Chapter 023: Poseidon's Journey

The departure list has been decided: Shi Hu, Michael and Paul.

In addition, there is Eva, the female companion who makes Shi Hu not lonely, a blonde girl with all kinds of amorous feelings, who does not participate in any personal affairs of her employer, but you can do anything to her...... And Michelle, Paul's old indecency is reinterpreted, this guy soaked in a Ferrari.

The Ferrari F360 parked at the door all day is the old man's car, the Michelle, well-behaved and cute, like a ripe peach, a girl who can pinch out water...... Shi Hu said maliciously: "She is younger than your daughter, you are a sixty-year-old guy, can you still do it?" ”

"Nonsense!" Paul shook his head again and again, emphasizing: "First of all, I am fifty-seven, and the engine has been used for a while, but it is still very strong after refueling; Secondly, Michelle is twenty-six, we are just twice as different, it is true love. Eventually, my daughter was in her early twenties, and she lived with her mother. ”

"The world is going down." Shi Hu shook his head and stepped forward to wrap his arms around the blonde's waist, and she hugged his arms to his chest, and the two mountain peaks wrapped around him.

"You're not too ...... Be right, master. Michael smiled, pitying himself for being a translator, with no privileges and no sister-in-law.

They take a car to the airport and fly to New York.

It also doesn't stop, connecting flights from New York and then flying to Spain. When leaving the country, Shi Hu looked in the mirror, the beard glued to his face was quite normal, and his dress was not strange...... He passed through strict security checks and boarded the plane smoothly, of course, in Zhang Qiang's American identity.

It was another flight that turned the night upside down, and finally landed in Barcelona.

Staying in a local hotel, a long-distance flight and jet lag reversed, everyone was so tired that they fell asleep in bed. I don't know how long later, it was finally dawn outside, and I got up to eat. Departing from Barcelona, they will take a luxury cruise on the Mediterranean for a week trip.

Before boarding, they will be greeted by a special person.

A somewhat polite man in a spotless suit and a pair of glasses shook hands with Shi Hu: "Brian, your receptionist." ”

"Tiger." Shi Hu said.

From the outside, I always think that Brian should be a bank, or a financial merchant who deals in securities, but his identity is a black market manager, commonly known as an "intermediary". Paul has said privately that in addition to money laundering, he can also contact killers, human trafficking, and other shady activities.

's elegant appearance has deceived many people.

"Mr. Shi, if you are ready, we can board the ship in advance." Brian said politely that he knew Shi Hu's identity.

Shi Tong, a relative of a Chinese official, bought an American fake identity "Zhang Qiang" and now wants to wash away the $35 million in stolen money he has embezzled through the international black market. Correspondingly, Brian was able to get a commission in it, so the God he served was the customer.

As for whether "Shitong" is real? Brian didn't suspect that it was introduced by Paul, an old customer. He will first assume that human nature is good, let alone deceive people. In addition to serious tourists, how many others are really shaking the bottom out of this boat? There is no need to pursue it.

They boarded the ship at the port of Barcelona.

The Poseidon is the main cruise ship of the shipping company (fictional) in the Mediterranean, with a displacement of 110,000 tons, a length of more than 300 meters, and a maximum capacity of 3,500 guests and 1,500 crew members. It is twice as large as the Titanic, and its five-star service and luxury are not far behind.

Normal checked baggage, important items are carried by Michael. He seemed cautious, usually he was a bastard who ate and waited for death, and he couldn't get on the stage, but now it was different, the stairs in front of him seemed to be a road to the dark world, and he had the excitement of pilgrimage.

Shi Hu felt his strangeness and touched it: "What are you in a daze?" ”

Michael came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm wondering what kind of world it will be." ”

"The world of normal people." Paul said disapprerovingly, "Among the 3,500 tourists, there are only a few dozen VVIPs (super VIPs), and the purpose is the same as ours. Isn't it normal that the remaining 3,000 or so tourists are all for vacation and relaxation? ”

The so-called mixed with normal people, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Landing through the connection is the fifth deck, where the captain and crew of the cruise ship welcome them, and the fifth deck is also a world of flowers, with a variety of luxury shops, restaurants, and cafes everywhere, and the experience is no less than that of the five-star hotels in Las Vegas.

