Underground man 倪匡 8435Words 2018-03-22
For a while, I couldn't figure out what his word "good" meant, and whether he had believed my words. At the same time, I was also very confused about the disappearance of the twenty-one steel plates. At that time, the indoor lights went out, and the situation was extremely chaotic. I was too late to escape, so how could I care about the twenty-one steel plates on the table?But even if someone wants to covet those twenty-one steel plates, it is not an easy task, because even if the situation is chaotic, if the twenty-one steel plates are picked up at the same time, there will be a "clink" sound, and the room is full of people with strange materials and abilities , it is impossible not to notice.

The fact today is that the twenty-one steel plates have disappeared, and of course they fell into the hands of one person. Although Yu Treasurer's design was extremely sophisticated, and it would be difficult to find where the money was buried without one steel plate, there are With twenty-one steel plates in hand, the boss has grasped a huge clue.In other words, this wealth belonging to the seven gangs and eighteen associations, with tens of thousands of brothers, may fall into the hands of a traitor! As I was thinking, Song Jian had already reached out and opened the door, and he and I walked in together.

Boss Bai rested his head in his hands without raising his head, and said, "You've seen her!" I puffed out my chest.Said: "I have seen it." Bai Lao Dao: "After you left, we have already discussed, including me, there are seven people who are willing to protect you from trouble, so that you can leave here safely." Song Jian said loudly: "Boss Bai, there are eight people including me!" Boss Bai nodded and said, "Okay, but friend Wei, hand over the twenty-one steel plates!" I responded, "Bai Boss, I didn't take those twenty-one steel plates!" Only one person shouted: "Bai Boss, I said he couldn't escape, so he put on an air. But he is so cunning, how can he let him go?"

I looked at the man and said, "What's your name?" The man hummed, and said: "If you don't change your name when you're going, if you don't change your surname when you sit down, Tie Liang will be the master, Liu Agen!" The "Iron Liang Society" is an association organized by blacksmith brothers in two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Nothing deviant.He wanted to put me to death, of course he was bribed by Bai Qiwei.I immediately said: "It turned out to be Brother Liu. According to Brother Liu, I must have taken the twenty-one steel plates?" Liu Agen said loudly, "Of course!"

I sneered, and said: "Miss Bai and I have never agreed in advance. As soon as the light is turned off, Miss Bai imitates my voice and speaks in the corner of the room. Thinking about getting the steel plate again, like me, I’m already only thinking of running for my life!” Liu Agen sneered, and said, “Damn it, what are you doing on my head? You didn’t take it, here are all the brothers from the seven gangs and eighteen associations , who else will take it?" As soon as Liu Agen's words came out, seven or eight people immediately echoed, saying, "That's right, who are you?"

I said again: "If I am interested in wealth, why not take out the steel plate at that time, and divide this share, which is enough for me. Why do I still disapprove of dividing this wealth and expose my flaws?" When I said these few words, those people were all dumbfounded. But at this moment, only three sneers of "hehehe" were heard, and one person stood up. I looked at that man, and couldn't help being startled. I saw that man with a deer-headed mouse eye and a cunning look on his face.Wearing a morning shirt, but buttoned a rough black watch, said: "Wesley, you want to own it!"

It's hard for me to imagine that among the seven gangs and eighteen associations, there will be such a person who will act as the leader, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?" The man said: "Don't dare, the leader of the Golden Rooster Gang, Shi Kantian." I hummed and said, "Nonsense, who doesn't know that the leader of the Golden Rooster Gang is Zhenjiang Jiang Songtai, where did you come from?" Shi Kantian sneered: "Am I also a fake? Jiang Dalong has been the leader for three years The predecessor passed away, and passed on the position of the great dragon head to my subordinates!"

I sighed and kept silent. Shi Wangtian said: "Friend Wei, Boss Bai has treated you with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. As long as you hand over the twenty-one steel plates, you can leave. The choice between life and death is up to you. If you must choose death, then , is your own decision, and no one will force you to do so!" What Shi Kantian said was extremely wet, light and delicate, and within a few words, he had already insisted that I took the twenty-one steel plates!I stared at him and said coldly, "Did you cash that check for 200,000 yuan? Huh?" Shi Kantian's expression suddenly changed.

