Chapter 181: The Name of a Man, the Shadow of a Tree
It was almost noon when Al called.
John motioned for Sophie to answer.
Sophie swiped her finger across the screen and tapped on the hands-free.
"Hey, who are you?" Al's voice came from the phone's amplification.
This voice Sophie is familiar.
With her ability to remember, she knew that it was 100% Al himself on the other end of the phone, proving that the fish had bitten.
Sophie: "Al, I heard you're asking for Tsuyoshi Fujita's sword, right?" ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, "Sophie, is that you?" How can you have Tsuyoshi Fujita's knife, didn't he swear not to forge a knife again? ”
Sophie smiled: "Oaths can sometimes be changed, Fujita Tsuyoshi has not forged a sword for twenty years, but now he has broken the oath for a person." ”
Al: "Who?" ”
Sophie: "'Black Mamba'. ”
There was silence on the other end of the line again.
Sophie: "You should know about the murder of 'Copperhead' Fanita Green in her home, right?" ”
Al: "That's right, so Becky is looking for revenge on us?" ”
After all, this was a month ago, and it's been so long, even if the news is closed, you should know it.
Sophie: "Of course. However, she was too self-conscious, and yesterday she brought the sword that Fujita had just cast to the club to find Ailian's revenge, but she died before she could get out of the school, and the sword naturally fell into our hands. ”
"It's good to die." Al gloated: "If it weren't for Bill's pity for his little boy four years ago, he stopped me, and I ended up with her in the hospital at that time." ”
Otherwise, it would not have left such a big trouble, and as soon as she woke up, she began to take revenge, but fortunately, the first target of Nabiki's choice was Funita Green.
But now that she's dead, she can rest easy.
Al put his mind at ease and asked, "Sophie, Ailian, did she really decide to sell Tsuyoshi Fujita's sword?" As far as I know, she doesn't love the katana as much as I do, so how could she be reluctant to cut it? ”
Sophie: "Ailian's identity is different now, she doesn't pay much attention to martial arts anymore, she is more concerned about how to deal with people in high society. Ai Lian will be qualified for the title of president of the council next month. ”
Al sighed, and there was envy in his tone.
It is the dream of many people to be able to occupy a high position and step into the life of high society, after all, killers will not work for a lifetime, and sooner or later they will retire.
Al then asked, "How much did you bid for the sword?" ”
Sophie: "A hundred hotel coins." ”
When John heard this, his mouth suddenly opened into an O-shape, a hotel gold coin is worth a million US dollars, and a hundred is a hundred million!
The asking price is so much that you deliberately want to ruin this order, right?
It's like fishing, when a fish has just bitten the hook, you can lift it hard, and even the big fish will run.
Sophie hurriedly gave John a look, signaling him to be calm, not to make any noise, not to be so unseen in the world.
John immediately covered his mouth.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "Sophie, is Ailian's asking price too much?" ”
Sophie immediately said, "Not much, really not much at all." I know you were going to pay eighty gold for Bud's knife, but I can tell you for sure now that the knife we have is the best one Fujita has ever forged, and that Bard's is nothing compared to this one.
A hundred gold coins is really the lowest price. And it's Ai Lian who knows that you like it, so she can't bear to cut her love. ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone again for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, so when are we going to trade?" When and where? ”
Sophie sneered at John and said to the other end of the phone, "You come to the country first, and we'll talk in detail when we get here." ”
"Okay, I'll get over as soon as I can, that's all."
After that, he hung up the phone on the other end.
Sophie gave the phone back to John.
John gave her a big thumbs up.
The fish has been hooked, now it's just a matter of timing the bite to make money.
……
In the evening, Al called again and said that she had arrived at the international airport.
According to the plan, Sophie drove alone to the airport to meet Al, took her to the downtown building, and led her to the rooftop dozens of stories high.
When she reached the last iron gate, Sophie said to Al, "Elaine is waiting for you on the rooftop with the sword, and I won't go up." ”
Al nodded, and walked into the front iron door with his handbag.
The wind on the roof is very strong, and people's eyes are a little difficult to open, and it is dark at night, and the vision is not very clear.
Al only vaguely saw a figure standing on the edge of the rooftop.
The figure held a katana in his right hand, with his back to this side.
Al took a deep breath and walked towards the figure in the strong wind above him.
But the closer he got to the figure, the more Al felt that something was wrong.
Because that back is not Ishii Yuren.
She and Ishii Yulian are both one of the five snakes of the poisonous snake assassination group, they are colleagues, and their personal relationship is not bad, and they still know each other well.
What kind of back is Ishii Yuren, and El can recognize it with his eyes closed.
"Who are you?!" Al asked, and stopped.
She had already judged that the back figure holding the katana in front of her was definitely not Ishii Miren.
And she was a little puzzled and couldn't figure out what kind of tricks Sophie was playing.
Why did you introduce an unknown person to her as Ishii Yuren?
I can't guess what Sophie's purpose is.
"Hehe, it doesn't look stupid enough." John said, turning around.
He saw a woman with a western face standing ten paces behind him.
The woman had curly brown hair, was about thirty years old, and was of the kind that still had the charm of the wind(*), and if she hadn't been blind in one eye and wearing a pirate-style blindfold on her face, she would have at least added a few more points to her appearance.
She was carrying a handbag and was looking at this side with a wary expression.
When she saw John's appearance clearly, she immediately couldn't help but shout: "Black Caesar?!" ”
There is no way.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Black Caesar is a senior, and there are very few people in the circle who don't recognize him.
It also shows once again that people are too famous, and sometimes it is not a good thing.
After recognizing John as the Black Caesar, Al immediately stepped back.
Of course.
This doesn't mean that Al must be afraid of John, if she simply competes in strength, she thinks she won't be much worse than John.
After all, no matter how strong Black Caesar is, he is already old, and he has become an old man, and his strength must have been discounted a lot.
It's just that Al doesn't know what the hell they're up to now, and doesn't know what kind of trap they've fallen into.
It was hard for her to understand why Sophie would join forces with Black Caesar to harm herself, and Al couldn't guess why.
If you can't guess the enemy's trap, then you must run away first.
Thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy.
This is what Al learned from his former master, Bai Mei Lao Dao.
