There were few pedestrians in the small street, but it seemed quite quiet, but this kind of quietness made Li Tianchou feel slightly uneasy. After walking for dozens of meters, there is a bend that is almost at a right angle not far ahead, and then look at the house number is twenty-three, which should be very close to the target.

Suddenly, Li Tianchou's pocket vibrate, and he quietly slowed down and took out his mobile phone, with a text message on it: "The situation is unknown, and retreat." ”

Although the number was unfamiliar, Li Tianchou reacted quickly, and immediately guessed that it was sent by Wu Fang, and he didn't know what the other party had encountered. But he didn't hesitate to stop and pretend to answer the phone, "Hey, oops, you didn't say it earlier, okay, okay." So saying, he turned and walked back. The eyes looked around, but found nothing.

Soon, Li Tianchou returned along the original road and left the north exit of Tongban Lane, deliberately strolling near the shopping mall next to the hotel, and saw Wu Fang waiting in the distance where the two of them had stayed. He was not in a hurry to approach, but slowly walked to the door of the Fuda Hotel, where the location was very conspicuous.

Li Tianchou was sure that Wu Fang could see him, so he didn't stop, and turned around and entered the hotel lobby directly. He had already observed that the flow of people in this hotel was quite large, the security measures were not very strict, and the waiting area was relatively hidden, so it was unlikely to attract attention.

Sure enough, when Li Tianchou entered the door, the security guard didn't even ask, there were several customers at the front desk checking in, and he happened to find a sofa in a remote location to sit down, leisurely. A moment later, Wu Fang appeared opposite him.

"What's the situation?" Li Tianchou lowered his voice.

"Courtyard No. 7 is quite evil, and I obviously feel that there are people inside, but I can't hear any movement. Wu Fang frowned.

"Isn't this normal? Naturally, there is an ambush when people set up a bureau. ”

"Something is wrong. Set up a game, everyone eats and drinks and plays cards openly, find a few young ladies to touch it, and it's best to have a fool say a few words to attract you to the bait, this is like it. It's so obvious, I'm afraid we don't know?" Wu Fang shook his head, insisting on his own thoughts.

Li Tianchou was silent, Wu Fang's words were not unreasonable, but it was obviously not his character to stop here for this reason alone. This time, he had the idea of taking down the Mad King in one fell swoop, and he never wanted to give up halfway.

It is so weird, it shows that there are two diametrically opposite possibilities, one is that the other party carefully arranges to confuse you psychologically and hang you here, which is very likely; the second is that the other party does not know at all, the information of the teapot is true and reliable, and the reason why it is so quiet can only prove that the other party is cautious, this possibility is small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.

If it is the first case, the situation is more tense and cannot be delayed, otherwise the family will be bad; if it is the second case, then it is best to let go of the work without psychological burden at all. After pondering for a while, Li Tianchou had already paid attention, "Since you're here, don't be empty-handed, as you said, cut through the mess quickly." Well, be a little more cautious, I'll go in, and you'll be ready to answer outside. ”

Wu Fang looked at Li Tianchou and didn't insist anymore, "Just do what you say, you go before and I go behind." ”

Li Tianchou nodded and got up and took the lead to leave. This time he entered from the south alley, and he didn't go far to No. 7 Tongban Lane, which was a small bungalow courtyard with a low wall, at most three meters. Judging by the mottled wall tiles, the courtyard is no different from its neighbors, just quiet.

There is no light in the courtyard, and no one seems to be at home, but Li Tianchou and Wu Fang feel the same, there must be someone in the house, but it is impossible to judge the number of people. This is a very keen sense of taste and breath, which would not have been possible without years of special training.

I wanted to knock on the door in a bright light, but when I thought about it, the black lights inside were too much, and it was better to climb over the wall and get in. Li Tianchou noticed that Wu Fang had followed, so he no longer hesitated, and climbed the wall on the side of the small courtyard with a whoosh, the courtyard was small and simple, the left position in the middle was a tree that was not tall, a few small chairs were placed underneath, a simple shed was built on the left wall, and there were some tattered pieces at the root of the wall where he was on the right, and there was nothing else.

The three old-fashioned bungalows are lined up, and the doors and windows of the left and right wings are closed, and only the wooden door of the middle hall is hidden, so that you can't hear the sound inside or see the situation. Li Tianchou jumped down, silently, maintaining a squatting posture and not moving, merging himself with the tattered roots of the wall.

After a little observation, Li Tianchou was convinced that there was only one person in the hall, but the strange thing was that the other party's breath was extremely irregular and very weak, as if it was deliberately suppressed, sometimes heavy, sometimes completely broken.

