Chapter 43

With a "coax", customers crowded towards the door, and the gate was tightly blocked by the flow of people. The guards hurriedly stepped forward to divert the flow of people and maintain order.

A guard covered his nose and said to a security guard, "Someone is going to be unlucky today." ”

George, the bank manager, was in a hurry, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, helpless.

The vice president of the bank walked into the lobby and said angrily to the bank manager: "George, what are you doing, it stinks, it's not like words." Quickly find out the situation and report back to me! ”

George said: "It could be that there was a problem with the sewer pipe, and somewhere it was blocked, and I saw that I quickly found a plumber to repair it." ”

The deputy governor covered his nose with a handkerchief and said: "Hurry up, don't stand stupidly, find someone to repair it as soon as possible, it must be repaired!" ”

The manager didn't say a word, ran to the gate, looked at the endless traffic in front of the door, scratched his ears and cheeks, and didn't know what to do.

George suddenly saw a van truck parked on the side of the road, with a large line written on the body: Meifenhe Road Pipeline Repair Company, and a small line written underneath: "Professional repair, unclogging sewer pipes." "There were two workers standing outside the car, smoking and chatting.

These two are none other than Richard and Charlie, the dwarf, in disguise.

George seemed to see a savior, hurriedly ran forward, and pleaded: "Two masters, two masters, there is a problem with the sewer pipe of our bank, please help repair it, okay?" The manager politely handed over two high-end cigarettes.

Richard took the cigarette, muttered, and said listlessly, "Damn, life is hard, it's time to work again." Where, Empire's? ”

After settling the claim, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, from the Imperial Bank." ”

Charlie, the dwarf, said lazily: "The whole street stinks, it stinks, it's your empire." ”

The manager stuffed a handful of Bo coins, "The two masters have worked hard, it's a little meaning, smile and smile." ”

Richard pretended to excuse himself, accepted the money and said: "Intestinal obstruction, I think it's a problem with the municipal pipe network, maybe it's fucking blocked again." ”

Dwarf Charlie: "How can you not block it, do you think, the pipeline that was repaired in the eighties of the last century is still in use after more than 50 years, can it not be blocked?" ”

The manager urged on the side: "Let's go, let's go, master, hurry up and overhaul." ”

Richard and Charlie, the dwarf, took out their tool bags from the car compartment, took the large movers, and followed the bank manager swaggering into the gate of the Imperial Bank.

George took them to inspect on the first floor first. They went into the water room, pretended to make a look, and began to check each room one by one.

They checked the first floor and checked the second floor, and the second floor checked the third floor, and so they checked it layer by layer.

The two followed George to the third floor, where there was a large steel door with a turntable-style combination lock on the door. Outside the door there was a security guard, wearing a top hat and sitting on a chair reading a newspaper. The security guard stared at the two men with a wary gaze, then lowered his head to look at his newspaper.

Richard and Charlie looked at each other, and Lee turned to the manager and ordered, "Open this door!" ”

George stopped the two with his body: "No, it's better not to check this room." ”

Richard pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why don't you look into it, if the problem happens to be here?" ”

George had no choice but to say, "Well, okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll come when I go." ”

The two knew that the manager had asked their superiors to go, and after waiting for a while, the manager came back and said to the two: "The president said that this room can't be checked." Let's look up other rooms. ”

The two of them had no choice but to leave the door.

The three of them went downstairs. George said to the two: "It seems that the investigation will not be finished today, or you will go back first, and come back tomorrow morning, it is estimated that the investigation will be completed one day." ”

Richard grimaced and put his moving hand in his pocket, "There's no time tomorrow, you think we're having a meal, tell you, our work is scheduled for next month." ”

George was embarrassed, "What then?" ”

Charlie, the dwarf, said, "What should I do, let's check overnight after eating." ”

George obviously didn't want to work overtime, "Ah, overnight checks? Otherwise, don't go back, spend the night in the building, have a bed in the guest room, and check again tomorrow morning. What do you think? I packed it for dinner. ”

Richard deliberately pretended to be angry, "Spending the night in the building? How can that work, my wife won't scold me to death when I go back tomorrow. ”

The manager hurriedly laughed and said: "The two masters are good, help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, check all day today, the whole bank is still stinky and coaxing, tomorrow there will be no problem, the brother's job will be lost, you two will insist on one night, this is a small matter......"

George groped in his pocket for a while, took out a large handful of banknotes, and stuffed them into two people: "This is a hard work, a thousand waves of coins per person, and I count my filial piety to the two." ”

Richard pretended to sniffle, "Such a large sum of money, it's really deserved, but it's disrespectful, since the manager thinks so highly of us, then let's let it go and stay for one night." ”

The dwarf Charlie pretended to be greedy and said: "For the sake of money, then give up your life to accompany the gentleman." ”

When George saw that the two of them agreed, he almost jumped up for joy, and said to them: "You wait, I'll go get some wine and food, and we'll have a good drink tonight." The manager trotted off.

