Chapter 7 7. Before liftoff

The American ocean-going cargo ship "Chief Indian" arrived at the Halmahera deep-water pier on September 23. The pier was heavily guarded and two lines of defense were set up.The outer line of defense was set up by the Indonesian Army. Frost was a military attache at the US embassy in Indonesia. He used his old friendship and a 10-carat star sapphire to persuade an army colonel to send 300 people to Frost. special use.Frost said seriously: "There is no other reason for the alert, but because the concentration of nuclear waste is relatively high this time. We don't want Indonesian citizens on Halmahera Island to suffer accidental harm."

The colonel said solemnly: "Thank you for your sense of responsibility to the Indonesian people. I will urge my subordinates to do this well." The second line of defense was the armed American guards that came with the ship. They were all dressed in plain clothes and did not carry heavy weapons, but they must be soldiers from their well-trained demeanor. As soon as the cargo ship arrived at the port, it immediately began to unload intensely.A shore crane and a ship crane stretched out their long arms alternately, hoisted containers one by one from the open cargo hold, slid over the blue sky background, and landed on the container trailer smoothly.

These containers are the same size as regular shipping containers, but with a unique shape.The six sides of the rectangle (including the side with the door) have a thick X-shaped skeleton, and the center of the X-shaped is a round protrusion or concave hole, which is similar to the automatic hook of a train.Those on the pier know that these boxes are destined for the Lagrange cemetery, which was the most common cargo more than a decade ago.After being transported to the Lagrange cemetery, these hooks will be connected to each other to form the spectacular "ghost grid". The unloading work was orderly. All the container trucks on the island were mobilized, and the hoisted boxes were transported away immediately without landing.There is a plainclothes escort in each car, and these plainclothes also came with the boat, all of them are silent, but they are obviously well-trained.

The space field has only one 100-ton truck crane, and the shipment speed is slower.Lu Gang and his subordinates were not present, and their job was only to "open the cargo door". Xiang Renxiang explained the matters that should be paid attention to when loading the cargo, and then avoided according to the requirements of the contract.At night, all 112 containers had been transported to the space field, the field was brightly lit, and the engine of the truck crane kept roaring.Four plainclothes guards guarded the containers waiting to be loaded into the ship, one on each side.They each sat cross-legged on the ground and took out cans of Coke, hamburgers and sausages from their backpacks.By the end of the day, I was already hungry.

The guard on the outside is Carlo, a retired Marine Corps sergeant who was temporarily recruited this time.All he cared about was the $2,000 reward, and he had no interest in the task itself.It is said that this is a pile of nuclear waste, but why is it so heavily guarded?But he doesn't want to bother about it, and the work will be done tomorrow, and he will pay 2,000 yuan to say goodbye here, and he has to hurry to find the next job.When he was eating, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance coming from the front. Maybe the guards over there were eating something delicious, but he didn't care.Soon, his mind began to dull, he rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and finally tilted to the ground.

Mike and Campbell sneaked up in night suits and masks. Mike and Campbell came to Indonesia by ship two days ago and settled down in a small hotel on Halmahera Island.Since that meeting at the Wallace nightclub, Cabellelou has organized an operation called "The Last Supper."He first sent people to the port of San Francisco in the United States to verify that there was indeed an ocean-going cargo ship "Indian Chief" that had set off for Indonesia five days ago. According to the port's records, the cargo ship was loaded with iron ore.The man went back up the river and found out that the ore had been shipped from the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump in Nevada.So far, it can be determined that the information provided by Mike and his speculation are correct. Uncle Sam really wants to throw this blushing property into the Lagrange cemetery.But Cabalero still decided to send Mike and Campbell to sneak into the scene to further identify the cargo.

At night, the two put on their night clothes and brought various tools, and quickly sneaked to the first line of defense outside the space field. A second lieutenant was waiting for them here, and quietly led them through the blockade.The two neighboring guards nodded to them, turned around and watched the periphery vigilantly.The three soldiers were bought for only $1,000, far less than the value of Frost's star sapphire. The second line of defense was ahead, and the plainclothes guard Carlo was eating his dinner with his back turned to this side.Campbell lightly threw an anesthesia bomb at Carlo, and watched Carlo struggle with sleep, and finally slipped down silently.The two crawled over and covered Carlo's face with an anesthetic towel for a while.They deftly poured special lubricating oil into the hinge of the box door, cut off the lead seal, and opened the box door silently.

The inside of the container was indeed a cylinder with a stainless steel shell that Mike was very familiar with. He took out the Geiger counter, turned on the switch, and immediately heard a brisk creaking sound.Mike asked Campbell to squat down to build a personal ladder. He climbed to the metal column on the top floor, opened the shell, and searched carefully on the inner glass waste column with a flashlight. He found the hidden lock and opened it with the key he had with him.Sure enough, there was a smooth and cold nuclear bomb inside, and the Geiger counter stopped beeping instead.He knew it was because the rays were too intense, exceeding the reaction frequency of the counter.

