Chapter 1: The Phantom of Louvre
When we were stealing the treasure, as if I heard a snickering sound, I was stunned, Bei Xue looked casual, concentrated on taking out the special sling wrapped around my waist, saw me looking around blindly, urged: "Hurry up and cut off the third alarm system, we don't have much time."
I didn't have time to think about it, so I started to cut through the carpet in the lower left corner of the glass case with the small multi-purpose military knife I carried with me, and I wondered, "I think I heard someone laughing just now." ”
Beixue interrupted my doubts and said, "What kind of place is this, do you think you can come in if you want to?" Okay? ”
The third layer of security alarm system is very important, because it has the effect of automatically sounding the alarm if the glass cabinet is touched or damaged, but other alarm systems are related to each other, so this third layer of protection is not so confidential to other systems, which is the breakthrough of this theft operation.
I lifted the alarm mechanism hidden underground, twisted the screws, and gently used the multi-function knife to cut off the connection between the alarm system and the glass cabinet, and made a proper gesture.
Beixue nodded, first threw the rope high, let one end of the rope wrap around the lamppost of the chandelier, and then I grabbed the other, Beixue turned her body upside down and let her body wrap around the rope, and used the laser diamond cutting knife she brought to destroy the glass cabinet.
According to the instructions given by Lake, the Louvre's alarm system is divided into five, the first is the surveillance system, the second is the steel door safety system, the third is the protective cabinet destruction system that exists at any time, the fourth is the same as the third gravity system for a single cabinet protective cover, and the fifth is the built-in infrared system, of which the built-in infrared system will be turned on 2 hours after closing, and the time we can use is between 9:30 and 11:00 p.m.
The fourth gravity system has a pressure value, once it reaches a weight of more than 100 grams, it will call the police, otherwise just touch it and call the police, then the French police will be busy.
I saw Beixue hanging upside down, holding a cutting pen in her right hand and a climbing suction cup in her left hand, this cutting pen is made by combining stone and wood, including my multi-purpose saber is made of carbon fiber, so it does not contain metal components, and it can not be detected when walking through the security gate.
Xue first fixed the suction cup on top of the gold mask, and then destroyed it with a compass cut, when the cutter touched the glass surface, everything was fine, I pulled the rope to prevent Snow from falling on the glass case, the only thing I was worried about now was that the chandelier could not hold the weight of Beixue.
Beixue was also working hard, not only to control her balance, but also to cut a small round hole in the glass cabinet, and fine sweat oozed from her forehead.
Vaughn said, "It's been more than 7 minutes since the screen was replaced, you guys need to hurry." ”
Beixue was engrossed in her movements, only to see Beixue's left hand gently move away, revealing a fist-sized hole above the glass case, the place we stole is not the focus of protection in the Louvre, so the security system is not as comprehensive as the items of the world's famous books.
After Beixue handed me the contents of her hand, she reached into the cabinet and uncovered the gold mask, sure enough, the protection in the cabinet was not as tight as imagined, the mummy's mouth was closed, Beixue pulled the mummy's chin with her hand, and a dark red gem was revealed inside, hidden in it and the mummy's mouth was integrated, and it was difficult to find its existence without looking closely.
Beixue hesitated, gritted her teeth, endured the creepy, extremely uncomfortable feeling, reached into the mummy's mouth, and carefully took the red diamond out.
Beixue and I took a closer look at the diamond and found that this red diamond did not have any refractive points of light, not only dull but also not as good as an imitation diamond, about two centimeters in diameter, which is a relatively large gemstone type in jewelry, is this red diamond part of the Commander's Ring?
Beixue showed a puzzled expression, although Beixue had never seen the real thing, but after all, she had seen the photo of the ring of the "Star of Yellow Springs", and she would never forget the dazzling appearance.
Besher put away the gem and said to me, "I believe this is what we're looking for, it's time for us to get out." ”
Inform Vaughn to change the replacement screen, return the same way, no danger, we return to the painting gallery from the raised iron gate, and now we are facing the problem of how to get out, such as returning to the dark grid as originally planned and continuing to hide until the opening of the museum tomorrow, which is obviously unrealistic, I am looking at Beixue and seeing the other party's embarrassment and embarrassment at the same time, we avoid looking at each other at the same time.
I was about to look forward, but I saw something that surprised me.
I saw a black shadow hanging in the air with a long knife to cut the frame of the painting and steal the painting, this person is also bold, today it happened that our pair of amateur thieves met a lone thief.
