Chapter 532: Exposed?

"Frank, can't you just keep a low profile? Is it so difficult to forge an identity that can go to the library, and don't set fire to the house at every turn, okay? Johnny looked through the window and saw in the distance that black smoke was still rising in the direction of the Liverpool City Library, five hours after Frank, the initiator of the fire, had joined the meeting.

"Well, I'd like to keep a low profile, but Elizabeth's hound seems to smell something, so it's better to keep the tail of the hand clean." As he spoke, Frank threw two silver badges from Scotland Yard onto the oak table.

"Does it have anything to do with Mr. J?" Johnny picked up one of the badges and examined it.

"Not necessarily, it may have something to do with our old Smith's nest." Frank said.

These two badges were found by Frank on the two big men who tried to charm Johnny, well, judging by his style of "borrowing" a few newspapers and burning down the library, the original owners of these badges must have been more than lucky.

Friends who have watched "Sherlock Holmes" probably know that Scotland Yard refers to the Metropolitan Police Department in London, which was named after the medieval palace where the Scottish aristocracy stayed when they visited London.

The question then becomes, why did the detectives at Scotland Yard, who is responsible for the policing of the London Region, have their eyes on Johnny on the ground in Liverpool? Is it because Mr. J's unseemly business has affected them, or is it because their bloody revenge on the old Smith gang has attracted plainclothes police?

"Perhaps worse, Scotland Yard in this era also has some major national tasks, such as protecting the royal family, high-ranking officials of the British government, etc., and we are not suspected of any adverse intentions against these people, right?" A middle-aged white man named Joel said.

Joel's conjectures are not unfounded, their methods are indeed different from those of ordinary thieves, and their obsession with only exchanging cash has led to a lot of speculation about their behavior as if they were trying to hide the source of their funds.

"Let Brand take care of the supplies, and we'll try not to go out for the next few days, and we'll leave for Prussia when we have enough supplies." Johnny said to his members of the action team.

Unlike Lu Xiaobei, a half-baked intelligence officer who was transferred from a combat medic, Johnny, who has been systematically trained, is very cautious, even if the imaginary enemy is the British counterintelligence agency more than a hundred years ago.

Even though he didn't even have a working radio communication device, Johnny insisted on placing a member of the team in Liverpool who had no direct contact with the rest of the team - Brand.

In a centuries-old market near Liverpool Docks, Brand, disguised as the chef of a cod fishing boat, is procuring much-needed supplies for the Virginia-class nuclear submarine lurking off the coast of Liverpool Harbour.

Not only did the seaside market provide a place for returning boats to sell their catch, but it was also home to a large number of vendors serving the fishermen, and Brand was able to easily procure enough supplies for the crew.

Of course, the cautious Brand didn't follow Captain Abu's shopping list. If he followed the list that the group of Chinese foodies handed over to their captain, he could be exposed at any time.

Am I pretending to be a chef serving a cod fishing ship instead of the executive chef of a cruise ship? Look what those foodies are craving! "A little caviar" - there is such a ridiculous purchase item on the list! Also caviar! It's really hard for you to be in the water, why don't you go to heaven?

Butter, smoked bacon, sausages, air-dried beef, Brand doesn't care about the British's poor food preparation skills, he only picks high-calorie, protein-rich foods, which Nima does like a ship-to-ship chef who is about to go fishing in the icy seas!

Scruffy velvet hats, beards that look like they haven't shaved in months, and Brand even padded some cotton into his clothes to make himself look like a greasy, bloated chef.

Brand's caution did pay off, as two plainclothes detectives took him for a cook on a fishing boat who had just arrived in Liverpool to restock, showed him two striking black-and-white photographs, and asked him if he had spotted or heard of anyone encountering or fishing for the two men in the nearby waters.

The two detectives from more than 100 years ago were obviously not familiar with the routine of the field work of the X Bureau, and after pretending to be crazy and selling stupid nonsense, Brand got the information from the detectives that the two people in the photo were their colleagues and they had disappeared the night before.

Although he hadn't met with the rest of the field team since he landed, Brand learned through a note Frank had placed in the suitcase containing the cash that he had killed two Scotland Yard agents the night before.

The time when the two unlucky Scotland Yard guys were killed by Frank coincides with the time when the two lost contact in the photo in the detectives' hands, and if nothing else, the person in the photo should be the tail that Frank disposed of for Johnny.

It's only been a day since they were lost before a massive search for the two Scotland Yard hapless people began to be on a mission that their colleagues considered dangerous. According to some merchants and sailors in the market, the police have launched a dragnet search along the coast. That's a bit interesting, this search is too targeted, just staring at the beach, are we showing something? Brand thought to himself.

In this market, which specializes in ocean-going vessels, it didn't take much time for Brand to scrape together enough supplies for the Mississippi to survive two months. But the problem now was that the British police were focused on the coast, and it was a problem to move all the supplies to the Mississippi.

"Frank, didn't you get something out of the mouth of the guy we caught?" After receiving Brand's report that it would be difficult to deliver supplies to the Mississippi in the near future, Johnny reckoned that the two detectives were not here for an ordinary criminal case.

"No, that guy has a hard mouth, and we didn't have the torture space and equipment at that time, so I quickly cleaned him up." Frank said.

Uh-huh, he can still withstand Frank's first wave of torture, this unlucky kid still has something! Brand's report also mentions that the British moved along the coastline and even used the navy, which is probably not a battle to fight the gangster vendetta.

"No one is poked in this hornet's nest! It's just a matter of killing two plainclothes detectives from Scotland Yard, how can even the Royal Navy be recruited? Frank said, looking at Brand's report.

"That doesn't make sense!? How can the people of Scotland Yard be sure that the key to the matter is by the sea? Could it be that there really is a Sherlock Holmes? Joel felt that it was a bit unreasonable for the Brit to look for him at sea as soon as he found out that a detective was missing.

"We're going to go through the clues again and see if there's any detail that we haven't noticed that would convince the British that we're from the sea." Johnny said.

But the rough embryos of the field team couldn't figure out why the British would focus their search on the coastline, even if Mr. J sold them, the British couldn't find any clues to support their guess that they came from the sea?
