Chapter 383: Boarding the ship

National Day to go back to my hometown, come back to the daughter-in-law to be hospitalized, there is a small surgery to do, it is estimated that there is half a month to a month can not code words, ants can only rely on saving manuscripts, so now I can only two more per day, please understand!

Ask for subscriptions, monthly passes, and recommendations!

***************

People don't make trouble for you, they have already given you face, and they still want people to help, don't dream!

Thinking about the gangsters in the country and the sins done by politicians, Howard can only sigh, now they are in the Naples area, let alone the cooperation of the local police, and they don't even dare to show their identities.

This damn task, this damn humiliation.

But what can be done? This case, but the above appointed him to handle it, and it is obvious that his superiors are under pressure from the domestic government and those bigwigs.

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts case took place in the United States, and the FBI was originally responsible for it, but now the auction of the stolen antiques is in Europe.

This made it very difficult for the FBI in China to deal with it, so they had to contact the CIA to arrange for it, and the normal workflow for such a thing was to contact Interpol.

But the bigwigs in China obviously don't trust those Interpol, so they will directly find someone to ask the CIA to help.

If it involves terrorist bombers, or intelligence gathering against hostile countries, Howard can be said to be proficient in searching for stolen antiques. And it was also to Naples, the birthplace of the world-famous gang@gang, which was and is a place where underground antiques trade was and is rampant to investigate this case.

This made Howard feel like he was being weighed on a heavy shoulder!

If this case is handled well, then what awaits him in the future is to be added to the rank of knight. If it doesn't work well, it will be miserable.

Not to mention going back to the bureau to sit on the cold bench in the future, it is possible that even if you are sent to Alaska to guard the radar station.

What the hell, those damn guys, why did they get into such trouble, and finally let Lao Tzu wipe his ass?

The thought of having to handle such a case in such a mixed place, Howard couldn't help but want to explode.

Because this case is just too tricky. And the FBI stupid guys are really incompetent, and it's been a few months since the theft of the museum, but they still don't have any clues.

Although many people in the United States have watched CNN's live news. thought that the case was done by a gangster in Boston, but Howard and many insiders knew that that guy was simply a Boston police officer to prevaricate the pressure. It's just an unlucky ghost.

And that so-called mastermind behind the scenes to the end. is also a state of not seeing people alive and dead without seeing corpses, and those antiques that are rumored to have been stolen by him have not shown up until now.

It was originally a mess, but now after coming to Naples, it is even more clueless.

After all, in the past, they specialized in intelligence gathering, counter-espionage, and anti-violence and terrorism work. And now they have come to such a strange city as Naples, and there is no familiar party to lead the way. How can they solve such a case?

"Mike, how's the intelligence going? Hasn't that ship been dropped yet? ”

Coming here in a state of smearing, Howard thought for several days, and could only start from the cruise ship that was about to hold an auction.

However, the cruise ship has not been seen in the port of Naples until now.

Mike also shook his head, there were still two days to go until the auction was held, but they had tried their best to find out where the ship was now, which also gave him a lot of headaches, not to mention that there were so many troublemakers now.

"Leave the ship alone, we monitor the emails of a lot of rich guys who come to the auction anyway, and before the auction takes place, those guys will definitely send them the exact address of the cruise ship and let them board the ship there. Now what we have to worry about is that those troublemakers, MI5 is involved, the famous treasure hunters in China, I have seen no less than 20 batches, and there are many underworld @ Taoists who have a reward for the 100 million US dollars, and there are even many guys who are holding the purpose of robbing while the fire is hot, these people are enough for us to have a headache. ”

Mike rubbed his temples and said to Howard.

In the past two days, he has been out to inquire about the news, but he has not collected much useful information, but he has seen a lot of 'old friends' who have dealt with him before.

These people are a headache for him, and their purpose is very clear, either for the antiques, or for the people behind the antiques.

The purpose is the same as that of the CIA, which means that their mission this time is not only to recover those artifacts and bring those damned thieves to justice, but also to face competition from many peers and even rivals.

This gave Mike a headache too, and this time, Howard's eyes widened suddenly: "Forget it, no matter how much, the next thing we have to do is wait, wait for those guys to reveal their whereabouts, and then we are trying to find a way to get on the boat." Well, if those bastards dare to challenge us, hehe, I don't mind letting them remember the profound lesson of challenging the U.S. government! ”

Howard said with a smile, revealing a particularly conspicuous white tooth as he spoke, but this white tooth made people look a little frightened at this time.

