John Zeng had no intention of paying attention to Qi Qingshan's curiosity about him. He was more concerned about Qi Qingshan's purpose of coming to find him. Therefore, as soon as he was sure he was safe, he said directly:
"Sir Qi, I wonder if you came to see me in person this time. What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan also understood that business matters were important, so he quickly stopped his thoughts of exploration and said directly:
"I wonder if you know the situation of the Portuguese garrison in Haojiang?"
When John Zeng heard this, he turned to look at Qi Qingshan in surprise. He didn't understand what the other party meant, but he understood the relationship between the two parties and there was no need to cover up some things too much.
He nodded and said:
"We have some understanding of the number of garrison troops, the location of the military camps, the firepower configuration, and the key points of defense. We have investigated these."
Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan remembered that their operation this time was not a military operation. The other party must have collected some military intelligence, and this information was not what he needed this time.
So, he shook his head and said:
"What I'm talking about is not these situations. We are not going to war with them. We can't use this information. What I want to know is the situation of some of the other party's main officers, such as their names, personalities, home addresses, social relationships, hobbies, Economic conditions and stuff like that.”
Hearing this, John Zeng frowned slightly, wondering what the other party wanted to do?
"We do have this information, but it's not particularly detailed. I don't know what you need it for, and I'm not sure if it can help you."
As soon as Qi Qingshan heard what John Zeng said, he understood that the other party was indirectly asking him about the purpose of needing this information. He also knew in his heart that when Fang Lang asked him to ask them, he never thought of hiding his purpose from the other party, so he smiled and said directly:
“We want to open up a channel for goods from Haojiang to enter the mainland. Once the American blockade begins, we are worried that it is not enough to rely on the port city.
Therefore, we are preparing to open up Haojiang as a backup channel. You will also need to arrange the response work in the mainland. "
John Zeng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Qi Qingshan with some confusion and said:
"What do you mean by the Americans' blockade? The Americans want to blockade the mainland?"
Seeing this, Qi Qingshan understood that John Zeng didn't know about this information yet. But if you think about it, you can understand that such important information must not be disclosed to just anyone in the mainland.
If he hadn't been the boss's lieutenant, there would have been no way he would have known this information. I secretly blamed myself for not saying anything out loud. Although I knew that the other party was one of my own, since the other party's superiors did not let the other party know, it meant that this was not information that the other party should know.
He coughed slightly in embarrassment, picked up the kuaizi, picked up a piece of roast goose, put it into his mouth, and said with a hint of humor:
"I can't say this. If you want to know, you have to ask your superiors. If they think you can know, they will naturally tell you."
Hearing this, John Zeng was immediately alert, knowing that he almost made a mistake. Comrade Gong has already said to himself that if there is any information that needs to be passed on through him, he only needs to pass it on and cannot pry.
This time, because the other party suddenly found me and asked for help, I relaxed a little, forgot about my responsibilities as an intelligence agent, and almost made a principled mistake.
"I'm sorry! It was my fault. I almost made a principled mistake. I will review it with my superiors when I get back.
Regarding your needs, I will convey them to my superiors immediately. If there are any results, I will send them to the Peninsula Hotel tonight. "
His reaction made Qi Qingshan even more embarrassed, waving his hands and saying:
"Don't mind, I don't mean anything else!"
John Zeng naturally understood what Qi Qingshan meant, smiled and waved his hand and said:
"I understand! I'm not angry. But I really shouldn't ask questions. This is a taboo in our industry!"
Seeing that the other party really didn't seem angry, Qi Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not feel that there was anything to hide about the information about the Portuguese officers stationed in Haojiang.
"As far as we know, your place is very close to Haojiang, and the personnel exchanges are also very close. It would be better if anyone knows the handle of the Portuguese officers stationed in Haojiang, or private information."
As soon as Qi Qingshan mentioned that he wanted the other party's leverage, John Zeng understood that they did not want the other party's life, but wanted to use the other party to their advantage.
But although he is an intelligence officer, he turns out to be just an ordinary low-level police officer. He has a lot of information that he does not have access to yet.
