Chapter 598: Le Cheng's Harvest (Medium)
Le Cheng listened to their words, and finally couldn't help but poke his head out secretly, and looked out through the gap in the curtain, and he found Pershing walking towards the table. Washington III stopped: "Marshal, don't touch that password disk, recently in order to prevent theft, I pressed the bomb on the safe, and now all the confidential documents have been transferred to the secret room." ”
After saying that, he walked to the bookcase, stretched out his hand and tinkered with a porcelain vase, and half of the bookcase suddenly moved, and with a loud sound, the bookcase shrank into the wall, and a hole was exposed, and then Washington III walked in with two guards and Marshal Pershing, and the hole closed automatically, and the bookcase returned to its place, as if it had not been moved.
Le Cheng, who was hiding in the curtain box, secretly wiped a cold sweat, it was too dangerous, if these people were one step late, they would go to dial the password disk. If he had really flipped the password disk, he would have become a corpse by now. The espionage work is really dangerous step by step, and in the future, you must not work according to experience, this is life-threatening, Le Cheng secretly admonished himself, while shrinking his body inside, patiently waiting for Washington III and them to come out.
Two hours later, Washington III and Marshal Pershing walked out laughing and talking, and then they talked and walked out of the study, and the guard closed the door. Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther, Le Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After waiting patiently for another half an hour, after making sure that no one would come again, Le Cheng put his waist hard, and a somersault gently fell to the ground. Seeing that there was no situation, he took out the Browning self-defense pistol specially equipped for the spy from his bosom and held it with his right hand, and touched the porcelain vase that Washington III had touched with his left hand, and rotated it to the left and right, and the porcelain vase did not move at all.
Le Cheng scratched his head, when Washington III operated just now, most of his body blocked the porcelain bottle, so although he could be sure that the other party was moving this porcelain bottle, he didn't see how he operated it. Le Cheng lifted or pressed the porcelain bottle up or down again, and there was no movement, and he circled the porcelain bottle twice, Le Cheng suddenly had an idea, and he reached into the bottle and found that there was a metal rod inside. Le Cheng grabbed the metal rod and pressed it hard, and with the sound of the hinges dragging the slideway, the hole was revealed again.
Le Cheng didn't know if there was anyone under the road, he looked inside, there was no light in the depths of the cave, and the black hole was completely invisible. The situation was unclear, and he couldn't help but enter, so Le Cheng could only bite the bullet and carefully walk sideways into the hole, while holding his Browning pistol tightly in his hand, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The bookshelves returned to their places, and without the light of the ever-bright lamp in the imperial study, the only light at the entrance of the cave disappeared. Le Cheng took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down, he groped in the dark, carefully walking down the stairs step by step.
This is a dark room specially built for the emperor, the specifications are absolutely very high, the floor in the cave is dry, without any damp moisture, obviously specially treated. The entire wall is made of hard granite, and Le Cheng has walked so far without feeling depressed at all, obviously there are a lot of ventilation holes reasonably deployed around.
Le Cheng wore soft-soled cloth shoes, which would not make the slightest noise when walking on the stone steps, and after he walked for nearly three hundred meters, the space in front of him suddenly became larger. Le Cheng did not immediately move forward, but stuck to the wall, cautiously poked his head out, with his eyes that had adapted to the darkness, he could already faintly see the vague general situation in the darkness. Glancing left and right, Le Cheng found that there was no one here at all.
Seeing that there was no one in the cave, Le Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the passage directly. It is a large room, with an area of more than 50 square meters, and the room is quite well equipped. There was a bed in the corner, a cupboard for food and water, the food and water were very fresh, apparently someone changed it often.
There was a table and a few stools in the middle of the house, and on the other side of the wall there was a row of boxes, and on top of the boxes hung several Garand semi-automatic rifles of the Boston Army standard. This was obviously the Emperor's secret room, which could not only store important items, but also serve as a hiding place for the Emperor in times of crisis.
After turning around, Le Cheng didn't find a switch with a light, so in order not to expose the target, he no longer continued to search, but continued to search for things that were useful to him. Seeing that there was nothing to look out of sight around, Lecheng focused his gaze on the row of boxes placed against the wall, which was obviously the most likely place to hide things.
Le Cheng put the pistol back on his waist and reached out to open the first box, which was lined up with neat gold bricks, these glittering wealth Le Cheng was not interested, he continued to look at the next box. Each box here is filled with a variety of priceless gold bricks, gems and works of art, which are obviously not Washington III's favorites, or the belongings he is preparing to use in case of emergency, until the last box is opened, and Lecheng discovers the safe inside.
