Huang Jun and the two big men followed behind us. Huang Jun was obviously very nervous because he kept telling us in a low voice: "Don't move rashly! Don't move rashly!" , into the hands of whom? "grim Reaper"?Impossible, because we just left the "Reaper" room. Is it the Mafia?The possibility is not very high, because the two leaders of the mafia, one is dead and the other is seriously injured, and they are still in the hospital. The mafia is in chaos, and the Italian police are taking this opportunity to deal with it with all their strength. This huge gangster organization, they will not take care of us when they are too busy to take care of themselves.

But what kind of person is that?Why does he want us? Shi Ju and I walked side by side. No one noticed that we were forced by gunpoint. We came to the gate of the hotel. The gatekeeper in uniform called a taxi for us. The five of us got into the car together, but, After driving not far, Huang Jun ordered the car to stop, and another large car stopped beside us just at this moment. We got into that cart again and drove a few miles away. Under the threat of pistols, Shi Ju and I were covered with black cloths over our eyes, so that we could not see the light of day. I just held Shiju's hand tightly, and I just felt that after the car passed a large section of flat road, it continued to drive on a rough road. After a long time, I calculated the distance silently, about sixty It took about a mile or so before the road leveled up again, and then the car had come to a stop and we were led out with the barrels still pointed at our backs.

I only heard a very charming female voice, shouting: "Huang!" At the same time, I heard Huang Jun shouting: "Shi Weiya!" I felt that I had stepped on a very soft grass, and then I heard two The sound of a person running, and the cries of "Huang" and "Shi Weiya" were heard again. Of course, it was Huang Jun and Shi Weiya who were already hugging each other. Then, I heard a voice say: "Mr. Huang, you must not mention this matter to anyone, otherwise, Shi Weiya will still come back here, do you understand?" Huang Jun said again and again: "I understand! I understand!" The voice said again: "You can leave, I hope you two will forget everything about it!"

The sound of footsteps drove away, and then, there was the sound of a car motor, Huang Jun and Shi Weiya went away. Then, I heard that voice talking with the big man holding me in a strange language. I can't even recognize the language, what kind of language it belongs to, I think about the appearance of those two big men, their skin is very dark, but they are not black, they are tall, with wild eyes Look, where are they from?What are they talking about?How are they going to deal with me and Shiju? Many questions swirled in my mind, and my body, pointed at by the barrel, walked forward.

I once tried to tear off the black cloth over my eyes, but before my hand moved two inches, the barrel of the gun was tighter against me, and I had no chance to resist. Black Bu must have been shot before!So I just walked and hoped that Shiju, like me, would not move rashly. We walked up the stone steps, I counted, there were twenty-three steps in total, and I felt that I was already inside the house.I said, "Although I am your prisoner, please remove the black cloth from my eyes!" I got no answer.I had no choice but to keep going, until there was a "bang" behind me, the sound of the door opening, and I realized that the person who detained me had already left. I tried to raise my arm, but there was no response. He took off the black cloth, just in time to see Shi Ju tearing off the black cloth.Shi Ju immediately threw herself into my arms and said, "Brother Wei, where are we?" I said, "How would I know?"It was a study furnished in an antique style. It can be concluded that this place must have been owned by a French nobleman before.There were thick curtains hanging in front of the window, I immediately walked to the window and pulled the curtains, but it was useless, what I saw was black steel, Shiju was already pushing the door, Of course there will be no result.The two of us sat down.On a mahogany table in the middle, there are all kinds of expensive wine, I poured two glasses, Shi Ju's hands were trembling slightly, and said: "Brother Wei, is it the arrangement of 'Reaper' again?"

I shook my head and said, "Probably not." I was sour all around.The books on the bookshelves are all the most remote and specialized books; in one column, they are all studies on the peoples of the African cliff plateau. After about fifteen minutes, we heard coughing, and a voice came from the corner of the room, saying: "The two of you may find it very uncomfortable, but we only need the cooperation of the two of you." I looked up, and the room The horn is equipped with a loudspeaker, of course, he can hear our words.I said coldly: "Who are you?" The voice in the loudspeaker, still without any emotion, said: "Then you don't need to pay attention to it, cooperate with us, or not, please answer!" The man said Yes, it is very pure English, but because it is too pure, it is a bit like a "lingo record", so it can be concluded that he will not be British.I said: "What kind of cooperation, I must understand." The voice said: "About the Rommel treasure, there is a part of it that you have no use for."

