Chapter 699: Narrowing the Screening List
Judging from Zhuang Yi's overall performance, Cheng Yu prefers to believe that he really doesn't know that his one-night love with Natalia seven years ago will get him another daughter.
And his affair with Natalia was not intended to hide Cheng Yu, it was even just a small episode for him.
When leaving the hotel, Zhuang Yi repeatedly told Cheng Yu that he would ask the finance department to convert the one million US dollars into soft sister coins and transfer them to Cheng Yu's account tomorrow.
Cheng Yu told him: "I can trust you about money, don't worry." But because of the profile, I'll need to talk to my friend to determine if he'll eventually be willing to help you post a mission against Maxim on the dark web.
But given the fact that your son is not dead and that you may have a daughter, I don't suggest that you can even give up your entire net worth for revenge. After all, you should think about these two children, even if you don't think about yourself.
Of course, I would like you to think about whether or not to change the mission objective to rescue these two children.
In that case, I think things might be a little easier.
Thirty million dollars worth of diamonds, part of which will be used to pay for the mission, and the other part will be used to exchange your children with Maxim.
I don't think it's too difficult to do this as long as you can find a suitable intermediary after the dark web publishes the task, and Maxim should be okay with that. ”
Zhuang Yi looked a little flustered, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and he didn't know that Cheng Yu said this to him, just based on a more secret angle that could handle this matter, not that Cheng Yu really planned to let Maxim go.
After all, in Cheng Yu's case, the requirements of the system task are far more than what he proposed with Zhuang Yi.
Leaving the hotel, Cheng Yu found a small restaurant to pad his stomach casually, looked at the time, it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, and he drove straight to the airport.
When she arrived at the airport, Cheng Yu sent a WeChat message to Du Xiaoyu, telling her that she was going to go on a business trip for a few days, and then board the plane and fly to Harbin City.
Sitting on the plane, Cheng Yu began to recall all his conversations with Zhuang Yi.
Due to the hidden task of the five culprits in the system task, Cheng Yu made a series of inquiries to Maxim in Zhuang Yi's heart on the premise of basically confirming that Zhuang Yi did not maliciously deceive or conceal himself in the whole matter.
This is related to how many children Ivanov adopted at the beginning, and Cheng Yu's most direct idea is that the so-called culprits are those who were adopted by Ivanov, including Maxim, but contrary to Zhuang Yi's values.
Zhuang Yi's answer was that Ivanov adopted a total of three children, namely him, Maxim and Natalia.
According to Cheng Yu's current information, Natalia is likely to end up in the same fate as Zhuang Yi's wife, although Cheng Yu is a little surprised that Maxim would wait for Natalia to give birth to a child, instead of killing her immediately after finding out that she was pregnant.
But no matter what, trying to find the five culprits with this line of thinking has been confirmed to be a failure.
Later, Cheng Yu asked Zhuang Yi how many people had kidnapped his wife and children in the restaurant in Irkutsk at that time, and who they were.
The answer given by Zhuang Yi was that there were six of them, and he only knew two of them, one was named Victor and the other was Alexander.
This does not include Maxim, and Cheng Yu believes that Maxim must be one of those five people, and it is impossible that even Maxim is not the culprit.
Therefore, judging from the number of kidnappers, it seems that it is not easy to find the remaining four people, and it seems that it is not easy to confirm the candidates from this point.
Of course, Cheng Yu also asked Zhuang Yi that when he left, Maxim's most powerful subordinates were around. Cheng Yu got a list of nearly twenty people for this, which are all those who have been with Zhuang Yi and Maxim when they grew up, and in a sense, they can be defined as Zhuang Yi and Maxim's big brothers.
And Ivanov's generation, some died in the mission, some died of old age and illness, and a few, according to Zhuang Yi, they left earlier than him, after all, they are all old people, and it is impossible to continue to follow Maxim to carry a gun.
Cheng Yu estimated that most of the five culprits, except for Maxim, should be from this list. Of course, Cheng Yu did not rule out the possibility that in the two years that Zhuang Yi had just left, there were new recruits from Maxim who gained his trust by leaps and bounds and became his confidant.
But even if this kind of person exists, there will never be many of them, and the so-called culprit must be the first sentence of the mission content - Zhuang Yi's loss of his wife. To put it bluntly, that person must have played a vital role in targeting Zhuang Yi's wife and kidnapping them before he could be one of the five culprits.
Through Zhuang Yi, Cheng Yu reduced the list of people he needed to screen from 200 to about 20.
Although the difficulty is still very high, it has finally achieved initial results.
......
After a nearly three-hour flight, it was already one o'clock in the morning when Cheng Yu walked out of the airport in Harbin.
He turned on his phone again and saw Du Xiaoyu's reply to WeChat, indicating that she knew and asked Cheng Yu to pay attention to safety in the field.
originally thought that it was so late, so he would simply go to Andreevich the next morning, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yu had just finished reading Du Xiaoyu's WeChat when he saw a call coming in.
