"Wealth? Are there any of you who give wealth like this? You don't want my whole family to be rich, do you?"
As a Portuguese officer stationed in Haojiang, Osborne has lived in Haojiang for five or six years. He also has a certain understanding of Cantonese, so after hearing Yao Mu's words, he spoke directly.
Hearing Lieutenant Osborne's words, Yao Mu couldn't help laughing.
"Haha... Lieutenant Osborne is joking, even if someone wants to make your family rich, that person will definitely not be us.
After all, what is recorded here does not have any adverse impact on us, right? "
As he spoke, he did not forget to shake the account book in his hand at Osborne.
These words made Osborne frown, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He understood what Yao Mu meant. This was obviously a warning to him. If this account book was published, the people above would definitely silence him.
It was also hinting to him that even if they took action to get rid of him now, they could still frame the matter on the stakeholders in the ledger.
"You...what exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing that Osborne was obviously really anxious now, Yao Mu also smiled and said slowly:
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Osborne. We really have no ill intentions towards you. We came here mainly because we want to know something about your commander."
Upon hearing this, Osborne's pupils narrowed and he stared at Yao Mu:
"Are you the spies from the other side?"
Yao Mu was stunned by this question, and it took him a long time to react. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Mr. Osborne misunderstood. We would like to have the opportunity to be that person. Unfortunately, we are obviously not qualified. Don't worry, we are not asking you to collect military intelligence.
It's just that your commander didn't follow the rules and offended people he shouldn't have offended. We want to teach him a lesson. "
When Yao Mu answered this question, Osborne kept staring closely at the expression on the other person's face, trying to judge from his expression whether the other person was telling the truth or a lie.
But he couldn't see anything unusual on Yao Mu's face. After hearing the other party say that his commander didn't follow the rules, Osborne couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Because in his impression, there are really not many good officers among his officers. He said that some of them did not follow the rules. He recognized this very much. He even had no idea in his mind who the person he was talking about was. I have a rough guess.
"Since it's my commander who doesn't follow the rules, then go find him! What's the use of you looking for me?"
Yao Mu saw the understanding expression on the other party's face and understood that the other party must have had his own guess about the goal mentioned by him and others.
Moreover, his vigilance towards these people was obviously not as high as when he had previously suspected that they were spies.
"How can we get this thing if we don't come to you!"
Yao Mu said while shaking the account book in his hand.
Seeing his actions, Osborne was filled with hatred. He knew very well that once this account book was exposed, not only would his commander be destroyed, but he himself would also be destroyed.
Moreover, it is very likely that he will be the person most responsible. After all, he is the officer in charge of logistics and the main person in charge.
Now, the other party not only grabbed his commander's lifeline, but also pinched his seven inches. If he wanted to get out of this matter, he had to get back this account book. But the current situation, if he wants Direct robbery is definitely unrealistic.
"Is this the wealth you said you wanted to give me?"
Seeing Osborne's obviously gritted teeth expression, Yao Mu couldn't help laughing.
"Haha... Lieutenant Osborne, don't worry. To be honest, we are not here for your account. This is your business. If I take this business away, I will offend many people.
This is not what I want to see. What I want is your commander’s personal dirt. We only want to target him personally. "
As he spoke, he shook the account book in his hand and said:
"As for this business, I think it's not impossible for us to cooperate."
Yao Mu's meaning was expressed very clearly. Osborne immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but a flash of joy in his eyes:
"You mean, you just need to have some dirty information that can defeat him personally, right?"
Seeing the other party being so polite, Yao Mu couldn't help but want to applaud him. He smiled and nodded:
"Then it depends on whether the information you give allows us to completely defeat him."
At this moment, Yao Mu felt that Osborne was really tempted. At least in his opinion, between himself and his superior, he must have chosen to protect himself.
But I don’t know if it’s because of his sense of honor as a Portuguese officer, or because of his own sense of superiority as a white man. Or maybe, he was just lying on purpose.