I was taken aback suddenly, unable to control myself, I tightly held Shiju's arm beside me. I really never imagined that just to breathe the winter night sea air on the ferry would cause me so much trouble!That voice actually made it very clear that in the legendary Rommel's treasure, a part of the precious metal is "uranium"!All they want is this!Of course, no one would be interested in this radioactive element. That is to say, I have even been involved in the vortex of the international espionage struggle! I know that it is an extremely terrifying vortex, far more terrifying than dealing with the "Grim Reaper" and the Mafia!Gangsters may still have humanity, but among spies or secret agents, trying to find humanity is like trying to pick the moon with a high ladder.Because of their profession, they are not allowed to have humanity at all!

At that time, I stayed for a while, and Fang said: "Sir, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person, because we have only obtained a treasure map so far!" worthless things." I said, "Well, sir, what do you want us for? What can we do?" The voice said, "But you've seen Pete Flack's body." I was taken aback. , I didn't expect that the other party knew so much. I can believe that their tentacles must have reached into the mafia!I said, "Yes, but so what?" The voice laughed a few times, and said, "How about it? Sir, it depends on your cooperation!"

I stood up involuntarily, and said loudly: "Sir! We didn't find anything on Fleck's body, nothing at all." The voice was silent for a while, and then said: "Think about it carefully until When you want to cooperate with us, you can press the red button on the desk. If you need something, you can press the blue button. Good luck." I threw the wine glass to the ground vigorously, and the wine glass burst silently on the carpet. I immediately went to the desk and pressed the red button hard.The man's voice came over the loudspeaker immediately.Said: "Decide so quickly?" I shouted: "Let us out! Otherwise, we will escape!"

The voice said: "You might as well try." I immediately said: "Who are you? Soviet people?" The voice said: "Russian pigs? Haha!" I immediately asked: "Are you Americans?" The voice said again: "Of course it's not an American pig!" I punched the table with a "bang", and said: "Enough, I tell you, you got a wrong information, I can't cooperate with you at all, you are just wasting your time!" The voice said: "Calm down! Think it over, you press the red button!" I took a step back and sat down.The man hates the two leaders of the Eastern and Western blocs, so what country does he belong to?I didn't spend much time thinking about this issue, because I'm not interested in politics. What I have to think about is how to get out of here!Shiju whispered to me: "Why don't we order food and see how they send it?" It was a good idea, I pressed the blue button, and immediately, from another corner of the room, came a message A woman's voice: "Sir, what do you want?" I said: "Two finer meals, and two pistols with silencers!"

