After Wen Baoyu left the airport building, he heard a quite familiar voice from behind: "Little friend, what method did you use to 'change the column', can you tell me?" Looking back, Wen Baoyu was very happy, because the person talking behind his back was the "stranger from the rivers and lakes" he had seen at the playground that day. Wen Baoyu was very enthusiastic, and quickly grabbed the old man's hand: "I see you again!" Yes, I'm so happy, so good." However, Gu Jiufei looked at Wen Baoyu with a very strange expression, and Wen Baoyu was a little muttering in his heart. Gu Jiufei asked again: "So I let you out so soon, so naturally I didn't find anything lost on you?"

Wen Baoyu was stunned, but Gu Jiufei said again, "You haven't answered the question I just asked before." Greenhouse Yu scratched his head: "Your question just now was—" Gu Jiufei smiled: "What method did you use to 'change the pillar'?" Wen Baoyu was at a loss: "What is 'changing pillars'?" Gu Jiufei seemed to be in a big accident, "Ah", said: "So you are 'outer space'." Wen Baoyu was even more puzzled: "What is 'outer space'?" Gu Jiufei also laughed: "You don't understand? That is to say, you are an amateur pickpocket."

Wen Baoyu was angry and funny, and protested loudly: "I'm not a pickpocket at all." He was denying it solemnly, but Gu Jiufei blinked at him: "I am, not only, but also, a very successful old pickpocket, well, I..." It may be that Gu Jiufei believes that Wen Baoyu is a pickpocket, not only that, but also a good material among pickpockets, or it may be that Conservatory Yu's appearance is quite lovable, and it may be that he also wants to show off himself at the right time ( Everyone has this tendency), so he added: "ranked third in China." Wen Baoyu was very angry at first, but at this time, he was aroused by Gu Jiufei's words, and he had a very good impression of this "stranger in the world", so at this time, he was also very interested, tilting his head with a look of A look of disbelief: "Really? That must be amazing?"

At this time, a big car stopped, and they were still at the gate of the airport building. The car stopped almost in front of them, and the door opened very rudely, almost hitting them. Wen Baoyu and Gu Jiufei each took half a step back, and the one who stepped out of the car first was a man who looked like a follower, pretending to be a tiger, and gave Greenhouse Yu and Gu Jiufei a hard look, and then went to open the car From the back door of the car, another figure who can be seen at a glance as a tycoon stepped out of the car. It was a little strange that the tycoon himself was carrying a briefcase—generally speaking, tycoons rarely carried it by themselves. The briefcase is always carried by the attendant. If he wants to carry it himself, there must be something extremely important in it.

Seeing this situation, Wen Baoyu glanced at Gu Jiufei as if challenging him.Although the two, the old and the young, had known each other not long ago, it was obvious that there was a tacit understanding between them. Gu Jiufei nodded immediately, and walked forward, intervening between the tycoon and his servant. People who are in a hurry, although their actions are a little reckless, they are not enough to provoke scolding. When Gu Jiufei reached the opposite road, the tycoon and his followers walked into the airport building, Wen Baoyu also rushed over, Gu Jiufei asked with a smile, "Did you see it?"

Wen Baoyu was amazed: "What did you see?" Gu Jiufei snorted: "Just now, I found a leather bag on that tycoon's body, which is called 'stolen beam', and immediately put that leather bag on the body of that doggy follower, which is called 'changing pillars'." ’, steal the beam and change the post, proceed in one breath, it’s a little faster, no wonder people can’t see clearly.” Wen Baoyu really didn’t see anything, but Gu Jiufei’s words also aroused his great interest.He said: "The tycoon, if you find that the leather bag is in the guy's pocket, how will the guy explain it?"

Gu Jiufei also laughed loudly: "This can be regarded as a little lesson for him. I also got something on that tycoon's body. I don't know what it is?" As he said, he turned his palm, as if by magic, there was a small square packet on his palm, about five centimeters in size, wrapped in very elegant deep purple velvet and wrapped with golden thread. He tossed the small square box up and down in his hand, and asked Wen Baoyu: "Are you really not a pickpocket? I saw your elf-like appearance, and thought you must be." Wen Baoyu smiled wryly, thinking to himself what kind of logic is this, a person with an elf-like face must be a pickpocket?He was just curious: "Mister, you—"

Speaking of this, a car stopped in front of them, and a middle-aged man poked his head out in the car: "Master, I've been looking for you everywhere, it's time." Gu Jiufei opened the car door, still reluctant to part with Wen Baoyu: "I'm going to have a meeting, will you attend?" Wen Baoge asked casually: "What will happen?" Gu Jiufei's answer made this young man who had nothing to do but wanted to make trouble almost scream. The answer was "World Pickpockets Congress." Wen Baoyu saw his parents on the plane, and was thinking of something new. Now that such a good thing is delivered to his door, how can he refuse to agree?He originally wanted to ask Hu Shuo and Liang Chen Meijing to participate together, but after getting in the car, the car was going fast, and he was afraid that if he mentioned it, he would miss his chance to participate, so he didn't say anything.

