Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 548
[Chapter 545: Meeting the Eagle Again]
Senior Inspector Cheng Xiaodong of the Serious Crime Unit is a well-known female detective in the police force.
Not only is she outstanding in solving cases, but she is also famous for her strong fighting ability.
In this situation where it is difficult to determine whether the intelligence is true or not, sending her is the best solution.
As for the fact that Cheng Xiaodong’s sister and Cheng Le’er are good friends, it is a completely unexpected gain, and it is impossible to expect such a relationship that has taken several turns to play a key role. While
Director Zhang and David were chatting, someone quickly brought Cheng Xiaodong’s information: “This is Senior Inspector Cheng Xiaodong.”
The information is very simple, mainly to let David look at the photo to recognize the person, so that he would not meet him on the ship and not know that he is “one of his own”.
David took a few glances and closed the information and handed it back: “Logically speaking, knowing that this cruise ship is going to have an accident, I should give up this trip plan.”
“In that case, wouldn’t the Wanshiwu lose a business?” Director Zhang is so old, and he has seen all kinds of people.
Young people like David are either seeking money or excitement.
He doesn’t look like the kind of person who is short of money, so he is just looking for excitement.
This is also in line with the situation of David’s company – to put it simply, he likes to go wherever there is a problem!
So Director Zhang thinks that David will be a perfect partner,
and he is unlikely to refuse the police’s commission. Although the fee is a bit expensive, the Police Department is not short of money, and David does things neatly and without leaving any trouble. The senior police officers, including himself, have a high opinion of David’s Yorozuya.
Director Zhang even wants to invite several masters, including David, to discuss how to train this new team for supernatural events.
In fact, the new department has not yet made a final decision, and it is stuck at this link: forming a new department is not a problem, the problem is whether the newly formed department can perfectly complete the planned work tasks? Is it
so easy to train an exorcist?
These questions are estimated to take quite a while to discuss before there is an answer.
After attending the graduation ceremony of the Queen of War, Cheng Le’er began to urge David to pack up and prepare to board the ship with great interest.
This time, the Fugui Maru departed from Hong Kong and returned to Hong Kong after arriving in Japan.
The round trip lasted 12 days and 11 nights, nearly half a month’s flight. Cheng Le’er felt that she had a great chance and was ready to go all out.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Cheng Le’er specially asked her good friend Cheng Xiaoxi to come to help, hoping that her friend could get Sophia out of the way when necessary to buy herself enough time.
“…”
Cheng Xiaoxi and Sophia have been getting along well during this period and have become good friends.
Now for another good friend, she has to pit this new friend. She always feels uncomfortable in her heart. She has a lot of dissatisfaction and wants to throw it on David.
“It’s all this guy’s fault. He obviously has a girlfriend, but he is still ambiguous with other women. Men are really not good things!”
As a bystander, Cheng Xiaoxi has long seen that David is by no means an innocent person. He feels that he has dug a pit early, just waiting for Le’er, the fool, to jump in.
But what can she do? Now Cheng Le’er can’t listen to any good advice at all. All she thinks about is taking down David.
After packing up, the two sisters went to meet up with David and Sofia, and then the four of them came to the dock together. After finding the Fugui Maru, they prepared to board the ship.
Four people, five large suitcases.
David and Sofia seemed to be traveling light, and Sofia also brought a suitcase. David had no place to put anything.
In comparison, Cheng Le’er and Cheng Xiaoxi each had two large suitcases of personal belongings.
“You came here empty-handed?”
“Yes!” David explained simply: “I brought the important things with me.”
Then he reached out and took Cheng Le’er’s two suitcases. As for Cheng Xiaoxi’s two suitcases, she had to drag them away by herself.
“Is this the Fugui Maru? It doesn’t look very big!” Sofia dragged her suitcase and stood on the dock, looking at the cruise ship docked next to it. This ship looked even worse than the cruise ship in Winter City.
To Sofia, this Fugui Maru even looked a little old.
“It’s not small anymore, and this ship only entertains specific guests, so there won’t be many guests. If we get a particularly large cruise ship, it will seem very empty!”
Cheng Xiaoxi chatted with Sophia for a while, and suddenly a familiar figure appeared not far away: “Huh? Isn’t that my eldest sister and second sister?”
“Your sister?”
“Strange, didn’t the eldest sister say she was on a business trip? Why is she here?”
When Cheng Xiaoxi saw the other party, her eldest sister Cheng Xiaodong also saw her third sister: “Xiaoxi, why are you here?”
“I still want to ask you, didn’t you say you were on a business trip?”
Cheng Xiaodong pointed helplessly at the Fugui Maru next to him, and the meaning was already very clear.
“The business trip you said turned out to be a trip to the sea on the Fugui Maru? Why didn’t you call me for such a good thing?”
