Chapter 268: The Thief (3)
"How did you find me?" "Little boy" asked. He was also a man of great and risk-taking skills, as evidenced by the fact that he dared to hide himself and the diamond less than fifty feet from the residence of Constantine's rival.
He expected Konstantin. What kind of thing is Cloven, although some people have always said that he is an ambitious, thoughtful dangerous person - he has long seen that this benevolent brother is just a coward who is strong on the outside and on the inside, if this matter is done by another person, whether it is the "elder" of the Clovin family, the secretary, or those "hammers", even if it is a health doctor, he will not just turn around and leave-at this critical juncture, he still does not dare to confront anyone- This is also the reason why many people are not optimistic about him. Perhaps because the first twenty years of his life have always been an unappreciated relationship between the second son, Konstantin always lacks a little confidence, and he is indecisive and hesitant to do things, which makes people discouraged.
He had no outstanding talents, his intellect was average, his appearance could only be described as dignified, and Madame's decision was for him like a beautiful hat that fell from the sky and landed right on top of his head, and this magnificent and glorious hat was so heavy that the greedy fool could not breathe, but he was reluctant to take it off anyway—one day he would break his neck, the "little boy" thought.
But how did these "Masoye" people find him? In order to be sure, even Madame did not know his whereabouts, and it was a bit of a surprise to see that Alixese could come over so quickly...... Then it occurred to him that the health care doctor might be following Konstantin.
He had killed and replaced Yelena and her mistress two weeks earlier, and he had burrowed into the aboriginal area the night he had gotten into the Dielena on the night he had made a move on Yelena. During the whole process, he did not contact anyone, nor did he leave any clues that could be traced.
"Hmm, guess?" Father Peter said.
The "little boy" pouted, and he took a careful step out, and Father Peter smiled at him compassionately, and he immediately ran away. Leave the people of Bisandi and the Clovin family in the kitchen.
The shape of the Yupik hut is strange, perhaps because they are accustomed to living in leather tents, and even the wooden houses are a bit like tents - in the middle is a rotunda and the dining table is in the kitchen. The trapdoor of the pantry is on the floor of the kitchen, and the room is arranged around the rotunda, with no door between the bedroom and the rotunda, only a curtain, which is cotton when it is hot and fur when it is cold.
He stood in the rotunda, contemplating whether to revert to the appearance of a young man, oh, forget it, it hurts.
"I'm going back." He was standing in the old woman's room. Through that thin curtain, the curtain was so thin that even the wind could blow it when he spoke, and so many people had come in this house for so long. The old woman was able to sleep peacefully in it.
"Really?" The person inside replied without surprise. "So when will my nephew come to see me?"
"A week or so." By that time everything was in order, and the well-paid temporary job of the foolish Yupik had come to an end, and he would come to see his old aunt and grandmother according to the old time.
The "little boy" walked away without waiting for the old woman to say anything more, and human beings are also creatures that grow older and more dangerous, and he stayed with Konstantin for two weeks, ate dozens of meals with him, and drank countless glasses of wine. He had been in bed for more than a dozen years, and he had not realized that his closest pillow had been replaced—and the old woman, with dazzling eyes and deaf ears, and walking like a turtle, had almost shut him out of the door—if not for his thoughtfulness. She had with her a postcard written to her by her nephew, and she might have beaten him into a sieve with that powerful automatic rifle.
In this way, she also let him eat the stinky horse meat for two days.
But the cheese burritos she makes are really delicious.
Alexei took his man and the diamonds, and the people of Poseidon Island looked at them through the crack in the cotton curtain as they left.
A flock of black ravens perches on the poplar and pine trees that dot the entire Aboriginal area. They make a low croaking or cooing sound, have shiny plumage, and are one of the most common birds here.
The shapeshifting paranormal thinks he/she is secretive and elusive, but he/she can escape surveillance probes and human eyes, but not the sharp-eyed raven, a small bird known as one of the most intelligent birds, when the raven finds an animal's carcass or a hard, thick egg (e.g., an ostrich egg) that cannot be torn open or chiseled by its own power, it will call wolves, wild dogs, and vultures to share with them, but when the wolf and dog tear the carcass open, Their tails are harassed by ravens until they have to give up their food; The vultures, which are relatively weak, will be driven away directly by the ravens after pecking open the eggshells;
They also hunt cooperatively, and when catching a lizard, several ravens will make a detour to the lizard's hole to block its retreat, while others will attack the lizard that has left the nest, and when it succeeds, the raven responsible for blocking the hole will rush back to share the food with the crow in charge of the catch.
