While the professor and Sister La's were circling around the restaurant.

Eddie, who was inside the mint, was watching TV.

When Francis succeeded to the presidency and appointed Doug as vice president, Eddie's face was full of complexity.

The current situation is exactly the same as Du Wei had predicted a month ago.

This ability to predict the future is something that Eddie is proud of.

Eddie, who originally thought that the difference between him and Du Wei was only a little difference in intelligence, now realized that the two were not separated by a thin line, but by the abyss.

Eddie sighed softly, completely putting away those thoughts that shouldn't have been.

Eddie then put on the funny Dali mask and re-infiltrated the hostage.

Arturo, who thought he had just returned from going to the toilet, suddenly bumped Eddie with his elbow, and then whispered:

"Lord Mayor, these robbers have us digging holes in Vault One, apparently preparing to escape from there.

And I found a lot of explosives there, and they were afraid they were going to bury us all alive.

I think we need to come up with a plan for the escape in advance!

Not only did I contact the mint's security team while you weren't there, but I also secretly observed the robbers.

I can tell from their different heights and postures that there are eight robbers here.

Eight people can't actually take care of so many of our hostages, the only problem is that all the entrances and exits are already guarded by them.

So if we want to escape, we have to work together to take a robber hostage.

As for weapons, I took a lot of sharp tools while digging holes and hid them in the tank of the flush toilet.

This will be the key to our turnaround!

In addition, I observed that there were two women among the robbers, and one of them was Nairobi, who supervised our three shifts of money printing!

And there are as many as twenty hostages she needs to manage at each shift change, and her partner is looking at the door of the banknote printing workshop at this time.

Therefore, as long as we work together at that time, we will definitely be able to control it and form a self-help!"

Listening to Arturo reveal his plan in its entirety, Eddie, who owns NZT, instantly had a suitable plan in his mind.

Countering Arturo's escape plan, of course.

But because of his apparent identity, Eddie could only cooperate with the acting to raise several key questions.

And Arturo, who had already dealt with this, naturally said it like a treasure.

Looking at Arturo's look of praise on his face, Eddie smiled and said:

"Manager Arturo, if this happens, you will be a hero to all."

Arturo, who was praised in his heart, was overjoyed, but he still excused himself:

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, mayor, you put yourself in danger, and exchanging your body for hostages is what a hero does."

After a commercial blow, Arturo and Eddie agreed on a time to do it, and they were dragged by Moscow to continue working as coolies digging tunnels.

Eddie chuckled as he looked at Arturo's distant back, Arturo was worthy of being the manager of the mint, and he had a strong ability to read words and colors.

To be honest, if Eddie hadn't learned about this opportunity, I'm afraid Arturo would have been able to incite a lot of hostages to escape.

But now Arturo has no chance.

And the information Arturo obtained was incomplete.

For example, there are not eight robbers here, but only seven, and Arturo will make a mistake because Uncle Punishment and Xiao have swapped.

Another example is that the real passage for the robbers to escape is located in Vault 3, and the hostages digging the tunnel are purely to hide people's eyes.

Otherwise, it will be completely relied on the crooked melons and cracked dates, and two or three hostages will be dug up, and I am afraid that there will be no results in ten days and half a month.

After all, the floor of the mint with special composition is not easy to handle without a hot melt spray gun.

But the negligence of the robbers did give the hostages a little bit of an opportunity.

Just as Eddie thought

When I told Berlin about this, Arturo, who had just been called away, was carried back by Uncle Punishment.

Uncle Punishment's empty other hand held a lot of miscellaneous tools.

It depends on the situation, it is the sharp tool that Arturo hid in the flush toilet!

Eddie's pupils shrank suddenly, this wasn't him informing, he hadn't had time to inform.

Then Uncle Punishment will find that there is only one possibility for Arturo's small movements, that is, he was reminded by Du Wei in advance.

Did Du Weilian guess this too?

Is Du Wei still human?

Eddie couldn't figure out how Dewey figured out that Arturo would hide the tools.

This conclusion is not possible unless Du Wei has done a personality analysis of everyone present, including the robbers.

Is Eddie really curious about what exactly is in Dewey's brain?

Is there really a tumor in Du Wei's brain? Even if it's a quantum computer.

Arturo didn't expect that he had just told Mayor Eddie all about his plan, and in the blink of an eye, he was arrested.

And Eddie, who is still standing in place, is obviously not the target of the informant, could it be that there is a ghost in the security team?

But before he could think about it, the robbers' punishment came.

Due to the professor's non-murder order, although Berlin cannot kill people, he still has a way to torture people.

He hung Arturo's clothes from the chandelier in the middle of the Mint Hall, and then pulled out his belt, leaving several hot whip marks in Arturo's pig-killing cry.

Then he poured salt water on Arturo, who lost his voice instantly.

This appearance immediately frightened the hostages, which seemed to them worse than death.

After all, death is a momentary thing, but torture is very long-lasting.

Berlin was pleased with the horrified faces of the hostages, so that the restless minds of the hostages could be calmed for a long time.

And they need at most another day to get back with a full load.

Of course, this robbery of the mint will also be one of the greatest heisties in the history of robbery!

……

Inside the white walls.

When the newly inaugurated Francis returned to the president's office, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a solemn one.

Because the mess left by Walker is not easy for him to solve either.

The first is the turmoil caused by the robbery of the National Mint in Washington.

He asked Eddie to solve the robbery, but he didn't expect this guy to come up with a operation to exchange himself for hostages.

From a political point of view, Eddie's approach is good for himself, but it also comes with considerable risks.

After all, the robbers are not his family, and if they don't get it right, they will tear up the tickets.

