Palmolive Road, No. 119.
"Where should I arrange to meet her?" Thompson asked Xia Lei, who was sitting opposite him, very carefully. Until now, he didn't know the identity of the mixed-race young man in front of him.
Xia Lei didn't speak, he was thinking.
"Is it here?" Thompson actually had his own guess.
Xia Lei looked at Thompson, "Are you familiar with her? What reason did you use to ask her out?"
These are two questions.
Thompson thought for a moment before saying: "Since the beginning of the Shepherd Project, she has come to Area 51 every once in a while to check on the progress. She and I are also familiar with each other. If I want a reason to ask her out... I have to think about it. .”
Xia Lei reminded: "She is a very cautious and cunning woman. If you don't have a reason for her to believe it, not only will she not come to the appointment, but she will also doubt you. So, you have to think about it carefully."
Thompson nodded, then began to think. His brows were furrowed, and he looked very troubled, because in his mind not only Hattori Meii looked like him, but also 20 million US dollars. His mood now is completely different from when Xia Lei forced him in the desert. He likes Xia Lei's words very much, that is, people sometimes need a gambling spirit. As long as he makes this move, his life will be different from now on! However, it was very difficult to get the 20 million US dollars, and he never thought that it would be so difficult to ask a woman out to meet.
At this time, Saimu came over. He waved to Xia Lei and motioned for Xia Lei to come over and talk.
Xia Lei stood up and walked towards her, saying in Arabic: "What's the matter?"
In front of Thompson, neither he nor any member of the Zodiac Team could speak Chinese. This was a rule he set and he himself had to abide by it. This provision is to prevent Thompson from linking him and the members of the Zodiac Team to China.
Saimu, however, seemed more cautious. He simply leaned into Xia Lei's ear, and then said in Arabic: "I just received news that Hattori Mei's mother, Hattori Wendy, has been caught."
"Live?"
Saimu nodded.
Xia Lei suddenly smiled and pulled Saimu towards the backyard. Although Thompson did not understand Arabic, it was better to avoid him for safety reasons.
In the backyard, Tsukino Kyoko was taking a bath in the swimming pool. The kunoichi's way of bathing is unique. She holds a samurai sword in her hand. She practices the sword underwater, using the resistance of the water to practice the speed and strength of her sword. Her duel with her master Kenichi Yagyu would come soon, and she was already preparing for that day.
The appearance of Xia Lei and Saimu did not affect Tsukino Kyoko, who continued to practice her sword underwater. She just moved her position to a corner of the swimming pool, covering her body with a wall inlaid with tiles. After all, she only has a minimal set of bikinis on her body. If only Xia Lei comes over, she will not hide. If Xia Lei is willing, she can even throw away the little fabric she has on her body to practice swordsmanship. However, Xia Lei had Sayimu by her side, but she didn't want to let out even the slightest hint of her love.
After Tsukino Kyoko hid, the two men's eyes returned.
Xia Lei said: "Where is Wendy Hattori now?"
Saimu said: "She is still in Japan. Her captors are going to chop off her head, freeze her head in a freezer, and take it to your four female knights to collect the bounty. Yours The bounty for catching her alive is double that of killing her, which is 40 million US dollars, which is enough to make those killers do crazy things."
"Who caught it?" Xia Lei asked casually.
Saimu said: "It's a guy nicknamed Mechanic. As for the name, the killer used fake names. My people didn't investigate him, so there's no need."
Xia Lei said: "What your people did is right. Investigating a professional killer will make him suspicious. However, Giovanna and the others should know about such a thing first. How did you know about it first?"
Saimu smiled, "The guy called the Mechanic hasn't contacted them yet. I said that they and the people from the rescue society are only suitable for spying on low-level intelligence. Finding people is what they are best at, but they have to spy on high-level intelligence. Not just intelligence on them and their brothers and sisters.”
This was the way the Iraqis were proving the worth of him and his intelligence network.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "You are right, but you and Giovanna will have stronger intelligence capabilities when they are combined."
Toot toot, toot toot…
Xia Lei's satellite phone suddenly rang.
Xia Lei took out the satellite phone, took a look at it, and then answered the call.
"Boss, I have brought you good news." Giovanna's voice.
Xia Lei said: "What good news?" He actually already knew what Giovanna was going to tell him, but in order to avoid possible conflicts between them and Saimu, he decided to tell him what Saimu had just told him. Ignore it. In his eyes, both Saimu and his intelligence network and Giovanna's rescue association's intelligence network were equally important. A very simple example is that Saimu and his people searched for more than a month but failed to find the whereabouts of Zhu Xuanyue, but Giovanna and the others found it.
