Chapter One Although the winter in the south came late, it finally came. In the middle of the night, the cold wind is howling, and it doesn't feel like it in the urban area, but in the suburbs, it is full of fallen leaves, extremely bleak. This is a very secluded suburb, but there are also several gorgeous villas, and the iron gates of each villa are tightly closed.But there is one exception. That two-story Spanish-style villa had creepers all over the walls.Its door was open, and a motorcycle was parked outside.At this time, from the long window of the living room, there was a dim light flashing.

The twilight light came from a flashlight. The hall was very dark, so I couldn't see who the person holding the flashlight was. I just saw a dark figure, quite tall, clinging to the wall. standing. The aperture of the flashlight is not strong, but moving around in the hall, it can be seen that the furnishings in this villa are extremely gorgeous. Suddenly, the light of the flashlight stopped on the emerald green carpet in the middle of the hall. On the carpet, a person was lying curled up. It was a dead man. The dead man was really too ugly to die, so when the dim yellow light from the flashlight shone on the face of the dead man, the light vibrated a bit, making the person holding the flashlight startled.

It was no longer a human face, but just a piece of blood and flesh! With a snap, the flashlight went out, and the living room was once again pitch black. The man took another step back and came to a corner of the living room. His heart was very confused. Now, all he knows is that a person died, and he died from a new type of bullet. After the bullet hits the target, it will explode slightly, so the face of the deceased is bloody and bloody. one slice! He knew that that kind of bullet rarely appeared on ordinary occasions, except for the secret service departments of a few big countries, which were used for assassination, and he had only heard of it.

But now, the dead people lying in the hall were indeed killed by such bullets. He was at a loss for everything except this, which he was certain of. He didn't even know why he came here! In the big living room, it was very dark and very silent, only the man stood there blankly. About five minutes later, the whine of a police car was suddenly heard, breaking through the silence of the cold night and coming to the bungalow. The person who stopped in the darkness was startled suddenly, turned around and ran up the stairs, his steps were nimble and light, just like a black panther. In an instant, he was upstairs.

When he got upstairs, there was already a banging sound from the gate. The man hesitated on the stairs, as if he was thinking about whether he should open the door. But he finally didn't open the door, but ran into a bedroom and opened the window.Looking out, he turned over and jumped out of the window. When his body was in mid-air, he curled into a ball. The window was about fifteen feet high from the ground, but when his feet landed on the ground, his body straightened abruptly, and he jumped two feet higher. He turned around and ran towards the back street. In the meantime, they left the street.

He hurried along the sidewalk for a dozen yards, stopped under a lamppost, and lit a cigarette. In the light of the street lamp, one can see that he is a thin but very handsome man.Has a typical gentleman's demeanor. He was wearing a gray pea suit, the material and stitching were of the highest quality, which made his demeanor even more extraordinary, and the posture in which he snapped the gold Dunkel lighter in his hand was more aristocratic. The movie niche, a person like him, must not be connected with the incident of jumping out of the window. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, watched the two calling police cars drive forward, and quickly crossed the road.

Just at this moment, a taxi drove over slowly. He raised his hand: Taxi! The taxi stopped beside him, he opened the door, stepped into the car, and looked back again. Sir, the taxi driver's voice is very low, where are you going? Fengming said. The taxi drove forward and turned a corner. The taxi driver's voice was too low, and he murmured again. Sir, what a wind! The man began to pay attention to the taxi driver, humming. It's cold, the taxi driver turns the steering wheel, and the car makes a sharp turn. It's hard to do business, isn't it? There are drivers who are easy to talk to, but this driver seems to be talking too much.He straightened his body, and his heart was already alert.

But at this moment, the driver suddenly turned around. He was originally wearing a peaked cap with the peak pulled down very low, but when he turned around, he stretched out his hand and pushed the peak of the cap up, exposing his entire face, and let out a grin. Dao: Gao Xiang, you would never have thought that I would change my career to become a taxi driver! A look of astonishment immediately appeared on the man's thin face, but he didn't exclaim in surprise. He leaned over, his arms were like snakes, and he was already wrapping around the taxi driver's neck! The taxi driver let out a gurgling sound in his throat, and took his hands off the steering wheel to pull the man's arm away.

The car lost control and swooped forward like a wild horse. At this moment, there was a sudden slap on the rear glass of the car; when the man wanted to turn his head, he was already a step slower, and a gust of cold wind swept into the car, and a cold gun barrel had been caught on the back of his head. Withstood. At the same time, a sneering voice came from the back of his head, with a sneer, he said: Mr. Gao, the tall knight, never thought we were all here! The voice was full of ridicule, and it immediately turned to drinking: let go! The man called Gao Xiang by these two people let go of his arm, and the driver quickly clenched the steering wheel and turned it sharply. The tires rubbed against the road and made an extremely piercing scream. However, it turned around at a distance of three feet and did not hit it.

