"Okay, no one can guarantee safety 100%, it's good to be able to do it to this extent!" Hou Rui first affirmed Guan Hu's work, and then looked at everyone's faces one by one, and said in a solemn tone:

"When it's almost time, Lux, you'll go in first and see what's going on inside, and then I'll go in five minutes, and the rest of the people will follow the plan. After listening to Hou Rui, everyone in the car nodded their heads in understanding.

When the van arrived at the fifteenth street mentioned by the Pope, and the 24-hour neon sign of Crown Coffee could be seen from a distance, the time was only half past ten, and it was still early from the agreed time, so Hou Rui thought about it and ordered: "There is still some time, then let's rest in the car for a while, ape, you can debug the system first, and you can take turns to close your eyes for a while." ”

But although everyone agreed very happily, but one by one, their eyes widened, and they followed the windows of the car at all angles, paying close attention to the small movements around them, and meeting an old guy like the Pope, everyone did not dare to relax too much.

Soon it was 11 o'clock, sitting in the back of the car, the ape-man with his face directly surrounded by three 18-inch monitors, he suddenly shouted: "Leader, the target he left the cathedral and was getting into a taxi, but the target's speed was too fast, my little pet was lost, and I am now using a drone to try to find it." ”

"Well, I'll leave it all to you. Hou Rui said calmly.

It's a pity that after this, the ape-man and his drone didn't find the trace of the taxi in the night traffic, but since everyone has guarded the main entrance of the crown coffee, there is no worry that the Pope will not appear.

At three quarters past 11 o'clock, the voice of the elf came from the contact: "Attention, 1000 meters from the street on the left, a taxi is going straight ahead, and it is suspected that it is the car the target is occupiing." ”

But before he could speak, Guan Hu, who was still staring at the main entrance of Crown Coffee, also shouted: "My lord, a man and a woman have walked into the café, they suddenly appeared from the alley, I can't see their faces clearly." ”

"It's okay, I'll come!" The ape-man who took over the conversation quickly switched, and connected one of the monitors in front of him to the indoor monitor of the Crown Cafe, so that he could immediately see the faces of the man and the woman, and although the other party was disguised, the ape-man still shouted very decisively:

"Leader, these two are members of the Pope's squad, if only you and Lux go in, it will be too risky, they have more than four people inside, and we can't completely suppress each other. ”

"Don't be impatient, let's see, isn't there still some time!" But Hou Rui was very calm, as if he was not worried about meeting for a while, which calmed everyone's impatience, and everyone led by the ape man gradually returned to a calm state.

4-5 minutes later, the taxi stopped at the gate of the Crown Café, and a man wearing a long black trench coat and a top hat on his head got out of the car and walked straight in, and at this time, in the room on the third floor of the apartment building opposite the café, the elf had already seen the Pope's face through the scope of the M24.

When the elf relayed the news to everyone, everyone in the van was vaguely nervous again, but Hou Rui did not comfort everyone this time, because the appropriate tension can help everyone concentrate, and the refreshing effect of the threat is far more effective than that of coffee and other games.

As a result, in an atmosphere that was so tense that he was almost suffocated, he waited until 12 o'clock to 5 minutes, Hou Rui nodded slightly to Lux, and Lux immediately got out of the car, tightened the waist-length leather jacket on his body, and then walked towards the gate of Crown Coffee, and then opened the door and walked in without hesitation.

Waited patiently for another two minutes, until Lux started speaking in the public channel, Hou Rui quietly breathed a sigh of relief:

"In the café, I can see 7 people at the moment, 5 of them are customers, one woman and four men, the other two are waitresses and male cashiers, the target is sitting in the card booth in the left corner, the pair that just walked in is two tables away from the target, and the last two men are sitting alone, one with his back to the door, and the other is sitting on a high stool at the counter, and there is no problem with it. ”

"Be careful, I'll go in. After hurriedly saying this, Hou Rui opened the car door, and while he stepped out of the van, he also confirmed a sentence to the public channel: "Honey badger, tell your people to cheer up, I'm going in, and you can only do it when I hear from you." ”

"Good luck, good luck to you, Lord Damner!" replied quickly, at this moment, on this short, less than 300-meter-long street, the 10 members of the Honey Badger team had already lurked, as long as Hou Rui gave him an order, this group of people could tear apart any enemy, and at the worst, they could cover the safe evacuation of Hou Rui and others.

