The tempered glass is rapidly cooled under the low temperature of liquid nitrogen, the material structure changes and the texture becomes brittle.As the steel cylinder fell, spider web-like cracks spread, and in a short while, the protective cover burst with a bang, and glass shards shattered all over the ground.

Putting down the steel cylinder, Xiao Yu gasped for breath, briefly moved his numb wrist, and with a light shake, the ceramic blade hidden in the cuff slid out and was firmly held by two fingers, "It's done, deer."

"Wait a minute." Lu Cen said methodically.

As early as the sound of cracking sounded, he had already started to activate the program to control the dark layer mechanism.There was an extremely skilled keyboard tapping sound from the communication channel, Xiao Yu stepped forward on the glass slag, touched the empty wooden wall with his fingers, and tapped lightly with his knuckles.

The wall structure made a 'dong' sound, and it was indeed empty.

At the entrance of the exhibition room, Luo Yifan and Archimedes were guarding there.

Luo Yifan rolled up his cuffs to check the time. It has been 20 minutes since their operation started. If his memory is correct, the operation team leader stationed in the main control room tonight has noticed that the two teams have lost contact. Five minutes later, the agents he sent will It will appear at the stairs on the right, and he was one of those agents in his previous life.

At the other end opposite to the entrance gate, there was a sound of mechanical operation behind the display wall. The outermost floating board descended to reveal the hidden compartment behind, and the mechanism pushed forward to push out the "Mona Lisa" sunken inside.

When stealing famous paintings, the usual method of grand theft is to cut off the original work and replace it with a high-quality fake.The three of them didn't know how to copy, and in addition to the rush of time for this commission, they didn't prepare fakes to deceive people's eyes beforehand.

Xiao Yu put on a pair of silk gloves specially used for nursing antiques, opened the flashlight and held it in his mouth. In order to prevent the strong light from causing damage to the paintings, he only chose ordinary household flashlights and adjusted the light to the weakest. Stabilize the picture frame, pinch the blade with the index finger and thumb of the other hand, the edge close to the upper right corner is about to cut the knife——

Inadvertently glanced from the corner of the eye, the movements of his hands stopped immediately, Xiao Yu frowned bit by bit, his eyes gradually became indescribably terrified, with the help of the faint light of the flashlight, he noticed the Mona Lisa There was an extremely familiar brushstroke in his eyes.

It was a mark buried deep in memory that belonged only to that person.

This painting is... The flashlight fell to the ground with a bang, Xiao Yu stared at the "Mona Lisa" on the wall, and took a step back in disbelief, the most primitive fear seeped out from the bottom of his heart, eroding his internal organs ——

He found me, he is... the client behind Victor?

Clenching the palms by his side suddenly, Xiao Yu's eyes lost focus, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Why did Shaw stop?" Archimedes frowned and said strangely: "He lost the flashlight."

Because he knew in advance that there would be no accidents during the theft, Luo Yifan focused all his attention on the corridor on the right at this time, and he hurriedly looked towards the wall of the exhibition room after hearing what Archimedes said.

"What's the matter?" Lu Cen didn't know the situation. According to the procedure, it is now the drawing stage without any technical difficulty. How could the flashlight fall off?

"shaw?" Luo Yifan whispered, "What are you waiting for?!"

"I—" Xiao Yu seemed to wake up suddenly, turned around hesitantly, looked towards the entrance through thousands of irregularly moving laser beams, and murmured: "This painting is...a fake."

As soon as the words came out, the other three people on the same channel were shocked at the same time.

"Impossible!" Archimedes said, "The last time the "Mona Lisa" was stolen was [-] years ago, and there has been no accident in the Louvre since it was returned. How could the painting be fake?!"

Lu Cen: "shaw, you don't understand art appreciation, how can you be sure that the painting is a fake?"

Xiao Yu didn't answer, took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

This painting is fake. At this point, even if he doesn't touch it, he will be put on the hat of stealing the "Mona Lisa". This is a premeditated serial commission. He did it because he knew that the paintings in the Louvre had been tampered with long ago!

——It was that person who stole the "Mona Lisa", and it turned out... so!

