Chapter 34: Stormy Storm

"Boss Jiang, this is not like you. Who originally vowed that he would never come forward to testify against Tsavo, but now he wants to join forces with me to bring Tsavo to justice. This change must be too fast." Jiang Yitong

Covering her mouth, her eyes were full of smiles.

"This moment, that moment. You can't say that." Jiang Peng suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face anymore, so he deliberately raised his face and said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore." Jiang Yitong put away her smile and became serious again. She took out a black camera the size of a baby's fist from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Peng.

"This is a miniature camera. You carry it with you and press the shutter button to take pictures. It is solar-powered and does not need to be charged. Afterwards, if you see any evidence, you can record it directly."

"I'm afraid the evidence alone is not enough. What else do we need to do?" Jiang Peng asked.

"Well..." Jiang Yitong pondered for a moment and said, "Are you sure that the things on the Tsavo ship are wildlife products?"

"I'm just guessing, not sure." Jiang Peng thought for a while and continued: "I have been to the warehouse and I didn't see any loading containers."

"You can't judge based on the smell alone. If you hit a snake within seven inches, you will kill it. You can't scare the snake away. It would be great if it is confirmed to be a wild animal product. Through the relationship with our newspaper, we can contact the Coast Guard, and we can even directly contact them tomorrow.

Send coast guard over to search the ship."

"However, if nothing is found, the consequences will be very serious. Tsavo also has a certain reputation in Thai political circles. If nothing is found, he will not only be alert, but will also label it as a malicious search.

More importantly, you are in a very dangerous position." Jiang Yitong analyzed carefully.

"Is there any other way?" Jiang Peng frowned and asked.

"Yes! The second method is more conservative, but the test for you is greater. That is, you go to sea with the ship. Once the ship goes to sea, the goods will definitely be on the ship. Along the way, you are responsible for collecting criminal evidence. We will pass

The Thai Coast Guard should be able to contact the Italian side, and when the ship arrives in Italy, they can come and seize the stolen goods." Jiang Yitong said slowly.

"It's just that this method is dangerous for you. You just said that there are mercenaries in Tsavo. If they are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Peng drank the last sip of tea and let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's use the second method. I'm willing to try it."

"..." Jiang Yitong hesitated. To be honest, the second method has too many variables and is too dangerous. If something happened in the vast sea, Jiang Yitong would not receive any news immediately.

"Well, don't rush to agree. I'm making an appointment with someone from the Coast Guard. Let's meet later and talk about this matter in detail. After all, there are too many things involved. If

Without the support of the police, I do not recommend you to do this kind of undercover work. I am worried about your safety."

Jiang Peng nodded. What Jiang Yitong said makes sense. This is not a movie, so there is no personal heroism. If you are not careful, your life and safety will be affected.

"Let's talk while we walk." Jiang Yitong drank the last sip of coffee, stood up, and kept fiddling with his cell phone, probably trying to contact the mysterious coast guard.

"Okay." Jiang Peng nodded, paid the order, and walked towards the door with Jiang Yitong.

"It's raining. Did you bring an umbrella?" Jiang Peng opened the glass door and said casually.

As soon as he opened the door, a strong wind hit his face. The huge force of the wind blew Jiang Peng back a step, causing his clothes to fly randomly.

tight

What followed was dense raindrops.

"I'll go!" Jiang Peng quickly closed the glass door. In just a few seconds, his clothes became completely wet.

"Why is there such a strong wind and such heavy rain?" Fortunately, Jiang Yitong was behind Jiang Peng and was not caught in the rain.

"What's going on?" Jiang Peng frowned, opened the door slightly, and immediately heard the whistling wind.

The strong wind carrying raindrops fought its way into the coffee house along the crack in the door.

"This rain must be too heavy." Jiang Yitong looked at the swaying branches on the roadside outside the window and said with some worry.

"Let's wait for a while and see if the rain will stop." The waiter kindly came over and handed Jiang Peng a clean towel, and Jiang Peng was wiping himself.

"That's all we can do." The two had no choice but to order some drinks and light meals in the coffee shop and wait quietly for the storm to end.

But after waiting for almost an hour, the rain didn't show any sign of letting up, and it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

"No, we can't wait any longer. Xiaohu is about to get out of school. It's such a heavy storm and I have to pick her up." Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, Jiang Peng couldn't sit still.

"Okay..." Jiang Yitong didn't want to wait any longer.

"The parking lot is not far from here. If you get wet in the rain, you can run there in three minutes." Jiang Peng looked at the jeep parked in the parking lot not far away and marked the distance.

Fortunately, there are umbrellas in the coffee shop, which is more user-friendly.

Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong each pushed open the door and rushed into the rain despite the strong wind.

"Stand behind me." Holding an umbrella, Jiang Peng pulled Jiang Yitong behind him and shouted loudly.

The storm was so violent that in just a few hours, the drainage system in Tochai City was completely paralyzed, and the rainwater had already flooded the people's ankles.

The two of them were still in the most prosperous area of ​​the city center. Jiang Peng roughly estimated that such rainfall would be at least knee deep in Chinatown.

It's afternoon now, but the sky is extremely overcast and there's not a trace of sunshine.

