Lost and Spy

Jonathan never doubted his own judgment.

However, after determining the general path to pursue the truth, what is needed is to find the most correct one among countless intricate paths.

Moreover, in addition to their rich experience, keen sense of smell, and flexible brain, agents are, more importantly, extremely patient.

And that's exactly what he did.

If one restaurant doesn't work, then find another one.

Until you find the one you need to find!
In two days, he ate at almost all the restaurants in Manila Port.

But he hasn't gotten what he wants yet.

It's time for lunch again.

However, the restaurant was already full.

Was my judgment really wrong?
Just when Jonathan was a little confused, he saw several American troops jumping out of a jeep.

The American soldiers were laughing and talking as they walked forward.

Dining room!

That's a restaurant!
A restaurant exclusively for American troops!
This restaurant only allows a few locals who are not US troops to enter.

Jonathan followed several American troops slowly.

He listened carefully to the chat of the American troops in front.

As he was about to approach the restaurant, Jonathan quickened his pace: "Hey, Sergeant Doug."

The American troops in front stopped. Sergeant Doug turned around and saw a stranger. He was a little confused: "Who are you?"

"Morrel Teach," Jonathan said with a smile, "It was D-Day."

"Ah ha, yes, Teach." Sergeant Doug also smiled: "Why are you here? Where is your army?"

So many US troops landed on Luzon Island, who still remembers where and when they met?

But since the other party called out his name, he must have known each other for a long time.

"I'm injured, damn Japanese monkey." Jonathan pointed to his hip with some embarrassment: "The damn bullet hit me here."

This immediately caused a burst of laughter from several American troops.

They walked into the restaurant while laughing.

To the U.S. military personnel standing guard at the entrance of the restaurant, Staff Sergeant Doug was an old face.

Although Jonathan was unfamiliar, he was with Sergeant Doug and the others, and he was a white man.

Besides, the restaurant is not an extraordinary establishment, and every entry and exit will be carefully inspected.

Sergeant Doug is obviously very popular here. Many US troops greeted him as soon as he entered the restaurant.

They sat down in their old places.

Sergeant Doug's family is very rich, and he joins the army purely for excitement.

A rich sergeant, so he would often entertain guests.

Today, I met an "old acquaintance" from D-Day, and the generous Staff Sergeant Doug naturally felt that he should have a good meal.

Bono, the person in charge of the restaurant, welcomed Sergeant Doug with all his heart.

"Hey Tikki, do you want anything to eat?"

When Sergeant Doug asked, Jonathan was as polite as an old friend: "Abodo."

Bono immediately smiled: "Sir, the Apodo we have here is the best in Manila."

Yes, I hope so.

Jonathan thought to himself.

Before long, the dishes were served one after another.

Most of them are local Filipino delicacies.

Jonathan chatted happily with them and tasted the food.

Well, it is indeed different from what I ate in those small restaurants before.

The food here is more refined and delicious.

"Hey, Staff Sergeant Doug!"

At this time, a chef personally brought Abodo to serve the food.

"Valen, Valen." Staff Sergeant Doug's smile was so bright: "I really don't want to leave Manila. Otherwise, I will miss these dishes of yours in the United States."

The chef named Warren also smiled and said: "Sergeant, you can buy a house here and find a local girl. When you miss me, ah, no, you miss me, I will give you food myself." You prepare it and send it off. You and your girl can eat my food and look at the sea at the beach, and then you don’t have to wear a single piece of clothing.”

These few words immediately made several American soldiers laugh even more wildly.

"Valen, the best chef in Manila Port." Sergeant Doug introduced enthusiastically: "Tich, the comrade who joined me in landing on Luzon Island to beat up the Japanese monkeys."

Jonathan and Warren nodded politely as hello.

Immediately, Jonathan took a sip of Abodo.

His eyes suddenly straightened.

Delicious, really delicious!
He had tasted too many abodos in the past two days, but he had never tasted such delicious ones.

Top notch cooking skills!
But finding the best abodo in Manila is just the first step.

There is more than one restaurant in Manila that also makes delicious abodo.

No one is crazy enough to think that a cook who knows how to cook Abodo is a spy on the run.

"the best."

Jonathan gave a thumbs up: “This is the best abodo I’ve had in Manila!”

"Thank you." Varun replied with a smile.

"Of course, Warren is the best chef I know!" Staff Sergeant Doug also did not hesitate to praise him.

In fact, at this moment, Jonathan was looking at Warren calmly.

He had seen pictures of "Moroso" in the archives.

The Valen chef in front of him has almost no resemblance to the Moroso in the photo.

In the photo, Moroso has a beard, long hair and wears glasses.

The Warren in front of him was fair-looking and gentle.

Well, at least I had some delicious ado.

Regardless of whether his judgment was correct or not, at least his mouth was very satisfied.

"Okay, sergeant, you guys eat first, I have to go do some work." Warren said hello with a smile and left. "It's really worthwhile for a restaurant to have such a chef." Jonathan asked smoothly: "Has he been here since the restaurant started?"

"Ah, no, no." Sergeant Doug immediately replied: "The chefs before were not that good at their craftsmanship. Since this guy came, the restaurant's business has obviously improved."

"is it?"

Jonathan muttered.

Well, this Varun has not been here for long.

……

There seems to be a problem.

"Valen" returned to the kitchen. On the surface, he still looked as if nothing had happened, but his brain had begun to work rapidly.

The one named "Tiqi" just now has been quietly observing himself.

Yes, although he did it very covertly, he couldn't hide it from himself.

