In fact, the young man only thought for a few seconds before he understood. He knew that the princess must have put down a small eavesdropper on him when they walked out of the back alley just now holding his arm. She is not afraid of him leaving temporarily, because she can hear what he and the manager are talking about. After the manager pushed open the door and walked into the manager's room first, and he followed in, he had already discovered where the small listening device was, it was inside his collar. The young man just reached out and touched the small listening device, but didn't take it off immediately, because the small listening device was of great use to the plan he had already decided.

The door of the manager's room had just been closed, and the old lady who was inspecting the copperware put on a pair of reading glasses.Her movements were natural and did not arouse others' suspicion at all, and after she put on reading glasses, the small listener on the frame of the glasses allowed her to hear the conversation between the young man and the manager in the manager's room. She first heard the young man asking, and said: I not only want to see the information, but also want to see the real thing. The manager seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said: "Yes, but this item is really too precious. It should be a priceless treasure. Although our current price is an astronomical figure, it is worth it."

The young man said: Yes, I understand. The manager continued: "In fact, over the years, we have paid more than 100,000 pounds in insurance premiums for this mirror. The insurance company has an agreement with us that if anyone wants to see this mirror, At least four agents from the insurance company must be present! The young man let out a hey, and said: So it's so troublesome, so I'd better read the information first. Princess Orika frowned. Antique shops were so tightly guarded that it seemed that it would not be easy to exchange fakes for real ones even with the credit established by purchasing two treasures.

Then the princess heard the sound of the bookcase being opened, the sound of papers being flipped, and the young man and the manager were discussing the breastplate. After about five minutes, there was a sudden bang, and then the young man said, "I'm sorry, I stained your carpet!"And the manager said: It doesn't matter!It doesn't matter!The princess couldn't help smiling, she knew that the young man was up to something again. Half an hour later, the young man came out of the manager's room. The manager sent him off respectfully and said, "If you are interested in taking a look at the treasure, please make an appointment with me in advance."

The young man agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family!" He went out, and the princess got up and left.The old man straightened up, bought a small piece of silver, and left the antique shop too. The young man and the princess met at the corner, got into the car together, and drove straight back to the hotel. In the car, the princess took off her make-up and returned to her original appearance. However, the young man's make-up cannot be removed within three days. So he still looks like an Indian. As soon as she entered the hotel room, the princess turned around, hugged the young man with both hands, and kissed him lightly. Of course, the young man knew that when the princess put her hands around her, she had already taken the listening device behind her collar and took it out. went back.

The princess turned around lightly and said, "What do you gain?"It seems that there is no result at all. The young man also smiled, pointed at the princess and said: You are wrong, the harvest is too great to be greater! The princess raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man with a very strange expression. The young man said, "I overturned a glass of wine while the manager was looking for information, and I stole it while he was clearing the glass." A drawing of the security devices for the entire antique store. Princess Orika was startled for a moment, and then she couldn't help crying out: You are joking!

The young man took out a folded pattern from his coat pocket and said, "If you think I'm joking, you can take a look at this!" As soon as the princess stretched out her hand, she spread out the pattern. There were ten extremely thin sheets of paper in total. The princess looked through it quickly, with a look of distrust still on her face, and said: "Impossible, such an important document, with Almost half of these patterns and those ten treasures are already in your hands. How did you manage to get them in such a short period of time? The young man said: I was lucky. When I was looking for materials in the manager, I found that all the drawers on the file cabinets had labels indicating what was in the drawers. There was only one small drawer. Flip the lock against the drawer, and as he leans over to pick up the glass, I open the drawer

When he was talking here, he paused for a while, and said with a smile: I opened the drawer and I knew what it was. Since I have such good luck, why should I be so polite!The princess cried with joy, embraced the young man again, and gave him a deep kiss. The young man patted the princess' soft waist lightly, and said: "Come on, let's study those ten patterns. I think, how to obtain treasures can be answered in these ten patterns." The young man made a good guess. Every picture shows the anti-theft device of a treasure. The complex device displayed on the picture is simply a trap for any skilled thief. If there are no such pictures, dare to say that any thief in the world would It is impossible to get any one of the ten treasures.

