Chapter 1606: Chapter 1585: Safe Deposit Box
Gao Yang just wanted to confirm one thing: whether that gun was in Poloneshenko’s mansion.
Trying to steal the gun was definitely an uncertain matter right now, but not even knowing where the gun was would be even more ridiculous.
Now with Osa as an assistant, getting into Poloneshenko’s mansion seed a bit easier. Gao Yang really hoped to settle this matter as soon as possible, so he wanted to go in himself and take a look. If he could just grab the gun and leave, that would be the best scenario.
Unfortunately, although Gao Yang said he wanted to go in personally, Number Thirteen and Osa had no intention of letting him do so.
“I can figure out a way to create conditions for you to impersonate soone influential, but with your leg being immobile, how do you plan to get in? Also, Mr. Poloneshenko is very busy right now; he certainly won’t have ti to et you in the short term. However, I think after he becos president, he might have ti.”
Osa said softly with tenderness, and after a mont of contemplation, Number Thirteen said in a deep voice, “We must act fast; waiting until he becos president will be too late.”
After speaking, Number Thirteen looked at Gao Yang and said, “You solve this. Find a way to create a big enough pretense for ; this shouldn’t be a problem for you.”
Gao Yang was about to collapse. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I said I would go in myself, didn’t you understand?”
Osa remained silent, while Number Thirteen shrugged, helplessly saying, “What can you find if you go? Can you discover a suitable passage for a secret infiltration?”
Gao Yang shouted angrily, “All it takes is real-ti audio and video transmission; what difference does it make whether I go or you go? In your current state, you can barely walk. When you get to Poloneshenko’s house, do you plan to be carried in or piggybacked?”
Number Thirteen sighed, continued to watch the computer screen, and said in a low voice, “It’s indeed troubleso. My mobility is limited; so highly specialized things I can’t discern without being on-site. Even if you go with real-ti transmission, the effect is far less than being there personally.”
Taylor suddenly said, “Why not go together?”
Gao Yang was taken aback, and after a mont of surprise, Number Thirteen frowned and said, “I’ve been working alone for so long that I overlooked this possibility.”
Gao Yang smiled wryly and said, “Uh, I just thought going alone was enough.”
Number Thirteen nodded and said loudly, “Okay, we’ll both go. Let’s find roles suitable for us; let’s leave this task to our employer, who can do it.”
The employer that Number Thirteen referred to was Morgan. Getting Morgan’s help to have a big company make a credible eting request should not be difficult—a eting so important that Poloneshenko would highly value and be reluctant to decline.
Gao Yang thought for a mont, nodding, “Okay, this is not a problem, but do we still need to consult with Osa? If she’s too involved, it might seriously impact her future life.”
Gao Yang was still too kind, while Number Thirteen was utterly ruthless. He said with a smile to Osa, “That’s right, you’re better off not getting involved next. If you arouse Poloneshenko’s suspicion, it wouldn’t be good.”
If Number Thirteen truly didn’t want Osa involved, he wouldn’t speak with concern in his tone.
Osa said decisively, “It’s okay. I find this matter thrilling and want to be involved to the end!”
After a mont of hesitation, Number Thirteen nodded, “Alright, let’s make the plan more ticulous to avoid drawing suspicion to you.”
At this mont, Osa’s captured footage suddenly shifted. The cara panned past Poloneshenko, and the video neared its end. Next was Osa’s farewell handshake with Poloneshenko, marking the video’s conclusion.
This was already the fifth ti Number Thirteen watched this ten-minute video, and Gao Yang had watched it once too. He believed this video only served to confirm that the two guns hanging on the wall in the reception room were not the desired ones, with no other revelations.
Gao Yang didn’t know what point there was in watching the video over and over, but this ti, Number Thirteen’s eyes widened. He pressed the space bar, pausing the video, and rewound it a little before hitting the space bar again.
Gao Yang thought sothing had been discovered. He watched carefully but still couldn’t tell what it was. Yet, Number Thirteen’s serious expression made Gao Yang hesitant to interrupt.
After a long ti in silence, Osa couldn’t help but ask, “Have you found anything?”
Number Thirteen nodded, saying in a deep voice, “Yes, that safe.”
Osa said puzzled, “But there’s no safe in Mr. Poloneshenko’s small reception room. I’ve been there many tis, and there’s no safe.”
Gao Yang was also baffled, asking, “Where’s the safe?”
Number Thirteen pointed to a corner of the screen, whispering, “Here.”
Poloneshenko’s small reception room didn’t serve the purpose of an office. The room’s furnishings were very luxurious but also quite simple, with no safes in sight.
Number Thirteen was referring to a bunch of keys Poloneshenko placed on the coffee table. He asked in a deep voice, “Osa, were these keys in his hand, or did he just leave them there when you went in?”
Osa thought for a mont and nodded, “Mr. Poloneshenko had them in his hand, then put them down casually when we entered the small reception room.”
Number Thirteen nodded with a smile, “These two keys are for safes. Their shapes are very unique, a special shape exclusively used by the Döttling Company. No mistake about it.”
Osa exclaid in surprise, “A safe? Aren’t safes usually keyless?”
Number Thirteen smiled, “You’re right. These keys aren’t for opening the safe; they’re for unlocking the disguise that hides the safe. In other words, these keys are for opening the cover that camouflages the safe. So, quite clearly, Poloneshenko custom-ordered a special safe, a hidden safe.”
Osa stared in admiration, “Wow, you’re truly the best; you can even figure this out.”
Gao Yang felt Osa was becoming smitten. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, “What’s the significance of discovering this?”
Number Thirteen said in a deep voice, “The Döttling Company is a top luxury safe company in Germany. They store luxury goods, and their safes are themselves luxury items, offering the world’s highest burglary resistance levels. Of course, they also provide custom services, creating safes for specific purposes as requested by clients.”
After speaking, Number Thirteen smiled faintly, “Think about it. If you were just storing so docunts or jewelry, would you need a custom-made safe? Of course, Poloneshenko might just have had Döttling Company co in to install a safe and disguise it, but if we look into whether he actually commissioned a custom safe capable of storing guns, it would reveal everything.” (To be continued.
