The man's movements are so sensitive, it can be seen that he must be a well-trained person. Sister Lanhua, you let the murderer go!Mu Xiuzhen complained. Magnolia was deep in thought, but said nothing.After a while, she said: Xiuzhen, don't take things too simply. What was written on that paper. head!Magnolia answered simply. What?Mu Xiuzhen was shocked again. head.Magnolia said again: six German words, translated into Chinese.It means human head.She raised a small piece of paper in her hand, and said: There are still two heads here, and the person who rode the motorcycle took four heads and left.

What's the point of a human head? Who knows, let's go back to sleep! Mu Xiuzhen blinked, she had so many questions in her mind that she was not sure what to ask. They returned home and locked the door. Mu Xiuzhen only thought that Mulanhua would definitely express some opinions on this series of mysterious events, but unexpectedly Mulanhua changed into her pajamas and fell asleep. Mu Xiuzhen couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning. She wanted to ask her several times, but she was afraid of waking Mulanhua. It was not until dawn that she finally fell asleep. At that time, the body of the one-legged man had been found by passers-by and reported to the police.

The police paid no attention to this matter, because the one-legged man seemed to be a poor man who died by the side of the road, and that was not a matter worth investigating. But because the place where the incident happened was not far from Mulan's home, Gao Xiang noticed it first. At ten o'clock in the morning, Gao Xiang came to meet the director of the bureau. After discussing for a while, they both felt that this was a good opportunity to restore their friendship with Mulanhua.They appreciated Mulanhua's talent more and more, but because they mistakenly thought that Mulanhua was a thief who stole the treasures of the mayor's wife, they were always embarrassed to meet Mulanhua. At eleven o'clock in the morning, Mu Xiuzhen was still lying down. Doing morning exercises, Director Fang and Gao Xiang came.

Director Fang and Gao Xiang would come, which Mulanhua had already expected. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and sat down. Mu Xiuzhen heard people's voices, and raised her head from the upstairs bedroom door and shouted: Director Fang, Director Gao, are you here to arrest us again? Director Fang and Gao Xiang looked very embarrassed. Xiuzhen, don't be naughty, the two of them came here because a person died on the road not far from us last night, and we were so close that we didn't even know about it! Yes, Mu Xiuzhen replied upstairs: We slept very well at night! As she spoke, she yawned!

Gao Xiang is also a very shrewd person, he immediately felt that Mu Xiuzhen was lying, she didn't sleep well at night, and she still doesn't get enough sleep now. But Gao Xiang's mind was not yet sharp enough to connect Mu Xiuzhen's lack of sleep with the one-legged man who died on the road. Both the host and the guest were talking insignificant polite words, and Mulan pretended to ask casually: Are there any international spies operating in this city these days? No, he heard your name, Ms. Mu, and dare to carry out activities in this city?Director Fang flatters Magnolia to his heart's content.

Nothing special?For example, is there anything new about the activities of the German Parcists? Hey, Gao Xiang feels strange, Miss Mu, why do you ask such a question? Nothing, I was just asking casually.She stood up, and Gao Xiang and Director Fang also left. At the door, Magnolia waved to them and sent them to the car.At this moment, Mulan saw two suspicious people patrolling in front of her house again. Magnolia knew that a series of mysterious events did not end with the death of the one-legged man. Magnolia can't imagine what the matter itself is like.Last night, Mu Xiuzhen thought she was asleep, but she was actually lying on the bed, thinking quietly.

So far, she is still clueless about the whole thing, but she can be sure of a few points: 1. The one-legged man is a German, most likely a member of the Nazi guard Hitler's most trusted unit during World War II.Because the Nazi guards had their numbers tattooed on their wrists, and the one-legged man had such marks on his wrists. 2. The one-legged man knew a plan, and the code name of the plan was the 710 plan, which probably has something to do with the word fire dragon.One-legged man may have died knowing this one plan.And the one who killed One Leg was not the one who snatched the paper from her.Because last night she noticed that the person who picked up the paper had a gun in his waist, and the one-legged man died under the poisonous needle.

3. The one-legged man may spend some time in a wild place.Otherwise, his skin could not be so rough. Apart from these three points, Magnolia knows nothing else. She didn't know what the one-legged man came to peep at her door to get. Maybe the one-legged man wants to get Magnolia's help, maybe not, and what does the word "six heads" on the piece of paper mean? Magnolia's mind was in a mess, and she decided to go out to relax, so that her daily life would not be affected.After noon that day, both she and Mu Xiuzhen went out. It was already evening when the two returned.As soon as they entered the iron gate, they sensed that something was wrong, Mulanhua rushed into the living room, a look of disgust and indignation immediately appeared on her face.Almost all the furnishings in the hall have been moved!

