Chapter 42: The Red Thief

"I'm still investigating Mr. Zhao's background, and I heard that he has a lot of influence in Siam, and I can't figure out where he came from." The professor gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I've already had people check it, and the results should be available soon." ”

The messenger nodded, "Do you need to send someone to keep an eye on him?" ”

"Just keep sending two groups of people to follow." The professor said casually, "Now he's not the point, you fill in the action team." ”

The messenger hesitated, "It needs to be transferred from outside, at least a week." ”

"It's okay." The professor's expression was particularly light, and he smiled, "We have more time. ”

"Okay, I'm going to gather people." The messenger nodded in agreement, then put the book in his backpack and turned to go out the door.

The professor still stood in the middle of the bookshelf, intently picking his target among the dense books.

Finally, his gaze stopped, and fell on a copy of "Nuclear Physics", reached out and pulled the book out, opened it and turned a few pages to put it away, and turned away.

The professor walked out of the library at a relaxed pace, walked to the bus stop, found a seat, and looked through the newly borrowed books while waiting for the next bus.

After ten minutes, the professor raised the watch on his wrist, glanced at it, and frowned.

Today's bus was unusually slow, and if he waited any longer, he would be late, so he looked up and swept around, and found that there didn't seem to be a few taxis.

The traffic in Tokyo is really bad, the professor smiled helplessly.

Forget it, let's look for a taxi while walking, and you won't even find a taxi in Tokyo.

No way.

……

An hour later, he walked into the church with his tired body.

It's a small church in the middle of nowhere, and there's not much people around.

The church was very quiet, and there was no one to be seen except for a few clergymen who had hurried by.

A priest walked up and nodded to the professor and led him to a prayer room, where he closed the door when he entered.

"You're late."

Two people sat back to back on the chairs in the prayer room, neither of them looking at the professor, but their tones were questioning.

"I didn't wait for the car." The professor stepped forward with some complaints and sat down on a long chair, "I didn't even see the bus today, is it another spring wage struggle?" ”

The professor then asked rhetorically, "Gentleman, what about the others, only you and the lawyer have arrived?" ”

"Yesterday someone sent a threatening letter to the Capitol and caused a series of explosions, and the entire Chiyoda ward was blocked." There was a deep resentment in the gentleman's tone, "You can't have made it happen, Professor?" ”

"I'm not going to be so stupid." The professor frowned, "The messenger's operations team is in a little trouble, and he's regrouping his staff. ”

"Your little trouble means that the operation team is almost completely wiped out?" The lawyer snorted coldly, "What the hell does a messenger do?" ”

"Rameau's deal with the Nine Ghosts was ruined, and the messenger was there to do things for the Order." The professor emphasized, "He fell into the trap set by Mr. Zhao while clearing the obstacles. ”

"That Mr. Zhao?" The gentleman asked aloud.

"It's him." The professor said with a serious face, "He came to Tokyo with a guard team with a strong firepower, and he is not good." ”

Neither the lawyer nor the gentleman spoke up.

The professor suddenly asked, "Did you find any information about Mr. Zhao?" ”

The lawyer reached out and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and stuffed them back into the professor's hand, "It is presumed that he is a native of Hong Kong Island, and at first he annexed a smuggling syndicate that trafficked human organs, and later expanded his business to Siam and cooperated with the local drug lord Erawan Shrine to jointly take down the gangsters in Bangkok and become the most famous force in Siam's underworld." ”

"But then for unknown reasons, there was an internal strife between them, and the eight-faced Buddha was killed together."

"And this Mr. Zhao is not only unscathed, but also on the line of the Siamese royal family, and his power is getting bigger and bigger."

"He has an armed guerrilla force of about 1,000 men in the Golden Triangle, well-trained and well-equipped, which he annexed a few months ago to Khun Shah's subordinate Marin."

The professor frowned and looked at the materials in his hand, "What the hell is his whereabouts?" ”

"It's not clear, but after checking around Hong Kong Island, I didn't find out where this person came from." The lawyer shook his head.

