Chapter 15 The Blue Whale Hotel
As the largest port in Invig, the port of Rendona is teowed with countless ships, and the sea breeze blows into the cities along the coast, and the steam rises from one chimney after another, like an outstretched arm slowly touching the sky.
The sea shook slightly, and even the boats shook gently, and the shouts of the people and the high whistles continued, and some of the ships were sailing into the harbor, and some of the ships were slowly leaving.
The smell here is not good, all kinds of strange smells are mixed together, and it becomes the unique smell of the port of Rendona, which is like another old Dunling, where countless strangers arrive by ship to trade, and many strange and strange faces can be seen in the streets and alleys.
The train came to a slow stop, and then the doors opened, and the steam cleared, revealing the crowd below.
At the head was a very muscular man, who smiled as much as he could, but whose face seemed to have been carved by the wind still made the person looking at him feel a slight sharp ache, and behind him was a guy with a cello case on his back, and he looked casual, his eyes swept back and forth, full of the novelty of seeing something new, and behind him was a girl with impressive red hair and a stiff face, like a very unfriendly sharp knife.
Finally, under the threat of the shrike, the last member walked down in great pain.
He looked like he had eaten something he shouldn't have eaten, the expressions on his face had twisted together, and he might have had some good expectations, but when he completely stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the land, he knew that it was all over.
"I'll send you here, and the rest of the operation will be under the command of Haybod. ”
Shrike had no intention of getting out of the car, and after kicking the kestrel out of the car, he shrank back again
Soon after, the train departed again, and the kestrel was still standing in its same twisted appearance, still holding a triangle in its hand.
"I said, are you homesick?"
Lorenzo patted the kestrel on the shoulder and said to the kestrel with a forced smile.
Looking at Lorenzo with empty eyes, the kestrel took a deep breath, and after a few rounds of looping, he finally accepted the status quo and followed the team with a decadent face, while the triangle in his hand still made a clear sound from time to time, with a sad look.
There's no way around it, after all, it's all here, and Kestrel knows very well that he has no chance to turn back, so he can only follow a few neuropaths to the dark.
But...... But......
"What are you doing?"
The kestrel suddenly screamed.
I saw Lorenzo wandering around the station with a piano case, and at some point he had already held a string of souvenirs in his hand, and Eve was a little at a loss to follow him and reach out, and also helped Lorenzo carry a few so-called souvenirs.
Aren't you here on a mission? Isn't it related to the international situation? How do you make it look like you're here to travel and shop?
Speaking of travel and shopping, Kestrel felt a burst of angina for a while, and he clenched his chest with one hand, wanting to scold something more, but he couldn't say anything.
"Yo, Hybod, do you Vikings have this thing?"
Lorenzo walked up to Hybod's side with a large bag, took out a piece of fruit from it, wiped it briefly with his clothes, and nibbled on it.
"I haven't seen it, I guess not. ”
Haybold glanced at the fruit and said with some regret.
The Vikings were remote and covered by winters for many years, and many crops could not survive in this environment, let alone fruits, and for these reasons, in the thousands of years of development, the Vikings became countries that plundered foreign countries.
But times have changed, this is not a time when tomahawks can plunder everything, they need to change.
"Then try it, and bring some souvenirs back when it's done. ”
Lorenzo shoved the bag to Haybed, then took a piece of fruit from the bag Eve was carrying and nibbled on it.
Kestrel staggered behind the trio, eager to have Lorenzo's hellish mentality.
The Purifier and North Dro had already arranged everything, and the port of Rendona had already prepared a temporary residence for them, and when they opened the door, they entered the vast living room, and on the other side were huge floor-to-ceiling windows, from which they could directly see the view of the port.
Stacking his luggage aside, Lorenzo collapsed directly on the couch, Eve walked back and forth between the rooms, observing the situation around her, Kestrel and Lorenzo collapsed together, and Haybold picked up some documents and sat on the other side of the two.
"This is Erin Adler's safe house, and according to valid intelligence, she should be staying here. ”
Hypard spread out the map, with a red pen indicating Erin's location.
Lorenzo's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the map, and judging by the direction, he looked out the window again, not far from here, the buildings as far as the eye could see, where the map was marked.
It seems that this temporary accommodation is not arbitrarily arranged, it is all in the plan of Haybod.
This guy wasn't like an emissary, he was an expert just like Lorenzo.
"She is staying in a hotel for the Blue Whale, the room number is B524, the port is probably like this, on the surface it is the flow of trade, but there is a large amount of smuggling in private, this hotel is the 'black shop' that provides accommodation for these smugglers, and only such a black shop does not require any identification, so that Erin can stay in. ”
"We'll stay here for two days, and so will Irene, who, as far as I know, is very cunning, and we only have one chance to capture her, and if we fail, we'll lose her tracks, and we'll have to follow the orchestra straight to Gaulinaro in two days' time. ”
Lorenzo nodded, sat up straight with his paralyzed body, and asked.
"So you already have a plan?"
"Yes, it's also a way for us to get to know each other, after all, I haven't seen your strength with my own eyes, Mr. Holmos, have I?"
Hybade said as he looked at Lorenzo's gray-blue eyes.
The two looked at each other briefly, and then Haybold continued his plan.
