Jing Book

The group successfully landed on the island under the leadership of Gao Qiao, and then dispersed into hotels and nearby B&Bs for action. It was also at this time that Gao Qiao confirmed that Zhang Jingshu had not exaggerated before.

The prying eyes that seem to have nothing have been stuck to their bodies since they stepped into this small island, not to mention asking for news, even ordering a meal, they will be greeted warmly by the waiter, and their every move is under the attention of countless pairs of eyes , is really getting in the way.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingshu was eager to get rid of everything, and when Takahashi and his men settled down, they went out alone with their suitcases. Not long after, they brought back a message to Takahashi.

"Seven o'clock tonight, interview."

"where is it?"

"It's right here, your room." Zhang Jingshu entered the door with a chill in his body, and said, "This meeting can't be concealed and there is no need to hide it. A group of strangers have landed on the island, and this is not the peak tourist season. number?"

"How many forces are there on the island?"

"Your question is something that even a native of Kashima can't answer, so why bother me?"

Zhang Jingshu leaned on the chair and opened a bottle of drink for herself. After drinking half of it, she continued, "I only have a limited time to stay here. Whether this can be done or not depends on how you talk to him tonight. It depends on the amount of the commission." For my sake, let me remind you that the other party has news about what you want to ask."

After saying this, Zhang Jingshu stood up and said, "I'm going out to have a meal, whether you follow me or not, just don't let your subordinates follow me, it's too conspicuous."

Takahashi had other plans for a while, so he didn't want to prevent Zhang Jingshu from going out alone. Besides, it was freezing cold and there were no serious entertainment places on the island. Unless he had the leisure time to enjoy the sea view, Zhang Jingshu had to come back.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the door was knocked on time. Zhang Jingshu brought an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in. Suspicion flashed in Takahashi's eyes, and then he politely extended his right hand and said, "Nice meeting, hello .”

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man just glanced at Takahashi's hand, and said straight to the point: "Brother, don't use this set, and don't introduce it, let's talk about business."

Takahashi froze for a moment before withdrawing his hand, turned his head to look at Zhang Jingshu who was standing beside him, and said, "Okay."

"Don't look at it, he's not going anywhere, just stay here."

The middle-aged man took the main seat in front of the coffee table. From the corner of his eye, he looked around the room and said, "He is the middleman. I wouldn't meet you without him. I probably know what you want to talk about. Don't shy away from it."

"This……"

Seeing Takahashi's hesitation, the middle-aged man laughed, and said in Northeast-flavored Mandarin: "It's not a big deal, why are you so secretive? To tell you the truth, I'm a second-hand dealer, and buying and selling news is not done twice at once. Again, it’s just a few missing persons, or it’s something that happened three years ago, what do you have to worry about?”

Without further ado, Takahashi didn't hesitate anymore, he took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Do you have any impression of these people?"

The middle-aged man took the photo and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "These people... talk about whether they are smart or not, and whether they are stupid or not. They thought they covered up the things they messed up on the island very well, so they don't know what to do. Come with confidence."

"Have you seen them?"

"No, but Kashima is such a big place. I haven't seen them before, and it doesn't prevent me from knowing their news."

"then you……"

"Brother, even if my news is worthless, it is not for nothing." The middle-aged man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one and handed it to Gao Qiao, and said, "North Korean products, try something new?"

Seeing Takahashi shaking his head and refusing, the man started to smoke by himself, and after a few hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "100 million, no transfer, no cash, as long as the equivalent pure gold jewelry, bracelets and chains are fine, when you are ready , just order a 'drunk crab' in the restaurant downstairs, and my people will contact you naturally."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man stood up while biting his cigarette, waved to Zhang Jingshu, and when someone approached, he put his arms around Zhang Jingshu's waist.

"One price, don't think it's too expensive, my brother told you plainly, apart from me, no one else on this island would dare to sell your news."

"Also, man, I took it away, so don't try to think of him again. No matter what your status is outside, when you get here, you must act honestly and follow the rules, so that we can cooperate happily."

Takahashi was still guessing why Zhang Jingshu asked this local snake gang to help him, but now it seems that it was just a erotic transaction.

That's right, based on Zhang Jingshu's appearance, as long as he is willing to put down his body to coax others, how many good men will not be tempted?Even a son of Jiang Xu's background can't handle it, let alone this big old man in front of him.

Early the next morning, Takahashi sent three of his men out of the island to buy pure gold jewelry in the urban area. Dandong is a tourist city, and there are quite a lot of gold shops. The first time I sent someone down to order a meal.

An hour later, Takahashi learned the time and place of the second meeting on a card sent with the meal.

The night is getting darker, and the seaside with low tide seems to be extraordinarily cold.

In the dark, a group of people walked to a simple iron house by the sea against the night wind. The house looked like a temporary changing room specially built for tourists. A little candlelight has become the only warm color in the darkness.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Takahashi went to the appointment on time with his men and two boxes of gold jewelry.

"Everyone is here, let's start."

Gao Qiao's subordinates handed over the box and waited for the other party to inspect the goods. During this period, Zhang Jingshu sat by the middle-aged man's right hand without saying a word, while Gao Qiao's eyes swept across the strange old man sitting on the left side of the middle-aged man. .