Richard saw that there was no one around, and bit the ear of the dwarf Charlie, who nodded frequently.

After a while, George returned, with a bottle of good wine in his hand. The manager led the two into the manager's room, put the lunch box on the table, and opened it to be roast chicken, braised duck, hairtail, meat, some cold kelp shreds and oil-pressed peanuts.

George poured two large jars of wine for the two, "Come on, come on, fill up, come on, come on, do it!" Oops, the two masters have really worked hard, you're welcome, eat, drink. ”

The two were indeed hungry, and in the face of good wine and food, they feasted heartily. While frequently toasting the manager.

George is a good drinker, drinking, and the two of them are slashed, "Six-six-six, ah......"

After a shout, George couldn't stand the two of them from attacking in turn, and finally got drunk, crawled on the table and snored.

Richard saw that the opportunity had arrived, and glanced at Charlie, the dwarf, and the two got up, retrieved the key from the manager, and ran to the third floor.

On the third floor, they first found the distribution box and closed the electric switch on the third floor. The entire third floor was immediately plunged into darkness.

Charlie, the dwarf, opened the door with ****, and came to the safe in the dark, and there was a turntable lock on the door.

With the flickering neon lights on the street, Charlie picked up the key and tried to open it one by one, for about ten minutes, only to hear a soft "click", the hidden lock inside was opened, but there was a turntable combination lock outside, and the cabinet door still did not move.

Charlie the dwarf took out a stethoscope from his bosom and put it on, while pointing the probe at the turntable and listening carefully, slowly turning the turntable to the left...... Turn the ...... to the right Turn the ...... again Turning the ...... repeatedly

Richard looked down at his watch, the minutes ticking by, the slowly turning dial, the focused eyes, the sweat on his face......

Richard anxiously raised his wrist and looked at his luminous watch, it was already 2:15 in the morning.

Charlie the dwarf leaned over the door, his body motionless, staring intently at the turntable, his fingers slowly turning, sweat almost drenching his whole body, but Richard couldn't help at all. He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Charlie, the dwarf.

Richard couldn't help but just wanted to ask, but suddenly, there was a crisp sound, the first lock opened, and Charlie, the dwarf, let out a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Richard hugged him excitedly and whispered, "Lao Xi, you really have you." ”

Charlie, the dwarf, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's been a long time to throw, and my hands are a little raw, it's okay, I passed the exam, let me deal with the next lock." ”

Richard said with some concern: "It's half past four now, I'm afraid it's going to be soon, I'll go down and see if George has woken up." ”

Charlie the dwarf struggled to sit up, leaning over the other combination lock and busily opening it.

Manager's room on the first floor.

The interior lights were still on, and Richard crept in, and saw George lying on the couch, still asleep, his mouth wide open, and the smell of wine spewing into the sky.

Richard took out a powerful sleeping pill, put it in a glass of water, melted it, and then carefully helped the manager up and poured it into him one by one.

Then, Richard went back to the third floor in the dark, and Charlie the dwarf was still unlocking the second turntable lock. After a long while, I heard a "click", and the second lock finally opened. The two of them shook their fists excitedly.

Richard looked into the cabinet, the black hole was hollow, and he shone it with a wolf's eye flashlight, oh my God, that crystal crystal skull, lying quietly on the shelf, almost the same size as the skull when he was in the country of M when the shaman Ma Qiuqi told him fortunes. He couldn't hide his excitement, and he almost shouted hooray.

"Skull, skull, I've found you, I'll take you back to country M."

He couldn't believe his eyes, and the crystal skull appeared in front of him dreamily.

The skull was blue, watery, and clear, with a mysterious glow.

He said in his heart: I have gone through many hardships and dangers, traveled through the time tunnel, and suffered a lot of spiritual torture, and finally fulfilled my mission, found the crystal skull, and completed the mission to Atlantis.

In a trance, he thought he was dreaming, so he pinched his thigh hard, fortunately, there was pain, he knew that it was not a dream.

"Let's get out of here."

Richard closed the door of the safe again, put the skull in a sack, and the two of them opened the door and slipped out, turning back to close the steel door and lock it.

The two of them carried the sack down to the first floor, found the infirmary at the end of the corridor, opened the door with the set of keys, and carried the sack into the infirmary.

Richard returned to the manager's room and found George still lying on the couch snoring and falling asleep. He quietly hung the key on George's belt again, and turned back to close the door.

In the infirmary, Richard found an emergency bed with a pulley at the bottom, lifted the top layer of the bed to reveal a mezzanine, and placed the crystal skull inside. Finally, the top layer of bed is covered with a white sheet.