There were still a few people, and their expressions changed slightly. I immediately said: "Boss Bai, when your son still regarded me as Qin Zhengqi, he gave me a check of 200,000 yuan and asked me to listen to him. There must be quite a few, if Boss Bai doesn't believe it, you can search it!" As I said this, I paid attention to everyone's expressions, and I saw that there were about eleven or two people, and their expressions changed drastically. Boss Bai's complexion was also extremely ugly, but he immediately scolded: "This is a matter of the seven gangs and eighteen associations, don't worry about it!"

I smiled and said, "Of course I won't take too much care, but I believe that after the death of the 'Reaper' Tang Tianxiang, your son will definitely stand up for him and become the head of a drug trafficking and smuggling group. His ambition is indeed not small!" Boss Bai sneered and said: "Although the little dog is not talented, it is not as unbearable as your Excellency said." I know that it is very difficult and almost impossible for a heroic father to believe that his son is a very despicable person. , Qin Zhengqi's piece, here I am, Boss Bai, I'll give it to you on behalf of Brother Qin!" I took out the steel plate and put it beside Boss Bai.

Bai Lao Dao: "Brother Wei, if you didn't take those twenty-one steel plates, who else?" I immediately said, "Maybe it's your son!" Immediately detained by me, there are twenty-one steel plates hidden in my body, how can I not know? Many people here have searched each other to show their hearts. Who else is there besides you? ? If you refuse to hand it over, it would be a pity!" The hall was very silent.I stood among the crowd, thinking desperately in my heart. After four or five minutes, I said: "Boss Bai, since this is the case, then judging from this, the twenty-one steel plates are probably still in the conference room!" Boss Bai sneered and said, "Look for it!" !” I strode towards the door of the conference room, and everyone followed behind me. Although I have exposed many of Bai Qiwei's scandals, even those who agreed to let me go from here thought that I took the twenty-one steel plates. If I want to escape, I must find these twenty-one steel plates.I have no doubts in my heart that the steel plates are the hands and feet of Bai Qiwei.But at that time, as soon as I entered the elevator, I heard the sound of someone chasing me out. It can be seen that the chaos in the conference room recovered very quickly. And it is most likely that Bai Qiwei would not be able to transport the twenty-one steel plates to a distant place in such a short period of time. I can even predict that among his accomplices, there is absolutely no one who dares to transport the twenty-one steel plates. , people who are hiding around, then the steel plate may still be in the meeting room. I took the lead, walked into the meeting room, and came to the round table with a stride. The crowd surrounded me, I bent down to examine the tabletop carefully, then bent down again, and looked up at the opposite side of the tabletop. I remembered that there was a set of magic tricks that could make things on the table disappear, because there were organs on the table. Bai Qiwei might have expected that everyone would put the steel plates towards the center of the table, and they could make a mechanism in the center of the table. I believe that if Bai Su didn't suddenly turn off the light in order to save me, twenty-five steel plates would be placed together. When concentrated in the center of the tabletop, the electric light may also mysteriously go out for a minute or half a minute, and when the light comes back on, the steel plate will disappear. However, I checked the results of the desktop carefully, but found nothing. Everyone looked at me coldly.Shi Kantian said: "Friend Wei, let's stop acting!" I immediately said: "Bai Boss, if you don't let me look for it, I will stop!" Bai Lao said: "Keep looking!" I took two steps back and looked at the table carefully. After about five minutes, I searched the chairs one by one carefully, but there was nothing unusual.I was secretly anxious.After staying there for a while, it suddenly occurred to me that when the twenty-one steel plates disappeared, no one heard a sound. What is the reason? Because of the time, the chaotic situation in the room, and the darkness, it was absolutely impossible for the person who picked up the steel plates to carefully pick them up one by one without making a sound. Even if an extremely thick blanket is used to wrap the twenty-one steel plates, it is impossible not to make a sound. I thought about it for a while, and then I couldn't figure it out, and then said, "Boss Bai, have