Although everything has been placed in the original place as much as possible, the two of them can still tell at a glance that everything has been moved by others.Mu Xiuzhen cursed and rushed upstairs. Sister Lanhua, the upstairs is the same! Mulanhua sat down, and another question came to her mind: why would someone conduct a thorough search of her residence? Originally, it was not surprising that a person like Mulanhua who specialized in fighting villains was mysteriously searched at home.But it happened at a time like this.But Magnolia felt that this series of events were related. Sister Lanhua, don't we take countermeasures?Mu Xiuzhen's face was full of anger.

We have no idea who is doing the searching, how do we counteract it?Magnolia's expression seemed to be very tired, to see if there was something missing? I've seen it, and there's nothing missing. Forget it, we just have to wait and wait for things to change further. Humph, wait, wait!Mu Xiuzhen angrily hit the coffee table with her fist, and a vase on the coffee table was also knocked to the ground. Magnolia just picked it up and put it away, whistled, and went upstairs to rest. She was not relaxed, but also very nervous, because she knew that things were going on, and.More and more, it has something to do with her.When she went upstairs, she checked and found nothing was missing.

After thinking for a while, she and Mu Xiuzhen ate some sandwiches for dinner. After dinner, they listened to some classical music records.They went to bed together and rested. It was one o'clock in the middle of the night. Mulanhua and Mu Xiuzhen were suddenly awakened by an old, heavy laughter. The two of them leaned forward and sat up together.Mu Xiuzhen reached out and took Magnolia's arm.That kind of laughter came from the living room downstairs.Who would come to their home and laugh loudly in the middle of the night? Both of them couldn't help being shocked. Magnolia turned over, took out the shotgun she made herself from under the pillow, and opened the door. Mu Xiuzhen took a flashlight and turned it on, and the laughter from the living room suddenly stopped. who?Mu Xiuzhen drank loudly. The living room was very quiet, there was no sound at all. The magnolia was moving forward quickly against the wall.Reached the banister of the stairs and jumped down. As soon as she landed, she immediately jumped behind a sofa. There was no one in the living room. She stood up and said: Xiuzhen, come down, there is no one. Mu Xiuzhen came down, turned on the light, and the living room was full of light, but there was no one there. Magnolia is quickly checking the doors and windows.The doors and windows were all shut. When they opened the door, the laughter could still be clearly heard in their ears, but at this moment, there was no one in the hall, no one, and the doors and windows were all closed. Who was laughing just now? Magnolia's gaze slowly scanned the living room, she wanted to make sure if someone was hiding in a hiding place? Sister Lanhua, look!Mu Xiuzhen suddenly let out an exclamation, pointed at the piano and pointed at the hardwood carved human head placed on the piano. Magnolia looked where she pointed. Magnolia was also stunned! She couldn't believe her eyes, but she couldn't believe what she saw! The wooden carved human head was still placed in the old place where Mu Xiuzhen conveniently placed it, but the expression of the human head had changed. It was no longer frowning, but opened its mouth and laughed! Sister Lanhua, Mu Xiuzhen took a step closer to Mulanhua, still pointing at the carved wooden head, which was smiling. Xiuzhen, can a wooden man laugh? But it has opened its mouth wide. Magnolia couldn't help but also couldn't answer.Of the six portraits that Mu Xiuzhen bought back, all of them were sad faces with their mouths closed, and the one on the piano was no exception.When she was playing the piano, she once stared at it for a long time, admiring the rough lines, she remembered it very clearly. But now, the wooden figure has opened its mouth wide, and they have heard laughter. If it's not that the wooden carved head is laughing, then what's the special explanation? Sister Lanhua, I know, Mu Xiuzhen said solemnly: I know, those six heads I bought back must be antiques, they have become When Mu Xiuzhen talked about this, she also felt embarrassed. She was not an ignorant person, so how could she have the nerve to say such a thing as a wooden carving with a human head? Xiuzhen, Mulanhua picked up that head and looked at it carefully. Look, is this head the one you bought back? Is the wood the same? Mu Xiuzhen looked down, shook her head and said: They are very similar, but they are not the same. Magnolia snorted, threw the head to the ground, and said, "Let's search carefully. I'm sure we can find a small radio-controlled tape recorder." Mu Xiuzhen also gradually understood.She showed a dazed look. Not long after they searched in the living room, Mulan found the tape recorder she had expected behind an oil painting. But the magnolia was just taken out for a look and then put back. Miss Orchid.Who wants to scare us? scare us?Xiuzhen, you see things too simply again.All