The fat man lifted his hand and took off his black glasses. His eye circles are very swollen, but the light in his eyes is like a ferocious wild boar. I know that I can't underestimate this fat man. Now that I see the fat man's eyes, I think my idea is not bad at all. . As soon as he took off his black glasses, I knew he was going to make a move, so I took a step back.As soon as he stretched out his hand, he had already grabbed the back of a chair in order to respond. However, there was no change in the room. The woman was still sitting by the tape recorder, the gloomy-looking man and the fat man were still sitting, the room was extremely quiet, only the "rustling" sound of the tape recorder, and because they never moved, I didn't know they would There was some movement, which made my mind very nervous.

The silence lasted for a full five minutes before the fat man slowly stretched out his hand towards the tea table.I immediately noticed that there was a button on the coffee table, and before I could wait for the fat man's hand to press it, I shouted sharply: "Don't move!" , while ignoring the other person. Of course, the big man took advantage of this opportunity and pressed another button, because as soon as I said the word "don't move", I felt my body sink!That was the simplest trap, I quickly bent my legs, and with the force of the bend, I jumped up straight up.

However, just as I jumped up, before I could throw out the chair in my hand to vent my anger, suddenly, a black shadow came down with a hood, and before I could figure out what it was, a black shadow appeared on my body. Tight, the whole body has been covered by a big net! That big net fell from the ceiling. The fat man laughed "haha" and said, "This is what we use to deal with agile enemies!" At this time, although my body was caught by the net, my heart was extremely happy!Because this trap, the net that fell from the ceiling, made me know what this place is! Because I have heard a long time ago that there is a very large smuggling group (very unpleasant, the person in charge of this smuggling group is a "celebrity", not a low-level person, "celebrity" is made rich by smuggling), this smuggling In recent years, the group's activities have decreased, but the smuggling of various electrical traps in the group's headquarters is still popular.

I don't pride myself on my skills, but people like me can be caught in the blink of an eye. Of course, it's the headquarters of this smuggling group.And this big smuggler, our "celebrity", was caught by me once at the smuggling scene, and he disappeared under my warning, but I have a box of documents in my possession. As soon as I die, the document will be published, and that will be enough to put him in prison for twenty years! I know that I am here, so I am naturally happy! Because now, although I am in the net, in a short while, I will have the upper hand! At that moment, I sneered, and said: "For someone with agility, the mesh of this net is too big!"

Before they understood what that meant, I had already touched two keys in my hand, and quickly flicked those two keys out of the mesh! What happened in the next few seconds, I still feel very happy when I think about it. Two keys were flicked on the foreheads of the two of them. The fat man jumped up from the chair and reached out to touch the forehead. When he saw that his palm was full of blood, his expression made me laugh out loud. But just as I was laughing, the fat man let out a roar and had already drawn his pistol. The gloomy man was covering the wound on his forehead with a handkerchief. I immediately spoke to him in local language: "Where's Da Zhigu? I want to see him!"

The fat man's pistol was already aimed at me, but as soon as I uttered these words, it was more effective than the seven-character mantra, and the gloomy man immediately shouted: "Don't shoot!" The fat man was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Why?" The man pointed at me and said, "He knows the boss." The "big ancient" in my mouth is the "celebrity" mentioned above. "Dazhigu" was his nickname when he was young, but now, very few people know about it, and I can call it out, which naturally surprises them! He looked at me with a gloomy face, and said, "Do you know the boss?" I said, "Call him immediately and say that you have put Wesley in the net, and see how he reacts."

The look on the man's face was full of surprise, he glanced at the fat man, then waved to the young lady, and the three of them walked out together.In the net, I didn't struggle at all. Instead, I stretched my legs, using the net as a hammock, and lay down leisurely. In less than five minutes, that gloomy man came in with his face covered in dirt and sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't even speak, so he pressed a button on the wall, and the net When he fell down, his hands trembled, and he pulled the net away for me. I said coldly, "How is it?"