"The plan is simple, although the Vikings have launched a secret wanted for Erin, but this is Ingwig's territory, and we Vikings can't act directly here, which will make her let her guard down, all you have to do is get to this position and catch her. ”
"Sounds simple. Lorenzo said.
"But it's also difficult, it's a cunning woman who will play everyone around, otherwise we wouldn't have let her escape from the Vikings. ”
"Do you have a picture?"
"No, I know it's a little incredible, but that's what we found out later, this woman hides her identity very well, dresses differently every time, doesn't leave any recordable images, and even says that the name Erin Adler may be fake. ”
Hybord's expression became serious.
"Sometimes I feel like she's not the one who doesn't exist. ”
"Is that so......"
Lorenzo found things interesting.
He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the magnificent port.
Dense ships covered the sea, and countless people shuttled back and forth from ship to ship, different languages, different faces...... For a moment, Lorenzo felt like a downtown town, a mixed bag, but it maintained a tacit order.
No one knows how many unspeakable secrets are hidden here.
Lorenzo looked at the buildings in the distance, and combined with the map in Hybod's hand, a rough plan was conceived little by little.
"I say, Haybod, this operation is for secrecy, which means that no one knows who we are except for those at the very top, right?"
"Yes. ”
Haybold replied that he had even cut off his beloved beard for this operation, but in fact, for Lorenzo, he looked pretty good, and he was a few years younger after cutting off his beard.
"Then if we cause a riot here, I think the mounted police will arrest us and even fire at us without discrimination, right? After all, in their eyes, we are not some ministers, but a bunch of rebels and thieves. ”
"I like it, almost, the people in charge here don't know any of this, after all, the enemy will have spies planted with us, and no one can be trusted. ”
"Is that so...... Then I need to change my mind. ”
Lorenzo said as he took off his clothes, he stepped aside and opened the closet, which, as expected, was already full of clothes, including the clothes Lorenzo needed.
"We're not a rescue team now, we're a bunch of outlaws smuggling goods, because of an operation we have a traitor within us, and that traitor is hiding in the Blue Whale Hotel with the goods...... What do you think of this plot?"
Lorenzo changed into a neat black gown, with an inexplicable sense of nobility, and at the same time he took out a dress and threw it to Eve.
"Kestrel can you drive a carriage?"
Kestrel tilted his head slightly, and nodded briefly, he still knows this kind of work, when he is mixed in the lower city, he often drives the carriage for a period of exciting life and death.
"So Haybod, can you fight?"
"If I die, I'm going to drink in Valhalla. ”
Hybod smiled at Lorenzo, his muscles larger than Lorenzo's, like a humanoid bear.
Lorenzo felt that it was not bad, it felt good to have a helper, and if he came alone, not only would he have to chase Erin, but he might also have to fight with all the passers-by who were swept in.
"Get ready to act, we're in a hurry, we'll start tonight. ”
Lorenzo opened the case, which glowed with an icy cold light, and one deadly weapon after another hung from it.
......
Blue Whale Hotel.
The woman woke up from bed leisurely, she didn't like the feeling of a hangover, yes, she woke up with a hangover and her head hurt, as if someone had hit her with a hammer.
But admittedly, a hangover was also good, and she forgot all the pain during that blurred time, like a numb corpse.
A whimper sounded, and Erin looked to the other side.
"Ahh ”
Erin kept apologizing, and in the other corner a woman was being tied up with a lot of blood in her eyes.
She got out of bed, wearing loose underwear, and the light slightly outlined through the clothes.
Erin picked up the pistol placed on the cabinet and put the muzzle of the gun on the woman's head, and the woman would die a tragic death in front of her eyes if she pulled the trigger.
She didn't worry that the gunshots would attract the attention of others, after all, this was the Blue Whale Hotel, let alone shooting and killing a woman here, even if more people died, as long as Erin called the front desk service, a waiter would knock on her door soon to dispose of the corpses.
Yes, the Blue View Hotel itself is part of a crime, and as the largest trading port in Invig, the smuggling of a tiny fraction of it is a huge fortune enough to make anyone take a risk.
Invig's official attitude towards all this is also very cold, they seem to want to try to deal with the old Dunling, independent of the lower town dedicated to dumping garbage, but unfortunately the flow of people in the port of Rendona is too large, under various factors, the city and the lower city are mixed together, into another strange but functioning port city.
The woman's frightened gaze reflected Erin's somewhat dazed expression, but then Erin laughed, she put away her gun, and kissed the woman's forehead, whispering in her ear.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, you have a better use. ”
Erin picked up a cigarette and dragged the bound woman out of the room, the glass was shattered, there were still a few bullet holes in the wall, and the living room was a mess, as if someone had just fought here.
"How much am I worth right now on the Gallinalo side?"
Irene asked as she walked, she shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, how could a woman reply?
"Okay, I'll ask you to sleep for a while now, and of course, I don't know if you'll wake up. ”
Erin took out a potion from the woman's bag, which seemed to be a tranquilizer, and with the injection, the woman's struggle gradually weakened, and finally fell into a deep sleep, Erin changed into the waitress's clothes, stuffed her under the cart, and then came to the hallway.
The word B523 was written on the door number behind her, and in this uninhabited corridor, Erin stopped after a few steps, and she looked at another door, which read B524.
"I'm home!"
Her voice was brisk, as if she were speaking to a woman who had fallen asleep under the cart.
