Chapter 52: Night Falls
"Xu is on the line," Sekine emphasized, "and he's going to talk to you." β
"Xu Changqing online? This is an internal police channel! How did he get in? β
The old policeman Utsumi could not have imagined that the switch system of the Horoza Police Station had long been blackened by Uesugi into a hornet's nest. Relying on superuser permissions, it is not too easy for him to grab a microphone. It is very reasonable and logical to forcibly be a microphone bully in the internal channel of the police station.
"Hey, Inspector Toshio Utsumi?" Xu Changqing said into the car phone connected by Bluetooth.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of the unstable signal, the tone of the inland sea was a little high, and he seemed emotional: "Xu, what do you want?" Are you defying our Fuso police? β
Xu Changqing shook his head helplessly: "I just want to remind you that the Treasure Exhibition may not be peaceful." Believe it or not, I'm not a fog demonβ"
"All the evidence points to you!" Utsumi yelled on the other side of the channel, "That hostage, Miss Nobuta, what did you do to her?" I warn you, Fuso is also subject to the death penalty! Don't think you can get away with the law! It's still too late for you to surrender yourself and release the hostages! β
It's impossible to communicate with this kind of stubborn old stubbornness. Xu Changqing sighed: "How can you believe it, I'm actually helping you." There are a lot of people with their eyes on the Treasure Show, so you better be careful. β
"Less nonsense! Want me to believe? Yes, follow me back to the police station first! β
By this time, the police car had already caught up. After all, the center of Horoza is heavily trafficked. Xu Changqing is not a god, no matter how good his driving skills are, he has to rely on four wheels to drive forward. There was a crossroads ahead, and he slammed the steering wheel, flicked his tail and drifted, turning 90 years onto another road.
Looking at Alfa Romeo roaring away, a certain housewife who was about to cross the zebra crossing was surprised. The half-sized boy next to her shook her arm: "Mom, it's Uncle Xu driving." Aunt Xia Cheng is also inside. β
That's right, next to the zebra crossing is Mrs. Uesugi who has returned from grocery shopping, and her child Tetsuo.
"Don't scream!" Mrs. Uesugi hurriedly told Tetsuo to shut up, "Let's go, let's go home quickly." β
However, Iron Man didn't do it. He saw the police car in the inland sea speeding forward, and his eyes lit up: "There are bad policemen, I'll help Uncle Xu!" As he spoke, he took out two tomatoes and an egg from Mrs. Uesugi's paper bag, and threw them away: "Eat my black shin towel and the secret meaning - ninja darts!" β
Maybe it's really talented, Iron Man's flying tomatoes and flying eggs are quite accurate. Crackle, snap, snap β the front windshield of the police car suddenly became a hodgepodge of tomato and egg soup. The policeman driving the car couldn't see the front and had to brake suddenly. Utsumi yelled at the microphone, and was thrown into the front row by inertia, rolling with Sekine and the others.
"Look at you!" Mrs. Uesugi stamped her foot and threw a tantrum at Tetsuo. Seeing that the people around them were silently looking at their mother and son, they were even more embarrassed. "Hurry home!" She dragged the iron man and ran, "I have to criticize you fiercely when I go back." β
Let's not mention how the iron man will be repaired when he returns home. Urgently braking in the police car on the street, it was a mess at the moment.
"He escaped again!"
Toshio Utsumi slapped his thigh and scolded angrily: "This cunning Xu boy! Who just threw the tomato and egg? β
The policeman who was driving the car said weakly, "It looks like a child." β
"That kid is a mother, and his appearance is quite high," Sekine commented on Mrs. Uesugi without knowing whether he was alive or dead, "He is worthy of being the best among married women-"
Utsumi, the head of the inspection, held back his anger, and his fingernails were about to pinch the flesh on his legs: "Sekine, do you only have small tadpoles in your head?" β
Guan Gen cried out with cracked teeth: "Minister, that's my leg - please don't pinch it, it was already swollen by you just now." β
"Back to the show!"
Utsumi yelled at the policeman who was driving. He didn't want to pay attention to Sekine at all now. This incompetent subordinate is stupid and lustful, and he is disgraced along the way. He secretly decided that when he returned to Edo, he must make a report, and he had to let this guy go to the countryside to guard the dam.
Time flies, and soon night falls.
After making a big circle on the outskirts of Horoza City, Xu Changqing turned back to the vicinity of the exhibition hall. In order to facilitate surveillance, Xia Cheng opened a suite in an adjacent hotel. The angle here is good. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the venue opposite.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the day, tonight is very quiet. The exhibition has ended, and the venue is quiet, with only a few spotlights still on. Security personnel patrol the perimeter on a regular basis. Everything works fine.
Xu Changqing sat at his desk, debugging a mobile phone. It looks like a regular smartphone, but it's very fast. He opened many video windows and switched them quickly. The screen has been smooth and shows no signs of stuck.
"All the cameras in the exhibition hall have been confirmed." He sent a message to Uesugi with a satisfied expression.
Uesugi replied with a smug expression: "I told you a long time ago that the security systems of these hotels are too old to withstand cracking. β
"However, you still can't help the security measures on those jewelry display cases."
Uesugi immediately argued: "That's the most cutting-edge rice technology, it's very difficult to do!" β
Even across the Internet, Uesugi's anger can be felt clearly. And then all the technical terms that came back were mystical, all kinds of esoteric. I don't understand what "dynamic code change technology" is, what "cloud information security" and so on. Xia Cheng came over to take a look and grinned, and the room was filled with happy air.
Xu Changqing smiled and replied with a message, reassuring the crazy Uesugi on the Internet: "Don't worry, the security measures of the jewelry showcase will be left to Xintian to deal with, we just need to watch the show." β
In good conscience, the security plan sold to Shinda was not nonsense. He carefully observed the layout of the hotel, analyzed their arrangement measures, and then combined with the experience of his previous life, he wrote such a document. Although most of it was speculation, he dared to say that as long as Nobuta carefully studied the plan, he would at least be able to walk smoothly in front of the "Ice Blue Grudge".
The display case is a high-hardness glass that can't be pierced by bullets, and it definitely comes with a pressure alarm or something. In his plan, he listed some violent means of breaking the box, and as for what would happen after that, it was up to fate.
After a while, everything was quiet as usual. The hour hand was already pointing to two o'clock in the morning, and sleepiness unconsciously crept up the corners of his mouth and turned into a yawn.
"Sleep," Xia Cheng stood up first, "I'll take a shower first." β
Xu Changqing nodded, his eyes still on the mobile phone in his hand. The screen switches back and forth between the various camera surveillances, and there is no problem with it.
It had only been three days since Shinda got the security plan, and he thought that three days was still a bit rushed after all. She is a cautious and cunning woman, and she will wait until she is fully prepared.
Waiting is not an option, and rest is also important. He gently rested his phone on his desk and stood up.
