Chapter 19: For Whom the Bell Tolls

The alarm clock's gaze swept over the podium for the third time, and the man who was giving the speech was the target of the operation, with gray sideburns and, like many people who are about to enter old age at the age of 55, have begun to lose their heads. Probably because he has a good life, he is a little blessed, and his face does not look old, but seems to be only in his forties.

"A reporter once asked me, 'Mr. Kate, you're so rich, have you ever thought about sharing your wealth with people who are still struggling in poverty?'

I told him, 'Of course, who do you think the shareholders of your TV station are?' ’”

The philanthropist, Kate, spoke while mimicking the reporter's movements and looks. The entire stadium crowd burst into laughter.

This is the fifth time, Kate's movements as she speaks, revealing a shallow scar on her wrist that was originally in her sleeve, and the marks left by the bullet during the eighth assassination attempt, which are recorded in the organization's archives.

The alarm clock sat right in the audience, applauding just like everyone around them! He didn't deliberately hide himself, even though he knew that there were at least 5 sniper rifles watching the audience at the scene, except for the mask on his face and the wallet and mobile phone in his clothes, he didn't bring anything with him.

She was late, the alarm clock had come to Mister Stadium two days earlier, and Kate's security forces had taken over the entire stadium and surrounding hotels three days earlier. In addition to the security checks at the various exits, the guarding of key building nodes, and the bloodhounds carpet search for possible bombs.

Unable to lurk in front of the stadium, the alarm clock can only stay in the same hotel as the target, entering the stadium as a regular spectator.

But the alarm clock was still last night, taking advantage of the time when the guard went to the toilet, and sent his own gun in!

And the only choice she has at present is to kill or not to kill!

She was sure that if she did it now, even if she couldn't kill her with one blow! The person who is giving a speech can't be saved!

But I don't know why, there is still a strange feeling in the heart of the alarm clock!

"I ask you a question, what is the best charity in the world? Is it money? ”

"No, no, no! I still remember my father's teachings! Money is not everything! Money doesn't completely change the situation of those children! What can really change them is work, knowledge, and opportunity! ”

"So, remove my donation in my personal name! Kate Group! A road will be built in the area that leads directly to Kangat! Two factories, one for clean food and one for clean energy! There are also 6 elementary schools! 4 Middle Schools! So, is there anyone there who wants to apply for a job as a teacher at the school? After the job fair, I can leave a business card at my secretary! ”

Kate stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation to the audience.

Another burst of screams and applause!

The alarm clock didn't care what he said, or what was behind the fundraiser, or where the money would go.

What she saw was that Kate on the stage had once again revealed the scar on her wrist just now!

If once or twice was accidental, then in just a few minutes, six times in a row to reveal the scar left by the assassination was too deliberate!

Why? Why did he show that scar again and again?

People who mingle in politics and shopping malls are born actors!

Thinking of this, the alarm clock couldn't help but shrink its pupils!

The guy on stage is a fantastic actor! His frequent scars are for those who know where they come from! To prove that he is "he" himself!

There is a difference between the stage and reality, and the better the actor, the more aware this should be. The protagonist on the stage, apparently, has forgotten that in reality he is just a trick! So he tried his best to substitute for the role he played, and tried his best to show the details emphasized by the "director", and it is precisely because of this that this scene is more and more like a drama!

"Sorry, can you give me a moment? I want to go to the bathroom. ”

The alarm clock got up and left his seat.

She had to leave, because even with the mask on, the left side of her face still couldn't make a look of shock and panic, and under the surveillance, it would soon be exposed, and then locked!

"R-0 calls A-7, R-0 calls A-7, traces of hook scratches were found on the roof of the northwest of the stadium, repeat, scratches were found on the roof of the northwest of the stadium!"

"Not yesterday?"

A-7, who heard the call, asked.

“…… Nope"

"Who patrolled that area last night?"

"Report, it's R-13, he went to the toilet halfway through...... Three minutes to the minute"

"Dispose of it, don't keep it, sooner or later such a person will kill us all." A-7 said casually, and then his tone became serious, "Three things, first, re-investigate the area, second, investigate and monitor, the focus is on the time when R-13 went to the toilet, six o'clock this morning, and the time period for the stadium to enter, and third, three minutes later, forcibly interrupt the fundraiser and take the employer away!" ”

After explaining this, A-7 took his eyes off the scope and asked B-9 next to him, "Can you treat people inside that roof?" ”

"No, at least I can't."

