I came here in a police patrol car. Naturally, there was no police car to take me back, so I had no choice but to walk and walked out of a street. I raised my hand and stopped a street car. I stretched out my hand to pull the door of the streetcar, and at that moment, on the reflection of the window glass of the streetcar, I saw a person not far behind me at the corner of the street, looking at me with his head protruding. In the reflection of the window glass of the street car, the face of the man could not be seen very clearly. But you don't have to see it very clearly, just one look is enough, and I can be sure immediately that the guy is the one who hit my car, jumped at me, and then escaped into the truck.

This person, or possibly the one who called when I was waiting for the woman at the restaurant, told me that the date had been cancelled. In a word, this guy is the key to countless strange things. At that moment, my heart suddenly became extremely tense, because I had to grab that guy, but the guy was behind me, ten yards away from me. As long as that guy sees me turn around, he will definitely turn around and run away! If I miss this opportunity now, I may never see him again. At that time, I was not only nervous, but also really hesitant in my heart. I didn't know what to do. The streetcar driver saw that I was holding the door handle and thought I couldn't open the door, so he opened the door for me.

As soon as I saw the streetcar driver turn around, I had an idea and hurriedly said in a low voice: Listen, you have to drive me through the back street as fast as you can to the corner of the street, you know? The driver asked suspiciously: what does this mean? I said: You don't have to ask, I'm a police officer, there is a man standing at the corner of the street, did you see that?He's a wanted criminal, and I'm going to stop him from behind. The driver hurriedly said: I see. As soon as I bent over and got into the car, the driver immediately drove the car forward and immediately turned into a side street.

When the car turned into the side street, I quickly turned my head and took a look. I saw that guy took a step forward and stood at the corner of the street, as if observing the direction I was leaving. The driver was very clever, the car passed through the side street, made another turn, and arrived at that street in less than half a minute. I saw a big truck parked on that street, which was the one that carried the man away. And that person, looking back from the street, walked to the big truck. I hurriedly said: Drive the car straight in front of that person and stop. When I told the driver that, I had already opened the car door, and the driver stepped up the accelerator abruptly and rushed straight out. When the man was still five or six yards away from the truck, the car was in front of him. Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of emergency brakes, and the car stopped. At that moment, I pushed open the door, jumped out, and rushed towards the man.

When I rushed towards that person, that person also saw me, and we had a face-to-face meeting. I can't easily forget the horrified expression on that man's face, and his reaction was very quick, he yelled, turned around and ran, but at that moment, I was already rushing. It got behind him and knocked him down heavily. The man's strength was very strong, I overwhelmed him, and the two fell to the ground together. He pushed hard, pushed me away, and immediately got up and ran forward again, but in such a situation, how could I tolerate it? He escaped?Immediately, I jumped up again and overwhelmed him again.

At that time, the driver of the streetcar also got out of the car, and I grabbed the man's arm with all my strength. The man was still struggling violently, so I shouted urgently: "Come and help me!" The driver rushed over. Although this side street is not a lively street, many people gathered around to watch after we made such a fuss. The driver rushed over. Seeing the two of us working together, that guy I will never leave again. But at this moment, I could only hear exclamations from the onlookers on both sides of the street. I knew something was wrong, so I quickly looked back and saw the big truck parked on the side of the street. High speed, rushed towards us.

During that glance, I couldn't see the face of the man driving the truck clearly, and the man driving the truck seemed to lower his head on purpose. As soon as he saw the truck rushing towards him at high speed, I immediately let out a strange cry and pushed hard The driver of the streetcar got over, and the two rolled to the side of the street together. By the time me and the streetcar driver rolled sideways, the guy jumped up, waving at the truck, yelling. What he was yelling, but no one could hear clearly, I rolled to the side of the street, and only looked up, the thing had happened.

