Randy Blake was kind of addicted to cigars lately . After lunch every day, Blake would get himself a cup of coffee, light a cigar, and sit quietly in the lounge, enjoying a moment of leisure .
Blake, after all, was the training center's Number Two, so few people would disturb him except Dai Li .
Dai Li came into the lounge, holding an extrlarge tea cup with Chinese big-leaf tea in it . Dai Li had developed this habit in the Chinese domestic training team, where many coaches got a large tea cup with a handful of big tea leaves and enjoyed it the whole afternoon .
"Hi Dai Li, I heard you saw Derrickson . What did he want?" Blake puffed at his cigar and went on, "That guy didn't say what he wanted, just that he wanted to see you . I don't think he just came here to promote products, right?"
"He didn't come here to promote products, but to give me money . Really generous . He put a seven-digit check in front of me," said Dai Li with a smile .
"Did he come for training? A seven-digit check? Our training fee is not cheap, but it's not that expensive! What position does a pharmaceutical representative have within the company, exactly? Is he from a super-rich family?" Blake asked several questions in succession .
"He wasn't here for training . He wasn't some rich guy . He came here to buy something," said Dai Li .
"What can we sell him? The most advanced training equipment here is not worth that kind of money . Maybe he wants to buy the whole stadium? That's what real estate agents do . But this guy is just the pharmaceutical company's representative," Blake said with curiosity .
Dai Li put down his large tea cup and said unwillingly, "He wants to buy a drug . "
"Drug? We don't have anything like that . I guess Derrickson must have something wrong with his mind," said Blake .
"He firmly believes that we have a new drug . " Dai Li shrugged his shoulders . "I explained to him many times that we have never used illicit drugs here, but he just didn't believe me . At last, I really had no more to explain to him, so I sent him away . He seemed to be indignant when he went out . "
"This guy isn't a journalist, pretending to be someone else and trying to trick you into something, is he?" Blake sat up straight and looked serious . He continued to say, "You didn't say any words that might be used against you, right? If he was indeed a journalist, he probably taped your conversation secretly . "
Dai Li recalled the details of their conversation, then shook his head . "I don't think there should be any problem . My response was not perfect, but I didn't say anything against myself . "
"That's good . " Blake gave a heavy sigh . "To be honest, I would also have suspected you of doping the athletes if I hadn't seen you train them with my own eyes . "
"Is it because of Aylwin's successful comeback?" asked Dai Li .
"Aylwin is just one of them . All three of them, along with Alexander and Ford, are back to their peak performance . And a little while ago, after being trained by you, Kevin Taylor even performed better than when he was young," answered Blake .
"Taylor was different . Coach Ayres also did a lot," Dai Li said modestly .
"Ayres was only be responsible for technical guidance and developing tactics, but you took care of the physical training . " Blake took a heavy puff on his cigar and went on . "However, it also reminds me that we should be careful in case other people try to do something bad for us . I'll tell the security company later to install more surveillance cameras in our training center . "
. . .
Blecher entered his company with a black suitcase .
His secretary said at once, "Boss, a Mr . Leon said he had an appointment with you and now is waiting for you in the reception room . "
"Yes, I did . I'll head there right now . " Blecher walked towards the reception room, but he turned back halfway and said to the secretary, "From now on, n.o.body can enter my reception room without my permission . "
"Yes, boss . " The secretary suddenly thought of something and asked with his voice lowered, "Boss, one more thing . What about the man we caught last night?"
"Didn't you lock him up?" Blecher frowned and asked .
"Yes, in the storeroom, but we can't keep him in that way all the time! Should we turn him over to the police?" asked the secretary .
"If we needed to do so, we would have done it last night . Why it would have to wait until now? When we caught him, we didn't send him to the police but locked him up privately . That's false imprisonment . Therefore, we can't turn him over to the police," said Blecher coldly . "Just wait . I'll tell you what to do later . "
"If we needed to do so, we would have done it last night . Why it would have to wait until now? When we caught him, we didn't send him to the police but locked him up privately . That's false imprisonment . Therefore, we can't turn him over to the police," said Blecher coldly . "Just wait . I'll tell you what to do later . "
With these words he entered the reception room with the black suitcase .
On the sofa in the reception room sat a man with black hair, who looked very fierce . The long scar on his face made everyone look away from him .
