Chapter 153: Triggering the Alert System
Wang Cheng removed these ties, revealing the bottom of the drawer, and gently uncovered the bottom of the drawer, revealing a keyboard, above which was an LCD screen.
Enter the code, only to hear a slight sound from the ceiling, and a pair of stairs descending - this secret room is the real "absolute secret room", and Lily has funded the renovation of this building to separate this secret room. The secret room in the bedroom is only a vault in the usual sense, which is used to store ordinary valuables.
The length and width of each room on the fourth floor are compared with the student apartment downstairs and the professor's apartment, and if you want to separate the secret room on the fourth floor, you only need to take a ruler to measure it, and you will find that the size of each room is wrong. Only in this rooftop chamber does it take advantage of the staggered attics of the roof to create visual errors, and separate such a secret dwelling to store life-threatening items. And the secret room in the bedroom on the fourth floor is just a bait to distract attention.
This "absolute chamber" is small in size and has metal plates installed on all six sides. This kind of metal plate can isolate the emission of eavesdropping signals - if in an embassy, a similar secret room is called a soundproof room, a top secret room, and it is here that the conspiracy is generally planned.
There were several guns hanging on the walls of the secret room, long and short, but Lily was not known for using weapons, so these weapons were only used for self-defense, and Wang Cheng suspected that the other party had not touched them at all...... The few electronic devices left behind in the room are Lily's specialty, those are mainframe computers, personal computers, and satellite networking facilities...... Yuri often hides here in her spare time, playing around with some hacking tricks for entertainment.
The power supply of the computer used here is readable, and it uses its own battery power. The computer in the back room can only be activated if the house security system is turned on.
Wang Cheng sat in front of the computer desk, first closed the overhanging staircase, so that the secret room was completely closed, and did not rush to start the computer, put the toolbox in his hand on the workbench, took out the metal box obtained from the smuggling captain's room, and began to burn the lock with a laser gun.
This metal box is used to store valuables, and if the lock is not opened with a key, it will automatically activate the hidden alarm device and send out a wireless positioning signal so that the owner can find it. However, after Wang Cheng's inspection, the smuggling captain obviously did not want the box to activate the self-destruct device, so he turned off the self-destruct function of the box in advance.
Before, Wang Cheng had never opened the metal box, because he was worried about the wireless positioning signal emitted by the box. This kind of signal uses the international code, as long as someone nearby receives the signal, immediately know that there is a thief, although he can immediately discard the box, but this kind of thing, can be avoided or be careful.
The box was opened, and sure enough, it was mainly the captain who smuggled the gems, and the box contained rough diamonds and tanzanite rough stones. Among the four boxes, one box of rough diamonds is more than three carats and less than five carats, and this box is relatively full; There is a box of rough diamonds of more than 5 carats and less than 10 carats, but there are only more than 10 in the box; There were two boxes left, one containing three larger rough diamonds and the other containing tanzanite, both of which were purer in color and larger in particles.
Wang Cheng took the box and thought about it: This is a lot of wealth, but at present, the international community is relatively strict about the investigation of "blood diamonds", so the smuggling captain has this wealth, but he can't find a way to process it, so he has never been able to realize it......
In fact, Wang Cheng couldn't find a way to process diamonds and tanzanite, so for him, this wealth was also something that "can only be seen but not used".
He sighed, casually placed the gems on the shelves of the vault, and physically destroyed the outer shell of the box......
As soon as he walked out of the secret room, the personal terminal he carried with him raised an alarm - someone had touched the security system that had just been turned on.
Wang Cheng opened the personal terminal and found that the alarm was located in the attic on the roof, and someone had crossed the wooden fence between the attics.
This house is called a "rabbit's nest" by Lily, which is not to say that Lily likes to eat carrots or raise rabbits, but because this building is accessible in all directions, with hidden passages and stairs everywhere, and the rooms communicate with each other, making it a good place to hide and seek.
Wang Cheng walked back to the master bedroom on the fourth floor in a hurry, and at this time, outside the attic on the roof, the doorbell rang non-stop. Wang Cheng leisurely descended the hidden elevator staircase in the master bedroom, climbed up to the attic bedroom, and then went to the bathroom to turn on the hot water, first hurriedly wet himself, and then twisted the hot water faucet of the bathtub to the maximum, and dripped a few drops of perfume in the water to let the smell of the bath come out, and then put on a pajama and opened the door to the sundeck.
Outside the door stood an old man in his fifties, with gray hair, hazel eyes, and a brown suit with leather blocks at his elbows, and a pedantic with a plate of freshly baked bread and a small plate of salt. Seeing Wang Cheng appear, he frowned slightly, and immediately smiled again and said, "Hello, I'm your tenant Jermaine. Welcome to Cambridge, Messer. ”
Wang Cheng pointed to the yukata on his body embarrassedly: "Hello, professor, please forgive me, I just experienced a long trip and am taking a bath......"