Although Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong had umbrellas, it was of no use in such a violent storm.

After a while, Jiang Peng's clothes were soaked. Jiang Yitong was even worse. She was wearing high heels and walked unsteadily. She was soaked all over. The wet clothes clinging to her body outlined her figure, but Jiang Peng was now

No time to care at all.

"Oops." Jiang Yitong screamed as a strong wind hit him. He lost his balance. The umbrella in his hand was blown away by the strong wind and he was about to fall into the water.

A strong arm wrapped around Jiang Yitong's waist and pulled her into his arms.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Jiang Peng held an umbrella and shouted loudly.

"I tripped on my heel just now. It's okay. Let's go quickly." Jiang Yitong's heart was beating wildly as Jiang Peng held her in his arms.

The woman's reserve made her immediately break away from Jiang Peng's arms.

But Jiang Yitong said he was fine, but he was limping when he walked. It was obvious that he had sprained his foot just now.

"It's too slow, you hold the umbrella." The situation was urgent, and Jiang Yitong's umbrella had been blown to nowhere. Moreover, if he waited for one second longer, he would be showered with another second of heavy rain.

Jiang Peng handed the umbrella to Jiang Yitong, leaned down and hugged her like a princess, holding her in his hands.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Jiang Yitong screamed and quickly grabbed Jiang Peng's neck.

"What are you doing, walking?" Jiang Peng took a deep breath, spread his legs, and headed straight for the jeep.

In less than a minute, Jiang Peng carried Jiang Yitong to the jeep, put Jiang Yitong down, opened the door, let her sit on the passenger seat, and closed the door.

Then I walked to the other side and got in the car.

"Is your foot okay?" Panting slightly, Jiang Peng started the jeep, listening to the sound of dense raindrops, and asked Jiang Yitong.

"It's okay...hiss" Jiang Yitong tried to move his ankle, but screamed in pain.

"He said it was fine." Jiang Peng opened the drawer, rummaged for a while, took out a bottle of safflower oil, and handed it to Jiang Yitong. "Here, rub it yourself, it will feel better."

Jiang Yitong took the safflower oil, said "Oh", and asked with some surprise: "You still have something like this in your car."

Jiang Peng rolled his eyes at her and said: "If you have nothing to do, you have to get on the boat. I ran up and down. I fell a few times, so of course I have to take it with me. Wipe it quickly, otherwise it will swell after a while."

Jiang Peng turned on the heater and immediately put the car into gear.

It was raining heavily, and even if the wipers kept blowing, the visibility was very low.

Jiang Peng is now a little glad that he is driving a jeep. Because from time to time on the surrounding roads, there are cars parked in the road with double flashers. Apparently the chassis is too low and the car is flooded.

Jiang Peng's Jeep has a high chassis, so there are no problems for the time being.

"I'll take you back first." Jiang Peng looked at the bad road conditions and said with a frown.

"No need." Jiang Yitong looked at the time. She knew that Jiang Xiaohu would be out of school soon. Jiang Peng would send her back now, and it would be too late to pick Jiang Xiaohu up.

"Let's pick up Xiao Hu first. She's about to get out of school. It's raining so hard that it's not safe." Jiang Peng glanced at Jiang Yitong and nodded.

"Okay, sit tight." After saying that, he drove towards the school.

It was raining heavily and the road conditions were very bad. Jiang Peng's speed was not very fast. When he arrived at Jiang Xiaohu School, school had already ended for nearly half an hour.

"Xiaohu, hello, where are you? Can you hear me?" Jiang Xiaohu's school is located at a relatively high level and there is not that much water. Jiang Peng called Jiang Xiaohu, but the signal seemed to be affected by the heavy rain.

Very good.

When the call failed, Jiang Peng hung up the phone and looked at the signal of less than two bars on the phone, becoming increasingly irritable.

"Don't worry, the terrain here is relatively high. Why don't you go down and ask where the school is?" Jiang Yitong suggested, looking at Jiang Peng who was restless and dialing the phone.

Jiang Peng thought for a while, instead of just sitting here, he might as well go down and ask.

He nodded and said, "I'll go down and ask. You wait for me in the car."

Jiang Yitong said "Yes".

Jiang Peng picked up the umbrella, opened the car door, braved the wind and rain, and walked towards the campus.

Due to the heavy rain, it got dark very early in Dochai Market today. Coupled with the wind and rain, Jiang Yitong couldn't see clearly what was happening outside the window through the glass.

The sound of dense raindrops hit the jeep. Jiang Peng walked for a long time. Jiang Yitong was a little flustered. He took out his mobile phone and news immediately popped up.

"Typhoon Morakot made landfall in Dochai City in advance, accompanied by a Category 8-9 typhoon and heavy rainfall. Citizens are asked to stay at home as much as possible and not to go out."

"Is the typhoon coming early?" Jiang Yitong frowned, opened the news, and read it carefully.

"Many low-lying areas in Duchai City were flooded. I remember..." Jiang Yitong opened the map and looked up the location of Chinatown, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Too bad, the place where Chinatown is located happens to be a low-lying area." Jiang Yitong looked at the map and found that the location of Chinatown is exactly the low-lying area marked in red.