“You said you were going out to play with Le’er and didn’t have time to accompany me, so I called Xiaonan.” Cheng Xiaodong was arguing with his sister, but he still found time to say hello to Sophia, Cheng Le’er and David.
While the two sisters were arguing, David also understood the situation: Cheng Xiaodong received a mission to board the Fugui Maru to check whether the information was true.
In order to cover up his identity, an extra quota was prepared. Cheng Xiaodong originally wanted to call his third sister Cheng Xiaoxi, who was a doctor.
In this way, if something really happened, a doctor on the scene might be able to help. As a result,
Cheng Xiaoxi said that she had an appointment with a good friend to go out, so Cheng Xiaodong pulled his second sister Cheng Xiaonan.
Although this trip was for work, there was still a certain degree of danger. However, the accuracy of the information was questionable, and there was a high probability that it would become a pure welfare. In addition, Cheng Xiaodong’s social circle was relatively narrow, and he couldn’t think of anyone else to call except his family. It was
just unexpected that his third sister’s so-called going out to play with friends turned out to be taking the Fugui Maru to go out to sea.
At this time, Cheng Xiaodong noticed the relationship between the people in front of him, which seemed a little abnormal.
After giving his sister Xiaoxi a questioning look and getting the reply of “I’ll talk more about it later”, Cheng Xiaodong put the matter aside for the time being and prepared to board the ship to put away the luggage before talking slowly.
“Sorry!”
While everyone was talking, a short man with a thin figure, wearing a white suit and a top hat walked past several people. Because it was inevitable to bump into each other when walking through the crowd, the other party took the initiative to apologize, so no one paid too much attention.
Only Cheng Xiaodong paid a little attention, because the other party was wearing men’s clothes, but the voice was obviously that of a girl.
She came to investigate the case, so she naturally paid attention to various abnormal situations, and secretly listed this weirdo as one of the targets of the investigation. As a result, when she turned around, she found that the young man named David was greeting a big-nosed man enthusiastically.
“Hey? Jack, didn’t you go back to Europe?”
“David? I didn’t expect to meet you here, it’s great.” Jack gave David a big hug and pulled David’s clothes open, as if he was looking for something: “Is there anything to eat? Bring me something to eat, I’m starving.”
“…” After snatching the clothes back and pushing Jack back half a step to distance himself, David took a piece of chocolate and handed it to him: “Luckily you met me, if it was someone else, I would have called the police long ago.”
“Why call the police?”
“Sue you for harassment!”
Jack, whose eyes glowed green when he saw the chocolate, stuffed the whole chocolate into his mouth as quickly as possible. After he swallowed it and his stomach was finally not so uncomfortable, his IQ gradually returned to normal.
“By the way, are you going to board this ship?”
“Yes.”
“Can you do me a favor? Take me up too?”
At this time, the guests had already started to board the ship. If David hadn’t met Jack, he would have boarded the cruise ship and was led to his room by the waiter.
“Yes, yes…”
Jack understood immediately: “Write it down first and make up later.”
David agreed. Jack had a good credit record with him, so it was nothing to just record an account.
Seeing that the two men had finished chatting, several women next to them also began to board the ship. While David took Jack on board, he asked Jack why he ran back to Hong Kong again. After
asking, he found out that Jack left Hong Kong to continue his daily adventure, but he received a call from his former client.
The other party asked him to do a small favor and go to Hong Kong to find his daughter who ran away from home.
Considering that the other party was a big client and it was indeed a small favor, Jack agreed.
Unexpectedly, this girl named Kiyoko Imamura was much more troublesome than imagined. She was not willing to follow him back to Japan honestly and used various means to get rid of his tracking.
“She also ran to this cruise ship, so I had to find a way to get on the ship.” Jack, who had finished explaining the matter, sighed again that he was lucky: “Fortunately, I met you, David. Since I met you, my luck has become much better.”
By the way, he helped several ladies carry their suitcases. After Jack learned the location and number of the room where David and his friends lived, he put down his luggage and prepared to leave.
He still had to find Kiyoko Imamura, and he felt that it was very redundant for him to stay.
“We’ll talk later when we have a chance.”
After leaving the house, Jack recalled that David was surrounded by so many women, and felt that it would be difficult for David to get off this boat alive.
“I’m so envious!” Jack shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to cheer up and finish the work quickly. Or, find a restaurant to eat first: “I should have asked David for a few more chocolates just now.” The
Asian Eagle went to do his own thing. After knowing the room number of David and his friends, Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Xiaonan also went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.
In a moment, only David, Sophia, Cheng Le’er and Cheng Xiaoxi were left in the room.
Cheng Xiaoxi put down her suitcase and looked here and there, and found that she had suddenly become the most embarrassing person in the room.
