In the afternoon in Brisbane, in a commercial district under the warm winter sun, a middle-aged obese driver parked his taxi on the side of the road, skillfully picked up the cigarette case and lighter, and pushed the door open.
He didn't go far, he stood next to the car, lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes slightly, and exhaled a stream of smoke with a relaxed expression.
This is a professional habit. Every time he successfully completes a business and sends away the guests, he will grab a cigarette near the destination.
It’s a little bit of a break from work and life.
At this time, he doesn't need to think about trivial issues such as weight loss, credit cards, divorced child support, etc. It is completely his own time, and he can think about other more interesting things, such as the team record, stock funds, and lace that he cares about.
News, as well as the identity and whereabouts of the passengers who just boarded the ship, etc.
Don't underestimate this hobby, especially the latter one. After renting it out for so many years, he thinks that his eyes are very accurate in seeing people. Coupled with his innate sense of humor, his professional talent, and his eloquence, he occasionally always
You will get some unexpected surprises, such as a once-beautiful marriage, or you can’t remember how many romances...
Facts have proved that love sometimes has nothing to do with body and appearance!
Pressing the heavy belt around his waist, the middle-aged driver thought in a happy mood. Of course, all this has nothing to do with the previous passenger, and he didn't think about the Asian passenger just now, although the latter didn't pay the fare.
The change allowed him to make a small profit, but deep down he still despised the other party.
It's not a matter of moral character. Although it's weird to rush to do things as soon as you land, men all know it. Don't tell anyone else. What he doesn't agree with is that the other party still needs to spend money to do the thing - his level is low, it's simply
That face is blinded in vain!
"Are we still working? Go to Queen's Walk."
"Let's go, let's go... eh?" Looking at the familiar Asian face in front of him, he lowered his head subconsciously. Yes, it was still the suitcase that he didn't have time to tear off the shipping label. The middle-aged fat driver couldn't help but pause with his fingers holding the cigarette, and then
He looked up at the massage parlor not far away, opened his eyes wide, and blurted out, "So fast?!"
"Huh? What?"
"Oh, ahem, it's nothing, please get in the car!"
…
The destination, Queen's Pedestrian Street, was not very far away. After about ten minutes' drive, Tang Chao got off the bus at a street intersection with his suitcase in hand. He turned sideways and watched the taxi gradually move away, tilting his head with a slightly confused expression.
Although there was no communication in the car just now, and he was a little absent-minded because he was hiding something on his mind, Tang Chao could naturally notice the strange glances of the middle-aged driver in the rearview mirror of the car from time to time, with complex meanings and sympathy.
, compassion, and a hint of pride... What's wrong?
If he hadn't been convinced that the other party was just an ordinary person and hadn't noticed anything wrong, Tang Chaozhen would have thought that this mission might be a trap and he would have been exposed as soon as he arrived.
Shaking his head, he looked away inexplicably. While reading the street signs, Tang Chao walked into the neighborhood with his suitcase. A few minutes later, he arrived at a car rental company and walked to the front desk.
"Hello, I am a tourist here and I have booked your car online."
"Okay, sir, please..."
After completing the procedures, a quarter of an hour later, Tang Chao drove a black Toyota and left Queen Street. It kept on driving until it drove out of the entire business district.
This process did not take long. Although Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and is known as the third largest city in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne, this does not change its nature of vast land and sparsely populated areas. In fact, its prosperity is also
Just like that, the high-rise buildings are only limited to the coastline area. When you leave here, the view will suddenly become clearer.
Renting a car abroad sometimes depends on your luck. Tang Dynasty's luck was not very good. Not long after driving out of the bustling business district, the fuel tank gauge reminded him of an emergency, but he didn't care. After finding a place to fill up the tank, the car stopped.
The engine was turned off and stopped on an empty roadside not far from the gas station.
He glanced around, loosened his seat belt, raised his hand sideways to carry the suitcase placed in the back seat to the passenger seat, opened it, and found another slightly smaller square black box inside.
Naturally, this could not have been brought from China, and the Tang Dynasty did not have the bad taste of playing with matryoshka dolls. This was taken from the locker of the massage parlor, which is why he couldn't wait to do things as soon as he landed.
s reason.
Although he had checked it before, Tang Chao still had the patience to check it carefully again. After confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand and pressed the locks on the left and right sides of the box. There was a click, and he opened and lifted it.
"Tsk!"
Looking down, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
On the left hand side of the box are stacks of Australian dollar bills, some old and new, divided into two types: fifty denominations and one hundred denominations. A rough estimate is that there are about fifty or sixty thousand, occupying most of the space in the box, and they are colorful.
, it’s quite visually impactful at first glance.
In the remaining space on the right, there are two transparent sealed evidence bags. One contains items that look like documents, and the other contains an old-fashioned non-smart phone and a USB flash drive.
Needless to say, the mobile phone USB flash drive, Tang Chao opened the front bag and flipped through it. Sure enough, there was a complete set of identity documents, including passport, driver's license, etc., and even a few business cards. He was a salesman engaged in financial and insurance sales.
