Chapter 60: The Reason We Found You

An Feng's bedroom is not big, about 40 square meters. It is seven steps from door to window and eight steps from left to right.

There are two windows in the bedroom, and between the two windows there is a wall 1 meter and 5 meters wide. Under the light, a high-backed chair was placed on the partition wall, the back of the chair stood against the wall, the curtains on the left and right were half-open and half-closed, and the light from the street lamp outside the window penetrated in, just so that the position was in shadow. A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties sat on a chair, his body straight and tense.

That location is really wonderful, if An Feng chooses, where will he hide-the street lights make the partition wall position in a staggered light and dark, affecting people's sight and affecting people's aiming, and standing against the wall makes people outside the house unable to see their existence no matter what, but they can observe the movement outside the house. There is no better position to be an observation point, or a sniper's chosen one.

The man's eyes were sharp, and his straight, thin hooked nose revealed a cold smell; Half-length shawl hair, with a Mexican casualness. Obviously forty or fifty years old but without a belly, the muscles are tight and toned, the arms and legs look strong and explosive, and the appearance looks a bit like Antonio Banderas 20 years later, full of strong Latin cool masculine flavor.

Well, killers should look like this. If you don't look like this, you're ashamed of the promising career of a killer.

The man's armpits were bulging, his hands were spread out on his knees, and his suit was open and unbuttoned. He was covered in black, with black hair and eyes, a black suit, a black shirt and black leather shoes, and the whole person seemed to be a black shadow. There is also a black metal ring on the middle finger, the surface of the ring is smooth, except for the outer ring with a touch of gold, there is no decoration.

This person An Feng knew. He was Steven's friend with a background in the intelligence services...... But how could Steven get acquainted with such a cold guy.

In the Golden Car Plan, the original "Plan A" was accompanied by this person throughout the whole process, going to the desert with An Feng to find it, and hiding and transferring the golden car together; In "Plan B", the gold is thrown into the sea, and this person is responsible for driving the ship to salvage it, and then handing it over in a safe place...... But in the end, An Feng used the "Plan C", so this person became an ordinary cover person, he was ordered to drive the plane to the desert for a turn, just a circle, and there was no follow-up.

An Feng's pupils changed slightly, revealing just the right amount of astonishment and fear, and then he looked at the other party fixedly-the basement was searched by this person, maybe he also searched the above-ground part, and then this person took a chair and sat here, waiting for the person to enter the room.

An Feng's eyes were fixed, as if he was frightened stupidly, but his mind kept spinning - no, he wouldn't know about my existence. I had never been in contact with the other person, I knew what the other person looked like, and I still read the dossier prepared by Steven. In that file were all the employees of the "Golden Car Case", and that file, fortunately, I had already destroyed it afterwards.

What did he ask me for? Although he ended up being reduced to an ordinary coverer, he should have received a payment directly from the anonymous fund into the other party's account, and even if Steven escaped, it would not affect his income.

Does he know my plans? No, even Steven didn't know that there was a "golden car", and after An Feng issued the instruction to execute the "Plan C", an email would be delivered to Steven, and Steven would be responsible for sending the script in the email to everyone. An Feng's script is very detailed, and what each person needs to do is accurate to the hour. The hired "actors" don't know each other exists, they don't even know why they're hired.

Steven ran away, he won't leave his computer behind, right?

Even if Steven's computer was seized, An Feng would still be safe, because the names used in the emails were pseudonyms, An Feng was a pseudonym, and everyone hired had a letter code. Steven had a small note in his hand that recorded the pseudonyms of everyone for both sides to cross. But this small note was exchanged face-to-face between the two sides, and no outsiders handled it.

No matter how stupid Steven is, he won't forget An Feng's repeated warnings - according to the regulations, after the action order is issued, Steven must immediately destroy the small note and delete An Feng's email records.

Alas, An Feng sighed quietly in his heart, his face did not show it at all, his voice trembled slightly, and he asked with an appropriate trill: "You, where did you arrest Argyle?" Is he okay? ”

The person on the other side shrugged his shoulders and replied, "You recognized the wrong person, I didn't catch the 'big man'." ”

"Who are you?" An Feng made a frightened expression, his body seemed to shrink into a ball, and asked tremblingly.

