"Cohen, we've come here this time to really go to the Three Treasures Palace, and we really want to ask you for some help, but I know the rules, Cohen, if our problem touches the security level, please don't be embarrassed."

As soon as he sat down in the dining room, instead of directly making his request, Cohen nodded:

"I know what to do, but I've really retired from the front line over the years, and I'm just doing some behind-the-scenes work at the moment, I don't know if I can help you, I'm measured, I know what to say and what not to say, let's talk about your problem first, I've heard a lot of legends about you recently, I don't know if it's true or not, what do you want to know?"

"Then I'll be blunt, Cohen, have you heard of a place called Sojie at the junction of the three kingdoms of Ishayo? What do you know about there? ”

Nor did he hand Cohen a map of the location printed on A4 paper, with several points marked with clear latitude and longitude, a few points surrounding an irregular polygon, and a point in the middle marked with the name of 'Sojie'.

Cohen glanced at Yifei and reached out to bring the A4 paper to his face.

"I know this place, during the Gulf War, the Mi army established a temporary supply point, there are many similar supply stations in the surrounding areas of Iraq, some are used to store strategic materials, the team rests, and some are used to train the local anti-Saxxy civilian forces, Sojie's position used to be such a military assembly point, no, you can tell me, why are you interested in this place?"

"Last night, our satellites tracked the flight trajectory of two helicopters, and it was basically determined that these two helicopters landed in this area, and the reason why we want to verify this area is because we are sure that one of our domestic experts was hijacked in this location in the early hours of this morning, and we received an order to bring him back to China."

He did not hide his purpose for coming here, and he believed that Cohen had learned the general context of the incident through various media reports.

Cohen nodded, put the paper back on the table, and pushed it back in front of Yifei:

"So, what the news reports are true?"

"What do you mean?"

"Our Coast Guard received a distress call at dawn today reporting that their boat had been attacked by unidentified armed men on the high seas, with casualties on board, and that the ship had been brought back to port by our coast guard vessel this morning, and relevant international organizations had rushed there to investigate and collect evidence."

"Has there been any progress in the investigation? We've been at the airport for most of the day, and we don't know much about the latest situation. ”

"There were five dead on board and several crew members injured in the clashes~"

Speaking of this, Cohen glanced at him and was not kind, considered his words, and then said:

"According to the report, two of the dead held Chinese passports, another held Thai passports, and the other two deceased were from the North Koreans, and the injured crew members were basically North Korean crew members from the Philippines, and the injured crew members said in an interview with the media that the victims were killed by those attackers during the conflict, and as for how the dead boarded the ship, they were secretive, and the personnel were investigating and verifying the true identities of the dead and the purpose of boarding."

"Has there been any progress in the investigation into who planned and carried out the attack on the merchant ship? Or is there any organization or individual that admits responsibility for the matter? ”

Cohen's words did not seem to have touched the question, nor did he quietly follow up on the latest developments in the incident.

"No one has come forward to claim the attack, and some media or crew members seem to have hinted that the CIA planned the operation, but soon officials came forward to deny it, and the Mi military also confirmed that there was no military action in that area."

"Do you have any more details about the deceased?"

"There is no more detailed information, the official report is just a simple intuitive judgment, country, age and other aspects, I haven't seen specific and more detailed information, damn, no, what happened? We are friends, I don't want to be kept in the dark, if it doesn't involve official secrets, I want to hear your truth, do those people on the ship have anything to do with you? ”

"Cohen, can you believe what I say?"

"Nonsense, we are brothers in life and death, of course I believe your words."

Some of the food he ordered had already been served on the table, and it was impossible for him to be really hungry, so he first buried his head in his mouth and pulled a few bites of vegetable salad into his mouth, and then cut a small piece of tender and fragrant fried beef and put it in his mouth to chew slowly, and then slowly spoke:

"Cohen, what you see or hear is deceptive, I have just told you, what we want to find is an expert who has been hijacked, this is also our official statement to the outside world, what I can tell you is that on the way of our expert, the Northern Dynasties planned to create a car accident, and took the opportunity to kidnap this person, we pursued all the way after learning about this, but never kept up with the footsteps of the Northern Dynasties, on a dock in the Turkish country, I was only 100 meters away from this expert, But he was escorted by a large number of local guerrillas and North Korean agents, and I had no chance of success, because I saw this person being taken on board the cargo ship by several North Koreans, and we originally planned to monitor and collect evidence when the ship docked, so as to negotiate with the North Korean authorities, but we didn't expect that the ship would have an accident on the way, so we hurried here, Cohen, the expert we were looking for was nearly sixty years old, if I guessed correctly, there should not be such an old age among the members killed in the conflict. ”

Yifei's remarks did not completely dispel the doubts in Cohen's mind, and he pondered for a while and continued to ask:

"No, you guessed right, whether it was the victims or the crew who were brought ashore to assist in the investigation, the investigators did not find the person of the age you mentioned, and the person who was taken away by the crew of the investigation is very consistent with your description, I believe what you just said, but this does not completely dispel my doubts, and no, all this you said, this expert, the contradictions caused by him should only be limited to the contradictions between you and the two northern Koreas, But apparently the armed men who attacked the ship were not either of you, what was the purpose of these attackers? Is it to get the expert you're looking for? ”

"This is also a big mystery in our hearts, and this question did not start after this conflict, when we were still in Turkey, we found this abnormal situation, at that time Lezi was in another port in Turkey, Lezi saw with his own eyes that there were intelligence officers from the United States who intercepted the Northern Koreans who were moving the goods loaded on the ship, but the people of the United States should have been tricked, and they failed to find anything in those goods."

Leko, who was sitting on the side, nodded in acknowledgement, and added some details at the time.

Cohen listened to the brief introduction of the previous situation by Yifei and Lezi, and continued to ask after a moment's thought

"Regarding the conflict between the people of the United States and the people of the Northern Dynasties, no, do you come to any specific judgments, or do you find something strange in it?"
