Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Strange Dream Talk

That super jewel thief is really impressive. Not only does he live on the top floor of this luxurious building, but he also has a private elevator, which is controlled from above.That is to say, if you don't put an elevator down, you can't go up. The elevator is beautifully furnished. When the elevator door opens, I step out, and it is a quite spacious hall.At a glance, it is a Buddha statue.That kind of gilded Buddha statue, from India or Nepal, is an extremely valuable antiquity. I walked forward, bypassed the Buddha statue, and walked towards the two carved wooden gates. When I came to the gate, the gate opened.

Inside the gate is an extremely gorgeous living room, and there is no one in the living room. As I looked around, I asked, "Is anyone there?" Another door opened, it was a study room, the wall I could see was full of books, and a voice came out: "Please come in." When I entered the study, I saw someone sitting in a swivel velvet easy chair, and he was turning to face me.I looked at that person, and that person also looked at me. I took the trouble to describe my meeting with this "Super Jewel Thief" because the result was so unexpected! He turned around and met each other, and I was stunned.

And, I'm absolutely sure, the man in the easy chair froze too. We definitely never expected to meet in this situation.At the same time, I couldn't help cursing inwardly that the photo Qiao Sen gave me was too blurry, which only made me feel familiar with this "jewel thief", but not enough for me to know who it was. The other party was far more surprised than me.As soon as he saw me, he stood up abruptly, opened his mouth wide, and looked extremely surprised, as if he clearly saw that it was me, but he still didn't believe that I would stand in front of him. After being stunned for a while, I pointed at him without making a sound.It was the other party who broke the silence first: "How could it be you? Wesley."

This person finally opened his mouth. I have been with him for quite a long time, but this is the first time I heard him speak. This person is not tall, with a half-bald head. Mr. Gent, an expert in science. I can expect to see anyone here, because the super jewel thief is the best at hiding his identity.I wouldn't be more surprised if it was John Lennon who had been shot. After he asked a question, I finally settled down and let out a sigh of relief: "Why is it you again? Mr. Gent?" Gent frowned, and his dislike of talking had flared up again. He waved his hand and motioned for me to sit down.

It was too unexpected to see Jin Te here, so I didn't sit down for the time being. I went to the wine cabinet first, poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then sat down. Gent also sat down, looked at me, and I looked at him, neither of them spoke for a while. I know that Gent would not have spoken if he hadn't been extremely surprised just now. At this time, if I waited for him to speak first, I might have to wait for hours without any result. So, I bowed slightly, and opened my mouth first: "I need to find out whether I have found the wrong person." Gent still didn't speak, just looked at me, and I said, "I should come to see a super jewel thief, Qiao Sen told me so."

Gent let out a muffled snort: "Wrong." I don't know what he means by that.Did he mean that Jonson was wrong and he wasn't the Jewel Thief?Or am I wrong, the person I want to meet is not him at all? So I said: "What does it mean to be wrong, please explain clearly!" Jinte frowned in hunger, did not speak, and showed an impatient expression, as if to say: "What a fool, such a simple matter requires me to waste my time." His look annoyed me. Originally, I expected to meet a jewel thief, and suddenly met a spiritual scientist. This unexpected thing is very interesting.But this person doesn't like to talk, which makes him feel sullen.

I pointed at him, "Whether you like to talk or not, I've come to see you, I have something to say to you, and you're obviously waiting for me, you must speak, you must speak in complete sentences that I understand, you must Otherwise, I will leave immediately, and you can keep silent alone." When I was in the lobby just now, Si Yan told me that he had been waiting for me for several days, so I knew he was waiting for the person sent by Qiao Sen, so there must be something wrong, I couldn't play charades with him.So it's better to explain first. After listening to my words, Jin Te was silent for a while, and then said: "Qiao Sen is wrong, I don't steal jewelry."

I hummed: "So, where is the jewel thief? Tell him to come out, I have something to say to him." Gent said again: "It's me." I leaned forward so steeply that I couldn't help but rush over and punch him.Although, I had already clenched my fist, but I never punched it out.However, I have also made up my mind not to deal with this kind of person any more, as long as I explain what I have said. I held back my breath and tried to use the shortest words possible: "As far as I know, no one in the world can break through the security system of this exhibition. You'd better not do it."