The latter sentence, of course, was what I said when I was angry, but after a while, the woman's voice said again: "It takes time to prepare the two big meals, and the gun comes first!" I was surprised and said: " Where is it?" The woman said: "Please look at the door." Shi Ju and I immediately looked at the door, but found nothing. After about half a minute, we heard the woman's voice say: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, you should pay attention to the sheet in the corner of the room." Sofa. Sir, I hope you didn't want a gun to kill yourself." I immediately knew that our attention had been diverted. Looking back, there were already two more pistols on the single sofa, and they were indeed equipped with silencers!Of course, I know that those two pistols will suddenly appear on the sofa, there is no mystery at all.That was of course because there was a hidden door in the high wall, so they pushed the pistols in through the hidden door.What makes me feel strange is that why they really "responsive to every request" and even gave us pistols is really beyond my expectation. With a quick stride, I jumped in front of the sofa, picked up two pistols, and threw one to Shiju.I checked the gun very quickly and found that it was a good gun ready to fire immediately! After I finished checking the gun, I heard two "pats" and "pats". Shi Ju was at the door and shot two shots at the doorknob.I smiled wryly: "It's useless!" Shi Ju grabbed the doorknob and pushed hard twice, sure enough, the door still didn't move. Shi Ju turned around and said, "Brother Wei, I know it's useless, but I have to give it a try!" I nodded and said, "They are confident in giving us pistols without hesitation. I believe this must be a consulate of some country!" Shi Ju sighed, I put the pistol aside and sat down on the sofa.After a while, we heard a very slight "swipe".We hurriedly followed the sound, and suddenly saw the oil painting hanging on the sofa, quickly moved aside, and a three-foot-square hole appeared!When I saw this situation, I quickly jumped up, grabbed a copper paperweight about a foot long on the desk, and swept towards the hole. When I came near the entrance of the cave, a box was hung from the entrance of the cave.At the same time, a woman's voice came from the loudspeaker, saying, "Here comes your lunch!" I took out two large plates of food from the box, the box protruded upwards, and the oil painting moved to the original place.I quickly placed the copper paperweight at the entrance of the cave. The oil painting touched the copper paperweight and was blocked by it, revealing a gap about three feet high and about a foot wide. I immediately looked into the gap with my head. It was dark, and I stretched out my hand to touch the opposite wall.But the up and down are dark and very deep. It is a hole that goes straight up and down, like a small elevator space. In the hole, there are two steel cables that are not very thick. At this time, Shi Ju had already come to the entrance of the cave, and she also looked towards the entrance of the cave. She asked me suspiciously: "Brother Wei, is it possible for us to escape from here?" Somewhere to escape, however, that's the only way out of all of us right now!I took a breath and said, "We must try!" Shi Ju held my arm tightly and said, "Then... isn't that too risky?" I smiled and said: "Ju, we have to take risks. If there is a video camera in this room, all our actions must have been known to them, and there is no way to escape. Now there is no movement, we I believe they still haven't found out." Shi Ju swallowed, and said: "Then let's try it!" I took out an "electric pen" from my bag.It is a very simple electrical tool, as long as you touch an object that is believed to have electricity, if there is electricity, a light will light up. I touched the cable with it, and there was no electricity.This increases the possibility of us fleeing from here, because it obviously didn't occur to them that anyone would think of fleeing from here! I pressed the red button again, and the voice came over immediately, saying, "Mr. Wei, have you thought about it yet?" I replied: "Sir, I need time to think, please don't disturb me within an hour!" The man said: "Yes, but don't try to escape. Just now, according to the report, you fired two shots at the lock. Mr. Wei, this is a very stupid action!" I smiled and said, "You're right, I completely agree!" I said, winking at Shi Ju, signaling her to pick up the pistol.We put away our guns and looked at the small hole again. The hole is only three feet high, one foot wide, and not more than three feet deep. It is not easy for ordinary people to get into such a hole.Moreover, when getting in, you must be extremely careful, because if you touch and drop the copper paperweight that prevents the oil painting from moving, the oil painter will squeeze towards you, and you will be caught at that time.But for us.But it is not difficult. I thought about it again, and said: "Ju, once we grab the copper cable, you climb up and I fall down, then, of the two of us, at least one of us can escape." Unexpectedly, Shi Ju shook his head and said: "No, I'm with you, whether it's up or down, I'm with you." I glanced at her and found that her eyes were so determined, so I just sighed and said, "Alright, we decided to go down." Shi Ju nodded, I took a breath, tiptoe At one o'clock, I got out of the hole, grabbed the steel cable with my right hand, and slid down seven or eight feet. When I looked up, the stone chrysanthemum was already on my head.The cave was extremely dark, and when we slid nearly two feet down the steel cable, there was almost no light at all.Holding our breath, we slid down another two feet before we stepped onto the ground. I took out the lighter, and with a "Kacha" sound, it was lit.Our shelter was roughly five feet square with a rough concrete wall, and it was very