The person on the other side sighed, stretched out his index finger and shook it, "Pretending not to be, you are too childless...... Oh, and probably you've forgotten how to be a kid. For example, you are standing in such a wonderful position that you are not visible from the window at all. Is this a coincidence, or is it ...... Who taught you? ”

When the light was turned on, An Feng had already leaned close to the door. Pretending to be frightened for a while, he dodged, his body was half hidden by the door panel, as long as he turned around, An Feng could escape into the aisle, and he could turn downstairs in one turn......

"Argyll ......" An Feng didn't want to answer this question, he continued to pretend and asked in a stack: "...... Where's Argyle? I've called him a lot, and he hasn't said anything about not answering my calls, what did you do to him? ”

"It's not me", the person opposite frowned, a little impatient: "I'm late, believe me, when I came in, the room was already like this...... Okay, let's be honest, Steven said you're a high-IQ kid, your behavior has confirmed your IQ, stop pretending to be a kid, tell me where Steven is? ”

"What's wrong with Steven?" An Feng immediately asked: "I came back from vacation, and I can't contact him anymore......"

An Feng immediately added in a low voice: "Fortunately, my money is still there, otherwise, I would have thought he absconded with the money." But ......"

An Feng seemed to think of something, and immediately raised his voice and asked, "...... But how do you know Steven, are you also his employer, and he's also managing your money? Who are you? What do I call you? ”

The person on the other side seemed to be satisfied with An Feng's performance, and he pointed to the clutter in the room and said, "You can talk while cleaning up, so it's more natural...... You can call me Diel, well, just Diel. I'm not Steven's employer, I'm hired by Steven. But he disappeared suddenly, and no one could find him, do you have any news of him? ”

An Feng began to look for the other party, tidying up the clutter in the room, and he stubbornly asked, "What's wrong with Argyle?" We...... What does Attorney Steven's disappearance have to do with us? Why are you looking for us, and what's wrong with Argyle? You didn't find the kidnapper when you came? We, we really don't know where Lawyer Steven went? Maybe, maybe he's on vacation, you see, my money is there, and after finding out that Lawyer Steven can't be contacted, I checked my funds as soon as possible, and they're safe, is your money less? Steven took your money? ”

Dill tilted his head to look at An Feng, thinking and said, "Maybe you can understand, but in order for you to understand your situation, let me be more detailed: Two months ago, Steven just got his trainee lawyer license, and I introduced a client to Steven. This female customer needed Steven to keep some items, but soon our female customer suddenly disappeared.

Unfortunately, the female client's lover was a gang leader, and our female client provided a large amount of evidence that led to the gang leader being imprisoned and sentenced to many years in prison. After the female client testified, she was supposed to enjoy the witness protection program, but she suddenly came out of the police's sight and hid herself. Before leaving, he took some of the money of the gang leader with him.

The last point of contact for this female client was Attorney Steven, and even more unfortunate: Attorney Steven's last contact was you and Argyle. I'm not wrong to say that—you and Argyle. His phone was found in the airport trash can, and the last text message on it was a goodbye, sent to an unfamiliar phone. The phone was handled with the 'Steven Fund', and the Steven Fund was only spent on two people, you and Argyle. ”

An Feng suddenly became angry: Steven, Steven, what do you say you are painting snakes, just leave, what kind of text messages are you messing around.

"You lied to me, I didn't get a text message, neither did Argyle, we both bought our phones with our pocket money, and Lawyer Steven didn't buy us a phone......"

An Feng really didn't receive the text message, so he replied confidently.

It is estimated that when Steven fled, An Feng was in the desert, pulling gold in the "golden car". He never carries a mobile phone when he goes out to commit crimes, and he is indeed accustomed to buying mobile phones with cash, he never buys a "contracted mobile phone" to leave a contact address for the seller, and his mobile phone never uses public funds.

