Chapter 476 Killing Intent in the Routine
Barney and Trenches hid on the top of the mountain and waited until after 2 pm before seeing a taxi drive up and take Virgil away.
Barney smiled and said to the trench, "It seems that this guy is really tired, and he doesn't even have the energy to drive back to Paris."
Trench shrugged, "At least we can be sure now that the oil painting is in this villa."
Barney nodded. The two of them watched Virgil carry painting barrels and wooden boxes into the van by himself from his home in Paris at 3 o'clock in the morning yesterday.
Then follow him all the way here.
Although he was worried about secret whistle or something, he didn't see Virgil move the painting bucket from the car into the hilltop villa.
But the box car didn't drive away, just the people left, so the things must be inside.
Trench looked at Barney and asked, "Should we sneak in, or tell Henry the news, and let him find a professional person to do the sneaking?"
Barney thought for a while, "It's better to wait for someone else to come, so as not to trigger the mechanism or the alarm or something, and the success will fall short in the end."
"That's the best."
The two went down the mountain all the way, drove to find a phone booth, and informed Li Changheng of the news.
Only now did he know his plan to oppress Virgil, and Li Changheng, who really succeeded, was overjoyed while thinking about who was best at sneaking in and opening the safe in his hands.
After much deliberation, the female killer Katalia is the one who is good at sneaking in, but the liar Aiwen should be the best at opening the vault.
The more people who can know, the worse it is for secrecy.
"Cut off the telephone line and power supply of that villa, will the alarm system be disarmed?"
Barney, who was holding the microphone, frowned and thought for a while before saying, "This needs to be investigated first to prevent that there is a generator in that villa."
After saying this, Barney shook his head, "That's not true. If there is no one to look after the villa, the fuel generator can only be used for emergency, and it cannot last for ten days or half a month."
Teng Teng, who listened sideways, frowned and said, "Could it be that we think too much and complicate things?
And, let's not forget, Virgil doesn't know he's being targeted.
So normally, if he really thinks it's dangerous, since he's already in Zurich, he might as well just hide the oil painting in UBS instead of that old-fashioned villa with no neighbors around. "
Li Changheng patted his head, there are too many scheming people, and he always thinks that others are as cautious as himself.
Moreover, this era is not the future. Speaking of security measures, the most commonly used one is a vault with a high security factor, and there are unremarkable places to hide things.
Otherwise, finding someone to install the latest alarm system would be worse than hiding those oil paintings in the downtown area.
Otherwise, even if the alarm goes off and the police drive over, the thief might have slipped away with his belongings.
Thinking of this, Li Changheng said, "Go ahead and have a look tonight."
"Understood, boss."
At 1:00 a.m. that night, the two disguised themselves as line inspectors of the Electricity Bureau, wearing bright yellow helmets, and drove a van with the outer shell of the car spray-painted to look like an engineering vehicle, and went straight up the mountain.
I didn't meet anyone along the way, and even the people who lived on the mountain only saw a few households.
Moreover, because these villas want to protect their privacy, they all have a path that winds tens or hundreds of meters before reaching the villas.
As a result, when looking at the villa on the road up the mountain, or looking at the road from the villa, the sight is blocked by trees and so on.
Barney and Trenches really felt that they might be thinking too much.
After arriving at the top of the mountain easily, the German-speaking Trenches took the information book and pretended to knock on the door of the villa. After waiting for a while, after confirming that there was really no one, not even a single sound, he nodded to Barney.
The next thing is simple, climb over the wall, drive the car into the fence, and pry open the door to enter the villa.
The two turned on the lights on their helmets and checked the villa for more than two hours with flashlights in their hands, but they didn't find any secret rooms or hidden doors.
Standing in the wine cellar, Teng Hao frowned and said, "This is wrong, Virgil's hair is already gray.
That is to say, the entrance to the secret room will definitely not be difficult to walk, otherwise, if we did not make a mistake yesterday, he would have been up all night and had been driving for 7 or 8 hours. and boxes? "
Barney nodded in agreement, and scanned the wine cellar again.
Suddenly said, "Ray, do you feel as if the floor has been cleaned?"
Teng Hao immediately lowered his head, shone the flashlight around, and said in surprise, "Dude, we two are so stupid.
The villa has been unoccupied for a long time, and Virgil must have known that he would leave footprints when he walked around, so he cleaned it after moving the oil paintings.
It was only then that I was so tired that I didn't even have the energy to drive the car, so I called a taxi back to Paris. "
Taking Barney out of the wine cellar first, the two of them just need to rule out the dusty rooms on the floor, and then shine the flashlight diagonally on the floor.
It soon became apparent that besides the footprints of the two of us, there were also many faint footprints of third parties.
Needless to say, this must be Virgil's.
This old guy was indeed thoughtful, but he might have lost his physical strength, so he only cleaned it once, and it was quite perfunctory in many places, which left some footprints that were not completely cleaned.
"This way," Trenches waved at Barney, lying on the ground directly, shining a flashlight on the floor while crawling forward.
After climbing for a few minutes and entering the kitchen on the first floor, Tenghan smiled, looked up and said to Barney, "This place is the cleanest.
Not only are the footprints gone, but there is also much less dust than other places. "
Barney immediately reacted, no need to guess, normally a person's subconscious will do things that he didn't notice.
The cleaner the kitchen is, the more it means that in Virgil's heart, this place is also the most important.
Even the place where he cleaned at the beginning was here.
But the two searched around for several times, but they still didn't find a secret door there.
In the end, there was no way, Barney said to the trench, "Could it be that the secret room is not here, but the mechanism to open the secret room is here?"
"Wait," a sense of fear suddenly rose in the trench.
He said anxiously, "If it's true what you said, does that mean we were tricked by that old man?"
Barney was taken aback for a moment, and saw Trenches say in a panic, "God, if he cleaned this place on purpose, didn't he mean it.
Once we move something that looks like a secret room mechanism, it may cause danger and even detonate this villa.
And the real secret room will be buried under the bombed villa? "
"FK", Barney was startled. Fortunately, both he and the trench crawled out of the dead.
Don't touch things you don't know or understand easily.
"Did you touch anything just now?"
Trench's eyes immediately turned to the cabinet, the stove or the surrounding walls.
Then he said to Barney, "What about you?"
