Chapter One Here's a story that circulates among gold privateers: Everyone knows that Indian people worship gold. India is a paradise for gold smugglers. Smuggling gold from other places to India can make extremely high profits. Therefore, gold smugglers use various methods to try to smuggle gold into India. Within, get huge profits. In order to prevent gold smuggling, the Indian government has made various efforts. It has a well-organized anti-smuggling team, which makes many gold smugglers have nowhere to hide. However, the smuggled gold is still endless The Jedi entered the borders of India.

There is a single gold smuggling case, which is still praised by people until now.One year, a famous football team was invited to India for an exhibition match. There were 20 football team coaches, staff, official players and reserve players in total. The members of the football team got off the plane and received a grand welcome. The luggage was checked as usual, but there was absolutely nothing suspicious, but in the end, a large amount of gold was smuggled into imports. It turned out that when the members of the football team got off the plane, each player carried a football in his hand. Of course, no one suspected that the players of the famous team carried a football in their hands, and they passed the customs in an open manner. So even the most astute inspectors were fooled.Because inspectors generally don't pay attention to the most eye-catching things, this is a successful example of using human psychology. In fact, every football is pure gold, but on the surface of the ball, paint It was just painted in the color of a football. The success of this smuggling was the most popular among smugglers. The person who presided over this smuggling also gained a very high status among the gold smugglers and was respected by other smugglers.

The abbreviation of the story is naturally very rough, but it also summarizes the whole thing. This story does not seem to be anything special, nor is it particularly exciting.But there is a very interesting place, that is, this story is not true at all!That is to say, in this simple story, there is a place that is ignored by everyone. It seems that the story seems to be logical, but if this point is revealed, anyone can understand that this kind of thing is impossible to happen , this hidden flaw makes the whole story untenable! What is this hidden flaw?Is it impossible for a famous football team to be used for smuggling?Or a shrewd customs officer, wouldn't be so negligent?Or is it a football made of pure gold, it is impossible to make it so realistic, or should the instrument not ignore the reaction to the metal?

No, none of this is absolutely impossible. Football teams may be used for smuggling, and no matter how shrewd customs officials are, they may be negligent. Pure gold can be cast like a real football. And that hidden flaw is absolutely impossible! The following is a conversation between two people. It is not necessary to study what kind of people the two people are talking about. In fact, there is no way to know, because the ability to hear the conversation between the two people is only thanks to the tape recorder, that is to say, The conversation between the two people was broadcast by a tape recorder.

Do you know what the most successful platinum smuggling was? You know, the anti-smuggling team already knew that a yacht was going to smuggle platinum into imports. Everything was arranged. As soon as the yacht arrived, they boarded and searched. However, they found nothing and had to retreat, but in fact, platinum was still brought in. By the way, the entire hull of the ship is made of platinum! It was a bit like a movie, a luxury car was used to smuggle gold, and the inspectors couldn't find it out. It turned out that the entire body of the car was made of gold! The hull of the yacht is entirely made of platinum, which is also a plot in the movie. Alas, what a pity, that is just a plot in the movie, and it cannot be done in reality.

Why?While technically far from simple, it's not impossible, gold can make anything! Yes, gold can make anything, but have you ever wondered how heavy gold is?How heavy would a car made of pure gold be?What kind of horsepower does it take to drive it?For a ship made of platinum, its waterline is probably just above the cabin roof. You heard the story about the football team that used pure gold as footballs and smuggled them across the border of India? Of course I've heard it, and I've even met the host. The so-called host is the biggest liar in the world. He told an impossible thing as if it was true, and he told everyone to believe it.

impossible?I don't think anything is impossible! That's why you overlooked a hidden flaw in the story, the weight of gold. The weight of gold?Everyone knows that gold is very heavy. Yes, but how much does it weigh?The specific gravity of gold is 19.6. That is to say, a cubic centimeter of gold weighs 19.6 grams. One kilogram is one kilogram. If you calculate the volume of a ball, what is the radius of a football?Calculate it to be thirteen centimeters, you know the formula for calculating the volume of a sphere, what is the result?It is nearly 9,200 cubic centimeters, and when multiplied by the specific gravity, it is equal to nearly 180,000 grams, which is 180 kilograms. A pure gold football weighs 180 kilograms. Unless the football players are all supermen, otherwise, It is impossible to lift it. This is the real weight of gold.

The conversation ended here, and then there was a series of sighs. It was a young man who was listening to the tape. While listening to the tape, the young man imitated his uncle and smoked the pipe vigorously. Although the burning tobacco in the pipe was creaked by him, his tongue also felt pain. He frowned, for a moment, he didn't understand what the person who sent this tape to him meant, but he was sure of one thing: he was in trouble, he couldn't live here anymore, and he I really like this place and hope to stay longer, that's why he frowned at the thought of it. He lives in a house made entirely of huge logs, and when he sits in the house, he just has to lift his head and he can see the majestic, incomparable Himalayas, the snow on the mountains, and the snow exposed in the snow. The rocks that come here, and the blue sky that looks particularly blue, will make people feel spacious and feel indescribably comfortable. He has lived in this small town in the north of Nepal for almost half a year, but he is really reluctant to leave .

