Chapter 68: Perseverance

"Miss Mary, please slow down!" Mary, dressed in a princess dress, ran into the dining room and sat down in her seat, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and looked at Blakeney, who was pretending to be old and walking with her hands behind her back with a square step.

"Schwartz, don't worry about her, she doesn't know what aristocratic etiquette is!" Blakeney raised his head high and said arrogantly.

"Master Blakeney!" An old butler in his fifties shook his head a little embarrassed as he looked at the two stunned teenagers.

"Schwartz, leave them alone!" Xu Mo walked out of the corner of the restaurant, sat down on the main seat of the strip table, and said to the old butler in front of him.

After Xu Mo and his family moved into the Gothic Manor, he hired a few servants through a local office. Because the manor is large, at least a gardener, a cook, a driver, and two maids are needed to clean up.

However, the old butler in front of him, called Schwartz, was not recruited in Sweden. Schwartz was Germanic, well trained in aristocratic etiquette and had served the German aristocracy in Berlin. Later, because the elderly nobleman died of illness, and his children were unwilling to hire Schwartz anymore, he was recommended to Xu Mo by Witz.

Schwartz is a rigorous and meticulous worker, proficient in financial management and housekeeping, not only an expert in etiquette, but also a musician. After entering the manor, in just a few days, everyone had a feeling of home, which made Xu Mo very satisfied.

"I'm going back to space tomorrow, I really hope to rest for a few more days!" Dina entered the restaurant, hugged Xu Mo from behind, and said nostalgically.

"We'll be back!" Xu Mo patted Dinah's hand and said comfortingly, "Sit down and eat!" ”

……

"Captain Yan Lang, he is the anti-smuggling police officer of the Los Angeles Customs!" A Chinese young man chewed gum in his mouth and pointed to a sloppy middle-aged white man who was drunk at the door of the bar.

"Bai Wen, you didn't recognize the wrong person! I heard that the anti-smuggling policeman spent time in the Marine Corps in the United States, and this homeless man doesn't look like a soldier! Another arrogant-looking Chinese youth said.

"Yang Shuang, you go and confirm, if it's him, take him to the car, I'm afraid that Xu Mo's whereabouts will fall on this customs anti-smuggling police named Renault." Captain Yan Lang rolled down the window of his Ford and looked around vigilantly, "During this time, there have been many violent cases in China, and two of our five groups of personnel who came to the United States have also been transferred back. We must find Xu Mo as soon as possible and find out the root cause of these incidents. ”

"Yes, Captain!" Yang Shuang put away his arrogant expression and replied seriously.

Half an hour later, the Ford pulled up in a small abandoned warehouse, and Bai Wen and Yang Shuang lifted the tall former Marine Renaud Steck out of the car and tied him to a chair.

"Damn, this pig is so heavy!" Bai Wen chewed gum, didn't know where to get a bucket of water, and poured it on Renault.

"Ahh Renault shuddered and opened his eyes in a daze.

"Renaud Steck?" Yan Lang put on a plastic mask and made a cold mechanical sound with a voice changer.

"Hey, I'll pay it back, who are you? Old Hans? Taylor? Haha, man, your mask is ugly! Renault wrestled his arms and found that his limbs were tied, so he stopped struggling and laughed absently.

"Looks like you're looking for the wrong person, Officer Renault, do you know this person?" Yan Lang took out a photo of Xu Mo when he was beating and put it in front of Renault.

"Officer? I'm not a police officer anymore, hahaha! Renault laughed wildly, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes, "Who is this person?" I don't know! ”

"Renault, take a closer look!" Bai Wen said impatiently.

"Lao Tzu said that if you don't know, you won't know!" Renault returned with a sneer.

"Smack!" Yang Shuang slapped Renault in the face violently, knocking him to the ground with a chair, "Be honest!" ”

"Phew!" Renault, who was picked up again, spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground, a trace of cold light oozed from his eyes, staring at Yang Shuang coldly, and no longer spoke.

"Bang bang bang!" Immediately, the sound of intermittent torture sounded in the warehouse......

"Hey, use some force, boy, how are your fists like!" A trace of blood trickled down from the corner of Renault's mouth and said indistinctly. Despite the puffiness of a pig's head, he struggled to keep his eyes wide and glared viciously at the three men in front of him.

"Captain!" Yang Shuang stopped the torture, gasped a few times, and turned his head to look at Yan Lang.

At this point, all three of them knew they had run into the trickiest kind of person. If it was in China, they wouldn't care if Renault was a tough guy or not, but there was a way to get him to speak. However, this is the United States, they have no more choice, and if Renault has been stubborn to the end, the three of them are really helpless.

"Since you don't recognize this person, then you should know the person in this photo!" Yan Lang pondered for a while, changed the photo again, and put it in front of Renault.

"Lao Tzu said, Lao Tzu doesn't recognize ......" Renault was about to deny it, but he stopped talking, his pupils narrowed rapidly, and his face turned hideous, "This is...... That Japanese monkey! ”

"Looks like you recognize him!" A smile appeared on Yan Lang's face behind his mask, "We're here to hunt down this person, I hope you can tell me what you know!" ”

"It's all caused by this Japanese monkey!" Renault muttered in distraction, "Otherwise, how could I get drunk and cause a fire in the customs warehouse, and even lose my last job opportunity!" ”

"Officer Renault, we've also investigated that fire, actually...... We feel like it's not your fault, someone should have set it on purpose, and then blamed you! Yang Shuang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Renault the truth, this tough guy of the anti-smuggling police withstood his torture and won his respect.

"What...... Are you serious? Is it really not my fault to say that? Renault's eyes widened in shock, and he looked expectantly at the three masked men who had kidnapped him.

"Yes! We have some special abilities that can find clues that ordinary people can't detect, such as the ...... at the fire scene" Yan Lang hesitated, but still told Renault about the suspicious points and conclusions of their team about the fire, "However, more than half a month has passed since this evidence, and the police won't believe it!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... Renault muttered, "I just want to know the truth, whoever you are, thank you!" You can show me the two more pictures you just took from you. ”

"The last of these two photos is probably the Japanese monkey I saw, and the other one is ...... All I can say is that his temperament is very similar! After carefully comparing the two photos, Renault finally frowned and said.

Yan Lang and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the excitement in the eyes of their companions, only part of the appearance of the people in the two photos was the same, and it seemed that they were two people at a glance. Yan Lang and the others had never seen Kobayashi Hidenori face to face, and they couldn't confirm whether this Japanese was the Xu Mo they suspected, so it was necessary for someone like Renault who had a conflict with Xu Mo and was very impressed to identify the difference between the two.

"Officer Renault, can you tell us where this Kobayashi Shuze went after the conflict with you?" Bai Wen asked back.

"Let me think about it...... I remember asking my boss at customs, and it seemed to be ...... New York! Yes, it's New York! The Japanese monkey had said that his girlfriend was a reporter for the New York Times and had used her to threaten us at the time. A gleam erupted in Renault's eyes.

"Thank you, Officer Renault, when we get out, we'll call the police right away, and you'll be saved soon!" After getting the exact news, Yan Lang and the three of them immediately got into the Ford car and drove away from the warehouse.

"I remember, inside the warehouse that caught fire, there seems to be a container of contraband belonging to Japanese gangsters!" Renault's bound hands clenched into fists tightly, his arms were bruised, and his deep words popped out of his teeth like ice slag, "Japanese monkey, you wait for me......"

……

"Ready? We're going to fight again! Xu Mo stood in the field a few miles away from the manor, looked back at a few companions, and said with a smile.
