Chapter 64: Peeling Back the Threads
After listening to this, Ruan Jingtian gradually understood the reason for the matter in his heart: it turned out that the steel staring at Simmons was not only Zheguo, but also pink eye. The killing of the instructor of the Manguo because of the steel just gave the Manguo the best excuse.
When it comes to international disputes, especially the lives of instructors from good-neighborly and friendly countries, this is a matter of the utmost importance to those in office. As for the truth of the matter, it can only be slowed down, or even stopped.
The most important task is to appease the situation of the country with which the country has diplomatic relations, minimize the negative impact of the situation, and not to affect the career of the person concerned.
Xiao Junyan didn't care about engulfing this batch of priceless steel, he just wanted to calm the anger of the Manguo, although anyone who saw that note would understand that Xiao Junyan had been trapped. But the people of Manguo grabbed the note and insisted that Xiao Junyan was a wolf and designed to kill the instructor of Manguo. If Xiao Junyan really swallowed this batch of steel, it would really be true to what the note said, not to mention continuing to be the Minister of the Army, it is very likely that he will go to the military court to eat guns. Xiao Junyan's greatest desire at the moment is to send this batch of steel away as soon as possible, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him. However, he didn't dare to show up directly, so he had to entrust the 796th Division to buy steel and send it to Manguo.
Ruan Jingtian wanted to understand this, and he wanted to laugh out loud, but he didn't expect that the development of things would be so funny and so incredible.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll ask the gendarmerie to find Simmons. As long as Simmons is still in Higashiyama City, I think the gendarmerie will still be able to find him, but it may take a little while. Ruan Jingtian comforted Ling Yunmu, he picked up the phone and asked all the captains of the patrol team to come to his office for a meeting.
A while. The twelve squad leaders stood in front of Ruan Jingtian and received an urgent task to quickly find Simmons. The squad leaders took the order and left.
Ruan Jingtian invited Ling Yunmu to dinner, but Ling Yunmu, who was so anxious, was in the mood to drink. After leaving the communication phone number, he anxiously went to Liu Xiaochen, the commander of the 796th Division, to report Simmons.
Ruan Jingtian didn't hold back, watching Ling Yunmu leave in a hurry, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Simmons has been hidden by Li Shinan (see Chapter 55), and if Ling Yunmu can find him, then something is wrong.
According to the address given by Li Shinan, Ruan Jingtian found Simmons and Jenny in an alley near Baoshun Fang. He told Simmons that the matter had been settled, and asked Simmons and Jenny to open a room at Sheng Mei Business and wait in the room. Ling Yunmu, the deputy commander of the 796th Division, may personally come to the door to discuss the purchase of steel.
Ruan Jingtian asked Simmons to count all the losses, first come to a lion and open his mouth, don't be afraid that he can't sell it, if Lingyunmu bargains, then grind it little by little.
Ruan Jingtian stressed: Don't mention the matter of this meeting with "Gong Xiaomu" to anyone, otherwise a catastrophe will come. Finally, Ruan Jingtian reminded that after the steel transaction. Simmons and Jenny should leave Dongshan City immediately, and it is better to return to the country of wheat immediately, or later, things will change.
After Nguyen Jingtian and Simmons broke up, they hurried back to the gendarmerie. called Ling Yunmu and told him that Simmons might be in Shengmei Commerce, and asked Lingyunmu to go to Shengmei Business to check. Ling Yunmu thanked him on the phone. He said that there will be great gratitude in the future.
Ruan Jingtian put down the phone, and his mind was lively: since so many people grabbed this batch of steel. Do you want to get a share of the soup? At present, the construction of the self-reliance group is in full swing, and this batch of steel is very useful.
It was past six o'clock in the afternoon. After eating something, Ruan Jingtian went to the hotel on the banks of the Longyin River that was in charge of monitoring the Hu family's secret stronghold (see Chapter 55), and Wang Xiangpeng left three people here to take turns to monitor before the self-formation group training. Later, Li Shinan transferred the last three team members who stayed in Baoshunfang to monitor the large and small boats in the Longyin River. Among the six people, Zhuo Fengguo is the team leader, who was a scout in the government army of the Assassin State, and has been in Dongshan City for many years, and has contacts with all kinds of people.
After meeting with the six people, Ruan Jingtian briefly reported on the encampment of the Self-Reliance Regiment in Tu'erling and personnel arrangements, and listened to the surveillance situation in the past two days.
For two days, there were many people and cars coming in and out of the two-storey building diagonally opposite, and the vehicles were almost all loaded with heavy loads, and then returned empty, and the number of small boats on the shore increased to four, and the medium-sized fishing boats that frequently traveled to and from the river seemed to transport things from the trucks to the boats in the river. Due to the distance, the surveillance personnel did not dare to approach for fear of exposure, and could not see what was being transported.
Ruan Jingtian thought for a while, thinking that the Hu family might have to make a big move, what was this for? He thought for a while, but he didn't find a clue, so he didn't bother thinking about it anymore.
He gave Zhuo Aiguo a promissory note of 20 million Zheyuan, asking him to rent five or six small or medium-sized fishing boats, and then find and hire some sailors, first mates, second officers, and third officers who can drive large ships, and if he can find a captain, it would be great.
