Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

However, after waiting for a whole day, Uncle Xu still did not come to pick up Xu Chaoming. His years of experience gave him an intuitive judgment of the matter: "There must be some problem or crisis."

At this moment, he could no longer remain silent and wait.

嚓嚓

Hiss... suck...

He lit the kerosene cigarette and took a few deep puffs. The flame and smoke stained his ferocious face with strange and changing colors. The cigarette butt fell to the ground, and he stepped heavily on the burning flame, indicating his decision:

"Run!" "Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best!"

He once escaped a dangerous situation by this means.

Those contractors who once laughed at his cowardice had long been swallowed up by the weeds of time, and their graves were now covered with waist-high weeds.

At night, Uncle Xu secretly put on his clothes and hat, took out a strange device from his travel backpack, and sat in a corner to operate it. After confirming that the device was properly installed, he specially knocked on the corner with a hammer.

His determination was strong and firm, just like his determination to escape danger time and time again. He seemed to have the answer to this game.

The scattered stones and bricks were like an exquisite picture embedded in the base of the wall. Even the most careful searcher could not detect any trace.

After completing all this, Uncle Li straightened his back and revealed his cruel and twisted mouth. "Son, the bodies of the hundreds of people buried with you in the guesthouse will be your best companions on your journey to the underworld. Even so, your soul will not be lonely."

Suddenly, a dull and chaotic sound of footsteps sounded outside the door.

The sound was heavy and casual, like a cannon shot striking Uncle Li's heart violently.

Uncle Li's heart tensed up. He drew his weapon from his waist and swiftly hid in the shadow behind the door, silently.

"Old man, it's been delivered. Can you please turn on the hot water?"

The voice of the night security guard came into the room.

After an unbelievable silence, Uncle Li responded in a vague voice. "Sister-in-law, just lie down, just put the water outside, don't knock on the door to disturb."

"But you must be careful, because after we entertain you, there will be an endless drought."

The sound of clinking footsteps gradually faded away. Uncle Li leaned close to the crack of the door and listened carefully. After confirming that there were no other unusual noises around, he finally put down his burden.

The movement towards the end was light and graceful, like a cat sneaking quietly. He lightly grasped the waist behind him and slowly pushed the heavy wooden door.

"Do not move."

A black, cold gun muzzle, like a **, pressed deeply against his forehead.

Cold sweat broke out, and it was not just the coldness that ran from the soles of his feet to the back of his head. Under the dim light of the corridor, everything became even more blurry and dark. Uncle Li suddenly raised his hands and almost shouted at the top of his voice, "Comrades, comrades, I was wrong... I shouldn't have thought of cutting corners. This was my private matter... It has nothing to do with the fat lady."

"You idiot Li Zongtang, do you really not remember the twelve workers who commanded the gangsters to make trouble? It's really sad." Deputy Wu Ke approached quickly and took out a pistol from his belt buckle. He looked up and down quickly, and Uncle Li's heart was filled with emotion and sadness - the eyes of this old soldier seemed to have nothing to do with his glorious years, and his clothes looked even more defeated. If the driver Xiao Li had not reminded himself to investigate the pistol at that time, even if he found out something about the situation behind "Old Li's technology", the old man who exuded the breath of a worker might have escaped again.

The angry voice was like thunder and lightning, making the whole air tremble. "Take him away!"

Several guards hurried forward and tied Li Zongtang tightly. Two pairs of strong arms supported Li Zongtang's body and were about to leave.

Faced with this situation, Li Zongtang, who was ready to accept it, did not resist or struggle. He was like a plant in the mud, letting them do whatever they wanted.

At this moment, the young man who had been leaning against the door smoking gently waved to Vice Minister Wu. "Send him back to the house."

"plum..."

Deputy Minister Wu seemed a little confused, but without any hesitation, he grabbed Xu Chongtang by the collar and pushed him into the storage room again.

Xu Chongtang, who was just covered in mud, suddenly jumped up and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up, take me away, hurry up!"

All the civil defense executives were confused by this scene, and Deputy Minister Wu, who also looked puzzled, was at a loss and stood there in a daze.

The young man took a puff of his cigarette, came forward cheerfully, and asked, "Where are you going to put that item?"

"You, you know?" Xu Chongtang felt a chill rising rapidly in his heart as soon as he opened his mouth.

Because he instantly thought of several possibilities in his mind:

One possibility is that all his movements were under the young man's surveillance, but this possibility is almost impossible.

Although he had never received professional training, his years of experience walking on the edge of a knife was enough to show that he would definitely be able to detect if he was being watched.