Shi Hu is also the one who has lived in the suites of all the five-star hotels in the casino, and this kind of scene is ordinary to him, at most curious that a cruise ship can be transformed into such a luxurious ...... After a brief tour, the VVIPs went back to their rooms. The suites are unified on the eighth deck, and two rooms are booked.

Brian introduced Shi Hu: "There are many entertainment activities on board, there are two casinos, the larger one is open to all customers, mostly for entertainment; The small one is dedicated to VVIP, on the ninth floor. If you are looking for a thrilling experience, you can find plenty of ...... there. Homosexuals. ”

Shihu Khan: "Actually, in China, it's also called 'friend'. ”

"I'm sorry, it's the first time I've hosted a Chinese guest." Brian said with a smile, dissolving the embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'll call you again if I need to." Shi Hu said to him.

Brian nodded: "Okay, there is a safety drill in the afternoon, everyone will participate, and there will be a banquet for the shipowner in the evening, and Mr. and your friends are also welcome to attend." ”

……

Ordinary tourists attend the captain's reception, while the super VIP is taken care of by the owner. The owner of the ship here is not necessarily the owner of the cruise ship, but more likely the organizer of the event, the largest banker. is usually a man who is stained in both black and white, has a certain influence, and can be covered.

There were not many people at the banquet, only about twenty tables.

Because some people don't necessarily come on board to play - if you just launder money, you don't need to do anything more. If it is an item transaction, such as a batch of "blood diamonds" that need to be appraised in value, a customer will come on board, the shipowner will be responsible for the safety, and a helicopter will be provided to and from the safe country after the transaction.

Shi Hu and other five people at a table, meticulous waiters poured wine for them, the brands are all first-class wineries in France, and they are still very good vintages. The meals are also the most exquisite, with caviar flown in from Russia, the best foie gras from France, and truffles at prices comparable to gold.

If you don't have some financial resources and confidence, you can't afford to play at all. Shi Hu took a sip of wine and looked around, there were a group of customers in formal dresses, and they all brought interpreters with them, and some people had more than one interpreter. Depending on the location of the guest, the host will also provide a special translation service.

Paul said quietly: "The direction of your back, the second table, is a wealthy businessman in the former Soviet Union, who resells national assets, and has so much money that there is nowhere to spend it; The Middle Easterners at the table next to him may be waiting for a new identity after many Iraqi officials fled with money during the recent US-Iraq war. ”

"You know so much." Shi Hu didn't look back, rude.

"I'll have to find a few people with the financial resources to get you to choose the right target." Paul said. He was enthusiastic because Shi Hu's record affected his earnings.

"There will always be fish." Shi Hu raised his glass and touched Eva, the woman didn't care, she just played her role well, and got a lot of money after the end.

The guests did not wait long, and the owner quickly appeared.

He is a middle-aged white man who speaks English and introduces himself as John Smith. As soon as Shi Hu heard it, he knew that it was a fake name that could no longer be faked, and its effect was the same as the Chinese name "Zhang San". But everyone didn't mind, John Smith gave a speech, and everyone enjoyed the trip.

"It's not ordinary people who can be shipowners." Paul knows a lot, "The intelligence agencies of certain countries will also cooperate with them selectively. ”

"Oh?" Shi Hu was surprised, black and white penetrated?

"It's very common, for example, that the shipowner will cooperate with the need for counter-terrorism. Correspondingly, these national organizations will turn a blind eye to them. ”

John Smith smiled and greeted some people, he could call many people by name, even Shi Hu's side, and also chatted a few words. It feels very kind, but it also understands your details...... It's really not an ordinary person. In the end, he politely said goodbye and left.

Paul said: "The welcome session is over, and now you can move freely, and you want to go to the world of normal people, or the unique life here, anytime, anywhere." ”

"Look at the casino." Shi Hu said, after all, it is the primary purpose.

"Of course, I wouldn't recommend you to buy a girl first." Remembering his American humor, Paul added: "If you want, there are millions, many of them are Eastern European girls, Belarusian, Ukrainian, with first-class figures, trained and virgin women pay more." ”

"Wow." Michael was stunned.

"Translator, let's go investigate first." Shi Hu reminded Michael, who was drooling, to put on the thin waist of his female companion, and the purpose of many guests was the same: the casino.
