Chapter 161: Joints
This town is not big, I called Jack first when I walked out of the station, I want to confirm where Xiao Ting is, don't let this girl make the fat man unable to hold his breath, it will be troublesome to run to Beipanjiang Town. As a result, I took out the phone and saw that there were more than a dozen missed calls and text messages, all of which belonged to Jack, and it was very dense in terms of time, just four or five hours ago. During that time, I was like a frightened bird, my brain was messed up, and my phone was in vibration mode, and I guess the earthquake might not wake me up at that time.
I hurriedly made a phone call.
Jack was very upset and asked me, "Why don't you answer the phone, what's wrong?" ”
He sprays me in front of me now, I can only endure it, calling me so intensively, there must be something urgent, and anyone has to be in a hurry. I had no choice but to curse the fat man on the phone and explain the situation at the same time.
Jack was excited to hear this. "That's... It's a good thing, maybe it can be used. ”
I listened to his sluggling tone, and I guess Xiao Ting was a little relieved that he was by his side. "Okay, let's not talk about that. What are you anxious to find me? Found Cao Mingzhe? ”
"Nope. He went into the mountains. Now there is a problem, we have found someone here who recognizes Cao Mingzhe and knows which direction he entered the mountain, but the mountain here is too dense and complicated, and it is impossible for us to find him. In addition, there will be no communication signal soon after entering the mountain, and our own safety cannot be guaranteed, so I have asked the Hong Kong side to send us two satellite telephones and the necessary equipment to enter the mountain. We also have a large personnel gap, Xiao Ting and I can't conduct a large-scale search, my opinion is to ask AOE to provide us with a team of professional search and rescue personnel to search for Cao Mingzhe in the mountains. Of course, it's up to you to make an idea, and you're the boss. ”
As soon as I heard Jack say this, I got angry, my boss didn't have any money, of course he had no problem making this suggestion, as long as I nodded, the funds would be in place immediately. If this is my opinion, then whether it can be implemented depends on his attitude, and this boss is really heartwarming.
I quickly thought about the current situation, Cao Mingzhe had just entered the mountain, if we acted in time, it was still possible to find the traces left by him entering the mountain, and it was possible to catch up with him and find him accordingly. After all, his age did not allow him to move too fast in the mountains.
The question now is how to deal with Ah Xiang's gang, Ah Xiang is very likely to know the inside story of Xiao Guolin's transaction with Wu Qitai, and he may even be one of the participating traders. But this is all speculation, definitely not as sure as Wu Qitai, I am worried that if my judgment is wrong, there will be no chance to get this information again. That is, it is not advisable to use strong means to obtain information, and I decided to buy the message. They bleed on the knife edge, and all they did was money, and I felt that as long as they gave him enough benefits, he would not necessarily not tell the truth.
"I have to get the information about Xiao Guolin's trade with the Vietnamese gang first, how much financial support can you provide? This information can only be bought. I said to Jack in a steady tone.
There was unsurprisingly silent for a moment on the other end of the line. "500,000. Damn, you've taken half a million and you haven't gotten anything of value, and if you go on like this, I'm not going to give you a dollar. ”
"Deal." I'll say right away; "Put the money into my account, and I'll talk to Ah Xiang right away."
"Not now, not here, I want to ask Hong Kong to transfer the money to you, there is not even a bank here, and the money will arrive in about half an hour." It seems that I spend so much money, Jack Jack is a little unbearable, and he speaks upside down.
"Okay, I got it. Call me when the money arrives. And you can contact a few guides over there, and you may not be able to get out of this mountain without a guide. I'm going to see Ah Xiang right now and wish me good luck. ”
Jack said something in English, which was supposed to be slang, but I didn't understand it. Listen to the tone not like a blessing. I was worried that Xiao Ting would get the news of me and the fat man, and I couldn't hold my breath and come in, so I didn't care about asking Jack about the meaning of this sentence, and quickly hung up the phone.
The fat man watched me hang up the phone and stomped his feet in a hurry. "I still have something to say, why did you hang up."
"Stay and go." I said angrily: "Let you connect the phone and cause me so much trouble, don't talk about this matter in the future, my phone is not open to whistleblowers." ”
"Is the phone good that I bought, why can't I call?" The fat man retorted justifiably.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight to the agreed meeting place. There was only one decent hotel in this town, and we made an appointment to meet there, and the town was small, so we didn't have to ask anyone when we saw the hotel at a glance.
Ah Xiang chartered a quadruple room in the hotel, and when I went in, all four of them were in the room. Ah Xiang and another Vietnamese I knew, they were two of the four Vietnamese who set out from Luang Nam Ta, and I didn't know the other two people in the room.
I looked at the four of them, pointed to the fat man and said to Ah Xiang, "This is my helper." ”
Ah Xiang looked at the fat man and frowned, it seemed that the fat man's figure gave him a lot of pressure. He didn't refer to any specific person, but just introduced it in general terms: "They are the people I brought with me." ”
We set off late, two days later than the agreed time, although I said in advance that it was possible to come later, but the late arrival still made Ah Xiang very dissatisfied. He had introduced a few of his people, pointed to a map on the table and said, "This is our purpose." ”
I poked my head over and froze. The place he was pointing to was actually near Bangui Township. This made me think strangely, could we have the same destination? That's bizarre. Cao Mingzhe has often disappeared over the years, no one knows where he went, Xiao Ting and Jack have done their best to track down Banguixiang this time, and it is very difficult to continue to find Cao Mingzhe's specific whereabouts, I believe that even Xiao Ting will not have much hope for this, just doing her best to obey the fate of heaven.
I looked down at the map carefully for a while, and the place he pointed to was to the west of Bangui Township, near the Beipan River. Judging from the scale, it is three or five hundred miles away from Bangui Township. I didn't answer him immediately, pretending to study the map carefully, nervously thinking about this possibility. The problem now is that I just talked to Jack on the phone, and I didn't ask Cao Mingzhe the direction in which he left Bangui Township, so I can't tell if the place where Cao Mingzhe went is in the same direction as the place that Ah Xiang pointed out. I can't make a risky decision that pops up in my mind.
I stole a glance at the fat man and saw that he was also looking at me with an expression of urgency, and it was clear that he also saw that the two things might be related. Seeing that I was finally willing to look at him, the fat man nodded at me slightly, and the meaning was self-evident: to act with them.
I immediately looked away. You don't have to look at it to think that he wants to do this vote in every possible way, and of course he agrees with both hands for this kind of thing. I don't think so, I have to be sure of one thing, I'm going to wait for a call.
PS: Monday tickets are so few. Ask for a few tickets, and don't fall out of the recommendation list.