The second is that the young man may have obtained some information based on reasoning.

If this is true, it is too shocking.

"You won't tell me?" The young man seemed impatient and didn't ask any more questions. "Then I'll go back and rest."

As he spoke, he yawned again and turned to Deputy Minister Wu and said, "Come on, go to the reception center and settle all the guests. Just leave this guy here alone."

After hearing this, Deputy Minister Wu seemed to understand something, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to rush up and use harsh methods to ** Xu Chongtang confess.

But then he thought again, the people present were as hard-hearted as stone, the past years had made his knees chained with iron chains, and his bones were as hard as steel. Conventional torture would probably be difficult to make him kneel down and bow his head to confess in a short period of time.

Ai Minlao's approach may be one of the effective methods.

So, Deputy Minister Wu waved his hand, followed Ai Min's old footsteps and left the room, while asking someone to lock the door from the outside.

indoor.

Xu Chongtang crouched on the floor, shocked to find that his heart was beginning to palpitate.

Even though he knew he would be sent to the intelligence department for identification, he was mentally prepared to be executed.

But when he thought of the existence of that object, he fell into deep panic.

In this world, the only thing more terrifying than death is the fear of dying.

Death is just a matter of closing your eyes.

However, fear can make people feel the pain of being in hell where the clock is stopped.

All of this is an instinctive reaction of nature, far beyond the control of human rationality.

Even for Xu Chongtang, this feeling of unbearableness arose spontaneously.

As the footsteps became more and more distant, Xu Zhongtang quickly looked for a hiding place, and finally hid in a dark corner of the wall. He put his cheek close to the ground, opened his mouth, and tried to chew the brick with his canine teeth. The brick was buried deep inside the wall, and there was almost no gap, but it was slightly loose after being subjected to the force of his teeth.

Xu Zhongtang breathed a sigh of relief and coughed gently to get rid of the broken brick fragments. Although he felt uncomfortable in his mouth, he could only use his broken teeth to take out the brick with difficulty. Looking at the dark yellow coating inside, his eyes flashed with a trace of relief.

Suddenly, a dull and familiar creaking sound was heard, and the door was slowly pushed open. With the light and shadow cast in through the crack of the door, the young figure lazily walked into the room and unplugged the ** device that was previously embedded in the brick hole. The device was composed of an old mechanical clock, a piece of wire wrapped around it, and a matchbox. The complex connection made it difficult to distinguish for a while. The lower end of the thin wire led directly to the inside of the clock, as if it cleverly linked the two together.

Seeing that thing, Mr. Wu, the deputy section chief in charge of security monitoring, was very upset. "Oh my! Mr. Li was right."

The young man snorted, "You are not careful at all. How can you use the red and blue wires without even understanding them? How are you going to deal with this?" He lowered his head and carefully observed the ** device in his hand. He looked a little helpless, as if he was embarrassed by his careless behavior. At the same time, he was also flustered by this series of sudden events and even pulled his hair.

Mr. Li laughed and seemed to have a response strategy. "Don't worry, if you can guarantee my safety, I can tell you how to defuse the explosion; otherwise, you can experience the environment here yourself," he joked.

After a burst of laughter, Xu Zhongtang seemed ready to express his determination with a tough attitude.

Suddenly, the young man seemed to have found a trick, and he quickly turned the timing button back, and the rotating needle moved half a circle in the reverse direction.

Li Aiguo smiled doubtfully and said, "Hey? Can this method delay the detonation?"

Xu Zhongtang was stunned for a moment, "Can this thing be done like this?" He was a little horrified.

Mr. Li casually adjusted a few details and confirmed that this was just a traditional timing mechanism. The principle was so simple that it only required the timing pointer in the iron shell alarm clock to establish physical contact with the conductive wire, and the connection would be achieved when the preset time was reached.

This design looks stable and reliable, but it is actually easy to unlock and only has a timed effect. It seems to be a fairly simple toy for ordinary people, but it is a valuable treasure for novice opponents like the Lin gang.

Finally, Mr. Li set the timer to five hours, and then handed the set ** device to Mr. Wu, the deputy section chief who had just entered the room. The rest of the story is to be continued, please turn the page to read more exciting content!

"Lao Wen, this thing can't be given away for nothing. It's estimated to be at least ten pounds of **. Send it to the mining area, and the blasters will come in handy."

Deputy Director Wen glanced at the gun nervously, then looked at the time, hesitated for a while, and finally took it and told the security officer to throw it into the trench outside.

He felt deeply touched by Wen Aiguo's courage.

Wen Aiguo shook his head helplessly.
