Chapter 275: Operation Paris (10)

Wang Cheng raised his wine glass and took a sip gently, Zhou Ran waited expectantly for a reply, but Wang Cheng owed it gracefully and said, "Please allow me to retire...... There was a conversation waiting for me. ”

In Zhou Ran's stunned, Wang Cheng stood up and bowed lightly: "Everything here needs you to taste slowly, and when you feel the good here, you will feel that you are at home, at ease-you can only order what you need, and all the consumption will be recorded in my account." I'll be right back, please wait. ”

Zhou Ran watched in a daze as Wang Cheng walked into the corner of the hall, where a huge door opened, and then, Wang Cheng's back disappeared into it, she retracted her eyes blankly, and unconsciously pulled the scraps on the plate with a knife and fork.

Is this an attraction?

To tell the truth, Zhou Ran and Wang Cheng came together, initially because they saw Wang Cheng's weakness and unconscious motherhood, so they took a hand in the past, and then ...... Then Zhou Ran admitted that he was a little bit of face control, seeing that this man was extraordinary, noble in temperament, and extremely enjoyable in life, he usually had a cold and stern expression, and he was waiting for him at a rare moment of weakness.

After a simple relationship, Zhou Ran felt that the other party's coldness was quite cool. Such a cool guy can probably protect himself well, right? …… Chinese people are more homesick and like to find a sense of belonging. The difference between Eastern and Western cultures makes them feel excluded and ignored, lonely and cold, and this sense of alienation often makes them take the initiative to find support in order to get together for warmth, so Wang Chengyi, who met for the first time, sent an invitation. Zhou Ran immediately agreed, lest the other party change his mind.

The rest of the book is a no-brainer. Zhou Ran quickly moved into Wang Cheng's dormitory and shared a house. Not long after moving in, Wang Cheng was busy on a business trip, and only Zhou Ran was left alone in the huge Hua House, feeling that the house was completely his own, and he was free to play. Zhou Ran felt that he was very happy, and this sense of happiness was still permeating his whole body. I feel happier now.

It is said that there are seventy-two ways to attract a girl, and the first way is to pay for it. The remaining seventy-one are different ways to pay.

In the splendid hall. Listening to the soft whispers of customers, in a corner of the hall, the beautiful female pianist Miaoman played "Swan Lake", with delicious wine and food on the table, fragrant clothes and sideburns around her...... It's all up to someone else. Zhou Ran sat there, just wanting to sing.

At this time. Wang Cheng had already entered the box, and was greeted by a thin and tall Russian who hugged Wang Cheng with open arms, patted Wang Cheng's back affectionately, and said straight in his mouth: "Valentin Valentin, why did you leave the great Russia?" ”

Wang Cheng did not have an excited expression on his face, and after the hug ended, the bodyguard in the house handed over a glass of wine, Wang Cheng did not drink it in his hand, he looked at the guests in the house. Four bodyguards stood in the four corners of the room, and two bodyguards stood behind the door, waiting to open the door to welcome customers. In addition to the person who hugged him, there was also a middle-aged man of forty years old with a big belly and a dignified appearance...... As for the beautiful woman in the house, it can be completely ignored.

Gently putting the wine glass aside, Wang Cheng stared at the person who hugged him, and calmly asked, "We, know?" ”

Ivan, who had just hugged him. Ivanov. Klimant smiled and said: "Forgive me for being so kind to you - I know Oleg, and he solemnly recommended you to me. ”

Oleg is Wang Cheng's witness, a real retired diamond unit, this Oleg lost his left leg and testicles in an operation, and his right leg was seriously injured or even disabled, and is currently staying next to a hot spring in the Belarusian countryside, mainly relying on alimony paid by Wang Cheng to survive, and by the way works as a janitor in the hot spring. …,

It is possible that Oleg is the only attester who can be found at this time, while the rest of the testimonials are either in seclusion or missing.

Wang Cheng was confident that Oleg would not divulge anything, and that the person who introduced Wang Cheng to Oleg was a credible person, and according to Wang Cheng's request, the referrer clearly told Oleg: All he had to do was to prove Wang Cheng's resume and admit that Wang Cheng had been his colleague and friend, and no matter what Wang Cheng did in the future, it had nothing to do with him, and he was not responsible for Wang Cheng's actions......

