Starting from floating in Hong Kong

Chapter 435 Grab Time

After a night of bumpy driving, the car stopped at five o'clock in the morning.

The professor was leaning on the back seat and was catching up on sleep. Just as the car slowed down, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?"

"We've arrived in Osaka, stop for a rest." The messenger turned around from the front row and asked, "Sir, do you want something to eat?"

The professor raised his wrist and looked at the time on the watch, and looked at his subordinates who hadn't slept all night, hesitated for a few seconds and smiled, "Go to the convenience store next door to buy some food and drinks for the brothers, and let everyone take a rest. "

The messenger nodded, got out of the car with an assistant, and walked towards the convenience store nearby.

The rest of the people also took the opportunity to get out of the car, move their stiff hands and feet, take a breath of fresh air, and at the same time refuel and check the car.

The high tension and running around for a long time made them all exhausted, and they had a rare chance to breathe, so they naturally relaxed.

The messenger gave some instructions, walked into the nearby convenience store with his assistant, looked at the enthusiastic clerk, and said, "Bring me [-] pieces of bread, [-] bottles of mineral water, is there any hot coffee..."

The clerk looked at the messenger in astonishment. It was not yet dawn, the replenishment truck had not arrived yet, and there were not many supplies in the convenience store.

"Sorry sir, today's bread has not been delivered, and there is not much mineral water left."

The messenger frowned, "Instant noodles, how many are left, bring them to me, and mineral water. Is there any coffee?"

"Only instant." The clerk responded with a smile, "There is also oden here, do you want it?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, a group of people suddenly poured in outside the convenience store.

These people were wearing uniform black trench coats with almost identical woolen sweaters and shirts inside. They rushed into the store yelling and started yelling.

"Quick, bring all the bread, mineral water, and coffee!"

"Is there any instant noodles?"

"Any beer?"

"No matter what it is, eat and drink!"

"Bastard, what time do you still want to drink!"

Seeing so many people, the clerk was in a hurry, "I'm sorry, we don't have enough bread and water in our store."

"Convenience stores are out of stock? What kind of store do you still open?"

"Hey, you guys are too perfunctory in doing things, don't you guys prepare the goods in the early morning?"

The clerk apologized in panic, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, we will arrange for someone to pick up the goods, please wait a moment."

"When will I wait?!"

These people complained one after another that they had been driving all night, tired and hungry, how could they bear it.

The clerks were complaining too much. No one expected that so many people would come at five o'clock in the morning, and the two groups of people wanted a lot of goods.
Seeing so many people squeezed into the small convenience store, the courier pulled his assistant and slowly retreated into the corner, frowning, instinctively feeling that something was wrong with these people.

The next second, a middle-aged man came in surrounded by several people in windbreakers.

The others hurriedly put down the things in their hands and bowed to the middle-aged man together, "Section Chief Takahashi."

Section Chief Takahashi reprimanded with a stern face: "What a mess it looks like, don't lose face to our Metropolitan Police Department!"

"Hay!"

"Cheer up and tidy up. We will take a day off in Osaka today and start tomorrow."

"Hay!"

The messenger's heart sank when he heard the words Police Department. The assistant next to him slammed into the shelf next to him in a panic, making a noise, and his face turned pale with fright.

Fortunately, the courier was relatively calm. He pulled his assistant and lowered his head to sort out the scattered goods on the shelves, and then slowly pretended to be nonchalant and prepared to go out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the clerk hurriedly shouted: "Sir, your things."

With this call, everyone in the store turned their attention to the messenger and his assistant at the door.

The messenger reacted very quickly, and quickly said: "No need, let these things be given to them, they need them more than me."

The people in the surrounding Metropolitan Police Department immediately beamed with joy, and a few of them thanked the messenger perfunctorily, and were about to ask the clerk for something.

Takahashi frowned and reprimanded: "Stop, what do you look like?"

While speaking, he took the packaged bag from the clerk, turned around and handed it to the messenger, "Thank you for your kindness, let's wait."

The messenger was startled, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly seeing Takahashi looking at him, he immediately changed his words, "Thank you so much!"

"Are you going to Osaka too?" Takahashi asked casually.

"No, we just came out of Osaka." The messenger replied, "We are all from Shikoku, and we are going to Kyoto."

"Oh, then you are going the wrong way, this road is to Nara, and you have to take another road to Kyoto."

The messenger was slightly taken aback, pretending to be annoyed, "That's right, thank you, we almost made a detour, this is our first time here, thank you for your guidance."

After talking about the results, I solemnly thanked him, turned around and walked out of the convenience store.

And Takahashi has been standing at the door, watching the messenger walk towards the convoy, staring at them expressionlessly.

……

Once in the car, the messenger reported in detail what happened just now.

After finishing speaking, everyone in the car fell silent, and some subconsciously pulled out their guns.

"Put the gun away." The professor sternly reprimanded, "Don't panic, we haven't been exposed, otherwise what came here would not be plainclothes, but a special assault force."

Only then did everyone in the car calm down a little bit, but the uneasy atmosphere was still spreading everywhere.

The messenger looked at the professor with a sullen face, "The convenience store is full of plainclothes police officers. It looks like they just came from Tokyo. What should we do?"

An assistant suggested, "We can't go to Kobe, let's turn around and go back to Tokyo first."

"No, we can't go back." The professor said decisively, "We don't know what's going on in Tokyo now, and it's easy to be dangerous if you bump into it."

"What's more, the messenger told them just now that we are going to Kyoto. At this time, when we turn around and return to Tokyo, we have to pass through Nara, and we will immediately reveal our truth." The professor said with a sullen face, "The bureaucrats of the Metropolitan Police Department are not fools, they can immediately detect problems. Come."

"Then what should we do?" the messenger asked, "These people from the Metropolitan Police Department must also go to Kobe, otherwise there would be such a coincidence."

"Let's move on, let's go to Kobe." The professor said calmly, "They are going to spend a day in Osaka, and we will arrive in Kobe ahead of them. There is still at least one day left, which is enough time for us to complete the transaction and then leave Japan .”

The messenger took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay."

The professor knew he was taking a risk, but he had no choice.

The nuclear material he was holding was a hot potato, and he had to get rid of it quickly.

Moreover, he has already made an agreement with the buyer, and the buyer has paid a deposit. If he does not go, it is equivalent to breaking the contract.

He couldn't afford to offend the buyer this time.

What's more, people from the Metropolitan Police Department are also rushing to Kobe. If the buyers find out about this situation, they will think that the professor betrayed them, and the subsequent troubles will not be so easy to settle.

Now no matter what, we can't give up halfway. We have to rush to Kobe to complete the transaction before the plainclothes from the Metropolitan Police Department arrive, and then get the money and run away.
