August 29, 1379 in the Medland Glory calendar.

Night.

To the west of the town of Loefgang, on a hillside, under the dense grape leaves, large clusters of golden grapes exude a rich fruity aroma.

More than thirty huge mastiffs curled up quietly under the grape trellises, their eyes the size of copper bells glowing green in the dark. They are highly trained hunting dogs, and they lie on the ground as ordered, motionless and without making a sound.

At the foot of the hillside, several rows of bungalows used by grape growers are densely packed with policemen in black uniforms.

The windows of all the rooms were nailed with wooden planks, so that not a single ray of light could escape.

In the largest room, Joe sat behind a square table, frowning at the map of Loeffgang in front of him. He sipped a large cigar in his mouth, his fingers gesturing on the map, occasionally measuring it on the map with a ruler, muttering the distance between two points.

Tooth, Iron Mule, Si Gengs, and other old people of the Vetto family also gathered around the square table, all wearing black police uniforms.

Fate is so bizarre, so unpredictable.

According to the laws of the Delenn Empire, the amount of tax evasion alone is enough to make him a hundred gallows 'law-abiding citizens', and he has actually turned into a policeman who upholds the law and order of the empire.

Not only that, but on the epaulettes hanging from the shoulders of the iron mules, there are three small copper stars!

Sergeant of the first class, this is the rank of the iron mule after becoming a police officer. There is no doubt that he was exceptionally promoted, and the reason for his exceptional promotion is that he has made a huge, representative and irreplaceable contribution to the construction of the Tulun Port Police Department!

No matter what dirty deals were behind this matter, in short, a group of old people from the Vetto family around Joe had now changed into black police uniforms, and they were gathered around the square table in a decent manner, watching Joe make blind comparisons on the map.

After gesturing for a while, Joe dropped the ruler in his hand and looked at Lan Mujin standing in the corner of the room.

"Hibiscus...... Are you sure they'll drop off from here? ”

Lan Mujin pursed his lips, indicating that he had smiled, he nodded, and said indifferently: "Please believe in our professionalism." ”

After a slight pause, Lan Mujin may have felt that his answer was too difficult, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I have comprehensively considered the current situation in Tulun Port, the current situation in Loewgang, the comparison of forces between us and the Marquis of Seeak, and the intelligence ...... of the smuggling caravans that originally belonged to the major families within Loewgang."

"In addition, I also analyzed the judgment of the type, quantity, and total value of the goods that were likely to be sent back this time...... Coupled with our pre-arranged police colleagues who have appeared at the docks around Loew Heights, the psychological deterrence of everyone ......"

Lan Mujin was about to continue, but Joe had already shook his head again and again, stopping his explanation.

Joe was stunned for a long time, and he remembered that Lan Mujin's skills had reached 89% of the 'psychological judgment'.

Well, Joe trusts Lan Mujin's professionalism because he has no idea what 'psychological judgment' is.

However, it doesn't matter, as a leader of a group of people, you don't need to be proficient in everything, as long as someone under you is proficient, and you can trust and use your subordinates well, this is enough.

Lan Mu Hibiscus drooped her eyelids and returned to silence.

Joe shook his fist and began to emphasize the significance of today's action to those present.

"The news that someone is going to drop off the goods is not from our people. Instead, through the channels of the local snakes we visited in the past two days, they secretly extorted a sum of money from us for intelligence by the way. ”

"Now, the whole Loewgang is either ours or the Marquis of Seeak."

"Since it is not our people who have sent back the news, then it must be those people who have been subdued by the Marquis of Seeak who want to take advantage of the chaos, or simply the Marquis of Seeak...... He can't wait to get rich. ”

Qiao grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and smiled lowly: "So, uncles, brothers, smuggling is a felony...... Extremely serious felony. ”

"So, grab them, torture the confession, I'm going to give the old Seaak turtle a little color!"

'Quack~Squeak'!

Standing on Si Guns' shoulder, Baku danced excitedly, waving the banana in his hand desperately.

Yaya Peter quietly pushed open the door and entered the room, where a small harrier eagle more than half a foot tall was parked on his arm.

The petite Harrier Eagle is incomparably small, its black feathers are as smooth as oil, its red eyes shine like two rubies in the light, and its pair of silver-colored claws are extremely sharp, shining in the light with the cold light peculiar to metal.

Yaya Peter handed a small note to Orchid Hibiscus, who took the branch, glanced at it, and handed it to Joe.

Joe took the note, glanced at it, and then his face twitched.

On the note was a line of iron-gray grotesque characters that he couldn't read!

This is the communication cipher used by the elite scout team in the Delen Imperial Army, and each elite scout team has its own set of exclusive ciphertext. No two different scout detachments will be able to discern each other's messages.