It is a local number in Harbin.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Yu. ”
"Hello Mr. Cheng, I'm Andreevich. I guess you haven't contacted me so late, probably because you bought the last flight from Wudong to Harbin tonight, so I calculated the time, you should have left the airport by this time, right?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Andrevich, it seems that you really don't want to have any more contact with me, I originally thought that it was so late that it was inconvenient to disturb you, and I planned to contact you again tomorrow morning." ”
Andrevich's voice looked a little annoyed, and he said: "You don't count if you don't talk at all, if I can't completely settle the matter with you today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at all." Don't talk nonsense, there will be cars to Russia in the early morning, I just hope that you can be sent away now. ”
Cheng Yu smiled again and said, "Okay, since Mr. Andrevich is so anxious, then I'll go to you now." I had just left the airport and was about to take a taxi. Where should we meet?"
Andreevich gave Cheng Yu an address, Cheng Yu checked it with navigation software, and found that it was only about four or five kilometers away from the airport, and the navigation map showed that it was a logistics center at all.
Since this is the case, there is no need to rub in, Cheng Yu got into a taxi, and the driver was a little dissatisfied when he learned that the place where Cheng Yu was going was so close, but when Cheng Yu said that he was willing to pay an additional 100 yuan, the driver drove with a smile without saying a word.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yu arrived at the logistics center.
The taxi driver kindly said, "Dude, in the middle of the night, why don't you just find a hotel nearby to stay in and come back tomorrow morning to find someone?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is a problem with the batch of goods, otherwise I wouldn't have to rush over." Thank you, this is your fare, I added a hundred dollars. After that, after paying, Cheng Yu got out of the car.
Naturally, the taxi driver stopped talking, turned around and drove back to the airport, ready to work again.
Cheng Yu called Andrevich and said that he had arrived at the logistics center, and Andrevich asked him to go in directly and told him the more exact location.
At this point in time, the logistics center is still brightly lit, and there is still an endless stream of vehicles coming out and entering. Even, only at such a point in time, this logistics center is the busiest time, and those parcel goods that need to be divided in different directions are also sorted and loaded here.
It didn't take much effort for Cheng Yu to find Andrevich's logistics warehouse, and from a distance, he had already seen Andreevich standing under the light at the door of the warehouse.
shook hands with Andreevich, and before Cheng Yu could speak, Andreevich said, "Mr. Cheng, I hope this is really the last time we will deal with each other." You don't have to tell me why you want to go to Russia this way, anyway, it won't be a good reason to go this way. ”
Cheng Yu laughed again, this Andreevich is really cautious.
Fortunately, in fact, Cheng Yu didn't intend to tell Andreevich any truth, so he nodded and continued to wait for Andreevich's words.
"The car over there, there's a down jacket in it, and we're going to have six cars going at the same time, and you're going to stay in that car. Except for one of the drivers of that car, no one else will know you exist. When you get to the right place, the driver will get you out of the car safely and help you get out of the logistics center over there. You can figure it out by yourself on the way back, don't look for me anymore, look for me, and I won't bother you. Let me explain again, this is the last time I will help you, if you continue to harass me, I will give up this life, and I will die with you. Don't forget, you killed people in Irkutsk, in front of me. ”
Cheng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "This trip out, either I fulfill my wish, or, I may die in Russia." So, either way, the connection between me and you will not continue. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this matter is still a little bit related to you, I wouldn't be willing to ask you for help. Rest assured, Mr. Andrevich, I will never trouble you again in the future. ”
"Hmph, that's what you said last time, and I hope you'll be trustworthy this time. ”
Cheng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "How long will this trip take?"
"The final destination of this convoy is Moscow, of course, Mr. Cheng, you will definitely not go there, and your destination is the last thing I want to confirm with you. Andreevich turned around after speaking, beckoned to Cheng Yu, and said, "Come in, let's look at the map." ”
Entering the warehouse, Andreevich took Cheng Yu up the stairs to his office on the second floor, where he pointed to a map of Russia hanging on the wall.
"Our convoy will leave Manchuria and ...... along this line," Andreevich drew a line on the map, "to Chita, there will be a stopover for a while. This will be the right point for you to get off the bus. ”
Cheng Yu looked at the map, Chita was still too far away from Lake Baikal, which would cause him a lot of trouble, so he shook his head and said, "This place is not good." ”
Andreevich nodded and continued to draw lines on the map: "Next, the convoy will go south, and after Shiloksky, continue west, go around Lake Baikal along the lake, reach Irkutsk, which you are already familiar with, and make a short rest." ”
Cheng Yu looked at the map and said in his heart that if he arrived in Irkutsk, it would be an acceptable choice, but in this case, he still needed to bypass Lake Baikal in order to get close to the location of Maxim's mercenaries.
This distance does not seem too far from the map, but the problem is that it is necessary to go around Lake Baikal, which can be more than 400 kilometers.
Cheng Yu looked at the map carefully, pointed to one of the places, and said, "Here, do you think it's okay?"