He had absolutely no intention of leaving, and if it hadn't been for the tape, the letter that came with it, the note that he and his uncle had attached when he transferred the tape, he would never have thought of leaving this place. In such a quiet and beautiful place, there is no one to harass him. He can concentrate on admiring the majestic mountains and learning the sharp machete skills from the local natives. But now, it seems that all this is coming to an end! The young man sighed, he bowed, and picked up his uncle's note again, he had seen it many times, he lived in a small town in the north of Nepal, only his uncle knew about it.

His uncle's note read: I know you don't like to be disturbed, and I know you don't like to be intimidated, but I think I should let you know about it. a letter fromSorry, I have already seen the letter, that's why the tape and the letter are being forwarded to you.Furthermore, I have no opinion on this matter, and you can deal with it entirely according to your own opinion. The young man sighed again, and he picked up another piece of letterhead. This letterhead was light beige, with a light gold stamp on one corner, and a logo printed on it. Youxiang, the letter is written in French, and the handwriting is extremely beautiful: I will send you a tape to let you know where the problem is. I don't know where you are, but I know where your uncle is. He will definitely pass it on for me. Here you are, because although I can't find out where you are hiding, the Indian tiger must be able to find out, contact me quickly, I need your help!

The young man put down the letter heavily and looked at the tape recorder. He naturally knew who wrote the letter: Princess Orika, that leopard-like woman! The young man sighed again, stood up lazily, yawned, poured out the ashes in his pipe, refilled it with tobacco, but left the house without lighting the fire again. He drove a jeep through rugged mountain roads to Kathmandu, where he boarded a plane, passed through New Delhi, and began to enter the civilized world full of noise and disputes. Two days later, he saw his uncle, who patted him hard on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, I don't want to see you fall under the hands of a woman!" The young man took a breath and said, "If I need help, will you help me?" His uncle replied bluntly, and said: "No, you should go see her quickly. Fortunately, you arrived in time. I think you have to drive fast. Otherwise, she will get impatient waiting at the hotel. Besides, I heard that The Indian tiger has also arrived here. I think it was probably called by her, so as to pose a threat to you! The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, look, what exactly does she want me to do?" His uncle frowned, and said: From that tape, I think it has something to do with gold smuggling! The young man smiled bitterly again. He stroked his face with his hands and walked out. He didn't run a red light, because he was sure that when he got off the plane, Princess Orika would know that he had arrived, and she must also know He had come to see her. The elevators in the hotel are crowded, and the weather is not too cold, but the heating in the hotel is already on, making people very uncomfortable. The young man stepped out of the crowded elevator, walked for a while in the corridor, and stopped in front of a door. , he just stretched out his hand to knock on the door, and the door opened. It was Princess Orika who opened the door. The young man said sincerely: You are so touching! The princess is really moving. She is wearing a floor-length gauze dress, lake blue, with black hair hanging down her shoulders, and the back of her hand with creamy skin is exposed, and it wraps softly around the young man's neck. The young man kissed her on the cheek. The princess smiled charmingly and brought the young man in. It seemed that she was the only one in the gorgeous suite. When the amber-like wine began to rippling in the glass, the young man said: "What is it, you should tell." The princess leaned on the young man's shoulder, turned the wine glass, and said: You should know that if it was something I could do by myself, I wouldn't come to you. You only owe me one thing, and I won't waste it. The young man said: Yes, it should be kept for saving lives! The princess sighed lowly, and said: That's right! The young man straightened up abruptly, because before the incident, he never thought that it was a matter of life and death, and what he said just now was just a way of saying