On the last day of April, the cruise ship Temple Princess, which sailed from Yokohama Port in Japan, finally docked at Phoenix Port in Sanya at around 4 p.m.
This international luxury cruise ship traveled for more than a week, passing through Naha in Japan, Kaohsiung in Taiwan, Manila in the Philippines, Da Nang in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian tourist cities. The final destination was Sanya, Hainan in China.
Xiong Jiandong drove a very inconspicuous car and parked it about a few dozen meters away from the tourist exit of the pier.
He took a flight from Huaishang to Guangzhou the night before yesterday, and after transferring today, he arrived in Sanya a few hours ago.
Xiong Jiandong's eyes were always staring at the exit, aiming at a lean and short man.
Obviously, this thin man with a monkey face is Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin, who tracked Tan Qibiao from the front brigade in Huracide in the Middle East to Daimaru in Tokyo, Japan.
For Xiong Jiandong, he was determined that no matter what, he would not miss the opportunity this time and let Tan Qibiao slip away from his nose again.
It has been two months since Lin Sirer's death. The skull USB drive she fought for her life to leave behind has yet to be traced. Xiong Jiandong still cannot give up.
Although he didn't know what important secrets Lin Sirer had saved in the skull USB drive, his intuition told Xiong Jiandong that the reason why Lin Sirer was cruelly imprisoned by Lu Zhichao was in Chinatown, San Francisco, USA.
The basement of Beverly No. 5 is under strict guard, which is obviously directly related to the secret hidden in the skull USB drive.
However, Xiong Jiandong also has a doubt that is difficult to shake off, and that is whether Tan Qibiao is really the person who stole the skull USB drive.
Otherwise, in the front brigade of Hurachid in the Middle East, Miao Xin ignored her own dignity that day and took the initiative to please and flatter Tan Qibiao. Why, after all her efforts, could she not get any clues about the skull USB drive from him?
Just yesterday, when the matter of becoming the Lingshen Sect was settled and Hui Changyuan was locked into an iron cage by Master Ciyi, Xiong Jiandong had already begun to consider setting off for Sanya immediately.
In the afternoon, he first went to Wang Fuyu's house and left a sum of money for Monk Wang. Then he thought about it and immediately went to say goodbye to Master Ciyi and Miaoxin. By the way, he asked again in detail about the dealings with Tan Qibiao at that time and what happened.
There is no other reference value.
However, when Xiong Jiandong found the residence of Master Ciyi and Miaoxin and walked to the door, he heard that their master and apprentice were talking about matters related to him.
The attitudes and topics between the master and the disciple made Xiong Jiandong feel embarrassed and did not enter the room rashly.
Because Xiong Jiandong felt that it was difficult for him to explain to Master Ciyi how he and Miaoxin pretended to be husband and wife. They had been getting along day and night for the past half month, slept in the same bed, and had sex several times in order to hide their eyes from others.
Deliberately intimate and ambiguous behavior.
If these matters were truthfully told to Master Ciyi, it would undoubtedly make Miaoxin not only embarrassed in front of the master, but also bring up the past events again, which would in vain continue to offend Miaoxin's reputation.
So, he immediately restrained himself and decided to say goodbye to Master Ciyi and Miaoxin without saying goodbye.
This morning, after he flew to Sanya, he first disguised himself as a foreign tourist from a Southeast Asian island country. After making sure that Tan Qibiao would not easily recognize him, he rented a car and came to Phoenix
Island International Cruise Terminal.
After waiting in the car for more than half an hour, Tan Qibiao's figure took a taxi and appeared in time.
Xiong Jiandong parked his car a few dozen meters away from Tan Qibiao, convinced that even if Tan Qibiao walked up to the car, he would definitely regard him as a stranger.
Because Xiong Jiandong prepared his disguise very carefully.
He glued a thin beard on his face and painted all his skin bronze, making him look exactly like the indigenous people of a Southeast Asian island country who were often exposed to the scorching sun.
Following the long-lasting whistle of the Temple Princess cruise ship, tourists appeared on the pier one after another. Tan Qibiao quickly met Fan Lizhi.
When the two of them got into a taxi, Xiong Jiandong followed quietly.
To Xiong Jiandong's surprise, the taxi Tan Qibiao took did not drive towards the city of Sanya. Instead, after driving for more than ten minutes, it turned into a resort hotel on Phoenix Island.
This kind of resort hotel can be seen everywhere in Sanya. The guest rooms are usually scattered in many bungalows instead of a single high-rise building.
Xiong Jiandong did not get out of the car.
He concluded that it would only take a while for Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi to register and then come out.
Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, a waiter pulled a luggage trolley and led the two of them to a guest room.
The signboard of the guest room here says Tinghaiju.
This time, Xiong Jiandong got off the car and followed from behind, but he did not go directly into the guest room, but waited for the waiter outside.
When the waiter came out, Xiong Jiandong asked him if there were any rooms available in Tinghaiju?
The waiter replied that you need to ask at the front desk to find out.
Xiong Jiandong asked again what room number the two guests just stayed in. He also wanted to live in Tinghaiju, but he didn't want to be too close to other guests in order to be extra secluded.
The waiter gave Xiong Jiandong a strange look and replied casually, the man lives in No. 3 and the woman lives in No. 7.
He also added that although tomorrow is the May Day holiday and there is a peak tourist season, every room in Tinghaiju is quiet and comfortable.
After thanking the waiter, Xiong Jiandong immediately went to the front desk and checked in to Room 2 in Tinghaiju, which was next to Tan Qibiao.
At this time, it was almost six o'clock.
Although the rooms in this resort hotel are scattered in different locations, the restaurants are concentrated in the lobby next to the front desk.
Xiong Jiandong came to the restaurant early, ordered two bottles of beer, and slowly waited for Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi to appear.
In his mind, he was thinking about the various fragments of information about Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi over the past few days, gradually connecting them together.
The first thing Xiong Jiandong thought of was the possible purpose of Tan Qibiao coming to Sanya on orders from Lu Zhichao.
From the conversation between Colini and Fan Lizhi that day at the Daimaru Hotel in Tokyo, it was overheard that Tan Qibiao came to cooperate with Fan Lizhi to establish a relationship with someone. And this person who was contacted by Tan Qibiao had obviously been in contact with him before.
, Fan Lizhi didn’t know him at first.
This point can also be confirmed by later using the button video recorder left by American Captain Kent in Lu Zhichao's room to record the quarrel between Lu Zhichao and Fan Lizhi.
Regarding uncovering the secret information between Fan Lizhi and her contacts, Xiong Jiandong felt that as a national security officer, even if he was a temporary agent, he should have the unshirkable responsibility.
However, how to deal with Tan Qibiao and find the whereabouts of the skull USB flash drive may be more important to Xiong Jiandong personally.