However, Qi Qingshan's words gave him a wake-up call. The distance between Hong Kong City and Haojiang is very close, and many locals like to cross the sea to play. Therefore, there are many people who have close contacts with the other side, especially some gang members.
And they, the Hong Kong police, need to have frequent contact with gang members, so after hearing Qi Qingshan's words, he immediately remembered that many gang bosses had visited him in the past few days.
One of the gangs organized people in Hong Kong City and sent them to Haojiang for tourism. They seem to have a branch in Haojiang. Among the people in Hong Kong City, the people who know Haojiang the best are It must be them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and couldn't help but tighten his fingers holding the tachyon.
"As for the people who have close contacts with Haojiang, I actually know a few here. However, they are not our people, they are all gang members. It may be difficult to keep the information confidential from them?"
Hearing this, Qi Qingshan couldn't help but stop Kuaizi who was picking up vegetables, looked at Zeng John and said:
"Oh! Can they know any more secret information?"
At this time, John Zeng simply put down the Kuaizi in his hand and said seriously:
"I don't know if they know any secret information, but they have a way to send contraband ashore without being investigated."
Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan's eyes lit up and he quickly said:
"So, they have established a relationship with Haojiang! I wonder if it would be convenient for me to meet them."
"It's okay to meet them, but they may not be willing to share the information they have."
Needless to say, these gangsters must have opened up connections in Haojiang to be able to transport contraband in unimpeded. It doesn't matter who they connected with. As long as they can control this channel, there will be no obstacles to Fang Lang's subsequent plans.
But it is obviously impossible for those gangsters to hand over the channels through which they make a living. Although John Zeng has been promoted to detective, he cannot make the other party hand over his financial resources with just one word.
But Qi Qingshan obviously didn't have as many worries as John Zeng. He smiled slightly, with a relaxed face, picked up another piece of barbecued pork and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with relish and said:
"It doesn't matter, you just need to tell me their names and locations, and I will naturally find a way to solve the rest."
As soon as these words came out, John Zeng immediately understood what the other party was going to do! Qi Qingshan's simple and direct military thinking shocked him, and he was a little worried that they would cause something big in Hong Kong City again.
"Wait, don't be impatient. Just wait, let me think about it and see if there is any other way!
The person who can master this channel must be their boss, but their boss is not a simple person. He has close relationships with some big bosses of chambers of commerce in Hong Kong City, and also has relationships with several British bosses.
If you attack him directly, it may attract a lot of people's attention, but that won't work. "
Qi Qingshan didn't expect that it would be so troublesome. He was a gang member who was closely related to the boss of the chamber of commerce and had ties to Britain.
However, he quickly realized that this guy often organized cross-sea travel for his customers. These people might be his big customers. A stable and safe travel route is indeed liked by many big shots. If something happens to this guy, maybe someone big will pay attention.
After all, no one knows if these big shots had any clues in this guy's hands when they were playing in the past.
"Then let's see if there's any way to make this guy willingly reveal what he knows?"
John Zeng was deep in thought. After hearing Qi Qingshan's words, he pondered for a while and then slowly said:
"It's not completely impossible. However, this may require the help of Chief Inspector Yao Mu's power."
Qi Qingshan knew who Yao Mu was. Not only had they met on Stanley Street, but later on, this guy also made a special trip to the Peninsula Hotel to visit Fang Lang.
"This Yao Mu is not one of our own. If we involve him, there might be trouble."
No need for Qi Qingshan to say this, John Zeng also knew it very well, which was why he hesitated again and again. He could have directly reported Fang Lang's needs, and the superiors would have provided them with information.
But he knew that the intelligence that the country could provide was not necessarily what they needed. Of course, if Haojiang's intelligence officers were asked to conduct in-depth investigations now, they would definitely be able to find out the information they wanted, but they might not be able to make it in time.
That's why he thought of starting with the gangsters in Hong Kong City.
"Yes! Yao Mu is not an easy person, and he might get caught. Unless we have a justifiable reason. Otherwise, it's really hard to find him."
After hearing John Zeng's words, Qi Qingshan also began to think deeply. For a moment, the box fell into silence.
