Chapter 347: Prelude to Operation Ireland
More than 160 people were assassinated in a row, and although these people were all members of the underworld, the successive deaths of so many people would definitely cause a lot of social shock. At that time, even if the local police want to suppress this matter, the international community may not understand. Therefore, once this case is exposed, no matter what forces can hide it, and if the perpetrator is not careful, even the slightest clue will be recorded by Interpol.
What to do if you are recorded by Interpol - only to be a "good person" who is thorough and does not care about gains and losses.
Walking on the road, spitting, there may be a police officer who stops you, records your ID card and prepares to fine you, and then they find out that there is a problem with your identity, so they ...... So you can't do this kind of thing, you have to hold back the phlegm.
When driving on the road and throwing a cigarette butt from the car, you have to be careful to be photographed by the police, and then check your license plate and ID card...... So you must never do this kind of thing, the cigarette butt must be placed in the car, and when the ashtray in the car needs to be cleaned, you have to be careful to empty it in the garbage can. Even if you have a piece on your shoulder, you can't blow it to the ground, because this is also suspected of littering.
How painful it is to be such a good person!
So this case seems to have a big bounty, but there are few people willing to take the job. Because there must be one hundred and sixty-seven ways for these one hundred and sixty-seven people to die, and each person must have a different way of dying, so that people can believe that it was an accident.
These people can't die together, the population of a foreigner city is not large, and the media does not accept the police to control it, so many corpses suddenly came to the morgue, even if it was an accident, it was big news, and the reporter's nose smelled such a strange incident, and he would definitely open the secret without reluctance...... The next step is to repeat the previous words to the perpetrator: be a good person from now on, be simple, and never ask for anything in return. A good person who has no self-interest and only benefits others.
This quest doesn't sound like a trap, but it's definitely a trap. Whoever dares to take on such a figure will definitely be in trouble in the future.
This task should have been tacitly approved by the "angels", at least the client had been instructed by the "angels" - as Constance said earlier, it was in their interests. Coincides with their most recent goals. Considering that the timing of this mission is so coincidental, and the purpose of Constan's mention of "Ireland" is to deter Wang Cheng, it is more likely that the client was directly guided by the "angel", and it is even possible that the "angel" person directly placed the order for the client.
What are the interests of Constein? Drug trafficking and smuggling certainly violated the police's bottom line, but the Celts were in a group, and they would rather take revenge on their families than tell outsiders. As a result, the police were unable to obtain evidence to prosecute, so they acquiesced to the victim's family offering a bounty for vendetta β which was also in keeping with the Celtic character.
Of course, once this incident is exposed, the police will not admit that they are involved -- this is what the intelligence community often calls "dirty work." This kind of dirty work has always been carried out by pipeline dredging workers who have close ties with the police and the military, and the plumbers are not helped by the police when performing their tasks, and the police are not relentless when they are in pursuit. And the best-case scenario: the police are taking "negligence" for granted where they can be negligent.
"Why? Why me? Wang Cheng asked with a calm face: "What do you mean by 'designation'?" β
The other party paused slightly, and immediately replied seemingly sincerely: "This is a big case, a city hunt." Although the 'rabbits' are all ordinary goods. But there are so many that it takes a super master to deal with it.
Let's be honest, this matter is sensitive. Once exposed, the company will also be involved, so we need a super master who has little to do with the company and is competent...... Who do you think could be more suitable in this situation than you? β
β¦,
That's right, once this matter is exposed, not only the perpetrator will be held accountable, but the company to which the operator belongs will also be dealt with. In this case, it has been on the periphery of the company. Wang Cheng, who is about to leave the company recently, has become the only choice: he is high enough and has enough helpers, and if it is exposed afterwards, the company only needs to advance the time for Wang Cheng to leave the company, or directly deny the employee relationship with Wang Cheng. Then all is well.
This matter is really the most suitable for Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng is no more, no less, and he is the only person who meets the requirements.
Nima's cheating thing also made Wang Cheng encounter.
