Yujiaying is a mountain village, there are many hillsides in the village, and the village concentration is also a mountain in front and a slope in the back. The houses are basically built on the slope facing south and back, but they are also some distance from the slope behind, and there is a buffer slope beam between the house and the slope. The houses are across the river from the mountain in front of the village, and most of the time there is no water in the river, which is actually a dry river bend. Therefore, as long as you stand on the front hill, the light of the village is clear at a glance.

Although it is called a mountain, it is just a customary name, but it is actually a dirt slope with pine trees, shrubs and some thorns growing on it. It is now the middle of winter, and the bushes are all yellow, and most of the thorns are lodging, but they are much harder; It makes a "stinging" sound when scratched on clothes, and it hurts when it hits the skin, and sometimes it bleeds.

Compared with Zhao Yinhe and another policeman, Li Xiaohe is worse off at night. Although Li Xiaohe can also do a few strokes, he is similar to an ordinary police officer, that is, he is normal self-defense, and he does not know martial arts, so he can't step on the mountains like walking on the ground. In addition, it is less likely to come out in the middle of the night, especially in the middle of the night. In contrast, because of their work, the police have to take this kind of night road more, especially at the end of each year to catch gambling, and the experience of taking this kind of night road is richer.

It was precisely because of these factors that Li Xiaohe walked a little slower, and he almost fell down twice. But he was unwilling to be left behind, unwilling to pull others back, so he grabbed the bushes and thorns beside him from time to time, and stepped on the half-slope road with a slope.

Although Zhao Yinhe and the others did not lack this kind of experience, after all, they were walking on a rugged mountain road, and they couldn't turn on the flashlight, so they could only move forward in the dark, and they didn't walk too fast, and they each had the experience of almost falling. Therefore, no one should laugh at anyone among the three.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhao Yinhe stopped, picked up the infrared telescope hanging around his neck, looked back and forth at the houses in the village, and then continued to move forward.

After stopping twice in the middle and looking twice, the three of them arrived at the center of the front mountain, and the opposite side was the area where the houses were concentrated. At a glance, most of the houses in that area were turned off, and only six or seven of the more than 60 households were on.

Holding the telescope in front of his eyes with both hands, his head slowly turning with the telescope. Suddenly, Zhao Yinhe stopped turning, and slowly adjusted the focal length of the telescope with his right hand. Soon, Zhao Yinhe took off the binoculars, handed them to Li Xiaohe beside him, and gestured with his right hand.

Raising the binoculars, Li Xiaohe looked ahead, looking for the target indicated by Zhao Yinhe. It didn't take long for a lit house to appear in the shot. The lights of that house are not too bright, and they are much dimmer than those lights, and if you look closely, the curtains should be thicker. But unlike those families, there were two people in the courtyard, not to relieve their hands, but to look back and forth outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, Li Xiaohe put away the binoculars and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Yinhe.

Zhao Yinhe cast a questioning glance at the other party.

Li Xiaohe pointed to the bushes next to him and walked first.

Zhao Yinhe and the others immediately followed.

Soon, the three of them walked into the bushes one after another.

Li Xiaohe turned around and lowered his voice as low as possible: "Director Zhao, they are also looking forward to telescopes, I just happened to see it." ”

"Really? You found out too timely. Zhao Yinhe's voice was also very low, "Those two people are walking around the courtyard, they must be sentry, and there must be gambling in the house." Otherwise, on a cold day, how could you wander around the courtyard and outside the courtyard, and take a telescope to look at it? Especially when the curtains are drawn so thickly, there are no three hundred taels of silver here. In this case, let's go down from this bush, and when we get out of the bush, we will try to hunch our waists and use shrubs to cover us. I'll walk in front, and you two will follow behind. ”

"Yes."

"Okay."

Li Xiaohe and the others replied.

So, Zhao Yinhe took the lead, and the three of them shuttled through the bushes. After five or six minutes, the bushes were gone. They had to hunch their waists as much as they could, find as many bushes as they could, and walk down the hill. Fortunately, the location was not far from the bottom of the mountain, and it took them less than twenty minutes to reach the bottom of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the three of them walked towards the bright spot in their impressions. Due to the change of position, it is now not a straight line from the target, but an oblique straight line, which is a large distance away. I think that the two sentry guards may not have heard it, at least they should not see the three of them, but the house is condescending to Wadi Bay, as long as you look in this direction, you are likely to find a moving figure. So they tried to go as fast as they could, with as little movement as they could, trying to pass through the bend as fast as they could.

The idea is very good, but the river bend will not deliberately cooperate, but the stone chips will protest because they are being stepped on quickly. The gravel that was stepped on made a "click" sound from time to time; The stones that were stepped on overturned used a "pop" sound to counterattack the legs and feet above. Whenever the "pop" sound sounds, someone will definitely gasp, but they still have to endure it and dare not make a sound. Rao is so, and they are also worried about being heard by the watchmen.

With all the care, the three of them finally crossed the wadi and headed in the direction of their goal. In fact, it is no longer possible to distinguish the courtyard, only the wall of the same shape can be seen, and the general direction can only be known.