They studied one by one. The princess's expression became more and more excited. Tiny beads of sweat flowed from the tip of her nose because of the excitement. She couldn't help holding the young man's hand with her wet palms. , making her look even more attractive, she kept saying: We can make it! The young man said: If you can give me an hour to enter the store! The princess blinked and said, "What do you mean?" The young man tapped the tip of the princess' nose and said: You forgot that in the antique shop, there are twelve guards on duty 24 hours a day. The princess frowned and said, "How much time do you need?"

The young man pointed to those patterns and said: After getting familiar with those devices and equipped with the application tools, I think it will take at least an hour! The princess' eyebrows were still knotted, but after a while, she laughed happily and said: Isn't it enough to make them unconscious for an hour? The young man raised his eyebrows and said: That is naturally the easiest way, but in this way, the theft of Yitong Antique Store will be known immediately?This is not what we want. The princess waved her hand, her expression was still extremely excited, and said: Anyway, sooner or later, we can not destroy the anti-theft device at all, and we have fakes back, the antique shop must think that we have failed, and when this When the news reached the ears of Chief Lula, he could know that we did take action and it succeeded!

While the princess was speaking, the young man kept nodding in agreement, and it was very easy to make the twelve guards faint. The compressed gas is put into the air conditioning system of the antique shop, and a radio control device is attached to the gas tank. The remote control device can open the tank lid at any time and send the anesthetic gas into the store. The young man is also busy with his work. He is preparing all the tools for use. Naturally, he has a lot of time. He is not with the princess, but the princess seems to be at ease, and the young man naturally knows why the princess is at ease. The princess assured the young man to act on his own, because he believed that the listening device she placed on the young man had never been discovered by the young man. During these two days, the young man met his uncle once, and told his uncle about his plan.His uncle didn't say anything, just looked at him with a strange look. The young man naturally knew what his uncle meant by looking at him like this. In fact, whenever night fell, he and the princess returned to the hotel together, and when they were in love, his own mood was also delicate. Several times, he almost gave up his plan.However, he still held back his voice and waited for that night to come. That night was the night they started to act. Just after midnight, a small truck slowly turned the corner of the street and stopped not far from Yitong Antique Store. The young man got out of the truck in the clothes of a cleaner, opened the door at the back of the truck, and pulled out a He picked up a cart, and then moved down two iron cylinders that looked like garbage cans, and put them on the cart.At that moment, the car started backing up and around the corner.When the car backed up and passed the young man, the young man and the princess driving the car exchanged glances and nodded. The young man pushed the cart forward, and the princess turned on the radio remote control and pressed a button. The street was very quiet, with only a car passing by every so often. The young man came to the entrance of the antique shop and looked at his watch. Three minutes had passed. The twelve guards in the antique shop should have passed out. He approached the door, opened it quickly, pulled the car, and walked in. Before entering, he put on a gas mask. As soon as he entered, he saw twelve guards, some of whom were lying on the cabinet, Some lay on the ground, some collapsed on the sofa, and all fell asleep. The young man was still pushing the cart and walked forward slowly. Princess Orika in the van is not so much nervous as she is in a state of extreme excitement. She looked at her watch. It has been fifteen minutes since the young man entered the antique shop. He should have changed two to three treasures. Naturally, she couldn't see what was going on inside the antique shop, but when the young man got off the car, she She also attached the bugging device to his collar. At this moment, she could hear all kinds of noises the young man made when he opened the anti-theft device, and what she was thinking in her heart was: Even for your closest comrade-in-arms, you should There is a little secret.Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, there were only two policemen walking over slowly.There was no tension at all. An hour later, the store door opened, and the young man walked out calmly pushing the cart again. When the young man and the princess arrived at the pier, and with the help of King Goyer IV, they moved two large iron barrels together onto a high-speed yacht that had already been moored there, and immediately drove out, the alarm bell of the antique shop, It was only when there was a loud bang, and in less than five minutes, almost a hundred policemen rushed to the antique shop. And when the young man, the princess, and Goyer IV were already sailing on the high seas, they heard a broadcast from the London station on the radio.The broadcast stated: The thieves used anesthesia gas to make twelve guards of the Yitong Antique Store faint. They probably stayed in the store for an hour. However, due to the excellent anti-theft measures in the store, the criminals who entered found nothing. There is no such thing as a loss in the store. While listening to the radio, the princess danced on the deck, looking at her, she was so happy that she wanted to fly. The performance of the yacht is very good, and it sails directly to the Arabian Sea. In the two iron barrels, there are eight treasures that the young man exchanged. Goye IV wanted to open it several times to have a look, but was stopped by the princess and the young man. Because the things belonged to Chief Lula, they didn't want any damage or accidents when the things were delivered to Chief Lula. The 20 days of sailing in the sea were really an extremely happy journey. The blue sky and the sea, the wine and the beauty, Princess Orika made the young people intoxicated with her style stronger than wine. As soon as the yacht entered the Arabian Sea, the seaplane sent by Chief Lula arrived. The three of them boarded the seaplane and flew straight to the land ruled by Chief Lula. They entered the palace of Chief Lula, and the chief He personally led seven of his favorite beauties out to greet him.As soon as Chief Lula saw Goyer IV, he laughed and said: You have done a great job. According to the news from London, there is no loss at all!Ha ha, look at the faces of the heads of Scotland Yard when my museum is completed and the ten treasures are on display!You guys are geniuses! Goye IV and the princess both smiled, while the young man seemed to have his own reserve. In his private room, the chief opened the two iron boxes, and took out the eight treasures he had exchanged, one by one, carefully admiring them, full of praise. At this time, the princess said: "Chief, we only got eight treasures. The sword and the crown were actually bought by this gentleman and given to you!" The chief said generously: How much did you pay for it, I will pay you back the price, how much? The young man said a figure, and Chief Lula immediately summoned his finance minister to pay the full amount.The next day, the young man took his leave first, and he and the princess agreed to meet in Paris.However, the young man did not keep the appointment, he missed the appointment! The young man did not go to Paris. When the princess was waiting for him on the Champs-Elysées, he and his uncle were boating on a small mountain lake in the middle of Finland, which seemed as quiet as a paradise. The expression of the young man seemed a bit melancholy. His uncle was smoking a pipe, looked at him, and said, "Accordingly, Lula's museum will not open until two years later. Only then will you know that you haven't exchanged the antiques at all." The treasures in the store are just fakes made by King Goye IV, and they were shipped out intact. Why don't you go to see her? The young man gave a wry smile, and rowed down with one oar, cutting a line in the emerald green lake water. He took a breath and said, "I only charge what I deserve for being exploited, and I don't want to be in debt!" The old man smiled and said: Think about it, what will happen to Chief Lula when he invites experts to appraise his exhibits and it turns out to be fake? The young man laughed: May never sell oil to Britain! The old man laughed and said again: Do you think that when you mentioned to the manager in the manager's office that someone wanted to trick him into hiding treasures and advised him to cooperate with you, did he agree too readily? a little? The young man raised his eyebrows, cried out, and said, "Uncle, you The old man spread his hands and said: Yes, I met him the day before and told him about the situation. It is really not an easy task to convince this stubborn old man. On the other hand, within 30 minutes, he did not set off the alarm bell, but got out the breast shield, and he was obedient!So, when you went to him, he already knew your identity and gave you the pattern! The young man paused and said, "Is the picture real?" The old man said: 100% true. The young man took a breath and said, "Well, I really can't think of any way for you to steal the heart-guard without touching the anti-theft device within thirty minutes!" The old man took a puff of cigarette, puffed it out, and said: On my birthday, you gave me a treasured sword. You must know that although I am old, the treasured sword is still young! The young man made a helpless gesture and paddled vigorously. The boat quickly swung forward in the lake! (End of the book)