After Ruan Jingtian arranged the task, he walked out of the hotel and came to his small bungalow not far away. After thinking about it, he always had a faint feeling of uneasiness about the Hu family's actions in his heart, and he decided to go to the boat in the Longyin River to reconnoiter and see what the Hu family was doing.
Ruan Jingtian found diving equipment, including breathing apparatus, diving suits, half-face mirrors, diving knives, buoyancy adjustment devices, and diving gloves, armed himself, and dived into the Longyin River through the secret passage.
Half an hour later, Nguyen Jingtian dived under the medium-sized fishing boat parked in the middle of the river. At this time, the night was getting thicker, and it was pitch black on the Longyin River, only the ripples of the river.
Ruan Jingtian carefully observed the movement on the ship, and the sound of people talking came from the boat, but there was no warning, maybe they didn't think that someone would sneak on the ship.
Ruan Jingtian quietly climbed into the boat from the stern of the boat and examined the fishing boat. The above-deck configuration is in line with the characteristics of the fishing vessel, including the crew cabin, wheelhouse, captain's and chief officer's lounge, etc. Someone in the captain's lounge was talking. He slowly approached, and heard the words clearly.
"Tomorrow the last batch will be shipped, and all our explosives will be ready, when will the blasting experts arrive?"
"In about four days, now that the war is tight, it's hard to get someone like that. ”
"Gui Yejun, you said that so many explosives were detonated together, will it blow up the entire Longyin River? Our ship won't be affected, right?"
"When the time comes, I don't think there will be much of a problem. ”
"I heard that after opening the gantry, there must be a road map. We don't have a road map, can we find Dragon City?"
"The head of the family has already hired the most experienced archaeologists, and this is the last resort. ”
Hearing this, Ruan Jingtian was furious. The Hu family actually came up with the vicious idea of using explosives to blow up the dragon gate. According to the tonnage of this ship, it can hold at least dozens of tons of explosives, and if so many explosives are detonated, Ruan Jingtian even suspects that the two banks of the Longyin River will be blown away.
If it weren't for the fact that there would be the last batch of explosives tomorrow, Ruan Jingtian would have already gone on a killing spree.
The conversation continued.
"Why does the head of the family list Gong Xiaomu as the number one person who must be dealt with? ”
"This Gong Xiaomu is extremely suspicious. Although the last person Hu Shitian saw was not him, it was related to him. Hu Shitian's last appearance location was the Xianhai Hotel, and Gong Xiaomu actually knew the news in advance and told the merchant about it, which is one of the suspicious points.
Why did Gong Xiaomu know this news in advance? In addition, no one can confirm whether the person who appeared at the Xianhai Hotel was Hu Shitian (see Chapter 29), which is the second doubt.
Assuming that the person is Hu Shitian, but why did he give the roadmap of Dragon City to a gangster in the merchant, this is extremely inconsistent with Hu Shitian's character, this is the third doubt.
Therefore, I suspect that the person was not Hu Shitian, but someone pretended. If someone pretended to be Hu Shitian and appeared at the Xianhai Hotel, then Gong Xiaomu, who knew and spread the news, was the biggest suspect, and I even suspect that Gong Xiaomu had killed Hu Shitian. ”
"In terms of martial arts level, Gong Xiaomu can't beat Hu Shitian. ”
"Martial arts are cultivated, do you dare to guarantee that Gong Xiaomu will not cultivate hard, and will never be able to surpass Hu Shitian? At the Xile Hotel, Hu Xiaoyuan and Gong Xiaomu met and talked (see Chapter 55), I observed very carefully from the side, Gong Xiaomu's skill is definitely not inferior to Hu Shitian, and even when I face him, I dare not say that I have absolute certainty of victory.
"Ah, is he that good?"
"Hmph, Gong Xiaomu doesn't have the slightest humility of a junior, he loudly contradicts Qiuyuan, and directly asks for money from the official, have you ever seen such a rampant junior?"
"He's really crazy, he should be killed!"
"You can't kill him yet, you have to capture him alive, because he probably knows the road map. ”
"He has a road map? ”
"If Hu Shitian, who appeared in the Xianhai Hotel, is fake, then the road map obtained by the merchant is also fake, and the real road map is very likely to be in the hands of Gong Xiaomu. ”
When Ruan Jingtian heard this, a cold air went directly from the bottom of his heart to his forehead, this person called Guiye is too powerful, and after some scrubbing, he is infinitely close to the truth.
He decided that he must be cautious and cautious in the future, and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it. He wanted to kill a person who was suspicious and threatening to him, and the first target of the killing was the Hu family.
Ruan Jingtian did not dare to risk continuing to eavesdrop on the boat, so he gently dived into the water and dived back to his small bungalow. He was deeply jealous of the Hu family. However, he was also secretly ruthless, vowing to fight with the Hu family to the end to see how the Hu family captured him alive.
He was stunned for a moment, took out fifty gold bricks, removed the markers, and indiscriminately carved some inexplicable numbers. Thirty of the gold bricks were given to the members of the self-supporting team in Rabbit Ridge, because he had promised that if he defeated the Zheguo special forces detachment, each of them would have a gold brick. For the other twenty, he kept with him in case he needed it.
Ruan Jingtian walked out of the small bungalow, changed his appearance three times on the way, and returned to the Iron Hat Hutong, where Li Butterfly was waiting for him in the courtyard. (To be continued......)
