She came to the door of the rooftop and opened the door without any effort. There was also a photoelectric alarm installed on the door frame, but the last pair of small light bulbs were about a foot and a half off the ground, and Magnolia fell down. , crawled over carefully. After passing that door, there are several steps of stairs that are also painted black.Magnolia was careful not to make any noise, went down the stairs, turned a corner, and saw the corridor. The corridor is only five or six feet wide. On each side, there are three or four rooms. The doors of each room are closed, but only one door is open. The door opposite to the open door has a clear sign. Three words for archives.

Magnolia walked carefully in the corridor until she reached the door. The person inside who was walking back and forth is still walking back and forth. She also heard people talking inside. Here comes number three. Do you know what special mission this time is? I don’t know, don’t ask too much, don’t talk too much! The voices in the room fell silent. Those who were working were obviously small roles in the secret service, because they didn't even know the content of this special mission. But even a small character will definitely yell loudly when they see someone opening the door of the archive room opposite with a lily key.

She looked at the door of the archive room, she was so close to it, she could almost step over it.Moreover, based on her experience, she has already figured out what kind of key should be used to open the door lock. She can open the door of the archive room in only two seconds. However, she did not have this opportunity. She waited for a few minutes, and the people in that room obviously had no intention of closing the door. Magnolia quietly returned to the roof. How about it?Mu Xiuzhen asked anxiously. no result.Magnolia shook her head. Oh, how good this is!As Mu Xiuzhen spoke, she couldn't help knocking on the big water tank with her fist.

She knocked once, made a trembling sound, quickly withdrew her hand, and said with a wry smile: Sister Lanhua, don't scold me. Magnolia jumped forward, stretched out her fingers and flicked the water tank lightly, a smile appeared on her face. Xiuzhen, not only do I not scold you, but I also want to thank you. thank you Yes.You figured out a way for me! I thought of a way?Mu Xiuzhen was even more puzzled. You see, this big tank, at least a thousand gallons of water, it's full Ah, I see! Hush!Mulanhua didn't want Mu Xiuzhen to say more, she took out a six-purpose knife from the bag, put the tip of the knife on the solder, and dug vigorously. After a while, a stream of water shot out, and the solder had been loosened. up.

Then, the sprayed water became bigger and bigger, and when Magnolia picked up a piece of white iron the size of a palm, the water accumulated in the water tank leaked out like a torrent! Magnolia made a gesture to Mu Xiuzhen, and they both jumped to the door and closed it. In less than three minutes, the water had leaked down through the crack of the door, and in less than two minutes, someone shouted: "Wow, it's flooded, the water tank on the roof is leaking!" Go check it out! Don't forget to turn off the photoelectric switch! There was a sound of footsteps, the door was opened, and a person rushed over. However, he only took a step, and Mulanhua took a step forward, pointed the handle of the flashlight at the waist of the person, and said in a deep voice: Hold still, there's a pistol pointed.

The man immediately raised his hands up. They shouted loudly, saying that the leak in the water tank is too big for you alone to plug it up, so they all need to come up. Call?The man hesitated. Don't you?The flashlight on his waist stretched forward. Call!Call!Call!The man was almost crying, if you don't do what I tell you, I'll shoot you right away. Come up quickly, there is a cry in that person's voice, the leak in the water tank is so big that I can't stop it alone, you all come up! As soon as the man finished yelling, Magnolia struck the man's neck with a palm, and the man turned sideways and fell down.

As soon as the man fell, another person rushed up, but Mu Xiuzhen was already at the door, and as soon as the man took a step, Mu Xiuzhen hit him with a brick, his body softened, and Mu Xiuzhen dragged him aside.The third person came again, and Magnolia knocked him to the ground in the same way. The fourth person, before he stepped out of the door, Magnolia rushed over, bumped into the person on the dark stairs, immediately reached out and grabbed the clothes on the person's chest, and slashed at his neck heavily. He slapped him and put the man on the stairs. All four have been resolved!

She can have about two minutes. Because in two minutes, the water will definitely leak to the second floor, and the people on the second floor will also come up to see it. So, taking advantage of every second of those two minutes, she jumped down a few flights of stairs, rushed into the hallway, and, already holding the chosen key in her hand, reached the door of the archives and immediately unlocked it. , pushed the door in, and closed the door. As soon as she entered the door, she turned on the flashlight and looked around. She first saw a projector, and then, next to the projector, she saw two boxes of films.