Just like that, he attended the meeting, listened to Gu Jiufei's speech, saw Gu Jiufei's performance, and finally because of one extra sentence, Gu Jiufei asked to meet with me. At that time, Gu Jiufei saw Wen Baoyu's distressed face, so he took out the small box from the tycoon and threw it up and down: "Guess what's inside?" Wen Baoyu rolled his eyes: "You know? Do you have clairvoyance?" Gu Jiufei smiled: "There are definitely people who have the ability to see through, but I don't. I guess, it's the jewelry that the tycoon gave to his mistress."

Wen Baoyu curled his lips in disdain: "I don't have any imagination at all, I guess it's the epitome of a large number of secret documents." Gu Jiufei "tsk tsk" repeatedly: "Because of the poison of a spy movie, I guess...it's a monster's test-tube embryo." Wen Baoyu laughed "haha": "It's kind of interesting. I guess it's a new type of weapon. Although it's small, it's enough to destroy a city." Gu Jiufei said "Hmm", "It can be almost anything." Everyone has curiosity, Wen Baoyu's curiosity is even stronger, and Gu Jiufei is obviously very good at arousing people's curiosity, Wen Baoyu scratched his ears and cheeks, licked his tongue and smacked his lips: "Open it and take a look, you can understood."

Gu Jiufei dared to think: "Do you recognize that tycoon just now?" Wen Baoyu shook his head, Gu Jiufei said: "I haven't seen it before, but it's very grand, and it seems a little mysterious. I think this thing may be of great importance, because he put it in a hidden pocket in the inner layer of the suit vest." middle." Wen Baoyu smiled: "Take it apart and have a look." When the little slicker meets the old slicker, the old slicker will always have the upper hand. At this time, Gu Jiufei put forward his condition: "If you can arrange for me to meet Wesley, I will give this to you." Wen Baoyu was angry and funny: "Who knows what that is, why should I help you." Gu Jiufeimi focused: "It's because you don't know what it is, so you have to contribute. It may be... a 'treasure', which can meet and talk to alien astronauts who are tens of thousands of light years away. " Gu Jiufei's words made Wen Baoyu involuntarily, gulped his saliva, and blinked: "I can't take you there directly, I can arrange it, and I will notify you after the arrangement is made." Gu Jiufei thought for a while, agreed, left a contact number, and shook the box in front of Wen Baoyu, which made Wen Baoyu almost unable to resist snatching it. This time, Wen Baoyu was very honest, contrary to his usual habit of acting spooky, and did not beat around the bush. After breaking up with Gu Jiufei, when he came to my study, Bai Su was there, and his first sentence was: "I I saw that strange man again today, he turned out to be a pickpocket named Gu Jiufei." I heard the name, and felt the name was very familiar. For a while, I couldn't remember who it was, but Bai Su immediately let out a low voice of "ah": "Gu Jiufei is the number one pickpocket in the south of the river." .” Wen Baoyu was very excited: "He claims to be China's third." Because of the relationship with Boss Bai, Bai Su is very familiar with all kinds of gangs, churches, and organizations in the Jianghu. Among the three religions and nine streams, there are many outstanding figures. She also knows most of them. She nodded: "Yes, still There are two of them, both in the north of Dajiang, when he debuted, he was very young, and he was known as a child prodigy among pickpockets." I laughed "haha": "No wonder he is happy to see Xiaobao, most likely he wants to train Xiaobao to be his successor." Wen Baoyu blushed, and then heard about how he met him at the airport today, how he encouraged Gu Jiufei to show off his skills, and about the situation of the tycoon and his servant. Bai Su made a gesture, temporarily interrupted his conversation, took a newspaper, opened it, pointed to a photo, looked at Wen Baoyu, I looked at the photo, and the photo was a tycoon-type figure. Wen Baoyu called: "That's him." I was stunned - seeing the photo, I don't need to read the description, I also know who it is, this person's background is extremely complicated, he has Arab blood, and there is a "territory" in the Middle East, so he has The title of "Chief".However, his territory is quite poor and has no oil production.However, he has an excellent relationship with important people in the Arab world, and he is extremely trusted by previous important people.Because of the Organization of Petroleum Production Countries, it has a relationship with Indonesia. It is said that he was responsible for supplying arms during the famous coup in Indonesia. And now, he is the largest military trader in the world—although this is a secret, it is also very public. Arms brokers are different from other businesses and can be respected by governments all over the world.Because countries can be divided into two categories: one needs to buy arms, and the other needs to sell arms. During