Seeing that the old fellow had regained his confidence so quickly, Mike was also very happy, and reached out and patted Howard on the shoulder......

Sure enough, Mike was right, and that night, they intercepted an email from an American guy they had been spying on.

The email clearly informed the big guy that the auction would take place a day later on the Mediterranean Star cruise ship, and that the embarkation location was arranged in a small fishing port called Chenarini, southwest of the port of Naples.

After being informed of the location and time of boarding, Howard and Mike high-fived each other, and then immediately asked the battle team to start preparing weapons and ammunition and making battle plans.

In this operation, don't expect to contact the Italian authorities for help, the local police, customs, and even the coast guard and navy can't tell them, who knows if there are any eyeliners planted by those guys in these Italians?

What's more, they weren't willing to help in the first place!

So they have to rely on themselves here, Howard organized a thirty-person assault team, some of these people are CIA specially trained field personnel, most of them are Marine Corps recruits, anyway, most of them are experienced in combat and kill people without blinking.

Needless to say, the equipment is not bad, the Americans have always been not bad at this, almost everyone is armed to the teeth, and the weapons and ammunition they carry can fight a small war.

Seeing that their men were ready, Mike and Howard smiled with satisfaction, and the next thing they had to do was pay a visit to the tycoon they had been watching.

You must know that not everyone can board that cruise ship, only those who are invited, and there will be a very strict identity check before boarding.

If they wanted to get on the boat, it would definitely not be so easy without that person's cooperation.

But there is a little benefit, the gang said, you can bring bodyguards on the ship, but after you get on the ship, all kinds of weapons and equipment must be handed over, and after the auction is over, they will be returned to everyone.

This is also in line with the rules, after all, these people also know that their identities are unknown, these rich people and the representatives of the rich people may not be able to trust them, if the rich people are allowed to bring bodyguards on the boat, the rich people will definitely accept it.

And there is no limit to the number of bodyguards on board, after all, the cruise ship is also 10,000 tons, and it can carry thousands of people, even if you bring a hundred bodyguards on board, people can fit it.

After all, without knowing the roots, the more people you bring, the more confident those rich people will be.

And Howard they beat the idea of the bodyguard, the rich man is now in the oil business, but the first pot of gold he made his fortune seems to have started by relying on Africa.

The CIA has a lot of evidence about that guy's crime, and if that guy doesn't want to go to jail, it's best to cooperate with them obediently......

Sure enough, at the rich man's place, Howard and the others got the 'invitation' as they wished, and as for the iron face of the rich man when they left, they didn't care.

The next night, the rich man set out with the group and went straight to the fishing port of Chenarini, where they were already in a state of crowds.

Sure enough, as they had expected, before boarding the ship, those rich people or their representatives had to undergo strict identity authentication before they were allowed to board the ship, and as for the bodyguards they brought, the requirements were not so strict.

The inspection took a long time, everyone was waiting on the dock, and Mike also saw many acquaintances from the side of many rich people at this time.

For example, the MI5 Hughes he saw a few days ago who had worked with him, as well as several well-known domestic treasure hunters, and even a few black @gang bosses with makeup.

When he saw these people, he couldn't help but sigh for a while, it seemed that there were really a lot of people who wanted to go with them.

Finally, the lengthy security check and identification were completed, and everyone began to board the ship one after another, but before boarding, the bodyguards handed over all their weapons.

Of course, the inspection is not strict, and you can still hide some pistols, daggers and other self-defense weapons.

Because there were so many people on the boat, everyone went separately, one group of rich people, another wave of bodyguards, but when they got on the boat, Howard and Hughes felt strange because they were taken to a large cabin, and those rich people were not with them.

He had just wanted to use his microphone to contact the big guy who had brought them aboard, but there was a shock under his feet, and the ship had already begun to leave the shore......

A group of real and fake bodyguards, each of them can only endure the doubts in their hearts, as the cruise ship slowly sailed into the Mediterranean, at this time the main owner has not yet appeared, they can only hold their breath and wait secretly! (To be continued......)
