Chapter 138: The Flying Thief
Late at night, a sedan stopped at the intersection near Donghua Building. There were three people in the car. Fang Hua was driving, and Wu Tian and Liu Min sat in the back row. Compared to Fang Hua's bright clothes, Wu Tian and Liu Min's clothes were much more monotonous. The black tight-fitting clothes made them look like flying thieves in a martial arts movie.
However, the two of them are indeed going to do some thieving tonight!
Jingyun did not follow them. She stayed in the Intelligence Department of Tianzheng Building, responsible for providing information inside Donghua Building to Wu Tian and Liu Min.
"Are you ready?" Fang Hua turned his head and asked Wu Tian.
Tonight's matter is quite dangerous, actually it can't be said to be dangerous, after all, it won't threaten their lives. The key is that if they get caught, it would be too embarrassing, even for someone like Wu Tian with a thick skin, he would feel ashamed, so we need to be extra careful.
"Alright, I'm ready." Wu Tian replied, still confident in his own abilities. As a child, he often played "war" and "anti-terrorism" games with Hao Jun in the military district, climbing buildings and jumping through windows were nothing new to him. Wu Tian looked at Liu Min beside him and asked, "Shall we go?"
"Have you memorized all the plans?" Liu Min asked. She had been to the Intelligence Department before... now it can be called the Combat Command Center. Inside the Combat Command Center, a detailed combat plan was designed, and this combat plan contained three schemes, which would be chosen according to different environments at that time. Of course, the plan couldn't change quickly, she couldn't plan everything that happened, she wasn't God, and wouldn't say what would happen if it did, she could only set a few major directions in advance, as for how to do it specifically, it still depended on her and Wu Tian's performance.
"It was already in my mind." Wu Tian said after hearing, then stretched out his hand, "Besides, there's this too?" After finishing speaking, Wu Tian put on the wireless earphones.
"Alright, let's go." Fang Hua also put on his headphones and carried a black backpack as he got off the car.
"Be careful." Fang Hua said to Wu Tian, then kissed his forehead, as a blessing. Wu Tian nodded and got out of the car with his bag.
Wu Tian and Liu Min walked along the road with their backpacks on towards Donghua Building.
Donghua Building and Tianzheng Building are a bit different. Because the construction of Wanjing Building was earlier, this generation was not yet developed at that time, and the land price was not as expensive as it is now, so Wanjing occupied a large piece of land at the beginning. When Wanjing Building was under construction, there were fences around it, with a big courtyard. In contrast, when Donghua Building was under construction, the land price on this side had already risen, and the road planning had been determined, so it could only be built along the roadside like other high-rise buildings in the city center. The advantage of this is that it's eye-catching, but the disadvantage is that Wu Tian and Liu Min will find it harder to get in.
But this is all part of the plan.
The Donghua Building is surrounded by surveillance cameras, and according to the information stolen from Donghua, there are eight in total. After repeated research, Liu Min found a blind spot among these eight surveillance cameras. When the two arrived at this blind spot, Liu Min started climbing up with his bare hands.
The twelve zodiac signs all originated from the military district, and apart from their extraordinary ability to gather intelligence, they are also skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Although not as agile as Spiderman, who can climb to the top floor with ease, climbing five or six floors is still no problem for them.
Wu Tiang was just about to climb up, when he looked up and saw Fang Hua already on the third floor, stopping at a window. She skillfully pulled out a tool from her backpack, pried open the window with it, and slipped inside. The whole process took less than half a minute, swift and agile.
Wu Tian originally wanted to show off in front of Liu Min, trying to get her to join his company permanently. Now it seems that the difficulty is a bit high, conquering such a woman is too hard. However, Wu Tian didn't give up either, crawling to the third floor and flipping through quickly, using a relatively short amount of time, but still falling short compared to Liu Min.
All of this was planned ahead of time, including the blind spot of the monitor, and crawling to the third floor is a bathroom, and it's even a women's bathroom.
Wu Tian wasn't the first time entering a women's restroom, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Wu Tian and Liu Min took out white coats from their backpacks and put them on, as well as masks and hats, which they all wore properly.
Just then, a loud noise came from outside the window.
"Bang!"
At the entrance of Donghua Building, a car drove onto the sidewalk and crashed into the wall of Donghua Building. Then three drunk men got out of the car, shouting loudly on the street, constantly spitting out foul language from their mouths.
The main entrance of Donghua Building opened immediately, and two security guards walked out from inside. The drunkard and the security guard immediately quarreled, and several more security guards came out from inside the building.
"Let's go!" Liu Min said to Wu Tian, then opened the bathroom door and walked out.
That was arranged by Fang Hua, in order to shift the attention of Donghua's security guards from the monitor to the drunkard outside.
Each floor of the Donghua Building has a monitor, but compared to the monitors inside Wu Tian's Tianzheng Building, they are far inferior in both quantity and quality. Wu Tian and Liu Min tried to stick to the wall and walk along the blind spot of the monitor's shooting angle. When they really couldn't avoid it, Wu Tian and Fang Hua would openly walk past, creating the illusion that R&D personnel were passing by.
