Chapter 311 Secret Meeting
It was already late at night and it was almost early morning, but there were still many pedestrians on 51st Street on Lunxian Road. For many fashionable young people, nightlife has just begun at this time of every day.
The intersection of 51st Street and Lunxian Road is a distorted T-junction. In the direction of 51st Street, it is the Daogu Park, which gives people a sense of yin energy. An Rusong's Mercedes-Benz Business Self-service Going south to north, driving from the direction of Lunxian Road, when you reach the intersection, you just happened to encounter a green light.
Luo Minzhi turned and turned the car to 51st Street. Compared to the main road of Lunxian Road, the street on 51st Street is very narrow, and there are more pedestrians on both sides of the road, so the cars can only slow down and cannot speed up.
An Rusong, who was leaning against the seat behind the passenger seat, yawned, feeling a little sour in his eye sockets, and instantly shed tears. He rubbed his nose and looked out the window, and happened to see a motorcycle racing past the side of the car, which had to be at least sixty or seventy miles.
Luo Minzhi's car was driving very steadily, and the sudden outbreak of the motorcycle did not affect him. Mercedes-Benz Business drove forward sixty or seventy meters along the not-so-wide street, then slowly turned right, drove up the sidewalk, and entered a small parking lot.
A sign is erected at the entrance of the parking lot, indicating that the parking lot belongs to a bar called "DriftwoodDraft", and this bar is where An Rusong and Leonard made an appointment to meet.
Because the parking lot is privately owned by the bar, when driving into the parking lot, you have to buy the entrance ticket at the bar at the entrance. While Luo Minzhi was parking to buy tickets, An Rusong called He said hello, then pushed the door and got out of the car.
The "DriftwoodDraft" bar, the name translated to "driftwood draft beer". If nothing unexpected happens, the specialty of this bar is handmade craft beer. Leonard chose this one When we met in the place, it seemed that this guy was a good person and liked to drink beer.
The main entrance of the bar is on the side of the road. An Rusong put his hands in his windbreaker pocket and walked slowly towards the main entrance of the bar. Just as he was about to reach the door, Luo Minzhi was already chasing him quickly.
There are not many bars on 51st Street, only one or two, which are quieter and quieter, and this "DriftwoodDraft" bar is like this.
The purchase ticket was displayed at the entrance of the bar. An Rusong entered the bar surrounded by Luo Minzhi. When the two walked into the main hall, there was a female singer on the small stage of the bar. Sitting on a high bar stool, playing the guitar and singing an English song, An Rusong listened to it, it should be Bob Dylan's "Blowin'intheWind".
I looked around in the main hall of the bar, but I didn't see Leonard's shadow, and I didn't know if the other party hadn't come yet. An Rusong winked at Luo Minzhi, then walked towards the bar.
Just when he was more than ten steps away from the bar, a figure stood up in front of a locker in the corner of the bar and waved to him from a distance.
An Rusong didn't see it at first, until Luo Minzhi reminded him and he looked in the direction of the other person's finger, he saw that the person in front of the locker was Leonard in a suit. Next to him, there were two burly young men, probably his bodyguards or subordinates.
Motion to Luo Minzhi to find a place to sit by himself, An Rusong changed into a smile, waved at Leonard from afar, and then walked over quickly.
"What to drink?" When he approached, Leonard took the initiative to reach out to him, and asked with a smile, "I recommend the 'Black Spire' Empire Dark Beer here, which is very good." br>
An Rusong nodded and turned his gaze to the two young men.
"Oh," Leonard followed his gaze and introduced casually, "This is Poly and Barker, my bodyguard."
Spreading his hands, he said in a helpless tone: "You know, there are always some people who think that the whole world is like the United States. When it gets dark, going out is an unwise choice, so."
"It can be understood," An Rusong smiled and said, "emm, maybe the atmosphere of freedom in South Korea is not as strong as that of the United States."
"Haha," Leonard slapped his arm After taking a photo, he waved to the two young people first and sent them to the booth next to him. Then he said to An Rusong, "Come on, An, let's sit down and talk."