After I finished speaking, I stood up, poured another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.I don't leave immediately, but to give him some time to reply to my words.But he still didn't make a sound. It's okay for Jin Te to keep silent, I put down my wine glass and walked towards the door, and when I was about to walk out of the study, I heard him say: "I want an invitation card." I was taken aback for a moment. Although what he said just now was inexplicable, I must have heard one sentence correctly, that is, he admitted that he was the one who came to steal the jewels.

But at this time, he wanted another invitation to a jewelry fair.I really don't know what kind of idiot he is.I don't know what kind of idiot he thinks I or Qiao Sen are. How can there be people who send invitations to steal jewelry to patronize such a thing? I turned around and stared at him. His expression was actually very sincere, as if what he made was just an ordinary request, not something absurd. I was angry and funny at the same time: "Oh, you want an invitation card. Excuse me, what do you want an invitation card for?" Gent frowned again, and that impatient look appeared on his face again.It seems that the question I asked is not worth answering at all.I shouted, "Answer."

Gent even became annoyed: "Invitation, of course, you can enter the venue if you come." I looked up to the sky and laughed three times, but Jin Te might not know about this kind of irony unique to the Chinese stage, so after laughing three times, I stopped laughing.Unexpectedly, Jin Te actually understood, he asked coldly: "Why are you laughing?" I let out a sigh of relief: "You stole jewelry, think about it, how could the invitation be sent to you?" This time, Gent actually answered immediately: "If you have an invitation, you won't steal it; if you don't, you will steal it." He spoke very seriously, and I wanted to refute him, but I felt that if I continued talking with him, there would be no results. Anyway, my words had already been brought, and I could pass on his words to Qiao Sen. My task had been completed. . I nodded and said: "Okay, I will convey your request to Qiao Sen. However, as I have known you in the past, I advise you, even if you don't have an invitation card, you should not mess around. It seems that you are not someone who can be in this place anyway." The one who successfully stole the jewels at the fair." Gent didn't respond—this was expected, and he didn't send it out when I walked out of the study. The area of ​​this living unit is quite large, and there is an upper floor. It seems that only Jin Te lives alone.I was thinking: Sir Pursoli knew very little about Gint, and said that he had lived in a Greek monastery, and that he had been an ascetic.Well, that's not the case at all. After leaving the building and returning to the hotel, when I passed the lobby, a staff member handed me a note. I opened it and saw that the note was sent to me by Qiao Sen: "Around midnight, please come to my room." I don't find it surprising that the exhibition opens in two days, so it looks like he's going to be working overnight. I went back to my room, took a rest, and made a phone call with Bai Su. Ten minutes before midnight, I left the room, went to the floor where Qiao Sen lived, and rang the doorbell.It was one of the two young men who came to open the door, and I said, "Qiao Sen asked me to come." He said "ah", "Mr. Qiao Sen hasn't come back yet." I checked the time, it was five minutes before midnight.People who are used to intelligence work will definitely abide by the time.So I said, "It doesn't matter, I'll wait for him." The young man let me in. As he once said, it was a living room with rooms on both sides. After I sat down, the stubborn young man came out. I greeted them and chatted with them. It was already 20:20, and Joson hadn't appeared yet.I began to get a little impatient: "Where is he? Still working?" That stubborn said: "I don't know, I haven't seen him since nine o'clock in the evening." I couldn't help being a little worried: "Is this often the case?" The two looked at each other, and one said: "It wasn't before, but these days... it's just like this, and my whereabouts were unknown for a few hours." I took a breath and glanced at Qiao Sen's room: "Still talking in your sleep?" The two nodded together. I walked over and knocked twice on the closed door: "The sound insulation in the room is good. He is used to sleeping with the door open?" When I say this, the intention is very obvious. If Qiao Sen sleeps with the door closed, even if he talks in his sleep, the two of them will not be able to hear him. The stubborn one understood what I meant, and immediately said, "No, he doesn't have this habit, and neither do we." I was stunned: "What, you mean, you can hear Qiao Sen's sleep talk through two doors?" The young man said: "I didn't hear it, but I was woken up by him." For a moment, I couldn't help but be speechless, and after a long while, I could only say: "Then, he is not talking in his sleep, he is screaming with his throat straight." The two sighed: "Almost." I feel that things are very special: "His name is..." The stubborn one immediately went on: "What he called was: 'I don't have it, we don't! You have it? You have it?'" I said, "What does that mean, you didn't ask?" The stubborn one said: "Mr. Qiao Sen is very serious. We didn't dare to ask in detail. We just mentioned it briefly. He said he was talking in his sleep, so we thought he was talking in his sleep." I was getting more and more surprised, and was about to ask more questions, when there was the sound of the door opening, and Qiao Sen appeared at the door.He looked like he had just finished fifteen rounds with a heavyweight. I don't mean the scars on his head and face, but the way he looked, I've rarely seen anyone look so tired, his neck drooping like wet flour when he came in the door. I lost my voice: "Qiao Sen, where are you from? What did you do?" Upon hearing my voice, Qiao Sen was startled and looked up at me.That's when I realized that Jonson wasn't tired, but depressed.It was astonishing to see the utter despondency with which his eyes wandered. It wasn't just me, the two young men also opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them together. When Qiao Sen saw someone in the living room, he suddenly yelled. He was yelling at the two young men, his voice hoarse: "Why don't you go to sleep?" The two young men were startled, and hurriedly said, "Wait...you!" Qiao Sen continued to scold: "What's there to wait for, go back to your own rooms." While yelling, he rushed forward in an extremely groggy manner, and yelled again: "Get out!" This call was so loud that it reverberated in the ears.At this moment, I suddenly remembered something: the sound that can wake people up after two doors must be so loud. The two young men rushed into the room and closed the door immediately. Qiao Sen took a deep breath, stretched out his hands and wiped his face vigorously twice, sat down, held his head in his hands, and his body was trembling slightly. In such a situation, I really didn't know what to do, so I had to ask him: "What's the matter?" After a while, Qiao Sen stood up abruptly, turned his back to me, poured a large glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.When he turned around again, he had completely recovered: "Nothing, why don't you have some wine?" I stared at him without blinking, searching for words to swear.To be honest, I'm not bad at swearing.But I have never seen a person so brazen and lie like this.It's really not easy to find words to scold such a person.Instead of being angry, I smiled: "Okay, drink." I also walked over and poured a glass of wine. Then, I raised the glass and said to him, "Qiao Sen, I give you two choices." Qiao Sen didn't understand, so he looked at me, and I said again, "Do you want me to pour this glass of wine over my head, or open your collar and pour the wine in?" Qiao Sen said, "Are you kidding me!" His expression at this time seemed as innocent as a baby.I have known for a long time that he has done underground work and concealing the secrets in his heart is his specialty, but I don't know that he is so proficient in this area. Since he has such kung fu, why did he have that terrifying expression when he first came in?The only explanation is that what happened to him was too horrible to hide. I looked at him and he was totally unaffected.I sighed and drank the wine in the glass: "It's my fault." Johnson asked, "What are you talking about?" Good guy, he blamed me instead, and I immediately said: "It's my own fault, I thought we were friends." Qiao Sen laughed: "Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't ask you to help." For his pretense, I really feel disgusted to the extreme. In the relationship between people, there is relatively little honesty, and there is a lot of mutual deception.But this kind of deceit like blatantly treating the other party as an idiot is really rare. I was too angry to speak, but Qiao Sen was very relaxed: "You went to meet that jewel thief?" I sighed secretly in my heart, thinking: This person is hopeless, even if I treat him as a friend again, it won't work anymore.When I think about this, I have an idea. I said: "Yes, see, I conveyed your words, and he made a counter-demand." Qiao Sen's expression was immediately full of vigilance: "Demand? What is he trying to blackmail?" I said, "He wants an invitation card for this exhibition." Qiao Sen was stunned for a while, as if he didn't understand what I said, I repeated it again, I thought he would laugh out loud, but after he heard it clearly, he frowned and thought about it. Still very serious. After a while, he said: "Is this the request?" I couldn't help it anymore: "Isn't that ridiculous enough?" He made a gesture to signal me not to speak, and then he thought for a while: "Yes, he wants an invitation card, so I'll give him one." I froze for a moment, then reached out and patted my forehead. I really couldn't understand what kind of people I was dealing with! Fortunately, I have decided not to bother about it, so I said nonchalantly, "Okay, that's your business." Qiao Sen looked at me and wanted to say something, but I didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "Okay, I've already done this for you, and I'm not interested in anything else, including visiting that pearl museum." The exhibition is included, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." Johnson sighed, "Why?" I also learned from him, and smiled lightly: "No reason, nothing happened." After hearing my answer, Qiao Sen suddenly became excited and said loudly: "It's nothing, I