Chapter 554: Gunshots in the Museum

"Sir, please control your emotions. Your blood pressure just now..." The private doctor noticed the changes in blood pressure and heartbeat, and saw Philnet's pale face and trembling lips, so he had to remind him.

Philnet ignored him, but closed his eyes and took two deep breaths.

He motioned to the butler next to him to hand over the phone.

Picking up the phone, Philnet dialed a number and said in a low but calm voice: "Dear Lao Mo, I want to rest... I want to have a good and peaceful sleep."

The butler next to him was secretly shocked when he heard it.

He has worked in Philnet's house for more than 30 years. He has been serving this super rich man since he was young, which also made him know many unknown sides of Philnet, such as the "Lao Mo" on the phone.

Laomo Holfidelis is a rather mysterious person. He has been to the Fernette family only a few times. Even the housekeeper doesn't know what he does. The only impression is that he is very well dressed and seems to have a serious obsession with cleanliness. He never eats anything in this house. Even if he drinks a sip of water, he will never reach out to touch the water cup. He is even unwilling to reach out to push the door of the Fernette family, probably because he thinks there are bacteria on the door handle.

The servants used to think that Mr. Laomo was a magician or a spiritualist, because every time before he came, Fernette was the most melancholy, facing the greatest crisis and unable to sleep, and every time he came, Fernette would quickly regain his calmness and smile.

Mr. has indeed not slept well for many days. I hope he can fall into a sweet dream soon this time.

Seeing Phil Knight hang up the phone, the butler breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Mo is here, and it feels like Mr. will be in a good mood next...

Seeing Phil Knight close his eyes again, the butler hurriedly stepped forward and reminded him again: "Sir, you are sober..."

Red wine helps sleep...

Besides, 1982 Lafite is Phil Knight's favorite. Although there are countless good wines in the underground winery at home, there are still not many bottles of 1982 Lafite.

That year, only a few thousand bottles of wine were produced in total. Drink one less bottle. Now those on the market are all fakes.

It is a great waste to open such a bottle of wine but not drink it. If I don't remind him, Phil Knight will definitely be angry afterwards.

What the butler didn't expect was that Phil Knight ignored him and still lay on the recliner with his eyes closed. I don't know if he didn't hear it.

The atmosphere was a bit weird, and the butler was sweating a little. He was wondering whether to leave first, but he saw Philnet suddenly opened his eyes and gestured to him with the bottle in his hand.

The butler quickly handed it over, but Philnet took the precious wine in his hand and looked at it for a long time, then smashed it to the ground.

Crash!

The glass bottle shattered, and the deep red wine stained the white carpet red.

"Do you want me to die?" Philnet asked the butler with a ferocious face but calm tone, scaring the butler to sweat profusely and at a loss.

Philnet squeezed out a syllable from his throat: "Get out!"

The butler was frightened and quickly crawled on the ground to clean up. He didn't even dare to call the maid to clean up.

... The gentleman's mood did not improve because of the appearance of Mr. Laomo. It seems that this matter is not so simple.

G3 will be played on the 26th, and G4 will have to wait until the 29th.

More and more fans on the Internet began to support the Supersonics.

Although many people supported the Cavaliers with the idea of ​​defeating the Supersonics and not letting Asians stand on the top of the basketball empire at the beginning, when Nike's various means against the Supersonics this season were exposed, a large number of neutral fans began to rationalize.

Especially in a country with a particularly developed economy, when the granary is full, people know etiquette. When the material pursuit reaches the limit, what they pursue is often the spirit, which makes people always habitually sympathize with the weak and denounce injustice.

When this emotion brewed, it soon surpassed the so-called "national pride". The voices of most neutral fans on the Internet now are: the powerful America does not need to rely on basketball to prove its dominance, nor does it need to rely on injustice to maintain this deformed sense of superiority. What we should do is to give applause to the Supersonics, because their existence will only inspire us to have more and better players.

Of course, there are still people who support the Cavaliers, although the number is much less than before...

The reason is also very sufficient.

Everyone in the Cavaliers fought hard, including Artest who was hospitalized. He was just used because he wanted to win. These dirty things have nothing to do with the Cavaliers players.

Secondly, the Cavaliers now have Lanny, who is the first to systematically summarize the tactics of the Supersonics and named it the quite appropriate small ball tactics, which is a precedent for organizing a new tactical form for the NBA. At the same time, his small-scale space tactics and double tower tactics did cause great trouble to the Supersonics in G3. If it weren't for Lin Dong's outbreak, maybe they really won the key G3 at the home court of the Supersonics.