Lightning flashed across the end of the corridor on the second floor, and footsteps sounded, Luo Yifan and Archimedes noticed this at the same time, Archimedes realized that someone was coming this way, and quickly said on the communication channel: "Someone is coming, we have to go !"

There was no deviation between the time and the memory of the previous life. Luo Yifan looked at Xiao Yu in the exhibition room with complicated eyes. He still had the expressionless and cold appearance, but his heart had already set off a storm.

The question that had been troubling him before was finally solved - no wonder Shaw couldn't figure out how to transfer the "Mona Lisa" away. It turned out that he was not the one who stole the painting. This commission was a trap from the very beginning. People are not shaw, they are all used by others!

Lu Cen, who was far away in the truck container, looked sullen. The monitoring showed that a group of agents were getting closer and closer to the exhibition room. If they did not evacuate, they would face a greater loss than the failure of the commission.

"This is the end of the action. You leave according to the original plan." After speaking, Lu Cen decisively packed up the necessary equipment, left the truck, sat in the BMW next to him, started the engine and drove away.

Xiao Yu closed her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, "Got it."

The laser beam in the display stopped again, and Xiao Yu returned to the entrance to join the other two. The three of them used the cover of darkness to leave quickly before the guards noticed.

The torrential rain that lasted for a whole day has just subsided, the fog outside is getting thicker, and the visibility is pitifully low. In a corridor on the southernmost side of the Louvre, Xiao Yu climbed on the window sill to pry open the seventh window lock, and pushed the window open. Moisture rushed towards the face, slightly lifting the corner of the boy's snow-white clothes.

He reached out to Archimedes, pulled him up, patted his shoulder, and said softly: "You come first, don't be afraid, it's not very high, and you won't get hurt if you focus on it."

Archimedes nodded, jumped down cautiously, and then whispered: "Come quickly!"

Xiao Yu half-kneeled on the window sill, pressing the window frame with his palms. Luo Yifan was standing behind him, unable to see his expression clearly, nor what he was thinking at the moment.Suddenly Xiao Yu turned her head and glanced at the corner where they came.

"What are you waiting for?" Luo Yifan couldn't help asking.

"Let's see if anyone can catch up." Xiao Yu shrugged indifferently, turned around and smiled at Luo Yifan, "Did you know that being 'hunted' is also a pleasure for a robber, if even he can catch up to you I don’t have any opponents, such a career is boring~”

Luo Yifan was stunned for a moment.

——In the last life, it was because of this reason that Shaw regarded him as an equal opponent?

"Let's go," Xiao Yu said, "I have to explain to Lu Lu when I go back."

Luo Yifan didn't say much, climbed onto the windowsill, and left with Xiao Yu.

Archimedes waited in fear below, and he used the identity of 'Mark' to transfer the guards. When those people woke up, Mark, as the only person whose identity was known by the police, would definitely be wanted by the world. The face is simply a big trouble with no value!

Archimedes was afraid of being abandoned by his two thighs, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two finally got down.

"How?" Archimedes leaned over and asked, "Is there a helicopter to send us directly out of the country?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him inexplicably, "The one with the head on the ground?"

Archimedes shook his head, Xiao Yu said, "Then what nonsense are you talking about? Can you not watch too many movies?"

Archimedes: "..."

Xiao Yu: "You will follow closely after a while, and I won't have time to look for you if you wander off."

Archimedes: "???"

"Don't waste time." Luo Yifan pulled Xiao Yu straight to the Seine River, Archimedes couldn't understand the situation at all, so he could only follow, wondering why he was going to the river?Is there a boat to pick you up?

When they got to the river, Xiao Yu and Luo Yifan didn't stop at all, and plunged into the water, Archimedes was stunned, and he yelled in his heart!It's a big joke!Do you know how many people drown in this river every year?Then he closed his eyes and jumped down.

The water quality of the Seine River is turbid, and the bottom is connected to the underground drainage pipes extending in all directions in Paris. Xiao Yu made sufficient preparations in advance and found the nearest drainage channel entrance with ease.Luo Yifan pried open the barbed wire, stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Yu's back, signaling him to go first, and then dragged the dazed Archimedes into it.