you ever thought that when those twenty-one steel plates suddenly disappeared, there was no sound at all?" Bai Lao Dao: "I thought about it, I was just about to ask you, what method did you use!" I smiled wryly, and said: "When we find the twenty-one steel plates, we will know!" Bai Lao said: "You might as well look for it slowly, we will definitely accompany you." I was in the conference room, up and down, searching for half an hour, but to no avail. I couldn't help sweating on my forehead, stood still, and closed my eyes.The disappearance of the steel plate was not caused by Bai Qiwei himself, or by his henchmen, but even if his henchmen did it, they must get Bai Qiwei's orders. How did Bai Qiwei issue the order? I assume that Bai Qiwei originally had a plan to seize twenty-five steel plates, so the most suitable place to give orders is of course where he is standing. Bai Qiwei was standing behind and to the left of Boss Bai. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately jumped forward and jumped to Boss Bai's seat.Boss Bai said coldly: "This is my seat!" Boss Bai's seat is slightly different from the other twenty-four seats, which is why the rest of the people respect him very much. Just now, when I checked each chair one by one, I didn't pay much attention because it was Boss Bai's seat. I said: "Yes, I have a hypothesis that needs to be verified on this chair." Bai Lao said: "Please go ahead." I squatted down to check the left side of the chair. It was a mahogany chair with round arms. There was a marble landscape painting inlaid on the backrest. I checked it with the utmost care, but found nothing. When I was about to give up, I thought to myself, if I don’t do it, I won’t stop.Gemini raised the chair and threw it heavily to the ground!Before the rest of the people could stop me from doing this, the chair had been thrown to pieces by me!Boss Bai said in a deep voice, "What does this mean?" Before I had time to answer, I had already let out a cheer! Because I found that there was a metallic light on a section of mahogany that was about an inch long, I quickly picked up this section, just that section, the color of the outside, and this mahogany chair.They are exactly the same, absolutely indistinguishable. However, that part is hollow, with a few semiconductors, a few coils, and a few pieces of copper inside.I handed that thing to Boss Bai, and said, "Boss Bai, I don't have enough knowledge about radios, so what's the use of asking this thing?" Boss Bai also showed doubts on his face. He took the thing over, glanced at it, and said, "This is the simplest semiconductor device. If you touch it with a metal object, you can see it in a certain place." place, if there is a receiving device, it will respond." Shi Wangtian said: "Boss Bai, ask him where the twenty-one steel plates are!" I sneered and said, "Why are you so anxious? Boss Bai, do you have a way to find out where the receiving device is?" Boss Bai nodded and said, "Yes." I am even more happy.Said: "Then please give it a try, where is the receiving device installed?" Boss Bai nodded and said, "Brother Song, go and ask Brother Du to come and see me with a radio wave short-distance interrogator!" Song Jian agreed and walked out. Walked in with a tall and thin man, that man was "Spirit Summoning Expert" Du Zhong.He held a square box in his hand. On the top of the box, there is a fan-shaped watch with a pointer on it, which is similar to the "universal meter" necessary for ordinary electricians. There are also scales on the watch, indicating the numbers. Under the fan-shaped watch, there is another round table.There is a pointer, like a compass. As soon as Du Zhong came in, he walked towards Boss Bai, and said, "Boss Bai, what's the matter..." He just said this, and he saw the thing in Boss Bai's hand at a glance!His face suddenly changed color, and he couldn't even say the word "thing" below! What kind of person is Boss Bai? He immediately sensed that Du Zhong's expression was different, and immediately said: "What's wrong with you?" Du Zhong said: "No... what, the side questioning device has been brought!" Bai Lao Dao: "How's the sensitivity?" Du Zhong said: "Very...very good!" Although he tried his best to calm down, his voice was trembling slightly! Bai Lao Dao said: "Okay, you go!" Du Zhong immediately turned around and walked out as if he was granted amnesty, but he couldn't walk a few steps, Bai Lao Da said again: "Come back!" Du Zhong stopped, turned around, his complexion turned pale! Boss Bai said slowly: "Don't go, someone installed a semiconductor transmitter in this room, do you know?" Du Zhong hurriedly said: "I... I don't know!" Bai Lao Dao: "Then don't go, let's take a look together. Where