Just as Le Cheng was about to open the safe, the door of the dark room made another noise. Le Cheng secretly scolded for his bad luck, he looked left and right, and found that there was very little furniture in the house, and there was no place to hide people. In desperation, Le Cheng's left foot touched the ground, and his body suddenly leaned forward, only to see his waist twisted, and the whole person had slid silently under the bed.
The visitor seemed to be wary too, and he walked down the stairs lightly, and looked around from time to time, but it seemed that the man could not see at night, because he still had a small flashlight in his hand.
The visitor had already entered the secret room and began to look around like Lecheng. Finding out what the other party was looking for, it was obviously someone who had the same goal as himself, Le Cheng poked his head out curiously, and secretly observed the other party by the light of the flashlight, he found that the person who came was also wearing tights and covered his face with black gauze, but judging from the slender figure, it should be a woman. Le Cheng smiled slightly, took out the spare headgear in his arms and put it on, and then rolled out from under the bed silently the moment the woman turned around.
"Miss, are you looking for something?" A crisp male voice came from behind the woman, startling her as she searched the secret room. The woman reflexively turned around quickly and flung out a throwing knife at the sound of a voice.
"Oh, good fellow, this gift is a bit heavy." Le Cheng laughed and caught the flying knife. When the woman was about to throw another throwing knife, a pistol was already on her head.
"Miss, calm down. I'm not a guard, I think our purpose is the same. Seeing the gun in the other party's hand, the woman gave up resistance, the other party had a gun in his hand, and he was a master who could catch the knife empty-handed, and she had no chance.
"Now, lovely young lady, can you show me what you really look like." Le Cheng said with a gun in one hand and a smile.
"Can I say no?" The woman, apparently having given up, shook her head and untied the black veil that covered her face.
"Ina?" Le Cheng exclaimed, "Aren't you a Yaman spy?" How did you come here. ”
Hearing Le Cheng's exclamation, Ina was obviously stunned, she was a resident correspondent of the Saar Empire in Boston, and she often mingled in high society, so it was not difficult to know her, but it was strange to know that she was a Yaman spy, because she had always appeared as an Isaar.
Seeing Ina's surprise, Le Cheng slowly took off his hood. "Lecheng? Didn't think you're a spy too? How do you know who I am? Seeing Le Cheng's true face, Ina exclaimed.
She is very familiar with this young Chinese who often entertains journalists from all over the world on behalf of Prime Minister Widman. The personal relationship between the two is not bad, and even in Ina's heart, she has a very good impression of this handsome Chinese young man, but she never thought that the other party was also a spy.
Le Cheng smiled: "I'm surprised that I know your identity?" In fact, it is very simple, your Yaman Empire government has gone into exile in our country. As a sign of sincerity, your Imperial Intelligence Agency shared spy information with our intelligence agency, so I learned about you and the more than 100 of your companions lurking in the Boston Empire. ”
Ina sighed and said, "These officials, for the sake of their own future and wealth, betrayed us intelligence officers casually. ”
Le Cheng smiled: "This can't be helped, as the sincerity of your government, you must hand over all the intelligence agents lurking in the Chinese Empire, you are just incidental." ”
Ina said: "Then the order to investigate the offensive intentions of the Axis powers was also issued by the Chinese Imperial Intelligence Bureau?" ”
Le Cheng spread his hands and said: "I don't know about this, give instructions to your system, and you won't let people in other systems know about it, this is our rule." Even in my identity, I only know about the more than 30 Chinese spies lurking in the Boston Empire, and I don't know how many people there are in other systems, this is because of my high level, otherwise I only know about my own upline and downline, which is called single-line contact. ”
Ina said: "Your spy network is indeed advanced enough, so as to minimize the possibility of leaking secrets, and minimize every loss, but I am very strange, you did not receive an order for what would come here." ”
Le Cheng coughed a little embarrassed and said: "I am a special existence, usually my activities are very free, this time I just came to itch my hands, after all, I have been a habitual thief since I was a child." ”
Listening to Le Cheng's words, Ina burst out laughing: "Where is someone who uses himself to steal to show off." ”
Le Cheng smiled: "It's shameful to be a habitual thief as an ordinary person, but as a spy, a habitual thief is a hero, isn't it?" ”
