Volume 2 The Dark Knight Chapter 72 Unexpected
In the morning, members of the Gang of Three were held in their cells in the detention center of the Hanning Police Station. A bed, a table, a toilet with a blind, and a natural fluorescent lamp through the bars.
It was a long corridor with cells lined up opposite each other. Usually locked up, there are mostly unconscious drunk drivers or troublesome gangsters, and 'big shots' like the Gang of Three are not common.
There were only members of the Gang of Three in the corridor now, and the empty hallway made even the smallest sounds particularly harsh, and Shaw's snoring was a perfect example, like thunder.
He wasn't worried about his situation at all, and Scott had heard him snoring since he woke up in the morning, and it had continued to this day.
"Shaw!" Scott lay on the bed and shouted impatiently.
Seeing that there was no response, Scott rolled his eyes in anger, puffed up his breath and shouted again: "Xiao !!!!! ”
"Woo !!" Shaw woke up from the sound of snoring, got up and looked around, "What's going on?" ”
Scott's voice came down the hallway, "You're snoring so loudly, the whole hallway is going to be a soundtrack!" ”
"Damn..."Xiao pinched his trigeminal nerve and frowned and asked, "What time is it?" ”
Rand sat in his cell at the other end of the hallway, looked at his cracked watch, and responded, "Ten twenty-three in the morning." ”
Scott sat up from the bed to get out of bed, and as soon as his foot hit the ground, the pain in his knee was heard again.
"Oh!! Damn it.... Whew..."Scott covered his knees with his hands and rolled over on the bed in pain, "That guy is really dark..."
After relieving himself, he asked the other two, "Hey! Resemble! Rand! Can you tell me about how you got caught? ”
"Not interested." Shaw put his hands behind his head and lay back on the bed boredly.
Rand said, "That guy is better than all of us. ”
"The main thing is that his clothes can't be broken with a rifle." Xiao sighed, took over and said, "It's the same as cheating." ”
"He's going to solve us one by one, and next time we bump into us, we'll have to get three of them together." As he spoke, Rand's face was still expressionless.
"Next time?" Scott suddenly understood what Rand meant, shrugged his eyebrows, and looked a lot more relieved, "Alas... I just hope it doesn't hurt my knee again. ”
At that moment, six police officers in charge of escorting walked into the corridor, and the sound of chaotic footsteps broke the original calm.
Xiao squinted at the gang and muttered angrily, "Oh.... Damn, I haven't slept enough..."
On the other side, in the general manager's office on the 98th floor of the Ai On Building, Manager Zheng leaned on the boss's chair, his hands crossed his fingers, and the news of the arrest of the Gang of Three was playing on the computer on the table.
He still had that interested smile on his face, as if everything was as he expected.
'Ring, ring, ring....' The landline on the desk suddenly rang, and Manager Zheng looked at the landline and deliberately left it for a few seconds before slowly raising his hand.
He picked up the phone and said, "I'm still wondering when you're going to call me." ”
Mira's electronic voice came over the microphone saying, "I have a very fair deal. ”
Manager Zheng smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, all the principal of this transaction is from me, so it is not fair." ”
"When you were poor, I was already thinking about selling them on the black market."
Hearing the other party's tone a little unpleasant, he scratched his sideburns and sighed.
"Okay, okay, don't be impulsive, how do you want to trade?"
On the other side of the phone, Mira was walking down the street. She was wearing a white T-shirt, a disposable mask and sunglasses on her face, and her long black hair flowed with her steps.
"Interpol will arrive in two days, and the day after tomorrow when they transfer the Gang of Three, I want you to intercept them halfway."
Manager Zheng turned down the volume of the computer and joked: "This is a society under the rule of law, don't you think it's too much for me to send someone to intercept and escort the car in broad daylight?" ”
Mira sneered, it was really funny to say it from the mouth of someone like him.
"I'll let you know the exact time and place of the interception, in exchange for a module."
