Chapter 251 [The Last Twelve Hours] Ask for Subscription
Afternoon.
Near the sewer behind King's Cross Station, surrounded by four or five garbage removal trucks, bystanders only thought it was a blockage in the sewer, and people from the Municipal Administration came to clean and maintain it.
But in the middle of these cars, there were more than a dozen agents in combat uniforms, quietly waiting for a reply from the person who went down to investigate.
Not long after, two agents wearing gas masks emerged from the sewers, and they had been in the sewers for a long time, and their bodies emitted a disgusting stench.
Seeing someone coming up, Mrs. M immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it!" ”
The leader shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mrs. M, we searched down for a long time, but we didn't find any sign of anyone. ”
"No?" Mrs. M frowned, glanced back at Johnny, who was still triumphant, hesitated for a few seconds, turned to look at the agent behind her, and asked, "Is the handwriting on the note recognizable?" Not Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
The agent who was questioned nodded: "Mrs. M, the handwriting on this note is indeed the princess's." ”
Is it the princess's handwriting?!
Mrs. M pondered for a moment, then reached out to Johnny and asked, "Johnny, are you sure you found the note here?" ”
"No, it wasn't me who picked it up, it was a stray dog." Johnny glanced around, but didn't notice the stray dog before, and explained, "I saw this note stuck to the dog's foot in the square, and bribed it with a sausage, and it brought me here." ”
"A dog?"
Mrs. M was surprised, seeing that Johnny was not joking, she was speechless, you said it was a dog, why waste manpower to search here, who knows if the stray dog accidentally stuck this note somewhere else.
But it's good that now that the handwriting on the note is written by the princess, the next step is to have a large search of London's sewers where you can hide.
Mrs. M turned around and said, "Rum, you inform the people in the bureau and ask them to contact the police station and the city council, and ask them to search for the princess and the president in the sewers as much as possible in the name of cleaning the sewers." ”
Agent Rum nodded, "Okay, Mrs. M." ”
After the others left, Johnny stepped forward a little excitedly and said, "Mrs. M, do you think my mission is complete?" ”
"Well, good job Johnny, when you find the princess and the president, the bureau will reward you."
Mrs. M glanced at Johnny, who was dressed appropriately, and couldn't help but sigh that his luck was really good, and he could find clues about the princess if he came across a note carried by a stray dog, although it was not clear whether the princess was being held in the sewers, but it was also a reminder to the MI6 people.
Since it has not been found out where the princess and the president were kidnapped by the terrorists, it is very likely that they were hiding somewhere in London, perhaps in a basement, or in some abandoned factory, and they were not taken out of London and out of England, as previously thought.
……
Time flies.
After an afternoon and a night of investigation by MI6, the National Security Agency, the London Police Service, the Municipal Administration and other departments, all the sewers in London that may have hidden people have been investigated, and along with the factories near the suburbs of London, the whereabouts of any princess and the president have not been found.
Intelligence officers analyzed that this note may have been written a few days ago, when the princess had just been kidnapped and was hidden in the sewer by terrorists, just in time to use the passage of the sewer to throw this note.
But two days have passed since the princess was kidnapped, and it is highly likely that the terrorists have already transferred her and the president of the United States.
"Damn it!"
Prime Minister Heslett Bell looked at the report in his hand, threw it on the table in an angry manner, and let the scattered papers float to the ground, he took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. M of MI6, "Why didn't you think that the princess was taken to the sewers to hide?" Now you come and tell me that the terrorists have transferred the princess and the president of the United States. ”
Mrs. M said: "I'm sorry Mr. Prime Minister, we have thought that the President and the Princess are still somewhere in London, but the information provided by Director Fergus says that the Princess and the President have been taken to Northern Ireland, and our ally CIA has also confirmed the news, so we have delayed the time." ”
"I don't want to hear explanations!"
The Prime Minister stopped Mrs. M's words and turned to look at the head of the Security Service, Fergus: "Sixty hours have passed now, and it is only twelve hours before the time given by the terrorists, and the NSA spends a lot of budget every year, but it has no effect at all at a critical time. If you can't rescue the princess and the president within twelve hours, you, the head of the Security Bureau, will be to blame. ”
"Mr. Prime Minister, don't worry, I will definitely find the princess within twelve hours!" Director Fergus said stiffly.
"Reassured? How can you reassure me? The Prime Minister listened to his obviously perfunctory words, and roared again in annoyance: "Do you know what Her Majesty called me to say yesterday? I don't care so much, if you don't find the princess and the president by this afternoon, you know the consequences! ”
In the face of the Prime Minister's crazy ranting accusations, Director Fergus did not speak, but his face was pale, and it was obvious that the pressure in his heart was also very great.
You know, don't look at the fact that the UK is a constitutional monarchy now, but in fact, the queen's power is still very large.
It can be seen from the fact that every prime minister has to swear allegiance to the queen to be canonized, and most of the proposals in parliament have to be signed by the queen herself, it can be seen that the queen's power is not just a symbol of Britain as those second-rate self-media say.
Of course.
The queen has power, but she will not use it, because once it is used, it will exacerbate the people's resistance to the royal family, so unless it is in major decisions or even the life and death of the royal family, the queen will exercise her power, such as directly removing the prime minister.
The kidnapped Princess Anne is the queen's favorite granddaughter, but the queen will not use her power to remove the prime minister because her granddaughter was kidnapped, because this will exacerbate the decline of the royal family.
But if you don't do it on the surface, it doesn't mean that you won't do it in private.
After all, there are too many politicians who want to be prime minister, and the queen only needs to push the people to think that this prime minister cannot lead LinkedIn to economic and cultural prosperity, then the people will resist, and it may be difficult for Heshlet Bell to spend his term well.
