Chapter 475 Before and After

After hearing the general content of the task, Bai Chen said without understanding:

"The company has a complete intelligence network in the First City. There must be more than just a team like ours that can be used. Why should we leave the matter of responding to 'Garibaldi' to us?"

In comparison, those in the intelligence system are more familiar with "Garibaldi" and understand the situation better.

"Because we are awesome!" Shang Jianyao responded immediately.

Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little ashamed, because he clearly knew that Shang Jianyao was just talking casually, but he could only think of such a reason for a while.

Jiang Baimian said:

"If we fail, we will only lose one of our teams and Garibaldi. If others fail, the entire intelligence network may be taken down."

"..." Although Long Yuehong didn't want to admit it, she still felt that the team leader's words made some sense.

But this truth is too cold and heartless, right?

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Baimian chuckled:

"Okay, just kidding. If 'Garibaldi' is caught, the company's intelligence network in the First City will definitely suffer heavy losses. If I were the minister, I would have ordered those who have met with 'Garibaldi' They evacuated the First City urgently, and others cut off contact with 'Garibaldi' in order to ensure that the worst outcome would not be too bad.

"The company asked us to rescue Garibaldi, probably based on two considerations:

"First, the situation in the First City is tense now. The company's intelligence personnel here should stay quiet and not move. The primary goal is to reduce the risk of exposure to avoid being affected. In the eyes of the 'Hand of Order' and the 'First City' intelligence system, Now that I have escaped from the city, I won't be watched by anyone, so I can move more easily.

"Two, our strength is indeed very strong..."

At the end of the sentence, Jiang Baimian also laughed.

Obviously, the second point was just a reason she pulled out casually to echo what Shang Jianyao had just said.

Of course, "Pangu Biology" will definitely consider this factor when assigning tasks, but the weight is not large. After all, responding to "Garibaldi" does not seem to be too difficult.

Bai Chen nodded, no longer doubting.

Jiang Baimian took advantage of the situation and translated the content at the end of the telegram. This was mainly an introduction to Lao K. It was quite simple.

"Old K, whose real name is Colenza, is an import and export businessman. He has connections with several elders and nobles, and has dealt with several major gangs. Among them, the 'Red Army' gang organization is involved in the import and export business. , and old K are incompatible with each other..." Jiang Baimian began to retell in a general tone.

"It doesn't sound easy." Long Yuehong said.

"Why did 'Garibaldi' become his enemy and was shot dead by his men?" Bai Chen raised a new question.

Jiang Baimian shook his head:

"The telegram didn't mention it."

"I think it's love that breeds hatred." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin.

Jiang Baimian was about to say that it was possible, but Shang Jianyao started to add:

"Old K fell in love with 'Garibaldi', and 'Garibaldi' fell in love with someone else and abandoned him..."

...Long Yuehong was at a loss for what to say. In the end, he could only mock:

"If we can't get it together, we will destroy it?"

"There are many people like this, you have to be careful." Shang Jianyao nodded sincerely.

Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said:

"This is not the point. What we need to do now is to collect more information about Old K, observe his residence, where Garibaldi is hiding, and then formulate practical plans.

"Speaking of which, Lao K lives quite close to his good friend."

This refers to Terrence, the second boss of the "Blackshirt Party".

Old K lived only three streets away from the gang leader's home, closer to the Golden Apple District.

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself:

"The older you get, the less courageous you are. When we first arrived in the First City, we dared to visit Terrence directly and try to 'persuade' him. We were not so afraid of accidents. But now, we don't have a full understanding or a complete plan. , let's let 'Garibaldi' starve, he won't be starved to death for a while."

"That's different." Bai Chen responded calmly, "At that time, we had a certain understanding of Terrence through the gang members of the 'Wolf's Den', and the key to the action plan was to get the first move. As long as Terrence was not a 'psychic' We can successfully make 'friends' among those who are awakened at the Corridor's level, or who have the ability and cost to restrain Shang Jian Yao."

As for now, the fact that the "old tune team" is wanted prevents them from visiting Old K directly and starting a dialogue.

This loses the best environment to utilize Shang Jianyao's abilities.

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:

“In short, we have to advance step by step this time and not be reckless.

"Well, the fact that Old K has friends with a large number of nobles is a huge hidden danger and may cause accidents at any time."

…………

After a short rest, the "Old Adjustment Team" took advantage of the rainy night and drove to the Red Giant Wolf District. They planned to make a preliminary observation of Old K and his residence tonight. At the same time, they planned to prepare a few additional safe houses. .

At this time, the rain had lightened up a lot and was falling sparsely. The street lights on the street were dyed with circles of light, creating a dreamlike color in the dark night.

The disguised "old tune team" either came directly to the house or through "friends" to complete the construction of three new safe houses.

Then, they came to Masjar Street where old K lived.

Looking at the house at No. 54 from a distance, Jiang Baimian leaned back on his seat and said thoughtfully:

"It's only what time, all the curtains are closed..."

She was referring to all locations with curtains, such as kitchens, where light still shines through.

"It's not normal." Bai Chen expressed his opinion.

It's just past nine o'clock now. For those heavy laborers in the Green Olive District, it's really time to rest, but for the people in the Red Giant Wolf District who have a lot of assets, the night has just begun.

And Lao K is obviously one of them.

Under this premise, the curtains in the living room facing the street were drawn up, covering them tightly, which seemed very problematic.

"Maybe they want to perform a shadow puppet show." Shang Jianyao looked at the black shadows occasionally revealed on the curtains and said with admiration.

No one paid any attention to him.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds:

"We split up to monitor the front entrance and the back entrance."

Not long after, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao found a suitable monitoring point on the top of an apartment building two streets away. Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also drove to a place where they could observe the back door area and were far enough away.

Surveillance is very boring most of the time. Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao have long been accustomed to this kind of life and have no impatience.

The only thing that bothered them a little was that the rain hadn't stopped yet and the wind was strong on the roof, so their bodies would inevitably get wet.

As time passed by, Jiang Baimian saw the main door of Lao K's house opening on the street, and several people came out.

One of them was as wide and thick as a wall. He was the Sheriff Wall whom the "old tune team" knew.

One of the few people who sent Wall out the door was wearing a white shirt and a black vest. His hair was neatly combed back, with a small amount of silver threads faintly visible.

His nasolabial folds have drooped slightly, his brows are slightly wrinkled, and his eyes are dark blue. He is the target of this operation of the "Old Tune Team", Old K. Colenza.

Old K showed a slight smile and led several of his men to send Wall into the car.

"As expected, Wall is pursuing the 'Garibaldi' line, and has already found Old K..." Jiang Baimian muttered in a low voice, "Fortunately, we didn't come rashly."

She moved her eyes and took note of the characteristics of Wall's police car.

In this way, you can judge the approximate location of the other party by observing the vehicle and provide early warning.

"Actually, we should have made friends with Sheriff Wall a long time ago." Shang Jianyao expressed deep regret.

This time, on the other side.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong noticed a dark black car turning from another street and parked at the back door of Old K's house.

The ajar back door quickly opened, obviously someone was waiting there.

A servant came out. He held a large dark umbrella and opened the door of the black car.

A man got out of the car, got under the umbrella, buried his head, and hurried to the back door.

In the black night, the hazy rain, and the lack of light, neither Long Yuehong nor Bai Chen could see clearly who it was.

It was only when the person was almost out of sight that they noticed that it seemed to be a woman.