of this can be said to be because of you! Because of me?Mu Xiuzhen said: I have never done anything. You bought those six wooden heads, didn't you? Yeah, so what does that matter. Have you ever asked the owner of an antique shop, how did these six carved wooden heads come about? I asked, and he said a sailor sold it to him. Magnolia, a sailor, pondered. Sister Lanhua, you said that the incident happened because of me, why did you stop talking halfway through? Xiuzhen, are you interested in fishing?Magnolia asked. fishing?Mu Xiuzhen was puzzled. I know you are impatient and don't like fishing, but I have studied fishing. I know that the most important thing for a fish to catch is to have a bait that the fish likes! Oh, Miss Lanhua, you We're going to catch a big fish!Magnolia waved her hands.If Mu Xiuzhen is blocked, all the bait is the five remaining wooden heads, take out your five heads. Mu Xiuzhen was very embarrassed by the five wooden heads, and I threw them into the corner of the attic storage room. I couldn't find them for a while. Xiuzhen, fortunately your five wooden heads were thrown somewhere where they couldn't be found, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to use them to catch big fish, so go find them quickly, and when you find them all, I'll answer your questions. real.Mu Xiuzhen asked happily. certainly. There are too many questions in my mind, you will have to answer me one by one by then! Yes, you go find it. Mu Xiuzhen yawned and walked up. Mulanhua turned off the light in the living room and sat on the sofa to wait.After about half an hour. She heard bursts of old laughter behind that oil painting again. Her guess was correct, the laughter came from that ultra-small tape recorder. They also expected when the tape recorder would be set up.Of course, that was when they went out in the afternoon, and she also knew the reason why her home had been thoroughly searched. The purpose of the searchers was of course the six carved wooden heads. But the searchers only found one. Of course, the searchers didn't expect that what they needed would be thrown into the waste pile by Mu Xiuzhen in a fit of anger. But the searchers thought of a good way. They replaced it with a carved wooden head and installed a small tape recorder.In the middle of the night, the tape recorder was controlled by remote control to make laughter.Then, people will have the illusion that the wooden carved head is smiling. And such a result will definitely cause people to examine the other five carved wooden heads, then the searchers will have a chance to get what they can't find. Magnolia sneered.She is also ready, in her words, she is ready to fish, and use those five wooden heads to catch people who are searching for her house. Forty minutes later, Mu Xiuzhen walked down with her head covered in cobwebs and dusty face, and said, "Okay, I finally found it." Magnolia didn't waste this time either. She used five empty baby bottles and wrapped old newspapers into five balls that looked like carved wooden heads.After Mu Xiuzhen carried the five wooden heads down the stairs, she wrapped the five wooden heads with a tablecloth, but put the five empty milk bottles in Mu Xiuzhen's hands. What is this? Can you act?Xiuzhen. Huh?The fish has not been caught yet, is it going to act again? Xiuzhen, Magnolia is smiling, you are holding these five balls, with a look of fear on your face, go out through the back door, throw the five balls into the grass, and mutter: So it is Things that become refined are scary to death.Do you understand? I see.Mu Xiuzhen nodded. Magnolia looked around, lifted the piano cover, and put in the five carved wooden heads wrapped in a tablecloth. She knew that there must be something strange about the five carved wooden heads, and there might be an astonishing big secret hidden in them. . She naturally wanted to study the five wooden heads, but now she wanted to deal with the person who searched her residence without authorization.The inside of the piano is a very proper storage place. Magnolia walked out of the yard, covered by the shadow of a golden phoenix tree, climbed out of the wall, leaned over, walked around the wall, walked back a few steps, and lay down in the grass, motionless. Not long after she lay down, she saw Mu Xiuzhen coming out. Although Mu Xiuzhen usually likes to mess around, but when it comes to serious things, she is absolutely unambiguous.Holding the five balls of things in her hands, she walked out, murmuring.With that horrified look on his face, a top-notch actor is nothing more than that, and Mulan almost wants to applaud. Following Mulanhua's instructions, Mu Xiuzhen threw the five milk bottles into the grass, read the lines that Magnolia taught her twice, and then retreated.Magnolias waited in the grass. After seven or eight minutes, only one person was seen walking out of a small road shyly. About ten yards away, Mulan saw that the man was holding a small radio control device in his hand and a telescope hanging on his shoulder.Mulanhua thought to herself: God bless him for not seeing me, only seeing Xiuzhen! The man gradually approached the magnolia, and stopped only when he was only