Step by step, he walked steadily to the door of the Crown Cafe, Hou Rui first knocked on the glass door inside, and then pushed the door and walked in, and at this time, above Hou Rui's head, a bell hanging on the door made a crisp sound of "jingle bell", which attracted the attention of everyone in the café.

So facing everyone's searching eyes, Hou Rui showed an indifferent expression, shook his eyebrows lightly, and said in a complaining tone: "It's really cold tonight, fortunately I can drink something hot here!"

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Hou Rui, everyone in the café withdrew their gaze, only the waitress still had a professional smile on her face, looked at Hou Rui's face and asked, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

"Let's start with a cup of black coffee, more milk and less sugar. Hey, the lemon mousse cake looks good, so get me a piece too. Hou Rui came to the counter and pointed to the cake in the Tongming pantry.

"Please wait a moment!" said the waitress first cut a piece of the cake for Hou Rui, and then turned around to make coffee for Hou Rui, but Hou Rui picked up the cake on the plate, looked at it briefly, and finally went straight past Lux's side, walked to the corner, and sat down generously opposite the Pope.

"Sir, don't mind sitting together!" Hou Rui said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter. Just like the voice he heard on the phone, after the Pope replied in an old voice, he raised his head slightly, revealed his face under the top hat, and looked at Hou Rui calmly.

According to the records of the organization, the Pope should be in his 50s this year, but his appearance is unusually old, at first glance it is no different from a 70-year-old man, not to mention the corners of his eyes, forehead, and mouth, not to mention the wrinkles, and the hair at the sideburns is even grayer.

He didn't rush to speak, Hou Rui first cut off a corner of the cake with a fork, and then put it in his mouth, while feeling the sourness of lemon and the sweetness of sugar, he also leaned on the back of the card seat, showing an intoxicated expression.

But under the table, Hou Rui quietly put a hand into the document bag and opened the detection instruments connected in series, but unfortunately the instruments did not find any chemical reaction of explosives, which proves that within 5 meters of Hou Rui, the Pope did not install any explosive devices, even if they really moved some secret hands and feet, then they did not want to use wireless detonation to activate it.

At this time, the Pope, who was sitting opposite, also seemed very calm, he picked up the coffee and took a sip, then put down the cup and continued to stir slowly with a small spoon.

2 minutes later, the black coffee ordered by Hou Rui was delivered, and after the waitress left the booth, Hou Rui poured milk into the coffee and said in a low voice: "It smells good, do you often come here, my lord?"

"Occasionally!" the Pope said coldly: "I've been sitting for a long time, you can just say anything directly, and I'll rush back to the Holy See in a while." ”

Not long ago, the little gang smashed a warehouse off the coast of New York, and we were originally aiming for a nuclear warhead flowing from Ukraine, but it turned out that hundreds of kilograms of high-level radioactive dirt were found, do you know about it?"

"Dirty, this is the first time I've heard of this!" The topic finally aroused the Pope's interest, and the old man's cloudy eyes finally flashed a glint.

"That's right, according to the investigation of the little gang, I think there may be a big move in the near future on Saturday, so I ran to ask you for help. ”

"How can I help in Italy with New York?"

"Hehe, you're being too modest, my lord, I suspect Saturday will be using dirt to divert our attention, that nuclear warhead has probably been delivered to Europe. ”

“…… This is indeed great news, but what can I do, I am just an old man who is dying. "As soon as it comes to the key issues, the Pope begins to play dumb in flagrant.

"Don't say that, Your Majesty, your squad has been operating in Rome for decades, and every street here is as familiar as your back garden, and this time I have received reliable news that an important member of the Saturday meeting is hidden in Italy, so I immediately thought of you, my lordship, and was ready to ask you for help. ”

There are too many lies to tell, whether it is physical or psychological, the guilt reaction will gradually disappear, so when Hou Rui tells this half-truth and half-truth story, his demeanor is quite natural, and people can't help but believe what he tells.
