British 1986

Seeing Khashoggi's tough look on his face, Allen smiled.

I didn't expect to meet a tough guy. Isn't it a coincidence?

This man was so hostile to him during the day, and now he looks like he would rather die than surrender. People who don't know the inside story would think that Allen has done something to him.

In fact, before today, Allen didn't know him at all, or even heard of him. If it weren't for what he said to himself at the wedding, Allen wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.

But now, you're just pretending to be cool, and you turn around and say nothing?

It just so happens that this house is a bit special. Since I don’t want to talk about it, let’s use it as waste.

"Snapped!"

Allen snapped his fingers on his right hand and said, "Bring the thing in and let him experience it."

After saying that, he crossed his legs and got ready to watch the show.

Several bodyguards lifted the chair with Khashoggi tied to it and moved it aside first. Several people lay on the ground and began to spread plastic film.

The extremely thick plastic film covered half of the room. When the edges were closed around it, wooden sticks were used to support it, making it look like a simple large square basin.

After the plastic film was laid, Khashoggi was brought in again and the chair was put down. Khashoggi was half-lying on the chair.

The rope on his hand was untied. The bodyguard who untied the rope looked at Allen and saw Allen nodded expressionlessly. He grabbed Khashoggi's right hand and tied it to a wide wooden board on the ground, with a rope on one end. Tightly trapped on nails in the board to stretch his arms.

Although Khashoggi didn't understand what these big men in black were going to do to him, looking at the posture of these people, it didn't look like they were planning to do anything good!

As his arms were straightened and fixed, an inexplicable feeling of fear came over him.

He was lying on his back on a chair with a bad angle of view. This position was so uncomfortable that even turning his head was difficult.

"Let me go, what do you want to do? What do you want to do?"

"Gag his mouth!"

"yes."

"woo woo woo woo."

He didn't know what was stuffed into his mouth. Khashoggi whined and couldn't speak. The more this happened, the more frightened he became, but now he couldn't move anywhere, even if he struggled, he couldn't use any strength. .

The sound of the zipper being activated, followed by a sound like sawtooth rotation, reached Khashoggi's ears. A sound of footsteps came to his side, and a man wearing something like a raincoat, rubber shoes, and even a pair of shoes appeared upside down in his field of vision. The person wearing a mask and diving goggles is holding a bone saw that has been started!

It's a long saw blade, a small machine used for sawing bones and meat.

The piercing sound of the saw blade made Khashoggi's pupils suddenly dilate, and he looked at this scene with trembling disbelief.

What is this for?

“Buzz!!!”

Without giving Khashoggi time to think, the bone saw slowly lifted up in his field of vision, then quickly approached, and then

The saw blade hit his arm, which was straightened and immobilized!

"Woo!!!"

"woo woo woo woo!"

Khashoggi suddenly began to struggle, but it was all in vain. The straps on his body were strong enough. Even if he used all his strength, he could not even move the chair, let alone the arm.

The sharp sound of the saw blade was accompanied by the sound of grinding bones.

Khashoggi's eyes almost popped out of his head in pain. The severe pain made the blood streaks on his eyeballs clear. They were sawing off his hand along his wrist!

In just a few seconds, there was a spurt of blood, and the surrounding plastic film was so spattered that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Allen narrowed his eyes and stood up, signaling with his right hand to stop first.

The big man wearing a raincoat and holding a bone saw stood up and took a step to the side.

"Take that out of his mouth."

"ah!!!!"

As the contents of his mouth were taken away, Khashoggi's ear-piercing screams filled the room.

Allen sneered and glanced at the oil painting on the wall not far from him.

It was an oil portrait of an unknown ambassador.

The person in the painting is wearing a suit, sitting at a desk, and has a beautiful button on his collar.

There is a bug on this button.

Oil paintings are not flat. Many oil paintings have certain ups and downs due to the stacking of paints. This little bug is hidden here, which is very clever.

It's just that the person who planted the bug may not know that it was discovered not long after the bug was pressed.