The man said: "The boss said that he...will come...here immediately, and apologize to...you." This is what I expected, Da Zhigu may dare to offend the emperor, but he never dares to touch me.The man said again: "My...name is Liu Sen, this is really not my idea." As I stood up, I said, "I've already seen that you are a local, but you still pretend to be a fellow traveler to scare me, it's disgusting!" Liu Sen nodded and bowed, and said repeatedly: "Yes! yes!" I sat down on the sofa in a grand manner, and said, "Wait a minute, the big one is here, what should I say?" The sweat on Liu Sen's face almost formed several streams!

Big Gu is famous for being cruel and cruel, Liu Sen obviously knows it, that's why he was so scared, he didn't even care to wipe off his sweat, suddenly his legs bent, and he knelt down to me! I might as well let him do this, and said: "Get up, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I can blame everything on that fat foreigner without mentioning you." Liu Sendao: "Geneity is reinvented, grace is reinvented!" I said slowly again: "If you are not willing to cooperate, I will..." Before I finished speaking, he said: "Definitely, definitely." ", on the contrary, I have gained a lot!

Liu Sen tremblingly sat down opposite me, his face just started to look a bit human, I asked: "Who is this foreign fat man?" Liu Sen listened carefully, and said softly: "Mr. Wei, I'll come to the house tomorrow and talk to you in detail." I nodded. Since this is the headquarters of the smuggling group, there are naturally all kinds of scientific devices. Liu Sen dare not go into details here, and there may be his reasons. Not long after I waited, the big Gu rushed in angrily. As soon as he came in, he gave Liu Sen two slaps without waiting for me to speak!Liu Sen was slapped twice, looked at me tearfully, and I said, "It's none of his business, it's that fat foreigner!"

