Not long after Kensky came in, two more people walked in, and then Kensky said, "You still don't admit that you are a spy, do you?" "I'm not a spy at all," I replied quite calmly. Kensky sneered and said, "Then, let me show you this, or it may restore your memory and know who Mrs. Mirren is. Look, what is this?" Following Kensky's words, I heard the sound of someone pressing the switch of the slide projector, and then, a light shot onto the white wall in front of me, and I saw a clear slide, which was an instrument. Beside the instrument is a hand. The function of that hand is obviously used to compare the size of the instrument, so I can see at a glance that the thing is very small, not much larger than a piece of fingernail. It looks like a camera, but I'm not sure what it is.

I stared at it for a few seconds, confused, and Kensky asked, "What's that?" I was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know, it looks like a camera?" Kensky growled again, and said, "I'm asking you, not asking you to ask me back!" I was thinking about my own plan, so I tried to avoid conflict with Kensky, I just said calmly: "Well, I don't know what this is, I have never seen such a thing before." Immediately after I had finished, I heard a man say something in a low voice, which of course was not addressed to me, and I heard Kensky say at once: "Show him the original, so that his Better memory!"

An officer immediately said: "Yes!" Then, a light shone directly in front of me, and a small table was pushed over. On the small table, there was that thing. I was very curious, and I immediately put the thing in my hand and carefully watch.That thing really looked like a camera. It had a shiny lens, and the rest of it was a gray, hard metal. It looked like a whole, hard to separate. Kenski added, "Perhaps you can tell us how to open it?" I hesitated for a moment, and said, "Did you get this from Mrs. Mirren?" "Yes, our people found her drifting on the water, and after taking her to the submarine, they found this on her body. This must be a camera. It is something we have never seen before. It is a spy product!"

I took a breath and said, "I can explain this thing, but not in the current situation, I need a pair of tweezers, and the person who wants to listen to my explanation should be in front of me to understand." Kensky laughed twice, and said: "This is much better, this way, you may be able to avoid being taken back to China by us, give him a pair of tweezers, go and get it!" Someone went out, came back after a while, and handed me a pair of very sharp tweezers, and the three people who were behind me also came to the small table together.The light also moved a bit so I could see more of it, and I gripped the tweezers nervously.

I tapped the tweezers lightly on the thing, and said: "This thing is very delicate──" I was halfway through speaking, and suddenly I kicked my feet, and the person and the chair all moved backwards, leaning back down!Behind me, there was always an officer pointing a gun at the back of my head. My sudden upturn could make him panic for a moment, but he still couldn't avoid his shooting! That's why I need a pair of tweezers! I leaned back, and the tweezers in my hand stabbed abruptly at the officer's wrist! That sting can never be fatal, but everyone has a natural fear of being hit by a sharp weapon, and the officer is no exception. I stabbed it with the tweezers, and he raised his hand.

Also because of the upward movement of his hand, his gun didn't hit me, but shot out towards the top of the cabin. I raised my left hand and hit his jawbone with a fist, and at the same time twisted him. With his arm, he snatched the gun from his hand, and the man jumped back immediately. I let Kenski ignore it, and jumped in front of those three people. The three people stood up in a panic, but when I reached out, the muzzle of the gun I snatched had already sunk into the stomach of one of them. An inch deep. It was the first time I saw these three people, but even though it was the first time, I could immediately see that the middle-aged man who was starting to gain weight at my gunpoint was the most important of the three one of.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm around, and at that moment, I turned to his back, and the gun in my hand naturally became against his back Well, all of this only took me a few seconds, and I have already gained the upper hand! By the time Kensky drew his oversized army pistol, he was useless, and I was behind the man, under control! The other two of the three people quickly stepped aside. They took two steps before they made a mixed sound of roar and exclamation. But the person I restrained didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.Kensky waved the gun in his hand and said: "Stop, let him go, you must be crazy, let go!"

I didn't make a sound, and let him yell. He yelled for a full minute, and finally stopped panting, but of course I didn't let go. After he stopped talking, I said: "Commander, it seems that you still Hurry up and arrange how Mrs. Mirren and I get out of this submarine!" Kensky roared again, saying: "You are dreaming, you must not!" I tapped the back of the head of the man I restrained with the handle of the gun, making a "pat" sound, and said: "I am not You are dreaming, but you, think about it, if he dies here, what punishment will you receive!"

