Entering the fourth floor, the first thing you see is a fallen coffee table.
The fourth floor is not large and looks like an independent coffee room, obviously used to entertain relatively high-status people.
"No one?" Mist stood cautiously on the steps, leaning against the wall and observing the room carefully.
For a while, there was no movement.
Qin Fei walked forward slowly with the AK47 in hand. Suddenly, a leather shoe appeared in his sight.
My heart was pounding suddenly.
Those are Rhett's leather shoes!
It’s going to be bad!
The two of them looked at each other at the door. Qin Fei broke in first, followed by Mist...
The room was empty.
Qin Fei saw Rhett, but at this time Rhett was already lying on the floor with his head down, blood oozing from one side of his shirt, and his black briefcase fell to the side and had been opened.
"Oh shit!"
Qin Fei cursed in a low voice and said to Mist: "Check the corners of the room to see if there is any problem!"
Mist glanced at Red on the ground, shook his head and said, "This guy is cold."
After that, he started searching the room.
Qin Fei walked to Rhett, slowly squatted down, and carefully looked around Rhett's body.
He had to be careful. The Holy City Army was notoriously cunning and cruel. Now that Red was dead, maybe his body would be used as a bomb trap.
Before confirming whether there was any danger, Qin Fei decided not to take action and hastily remove Rhett's body. Instead, he gently picked up the briefcase next to him.
There was nothing strange about the briefcase. It was empty, with nothing in it.
The hard drive is not there.
Qin Fei felt cold sweat break out on his back and forehead, as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar.
After putting down his briefcase and observing Rhett's body, Qin Fei came to the conclusion that the hard drive was not on Rhett's body.
Damn him!
Qin Fei couldn't help but curse in his heart.
The hard drive is missing, this is what I am most worried about!
The whole plan went wrong, not according to the planned script! The real Achilles' heel was gone, and only the fake in the vault remained!
Although the situation is very bad, things still need to be done.
Mist returned to Qin Fei and asked, "Have you found the hard drive?"
"No." Qin Fei shook his head and said, "Do me a favor and slowly lift the body."
After saying that, he lay down on the floor, as close to the carpet as possible, and looked under Rhett's body.
Rhett looked at Qin Fei with his eyes blankly. The bullet entered his chest, perhaps hitting his heart. There was a large pool of blood around him. Poor Rhett might not have lasted three minutes before he took his last breath.
The bodies were gradually moved away, and Qin Fei did not see any booby traps.
Obviously, the Holy City Army was in a hurry and had no time to do these things.
Turning Red over, Qin Fei checked the wounds on the body. Sure enough, there were several bullet holes in the left chest. The bullets used were not bullets with strong penetrating power, maybe hollow bullets or explosive bullets. Such bullets
Although the penetrating power is not strong, the cavity effect and stopping power are very impressive.
Qin Fei could almost imagine that the heart in Rhett's chest might have created a puddle of rotten flesh. The other party obviously wanted Rhett to die, and he must die!
"Red is dead." Qin Fei notified the five-person MI17 team on the platform, "We found his body in the coffee shop on the fourth floor. He was shot three times, all in the heart. He is hopeless."
"Fuck!" Joyce cursed first.
Then there was Michelle, who seemed calmer.
As a commander, it was obvious that she had already prepared for the worst when the gun went off.
Why kill Red!?
This is something Qin Fei can't figure out. There is no need for Rhett to die. At least if he is the Holy City Army, there is really no need to kill Rhett.
There seems to be only one explanation. The Holy City Army knew the hard drive was real, so they took it, and Red also knew it was real, so he tried his best to protect it.
However, this is the territory of the Holy City Army, and the opponent has a large number of people. Of course, Red is no match, and he ends up being shot.
As a spy, there may come a day when the real winner in espionage is not how much information you can get, but whether you can quit the press.
Even if you quit the intelligence community, it is not the final safety. The first principle of the intelligence community is - forget everything you know! Otherwise you will never be safe!
It’s over!
Qin Fei's heart sank to the bottom of the sea. Now it seems that the hard drive is in danger. His only hope is that Michelle and the others can catch those members of the Holy City Army and retrieve the real Achilles' heel.
"Let's move the body away."
Qin Fei knew that Rhett's body was not suitable to be left here, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble once the South African authorities investigate it.
The two of them carried Red's body downstairs and saw that Joyce had parked the car in front of the cafe.
Putting the body in the car, Joyce's eyes were filled with sadness.
After all, they are all engaged in intelligence work, and in the same branch, no one can feel comfortable watching their colleagues sacrifice their lives.
"The hard drive is gone, damn it!" Qin Fei opened the call channel and said to Michelle: "Major, we have retrieved the body, but the hard drive is missing. You must intercept all members of the Holy City Army, otherwise we will not return.
Hard disk, not only will the mission fail, we will also suffer heavy losses!"
"Don't worry, we killed all of them, leaving only one alive, and we are rushing back now." Major Michel's answer made Qin Fei somewhat relieved.
Since everyone has been intercepted, the hard drive cannot be lost.
"Where's the hard drive!? Have you found it?" Qin Fei asked quickly.
Michelle said: "No, I didn't find any hard drives on them."
Qin Fei's heart sank again.
Everyone intercepted it, and the hard drive is missing!?
I searched the cafe above and couldn't find it. Could it be that they did magic? Such a big hard drive is not a gadget like an SD card and cannot be swallowed.
What's going on? What happened?
Questions jumped out of Qin Fei's mind one by one.
Soon, Qin Fei saw the figures of Michelle, Hugo, and Connor appearing on the street corner. Connor was carrying a half-dead guy on his shoulders, and his hands were cut behind his back by the restraints. He seemed to have lost the ability to resist.
Running to the car, Connor threw the people into the car like a pig. Michelle waved her hand: "Get out of here!"
Joyce made a sharp U-turn, the Chevrolet van's engine roared, and the exhaust pipe spewed out a cloud of black smoke, which quickly disappeared into an alley.
The car was speeding on an old road paved with bluestone and quite a bit of history. Qin Fei glanced at the member of the Holy City Army on the ground, raised his head and asked Michelle: "Who is this guy?"
"The leader of the Holy City Army responsible for this transaction, Zahail." Michelle put the MK18 melee rifle into the equipment box, sat down next to Qin Fei, and stared at the knife on the ground with the eyes of a kind of prey.
Hail said: "The hard drive is not on him, but I will ask where it is." (To be continued)