know, you blame me for keeping something from you. Yes, I have something that I didn't tell you, so what's the matter? Everyone has something that they don't want to tell others, isn't it okay?" The more he talked, the more excited he became, like a volcano erupting suddenly.I didn't expect him to suddenly become like this, so I could only stare and listen to what he said.He spoke up to this point in one breath, only paused, and then said: "That's entirely my personal matter──No one can help me, my appearance looks very painful and abnormal? Yes, I admit it , I beg you, don't try to help me, because I know my own business, and no one can help me." His last few words came out hoarsely.I can be sure that although he drove the two young men into the room, they must not be able to sleep. I waited for him to finish speaking, saw him gasping for breath, his face turned from red to green, and then I sighed: "Anyone will be in trouble. If you don't want me to help, I will never bother you. But I still want to help you." leave, and recommend that you resign, as it appears that you are not in a state of mind suitable for important work." Qiao Sen walked over and took a sip of wine: "There is nothing, I can support it." I couldn't help but say another word. At that time, if I didn't even say this sentence, just acted according to what I had decided, turned around and walked away, even if any earth-shattering event happened again, it would not be my business. But I just said another sentence, it's because I like talking too much.I said, "You just promised to send invitations to jewel thieves, and no one will say it's a wise decision." Qiao Sen immediately said: "You went? Did you see that person?" I said: "I've already said it, it's so funny, this person is an acquaintance of mine, I never knew what kind of super jewel thief he is, I only know that he is..." Qiao Sen answered: "──Psychology expert." Qiao Sen already knew that Jin Te was an expert in spirituality!Then why did he say that Gent is a jewel thief?I also remembered that Jin Te's words were so flashing, what the hell are the two of them doing? My curiosity was aroused, and I looked at Qiao Sen: "So you already knew?" Qiao Sen said: "Yes, that's what he said when he introduced himself for the first time when he came to see me. This man doesn't like to talk very much—sit down and listen to me talk about my dealings with him. I don’t know what his purpose is, maybe you can help me analyze it.” At this time, even if he didn't tell me to sit down, I would force him to tell the story of his acquaintance with Gent.So, I sat down and waited for him to talk. Qiao Sen thought for a while: "That afternoon, I was busy. After finishing a meeting, the venue must be arranged absolutely according to the plan. The secretary said that someone wanted to see me without an appointment, saying that he had something very important." I shook my head: "You can completely miss this person." Qiao Sen said: "Of course, I said no immediately, but the secretary handed me a note." Johnson sighed and paused for a moment.I don't know what he has to brood over.He first said in a low voice: "The note was written by another person, introducing Mr. Gent to see me and telling me to meet him." I said "Oh": "I understand. The person who wrote this note, you can't refuse." Qiao Sen said: "Yes, so I..." He was eager to continue, but I interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute, you haven't said, who wrote you the note?" Qiao Sen was a little annoyed: "Don't interrupt, please. It doesn't matter who wrote it. The problem is that if this person asks me to do it, I can't refuse." I could see that Qiao Sen's anger was from embarrassment. He must be hiding something again.But I agree with him that it doesn't matter who wrote the note. Of course, it is extremely important to know who wrote the note, and it will be a matter of later time. I later learned about the meeting with Jinte from other people. The real situation at that time was as follows: the secretary looked at Qiao Sen with a puzzled expression, because Mr. Qiao Sen did not even look at her for the first ten seconds. He yelled loudly: "Tell him to go, I won't see anyone." However, after seeing the note, he kept saying: "Please come in, please come in, this Mr. Jinte!" The secretary went out and brought Gent in.Qiao Sen's work is important and busy. When the secretary brought Jin Te in, two staff members also took the opportunity to walk in. Qiao Sen immediately pointed at the two people: "Please wait for me outside." At the same time, he said to the secretary: "I don't see anyone, remember, no one, no phone calls, don't bother me, until I cancel this order, it must be absolutely executed." Feeling the seriousness of the situation, the secretary agreed repeatedly, and the two staff members who wanted to come in also hurriedly left. After the staff and secretary retreated, they didn't know what happened in Qiao Sen's office.Among the two staff members, one had a rather high position, and Qiao Sen couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed to be driven away like this.So when the door of the office was closed, he asked the secretary: "That bald man, who is the big man?" Of course the clerk was justified in asking this question.Because in this hotel, there are too many big shots, kings, dukes, generals, princesses, princes, all