One day later, we decided to visit the island. ￠￡,
In the dim dusk, a silver Ilyushin-38 reconnaissance plane landed at the military airport on Etoru Island. The hatch opened, and Xia Lei and Long Bing stepped off the IL-38. A group of Russian soldiers looked at the two Chinese people curiously, guessing their purpose.
The purpose of Xia Lei and Long Bing is actually very simple, that is to use the Ming Dynasty compass to determine the location of the fourth treasure spot.
The Russian Air Force's IL-38 flew around Japan, and the Ming Dynasty compass never left Xia Lei's hands. During this flight, the compass also gave a result, that is, the general direction of the fourth treasure spot was the Ryukyu Islands, not the Japanese mainland.
This result surprised Xia Lei, but when he thought about it carefully, he no longer felt surprised.
During the Ming Dynasty of China, Ryukyu was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and successive kings were canonized by the Ming Dynasty emperor. Later, Japan occupied the Ryukyu Islands and included them in Japan's territory. However, the voices in that land demanding independence and restoration of the country have never stopped. And that compass was a product of the Ming Dynasty, so it was somewhat reasonable that the fourth treasure cache was in a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Under the attention of a large group of Russian soldiers, Xia Lei and Long Bing walked towards a barracks.
"This result is really unexpected." Long Bing frowned slightly, "The compass vibrates the most near the Ryukyu Islands, and it clearly points to Okinawa. There is a US military base there, and our actions will be very dangerous."
Okinawa is dotted with U.S. military bases, with more than 20,000 soldiers stationed in four major branches, including the sea, land, air, and marines. It is a rare base among U.S. military overseas bases with a complete range of arms. It can be said that this island is a veritable military island. It is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier built by the United States in the Western Pacific, blocking China's throat passage to the Western Pacific.
Digging for treasures in such a place is like setting up a stall to sell drugs next to the police station gate. It is self-evident how high the risk index is.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I hope the fourth treasure spot is not under the runway of the US military base. Otherwise, how can we convince the US military to let us dig up their runway?"
Long Bing glared at Xia Lei, "Do you still have the heart to joke now? If it is really under the US military runway, I will give you a shovel and a hoe, and you go dig it."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "It can't be such a coincidence."
"How to deal with the matter between Gu Kewu and Gu Kewen?" Long Bing changed the topic, "We can't take Gu Kewu to Okinawa."
"Gu Kewen asked to meet in Tokyo. It seems that I have to go to Tokyo first. After solving Gu Kewen and Gu Kewu, I will go to Okinawa." Xia Lei looked at Long Bing, "So, you go to Okinawa first and settle down. I almost came over after that.”
"You want to take Gu Kewu to Tokyo alone?"
Xia Lei nodded, "Gu Kewen and I have a private matter to resolve. Trust me, I will come to Okinawa to meet you."
"Have you decided yet?"
"I have decided."
"Okay, then I have decided. I will accompany you to Tokyo, and then go to Okinawa with you."
Xia Lei, "..."
Long Bing said: “You are the only person in charge of the of cia.”
Xia Lei was embarrassed, but Long Bing was very determined. Based on his understanding of her, he knew that he could no longer convince her to go to Okinawa and wait for him first. However, if he takes Long Bing to Tokyo, Long Bing will definitely know the handle Gu Kewen has about Shentu Tianyin, which is also a trouble.
"Should we tell Long Bing the truth?" Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "She is an extremely patriotic woman and cannot tolerate sand in her eyes. If she knew that Tianyin had acquired so many state-owned assets through Gu Kewen, she would What will be the reaction?”
If it was something else, he wouldn't hide it from Long Bing, but this matter only involved Shentu Tianyin, so he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.
Xia Lei was silent, while Long Bing stared at Xia Lei with an expressionless face and sharp eyes. That look seemed to penetrate Xia Lei's eyes and his soul.
"In this case, let's go back and prepare first, and take a boat to Japan in the early morning." Xia Lei avoided Long Bing's gaze and continued to walk towards the barracks.
Long Bing must have some guesses in his mind, but Xia Lei didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.
The barracks were Russian military barracks, and Gu Kewu was locked in one of the rooms.
Until now, Gu Kewu's head is covered with a black hood, handcuffed and handcuffed to a wooden chair, unable to move and unable to see the outside world. Doing so is a commitment to the Russian troops stationed on Eltor Island and they cannot be involved. Therefore, it is necessary not to let Gu Kewu know where this place is.
This operation used the IL-38 reconnaissance aircraft, which was of course expensive. Xia Lei paid relevant parties half a million US dollars. The US$500,000 also includes the cost of helping him smuggle into Japan, but even so, the cost is very expensive.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Kewu subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the door. He couldn't see Xia Lei and Long Bing walking into the room, which made him a little nervous, "Who?"