Of course, the Asian-looking Australian man on the certificate does not match the image of the Tang Dynasty's Song Qingming, but this does not mean that this set of certificates cannot be used. In fact, on the contrary, even if there is no deliberate disguise,
These documents can also be used, and as long as it is not too unlucky or excessive, for example, buying a plane ticket to go out of the country is naturally not possible, but it is not a big problem, such as booking a hotel and handling general inspections.
He was quite prepared... He raised his eyebrows, then raised his hand to go around the edge of the box and groped carefully.
Yes, the box has a mezzanine, I realized it as soon as I opened it.
There's nothing magical about this, it just takes a little bit of discernment, because the size of the box obviously doesn't match the space inside when opened. Otherwise, the banknotes that can be stacked to occupy most of the space in the box won't be just tens of thousands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, near the inside of the box, I touched a raised knob. Press it, and the bottom of the box pops up, revealing the mezzanine below, where the displays are displayed.
They are pieces of firearm accessories with a cool luster.
No hands-on assembly required, just a quick glance, and a complete high-precision long-range sniper rifle will come to mind.
That's enough money to spend... With the level of professionalism of the Tang Dynasty, we can certainly see how valuable this killing instrument produced in Finland is. Ha, that's a bit interesting...
It's a very simple logical reasoning. Being able to send such a good gun naturally means that the difficulty of the task cannot be made easier. Otherwise, wouldn't it be killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?
It has to be said that compared to the torture before departure and the indifference when departure, Tang Chao was now feeling a little less expectant. He opened the evidence bag and took out his mobile phone. After checking it as usual, he long pressed to turn it on.
Fortunately, it turned on successfully. Of course, there is not much battery left, which is normal.
Tang Chao came out a little late this time. He didn't know how long this phone had been in the locker of the massage parlor. Fortunately, it was an old-fashioned phone and not a smart phone. Otherwise, he would have to drive to a mobile phone store to buy a charger.
…
Open the address book, call up the first and only number in it, and call it.
After two rings, the call was quickly answered.
The Tang Dynasty remained silent, but after a slight intake of breath, a tentative voice came from the other side, "Palace Jade Liquid Wine?"
"..."
"Then...the king of heaven overpowers the tigers of earth?"
"..."
Tang Chao rolled his eyes silently. It's not that he doesn't know the answer to the secret code. He has to maintain his personality... Well, the crux of the problem is not here, but that there is no joint secret code at all. At least Zong Qing didn't mention it when he informed him before.
This batch.
Of course, this could not be Zong Qing's mistake and forgetfulness, it could only be the impromptu idea of the person on the other end of the microphone.
Thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand. The reason why the latter dared to put the box in a public place such as a massage parlor locker must have done relevant investigations, and there is a high probability that there will be no problems. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, then
I'm afraid that if the box falls into the hands of someone else, and I follow the phone to check it, these two incision codes that everyone in the country knows are at least a guarantee.
As for why we didn’t simply arrange for someone to stay at a designated location in the massage parlor to watch the box, that’s a better explanation. Whether it’s Tang Chao’s side or the Jiuzhou Rising Overseas Branch on the other end of the phone, although the two parties had secretly communicated in Los Angeles before,
We cooperated, but we didn't actually interact with each other.
In this way, in view of someone's not-so-gentle temper and behavior style that he has shown in the past, it is naturally impossible for people from the overseas branch of Kyushu Rise to act arbitrarily and cause irreparable misunderstandings.
That's roughly it.
Although he could understand the other party's motivation, Tang Chao was not bored enough to play riddles, so he directly interrupted: "How long is left?"
This is how killers should do things.
As long as you know the time, place, and target person, the rest is not important. The reason why I only ask about the time now is naturally because of the USB flash drive in the bag. I believe the information must be there, so there is no need to ask again.
Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then said, "Stop it, Qiu Qiu, give me the phone...cough!" After a light cough, a bold yet enthusiastic voice came out, "Hello, Mr. Ghost, I am
Chu Tangge, on behalf of Jiuzhou Rise Overseas Branch, I would like to welcome you and thank you for your help this time!"
"You're welcome, so, how long does it take?"
Chu Dange was obviously a happy person, and he replied directly: "There was a small situation, and there was originally a week. Now, there are only four days left, including today."
Tang Chao couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Although he didn't know the specific status of the operation so far, the time was really too late.
Killing is not a treat, it is not a job where you show up at a predetermined time and the target will come as promised. On the contrary, it is a job that requires patience, carefulness, and sometimes a bit of luck, where risks and opportunities coexist.
To put it more bluntly, this job requires a lot of foreplay!
Chu Tangge on the other side of the phone obviously understood this, so he said apologetically: "The information is wrong. This is a problem on our side and has nothing to do with Mr. Ghost. I'm extremely sorry for the wasted trip."
Thinking of something, "By the way, there are some Australian dollars in the box... Oh, don't get me wrong, that's not a commission. Of course, with your current industry status, you can't afford that price..."
He laughed at himself and then continued, "This is my personal intention. I originally planned to use it to entertain Mr. Ghost to travel to Australia after the operation. After all, although the people here are ordinary, the scenery is really good and it is worth visiting."
Now, I can just use it in advance..."
"Tomorrow evening."
"Okay, then...what?"
"Before tomorrow evening, whether I take action or not, I will give you news."