The countryside is different from the city, not only are the roads potholed, but also full of dark shadows, and the surroundings are also pitch black. It's okay that as long as there is a faint light coming through, it will be seen.

Passing by the walls of several houses, looking and listening, I only found one house with a light on, but it was obviously not the suspect just now.

Coming to a bend, just about to stick it forward, I looked at the wall. Suddenly, there was a conversation, and the three of them hurriedly withdrew their steps and hid behind the wall.

"Old eight, you are suspicious, how can there be a voice?"

"yes, why not now? I did hear that. ”

"I think you're too angry, and your ears are noisy."

"No, no, someone must have walked the river, if I had passed by just now, I might have seen it. But you have to say that it is cold, and you want to go back and put on another dress, and the result is wrong. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier? If you were so sure, I wouldn't have gone back to get dressed. What is the use of the past now? ”

"Then we have to go over, in case something happens. If it was because of the two of us, not only would we not get a high salary, but they would have to clean up the misery, and even this hard-won job would have to be lost. ”

"Yes. Well, let's go over and have a look. ”

As the footsteps faded away, the conversation grew farther and farther away, and it was impossible to hear what the two men were saying.

Glancing at each other, all three of them smiled, and the word "lucky" was clearly written on the smile, both lucky that the two boys missed the opportunity, and lucky that the sentry left temporarily.

Without further ado, they made a gesture, and the three of them quickly moved towards the gate of the courtyard. During the movement, he kept his ears pricked up, in case he was discovered by a hidden sentinel or someone suddenly came out.

Thankfully, from entering the courtyard, to moving along the base of the wall, until I came out of the window, I didn't see a single person, and I didn't find anyone.

Standing outside the window, the sound in the room penetrated into my ears clearly:

"Hurry, hurry, is there anything else?"

"No, no, it's all bet."

"Just bet on it, and start it right away."

"Two, two."

"Four, four."

"Nothing, nothing."

"Open ......"

"Huh? Three? ”

"Damn, it's too back."

"Haha, collect money, collect money."

"What the."

"I don't know what's going on today? Always losing money, and my eyelids are still jumping. Isn't there going to be a police officer? ”

"Shut your foul mouth."

"It's just that you only lose your pants, and you can't let Lao Tzu suffer."

While listening to the noise in the house, Zhao Yinhe had already made gestures to his subordinates and asked them to respond in the courtyard, and he moved to the door of the house with Li Xiaohe.

Turning around and nodding to Li Xiaohe, Zhao Yinhe pushed open the door and walked in.

Li Xiaohe followed closely, turned around and quickly closed the door.

"Who?"

"I guess it's the eighth."

"It doesn't sound like it, don't you think it...... Get out there and have a look. ”

Just as the people in the room questioned, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

"Damn, there is ......," suddenly scolded in the back room.

"Don't move, police." A broken cry sounded, and two flashlights shot into the back room.

Under the bright light of the flashlight, there are panicked faces, but there are also people whose eyes are rolling.

"Squat down with your head in your hands." Zhao Yinhe ordered.

Li Xiaohe followed and shouted: "Squat down and squat down." ”

Most of them raised their hands and squatted slowly.

Suddenly, a bald head shouted, "Run, two people are coming." ”

"Police, you're surrounded." There was also a loud shout in the courtyard.

Hearing the agitation, someone had already half-straightened his waist and hurriedly squatted down.

"It seems to be a person in the courtyard, right? Usually there are a lot of people arguing. "It's still the same bald head who speaks.

"Squat, squat." Zhao Yinhe continued to order.

A few more people crouched down.

But the bald head was half-hunched and slowly stood up. Then he jumped to the door, and at the same time picked up the round stool on the ground: "Damn, do you want to eat black?" You're not a policeman. ”

Feeling a strong wind coming, Li Xiaohe turned sideways slightly, and the round stool slid in front of him. Not allowing the other party to return his hand, he jerked his right leg and kicked towards the bald head.

"Ouch" and "plop" sounded a few times, the bald head fell to the ground, and he was kicked by the opponent in the bone.

Ben two people also moved slowly, and when they saw the bald head falling, they hurriedly "plopped" and fell to the ground.

As a result, everyone in the room squatted down with their heads in their hands, and a few people fell down directly, and no one made any noise.

"Lao Wang, Xiao Liu, Da Zhuang, the eight of you are still in the courtyard, transfer another eight from outside the courtyard, and leave six outside." Zhao Yinhe tilted his head and said loudly.

"Yes, I'll let you know right away." A response came into the room.

Immediately afterwards, the intercom sounded: "Eight will be admitted to the hospital immediately, eight will be admitted to the hospital immediately." ”

Before the sound of the intercom fell, suddenly a "tick" sound sounded, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.

Hearing the sudden sound of the siren, Li Xiaohe was first overjoyed, and then frowned. He noticed that Zhao Yinhe was also turning to him, although he couldn't see the other party clearly, but obviously there was doubt written on that face.