The professor asked, "Are you from the mainland?" ”

"Not really." The lawyer directly denied this question, "This Mr. Zhao used the Siam pedal to later enter the country to open a biotechnology company, this company has a very complex background, including the capital of Southeast Asia, HSBC, Citigroup, Enron and several multinational consortiums, and even the family fund of the president of the United States. ”

"So." The lawyer said in a very affirmative tone, "It is very likely that he has a European and American background. ”

The professor pondered for a moment, "Go ahead and get to the bottom of him, we can't let him ruin our plans." ”

"I'll ask someone to continue to investigate, but what about the Xiangle Club?" The lawyer asked rhetorically, "Is there any latest news?" ”

The professor gave a brief introduction to the meeting, and then there was silence in the prayer room, and none of the three spoke.

After a few minutes, the gentleman who had not spoken was the first to speak, "The nine ghosts are now accepted as a righteous son by the Kagu Fang, so what about the future, will the Xiangrakukai continue over there?" ”

"Nine ghosts are not a problem." The professor raised his head and looked at the clouds outside the window, "If you give Katani Fang a few more years, it will be difficult to say about the Xiangrakukai, but his time is running out, and once he dies, the Xiangrakukai will be chaotic, and the nine ghosts alone will not work." ”

"What about the inu of the valley?"

"It's just a weak girl, what kind of waves can be stirred up under the influence of other factions of the Xiangle Society." The professor sighed, "This is your life-and-death struggle, without the slightest warmth and affection, and her best ending is to take a sum of money in a foreign land." ”

"Inuko Katani and Mr. Zhao have been very close recently, and the two of them have a leg." The gentleman frowned, "Will there be variables?" ”

"Katani Inuko is just a plaything for Mr. Zhao, he doesn't need to interfere, and he doesn't have the strength, his roots are in Southeast Asia." Seeing that the gentleman had some doubts, the professor comforted him in a confident tone, "You can't make any big waves with just a few guns, but there are more than 70,000 members of the Xiangle Club." ”

The gentleman nodded, gangsters are a social problem, and the Dongying government can't solve it.

To say that just by bringing a few people from Mr. Zhao can help the Hunting Valley Inu keep a family business, it is purely a fool's dream.

There are at least more than 10,000 horses in each faction of the Xiangle Club, and there are more than 20,000 people, all of whom are native snakes who infiltrate all aspects of the bottom.

The organization has been deeply involved in the Xiangle Club for many years, and it is not sure to occupy the top level of the Xiangle Club, let alone Mr. Zhao, an outsider.

"Kagu Fang had the idea of recruiting the nine ghosts as a son-in-law back then, but he found that the nine ghosts were ambitious and difficult to control, and recruiting a son-in-law was a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, so he broke off this idea." The professor smiled, "Otherwise, the Xiangle Club is really difficult to start, Kagu Fang is a male master, but unfortunately his subordinates are not nine ghosts with backbones in the back of their heads, or mediocre people with low eyes." ”

"It's a pity that the foundation of decades of hard work is about to make wedding dresses for others."

"So everything went well?" The lawyer asked.

"It's all planned." The professor answered in the affirmative.

The lawyer said directly: "Then continue to implement the plan, and the Xiangle Club must be in the hands of the organization." ”

The gentleman suddenly interjected, "That Mr. Zhao is a dangerous person, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible." ”

"There's no hurry, everything is under control." The professor smiled confidently, "In this chess game, he is just a pawn. ”

The three of them smiled at the same time, and they had a feeling that they were in control of the world.

In this beautiful atmosphere, the phones of the three people rang one after another.

The professor took out his phone and connected it, "Hey, what's the matter?" ”

"What?!"

The three men held their phones and stood up from their chairs almost simultaneously.

"Red Thief ?!!"

……

“…… The entire area has been destroyed by fire, and it is reported that the attackers used a large number of incendiary bombs, apparently deliberate for a long time...... The attackers set up several mortars on the building a kilometer from the shrine...... At today's press conference, the Metropolitan Police Department declined to disclose the exact number of casualties, saying it was still being counted. ”

"According to eyewitness accounts, experts analyzed that in this terrorist attack, the attacker used a man-made anti-aircraft missile, and the other side is likely to have the support of a foreign power."

"After a day and a night of police standoff, the attackers occupied the building and were captured by special raid forces."

"No group has claimed responsibility for this incident......"

