"What's this?!"
Jacob could not help frowning when he saw the "we" on the note referred to by Yeqi - earlier than the note was sent, he and Yeqi spent nearly two hours discussing Yeqi's guess and the possible plan based on it.
These two hours of speculation, of course, will not be fruitless. In addition to more detailed on-site information being stayed by Jacob and Jacob's own speculation based on the on-site situation, he and Yeqi made some assumptions again and proved them.
Firstly, it is confirmed that the two groups of people belong to the subordinates of the real risk taker and are still competitive; Secondly, the number of these two groups should not be large, at most three to five, and the most likely is to speculate that three people are based on the two bodies left by the bombed Hotel and one person who started in advance.
Of course, the more important evidence to prove this is that Jacob found the whereabouts of the guy who later blew up the hotel in his subsequent search. It was confirmed from the hotel owner who was not killed that only three people came in and out of his hotel, although the other party contracted five rooms - and obviously, the real desperate man, As a leader, for the sake of fairness, the number of people on both sides should be the same, and there can be no more or less situation!
Therefore, according to the "we" on the note pointed out by Yeqi, it is obvious that the person who took the bait is not the one they expected to start in advance.
"Is this a surprise?"
Jacob looked at the note and couldn't help asking Ye Qi with a bitter smile.
"Of course!"
Ye Qi had no choice but to let go. After taking back his sight of the note, he looked at Jacob: "the guy who started in advance is absolutely cautious. He is in the same line as the 'boss' behind him. However, the other group of competitors obviously can't get on the table. He is always so impatient!"
"The guy who blew up the hotel has run out of the search circle, hasn't he?"
Yeqi's words to Jacob seemed to be a question, but his tone was quite positive - in the face of such a small number of three or five people, or even the way of acting alone, coupled with the dense population and traffic in all directions in langdingbao, especially when the former obviously prepared a way for himself, It's not impossible to catch these people by relying on local demon hunters and military police, but it's not easy.
Moreover, this is based on having the portrait; Otherwise, it's not like looking for a needle in a haystack at all - although Yeqi was optimistic about the pursuit at the beginning, when Jacob came back slightly annoyed, he already knew the result of the matter.
"At first, I thought this guy could not escape, but I didn't expect that when we caught up with him at the hotel where he stayed, he would be gone!" Jacob couldn't help turning his mouth when he said this: "People in the supreme government, except moleti, are only qualified to direct traffic and other things. They not only organize cysts and move slowly, but also always think they are right!"
"Do you know what we saw when we went to the bombed hotel?" Jacob seemed to find an outlet and complained to Yeqi: "the temporarily appointed search officer blocked the surrounding three blocks and vowed that the murderer was in these three blocks! At that time, I really wanted to slap him off!"
"The search officer just overestimated his reaction speed and underestimated the action ability of the murderer!" hearing Jacob's complaint, Yeqi shrugged and smiled, "and according to ordinary people's practice, he is not wrong!"
"If he hadn't pulled out more than 30% of the staff at that time to do such a thing, which made a mistake in the blockade of the main traffic roads of langdingbao, I would agree that he was not wrong!"
Jacob, who was angry and gnashing his teeth, obviously didn't want to be as calm as he said; after taking a few deep breaths, Jacob turned his eyes back, looked at Yeqi, pointed to the note on the table and asked, "are you going?"
"Of course!"
After nodding without hesitation, ye Qi stood up and glanced at the note on the table again: "after all, if you find this group of people, you will naturally get the news of the only one left in the other group! Remember, help me take good care of the two young people. I don't want to throw out the smoke bomb, which will eventually become a fact!"
"Leave it to me! How do you need to cooperate?"
Jacob nodded confidently, and then asked.
"How about driving? You won't let me walk from here to the wharf in port sass? You know, it's not long before midnight!" Yeqi asked with a smile.
"Driving is usually my strength!"
Jacob was joking.
……
The distance from Northland family manor to port sassas is not very far. If you drive, even if the weather is bad, it will take two to three hours. Of course, this does not include the nature of leisurely play. After all, the scenery from Edinburgh to port sassas is still very good, which is enough for people with leisure and elegance to forget to return, Don't say two or three hours, let them go on a day, I'm afraid there's no problem.