"Me." Xia Lei said.
"What is this place?" Gu Kewu asked.
Xia Lei said: "Japan, we have arrived in Japan."
"Why are you still covering my head? Take off the hood for me." Gu Kewu struggled for a while, but couldn't get up.
"I will naturally reveal it to you when it's time to reveal it to you. Just be honest and don't speak casually, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable." Xia Lei warned her.
Gu Kewu said: "No, take off my hood. I can't see anything. How do I know if you lied to me?"
Long Bing walked over and struck Gu Kewu's carotid artery with a knife. Gu Kewu groaned and fainted immediately.
Xia Lei looked at Long Bing speechlessly.
Long Bing shrugged, "What nonsense are you talking to him about? Just keep him quiet. That's all."
Knock someone unconscious and they will of course become quiet. It's just that it always feels a bit weird for a woman to solve problems in this way.
"He can't hear anything now." Long Bing said tentatively: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Well..." Xia Lei didn't know how to speak. What's worse was that he hadn't even decided whether to tell Long Bing the truth.
Long Bing sighed, "It seems you don't regard me as a friend you can trust."
This sentence is already an angry one.
Xia Lei quickly said: "No, why do you think so? In my eyes, you are even my relative, but I don't know how to tell you about this matter, it will make you lose your principles..."
Before Xia Lei could say anything, there was a knock on the door, and a Russian soldier said in Russian: "Sir, I have brought you dinner."
Xia Lei opened the door and took two dinners from the Russian soldiers, including bread, cheese and two sausages. Xia Lei took over the dinner, but the Russian soldier still stood at the door with no sign of leaving. Instead, he looked at Xia Lei as if he was waiting for something.
"Uh, sorry, I almost forgot, this is a tip for you, thank you." Xia Lei took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to the Russian soldier.
Xia Lei's generosity made the Russian soldier smile. He said: "Sir, the fishing boat prepared for you will set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning. It is still early. You can have a sleep, and then I will call you again."
"Smuggling to Japan on a fishing boat?"
"Of course, should we still use warships?" The Russian soldier made a joke and said, "Don't worry, they are Japanese fishing boats and Japanese fishermen. There will be no problems."
"I know, thank you." Xia Lei said. After the Russian soldiers left, he reached out and closed the door.
Long Bing took a piece of dinner from Xia Lei and walked to the table to eat alone. She was still angry, and you could tell when she was angry.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and sat down at the table with the food, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone. Because this matter is very important to me. Once it leaks out, It will bring a lot of trouble to Tianyin and me."
Long Bing then looked up at Xia Lei, and she nodded gently.
Xia Lei told the whole story, and then looked at Long Bing.
Long Bing didn't react at all, just chewing the food slowly. It was as if she had just heard an insignificant and trivial matter.
But Long Bing's silence made Xia Lei a little nervous, "I told you just now that this matter will make you lose your principles, but you have to force me to say it. Once I say it, you won't be able to say anything. If you don’t tell me, what do you mean?”
Long Bing then said calmly: "I have not lost my principles. After this mission is over, I will arrest Shentu Tianyin after returning home. How to deal with it, just deal with it."
"Huh?" Xia Lei was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
At this time, Long Bing smashed a piece of bread crumbs in Xia Lei's face, "You, you, what kind of woman did you marry? So bold, so ambitious. If you wade into this muddy water, you are giving you If you dig a hole for yourself, you may fall into it in the future."
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "Am I just wiping her butt? I can't help it. Who made me her husband?"
Long Bing sighed, "Sometimes I actually envy Shentu Tianyin. She was born with a golden key in her mouth. As soon as she graduated from college, her first job was as the chairman of Wanxiang Group. Get married now. I married a good man like you. As a woman, if you do what you do, you should have no regrets in this life."
"Well, she... is actually quite hard sometimes."
"Okay, okay, stop protecting your wife." Long Bing glared at Xia Lei, "I am also a woman, why can't I see you caring about me and taking care of my feelings?"
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment. In this case, he didn't know how to proceed.
"I was joking with you just now. If you tell me such a thing, I will forget it after I heard it. I will treat you as if you didn't say anything."
Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I have to remind you that although Shentu Tianyin is your wife, you can't protect her without principles. If you protect her without principles, her ambition will expand. This time you can help her wipe it out. Butt, what about next time? What about next time? One day, you won’t be able to clean your own butt.”
Xia Lei nodded.
What will the future look like? He couldn't imagine it, but now, he had to clean Shentu Tianyin's butt.