The sewer was pitch black, and the stench of corruption made people's stomachs churn. There was water half a foot deep under their feet, and a layer of disgusting oil floated on the surface.The communication equipment was immediately scrapped by soaking in water. Xiao Yu took off the earphones and put them away, and took out the mobile phone in the waterproof bag to check the route.

Luo Yifan took off his uniform jacket, wrung out the water and put it on for Xiao Yu. Archimedes was exhausted, suffocated by the stench, leaning against the wall with his back to the two, and vomited out his stomach.

"We have to go through two blocks below here, and we have to arrive before dawn. Deer will be waiting outside an abandoned factory..." Xiao Yu said, looking at Archimedes, feeling that his appearance was a bit miserable, After all, he is just a weak chicken fitness coach. No matter how strong his body is, his quality is far inferior to that of a professional. He hesitated and asked, "Do you need to rest?"

Archimedes turned pale from vomiting, waved his hands, and said, "It's quite a distance of two blocks, and it's not easy to walk down here."

"Speak when you can't hold on anymore." Xiao Yu added.

Archimedes was immediately moved, rushed over and hugged Xiao Yu's thigh, and said, "I knew you were a good person!"

"Good sir! I've lost you decisively!" Xiao Yu looked disgusted and said angrily, "Get out of here!"

The Gaode map that provides navigation is based on the surface buildings. The urban underground drainage system is intricate. Xiao Yu can only guess which pipeline to take based on the direction, and it is easy to go the wrong way. This trip will consume the most physical energy. , coupled with the bad air here, it is inevitable to start to lose energy after a few hours.

Luo Yifan noticed that Xiao Yu was not breathing well, took the mobile phone to guide him, and hugged Xiao Yu in his arms to let him rest.Xiao Yu was also polite, and put his arms around Yi Fan's waist, no matter how weak his body was, it would not affect his abdominal muscles and eat tofu.

The foreign sewer organisms are all xl versions. From time to time, cockroaches and mice would jump under the feet of several people. The two foreigners didn't react at all. Instead, Archimedes, a native, was startled nervously, clutching Xiao Yu. Close your eyes and walk away.

At around five o'clock in the morning, a hidden manhole cover behind the factory building was pushed away, and Xiao Yu, Luo Yifan, and Archimedes climbed onto the ground in a panic.The sky began to rain again. Lu Cen's car was parked on the side of the road opposite the factory. Seeing that the three finally arrived, he immediately started the engine.

Luo Yifan got into the co-pilot, Xiao Yu opened the back door to let Archimedes get in first, and the four of them finally met.Lu Cen stubbed out his cigarette butt, turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road. There were almost no pedestrians in the entire block. Covered by the dense water vapor brought by the heavy rain, this ancient and exquisite city has not yet awakened.

"Explain it," Lu Cen said after the silence, "Your reason for judging that the painting is a fake."

Xiao Yu looked in the rearview mirror, but Lu Cen in the mirror did not look at him.

After nearly a month of preparation, he only waited for such a result. Lu Cen was originally a strict person, and it was impossible for him to make mistakes in his work. Xiao Yu knew that he was in a bad mood, so he remained silent for a few seconds before saying: "I know the man who copied that painting, so I know his habits."

Lu Cen raised his head and met Xiao Yu's eyes from the rearview mirror, as if he was examining the truthfulness of this sentence.

"Who?" Finally, he asked lightly.

"One—" Eyelashes drooped, Xiao Yu forbearance pursed her lips tightly, as if it was difficult to define that person.

At this moment, the three people's mobile phones vibrated at the same time, and the same strange number sent a picture message. It was an exhibition room in the dark. "It was hung on the wall intact, the difference from before was that there was an extra black card in the lower left corner of the picture frame.

The second photo is a close-up of the card. On the smooth surface of the hard cardboard, the machine-printed script is shining with silver light, and it says——

One hundred and four years later, I took away the lady with the most beautiful smile, in order to pay tribute to the distinguished Mr. Vincent Belluggia!

Your faithful thief, shaw.