Allen looked in the direction of the bug and smiled, then took two steps forward and looked at Khashoggi lying inside through the plastic film.

"Don't you like to call me a devil? How do you feel about such devilish methods?"

Khashoggi lay on the chair with a pale face, throbbing in pain.

He could no longer hear Allen's questions. His whole body ached now, and he was in so much pain that he was unconscious.

"snort"

"Cut off his hand as well, and then continue the interrogation. Once you've asked clearly, write it down for me and give it to me tomorrow morning."

The smell of blood in the room was a bit strong, so Allen didn't have time to waste here. The remaining time was left to these bodyguards. He only wanted the results. As for the process, he left it to the Americans to listen slowly through the bug.

Mid-July 1993, Stockholm Arlanda International Airport.

It was lively here for a while in the past two years. Later, it seems that due to the low passenger flow, one of the No. 2 buildings was decommissioned. Although it is currently an international airport, the largest number of passengers is their domestic flight aircraft. International flights these days Compared with the other two airports, the airport reception is a bit less.

A row of new black Volvo 960s were parked quietly beside the airport runway. There were several bodyguard-looking people wearing sunglasses and headsets, staring closely at the landing flight in the distance.

After seeing the flight number clearly and communicating with the control tower to confirm that it was the target's flight, one of the bodyguards walked to a car parked in the middle and gently knocked on the window.

"Your Highness, your Excellency's flight has arrived."

"oh!"

The car window slowly opened, revealing the face of a young lady. This person looked very young, but his actual age was also very young. He was only 14 years old this year and was the eldest prince of Sweden.

The work of receiving Allen this time did not require a little kid like him, but the reception staff that had been arranged were suddenly replaced yesterday, and the king personally appointed the eldest prince to come in person. Reception.

Although the prince is young, he has high standards!

When he heard that Allen's plane had arrived, Prince Bertil simply nodded, neither excited nor nervous.

He had really never heard of Allen. We were more than ten years apart in age, so we were not of the same generation, and we had nothing in common. Prince Bertil didn't like the movies Allen made. Type, so. Prince Bertil had no idea about the person he was about to greet. To be more precise, he was even a little bored. This was a task assigned to him by his father himself, so it also delayed his personal life. time.

"Haha, I didn't expect that it was Your Highness who came to greet me in person?"

It was only after the plane stopped that Allen was told that the person who greeted him had changed from an ordinary person from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Swedish prince.

Although he has never met the eldest prince, Allen has heard of his name.

Prince Bertil was famous throughout Europe.

It's not that he's great, it's that this guy has been a big tragedy since he was born.

What a tragedy?

The throne that was obtained flew away. Is this a tragedy?

This is the throne!

When he was born, he was the apple of the eye of all Sweden, or rather the whole hope of King Gustav.

But just two years later, everything changed. In order to reflect the absence of gender discrimination, new legislation appeared. Parliament stipulated that members of the royal family can inherit the throne regardless of whether they are male or female.

so.

Prince Bertil, who was only two years old at the time and had not yet been officially crowned the crown prince, lost the throne in such a confusing manner, and the first person to inherit the throne eventually fell to his sister who was born two years earlier than him.

What's even more magical is that the old king really doesn't want to agree to this bill, but he can't be the home of Sweden, so what he says is of little use.

Anyway, as the only prince in Europe so far who is the eldest son, Prince Bertil is neither the crown prince nor will he most likely have no hope of inheriting the throne in the future.

Is this a tragedy?

Anyway, Allen uses himself to judge others. If his title suddenly disappears, he will go crazy.

But when he really saw the little prince, Allen didn't see any expression of humiliation or bearing the burden on his face. This little kid was only a few years older than William, and he didn't seem to particularly understand losing the throne. What does it mean?

"Hello, nice to meet you."

Prince Bertil spoke broken English, and gave Allen an extremely American greeting.

"."

"Me too, then let's"

Allen couldn't answer these words, as if two company bosses had just met at a very formal negotiation table, and both parties asked each other if they had eaten.