A drunkard refused to leave outside the Donghua Building, first arguing with the security guard, then lying down in front of the building's entrance to sleep. Another took off his shirt and exposed his chest, while another went to the wall of the building and urinated after pulling down his pants. The security guard rushed forward to stop him when he saw this, but the drunkard turned around and urinated towards people, also "flicking" his penis at the security guard. The security guard was helpless and could only watch anxiously. The head of the security team directly dialed 110.
While fooling around outside, Wu Tian and Liu Min had already arrived at the highest level, Zhuo Wenjun's office. Although he had been in contact with Zhuo Wenjun for a long time, Wu Tian was still visiting here for the first time and felt very novel. Of course, this is not the time to appreciate it, so hurry up and find the diary in the office.
Zhuo Wenjun's office seems simple, but it's actually very complicated. There are many plants here, and I don't know if Zhuo Wenjun will hide his diary in a flower pot. The furniture here is also very strange, all of which are the most old-fashioned style, so old that they need to be traced back to hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and it's not clear whether these pieces of furniture are antiques or designed by Zhuo Wenjun himself.
At the same time, this is also a complex mechanism. Many of the cabinet locks are connected by rings or puzzles, similar to a sliding puzzle, and can only be opened after solving the puzzle. Moreover, each cabinet's puzzle is different, with different positions for the puzzle pieces, and even the number of pieces varies. The simplest one is 4x4, while the most difficult one is 8x8. So, at first glance, it just looks like a simple cabinet, but opening it is not an easy task. These are all things that can't be found in the data, so we have to slowly solve the puzzle. We can't just smash it, right? Who knows what mechanism might be inside the cabinet. If it's like those martial arts stories where there's a hidden needle or something, Wu Tian would be done for and thoroughly defeated.
I don't know what Zhuo Wenjun is thinking, he actually set up such a mechanism, and doesn't even think it's troublesome.
How cunning!
Wu Tian and Liu Min took a photo of the map with their mobile phone and sent it to Jingyun, letting Jingyun and the people in the command center crack it, while they two went to find other places in the office.
Zhuo Wenjun's office is very large, even larger than Wu Tian's current office. In addition to the office, there is also a door leading to the adjacent rest room. When Wu Tian opened it and looked inside, he was helpless again. The cabinets and drawers here are still puzzle-locked.
The combat command center also has some puzzle masters, during Wu Tian and Liu Min's search, there are constantly broken graphs coming over, with detailed steps inside. However, they are all patterns with fewer blocks. As for those with more blocks, research is still ongoing.
Wu Tian opened four cabinets and drawers one after another, but found no mechanism like the "Ba Yu Li Hua Zhen" (Violent Rain Pear Flower Needle), only some ordinary files and books. He did not find Professor Huo Zhenlin's diary.
After searching for half an hour in Zhuo Wenjun's office, nothing was found, and there were still five puzzles that had not been solved.
It has to be said that this thing is much safer than electronic locks, insurance locks and the like. Electronic locks can be cracked with instruments, and old hands can open insurance locks with their ears and universal keys. Only this puzzle lock relies on IQ. Without damaging the cabinet structure, it's really harder to open than electronic locks and insurance locks.
This is the wisdom of the ancients!
Modern people rely too heavily on tools and have gradually lost their ability to think and imagine, the skilled craftsmen of ancient times were more formidable!
I also don't know how Zhuo Wenjun came up with such a 'despicable trick'!
Time was ticking away, and the combat command center had already opened two more, with three puzzle pieces still unopened. Wu Tian and Liu Min had been waiting in Zhuo Wenjun's office for over an hour, and the three drunkards outside had also been taken away by the police, with security personnel returning to their posts. If they continued to wait here, it would be extremely unfavorable for both him and Liu Min.
Liu Min stretched out her hand and pointed to the outside of the door, hinting that Wu Tian should leave. Wu Tian shook his head, indicating that he would wait a while longer. Liu Min nodded and went outside the door to give Wu Tian some air for safety's sake.
Five minutes later, Liu Min suddenly opened the door and said, "Hurry up, the elevator is coming."
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, looked at the time, it was already two o'clock, who would come up at this hour? Could it be Zhuo Wenjun coming back to rest?
Wu Tian quickly put away his phone and walked towards the door, only to see the elevator doors open and Zhuo Wenjun walk out. Wu Tian had no idea where Liu Min was hiding, but she was nowhere to be seen. What the hell is going on? Who are you talking to about being steadfast and united around the Party Central Committee? How can you all run away at critical moments?
Just as Zhuo Wenjun had turned around and was walking towards this side, Wu Tian had nowhere to hide, so he could only return to the office, close the door, and then hide behind a screen.
He had just hidden when the office door opened and Zhuo Wenjun walked in from outside.
