"Okok, I'll send it to your tablet right away, and I also want to remind Brother Wild Dog, you better be careful when you see Ivan, that guy is not a good thing. ”
"You'd better do your thing!" Hou Rui hung up the phone and began to read the information displayed on the tablet as he walked towards the so-called Zhukov Street.
It took Hou Rui a lot of time to find it, and he realized that the bear bar that Ivan was talking about was actually an adult club with neon lights in the shape of fruit girls, but no matter what, Hou Rui also needed Ivan's information as a reference, so he pushed the door and walked in without thinking.
When Hou Rui closed the outer door and pushed open the door of the inner floor, a wave of heat and sour temperature rushed to his face. In an instant, Hou Rui's ski goggles were full of water droplets, and when Hou Rui ripped off the ski goggles, the scene in front of him really opened Hou Rui's eyes;
In the whole hot 4-50 square meter hall, in the middle of the position, the cement floor is surrounded by rocks of different sizes, and several adults hugging the thick logs in the circle are "crackling" and burning violently, around these burning logs, or standing or sitting large groups of men and women are naked, let the sauna like sweat flow down the body, resulting in a pungent smell of sweat in the whole hall, almost smoked Hou Rui.
The light in the whole hall is very dim, except for the flickering light of the central fire, there are only small emergency lights on the four walls that are fainting, so Hou Rui couldn't see which one of the people he was looking for after entering the door, but because the cold air he brought when he opened the door instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the scene, so two shirtless and dangling big men, but holding AK74 assault rifles, immediately greeted him.
"I'm looking for Ivanovich. "It's hot! It's so hot here! There are completely two worlds beyond the two doors, so Hou Rui said to the big man holding the AK, and at the same time unzipped the ski suit, which was to cool himself down at the same time, but also let the other party see that he was really not carrying a firearm.
"Is that the person who just talked to me on the phone?" In the distance, a certain guy sitting on the couch and holding two tall girls suddenly asked Hou Rui from a distance.
"It's me, you can call me a wild dog!" Hou Rui said as he put his tactical backpack, skis and other things to the side of the large row of hangers at the door, and then he slowly walked past the big man holding the AK74 and walked towards the man on the couch at the end of the hall.
Feeling the gaze of a group of sleek men, Hou Rui felt very weird, and he walked to a position 4-5 meters away in front of Ivan, and only then could he barely see through the hazy heat that this guy with a beard was different from other big men with a beard but a mustache.