Again, this is an elusive thing, and there is no point in guessing unless you enter the hall. Li Tianchou listened to the other two rooms with all his might, and quickly approached the wooden door of the hall as if they were human.

The wooden doors are high, four on each side of the right, and the carved decorations on them are intricate, but the paint has almost peeled off. Judging from the structure, the house is an old antique, in the style of the Republic of China or the late Qing Dynasty. The first wooden door on the right showed a fist-sized gap, and the breath of the people in the room was clearly audible.

Under the discernment, Li Tianchou couldn't help but be surprised, the other party seemed to be blocked by something, but he was not completely blocked, could it be intentional? But for what motive it was completely unclear. The angle at the crack of the door is too narrow, and the scenery in the room that can be seen is very limited, and what can be clearly identified is a Taishi chair. He touched the pistol tied to his ribs, then the dagger at his waist, and pushed the door sideways.

The room was pitch black, and Li Tianchou was clinging to the door panel, his whole body on guard. Without much difficulty, I saw a person lying on his stomach in the center of the hall, his whole body was bound by a dense thick rope, as if wrapped in a thick layer of twine, he couldn't move at all, his face was on one side, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

After making sure that there was no one else in the room, Li Tianchou quickly stepped forward and opened the other party's body, and when he saw it, he was shocked, this person turned out to be a teapot! His mouth was tightly sealed with tape, and his nostrils were also sealed with tape, only a little gap was exposed, and because it was tied too tightly, the nose of the teapot had been strangled with blood.

The eyes of the teapot are protruding, it looks quite scary, and half of the face is also a little black. Li Tianchou hurriedly ripped off the tape on his mouth and nose, and fanned him tightly. It took a long time for the teapot to start gasping for breath, occasionally coughing violently, but for a while he couldn't speak.

Li Tianchou pulled out his dagger and was about to cut the rope on the teapot, but he saw him shaking his head desperately in panic, with a terrifying expression. He stopped his hand in shock, realizing that the teapot must be a reminder of something. He carefully checked the rope, his vision was too poor in the dark, but he still felt two thin hard wires wrapped with the hemp rope with his hands, took out his mobile phone to illuminate it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this is a basket of two wires.

Bomb?!Li Tianchou's mind suddenly brightened, no wonder this so-called layout is so weird, he is directly running for your life, and he is simply done, it seems that this time the mad king's thoughts are the same as his own, and he will never die. He scolded him fiercely, but his hand that was slowly groping had become very careful. After another violent cough, the teapot finally opened its mouth, "Cough, cough...... Pants...... Cough...... Crotch...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Li Tianchou nodded, through the gap in the rope, carefully checked the crotch of the teapot, his fingertips touched a very flat hard object, there was a slight vibration feeling when he didn't move, he used the tip of the dagger to pick up a little clothing on the crotch of the teapot, there was a faint red light through, and his fingers touched it again, and it felt like a small box, which was tied under the lifeblood of the teapot.

Sensely and empirically, this is a triggering bomb that detonates when the circuit is short-circuited or other events approved by the implanted program. It's not complicated in principle, but it's hard to untie the rope of a teapot in a short time. And what's even more terrifying is that this thing doesn't know if there is a remote control, it stands to reason that it should be. Thinking of this, Li Tianchou suddenly felt terrified, this is the crux of the matter, and he turned out of the hall without any hesitation.

There was no feared explosion, but as soon as his body hit the ground, before he could stand up, suddenly a strong wind swept through the air behind him, without warning, and the sound was extremely fierce. Judging from the wind, Li Tianchou knew that it was a stick, but what made him feel bad was the silence of the other party's ambush.

In a hurry, Li Tianchou held his breath, held his head in his hands and rushed forward as much as possible, so he could only sell his back completely to the other party. There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the solid blow made his body tremble, his eyes blackened, his back was like a fire, and at the same time, his mouth was sweet, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

This stick knocked Li Tianchou at least three or four meters away, and the person could hit the opposite courtyard wall, but he didn't faint, and it didn't seem that even the bones were broken. But after all, after suffering a heavy blow, Li Tianchou was shocked for a while, and he couldn't move his body.

The sneak attacker was dressed in black, and at this time he was standing quietly at the door of the hall, staring at Li Tianchou coldly, the corners of his mouth were full of disdain, he was very confident, the other party was hit by this, even if he didn't die, there was only one breath left. The man in black suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "Bring that guy in." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Tianchou was relieved, no wonder he was so fierce, it turned out to be Zhang Zhiqiang.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and with a bang, the courtyard door opened, and two men in black carried a strong man with a small head into the door, and fell to the ground with a plop.