The professor, the lawyer, and the gentleman sat in their chairs in silence as they watched the TV presenter on the television screen constantly introduce the news of the attack.

"Professor, how do you explain this?" The lawyer waved the newspaper in his hand angrily and asked in an aggressive tone.

On the front page of the newspaper was a clear color picture of the provocative letter left by the attackers, with the words "Red Thief Ginseng" clearly visible.

The lawyer slammed the newspaper on the table, "Assi, you still say you didn't do it?" ”

The professor was stunned, looking at the pictures in the newspaper and falling into self-doubt.

That's not right......

The "Red Thief" plan was known only to a few high-level members of the organization, not even his most powerful assistant, the messenger.

Why did the "Red Thief" leak?

"It can't be a coincidence." The gentleman began to play a round and asked tentatively.

"Assi!" The lawyer replied, "Where is there such a coincidence, we proposed a plan for red thieves, and immediately terrorists did a big deal, and they also used the name of red thieves, which was obviously done by our own people." ”

"It can't be!" The professor flatly denied it, "Only a few of us know about this plan. ”

"What do you mean, you're saying we've got a traitor?" The lawyer snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, "Who are you suspecting?" ”

"Well, lawyer, the professor didn't mean that." The gentleman coughed, "Professor, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. ”

The professor was once again silent and self-doubting, and if these few people in the organization were not to be trusted, then it really didn't make sense.

What if it's a coincidence.

"Professor." The gentleman shouted, "What about the original plan?" ”

"What else can I do? Of course, it's going to be canceled, and someone has helped us make a name for free, what's the point of continuing to implement it? The lawyer snorted coldly.

"Nope." The professor stood up, "This plan is going to be carried out, and right away!" ”

The gentleman was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Others are always famous by others, and we are truly our own when we make it ourselves." The professor said solemnly, "This matter is not a battle of will, but the first step of our organization to declare its strength to the world. ”

"This step must be taken, we take the initiative ourselves, it is better than others taking it for us, we have planned for so long and made a lot of preparations, we can't just give up in vain."

At this time, the lawyer also stood up, "That's right, this matter is too passive, we must make this matter clear to the outside world as soon as possible." ”

The gentleman also nodded, "So this Red Thief Project is a great opportunity, and we can't let Dongying plant other things on our heads." ”

"I'll go into the palace tomorrow with a few historians." The professor said with a serious face, "I need your cooperation with me when the time comes." ”

"What kind of cooperation do you need?"

"The messenger's action team is too late, and needs the help of your men to make some noise."

"Okay."

……

At the beginning of the shower, the hunting valley dog who had gone through a battle of tongues was panting in Qin Yi's arms, looking at his lover as gently as water.

"You're a mouth, that's amazing." Qin Yi sighed and praised the dogs of the valley again and again.

"You're so bad, it's hard to speak." The dog smacked Qin Yi's chest with disgust, "It's the first time someone has done such a shameful thing, you have to be responsible for others." ”

Qin Yi smiled and stroked the smooth shoulders of the Hunter Valley Dog, the girlfriend who was a hit was actually very troublesome, after all, she had to be responsible.

For example, Chen Xiaoming, Qin Yi treats her differently from other women, and is more favorable.

Facing the Hunting Valley Dog, Qin Yi began to think, "Did your father adopt the Nine Ghost Heroes as his righteous son?" ”

"Yes, my father is also trying to subdue the Nine Ghost Faction."

Dongying's adopted son is different from Huaxia's adopted son, and the adopted son in Dongying is qualified to inherit the family business.

"Did your father say that you would inherit his business?" Qin Yi asked.

"He didn't tell me that the dog is a daughter after all, and there are still a lot of inconveniences." Katani Inuko's expression was a little gloomy, and she raised her head, "But we can have a child and be the third generation of the Xiangle Society." ”

"Wow, isn't it, you are still so young to think so far, and you plan directly to the third generation." Qin Yi showed an exaggerated expression, "Who will do the second generation?" ”

"Of course it's the big brother of the Nine Ghosts, and he can inherit the gang as an adopted son." Inuko Katagani had an innocent expression.

"Really, I don't believe it." Qin Yi smiled meaningfully.

The Nine Ghosts are just a target, what qualifications does he have to be on top.

President Katagani, this old fox.