"Let's talk about the rules first."

The middle-aged man sat up straight slightly, and said: "We are a one-shot deal. I will ensure the authenticity of the news. If you have any questions, just ask. We will tell you if we know, and we won't fool you with fake news if we don't. If you want to inquire about something after visiting this room, you will have to pay for it separately, understand?"

Takahashi nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Old Gou, tell him something."

The old man got the instructions, and only then did he tell the news he knew.

"The man you are looking for came to Kashima for the first time three years ago. I have never heard of such a person in this city before, but for some reason he offended the 'neighbors' and was issued a wanted warrant. As soon as the news came out, he wanted to run away, but unfortunately he was one step too late and was blocked by people."

"By whom?" Takahashi immediately asked, "Is he dead?"

"I was blocked by a few outsiders. I don't know their identities. I haven't seen them dead or not. I can't give you an accurate word. But according to common sense, people are more likely to be alive. After all, alive People have value."

Seeing Takahashi's pensive look, the old man went on to say: "At that time, the gang was in the dark, and the group moved quickly. When I got the news and rushed over, the house was empty, but they left in a hurry, and the mopping-up people might not be there. Be careful, that house has been empty and no one has lived in it, if you want to see it, you can ask someone to take you to the scene to have a look, I think you are not ordinary people, maybe you can really see something."

"Okay," Takahashi said decisively, "Take us there now."

Takahashi knew very well that he would not be able to get any valuable information if he asked again, so listening was better than watching, and walking around the scene of the incident gave him the confidence.

"Brother, stay here."

When Takahashi walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man.

"You are a straightforward person, and I like to do business with you. I don't care about it, and we don't need to talk nonsense." The middle-aged man glanced over the two suitcases, got up and said to Gao Qiao: "Who are you, I'm not interested in knowing, I don't bother to ask what you want to investigate, for the sake of your money, I'll just say one more thing, you are not the first person to investigate this matter."

Takahashi instantly understood what the man meant, and turned his head to wink at a certain subordinate. The subordinate was Chinese and often dealt with people in gray areas. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he knew it was time for him to step forward. Take the initiative to step forward and lower your posture to show favor.

"Brother, look, we don't know each other well, and it's so dark outside, can you please show us the way? By the way, let's have a meal together?"

The man laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said: "It's fine to eat, it's late at night, you can't digest it. It's okay to lead the way, I will accompany you for a walk!"

Zhang Jingshu got up and wanted to follow, but the middle-aged man stopped him with his hand.

"You guys, send him back to my place." The man turned around and whispered to Zhang Jingshu after ordering his subordinates: "You are leaving tomorrow, so you have to spend time with me tonight, and I will go back when I am done."

How to accompany the law, the people present suddenly showed a tacit smile.

Takahashi and his party were taken to the house where Xiongyi's accident happened in Long Island. The middle-aged man pointed to the large rusty iron gate and said, "This house is too old and the location is remote. No one is willing to rent it even during the peak tourist season. Idle, the group you are looking for signed a short-term rental contract back then, and the owner of the house didn’t bother to take care of it after the accident, so he just locked the big lock, and the key is placed under the fifth floor tile on the right.”

Takahashi's men squatted down to turn over the bricks and found a rusty key.

"Look slowly, I won't go in."

The middle-aged man was smoking in the yard with a few of his subordinates, and had no desire to inquire about the next actions of Takahashi and the others.

Half an hour later, Takahashi came out with someone, with a solemn expression on his face.

Although the room had been roughly cleaned, the old blood stains became visible when photographed with a special instrument.

"Brother, how are you?" The middle-aged man patted the cigarette ash that accidentally fell on his body, and said, "If you are satisfied, we should also leave."

"Satisfied." Takahashi walked over and asked in a low voice, "I just want to negotiate another deal with you."

"What else do you want to know?"

"You said earlier that someone else came to investigate this matter?"

"That's right, about a week after the incident happened, someone found a way to find me here."

"I want to know who this person is." Takahashi made a gesture while speaking.

"readily!"

The middle-aged man smiled satisfied, and said: "According to the rules, I never ask about the identity of the buyer, but since you are so sincere, brother, I can't push the door-to-door business out."

In his own territory, the man was not afraid of Takahashi's repudiation, so he directly told Takahashi the news.

"I don't know the identity of that person, but I have seen what he looks like with my own eyes."

After listening to the middle-aged man's description of the man's appearance, Takahashi immediately locked on Feng Zhi as the candidate.

Looking at it now, Feng Zhi's disappearance back then may not have been due to his arrest, but he probably hid himself because he saw the situation was not good.

At this point in the investigation, there was finally some substantial progress, and Takahashi heaved a sigh of relief.

Feng Zhi is one of Nagashima Yuki's confidantes in China and has participated in many counterinsurgency operations. If he can be found, the disconnected line in 907 may be reconnected.

But...if Feng Zhi hadn't been arrested, where would he hide?Still hiding for three years, even hiding from the organization's major investigation some time ago?
