63. Dejected
"Vasily, the name exists in the countess's subconscious, indicating that the name is extraordinary, continue to listen." Ling Yunpeng was immediately keenly aware that Vasily must be extraordinary, so he instructed Fu Xinghan to listen carefully and not let go of any detail.
"Natasha, I know the password is your birthday, but Andre said that the password is his birthday, and I don't know which one is right." Smith continued in the set of the Countess's words.
"Then you try 0319 first, and if it doesn't work, try 1128 again."
Smith couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he gently patted the countess on the back: "Natasha, you can sleep quietly." β
Smith stood up, walked over to the famous painting of Monet, inserted the key into the lock hole, and then turned the number 0319 on the combination lock, and sure enough, he heard a click, and the safe opened.
Smith opened the safe and scrutinized everything in the safe, including jewelry, dollars, pounds, two gold bars, a stack of papers, and some pawn tickets.
Smith pulled out the stack of papers and flipped through them one by one, but his brow furrowed, as if he hadn't found what he desperately needed. Smith looked through all the belongings again, shook his head, and put them back into the safe, closed the safe, closed the painting of "Water Lilies", put the key into the brass tube of the bed frame, and tightened the spherical bulge, and came to the Countess again.
"Natasha, Natasha, where's that treasure map?" Smith called softly to the Countess.
"I'm so tired, Vasily, I want to sleep so much, don't ask me." The Countess was very uncomfortable and tried to open her eyes, but she could not do so.
"Natasha, baby, tell me, where's the treasure map?" Smith continued to ask questions without relenting for a moment.
"Anna......" said the countess, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Anna Karenina!" Smith blurted out, he seemed to understand the answer, and hurriedly searched for the book, and finally found it under the sofa bed.
But where is the secret of such a thick book?
"Natasha, my dear, may I tell me what page is it? Natasha, Natasha? β
The Countess rolled over, but there was no response. Smith sighed helplessly, and then Smith picked up the book and looked through it to see where the countess's mark was.
Smith sat on the couch, flipped through the pages one by one, and spent more than an hour, and did not see the reason, he did not give up, stood up, searched for something, and finally found a medicine box in the countess's bedside table, took out a bottle of iodine and cotton swabs from it, and then smeared every page of "Anna Karenina" with a cotton swab dipped in iodine wine, and he suspected that AndrΓ© had written the drawings in the book.
It wasn't until after four o'clock in the morning that Smith finished the whole book, but still found nothing, Smith stood up dejectedly, he put the iodine back in the medicine box, and then put the yellowed "Anna Karenina" that had been stained with iodine into his briefcase, cleaned it up, felt that nothing was missing, glanced at the sleeping countess on the bed, opened the door, and went downstairs, Smith's footsteps woke up the warrior, it suddenly stood up, and called at Smith twice. The barking of the dog woke Ivanov, who muttered two sentences in Russian and fell asleep again.
Smith hurriedly opened the door, walked out, walked to the Cadillac car, opened the door, threw the briefcase inside, and then drove away from Anhesi Road.
"It seems that the treasure map is not in the safe, and the copy of Anna Karenina does not look like there is a treasure map in it, so where will this countess hide the treasure map?" Fu Xinghan shook his head in confusion.
"Idiot, let's rest first, anyway, the countess won't wake up for a while, let's take the opportunity to squint for a while." Ling Yunpeng patted Fu Xinghan on the shoulder.
Fu Xinghan stood up, stretched, and turned his neck: "It's quite tiring, but there is still nothing to gain." β
"Why didn't you get it? Smith checked the safe for us, so we didn't have to rummage through the boxes ourselves, he was standing up for us, and we should be thankful for him. Ling Yunpeng winked at Fu Xinghan and smiled mischievously.
Ling Yunpeng and Fu Xinghan went into the house to rest, Qin Shouyi and Ah Hui hurriedly got up, flushed their heads with cold water, and then sat in front of the window and observed the situation on the other side.
In the morning, when the Countess had not moved her nest and had been lying in bed, Anna had come in twice, and seeing that her master was asleep, she closed the door softly and departed.
Ivanov still went out in the morning to sneak the dog once, and when she returned, Anna went out to buy groceries, and what she bought was no different from yesterday, except for an extra red sausage. After coming back, he was busy doing laundry, shining shoes, cleaning the front yard of the house, and cleaning the kennel, Ivanov smiled and looked at it, occasionally helped, and then held a radio to listen to some Western songs, and then Anna made coffee, and the two of them ate some bread and red sausage for breakfast. Anna went upstairs to see if the countess was awake, and when she saw that her master was not, she quietly took the milk cup down. Then Ivanov seemed to be practicing, because the sound of "hey, hey, ho, ho" came from the courtyard. Anna fed the warriors on the sidelines. Qin Shouyi heard the clicking sound of the dog gnawing on the bones and the happy barking of the dog. Then Anna began to wash, chop, boil, and prepare lunch.
When Anna had prepared her lunch, she went upstairs again, but the countess was still asleep, and Anna closed the door softly and went downstairs, and Anna and Ivanov had a simple lunch. After eating, Ivanov listened to the radio for a while. After playing cards alone for a while, she went to take a nap, while Anna continued to work as a maid in her room.
"No wonder this King Kong is so fat, he eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and he doesn't gain weight?" Ah Hui muttered: "But that maid is very hard, and her hands and feet are busy." β
"Let's have some lunch, my stomach is rumbling."
"I'm going to see if they're awake?" Qin Shouyi pushed open the doors of the two bedrooms, and the two were sleeping soundly.
"Let's wait until they wake up before eating." Qin Shouyi turned to Ah Hui and said, but as soon as he saw Ah Hui's expectant eyes, he smiled: "If you are really hungry, there is still a little scallion oil noodles left yesterday, you can pad your stomach first." β
Ah Hui nodded shyly, and then took out yesterday's leftovers from the cabinet and ate them with relish.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the opposite side, Qin Shouyi hurriedly rushed to the window, and Ah Hui's mouth was stuffed with noodles, and he also rushed over, and the screams also woke up Ling Yunpeng and Fu Xinghan, and the two also rushed out of the bedroom.
"What's the matter, what's going on on the other side?" Ling Yunpeng hurriedly took the telescope from Qin Shouyi's hand.
Fu Xinghan also immediately turned on the monitoring equipment, put on headphones, and waited for him.