Manager Zheng frowned and put the fingers of his right hand on the table to tap.
"Your price is a bit low, why should you exchange two modules for three lives, right?"
"My price is not low, you just have to answer yes or no." On the phone, Mira's tone did not mean to regress at all.
Manager Zheng felt a little helpless, it was the first time he had seen such an arrogant and unreasonable person, and it was exactly the same as the bandits on the mountain in the past.
"Respectful.... Miss Mira, I think that's what they call you, right? ”
He changed his previous uninhibited attitude and used his businessman's official tone again.
"Listen, it's okay if you want money, but your attitude really doesn't feel very steady, you need to.... How so? ”
He leaned back in his chair and thought about the word in his mind for a few seconds, "More sincere." ”
After he finished speaking, there was no sound on the phone for a while, which made him a little uncomfortable.
‘........’
"Miss Mira? Are you still there? He asked, confused.
After a few more seconds, Mira responded, "I know about the narwhal program. ”
Hearing this, his expression instantly became much more serious, and his right hand on the table stopped tapping, and his ring finger and little finger trembled again. It was too much of a surprise to him.
This time, Mira was in charge of the situation, and she could feel the other party's dumbness, so she asked in a mocking tone, "How long will it take you to make a module like that?" A few months? Half? Sorry, I don't have a good memory. ”
"Let me think about it.... Oh! That's right. Mira stood next to a fruit stand, picked up an apple and looked at it in her hand, "For more than two years, I think it's a little too complicated, isn't it?" ”
Manager Zheng on the other side of the phone was obviously a little unable to sit still, and asked hesitantly, "How do you know .....?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Mira's voice came from the microphone again.
"Prepare your manpower, I don't want anything to go wrong."
After saying that, Mira hung up the phone and pulled out the phone card directly with a pick-up needle.
'Toot.. Honk.. Toot...'
Here, Manager Zheng sat on the chair and was stunned for a long time. He put down the phone and turned his chair to look out the window. Through the glass partition, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city.
It was more than 500 meters above the ground, and his view could not be more sufficient, and he could even see the horizon in the distance. The Aion Tower is like a belvedere, watching over every corner of the city.
"Boss, are we going to agree to her terms?" Secretary Wu, who was standing next to her, asked, she had been here since the phone rang.
"Shhhhh
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he recalled the call in his mind. Although the background sound on the phone was not very loud, it still couldn't escape his ears.
[Let me think about it.....]
Everything around him fell silent, even the sound of his own breathing became muffled. He recalled that in the midst of that cacophony, there was the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and the shouting of several people.
[... Wet market....]
The Gang of Three didn't make it out of the city last night, and she will be no exception, she must still be in the city.
But that's not enough, Hanning has an area of nearly 6,400 square kilometers, and the city area accounts for 5,330 square kilometers, and there are hundreds of vegetable markets alone. Fortunately, in the background sound he heard, the engine of the truck could be faintly heard.
[... The road is wide.... Vegetable market... Old Town....]
Manager Zheng has also been in Hanning City for many years, and he has been to most large and small places, and he remembers that in the old city south of Hanning City, there is a large open-air market, which is outside the main monitoring area of the 'Sky Eye'.
And the last sound he can remember, and the most decisive sound, is the call of the thrush.
He opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving slightly.
"The database of the Sky Eye Satellite has been updated, right?"
Secretary Wu nodded to him.
"Send someone to the old city in the south of the city, there is a place called Tianci Market, there should be some bird cages hanging in front of the doors of several shops, and call up the surveillance in the vicinity."
Manager Zheng got up from his chair and walked to the window, looking at the southern end of the city.
"It's time for our 'Miss Mystery' to show her face." He took a sip of the coffee on the table and asked, "Did the spy catch it?" ”
Secretary Wu responded: "Not yet, but I think it should be soon." ”
"Better hurry." He looked into the distance and said with a smile, "I have something I can't wait to ask him." ”
