It was close to the afternoon, and New York Harbor was still busy, with countless ships unloading or loading their cargo. Stout workers wore canvas shoulders and carried bags of goods up and down the high gangplank. There are also steam-powered cranes, emitting black smoke and white fog, roaring, lifting some large items that cannot be carried by human means on or off the ship.

In this era, steam-powered ships have appeared, but sailing ships have not yet withdrawn from the sea, and are even the protagonists of the sea. So in the harbor of New York, you can see both steam-powered ships with huge paddle wheels and towering chimneys, as well as large schooners with four or even five masts. Of course, there are also nondescript monsters, hybrid ships with three or four tall masts and towering chimneys, and there are far more of them than purely steam-powered ships.

The main reason for this situation was that the research on steam-powered ships was not very in-depth at that time, and there were concerns about the reliability of the steam engine, so at that time, ships used for transoceanic voyages, even if they were equipped with steam engines, would still keep their sails, so that if the steam engine failed, the ship could still sail on the sails. So the hybrid ships with both sails and chimneys are the seagoing vessels, while the purebred steam-powered ships are mostly inland waterways.

Now, in front of Francis is such a hybrid ship with both steam power and sails. It is a passenger and cargo ship of more than 4,000 tons, with the cargo hold on the ground floor and the passenger cabin on the upper deck. Compared with the flying clippers with flying speed, the degree of about ten knots of this boat is not fast, but it also has advantages that the flying clippers cannot compare. First of all, as a cargo ship, its carrying capacity is far more than the general clipping ship, although the clipper ship runs faster than it, but it runs once is equivalent to the clipping ship running several times, so in the transportation of bulk items, it has its own advantages. As a passenger ship, it is slow, but its comfort is far greater than that of the clippers. Those flying shears sacrifice a lot of performance for the sake of degree, well, comfort is also one of them.

Now, Francis was standing in a queue waiting to board the ship, slowly approaching the customs checkpoint.

"Next! …… Next! ......"A customs officer is checking everyone's tickets and belongings one by one.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Francis' turn.

The customs officer looked down at his paperwork, just rolled his eyes to Francis and asked, "Name?" ”

"Francis, Francis? Patra. Francis hurriedly replied.

Hearing the name, the customs officer seemed to remember something, he looked at Francis with wide eyes, and then said to a person who looked like a police officer next to him: "Check his luggage." ”

The officer opened Francis's box and looked through it for a moment, then closed it and stood up.

Francis thought the next move of the police was to wave away. Who knows, from the mouth of the police, there is such a faint sentence: "Come with me." ”

Francis immediately understood that he had fallen into a trap, and he turned to escape, but at some point, two unscrupulous, tiger-backed policemen were already standing behind him. As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by an arm by a policeman, and then another policeman quickly punched him, directly beating him to bend over like a shrimp. Then, two policemen dragged Francis, who was so pained that he couldn't make a sound, toward a log cabin on the side, and then, Francis faintly heard the customs officer shouting, "Next! ”

……

Francis slowly woke up, surrounded by darkness. He only felt a pain in his head, and after a while he almost remembered that the two policemen had dragged him into the cabin, and had put a wet towel with a strange smell on his nose, and he had fainted......

Where is this? No, this is definitely not a police department, this must be the McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company somewhere. How dare they treat themselves like this! I've already asked people to pay for it, and this time it's not a million that can solve it......

Francis got up from the ground, and since there was no light in the room, he could only grope his way forward, and after a few steps, a wall appeared in front of him, and he felt along the wall, and there seemed to be a door, but the door was locked, so tightly locked that it could hardly be shaken.

Francis banged on the door, but there was no response, he cried out loudly, but there was nothing in the little dark room but his own voice.

I don't know how long it was, Francis hammered the door over and over again, shouting again and again in vain, but until he fell to the ground exhausted, there was still no sound.

Exhausted, Francis collapsed to the ground, and there was still no sound around him, except for his own heavy gasps and the sound of his own heartbeat. The sound slammed into his heart like a hammer. At first, he was still thinking that if they caught him, why didn't they interrogate him, why did they leave himself here like this. Then he thought that something had happened to him, did the friend he entrusted know? He's going to get this out there, right? At that point, under pressure, maybe McDonald Chemical & Pharma will let itself go, right? But it occurred to him that his friend thought that he had gone to France, and that he would not publish the article for at least a month. And, even if he makes the text public, the most likely thing McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical will do is not to let himself go, but to simply kill himself. Otherwise, wouldn't you have confessed to the crime of kidnapping tickets?

This thought plunged him into great fear, and the situation of being ignored for a long time (in such an environment, one's sense of time would be completely destroyed, and a short period of time, it would make him feel very long), and made him wonder if his friend was reliable, maybe it was the so-called friend who betrayed him? After all, there is a lot of money involved, and no matter how reliable a friend is, it is also ...... at this time

……

Bond looked at his watch and said, "It's been an hour and a half since this guy woke up, and it's been twenty minutes since he last slammed the door." It's almost time, and the effect of the medicine injected into that guy should be good. Okay, go ahead and get that guy out! ”

Immediately after Francis was put into the dark room, he was injected with a large amount of methamphetamine. That is, what is called methamphetamine in our plane, and what is called "Mighty Pill" in Scrooge's plane. This thing can indeed make people extremely brave when they are first used, but if the amount is a little too much, it will make people suspicious, irritable, and anxious. At this time, coupled with the cues of the environment, it is easy for ordinary people to collapse mentally. At this time, the exhaustion after the effect of the drug has passed will make their mental state worse. It's so easy to deal with such a person in an interrogation.

As expected, Francis didn't last long before he honestly explained where he had hidden the copy. He had only two trusted friends, one for each of them. As for his French uncle, because they had very little dealing, he was not very comfortable with such things. So his uncle didn't have that stuff there.

But he said it a little too late, and a few days before a group of Blackwater members had already arrived in Paris on the fastest clippers. These men were instructed to enter the restaurant at night, take control of the owner's house, and then burn down the entire restaurant.

A few days later, Bond went to Scrooge to get his life back to him, and he told Scott that they had intercepted the damn real Yàn's writings. All those in the know have either been accused by us - Francis, his father and mother, his whole family is under our control. As for the situation of his uncle, it is not known because of the problem of information dissemination. However, it shouldn't be a big problem. And his two friends, as well as their whole family, were also guests with us.

"Are you sure there aren't any more copies left out?" Scrooge said.

"Yes, Mr. Scrooge, I'm sure. There will be no more copies left out. Bond said.

"Well, if there is still a copy of zài, how long will it be before it is made public?" Scrooge asked.

"The time is today, Mr. MacDonald."

"Well, if there are no accidents today, I will fulfill the promise I made to you. You have eliminated risk for the company and reduced the company's losses by at least one million dollars. I will use half of this money as a bonus for the participants of this operation. Scrooge said.

"Thank you, Mr. MacDonald." Bond said, "You're so generous. Also, what about those people? ”

"Do you need to ask me such a question?" "You make your own decisions. But remember, we must seek to ensure that these people will never be a threat to us again. ”

"I see, Mr. MacDonald." With that, Bond stepped back.

This day passed peacefully, and the next day passed peacefully.

On the morning of the third day, Scrooge was leisurely reading the newspaper in his office when Rockefeller walked in.

"Is it still calm?"

"Of course, there were just some unfortunate things happening in New Haven. Two Yale college students and their families caused a fire because of improper use of fire, and as a result, their house was burned to the ground, and no one in the family was spared. It's so sad. John, do you say yes? ”

"yes, that's pathetic! May their souls find peace in heaven. Rockefeller said reverently.
