Chapter 9 Chapter 8 A Terrible Accident

I also wanted to compromise with him, but of course I couldn't compromise when he was so aggressive and threatened me. I said: "You are wrong. From the beginning to the end, you have asked for me, yes No?" If Deng Shi nodded and said "yes" at this time, then everything would develop differently in the future.But Deng Shi is a standard stubborn donkey! He couldn't hear what I said, and he already expressed a step back, and he still shouted in embarrassment: "I don't beg you, and I will never beg you again. I would rather beg the person I don't want to beg than I won't beg you."

He turned around abruptly and rushed towards the door. But I stopped him in time: "Don't go, where is Hu Ming?" Deng Shi panted and looked at me. I sneered: "I gave you back your hand just now, of course I can cut it off your wrist, tell your followers quickly, let Hu Ming go, and ask him to come back to the hotel quickly. I'll give you two minutes." At this time, it was completely different from more than an hour ago, and I had the upper hand. Blood dripped again from the wound on Deng Shi's right hand. He turned around without saying a word, and went to make a phone call. He was talking on the phone in a native Egyptian language. He thought I couldn't understand, but I I can understand 70% to 80%, I heard that he didn't say anything other than ordering Hu Ming to let go, so I felt relieved.

He put down the phone, and the two of us faced each other in an extremely hostile atmosphere, neither of us spoke. Twenty minutes later, the door opened and Hu Ming came back. Hu Ming pushed open the door, and when he saw Deng Shi, he was stunned immediately, almost daring not to come in. I hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, our scattered people just suffered a little setback." Deng Shi stood up: "Okay, Dr. Hu is back!" I gave this ass a chance again: "Don't you want to take this opportunity to talk to us?" But this guy was really a stupid donkey. He swayed, as if he was drunk, and walked towards the door. When he came to the door, he stood still.

However, he obviously didn't think about what I said, and he sneered: "You will regret it, you will definitely regret it!" After the donkey finished these two sentences, he opened the door and staggered out. Hu Ming looked at me, and looked at almost no room that was not stained with blood: "What's going on, I don't understand, what's going on? Tell me, tell me!" Hu Ming urged me repeatedly, which made me a little annoyed, so I said: "Would you please take your time? How did you get forced out by Deng Shi, can you tell me first?" Hu Ming shook his head and said, "No, tell me first, is the metal piece still there?"

He didn't finish one question, but the second question came up again. I knew that it would be impossible not to tell him, so I told him what happened. Hu Ming also told what happened to him, which was pretty much what I expected. He was forced out by Deng Shi's hand while I was showering.After being forced out, he was imprisoned in the back of a truck, and a big man in that truck watched him. Suddenly, for some reason, someone else came to pat the truck, said a few words, and he was released. After both of us told about our experiences, Hu Mingcai said: "This guy really wants that metal piece. Is there any secret on that metal piece that he must know?"

I said: "Hu Ming, I think we have to divide the work and cooperate." Hu Ming stared at me, "What do you mean? I don't understand." I walked back and forth a few steps: "It's very simple, you do everything you can to study the weird writing on the metal sheet. I believe Deng Shi's secrets are mostly on the metal sheet, if not all." Hu Ming nodded and agreed with me.Then he asked again, "So, what do you do?" "I'm responsible for protecting you so that your research work will not be disturbed. Deng Shi suffered such a big loss and left. Of course he would not let it go. That's why you need my protection."

Hu Ming stared straight at me, as if he still wanted to disagree with me, but he still nodded: "Okay, what about the metal piece?" I pointed to the oil painting and said, "It's still behind." Hu Ming quickly lifted the oil painting, took out the metal piece, and put it in his arms: "Go, I will go to the research institute of the university to study, how about you?" I said, "You'd better have an independent research room." He said: "Yes, I can have an independent research room, but in the process of research, I may need help from others. I don't think you will object to this."

I hesitated for a moment: "When you choose your assistant, you have to be careful. Of course, I will stay outside your laboratory." Hu Ming and I left the hotel together and returned to the university.Hu Ming's research room is on the top floor of the university building. It is a very large room. I first checked the surrounding environment. Except for a door near the corridor, there is no other way to enter the room. I ordered Hu Ming to close all the windows completely, and I sat at the door, of course, I sat indoors. Hu Ming began to look up the text on the metal plate from many classics, and I couldn't help him at all, because his research work is an extremely specialized knowledge, and I couldn't help much.