"Long time no see, Leon," Blecher greeted him .
Leon didn't make any kind of response but asked directly, "Have you got the money?"
"It's all here . Count it . " Blecher placed the black suitcase in front of Leon and opened it . Inside were piles of cash .
Seeing the stacks of bills in it, Leon's eyes were burning . He took out an ultraviolet fluorescence detector and began to test the authenticity of the money .
"Don't worry . It's all real . By the way, the fact that you never accept check or transfer of account is really inconvenient for me . I need to make an appointment at the bank in advance to get cash, and then I need to walk around with so much money," Blecher complained .
As he counted the money, Leon said, "Since we are doing dirty work, receiving cash is the safest thing . If the money went into a bank account, the police might watch us . We don't want to be caught by the police . "
"Without bank account transactions, you don't even need to pay taxes . I really envy you," said Blecher with a smile .
"The money is good . " Leon closed the suitcase and continued, "I've found an interrogation expert for you . He is a Colombian illegal immigrant and worked for a Colombian drug trafficker before . He knows not only techniques of interrogation, but also skills in torture . My men are ready now . When do you want to begin?"
"The sooner the better," said Blecher .
"Well, I'll go back now and tell my men what to do . " Leon picked up the suitcase and stood up to leave .
"Wait a moment!" Blecher stopped Leon and continued, "It's not because I don't trust you, but I want to see if the interrogator is really worthy of his name . I want to test him first . "
"Wait a moment!" Blecher stopped Leon and continued, "It's not because I don't trust you, but I want to see if the interrogator is really worthy of his name . I want to test him first . "
"How?" asked Leon .
"Last night, I caught a guy sneaking into the lab . He isn't an ordinary thief, because he was sneaking into our computer control room, where there were many core secrets . Therefore, I concluded that he was a commercial spy who was dedicated to stealing business intelligence . I didn't send him to the police, because if I did so, he would be released on bail soon, at best for trespa.s.sing or theft . "
Blecher continued, "but I want to know who sent him here and what he wanted from me . Thus, I'm going to hand this man over to you and the interrogator . I think he can help me find the answer, right?"
"No problem . Give me the spy, and you'll know the answer soon . I'll do it for you free of charge," Leon said with a confident expression .
. . .
Ding dong! The doorbell rang .
"Who is it? It's so late . " Dai Li went to the door, and through the screen of the intercom, he saw two strange policemen outside .
Dai Li opened the door and asked, "Officers, what can I do for you?"
"Someone reported that you had hidden illegal immigrants here," one of the police said .
"Hiding illegal immigrants? Definitely not . This must be a false accusation . " Dai Li shook his head . "Sir, I think you know, the people who live in this block are all people with high social status . The security around here has always been very good . It is impossible for illegal immigrants to come here . "
"But if someone reports, we have to do something . We need to get in and check," said another policeman coldly .
"Alright . " Dai Li couldn't help but nod and make way for them . "Please come in . "
The two policemen entered the house, and when Dai Li closed the door, he found that there was only a black van outside, with no police car in sight .
Dai Li became suspicious immediately . The police were supposed to drive their car on duty, and they would be seen from a distance with the flas.h.i.+ng lights .

"How did you get here without a police car?" said Dai Li as he turned back .
Suddenly a series of splutters rang out .
Then one of the police took the taser in his hand and rushed to Dai Li and reached it directly to his neck .
The blue light of the electric shock device flashed across Dai Li's eyes, and the next second, Dai Li felt a sudden pain on his neck and then a sense of paralysis spreading over his body .
Oh, no . They are not cops! The moment when Dai Li thought of this, he lost consciousness .
The two men dressed as policemen stepped forward to grab Dai Li immediately and carry him out of the house . The black van drove over to them and its door was quickly opened .
The two policemen threw Dai Li into the van, and then jumped in themselves . The van quickly drove away . . .
. . .
Leon dialed Blecher's number .
"Mr . Blecher, we succeeded in catching him . It went well and n.o.body noticed, including the police, but he isn't awake yet . And the man you asked me to interrogate has confessed," said Leon .
"It's not safe to talk about this on the phone . I'll go to your place now . " Blecher put down his cell phone and clenched his fists in excitement .
The new drug! I'll get it soon!