But don't you agree? The angel company threatened Wang Cheng with this matter, and the Phoenix Company threw off the burden of this matter, as long as Wang Cheng should undertake this matter, he paid off all the debts!
So he had to say yes...... It's just that Wang Cheng was still a little puzzled, and he asked: "How much is the company going to take a cut of this case?" β
The other party choked for a moment and immediately replied, "As usual!" β
Wang Cheng followed up with the last sentence: "So what help is the company ready to provide?" β
The "trade unions" are coming to the door, and the company still takes a 50% cut according to the usual practice? Well, you count your regular commission, so are you doing the usual help you deserve?
This problem seems to be the opponent's army, and it is not a company practice to take money and do nothing. But this time the company wanted to get rid of the burden, and besides, this matter was extremely sensitive, and the company did not want to expose its involvement with the perpetrators. So the other party was silent for a minute, as if discussing with each other, and after a while, the other party replied: "Okay, this time the company only takes thirty percent." β
"You just don't want to help?" Drink human blood! Why don't you do anything, just be an intermediary broker and take away 30% of the commission money? No wonder there are so many sympathizers in the "unions". You said that if I were an employee of your company, I would have no problem with you taking so much. Now I'm just working for you, and you're exploiting so much, okay?
"I asked for a 40% deposit first, this case is too big, too much arms are needed, I have to get enough start-up money! I also ask that the company continue to make the next instalment as the case progresses. For example, when half of the people died, I asked for half of the money; After the death of eight adults, I asked for direct payment of the full amount.
Besides, whatever the company's excuses, I had to get support to infiltrate the city - if I didn't have that, I thought it was a dead letter, and I had the right to refuse. β
The other party obviously thought that Wang Cheng would inevitably make a request, and this time they answered quickly, as if Wang Cheng's request was still within their bottom line. "Well, I can give you the names of four people, two of whom are our clients...... Although we never provide the information of the principal. But the stakes are too high, and we understand your intent to seek assurance. With the name of a client, you should believe that the case is not a trap or a frame-up.
You can contact the client right away. The other two contacts are also principals and will be responsible for picking you up and arranging your accommodation......"
It seems that Phoenix Company is also very cautious about this case, and directly asks the client to entrust with his real name when accepting the case. At this time, they shook out the client, which was also a kind of protection for Wang Cheng...... Well, Wang Cheng accepted it.
After accepting the information provided by Phoenix Company, Wang Cheng greeted the Titans who were standing guard on the side of the road: "Come here...... The assignment I just received. I think you've also been struck off from the company. The task is...... Since I received this commission, I am no longer a member of the company. But the company didn't recall you, you know what that means? β
The Titan lowered his head, and after a moment he looked up and asked, "What is the bottom of the mission?" How much can we get? β
Wang Cheng didn't mean to hide it at all: "The bottom of the bid is 70% of 230 million pounds, and the huΔ fee will be deducted from it, and I will take 40% of it afterwards, and you will divide the rest equally." What do you think? β
β¦,
The Titan groaned and said, "Excluding huΔ fees, one percent is 16.1 million pounds. Total $25.76 million...... I need to talk to my team about it. β
Wang Cheng waved his hand and turned to walk towards Zhou Ran. Behind him, the Titan began to beckon the crew to disassemble the satellite communication equipment. While discussing in a low voice, Zhou Ran saw Wang Cheng coming over, and asked very casually: "It's all bright, why have we parked on the side of the road for so long, and no one or a car has appeared?" β
Wang Cheng stretched out his hand to hug Zhou Ran, and replied with a smile: "This is the advantage of Ireland - the population of Sligo City is only 100,000, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and there are less than ten people on the road a day. β
Zhou Ran was wearing a short Russian blue fox fur jacket with the same white fox fur hat, and a pair of white rubber duck snow boots under black leather pants. The furry stood on the side of the road, like a blue fox jumping out of the forest. She shrunk into Wang Cheng's arms and giggled and asked, "When are we leaving...... What else does Ireland have besides these landscapes? β
Wang Cheng knew what Zhou Ran wanted to say, he hugged Zhou Ran and walked a few steps, and said as he walked: "If you want to shop, you can go to London, the propeller plane at Dublin Airport." You can take off and land anytime and anywhere, fly to London in an hour, and return the same day after shopping, which is very convenient...... I'm not just here for a vacation, I have something to do, but I'll find someone to keep you company......"