With his familiarity with nuclear bombs, he immediately concluded that it was a B61-11 atomic bomb, 12 feet long, capable of penetrating deep into the ground and detonating, destroying underground facilities hundreds of meters down. This was a new product in the 1990s , the so-called "smart nuclear bomb", after 2022, 14 were kept secretly. He opened another glass body, which contained the nuclear warheads of the Trident submarine missiles, with a single warhead having an equivalent of 100,000 tons.The missile can contain 17 warheads, with a range of 11,000 kilometers and an error of only a few meters. This is the leading variety in the US nuclear arsenal, and 170 of them were kept secretly later.

So far, it is certain that this is the batch of nuclear bombs with a total of 2,250 pieces. There are 112 containers, about 20 to 25 pieces per box, which is very consistent with the figures he has mastered. He looked at his palms. Even though he was wearing thick lead gloves, the radiation he was exposed to was already overdosed. Maybe his arms would turn black and rot in a few days.He has nothing to fear about this, he has fulfilled his wish in this world, and even wants to be locked in a container and die with his "little boy".But the cold-eyed killer below, the dose he was exposed to today would not let him die.But there is no need to feel sorry for him, even if there is no radiation, this kind of person may not die well.

He climbed down and lifted Camby up again.Although the killer doesn't necessarily know what a nuclear bomb looks like, in order to convince Cabellelu as much as possible, he should let Campbell see it with his own eyes.Campbell didn't see what was going on, he slipped off Mike's shoulders, nodded, signaling that it was time to retreat.After they came out, they carefully listened to their surroundings. When there was no movement, they closed the door of the container, and used superglue to disguise the severed lead wire and restore it.In a tight shipment, no one would think to check the seals. Before they left, they sprayed Carlo's nostrils with some sobriety.Carlo woke up a few minutes later and saw himself leaning on the container with half a hamburger in his hand. He thought he must be too tired and took a nap. Fortunately, the boss didn't see it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get the reward.He cursed under his breath and began to gobble it up. At 10 a.m. the next day, Lu Gang and Pinto were notified by Frost and hurried to the space launch site. All the goods have been loaded, the truck crane has been withdrawn, the scene has returned to calm, and there are very few staff members. "Noah's Ark" crouched there quietly, just like in the past.The outer blockade established by the Indonesian Army has been evacuated, leaving only four plainclothes personnel in the space field. They paced leisurely around the Noah's Ark and scanned the surroundings keenly. Frost led the two into the cargo hold.The cabin door was locked and sealed, and a fifth plainclothes guard was here.Frost said: "The cargo is all shipped. I will only leave these five guards until the spacecraft is in the air and then withdraw. I think the $100 million has been transferred to your account by detouring Barings Bank." "Yes, our cooperation this time will definitely be very pleasant. I will immediately start ignition preparations, install metal fuel and liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen in the power system, and conduct a test run of the control system. Four days later, at six o'clock in the morning on September 30th Lift off on time." He smiled and said, "Please don't worry, I'm already familiar with putting nuclear waste at Lagrange." Frost smiled and hugged the two in turn: "Then let's say goodbye, I want to go back to China right away, and I am waiting for my report over there." "Okay, have a nice trip, where's Mister Rogers? Is he going back with you?" "He is already waiting for me in Jakarta, and we will return on the same plane." Pinto said regretfully: "You should stay. According to the usual practice, the owner of the cargo must be present when the spacecraft lifts off." "It's really a pity, but I don't want to show off in front of the reporters' cameras. Goodbye." Half an hour later, he had boarded an Apache helicopter of the Indonesian Army and was flying to Jakarta.Frost was in a very relaxed mood.So far so good, the hardest part of the mission has been passed without a glitch or a leak.He is going back to the United States to meet Mr. Brown and report on the operation in detail.Four days later, he wanted to return here secretly to watch the launch of Noah's Ark.If it can be successfully lifted into the air, unloaded smoothly, and then the spacecraft explodes "smoothly", then this secret