But from the president's position, Eddie's move is a big one, and it has put countless pressures on their officials in Washington.

In addition, Billy, the detective killer who is still on the run, is also nowhere to be seen.

Coupled with the fact that Bob, the original backstabber, was also missing, Francis only felt that one head was three big.

He had no idea when everything had spiraled out of control.

And just now, he received a call from the Planetary Defense Coordination Office, and he learned that Walker had been hiding an important fact.

That is, above their heads, there is a comet that is enough to destroy the vast majority of humanity and is speeding towards the blue star!

All these things added up, and Francis only felt that he was overwhelmed by a boulder in his heart.

Not to mention that he also wants to cancel the bill proposed by former President Walker - the human eradication plan.

This would mean that he had declared war head-on with the Syndicate, the force behind Walker.

Francis had already heard of the methods of those people.

In other words, his personal safety will be greatly tested.

One

If you don't get it right, maybe he, the president who has been in office for less than two days, will have to go to God.

Under the weight of the layers, Francis's brow furrowed, and the key point was that he still smelled a hint of wine.

This made him feel depressed and had nowhere to vent, he grabbed the collar of the newly appointed Vice President Doug next to him and roared angrily:

"Doug, do you know it's Inauguration Day?

You're still drinking?!

Did I tell you not to touch that wine that will kill you again!

Sober me up?! I need someone to share my stress now!

And not a drunkard drinking next to me!"

Hearing Francis's roar, Doug's face was visibly stunned.

In his impression, Francis rarely showed such gaffes.

In the past, Francis was always in a state of strategic planning, and it seemed that everything was going according to his plan.

But Francis's performance at the moment actually sends a bad signal.

That's when things are getting out of Francis' control!

Realizing this, Doug immediately slapped his face hard, making his spirits slightly better after drinking.

He exhaled a long breath full of wine, and then said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Francis.

You know, I'm trying my best to quit drinking.

But this thing really doesn't mean to quit, and it's worse for me not to drink it than if I can't breathe.

But even so, I think I can take a lot of the pressure off of you.

I know you've been worrying about the Mint, but there's a way to take the pressure off public opinion.

That's me going in as vice president to exchange hostages!"

Hearing Doug's words, Francis looked at him for a long time, and after making sure that he was not in a drunken state, he spoke:

"Are you sure? The robbers have not killed anyone until now.

But the more this happens, the more dangerous it is.

They were not unorganized and undisciplined street bandits, but premeditated robberies.

So when they fled, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't kill everyone to cut off the clues.

Are you still willing to go in and change hostages in this case?"

Doug nodded in confirmation:

"Of course, Francis, I said I'd take the pressure off for you.

I'm glad you promoted me to vice president.

Now it's time for me to do something for you."

After receiving Doug's confirmation, Francis's eyes were filled with relief.

If Doug is really willing to exchange hostages, then he can shut everyone's mouths.

After all, this is the vice president of a beautiful country!

It stands to reason that he is worth far more than the insignificant hostages in the Mint!

Just as Francis was about to speak again, his words were suddenly interrupted by a rapid knock on the door of the president's office.

Francis's brows furrowed, and he said with some dissatisfaction:

"Didn't I say there was no urgency for them not to bother me?

I don't believe there's anything urgent going on in Washington, D.C., which is now in a mess."

Doug smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I'll open the door.

If it's a little thing that bothers you, then I think you can clean the inside and outside of the white walls."

Seeing that Doug was about to open the door, Francis suddenly opened the drawer, took out a pistol from the compartment, handed it to him, and said:

"Just in case."

Doug nodded, took the pistol, put his hand behind his back, and opened the door.

Standing behind the door was not the syndicate killer Francis's expected, but a former presidential aide with black-rimmed glasses.

At this moment, the female assistant saw Doug who opened the door, and a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes.

Just the way

When Ger was inexplicable, the female assistant crossed Doug and put the tablet in his arms on Francis's table and said:

"Mr. President, I think you need to take a look at this."

Francis took the tablet with a look of disbelief and found that the interface on the screen was a video.

Looking at the dimly lit environment and the low resolution of the picture quality, this video is more like someone secretly filmed.

Francis tapped the play button, and an unbearable sound of Yin was immediately heard from the speaker.

And the man's voice was very familiar to Francis.

As the positions of the two on the bed changed, Francis finally saw the man's face clearly, and this sight made his pupils shrink suddenly.

That man turned out to be his right-hand man, Doug, the new vice president of the beautiful country!

Francis looked at Doug with a surprised face, knowing that Doug has a family and a family, except for the problem of alcoholism, how can he be considered a good man.

How could he do such a dishonoring thing?

Is it because you drank too much?

Or was it designed?

Francis didn't explain anything to Doug, who gave him a questioning look, and he continued to look down his head in an attempt to find more clues from the video.

However, the more he watched this video, the more frightened he became.

Judging from the picture, the woman who was entangled with Doug belonged to the kind that didn't have any hair, and Doug treated her very roughly.

If this video is seen by feminist organizations, Doug may not be able to keep his position as vice president.

Just when Francis thought that there was enough fierce material in the video, at the end of the video, there was a scene of the two of them sprinkling unknown powder on each other's bodies and licking them.

And the two of them didn't seem to be satisfied with this usage, and later melted it into a liquid and injected it into a syringe for injection!

That's when Francis noticed that even though the video was of poor quality, he could see that the girl had a dense needle hole on her arm!

This kind of operation can only happen to one kind of person - addicts!

Seeing this, Francis closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then walked quickly to Doug's side and pulled down his sleeve.

At this moment, there is a healing needle eye in Doug's arm!

Seeing this needle eye, Francis had only one thought in his mind.

Doug, it's over.

His vice president, gone!
