Chapter 24: The Treasure Stealing (Part 1)

Then, Tianyi took out a tape measure-like device and pulled it out. After straightening it, the thing was as hard as a steel ruler, with serrated teeth on one side. This device was modified with a locksmith's elastic lock ruler. It can be bent and folded into the gap, and it is reductive and can also be used to open traditional door locks.

He adjusted the device to a calculated length, extended from the edge of the steel plate above his head, and carefully began cutting the turf and soil under the turf. This work required great care. Excessive action would likely be seen by the surveillance personnel through the camera probe, so it took Tianyi fifteen minutes to complete.

Now, just push up, a neatly shaped piece of turf will be lifted up on the lawn outside.

Tianyi pressed the electronic watch, and in the faint light, the time at this moment was printed on the watch. In just five minutes, there will be an opportunity. This is a time that has been carefully calculated and will only appear twice in the twenty-four hours of the day. The other time is during the day, which means that this is the only opportunity that will be fleeting tonight.

Within ten seconds after the start of 22:30:02, the three camera probes around this place will have a blind spot. The straight path from this lawn to the office building is unsurveilled, and the patrolling guards are not in this area. This is the exact data he obtained through surveillance and calculations, and it is also the best opportunity for him to sneak into the Louvre under limited conditions.

All he had to do was to quietly lift the separation plate, soil and turf above his head vertically within ten seconds, put it as smoothly as possible, climb out quickly, pull up the small portable refrigerator, then return the turf, carry the box to a building thirty meters away from this coordinate, that is, the building where Galas Dadan works.

The dead corner of the camera probe on the surveillance door of the building is the angle between the floor and the wall near the guard room. When Tianyi enters the first floor gate, he must take advantage of the inertia after running and slide on the ground, avoiding the guard's sight and camera lens. The camera probe outside the building turns over again before moving to the bottom of the camera in the building, and at the same time sticking to the wall of the guard room, straightening his body to flicker. Only in this position and maintaining this posture can he temporarily take a breath without being discovered.

Of course, the plan is proper and theoretically possible, but to implement it, it depends on the ability of the executor and some luck components.

Tianyi took advantage of the waiting time to wrap the rope around his waist a few more circles, shortening the distance between the portable refrigerator and himself. He put away the tools and confirmed that the pocket on his belt would not hinder him, and that things would not fall out of it.

After repeated verification of the time on the electronic watch, it is accurate to within 0.2 seconds. There is only one chance of full text without advertisements. If there is a slight mistake, not only will the previous efforts be wasted, but the whole market will be lost.

Five minutes passed quickly, and in the last five seconds, Tianyi supported himself with his back and feet, raised his hands above his head, pressed against the separation plate on his head, and counted silently for five seconds in his mind. At the last second, he tried his best to lift the separation plate, and some broken soil fell down, but this would not interfere with his speed.

The turf and soil were piled on the separation plate like a birthday cake on a cardboard box. Tianyi pushed the separation plate flat and put it aside. He grabbed the ground outside the pipe with both hands, and turned it backwards and came to the ground. After completing the movement, his body was in a half-squat position, and the portable refrigerator had been brought to his face by a rope.

He took the portable refrigerator out of the pipe and immediately pushed the separation plate back to its original position with the other hand. Tianyi kept timing in his heart. It took more than five seconds to come. For him, this was very smooth and more than enough.

With the half-squat posture and the forward center of gravity, Tianyi took two steps and rushed out. He did not forget to step on the grass that had just returned to his position, making it look flatter.

He lowered his upper body, rushed forward, and came to the office building. The rest of the time was about one second. The lobby was not bright, and the main light source was in the guard room, so Tianyi didn't have to worry about shadows being illuminated on the wall.

The moment the camera probe behind him was about to sweep his heels, Tianyi jumped forward, like a freestyle athlete entering the water, stretching his arms forward, holding a small refrigerator in his hand, and trying to straighten his whole body, facing down, and slid in from the corner between the walls and the ground of the lobby of the office building.

If the floor is wood or cement, it may have to be ground. However, the floor here is marble. The black suit that Tianyi wore outside the suit, including the mask, was pure cotton, and there was almost no sound when sliding. Even if there was a slight rustling sound, the guard who was reading the novel could not notice it.

After Tianyi finished slid and sneaked in, he stretched out his whole body and lying down, facing his hand-held refrigerator vertically towards him and put it on the ground very lightly. Fortunately, he was slim. If he had big shoulders and round waists, he would probably break into the camera lens above his head.

At this moment, he was outside the guard room, just a wall away from the guard inside. There is a saying that it is "dark under the light", like you are sitting on a bus and under the wheel directly below you is pressing someone. In this case, you cannot see the person without poking your head out.

