Chapter 123

Then he heard footsteps approaching within 20 minutes. Under the manhole cover, William secretly looked at a guy in black and a hat with two plastic buckets in his hands. He quietly walked to the small card and placed the tire I touched it, got the keys and gold coins, opened the door and drove away.

As expected by William, a car quietly followed. William knew that the car must be someone from the Secret Service, but now this car has nothing to do with him. Even if the scavenger is caught, these people who specialize in cleaning up must have a way and reason to explain it.

One hundred and seventy-eight chapters another culprit

Watching the car drive away, William was truly relieved, and opened the portal to return to the conference room of the National Archives. William lay directly on the ground and waited quietly.

On the other side, the Secret Service director Sedes and Church, who were excited and thought they had caught a clue, excitedly led a dozen of his subordinates and followed Xiaoka to the east.

But the more they chased them, the less sure they felt. After 4 hours of following the map, they were almost at the beach. The suspicious agents followed for another half an hour to a small pier by the sea.

The driver finally stopped, it was 7am now, Sedes and the church parked the car in a green belt more than 200 meters away and hid behind the other cars, expecting to catch the person who connected. A few minutes later, a guy in black with a hat and head down stepped out of the car.

The man in black covered his face with his hands and waved in the direction of Cedes and the others, then turned and rushed towards the pier.

"Oops, he found us long ago, go after us, don't let him run away," Cedes was shocked, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.

The detectives who were driving immediately put the brakes on the accelerator and chased the man in black.

Seds knew at a glance that it must be gasoline, and his heart sank. He knew that they had been tricked. The man in black deliberately led them here. Before reaching the pier, he saw a speedboat rushing fast. out of the pier.

The furious Cydrus slammed his clothes to the ground, cursing loudly, and the surrounding detective doors also looked depressed, only the church looked calm and lowered his head in contemplation.

Thinking that the clue was what the church came up with, he asked with a trace of luck in his heart, "Church, did you think of something?"

The church nodded, "I'm thinking about why these people brought us here, it doesn't take such a hurry to get rid of this car, our people have checked these two cars, and there is nothing suspicious in them, etc. In the last few days and dozens of days, our patience will be exhausted, just find a thief or a homeless person to deal with it, there is no need for such trouble.”

Everyone immediately understood, yes, what exactly are these people doing?

The cell phone on Sedes, who had a growing ominous feeling in his heart, suddenly rang. When he took out the cell phone and saw that it was Agent Lily, he secretly thumped inwardly, it was broken, something must have happened.

With a trembling hand, Cedes pulled the church to the side, pressed the amplification key, and heard Lily's anxious voice coming in: "Sir, something happened, we were all played, I just checked the outside of the archives. The camera found that a black shadow flashed by. After the technicians zoomed in, it was blurry, but at 3:30 in the morning, a person in black and a hood came out of the archives with a painting bucket on his back. Finally disappeared in the parking lot.

The founding declaration should never have been out of the National Archives, it's always been in the archives, God, these people are really thoughtful, they must have planned it for a long time, what Ben Ghez stole is probably fake, we What to do, sir. "

Seders and Church now understand why the gang parked that car in the parking lot.

The car is just to get their attention, and when the Secret Service finds it, the opponents lure the agents away so the people in the archives can slip out.

The church hurriedly asked anxiously, "Didn't the surveillance in the archives find the man in black?"

Lily said helplessly: "No, I just checked the surveillance with my colleagues and found no problems. The thief may have been hiding in the archives until you chased the car and then slipped away, if it weren't for that. The camera on the street caught a shadow, we didn't know the founding declaration was in the archives all the time"

The speculative Cedes was furious, "fxxk, there must be moles in the archives, otherwise they wouldn't be able to know the situation in the archives so well, Lily will check all the people in the archives for me, as long as they have a relationship with the archives. People who are related are all suspects, find him."

"Understood, sir."

Cedes hung up the phone and leaned back in the car, "Hey, it's really troublesome this time. Looking at the methods of these people, it's impossible to find the founding declaration within three days. The church does me a favor."

The church also knew that the founding declaration would disappear without a trace from now on, nodded and said, "No problem, Sedes and we have been friends for more than 20 years, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you. "

Saids showed a smile that was even uglier than crying, and said in a depressing tone: "I must have committed the blame this time. If I step down in such a disreputable manner, maybe someone will hit my family.

Church, I will give you all the resources in my hand, including the undercover agent in my hand, I will let my family go to New York to live in seclusion for a period of time, and then let them go to Switzerland when the matter is over.”