that he was not angry at being coerced, It wasn't intentional, but the princess's reaction was beyond his expectation. He looked at the princess, and the princess's eyebrows were frowned. Although it seemed that she didn't want to show the worry in her heart, it was still revealed between the eyebrows.Of course, the young man also thought that it might be her affectation, but if a person can control her appearance so well, then she is undoubtedly the world's top actress! The young man only stayed for a moment, then laughed and said, "Really?"Who is it that is bothering you? The princess smiled bitterly again, and said, "I caused the trouble in the first place!" The young man only raised his eyebrows without expressing any opinion. The princess sighed again, and said, "Have you never heard of someone in Europe offering a reward to someone who can overcome difficulties and meet their requirements?" The young man shook his head and said: "I didn't hear that he immediately made a gesture to prevent the princess from speaking, and said: I have lived in seclusion at the foot of the Himalayas for more than half a year. This may be a sensation, but I really don't know." , do not know at all. The princess sighed again, and said: I can trust you, because if you knew, you must have come forward to help them solve their problems, not me! The young man adjusted his sitting posture to be more comfortable, and said: What is the problem? But the princess didn't say anything immediately, she just scratched her fingernails on the armrest of the sofa, she looked a little pitiful, her long eyelashes were flickering slightly, and her voice was more pleasant, she said: "Maybe I'm too greedy." The reward for doing this is an old castle built in the 16th century in Luxembourg, with 250 rooms When she said this, she raised her head, her eyes sparkled, and she said: "That is a real castle. There is not an inch of space in the whole building. It is not an antique. After the castle was completed, there were at least ten monarchs. Lived or held conferences in that old castle! The young man shook his head when the princess began to speak of the castle, until the princess stopped talking. The princess looked at the young man and said, "You don't think it's worth it?" The young man continued to shake his head and said, "It's not worth it. Even picking up a handkerchief is not worth it for the sake of this ancient castle. Can you imagine how much it would cost to maintain such an ancient castle a month?" The princess bit her lower lip and smiled softly. The princess smiled and said, "I know, I asked experts to estimate that the maintenance fee is about six million dollars a year." The young man spread his hands and said: Yes, six million dollars can buy a lot of things. The princess looked directly at the young man and said, "You think, if I get that old castle, I'll leave it empty and spend maintenance fees every month to maintain it?" The young man was stunned again, and then said: I don't see any special way for you, Luxembourg is really not a tourist attraction. The princess laughed again, and said: Florida is a tourist attraction! The young man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization, and then laughed loudly, saying: "Good idea, sell it to the Americans like London Bridge." Olika smiled happily. Although there was still a little sadness in her brows, she said: Yes!Americans want anything as long as it's older than their country. The young man shrugged and said: You have to find a buyer first. The princess said: I found it! The young man raised his eyebrows, he didn't make a sound, but his expression was clearly asking someone! The princess's lips flickered slightly, and a person's name came out from her plump and seductive lips: King Kong. This time, the young man was not only stunned for a while, but also stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly: King Kong! Princess Orika's expression was a bit bitter, but she still whispered: King Kong. The young man walked back and forth a few steps, everyone could see how shocked and disturbed he was at that moment, he said again: "King Kong, uh, King Kong."Then, he also laughed bitterly, and said: You really found the best buyer, eh, King Kong! The princess sighed and said: "Yes, he is a good buyer. He can afford a good price. He paid 40 million US dollars to buy the old castle, and he is completely responsible for the relocation of the old castle. Every inch of the old castle had been taken down and built exactly as it was in Florida for his