will be buried forever in the Lagrange cemetery.After that, the old Pinto will also die in a car accident, Lu's Space Transportation Company will cease to exist, and the remaining 50 million US dollars will probably not have to be paid. Poor delivery man, may they rest in peace in space. Rogers was already waiting at the Mayoran International Airport in Jakarta. The flight to New York, USA took off an hour later, and they made a connecting flight from New York to rush back to Washington. Committee C is scheduled to hold a plenary meeting on September 30, since John three months ago.After the sudden death of President Stark due to myocardial infarction, the young Whitham has taken over as president. At this meeting, Committee C will decide whether to inform the new president of these circumstances.Mr Brown said he wanted to hear a detailed report on the operation ahead of the meeting. The next day, Lu Gang was busy on the spaceship for a whole day.Mr. Hans, the ground director, was in charge of the ignition and adjustment, a rigid and strict German, and he was also an old man of Lu's company.Hans's technical attainments are trustworthy, but Lu Gang still stays with him, offering some pertinent suggestions as the commander.It wasn't until evening that he pulled old Larry away from the space field.He came to the exit in the electric car provided by the space field and changed to his Audi. The islanders knew that there was going to be a launch soon, and many vendors were clamoring to sell their goods at the exit.Lu Gang happened to see an independent white old man behind the group of hawkers before taking the bus.Lu Gang was sensitively aware of his gaze, but when he turned his gaze away, the old man turned away as if nothing had happened. But Lu Gang's well-trained gaze has captured his momentary expression in the field of vision.His eyes are very strange, focused, pity, and seem a little sad.Lu Gang had already stopped, trying to walk towards this strange old man, but the old man had already disappeared into the crowd. This was Lu Gang's first meeting with God of War Mike, although he didn't know the identity of God of War at that time.Mike was going to take the evening ferry to leave the island. Before he left, he said that he wanted to visit the launch site again, and Campbell agreed after a little hesitation.Mike knew that one of the tasks assigned to Campbell by Cabilero must be to monitor himself, to monitor this unreliable old guy who came out of the American elite society.But during the few days of getting along, especially after it was confirmed that the nuclear bomb had indeed been delivered, Campbell respected him very much.Mike often thought to himself that this was probably an instinctive respect for the little villain (killing with pistols and knives) to the big villain (killing with nuclear bombs). When staying in Cali City, they had already been familiar with Lu Gang and his Lu's Space Transportation Company from the materials.Therefore, as soon as Lu Gang came out of the exit of the launch site, Mike recognized him, and couldn't help feeling pity.According to his estimate, since Lu Gang was implicated in this incident, it might be more ominous. Neither the US secret agents nor the Cali Group will let this person survive after the incident is over.Of course he knew that his pity was just the crocodile's tears. A Lu Gang was nothing compared to the hundreds of millions of people that 2,250 nuclear bombs could kill, but Mike still couldn't let go of the pity and guilt in his heart.Seeing Lu Gang coming towards him, he seemed to want to chat with him, so he turned around hastily and left with Campbell. There is a small three-story building in the northwest of Halmahera Island, which is the property of Lushi Space Company. The small building is hidden in a coconut grove, overlooking the blue bay.When there is no launch business, it is usually managed by two Filipino maids.Before each launch, the relevant personnel of Lu's company set out here. The maid took Lugang and Larry's coats, asked them if they had dinner, and said that no one in the company was at home, and that Banks and Blake had gone out early (the maid said with a pursed smile, they must have gone Looking for a girl), Mr. Pinto went to the local bank to do some business, and Mr. Hans, of course, would not come back.Lu Gang smiled and said to Larry, "Just the two of us, have a few glasses of wine quietly. How about some Chinese wine tonight? I'll go fry some Chinese dishes and drink." After working in Lu's Company for nearly 40 years, the old Larry has already become a connoisseur of Chinese wines, and he can know all kinds of famous Chinese wines.He smiled and said, "Well, let's see who gets knocked down first between the two of us." The maid stood at the