Southwest of Durban, at the intersection of Russell Street and West Street.
Qin Fei looked out of the SUV and saw an Italian restaurant with "ladolcevita" on the signboard about 50 meters away on the right front.
This name reminds Mist of an Italian movie from the 1960s with the same name, which translates to "Sweet Life".
About thirty meters behind where Qin Fei parked his car was the entrance to a cemetery. This cemetery was called "West Street Cemetery" and covered an area of dozens of acres. It was dark in that direction, with no lights, and very few pedestrians.
So it is very suitable for the car to be hidden here.
"Michelle, have you found this guy's information?"
Qin Fei put down the small monocular, pressed the call button hidden under the button of his cotton plaid shirt, and asked about Major Michel.
An hour ago, after the plane landed, everyone followed Michelle to the safe house at Boscombe Street, Durban.
After deliberation, both Michelle and Qin Fei agreed not to alert the enemy first and find out what the guy who stole the fake hard drive was doing.
So, Michelle, Joyce, George, and Yuri stayed in the safe house to set up a communication command platform, while Qin Fei, Mist, Hugo, and Connor came to the safe house based on the whereabouts of the other party that Yuri knew.
Sweet Time Italian Restaurant down Russell Street.
According to the information Yuri obtained from the police surveillance system, the facial features of the person who took the fake hard drive from the vault were photographed and compared in the MI17 database. No information has been obtained yet.
When you come to a place like this, if nothing else happens, you should make a delivery.
"His information has been found and I was about to send it to you." Michelle said, "This guy's background is not clean."
After saying that, the screen of the small military notebook installed in the car lit up, and prompt symbols appeared.
Qin Fei hit the Enter key, and the man's information immediately appeared on the screen.
The middle-aged man who entered the vault and used Red's identity account and password to take away the fake hard drive in the safe was named Ahmed Abbas, the former leader of the Isaac Martyrs Brigade. He had been active in the Middle East three years ago.
, created several IED bombings, was later targeted by Mossad, fled, and has since disappeared from everyone's sight.
According to relevant rumors, it is said that this person ran to Africa, organized a small paramilitary team, and engaged in arms trading activities.
After reading the information, the people in the car looked at each other.
For a long time, Connor frowned and asked: "What the hell, how does this guy know the password and account number?"
After saying that, he turned his attention to his colleague Hugo.
Hugo's face turned ugly.
Qin Fei understood that the reason why they were like this was because if Red's account number and password were obtained by someone like Abbas, there were only two possibilities - the first possibility was that Red leaked the password and account number to Carmen, and Carmen was
The kidnapping was related to Abbas, who got the password and account number from Carmen.
The second possibility is that there is a connection between Abbas and Red. Maybe there is some unexplainable relationship. Red has been corrupted and rebelled long ago. It is not just in his private life as Michelle and the others thought.
It's so easy to commit a violation.
No matter what the situation is, it is considered a scandal at least for a department like MI17. According to normal rules, "sweeper" agents should have been dispatched to clean up the situation long ago.
However, of the two possibilities, Qin Fei thinks the former one is more likely.
Because if Red and Abbas colluded, how could Abbas not know that the hard drive was fake?
"Major, I have received your information, we will continue to keep an eye on it here." Qin Fei finished replying to Michelle, picked up the monocular and looked at it again, and said to Mist: "Just now Abbas
Go in, I'll see Hugo, Connor, you two stay here to monitor the front door, while Lao Mi and I go to the back door to take a look."
"Okay." Hugo nodded in agreement, this is the best way.
Qin Fei got out of the car, stood on the roadside, and looked around.
Mist lit a cigarette and said to Qin Fei: "It seems to be very quiet tonight..."
Only then did Qin Fei notice that there were very few people on the entire street, and only the dim street lamps reflected the lampposts on the street lonelyly.
"It is said that there may be riots in the past two days. Maybe the police have warned the people to go out less."
"These black people just can't stay calm." A very disdainful sneer appeared on Mist's lips. Although he was not a racist, he didn't seem to have a good impression of the big black man.
"Stop minding other people's business. Let's go and guard the back door. Don't disturb Abbas. Just keep an eye on him and don't do anything."
With that said, the two of them turned into Russell Street. A few pedestrians could be seen here, but in front of the "Sweet Time" restaurant, the lights were brightly lit, several cars were parked, and there were a few burly white men.
Walking around the door, the arms exposed outside the short sleeves are covered with dense tattoos.
"These guys are not ordinary people." Qin Fei walked across the street towards the alley behind the restaurant. His sharp eyes had already seen clearly that the five or six strong men in front of the door had bulging waists.
One look and you can tell someone else is inside.
"These guys don't seem to be worried about riots." Mist said solemnly.
Both of them knew that this "Sweet Time" restaurant was no ordinary restaurant, so they stopped talking and hurriedly walked past the sidewalk opposite the restaurant, and then turned into the side alley.
This side alley actually leads to a main street, called Smith Street, but compared with the main entrance of the restaurant, the street lights here appear much dim.
Qin Fei found the entrance to the alley next to a shop. Walking inside, he found a residential area. The two of them stopped in the shadow of the alley entrance.
This is directly opposite the back door of the "Sweet Time" restaurant, with only a distance of more than ten meters, which is very suitable for observation.
"We are in place." Qin Fei informed Hugo on the channel, "Has the situation changed on your side?"
"Very quiet," Hugo replied.
"Pay attention to the men at the door. They have weapons in their hands."
"Understood."
Surveillance is actually a very boring thing, especially now that the streets of Durban are filled with the smell of gunpowder. There is a restlessness hidden in the hot weather and salty sea breeze, and it seems that a little spark can ignite the entire city.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the distance.
Qin Fei and Mist were startled and looked around, but did not see the explosion point.
"What's going on? I heard an explosion at the back door." Qin Fei immediately reported the situation back.
"There was an explosion in the crowd gathering at Francis Square. Many people were rallying there to protest against the government allowing illegal immigrants to enter the country. Suddenly there was an explosion and a car was set on fire..."
In the safe house, Yuri stared at the police surveillance screen on the screen and said worriedly: "It's three blocks away from your location. It seems like a riot is really going to start tonight."
Qin Fei turned up his wrist and looked at the time.
It's already half past eight in the evening.
"Hugo, did you find any suspicious people coming to deal with Abbas at the front door?"
Qin Fei knew that the front door was always being monitored by cameras. Everyone who entered the "Sweet Time" restaurant would have their appearance photographed, and then compared in the MI17 database.
Generally speaking, the people who can trade with Abbas are not good men and women, and there is a high chance that they will appear in the database.
"No harvest yet..."
Hugo's voice was a little disappointed.
Qin Fei was even more anxious. If the city started to riot, it would definitely not be a smart choice for him and Mist to stand here and monitor the back door of the restaurant.
Everyone has said that tonight is a planned attack and riot by locals against foreigners. Of course, I and Lao Mi also belong to the category of "foreigners", although they are not immigrants from other small African countries who have taken away locals' jobs.
But when the big gangsters start making trouble, how can they care so much? By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for both myself and Mist to escape.
Qin Fei asked Mist: "How many bullets did you bring?"
"Six magazines." Mist said, "For surveillance missions, six magazines are enough."
"Surrounded by a mob, ten more magazines won't be enough." Before Qin Fei finished speaking, another explosion came from the direction of Francis Square. (To be continued)