own residence, to make himself really like an emperor. The young man didn't sit down until the princess stopped talking, and muttered: Actually, he has long been the emperor! The young man is right. Even if King Kong is not the emperor, he is almost the same as the emperor. King Kong is actually not his name, but his nickname. He can very effectively control the life or death of more than 50,000 of his subordinates. He is his ruler. The emperor of that group. There are all kinds of talents under King Kong's hands. How King Kong got his first capital is no longer testable.But now, he employs more than 30 experts with an annual salary of 200,000 US dollars to deal with his property, making his property reach astronomical figures, but even so, until now, King Kong still controls several illegal organizations, This is also an open secret. There is a legend that, in order to avoid buying assassins, King Kong has long stated that any professional murderer can get ten times the reward as long as he can provide information that is not good for him. People always die at the hands of the murderers they bought, and in the past five years, no one is stupid enough to compare money with King Kong. King Kong also recruited almost all the first-class professional killers in the world. He is a business-minded person, and he will not keep those professional killers in vain. Therefore, he also became the manager of these first-rate professional killers. Buy murder commission.He actually did several sensational assassinations, but no matter how much he investigated, he couldn't find the perfect crime in him. Such a character, the young man couldn't help shaking his head again. The princess looked at the young man and said: "Originally, the matter is very simple. As long as I finish this matter, the castle will be in my hands, and I will collect money from King Kong, and it will be settled, but I The young man said: But you can't solve that problem! The princess said faintly: Yes, that’s not a problem. The problem is that I have already received a 10% deposit from King Kong, and King Kong doesn’t like being cheated the most. If the delivery date comes and I can’t hand over the castle, King Kong will think that I am cheating him, and he will When the princess said this, her complexion became very pale, and, involuntarily, she shivered. The young man didn't make a sound, but the princess's voice almost seemed to be choking, she said: "There are only twenty days until the scheduled delivery date!"So I thought of you, only you can help me solve that problem! The young man stood up again, came to the window, and said: What is the problem?It's not necessarily triangular, is it? Princess Orika smiled wryly and said: I have no time to appreciate your humor, you promised to do something for me! The young man turned around abruptly and said: "Yes, but this must be done. You tell me to go to the moon, or I can hide in a spaceship, but if you tell me to move the whole moon Down, that is absolutely impossible. Princess Orika frowned, and after a while, she said: You have to go to a place with me first. The young man didn't make a sound, and the princess said again: "Go to South Africa!" South Africa is a strange place, or one of the few remaining strange places, where people of color are blatantly excluded and discriminated against, and are at the heart of the nation. When the young man stepped out of the airport in Johannesburg, although he was surrounded by a black-haired beauty who was attracting everyone's attention, and he was treated first-class, he still had an indescribable feeling of strangeness. However, the young man didn't pay much attention to this aspect. During the whole journey, he was just thinking: What is the problem that Princess Orika encountered? His uncle had told him that it might have something to do with gold smuggling, and he could be sure of it as soon as he knew that the princess was taking him to South Africa, because South Africa was where gold was produced. However, what he didn't understand was that almost every corner of the world has gold smugglers, and almost any gold smuggler has their own way to transport the gold here and there. Why must Princess Orika come here? Where are you looking for him? During the journey, the princess didn't mention anything about the problem to him, not even when she got off the plane and in the car. But the young man could see on the princess's face that her thoughts were getting heavier and heavier. The young man was not in a hurry to know, because he was