door of the kitchen, smiling as the chairman put on an apron, and quickly fried several dishes, including spicy shredded chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, shredded fish-flavored pork, stir-fried mutton, etc., and brought them to the restaurant steaming hot .Old Larry took a long breath greedily: "Smells, really smells!" Lu Gang took off his apron, and grinningly took wine bottles out of the wine cabinet. He took out two white frosted glass bottles.Larry didn't understand Chinese characters, so he asked, "What kind of wine is this? I don't think I've seen it before." "Wolong Yuye is my hometown wine. It is not very famous in China, but it tastes mellow and peaceful, with a lingering aftertaste. I like drinking it very much." "Okay, I'll drink it today too." Clear white wine gurgled out from the anti-counterfeit one-way valve at the neck of the bottle.Old Larry sniffed twice first: "Well, not bad!" He grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table and said with a smile, "Since it's Chinese food and drink, let's completely Chineseize it today." The two began to drink each other . Old Larry was very drunk, chattering all over the place.But his small deep-set eyes were staring at Lu Gang sharply.Lu Gang obviously had something on his mind, his eyes were dazed occasionally, and he stared out the window fixedly.Lu Gang stopped for a while and said: "Bing'er went to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, did you know? Not with Yao Yunqi, but with a guy named Tang, the guy who directed the hero to save the beauty in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River last time.", Old Larry Oh let out a cry.He saw the pain deep in Lu Gang's eyes, and asked carefully, "How is that man?" "I don't know, I'm too busy this time, so I didn't bother to check him. He looks good, and I'm infatuated with Bing'er, but I always feel that this person has a bit of evil." Larry carefully persuaded: "Lu Gang, Bing'er should get married, I'm afraid you should make up your mind, if you really like a girl, don't worry about what outsiders say. You are already 35 years old." Lu Gang waved his hand sullenly, not letting him continue.After drinking for a while, Larry couldn't help but asked him: "Are you worried today? I can see that you have something on your mind. Don't be bored, talk to uncle." Lu Gang smiled wryly and said: "It's nothing. You know I never believe in omens, such as black cats running past, which foretell bad luck, etc., but I saw that old white man at the exit of the launch site today, and I have always been uneasy. You know that man What is the look in your eyes when you look at me? It’s really like a person who came to bid farewell to a friend who is terminally ill and doesn’t know it!” He took another big sip, shook his head and said, “Now his eyes are still before my eyes." Larry breathed a sigh of relief: "You are really suspicious, why didn't I see it? It will be fine, don't worry." Lu Gang forced a smile: "I hope so. Oh, I was just trying to persuade you. After finishing this business, I will give you a sum of money. In the future, you will not go to heaven and go home to take care of yourselves. I heard that your Has the family been in touch?" "Well, my daughter's family escaped from the flood and now live in Rangpur. But I don't want to go back. I have given the bones to Lu's Company." Lu Gang smiled and said: "I know you must be reluctant to leave China Wine, well, you stay in Taipei, but don't go to heaven, after all, the risk is too great." When Pinto arrived, he could smell the strong aroma of wine when he entered the door. The two sat on the floor with two frosted glass wine bottles thrown on the ground.He frowned and said hello: "Old Hozen, hello." Old Larry said drunkenly, "Hello, my old Brazilian hippopotamus." Lu Gang drunkenly got up and hugged Pinto, and Pinto gently reprimanded old Larry: "Old guy, you shouldn't have allowed him to drink so much, the spaceship is going to take off soon. There are so many things waiting to be done in these two days! " Old Larry's eyes were very sober.He said: "I can't help it. Lu Gang forced me to come here. He is in a bad mood." Pinto looked at Lu Gang sharply: "Son, do you have something on your mind?" Lu Gang avoided his gaze, and said hoarsely: "Has the 100 million US dollars been remitted? Will there be any mistakes in the procedures?" "I have already checked, Lu Gang, this business is good, and the profit is very considerable." Lu Gang said in a low voice: "That's exactly what I'm worried about. I don't know why I feel a little uneasy tonight, but it's not all because of the strict confidentiality clause this time. You know, there have been many cargo owners who asked to keep the cargo confidential in the past. But only