However, neither Yeqi nor Jacob has such a leisurely and elegant existence. As demon hunters, they know what is the priority; Moreover, after learning the lessons of previous times, Jacob only temporarily informed the people of the supreme government and the Holy See, and asked people to inform him two hours after he and Yeqi set out - by this time, Yeqi and Jacob had set foot on the territory of port sass, and it was less than a quarter of an hour before midnight.
"I think that bishop Vallejo has been furious at this time!"
About 300 yards from the dock, Yeqi motioned Jacob to stop. After jumping out of the car, Yeqi said to Jacob through the window.
"That's better than letting these guys hold back! At least, I didn't violate the final armistice!"
Jacob was furious at the mention of the supreme government and the holy see that had cooperated in recent days; After taking a few deep breaths, he pressed down his anger. Then he waved his hand to Ye Qi and said, "everything is going well!"
"Leave it to me!"
Ye Qi waved to Jacob and strode toward the dock. Although the other party did not specify a specific location, according to the note, "please come to the dock in port sass at midnight tonight. When you get there, we will give you further tips!" The other party must be in a place where he can clearly see him as soon as he enters the wharf.
Standing high and looking far, ye Qi remembers the wisdom of his hometown very clearly; Therefore, before entering the wharf area of port sass, he glanced at several tall buildings around the wharf area without trace - the agreed place was at the wharf, which was in the wharf area, but in order to determine whether he came alone, the other party would definitely confirm in advance, rather than waiting in the wharf area; After all, no matter how unbearable the other party is, it will not be arrogant enough to ignore Laurent's largest three-party forces.
It should be there!
Finally, Yeqi's eyes focused on a building still under construction - a shipyard that began to be built after the last pirate attack, which was jointly invested and developed by the Northland family and the demon hunter headquarters; Moreover, in order to achieve an absolute leading position, the shipyard was jointly defined by both sides as striving for excellence at the beginning; Because of this, in such a long time, the shipyard has not been fully completed, only about 70% of the total has been completed, but from the tall appearance, no one will doubt the speed of such construction.
At the moment, because it is close to midnight and the shipyard has not been completely completed, except for a few personnel on duty, most of the workers have left the construction site; Therefore, it is a sparsely populated place. In addition, half of the shipyard itself is built in the sea water of port sass. For some people with evil intentions, it is really suitable to be a place where they can hide and escape.
However, the only pity is that this distance is beyond the range of Yeqi's [blind fight perception], so that he can't accurately sense the fluctuations there; Moreover, in order not to make the other party suspicious, ye Qi couldn't look directly at it. He just took back at a whirring glance, and then walked into the wharf area——
Compared with the busy day, the port of SASS at night is simply different from heaven and earth; After all, no matter how skilled a sailor or a famous captain is, he is not willing to choose a dark time to enter and leave the port. Even if there is a lighthouse, the danger is worrying.
The existence of sea monsters is not a legend for people who sail at sea all year round, especially at night, when such things happen frequently. Maybe someone will be lucky to escape, but it does not mean that all people can have such luck.
Without the unloading and loading of ships, the people who make a living on the wharf will not appear; However, several pubs not far from the wharf are bustling - it is the habit of most people on the wharf to have a drink after a busy day's work.
Of course, if you are a rational person, you won't put all the money you get in a day into alcohol; They will make plans for their future or family according to their own plans. In particular, the latter will really define leisure in the evening as "drinking a cup" - a glass of ale and two banknotes.
Among them, there are many people who even use it at night; At the very least, Yeqi saw several men washing wine glasses and plates behind the door of the bar - a strong and dark body. It was obvious at a glance that they were traditional people who lived on the dock.
Compared with those who have a drink or are still working, ye Qi standing alone at the wharf is undoubtedly conspicuous; Those who came out of the bar looked surprised when they saw Ye Qi. However, soon these people shook their heads and walked towards their home - in a place like the wharf, putting away their undue curiosity is the principle of long-term and safe survival.