Maybe the guy was waving at the truck to stop it, but the big truck didn't stop, it still rushed forward, and hit the man straight with a bang. In an instant, everyone exclaimed, and several women screamed even more. After the man was hit by the truck, he moved forward and flew straight out. After the truck knocked down the man, the truck moved faster, and with a whoosh, it drove out of the side street and immediately turned into a straight road. I jumped up and ran towards the guy who was knocked down by the truck and threw away a foot away. When I ran to the guy, he stood up unsteadily again.

I shouted urgently: call an ambulance quickly! No one answered my call, but that person said: No need! After he said three words, he fell again and fell to the ground with a bang. When I was busy looking down at him, several police officers had already rushed over. I straightened up: he is dead! Those police officers surrounded me, and I said calmly: Hurry up and inform Colonel Jack before I broke up with him.It is very important to ask him to come at once! The incident happened right next to the police station, so in an instant, a large number of police officers rushed over to disperse the onlookers, and within three minutes, Jack also rushed over: What's the matter?

I used the simplest sentences to describe what happened, and then said: I just wanted to catch him, he was struggling desperately, but he didn't expect that his companion would run him to death! Jack hurriedly said: Or that truck? I said: I'm sure of that truck. Colonel Jack hurriedly turned his head and said to a police officer behind him: Seal off the entire area and search for that truck! The officer ran to a radio in a police car and relayed Colonel Jack's orders. Colonel Jack and I leaned down to see the man who was killed by the truck. When we leaned down at the same time, we looked at each other. I guess, Jack was thinking the same as me at that time.