the lobbying process, arms brokers naturally feel like ducks in water and benefit countlessly. Therefore, some people have calculated that his wealth may not be the first in the world, but luxury can be ranked among the top three. He uses a 747 wide-body airliner as his private jet. It is said that the bathtub on it is made of pure gold. of. (Casting bathtubs of pure gold is but one of many follies of humankind.) The man's name was quite long, but everyone called him Chief Aga. It turned out to be Chief Aga. On the one hand, I was surprised, and on the other hand, I also felt that the situation was suspicious. Wen Baoyu was reading the description of the person in the photo in the newspaper, and his expression became very puzzled. I said: "No, for a big man like him, the car should drive straight to the apron. , how did you get off the car outside the airport and meet you?" Wen Baoyu pointed at the newspaper and raised his head: "There are too few chances to meet him outside the airport. The local government doesn't welcome his arrival very much, so he is asked to leave the country as soon as possible, and he is not given any privileges. The reason is that There is no direct diplomatic relationship with his emirate, and I think that's why he's angry like a normal person." I took the newspaper and looked at it, and sure enough, I waved my hand involuntarily: "Good guy, a small box picked up from such a big man's hidden pocket, it could really contain anything." Wen Baoyu was even more itchy: "Please meet that Gu Jiufei, that box is mine." I was pondering about it, but Bai Su said, "Gu Jiufei is a very interesting person, and he has a relationship with Mr. Bai, so we can meet him, but that little box..." When she said this, she frowned, and I hurriedly said, "What's the matter? What did you think of?" Bai Su sighed—she seldom sighed for no reason, so Wen Baoyu and I were very nervous, we couldn't help but looked at each other, waiting for her further explanation. Bai Su paused for a while: "I didn't think of anything, I just felt that it was dangerous or ominous, so I don't agree with you accepting that...thing, it's best to return that thing...to him, or use the last direct method to destroy." Wen Baoyu didn't dare to raise any objection, just pouted and kept silent.I also disagree: "This is too unreasonable. Just relying on some feelings, why don't you even look at it?" Bai Su took a few steps back and forth: "There is still some basis. Chief Aga sells arms, and his business must have brought about the loss of a large number of lives. He is so closely connected with death. Separated, isn't it natural to feel something ominous about him?" Wen Baoyu and I looked at each other and smiled wryly, Wen Baoyu forced a smile: "If Gu Jiufei refuses..." Bai Su rushed to say: "If Gu Jiufei knew who he was, he would agree. A pickpocket is a person with very keen senses, like Chief Aga. The local government has a reason to not welcome him." , When you mention his name, what does it remind you of?" I said: "His name, his behavior, are related to a large number of deaths, he reminds people of—" Wen Baoyu hurriedly said, "The God of Plague." I shrugged my shoulders: "I'm not sure. He is only responsible for supplying munitions and does not create wars. Without the munitions he supplies, there will be wars. And if there is no plague god to spread the plague, there will be no plague." Greenhouse Yu said solemnly: "It's about the same. In short, death is expanded by his actions." Bai Su spread out his hands: "Yes, if you get it from the God of Plague, what good things will there be?" Wen Baoyu's mind was moving very fast, his face suddenly changed, and he shivered involuntarily.I knew that he had already thought of many Chinese and foreign legends about plague gods in a flash. Plague gods are ghosts and gods that harm people with plagues.The God of Plague does not know how to spread the plague, and the plague can spread thousands of miles in a lifetime, causing countless deaths, which is naturally chilling and frightening. See him like this.I couldn't help being a little amused, and said loudly: "Xiaobao, test your knowledge about plague gods." Wen Baoyu said: "It's all legends──" I shook my head: "No, there are some exact records." Wen Baoyu took a breath: "The last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, has this record: 'When the fourth seal is opened...they are given authority to kill the people on the earth with the sword, famine, plague, and wild beasts. A quarter of them.' The one who rode on the gray horse at least played the part of the plague god, for he spread the plague and caused death." I nodded in approval: "There are more legends in China. The God of Plague has various images and spreads various plagues. Mostly because of the poor sanitation in ancient China, there were many plagues, so there are also many legends about the God of Plague." Wen Baoyu became excited - he was very interested in