476 The Murder in the Routine

Barney and the Trench hid on the top of the mountain and waited until after 2 pm before seeing a taxi coming up and leaving with Virgill.

Barney smiled and said to the trench, "It seems that this guy is really tired, and 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. At around 3 a.m. yesterday, they watched Vergil carry painted barrels and wooden boxes into the van from his home in Paris alone.

Then follow him all the way here.

Although I was worried about secret whistles or something, I didn't see Virgil bringing a bucket from the car into the mountaintop villa.

But the box truck didn't drive away, just because the people left, the things must be inside.

The Trench looked at Barney and asked, "Are we going to sneak in?"

Barney thought for a while, "Let's wait for someone else to come, so as not to touch the mechanism or alarm, and in the end it will fail."

"That's the best."

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

Only then did Li Changheng realize that his plan to oppress Vergil was really successful, while he was overjoyed, he thought about who was the best at sneaking in and opening a safe in his hands.

After thinking about it, the only one who is good at sneaking in is the female killer Catalia, but opening a vault should be the liar Alvin.

But the more people you know, the more unfavorable it is to keep confidential.

"Cut off the telephone line and power supply of that villa, can you remove the alarm system?"

Barney, holding the microphone, frowned and thought for a while before saying, "This has to be investigated first to prevent a generator in that villa."

After saying this, Barney shook his head, "It's not right. If no one takes care of the villa, the fuel generator can only respond to emergency responses and cannot last for ten days or half a month."

He frowned and said, "Can we think too much and make things complicated?"

And, let's not forget that Vergil didn't know he was being targeted.

So normally, if he really feels dangerous, since he has come to Zurich, it would be better to just hide the oil painting in UBS instead of the old villa with no neighbors around him."

Li Changheng patted his head, saying that there were too many calculating people and always thinking about others as cautious as himself.

Moreover, this era is not the future. After all, the most commonly used security measures is a vault with a high security factor, and there are also inconspicuous places where things are hidden.

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

Otherwise, even if the alarm sounded and the police drove over, the thief might have slipped away with his stuff long ago.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng said, "You guys go in and take a look tonight."

"I understand, boss."

At 1 o'clock that night that night, the two of them disguised themselves as circuit inspectors of the power bureau, and drove a van with bright yellow safety helmets on the shell of a car, sprayed paint and sprayed into the shape of a construction vehicle, and went straight to the mountain.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, and even those who lived in the mountains only saw a few households.

Moreover, because these villas need to protect privacy, they all have a winding path that lasts dozens or hundreds of meters before they can reach the villa.

This leads to the view of the villa on the road up the mountain or when looking at the road on the side of the villa, trees and so on.

Barney and the Trench really feel that they may have been overthinking.

After easily reaching the top of the mountain, the German-speaking trench took the information book and knocked on the door of the villa in a pretentious manner. After waiting for a while, it was confirmed that there was no one, and there was not even a sound at all. Then, he nodded to Barney.

The next thing is simple: climb over the wall, drive into the wall, and pry the door into the villa.

The two turned on the lights on the hard hats and checked in the villa with flashlights for more than two hours, but they didn't find any secret room or secret door.

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

That is to say, the entrance of the secret room will definitely not be difficult to walk. Otherwise, if we were correct yesterday, he would take one night and not sleep during the day and drive for 7 or 8 hours. How could he have so much physical strength to carry 68 painted buckets and boxes?"

Barney nodded in agreement, and his eyes swept through the wine cellar again.

Suddenly, "Lei, do you think the floor seems to have been cleaned?"

The trench immediately lowered its head, shining the flashlight around, and said in surprise, "Man, we are so stupid.

The villa has not been lived in for a long time, and Vergil must have known that he would leave footprints when walking around, so he cleaned it up after moving the oil paintings.

Then I was so tired that I didn’t even have the energy to drive the car, so I called a taxi back to Paris.”

Taking Barney out of the cellar first, the two of them just needed to eliminate the dusty rooms on the floor, and then illuminate the flashlight to the floor.

Soon, I found that in addition to my own footprints, I also found many faint footprints of third parties.

Needless to say, this must be Virgil's.

This old guy is indeed meticulous, but he may not be physically strong anymore, so he only cleaned it once, and many places were quite perfunctory, which left some footprints that were not completely cleaned.

"Here", the trench waved at Barney, lying directly on the ground, creeping forward with a flashlight on the floor.

After climbing for a few minutes, entering the kitchen on the first floor, the trench smiled and looked up and said to Barney, "The cleanest here is cleaned.

Not only are the footprints gone, but the dust is much less than other places.”

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

The cleaner the kitchen, the more it means that in Virgil's mind, it is also the most important here.

Even the place he cleaned at the beginning was here.

But after searching for several times, the two still didn't find a secret door there.

In the end, there was no way, Barney said to the trench, "Can it be that the secret room is not here, but the mechanism that opens the secret room is here?"

"Wait", a feeling of fear suddenly arose in the trench's heart.

He said in a hurry, "If it is really the same as you said, does that mean we have been tricked by that old man?"

Barney was stunned and saw the trench in panic and said, "God, if he had deliberately cleaned up here, would he say it?

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

And the real secret room will be crushed by a blown villa?”

"FK", Barney was shocked. Fortunately, he and the trench were all climbed out of the pile of dead people.

You won't easily move things that you don't know or understand.

"Have you touched something just now?"

The trench's eyes immediately looked at the cabinet, the stove was still the surrounding walls.