Wang Cheng believes that a person who has experienced iron-blooded battles will not break his promise, and he firmly believes that Oleg will definitely describe that "comradeship" in detail according to the script prepared in advance. So Wang Cheng still had an indifferent expression, clasped his arms without any mood fluctuations, and looked at Ivan silently. The latter, under his gaze, maintained a warm smile and continued: "I used to be in the predecessor of the diamond troops, when the great Soviet Union had not yet been dissolved, and we were still under the jurisdiction of Russia, and then I came here to do a little business...... We're the same kind of people, and we're fighting in the same place, just a little bit apart. ”

Ivan looked Wang Cheng up and down, and found that Wang Cheng was still the appearance of the old god, and he couldn't see Wang Cheng's attitude from the outside, he coughed and said with appreciation: "Valentin, you are very good, it seems that after leaving Russia, the diamond is not weak, but harder." ”

Ivan turned to the fat man with a big belly next to him and introduced: "Look, this is the former officer of the diamond unit, and the unit he led is the fifth squadron of the first squadron of the first brigade that I once commanded...... Oh, it's called Team E now, but I still think Team 5 is kind. ”

Ivan squinted at Wang Cheng, the serfdom Soviet Union was a hierarchical society, the former captain Ivan said his identity, expecting to get Wang Cheng's tribute, according to the habit he should get this tribute, but no, Wang Cheng was still indifferent, as if what Ivan just said was a fart.

Nima, you said you were the former squad leader, and I recognized it? The reason why I chose the Diamond Corps to create a fake resume is because it is difficult to verify. You came to Paris shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and even if you were really a former squad leader, your resume was destroyed, and there is no evidence of it. How can I trust you?

What's more, the predecessor of the diamond unit was the special task force of the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was under the jurisdiction of the Russian special department, which was once famous - the KGB. When the KGB evacuated, it absolutely tampered with and concealed the resumes of its own personnel. The "squad leader" in front of him is probably one of them, and he came to Paris. Maybe the KGB sent him to Paris to hide his strength.

Didn't get a tribute together. Ivan was only slightly stunned. It immediately dawned on Wang Cheng that he might have guessed his identity - if he still belonged to the Russian intelligence service, then as a former White Russian, there was no need to pay tribute to him.

Ivan raised an eyebrow and continued: "Dear Valentin. Belozovsky. The owner of this restaurant respectfully recommends you to me...... I beg your pardon, you've only been here for two weeks after all. While your introducer is very powerful, I have to be cautious. So I did a little investigation of you: the reason for your retirement was because the squad was wiped out, but not because of your demise. You became a scapegoat. Away from the military - that's what the resume says.

More than 10 days ago, you were in the lobby of a restaurant with black market boxing champion Issa. Aleksandrovich. Pliyev had a collision, Pliyev verbally provoked you, you crippled him, and the whole boxing process took only five seconds. Pliyev was the leader of the mafia Andrei. Rublev's ATM, for which he missed the night's black market boxing match. But Pliev apologizes to you, admits that Pliev offended you - if I had any doubts before. You have proven yourself with your strength. Wang Cheng was able to enter this Russian club with six guarantors, four of whom were business owners of the stocks in which he invested, one of whom was a Russian mafia heavyweight, and the last guarantor was from the Belarusian military smuggling agency -- this person incidentally vouched for the credibility of Wang Cheng's resume. But these well-arranged characters are not as good as Wang Cheng's fists, and since the unexpected conflict with the black market boxing champion, no one has provoked Wang Cheng.

"Dear Valentin. Belozovsky, according to your referees, you are good at organization and planning, and fighting and assault are not your forte, but you have knocked out Pliev. I wasn't there for that boxing match, but I can understand that the martial arts of the military are completely different from the performances in the boxing ring, so Pliev was seriously injured and disabled, and it seems that you have not forgotten this one-hit killing technique, so I thought: you have earned our respect, you can get a permanent free in this restaurant, please accept our friendship. Of course, we hope that you will also treat us as your friends after enjoying the free meal. ”

The so-called "treat us as your friends" is a Russian euphemism, which means: eat ours and drink ours, and you must help when we have something.

Wang Cheng bowed slightly in the demeanor of a standard old Russian nobleman: "Dear Ivan. Ivanov. Crement, we're already friends, and since you're so anxious to find me, can I share your worries by the way? ”

Ivan smiled with satisfaction, and he reached out again to hug Wang Cheng, this time he was more enthusiastic: "My 'family', I've been in a little trouble lately...... See, this is also my dearest 'family', Chekolaev, who has been defrauded of a small sum of money, and I want you to do me a small favor and help him recover it - you can take thirty percent of it. ”

Wang Cheng showed a very embarrassed expression: "Thirty percent...... It depends on the difficulty. Can I know more details? ”

Ivan nodded: "Dear Valentin. Belozovsky, of course you can know the details - you have heard of Alexei. Ivanovich. Yevgeny tycoon? ”

Okay, the people Wang Cheng killed are now going to be dealt with by Wang Cheng again.

