When Bai Bing checked on the roof in the evening, although she knew the location of the secret room and how to open it, she did not see what was going on in the secret room, and she did not know that Qian Zhongze and his wife would sleep in the secret room. So she entered the secret room.
When he found no one in the tent, Bai Bing panicked and had to come out and ask Lin Jue for help.
Lin Jue was stunned and speechless. How could he encounter such a situation? This was an unexpected surprise.
"Go and have a look." Lin Jue didn't know what was going on, so he could only go and have a look. The two of them jumped off the high wall. When they landed, Bai Bing reached out to support Lin Jue, making Lin Jue land lightly.
As for the loud noise, the two people touched the back window of the main house. The edge of the window had been opened. Bai Bing had entered from here before, and the two of them still climbed into the house from here.
The room was pitch dark, and it took a long time for my eyes to adapt, before I could distinguish the layout of the room from the dim light coming in from the window. The two people came to the big bed, Bai Bing gently lifted the curtains, and the two quilts on the bed were straightened.
Stacked neatly, it was indeed empty.
"It's strange. What is going on? Are they alert?" Bai Bing said in a low voice.
Lin Jue shook his head slightly and said softly: "Impossible. If they are prepared, then this place is a trap now, and there should be an ambush. How can there be no movement."
Bai Bing nodded, feeling that this was true. If it was a trap, it might have been activated by now, and the ambush outside should have appeared. How could it be possible to remain so calm?
Lin Jue thought for a while and said softly: "It's possible that Qian Zhongze won't go back to his room to sleep late at night, but it's impossible for his wife to not sleep. She was still there in the evening, but now there is no trace. I don't think she will leave home."
Go out."
Bai Bing frowned and said, "Where is that person? I haven't seen anyone."
Lin Jue couldn't figure it out either, so he asked softly: "Where is the secret room?"
Bai Bing walked to the south wall and stretched out his hand to grope on the wall. Suddenly he touched a slightly moving bulge, and with a flick of his finger, a small keyhole was revealed.
"Right here, use the key..." Halfway through Bai Bing's words, Lin Jue suddenly waved his hand to stop her. Bai Bing stopped in horror, and the two of them held their breaths, only to hear a series of strange noises coming from the darkness.
The sound was like thunder, like the tide, or like the howling of a wild beast. It seemed to be very regular, but it also seemed to have no regularity at all, and it was extremely weird.
Bai Bing's expression changed, and he looked at Lin Jue angrily, not knowing what to do. Lin Jue stood up on tiptoes, reached out and gently removed Bai Bing's hand from the wall. There was a wipe, and the small cover on the wall
The reset covered the keyhole. The strange sound suddenly disappeared without any sound.
Bai Bing felt even more strange when he saw Lin Jue opened the small cover again, and then the voice appeared again.
Bai Bing leaned into Lin Jue's ear with a white face and whispered: "What's going on? What kind of sound is this? It's so scary. Is there a wild beast guarding the secret room?"
Lin Jue tried his best to hold back his laughter, nodded slightly and said: "I'm afraid it's as you expected, there are monsters here. No matter, let's put on the incense. This small hole is just right to blow the incense in."
Bai Bing's heart was pounding, but she was not afraid of people. Unknown ghosts and monsters were the scariest thing. As a martial artist, she was also afraid of these unknown things like monsters and monsters. She then handed the fragrant bamboo tube to Lin Jue. Lin Jue poured the powdery substance on the
Blow up the slanted opening at one end of the bamboo tube and light it. Quickly insert the thin bamboo tube into the keyhole, puff your cheeks and slowly blow air in. The airflow stirs up the ignited smoke and slowly seeps in from the small holes.
A little bit leaked out of the small hole, Lin Jue took a small sip, and his head immediately became dizzy, so he hurriedly breathed. He was secretly surprised by the domineering nature of this fragrance.
After blowing two tubes of incense, the two people sat aside and waited quietly. They heard the sound of watch drums slowly coming from outside. It was already the third watch and the fourth watch. The fourth watch was approaching. There was only more than an hour before dawn.
At this time of the year, dawn breaks in the east at the fifth watch, and time is already a little tight. After all, we still have to rescue people, so I didn't expect that so much time was wasted here.
"It's almost done. I think it's okay. Even if there are monsters inside, they should be stunned." Lin Jue stood up and said.
"The problem is, how can we get in? We don't have a key." Bai Bing frowned.
Lin Jue whispered: "This is not a keyhole. Have you ever seen such a deep keyhole? You said she used a foot-long key to open the secret room door. How can there be such a long key in the world? This kind of secret room,
In fact, there is a bolt inside. To open the door, just use a long and thin object to reach in and pick up the iron bolt or hasp, and it should be able to open."
Bai Bing was a little doubtful. Lin Jue walked to the big bed and stretched out his hand to pull off a tent hook. The tent hook was made of copper, slender and bendable. Lin Jue straightened it with his bare hands and turned it into a
A straight, thin copper rod more than a foot long.
"I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to use brute force. I hope I don't have to do that, as it will alarm the people in this house." Lin Jue muttered and walked to the small hole in the wall, opened the cover, and
Exposing the dark hole, he slowly stretched the copper rod in, and slowly tested it based on his feeling. After working for a long time, it had no effect. When Bai Bing was about to say that this method would not work, he suddenly saw Lin Jue pulling out the copper rod.