After clarifying everyone's purpose, his eyes slowly became calm again.
He sneered at Yao Mu and the others, and said provocatively with a bit of disdain:
"Do you think I will be fooled by you so easily? Can I continue to survive in the army after betraying my commander?
You are so naive, don’t forget, this is Haojiang, the territory of our Portuguese. I am an active military officer in Portugal, if you do anything to harm me. I assure you, you will never escape Haojiang. All that awaits you is death. "
This guy's attitude changed so quickly that it was beyond Yao Mu's expectation. He never expected that the goal that seemed to be within reach just now would suddenly leave them. His eyes instantly became cold.
He, Yao Mu, has never been played like this before!
"You can make us afraid to touch you by confirming your identity as a Portuguese officer?"
"You shameless little mice, if you have the guts, just touch me."
I don't know if it was because he saw Yao Mu still sitting firmly opposite him, but he didn't dare to do anything to him. The expression on Osborne's face became more arrogant and he continued to provoke.
His action obviously aroused Yao Mu's strong dissatisfaction. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and his head came into close contact with a wooden ashtray.
He only felt that his eyes were blurry, and his whole eyes were shining with golden light, and he fell directly on the sofa.
Yao Mu's sudden movement obviously startled the surrounding police officers.
"Tie this bastard up for me. Doesn't he think we can't get out of Haojiang? Then let's have a good chat with him outside Haojiang.
Fuck you, you are so shameless, you pissed me off, and you really made his whole family rich. "
When all the police officers heard this, they were all shocked. They all responded to the order and began to pack up the Portuguese officer and take him away directly with Miss Cai and her daughter.
The environment of this tenement building is indeed not suitable for making more noise. If it really attracts the attention of the local police, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Soon, everyone found a few large wooden boxes and carried the three living people directly out of the tenement building. They quietly returned to the fishing boat at the pier along the path.
When Osborne woke up again, he heard the sound of a diesel engine coming from his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he had been tied to a slightly dilapidated fishing boat, surrounded by the endless sea.
He was being dragged by a rope and slowly hung upside down. Following the rope under his feet, a wooden pole could be seen extending about two meters out of the sea. Needless to say, he was about to become the bait sticking out of the water. This made him struggle in horror, trying to make a sound, but he found that his mouth had been blocked by a piece of rag.
The people around him ignored his struggle and still pulled the rope regardless, slowly hanging him upside down. His whole body slowly hung in the air, and the scene in front of him also appeared upside down, and his head was hit hard. On to the hull.
He could also see two women tied up in the cabin not far away, looking at him in horror.
"Lieutenant Osborne, you woke up so soon! Look, you said we can't live without Haojiang, but what about now?"
Yao Mu's voice came again.
At this moment, Osborne was like a caught fish. No matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain. Even turning his head to look at Yao Mu and talking had become a luxury.
"You damn bastard, how dare you treat me like this? I am an army lieutenant of the Portuguese Empire. If you are caught, you will go to hell."
"Hehe... Lieutenant Osborne, this is the high seas now, not Portugal's territory. We know you are a Portuguese officer, and if you are caught, we will go to hell.
But the premise is that we will be caught! Do you think we'll get caught now? "
Yao Mu's words left Lieutenant Osborne speechless for a moment. As he was hanging upside down, his whole body's blood began to flow downwards, and soon his whole face began to turn red and he began to sweat profusely.
Seeing Osborne's appearance, Yao Mu smiled slightly, gestured to the police officer behind him and said:
"Don't you see that our Lieutenant Osborne is very hot? His head is starting to sweat, why don't we let him cool down!"
The police officers laughed when they heard this. The two people holding the rope let go immediately. Before Lieutenant Osborne, who was hanging upside down on the mast, had time to react, he fell into the cold sea water with a "dong" sound. .
