Chapter 56: The Puzzle (21)
It was close to three o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the apartment where we had been hiding. Valery pulled over to the side of the road, and Paul's car pulled up at the junction of the same path that Pyatov had taken me to before.
I got off the station and looked left and right on the side of the road, the street lights were dim, the temperature was very low at the moment, there were no people on the road, only two people who had drunk too much were shaking and singing and walking along the road.
Paul was soon on the road, and I walked over to him and pointed to the apartment building in front of us, "This is it." ”
Paul looked up at the apartment building, then looked back at the building across from it. "Let the gardener lie in ambush on the opposite building. From this side, you should be able to see everything in this area. ”
I looked back at the building Paul was talking about, this building was diagonally opposite the apartment building, it was supposed to be the same building for residents, but it wasn't as tall as ours, it should be one or two stories shorter.
"On top of this ... Where are you going to hide the others? I asked.
Paul looked at me and said, "That depends on where you're going to meet that guy." It's better to be sure of the place so I can set it up. ”
I looked left and right, "Where to meet." Where do you park? Inside that path. ”
"Inside the path? Isn't it on this side of the road? Paul pointed to the path in front of him.
"Wouldn't the roadside target be too big. We're going to arrest that then. Where did you let us hide when we started? I said.
Paul nodded and said, "If you're going to meet in the path, then I'll put people in the apartment building." When it's time for you to do it, you're going to attack those people from the side of the apartment building, so they don't have any chance to meet their targets. Paul said, gesturing upward, "And the gardener." Going down from a high place, the opponent will be very passive. ”
"Yes. How to retreat then? I asked.
Paul pointed to the path, "Where can I drive out from there?" ”
"I don't know. I didn't go through it. However, when I was hiding here, Pyatov told me that if something happened, I would just drive along the road and not try to turn around. I said.
So that means the road leads to other places? The point is that it's not a dead end. Paul said.
"Yes. That's how it should be. I nodded.
Paul walked up to our car and knocked on the window of the cab, "Valery, drive along the side road to see if it's passable, what the road is like, and where it can go." ”
"Understood." Valery said yes and immediately drove the car down the road.
"Do you think the other party will come to this path the way we think?" Paul asked.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. They can't possibly know we're going to attack Ogier as soon as we get them, do they? Wasn't that guy on the phone in the phone rush to catch us? I said.
Paul nodded, "Then let Valery park the car directly in the side road, and he will hide in the car." After you get your hands on it, you just get in the car and don't worry about anything. ”
"And how do you get there?" I asked.
Paul sneered and said, "If they came according to the plan and appeared on this road." Then they will have a lot of casualties after they do it. Then it's not us who should think about how to leave, it's them. ”
"Okay. But I still think we'd better leave as soon as we get it
Okay. If not, let alone succeed. I said as I remembered the truck, the one that had been parked behind the apartment building, "And. We still have a truck in the back of the building, and I think it should still be there now. ”
"Trucks? What does the truck have to do with our retreat? Paul asked.
"Let's go check it out first. Hurry up, this certainly has something to do with retreat. I said as I pulled around the back of the apartment building.
After going around to the other side, sure enough, I saw a black shadow in the shape of a truck parked under the reflection of the dim street lamp. I pointed to the truck and said, "At this time, Pyatov and Ivan arranged for the families to escape. I pointed to the second floor, "That's our room." From that room you can jump directly onto this truck, which is an air cushion. The keys to the truck were still on hand. I pulled out a key, took out the key to the truck, and handed it to Paul.
Paul took the key and looked at me, "You're like a storekeeper. So many keys. ”
"Do you think I want to do that?"
Paul took the key, walked to the truck, climbed into the truck bed to take a look, then opened the truck door and started the truck. After confirming that the truck could start, he turned off the engine and got out of the car and checked the tires again.
"Looks good. In addition to the air cushion, there is some lack of air. Paul said, "Then I'll have people get out of here." And the gardener doesn't have to go to the opposite floor. It's right up there in this apartment building. Originally, I needed someone to cover people in or near the apartment building from another angle, but now it seems that I don't need it anymore. ”
"By the way, there's a ladder in the room in this building. Why don't you set it up again? I asked.
"Of course. I'll have to take those guys with me to take a look. Let's go back quickly. Paul said.
When we got back to the side of the road, Valery had already driven the car back, he lowered the window and waited for us to get closer, and then said, "There is nothing wrong with this road, we will be able to drive out of this area soon." ”
"Good!" Paul nodded, walked briskly to his car and called everyone else down. He then led the men to the apartment building.
I went back inside the car and looked at Ogier. At this moment, Ogier looked very uncomfortable. I don't know if it's because of the injuries on the body, or because of drunkenness, or if both of them are also in danger of imminent danger. In short, he seemed very uneasy. And Lukovic, who was beside him, kept looking at him coldly.
"You're going to call Kutcher in a moment. We're planning to meet him on the same path you've just walked. I don't care what you do, I'm going to get that guy into this path. Do you understand? I spoke.
"Understood. . . I understand. Ogier nodded quickly.
"Me and him," I pointed to Lukovic, "and the two of us are with you." We'll do our best to keep you safe. After we got it, we got into the car and left quickly. ”
"Then should I let that guy bring a few fewer men?" Ogier asked.
"Huh. Do your best. If he is willing to come alone, of course it is better. I smiled.
"Okay... Good.. I.. I understand. When do we start? ”
I looked out of the car, "Wait a minute." Wait until our people have arranged it. Don't worry, it's still a while before dawn. ”
