Chapter 83: The Puzzle (48)
Kutcher nodded and said, "Although Locke is not very well-informed here, but after such a long time, I think they should have left there." ”
"yes. They're not stupid. Still, the phone call has to be made. The old guy looked at Paul, who had already come over with the phone, "Mr. Kutcher, let's call Mr. Locke first." I'd love to hear what this guy has to say. ”
Paul handed the phone to Kutcher, who took the phone and dialed a quick number, then placed the phone between himself and the old guy, which meant that the old guy could hear the voice on the other side of the phone clearly. But the phone rang from beginning to end, but no one answered on the other side. After the automatic disconnection, Kutcher dialed again, this time again, and no one answered until the automatic hang-up.
"Alright." The old guy motioned to Kutcher not to try again, "I won't answer the phone over there, this number is still in use, but I won't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, including Mr. Kutcher's number, even if I call from your number now, I'm sure the other party won't answer it." So let's try another person's. Call the number your boss gave you. ”
Kutcher nodded, re-entered a number and dialed the phone, this time differently, the phone rang three times and then connected. But there was no talk, as if he was listening quietly.
Kutcher didn't move, but looked at the old guy, and the old guy motioned for Kutcher to speak, and Kutcher nodded and said, "I'm Kutcher, I... ”
"Kutcher? Hehe. A man's voice rang out, and after saying a few words, the phone hung up.
Kutcher looked up at the old guy, who didn't speak. And when Kutcher dialed the number again, the number was no longer available.
"Good!" The old guy patted Kutcher on the shoulder, "Mr. Kutcher, although this contact was not successful, it at least proves that what you said is true, and there really is another team. ”
"Huh." Kutcher smiled wryly, "Do I need to talk nonsense?" Maybe I'm on this team's blacklist now. ”
"Haha." The old guy smiled, "Then you should be happy, because it undoubtedly shows that you are worthy." And if you have value, the better you will be in the future. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, he put away his smile and stood up, walked to the wall with his head down, and after about five or six minutes of silence, he looked at Kutcher and said, "Mr. Kutcher, you said that if I reveal your whereabouts in some way, do you think the team arranged by your boss will change their goal and kill you?" ”
"Possibly. And maybe someone from the Russian side. Hehe. "He's going to be in a hurry to kill me." I've done or know a lot of things they don't want you to know. ”
"yes... Those two former colleagues and comrades-in-arms will definitely join forces to make you disappear forever. The old man nodded as he spoke, and looked at Kutcher and Luxa, "Let's rest." Paul uncuffed Luxa and prepared something for them to eat and drink. Now we're working together. ”
Paul nodded, came to Luxa's side and opened the handcuffs, "Don't move, be honest." ”
The old guy looked at Ivan and me, "Let's talk to Ogier and Pryalko, and you can come over later, Paul." ”
The three of us didn't go straight to the room where Ogil was holding them when we walked out of the room, but followed the old guy straight to the staircase that led to the basement.
The old fellow looked inside the room and said, "Kutcher is an extremely valuable man. It sounds like nonsense, but I have to say it anyway. Because he was more valuable than I thought he was, the lurking team made me realize how important Kutcher was. When I talk about what happened to Kutcher, I suddenly thought that I suspected that even if Kutcher hadn't been caught, he would probably still be on the blacklist. ”
"What... What do you mean? I asked in surprise.
Ivan clearly understood his hometown
He looked at me and said, "It means that one of the tasks of this team is to get rid of Kutcher." ”
"And it is estimated that the same is to let the people of NATO carry the black pot." The old guy said and shook his head, "Kutcher knows too much. While perhaps I was overthinking it, Kutcher didn't think about it either. But when you think about it the other way around, it's quite possible. As the guy behind him, this series of events is a huge threat to him, in fact, he was already under a lot of pressure and risk when he participated in and plotted against us, and then when things succeeded, Kutcher became a most obvious potential threat, a threat that would nullify all his previous efforts. But what if it fails? Not to mention, he is the most direct evidence, and it should be cleaned up. ”
"This... It's so complicated ... "I looked at Ivan and then at the old fellow.
That's when Paul came over and he saw my expression, "Did I miss something?" ”
The old guy shook his head, "No. But my dear students don't fully understand the dangers of the world. ”
Paul looked at me and said, "What don't you know?" ”
I looked at the old guy and said, "What are you trying to do with this?" It's not going to be Kutcher to lure those people out, right? ”
"Exactly!" "I'm thinking about this plan right now." ”
"Then what if the other party is not as sinister as you think? The reality is not so complicated at all, they didn't think about taking out Kutcher at all, what about their mission to deal with the people in NATO? In my opinion, this is more likely. ”
"Of course. This is certainly a possibility. But let me tell you, as far as I know about these people, or the people in this industry, they are not as simple and kind as you. Taking a step back, even if they weren't what I thought, couldn't I just push them? The old guy said.
"Persecution? How persecution? Paul asked.
The old guy thought for a moment, "I'm ready to contact someone on the Russian side." Hehe. I'd like to get in touch and tell them about it. Especially the details of the Kutcher story, and I'm going to add something to it to make those people even more scared. And then I want to get Kutcher over there. ”
"You're planning to leak this news on purpose, and then ... And then let the people here rob and kill halfway? Ivan asked.
"Yes. That's pretty much it. That's what I intended, they probably wouldn't sit idly by and watch Kutcher be sent to Russia and then interrogated. As long as they get there, they can't do it again, even if they have the chance. Because that would undoubtedly prove it for us and increase their own suspicion at the same time. So they will definitely do it before halfway, and most likely before entering Russia! "My hometown said.
