Chapter (88): Plan before you act
Xiao Qingfeng smiled slightly, and said humbly: "You are too polite, brother, I am just a little brother who follows behind the lone wolf brother, and many real things and principles have also been taught to me by him, so I can't compare with your predecessors." β
Lone wolf said: "Okay, Brother Qingfeng, you don't have to be humble anymore, everyone knows your personal situation." You should hurry up and say what you think, so that we can immediately start all kinds of actions according to your ideas. β
Xiao Qingfeng said: "My idea is to find a way to turn the man in white in the shortest possible time, as long as he sincerely serves us, then things will be much easier." But how to turn the man in white around, that is, first of all, to completely eliminate the doubts I just said about him, and then make an authoritative guarantee for his future life, work and personal safety. As long as these two things can be done to his satisfaction, I estimate that the matter will be more than half done. The other biggest problem is the problem of time, we must completely control or clear this place before that Watanabe Masao returns, and then do the next trick to catch him. Because, as I said, once this guy comes back in a few days, this man in white will lose his actual control over it. After he came back, as long as he received a secret report from his henchmen or noticed something, and then he reported it to the organization above, then the matter was serious. In that case, not only will the brothers we entered in advance be in danger immediately, but even the people in white may be killed by them, so the clues and bets in our hands will be completely interrupted. Even if we take strong measures to take this place afterwards, it is estimated that it will lose its due great value to the entire case. β
Speaking of this, Xiao Qingfeng pondered for a while, and then solemnly continued: "According to my personal thoughts just now, I urgently need your three conclusive information and three authoritative guarantees now. The conclusive information I am talking about is: first, the real identity files of the people in white, second, the real situation of the relatives of the people in white, and third, the sales of new drugs developed by the people in white. The authoritative guarantees I need are: first, to ensure that after he becomes a tainted witness, his earlier 'criminal record' will be completely erased and that he will never be pursued again; second, that after he leaves this organization, he can continue to engage in chemical research that he regards as his life; and third, that he will be absolutely safe in the future, and that he will not be hunted down by the organization in the future. This is what I surmised from the character of the man in white and the underlying state of his mind revealed in his own words. β
Looking at the people with solemn expressions, Xiao Qingfeng paused for a moment and continued: "I can roughly determine that this man in white is innocent and kind in nature, and even has a bit of a compassionate mind, but this long-term life of imprisonment has made him a little numb. If he hadn't joined this mysterious criminal organization by accident, I think he would have been a scientific researcher with a considerable status by now. When I suddenly 'killed' Brother Wolf, I could see a trace of unbearability in his eyes, which showed that his nature was still alive and had not been completely wiped out. At the same time, as he himself said, although he has a high IQ, he has a very simple mind. He now has a certain amount of knowledge about this organization, even naΓ―ve. Personally, I think it's very likely that it was this organization that single-handedly planned to make him go from a doctor to a prisoner, and then deliberately gave him the favor to actively join the organization and serve them for life. As for the promises made to him by this organization, why they will not sell the new drugs developed by him in China, why they will help him secretly take care of his widowed old father, and why they will apply for a legal foreign nationality for him when he reaches a certain age so that he can live for a long time, these should be absolutely false lies. β
The leader of the special task force quickly wrote down all of Xiao Qingfeng's words, and then sent them to the superior organization through a special channel, and finally said solemnly: "Brother Qingfeng, your analysis and reasoning are very logical, and the entry point is also very accurate, we have considered these ideas of yours in advance, but they are not as careful as your thinking." The hard information you're talking about isn't a problem, and I estimate that it will be available through Interpol's cloud data platform within 24 hours. However, the three authoritative guarantees you mentioned, we must sort out the materials and report them to the relevant departments, and ask them to make corresponding instructions as soon as possible. In this way, within forty-eight hours, I will definitely give you a clear answer, and I will definitely not delay your appointment with the man in white in three days. In addition, we will apply for a stronger backup team from the provincial department within three days, and complete the strict monitoring of the vicinity of this Guanyin Mountain under the premise of absolute confidentiality, and we will ensure that we cooperate with your actions inside. β
Then, everyone carefully discussed some details, comprehensively imagined some potential dangers that might exist in this kind of cave fortress, and exchanged ideas about how to surprise and deal with this kind of bandit with powerful firepower.
After a tense discussion for almost half an hour, the lone wolf and the others left first, quickly disappearing from everyone's field of vision. Everyone rested a little, and at this time, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the prodigal son, the laughing Maitreya, and the Mengshan turtle also came to the ski resort with the guests who came up one after another.