Behind him, the Titan shouted at the right time, "Sir, can you come over for a moment?" β
Wang Cheng let go of Zhou Ran, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Get in the car, wait for me in the car." β
When the Titan saw Wang Cheng approaching, he immediately asked, "Sir, is your female companion also going to participate in the sharing?" β
Wang Cheng pointed to Zhou Ran, who was climbing into the car: "This can't work, but the one sleeping in the car must be involved." β
Natasha interjected: "Five people, counting her, we only have five people, and to do such a big case, we obviously don't have enough manpower." β
Wang Cheng nodded in agreement: "I can gather ten mercenaries, they can do a little rough work, and they only need to pay rent." I still have two members of the team who can be mobilized, one is good at computer communication and the other is good at makeup. β
"That's enough!" Titan responded: "I told you all about the situation just now, obviously, the company can no longer recognize us, only by completing this task and not revealing yourself can we be accepted by the company again." Ahem, if the company doesn't accept us, we'll have to live on this fee for the rest of our lives. Twenty million is not a lot, but it is not much, and if it is used to escape, this money is enough for a cosmetic surgery (the price of a top-level cosmetic surgery is 20 million dollars), and then hide in a place and be destitute...... But we've heard of you, we've heard that you never expect the mission to survive, maybe, I mean maybe, it would be better if we could be paid a little higher, and we could share the rest of your harvest. β
Wang Cheng snorted and laughed: "My fame is so big? β
Natasha twisted her waist and stuck to Wang Cheng's body and said coquettishly: "Sir, this is a war against the entire drug trafficking network, and the police don't count how much money can be precipitated in this drug trafficking network." Our task is to eliminate those people in all its entirety - what property do the dead need? β
"Deal - I don't know how much money they have on hand to promise you a specific amount...... In this way, you can get 10% of the extra gain, but you must listen to me completely in action! β
"Two Cheng" Natasha whispered to Wang Cheng's ear. Wang Cheng also hugged Natasha unceremoniously. He kissed him hard and replied, "One into five, no moreβmy people have to share too, and there is not much meat." β
"Five out of five - ten mercenaries are not enough. It takes a lot of people to follow and stalk, and it also requires countless listening devices, vehicles, and firearms, and the cost of this case is staggering, and it is really worrying how much money will be left after removing the cost." Natasha continued to be coquettish.
"From now on, no one is allowed to communicate with the outside world, and all actions are under my command," Wang Cheng urged: "Get in the car, we are running out of time." β
β¦,
The convoy eventually drove into a mountain village on the outskirts of Sligo. Behind this lodge are sprawling hills - there are no high mountains in all of Ireland, and the highest peak in the country, Mount Carantou, is only 1,041 metres above sea level. The sprawling hills used to have two large lakes that were divided, and the large lakes were surrounded by numerous swamps. Animals and plants are extremely abundant. Cross the Great Lake and you'll be in Northern Ireland.
This mountain villa belongs to Wang Cheng, and at the same time belongs to Wang Cheng's name, as well as hundreds of acres of land outside the villa - of course. It is hung under a pseudonym of Wang Cheng. The Irish marshes were rich in peat, and a coal mine was opened on the land owned by the cottage, and the main income of the cottage was from the coal.
The villa employs three families, one of whom is a huΔ craftsman, and the husband and wife are responsible for taking care of the villa's huΔ garden; In another family, the wife is a janitor at the lodge, and the man is a ranger and driver. The man in the last family was a housekeeper, and his wife was a cook.
This is a typical Irish farming family: it has its own land and hunting dogs, and its produce is supplied by its own tenants. Wild animals are produced in their own swamps, and they can be hunted by themselves or by the rangers. Running a small business keeps you from worrying about money. But that property was also built on one's own land. Everything you need in life is self-produced and sold, and you can be self-sufficient for many years behind closed doors...... Oh, and never worry about money, basically stay abroad and travel around, leaving the home completely in the hands of the housekeeper.