Although after the last pirate attack, the Northrend family invested reasonable strength again in the port guard of port sass, in some places, darkness will always breed when you don't pay attention, especially when there is a trend of more interests - you know, you can't load and unload goods with a good body at the code head, Only with the leadership of a "foreman" can we get this "job". Naturally, after getting this job, the "foreman" will draw corresponding remuneration.
Naturally, such a "foreman" is not just one, so competition is inevitable. Benign and malignant will eventually develop into friction and contradictions on the wharf, and it is inevitable to use fists; As long as you don't get caught face to face by the Northrend family, there's no problem.
However, sometimes, once contradictions have accumulated to a considerable extent, they will turn into a struggle between life and death. Such things are very common on the wharf, and at this time, the "foreman" will not do it by himself; Going out to hire some people is the best choice, and Yeqi, who is wrapped in a cloak, is so much like those people.
Therefore, after seeing ye Qi, the people who just came out of the bar consciously withdrew their eyes and did what they wanted to do next, as if ye Qi didn't exist - Ye Qi naturally couldn't have any ideas. Ye Qi silently calculated the time and waited for the people who would appear.
23:58、23:59、00:00……
The originally agreed time has obviously passed, but the other party did not appear as agreed.
To give me a sense of oppression?
Ye Qi sneered at the idea that appeared in his heart - Ye Qi was naturally not interested in the other party's clumsy means. However, in order to attract the other party to show up, he had to cooperate with the other party; Then, in the next ten minutes, ye Qi twisted his ankle from the beginning to take two steps around the circle, showing a restless appearance.
"Sir! Sir!"
Before he got close, a cry attracted Yeqi's attention - the dress and appearance that were no different from those of other people on the wharf; Obviously, it can't be the person he's waiting for; A messenger at best.
"A gentleman asked me to send you a message..."
The messenger who lives on the dock clearly knows some rules on the dock; Therefore, instead of getting close to Yeqi, he began to say, "he said he would wait for you on the beach on the left side of the wharf!"
With that, the messenger who was making a living on the wharf turned and ran away without any stop, and the speed was very fast - there was not a thing on the wharf that the messenger was killed by the angry waiting person because the message content was too against his will; In order to prevent such things from happening, everyone who sends a message has learned to be cautious and careful.
Of course, this also includes checking the client. If the other party looks like a ferocious existence, even if there is more money, these people will not take such a job; After all, no one wants to die for ten or twenty dollars.
Ignoring the messenger who ran away like his life, Yeqi walked straight to the beach on the left side of the wharf according to the message from the other party - in fact, the beach has deviated from the real scope of the wharf; Different from the beaches in other areas, they are always favored by people because of the sun and sea water. This beach was buried with countless mines because of the war in those years. Even after cleaning, no one knows whether there are residual mines on it even now.
Therefore, even if the sand on this beach is fine and soft, the sea water is clear, there is also sunshine, and it is not favored by people - losing life or lifelong disability is the main melody of the unfortunate people who step into this beach.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. finger!"
Ye Qi recognized the person who said welcome to himself at a glance, that is, the people in the two sketches; Although the other party has made some disguises on the basis of his original appearance at the moment, those crafty eyes are really too eye-catching. It's a good sign.
"If I can, I don't want to see your excellency! Where are xiaodoug and Kessel?"
Yeqi asked coldly in a tone consistent with his identity.
"It seems that there are some misunderstandings between us! However, Mr. finger, as long as time passes, the misunderstandings between us will naturally disappear!" quail mouse, with a false smile, turned his cunning eyes and pointed behind him: "we naturally have a good reception for the two young people; Mr. finger, if you meet people first, please follow me!"
"Of course, you should have heard of the reputation of this beach; so please follow me!"
Speaking of this, the quail mouse seemed helpless and said, "who let Mr. finger have a giant behind you? We have to limit your number advantage in this way, although you always did as instructed and only brought your excellency Jacob!"
Ye Qi's eyes narrowed with such threatening words. If the other party and two accomplices didn't show up, he really wanted to stab the person in front of him with a sword - in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Yan magic knife was temporarily handed over to Jacob before getting off the bus.
"Lead the way!"
Seeing that the other party had to go on talking, ye Qi, who didn't want to listen any more, directly interrupted the other party.
