Hearing Laura's words, Su Bai immediately understood: "So, what this sentence means is that in the starlight sapphire in the imperial crown, there is an important clue inscribed. ”

"That's how it should be." Laura nodded.

"Well, now wait for Alex to open the box and see if the crown is inside." Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, in a hotel high-class suite, a handsome red-haired guy opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Mr. Seth." Looking at the man in the suit guarding the door, he raised his eyebrows, "Tell you boss, I have found a clue to the next step, and now I need a crown." ”

The man in the suit, known as Seth, took one look at him and pulled out his phone.

Drake leaned against the doorframe, his hands on his chest and looked at him for a long time.

Moments later, the phone was dialed.

"What's the matter?"

"Drake has found the next clue and needs the crown." Seth said succinctly.

"Give him the phone."

"Yes."

Seth answered and handed the phone to Drake: "The boss wants to talk to you." ”

Drake took the phone.

"Mr. Drake, I hear you've found the next clue."

"That's right." Drake said, "I need the crown now to validate my idea." ”

"No, we'll verify it ourselves." The man on the other end of the phone said, "Tell me your guess." ”

Drake was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, you're the boss. There is a good chance that the treasure map was carved into a star sapphire in the crown. Light at a certain angle should be able to project it, or you can take a magnifying glass and take a look. ”

"Good." The man said satisfied, "When we verify the news, the next payment will be credited to your account immediately." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Drake shrugged, tossed his phone to Seth, and headed for the elevator.

"Where are you going?"

Seth put his phone away and immediately followed.

"Of course, it's going to the bar to pick up girls. You can also keep along, Mr. Bodyguard. ”

……

in the office.

The middle-aged man in a suit looked at the blonde man in front of him with his back to him, and said, "The next clue has also been found, the map is in the sapphire in the crown." ”

The blonde man who was looking at the scenery outside the glass window looked back: "Then there is only one question now. ”

"I've already laid out my plan of action for the next step." The man immediately replied, "The squad will set out tonight to retrieve the crown." ”

"No, no, no, plans need to change." The blonde man waved his hand and said with a smile, "All we want is a map, and as for the broken crown, it has no value." ”

He turned to look outside, his expression intoxicated: "Because when we get the holy relics back, everything in the old times will be abandoned." A new crown will be forged, and we will be the kings of the new era. ”

The middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, and he nodded: "I know, I will let the squad take the sapphire." What to do with the crown? ”

"Crown? Isn't there someone trying to grab that thing? Just give it to them. The blonde man glanced at him and said.

"Understood."

The blonde man answered, turned and left the office.

……

In the evening, Crawford Manor.

Alex found Su Bai.

"I've unlocked the electronic lock of the box. As you asked, without entering the final password, waiting for you to go in person. He said.

"Untied?" Su Bai was overjoyed, "Well done, just leave the rest to me." ”

Alex handed a USB flash drive to Su Bai and said, "Plug it into the computer and press the enter key." The electronic lock opens within three seconds. ”

Su Bai took the USB flash drive and patted him on the shoulder: "I've worked hard for you, now go and take a good rest." ”

"Sue, I have one thing to remind you." Alex hesitated and said.

"What?" Su Bai looked at him and asked.

"This electronic lock ......," Alex frowned, "it feels weird to me." I can't say the specifics, but there are subtle differences from normal electronic password procedures. I'm not sure if this is my delusion, but you'd better be careful. There's nothing wrong with unlocking the password, but if it's a trap, there's a good chance that unlocking the password is a signal to trigger the trap. ”

Su Bai's heart sank, and he said solemnly: "I know." ”

"Be careful yourself." Alex said, then turned to leave.

Su Bai glanced at the USB flash drive in his hand and walked towards the basement.

When I got to the basement, the computer screen on the desk was still on. Next to it was the box, and a few wires connected it to the computer.

Su Bai walked to the table, looked at the box fixedly for a moment, took a deep breath, plugged the USB flash drive into the computer, and then reached out and knocked it on the enter key.

A small pop-up window of "...... typing" immediately appeared on the screen, followed by a three-second countdown.

In a short moment, the countdown ended. Su Bai tensed all over, and when he heard a click, the electronic lock opened.

The fact that the expected explosion and the like didn't happen reassured him.

Reaching out to lift the lid of the box, what greeted me was not the ornate crown, but a sophisticated instrument with a display on it.

The screen lights up, and a familiar handsome face appears on it.

“sayhello！ How's that, were you surprised? This gentleman, oh, maybe a young lady, but it doesn't matter. ”

"Anyway, I'm sorry to tell you that the crown isn't here. But I've got a little gift for you here, and I hope you'll enjoy it. Rest assured, not a bomb, but a very special gift.

"By the way, this gift was also taken from the crown, so it can be regarded as a consolation prize. Well, goodbye. ”

The screen goes off, and the next moment it suddenly lights up again.

The handsome blonde man smiled brightly: "By the way, friendly reminder, you'd better go to the window and look outside, maybe you have a guest arriving." ”

With a snort, a flame suddenly ignited in the box, quickly destroying the entire instrument, leaving only a small electronic component at the bottom.

Su Bai picked up the electronic component, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, and suddenly his face changed.

Before he could react, there was a loud bang, and a grenade was thrown in.

Su Bai immediately rushed to the side, and the explosion sounded, and his eyes were instantly filled with a dazzling white light.

Amid the sound of hurried footsteps, heavily armed secret service officers rushed in.

A loud roar rang out in the basement.

"NSA!"

"Immediately put down your weapons and crouch down with your head in your hands!"

"Stop resisting!"

Su Bai, who was hiding behind the table, slowly raised his hands, his face gloomy.

Two agents stepped forward, brutally twisted his hands behind his back, and handcuffed him. At the same time, others began to search the entire basement.