This is a bit out of line with the times, but it cannot be said to be frivolous, it is just weird.

"Get in the car and follow me. I will take you to visit the palace."

"this"

Seeing that this little kid was not enthusiastic, but not perfunctory, and looked businesslike, Allen looked at the bodyguard behind Prince Bertil.

The bodyguard and Allen looked at each other and shrugged normally, without even saying a word.

Sitting in this seemingly new Volvo, Allen touched what he considered to be an extremely crude interior in the car. Is this a luxury car, or a new model from 1991?

This car is not even as good as his old Bentley from the 1980s, it’s too plain!

All Swedes have this style?

"Master, I did some research before I came here. It seems that these Swedes are not as enthusiastic as us. But it's not that they are not enthusiastic. It's just that most people are like this, a bit cold to everyone."

Xiao Shitou sat in the passenger seat and twisted around to introduce Allen. After he finished the introduction, he said a few words in Swedish to the driver.

"Sir, just speak English, I can understand it, and you don't have to be so close to me when you speak."

The driver didn't turn his head, held the steering wheel extremely seriously, and answered Xiao Shitou's words while driving.

small stone:"."

Allen looked at this interesting scene and wanted to laugh a little. These Swedes are quite interesting.

I am used to the life in Great Britain. In fact, most of the people in Great Britain are not stereotypes, but it is true that most people are talkative.

When people chat with each other, they rarely get straight to the point.

That would appear stiff and rude.

Even civilians would not chat like this.

When everyone usually chats, they first talk about the weather, current situation, and current hot news, leaving the important things until the end.

Even when chatting between Allen and Boss Cha, usually there is a lot of rambling.

The more irrelevant the conversation, the closer the relationship between the two parties appears.

In Great Britain, talking less proves that the relationship is not good.

It's that simple, but when you come to Sweden, the people here seem to be the exact opposite of Britain?

Allen even wondered how people from two countries with such huge personality differences could relate to each other in the international arena.

The long-awaited inspection team finally took shape at the end of June.

A total of several large and small inspection groups were divided in order to prevent mutual cover-up or fraud.

The European Parliament's inspection of countries applying to join the European Community as new members is conducted by inspection teams formed by various departments.

As for Allen, of course he said hello and was assigned to the Swedish inspection team.

The current inspection team consists of himself.

Number of members: 0

This is not to say that the European Parliament is joking. The plan is for Allen to be responsible for recruiting a varying number of interns, and to make this inspection a private investigation open to interns.

Just highlight one: not very formal.

Anyway, Allen didn't have time to do these things, so he arranged the task and let his secretary at the French headquarters be in charge of recruiting people. He would go to Sweden first to check in. When he had enough fun, the interns almost came over.

At that time, we will invite them to have a meal in Sweden, hold a few small meetings, and give these young people some blood injections. This inspection will be almost completed.

The simplicity of the process was far beyond Allen's imagination. Calling it an inspection, it was really like "half sale, half free", just a formality.

Based on the current strategic goals of the European Community, as long as the domestic situation is not too bad, they welcome these countries to join the European Community. Of course, they will not make things difficult for others.

Besides, Sweden itself is very strange. There are some things that Allen has just arrived and he has not yet understood them in depth. He still does not understand the deep meaning of them.

Royal Palace of Sweden.

This palace does not refer to the palace in Stockholm that tourists can visit partially, but the Swedish royal family's private palace on Queen's Road in the suburbs - Drottningholm Palace.

As soon as he got off the car, Allen was stunned by the scenery here.

If Wales can be considered more rural, with many jungles and a strong sense of nature.

The environment of Drottningholm Palace can really be called--splendid with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

They say this place is called North Versailles. Allen doesn't think Versailles is much better, but now that we are here, this kind of building is matched with the surrounding environment, flower gardens, and scenery.

Tsk tsk tsk. All the complacency that Allen felt when he first moved into the new manor disappeared at this moment.

This is what people call a house!