"I've heard, I've heard he died recently."

"Yes - poor Alyosha, he came to Cannes for a vacation with a group of children, but he did not expect to die of a drug overdose on the belly of a woman."

Wang Cheng followed up with a question: "It seems that the Cannes police have not yet announced the final conclusions." ”

Ivan waved his hand: "Almost, I got information that the police had suspected murder, but no one wanted him to be killed, which would cause a bloody snatch battle." Since there is no sufficient evidence of murder at the moment, the Cannes police will soon conclude that – you know, the French like to be vague. ”

Wang Cheng pretended to be curious and asked casually: "Why are the police suspicious?" ”

"Memories!" Ivan glanced at Wang Cheng in surprise, and after a pause, he suddenly asked, "You are a reporter now, right?" Don't be so curious, it's a troublesome thing - Chekolaev is one of the victims, and victims like him abound in Russia, and they all keep their eyes open for suspects, and don't invite flies for themselves out of curiosity. ”

"Well, then, you commissioned this thing. Does it have anything to do with Alyosha's death? Being able to inquire in such a roundabout way, Wang Cheng will never let go of this opportunity. He insisted: "If the two incidents are related. I would like to know more. ”

Ivan hesitated: "Well, according to what we know: at the carnival party at that time, the last memory of everyone was dozing. A lot of people can't remember what happened next, and their memories are three hours less. When they are sober. Or find yourself wandering unconsciously in the courtyard, or dancing alone. As for what happened in between, no one remembers - this is the information we got from some secret source. ..., at that time, the same was true of the people who accompanied Alyosha in the room. Their memories likewise disappeared for three hours. What happened in these three hours. People don't know? Alyosha was dead, he could not crawl out of the grave to speak, and the living people had no memory of the three hours, as if there was no such time in their lives.

The autopsy report confirms that Alyosha's death occurred an hour after everyone lost their memories...... Oh, and in the end, a few more people in the villa fell into the pool and drowned. Only these drowned people did not take drugs, but they fell into the pool like drug overdoses and walking corpses. There is no way to save themselves - even if they were very good swimmers during their lifetime.

You know, the French are always so unserious, so dramatic -- the police don't agree with us, the police think that Alyosha did die of a drug overdose, that he could collect drug dust in his respiratory tract, that he had the same dust between his fingernails, that his room was full of drug bags, a lot of drugs, more than the prescribed limit.

We believe that the same kind of people who are partying with Alyosha cannot be expected to resist the temptation of drugs...... So when the police arrived, they found that everyone in the villa had taken drugs, except for a few bodies that drowned in the swimming pool.

Of course, everybody will say that they started taking drugs after they sobered up - and I am convinced of that, because I know the character of several of them, and they can't lie. But the police prefer to believe that Alyosha died of a drug overdose. Unfortunately, the current evidence supports the police's claims, and the medical evidence makes Alexei's cause of death beyond doubt. But where did the missing three-hour memory go? Who stole the three hour memories? Alyosha was on the verge of death an hour after everyone lost his memory, was he awake during this hour, and what did he do during this time? ”

Wang Cheng grinned, and the often stereotypical face suddenly became a little vivid and popular, but this sudden grin frightened the people in the room: "Hehe, do you want me to investigate this matter?" ”

Ivan and Chekolaev exchanged glances, and the latter remained respectful throughout the conversation without saying a word, at which point he cautiously spoke: "Dear Valentin, of course I ......"

Ivan interjected abruptly: "No, the two elephants collided together, and although the fox is smart, it's best to avoid it at this time - I don't recommend investigating this matter, and if anyone is willing to pay for it, it should be Valentin's personal choice." ”

Wang Cheng said coldly: "It's interesting! I was going to open my mouth, but since no one was willing to pay for it, I'd better stay away from it. ”

Ivan nodded approvingly: "Comrade Valentin, I have been able to survive so far, all thanks to my own knowledge. If you want to die in your bed, remember: never challenge someone more than you can do. ”

What this means is that this death is very strange, and the people who can do something like an assassination are amazingly powerful -- don't try to open what they want to hide.

