After talking to Mr. An, Qin Fei sat in his chair and fell into deep thought.
In fact, all worries now are unnecessary. The most important thing is to solve the mystery in the hard drive. When it comes to pressure, Michelle is relatively more stressed than herself.
Thinking of this, Qin Fei's inner emotions finally calmed down a lot.
He decided to talk to Michelle. Now that he had the hard drive, he could put aside the matters in South Africa for the time being and give priority to flying to Colombia.
Now that Fan Tianlong has kidnapped three nuclear experts, his most important thing now is to destroy the hard drive. Even if the data in the hard drive cannot be destroyed, Qin Fei and the others cannot obtain it.
Qin Fei guessed that the "shark catching plan" hidden in the hard drive may not have been completed so far. The reason for this judgment is that if the plan is completed, then the information related to nuclear weapons in the hard drive will be equivalent to expired confidentiality.
The document has lost its meaning.
If this is really the case, Fan Tianlong does not have to spend so much effort to send so many people to interfere with this matter. In order to prevent Qin Fei and others from obtaining the information in the hard drive, Fan Tianlong has spent a lot of money, Qinglong and Baihu.
His right-hand man fell into Qin Fei's hands.
Now, he cooperated with Ryuichi Kawasaki and asked the Holy City Army to hire Red to steal Qin Fei's hard drive. However, he did not expect that Red would turn out to be a secret agent of MI17. This was an unexpected situation that Fan Tianlong could not predict in the entire plan.
It's hard to beat the snake, since Fan Tianlong's biggest taboo is for the secrets in the hard drive to be exposed, then he must find the clues before Fan Tianlong completes all his plans.
Nuclear weapons cannot be made in a day or two. Although Fan Tianlong kidnapped three former South African nuclear experts a few months ago, Qin Fei believes that if he wants to make a real weapons-grade nuclear weapon, it will have to cost a lot of money.
Time, at least from the current point of view, Fan Tianlong may not really get the weapons-grade nuclear warhead he wants.
Therefore, Morris is the only key to the hard drive, and only the designer of this hard drive firewall knows how to open the seemingly undecryptable hard drive.
After failing to find Michelle in the living room or equipment room, Qin Fei met Connor on the first floor.
This guy's eyes were red and he looked very haggard. He was standing next to the refrigerator, taking a can of Coke from it and applying cold compresses to his forehead.
"How is Hugo?" Qin Fei asked.
Connor shook his head: "The operation is completed and it is still under observation. Tomorrow they plan to send Hugo to a place more suitable for treatment."
"Let it go. As our old saying goes, it will be good if the green hills are still there and there is no need for firewood and no one dies." Qin Fei consoled him.
Connor nodded slowly, agreeing with Qin Fei's point of view.
"Have you seen Major Michelle?" Qin Fei remembered that he didn't see Michelle on the second floor, nor on the first floor. The building only had two floors. Did Michelle go out?
Connor shook his head.
"Did she go out?"
"No, I've been on the first floor and didn't see her come down. She's probably still upstairs," Connor said.
Qin Fei frowned.
Because he knew that Michelle was not on the second floor at all.
He decided to look for it. At this time, it stands to reason that Michelle would not be able to go out alone. The people from the Cornerstone Project are currently in Johannesburg. So many action members were lost tonight. I am afraid that she and MI17 are in the same situation. She is alone.
It's easy to be spotted and killed when out and about.
Qin Fei turned around and left, planning to go upstairs and look again.
Qin Fei turned around, nodded towards Connor, and said no more. Hugo was not dead, so there was no need to comfort Connor. As a professional agent, life and death are too common.
When they arrived on the second floor, Qin Fei knocked on the door of Michelle's room, but no one answered.
Returning to the stairs full of suspicion, Qin Fei wondered whether he should go downstairs to tell George and Connor the news. Although everyone in the MI17 action team was currently immersed in great sorrow for Joyce's death,
But the commander's disappearance is no small matter.
Just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the top of the stairs.
Although this safe house only has two floors, the stairs on the second floor still extend upward.
Qin Fei remembered that the design of this building should also have an attic. The attic was not a serious floor, but it still had a certain amount of space.
Did Michelle go to the attic?
He couldn't help but think of those movies in which Westerners like to run to the attic to quiet down or cry when they encounter something unhappy.
Michelle is a Westerner, so of course she will have the same cultural habits.
He gave up the plan of going downstairs and walked along the stairs towards the third floor.
Sure enough, the third floor is really a small attic.
There were two rows of shelves in the attic, filled with things, but Michelle was not seen.
Qin Fei curiously stepped forward to look at the items on the shelf and found that they were all spare equipment, such as bulletproof vests, tactical vests, camouflage uniforms, bulletproof splints, bullets and ammunition of various calibers, and tactical bags and the like.
Qin Fei even saw a "Javelin" missile launcher on the shelf, which shocked him.
The safe house is really well-equipped. Even if a company attacks, as long as the opponent doesn't use heavy weapons such as tanks, they can probably stay here for a week without any problem.
Just as he was about to turn around and go downstairs to ask George to see if he could know Michelle's whereabouts, Qin Fei suddenly heard a slight noise outside the house.
It was the slight clicking sound of feet stepping on the wooden planks of the roof.
Qin Fei's heart was shaking. This meant that someone was on the roof outside!
Could it be that someone from the Cornerstone Project came to visit?
How can the intelligence collection work of these guys reach such a terrifying level? They can even find safe houses, which means that there must be American spies in the British Empire's intelligence department.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Although both sides are allies, in the underground world of espionage, the boundaries between enemies and friends are quite blurred.
Qin Fei carefully took out the Glock 18 from his waist, turned on the safety, gently pushed the gun and checked the ammunition, and then quietly approached the attic window.
There was only a dim small lamp in the attic. Qin Fei noticed that the dust accumulated here was very serious, and there was a thick layer of dust in many places.
When he got to the window, Qin Fei took a look and his heart skipped a beat.
There was a piece of dust missing from the edge of the window sill. It was obvious that someone had opened it!
Leaning on the side of the window, Qin Fei looked out the window and saw no one in his sight.
He walked to the other side and looked in the opposite direction, but still saw no one.
Reaching out to hold the handle of the window, Qin Fei slowly pushed the window open...
Suddenly, a pistol with a silencer hung from the window and pointed at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei's mind exploded, and the hairs all over his body stood up in an instant!