kinds of big shots. The secretary shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, Mr. Qiao Sen seems to have never heard his name, and he didn't want to see him at first." The clerk said, "Why did you change your mind again?" The secretary said: "I don't know, maybe he was introduced by someone important. He has a letter of introduction." In the office, when Qiao Sen and Jin Te met, there was no third party present at the time, so Qiao Sen said the situation. Qiao Sen looked at Gent with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Gent?" Gent said: "Yes, I am an expert in spirituality." Qiao Sen was a bit ironic: "You are looking for the wrong person, right? I am planning a large-scale jewelry exhibition, not a seance." Gent didn't explain that he was a person who didn't like to talk, so he just put forward his request directly: "I want to participate and give a short speech." Qiao Sen laughed: "It's impossible." Gent insisted: "I must." Qiao Sen was a little annoyed: "It's absolutely impossible." Gent didn't even say anything, just stared at Qiao Sen with a compulsive look in his eyes. Of course, Qiao Sen would not give in because of Gent's vision, and he repeated: "It's absolutely impossible, don't waste my time anymore." Gent didn't say anything. He opened the door and walked out. The secretary was working and looked up at him. Qiao Sen said from the office: "The order just now is cancelled, and work will resume." The secretary didn't know what happened in the office, but there was one thing that left a deep impression on her.That is, when the two clerks left and Gent came out, she had been typing, and she had typed five letters in total.The word count of each letter is about 100 words. The secretary said that she didn't type very fast, only about fifty words a minute, so it took her at least ten minutes to type those five letters. As for what Qiao Sen said, the meeting between him and Gent was just a few words, no matter what, it would take less than ten minutes! I hadn't thought of this when Jossen told me about his meeting with Gent, which was later, a step earlier in the sequence of the narrative. Moreover, when I knew what Qiao Sen was hiding, and recalled Qiao Sen's account, I found another point, that is, Qiao Sen never mentioned that note again. At that time, when I heard Qiao Sen talking about it, I said, "That's it?" Johnson said "no".I was very dissatisfied with what he said, but why I was dissatisfied, I didn't tell it, I just said: "Then, how do you know that he is a super jewel thief?" Qiao Sen smiled: "At that time, he left, I thought the matter was over, who knew that a few days later, he sent someone to deliver a letter, with the names of seven people listed on his shoulders. The names of these seven people , others may not be very good, but I saw it, but I couldn't help being a little shocked." I was a little confused, Qiao Sen immediately explained: "These seven people are all top jewelry thieves in the world. Gent said in the letter that as long as he gives the order, these seven people will do anything for him. Obviously He was threatening me. And he gave me the address and said that if I made a decision, I could notify him." I asked, "That picture..." Qiao Sen said: "Now that I have the address and he threatened again, I sent someone to follow him. He has been in the house and never left. The photo is in the opposite building, separated by telephoto. It was taken from the window." I thought about it quickly: "When did you decide to ask me to see him?" Qiao Sen said: "When he said that the seven thieves could obey his orders, I originally wanted to find him myself. You are here. Of course, you are the best person to represent me." I suddenly remembered something: "It's weird, he seems to have expected you not to go in person." Qiao Sen looked stunned, and I said: "The secretary of the building where he lives, saw me and asked if you sent him. Of course, Jin Te told him." Qiao Nai turned his head halfway, but didn't respond to my words at all.But I could see that he didn't even dare to look at me. This kind of demeanor was artificial on purpose. Johnson's attitude was very ambiguous.Although he hides it well, it can be seen that he has been covering up. I expressed obvious dissatisfaction: "He wants to participate, are you going to promise him?" Qiao Sen was a little helpless: "Although the seven people may cause trouble, it may not be a big deal, but it is always troublesome. And I have also checked with relevant parties. The identity of Jinte is very mysterious..." I said, "Yeah, I know him well, but I didn't know he was in jewelry theft." Qiao Sen said: "He himself has never stolen anything, but the seven thieves really had contact with him. A month ago, in Geneva. You know, each of the seven thieves is an international The target of the criminal police's attention, seven people suddenly appeared in Geneva at the same time. One can imagine the tension of the Interpol headquarters. At that time, an oil country summit meeting was being held in Geneva, and the international police thought that the seven people were trying to trick the Arabs. , but after investigation, it was not true, these seven people went to Geneva just to meet a man named Gent." I find it extremely strange: "I really can't see how powerful Jin Te is."