Kensky opened his mouth wide and stammered, "You, do you know who he is?" I didn't give him a positive answer, but just laughed out loud. At this time, unexpectedly, the guy I restrained also yelled, but he didn't yell at me, but at Ken. ski. He could only hear him yelling: "Do what he says, you know what will happen to you if I die here!" Kensky was at a loss for a moment. The man shouted again: "Quickly ask him, what is he going to do, and do as he says!" Without waiting for Kensky to ask me, I said, "Go to the surface, I believe you have speedboats for me and Mrs. Mirren to leave. I repeat, let us go, you will lose nothing, we are not spy."

Kensky looked at the other two in embarrassment. The faces of those two people were very serious, and they stood still. After a long time, he saw the two of them and nodded. Then Kensky walked out quickly. . I pushed the man, walked a few steps forward, took the thing that looked like a small camera on the table, and put it in the bag. I was about to ask Mrs. Mirren what it was, and then I waited nervously.While waiting, the submarine seemed to have risen to the surface. After about five minutes of groping, Kensky suddenly pushed the door open again and walked in. I asked right away, "Are you ready?"

Kenski's expression was very ugly, and he said: "You can leave and use the mother-child submarine. Have you ever driven a small submarine launched by torpedo tubes?" I said angrily: "Why didn't the submarine rise to the surface? Instead, we were asked to go under the water?" Kensky said: "That's the only way. Submarines are not allowed to surface until they receive special orders. The speed of the small submarine in the first ten minutes after the launch of the torpedo tube is ninety knots per hour. After that, You can also maintain a speed of forty knots per hour, and you can leave safely." I thought for a while and said, "Alright, then please bring Mrs. Mirren to meet me." "She's already outside the door," Kenski replied immediately. I pushed the man and walked towards the door, the door was also opened at this moment, I saw Mrs. Mirren standing at the door, a guard standing behind her, her face was still very gloomy, I hurriedly said, "Mrs. Mirren, we can leave this submarine immediately!" The corners of Mrs. Mirren's mouth moved slightly, and it could be seen that she was not very eager to regain her freedom in her heart, which made me feel very strange, naturally, she would not be happy to be imprisoned here . But, judging from her expression, it seems that it doesn't make any difference to her where she goes, and she doesn't like it at all. Why is such a beautiful and young blonde woman so sad? I don't understand, because I don't understand what kind of person she is! I said again: "Mrs. Mirren, you don't need to panic, we will be out of trouble immediately, we will leave together in a small submarine, and I have captured a big man of theirs!" Mrs. Mirren's mouth moved, but she still didn't say anything. I smiled wryly, then turned to Kensky and said, "Okay, where should we leave? I want you to lead the way. Don't play tricks!" Kensky snorted and strode forward. I hurriedly said to Mrs. Mirren, "Let's go!" Mrs. Mirren walked forward silently, and after a while, I came to the bow of the submarine. I saw a small submarine, which looked like a cigar, and could barely accommodate two people. Kensky said: "You go in first, and then launch through the ballistic." I sneered, and said, "What's the solution? The two of us entered the small submarine. If you don't launch it, are we waiting to die? Go, the three of us go together!" Kensky said coldly: "You can see for yourself, this submarine can't accommodate three people." I also said coldly: "Then you can arrange another method." Kensky said: "As soon as the two of you go in, the small submarine will launch through the ballistic immediately, and you can leave immediately, I assure you of this!" I couldn't help laughing, and said, "I don't think you don't know the value of your country's so-called guarantee. It's better to talk less about guarantees and provide more practical solutions!" The person I restrained also yelled, and said, "Raise the submarine to the surface and let them go. Don't think I have that much endurance, hurry up!" I immediately added: "Don't think that I have such good patience. If you can't think of a way within ten minutes, then, I am like that anyway, and his life──" When I said this, I hit the man's head again with the gun butt, and made a "pat" sound. The man roared in a low voice, obviously his heart was extremely angry.Kensky smiled wryly, "Okay, okay!" He pointed to the small submarine, and said: "Mrs. Mirren can go in first, you can use the automatic control system in the small submarine to shoot yourself out, and in ten minutes, you will be fifteen miles away from us! " I hesitated for a moment, and said, "Open the hatch and let me have a look." Kensky gave loud instructions to the two officers, and the two officers opened the hatch and explained, "The hatch is tightly closed using the principle of magnetism, so