Such a high-level coach is matched with high-level players. They are also fighting for honor, which makes it difficult for you not to have expectations for them.

Of course, there is a more important point.

Although the league did not open some betting, the trend led by the 150 million viewership has led to almost all major casinos in the United States opening secret betting. There are too many people participating in the betting, and the scores range from 4:0 to 4:3.

The odds of the Cavaliers are too high. Everyone believes that they will be defeated 4:0, so even if they are defeated by the Supersonics 4:1, the Cavaliers still have 3.7 times the odds. As for the Cavaliers turning the tables and winning the championship, the odds are as high as 12.9:1, which makes many gamblers who like to take risks almost bet their fortunes.

They don't care about the Supersonics winning the championship, nor do they care about defending the honor and pride of American basketball, but they are extremely eager to see the Cavaliers win even one game... Then many people will get rich.

This group of people have become the absolute staunch supporters of the Cavaliers. Their voices have been the loudest on the Internet in the past two days. They have made various tactical analyses, various position analyses, and even psychological analyses. They have even considered the situation where the league intervened in the hope of selling more tickets and creating more ratings. They even fanned the flames on the Internet and shouted "Such a high-rated game should not end in four games", and madly hinted at the league.

As for some more radical ones...

On the evening of the 27th, a fuel bottle was thrown into the God Arena of the Supersonics. Although it was discovered in time by the security guards and did not cause much damage, and the Seattle State Police also arrested the troublemaker who threw the fuel bottle that night, it still made the Supersonics flustered for a while.

After overnight interrogation and investigation, the fan spent 20,000 US dollars to buy the Cavaliers 2:4 Supersonics, so he tried to use this method to bring huge pressure to all the Supersonics players and disrupt their game state.

The case was solved quickly, and the reasons and results were very sufficient. The matter was solved, but a feeling of impending storm also lingered over the entire Seattle.

Fans who support the Cavaliers seem to have gotten some hints from this incident. Although no action has been taken, various remarks attacking the Supersonics and creating riots in Seattle have already been heard on the Internet.

The Seattle State Police can feel an atmosphere of "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop". The whole city is constantly strengthening its vigilance, and the state police are dispatched to Seattle to maintain order, implement curfews and other measures.

But even so, something happened again on the 28th, and it was a big deal.

Seattle World Expo State Flag Plaza, Space Needle...

It is located next to the God Arena, only a few hundred meters away from each other. Standing on the top of any building here, you can fully appreciate the full view of the God Arena.

The Space Needle is shaped like a flying saucer and stands on a thin and long metal. As one of the most iconic buildings in Seattle, it hosted the Aviation World Expo in 1962. Since then, it has been used as a museum to display various American aerospace achievements. It is also one of the favorite places for Seattle people to bring their children to play.

It was Saturday, and it was summer vacation, so there was a constant stream of parents and children visiting.

Next to the main entrance of the God Arena is the No. 1 Museum in the State Flag Square. Although there are three floors, the floor height of the ground floor is quite high, about 20 meters high. This is the Boeing Space Museum exhibition area. In addition to various aerospace facilities and 1:1 proportional aircraft models, the most fascinating project is their 10-minute virtual journey through the Milky Way.

It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning. There were countless children waiting to experience this project in the museum, and a long queue formed. A dad carrying a big backpack and holding a little girl suddenly became awkward, and his face flushed a little.

"Excuse me, can you help me take care of the child first?" He asked a passing staff member, and smiled awkwardly and said, "I want to go to the bathroom, but the line is too long..."

The waitress looked at this handsome face and laughed. This project really takes a long time every time. Similar things happen in the museum every day. She has seen too many of them.

She looked at the time, took the child's hand, smiled and pointed the direction of the toilet to the dad, reminding him: "Look at this speed, it will be your turn in about 20 minutes, hurry up."

"Okay, thank you!" The man was relieved and turned and hurried towards the toilet.

The waitress squatted beside the girl and said with a smile: "Your dad is going to the toilet, can you play with your sister for a while?"

"Okay, but he is not my dad, he is Uncle Pete, he is very nice." The little girl blinked her big eyes and answered, her innocent look made the waitress laugh, and she also had a different feeling about the handsome boy just now. In this country, a man who is willing to sacrifice his vacation to take his niece out to play alone must be a good man picked out of a thousand.

But when I looked back, the other party was probably really anxious, and he could not see any trace.

At this time, Pete had already walked to the stairs leading to the toilet on the second floor. The anxiety on his face had turned into coldness. He did not enter the toilet when he turned the corner, but continued to go up to the third floor, then turned through a secret door and turned into the stairs of the emergency passage.