damp.In a corner of that place, there is an elevator going up and down, but in all directions, there is no way!I turned off the lighter, and Shi Ju said, "Brother Wei, there is no road here!" I thought for a while, and said, "Then, if the machine breaks down, where will the maintenance workers get in and out?" Shi Ju said happily: "So, there must be a way out here?" I replied: "I believe, we have to look for it carefully!" As I said, I lit the lighter again. The light from the lighter was not very strong, but it was enough to allow us to examine the cellar carefully. After a while, we found a small iron door.The iron door was closed, but it was only two feet high and one foot wide. I handed the lighter to Shi Ju, pulled the latch hard, and opened the small iron door.Shi Ju held the lighter and looked inside, only to see that the iron gate was connected with an iron pipe, and it was impossible to tell where it led.I ordered Shi Ju to turn off the lighter, and the two of us were in the dark.Shiju asked me, "Brother Wei, where do you think that iron pipe leads to and what is it used for?" I'm wondering about this.But I can't come to a conclusion.In such a cellar, an iron pipe can be used for many purposes, it can transport coal, it can take out garbage, and it can also be used for many other unexpected purposes.But now, we must use it for escape. I thought for a moment, and said: "Ju, follow me, I will climb in first, if something happens to me, leave me alone, retreat by yourself, follow the steel cable, climb up, and go back to the room." Middle. Because if you can’t escape even here, it can be said that there is no other place where you can escape!” In the darkness, I couldn't see Shiju, and I couldn't get her answer. As soon as I finished speaking, I fell to the ground, put my elbows on the ground, and crawled through the small iron gate. At the beginning, I could still crawl with my hands, but after about a zhang, the pipe became much narrower, and I could only crawl forward with my elbows on the ground.I felt that Shiju was following me, and I struggled to crawl forward.That terrible iron pipe seems to have no end!I believe that at this time, my body is already filthy, and I have to stop every now and then to wipe off the cobwebs and dust from my eyes before I can continue to crawl forward, crawling in the seemingly endless darkness , I really had this idea: why don't you go back, go back to the comfortable room with good wine, although it is a prison cell, it is much better than being in such an iron pipe!Of course, I did not go back. Although I am now in an iron pipe where the sun is not visible, what is in front of me may be freedom and light! Of course, what is waiting in front of me may also be death, but I have to bet on that! After an unknown amount of time, I lit the lighter of the tractor again and looked at my watch, but it was only half an hour! I took a breath, the air in the iron pipe was of course extremely bad, I gave Shiju a wry smile, Shiju also gave me a wry smile, and I continued to move forward.About ten minutes later, my hand touched the front, I almost cheered, and immediately lit the lighter, and I found that in front of me was an iron door of the same size. I believe the bolt of the iron door can be opened, but just as I reached out and grabbed the iron door, and was about to pull it into my arms, I heard a "ding dong" sound outside the door. There was the sound of knocking, at the same time, the sound of someone talking, and a strange sound like "chicking" and "chicking" when steam was sprayed. "There are people outside! There are people outside!" Shi Ju also warned me in a low voice.I replied: "Prepare the gun." Shiju agreed softly, I desperately grabbed the iron gate, pulled it hard, and with a "slap", the iron bolt was broken by me, and Shiju grabbed it As soon as I sent my feet forward, my whole body rushed forward and stood still immediately.I didn't wait for myself to see the situation around me, and immediately shouted: "Hands up!" Then, I saw the faces of several astonished people, and they all raised their hands.They are all wearing work clothes, and here is a big cellar. In one corner was a pile of coal, and a large steam furnace, with pipes like octopus tentacles leading to it.Of course it is the heating equipment, those three people are workers, their faces are also French faces, I smiled apologetically and said, "Excuse me, what is this place?" Among the three workers One said, "Isn't this the xx consulate?" What I now replace with "xx" is, of course, the name of a country.I have already said that I am not interested in politics, but I am by no means ignorant of world affairs. At that time, when I heard the name of this country, I was really surprised.Because I never imagined that such an unnoticed country would have such a great interest in the raw materials of nuclear weapons!Now I have not written the name of this country, that is my promise to Consul G. I was stunned for a while, and then asked again, until I was sure that this was indeed the xx consulate, and then I said: "I'm very sorry, I have to wrong the three of you!" I waved my hand to Shiju, and Shiju tapped the acupoints of the three workers as quickly as possible. I came to the door, opened the door and walked up the stairs. After a while, we came to the kitchen. At that time, many people were busy in the kitchen, we restrained them again, walked out from the kitchen, detained a guard, and ordered him to take us to the mastermind's room.After a while, Shi Ju and I were already in a gorgeous room.A man sat on the leather chair dumbstruck, I closed the door, walked forward, and said, "Sir, you should celebrate our successful escape!" Before he could answer, I had already lifted the wine bottle on his table, and "Gulu" took a big sip.He laughed dryly, "You're crazy!" I asked, "Are you the consul of country xx?" He nodded with a face like