We all suspected that the woman was a different kind of person, and that guy was obviously related to that woman. So, is he also a different kind of person?If he is, then he is now in our hands and will never disappear mysteriously again! We came to the corpse together, and saw the expression of that person before he died, which was very scary, his eyes were open, and his mouth was wide open. I whispered: "It's him. I came out of the house, and it was him who suddenly rushed towards my car." . Jack snorted: According to the law, he shouldn't have been hit by a car, otherwise, he shouldn't have jumped at your car. Maybe he knew that I would brake in time, and his purpose was to attack me.I said. Jack didn't make a sound. A detective searched the body of the deceased. It can be said that there was nothing on the body of the deceased. He didn't find anything until he unbuttoned his shirt. Around the guy's neck, a thin chain hung a ring about an inch in diameter, a black ring. If it hadn't been for a ring of the same shape and size that appeared in my pocket for no reason, and I presumed that it was the woman who put it in my pocket before she died, then I would have seen that ring at this time. , and it will definitely not attract special attention, it must be regarded as an ordinary decoration, but since such things have happened before, it is naturally different. When I saw the ring, I froze. , Jack reacted faster than me, he immediately shouted: leave!While yelling, he stretched out his hand to push the detective away, bent down, held up the ring, and raised his head to look at me again. I immediately said: We may have obtained an extremely valuable thing, get rid of it quickly!Jack found the clasp of the chain, removed the ring, held it in the palm of his hand, the two of us looked at it attentively, and said in unison: It's exactly the same as that one! I immediately said: This ring must have a very important role for them, hide it quickly and study it carefully. Jack nodded, and carefully put the ring into his pocket. At this time, the black box truck also came, and the body was loaded onto the black box truck. As for that truck, although there were more than forty police cars, The area was searched for its whereabouts, and it was a giant, but nothing came of it. After the black box drove away, Jack rubbed his hands, looking pleased: This time, we finally have another one, dead but with a clue. I understand what he means, he is saying that the mysterious disappearance of the woman's body may be due to the instigation of a mysterious force, but now, he has another body. I frowned: I just forgot to check whether there were scales on the dead man's arm. Jack said: "What's the rush? After he arrives at the mortuary, he will slowly dissect him. This time, he will never leave again!" I jokingly said: I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the mortuary! I was joking, but Jack took it seriously, and he was startled suddenly: What do you mean?You mean, on the way, there might be an accident with the black box car? I smiled and said: something happened to the black box car?I don't think there is much chance. From here to the mortuary, it is within a closed area, and dozens of police cars are constantly patrolling. Who can do anything? But Jack was still very worried, he stamped his feet repeatedly, and complained to me: Oh, why didn't you remind me earlier? Seeing him in such a hurry, I just felt amused, and I said: What are you in a hurry for?If you are really worried, then now, we can visit the mortuary together! Jack said loudly: That's right! Jack stretched out his hand, and a police car drove up. Jack and I got in the car, and the car drove towards the mortuary. Five minutes later, we had arrived at the door of the mortuary. Jack and I got out of the car. I felt that something was very wrong. . Because the mortuary is deserted, it is by no means as if a black box car has been there and something has happened! Jack's complexion turned blue, he rushed in, found the administrator, and said at the very beginning: What about the dead? The administrator was puzzled by his question and didn't know how to answer it. I felt chills: Jack, something happened, there is no reason for the black box car to arrive later than us. Jack didn't ask the administrator any more, and he and I rushed out. We had just left the door when the policeman driving the police car came over in a hurry and said, "Colonel, there is an accident!" Colonel Jack went straight to the police car, picked up the wireless phone, and said loudly: What's the accident, tell me! The voice on the radio said: Colonel, the black box wrecked in a side alley! Jack cursed: "Damn it, what's he doing on the side alley instead of going on the main road?" The answer on the wireless phone was: I don't know, the driver was killed. The black box car caught fire immediately after hitting the wall. The two gangsters fled in a hurry, but they were not injured. Jack's face was as white as powder, and he asked loudly: So, what about the dead man? The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment, not understanding why Jack was still caring about a dead man in such a situation, so he hesitated in answering: The dead man was a colonel, the fire was very fierce, and the two gangsters were only concerned about escaping and could not save the dead man. The dead are pulled out. The colonel dropped the phone violently, turned around, and I immediately said: Colonel, getting angry is useless, we have to go to the scene to see it! Jack was reminded by a word from me, and hurriedly said: Yes, go! He and I got into the police car again, and after a while, we came to the alley where the black box car had an accident. No wonder Jack couldn't help cursing when he heard that something happened to the black box car here, because the black box car drove here for no reason on the way to the mortuary. However, the