The professor handed over the plate: "It's okay, I don't mind. ”
Wang Cheng hurriedly welcomed the professor in, took a small pinch of bread, dipped it in a little salt, tasted it a little, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your welcome, professor, please allow me to change my clothes." ”
"It's okay, please take care of yourself," the professor looked at the room with nostalgia.
Everything in this room was left behind by Lily...... But in fact, there is not much to do, for this house, Lily only has time to furnish the two master bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, as well as the living room downstairs. The upstairs living room (living room) doesn't even have a sofa, the room is empty, there is only an LCD TV hanging on the wall, and a few furnishings by the fireplace are still added when Wang Cheng first came in.
Wang Cheng changed his clothes and turned off the faucet in the bathroom, at this time, the water vapor was steaming, and the fragrance of bath liquid wafted in the room.
When Wang Cheng walked out of the bedroom, he found that Messer was already sitting on the ground, looking around curiously.
The floor of this building is a terrazzo pattern floor, with fine Indian small red stone, Pakistani green, Kashmir blue spelling out a typical British pattern, the floor is very clean, the professor sits on the ground like a child, not afraid of embarrassment at all, Wang Cheng stretched out his hand to the other party: "Raul. Stevenson, art dealer. ”
This identity is Wang Cheng's new pseudonym - no, it should be one of Wang Cheng's cover identities. This identity is authentic and withstands the most severe scrutiny. It is a Belgian nationality, and Belgium is a country that recognizes multiple citizenship and allows the nationality of four countries at the same time. With the help of this identity, Wang Cheng can legally have four different names, four different nationalities, and four different occupations.
Professor Messer jumped: "I'm sorry, but I came early. When I went back to the study just now, I saw that the lights were on here, and suddenly I wanted to know the news of Oda Sakurako, so I ......"
Wang Cheng frowned: "Oda Sakurako? Who is it? ”
Professor Messer reminded: "The original owner of this building! ”
Wang Cheng made a sudden realization: "It turned out to be ...... I'm sorry, Professor, but I did the deal through a lawyer and didn't have any contact with the original owner...... Wait, I'll check the contract, maybe it has her signature on it. ”
Professor Messer was full of disappointment: "So, Miss Sakurako sold the building without seeing each other again, and you, without talking to the original owner, bought the building - you didn't even see the building before the transaction, did you?" ”
Wang Cheng calmly replied: "No, I have seen it, my lawyer showed me the photos, recommended this building to me, and I also checked the satellite photos of this building through Google Maps......"
Professor Messer smiled wryly, looking frustrated: "The development of technology has made it possible for people to be very familiar with each other without having to meet each other, but they are very strange......
Wang Cheng asked cautiously, "What are you going to drink...... I'm sorry, I don't even have a chair here, maybe we can go to the pavilion on the top of the building and have a drink. ”
The professor tilted his face and asked, "Is there any beer?" ”
Wang Cheng was stopped by this question, and he remembered that there was a large bar in the living room, where there were almost hundreds of kinds of wine, but there was no beer.
With a change of thought in his heart, Wang Cheng simply said: "Professor, why don't we go out for a drink, I just got off the plane, why don't we have dinner together." ”
The professor was obviously an informal person, and he did not refuse Wang Cheng's invitation, and led Wang Cheng out of the attic, through the roof garden to his study, and then down the stairs from the study to the fourth floor, and then took the elevator to leave.
It is the first time for Wang Cheng to come to the professor's large unit, which has a staircase spiraling in a hollow shape, with an elevator in the center of the staircase, with two or three households on each floor, only one on the fourth floor, and a wall opposite the door of Professor Messer's room...... It is estimated that this wall is the wall of the secret room hidden in Wang Cheng's master bedroom on the fourth floor.
On the first floor of the large unit is a public laundry room, and there are more than 20 coin-operated drum washing machines in a circle against the wall. In the center of the laundry room is a large oak table, which is used to clean the ironing and folding workbench after washing the laundry.
There are only more than 20 washing machines on the first floor of the whole large unit, which seems to be empty, but this kind of automatic washing machine takes a long time to wash a pot of clothes, so there are many simple computer desks set up on the side of the window for students to read while waiting for the laundry to finish. There are still a few reclining chairs and sofas in the house, but the students seem to prefer to sit on the lawn in front of the building.
At this time, there were already many men and women sitting under the ancient tree in front of the building, and when they saw the professor come out, everyone greeted each other, and the professor returned the salute one by one, and then introduced to Wang Cheng: "These students are not all your tenants, many of them are close to the dormitory building, because the lawn here is very large, so they all come here to wash clothes and sit idle." ”
After passing through the lawn in front of the building, and walking about 400 meters, I came to a tavern, and a bronze plaque from the previous year hung on the door of the tavern, and the bronze plaque covered with green moss read: Cannon Club.