This is the case for the doorman now. The walls of the doorman room are thicker and are equipped with bulletproof glass. The windows are generally not open at night and the doors are also closed at night. This is a regulation, so Tianyi can climb into the building against the wall on this side. As long as he turns around and leaves the guard's sight, he can get up and walk upright.

When Tianyi pretended to be a courier to deliver the wood carving, he looked at where the camera probe above his head and the other three going in. He recorded the appearance and investigated the product of this model. Based on the performance of this thing and the previous investigation, it can be concluded that the probes in this building are at a fixed angle and will not always be in a patrol state like those outside. Someone must control them to turn the angle.

The probe has a large coverage. Tianyi built a virtual three-dimensional model in the computer, which was accurately measured in centimeters of the lobby of the building. The camera was installed, the lens angle and the visual width. The conclusion was that he had to climb tightly against the wall. The length and width of the portable refrigerator were also used as a ruler here, pushing it horizontally in front of the face. If the body sticks out, it may enter the edge of the camera lens if it exceeds forty centimeters.

Tianyi wriggled forward like a bug. It took him five minutes to turn to a corridor next to him. He felt much more relaxed here and could sit against the wall and take a breath.

The security measures of this building are actually very loose, and you can see from the night shift that you only have a guard who does not patrol. The cameras in the building are far less than those in the Louvre Museum. In this building, except for the toilet, basically every inch of the ground is within the surveillance range. But it is not that strict here. After all, there is no valuable artwork to steal in this building, and things used for research will be put back to the museum at night. The only passage leading to the museum here requires an iris scan to pass.

Tianyi is not a gunsmith. He is a person with a very good sense of direction and very sensitive to building structure. He took off his head hood and put on night vision goggles and he quickly marched in the dark corridor. Every time he went to a strange corner, he would first use a very thin wire conduit to poke out from the base of the wall to see if there were any camera probes. This kind of electronic "periscope" product was used in military about 80 years ago. It was widely used when rescuing hostages or arresting armed gangsters. Before rushing into a room, the special police team would put this into the crack of the door to investigate the general situation inside the house. However, by the end of the 21st century, this thing could be found in many black markets and even on street stalls, and was unanimously favored by the majority of voyeuristic gangsters.

Of course that was off topic. In short, Tianyi cleverly avoided every camera probe on the route, and in the end he had to deal with the one facing the door of the passage.

There was a camera here that he expected, so Tianyi had already thought of a way to deal with it. He used two iron wires to lengthen a pair of cutters, and leaned against the wall. He cut the wires of the probe without entering the lens.

The guard in the guard room soon discovered that one of the many monitors had turned into a snowflake. He leaned closer and looked, frowned, put down the coffee and electronic readers in his hand, took a bunch of keys from the wall, and walked out of the guard room.

"Captain, ah, it's me. There is a camera here that suddenly has no picture. What? Ah... I don't know, I'm on the way, it may be just a mechanical failure. I'll check it and report it to you." The guard said a few words to the captain of the guard who was on duty today, and held the flashlight in his other hand and walked towards Tianyi's place.

When he came here, he naturally didn't see anyone, but there was something obviously on the ground. The guard couldn't help but feel alert. He first used a flashlight to look around, then looked back at the corridor behind him, as if he was in a horror movie and would be killed by the black shadows that could be rushed out at any time. He swallowed and slowly moved the light of the flashlight to the thing.

When you see this, you will definitely think that if there is shit on the ground, it is a god-made one. Unfortunately, it is not.

"What's the thing..." the guard muttered, took a few steps closer, squatted down, and saw clearly that the thing on the ground was actually a bat.

The bat was dead and there was no scar on the surface. The guard touched it with his fingers and felt that the bat's corpse was a little cool. He used a flashlight to illuminate the camera probe directly above the corpse, and saw that the wire was broken.

"I've heard of rat biting wires...bats will do this?" He scratched his head, picked up the intercom and called again: "Captain, yes, it's me, I've seen it. It seems that a bat bit off the wire. Oh, yes, this is not a joke. The body of that thing is right at my feet, what? Can't you wait for the cleaner to get it tomorrow? Oh, okay, I'll throw it into the trash can, but I'm not responsible for cleaning the floor or something."

The guard complained to himself, took out a tissue and picked up the bat and took it away.

At this moment, in the corridor between the museum and this building, Tianyi had thrown the portable refrigerator at his feet, holding a thickened test tube filled with liquid, and the liquid was still soaking a person's eyes.

Tianyi took a step to the electronic door opposite him. He knew very well that after opening the door, he would be exposed to the camera, so he put on a black mask outside his night vision goggles again.

After adjusting his breathing and doing several preparatory activities as if he was decent, he knew that the next one was the real test.