is the place where the signal is received!" Eucommia is like a prisoner on death row.It's just a response, and I can't say a word. Boss Bai touched the cylindrical semiconductor device a few times with the piece of steel I just handed to him, but the hands of the two watches on the sideways vibrator were all vibrating.Boss Bai fixed the steel sheet on the semiconductor device, and the pointer on the direction finder was fixed. When everyone looked at it together, they saw that on the crescent-shaped watch, the pointer pointed to the number "eighteen", and on the round watch, the pointer pointed to the northeast, which was the direction of the door. Boss Bai's complexion sank immediately, and with a "hum", he said, "Okay, it's only eighteen meters away from here!" He let go of the steel plate, the pointer returned to its original position, and put the steel plate back on , the pointer is still the same as before.He raised his head and said, "The place where the signal is received is in the northeast direction, only eighteen meters away from here." I nodded.Said: "Let's go and see, what is that?" Bai Lao said: "Of course, Brother Song, you come with us, and the rest are here to meet you." Du Zhong said: "Bai Maoda, I... How is it?" Boss Bai said sharply, "You also come with us!" Du Zhong nodded with a pale face, and the four of us walked towards the door together. Song Jian was holding the direction finder, and Boss Bai was sticking the steel sheet on the semiconductor device. We came to the door, and the direction pointer was still pointing to the northeast.But the pointer of the number has become "sixteen", which means that we are already close to two meters. We went out the door and came to the hall, the direction of the pointer remained the same, and the number decreased again. Boss Bai glared at Du Zhong abruptly, and walked towards a door. When he came to the door, there were fewer numbers on the pointer on the direction finder! Boss Bai stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Song Jian, Du Zhong and I walked in together. I saw that room was full of various instruments that I didn't understand, and there was a very huge device that looked like a computer, once it arrived in this room.The pointer finally pointed to the word "zero" in front of a steel table, and a red light next to the direction finder also lit up, and the direction finder made a "squeak" sound.Boss Bai glanced over the table with his fierce eyes, and immediately saw that there was a small red light shining on a thing the size of an ink bottle!Boss Bai turned around and said, "Brother Du, what's the use of this signal when you received it?" Boss Bai softened his voice a bit, and said: "Brother Du, you admit it, it has nothing to do with you, and you are just following someone's orders, even if you are punished, it will not be too severe!" Du Zhong said: "That is ...Young Master Bai is pretending." Boss Bai seemed to have expected that he would have such an answer, so after listening to it, his expression remained unchanged, and he said: "What's the use of installing such a thing?" Call me, I'll be there at the first signal!" Boss Bai sneered and said, "I'm afraid not necessarily!" Seeing that things were about to come to light, I couldn't help being happy.He hurriedly said, "Boss Bai, what is this room?" Bai Lao Dao: "This is my laboratory, under the care of Du Zhong." I said again: "Boss Bai, I don't think Du Zhong is telling the truth. Look, there are other new devices in the laboratory. I suspect that Du Zhong must have made other moves after receiving the signal to snatch those steel plates." !" While I was talking, I paid attention to Du Zhong's complexion, the more I spoke, the more ugly Du Zhong's complexion became, after I finished speaking, he was sweating profusely, and he lost his human form! Boss Bai said "Hmm", looked around, took two steps forward, came to the side of three TVs, and said, "Brother Du, it was only one TV, why are there two more?" Du Zhong took a wrong step forward, his whole body softened, and he sat on the chair.Can't say a word.Boss Bai sighed, and said, "I haven't set foot in this laboratory for only two months, so you have already done so many tricks in secret!" He said as he opened the first laboratory. The computer is displayed, and after a while, it will be displayed on the screen.A lot of messy lines appeared, Mr. Bai made some adjustments, and a scene of a beach appeared on the screen.I recognized that the beach was an island on this deserted island, where the speedboat docked when I came. Boss Bai turned off the TV and turned on the second one. The second one, what is displayed on the screen is an extremely large study room, which is very