"What do you mean?" Joe glanced curiously at the harrier eagle perched on Yaya Peter's arm.

"The Marquis de Seeac, who was having a banquet in his official residence, was attended by José Don Saint-Melansi, the new military attache of the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Saint-Sia in the port of Tulum...... The nephew of the Marquis of Turando? Lan Mujin told the information on the note.

He nodded slowly, "Several of Marquis de Seac's henchmen, including the Black Widow Lilith from the Imperial Capital's Intelligence Headquarters, were also present. ”

"The speed of the meteor is very fast, it only takes half an hour to fly here from the port of Tulun." Yaya Peter said in a deep voice: "So, the Marquis of Siak is in the port of Tulum, and when he receives the news, he will come and intervene, and we will have at least six hours." ”

Joe clenched his fist and punched hard into his left palm, making a muffled 'bang' sound.

On the port side of Tulum, Joe also has a little arrangement.

Even if the Marquis of Seeak received the news, it would not have been so easy for him to rush directly to Loewgang.

Forcibly holding back the excitement in his heart, Qiao said in a deep voice: "Very good, the old turtle is not here, after we caught someone, we immediately forced a confession and made it into an iron case." ”

"Tonight, our aim is to implicate as many people as we can...... It is better to make a mistake than to let it go. ”

"Before the old turtle reacts, we can make the case as big as we can, and then report it to the port of Tulum immediately. Remember, you have to be fast, you have to be ruthless, I don't want the old turtle to pull out another big stack of waste paper and slap us in the face with some 'imperial secret'!" ”

The atmosphere in the room changed suddenly, and several old men of the Vetto family began to arrange the weapons hanging from their belts.

Their movements were obviously a little unaccustomed - for the first time in their lives, they put on police uniforms, and they were very awkward...... And when they see the appearance of their companions at the moment, they always have the urge to draw knives and stab each other......

Qiao looked at the old men of these 'uncles' and swallowed and foamed: "Act later, pay attention, don't hurt your own people by mistake." ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became even more eerie.

Joe looked at the people present and lowered his voice again: "In addition, all the contraband I prepared are ready?" As soon as you catch someone, stuff them with these contraband, stuff them on their boats, and mix them into their cargo! ”

Fang, Si Gengs, Iron Mule, and the others nodded at the same time.

In the room, there was a silent more orchid bellflower.

As in the previous few times, there were so many good players of the Ritu family present, but no one found out how the orchid bellflower came out.

The door was closed, the window was nailed shut, and through which crack did he get in?

"Joe, Sea Urchin Bay, sure enough, there's a dinghy just about to dock." Lan Kikyo said in a deep voice: "On the sea outside, there are a large number of fast cargo ships waiting. ”

Joe stood up abruptly, he poked his finger at the map in front of him, and reported the number he had calculated for a long time just now: "Straight-line distance, less than half a mile...... Brothers, let's go...... Kikyo, you take people over first and stare them to death! ”

Underneath the trellises, more than thirty giant mastiffs stood up silently, stuck out their long tongues, followed Joe, and trotted briskly along the dense trellises to the southwest.

More than 300 of the original guards of the Vetto family, now the police officers of the Loew Gang Station, wore black uniforms and wore weapons around their waists, like a group of black shadows, silently walking between the grape trellises.

This area is full of small hills, small slopes, dense grape trellises and olive fields that stretch all the way to the beach.

The terrain here is becoming more and more rugged and messy, and among the many wild wharves in Loew Heights, Sea Urchin Bay is not far or close to Loew Hills, the scale is neither large nor small, and the number of loading and unloading goods on weekdays is neither more nor less.

Sea Urchin Bay belongs to the absolutely mediocre, absolutely inconspicuous kind of wild wharf.

Even if it is the old man of Loewgang, many people will forget that Loewgang also has a wild pier called Sea Urchin Bay.

When Xiao Bu ran briskly towards Sea Urchin Bay, Qiao Du felt extremely magical and incomprehensible - how did the two brothers, Lan Mu Jian and Lan Kikyo, find the accurate address of Sea Urchin Bay based on such limited information?

The information that came from others only said that someone had placed a large number of goods in the past two days, but did not specify the time and place.

It's a shame on how they determined this point!

At this moment, in the sea urchin bay, where the terrain is rugged and the beach is more than 600 feet wide, a small sampan more than ten feet long is silently leaning against the beach, and two shirtless sailors in shorts sneakily jump from the sampan to the beach.

They lit torches and swung three times towards the dark bush at the end of the beach.

In the bushes, the blades of grass swayed, and a group of heavily armed men silently crossed the sand and walked to the sea.