Beixue also spotted this scene in my gaze, and was greatly surprised, exchanged a look with me, and at the same time thought of a question in her heart, what kind of person is this, who can come and go freely in the Louvre?
When the iron door slowly lowered, the man turned his head to look at us, and there was a familiar snicker, it seems that the man succeeded in stealing, when he rolled up the painting, fell from the air, we found that he used the suction cup rope, sucked the roof, one hand pulled the rope, and how the small suction cup can bear a person's weight, and the ability to accurately cut the edge of the painting with a knife in one hand is also extraordinary, is a professional thief.
When he put the scroll into the specially prepared painting tube, he had already walked in front of us, so that Beixue and I could see clearly, this person's head and face were wrapped in V-shaped black glasses and face towels, and the whole body was covered in a black tight-fitting night suit, from the graceful body curves, it turned out to be a woman, the underwear just revealed her exquisite curves, half a head shorter than Beixue, the human body is very well proportioned, and it can be seen that she usually has a lot of exercise, because she gives people the feeling of agility and elasticity.
She first got straight to the point and said in English: "Hello two, I didn't expect to meet two of you today who are also carrying out activities, just now I saw you stealing mummies, I really surprised a lot, I didn't expect that the dried corpse has become so valuable now, since we each have our own gains, we shouldn't interfere with each other, go our separate ways, right?" ”
If we had gone according to the original plan, Bess and I would have been hidden in the dark again, and now that she was here, we certainly couldn't go back there and stay until the museum opened. What's more, facing that kind of situation again will inevitably happen again, and Beixue and I both thought of a way for her to get out since she can get in.
Beixue said: "Originally, it was a matter of non-interference, but since everyone has exposed their bottoms, how to escape should help each other......"
Beixue didn't say any more, wanting to see the other party's reaction, the woman smiled lightly and said confidently: "It's very easy for me to go out, but since the two of you are in a little trouble going out, I can help a little." ”
We listened to her tone with great confidence, but we didn't know what kind of method she would use.
I saw that she first removed the rope from the roof, and then pressed a suction cup on the rope, and with her right hand, the suction cup flew to the position of the window near the wall, after the suction cup was fixed, she pressed a button on her waist, and there was a roller on the belt that contracted the rope, and in a few seconds, she was already standing on the window sill, and her dexterity was amazing.
Beixue and I looked at each other, the window had been sealed by the electronic lock of the iron gate, how could we get out?
I saw that the woman pulled out the sharp blade on her back, and actually inserted a knife into the window and door panel, and at the same time slid her arm, only to hear the iron plate make a "click, click" sound, and immediately cut out a gap for one person to enter and exit, at the same time, the entire Louvre siren sounded, naturally because she destroyed the window panel with the safety system, so the automatic alarm system was activated.
According to past experience and the information prepared before the theft, the French police will dispatch 80% of the police force, and all of them will arrive at the scene within 5 minutes, and the front and back of the Louvre will be blocked, which shows the degree of protection of the French police station for the important national treasure.
By this time, the stolen artist had already broken out of the window and fled.
I looked at the rope left behind by the other party and turned to look at Beixue.
Beixue was thinking about the sharpness of the woman's blade, and when she saw me looking at it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go up too, the guards will be coming soon." ”
Beixue took a few steps back, ran a run, grabbed the rope, followed the force of the upward rush, with the help of the rope, and jumped onto the windowsill in a few steps, and the degree of flexibility of the body can be seen.
I looked at the rope and hesitated, and suddenly Vaughn's voice came from the communicator: "Oh no, the guards have come to the Egyptian quarter and are opening the first gate!" ”
I followed Beixue's example, ran first, grabbed the rope, and ran upward, just when I was about to reach the windowsill, suddenly the suction cup above the rope fell off, and I felt cold in my heart, and I was about to fall down.
At the moment when I landed down, I found that the rope was tight, and it turned out that Beixue was quick with her hands, grabbed the rope with one hand, and hooked the window panel with the other, giving me a support point and letting me go up with the trend.
By the time I stepped on the window, the floodgates of the hallway were slowly opening.
Once Bess helped me stabilize my figure, she drilled out.
When Beixue's head just got outside, before she could drill half of her body, a long blade was placed on her Xue Nen's neck.
I only heard the woman who got out before us, and said coldly to Beixue: "Hurry up and hand over what you stole just now, otherwise you ......"
The closed gate had opened to expose the calves of the guards outside.
In the entire Louvre area, the sound of sirens, human voices, and running sounds has completely surrounded the exit.
Not only are we caught in a dilemma, but we are also threatened by an unknown thief, how can Besel solve the crisis?