Sure enough, Giovanna then said the same thing on the phone.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "This is really good news."
Giovanna said: "The killer named Mechanic sent me a video. I have sent it to your mailbox. Go check it out. You will like it."
Xia Lei said: "I will go and see it."
"By the way, he asked me whether he should be beheaded live on video, or whether he should kill and behead him and bring the head to me. I can't make such a decision, so I want to ask for your opinion." Giovanna said.
Xia Lei thought for a moment and said, "Let him bring people to the United States."
"Bringing people to America?"
"Yes, bring it to the United States." Xia Lei said: "The bonus for catching someone alive is 40 million U.S. dollars. Why should I give him double the bonus? You tell him that you can pay him 20 million U.S. dollars first, and he will After the person is brought to the United States, I will pay him another 20 million US dollars."
Giovanna said: "Now that Japan is completely closed, it is a little difficult to bring people to the United States."
Xia Lei said: "If you ask him to take people to the four northern islands controlled by Russia, and then transport them from Russia to the United States via Europe, this route will be very safe."
"Why didn't I think of the four northern islands? Then it should be no problem. I will contact him now." Giovanna said.
"By the way, how are you doing over there?" Xia Lei asked.
Giovanna said: "We have recruited many criminals, villains and desperadoes, and some armed organizations have also begun to contact us. At present, we have about two hundred people, and the team is still growing."
"That's good, wait for my call." Xia Lei hung up the phone, and then said to Saimu: "Continue to keep an eye on the office of Veco Co., Ltd., but ask your people to be careful and not to be discovered. "
"Okay, but don't worry, boss, even if we are discovered, my people will not expose this place, because they don't know about it at all." Saimu said, and then left the backyard.
Xia Lei took out his hacker computer and sat on the beach chair next to the swimming pool to check the email sent to him by Giovanna. He quickly found the email Giovanna sent him and opened the video file of her arrival.
In the video, a man wearing a black hood is pulling a woman's head. The woman is golden and blue-eyed, and is a standard white person. Although I have reached a certain age, my figure is not out of shape. It is bigger where it should be, and it is curved where it should be, and the charm is still there. She must have been a stunner when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to attract a man like Masao Hattori. Her appearance is similar to Hattori Mei's, so based on the first impression, Xia Lei was sure that this woman was Hattori Wendy, Hattori Mei's mother.
The woman's mouth was still bloodshot, but her eyes revealed a stubborn look. This is also somewhat similar to Hattori Mei.
The man in the black hood began to speak, in English, "Say your name to the camera!"
"Bah!" This was Wendy Hattori's response.
Snapped! The man wearing a black hood slapped Hattori Wendy's face. The latter's head suddenly tilted, and a slap mark suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, and her delicate skin soon became swollen. stand up.
This mechanic is really ruthless!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped…
Xia Lei thought that a slap would solve the problem, but the man wearing a black hood didn't even ask a second question. He grabbed Wendy Hattori's head with one hand and slapped her face with the other hand. go. Each slap was very hard, and Wendy Hattori's head moved under his hands, and her beautiful face quickly deformed.
Xia Lei couldn't help but have a question in his mind, is this the right thing to do? In order to take revenge and to deal with the threat from the Hattori family, he used this unjust method. If something like this was put in a movie, he should be designated as the villain and then killed by Mei Hattori and her hero boyfriend. Mei Hattori will kiss her hero boyfriend next to his dead body, and the show will end.
This thought made Xia Lei couldn't help but smile bitterly. Watching the mechanic torture Hattori Wendy, he did feel a little guilty in his heart, but it was just a feeling. He was at war with the Hattori family and the entire samurai community in Japan. This was a war, and there was no distinction between justice and injustice in war, only victory and defeat. And history has always been written by the victors.
"Damn it, do you want me to fuck you before you speak?" The mechanic said and really started to unbutton his pants.
Only then did Hattori Wendy panic, and she said: "I... I am Hattori Wendy."
The mechanic said: "Isn't this right? Bitch." Then he turned and looked in the direction of the camera and said: "My name is the mechanic, I captured Wendy Hattori, and the bounty is mine. I Just one question, how do you want her to die?" Then he made a phone call gesture with his hand.
The video is over.
Xia Lei closed the hacker laptop.
At this time, Thompson came to the backyard and said, "Mr. James, I have thought of a way to ask Hattori Mei out."
Xia Lei said: "What is the solution? Let's talk about it."
Thompson leaned into Xia Lei's ear, "My method is..."
