It was the same London night as Charlie, but Liang Xi had no wine. He took a cup of black tea in his small apartment and looked at the computer screen thinking: Who smashed the other glass?
Don't think about it, the 24 hours approved by Liu Zhen is enough for Liang Xi to last a month. What Liang Xi thinks about is not the glass, but the person who smashed the glass. If the drunks didn't lie and they just smashed a piece of glass, it means that two people from different camps sneaked into their rented villa last night. Robbery? Although he is handsome, he doesn't seem to be that handsome. Robbery? Robbers with a bit of conscience should also know who is giving money to whom.
Liang Xi speculated that there were several reasons why the alcoholic accomplice sneaked into his villa. Assassination, kidnapping, theft. After the accident at Villa No. 11, the alcoholic accomplice found that he was staying in the villa under his real name. The accomplice of the alcoholic is inexplicably attacked by a group of mysterious men, and the alcoholic's accomplice hopes to find the answer in himself. Because my income does not match the price of the villa I live in.
But who is the other person? Liang Xi couldn't figure out the purpose of the other person. Whether it was robbery, assassination, or kidnapping, as long as it was aimed at him, he would choose the time to go to the villa when he was full. After ruling out all possibilities, Liang Xi speculated that his abnormal behavior of renting the villa alarmed the other party. Thinking of the various interest circles he was involved in, Liang Xi deduced that the only possibility was John's death.
No matter what the other party's intentions are, if they didn't succeed yesterday, they may do it again today. But because it was only possible, Liang Xi couldn't ask Liu Zhen and Baker for help. Furthermore, asking them for help may alarm the bad guys who were planning to do it.
Liang Xi reached in from the keyboard push-pull drawer on the table, touched upwards for a while, and took out a revolver. This gun was issued by Old John's father when he joined the army during World War II. Two years ago, after two burglary and homicide cases occurred near Liang Xi's residence, John gave this pistol to Liang Xi. Liang Xi refused. John told Liang Xi, I don't want you to be trapped in the room by several people with knives, waiting desperately for them to break through the door and cut your throat. In the end, Liang Xi accepted the pistol and went through the formalities to legally own the pistol.
Liang Xi checked the time, it was seven forty in the evening. Liang Xi downloaded a series on the computer, played it while playing, and turned on the external speaker. Then Liang Xi put the pistol in the drawer, set the alarm clock and went to bed without turning off the lights.
More than three hours later, Liang Xi was awakened by the vibration of the mobile phone. Liang Xi got out of bed, turned off the computer, turned off the speakers, turned off the lights, took the pistol, and sat on the chair facing the door.
?One o'clock in the morning is a good time if you have visitors. But Liang Xi couldn't sleep until one o'clock, because he always went to bed before 11 o'clock. This is the thinking of the detective Liang Xi. There is a high probability that there will be no visitors, after all, many things happen during the day. But as a detective, if you speculate that there will be visitors with a low probability in the near future, you must be prepared.
Sitting on a chair, Liang Xi used all kinds of thinking such as assumptions, reasoning, and inversions to think. He could only guess that it was related to John's death, but he still couldn't figure out the purpose of the infiltrator. He remembered that a glass smasher used a floor lamp, so Liang Xi saw the death mask on the opponent's face. He didn't know whether his fellow alcoholic smashed the glass with a floor lamp or with a potted plant.
When feeling sleepy, Liang Xi drank cold black tea to refresh himself. Until 1:20 in the morning, with the help of the sleep light, Liang Xi saw the door lock turning slowly. Liang Xi was very nervous and scared. The surge of adrenaline made his hands tremble and flustered, but Liang Xi still raised his gun to aim.
The door was slightly pushed open, and a black-robed man wearing a death mask squatted down and quickly entered the door. He didn't expect that what greeted him was a bullet. As soon as the gunshot rang out, the death mask rolled and closed the door, and the movement was done in one go. Liang Xi immediately hid in the bedroom and closed the door, leaning against the wall to call the police
"I got shot."
"Who did it?"
"Liang Xi."
"Location."
"Listen, I was seen running out of the apartment building by a few people after the shots were fired. There was my blood on the scene."
"I'll handle it. Where are you?"
"The woods on the south side of the Monument Park."
"I'll send the paramedics over right away. You can't go to the hospital."
"I know."
Karin put the phone aside and pressed her thigh with her hand, her blood was everywhere in the car. Karin couldn't figure out why Liang Xi squatted on himself? Assuming that Liang Xi was awakened and resisted with a gun, she would understand even if she was killed. But the moment Karin opened the door, she realized that Liang Xi was ambushing herself. Karin couldn't accept that a well-trained agent was ambushed by a civilian. This time, she didn't tell anyone about the break-in. The only one who would betray herself was herself. Karin couldn't figure it out at all.
The medical staff provided by Mark are two women in their forties,They helped Karin onto the van to prepare for the operation. Due to the undercover needs of Karin, only local anesthesia was used for the operation. There are not many inspection facilities. They talk to Karin during the operation, and judge Karin's condition from the conversation with Karin.
"John's adopted son? Liang Xi?" A woman clamped out the bullet: "22 bullets, it seems that today is your lucky day."
Karin endured the pain, and the operating bed was soaked in sweat all over her body. Karin asked, "What happened to John's adopted son?"
The woman began to stitch up the wound: "Many people misunderstand John and think he is just a very clever detective."
Karin: "Actually?"
The woman said: "In fact, he is a very smart detective. Don't you find it strange that his husband and wife have an adopted son who has no legal relationship in their fifties? With the conditions of their husband and wife, it is not difficult to adopt a child." .¡±
The woman said: "I know Mary. To be precise, my mother and Mary are friends, and our family is in the same community. So I know that Liang Xi is a young man that John likes very much. John is a terrible person, he will not With a gun, he can't fight, but he can predict your behavior. Unless you want to get rid of him, you'd better not provoke him, because you have no idea what his mind is thinking, he can tell you from your words and deeds How many of your secrets can be obtained on the Internet."
The woman said: "I know you are not convinced, but if you think about it from another angle, you will understand. Liang Xi will never be able to reach your fighting level. He doesn't even know where your next punch will be, and why your legs will move." So fast. It's like I can't understand why John can see my hidden secrets, how can he know where things are going."
Another woman said: "She doesn't want to admit that she is not as smart as Liang Xi."
The woman said: "I advise you to stop playing the game of using your own weaknesses against the strengths of others."
Karin said: "I don't think I'm stupid."
The woman said: "Even if John's IQ is higher than ordinary people, it will not be much higher. He is terrible in his thinking logic, observation, judgment, reasoning ability, etc."
"Thank you for the teaching, I will keep it in my heart." The anesthesia effect slowly faded, and Karin flushed the wound with alcohol again to make Karin stand still. Even so, she did not cry out the pain, and still tried to maintain a calm tone when talking to the two.
Women's appreciation: "As expected of MI6."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The woman said: "If Liang Xi is lying here, I guarantee that his screams can be heard all over London. So don't underestimate yourself, you have your abilities, and he has his abilities.?