this time there is an ominous feeling. Is it because their conditions are too superior? Too easy to give in? Frost and Rogers are definitely not easy people to deal with, especially Frost, he looks at people deep in his eyes There is always a gleam of shadow, just like a 200-year-old carving spirit!" This made old Larry and Pinto laugh.Lu Gang asked: "Uncle Pinto, do you believe in premonitions?" Pinto said with a smile: "I only believe in half. When it augurs good luck, I believe it. When it augurs bad luck, I resolutely reject it. Lu Gang, don't think wildly, even if the cargo hold is filled with Satan, wait until it is transported to the cold The distant Lagrange cemetery is not afraid of it making waves." Lu Gang grinned and said, "Thank you uncle for your good words. I called you here to make arrangements and leave a will. In case of any accident on the 'Noah's Ark', I want to divide the inheritance left by my father. Old Hozen Uncle, don’t make such a sad face, I just want to scare Death, that is my inseparable good friend, we have been wrestling for more than ten years, and he has never taken advantage of me.” Pinto heard a bit of sarcasm from his cynical laughter, and he said: "Okay, let's draw up the will tonight. But I advise you not to give up custody of Lu Bing's share for the time being. She hasn't Recovering from amnesia, the mental state is not normal enough. If left to her, she will buy it all overnight as flowers or diamond rings, or even sprinkle it from the balcony." Lu Gang nodded: "I list you as the second guardian. In case something happens to me, please take care of her. Please also tell her that I will keep an eye on her in the Lagrange cemetery and tell her not to Let me down." He suddenly laughed hootingly: "Hey, why are you saying such frustrating words. What's the matter today? It's all because of that unlucky old white man." Pinto didn't know what kind of old white man he was. He exchanged glances with old Larry, and old Larry shook his head slightly. Pinto didn't ask anymore, and said: "It's too late today, I'll arrange the drafting and notarization of the will tomorrow, you should rest. Old hozen, next time I see you let him mess around with his temper, I will hold my foot Dip you in a wine vat." "You should also rest, it's past 12 o'clock." "I still have something small to do, I'll be right back." Pinto bid farewell to the two and left the house alone.He started his Mercedes downstairs and slowly slid out of the parking area.Before speeding up, he quietly looked in the rearview mirror, and saw an ordinary Toyota slowly crawling out of the shadows, following closely behind him. Since yesterday, he has noticed that someone seems to be following him, and now it is certain.From this point of view, Frost left at least two watchers besides the five people who stayed behind, keeping a 24-hour monitoring of himself.This doesn't mean anything at the moment. It is possible that they are not at ease about whether the owner of the cargo can keep it secret. This is just a preventive measure, but... who knows, maybe Frost has another trick?He couldn't help laughing, thinking of Lu Gang's pertinent comment: an old carving spirit who has been practicing for 200 years. He drove to the day and night sales point, bought a pack of razor blades and a pack of cigarettes, then returned to the place where he stayed and parked the car.The doors of Lu Gang and Larry's rooms were closed, and it seemed that they had fallen asleep.He went back to the house and looked out through the crack of the curtain before turning on the light.A fuchsia Santana drove over silently and stopped under the shadow of a tree 50 meters away. This must be the watcher's relay. In order not to affect Lu Gang's emotions, he was not going to tell him these things.But he will never be indifferent. Tomorrow he's going to hire a private detective to conduct a wiretapping check of the house and be on the lookout for someone sticking a plastic ticking bomb to the chassis of his car. Tang Shilong's private jet was scheduled to go to Australia on September 26. Di Ming took the Qantas flight to Sydney one day in advance, and then transferred to a small passenger plane to Townsville.After leaving the airport, he immediately rented a Little Goat car and went to the beach to look for Tang Shilong. The car sped along the newly built relatively simple coastal road.After the sea level rose by 60 meters, most of the beautiful Great Barrier Reef has been covered under water.Through the extremely clear sea water, you can also see some white or red buildings lying quietly on the bottom of the water.The unique plants on the beach, such as mangroves and pandanus trees, were submerged by the rapidly rising sea water, and some of them died. Only a few of them occupied