There were no cameras here, and he seemed to know all the structures here.

He did not touch any railings or walls beside the stairs, keeping his hands absolutely "clean". He quickly came to the top of the third floor with his backpack, took out a pair of white gloves from his trouser pocket and put them on, then he took out an electronic device and easily opened the password door lock that locked the rooftop door.

There was no one on the rooftop.

Pete closed the door and quickly took off the big backpack on his back. The backpack, which was already a little worn and white, contained a completely disassembled XM109 equipped with the most advanced Barrett optical rangefinder aiming system. It was a product designed by Barrett only last year. It is also difficult to get such a gun even in the United States where guns are free.

There is no such fine and professional gun box as in the movie... That thing is a burden, just like I can't wait to tell the world that I am a killer.

That is exclusive to idiots. Really experienced killers never carry boxes. That kind of thing is both eye-catching and eye-catching. The disassembled gun barrel is tied up with sackcloth and put into a ball. Putting it in such a parent-child backpack is the best cover.

The details had been assembled long ago, and he only needed to put them together. It took him only a dozen seconds to finish it, and then he found a hidden angle on the rooftop. This place was backed by the corridor exit where he had just entered the rooftop, which just blocked the view of the Cosmic Needle behind him, but the entrance to the God Arena was right in front of him.

After setting up the gun position and testing the distance and wind direction, the whole process took only two minutes.

Pete looked at his watch, 10:59... He then pulled the brim of his hat, looked at the door of the God Arena in the scope, and waited patiently without moving.

Soon, at 11 o'clock, a Bumblebee sports car drove over from the other side of the road and stopped at the door of the God Arena. A young man in casual clothes with a sun hat got out of the car and threw the car keys to the arena staff who had already come to meet him.

Pete squinted his eyes and saw the young man's face clearly through the scope.

The young man with the sun hat was Lin Dong!

Confirm the target.

At this time, the optical rangefinder showed the most accurate data.

Distance 1217 meters, wind direction southeast, wind force 2...

Many people came out of the gate at this time, talking and laughing with Lin Dong, and there seemed to be many media. Although there were many people, Lin Dong's height of just over 2 meters was still unobstructed.

High technology and hard work, or such an unprepared object... This is much easier than what he experienced on the battlefield when he was an international mercenary.

The muzzle was slightly adjusted, and his finger was lightly on the trigger. Until Lin Dong walked to the top of the stairs, the adjustment of the barrel was completed, and Pete pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

Despite the silencer, the Barrett still made a slight airburst sound, and the strong recoil hit Pete's strong body, just making his right shoulder shake back.

3, 2, 1...

He stared at the sight intently, letting the bullet fly in the air for a while.

0!

Lin Dong's head suddenly tilted in the camera, and the bullet hit the back of his head accurately.

Lin Dong fell forward, and the crowd cried out in surprise, while the people around Lin Dong immediately surrounded him in panic, as if they were protecting a president, but...

A smile finally hung on the corner of Pete's mouth. What's the point of surrounding him? What's the use?

He didn't look in that direction for a second, but quickly disassembled the gun into several large pieces and put them into a black garbage bag, then opened his big backpack, took out a droopy plastic bag and unplugged it.

Air instantly poured in, making the deformed plastic bulge up. When it was put into the backpack, although the original gun was missing, the backpack still looked the same as it was originally bulging.

He quickly put on the backpack and carried the black bag containing the gun away.

Carefully relocked the door of the building, and then deliberately threw the black bag containing the sniper rifle from the garbage pipe on the side of the third floor, then returned to the second floor bathroom to wash his face, making his face and hands wet, and then returned to the exhibition hall.

Taking over the child's hand that the waitress helped to take care of, Pete seemed in a good mood.

The little girl yelled that she wanted to ride a virtual spaceship. Pete was not at all impatient with this little girl who was just seen on the side of the road because her parents were reluctant to spend money to bring her here to play.

The state police would not block this place. It would take at least ten minutes for the state police to rush here after receiving the report. Through observation and trajectory prediction, they locked this building as the target. It was at least half an hour after the shooting. The state sheriff would not be stupid enough to think that the murderer was still waiting for him here.

So it is safe to stay here. Leaving in a hurry may be a flaw that may be discovered.

Acting should be done in full. How can you refuse such a simple request from a little girl?

Peter agreed with a smile while holding the little girl's hand. He actually didn't have mysophobia, he was just always cautious.

He was afraid of leaving fingerprints... It was an old professional disease.
