Chapter 117: Stand-in
Liang Hu sat on the couch with a magnetic storm rifle in both hands, and on the table opposite him, the screen of his laptop displayed multiple real-time images, allowing Liang Hu to see the bustling scene outside the door of the most prestigious Angel Hotel in Pattaya City. Liang Hu had been waiting in this room for nearly three hours, and if it weren't for the occasional breathing on his chest that was slightly undulating, he would have looked more like a stone statue sitting there.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Pattaya City will hold a New Year's reception according to the custom, inviting local dignitaries and wealthy people to attend. Although everyone knows that Khunbalangchai is a big drug lord, no one has ever been able to find any connection between him and drugs, and in the eyes of the local citizens, Khunbalangchai is a kind and generous person.
So many important people were present, the local police were all dispatched to do enough security work, one or two kilometers of streets near the Angel Hotel were set up barricades everywhere, and there were patrols with police dogs patrolling back and forth from time to time in the streets and alleys, and all the high-rise buildings that could directly observe the Angel Hotel were guarded by plainclothes squatting, in the words of the police commissioner in charge of this security work, that is, there was no pass, and even a fly did not want to enter.
Liang Hu's express hotel and the Angel Hotel are almost three kilometers away, not within the scope of the police blockade, if you look out of the window, you can see the square outside the Angel Hotel, but there are many obstacles in the middle of the two to block the view, Liang Hu can see the people standing in the square clearly with the bird-watching telescope, but can only see about a very narrow part of the area.
Without considering the influence of environmental factors such as wind speed and humidity, the bullet fired by the powerful Bartley sniper rifle can reach an initial velocity of about 850 seconds per second when it flies out of the muzzle, and if it can successfully hit a target 3,000 meters away, the bullet will fly in the air for at least 3.5 seconds. Liang Hu was able to see a relatively narrow area with the naked eye, so he either had to calculate the amount of fire in advance, or he had to find a way to keep the target in his field of vision for a short period of time.
In order to solve this problem, Li Zhize came forward to arrange a qiē, and he transmitted the footage captured by several surveillance cameras, so that Liang Hu could receive them through the guò network, so that Liang Hu could clearly grasp the dynamics of the scene 3 kilometers away without leaving home. When the target arrives at the hotel gate, Liang Hu can calculate the amount of advance according to the transmitted footage, and now some of the reporters in charge of the report will rush forward to ask Kun Balangchai questions, dragging him in place for a few seconds as much as possible to buy Liang Hu time.
"Attention, the target's convoy has appeared!" came the voice of Li Zhize from the headset, his boss Mr. Zheng is a member of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and as an assistant, Li Zhize is certainly qualified to appear as a staff member at the scene. Today's task of Li Zhize is also very important, he is responsible for confirming the identity of the target for Liang Hu and reporting the wind direction and other information, if Liang Hu successfully shoots and hits the target, Li Zhize will also find a way to confirm the life and death of the target.
Liang Hu stood up and walked to the window, and as he passed the table, Liang Hu casually adjusted the direction of the laptop so that he only needed to turn sideways to see the picture displayed on the screen. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this morning, Qin Ruoyun and Yao Xueqing sisters have already boarded the plane back to China, so that Liang Hu does not have any worries in the local area, he can do his own things as he wants, so there is another advantage, that is, Liang Hu's current identity is a civilian, no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with the Celestial Empire, and it will not cause political and diplomatic turmoil.
The black Lincoln Extended Luxury RV slowly stopped, several bodyguards quickly got out of the car, stood facing out, and an old man in his fifties with a stick in his arm walked down with a young girl in his arms, and Liang Hutong glanced at the screen of the computer screen a few times, confirming that he was the target he was waiting for. Before coming to this express hotel, Liang Hu had carefully observed the environment there at the door of the Angel Hotel, and he knew that it would only take ten seconds at most for Kunbalangchai to appear within his naked eye, so he quietly pushed open half of the window and aimed the magnetic storm rifle in his hand outside.
"Attention! Attention! The target goes to the predetermined location!" Li Zhize's voice sounded in the headset, in fact, he didn't need to remind him, Liang Hu had already started to check the crowd outside the hotel through the guò bird-watching telescope, looking for a gap for himself to shoot.
"The direction of the wind...... Humidity...... The temperature ......" Li Zhize gently informed the number of people on the scene one by one, so that Liang Hu could adjust the angle of the launch according to his own assistance, his approach was quite professional, but it was a pity that it was a bit of a pearl. Liang Hu has not received military sniper training at all, knows nothing about these things, and has no experience in long-range sniping at all.