Although Dazhigu has become a "celebrity", the value of his shirt would have made him work hard twenty years ago, but money can't wipe out his face. He turned his head, stamped his feet and cursed: "That fat guy, he was a friend of mine... in business. He came this time because he had something important to do. It's best for me to send him an assistant. I agreed to him when he had a little room, but how could he do such a thing! This guy, I heard that he is also the first-rate rich man in Brazil, I don’t know what he is doing here!” As for the detailed identity of the fat man, I can ask Liu Sen tomorrow, but I am just in a hurry to leave, so I waved my hand and said, "Don't talk about it, just go ahead." Da Zhi said: "Brother, you... don't feel strange, do you?" I laughed and said, "I know a well-run middle school that is about to close down due to lack of funds. If you are willing to spend a sum of money to keep it going, then I will not be surprised!" Big Gu hurriedly said: "Definitely, definitely!" I smiled and said, "I will notify the person in charge of that middle school to find you." Dazhi Gu said: "Yes, I will drive away that fat thief!" Liu Sen said: "Boss, Mr. Juedus and his female secretary, as soon as they know that Mr. Wei knows you, he will leave!" Big Gu Lian said: "It's best to go, it's best to go!" He ordered Liu Sen to take me out and left in a hurry. Liu Sen led me out of the secret room and through a long corridor.The corridor was uneven, making people feel like walking on stones, and then walked out through a door.That door, after passing out, is the wilderness. When I look back at the door, the door looks exactly like a stone from the outside. Once the door is closed, I never know that there is such a secret door on the mountain wall. . After I came out, I said, "Send me to Dunsprock Road immediately!" Because I was still eager to find out Robert Young's secret, I still had to go there overnight. Liu Sen agreed, and we walked in the wilderness for about ten minutes before arriving at a car.That car is the one that brought me here from Dunspur Road. I got in the car and felt that it would be inconvenient to move with Liu Sen by my side, so I waved my hand and said, "Go, come to my apartment to see me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, if I'm not here, you can wait .” Liu Sen nodded.At that moment, a melancholy expression appeared on his face, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to me, but then he gave a wry smile and said, "Okay." Although I could see that he had something to say to me but didn't say it, I was puzzled for a while. But at this time, I was in a hurry to get to Dunspur Road, so I didn't pay attention to it. Seeing that he had agreed, I drove the car and galloped forward.When I parked the car at Dunspoon Crossing, I checked my watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning. I got out of the car and went all the way to the door of No. 69, got on the elevator, and within five minutes, I was standing in front of the empty house.I thought in my heart, if I use the lily key to open the door and go in, it will be very easy.But this house, I have already been in once, it is just an empty house. I don't need to check vacancies anymore, I want to meet Robert Young!So I rang the bell. The electric bell rang continuously for seven or eight minutes, but no one answered the door.Is there no one?I am sure not, because when I stood at the door, I saw a faint light leaking from the crack of the door, and I knew that there was someone in this empty house, although that person might not necessarily be Robert Young, but there was always someone there. Someone should answer the door. I continued to ring the doorbell for another five minutes.There was still no response from inside the door. I knew there must be something strange, so I put my ear on the door and listened carefully for a while, but there was no sound inside. My lily key gently opened the door lock and slowly pushed the door open. However, I only pushed it open five or six inches before I heard a "bang" from inside the door, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground! I never expected such a sound to come out suddenly, and for a moment, I couldn't help being startled by it, so I collected myself and looked inward.After looking at it, I stayed for a while.Push the door open, and then close the door. The house is still empty, without furniture. However, on one of the walls, there is a secret door that is half open. Looking through the secret door, there is a large living room inside.The furnishings are very luxurious.In the blink of an eye, my doubts have been completely eliminated. The appearance and disappearance of Robert Young are naturally caused by this secret door.But that secret door leads to No. 71 Dunspout Road.No. 69 and No. 71 were originally separated by a wall! It can be seen from this that the identity of Robert Young must be very mysterious. He lives in No. 71, but he rented No. 69 at the same time, using No. 69 as his mailing address, but If anyone, like me, tried to sneak into No. 69 and scout out his whereabouts, all he could find was an empty house! An old doubt in my mind was cleared. But at the same time, I have a new doubt. Robert Young was by my side as soon as I stepped into the room. He was leaning on the door, but he fell to the ground when I pushed the door open. After he fell to the ground, he didn’t even move. He moved and stared at me with wide, dull eyes. It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's that he can't move at all!Anyone who sees his face can tell that this person is dead! I stayed for a long while, and didn't hear any special movement, but I still couldn't be sure that it was in the two-story house.There is no one else but me.So, I walked to No. 71 through the secret door, spent three minutes searching the three rooms, and after confirming that there was no one there, I returned to