The car was parked in his garage - there was also a propeller plane in the garage. Wang Cheng beckoned Zhou Ran to get out of the car, and picked up Kai Lì, who was still asleep. Kailì slept to death. has been carried into her bedroom by Wang Cheng, and she has never opened her eyelids.
There are not usually so many people living in the villa, and many rooms are closed. Wang Cheng came back very suddenly, and the housekeeper apologized when he opened the closed room, but the strong men who went home with the master did not say a word, and after they were settled, they turned around and went to the car to pick up their luggage, and they brought large military suitcases, and then they withdrew the housekeeper from the door and closed the door to assemble those instruments.
At this time, Wang Cheng had already sat in the living room, chatting with the housekeeper's wife, talking about the situation of the "Farewell Queen" villa. The housekeeper's wife, who was also a cook, made a pot of black tea, and her daughter baked a small round biscuit, and Wang Cheng looked like an Irish rich man, chatting with them warmly. After a while, Zhou Ran settled his luggage, came down from upstairs, and asked happily, "What are the arrangements for today?" β
The housekeeper's wife got up and was about to pour tea for Zhou Ran, Wang Cheng hurriedly got up and took the teapot and poured it for Zhou Ran diligently-he had to do it himself.
The KGB once trained pornographic spies to seduce their targets with men and women. One of the things that is repeatedly emphasized in the training materials is that you must make the other person feel dependent on you before you can conquer his or her body and mind. And the so-called trick to create a sense of dependence is: take care of yourself.
For example, if the other person is cooking, you have to stay in the kitchen to chat with each other, and help the other person turn off the fire after cooking - it is best to get the other person used to this kind of care over time, and develop the habit of not turning off the fire after cooking, then ...... Then on the day of leaving you, the other party will think of you every time he cooks a meal, and he (she) will feel a huge surprise when he or she regains you, which will produce the psychology of not being able to leave you, and then you let the other party go to the soup, and the other party will not hesitate.
It is said that these training materials are occasionally leaked out in Russia and are used as a secret to cultivating the relationship between husband and wife and maintaining family ties...... However, in the espionage training materials, more emphasis is placed on allowing the "crow" or "swallow" to focus on the details of life -- details that are easy to remember and easy to make the other party habitual. For example, every time you open the door by yourself before entering the door, if the other party takes out the key, you must help pull it out after opening the door; For example, sitting at the table and chatting, the teapot must be in your hands...... and so on. Life magazine said the courtesies were motivated by loving concern, and spy training materials referred to it as "behavior manipulation."
β¦,
When the sleeping Kailì tried to leave, her mind kept wandering around the two or three things she was doing by Wang Cheng's side...... Of course, she knew the training materials of "Crow" and "Swallow", and did not regard Wang Cheng's behavior as out of love. But it was these details that swirled in her mind that made her always feel that she had lost something by this departure, and she felt flustered and unable to control her desire to go back......
Zhou Ran didn't know the training materials of "Crow" and "Swallow", she felt a strong love, so she smiled at Wang Cheng: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty, I just want to know tonight...... Oh, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, how do we celebrate? β
"Ray. Mr. Stevenson," interjected the housekeeper's wife, "We just caught two golden pheasants - thank God, it's still under the hunting quota of the animal protection organization." We still have a few thrushes, and then we slaughter a sheep and a turkey, and it's a great New Year's feast......"
Zhou Ran said unwillingly: "But I want to go to the city and feel the New Year's atmosphere of the city." β
The doorbell of the courtyard rang, and the housekeeper's wife went to the window and looked around, and said, "It's Sheriff, Ray. Mr. Stevenson doesn't come home very often, and the sheriff probably came to greet you when he saw your convoy back. β
Outside the door was not only the sheriff's car, but also a brown sign parked, and the person in the car was poking out and talking to the sheriff - this person was the prop master who was in charge of providing Wang Cheng with the van.