As soon as Xiao Qingfeng saw the prodigal son's expression, he knew that the matter was done. And they have also explained clearly to themselves, and the rest is to recharge their energy and wait for a clear answer from the provincial department. Thinking of this, he was about to take off his ski equipment and beckon everyone to prepare to retreat.
At this time, the doll, who has always been not afraid of the sky and the earth, saw that everyone had arrived, so she said to Xiao Qingfeng coquettishly: "My good marquis, you see that everyone is here, let's have a good time, do you say okay?"
The prodigal son and Mengshan turtle on the side also coaxed, and the prodigal son said: "That's it, my Hou Ye, this is a big deal, it's so tight, I don't think it's necessary, don't you think?"
Mengshan Turtle said: "That is to say, since we showed the name of the Nine Immortals, how have we ever been afraid of anything." Even if my turtle becomes like this today, isn't it still the same calmly smiling and fearless. I said Master Hou, you just let the brothers let go and be refreshed, but others don't scare us to death, let's hold back our prostate ourselves, hehehe......"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and when Xiao Qingfeng saw this, he said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone is happy, then you can have a good time." It's nine fifty o'clock, twelve o'clock on time to go down the mountain, and at noon I'll have a treat, and everyone will have a good time!" everyone cheered in unison, and then they went to play.
Xiao Qingfeng simply slid a few laps, then returned to the lounge, half-lying on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate. After a while, the mute and the little Taoist priest also came to the lounge silently, neither of them spoke, and they also followed Xiao Qingfeng's appearance and rested.
The five people outside were having a good time, especially the prodigal son and the doll were like a pair of speed skating masters, and the wonderful and exciting combination of the two of them attracted bursts of applause from the people around them from time to time. Even the usually quiet and virtuous white-clothed saintess meditate, today's performance is also very eye-catching, and her graceful posture sometimes draws a few beautiful and difficult movements. It's just that Maitreya, who is still deeply hidden, comes to squat and bask in the sun from time to time, which makes everyone sigh. The Mengshan turtle is crooked and twisted, and he can't do a complete overall action, but he can still tenaciously insist that he has never fallen and made a fool of himself, and he also scolds and laughs at Maitreya from time to time, and has a lot of fun.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, everyone began to descend the mountain and went straight to the mountain villa hotel where the laughing Maitreya was located. At one o'clock, everyone arrived at the mountain villa hotel, still in the innermost single room where they often came, and Xiao Qingfeng asked Xiao Maitreya to pre-order a sumptuous banquet.
After the dishes were served, Xiao Qingfeng asked Xiao Maitreya to go out and hold a whole box of liquor, and at the same time politely removed the waiter at the door, and greeted the proprietress not to let anyone approach and disturb them. This proprietress is also an understanding person, although she doesn't know the true identity of Xiao Qingfeng and their group, she knows in her heart that this group of people is by no means as simple as it seems. This can be seen from their usual consumption at the villa, ordinary people will not go to this kind of place so often to consume, so she is not very strict with the restraint of the chef Xiao Maitreya on weekdays. Because, she knew very well that Xiao Qingfeng and their group and their various friends had brought far more profits to their hotel than the value of a chef. Today, when she heard Xiao Qingfeng's instructions, she immediately arranged for a smart junior apprentice to stay far away in the passage to Xiao Qingfeng's room, guarding the door for them.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Qingfeng stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said with a slight smile: "I seem to be stingy at the ski resort this morning, but I am not as chic as Doll and Ah Lang, hehe." Come, I toast everyone with a glass of wine, everyone relaxes, today our brothers and sisters are also not drunk and do not return, come, everyone is doing it together!" everyone stood up together when they heard the sound, and there was a crisp clinking of glasses, and then everyone drank it all.
After sitting down, Jing Xin preemptively said: "It's no wonder today, our Hou Ye is mainly a little tired, and he is by no means stingy. In this way, my second brother and I will drink a little bit today, and the two of us will pour wine and water for you, and all of you will let go of the amount and accompany our Hou Ye to drink, and everyone will relax and relieve fatigue. β
The dumb said: "That's exactly what I mean, you can do whatever you want, it's a big deal that in the end, the fourth sister and I will load you into the car and drag them back." Don't worry, with the two of us, we will never leave you here and leave it alone, hehe. β
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Since the second brother and Jingxin are so generous and have made sacrifices, then we are all welcome." Anyway, after drinking it today, everyone can't touch a drop of wine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, until this matter is revealed, and everyone can continue to drink wildly. β
The prodigal son first threw the bank card to Xiao Qingfeng, then reached out and touched a bottle of liquor that had not yet been opened, opened the lid cleanly, smiled hehe, and said: "In this case, then what are we buddies polite, who doesn't know the amount of alcohol who doesn't know, let's walk up with a bottle per person." β
