Chapter 476: Murder in the routine

  Chapter 476 Murder in the routine

  Barney and the trenches hid on the top of the mountain. They waited until after 2 o'clock in the afternoon before they saw a taxi coming up and taking Virgil away.

  Barney smiled and said to the trench, "It seems that this guy is really tired. He doesn't even have the strength to drive back to Paris."

  The trench shrugged, "At least we can be sure now that the oil painting is in this villa."

  Barney nodded. The two of them watched Vergil carry the painting barrels and wooden boxes into the small car alone from their home in Paris at 3 o'clock in the morning yesterday.

   Then follow him all the way to here.

  Although she was worried about having a secret whistle or something, she didn’t see Virgil carrying the painting bucket from the car into the villa on the top of the mountain.

  But the box truck didn't drive away. It's just that people left, and things must be right inside.

   Looking at Barney in the trenches and asked, "Should we sneak in, or tell Henry the news and let him find a professional person to do the infiltration?"

  Barney thought for a while, “Let’s wait for others to come, so as not to touch the organs or alarms, and ultimately fail.”

   "That's the best."

  The two went all the way down the mountain, drove to find a phone booth, and notified Li Changheng of the news.

  It was only then that he knew his plan to oppress Virgil. Li Changheng, who had really succeeded, was overjoyed in his heart while thinking about who was best at sneaking in and opening a safe.

  After thinking about it, the female killer Catalia who is good at sneaking in is the female killer, but Ivan the liar should be the best at opening the vault.

  The more people you can know, the more detrimental it is to confidentiality.

   "If you cut off the telephone line and power supply of that villa, will the alarm system be cancelled?"

   Holding the microphone, Barney frowned and thought for a while before saying, “This has to be checked first to prevent the generator from being in the villa.”

  After saying this, Barney shook his head himself, “It’s not right. If there is no one in the villa to look after, the fuel generator can only be used for emergency, and it cannot last for ten days or half a month.”

   He listened to the trench with his ears sideways, and said with a frown, "Could it be that we think too much by ourselves and make things complicated?"

  Also, let’s not forget, Virgil didn’t even know that he was being targeted.

  So normally, if he really feels dangerous, then since he has come to Zurich, he might as well just hide the oil painting in UBS instead of the old-fashioned villa with no neighbors around. "

  Li Changheng patted his head. This is because there are too many calculations, and he always thinks of others as cautious as himself.

  And this era is not the future. In terms of security measures, the most commonly used is a vault with a high security coefficient, and the place to hide things is inconspicuous.

  Otherwise, if you find someone to install the latest alarm system, it would be better to hide those oil paintings in the downtown area.

  Otherwise, even if the alarm goes off, when the police drove over, the thief might have slipped away with something.

  Thinking of this, Li Changheng opened his mouth and said, "You guys go and have a look first tonight."

   "Understand, BOSS."

  At 1 o'clock in the evening that night, the two men disguised themselves as line inspectors of the power station this time, wearing bright yellow helmets, driving a van painted on the shell of a construction vehicle, and went straight up the mountain.

  I didn't meet anyone along the way, let alone those who live on the mountain, only saw a few households.

  Because these villas want to protect their privacy, there is a small road winding tens or hundreds of meters before they reach the villa.

  This causes trees to block the view when looking at the villa on the main road up the mountain, or when looking at the road from the villa.

  Barney and Trench, this time I really feel that they may think too much.

   Easily came to the top of the mountain. The German-speaking trench took the book and knocked on the door of the villa. After waiting for a long time, it was confirmed that there was no one, and there was no sound. Then he nodded to Barney.

  The next step is simple, overturn the wall, drive the car into the wall, and pry the door into the villa.

  The two turned on the lights on the helmets, and they checked the villa for more than two hours with flashlights in their hands, but they didn't find any secret rooms or secret doors.

   Standing in the wine cellar, the trench frowned and said, "This is not right, Virgil's hair is already gray.

In other words, the entrance of the secret room will not be difficult to walk, otherwise, if we didn’t make a mistake yesterday, we took a man who didn’t sleep during the day and drove for 7 or 8 hours. Where is there so much physical strength to carry 68 painting barrels? And the box? "

  Barney nodded in agreement, and scanned the wine cellar again.

   said suddenly, "Lei, do you think the floor seems to have been swept?"

  The trench immediately lowered his head, flashing the flashlight everywhere, and said in surprise, "Man, we are both stupid.

  The villa was unoccupied for a long time. Virgil must know that he would leave footprints when he walked around, so he cleaned it after moving the oil paintings.

  This was tired and didn't even have the energy to drive the car, so he called a taxi back to Paris. "

  Take Barney out of the wine cellar first. The two only need to eliminate the dusty rooms on the floor, and then illuminate the floor with the flashlight diagonally.

   soon discovered that in addition to his own footprints, he also found a lot of faint third-party footprints.

   Needless to say, this must be Virgil’s.

  This old guy is really thoughtful, but he may be really weak, so he only cleaned it once, and many places were quite perfunctory, which left some footprints that were not completely cleaned.

  “This way”, the trenches beckoned to Barney, and he lay directly on the ground, shining a flashlight on the floor while advancing on his stomach.

   After climbing for a few minutes, after entering the kitchen on the first floor, he smiled at the corner of his mouth in the trenches, raised his head and said to Barney, "The cleanest cleaning here.

  Not only the footprints are gone, the dust is also much less than in other places. "

  Barney reacted immediately without guessing. Normally, a person's subconscious will do things that he hasn't noticed.

  The cleaner the kitchen is cleaned, the more it shows that in Virgil's heart, this is also the most important.

  Even the place he cleaned at first, this is here.

  But the two of them searched for several times, but they still didn't find a secret door there.

  In the end, there is no way~lightnovelpub.net~ Barney said to the trench, "Could it be that the secret room is not here, but the mechanism that opened the secret room is here?"

   "Wait", a sense of fear suddenly floated in the trench.

   said anxiously, "If it's the same as what you said, does that mean that we have been tricked by the old man?"

  Barney was taken aback, and he saw the trench panic and said, "God, if he cleaned this place deliberately, did that mean?

  Once we move something that looks like a secret room, it is likely to cause danger and even detonate this villa.

  And the real secret room, will the bombed villa be crushed underneath? "

  "FK", Barney was shocked. Fortunately, both himself and the trenches crawled out of the dead.

  Easy not to touch things that are unfamiliar and unknowable.

  "Have you touched anything just now?"

  The gaze of the trench immediately looked at the cabinet, the stove was still the surrounding wall.

   Then said to Barney, "How about you?"
