There were three corpses lying in the corridor, and there was a dead silence.
It was Brigitte who recognized Zhou Qingfeng. She recognized him the moment she saw Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, and reminded Erwin in a low voice. But Erwin pushed her towards Zhou Qingfeng to create an obstacle, and
She was killed in the ensuing firefight.
Erwin was shot twice. The .45-caliber pistol bullets tore apart his chest, causing him to die within half a minute. The last person to die was the stunned waiter, and Zhou Qingfeng had to kill him.
Silence.
After doing all this, Zhou Qingfeng could only sigh and said "Sorry" helplessly to Brigitte's body. He searched for Erwin's body and confirmed the room where the other party used to direct operations.
There were four or five Erwin's assistants in the room. These people had no ability to resist Zhou Qingfeng who suddenly broke in. They were all killed in almost a single encounter. What made Zhou Qingfeng dumbfounded was that he finally managed to do it.
The oil painting he had come to sell appeared in front of him in perfect condition.
"This is really a big joke." What Zhou Qingfeng has to do now is how to deal with the current situation, but it is not easy to cover it up. According to some seized documents, there is also a two-ton cash banknote on the ship.
By the time he takes care of it, this should be the property he wants to protect.
"Hell, how do I transport two tons of banknotes?" Zhou Qingfeng tried transporting the banknotes to the wasteland, but the banknotes were obviously not low-value items in the real world and could not be carried at all.
Zhou Qingfeng also went to the vault on the ship and found that 200 million US dollars in cash had been separately transported as funds for CIA operations, packed in more than a dozen large safes, and guarded by four special forces members.
Four special forces members were easily killed by Zhou Qingfeng. So far, except for Xu Yun and Feng Wan, everyone on the cruise ship who knew that he was related to the oil painting auction had been killed by him, but he just couldn't take away the money. No luck.
If you take away this money, the task assigned by 'god' will not be completed.
As time passed, another trouble arose - the destroyer USS Lassen of the U.S. Seventh Fleet appeared near the Ocean Princess and asked the cruise ship to stop for inspection. This warship was originally going to support Irwin
, but now the people it wants to support have been wiped out.
This 'Arleigh Burke'-class Aegis destroyer was originally undergoing maintenance at Changi Naval Port in Singapore. After receiving the order, it rushed over to provide assistance for Erwin's operation. It brought an entire company of Marines with it, specifically for
to stabilize the situation on the cruise ship.
When more than a hundred people boarded the cruise ship, Zhou Qingfeng realized that he had underestimated Lao Mei's ability to move. He hurriedly entered the surveillance room on the cruise ship and destroyed all the surveillance videos and personnel before he was in a panic.
He took off his combat uniform and threw it into the sea, erasing all traceable traces along the way, and hid in the cabin to play the role of his own tourist.
From the CIA's perspective, with the help of a company of Marines, the situation on the cruise ship was absolutely fine. But when more than a hundred American soldiers armed to the teeth actually boarded the ship, what they saw was a massacre of flesh and blood.
All the soldiers thought they were just here to perform an ordinary assistance mission, but now all the people who needed their assistance were dead.
"Oh my God!" The leading officer was petrified by the corpses scattered throughout the ship, especially the dozens of corpses at the auction, each one more miserable than the last. "Report to the commander, we encountered
Trouble!"
The news passed quickly on the radio waves, and the first person to learn about it was the Seventh Fleet Headquarters in Yokosuka, Japan. The current Commander Thomas had just fallen asleep, and when he heard the news, he thought the adjutant was joking to himself, "What did you say?
..., all the CIA personnel in charge of the operation are dead?"
How can this be?!
The second person to know about this was Secretary Carter of the U.S. Department of Defense. The minister, who was busy with everything, had just finished a reception. After hearing the news, he confirmed it four or five times before hurriedly running to report to the President——
We in America have suffered a major setback.
Yes, this setback is really big! Not to mention the failure of the operation, all the personnel involved in the operation were compensated and no one was left behind.
And the last person who knew about this was actually the CIA themselves. They, who had always been well-informed, were also shocked. Because the people who were supposed to give them the news at the first time were all dead.
CIA Director Brennan was furious on the spot and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter immediately. This matter related to the dignity of the United States, and the murderer who dared to confront the CIA must be found.
Regarding this matter, the media with a keen sense of smell also got the news from the tourists and staff of the cruise ship as soon as possible. When the Ocean Princess docked off the coast of Singapore late at night, it happened to be noon in broad daylight and the United States was about to take a break for dinner.
Americans were exposed to a wave of news.
"A U.S. cruise ship suffered a terrorist attack and hundreds of people are expected to die."
"The Ocean Princess was hijacked by pirates, and the gangsters demanded a sky-high ransom."
"The rescue operation may have failed and a large number of Korean tourists are believed to have been beheaded by the gangsters."
Shock, disaster, we are all Americans... Wave after wave of news on the Internet makes it difficult to tell whether it is true or false. Most of the people who publish the news are non-professionals on the ship. All kinds of gossip are flying all over the world. Thousands of people on the cruise ship
Everyone is frightened and anxious, and everyone says anything.
Americans were dumbfounded when they saw the news. Some people exclaimed that this was the second '911' terrorist attack. But after getting the list of tourists on the ship, they first discovered that there were mostly Asian tourists on the cruise ship, and Americans instead
It's a minority.
Even the Chinese government paid special attention to this matter and stated that it would take necessary measures to deal with this terrorist attack. Because there were a large number of Chinese tourists on the cruise ship, the government waved its hand, Coast Guard ships, attack!
There is nothing else in China these days. The coast guard ships have enough control. More than a dozen coast guard ships rushed over overnight. This is just like the Malaysian Airlines disaster. It is really difficult for a large number of Chinese coast guard ships to have one.
If you have the opportunity, go for a swim in other countries’ waters. Basically, once you go for a swim, there will be a second time. If you go for a swim, you will get a lot of things done.
Under such circumstances, a large number of U.S. troops stationed at Changi Base in Singapore began to arrive by helicopter. They brought in a large number of so-called rescue workers, but first began to investigate the tragedy that occurred on the cruise ship.
And this determination to get to the bottom of it is extremely detrimental to Zhou Qingfeng. Now he is trapped on the ship and cannot go anywhere. If clues are left behind due to some omissions on his part, it will be great fun.
Chaos, there needs to be a bigger chaos, and the six or seven thousand people on the ship cannot be allowed to be investigated step by step by the Americans so calmly. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the balcony of his suite, staring at the 'Lassen' looming in the night
Destroyer, a ferocious thought came into his mind.