it is absolutely safe within a depth of five hundred meters. " I looked into the cabin, and there are two seats. Before the seats, there are many control instruments and panels. Under one of the buttons, the words "auto launch" are written. It seems that Kensky is not talking nonsense. Gossip. I nodded to express my satisfaction, and then said: "Okay, let's put it into the ballistic." Kensky gave another order, many instruments moved, and the small submarine gradually rose. Its head protruded into a hole like a torpedo tube, which fit perfectly, and a red light was constantly flashing.I took a breath and said, "Mrs. Mirren, please sit in first." Mrs. Mirren didn't say anything, and sat in obediently, while I said to the person I restrained in a deep voice: "Stand by the side of the submarine and don't move. As soon as you move, I will shoot immediately. Do you hear me?" ?” The guy boss nodded reluctantly, and I yelled again: "Everyone back off!" Then I jumped into the little sub and flipped a black switch, and the hatch snapped shut and a light on top went on.This is the most important moment in determining whether Mrs. Mirren and I will be free again! I pressed the "auto-launch" button hard, the submarine vibrated violently, and suddenly rushed forward, Mrs. Mirren and I rushed forward, and our heads hit the dashboard . I felt only a sharp pain, and barely fainted, and at the same time, I heard Mrs. Mirren groan and scream.I couldn't understand what she was calling, but I could hear the extreme and uncontrollable panic in her tone. I can't pay attention to Mrs. Mirren for the time being, because I have to control the progress of the small submarine, and I know that the small submarine has indeed left the big submarine.However, when I thought of this, it was already too late! Before I turned on the switch of the radar detection screen, a violent shock happened.The shock was so violent that I couldn't control the situation at all two minutes after the shock happened! My body was thrown up from the seat, the space inside the small submarine was so narrow, but my body was still thrown up, the pain is conceivable, I just instinctively helped head. And at that moment, I had no way of knowing what was going on with Mrs. Mirren, and I almost lost consciousness until I took a big gulp of sea water. The sea water poured in, and my whole body was submerged in the sea water. Until then, I woke up from the semi-conscious state. I struggled violently, and the result of that struggle made my head hurt. crashed into a hard rock.It just made me more sober. When I opened my eyes, the water was full of tumbling bubbles, but I could still see that the submarine was completely destroyed, and what broke my heart even more, I saw Mrs. Mirren was still in the submarine! I'm sure of this because her blond hair floated out from the submarine's opening.I quickly swam forward and reached out to hold her arm.At that time, I was exhausted myself, but I still tried my best to drag her out. Then, I held on to the reef and swam up. Thank God, we are not too deep in the bottom of the sea. Before the air in my lungs is exhausted, my head has come out of the water. I quickly lifted Mrs. Mirren's head so that she also came out of the water. . I took a deep breath and found that it was a group of solitary reefs in the middle of the sea. Its range out of the sea was not large, and the highest point was only one person high from the sea. , it must be completely covered by sea water. But even that was such a small rock, and it made my heart happy enough, for without it I could no longer live! Mrs. Mirren seemed to have fainted. I put her upper body on the reef, and half of her blond hair was still floating in the sea.Then I climbed onto the reef and pulled her body up again.I performed artificial respiration for her, and after five minutes, there was still no movement. I felt that not only Mrs. Mirren, but myself was growing stiff! Because, after five minutes of artificial respiration with no effect, I found out that Mrs. Mirren was dead! There were no injuries on her body, but she may have suffocated to death after being knocked unconscious in the water.She is really dead because she has stopped breathing.This was really an accident that I never expected. At first I thought she was dead, but it turned out she didn't.But now, when I thought that I was with her and could explain all the doubts in my heart from her mouth, she died, dying by my side! I just felt myself, as if I had become a piece of the rock, stiff and numb, not moving at all. I just held Mrs. Mirren's hands tightly. Mrs. Mirren's complexion did not seem to be much paler than usual, and she still looked so beautiful. After I froze for an unknown amount of time, I put my ear to her chest to listen. How I wish I could hear The sound of her heartbeat!But I was disappointed, she was already dead! A dead person's heart doesn't beat naturally, so I couldn't hear any sound. Her eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a slight sadness on her face, but it was still peaceful. I have nothing to do, I