new commanding heights as the water level rose. Marine animals seem to be more active.Several killer whales spray water on the distant sea.From time to time, the fin tips of dolphins can be seen.The waves rushed over, throwing the white coral fragments onto the embankment of the new road. Di Ming was very lucky. After checking three or four hotels, he found the names of Tang Shilong and Lu Bing in a "squid" hotel with a strange name.He was worried that the two of them would register under pseudonyms, and it would be more troublesome to find them, but he didn't expect it to be so easy-this is another good sign.Soon, he found Tang Shilong's beautiful awning on the adjacent beach. After the ozone layer thinned, brown skin was out of fashion in high society, so beachside nudist baths have become a must have awnings, covered with a metal coating that absorbs ultraviolet rays.After the sun faded, naked swimmers put on sunscreen, stepped out of their tents to play, and some surfed in the sea. Di Ming rented a small tent near Tang Shilong.While Tang Shilong and Lu Bing were diving underwater, they installed bugs in their tent, and then leaned back on the cool chair to observe the surroundings.Expensive man-made sandy beaches lie beneath your feet, and the tourists are all dignitaries, the lucky ones in this increasingly dilapidated world.He (she) has a fit body and delicate skin, frankly showing his plump breasts, purple areolas, protruding buttocks and black pussy.Di Ming looked at these people with a philosopher's gaze.He is old school at heart, but by no means pedantic.He knew that during the 3 million years of ignorance, human beings lived naked all the time. At that time, no one (ape man) would think that being naked was depravity.Following the enlightenment of civilization, that is, after eating the fruit of wisdom as mentioned in the Bible, human beings know shame and use clothing to cover up the differences between men and women.Then civilization turned around again, and human concepts returned to the period of ignorance.Especially after this great decline in civilization, nudity has become a wild fashion, a kind of end-of-the-century emotional abuse.Is this really a harbinger of the decline of civilization? Tang Shilong and Lu Bing, who were also naked, ran over from the sea holding hands, and got into the tent impatiently. Here, the two completely abandoned the reservedness they had in China. They were like a pair of deer in heat. Their lovemaking can be heard from outside the tent without the use of bugs. After a long time, the two calmed down.Lu Bing murmured like a bird, talking about meaningless daughter whispers.Tang Shilong didn't speak much, and only responded occasionally.According to Di Ming's imagination, he must be hugging Lu Bing, looking up at Lan Tian outside the tent, with a mysterious smile on his lips. Finally I heard Tang Shilong say: "Bing'er, I don't think it's too hasty to propose marriage now, I beg you to marry me." Lu Bing smiled and didn't speak.Tang said: "We both suffer from the same disease and have lost our parents. I only have a rich adoptive father. I have already told your adoptive father about your situation. He is looking forward to seeing you." Lu Bing smiled and said, "Wait another month, maybe we will hate each other during this time." There was a burst of passionate kisses in the bug. Tang Shilong said with a smile: "I will never hate you. As for you, even if you get tired of me, I will never let go. Oh, your brother really hates me, remember in The first time we met at Qixingyan? That time your brother stared at me coldly, like staring at a toad." Lu Bing said coldly, "Don't worry about him." Tang Shilong jokingly said: "Tell me how to please him. Flowers of money? Beautiful women? My adoptive father has two daughters under his knees, who are more bold and unrestrained than gypsy girls. Every time I go back, they want to eat me alive. Don't care at all that I'm a foster brother. I can let your brother pick one." Lu Bing said impatiently: "I said leave him alone, he can't interfere with my marriage." "Then you agreed to marry me? How about adoptive father arranging the most unique wedding for us, held in outer space? Have you ever traveled in space with the 'Noah's Ark'?" "No. Generally speaking, my brother never disobeys my wishes, except this one. He said space travel is too dangerous." "Then it's settled, how about we have the grandest wedding in space, and then go on a spacewalk in our wedding dress?" Lu Bing hesitated, she obviously wasn't sure whether Tang was joking or serious.At last she believed it, and said with a smile, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet." But there was unconcealable excitement in her voice.Tang Shilong laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I'll