sure that the time to reveal it would not be too far away. The car passed through the urban area of ​​Johannesburg, and stopped in front of a majestic and tall building. It was a famous and aristocratic hotel. As soon as the car stopped, the waiters in brightly colored uniforms appeared at the entrance of the hotel. Grab it and open the door. However, before the waiter's hand touched the car door, a tall man in a snow-white suit appeared beside him. Compared with the suit on his body, his skin looked darker. He drove away, and then opened the door. The young man got out of the car first, and naturally, he glanced at the big man, and a question suddenly arose in his heart. The big man was tall, more than six feet tall, with deep eyes and a high nose, and with loose and thick hair and beard, he was clearly Aryan, that is to say, an Indian. Then, the princess got out of the car, and the young man glanced at the princess. The princess seemed to be apologetic, and said in a low voice: "He is the servant of the friend we are going to see!" The young man was slightly startled again, and he almost blurted out a sentence, but he held back in an instant.The question he wanted to ask was: who are we going to meet?And the reason why he didn't say it was because he immediately thought of who he was going to meet. When the young man was thinking about who he was going to meet, he glanced at the princess again. The princess smiled at him apologetically, lowered her voice, and said, "Sorry, I didn't tell you beforehand. The young man just smiled, took the princess's arm, and walked towards the hotel's gate. At the same time, he said in a nonchalant voice: Why didn't you tell me in advance?Are you afraid that I will not come if I know? The princess smiled charmingly, and said: "I don't know why, but I know, even if I tell you, you will definitely come!" The young man smiled lightly again, and said: I thought this was between you and the European Group. The princess smiled and said: Yes, but he is the original client. The young man hummed and said: Yes, gold can only be sold at the highest price in his country! The princess took a breath. Although she just glanced at the young man, she couldn't hide her sincere admiration for the young man in that look. They walked through the lobby and entered the elevator, and the big man over six feet tall followed them in. When the elevator door was about to close, an elderly gentleman hurried in. The old gentleman did not smoke, but he was holding a pipe in his hand, and his body exuded a scent of tobacco, which was familiar to young people. The young man laughed and winked secretly at the old gentleman, but the old gentleman didn't seem to notice at all.Of course the young man did not feel the slightest doubt because of this, he absolutely did not have to doubt that the familiar smell of tobacco was something he was used to smelling when he was just a toddler. He said he couldn't help, but he came anyway. The young man felt refreshed. The elevator went up to the twelfth floor, and the old gentleman walked out. There were only six people left in the elevator. He continued to go up. When he reached the eighteenth floor, the elevator door opened. Indians in white suits are waiting. The princess took the young man out of the elevator and walked through the corridor. The young man noticed that on this floor, the hotel's original waiters had been transferred. The people walking in and out of the corridor were all Indians who were over six feet tall and wearing white suits. People, and they have a common feature, that is, their expressions are completely cast, and the muscles on their faces are all rigid, the type that doesn't know how to move. The young man and the princess didn't stop until they came to a door guarded by two big men in white suits. As soon as they stopped, one of the two big men guarding the door turned sideways, opened the door, and immediately retreated to the place where he was standing before. The princess walked in with the young man on his arm. As soon as the young man entered, before he could see the situation in the room clearly, he heard a roar, and a hoarse voice shouted: You are late, baby! The young man stopped for a while, and a big man, wearing a bright nightgown, had already charged towards him and the princess. The princess couldn't help but let out a low cry, and flashed behind the young man, and the young man also hurriedly stretched out his hand Forward, press a button. His hand didn't touch the man's body, and the man had already