Put your hands on your head.The voice behind him ordered.Gao Xiang folded his hands and put them on top of his head. In that posture, on the ring finger of his right hand, a big ruby ​​ring looked extraordinarily shiny. The driver drove the car very fast, and the streets in the cold night were very quiet, enough for him to drive fast. Behind Gao Xiang, the person who held the back of Gao Xiang's head with a pistol squatted in the trunk of the car. It turned out that the trunk lid of the car had already been removed, and it was covered with a heavy tarpaulin.When the taxi came to Gao Xiang's side, even a person as shrewd as Gao Xiang would not check the trunk of a taxi.And the rear window glass of the car had already been cut with a hole, just enough to fit a hand in. Of course, the hand was holding a gun.

All this, when it just happened, Gao Xiang couldn't help being baffled in his heart. Because there is absolutely no room for another person behind him in the car, why would someone stand behind him and point a gun at him? But when the car continued to drive forward, he could see the situation behind from the reflections of the windows on both sides of the car.He didn't notice it for a while, and it has fallen into the opponent's hands. But at this time, there was no panic on his face, but a complacent look on his face. That's what makes him great, and that's why he can't fall down in a life full of adventure and legend. Taking this opportunity, let me introduce Gao Xiang's character. Gao Xiang is just one of his countless names. His names are so numerous that even he himself can't remember them all. They can be changed according to different needs. On the surface, Gao Xiang is an expert in shopping malls. He is only in his early thirties, but he already owns a very large import and export firm, and his business is booming. People call him the most promising person in the shopping mall.In the social activities of the upper class, he is indispensable. But in secret, like many people, he can't help but do some illegal activities. However, our Mr. Gao refuses to admit the word illegal. It is said that the activities he does are only beyond the reach of the law. For example, there is a well-known gold smuggling syndicate in the local area. It is so powerful and the smuggling methods are so ingenious that the police are helpless. But sometimes, a large amount of gold will suddenly disappear during the smuggling process, making the big smuggling group feel guilty for it. This is Gao Xiang's supernatural power. For another example, a certain rich man has so many banknotes that he can't even count them himself.The common problem of rich people is that they don't trust people, and of course they don't hire people to algebra banknotes. Therefore, Gao Xiang volunteered, he would secretly open the wallet on a dark and stormy night, and put a small part of the banknotes in his own pocket, so as to reduce the burden of the rich man! Another example is that a local drug dealer prepares a large amount of cash to buy drugs from a representative of a drug dealer in a foreign country. The representative of the drug dealer, after receiving a large amount of cash, handed over a large bag of first-class flour to the local drug dealer! Gao Xiang earned a considerable amount of income through this kind of activity. Occasionally, he would donate a small part of it to charity in the name of an anonymous person. As time passed, he was actually called a grand thief who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, but he himself But never thought so. He has been engaged in this kind of activity for more than a year, and of course he has made many enemies. Now, those two people in the taxi are naturally his enemies. But Gao Xiang couldn't think of any incident where he had a grievance with these two people, he just thought the driver was familiar. He thought for a while, and concluded that these two people must be small characters, otherwise, how could he not remember them? Gao Xiang felt even more at ease, small characters are the easiest to deal with!He even rests his legs comfortably! But what happened tonight is worth thinking about carefully!Gao Xiang was thinking in his heart. He looked out at the dark street, recalling what happened tonight. Half an hour ago, he was still lying in the warm bed, and next to him was a half-naked beauty. Incidentally, Gao Xiang is at the age of a young man, and he always has so many money in his pocket. Money, so the woman by his side is different almost every day. But there are also similarities, that is, they are all so plump and beautiful, with a variety of styles. They all want to capture Gao Xiang's heart with their beauty and grace, but none of them succeeds. Gao Xiang looked at the woman who was dressed like a doll beside him as if appreciating antiques under the soft light and charming light music. The woman said in Yiqika, not knowing what to say. Gao Xiang smiled contentedly, and just as he was about to turn off the light, the phone rang.Gao Xiang's body immediately sat up straight. Don't listen!The woman said in a thick nasal voice. But Gao Xiang had already reached out and grabbed the receiver. He has a lot of residences, and naturally each residence has a telephone, but not many telephone numbers are disclosed, and there are a few telephone numbers, which are used by his subordinates to notify him when there is any emergency. He picked up the receiver and remained silent. A very anxious voice came from the other side: Is it Mr. Gao?I'm He Tianxiong! As soon as the three words He Tianxiong came to Gao Xiang's ears, Gao Xiang's legs had already stepped out of