Because his hands and feet were tied, he was unable to struggle. He was quickly filled with seawater, and his whole body was on the verge of suffocation.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness, his whole body was lifted out of the water again, like a fish out of water. He couldn't help but open his mouth and take a big breath, trying to get rid of the suffocation that frightened him.
"Lieutenant Osborne, are you okay? Are you feeling cooler now?"
Hearing the demon's voice, Osborne couldn't help but roared loudly:
"Asshole! You damn bastard, I will never let you go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the old man speak again:
"It seems that our Lieutenant Osborne is still very hot-headed, so let's help him calm down."
As soon as he heard this, Osborne knew that he was in trouble, and quickly wanted to beg for mercy, but before the words could be spoken, his whole body sank into the water with a "dong" sound again, and the sea water poured into his mouth, causing him to choke. He almost suffocated.
Fortunately, when he was just hoisted up, he took a few deep breaths of fresh air, which prevented him from suffocating on the spot, but the time he spent in the water this time was longer than the first time.
When he was dragged out of the water again, he felt completely exhausted and no longer had the confidence to speak harshly. He knew very well in his heart that these people in front of him would really kill him. Didn't care if he was Portuguese or not.
So, after he took two deep breaths, before Yao Mu could continue to ask questions, he took the initiative and said:
"Stop, stop, I said, I said, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."
Seeing this, Yao Mu smiled slightly and cursed in his mind that if he didn't drink the toast, he would be punished by drinking wine.
"What? Lieutenant Osborne, didn't we express it clearly enough before? You still don't know what we want to know?"
At this time, Osborne had really lost all the courage to resist. After hearing Yao Mu's words, he quickly said:
"I said, I said, our battalion commander, Major Holland, has a private room in the Monopoly Hotel, where he goes out with a woman every Wednesday night. If you want to catch him, You can go there directly and have a look!”
Yao Mu was stunned when he heard this. Dating a woman is nothing, unless this woman's identity is somewhat special.
"Do you know who this woman is!"
At this time, Osborne no longer dared to hide anything. When he heard the question, he hurriedly said:
"As far as I know, it should be the wife of the Colonial Secretary. Really, as long as you go to Room 308 of the Monopoly Hotel, you can definitely catch the current one. I have no actual evidence in my hand, but please believe me, I Everything you say is true.”
Yao Mu didn't disbelieve the other party. What he was thinking at this time was, could this matter be used to bring this guy down? After all, what Brazil Hongyitang wants is to take revenge on the other party, not to use this leverage to do anything.
"This kind of thing will make his reputation bad at most. There is no way to bring him down directly. Apart from this news, is there anything else?"
Osborne did not expect that the other party would be dissatisfied with the news. He quickly started to use his brain to find breaking news that could directly bring down Major Holland.
"He is the mastermind of our arms smuggling. I can testify that you have obtained the account book with detailed records. If that is not enough, I can write a confession to you as evidence. With this, you We will definitely defeat him!"
Yao Mu saw Osborne's whole body soaked by the sea water, hanging on the mast and shivering in the sea breeze, and his whole lips were turned purple from the cold. He knew that in this situation, the other party would not lie.
But he really didn't want to expose the arms smuggling business. Although he was a Hong Kong policeman, he was also half a gangster. He knew very well that this business involved the interests of too many people.
Among them, the gangs in Hong Kong City definitely have a lot of interests in it.
"Oh! If that's the case, wouldn't you also go in? It's so upright and awe-inspiring!"
Seeing that Yao Mu still didn't seem to believe him, Lieutenant Osborne was also anxious. He suppressed the chattering of his teeth and said directly:
"Everything I say is true. Once this matter is exposed, we will all be sent to a military court. We will definitely be escorted back to the country by then. We will definitely not be able to get out in ten or eight years."
This time Yao Mu finally understood what Osborne was thinking. This guy obviously thought that if he didn't tell the truth today, he might die.
But if they want to use the name of arms smuggling to bring down Major Holland, they will need his testimony.
In this way, he would have a chance to save his life. As for going to military court and going to jail, that would be a matter later.