black box car was indeed here and hit the wall. The force of the collision was not light. The front of the car sank completely. The whole car was still smoking when Jack and I arrived. Burnt out of shape. As soon as Jack arrived, he ordered the police to pry open the door of the black box. I saw that the wooden box containing the corpse had been burnt to charcoal. In the compartment, not even a dead mouse could be found. Come on, don't talk about a dead man! Jack and I both stood in front of the carriage in a daze. We all knew in our hearts that no matter how violent the fire that burned the vehicle was, it would never be able to burn a dead person without a trace. This dead man, like the dead in the mortuary, disappeared without a trace after a fire. This is really an incredible and unexplainable thing! Jack stayed for a while, then turned his head, I could see the angry and frustrated expression on his face, so I had no choice but to comfort him: Don't be afraid, we have at least two rings. Jack bitterly said: Even if there are nine, what's the point? I don't argue with him, that's what Jack is. At this time, a policeman brought the two gangsters to Jack. The anger in Jack's heart finally had something to vent. He roared loudly, foaming at the mouth, as if he wanted to swallow those two gangsters, and shouted: What the hell?What are you driving here for? The faces of the two carpenters turned yellow with fright, and one said: We don't know, we didn't drive the car, the driver suddenly turned in, we were just wondering, the car has crashed into it! Jack roared again: So what if you hit it? Another way of saying: When the car hit the car, the car door popped open. He and I were ejected. As soon as we fell to the ground, the car caught fire. I think the driver must have lost his mind! Jack snapped: How do you know!you are a doctor? The worker was too frightened to make any more noise. I was on the sidelines, and I really wanted to laugh when I saw Jack's furious situation. However, I was embarrassed. Jack turned around, and I persuaded him again: Forget it, just like the fire in the mortuary, it seems that we can't find anything, it's better to concentrate on researching the two rings we got. Jack sighed, and said: The work in the laboratory is really slow, I have urged them, there should be results, you go back with me. I nodded and said: Naturally. Jack got out of the car dejectedly, and I didn't feel refreshed. I just thought that two corpses could be eliminated by the same method, which is really worth studying. First of all, be sure that the other side (I have absolutely no idea what the other side is, but it's always good to call it the other side.) never want their men to fall into our hands while the dead (the other side's men) are on fire In the middle of the fire, it will disappear without a trace. If it is not that the heat of the fire is extremely high, or the body of the person is particularly heat-resistant, the two must be one of them! And these two points are very intriguing. If there is a kind of fire that can reach extremely high temperatures in an instant, it is something that our current science cannot explain. On the other hand, it's the same. If there is a kind of people whose bodies are particularly heat-resistant, then they must be different from us, and they are another kind of people. In the car, I told Jack what I was thinking, and he listened very attentively, with thick eyebrows knotted. Then, he sighed: Wesley, of all the things we have encountered, there is probably nothing more troublesome than this. But I objected to his opinion: No, Colonel, I have encountered much more troublesome things than this, and now we still have at least those two links in this matter, and we can find clues on it. Jack murmured: I hope so. When the car arrived at the police station, we went in together. Before reaching Jack's office, a bald man came up to him. As soon as Jack saw him, he yelled: Director, what did you find? Then, he introduced to me, saying: This is the director of the police research department, Director Wang. He presides over a well-equipped research laboratory that can analyze almost anything. Director Wang shook hands with me, and said: Colonel, the ring you handed over, according to my judgment, is a key. Jack had already opened the door of the office, and the three of us walked in together. When Director Wang said that, both Jack and I were taken aback: What, the key? Director Wang said: Yes, look at the analysis report. This ring is made of metal, an alloy of iron and nickel. It is highly magnetic. Such a powerful magnetic force was enough to push open the one-foot-thick vault door. Jack looked at Director Wang: Is it a magnetic key? Yes.Director Wang is very confident in his own judgment. This kind of magnetic lock and key is not very common. Naturally, the magnetism is so strong, it is very special. Jack looked at me again: Do you know what a magnetic lock is? I nodded and said: Of course I know that inserting a magnetic key into the hole can replace the key, but it is much safer than ordinary locks, because the magnetic key cannot be counterfeited unless you have all the information about the magnetic lock. Director Wang attached the ring to the back of the report and stored it in a small transparent box.Jack reached out his hand from his pocket and took another ring. Director Wang wondered: Another one. Where did you get this magnetic key? Then where is the door that you need to open with this key? Jack smiled wryly: I wish I could know, if I knew, even if there was a fire-breathing dinosaur in that door, I would go in and have a look. As he spoke, he took out the ring from the box and compared it in his hand. The two rings are obviously the same. You can see the fine lines on them without using a magnifying glass. They are exactly the same. Director Wang also carefully compared the two rings, and then he sighed: There