contact my father right away, and we will appear on the back of the moon in a few days, surprising your brother!" There was another tut-tsk kiss, Lu Bing seemed to have acquiesced in this decision.Di Ming looked at his watch, it was ten minutes to eight.During the few days of monitoring before this, he discovered that Tang Shilong had to make a call every day at 8:00 p.m., no indoor phone or mobile phone.He always had to find a new phone booth every time, and carefully erased the number from the phone's memory after calling.This excessive caution shows that he will not chat with his grandmother. It was almost 8 o'clock, Di Ming was fully dressed, returned to the car and waited. Tang Shilong said: "Come on, my little bird, I'll put on your bra for you, let's find a phone booth and call foster father." Lu Bing had already put on her swimming trunks, and turned her back to let her lover fasten the buckle of her bra. She said puzzledly, "Why do you have to go to the phone booth? I have a wireless phone in my coat pocket. Use your A car phone would work too." Tang Shilong lowered his head and kissed her cleavage, and said seriously in a low voice: "I am a pervert from Interpol, and I have raped and killed 100 young women. Do you think I can easily expose my whereabouts?" Lu Bing shook off his hug and said coldly: "Is this joke funny?" Tang Shilong apologized: "Of course it's boring, please forgive me." He sighed and said: "Binger, please forgive me, I can't reveal my identity right now. I will tell you when the time is right, and I will never hide it. You." He changed to a joking tone again, "I must win your love before I reveal my identity, otherwise, when you find out that I am a boring gravekeeper or scavenger, you will definitely drive me away." Lu Bing was no longer angry, and said with interest: "Are you Agent 007? Or the number one killer of the underworld? The Italian Mafia?" Tang Shilong smiled and said, "It's all possible. You can use your imagination as much as you want." "So, when did you tell me? After marriage?" "Of course, the treasure cover must be lifted until then. I want to see if you have the guts to 'take a risk' and choose an unknown husband." Lu Bing giggled.They got out of the tent and walked to their cars.At 3 minutes to 8, they drove to a telephone booth on the beach.Tang Shilong was about to stop when a small car brushed the ground and stopped by rubbing against the phone booth.A 40-year-old man with a Chinese appearance went in and made a phone call in a hurry.Tang Shilong hesitated a little, but Lu Bing said, "Let's find another telephone booth." Tang Shilong didn't speak. At this time, the reckless little man had already hung up the phone angrily. It seemed that there was no connection. He left the phone booth and drove away in a hurry.Tang Shilong immediately stepped in, took off the earphones, and dialed the phone: "Hello, I'm Hank, please call Mr. Galeano." He covered the microphone and said to Lu Bing, "That's my adoptive father's housekeeper. Hello, yes Mr. Galeano? Please tell my dad that my love offensive was successful and now that beautiful bird is in my arms. Please get that space bus ready, I want to have a wedding in the sky as scheduled .” Mr. Galeano said with a smile on the phone: "Your father has already made preparations in advance. He believes in your ability and knows that you will be able to catch the most beautiful girl in the world. The small bus has already departed, and it is estimated that it has arrived now The Kourou Space Field in French Guiana. Hank, do you know? Your two younger sisters know you have another love, and they are gnashing their teeth with hatred. They must kill you. Haha." "Really? Please tell them that I have found a very masculine man for them, that is, Lu Bing's brother Lu Gang, and let the two of them fight for it. Goodbye, Mr. Galeano." "Goodbye, please give my regards to the girl in your arms." Tang Shilong turned his head and told Lu Bing: "Did you hear that? My adoptive father has transported the space bus nicknamed 'Little Moth' to the Kourou launch site, where the European Space Agency used to launch the Ariana rocket. This time I will Fly the ship yourself." Lu Bing asked in surprise: "You? Can you drive by yourself?" Tang Shilong said with a smile: "Of course, don't imagine it too difficult. This is a kind of foolish spaceship, which can be piloted after a few days of training. 