Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 551
[Chapter 548 Charity Poker Contest]
Major McDonald reached into his arms, ready to pull out his gun and fight back.
Before he raised his hand, the other side had already revealed the muzzle of a gun.
“I don’t quite understand what you said, sir, did you recognize the wrong person?” McDonald raised his hands, indicating that he was just an ordinary tourist, and boarded this charity cruise ship for fun: “If you need any help, I will do my best to help.” David
looked at McDonald’s polite and honest appearance. If he didn’t know the plot, he might have been fooled by the other party.
Now he couldn’t be fooled by a few words from the other party, not to mention that he had killed many of McDonald’s men before he came here. The guns, bombs and other items found from those people and their luggage also proved that David did not make a mistake in the target.
“I can be sure that I didn’t make any mistakes.” David pulled the trigger: “It can only be blamed on you for choosing this ship, Major McDonald.”
Bang bang bang!
Two shots in the chest and one shot in the head, David did not give McDonald any chance.
So far, he has almost cleared out the terrorists who boarded the Fugui Maru cruise ship. The remaining few small shrimps have not been cleared out because they are running around on the ship and it is difficult to deal with them for the time being.
David is going to wait here for the right opportunity to completely clean up the remaining few remnants.
Before that, he must first clean up McDonald’s body.
Just as David raised his hand to throw the body into the gap between the shadow space and the real world, the door behind him suddenly opened, and then a nimble figure jumped in.
“Don’t move!”
It was Cheng Xiaodong, the eldest sister of Cheng Xiaoxi. She held a silver revolver in her hand and aimed at David, who was holding a weapon and looked like a murderer who had been caught red-handed.
“I am Senior Inspector Cheng Xiaodong of the Hong Kong Royal Police. Now I order you to put down your weapon!”
David glanced at the pistol in his hand. He took it from another room. With so many weapons, David directly put them into his storage space, and the bodies all “disappeared” on the spot.
As for the sudden lack of many tourists on the ship, what impact will it have on the captain of the cruise ship and the operating company behind it, that is none of David’s business.
He just hopes that this group of terrorists will not disturb his and Cheng Le’er’s itinerary. He hopes to leave Cheng Le’er with a relatively good memory, rather than being forced to interrupt this trip because of fighting with terrorists.
Similarly, he does not want to end this trip early because he has become a murderer for no reason.
“Weapons? What weapons?”
David opened his hands. Cheng Xiaodong was about to say the pistol in your hand, but found that David’s hands were empty and he didn’t hold anything.
How is it possible?
Just when he wanted to check whether it was thrown on the ground by David, he was surprised to find that even the body lying on the ground just now was gone.
If there were no bloodstains, Cheng Xiaodong would even suspect that he was dazzled just now.
“Where did you hide the weapons and the body?”
“Guess!”
“…” Cheng Xiaodong wanted to scold the other party and tell him not to play tricks, but the current situation was not favorable to her. She had no reason to arrest the other party.
Without a body or a weapon, you can’t arrest anyone just by some bloodstains.
“While you are struggling, why not ask the person who followed you to come out first.”
“What…who? Come out!”
Cheng Xiaodong immediately turned around and looked at the door. Before the person appeared, the voice came in first.
“I am Long Jiu, a senior inspector of the Political Department. Don’t shoot.”
Long Jiu walked in slowly, and at the same time showed his empty hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions. After glancing at David, he signaled Cheng Xiaodong to put away the gun: “David Glamorgan, has close contact with the police. As far as I know, this Mr. Glamorgan met with Deputy Director Zhang Biao before boarding the Fugui Maru, and he also checked your file during the meeting.”
“…”
Under normal circumstances, Cheng Xiaodong seriously doubted the authenticity of this sentence; but when it comes from the mouth of a senior inspector of the Political Department, no matter how outrageous it is, it is very likely to be true – the Political Department directly obeys MI5.
“So, this person should be one of us.”
“…” Cheng Xiaodong put down his gun. Although he didn’t put it away directly, he seemed to believe Long Jiu’s words: “So, you were actually sent to support me?”
“I was just asked to help you appropriately according to the situation when you are in trouble.”
“Then you were… these people are terrorists who want to attack the cruise ship?” Cheng Xiaodong guessed the truth immediately. Since the other party came to support him, he must know the information.
Since he took action, it proves that the information is true!
“How many people are there in total?”
“There are still six people left, moving around the ship. I haven’t found a chance to take action yet.”
“…” Cheng Xiaodong noticed the key words: “Where are the others?”