Because it uses the "Golden Light Fu" concentrating array instead of energy power, this magnetic storm rifle has far surpassed the future magnetic weapon in a certain way, and the bullet it fires is similar to the dazzling white light of the Golden Light Fu, and the muzzle velocity can reach more than 3,000 meters per second, in other words, the bullet only needs to fly in the air for one second to hit the target.
The flight speed of nearly ten times the speed of sound makes the golden projectile almost unaffected by external factors during the flight, not only that, but the golden projectile that is launched is also a magic weapon refined by Liang Hu using the technique of drawing golden light runes, Liang Hu will inject his spiritual sense into it before launching it, and the moment it approaches the target after launching, this golden projectile will be automatically activated, and the attack rules will be corrected according to the fleeting spiritual consciousness attached to it.
"Countdown, 3, 2, 1!" With the last number appearing, Kunbalangchai appeared in Liang Hu's bird-watching telescope, and he immediately put his finger on the side of the gun, stroked it lightly on the round golden button-like object, and then raised his finger again. The magnetic storm rifle made by Liang Hu didn't have a trigger, he only needed to release the aura like an activation talisman to activate the shot.
In the bird-watching binoculars, a young and beautiful woman rushed out of the crowd and stood on the side of the road shouting at Kunbalangchai, Liang Hu definitely couldn't hear what she was saying, but found that Kunbalangchai's footsteps actually stopped, and turned his back to himself to talk to the woman. Of course, Liang Hu would not let go of such a good opportunity, he quickly aimed at the target and pressed his finger.
"Terminate! Terminate! Mission terminated!" The moment Liang Hu's fingers flicked, Li Zhize's hurried voice came from the headset on his head, it was impossible for him to stop his fingers, but he dispersed the aura of his fingertips at the last moment, so that although his fingers hit the golden button-shaped magic weapon, it did not stimulate the aura contained in it, and naturally he would not fire the golden projectile in the barrel.
"What's going on?" Liang Hu asked with a frown, just now as long as he reacted a thousandth of a second slower, the Magnetic Storm Rifle would turn the locked target into a pile of minced meat.
Li Zhize's voice in the headset did not appear for a long time, and after a long while, he spoke: "The target is a stand-in, it has been confirmed!"
"Stand-in?" Liang Hu was surprised by this word, he didn't seem to see any clues from the computer screen and bird-watching binoculars just now.
"Kun Ba Langchai is left-handed!" Li Zhize's voice carried a wry smile, and he explained, "Just now we arranged for a volunteer from a charitable foundation to contact him, and he raises $100,000 a year from this fund, which will not arouse any suspicion. It turned out that this person was signing with his right hand! Okay, the mission is over, and I'll pick you up right away. ”
Liang Hu shook his head and closed the window, since it was a stand-in, it meant that Kun Balangchai must have taken precautions, and there was no need for him to continue to wait. Liang Hu took the one-meter-long coil steel pipe from the gun, and then carefully put away the button-like magic weapon and golden projectile on the gun, he opened the box he carried and put the gun body and the barrel into it respectively, from the outside, he would not find any clues, but the box was very heavy, after all, the seamless steel pipe inside and the copper core wire wound on it were not light.
When Liang Hu came to the gate of the Express Hotel with his luggage, Li Zhize's car had just driven over and stopped, Liang Hu walked over and opened the back door and sat in, and Li Zhize immediately drove away in the direction away from the Angel Hotel. A few minutes after the car drove out, Li Zhize said: "Since the target used a stand-in to participate in this kind of activity, it shows that he is extremely distrustful of the outside environment, and the target has no arrangements to go out for a while in the next period of time, I am afraid that you will not have a chance to stay here again, why don't I send you back to China!"
Liang Hu didn't answer, but looked at the information provided by Li Zhize repeatedly with his head bored, and when he read the thick stack of papers three times in a row, an inconspicuous description caught his attention. Liang Hu carefully looked at the information he found, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he speak: "The target purchased a large cart of fireworks produced by the Celestial Empire a year ago?"
"Yes. Of course, Li Zhize still remembers the information he has gathered, and he replied without confirming: "He has a procurement plan for this every year, and there is nothing unusual about it." ”
"You say, what kind of fireworks are you watching in the room alone?" a smile appeared on the corner of Liang Hu's mouth.
"Are you saying that the target will definitely be watching in the open air......" Li Zhize immediately thought of this, but immediately objected, "But how can we approach the target under the protection of a large group of gunmen?"
"If you want to be poor, go to the next level!" Liang Hu replied meaningfully.