stopped, which proved that although the man's body was huge, he could control every muscle in his body freely. The young man looked at the man, and the man looked at the young man. Of course, the man was also an Indian. In fact, the young man could still know the exact origin of this man and everything about him in the past. The young man knew that the man was from Bahavapur, one of the countless states in northern India. He was born in a family of stewards, and his father was the steward of the king of Bahavapur. Yes, after his father passed away, he didn't continue to be the general manager. Instead, he poisoned the king of the earth and occupied the king's thirty-seven concubines. Under the siege of the king's army, he set fire to the earth king's palace and fled. Since then, he has become one of the most dangerous people in India, or in the entire East. No one knows his original name, but Everyone knows his nickname: Indian Tiger. The young man looked at the Indian tiger pretending not to know, and the Indian tiger also looked at the young man. To be honest, the most uncomfortable thing in the world is to be stared at by someone like an Indian tiger with his eyes. The eyes of the Indian tiger are small and protrude outwards. His eyeballs are a strange gray color, as if they were not born in the eye sockets, but outside the eye sockets, floating on the white of the eyes, and can fall at any time. Stone.Of course, if it were really two small stones, it would never cause the person being watched to feel so uncomfortable. However, those two small stones are alive, emitting an indescribable evil poison, A tyrannical look came. The young man and the Indian tiger looked at each other for about half a minute, and the Indian tiger roared again, his voice was high and hoarse, which made his gums sore, and he called to the princess behind the young man: Baby, you bring such a person to see him Me, for what? The princess had regained her composure, and she could still keep smiling before looking at the furious Indian tiger. Princess Orika smiled and said: If he can't help you solve the problem, then no one else in the world can help you solve it! The Indian tiger glared at the young man again, then suddenly laughed strangely, pointed at the tip of the princess's nose, and said, "Baby, it's not for me, it's for you!" The princess smiled wryly, then glanced at the young man again, and said: If I had known that he was the client behind the European Group, I would never have disturbed this matter. The young man tried his best to put a smile on his face, but in fact, the muscles on his face were a little numb due to stiffness. This is really unexpected, he will stand face to face with the Indian tiger!There is nothing scary about the young man, but if he had known for sure that he was going to face an Indian tiger before he got on the plane, he might really have considered running away and hiding in the middle of nowhere. At this time, he also knew why his uncle had come. Of course, his uncle knew the reason why the Indian tiger was going to meet him, and the Indian tiger was such a dangerous person! Even if they are equally dangerous people, the young people will not be so nervous at this time, but the Indian tiger is different. Because the young man once stole the gold in the vault of the Indian Tiger black organization, which caused the black organization to disintegrate. take his life.He promised Princess Orika to help her because the princess knew his secret.But he never imagined that because he wanted to help the princess, he would have to be face to face with the Indian tiger. The young man couldn't help but glanced at the princess. The princess obviously didn't have much experience of being pointed at the tip of her nose, so she seemed at a loss. The young man stretched out his hand, pushed the Indian tiger's hand away, and said: Who is the problem, in short, there is a problem, right? The Indian tiger took a step back, glared at the young man, and suddenly shouted in an extremely hasty voice: Name, origin, all information about yourself, tell me quickly! The young man shrugged and said: No, nothing! The Indian tiger's expression was already very angry, but when the young man stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of his nose, he became really furious. Pointing to the tip of his nose, the young man said: Listen, you are the one who begged me for something, not me begging you! The Indian tiger let out a roar, and reached out to grab the young man's wrist. The young man had expected this