“No one else.” He cleaned up the rest. If Cheng Xiaodong and Long Jiu hadn’t appeared one after another, he would have dealt with the last six cleanly, as if they had never appeared in this world. When
Cheng Xiaodong heard this, she thought of David’s magical method. Although she didn’t know how David did it, she was concerned about why David didn’t notify her?
She had to admit that if she hadn’t been worried about the safety of her third sister and kept a certain amount of attention to David, and found that David was jumping around on the ship and followed him, she might not have discovered this at all.
Even when Fuguiwan returned to Hong Kong, she would most likely regard the intelligence as a false information or rumor, and regard this action as a pure welfare.
Although it’s fun to slack off, this is my job! What is David doing? Stealing my business?
“Wait a minute, I’ll report the situation to my superiors.”
Cheng Xiaodong was about to turn around and go back to her room to take out her satellite phone to inform her superiors, when David, who was originally some distance away from her, suddenly appeared at the door and closed the door to block her way.
“See, this is why I didn’t notify you.” David emphasized: “I don’t want anyone to disturb this voyage, do you understand what I mean?”
“But there are terrorists on the ship!”
“They will be gone soon.” David just wanted to throw the remaining six small fish to the two in front of him to deal with, but now it seems safer to do it himself.
If the Flying Tigers, the Queen of Flowers, etc. were notified to come for support, this trip would definitely not continue.
“How about this, we will act separately and deal with the remaining terrorists, and the subsequent handling will try not to affect the normal navigation of the Fugui Maru as much as possible.”
As a senior inspector of the Political Department, although Long Jiu has an icy face, her ability to read people’s expressions is not bad. She can see that David’s original intention was not to ruin this trip, so he chose to deal with these terrorists without everyone noticing.
It has to be said that she admired David’s strength. Most people would not be able to do such an outrageous thing if they had such an idea. She seriously suspected that David Glamorgan’s true identity was a field officer from MI6, the kind whose number began with “egg”.
Long Jiu took the initiative to take on this matter because of her current mission.
After the gambler came to Hong Kong in a low-key manner, she was tasked with receiving and protecting the gambler Chen Xiaodao and helping the real gambler investigate some things. She and her brother Long Wu accompanied Chen Xiaodao on the Fugui Maru for this purpose. After
discovering that a senior inspector of the serious crime team appeared on the ship, he immediately reported the situation to his superiors. After
an investigation, the superiors told Long Jiu a piece of information that Cheng Xiaodong did not know at present and did not know whether David knew it or not: the terrorists would choose the Fugui Maru, and it might be aimed at the gambler Chen Xiaodao himself.
After receiving the news, Long Jiu immediately discussed it with his brother Long Wu. Since the other party was powerful and there were too few people on his side, he immediately decided to contact Cheng Xiaodong and even David, and the few of them met to study how to deal with this group of gangsters.
Unexpectedly, when she went out, she ran into Cheng Xiaodong carefully following David, so she quietly followed Cheng Xiaodong to see what the two were doing.
Unexpectedly, the development of things was so magical. The sea crisis that had worried the brother and sister was mostly solved by David alone.
This was naturally a good thing for Long Jiu. Not only was the crisis resolved, but her mission could also continue.
“As long as the Fugui Maru continues to sail normally, the next thing will be left to you.” Seeing that the two did not object, David took it as their agreement and prepared to go back to his room to rest.
“Mr. Glamorgan.”
David just turned around and had no time to open the door when Long Jiu suddenly called him.
“What’s the matter?”
“I just want to ask Mr. Glamorgan, will you participate in the charity poker competition held in a few days?”
“Charity poker competition…” David didn’t care about any competition, but when he heard the name of this competition, coupled with the person in front of him, he realized that the fun on this ship seemed to be not over yet: “It sounds interesting, I should join in the fun.”
Long Jiu nodded, as if it was just a casual question.
David looked at Long Jiu, then at Cheng Xiaodong who looked unhappy: “Solve it early and rest early, staying up late is not good for your skin, good night, both of you.”
“…” ×2.
Seeing David’s figure disappear, Cheng Xiaodong asked Long Jiu: “What action will the Political Department take this time?”
Long Jiu looked at Cheng Xiaodong, and she admired and appreciated this famous female police officer very much. In addition to the current situation, Long Jiu quickly made a decision: tell Cheng Xiaodong about the situation, hoping that Cheng Xiaodong can help next.
“Someone pretended to be a gambler?”
“Yes.” Long Jiu nodded: “There have been at least two impersonation incidents, and we suspect that there will be a third one on this cruise ship.”