……

R-0 hung up the communication and gave orders to his teammates, "R-1 to R-11, quietly crawl over the tracks, R-14 to R-22 to mobilize surveillance." R-13, you made a mistake this time, reflect on it, A-7 said, the punishment depends on your next performance, R-12, you act with R-13, three minutes later, create a fake attack! Contact the people in the audience and forcibly interrupt the fundraising! ”

R-0 quietly gives R-12 a look.

"Act now!"

"Yes!"

R-12 and R-13 came to a less crowded position, and suddenly, R-12 pulled out his gun and pointed it at R-13, and the muzzle of the muzzle was muffled against the back of R-13's head.

R-13 slowly raised his hands, "R-12, what are you going to do?" ”

How could R-13 not know what was going on, and in his heart he had already scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestor of the person who sneaked in last night! Why do you have to sneak in at that time? Can you sweep the traces clean when you sneak in? Which idiot taught it?

"You don't really think A-7 will let you go like that, do you?"

"Brother, don't be like this, I just went to the toilet, didn't nothing happen now?"

However, as soon as the words fell, a loud bang was heard over the stadium!

Bang!!

Under everyone's gaze, the eloquent figure on the podium clutched his neck in pain and fell heavily to the ground!

After a brief silence, screams came and went!

"R-12, stop the fleeing crowd immediately! Contact the P-0 unit outside! Check them one by one before they are allowed to go! ”

Despite the issuance of such an order, in reality, it was impossible to stop those spectators with a few dozen people.

R-13 picks up R-12's communication headset from a pool of blood, "R-12 receives. But there was no light-hearted look on his face.

If you heard it right, the voice just now is XM2036, this voice is extremely familiar!

On the other side, R-1 sped up his movements when he heard the gunshots!

"R-1 calls R-0, we have arrived at the designated place, we have arrived at the designated place."

R-1's gaze never took off the steel frame of the ceiling, where there was a bulging camouflage cloth, and R-4 was being suspended by a rope, slowly lowering it above the camouflage cloth.

Everyone held their breath, their guns pointed there, and waited for the next move of the R-4!

With a whew, the camouflage cloth was lifted!

A sniper rifle aimed at the podium, and a wooden block against the butt! On the trigger of the sniper rifle, there is a remote control motor of a toy car!

"Damn it!" R-1 cursed and was tricked!

"R-1 informs the whole team, the operation has failed! The sniper rifle is a remotely operated trigger! The killer is most likely among the audience! ”

R-13 breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and with the remotely controlled trigger, as long as the person walked to the position where the muzzle was pointed, the assassination could be completed! Then as long as you blend in with the crowd afterwards, there is a good chance of escaping!

He looked at the podium, and Kate's body was lying on the podium like that, and everyone was afraid of the next bullet falling on him, not even a doctor or bodyguard.

Wait a minute! No medical care! No bodyguards!

No, after the assassination, the bodyguards should rush up and surround the employer as soon as possible, and use their bodies to form a human wall to prevent the killer from replenishing the gun! Determine the employer's injury, confirm whether there is vitality, and arrange treatment in time!

However, from beginning to end, no one touched the corpse, and the only plausible explanation was.

The dead one is nothing more than a stand-in!

In the communication headset, messages came one by one.

"The exit to the west has been intercepted, and no suspicious person has been found for the time being."

"The northbound exit has been intercepted, and no suspicious person has been found yet."

……

"Did you find anything in the monitoring room?"

A-7's voice, as the commander-in-chief of this security force, was the first time that a stand-in had died, but his tone remained calm.

"Found it!"

Two seconds later, a voice rang out in the communication channel.

"The target had left the stadium before the shot. That disguise is obvious! ”

Due to the failed education of a certain forty-something old man, the alarm clock is almost clueless when it comes to playing an adult woman! There is nothing superfluous except for a mobile phone for the remote control motor, a small purse for documents and money!

However, what adult women carry with them is at least a satchel that contains their own lipstick, foundation, eye cream, sunscreen, tissues, parasols, and even flat shoes for driving...... And these, there are no alarm clocks! But the mask of the alarm clock is made with light makeup.

So, among those who leave early, the alarm clock is too conspicuous!

At the same time, the luck of the alarm clock is also very good! In the absence of the scene, that shot happened to kill the stand-in.

"In which direction did she go?"

"She went...... Hotel. ”

"Hotels? Are you sure? ”

"Sure, went straight to the hotel."

A-7 was silent for a while.

"A-7 calls B-1."

After a click of electricity, a male voice enters the communication channel.

"What's the matter?"

"The stand-in is dead, and the killer is on his way to the hotel."

"So, you were tricked and asked me to clean up the aftermath for you?"