earth, and said, "Yes, my name is G." I sneered and said, "Mr. Consul, your work ability is very poor!" His body was trembling slightly, and I said coldly: "I'm not saying that you did a poor job in imprisoning the enemy. In this regard, we escaped successfully. Even we ourselves believe that it is a miracle. Yours The work is poor because your information is wrong, because we have not obtained anything about the Rommel treasure so far!" He slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to press a red button on the table, But I stopped him immediately and said, "Mr. Consul, you gave me this pistol, and I don't want to shoot you with it!" He sighed and said, "I underestimated you!" I shrugged and said, "I underestimated your country too!" His complexion was even more ugly, he rubbed his hands a few times, and said, "Mr. Wei, I am now in the position of a loser. Asked, but I want to make a request." When he said those few words, his face was pale and his hands trembled, like a person facing a life-and-death crisis, I couldn't help feeling curious, and said: "You might as well tell me !" His expression was always so tense, and he said: "I beg you, don't mention anything here." I simply replied: "Impossible!" His complexion became paler, and he said: "Mr. Wei, I I love my country, I...I can't let my country's secrets be revealed to the world because of my incompetence!" The muscles on his face were distorted with excitement, and I intuitively felt that this country There is hope, because it has such patriotic people!I thought about it for a while and said, "Yes, but I have conditions." He smiled wryly, and said: "Of course, after you leave safely, I can commit suicide immediately!" "Suicide?" I almost cried out, I didn't mean that at all!My conditions are completely different!There was also an extremely strange look on his face, and he said, "Then, what do you want?" I took a step forward and said, "First, Miss Shi and I each need a basin of water for washing our hands and washing hands." face, and a brush to remove the dust from the clothes.” He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, at first he smiled reluctantly, but then.But he smiled very happily. He stood up from the chair and stretched out his hand to me. I also stretched out my hand without hesitation and held him tightly. He said excitedly: "Mr. , made me personally fail, but I believe in you, not only saved me personally, but also helped my country, can we be friends?" I said: "Of course I can, but I have one more condition, which I haven't said!" He smiled and said, "You tell me." I looked at him, and I knew that I had already gained a real friend. His status could give me great convenience in my actions. This was an unexpected surprise of mine. reward.I said: "When I met you for the first time, I didn't understand the language you spoke at all. What was it?" He laughed again and said: "That is the dialect of my hometown. We If you have time in the future, you might as well study it.” I nodded and handed the gun back to him immediately. He put the gun away, put it in a drawer, and took out a wooden box from the drawer, saying: "Inside this box, there are two very exquisite pistols, which can even be said to be works of art. They are given to the two of." I reached out and opened the lid, and there were two ivory pistols resting on the purple velvet padding.The carvings on the ivory handle are so exquisite that it's hard for people to have any associations with things like "guns".I have always disliked carrying guns. Although guns are very important to my life, it is because all guns are so ugly that I cannot imagine being with them all day long. But these two guns were exactly what I wanted. I took them out and saw that the guns were live ammunition. I threw a handle to Shiju and said, "Thank you!" He stretched out his hand to ring the bell, and a servant came in, and he ordered: "Take this gentleman and lady to bathe." Without hesitation, I turned and walked out, Shiju followed me, and said: "Brother Wei, How do you trust him so much? How do you know he has no conspiracy?" I smiled and said, "It's hard to say. To trust a person, sometimes, you have to rely on your intuition." Shi Ju nodded as if understanding. Half an hour later, Shi Ju and I had finished taking a shower, and our clothes had been brushed clean. Consul G is still in his office, meeting with us. I asked him frankly: "You kidnapped Huang Jun's lover, Shi Weiya, and asked him to kidnap us again, but do you think we have already got Rommel's treasure?" An embarrassed smile appeared on his face, However, there was no refusal to discuss the issue. "Yes," he said, "I really think so." I couldn't help being surprised, so I asked again: "You know that the map we have is rubbish, why would you think we found a treasure?" What about it?" He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wei, I have already become best friends with you!" I waved my hand, interrupted him, and said, "Since we are best friends, why do you still call me that?" He smiled happily and said: "Wei, I am extremely happy to be able to make friends with you. I firmly believe that you have obtained the treasure, and it was Huang Jun who told me about it!" I was taken aback, and said, "Is it Huang Jun?" He nodded and said: "It's him." I said: "It's just what he said, so you believe him?" He shook his head and said, "No, he has evidence!" Originally, I had always had a good impression of Huang Jun, but from the moment he brought me and Shi Ju here under threat in the hotel, I already had a complete disregard for his behavior. The valuation was re-evaluated. Therefore, when I heard what Consul G said, I jumped up and said, "Evidence, what evidence?" Consul G looked at me in surprise, walked to a safe, turned the dial, opened the door, and took out a small safe from inside. It took him about five minutes to open the small safe!