move, and immediately grabbed it with his backhand. The hands of the two were immediately held tightly together. The hands of the two people were tightly held together, and they pulled back at the same time. Neither of them pulled the other. The Indian tiger kicked the young man. The strength in the young man's hand suddenly loosened, and the Indian tiger leaned back. Go, the young man jumped up, and the Indian tiger kicked the air. The young man was already on top of his head, and he rolled over. The hands of the two were still clasped. The young man rolled over to the back of the Indian tiger. Turning the Indian tiger's arm completely backwards, the Indian tiger let out a strange cry, four big men in white suits rushed over, the young man turned around, let go, stretched out his hand on the shoulder of the Indian tiger, and patted it gently. After a while, he said: This is a child's game, I really don't want to play anymore! The Indian tiger also turned around quickly and stared at the young man, blinking his eyes for a full minute. During that minute, the young man was clenching his fists, and his fists were constantly sweating, because no one could predict what the Indian tiger would do when it became fierce! This minute was too long, until the Indian tiger turned around slowly, the young man let out a sigh of relief, the Indian tiger walked away, stretched out his hand and pushed away the two big men in white suits, and sat down. down. The princess hurried to the young man's side, and the young man gave the princess a wink, and they sat down together. The Indian tiger looked at them and said: I am not an unreasonable person, but I cannot tolerate being cheated. I entrusted a European group to do something, and the people of this group agreed to me, but they entrusted others, and entrusted her. The Indian tiger pointed at Princess Orika, who immediately showed a bitter smile. The Indian tiger said again: This is already a kind of deception to me, so I punished the three leaders of this group. When the Indian tiger said this, the princess's body shook involuntarily, and when the young man looked at her, she turned her head sideways to avoid the young man's gaze. The young man knew in his heart that she must have known about this for a long time, but she kept it from him and never told him as if she wanted to bring him to meet the Indian tiger. The Indian tiger suddenly laughed and said: Do you want to know how I will punish these three people?Ha ha! He was smiling and waving his hands. A big man in a white suit immediately handed over a huge kraft paper bag. The Indian tiger took it, opened the bag, and pulled out three color photos that were two square feet in size. Come on, Princess Olika immediately let out an exclamation, turned her face around, and put it on the young man's shoulder, and the young man also felt sick for a while! The Indian tiger seemed to appreciate the image in the photo very much. While looking at it, he pointed to a photo, raised his head to the big man beside him, and said, "This knife is not straight enough. His nose should be chopped off in the middle." Open, the left and right are exactly the same, it should not be oblique!He raised his head again, and said to the young man: It is a custom in our hometown to chop twenty knives on the face of a person who deceives others. The young man snorted, and he didn't want to look at those photos again, because the face in the photos that had been cut into blood was really disgusting. The Indian tiger smiled triumphantly, put the photo on the table, stared at the young man, and said: "She has accepted the commission, if she can't complete it, then the punishment she will receive will be exactly the same." The young man took a deep breath. Until now, he finally fully understood the situation of Princess Olika, and he also understood that Princess Olika was really at a critical moment of life and death. The young man stretched out his hand and turned over the photos on the table. He looked very calm and said, "If a person can't do this, even if you threaten to chop eighty knives on his face, he still can't do it." . The Indian tiger said grimly: Not necessarily, at least it will make this person do it desperately! The princess had already sat up straight, her face was very pale. When the young man looked at her, the apology in her eyes was even more serious. The young man patted the back of her hand gently. The young man said: "I don't think gold smuggling is a big problem. Why do you take it so seriously?" The Indian tiger widened his eyes and said, "The question is how much, one hundred kilograms?"A thousand kilograms?I can ship it all back. The young man said: You don't necessarily want to move the South African gold mines back to India! The Indian tiger nodded and said: You guessed it! The young man stood up abruptly. Moving a gold mine to India, if it wasn't for his ear problems, then the Indian tiger must be going crazy.That is absolutely impossible. 