any discussions with unique topics.He said: "The most famous story is that a kind-hearted man met a woman on the way, holding a box, resting by the side of the road. He gave the woman the water he brought. Although the woman refused, she was grateful. Tell the kind-hearted people that she is the God of Plague, and that in the box is the medium of the plague. Once the plate is opened, tens of thousands of people will die. Tell the kind-hearted people to go back quickly and hang absinthe under the eaves, so that they can be saved. " When Wen Baoyu talked about this, he stopped talking: "The kind-hearted people heard this, and rushed home, and asked people to hang absinthe on the door whenever they met. Most people didn't believe it, but some people believed it, so they took the absinthe. The medicine was hung at the door, and when the kind-hearted man rushed to his door, the absinthe in the field had already been picked, and he could not find the absinthe to hang—” When I heard this, I yelled, "Stop talking nonsense, kid, you made up the last paragraph yourself." Wen Baoyu stuck out his tongue, but Bai Su said: "The weaving is very good, I never thought that Xiaobao can make up stories, if you make it up according to your wishes, what will happen in the end?" Wen Baoyu was overjoyed, dancing with his hands and feet: "Naturally at the last moment, he got a piece of absinthe. The plague came, and many people died. Anyone who took absinthe was fine, but good people are hard to do. The king of hell has fewer ghosts , and sent the little devil to find a good-hearted person to settle accounts──” The more he talked, the more he talked, and I yelled again: "You are the one who was sent by the King of Hades." Wen Baoyu smiled: "This kind of story can continue endlessly." Bai Su smiled: "The most specific and detailed records about the God of Plague are in the book "Three Religions Searching for Gods". I can't recite the original text. Xiaobao is interested. You can go to the library to find this book to read." Look, there are five plague gods in total, all holding different utensils in their hands, specializing in all kinds of plagues in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they seem to have names." Wen Baoyu was very interested, so he quickly wrote down the title of the book and asked, "It seems that the plague gods are holding things in their hands?" I laughed: "It's for the release of the plague. Open one compartment and the bacillus is released. Then, the plague is prevalent. If the release is the cholerae bacteria, needless to say, everyone will vomit and diarrhea, unless in the Hang absinthe on the door." Wen Baoyu laughed loudly: "What if the two kinds of germs came out together?" I glared: "That's needless to say. Naturally, it's a mixture of the two, which produces a new germ and a new plague." Wen Baoyu tilted his head, thought for a while, and then said: "It's strange, Chinese medicine has never known about bacteria, and they don't know about bacteria causing disease. But in the case of the plague, the God of Plague must spread something , to form a plague, which is very contradictory.” I have said long ago that Wen Baoyu's imagination is full of unrestrained power. Once he pulls it apart, he can't stop it. I looked at Bai Su: "What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that if the box on Chief Aga's body is opened, , like opening a box in the hands of the plague god?'” Bai Su said: "Of course I don't mean that, I just think there is no need to cause that kind of trouble." I suddenly wanted to dare to come forward: "Hey, if there is really something extremely important in Chief Aga's small box, he must have already discovered it. If he remembered that Gu Jiufei had appeared in front of him, because he suspected that Gu Jiufei No, then... this old pickpocket..." Wen Baoyu also became nervous, because he had stared at each other with that follower, and he could naturally recognize him, so he hurriedly said, "Then... what are the consequences?" I asked and snorted: "It's nothing to cause a murder." Wen Baoyu was in a daze, Bai Su made a gesture to him, motioning him to make a call, Wen Baoyu pressed the phone in a hurry, the call was answered immediately, Greenhouse Yu was relieved for a day: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Wei, Mrs. Wei please Come quickly, I am waiting for you too." Gu Jiufei's pleasant voice came from the phone: "Great, I have a strange thing that can't be more strange, and I want to ask him for advice." I made a small box with my gestures, and Wen Baoyu immediately said: "Do you know who is the one who took away a small box?" Gu Jiufei paused for a while: "I didn't know then, but now I know." Wen Baoyu became nervous: "This person is not kind, Mr. Gu, you have to be careful." Gu Jiufei smiled: "I'm not a delicious fruit, tell me the address, and I'll come right away. The little box is still yours, boy, it might be a whole box of diamonds."
