Chapter 39: First Order (Part 2)
The front desk staff signaled Liang Xi to come in. Liang Xi went from the side door to the battery car parking lot, where a special beautiful lady taught him how to use the battery car. A few minutes later, Liang Xi drove the battery car to Villa 19. A security battery car followed and escorted Liang Xi to the fork road of Villa 19 before returning.
Villa No. 19 is a low-priced villa with a daily rental of 350 pounds. The environment is naturally far inferior to the villa rented by the nickname Piaomiao. Although it is small and has only one floor, it still has an outdoor private swimming pool and enough private space.
On the way to the villa, Liang Xi was still regretting his promise to Wendy. He didn't know what was wrong with him, to actually agree to let a little girl go to the villa village to see her cousin. Perhaps it was Wendy's desire for her birthday that touched Liang Xi, or Wendy's cuteness made Liang Xi impulsive. In any case, since he had received 20 pounds, he had to complete this losing deal.
After Liang Xi washed his face in Villa No. 19, he set off for Villa No. 11, the villa rented by Piao Miao. Villa No. 11 was an expensive villa equipped with a yacht and a private garden, and its location was more secretive. The night also made the road more difficult, but as a former member of the theft gang, Liang Xi was more accustomed to working at night, and the night was like a natural protective color for criminals.
The security of the villa village was tight on the outside but loose on the inside. Liang Xi had to spend money to rent a villa to enter the villa village because he was not familiar with the layout and security system of the villa village. Even so, he was treated as a security guard who accompanied him to his destination.
Liang Xi opened the map on his phone, which was a civilian satellite map. Relying on his memory of driving the electric car to Villa No. 19, Liang Xi easily locked the location of Villa No. 11 from the fork in the road of Villa No. 11. Liang Xi passed the buildings shown on the map and did not take the brightly lit road, but went around the green belt to Villa No. 11.
In order to protect privacy, a certain degree of security must be sacrificed, as outdoor cameras are scarce. Liang Xi spent 15 minutes walking in the dark to Villa No. 11 while looking for cameras and avoiding alarms. The next step was to knock on the door of Villa No. 11, convey Wendy's words, go back to sleep, and return to London the next day.
But what surprised Liang Xi was that surveillance cameras were installed at the gate of Villa No. 11 and the gate of the main building. Liang Xi passed by Villa No. 10, which was of the same level as Villa No. 11, and Liang Xi did not find any surveillance cameras. What made Liang Xi even more suspicious was that this was not a fixed surveillance camera, but a small surveillance camera that relied on wireless signal transmission and was easy to disassemble. The two surveillance cameras completely covered the only road leading to the villa.
What Liang Xi didn't expect was that Karin, who was wearing a death mask, carrying cable tie handcuffs and anesthesia needles, followed him. Karin originally wanted to get the job done on the 19th, but she didn't expect Liang Xi to go out the back door as soon as she entered the house, so she could only follow him silently.
Liang Xi walked around the house at the edge of the green belt, and when he turned to the lakeside, he saw the people inside through the large French window on the first floor. The curtain of the French window was opened a corner. Through this corner, Liang Xi saw from the side that Wendy's cousin was tied to the sofa in a swimsuit. She had tape , an earmuff on her eyes, and her hands were behind her back.
Wow! Piaomiao is really good at playing!
Well, it's not that Piaomiao knows how to play. With the detective's keen observation, Liang Xi believes that Wendy's cousin has been kidnapped. A black-robed man wearing a ski cap and holding a pistol in his left hand appeared. The black-robed man stepped forward and slapped Wendy's cousin hard. Wendy's cousin was knocked to the ground. The black-robed man grabbed Wendy's cousin by the neck and lifted her up to the sofa and put her down. Then the black-robed man looked to the other side, as if threatening the person next to him. A typical case of killing a chicken to scare the monkey, and Wendy's cousin was the unlucky chicken.
Due to the soundproofing of the villa, Liang Xi could not hear any sound from inside, so he began to think about how to deal with it. Call the police, but it would take at least 20 minutes for the police to arrive. If there were not enough people, it would not be effective. If there were too many people, they might be discovered before they even entered the house. The criminals were in a very advantageous position. After discovering the police, he could directly shoot the hostages and leave by the lake through the back door in a speedboat. It was dark, and it was difficult to effectively intercept them.
From the details that the criminal grabbed Wendy's cousin's neck and pulled her back to the sofa, we can infer that the criminal was cold-blooded and decisive. For example, Liang Xi had to consider where to put his hands when helping a girl who fell. There are alarms installed in each villa. The criminals did not trigger the alarm, which shows that the criminals are very professional or well prepared. Therefore, calling the police and seeking help from security guards are very bad ways. Even worse is to rush in by yourself.
Liang Xi thought that the criminals would not kill Wendy for a while, because there was still plenty of time. Of course, if the criminals killed someone right away, Liang Xi would not sacrifice himself to knock on the door. Liang Xi had a plan in mind and slowly retreated.
Liang Xi retreated, and Karin had to retreat as well. She saw Liang Xi making a phone call, but Liang Xi spoke in a low voice and it was impossible to read lips at night, so she didn't know who Liang Xi was calling.
"Hello!"
Liang Xi kept looking at Villa No. 11 and asked in a low voice: "Blond Man?"
Bobby immediately cursed: "XXX." After meeting Liang Xi, the total number of curse words he cursed exceeded the total number of curse words he had cursed in the past 23 years.
Liang Xi patiently listened to Bobby's long sentence that made him want to stuff his head into his intestines, and asked, "Is your bodyguard awesome?"
Bobby was stunned for a moment, then answered confidently, "Super cool."
Liang Xi asked: "Is your lawyer good?"
Bobby replied: "Super cool."
Liang Xi: "Do you have many helicopters?"
Bobby: "As many as you want."
Liang Xi: "A woman was held captive in a holiday villa by criminals who at least had a pistol. If I called the police, the hostage would probably die."
Bobby asked, "And then?"
Liang Xi: "The world needs a blond warrior."
Bobby asked, "You mean I should have my bodyguards raid the villa?"
Liang Xi: “That’s what I mean.”
Bobby: "I'm going to get in trouble."
Liang Xi: "You have a mental illness and a super lawyer, who are you afraid of?"
Bobby hesitated: "This..."
Liang Xi: "Poppy, it's time to let the people of London know about the existence of the Blond Man."
Bobby asked, "Are you sure there are hostages inside? Are there criminals?"
Liang Xi: "Am I the kind of person who would make such a joke?"
Bobby asked after a long while, "What's the plan?"
Liang Xi said: "Helicopter raid, attack the villa."
Bobby was mad: "I hired bodyguards, not special forces."
Liang Xi asked: "Then the blond warrior can only mourn for the victims through tomorrow's newspaper. While mourning, remember: you could have saved them."
Bobby was silent for a long time. "If you lie to me, I will really put your head in the toilet and put a mop through your ass."
Liang Xi: "If you keep talking nonsense, the Blond Man will become the Corpse Collector."
Bobby: "Liang Xi, I'm not mentally prepared. Let me think about it."
"If you do it, I'll wait here. If you don't, I'll call the police and go back to sleep, and get up tomorrow morning to watch the fun. Fengliang, give me an answer quickly."
One dares to speak, the other dares to act, these are young people, with a hint of 2B vibe and a desire to stir up trouble in their self-confidence.
