Chapter 76 Burning Cars

Secret agent 008 stopped his motorcycle on a sharp uphill bend, turned off the lights, and left the engine running.The luminous hand of the watch points to exactly 1 o'clock at night.In another 5 minutes, the car of the enemy headquarters liaison officer going to base K to send a new missile configuration order will pass here.In order to steal this secret document, 008 sneaked into the country half a month ago.

This road is a dedicated road leading to the K base located on the mountain, so there are very few vehicles passing by at night.

Soon, the light of headlights appeared in the darkness in the distance.When the car reached fifteen or sixteen meters away, 008 turned on the lights and suddenly went up to block the other party's way.The other party was caught off guard, and hurriedly turned the steering wheel to apply the brakes, but the car did not stop. The car smashed through the protective barrier and fell into a valley about [-] meters deep.It was thought that the impact of the car would set the gasoline on fire, but the car rolled over two or three times, hitting rocks and coming to a stop.

008 hid the motorcycle in the grass beside the road, then picked up the gasoline container prepared in advance and went down to the valley.The liaison officer was dead on the steering wheel.A black leather bag fell out of the shattered car window. 008 found the key from the liaison officer, opened the leather bag, took pictures of the confidential documents, put the documents back into the bag as they were and threw them into the car, poured the gasoline in the container on the car, and lit it with a lighter.The car was surrounded by raging fire.

008 returned to the road with an empty gasoline container, quickly got on his motorcycle and left.

The next day, 008 was relieved to see that the car was completely burnt down and the body and purse were burned to ashes on the TV news.

008 received an emergency order immediately after sending the film with confidential documents to the intelligence department of his country.The content of the order: The enemy has become suspicious of the accident, started a secret investigation, and returned to the country immediately.

If the enemy found out that the overturning accident was caused by a conspiracy, they would definitely change their plans, and the information they obtained would be worthless.

"I acted very cautiously, how could I leave my feet?" 008 couldn't help talking to himself.

008 reflected on his actions in the middle of the night, and was sure that there were no negligent mistakes from the beginning to the end, and even the motorcycle tire marks that blocked the car's progress were completely removed.So what evidence was left behind to arouse the other party's suspicion?He couldn't figure it out.

What mistakes did he make, you know?

[Answer] When investigating the burned car, it was found that the pointer of the fuel gauge was pointing to close to zero, indicating that the fuel tank was almost out of fuel before the car fell over.Therefore, even if it falls into a valley and ignites the gasoline, it will not burn the corpse and the car body to ashes. It is a failure to pour gasoline on 008 and ignite it.
