Chapter 65
When it was ten o'clock, Mikhail and Boris took a deep breath, opened the door, and slowly got out of the car. Yakov gave the two brothers good luck with a thumbs up from inside the car. Boris and Mikhail looked up at the towering building, and walked into the lobby of the hotel side by side, but there were too many people coming in and out of the hotel, they didn't see it, and a man wearing sunglasses followed them. Walked into the lobby of the hotel.
The elevator door opened slowly, Mikhail and Boris stepped into the elevator, and pressed the floor where Frank Costello Genovese was. Just as the door of the elevator was about to close, a hand came in from the outside. The man in sunglasses apologized to Mikhail and Boris, and then walked into the elevator. He didn't choose a floor, and walked directly behind the two of them. The elevator was extremely quiet except for the sound of breathing and the sound of the elevator running. The elevator brought the three to the designated floor, and the three walked out of the elevator. The man wearing sunglasses kept following Mikhail and Boris, and Mikhail and Boris couldn't help but glance back. The guy smiled at them and slowed down a bit.
Mikhail and Boris felt that it might really be a coincidence. They found Frank Costello Genovese's room and knocked lightly on the door. An old man with a bad face opened the door, hugging Mikhail and Boris in turns without kissing each other. Although Mikhail and Boris understood what was going on in their hearts, they still had to save face. The three exchanged warm greetings at the door like relatives they hadn't seen for many years. The man wearing sunglasses just happened to pass behind Mikhail and Boris, twisted his neck slightly, and looked at them for a while.
After the man wearing sunglasses walked through the door, three people walked into the room, and the sound of the door closing came from behind the man. He stopped, turned around, and quickly ran back to the original road. Thanks to the thick carpet on the floor, the footsteps landed on the ground without making much noise. He ran to the elevator, and frantically pressed the down button. The elevator was far away from this floor, and it stopped and stopped. The man really didn't want to wait any longer. He ran into the stairwell and ran down quickly. With that, the sunglasses fell to the ground, revealing the man's angry eyes.
This man is none other than Alexander Popov who came to Gorky City to avenge the death of Nikolai Popov. Alexander Popov ran to the first floor at his fastest speed and flew out of the hotel lobby , ran behind his car parked on the side of the road. Alexander Popov opened the trunk, picked up the travel bag on the back, and ran into the opposite building without even closing the car door in a puff of smoke.
Alexander Popov still did not slow down his speed. He crossed the first floor of the building, forced his hand into the elevator door that was about to close, and squeezed his body inside. Alexander Popov pressed the button for the 13th floor. This was not a trick, but an estimated height by Alexander Popov. As early as when he was monitoring Boris downstairs, he had estimated the corresponding relationship between the floors of the two buildings. This was not Alexander Popov's prediction, but purely a professional habit of a sniper. Almost any good sniper has a keen judgment on distance, altitude, wind speed, humidity, direction, and lighting, and Alexander Popov is no exception.
Alexander Popov kept adjusting his breathing in the elevator to calm his emotions. The elevator finally reached the 13th floor, and the door of the elevator opened slowly. Alexander Popov stepped out of the elevator, and there happened to be a rough floor plan on the opposite wall. This was to remind guests of the distribution of elevators, fire escapes, and rooms, and the orientation of the floors was also marked on it.
Different people will get different information looking at this picture. Ordinary guests can find their room as soon as possible by looking at this picture, but Alexander Popov can find the sniper point he needs from this picture.
He chose a utility room facing the opposite building, which Alexander Popov quickly found. He put his ear to the door, there was no sound inside, it was very quiet. Alexander Popov casually took out two hard wires from his pocket, and opened the door lock with only a few strokes.
Alexander Popov gently closed the door from the inside, walked to the window, and poked his head out to check the situation on the other side. As expected, the room where the target is located can be seen here, but there is a blind spot, but half of Boris' face can still be seen clearly. Alexander Popov was secretly delighted. He opened the zipper of the travel bag casually, and kept his eyes on the opposite room. His hands kept taking out various parts from the travel bag to assemble the gun. At this moment, Alexander Popov's heart was very calm, and he kept repeating the words of Alexievich, a peddler on the black market in Gorky, in his mind: "Of course it's not Boris, it's his boss, an old man. .”
The old man finally showed up, and his efforts to follow Boris these days were not in vain. His mind kept repeating the scene of the three hugging at the door ten minutes ago. Although he only had a quick glance, Alexander Popov still found a lot of details. An old man, wearing an elegant Italian suit, and a luxury custom-made watch on his wrist. The most memorable thing is that face and temperament, eyebrows and eyes There is a vicious feeling in it, and the whole person can feel the aura of controlling everything when standing there.
In less than thirty seconds, the same Soviet-made SVD Dragunov semi-automatic sniper rifle was already in the hands of Alexander Popov. Different from the plot of the gun assembly in the movie, a gun can be installed within 10 seconds. The sniper rifle is a little more complicated, not only has more parts, but also has certain requirements for the precision of assembly, and additional Tool of.
Alexander Popov gently installed the magazine, slowly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and his technique was very gentle, just like playing a violin. The smell of gun oil and industrial paraffin came from the bolt. This is the habit of Alexander Popov over the years, starting with the old sniper rifle. Popov would apply paraffin wax to the bullets of his sniper rifles, which could greatly reduce the chance of jamming.
Alexander Popov raised his rifle, the barrel slowly protruded out of the window, and the crosshair on the sight was aimed at Boris, who was sitting on the sofa, since only Boris was visible from here, and he began to remain silent. Quietly waiting for the old guy to appear.