elegantly furnished, and one can tell at a glance that the owner of the study room is not an ordinary person.Boss Bai took a look, roared angrily, and said, "Du Zhong, whose idea is this? I installed a TV recording device in my study?" Du Zhong said: "Master... Master's idea." Boss Bai turned his head and said, "Brother Song, bring this beast here to meet me!" Song Jian agreed and walked out.Boss Bai's body was trembling slightly, it was obvious that he was extremely angry in his heart! When I saw this situation, I felt very sorry in my heart, because if it weren't for me, Boss Bai would never have discovered that his son was secretly monitoring his actions!Boss Bai then turned on the third TV, and what appeared on the screen was the entire meeting room!Liu Agen was gesticulating and saying something. Boss Bai hastily twisted the switch again, only to hear Liu Agen's voice, saying, "What's wrong with Boss Bai? What is Wei, why do you listen to him?" The rest of the people were discussing a lot, and being here was like being in a meeting room! Boss Bai took a deep breath, turned around, and said: "Du Zhong, you should say it!" His four words, uttered in a deep voice, really had the power of thunder, Du Zhong hurriedly said: "I... …I said that!" Boss Bai closed his eyes, and said: "Don't say a word of falsehood!" Du Zhong said: "Yes...all of this is the young master's idea." Bai Lao said: "Don't say these things, say that after you receive the signal, you will act what?" Du Zhong bumped his knees, said "de" in a loud voice, "it's all under the orders of the young master. He installed an electromagnetic board on the conference table with his own hands. As soon as I received the signal, I pressed the button, the light went out, and the electromagnetic board fell down." , I turn on the electricity again, and it emits a magnetic force, which attracts the steel plate in the center of the table together, and the electromagnetic plate is hidden on the ceiling!" Boss Bai opened his eyes and said, "Brother Wei, it turned out that the electromagnetic plate pressed onto the steel plate, and then emitted a magnetic force to attract it, so there was no sound at all!" I could see that although Boss Bai tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, his heart was extremely distressed!I nodded and said: "Boss Bai, your son is young, so he will inevitably go astray for a while, you...don't be too sad!" Boss Bai let out a long sigh and said, "Du Zhong, tell me what happened that night." Du Zhong said: "That night, I didn't move at all, and suddenly I saw the light go out, I received the signal, and immediately acted according to the order." Bai Lao Dao: "So, the twenty-one steel plates are in the hands of the little beast?" Du Zhong said: "The young master was detained by the boss, he had no chance to take it out, and I didn't dare to take it out, the steel plate is still sucked on the electromagnetic board." Bai Laodao: "Okay, then you press the button to expose the electromagnetic board and show me." Du Zhong's fingers trembled, and he stretched out his hand to press one of the buttons in the row above the desk, only to hear In the conference room, there was a sudden exclamation. Boss Bai and I looked at the fluorescent screen of the TV, and saw a piece about three feet square on the ceiling of the conference room that was aligned with the center of the round table. Shrunk in.And everyone in the conference room had already discovered this matter, and everyone looked up, with expressions of surprise on their faces. After the square hole was exposed, a three-foot-square thin plate, connected with four steel rods like an oil pressure device, immediately fell down, just pressed on the table, pressed down, and then rose upwards. At the moment, Boss Bai shouted sharply: "Where's the steel sheet?" Hearing a "gudong", Du Zhong fell to the ground with his chair and said, "Steel sheet? It should be on the electromagnetic board... Boss Bai, I have never taken it! If I did, The sky is struck by lightning, no sons and grandchildren, no good death! Male robbers and female prostitutes. Turtle bastard..." He swore six or seven oaths in one breath, almost incoherent! Boss Bai and I looked at the electromagnetic screen again, only to see that there was no trace on the ceiling. Looking at Eucommia's situation, he did not obtain the twenty-one steel sheets, and Bai Qiwei was immediately detained. Then, where did the twenty-one steel sheets that were supposed to be on the electromagnetic board go? ? Du Zhong said: "No more, everything is done by the young master and... I, no third party will know!" When I wanted to ask again, I only heard a "bang", Song Jian rushed in, and grabbed a man by the back