, bend the top end into a small hook shape at the entrance of the hole, put it into the small hole again, and then pull it gently. There is a snapping sound inside.
"It's done?" Bai Bing said in surprise.
Lin Jue smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The design is a bit clever. I said that there is no place to put it when I put it in, but I can always feel something. It turns out to be a buckle connected by a rope. The small hook hooks the rope and pulls it, and the door bolt
It fell off. The design is quite clever, and it will be useless no matter how hard you use any brute force. If you force it and the rope breaks, it will become even more impossible to enter. It will only take a few seconds."
Bai Bing showed an expression of admiration. Lang Jun knew so much. Although this was not an earth-shattering event, from these small things, he knew that Lang Jun was brave, careful, and good at thinking. If it were him, he would not understand this even if he spent a whole day.
No matter what, I can't open this door.
"We're in, ready." Lin Jue whispered.
Bai Bing pulled out the green flute with a scratching sound, and the thin blade in front of the flute also popped out.
Lin Jue said in astonishment: "What?"
Bai Bing said: "What if the monster guarding inside is not stunned?"
Lin Jue couldn't help it anymore and chuckled: "Idiot, where did the monster come from? The strange noise before was the sound of human snoring. Qian Zhongze and his wife were sleeping in a secret room. The sound of snoring was really strange sometimes.
, let alone two people snoring together. You are so stupid and cute."
Bai Bing stamped his feet and said, "You knew earlier but you came to lie to me. How bad are you?"
Lin Jue chuckled and didn't answer, and applied force with his hands. However, he saw that the wall caved in and made a scratching sound. When it reached a certain angle, it slid to one side, revealing the dark entrance to the secret room. There was a fragrant smell inside, and Lin Jue
Busy also covered his mouth and nose with a black cloth, and walked in holding a fire stick.
The situation inside soon became clear. The couple had been sleeping soundly, but now the incense was taking effect and they were snoring loudly. No matter how hard they tried, they would not wake up for a while. Bai Bing finally believed the strange noise before.
It was indeed the snoring of the two couples. It was like the tide, like galloping horses, like thunder, like the neighing of animals. It was ever-changing and incredible.
Without further ado, the two of them immediately began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to search for them. It was too late to find the keys for several large wooden boxes, so they cut open the copper locks. Soon after, Lin Jue screamed in surprise and took out a few large wooden boxes from a small nanmu box.
A piece of yellowed paper comes.
"Yes, this is it. I got it." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"I got it too." Bai Bing raised her hand, and a jade bracelet exuding green and warm light was already held in her hand.
"Let's go, it's getting late. We can't delay any more. Things should be restored to their original state. I hope they won't notice it tomorrow morning." Lin Jue waved his hand.
The two simply cleaned up and got out. When Lin Jue slowly closed the stone door of the secret room, the moment the stone door closed, there was a clicking sound of the door bolt. Pushing harder, it didn't move at all. Sure enough, it was like Lin Jue.
Jue said that the iron bolt inside has a doorway, and it will automatically lock when the door is closed. To open it, you need to use a thin hook to hook the rope and pull it out of position. The reset of the position is semi-automatic. In these days, it can be said that it is the work of a skilled craftsman.
This is actually not surprising. There are so many skilled craftsmen in this world. Some people even made wooden birds that can fly in the sky. Building such a small mechanism is actually nothing.
…
It's half past the fourth watch, the last dark moment before dawn. The long street is even more silent, and the whole city is sleeping.
On Zhonghe Street, outside the ten-foot-high fence in the backyard of Wanhua Building, Lin Jue and Bai Bing approached quietly. The high fence could not faze Lin Jue and Bai Bing. Lin Jue took out the hook he was carrying and threw it on the wall.
, after the soft jingling sound, tighten the rope and the hook has been firmly hooked.
"I'll go up first and take a look at what's going on inside." Bai Bing said softly.
Lin Jue nodded, Bai Bing grabbed the hook and climbed to the top of the wall in three or two steps. He lay down and observed it carefully. The courtyard was quiet and dark, except for a few rooms in the middle courtyard.
The room was brightly lit, and people were busy coming and going. There were fewer customers in the second half of the night, so there was only a kitchen and some handymen on duty, and it was not as busy as before the third watch.
Bai Bing looked toward the northeast corner of the woodshed. It was dark there and she couldn't see anything. But Bai Bing knew that there must be someone crouching near the woodshed because she was almost discovered when she came to check last night. Fortunately, there was a guy
After revealing his body, Bai Bing alertly found the positions of five or six new guards.
Everything seems to be normal now. Bai Bing waved to the bottom of the wall. Lin Jue grabbed the knot on the rope. Under Bai Bing's guidance, he climbed up the wall smoothly. The two of them did not dare to jump down directly.
Turn the direction of the rope hook, slide down the rope to the ground, and settle on the flowers and trees under the wall.
"How to do it? There must be someone hiding next to the woodshed. Do you want me to go and deal with them first?" Bai Bing whispered.
Lin Jue stared in the direction of the dark woodshed. Although he could not see the specific situation clearly, he knew that there must be human hands hidden in the darkness. As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Jue felt that the atmosphere was very strange. This yard