The two of them took their seats next to the booth. Leonard waved to the future waiter and ordered the dark beer he had just mentioned. I ordered some snacks and dried fruits. When I sent the waiter away, I said directly: "An, before entering the topic of tonight, I need to make a statement to you first. I am not deliberately monitoring you. At this point, you can rest assured."
In the previous call, Leonard had revealed something to An Rusong, that is, he already knew about the people between An Rusong and Bill Now, he is obviously explaining to An Rusong how he got the news. "The situation in the NSA is more complicated than what I had imagined before I came to Asia," Leonard handed a cigar to An Rusong. "After taking office, what I am currently dealing with is to clarify all aspects of the problem. , at least, I have to figure out where the $17.9 billion spent by the East Asian affairs agency each year is spent. ”
An Rusong pushed back the cigar he handed over, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and held it in his mouth.
"In the process, I found something very interesting, to be precise, some very interesting intelligence records," Leonard took the cigar back, and then, from the chair next to him. He took a briefcase, took out a file folder, and handed it to An Rusong, "This includes our soldiers who are engaged in drugs."
He stopped here and then lowered his head. Go and fiddle with the cigar in your hand.
An Rusong knew that it was the waiter who had brought the things over. He placed the file folder on the desk in front of him, then took out the lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette.
"Our soldiers are engaged in the drug trade, and the scale is not small," Leonard continued after the waiter put down the dark beer and snacks and left with an empty pallet. He said, "That includes it."
He pointed to the file folder in front of An Rusong, "That's all these people."
An Rusong opened the file folder and looked at the inside with the dim lights in the bar. Content on one page.
On this page, there is a profile of a man named "Pancy Kenneth", and a photo of this man is also posted in the upper right corner. In the entire information, most of the content was wiped out by black paint. I can only see that this guy was born in 1956, a Philadelphia native, and his current military rank is colonel. "This is an unquestionable scandal for the Ministry of Defense," Leonard pushed a glass of beer in front of An Rusong, and then continued while lighting a cigar for himself, "especially It is at this time of sensitivity that I have to give some extra attention to it. "
List what he said. He knows that there are people in the US military stationed in South Korea that are selling drugs, and he also knows that this is a There was a scandal, but I didn't think about bringing those who were selling drugs to justice, but I just gave more attention.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "It happened to be in the process that I found these guys were investigating about you," Leonard said, "I think maybe you're in trouble." br>
An Rusong smiled. He didn't say anything, but closed the file folder in front of him and pushed it back to Leonard. Then he picked up the beer in front of him and signaled to the other party.
He only believed half of what Leonard said, and this half of what he believed was that after the other party took office, he must have integrated the intelligence system he managed, and During this process, drug trafficking in US troops stationed in South Korea was discovered.
As a soldier, Leonard's personality must be relatively strong. After he took office as the head of NSA's East Asian Affairs, he will inevitably integrate the entire system. This is certain, and there is no need to think about it.
People like Bill and Wilder use the US military email system to sell drugs. Things like this may be hidden from those who are South Korea’s locked up, but it is impossible to be completely hidden from the NSA’s intelligence system.
In East Asia, the NSA's key activity area is South Korea, because it is the hot spot where war is most likely to break out in Asia, and it is the so-called "Asian Balkans."
At this time, how could Bill and Wilder hide the actions they did without the NSA's eyes?
So, Leonard said that he had paid attention to drug trafficking in the US military stationed in South Korea. An Rusong believed it, but the other party said that he did not deliberately monitor him, and he would not believe it anyway. of.
But, if you don’t believe it, An Rusong will not reveal his true thoughts in front of the other side. In fact, he also knew that Leonard could think of finding a reason to deceive him. It's already very proud. Even if someone tells him openly and honestly, what can he do if the NSA is monitoring him?
"This is indeed a trouble for me, Leonard," said An Rusong, taking a sip of beer, "In my eyes, all drug traffickers are outlaws, and the problem now is that these The outlaw also has the identity of an American soldier."