Now that Wang Cheng has been persuaded by himself, Ivan turned to the business: "Chekolaev has a deal with Alexei, and Chekolaev has already paid for it, but he has not received the goods. Alexey's current partner does not admit to the existence of this amount, since the goods are a bit ...... Gray, Chekolaev could not provide proof of receipt of the money, we knew that Alexei was dead, he could not come out to testify, Chekolaev wanted to recover the money, or, at least, confirm that he had paid ......"

Wang Cheng picked up the conversation: "In this way, in the legal sense, this money does not exist at all, the only person who can prove its existence is dead, and this money may be a cash transaction ......"..., Chekolaev truncated Wang Cheng's words: "This money is worth 700 million rubles, and it is impossible to use the cash model." It's just that the accounts on both sides of the transaction are hidden. Our bank can confirm that the money is out of our account and that the other party's account has received it, but now Alexey's partner does not admit that this receiving account exists and belongs to Alexey. In reality, the account was closed almost at the same time as Alexei's death - which we did to find out as best we could. Now what I want to know is: who took this money from me? Get it back. You can get thirty percent of it. ”

Ha, doesn't that make me check my right hand with my left hand?

It's not a good money. Besides, Wang Cheng didn't want to make it look like he was responsive. He shook his head and refused: "Ivan Ivan." You're an old-timer, too, and you just said you wanted to stay away from it, and now you're asking me to check Alexei's account - I remember how many times you called Alexei by Alyosha's nickname. You must know him well, right? Why don't you earn this money? ”

Ivan asked slyly, "What if it's to win my friendship?" ”

"I'd rather not have this kind of friendship", Wang Cheng resumed his cold face: "You also came down from the Cold War period." You should know where similar chemical weapons exist and who is entitled to possess them - doesn't that mean that the French police hastily concluded their investigation? ”

Ivan sighed. With a deep sense of surprise, he said, "I didn't expect this...... But the French police hastily concluded the investigation. I know what the reason is - a burned communications vehicle was found at the scene, this vehicle is a common type used by intelligence agencies, but all national intelligence agencies have denied that the vehicle has been lost, and the matter is too sensitive for the French police to be vague.

Ah, I figured it out. The weapon you just spoke of should have been burned. That's right, it was on the Incineration Directory, and it should have disappeared from this world seven years ago. ”

"But it's there now, suspicious, but very likely. However, no one will admit that it exists - that's the point! ”

Ivan was stunned for a long time before he slowly stood up and said, "It's really a pleasure to talk to you, please forgive me for saying goodbye for a while......"

Wang Cheng immediately stopped: "I just had my suspicions, but I hope you don't express my suspicions -- the large-scale destruction of (chemical weapons) seven years ago, the international monitoring system is very perfect, if it still exists, it will be a super scandal." To cover up the scandal, all those in the know will be hunted down. ”

Ivan opened his mouth for a long time: "This is too shocking, who did Alexei treat to be assassinated with this weapon?" ”

Wang Cheng replied calmly: "That's why I left Mother Russia - the oligarchs have divided all the benefits and left no crumbs of bread for the people." Now, because there are no other crumbs of bread for them to prey on except for the interests of their own hands, they are starting to dog-eat-dog. And you and I didn't hide in Paris to get involved in that scramble again. ”

As Wang Cheng spoke, his fingers flicked unconsciously on the table - this was not actually unconscious, it was Morse code. The old-school spy Ivan noticed Wang Cheng's gesture, his face was not unusual, and he made a very alert state, first went to the door of the box and peeked out for a while, as if he was observing the finished eating, holding a cup of old and looking around at Zhou Ran, and then turned around, and sighed while walking towards the window: "If your guess is confirmed, then this is really a shocking thing, and everyone may be in danger from now on...... How likely do you think this is? ”

Chekolaev's eyes revolved around Ivan, and he turned to Wang Cheng and said in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything? ”

Wang Cheng looked at Chekolaev with pity: "We were talking about a chemical weapon just now, if it is confirmed that this chemical weapon was used in the death of Alexei, then this is the hand of the state power, plus the strange burning intelligence and communication vehicle near the villa, this matter can be almost eighty percent certain...... You don't need to know about it, though. ”

"Dear Valentin. Belozovsky, my ...... about that? Chekolaev replied carefully.

At this time, Ivan was standing in front of the window, leaning over to look out into the street, and as he looked around, he muttered: "Varentin, how can I repay you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, the bodyguard standing behind Chekolaev flipped his hands and put a wire between his hands around Chekolaev's neck......