20 years ago, space travel was very popular. driving." Lu Bing shouted happily: "Really? You can teach me too!" They didn't know that the "reckless" little man they met in the phone booth was listening to their conversation 100 meters away, and he had just pressed the bug on the phone case.He repeatedly heard one sentence: "I want to hold a wedding in heaven as scheduled." Di Ming chewed, and there seemed to be nothing strange about the call itself. If there was anything suspicious, it would be the word "as scheduled".Could it be that the father also set a strict schedule for his son's pursuit of women?He pressed a button, and the conversion device in the bug changed the dial tone into numbers, which were displayed on the LCD screen. 00582384886255, this is a Venezuelan phone number. After talking on the phone, Tang Shilong and Lu Bing went back to the beach, probably they would play there all night.Di Ming thought for a while, and drove back to the hotel. He wanted to find out the origin of the number first. As soon as he entered the tent, Lu Bing laughed and threw Tang Shilong down on the inflatable rubber mat.This Tang Shilong has inexhaustible whimsical ideas in his head, which suits Lu Bing's appetite very well.Have a wedding in the sky!Spacewalk! Someone who can come up with this idea is really worthy of her love.They took off the only fig leaf left on their bodies, and at the same time completely threw away the shackles of morality, leaving only the stirring of lust.Tang Shilong is very strong, with a broad chest and protruding tendons in his arms. It seems that he must have undergone special bodybuilding training.This body type is rare in China. For example, Yao Yunqi's fine arms and thin legs cannot be compared with him at all.Perhaps only Brother Lu Gang is stronger than him.Thinking of Lu Gang, she suddenly felt stabbed in the heart, what if her brother saw her debauchery?In order to get rid of this sense of guilt, she forced herself to sink deeper into the sea of ​​desire, she leaned on Tang Shilong's body, pressed her full breasts against his chest tightly, and asked with a smile: "Hey, shall we do it again? " Tang Shilong did not respond to her.He frowned slightly, thoughtful, and after a while he said, "My call book! I forgot it in the phone booth." 他把鲁冰轻轻地推下去，穿上泳裤。鲁冰的自尊心被极大地伤害了，她甩脱恋人的手，冷冷地盯着他。但唐世龙这会儿没有闲心去抚慰她，他只说了一句：你别动，我马上回来。便迅速走出帐蓬。 他跳上汽车开到刚才那个电话亭，亭旁杳无人影。他走进去，以职业性的目光机警地搜索着。刚才，打电话后他总有一种不祥的直觉，似乎哪儿出了一点断裂。是那个小个子中国人？那人是中国人基本可以肯定。大陆来的中国人常有一种特殊的“中国”味，令人一望便知。但他的举止并无可疑之处。那时他急着打一个电话，没打通，又很快走了。这些年中国富佬在澳大利亚举目可见，在旅游旺季更多，单是这个浴场就很有几个中国人。不过这些中国人有一个很奇怪的特点，他们之间基本互不来往，似乎他们在国内的交往已经太多了，出国旅游就要躲个清静。 但不管怎样，唐世龙的直觉还是唧唧地响着警报，而他的直觉从来没有骗过他。也许是因为这个单身的中国人不象是一个旅游者？那些富有的旅游者身上常常有一种懒散闲适的气质，而他却没有。正是这一点异常，在下意识中向他敲响了警钟。暮色已重，亭内的电灯太昏暗，他调过车头，把汽车大灯指向电话亭，细心地搜索着。他的搜索终于有了结果，在电话机座的内侧发现有一处微带粘性，变换视角，可以看出那儿有一个微微发暗的小圆形区。他知道，那儿很可能揿有一个圆形的窃听器，不过这时已经被取走了。 也可能仅仅是自己的多疑？但多年的黑道生涯教会他不要放过任何蛛丝马迹。 他回忆一下，那人的汽车似乎是乳白色的，车型较小，车牌号中有两个连在一起的0。那人的面容在暮色中没有看清，但个子短小是比较明显的特征。这几点合起来，已经足以把一个跟梢者辨认出来，只要他继续呆在附近。 他沉思着回到帐蓬，鲁冰怒火正炽，在暮色中目光灼灼地盯着他，象一只愤怒的母猫。唐世龙去搂抱她时，她用力地甩开了。不过唐世龙并不担心，他已经确信自己对鲁冰的吸引力，自信能玩住这个痴情的女人。他把鲁冰的右手硬拉过来，在她手心一笔一划地写着：有人窃听！鲁冰浑身一震，询问地望望恋人，后者肯定地点点头。 鲁冰相信了，不过她的神情中并没有疑虑或者胆怯，相反倒现出亢奋，好象是一个终于被应允参加危险游戏的孩子。她目光炯炯地愣了一会儿神，忽然大笑着把唐世龙扑倒在沙滩上。 晚上，狄明在自己的旅馆里拨了一个北京的电话。对方是中国国家安全部的一名高级官员，是两年前偶然结识的。那次狄明接了一桩业务，一个哭哭啼啼的中年女人要他调查她丈夫有多少外遇，尤其是有多少正式的外室，因为他最近行踪鬼祟，经常夜不归宿。在调查过程中，狄明意外发现，那个行踪诡秘的男人并不是在眠花宿柳，他接触的竟然全部是毒贩子线上的人。老实说，对于是否向警方报告，他还犹豫了相当长的时间，他深知贩毒集团的残忍，对于他这种没有官方背景的私人侦探，他们的报复更是没有丝毫顾忌。但最终他的责任心还是占了上风。国安部缉毒署对他的情报非常重视，派了精明强干的陈炳来上海，最终挖出了毒贩子新开辟的从金三角——重庆——上海的一条新交通线。那次两人合作得很愉快，临走陈炳给他留了一个号码，以便在必要时联系。 电话接通了，接电话的是一个年轻的女声，他向这个女人报了姓名，陈炳马上过来了：“狄先生你好。听说你已经迁到厦门了，是吗？” “对，刚迁去一个月。” “希望在新地方大展宏图。嫂夫人是否也迁去了？” “她稍后就来。” “老狄，有什么需要我帮忙的吗？” “我想请你查一个国外的电话号码。” 对方记下号码，说：“行。15分钟后你再打来。” 15分钟后，陈炳告诉他，已在电脑中查询清楚，这个号码属于委内瑞拉一家石油公司，但辑毒署官员都清楚，它实际是哥伦比亚大毒枭卡拜勒鲁所设的一个据点，而且级别很高。“你怎么插手到这里来了？很危险的。”陈炳关心地说。 狄明笑着说：“其实我只是接了一笔普通的业务，一场三角恋爱。”他简单介绍了姚云其的委托。陈炳在电话那边沉吟一会儿，说：“那家鲁氏公司我知道，是一家中型的跨国公司，基地设在台北市和印尼的哈马黑拉岛上，在太空运输业中曾经很有影响，最近也在走下坡路。不过比起太空运输业其它集团的衰败，他们还是相当幸运的。你是否调查过，他们最近有没有什么重要的商业活动？有没有什么重要的人事变动？或其它异常情况？” 狄明突然攥紧了拳头。两秒钟后他才说：“我真该死，我早该想到这上面去的。你说的没错，听说鲁氏公司最近有一桩生意，是去拉格朗日墓场的例行运输。” 陈炳停顿了片刻才问：“拉格朗日的例行运输？不，近10年这个业务已基本停顿了，温室效应突变后，各国都是度日维艰，不会有人再往那儿运送核废料了。你知道是哪个国家往那儿运货？” "I don't know." 陈炳又沉默了片刻：“好，谢谢你告诉我这个消息。我去查证一下，有什么消息我会通知你。” “我该谢谢你才对，谢谢你为我一语道破迷津，我本不该这么愚蠢的。” 陈炳笑道：“不必懊丧，人都有三昏三迷。上次你帮了我的大忙，今天正好由我还了这个人情。” 挂上电话，狄明去冲了个澡，然后枕着双手出神。他心头很沉重。在此之前，他还一直相信唐世龙对鲁冰的追逐只是限于爱情的范围。虽然唐世龙背景复杂，但这场爱情攻势的本身不一定有什么特定目的。现在，陈炳的话令他茅塞顿开。 恰恰在鲁刚要作太空运输时，唐世龙也匆匆把婚礼定在太空，哪有这么巧的事情？ 那么，唐世龙的所作所为恐怕是一个计划周密的美男计，一张大网正逐渐向鲁氏公司合拢。他完全知道哥伦比亚贩毒集团的能量，知道他们的残忍，不禁为痴情的姚云其、漂亮古怪的鲁冰、爽直的鲁刚捏了一把冷汗。 还有自己。看来他和贩毒集团很有缘份，转来转去，他的业务又和毒贩子扯到一块儿了！ 但他不知道，正在这时，那个叫坎贝的哥伦比亚人已在这个旅馆的停车场找到了号码为BW02300的小山羊牌轿车。小型轿车，白色，车牌中有两个挨在一起的0，这些都与老板说的情况吻合。坎贝随即来到旅馆柜台，举着一个钱夹，焦急地说：“小姐，我在半个钟头前送来一个中国客人，他把皮夹掉在我的车上了。请你查一查好吗？他一定急坏了！” 他比划着介绍了中国人的样子，大约40岁，小个子，穿的好象是一件浅灰色西装。小姐说：“你敢肯定他是中国人吗？如果能肯定，我们这儿只有一位狄明先生。在6楼609室。另外还有两位日本人，但年纪显然要大得多。喏，那位中国先生下来了！” 一个身材瘦小、举止干练的中国人正走下楼梯。坎贝扭头盯着他看了一眼，确认以后再也不会认错。然后回头对柜台小姐遗憾地说：“不，不是这位先生。我只好把皮夹交到警察局了。小姐，如果有人找皮夹，请通知他到警察局去，好吗？谢谢你。” 柜台小姐笑着说：“应该谢谢你，诚实的年青人。” 这位诚实的年轻人急急走出旅馆。回到自己的汽车，立即挂通了电话：“唐先生，我查到了，车牌号码BW02300，住在'灰王子'旅馆609室，登记的名字是狄明。这个旅馆的房间我昨天查过，从609房间正好能看到你的窗户和'乌贼'旅馆的大门。我想就是他了。” 那边简单地回答：“等我的命令。”