three yards away from the magnolia.I looked around for a while. He apparently hadn't spotted the magnolia. After looking around for a while, the man began to search in the grass, and after a while, he found the first empty milk bottle for him.Mulanhua has been patiently looking at him, only to see that the man looks like a Japanese, but he is wearing a Tang suit. He is about forty years old, with a eagle nose and high cheekbones. A very sinister character. Magnolia waited until the person picked up the first empty feeding bottle and the expression on his face changed, as if he knew he was being teased, then she stood up abruptly from the grass. Raise your hand, don't move, you have no chance to resist!Magnolia drank it coldly. The man was shocked and stretched out his hand to his left waist, but Magnolia yelled again: Don't move! The man's right hand was only half a foot away from the gun at his waist, but he finally didn't dare to move anymore, he raised his hand.Mulan took two steps forward and took off the gun from his waist. It was a German military pistol.The output of this pistol is very small, and it is not very common in the outside world. Hitler once named it the Gun of the Brave himself, and he also awarded it to his guards, each with one handle. Magnolia already suspected that the incident had something to do with the Nazi guards, but now she has another proof. My friend, from your design, you are a wise man, and if you are, you should know that it is best to obey me at this time, and I will have a detailed talk with you. Nothing to talk about.The man answered Magnolia in not very pure Chinese. Of course, please go ahead and don't try to resist.Mulan raised the spear of the brave in her hand.She also deftly pulled the safety catch on the gun. The man's face changed color, and he walked towards the direction Magnolia pointed, and Magnolia followed behind him. Just when the two of them, one at a time, came to the back door, something happened suddenly! Under the control of Magnolia.That person had absolutely no chance of escaping, but at this moment, Mu Xiuzhen's scream came from inside the house. Immediately afterwards.There was a loud bang in the room, another very loud sound of glass shattering and another scream from Mu Xiuzhen, all of which came one after another. Magnolia froze abruptly and cried out : Xiuzhen! Magnolia screamed, and took a step forward, the man suddenly turned sideways, leaned over, and bumped into Magnolia.Magnolia raised the Spear of the Brave in her hand, and knocked it on the top of the man's head. She knew something had happened in the house.I have no time to entangle with that person, I just want to knock that person unconscious. But she never thought of it.She knocked down the handle of the gun, and the man's body leaned up sharply, with his hand outstretched, he had already grabbed Mulanhua's wrist, and before Mulanhua could deal with it, his body was thrown out by the man. That fall just happened to throw Magnolia through the back door and into the kitchen.Magnolia stood up in mid-air, rolled over after looking at the ground, and stood up.The spear of the brave in her hand has not been taken away by that person, but when she looked back.That person has disappeared. Of course Mulanhua knew that the man's fall just now was a very high-level skill in judo. First, she was caught off guard, and second, she heard Mu Xiuzhen's exclamation and was eager to see what happened.She stayed there for a very short time, and immediately ran to the living room. Before she turned on the lights, she saw Mu Xiuzhen's body, half leaning on the piano, ready to fall to the ground at any time. Mulanhua ran over and helped her up. Mu Xiuzhen was not dead, but passed out. Mulanhua helped her to the sofa, turned on the light, and Mu Xiuzhen woke up panting. Sister Lanhua, she said angrily: I took those five carved wooden heads away by myself. Magnolia's heart sank.Instead of catching a fish, she lost the bait, a serious failure!What kind of person is he, have you seen clearly? As soon as I came back, Mu Xiuzhen stretched out her hand to press her forehead, and there was a big lump on her forehead, which of course was the reason why she passed out.Pause for a moment in the kitchen.Then I came to the living room, and I saw someone at the piano at a glance, and I yelled loudly.I jumped at him, the man kicked over the piano chair and hit me on the forehead, he smashed the window, jumped out, and left. Have you seen what he looks like? No, it's just that the man is tall and tall, and he looks like the person who snatched the piece of paper from you that night. Magnolia paced back and forth. She stood in front of the broken glass window for a moment, observing carefully, then bent down and picked up a box of matches on the ground.Printed on the match: Tianxiang Hotel. Tianxiang Hotel is a first-class hotel, and the matchbox fell out of the window.Of course, the person fell out of his bag in a hurry when he was leaving, which can also be said to be an excellent clue. However, when Mulan thought that the only thing she knew about the man she was looking for was his tall stature, she couldn't help but smile wryly again.