Just when John Zeng was about to give up this idea, Qi Qingshan seemed to suddenly think of something, patted his thigh and said:
“I thought of a method, but I’m not sure yet whether it will work. I’ll have to wait until I go back to ask my boss for instructions.
You should first apply to your superiors and see if we can provide us with some information from your side.
We both act at the same time to try to get the accurate information we want. "
Hearing this, John Zeng looked at Qi Qingshan in surprise again, but this time he did not ask any questions. He just nodded deeply and said:
"No problem, I'll contact my superiors immediately and try to get the information over as quickly as possible."
When Qi Qingshan returned to the Peninsula Hotel, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
"So, your current plan is to have people ask you for help in the name of Hongyitang, and then you come forward to ask Yao Mu to help solve this problem?"
Fang Lang sat on the sofa in front of the window of the Peninsula Hotel, smoking a cigar and looking at the sea view outside the window and facing Qi Qingshandao beside him.
"Yes, this way I can ask Yao Mu for help in the name of personal need. He should not refuse to give me this face."
Qi Qingshan sat opposite Fang Lang's sofa, looking at Fang Lang with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Obviously, he hoped that Fang Lang would approve his plan.
But Fang Lang did not speak immediately. Instead, he took a deep puff of the cigar, blew out a smoke ring, and then slowly said:
"Do you think Yao Mu won't be able to find out the relationship between me and Hong Yitang?"
Hearing this, Qi Qingshan was obviously taken aback. He really had never thought about this question. His question was not difficult to answer. The Fang family has many projects in Hong Kong City. It is not difficult for Yao Mu to know the relationship between the two. .
If he asked Yao Mu for help in the name of Hong Yitang, he might not feel anything unusual. But he will definitely think that this is what Fang Lang asked him to do, and Yao Mu will definitely find an opportunity to reclaim this favor.
Maybe, when using the Haojiang route to transport goods, the other party will get caught.
"this……"
Seeing that Qi Qingshan seemed to have reacted, Fang Lang did not blame him, but put out his cigar in the ashtray next to him, stood up slowly and said:
"Instead of begging him, we should find a way to get him to come to the door. Let me tell you, if you do this...this..."
After hearing Fang Lang's plan, Qi Qingshan couldn't help but sigh. Compared with his boss, he was indeed not on the same level.
That night, Yao Mu was having dinner with his wife at his mansion, and a subordinate hurried to Yao Mu's home.
"Sir, we just received a message that Bai Cunbao from Hongmen Dasheng Hall has made an appointment with Curly Mao Kang from He Zhongyi to have a supper in Central tonight."
Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but frown, and said with a puzzled look on his face:
"When did the two of them get together? Didn't Bai Cunbao lead the Hongmen Dashengtang to discuss leaving the harbor city?"
Upon hearing this, his subordinates quickly reported what they learned to Yao Muhui:
"It seems that an overseas Hongmen official encountered something in Macau and begged Bai Cunbao.
I didn't expect that this old guy Bai Cunbao would be so active. He immediately came forward in person to make an appointment with Zhongyi Curly Kang. "
He does not mean that. When Yao Mu heard that his subordinates said that Bai Cunbao was very active, he immediately thought of a possibility and quickly asked:
"Do you know it's the Hongmen hall?"
When the subordinates saw Yao Mu, they seemed to be interested. They quickly became serious and thought about it carefully before saying:
“I can’t remember exactly which Tangtang it was, but it seems to be a Hongmen Tangtang from Brazil.”
When Yao Mu, who was eating, heard about Brazil, he stood up in a hurry, startling the wife who was eating opposite and the subordinate. They didn't understand what was going on. How could Chief Inspector Yao be so big? Reaction.
"Are you sure it's the Hongmen Tangkou in Brazil? Is it called the Hongyi Tang in Brazil?"
After listening to Yao Mu's words, the subordinate nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, yes, it seems to be called Brazil Hongyi Hall."
After receiving a positive answer, Yao Mu stood up and walked back and forth in the restaurant, mumbling:
"Well, you Bai Cunbao, we agreed to advance and retreat together. If there is any news about General Fang, please inform me as soon as possible.
Now that the opportunity has come, you want to do it alone.
Fortunately, you have people watching you, otherwise, your kid would have succeeded this time. "