In the first few hours, Hu Ming studied alone, but after a while, he recruited more and more scholars to study together. They discussed and quarreled. More than a dozen people, almost everyone have different opinions. Under such circumstances, it is quite tasteless to be unable to get in from the side, so I opened the door and walked out. Of course, I will not forget my task, I am out of the research room, but I am still standing at the door. To my displeasure, a lot of people gathered at the door of the research room, most of them are students, they seem to know many authoritative scholars, they are all engaged in the research of a mysterious text, and they keep asking the researcher The room pointed.

But having a large number of people is also beneficial. At least Deng Shi has some scruples if he wants to blatantly fight against us. At this time, although it was outside the door, the debate inside could still be heard. I was pacing back and forth outside the door, and after a while, I saw only three people rushing towards the door of the research room, each with a thick book under their arms, and I quickly stopped the way: "The three are— " The one walking in the front was a thin man with an authoritative look, glared at me, and shouted, "Get out of the way, I'm Professor Baker."

I was almost intimidated by his demeanor, but I still said: "I'm sorry, Professor Baker, Professor Hu Ming is doing research, have you ever received his invitation?" That Professor Baker was very tough, he didn't answer my words, put his hand on my shoulder, and pushed hard: "Go away!" Of course I wouldn't give him a push, I immediately stretched out my hand to hold down his arm. Under other circumstances, I might have twisted his finger bones as soon as I exerted too much force. But now I'm outside the university's research room, so of course it's inconvenient to hurt others. I just exerted a little force, and Professor Baker screamed as if seeing a mummy dancing. At this time, Hu Ming's voice came from the room, and he called: "Professor Baker? Come in, I believe it is the last key, waiting for your explanation." When Hu Ming called out like this, I naturally let go of my hand, and Baker finally pushed me a step away. He opened the door and hurried in, and the two people behind him also walked in. I still wanted to stop those two people, but I just stopped Baker, and it was almost a joke, so I hesitated.And just as I was hesitating, the two people behind Baker also walked in. I was still standing at the door bored, and many of the students were pointing at me, and my attention was also attracted by them. By the time I suddenly realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. The reason why I suddenly felt that something was wrong was because suddenly, there was no sound coming from the room! Just now, there was still a heated debate, but now, it is so quiet that there is no sound at all. Could it be that their research has already achieved results?However, if there are achievements, they will definitely cheer, and Hu Ming will naturally come to call me, why is it so quiet that there is no sound at this time? I pushed the door hastily, but the door was locked inside. I yelled loudly and knocked on the door, but no one answered.The matter was really serious, I slammed on the door hard, and the students surrounding the door also pushed forward. A few strong students, together with me, shouldered the door, and we finally knocked the door open! And when I saw the situation in the laboratory, I almost passed out! My body shook a few times, until I stretched out my hand to hold the door frame, I barely stood still.I took precautions, took precautions, but in the end, something went wrong. There were still a lot of people in the research room, but everyone was lying on the chair or fell to the ground. They were not dead, but passed out in a coma.And the air was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell of anesthetic, and everyone was fascinated by that strong anesthetic. I tried my best to gather my mind, and took a quick look into the research room. I immediately saw that two people and the piece of metal were missing. The piece of metal was originally placed on the table, and Hu Ming kept checking it with a magnifying glass. At this time, Hu Ming was still holding the magnifying glass in his hand, but the metal piece was gone. The two people who were missing were the two who came in with Professor Baker. I really wanted to slap myself twice, because not only was I so negligent that I didn't question these two people, but I didn't even know what these two people looked like. Can't remember anything! I only remember that they held books under their arms and looked like scholars, but judging from what happened now, the two of them are certainly not scholars. I stood at the door and didn't have the courage to take a step. Behind me, several people were shouting: "Call the police, hurry! Quick!" I sighed a long time, turned around, and sat down at the door, my mind was in a mess, because Deng Shi finally won, which is really unreasonable. Fifteen minutes later, all the unconscious professors and scholars were sent to the hospital. As for me, I was taken to the police station and placed in a small office. The police officers treated me very politely, and I was happy to take this opportunity to calm my messy mind. Those two people acted so cleanly, which showed that they were masters in this area. So, who are they? Moreover, what would happen after the metal piece fell into their hands, or in Deng Shi's hands? I thought for a long time, but there was no result at all. At this moment, a middle-aged man pushed the door and walked in. The middle-aged man looked bloated and slow-moving, and his hair was already gray, but from his eyes, it could be seen that he was a very intelligent person. He came to me, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself: "My name is Ladakh, and I am the head of the National Police Department—I will take over all difficult matters first." I nodded very weakly: "My name is Wesley." "We already know, Mr. Wei, of course we are not asking you because you have a special certificate from the international police, but we want to know the whole story of this matter." I shook my head discouragedly: "It's useless, even if I tell you, you won't believe it." "No, I believe that Egypt is an ancient country. In this mysterious and ancient country, all incredible things may happen." I looked at him for a while, is he someone I can cooperate with?It appears he is.If I think he can cooperate, then of course I will tell him everything. I sighed: "It's a long story." He smiled and said, "You might as well speak slowly." I thought about it, and then I started talking. Ladakh is an excellent listener. When I was talking about the entanglement between myself, Deng Shi and Hu Ming, and Deng Shi’s limb separation activities, I have never seen the surprised look on Ladakh’s face. I have seen it on any face, but Ladakh has never made a sound until I finish speaking. This proves that he is a surprisingly rational person, he was able to hold back the extreme curiosity in his heart and not ask questions! After I spoke, he looked at me for a while, and then said: "Are you sure that everything you said is not from your imagination, or... is it a hallucination?" He asked such a question, which was in my expectation. I don't blame him, and I don't need to argue, I just said: "I think Hu Ming should wake up now, you can go Ask him, and you'll know what I'm talking about." Ladakh sighed and shook his head. Although he didn't make a sound, his demeanor made me feel a chill all over my body! I quickly stood up and leaned over: "How is it?" Ladakh's voice was very heavy, and he said slowly: "Not only Hu Ming, but also all the scholars in the laboratory... Alas, this is an inestimable loss for our academic community." I said loudly: "What's wrong with them, tell me quickly, they passed out from the anesthetic, didn't they wake up?" "No, they are all awake, but the anesthetic contains strong toxicity, completely destroying their brain and nerve tissue, and they have become—" When Ladakh talked here, he stopped for a while, and I gasped: "Idiot?" Ladakh nodded without making a sound. I hurriedly said: "How is this possible? As far as I know, the anesthetic that can turn people into idiots is just one of the secret weapons of the secret service of a powerful country. How could anyone else have it?" Ladakh looked at me and sighed again: "So, this question is really very simple." I was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "You mean: the person who snatched the metal piece is a spy of a certain country?" Ladakh said: "Besides this one possibility, there is no second possibility, because only they have this thing." I said again: "Maybe Deng Shi──" But I only spoke four words, and I stopped talking. That's because as soon as I mentioned Deng Shi's name, I immediately remembered the ferocious look he showed at the door of the room when he left after suffering heavy losses and suffering a big loss. We, say we will regret it. Then, after he had made up his mind, he went to a special agent of a certain country for help. Isn't this very possible? Of course, although I am frustrated now, if Deng Shi really finds a certain country's spies, then he must be the one who suffers and regrets. Big mistake! I stayed for a while before Ladakh said: "Mr. Wei, can you see the seriousness of the matter?" I nodded and said, "Yes." Ladakh reached out and pressed my shoulder: "So, you have no room for excuses. We need your help in the investigation. You must take the responsibility of fighting them." Ladakh's words were like tens of thousands of heavy burdens that fell on me in an instant. I wanted to dodge, but the burden was already pressed down, and I couldn't dodge it. I had no choice but to say weakly: " Actually, this...is not my responsibility." But Ladakh emphasized: "It is your responsibility, Mr. Wei, the Chinese are the most grievances. Professor Hu Ming is your good friend. Do you think he has become an idiot?" I immediately asked back: "Is he still saved?" Ladakh said: "I don't know, or there is, or there is no, all of this will not be answered until we smash the opponent's lair and achieve a complete victory." There was a twitch in my heart.If Hu Ming just became an idiot, it would be terrible! I walked back and forth with my hands behind my back, and Ladakh said again: "Our equipment here is second-rate, but our people's determination to obey your command is first-rate!" I really have no way to refuse. Ladakh is right, I am responsible, and I can't refuse at all. I stopped pacing, looked up, and said, "Okay, where should I start?" Ladakh's answer was simpler. He stretched out a finger and ticked me: "Follow me." I walked out, and I followed behind him. We walked through a corridor and came to a conference room. There were already seven or eight people sitting in the conference room, and the atmosphere was very serious. As soon as Ladakh and I entered, all the people stood up, and Ladakh patted me on the shoulder: "Everyone, this is It is an honor for us to have a legend for whom we have long been known, Mr. Wesley, who will lead us in this endeavor." Ladakh actually introduced me to everyone in this way, which really made me feel extremely flattered, and I quickly sat down after a few polite words.After sitting down, Ladakh said: "The enemy's action has caused our country to suffer huge losses, but we know who did it. This is the embassy of this country." When Ladakh talked about this, the lights in the meeting room went dark, and a wall reflected a rather magnificent building, which was an embassy of a certain country.Ladakh said: "All the secret agents of