Chapter 98 Deceived by Their Trick

After the two arrived at Jiangkou, they stayed in a hotel. Lang Xiaobai didn't rest for a moment and immediately went out to do his business. After a while, he came back with a very happy expression on his face.

"I found it as soon as I searched. There was an old man, who looked like Sean, staying in a hotel called Coral. I also learned that his room was on the third floor. People in the hotel said that he looked tired.

I can’t bear it, I’ve already gone to bed to rest.”

"In that case, let's move there too!"

"No, Sean recognizes you, and you are wearing a prosthetic leg. He will find out soon. It is better for me to move there myself and monitor him. I will call you if there is any important situation."

Lang Xiaobai came to the Coral Hotel and got a room on the first floor.

The next day, just before noon, Lang Xiaobai called.

"This morning, Sean went to the post office first, then went to the Dongjiang River to stay for a while, and then transferred to the train station, where a woman in black clothes met him. The woman's face was covered with a black veil.

I can't see clearly what he looks like. Sean and the woman returned to the hotel together and were having lunch at the moment. Also, they ate in the room on the third floor instead of going to the dining room, presumably to prevent others from noticing.

That’s all for now, I’ll contact you later.”

At about four o'clock, Lang Xiaobai called again: "There is a Yuelai Teahouse on the street by the Dongjiang River. You should rush there immediately."

The captain hung up the phone and went immediately. When he rushed to the designated teahouse, he found that Lang Xiaobai was already waiting there, and the two of them immediately went to the river bank.

"Look, over there..."

The captain looked in the direction Lang Xiaobai was pointing and saw that it was Sean standing there. As usual, he was wearing glasses with yellow lenses and a red scarf wrapped around half of his face.

He was pacing back and forth near the pier on the river bank.

"He seemed to be looking towards the river constantly."

"On the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant, but he was actually waiting for the upcoming motor-sailboat "Heilin"... Well, a woman came. It's her, she is the woman I mentioned on the phone.

"

Lang Xiaobai whispered to the captain. The two of them quickly hid in a dark place to observe.

The woman was still wearing black clothes and a black veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. She was tall and strong, with a wide bust. She came to Sean and handed him a piece of paper.

"It's a telegram!" Lang Xiaobai said.

"Perhaps he went to the post office just to check if there was any telegram?"

While talking to the woman, Sean looked towards the river, obviously waiting for the boat to arrive. But the boat was nowhere to be seen, and the two began to pace slowly. Sean wrote something on the paper and handed it to Black

The woman in black clothes hurried back towards the market. Sean stayed on the river bank and started pacing back and forth again.

"What did he write on the piece of paper he gave to the woman? Should we catch up and snatch the note from the woman's hand?"

"No, no, that will alarm them, which will be detrimental to us. I have my own way. Now I will leave for a while and come back soon. You stay here and don't move until I come back. You need to pay more attention to the upper reaches, Motor Boat Heilin

The call will definitely come, don’t let it get away!”

The captain waited here motionless for a long time. Many ships came and went on the river, but the "Black Forest" never showed up. This time should have arrived long ago, and the captain couldn't help but secretly worry. At this time, there was a sound coming from the river.

Hearing the sound of "Bang Bang!", he stretched out his head to take a look, and saw a motorboat sailing upstream.

"Ah! It's the Black Forest!"

The captain's heart tightened and he was stunned for a moment. The ship slid across the water at a very fast speed, stirring up a white wave. Two men were sitting on the deck, smoking pipes, looking leisurely and contented. Although they did not see the ship

There is no cargo, but the draft of the ship is very deep.

"The gold is small and can be hidden in the cabin of the ship. However, due to the heavy weight of the gold, a large part of the ship was pressed and sank into the water." The captain determined that it was absolutely correct. The gold must be hidden in the ship. He couldn't help but feel

It started beating violently. The boat sailed straight and stopped in front of him. The two men untied the sampan tied to the stern, jumped on it, and then rowed towards the shore.

Sean looked around for a few times before jumping onto the boat. He lay down on the bottom of the boat, and two men immediately covered him with a canvas to prevent others from seeing him, and then they rocked the sampan back.

"No! This old guy Sean is going to escape on this boat! Why hasn't Lang Xiaobai come back?" Seeing Sean arrive on the motor boat on the sampan, the boat immediately sailed downstream quickly, in the blink of an eye.

After a while, he turned a corner downstream and was no longer visible. The captain was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Oops, Sean ran away and all the gold nuggets were transported away. Damn it, where did Lang Xiaobai go?"

The captain waited anxiously. After almost an hour, Lang Xiaobai finally came back.

"Is there a boat coming?"

"We're here, Sean escaped by boat!"

"It's just as I expected...Okay, it's up to us to catch up with him from now on!"

"Follow me by boat?"

"No, take the bus along the river bank to the lower reaches and report to the security bureau on the way.

The two of them went back to the hotel first, paid the hotel bill, and then drove quickly downstream. The road was built on the cliff by the river. It is very dangerous to drive fast on such a dangerous road, but wait and see.

Theirs will be a more difficult and dangerous task.

The car passed through the town at lightning speed, and soon it stopped in front of a small shop.

"If I'm not back by twelve o'clock tonight, there's no need to wait any longer and just drive back to Dongzhou." Lang Xiaobai ordered the driver. Then he and the captain walked along the path to the bottom of the river bank.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the river. They saw a sampan tied to the river and a building nearby that looked like a villa. It was about six o'clock in the evening.

There was a sunset glow in the sky.

"The motorboat won't arrive here until about nine o'clock, so we'll wait for it here. Before it comes, we can have a good sleep." Lang Xiaobai jumped onto the boat, fell asleep, and fell asleep soon.

He was always good at using his time. When he had some free time, he would take a nap right away. He believed that this was the best way to recharge his energy. In this way, if something happened, he could stay up for three or four days and nights.

.

The moonlight shone on his face, and he slept very peacefully. The captain looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly felt a little confused. Why could this mysterious man clearly understand so many secrets? Also, he clearly knew those three

Why should we deliberately avoid the answer to the question?

Time passed quickly, and the cool evening breeze blew gently across the water, and a silver-white moon shadow rippled on the water. At the front of the sampan, the captain squatted, staring intently upstream, and looked at his watch from time to time.

At nine o'clock, the sound of motorboats came from afar.

The Black Forest is coming!

Under the moonlight, the shadow of a ship slowly appeared on the silvery river. The captain turned around and was about to wake up Lang Xiaobai, but saw that he had slowly sat up and was staring at

That boat.

Lang Xiaobai drove up on the sampan to meet him. He was very skilled and even going upstream in the turbulent current was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the "Heilin" was already in front of him. At this time,

But his hand on the oar suddenly stopped, and he shouted in a low voice: "No, I've been fooled!" and rowed the boat back to the shore.

"What happened?"

"I was deceived by their tricks!"

"Oh? Why?"

Lang Xiaobai didn't answer, jumped to the shore, and then asked a question without thinking: "Excuse me, Captain, the "Autobiography of Franklin" I found in Sean's room, there used to be this