Robert Young's side. Robert Young was still wearing that nightgown. Judging from the softness of his body, his death took place within half an hour. I quickly discovered the cause of his death: a patch on the wrist of his right hand , nailed with several spikes, one of which happened to pierce into his vein. That kind of spike is exactly the kind I picked up in front of Zhang Xiaolong's laboratory, handed it to Lao Cai, and then was stolen by others.I carefully pulled out these spikes again.Of course, Rob Young was shot to death with a spike when he opened the door, so his body was pressed against the door. Next, I wanted to find something on Robert Young and in his room, but I found nothing. I don't know who killed Robert Yang, but I can be sure that the person who killed Robert Young has an extremely close relationship with Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance. The clues to Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts from the road of Jiejia and Luo Boyang have been broken, but I am not discouraged, because I still have Liu Sen, who can provide me with more clues. I wanted to quit at this point, but in a second, I changed my mind.I must at least surprise the murderer who killed Robert Young! Therefore, I dragged Rob Young's body into the secret door, closed the secret door carefully, and dragged Rob Young to the kitchen, pressed his face on the gas stove, turned on the gas, and turned it off. After entering the kitchen door, he retreated through the door, got into the car, and returned home. I know that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the murderer sees in the newspaper that Robert Young died in the kitchen, and died of gas poisoning, the murderer will be greatly surprised! Although this may not be of any benefit to me, it is always good to disturb the enemy's mind. When I got home, it was past five o'clock. I had been busy all night, but I still couldn't say I had gained anything.I concentrated on waiting for Liu Sen to arrive, but the next morning, when I saw the news in the morning paper, I couldn't help being stunned. The news of Robert Young's death has not yet been published.However, the news of Liu Sen's death has already been published in the newspaper. Liu Sen's identity is "a senior staff member of XX Company". This "XX Company" is the base camp of the smuggling expert. "The police are watching closely" and so on. I put down the morning paper dejectedly, and another one died! I thought that if Liu Sen and I had gone to Dunspur Road yesterday, then Liu Sen might not have died. I also thought that if I could have found the secret door early last night, then Robert Yang probably won't die either! Naturally, I wouldn't feel guilty about the deaths of Robert Yang and Liu Sen, but just as I had some clues, I fell into a fog and fell into a dark situation again! I put down the newspaper and stayed there for a long time before picking up the newspaper again and reading the news carefully. The records in the newspaper are very vague, but there is one thing that arouses my suspicion, and that is the place where Liu Sen died. Liu Sen died in an alley next to a famous big hotel. The time of his death was half an hour after he broke up with me. After breaking up with me, Liu Sen must have never stopped for a moment, and he had to do it with extremely fast speed. Speed, only then can rush to that place.It can be seen from this that he must have a purpose in going there.Because of Liu Sen's death, there were witnesses, the murderer is at large, and the body has not been moved.From this, it can be known that the murderer knew that Liu Sen would definitely go there. Relying on this, I thought for a while, and suddenly jumped up!That famous big hotel──It is the resting place of international rich tourists. I think of Da Zhigu’s evaluation of the fat Juedus. Juedus has become a rich man. Will he live in that hotel? Woolen cloth?Could it be that Liu Sen rushed to meet him, and because Jue Dushi knew too much about Liu Sen, he killed him to silence him? I jumped up, washed my face hastily, drank a glass of milk, and rushed out the door. However, as soon as I went out, a sports car stopped at the door of my house.A girl wearing a brocade padded jacket got out of the car, it was Zhang Xiaojuan. Zhang Xiaojuan raised her eyebrows when she saw me, and said, "Do you want to go out?" I hurriedly said: "Exactly, you can go with me. As we walked, we said, I already had a clue, but now, the clue has been broken again, and I am trying to continue it." clues!" As I said that, I stepped into the compartment of her sports car. She got into the driver's seat and said, "Where are you going?" I said, "To XX Hotel." Zhang Xiaojuan looked at me strangely, and said, "To What are you doing there?" I said, "I'll talk about it later, it's a long story!" Zhang Xiaojuan didn't ask any more questions, and drove forward, turned the corner of the street, and she said: "I also learned a little bit, I found out the name of the person who died at the door of the laboratory from a friend in the police station. Lawrence Jagar." I already knew this from Fat Juedus.But I didn't want to hurt her self-esteem too much, so I said: "Okay, this is a very important discovery." While driving, Zhang Xiaojuan said, "This man used to lead a slave trading group, and the people in that group called him Captain Jiejia, and because he was rounded up several times, he was safe and sound, so Also known as the Undead Captain Jayga, he is an extremely dangerous criminal who came here under a pseudonym." I hurriedly asked, "What is his purpose for coming here?" Zhang Xiaojuan said: "The police did not find out. But the police believe that he must have another purpose in coming here, so they have not announced his identity for the time being." that's it.Now, once the police stepped in, it was naturally more complicated. At least I knew that Lawrence Jaygar was with Rob Young, but now they're both