bed. Well, what are you doing? The girl on the bed skillfully covered her half-naked chest with her long hair, making her posture more charming and beautiful. But Gao Xiang didn't look at her at all. He Tianxiong, his voice is very serious, I have no relationship with you, why are you looking for me late at night? Gao Xiang knew about He Tianxiong. He Tianxiong was not only noticed by the local police, but also by the international police force, because there were several big jewelry smuggling cases related to him. Moreover, Gao Xiang has heard people say that jewelry smuggling is just a way for him to cover up his identity. A person's identity needs to be disguised as a smuggler. One can imagine the terrible nature of the work he was originally engaged in.That's right. What Gao Xiang heard was that He Tianxiong was a spy serving a certain big country. Because he took advantage of his status as a smuggler, the spies from other countries would not pay attention to him, so he achieved outstanding results. In the past few days, He Tianxiong's actions have not only attracted the attention of the police, but also people like Gao Xiang. That's because a European scientist living in Myanmar invented a wonderful weapon. If this weapon is manufactured on a large scale, all the guns in use in the world today will become waste. To put it simply, this kind of weapon makes the light beams form a straight line and pass through the person's body, leaving no scars on the person's body, but the tissues in the body are completely destroyed, and they die within one tenth of a second! A sample of that weapon was made by that scientist, and together with the pattern it made, it has been purchased heavily by a country with aggressive ambitions in Southeast Asia.It is widely rumored that the price paid by this country is 200,000 pounds. It will be delivered and paid locally, and then the secret agents of that country will bring the sample and manufacturing pattern of this secret weapon back to their country. . Two hundred thousand pounds, this is a very huge number, and it is inevitable that it will attract the attention of all people from three mountains and five mountains. But what that weapon, the weapon that radiates death, will look like, and by what means it will be brought, no one knows.There is only one point of information obtained from various sources, and that is: He Tianxiong is the receiver of the goods in this city.Through his hands, the death light weapons and production patterns will be transferred out. In the past few days, there is not one person like Gao Xiang who wants to get his hands on this huge sum of 200,000 pounds, but everyone knows how powerful He Tianxiong is. Many people have gone through detailed investigations. After thinking about it, he thought it would be useless to fight against He Tianxiong, so he gave up, but Gao Xiang didn't! Two hundred thousand pounds, which can make Gao Xiang comfortable for a long time. He has been sending people to secretly monitor He Tianxiong's actions for the past few days, but he never thought that He Tianxiong would call him in the middle of the night! Gao Xiang, listen up!He Tianxiong's breath is short and his voice is very anxious, I want to see you right away, I have something very important to tell you, come right away! Thoughts quickly turned in Gao Xiang's mind. In a moment, he asked himself and asked hundreds of questions: What does He Tianxiong want me for?Does he have something important to say to me? However, before he could ask those questions, the other party had already closed the line. Gao Xiang held the microphone and stayed for a moment. The woman's snow-white arm hooked his head and neck, and said in a strong nasal voice: Ha, dear, are you still asleep? Gao Xiang roughly pushed that arm away, jumped up, and rushed into the next room, which was a special room for each of his residences. In just two minutes, he had already dressed, and , hid all the tools that might be used in the adventure, and walked out again. The woman also stood up, her eyes widened, and she said, "Where are you going?" Gao Xiang didn't look back, and said: A friend is ill, I'll go to see him. You, your woman got up in a hurry, took me out of the nightclub, and just left? Gao Xiang has already opened the door.There is money in the drawer of the bedside table, take as much as you like! I took them all. How about it?The woman's eyes are full of style again. That's up to you!He slammed the door shut. As soon as Gao Xiang closed the door, the woman jumped up from the bed at an unexpected speed.Pulling the sagging bra straps, ran to the window, parted the corner of the curtains, and looked down. The window is a French window, and outside is a very spacious balcony. When the woman opened a corner of the curtain and looked out, she was only checking whether Gao Xiang had reached the street, but she didn't find that there was a man on the balcony. The figure flashed suddenly. The figure was clearly lying outside the window, observing the situation in this bedroom. At this time, the figure flashed into the darkness and hid. The woman stood in front of the long window, and after a while, she saw Gao Xiang crossing the road. In less than three minutes, Gao Xiang had stopped a taxi and drove away.A smile appeared on the woman's face. That kind of smile is very sinister and terrifying, and it doesn't quite match her charming figure and beautiful face. She twisted her slender waist like a water snake, came to the phone, dialed the number, the phone rang seven times, put down the handset, and dialed the same number again, this time, the phone rang, Then someone picked up the