B-1's voice didn't sound anxious, even a little gloating.

In the eyes of those tycoons in attendance, Kate is dead, but the owner of Kate's group naturally will not be behind the scenes because of the death of a stand-in. After the matter passes, it will be clarified that the dead are just a stand-in. And the media, some hostile forces, will definitely make a big fuss about Kate's stand-in attendance to raise donations! And these losses must be counted on the commander-in-chief A-7!

At this point, the current plan of the alarm clock has been almost exposed, and the loud noise and visual impact caused by the deliberate lack of installation of silencing sniper rifles can cause a commotion in the stadium to the greatest extent, which is enough to cause congestion in the passage of the entire stadium within a certain period of time! While A-7 is dragged around the stadium, Alarm Clock heads to the hotel on its own to find out the real Kate!

I have to say that this temporary plan was very successful, if the alarm clock had not been exposed by the surveillance video, A-7 would probably still be looking for the killer in the crowd!

"It's imperative to keep employers safe."

"You don't need to worry about this!"

"Bang-"

There was such an incongruous voice coming from the communication channel, not loud, but too creepy!

"What's going on?" A-7 asked angrily.

"It's from me." It was B-1 who spoke, and his voice became gloomy, "The gunshots are close, it seems that the employer's location is exposed!" You're right, employer's safety comes first! Next, I'm going to leave with my employer and cut off communication with you! I won't contact you until the employer has arrived at a safe place! How does the other party know that the employer is in the hotel? How do you find out where your employer is? Find out for yourselves! ”

Then, B-1 cuts off the communication, and his implication is that R Team has a problem and sends a message to the killer! So now he doesn't believe anyone!

R-13 couldn't help but cover his face, his biggest role today is to take the blame, right?

B-9 put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at A-7 with a pale face, "What do we do now?" Let the P-0 pass? “

"No, P-0 don't move, continue to check at the exit, once P-0 moves, the other party realizes that she is going to be surrounded, and will give up the assassination and start running away like last time! Let the Q-0 teams ambushed at various intersections move! Let's go too, change the location, there is a place in the stadium and you can see the hotel! ”

In the basement of the hotel, after the real Kate heard the news, a trace of remembrance appeared on her solemn face. From the moment he took over the family, he knew that someone was going to kill him, for which he prepared 5 stand-ins, these stand-ins are actors who have been polished for many years, Kate used a lot of money to plastic surgery for them, learn his tone of voice, walking posture, learn the knowledge of economics, management, politics and all aspects, and even strictly control his daily diet, in order to keep with his weight! He himself often pretends to be a stand-in, talking to them and learning! This is one of the few pleasures Kate has had in recent years!

"He's like an old friend of mine," Kate turned her head to B-1, "since you think we should leave, what are you waiting for?" After that, I'll leave the defense work to you to command! ”

Kate also heard the gunshot, I am afraid that her position is really exposed, and now the only one she can rely on is B-1.

B-1 smiled with satisfaction, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely send you back safely!" ”

After leaving a few people in the basement, B-1 took Kate and walked out through another door, through a passageway, to the parking lot!

Several tourists ran past B-1 in a panic, and he grabbed one of them, "What are you running?" ”

The man said in horror, "Didn't you hear the gunshots?" It's scary! It felt like it was in your own room! ”

"Gunshots? Wait, what floor do you live on? ”

"7th floor!" The tourist shook his hand away and ran towards his car without looking back!

B-1 felt like his head was buzzing with a hammer, and the 7th floor was ...... How could the gunshots in the basement reach the seventh floor?

He hurriedly turned back to Kate and said, "Sir, run!" While trying to open his own newsletter.

However, before he could say anything, he saw Kate lying in a pool of blood struggling and the muzzle of the black hole......

After firing the remote control motor, the alarm clock dug out his equipment in the trash can and ran towards the hotel where Kate was staying without looking back. Kate won't stay in the stadium, she's sure that if someone uses explosives on a massive scale and collapses, Kate won't be able to escape! So he will definitely be in the hotel!

As for where it is, the alarm clock does not know. But the alarm clock just needs to lure him out!

The alarm clock goes straight to the hotel's radio room, where there are tiny speakers hidden in various corners, disguised in various guises, and music is played to set the mood, and the music is controllable. The alarm clock makes use of these things to make every speaker play the sound of a gunshot!

Coincidentally, there is a stereo in the staircase leading to the basement! After doing this, the alarm clock rushed to the underground parking lot again, waiting for Kate to appear!

……

Bang! Bang!

Successive gunshots, the sound of the death knell!