of the neck, pushed the man into the room first, fell to the ground, and then stepped in. When we all took a closer look at that person together, we couldn't help being startled!I was secretly amazed. It turned out that that person was not Bai Qiwei, but a middle-aged man. Boss Bai and I couldn't help but be stunned.Song Jian was ordered to bring Bai Qiwei, how did he bring a middle-aged man?Before the two of us asked any questions, Song Jian had already said: "Boss Bai, when I arrived, Qi Wei was no longer there, this man was about to leave and I caught him, just ask him about everything, and he will understand! " After hearing Song Jian's words, I couldn't help being shocked. You know, in the past two years, Bai Qiwei has been ostentatious outside in the name of Boss Bai, and his wings are already full. If he leaves, he may simply commit evil even more openly, and it will be difficult to deal with it! Boss Bai's complexion also looked extremely ugly. He didn't make a sound, but just looked at the middle-aged man coldly.The middle-aged man fell on the ground, not even daring to raise his head. After a while, Boss Bai sighed and said, "Brother Cheng, why are you messing around with them too?" The middle-aged man raised his head, and I realized that the middle-aged man's face was not frightened, but helpless, and Boss Bai didn't seem to have any intention of severely reprimanding him. It seems that their relationship is very good. After the middle-aged man raised his head, he said, "Boss, what can I do? Brother Wei, I watched him grow up, and he begged me to let him go. I... can't refuse." Bai Lao Dao: "When he left, did you see any important things he took with him?" The middle-aged man shook his head, and said: "No, he said that Boss, you have been hidden underground for the past few years, and you have no ambitions. He didn't take it seriously..." Boss Bai smiled wryly, and said, "Brother Cheng, you don't take it very seriously, do you?" The middle-aged man bowed his head and remained silent, obviously admitting it in his heart. Boss Bai said again: "Where did he go, do you know?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I really don't know." Boss Bai waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go!" The middle-aged man bowed to Boss Bai, and then retreated.Boss Bai rested his chin with his hands, stayed for a while, and said, "Strange, who took those twenty pieces of steel?" I was also thinking about this question. Only Bai Qiwei and Du Zhong knew about the fact that the twenty pieces of steel were attracted to the electromagnetic board.I dare believe that even if he had the guts to reveal the truth, Eucommia would no longer dare to hide the truth.Although Bai Qiwei knew where the twenty pieces of steel were, he had no chance to get them. Of course, steel plates are not automatically lost.That must be another third person who learned the secret of Du Zhong and Bai Qiwei and stole the steel plate while the two failed to get it.For Bai Qiwei and Du Zhong, it can be said that "the robber meets the thief uncle", but for me, it is even more difficult to find the twenty pieces of steel! Boss Bai said a few words to himself, and then said: "Brother Wei, let's go." I hurriedly said, "Boss Bai, can you let me stay here, let's try to find those twenty pieces of steel?" Before answering, Song Jian said: "Brother Wei, you'd better leave this place, don't make trouble!" I said: "Brother Song, I'm definitely not interested in this wealth, but I don't want this wealth to fall on anyone. In the hands of one person!" Bai Lao said: "Okay, then let's go to the conference room together, Du Zhong, you are here to listen to the order!" He said, while hitting the third TV with a "slap", The TV set was knocked sideways, and the two TV sets sparked and smoke burst out, and they were already destroyed by the force of his palm. Du Zhong's complexion turned blue, and he agreed.Boss Bai, Song Jian and I walked out together and returned to the meeting room.As soon as they arrived at the meeting room, several people talked to Boss Bai about what happened on the ceiling just now. Boss Bai waved his hand and said: "I know everything, there is no need to say more." Then, he explained the strategy of Du Zhong and Bai Qiwei.After finishing speaking, there was a pause, and he said again: "The plan of the two of them was forced to advance because of Su'er's actions. Therefore, only twenty-one steel plates were attracted to the electromagnetic plate." Immediately someone in the crowd said: "But we haven't seen any steel plates!" Boss Bai said in a deep voice: "Yes, the two of them have never taken the steel plate, and the steel plate has already entered the hands of a third person!"
