Chapter 118 The Shipyard
"Just leave it to me." Annick motioned to the waitress.
It was still an envelope made of writing paper. I took out the letter and read it softly.
"It's now two o'clock in the afternoon, so take us to the abandoned No. 3 dock at Harvey's Gonia Bay Shipyard."
"Abandoned dock? Xiao An, let's go. I think this should be the last place. Spencer called everyone to leave.
"Miss Waiter, there are four shillings in total here. I put them under the teacup. The extra ones are your tips." Annick counted four one-shilling notes and put them under the teacup.
"Okay, thank you for your generosity."
The waitress came over quickly and took away the tea cup and banknotes.
The two carriages rushed east quickly, and Annick noticed that there seemed to be at least two carriages behind him. Although they were not wearing badges, they could still guess the deployment of the police.
"What's wrong, Xiao An, you look depressed."
"Mr. Spencer, I forgot to ask for the invoice just now. I left in a hurry."
"Just four shillings, be generous." Spencer showed an unusually free and easy attitude when he didn't have to pay out of his own pocket.
The city hall is far away from the shipyard, and it was almost three o'clock when everyone arrived nearby.
When he arrived at the scene, Annick realized why Spencer was so sure that the shipyard was the final location.
The surrounding area was really vast, with only a pile of wood. There was no place for an ambush, and the two horse-drawn carriages accompanying the escorting police car could only park far away.
This is a small shipyard with average efficiency. The sound of clanging rivets and the sound of planks being sawed can be heard in the shipyard.
"What are the police officers doing here?" The man guarding the door poked his head out of the security booth and asked.
"Where is Dock No. 3? We have a confidential mission." A policeman in black jumped down and asked about the route.
"No. 3, someone rented it for a few days a few days ago. Go inside and outside, walk to the seaside breakwater, and search south. The one in the south is the one with three sides facing the land and one side facing the sea." The gatekeeper gave the answer.
answer.
"Okay, you open the door when we go in."
"Creak." The door was opened, and the true contents of the shipyard were revealed. Five or six dhows without sails were buckled on the ground, and some people were painting waterproof paint.
Annick and his group ignored the workers at work and walked straight to the breakwater on the east side.
"The front is Dock No. 3, right?" Not far away is a building extending toward the sea, about three or four stories high, with discarded wood and metal components scattered around.
"Bounce!" Following the sound of a gunshot, a small cloud of smoke and dust rose up from the side of the carriage.
"Don't come close, just let Harvey in." A pleasant female voice came from the second floor window of the dock, holding a rifle in her hand.
"I've brought you people, and I've got the money. Hostages?" Annick said as he took out his briefcase, revealing five bundles of cash inside.
"Wait a minute, second brother, bring that pretty boy up."
After a while, a fat man with blond hair and narrow eyes was led up by a strong man, and then hung in the air outside the window.
"Uh-huh!" The fat man's mouth was stuffed with cotton, his hands and feet were tied, and he was dangling in the air.
"Is this Rory Sol?" Annick could only confirm from the blond hair that this fat man and the handsome young man in the oil painting were the same person.
"If it's true, you can send Harvey in, and we'll let the fat man go as soon as we receive the money." The woman shouted downstairs.
"No, we have to send someone to protect the safety of the hostages. How about this, we send someone without any weapons to follow Harvey in, otherwise the deal will fall through." Annick shouted loudly.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you can do it. You are shouting so fiercely."
Annick was not happy immediately when he heard this. The original plan was for Spencer to take Harvey in, and then Spencer would take care of the situation alone, but now he was trapped.
"Why don't you dare to come up with your own proposals?"
"Come on, wait a moment."
"Boom," Annick took off the pistol and holster and placed it on the ground. Then he took off his leather shoes to show that he didn't have any hidden weapons, and then patted his whole body.
"Okay, come in now."
Four policemen in black opened the door of the special police car. Harvey jumped out and walked to Annick's side with great effort every step of the way.
"Xiao An, this is Harvey's key. If the people inside are really a threat to you, just open Harvey's shackles. If you haven't come out in twenty minutes, I will go in and save you. Don't worry, as long as you have one day.
If your tone is still there, I can save you."
Spencer rarely used it again, and Annick felt taller instantly when he looked at the dead man in front of him who was shorter than himself.
"Did Mr. Spencer's superpower turn out to be healing wounds?"
"No, I'm saying that as long as you are still alive, I can turn you into one of my kin. As long as the vampire's heart is poured with holy water or the person's body is instantly killed by advanced extraordinary skills, it will be difficult for a vampire to die."
Looking at the proud old bastard in front of him who even looked like he was in control, Annick could only sigh. He took the key and walked in with Harvey.
The space inside the dry dock is quite open, except for a second-floor office built in the air in the front half. At the back, a large hole was dug in the ground, which was plastered with cement. A half-built steel hull boat was placed in the dock.
.
"Just stand there and don't move. You give the money to the middleman. If the middleman comes to our side, we will let him go."
A woman with long brown hair, wearing plain glasses and delicate features walked down.
He was wearing a maroon business suit with floral sleeves. If he hadn't held a rifle in his hand, Annick would have even thought that the woman in front of him was a governess.
Following her were two strong men, who looked like twins, in their twenties, with beards on their faces. One of them was holding a fat man in his hand, and he was hesitating.
"Miss Lian Na? We're already here and there's no need for us to act."
"I don't know what you mean. I am indeed the Sol family's maid Lian Na. What does acting mean?" Lian Na was unmoved.
"I said that I have brought everyone to you, so the farce of the kidnapping case can be put to an end." Annick said while picking his nose.
Fatty Fatty or Rory stopped howling when he heard this, and the two Wendell brothers beside him also removed the cloth from his mouth.
"Okay, I like smart people. Come over here, Mr. Harvey. Rory, you are free now."
"Lena, that's what you promised." Rory ran over in no hurry after being untied.
"I'll deliver."
After hearing this, Luo Li slowly stood up.
"So you are really here to rescue Mr. Harvey?" Annick asked curiously.
"No, we are here to kill him." Lian Na's words revealed cold murderous intent.