印度老虎冷冷地望著年輕人,道:那是一座小型金礦,我已經經營了十年,沒有人知道我是這座金礦的主人,這座金礦,每年生產純金四千六百公斤,十年來所生產的接近五萬公斤,而現在,已經開採完了,金礦也已經封閉了,我要將這個金礦中提出來的金子,全運回去。 年輕人吁了一口氣,是的,這種情形,可以說是要將整座金礦運回印度去,但形式上當然不同,所要運的,是五萬公斤黃金,而不是整座金礦。 年輕人又坐了下來,在剎那間,他迅速地在轉著念,他是在計算,五萬公斤的黃金,體積是多少,體積並不大,大約是兩點五立方公尺,如果將五萬公斤黃金,鑄成一塊,和一張普通寫字枱所佔的空間差不多,可是它的重量,卻是五萬公斤,超過七萬磅。 年輕人眨著眼,道:這些黃金,你放在甚麼地方? 印度老虎突然發出了一連串的咒罵聲,他在罵的時候,所用的語言,是印度北方的土語,年輕人一個字也聽不懂,可是從他面肉抽搐的那種神情來看,可知他的心中,一定十分憤恨。 公主低聲道:別問他,他做了一樁蠢事,他相信了那個足球隊走私黃金的故事。 年輕人陡地縱笑了起來,道:他不是將所有的黃金,全鑄成了足球吧! 公主也忍不住笑了起來,道:正是,一共是兩百八十二個。 要不是印度老虎的臉色,變得如此之難看,年輕人一定會忍不住大笑而特笑,兩百八十二個純金的足球,只有白癡才會想到用這種方法,可以將這五萬公斤黃金,運進印度去! 印度老虎面色鐵青,惡狠狠地說道:別笑,這是你們的事情,黃金到不了印度,你們的臉上 他講到這裏,陡地翻回几上的照片來,神情更加兇狠。 年輕人又將照片翻回去,道:你想要這批黃金到達印度,首先就要停止對我們的威脅,這件事,在你看來,好像是做不到,但是在我看來,卻再簡單也沒有,不過,我需要時間。 印度老虎用極疑惑的眼光,望著年輕人,然後問道:你要多久? 年輕人道:你在這裏,將金子移交給我,一個月之後,你在印度收黃金。 印度老虎的神情,更加疑惑,年輕人立時伸出手來,道:不必問我用甚麼法子,那是我的秘密! 印度老虎笑了起來,道:你應該知道,如果你欺騙了我的話 年輕人冷冷地道:別再多說了,我知道你吃過大虧,你的賞格再高,到現在也還沒有甚麼結果! 公主現出吃驚的神色來,印度老虎的臉色鐵青,雙手緊握著拳,年輕人卻神色自若,印度老虎緩緩鬆開了緊捏的手,向一個大漢揮了揮手。 那大漢提著一個公事包,走了過來,放在几上,印度老虎道:拿去,全部資料都在裏面,你可以憑裏面的文件,得到那批黃金。 年輕人笑了笑,道:兩百八十二隻金足球! 印度老虎的神情有點尷尬,但立時又兇狠地道:從今天起,我給你一個月時間! 年輕人嘆了一聲,手按在公事包上,奧麗卡公主望著他,年輕人的心中在苦笑,一邊是印度老虎,一邊是金剛,而他只有一個月的時間。 印度老虎面上的肉抽搐著,公主不由自主,向年輕人靠近些,印度老虎重複道:記住,一個月! 年輕人提著公事包,站了起來,道:好吧! 印度老虎的神情,既兇狠又不放心,他盯著年輕人,又加了一句,道:你要知道,如果你不能為我做到這件事,會有甚麼後果! 年輕人已經挺直了身子,他直視著印度老虎,並且,緩緩的伸出手指來,在印度老虎的肋骨上,輕輕戳了一下,印度老虎的一生之中,顯然很少遇到這樣的事,是以他陡地後退了一步,怪聲叫了起來。 年輕人冷冷地道:你要記住兩點,第一,我不是為你做這件事,我是為奧麗卡;第二,你自己做不成的事,要求別人做,最好就是完全相信別人! 印度老虎的雙眼睜得極大,眼珠轉動著,面肉在不住地抽搐。 年輕人說完之後,向奧麗卡望了一眼,就提著公事包,向門口走去,當他和奧麗卡來到門口的時候,才聽得印度老虎發出了一聲怒吼,道:站住! 年輕人站住,但是並不轉過身來,奧麗卡公主緊張地握住了年輕人的手,印度老虎的聲音之中,充滿了憤怒,大聲道:我不是做不成這件事,而是我太有名了,不能做,而你能做,因為你是一個無名小卒! 年輕人只是聳了聳肩,並沒有其他任何表示,打開門,輕輕推開了站在門外的一個穿白西裝的大漢,奧麗卡公主緊緊挽著他,走廊看來好像特別長,好不容易來到了電梯門前,進了電梯,公主才吁了一口氣,低聲說道:對不起,真的,對不起。 年輕人沒有出聲,只是皺著眉,他們一起走出了酒店,一路上,公主大約說了十遍以上對不起,聲音一次比一次低,眼中流露出來的歉意,也一次比一次為甚,可是年輕人卻始終不出聲。 一直到公主第十五次說對不起之際,他們已經來到了另一間酒店的房間中了,年輕人才道:沒有甚麼,我知道你現在有點後悔了。 公主咬著下唇,低下頭去。 年輕人放下手中的公事包,托著公主的下頷,令她抬起頭來,道:你像是一個頑皮的孩子,專喜歡玩危險的遊戲,我不相信你在乎出賣那座古堡所得的錢,你早就知道你做不成這件事,你也早就想到了我,你的目的,只不過是想看看,我是不是做得成這件事而已。 公主垂著眼瞼,長睫毛在輕輕抖動著,年輕人顯然已說中了她的心事。 年輕人繼續說道:你可能會失望,因為有一些事情,在想像中,很熱鬧有趣,可是,在實際進行之中,可能乏味得很的。 奧麗卡公主沒有出聲,只是後退了幾步,坐了下來,仍然垂著頭,低聲道:現在我們可以退出麼? 年輕人忽然笑了起來,他的心中忽然起了一股衝動,很想衝過去,拉住公主黑色的頭髮,將她提起來,在她的臉上,狠狠摑上兩掌這是懲治頑童的最好方法。 可是他沒有那麼做,只是有點僵直地站著,連他自己也不知道為了甚麼。 就在這時候,房門上傳來了敲門聲,年輕人揚了揚眉,走過去,將門打開。 站在門口的,是一個身形十分魁梧的中年人,年輕人攔在門口,並不準備讓這個人進來,而且,用一種疑惑的眼光,打量著他。 那中年人伸手,取出了一份證件來,打開,送到年輕人的面前,道:我是弗烈警官,可以進來麼? 年輕人沒有出聲,只是讓了讓身子,弗烈警官走了進來,銳利的目光四下掃射著,又向公主禮貌地行了一個禮,年輕人站在他的身後,道:怎麼樣,不是我的旅行證有問題吧? 弗烈警官有點誇張地道:不是,當然不是,歡迎你光臨! 年輕人笑了笑,道:你們的歡迎方法很特別,我相信我一踏上你們的土地,就已經受到了特別的照顧。 弗烈警官也笑了笑,道:先生,那是因為你是一個特別的人物,我們花了很多時間,和各地聯絡過,可是完全沒有你的任何資料。 年輕人陡地縱聲笑了起來,而且坐了下來。 年輕人坐了下來之後,指了指身邊的沙發,示意弗烈警官也坐下來,然後他道:警官,根據聯合國最近的統計,世界上的人口,是三十一億三千六百萬,不見得每一個人都在警方存有資料。 弗烈警官直視年輕人,道:當然,但是也不是每一個人一到就和印度老虎見面的。 年輕人將身子靠在沙發背上,道:如果印度老虎在這裏犯法,你們應該去對付他! 弗烈警官忙搖著手,道:沒有,他在這裏,完全是合法的 他講到這裏,身子向前略俯了俯,壓低了聲音,道:不過我們知道,過去十年來,他一直擁有一個金礦,這個金礦所生產的黃金,從來也未曾申請過出口,估計十年來,已到了三萬公斤這個數字,朋友,如果你想將這批黃金私運出口,那麼,我們的監獄中,日子並不怎麼好過,和這裏差得遠了。 年輕人神態很悠然,道:我想世界上不會有甚麼監獄是有趣的,多謝你提醒我,不過,作為一個好的警務人員,你的做法,好像有點不對頭,因為我可以告你恐嚇我。 弗烈警官略怔了一怔,但隨即笑了起來,道:謝謝你提醒我,為了報答你,我再提醒你一件事,不但將三萬公斤黃金私運出口,是不可能的事,想將三萬公斤黃金,運到印度去,更是不可能的事,你很聰明,奧麗卡公主也是世界上最可人的女友,朋友,你自己想想吧! 年輕人伸了一個懶腰,道:警官,我百分之一百同意你的話,要是誰想那樣做,那麼,他不是超人,就是白癡了,對麼? 弗烈警官站了起來,道:完全同意!對不起,打擾了兩位,我告辭了。 他轉過身,向門口走去,年輕人也站了起來,說道:等一等,我忘了請問一句 弗烈警官轉過身來,直視著年輕人,年輕人道:如果將三萬公斤黃金,要公開申請運出貴國,有甚麼手續? 弗烈警官略怔了一怔,攤了攤手,道:很困難,每年黃金出口的數字,有一定的限制,只怕要全部運出口,至少要等上十年八年。而且,還未必批准! 年輕人啊的一聲,道:原來是這樣! 弗烈警官又瞪了年輕人一眼,看他的樣子,像是想說些甚麼,但是他未曾講出來,就走了出去。 弗烈警官走了之後,年輕人又坐了下來,奧麗卡公主低聲說道:你準備怎麼辦? 年輕人又呆坐了一會,才抬起頭來,道:你可知道有甚麼地方,可以躲藏起來,不被人找到? 奧麗卡公主咬了咬下唇,道:那要看找你的是甚麼人,才能有答案。 年輕人道:印度老虎和金剛! 公主苦笑了起來,道:據我知道,世界上還沒有這樣的地方。 年輕人站起來,來回踱了幾步,來到了電話旁,將電話聽筒拿了起來,伸向公主,道:打電話給玲瓏手,他或者會想到有這樣一個地方,他一定會替你找到這樣一個地方讓你躲起來。 公主的神情有幾分驚訝,也有幾分尷尬,年輕人冷冷地說道:快,我早就知道,你是在玲瓏手那裏,知道我的秘密的了。 公主走了過來,在年輕人的手中接過電話,年輕人立時提起公事包,向門口走去,一面走,一面道:你一找到了可以躲藏的地方,就立即去躲起來,直到聽到印度老虎和金剛不再找你為止! 公主有點焦急,道:你 年輕人道:別理我! 公主吸了一口氣,道:我怎麼和你聯絡? 年輕人繼續走向門口,道:根本沒有必要再聯絡! 年輕人已經來到門口了,公主的聲音更焦急,道:你至少應該知道我躲在甚麼地方! 年輕人已經抓住了門柄,他並不回頭,道:沒有必要,我不知道你躲在甚麼地方,不論在甚麼情形之下,危險的只是我一個人,你是安全的,只求玲瓏手不要像出賣我一樣出賣你,那就好了。 公主呆呆地站著,年輕人已經拉開了門,走向外,公主的神情更焦切,她實在想說些甚麼,再將年輕人留住一會,可是她發覺心頭一片茫然,竟然一句話也說不出來。 年輕人走出了房門,反手將門關上,房門關上的聲音並不大,可是那啪的一聲,卻像是在公主的心頭,造成了重重的一擊。 她呆呆地站立了好久,才按了按電話,用低沉的聲音,道:接線生,請替我接羅馬的長途電話。 然後,她放下了電話,坐了下來,坐著發怔,心頭感到一片空虛。