In some cases, ravens will fly long distances to hide their food, as their companions will steal it, and some of the more intelligent ravens will pretend to hide their food to confuse the "thieves" among the birds.
In addition to croaking, they can make a wider variety of sounds and even learn to speak.
Sasha knew how to summon rats and make them act as he pleased, and now that he knew and wielded his powers, it was no more difficult to attract a raven or two that were circling around the hotel in search of food than a regular guest calling a hotel waiter.
And the ravens were much smarter and more obedient than the waiters—one raven soon called the others, and about half a dozen beaks, eyes, feathers, and paws were pitch-black birds to meet on a branch near the hotel, and then they flew away to convey the request of the humans, and within an hour a raven came to report that they had seen Yelena, and they could not accurately estimate the time. But I remember that after that, "I only slept once", "iron", "moving houses", "many", "humans", "mothers", "blood", "dangers", and that "mothers" carried "dangers...... Always with it. After it, five ravens were connected, and they had all seen a "human" with "danger", "male human", "here", "there" - the last raven told the human who made them feel very comfortable that it had seen a lot of horse intestines, hot horse intestines, but, "danger". "Can't get close.".
Anthony. Hopkins immediately guessed what kind of treasure was hidden in the belly of the slaughtered horse.
The impersonator of Elena stole 650 million worth of diamonds, including 100 grams of polonium still in its half-life, and he may have put the latter in a small box that could hide it perfectly when he got his hands on it, but that couldn't hide the intuition of the birds and beasts, but. Even if he saw the big black birds flying inexplicably in the air, he would never have thought that they were "flying" to each other with small messages about dangerous goods.
The rest is a matter of course.
They didn't want to take the diamonds, especially since there were 100 grams of polonium in them. But they got a card that was more important than 200 million diamonds, and the shelf life of this card was not long, depending on how long Konstantin could hold it up, but it would be useful to play it at a critical moment.
"How can they have polonium?" Beelzebub asked, knowing that polonium was one of the rarest elements. The content in the earth's crust is only about 1 trillion, and most of the polonium used by people today is synthesized, this metal is very radioactive and harmful, it is 250 million times more toxic than cyanide, and only the size of a dust particle is enough to kill people. Moreover, when combined with the inert metal lithium, it becomes a detonator that can achieve the highest energy of atomic reactions - that is, the "lei tube" of fission weapons, which is often referred to.
Because of this, its output is monitored, and the world's production is only 100 grams per year.
And Konstantin had a hundred grams of polonium in his hands.
"Before that upheaval, it was a country." Anthony. "They have particle accelerators and nuclear reactors, and now even the Cloves don't have all of them, and these polonium must have been made by some unfortunate fellow, who may have wanted to do something earth-shattering - and was caught by Konstantin," Hopkins said.
"Constantine did not report the matter, nor did the Presbyterians, nor did Mrs. Cloven," said Father Peter, "and, of course, we now know that Madame Cloven was in the know, and that she not only intercepted this wonderful opportunity, but also took a bite out of the disobedient little cub. ”
"They're courting us." Sasha said.
"Not really! "Mrs. Clauven must not be allowed to come herself," said Father Peter, cheerfully saying that it was a delightful pleasure to watch former enemies mingle in the nest, "and we are not qualified enough, we just need to bring back the words." ”
"At the same time, she is showing weakness," said Dr. Hopkins, "and it seems that Mrs. Clovin is very wary and serious about the coming war, and she does not want to see the Clovin family have to fight on both sides." ”
"Mrs. Cloven has made too many concessions - what are they fighting for?" Beelzebub asked, "Don't tell me that the Clovin family is preparing to start raising reindeer and ravens." ”
Father Peter cast an appreciative look: "A piece of information that can finally be confirmed - in the northernmost part of Orlosa, they have found a large mine, a huge crater formed by the collision of an asteroid, ten times the diameter of the Orrosa diamond crater, with a production of trillions of carats, which can be continuously developed for three thousand years. ”
Ravens followed their car, occasionally rolling in the air for a roll or two.
In northern mythology, on the shoulders of the main god who holds the fate of all humans and gods stand two ravens, one called Fujin and the other called Wuni, who can listen and see everything in the world; In the Bible, ravens peck open the shroud of Jesus Christ; Some of the southern aborigines believed that the land was made by ravens, but in many more places, ravens were believed to be messengers of death, intimately associated with ominous omens and death, as we could always see flocks of black toucans rising and falling in every brutal battlefield.
They came to eat the carrion of corpses.