a certain country are hiding in the embassy. This way, they can be prevented from being captured. Therefore, if we want things to have results, we must sneak into the embassy!" When he was talking here, the slide changed again. It was a wall next to the embassy, ​​close to the ground, and there was an iron cover for the sewer on the ground. After an uncomfortable journey, we can go to the cellar of the embassy. According to the latest report of our intelligence personnel, the other party has not been aware of this secret." The slide changed again, and it was a cellar. Ladakh pointed to a big rock with a pointer: "Push away this big rock, people can come out, and then, along this iron ladder, go up to the kitchen of the embassy." The slide changed to another one, which was the ground floor plan of the embassy.Another one is on the second floor, and another one is on the third floor. Ladakh said: "This floor plan is the information we obtained very early. It has a history of seven years. During these seven years, we don't know if the internal situation has been changed." I nodded: "I see. Are there any miniature drawings of these three floor plans that I can take with me?" "Yes, we will prepare immediately." I asked again: "What is the main purpose of my mission?" "It's to save those scholars. As far as we know, that anesthetic may have an antidote." I asked, "So, about Deng Shi—" Ladakh immediately interrupted me: "This is not within the scope of our work, you should understand." I was stunned for a while, when I first heard Ladakh say this, to be honest, I didn't understand.But after Ladakh spoke, he immediately looked at me with a very strange look, so I understood! Whether he believed what I said about Deng Shi or not, he didn't want this weird thing to be known again! At the same time, I also understand that it is very slim to find an antidote, because "looking for an antidote" is just a cover, and this cover is used to cover up the truth of the matter: Deng Shi's secret, metal Pieces of secrets! So I nodded: "Yes, I understand." Ladakh solemnly announced again: "Tonight, we will start our operation. Mr. Wei sneaked into the embassy of a certain country, and he will risk his life in the embassy of a certain country to investigate everything──" When he said this, he turned his head and glanced at me. Then, he added: "Wesley may not have the opportunity to bring the things he investigated out of a certain country's embassy!" When he said this, he paused again. The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense.Although anyone can know that sneaking into a country's embassy to do work is extremely dangerous, and once discovered, it is absolutely unreasonable. Therefore, at that time, everyone's eyes were focused on me, no matter whether those people's eyes were admiration or sympathy, but one thing was the same, that is, in their eyes, I seemed to be a dead person. people who have been around for a long time. Ladakh took a deep breath in the silence, and then said: "So, we have prepared special communication equipment for Mr. Wei to use—" When he was talking, a man stood up, and the lights in the meeting room came on. He held a velvet box in his hand, and came to me, opened the velvet box, and I saw the things in the box. Yes, it's a tooth. I was a little baffled and looked towards Ladakh. Ladakh picked up the tooth: "This is an ultra-short wave radio communicator. The ultra-short wave mega-frequency is very peculiar, and it is not easy to be intercepted halfway." I quickly said: "That's not good, I have a mouthful of teeth, they are all very good, there is no room for that thing." Ladakh smiled and said: "Although our country is by no means advanced, there are still first-class dentists. You can rest assured about this." I wanted to protest again, but in a flash, I stopped speaking, because just now, Ladakh has made it very clear that once I sneak into the embassy of another country, there is little chance of surviving. When life and death are still uncertain, wouldn't it be too ridiculous to haggle over a single tooth? I said, "OK, but how does this thing work?" Ladakh said: "It's very simple. After it's in your mouth, it's on your upper jaw. You only need to tap your upper and lower jaws, and we can get a signal. You can use a password or the most common Morse code." Come and send a message, you can send it at any time." I forced a smile: "Then I have to be very careful when I eat." Ladakh and several other police officers didn't seem to appreciate the humor of my words, and they didn't even smile, and I stopped laughing. Ladakh added: "As for the dentist, we have already made an appointment. You can go there after the meeting. There are also several self-defense weapons for you to choose from. Please take a look at them first." Another police officer, carrying a box, came to me. The police officer opened the box, and I couldn't help being amazed.Human psychology is extremely strange. The research on the tools to kill the same kind has always been at the forefront of the times. Until now, people have not been able to completely cure the most popular cold, but they have advanced to the hydrogen bomb that can kill hundreds of millions of people. (Press in 1986: Cold, it is still tormenting people!) In that box, of course there was no hydrogen bomb, but there were dozens of various small killing tools in the box. After listening to the police officer's explanation quietly, I took three of them. Among the three things I took, one was a false finger, which was actually just a section at the tip of the finger, about half an inch long, which was put on the middle finger of the right hand. If you look carefully, the middle finger is half an inch longer, no easy to spot. However, there are seven poisonous needles in the half-inch long nails, which can be shot out in an instant, within five steps, killing people instantly.