But An Feng, the mobile phone that Steven bought, knew that the mobile phone was set up as a "mobile secretary", and any phone number could log in to the phone's voicemail through the password and answer the recorded messages and text messages in it - this is a contact measure in case of emergency, and it is an insurance method set up by An Feng for himself. The only omission: An Feng never knew that Steven had used his education funds to buy the phone.

This mobile phone was handled by Steele throughout the process, and An Feng knew the number of this mobile phone, but he did not enable it. Because of the successful completion of the golden car case and the disappearance of Steele, An Feng did not log in to the mobile phone afterwards, and he was afraid that it would startle the snake.

The details are decided together, and untrained people always show clues in the details. Fortunately, this detail can be saved, because except for this mobile phone, all the funds in the Golden Car case were allocated through secret funds. And this phone ...... Even if Steven's farewell text message exists, it is not linked to the Golden Car case.

Dill looked at An Feng with reproachful eyes, as if he was condemning such a child for learning to lie. An Feng immediately replaced defense with offense, and asked rhetorically while tidying up the mess on the ground: "No, what you just said is not right, the logic you said is very confusing." You say you're hired, but you say you've introduced clients to Steven, who has just gotten his internship license...... You're lying. ”

Dill chuckled, "What do you want to know?" But there are some things that can be dangerous once you know them......"

An Feng completely showed the paranoia of a child. Stubbornly asked, "Where is Argyll, you ...... What did they do to Argyle? ”

"To know what will happen to Argyle, you have to know how it came about...... Well, I'll tell you the truth: the female client was an undercover police officer, and she went undercover for six years to get enough evidence. However, before testifying, she asked for a completely unrelated lawyer to keep some things for her. So the police commissioned me to hire a newbie, and we found Steven.

I was just an agent in this matter, and I was hired to do some personal work for Steven afterwards, so I left England...... Hmph, what a coincidence, our female undercover agent happened to suddenly disappear while I was away, and she took the items stored in Steven's before leaving, so when I came back, I found that the police suspected me of being involved in this matter and assisted the female undercover agent in hiding.

So I started looking for Steven's last contact. But apparently, the gangsters were quicker than I was, and when I found the room, the gangsters had just left, and they were carrying a big man, and one of them was fiddling with his phone, I guess it was Argyll's phone, and they were dialing the numbers stored in the phone one by one, hoping to find Steven's whereabouts and track him down.

I think they'll find you right away, and since I can find the Steven Fund, so can they. The Steven Fund is only spent on two people, you and Argyle. Maybe they'll find you tonight, and I have a slight advantage over them: Steven told me about you, and he said he had a client who was a high-IQ kid. Obviously, Argyle is not, so it can only be you.

I know you, so I don't treat you like a child. I judged that you would surely come looking for Argyll, and I waited for you in this house for two days...... Thank God you two are foodies, there are plenty of drinks and food in the fridge and basement, I had a good meal here, thank you for the food. Now, what questions do you have? ”

An Feng cleaned up the room, piled up the sundries in the corner, he reached out to turn off the light in the room, sat on the floor, and asked softly: "This means: the police and gangsters are looking for us?" ”

"The police have found you......", Dill replied frankly, "I used to be a police officer, but now I am retired." But I often help them with things that are inconvenient for the police to come forward, and I learned about you from the police, but unfortunately I came a step late. ”

"I'm a foreigner, the Steven Education Fund comes from sponsorship of me, and the police won't have my information before, so the gangsters can find this house and find us, they should also know it from the police", An Feng calmly analyzed: "Obviously, someone deliberately delayed the information sent to you." But I'm curious, we're innocent, and our contact with Attorney Steven was just an employment relationship. We don't know of Steven's other clients......"

"Of course", Dell interjected, "seeing that the gangsters are one step ahead of me, I already know the leaker." He has now been arrested by the police. As for the two of you...... Of course we know you're innocent, but we're going to check it anyway, after all...... Steven didn't entrust you with a fund management project when he left, and maybe he will contact you, or maybe he plans to continue to manage your fund. Is that the case? ”
