After a night of bumpy speed, the car stopped at five o'clock in the morning.

The professor was leaning on the back seat and was catching up on sleep, when the car had just slowed down, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's time to stop and take a break." The messenger turned from the front row and asked, "Sir, would you like to get something to eat?" ”

The professor raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, looked at his subordinates who had not slept all night, hesitated for a few seconds and smiled, "You go to the convenience store next to you to buy some food and drinks for the brothers, so that everyone can rest." ”

The messenger nodded, got out of the car with an assistant, and headed for the convenience store next door.

The rest of the people also took the opportunity to get out of the car, move their stiff hands and feet, breathe in the fresh air, and at the same time refuel the car and check it.

The high tension and rush for a long time made them all tired, and it was rare to have a chance to breathe, so they naturally relaxed.

The messenger said a few words, walked into the convenience store next to him with his assistant, looked at the enthusiastic clerk and said, "Bring me thirty breads, thirty bottles of mineral water, and whether there is any hot coffee......

The clerk looked at the messenger with some astonishment, it was not yet dawn, the car for replenishment had not yet arrived, and there were not many supplies in the convenience store.

"Sorry sir, the bread hasn't been delivered today, and there is not much mineral water."

The messenger frowned, "What about instant noodles, give me as much as you have left, as well as mineral water." Is there any coffee? ”

"Only instant." The clerk responded with a smile, "There is still a place to cook it, do you need it?" ”

The messenger hesitated, but before he could speak, a group of people suddenly poured in from outside the convenience store.

The men, dressed in uniform black trench coats with almost identical cardigans and shirts underneath, rushed into the store shouting and began to shout.

"Quick, bring all the bread, mineral water, coffee!"

"Are there any instant noodles?"

"Do you have beer?"

"Whatever it is, eat and drink!"

"Bastard, when are you still thinking about drinking!"

Seeing so many people, the clerk was a little scrambling for a while, "I'm sorry, we don't have enough bread and water in our store." ”

"Convenience stores are out of stock? What other stores do you open? ”

"Hey, you're too perfunctory, don't you stock up in the morning?"

The clerk apologized in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, we'll arrange someone to pick up the goods, please wait a while." ”

"When?!"

These people complained that they were tired and hungry after a night's drive, and that they could endure it.

The clerk also complained bitterly, no one expected that so many people would come at five o'clock in the morning, and the two groups of people asked for a lot of goods

Seeing so many people squeezed into the small convenience store, the messenger pulled his assistant and slowly retreated into the corner, frowning, instinctively feeling that something was wrong with these people.

In the next second, several people in trench coats walked in with a middle-aged man in their arms.

The others hurriedly put down the things in their hands and bowed to the middle-aged man together, "Section Chief Takahashi." ”

Section Chief Takahashi reprimanded with a straight face: "What does the mess look like, don't lose the face of our Metropolitan Police Department!" ”

"Hello!"

"Let's all cheer up, tidy up, we'll rest in Osaka today and set off tomorrow."

"Hello!"

When the messenger heard the three words of the Metropolitan Police Department, his heart sank, and the assistant next to him slammed into the shelf next to him in a panic, making a noise, and his face turned white with fright.

Fortunately, the messenger was calmer, pulled his assistant to bow his head and sort out the scattered goods on the shelves, and then slowly pretended to be casual and prepared to go out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the clerk hurriedly shouted, "Sir, your things." ”

At this call, everyone in the store turned their eyes to the messenger and his assistant at the door.

The messenger reacted very quickly, and hurriedly said: "No need, let's give them these things, they need them more than me." ”

The people in the surrounding Metropolitan Police Department immediately smiled, and a few of them thanked the messenger perfunctorily, and reached out to ask the clerk for something.

Takahashi frowned and reprimanded, "Stop, what do you guys look like?" ”

As he spoke, he took the wrapped bag from the clerk and turned to hand it to the messenger, "Thank you for your kindness, let's wait." ”

The messenger was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly saw Takahashi's eyes looking at him, and he immediately changed his words, "Thank you very much!" ”

"Are you going to Osaka too?" Takahashi asked casually.

"No, we just came out of Osaka." The messenger replied, "We are all from Shikoku and are going to Kyoto. ”

"Oh, then you're on the wrong path, this road is going to Nara, and you're going to Kyoto on another road."

The messenger was slightly stunned, pretending to be annoyed, "That's right, thank you, we almost went far away, it's the first time we've been here, thank you for your advice." ”

After saying that, he thanked him solemnly, turned around and walked out of the convenience store.

Takahashi had been standing in the doorway, watching the messenger walk towards the convoy, staring at them with a blank face.

……

As soon as he got into the car, the messenger gave a detailed report on what had just happened.

After speaking, everyone in the carriage was silent, and some people subconsciously took out their guns.

"Put the gun away." The professor sternly reprimanded, "Don't panic, we didn't expose it, otherwise it would not be plainclothes coming, but a special emergency attack unit." ”

The people in the car calmed down a little, but the uneasy atmosphere was still spreading.

The messenger looked at the professor with a gloomy face, "The convenience store is full of plainclothes from the Metropolitan Police Department, and it looks like they just came from Tokyo, what should we do?" ”

One assistant suggested, "We can't go to Kobe, so let's turn around and go back to Tokyo first." ”

"No, can't go back." The professor said categorically, "We don't know what the situation is in Tokyo right now, and it's easy to get out of danger if you run headlong into it." ”

"What's more, the messenger just told them that we are going to Kyoto, and at this time, we have to pass through Nara to turn around and return to Tokyo, and we will be exposed immediately." The professor had a calm face, "The bureaucrats of the Metropolitan Police Department are not fools, they can detect the problem immediately. ”

"So what do we do?" The messenger asked, "These people from the Metropolitan Police Department must have also gone to Kobe, otherwise there would be such a coincidence." ”

"Let's move on, let's go to Kobe." The professor calmly said, "They're going to fix up in Osaka for a day, and we'll get to Kobe before they do, and there's at least one day left, which is enough time for us to complete the deal and leave Toei." ”

The messenger took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay." ”

The professor knew he was taking a risk, but he had no choice.

The nuclear raw material he is holding in his hand is a hot potato, and he must hurry up.

And he has already agreed with the buyer, the buyer has paid the deposit, and his failure to go is equivalent to breaking the contract.

He can't afford to offend this buyer.

What's more, the Metropolitan Police Department is also rushing to Kobe, and if the buyer finds out about this situation, they will think that the professor betrayed them, and the trouble after that will not be so easy to settle.

Now, you can't give up halfway, you have to rush to Kobe to complete the transaction before the plainclothes from the Metropolitan Police Department arrive, and then get the money and run away.
