The spy's words were confirmed by Shen Liangqiu, and Qi Ning nodded and continued to ask: "The information you got from the doctor? How do you know that what the doctor said is true?"
The spy explained: "Returning to the Marquis, Doctor Hu... The doctor's surname was Hu. When he was first kidnapped, he happened to be... happened to be the young guard. Black Tiger Shark was very polite to them and did not embarrass them. Three meals a day are also provided on time, and they eat better than us...!"
Qi Ning thought to himself that this Black Tiger Shark is really a character who is good at winning people's hearts.
"Those doctors were naturally resentful at first. Black Tiger Shark sent a person to take care of each doctor. In fact, it was to keep an eye on them and prevent them from escaping and seeking death." The spy continued: "The younger one has been guarding Hu for a while. Doctor, it's a coincidence that when I was chatting with Doctor Hu, I found out that I was related to him. Doctor Hu didn't know anyone else on the island, so... I got along very well with him. .”
Qi Ning thought to himself that this was really a coincidence, but Doctor Hu and the spy were both from the vicinity of Gulin City in the East China Sea. If they were really related to each other, it would not be impossible.
"Among the doctors, Doctor Hu has the most superb medical skills, so he is very popular with Black Tiger Shark." The spy said: "Whenever Black Tiger Shark feels unwell, it is Doctor Hu who helps him see a doctor. Doctor Hu treats him privately. There is no other friend who only has a close relationship with Xiao Xiao. Black Tiger Shark sometimes rewards him with some good wine, and he will secretly share it with Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao will often tell him some things about the sea...!"
Shen Liangqiu said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about what's important."
"Yes, yes, yes...!" The spy said hurriedly: "Not long ago, Doctor Hu told Xiao Xiao in private that Black Tiger Shark was suffering from a sudden illness and would not recover for a while. Black Tiger Shark also asked him not to publicize it to the outside world. Xiao Xiao knew After this incident, I did not act rashly, thinking that I had to confirm that the black tiger shark was indeed sick... before I could report it to General Shen."
At this time, Qi Ning had slowly withdrawn the sword and handed it to Tang Hui beside him. Tang Hui bowed slightly, took it with both hands, and sheathed the sword.
"In those few days, Xiao Xiao and Lao Fang...!" He glanced at the spy next to him and then continued: "The two of us observed carefully to see if there was anything wrong. After a few days, we knew what Dr. Hu had done. That’s true.”
"How do you know for sure?"
"Back to the Marquis, Black Tiger Shark's whereabouts have been erratic. His men are scattered everywhere. Others don't know where they are, but Black Tiger Shark knows them all." The spy said: "Black Tiger The longest time a shark can stay in one place is no more than three days. Wherever he goes, Dr. Hu will follow him. Dr. Hu and I only meet once or twice a month, but this time Dr. Hu never leaves the island. , that proves that the black tiger shark has also been on the island, staying there for five or six days."
Shen Liangqiu whispered from the side: "Master Hou, the black tiger shark is very cunning. It is very unusual for him to suddenly change his habits."
Qi Ning nodded and didn't say much. He just stared at the spy's eyes. The spy knew what Qi Ning meant and continued: "Although the black tiger shark did not leave the island in those days, it never came out. One night Xiao Xiao and Hu When the doctor was drinking in private, he pretended to casually ask him when he was leaving. He told me that he might leave in two days. He also said that Black Tiger Shark's condition was unstable and he needed to find a remote place to rest quietly. I was afraid that he would be suspicious, so I didn’t ask any more questions, but secretly reported the situation to General Shen.”
"After I received the information, I found an opportunity to explain the situation to the Marquis." Shen Liangqiu said softly.
Qi Ning said "hmm" and finally asked: "Did you also learn about the location of the black tiger shark you brought back this time from Doctor Hu?"
"Yes." The spy immediately said: "After sending the news, General Shen just knew that Black Tiger Shark was sick and could not catch him, so he wanted to find out where Black Tiger Shark went to recuperate. That night Doctor Hu approached Xiao Xiao, who knew that he needed to figure out the whereabouts of the black tiger shark, but Xiao Xiao couldn't do it alone, and he was so determined that he wanted Doctor Hu to help him."
"Let him help?"
"When Doctor Hu was chatting with Xiao Xiao, he often thought about escaping, but the sea was vast and he had to follow the black tiger shark at all times, so there was no chance of escaping." The spy said: "Even if he was really given a boat, he would He couldn't tell the direction at sea, couldn't sail a boat, and could only die at sea. The youngster knew he wanted to go home, so he decided to take a risk that night, and success or failure depended on it."
Qi Ning smiled lightly and said, "It seems that you are a very courageous person."
"I don't dare." The spy said, "I just wanted to atone for my sins. That night, I persuaded Doctor Hu to abandon the dark side and turn to the light. I was originally worried that Doctor Hu would tell Black Tiger Shark, but who knew that as soon as I said it, he immediately agreed. , and also asked me to promise to take him out. Now that I think about it, Doctor Hu has always been close to Xiao, just to let Xiao help him escape from the black tiger shark one day. Xiao told him that as long as he can figure out the black tiger shark, Where the tiger shark ends up, Xiao Xiao will have a way to save him when the time comes. Doctor Hu has no other choice and agrees...!"
Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly and said, "Doctor Hu has been following Black Tiger Shark all the time. It's not difficult to figure out where he is going." After a pause, he said, "But a shrewd person like Black Tiger Shark, How could he tell Doctor Hu where he would stay before setting off? This is not the character of Black Tiger Shark."
"What General Shen said is absolutely true. Before Black Tiger Shark left, he did not disclose his whereabouts to Doctor Hu." The spy explained: "Doctor Hu is also a cautious person and secretly inquired about information. Black Tiger Shark wanted to leave the island and took three people with him. Those three people were all the absolute confidants of Black Tiger Shark. Wherever Black Tiger Shark went, those three people would follow him. That night, Black Tiger Shark asked three people to come into the house to discuss. After the three people left, Doctor Hu went over. Delivering medicine to Black Tiger Shark, I saw a map.”
"Map?" Qining said in a deep voice: "What map?"
At this moment, Shen Liangqiu beside him had already presented an extremely simple map. Qining took it. It was an ordinary piece of paper with a sea map drawn on it with fine pens. Shen was surprised. Liang Qiu explained: "Master Hou, this is modeled after that map."
Qining looked carefully and saw that on the map, there was a circle drawn on an unnamed island on the sea. He stood up with the map and walked to the long table. He compared it. The unnamed island marked on the big picture on the table and the nameless island in his hand were The circled dots on the map are exactly right.
"Master Marquis, Doctor Hu discovered the chart and knew there must be something fishy, so he kept waiting." The spy said: "After the black tiger shark fell asleep, Doctor Hu looked at the chart carefully and saw a line on the map. There were obviously places where he had been poked by his fingers, and he felt that there must be something wrong with it. Before the black tiger shark woke up, he copied the picture and then drew a circle on the place where the finger had poked in the original picture."
Qi Ning was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, it cannot be proved that the nameless island must be the place where the black tiger shark is going."
The spy said: "After Black Tiger Shark woke up, he told Doctor Hu to prepare. They were going to leave the island overnight, and the entourage was the three confidants they had summoned before. Doctor Hu then found an excuse to go out and bring this The picture was handed over to Xiao Xiao, and that night Doctor Hu and Black Tiger Shark left the island." He lay down on the ground and said: "Master Hou, every word Xiao Xiao said is true, and not a word of deception is true. I beg Mr. Hou. Insightful!"
Qining said "Oh" and smiled lightly: "How did you two escape and come here?"
The spy said: "The younger one has been at sea for seven or eight years. He has been drifting on the sea all year round and is very familiar with the situation on the sea. After the black tiger shark left, the island became a little scattered, and no one paid attention to Lao Fang and me. The man stole a boat and escaped at night.”
"If you leave like this, won't anyone notice?"
Lao Fang, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Back to the Marquis, Black Tiger Shark is not here. Even if one or two people are lost, no one will notice it. Even if they find it, no one will take care of it."
Qi Ning nodded slightly and winked at Shen Liangqiu. Shen Liangqiu understood and winked at Zhu Shuo. Zhu Shuo then stepped forward and led the two of them down. When the two spies left, Qi Ning Then he stood up and walked to the long table. He held the sketch drawn by Doctor Hu in one hand and looked at the sea chart on the long table.
"Master Marquis, on the drawings they brought back, the nameless island does exist, and it is marked on this chart of the East China Sea." Shen Liangqiu stood next to Qining and pointed to the nameless island on the chart: " Preliminary judgment is that the Black Tiger Shark should be hiding here. That night, the Black Tiger Shark summoned three cronies, probably to discuss where to hide. There were fingertip marks left on the Unnamed Island, and it must be them. Definite place.”
Qining said: "It is possible, but it is not completely certain. If someone accidentally pokes it there and it is not the place they chose, then we will make errors in judgment."
"What the Marquis said makes sense." Shen Liangqiu said: "But such an opportunity must not be missed. This stolen map has made it impossible for the two spies to return. The general has no eyes on Black Tiger Shark and missed it. It is very difficult to find a better opportunity this time." He clenched his fist and said, "No matter what, I will capture the Black Tiger Shark and use his head to pay tribute to the Governor's spirit in heaven."
Shen Liangqiu said this in front of Tang Hui. Qining knew that Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo should already know the news of Tantai Zhilin's death. If they could let these two people know the news, obviously these two subordinates Will gain Shen Liangqiu's trust very much.
Qi Ning pondered for a moment and finally asked: "What is General Shen's plan?"
Shen Liangqiu lowered his voice and said: "Master Marquis, I have made preparations. In the name of patrolling the sea area, sixteen ships will be sent out to sea. They will set off in three groups. The other two groups are just as cover. Only one of them will carry out this task. The first arrest of a black tiger shark."
"How many manpower are you planning to use to carry out this arrest plan?"
"General Bei will call the three fastest ships in the navy." Shen Liangqiu said: "Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo participated in this arrest plan. They each took one, and Bei Ji himself also took one. On each ship With thirty people, this way, the movement will not be too big. We will estimate the time and attack this unknown island at night. If the news is accurate, the black tiger shark will have no way to escape."