must be a high-precision Only at the industrial level can such two identical magnetic keys be produced. Jack thought for a moment before saying: Thank you, there is nothing I need your help for now. Jack sent Director Wang out, and then he paced back and forth in the office while I was flipping through Director Wang's report. After a while, Jack suddenly said: Do you know what I'm thinking now? I raised my head, Jack said: We now have the key, do you know what we should do next?We should go find that door! I thought for a while before I said slowly: Colonel, it doesn’t have to be a door, it could be something else. This magnetic key may be used to light a lamp, open a drawer, start a car, a Aircraft, its uses are too extensive, too numerous to mention. Jack is a person who refuses to admit defeat. He hurriedly said: It can be used to open a door. I am still right. In short, we need to find out what these two ring-shaped magnetic keys are for! I nodded and said: Naturally, I agree with you, and I have another proposal. Jack hurriedly said: Say. I said: Now, we have no clue at all. I suggest that the two of us search separately. The more opportunities, the better. We can contact each other once a day. What do you think? Jack immediately agreed: This is a good idea. I said: Then, you have to give me a ring. If I find the target, I can try it first. Jack hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay." He gave me a ring, and I said goodbye, and as I walked out, Jack followed, yelling at a police officer, blaming him for not finding the truck until now. Since that mysterious woman asked me to meet, a series of mysterious accidents had occurred, including car accidents, assaults, and deaths, so I acted with extreme caution after I left the police station. I stuck to the street and walked slowly, paying attention to everything around me. I walked a few streets before calling a car and returning home. At that time, it was already afternoon, Bai Su left a note, she went out, the servant was not there, I rang the bell and no one answered, took out the key, opened the door, went all the way to the study, took out the ring , placed on the table, staring at it. A magnetic key can be used in a thousand ways, and even if I find out its use, it will not help. For example, I know it is a car key, how can I know where the car is? place? I stood up and stretched. I felt a little hungry, so I went downstairs, and after a little snack, I went upstairs again. I really wanted to have a good night's sleep to compensate for the tiredness of the past few days, but I still walked to the study, because the ring was still very attractive to me. I believe that this attraction will not disappear before the mystery is revealed, because I am a very curious person. When I came to the door of the study, I froze abruptly. I remember that when I left, I did not close the door, but now, the door of the study is closed. It couldn't have been the wind that closed the door, because there was no wind at all. I immediately thought of the ring, and when I went downstairs, I put the ring on the table. Since the other party doesn't want their people to fall into our hands, they naturally don't like their rings to give us clues to unravel the mystery. When I thought of this, I immediately pushed the door, but the door was inside. It was locked, and someone stole into my study, there is no doubt, I slammed the door hard, and hit the third time, there was a loud bang, and the door was already knocked open by me. The door was knocked open, I rushed into the study, I saw a window was open, at the same time, I saw two hands, clinging to the window sill, as long as those two hands were loosened, that person could jump I can't catch him on the street! At that moment, I had no room to think about it, I quickly picked up the paper knife on the table, and threw it out again. I learned the technique of throwing knives from a circus troupe master. The knife flew out and shot one of the two hands in less than a second. With a loud bang, the tip of the knife penetrated the palm of the hand and nailed it into the window sill. Immediately I heard a scream, and I rushed forward and shouted: Don't move, unless you want to become disabled! When I finished that sentence, I had already reached the window, and I saw that person too.His hands were still clinging to the window sill, because one of his hands had already been pierced by a sharp knife, so there was an expression of extreme pain on his face. He was a man in his thirties. . As soon as I arrived, I held his arm tightly, and the man gasped: Let me go! I sneered and said: Come in, let's talk slowly. Still holding his left wrist tightly, I pulled out the knife vigorously, the man let out a series of groans again, I pulled the man in from the window, and pushed him down on the chair. The man's right hand was bleeding continuously, and his complexion was as white as if covered with a layer of chalk. I glanced at the table, and the ring was no longer there. At that time, the joy in my heart was really indescribable! The ring is gone, and this person came to steal the ring, so he is naturally the accomplice of the woman and the person who was hit and killed by the car. I finally caught a person of the other party, and he was alive. I looked at that person, who was huddled in the sofa, and I said coldly: Who are you? The man moaned: Don't ask, I'm a thief! I sneered: It is a smart way to admit that I am a thief. The man froze for a moment, his eyes rolling: Then, who do you think I am? I said: Who are you?Only you know, you are a thief, why don't you steal anything but that worthless ring? The man smiled wryly, and said: Someone paid me to steal it. They paid me a lot of money to steal it. I am really a thief. Stealing, once had a record of eighteen times in prison! I couldn't help being stunned, a person has 18 prison records, so he is undoubtedly a thief!