microphone, the woman's voice was still very low, but it was no longer as sexy as before. Hawaii Report.she says. San Francisco is listening.There was a thick man's voice. he's gone.The woman only said three words, then put down the receiver, she got dressed very quickly, picked up her handbag, put on her coat, opened the door and went out. Before she could close the door, she turned around again. When the woman was making a phone call, the black shadow hiding on the balcony was already stuck to the window, looking in. When the woman turned around, the black shadow jumped to the side again. The woman came to the bedside table and opened the drawer. Sure enough, there were several stacks of banknotes in the drawer. She took two of them, put them in her handbag, and flew towards the bed she had just been lying on. Kiss, said: Goodbye, Mr. Gao! She laughed smugly, walked out the door, and slammed the door shut. After a while, she appeared on the road, a car drove by, and she stepped into the car. The lights in the bedroom hadn't been turned off yet, and the black shadow hiding on the balcony started to move. He took out a small knife, scratched a few times on the glass, stretched out his finger, and with a bang, a small hole for his hand appeared on the glass window. Then, he reached in, easily opened the door, and walked in. The room is filled with the scent of the famous and expensive perfume, and the warm and gentle atmosphere is naturally much more comfortable than braving the biting cold wind on the balcony. So, when he entered the room, he stretched and let out a sigh of relief. The lights in the room have not been extinguished, but there is no way to see who is the person who entered the room. Because, he was wearing a special dress similar to work clothes, which covered his whole body, and even his head was covered by the linen cloth, with only a pair of eyes exposed outside. All he could see was shrewd, courageous, and wise eyes shining in his eyes. After stretching for a while, he opened the curtains and looked out. The street was very quiet, and there was no one on the balcony. He went directly to the bedside table, his purpose obviously didn't care about money, because there were banknotes in the drawer of the bedside table, but he didn't even look at them, his eyes were fixed on the wires of the telephone. Suddenly, he picked up the wire connecting the handset and the telephone, and examined it carefully. After about a minute, he discovered that there was a very thin silver wire stuck on the telephone wire. A look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he followed the silver wire to the wall near the bedside table. The wall was covered with wallpaper, and it seemed that there was no flaw, but the man tapped his finger on the wall, and immediately found that there was a sound coming from a place, which was very hollow.The man slammed his palm against the wall, only to hear a slap, and he opened a hidden door about a foot in size. An answering machine was installed inside the hidden door. ! The man stood up, lifted the receiver, the tape started spinning, and the answering machine stopped when he put the receiver down. That answering machine, apparently connected to the phone, can record everything on the phone! The man put down the receiver, squatted down again, and pressed the button on the answering machine. He could only hear the sound of dialing the phone a few times before, then the sound of the phone ringing seven times, and then, There was a snap, the sound of the line being pulled up, and then, the sound of dialing the number again. Coming down again, it was the woman's voice! Hawaii Report. San Francisco is listening. he's gone. There was a click.Both sides took the line. The man turned the tape upside down.Listened to it again.This time, he took out a stopwatch and recorded the time when the dial dial rotated when the woman dialed the phone twice. According to the rotation time of the telephone dial, it is possible to know what number is being dialed. The man obviously got a satisfactory answer. He took out a small book and wrote 081487 in six Arabic letters on one page. Then, he closed the hidden door, put the silver wire on the telephone line back where it was not easy to find, opened the door, looked out, and walked out with extremely light steps! At that time, Gao Xiang was in a taxi. Naturally, Gao Xiang didn't know, after he left, what kind of things did that beautiful girl who met him in a nightclub and hit it off immediately after seeing him do. And of course that beautiful girl didn't know that after he left, someone else would come in, and she didn't know that Gao Xiang had a recording device on the phone, so that not only the person behind him, but also the phone call she made content, and knew the phone number she dialed. Everyone thinks that they are the most shrewd person, and they are on their way to victory, but the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole waits behind, there are still strong hands among the strong!In the upcoming battle between dragons and tigers, no one knows who will survive and who will die! After Gao Xiang left the residence, he had already thrown that woman out of the sky. He just kept thinking about what He Tianxiong asked him to do, and whether He Tianxiong felt that his action was too much attention, and it was difficult for him to do it alone.Need your own helper!If that's the case, then, as long as the conditions are right, I can agree. He remembered that he didn't need to put in much effort, maybe he could have a large reward waiting for him, and he couldn't help but a smug smile appeared on his face.