can only put her hands on her chest to make her look more peaceful.For the first few hours I just stared at the dead Mrs. Mirren, thinking nothing of doing anything for myself, until it was dark. I began to pace up and down on the reef, and then sat down again. If I could not be rescued within a day or two, then, like Mrs. Mirren, I must die on this reef! Because I had no water, no food, and more importantly, my emotions, so depressed that I was so depressed that I almost didn't want to struggle for a living! I sat there until dawn, my stomach was already cramping with hunger, and I was so thirsty that I felt like my body was cracking.I pulled a few mussels off the reef to munch on raw, but that only made my stomach twitch even more. The sun came up and scorched me like a fireball. The only thing I can remember clearly is the smell of mussels. Everything after that is all vague, fragmented and unreliable. I remember that I was unable to move, that I crawled up to Mrs. Mirren in a trance, and when I took her hand again, I felt that life had left me, and there was darkness in front of my eyes, and darkness in my ears. I can't hear the sound of the waves hitting the reef anymore, and I don't feel anything anymore. When I gradually regained consciousness, I seemed to be floating in the sky. Suddenly, it seemed that someone played a prank and threw many wheat awns on my body, making my whole body itchy. Then, someone put a spicy thing on my nose and mouth, and it seemed that there was a cool liquid flowing into my mouth. What flowed into my mouth didn't look like liquid, it was like life. I could actually open my mouth. Eyes come. I saw at least four people in front of me, and one of them was pouring water on my face. I opened my mouth wide and greedily swallowed the water from him, and then I asked vaguely: " Where am I?" A middle-aged man came to me, biting a pipe, and said, "You are on a fishing boat, who are you, and why did you lie on that dead reef?" My memory has recovered, I took a few breaths and said, "Where's Mrs. Mirren?" The middle-aged man was stunned, and said, "What did you say? Mrs. Mirren?" "Yes," I said hastily, "she should have been by my side when you found me, but she...she was already dead." The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "We only saw you alone, the sea water kept rolling over your body, you hugged a rock tightly, if there were other people around you, you would have been swept away by the sea water long ago gone." I stayed for a while, and said, "Excuse me, what day is it today?" The middle-aged man gave the date. I was unconscious on the rock for two days! I have been in a coma on that reef for two days, forty-eight hours!But during those forty-eight hours, the things I can remember don't add up to more than three minutes. According to the middle-aged man, of course Mrs. Mirren was swept away by the sea. I was dumbfounded, and the middle-aged man asked again: "Who are you?" My mind was extremely confused, but I answered the question immediately, saying: "I am a businessman with a high status. I was drifting in the sea because of an accident. If you can send me back, I will I will definitely send you a very rich reward.” The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "This is impossible, we are fishing!" I immediately said: "I think, the reward I'm going to give you is at least ten times what you'll get when you return home, and as long as you are a crew member on the ship, you can come to me at any time if you have difficulties in the future. " I was afraid that they would not believe me, so after I finished speaking, I added another sentence, saying: "Because you saved my life, and I am eager to go home!" The middle-aged man was naturally the captain. After staying for a while, he said: "Of course, we can send you back immediately, but...but..." I knew that he might not believe that I had so much money to give him, so before he finished speaking, I immediately said: "You don't have to doubt, you have saved me, will I deceive you? I will never break my promise .” The middle-aged man shouted loudly, ordering the sailors, and I could feel the ship sailing fast. I was not able to walk on the deck until the next afternoon, and I stood on the bow all the time, looking at the vast sea.Of course, I'm far away from that pile of rocks. I already know that Mrs. Mirren is dead, and she has been swept away by the sea. Will I never know her mysterious identity?When I stood on the bow, I had already decided that as soon as I got back, I would go to Mexico and see Pastor Zouye.I have no way of knowing who Mrs. Mirren was, but I think the letter must be of great importance. After meeting Pastor Zun Ai, then I will be able to learn the contents of the letter. I sailed in the sea for a total of four days, and on the fourth night, I could already see the familiar lights, and I went home!There were a total of seven crew members on this ship. We landed in a remote place. I entertained them to live in a first-class hotel. The next day, I gave them a huge amount of money as promised for reward.