At this moment, Mulan didn't have time to figure out whether the two boxes of videos were the two boxes she needed. She took a step forward, grabbed two boxes of videos, immediately turned around and opened the door, and ran into the corridor. The corridor was full of water, and the water was already flowing to the second floor. She quickly jumped up the stairs, and Mu Xiuzhen had already greeted her. Got it, let's go! Mu Xiuzhen retreated to the edge of the roof, and immediately went down the water pipe, and Magnolia immediately reached the edge of the roof. Before she stepped out of the stone railing, she could already hear the voice of someone at the door of the roof. Hey, why is the floor full? It's water, where did people go?

Mulanhua knew that there was no time left, so she jumped over the stone fence, slid down the water pipe, and landed on the ground with Mu Xiuzhen one after another. As soon as the two reached the ground, they ran towards the alley. However, just as they rushed to the alley.Then I heard someone shouting on the rooftop: "Stop!"stop! Two more steps forward, the alley opening, but at this moment, the sound of gunfire rang out. The first bullet hit the movie box held by Mulanhua's left hand! The bullet passed through the film, and there was a puff of smoke immediately. Magnolia threw away the box, fell down, and was out of the alley.

Fortunately, there was Chen Jiali's car parked at the alley. The car blocked seven or eight bullets, allowing them to run to the opposite street. The two of them came to the car they borrowed. If you don't close it, just drive forward and drive out! They drove the car, turned one turn after another, and turned five turns in a row. Looking behind, no one was chasing them, so they slowed down the speed of the car to normal. Mu Xiuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.so close! Magnolia held up the only surviving video box, and smiled wryly: If the destroyed video box was shot with infrared rays, then our efforts would be in vain. That's better than this one hitting your vest! Open the box and see if the film is red? Half and half chance.Mu Xiuzhen took the box and opened it. Magnolia looked at her nervously. Red!The two whispered together. Only then did a real smile appear on Mulanhua's face, and the car drove more smoothly. At this time, at least seven or eight people rushed out of the alley. At that moment, a car drove to the entrance of the alley and stopped. The seven or eight people quickly hid themselves in the darkness. The car stopped, the door opened, and it was Gao Xiang who jumped out of the car! The person hiding in the darkness came out. Gao Xiang saw that everyone had pistols in their hands, and he couldn't help being stunned. Police Officer Sun was also among the seven or eight people. Inspector Chen is waiting for you! Oh, so that's the case, who is so bold to break ground on Tai Sui? I don't know yet, Officer Sun is obviously not going to talk more, Mr. Gao, please. Gao Xiang followed Officer Sun to the house. Hey, why is the ground slippery?He realized it the first time he stepped in. Officer Ai Sun was very embarrassed. The water tank on the roof leaked, so the ground was wet. I see.Gao Xiang looked very relaxed. After a while, he was brought into a very ornately furnished room, which was the study. There were already two people sitting in the room, one was Inspector Chen Jiali, and the other was a very short man. Mr. Gao, have you got the death ray weapon yet? Inspector Chen, I want my two hundred thousand pounds first. have!The little man said suddenly. Your Excellency is Gao Xiangwen. He is an undercover agent of the police. Where is the money? We have to see the death ray weapon first. Gao Xiang reached into the pocket of his coat, grabbed the watch, smiled, and said to Inspector Chen Jiali: I still want to take a look at my two hundred thousand pounds first. From the briefcase next to him, the little man took out four stacks of banknotes and put them on the desk. The desk lamp just shone on the four stacks of banknotes. They were four stacks of large denominations, and they were the most valuable in the world. One of the currencies issued by the Bank of England is the pound sterling! Well, a smile appeared on Gao Xiang's face: The police didn't break their word! He took out the watch. a watch?Inspector Chen Jiali and the little man called together in a low voice. Exactly, the death watch!Gao Xiang's voice was full of conceit and complacency! At this time, Mulanhua and Mu Xiuzhen had also arrived at the door of the house. Mu Xiuzhen got out of the car first. Xiuzhen, hurry up and prepare the projector.Magnolia pointed her head and said to her. Alas, I still disagree with your approach. At this time, Gao Xiang may have handed over the death ray weapon to Chen Jiali!Mu Xiuzhen said bitterly. Don't talk too much, just go. OK, let's go.Mu Xiuzhen puffed up, opened the door and walked in. Magnolia drove the borrowed car a few streets and stopped. She walked home at a very fast pace. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Mu Xiuzhen's voice: "Everything is ready, just waiting for you to come!" Magnolia agreed and walked into the room. The projector buzzed, and a living room appeared on the wall. He Tianxiong panicked, and Gao Xiang stepped back. All of this is exactly what happened in He Tianxiong's villa that night. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the film, and nothing could be seen. Then, there is the scene where He Tianxiong has fallen to the ground. stop!Magnolia called. With a snap, the projector stopped. For a second just now, there was a flash of light on the screen. What is that? It is the light emitted by bullets. Infrared photography is particularly sensitive to light. Therefore, the strong light emitted by bullets overwhelms the film and makes it impossible to see anything. Magnolia stood up.Who did you hear that from? What's the matter?This is how Chen Jiali explained it when he released the film to Gao Xiang. You turn it upside down and play it again. The projector groaned again, turned it upside down and played it again. stop.Magnolia yelled again: I've found out what's wrong with it. What's wrong! It would take less than a second for any bullet to hit He Tianxiong's position from a corner of the hall. so you mean Everyone was deceived by He Tianxiong, I guessed right, He Tianxiong summoned Gao Xiang, he really had a purpose, he was using Gao Xiang to prove that he was dead, but in fact, he was not dead! He is not dead?Mu Xiuzhen almost jumped up, then the bloody face No matter who he is, he is not He Tianxiong, the key lies in that second!He Tianxiong must have known that someone had installed a long-range camera outside his villa, and he was happy to let them take pictures. He only needs to emit a strong light for one second to destroy the photography at the most critical moment, and that's enough. This is very easy to do, just use the headlights of a car to shine on it once. But Chen Jiali said Chen Jiali believed too much in his own arrangement of the camera, but he didn't know that although the camera faithfully recorded everything, it deceived him for a second, and in this second, He Tianxiong could use the mechanism on the floor to turn around and replace him with another A dead body is coming!You see, the face of the dead body is just a mass of flesh and blood, how can it prove that he is He Tianxiong. Mu Xiuzhen was stunned for a while, and said.then death ray weapon The dead light weapon, of course, has to start from He Tianxiong's body, come on, let's go. where to go Arrive at He Tianxiong's villa, He Tianxiong may still be there, the death ray weapon must not have arrived in this city yet. How can you be sure? Of course, what is the purpose of He Tianxiong's arrangement?Isn't it just to cover up people's eyes and ears?Let me and Gao Xiang fight for life and death, but he has another way to accept the death light weapon safely! We've all been fooled by him!Mu Xiuzhen shouted. Magnolia smiled slightly. Five minutes ago, we were fooled by him, but now, we have figured out his tricks in this video! Well, let's see who wins and who loses this time!Mu Xiuzhen was proud, and the two left the residence together, got into their own car, and drove towards He Tianxiong's villa. In that gorgeous study room, Gao Xiang gently swung the death watch. You two, do you see clearly? The eyeballs of Chen Jiali and the thin man moved left and right with the movement of the dead light watch, looking very interesting. Two hundred thousand pounds, two people. We promised to give it to you, of course we will, but what about the production pattern of the Death Ray weapon.Chen Jiali. This Gao Xiang is a bit embarrassing. Since the pattern is no longer alive, why should we discuss it? Then, your Excellency, with the figure of two hundred thousand pounds due can not be reduced!Gao Xiang didn't wait for the skinny man to finish speaking, he shouted loudly. Well, no less.Chen Jiali took a step forward, but his eyes were on the dead light watch in Gao Xiang's hand, and he took two steps back involuntarily: How can we prove that the dead light watch in your hand is? That's right, the thin man also said: What we have seen is just an ordinary watch. No matter how expensive a watch is in the world, it won't be worth 200,000 pounds! Of course I can prove it to you!Gao Xiang was proud: But the death ray weapon is a very dangerous weapon, the two of you will not ask me to rely on you to do the experiment! No!Of course not!Chen Jiali and the thin man's face changed color, and they took a few steps back! Ha ha!Gao Xiang laughed: Of course I wouldn't use the two of them as an experiment, because I still have to get the 200,000 pounds I deserved from the police! yes!yes!The faces of the two showed horror, and their eyes were still looking at the death watch in Gao Xiang's hand. It was actually a watch