The church thought for a moment and nodded, "I can still do it just by protecting a few people from hiding for a year or two, but Sedes has not yet reached such a pessimistic time. The big deal is that you just retire and go to places like Switzerland with your family to live in seclusion. That's life."

"It's useless

Yes, the church, you also followed this case. As far as we know, there are several groups of people working on the idea of ​​the founding declaration. We don’t know how many people are peeping at the treasure. Now I really believe that the treasure exists.

The matter of the treasure will soon be known by the superiors, and many people will kill me. I can't pass this test. You go back to New York first, and I can't involve you. "

The church comforted: "There is still a chance now, Cedes, you can give up before the last moment."

Cedes smiled, "Don't console me, church, I'll fight until the last minute, looking for you is just the worst plan, I'm almost 60, it's time to arrange a back way, well, you will be in New York Go, leave this case alone, if you stay here now, maybe you will take the blame with me, don't mother-in-law, leave now."

The church heard Sedes' warning, and thought that if he really stayed here, he might actually be allowed to take over. Seeing Sedder's affirmation, there was no ink in the church.

He hugged Cedes and said regretfully, "Take care, Cedes".

"Well, you also take care, don't forget what I told you, I will put those things in the underground maintenance room in the New York train station, which is the locker we used before, the password is xxxxx".

The church nodded, he knew the locker, which he used occasionally when contacting Cedes before, "Understood, don't worry, I will wait for your news, if the worst happens, I will do as you say. Provide a safe environment for your family."

Cedes nodded and said, "Thank you, take care, church."

"You too take care." After the church finished speaking, he drove to New York.

Chapter 179 Back to New York

After watching the church leave, Cedes cheered up and said to his subordinates: "Use a computer to analyze and compare the figure of the thief, see if you can find anything, call and ask William?? Devoncie last night. Have you ever been out of the hotel, I want Ben Gez's interrogation results in half an hour, and finally issue a warrant to Ian's group, I want to find Ian's few people in one day."

"Understood, sir."

Cydrus was in a hurry, and William was still lying on the bed and soundly asleep.

Yesterday, he called the scavenger on the phone of the archives to make it more difficult for the Secret Service to track down in the future.

Carrying a painting bucket found in the archives, he deliberately walked half-down into the camera outside the archives, in order to make the Secret Service think that everything that happened before was to cover the thieves who had been hiding in the archives.

William is very confident that the suspicion on him will be lifted soon, and maybe he will be able to move freely after today.

Cydrus, who returned to Washington, listened to the report of his subordinates, and held the information given by Lily in his hand. It said that the police in Pittsburgh found the bodies of Ian and a retired archives security 5 people yesterday.

Combining what he knew about Sedes, he already had a general idea in his heart. He is now very sure that the person who stole the declaration of the founding of the country may have been staring at Ben Gez a few years or ten years ago.

Maybe Ian and the people behind the scenes were originally a group, but they were silenced in the end. Since a retired security guard was bought, there must be other traitors in the National Archives. As long as this traitor is found, it may be possible to catch up. The man behind the scenes.

At about 12 noon, William's door was slammed. Hearing the butler's voice, William rubbed his face in a daze, got up and opened the door. As soon as he walked into the living room of the hotel suite, he saw a haggard-looking Cedes standing there.

"Is something wrong? Director Cedes".

Sedders asked his subordinates as soon as he returned to Washington, and confirmed that William had not come out since he entered the room, and the cameras in the corridor also proved this.

Seeing William's sleepy look now, Cedes' doubts about him were reduced to a minimum.

This time he personally came here with the intention of wanting to befriend William, but he was about to be out of luck, thinking that befriending William might be able to help him at some point.

So Cedes tried to put on a kind smile on his tired face, "Good noon, William, I am here to officially inform you that you are free, congratulations."

"Oh, really." William showed a surprised smile on his face. He didn't expect to be able to get rid of the suspicion so quickly, so the surprised look on his face was not at all pretentious.

"What happened, Director Cedes?" William said in surprise after thinking of something after a pause: "God, you caught that killer so quickly? That class really congratulates you, Director Cedes."

He said congratulations, but the expression was true and false, and Cedes could clearly feel the disgust in William's eyes when he looked at him.

This made Cedes' face darken. It seemed that some of the previous actions had severely offended him. Now it is not so easy to win over William. He sighed in his heart and shook his head: "No, but we have determined that you have been cleared of suspicion. , I can't tell you the specific situation in detail, sorry, William, I still have something to do, I wish you good luck."

"Oh, let's go now, okay, thank you for coming in person, Director Cedes, goodbye." William and Cedes shook hands and watched the group of Cedes hurried away.