dead.Does Captain Jayga have a third partner?So far, nothing is known! While I was thinking, the car had come to a stop in front of the hotel, and I told Zhang Xiaojuan to drive the car to the corner and stop, paying attention to the people coming and going, and if I saw a fat man coming out, I would follow him closely , don't let him get away, and don't let him find out. Zhang Xiaojuan nodded in agreement, I believe she will be able to do it. I walked into the hotel, and without much trouble, I saw the hotel guest register (the methods I used, readers can guess for themselves, including paying some money, pretending to be police officers, etc.) , it is not convenient to explain which method I use here). In the guest register, there are five guests who are from South America, but among them, there is not one called "Judus".I used the same method to obtain the registration book again, and found out that Mr. Sammy who lived in the 602 suite was the Judus I was looking for! In this half an hour, I gained a lot.I went out the door and waved to Zhang Xiaojuan, Zhang Xiaojuan walked over, and I said: "Miss Zhang, I have discovered a very dangerous but very important person who lives in Room 603 of this hotel. I'm going to see him now—" I just said this, Zhang Xiaojuan said: "I want to go too." I hurriedly said: "Miss Zhang, this is too inappropriate. This person is a bloodthirsty maniac. It is extremely dangerous to meet him..." Zhang Xiaojuan just repeated four words and said: "I also go." I resolutely said: "No!" Zhang Xiaojuan said coldly: "Why do you control my actions?" I have long known that Zhang Xiaojuan is a very stubborn person, but under such circumstances, I must not give up my opinion. Juedus is a person who has made his fortune by smuggling. This kind of person is a jackal among human beings. Moreover, Juedus came here with a very important mission. Under such circumstances, when Juedushi and I meet, there will undoubtedly be an extremely fierce struggle, and it is not appropriate for a daughter like Zhang Xiaojuan to be in the midst of such a struggle. thing. So, I immediately said unceremoniously: "If I say no, then I won't. If you continue to be stubborn, I will notify your father. I will not do anything about your brother's disappearance!" My words really had an effect, she gave me a hard look, obviously very annoyed in her heart, and said: "Okay, you will never get anything from me again!" I softened my tone and said, "Miss Zhang──" However, I only yelled, and she had already turned around, got on the sports car, turned the accelerator, and the sports car flew by my side like a demonstration! I looked at the passing car and shrugged.The cooperation of Zhang Xiaojuan is of great help to my work. However, I can't send Zhang Xiaojuan into the tiger's mouth in order to find Zhang Xiaolong. She doesn't understand me, so she left in a fit of anger. For me, there is absolutely nothing I can do. I didn't delay for long, so I turned and walked into the hotel. Within five minutes, I was already knocking on the door of Judushi's room.After a while, a rude voice came from inside, speaking in that kind of not-so-fluent English, saying: "Who is it?" That voice made me recognize it was Judushi. I said, "Sir, your letter." Juedus said: "Shove it in through the crack of the door!" I said: "No, Mr. X wants me to hand it over to a Mr. Juedus." The "Mr. X" I said was a big old one. name. A voice talking to himself came from inside the room, not speaking English, saying, "Strange, how does he know I'm here?" While speaking, the door opened. Just as the door opened a crack, I reached out and took out a gun. By the way, I don't like to carry guns. Now, the one I took out is just a poorly made gun. It's just a real toy revolver. I slammed my shoulder against the door hard, there was a "bang" sound, and Judushi roared, I had already entered the door, pointed a gun at him, and closed the door. Juedus immediately recognized me, the fat on his face was shaking constantly, the expression on his face was extremely ugly, he raised his hand helplessly, looked around, and said: "Would you like me?" what?" I smiled coldly and said, "First of all, you need to stand still and not move around." He immediately said, "Then, what do you want?" I said: "It's the same as last night, you asked me, I ask, you answer!" Jue Dushi smiled, his attitude gradually recovered his composure, and said: "You ask, or I ask?" I said coldly: "Mr. Juedus, maybe I think your humor is very funny──" I raised the gun in my hand, and continued: "But it probably won't be funny!" As I said that, I pushed the barrel of the gun against his fat belly, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.Look at the gun in my hand! At that time, I was very proud, thinking that I had frightened Juedus.However, after ten seconds, I knew that it was a great mistake for me to allow him to see the gun in my hand, because he immediately put down his raised hands and burst out laughing! At that time, I was really stunned.Afterwards, I found out that Juedus is an expert in the collection and identification of numerous firearms in the world. His collection is the most abundant in the world. In his collection, there are pistols used by the pirate Morgan, as well as Chinese guns. There are no less than thousands of rifles used by horse thieves, but I want to scare him with a fake gun! At the moment, I still don't understand why he laughed out loud, and shouted sharply, "Hands up!" Juedus pointed at my gun with his fat and short fingers, and said, "Just rely on this kid's thing?" I was stunned for a moment, Jue Dushi stretched out his hand into his bosom, a very delicate revolver was on his finger, and it was spinning quickly, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at me quickly again, and said: "I am real! , now, it's time for you to throw away what you have in your hands?" At this moment, I already knew my tricks, and he exposed me!