that didn't look much different from an ordinary alarm watch, except that it was slightly larger. Instruct your men to fetch an iron cage with rats in it. We will use rats as an experiment.With one hand on his waist, Gao Xiang gave orders with a high air. Chen Jiali immediately pressed the button of the microphone and conveyed Gao Xiang's words to his subordinates. I don't know how powerful the death ray weapon in my hands is now, but it is very small, it may not melt the steel, and it will not turn the house into ashes!Gao Xiang said seriously. Inspector Chen, that skinny man is a bit timid, let's not try it, just forward it to the superior! This Chen Jiali obviously had the same meaning, but it was inconvenient to say it out loud. At this time, if Gao Xiang also said that there is no need to experiment, Chen Jiali would definitely agree. However, Gao Xiang did not. No!He solemnly shook his hand and said, I insist on trying, this is my business credit!Inspector Chen, right? Chen Jiali and the thin man nodded again. After a while, someone knocked on the door. Chen Jiali arrived at the door and opened it. A man was standing at the door holding an iron cage with a white mouse inside. Inspector Chen Jiali reached out and took the iron cage. He winked at the big man and said: Is everything ready? Just wait for the order. Inspector Chen Jiali nodded and slammed the door shut. The conversation at the door just now was very light, Gao Xiang didn't pay attention. Chen Jiali walked forward carrying the iron cage and put it on the table. Gao Xiang glanced at the cage, as if reciting a new poem.Cute little white mouse, you are about to become a victim of human cruelty! He stood ten feet in front of the iron cage and raised his head: "Look carefully, there are two handles on this death watch."I press one of them, and a beam of light will shoot out from the other, that is the killing light! After he finished speaking, he said loudly: Look! Then, he stretched out his hand on one of the handles and pressed it lightly. Sure enough, a beam of light shot out from the other handle. That light is very dim, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see it. Turn off the headlights! Chen Jiali turned off the headlights, leaving only a floor lamp in the corner of the room, the light in the room was much dimmer.The light emitted from the hand was also much more obvious, and the three of them could see clearly that the light was directly hitting a white mouse in the cage. All three of them were thinking that the white mouse would definitely scream, roll to the ground and die. But no, the little white mouse, blinking red eyes, looked at the light with a very novel look. Mr. Gao!Chen Jiali's complexion changed from nervousness to surprise, and he let out a loud cry. Oh, it might be too far away.Gao Xiang's complexion changed from complacency to embarrassment. He took two steps forward. The light still shone on the little white mouse, but the little white mouse shook its white fur, but there was still no sign of death at all. Mr. Gao!Chen Jiali's face became angry. Still still too far!Gao Xiangwei reached into his pocket, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He came all the way to the iron cage, and put the death light watch in front of the iron cage, but the little white mouse still showed no sign of fear, instead stretched out its claws, and grabbed the death light watch! Standing behind Gao Xiang, Chen Jiali and the thin man looked at each other with anger already on their faces. The thin man took out his pistol and pointed it at Gao Xiang's vest. But Chen Jiali pushed his hand on the thin man's wrist, and pushed the thin man's hand away. Mr. Gao, stop playing magic tricks!What you have in your hand is not a death watch!Chen Jiali said sternly. Should be, why not?Maybe there's something wrong with the machine Gao Xiang turned around, sweating profusely, and while wiping, beads of sweat came out again. problem?I'm afraid there is something wrong with your brain.The skinny man spoke eeriely. Mr. Gao, I didn't expect you to make such a big joke with the police! Gao Xiang stared, he was naturally annoyed in his heart, he slammed down hard, and threw the dead light watch to the ground. With a bang, the death watch was thrown away. The three of them looked at the dead light watch that fell to the ground, and Gao Xiang couldn't help but laugh! The interior of the dead light watch is very simple, except for a pair of small batteries, there is a very small light bulb. Yes, once you press the button, light will shoot out, but it's just an ordinary electric light, definitely not a dead light that can kill people in a tenth of a second! Now, even a three-year-old can know that the dead watch is fake! Gao Xiang took a few steps back dejectedly, and sat down on the sofa. Five minutes ago, he thought he had won the fight against Magnolia, but now, he knew that he had failed. The failure was so pitiful and ridiculous!