"Valen" Moroso is certain.

He is also an agent and is a senior latent spy with an instinctive sense of danger.

Sergeant Doug had never dined with this guy named Teach before.

Why was he secretly observing me when he came today? Why?
He must be an unfamiliar face.

Moroso remembered almost everyone who had dined at the restaurant, but he just didn't remember Teach.

If the other party is hostile and is looking for his own agent, how did he find it here?

Just like Jonathan, Moroso quickly changed his identity and regarded himself as the pursuer.

I will definitely investigate everything about "Moroso", and of course, I will also know that "Moroso" has good cooking skills.

In particular, he cooked for General MacArthur and received his approval.

In fact, Moroso didn't want to do this at first.

A spy does not need to show some of his strengths.

But there was no way. At that time, Moroso needed MacArthur's closeness too much.

Okay, back to the pursuer.

Now that the specialties of "Moroso" are known, the pursuer may follow this line.

Then, I found this place.

He tasted the delicious dishes he made, will he be connected with "Moroso"?
Damn it, I still overlooked one thing.

The more a person's talents are fully utilized, the more people will pay attention to them.

For example, my reputation as a good cook has spread, which is definitely not a good thing for me who is determined to escape for a long time.

By this time, the busiest period outside had passed, and Bono walked into the kitchen.

Moroso asked casually: "Have Sergeant Doug and the others finished eating?"

"Ah, you've eaten well, and I gave you an extra tip today." Bono replied happily.

"I remember that Sergeant Doug ate Abodo a few days ago, and he ordered it again today." Moroso asked very naturally.

"It was the new face, Mr. Teach," Bono replied casually.

Moroso immediately became nervous again.

Did Tiqi order it?
When I was cooking for MacArthur, it was this abodo that made MacArthur rave about it.

Did Tikki order Abodo when he arrived?
Is this a coincidence, or is this done on purpose?
……

The biggest reward today is tasting the most delicious Apodo so far.

Jonathan looked in the mirror, shaving, and carefully reviewed everything he encountered today in his mind.

He shaved cleanly and while stroking his chin, he suddenly stopped.

Clean shaven?

He immediately found paper and pen.

On paper, he sketched a portrait.

That's Chef Varun.

Jonathan has a strong talent for painting. When he became an agent, this specialty gave him a lot of points.

Then, he added a beard, long hair, and a pair of glasses to the portrait!
He picked up another photo and compared it.

Moroso!
That’s right, Moroso!
This person is Moroso!
Can't blame Jonathan for not recognizing it before.

After all, he had never met Moroso before, only his photo.

With a photo that is not very clear, it is not easy to distinguish a deliberately changed target at a glance!
Today, Moroso appeared in front of him!
It's ok!
At the very least, he has locked Moroso's hiding place!
No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't defeat a good hunter!

Especially, he is such an excellent hunter!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Jonathan's lips.

……

"Oh, you went to the restaurant so soon?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It seems that this Jonathan is quite capable."

"I'm a little curious." Tian Qi couldn't help but ask: "How did you find out that Moroso was hiding in that restaurant?"

"Observe, analyze, and rely on a little bit of luck." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I have read Moroso's information. Since this guy is on the run, he must choose to lurk. I noticed that Moroso Possessing very high cooking skills, he will definitely make use of his expertise in the process of lurking.

People have to live and eat, but a chef will never starve to death.However, I had no interest in Moroso at all at that time, and he had no gold on him, so catching him would do me no good.Of course, it is helpful for you to continue to accumulate credit.

That day, I went to the restaurant to eat and felt that the quality of the dishes immediately improved.I had a treat coming up in a few days, so I decided to meet this chef and see if he could help me cook for a day.At this time, the man named Warren appeared.

When I first saw him, I felt like there was something wrong with this guy.He's too clean for a chef.White face, white hands.A chef who works around the stove all year round cannot be so fair. He does not have the kind of oil fumes accumulated over many years.

I asked casually, and Valen told me that he used to open a restaurant by himself. Later, after the Japanese occupied Manila, his family was destroyed, but he was lucky enough to survive and later found a job here.

Lao Qi, when he told these experiences, I became even more sure that there was something wrong with this person, because I have seen too many people whose families were ruined.There were no signs of torture on Varun's body. His face and hands told me that he had not suffered much.And the most important thing is that there is no sadness in his eyes.If all the relatives around me were killed, no matter how much time passes, you can still see the sadness in my eyes! "

He smiled before continuing: "After I came back, I found a painter and asked him to draw Allen's appearance, and then added a beard, long hair, and glasses to it, and then Moroso appeared. .”

"You already fucking knew where Moroso was hiding, but you just didn't fucking tell me." Tian Qi couldn't help but curse.

"It's not that I won't tell you, but I think he is still useful." Meng Shaoyuan smiled even more happily: "Especially, there is Jonathan who needs to be dealt with, so I think I will keep Moroso for the time being. Look, my judgment is not wrong. , Jonathan is an excellent agent. He tracked the Port of Manila and found Moroso in the shortest time.

Of course, since Moroso was able to successfully lurk for so long, he would definitely smell danger.If my guess is correct, tomorrow, in that restaurant, an excellent chef will disappear inexplicably. "

"You mean, Moroso ran away!" Tian Qi was shocked: "Then you are still sitting here?"

"Why don't you sit here? This has nothing to do with me." Meng Shaoyuan said lazily: "Whoever loves to track will follow. I think our agent Jonathan will definitely find that guy again!"
