25. The Night Strikes (Seeking to Enter)
The shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, little brother come with me, and I'll open the room for you." ”
When the shopkeeper took Yao San upstairs, Chen Yuan had just laid out some simple traps, such as placing a basin on top of the door, and the basin was filled with ink, if someone pushed the door in, they would definitely be drenched with a basin of ink, and then ensure that nothing could be seen.
There are a few nails on the ground, and if the other party can't see it and breaks into it, he will definitely be stabbed in both feet.
Chen Yuan knew that such a trap was not enough, he also had to arrange some lethal things, these things needed some tools, and he had to go to the street to buy them.
The door couldn't be walked, and Chen Yuan rolled out of the window.
I happened to see the shopkeeper open the door for Yao San.
When he first saw Yao San, he was immediately stunned for a moment, but Yao San seemed to be a little pleased, and immediately hugged his fists after seeing Chen Yuan: "This big brother, brother is polite!" ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly returned the salute, to be honest, he always felt that Yao San had some problems in his heart, but after all, he didn't know what the reason was. People are actually polite, and they can't be polite.
Yao San came over a few steps and said: "The villain was about to thank Brother Tai, if it wasn't for Brother Tai who concluded that the woman was the perpetrator, the villain might still be suspicious now." ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "The Qing is self-purifying, and Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion is like a god in judging the case, you go to Kaifeng Mansion, you can naturally explain it clearly." ”
After the two of them said a few polite words, the shopkeeper had already opened the door, Chen Yuan had something to go out, and Yao San seemed to be really in a hurry to go back to the room to rest, so he didn't say anything more.
In the blacksmith shop on the street, Chen Yuan bought two short knives and a long knife.
The short knife is ready to be placed on top of the mechanism, and in case it doesn't work, you have a long knife that you can use to put it together.
Three more traps were bought. One at the door, one under the window, and one by his bed.
The two short knives are set up with a mechanism, and as soon as the opponent opens the door, one left and one right immediately shoot towards the door. At this time, the enemy should have blackened eyes with ink, or caught in a hunting clip, and Guan Bao can pierce a heart!
But Chen Yuan thought that the other party was a "master"! I decided to take it safer, and got a sandbag of about 100 catties and hung it on the roof. The trap is connected to the trap at the door, and if someone steps on the trap, the sandbag will swing towards the doorway, and if it is hit, it will definitely hit the stairs.
Continuous mechanisms, one ring after another, and after all this was arranged, Chen Yuan finally had a little confidence, and secretly glanced at the man's house twice, and he didn't know if these traps could trap the "master". ”
For a whole afternoon, on the surface, he continued to run his liquor shop as if nothing had happened, but his heart was pounding, and his eyes never let go of the master's door.
Chen Yuan was sure that that person was sent by the Taishi Mansion to engage in his own affairs. He did it too obviously, without the slightest concealment. Where are the usual guests like him, who sleep as soon as they enter the door? He must have been waiting for the night, too!
Perhaps, that master also knew Chen Yuan's details for a long time, and thought that there was no need to make small moves.
It wasn't until the drinkers dispersed that there was some movement in the man's room.
Chen Yuan looked at the candlelight in the room upstairs, and knew that the person must have gotten up, and his heart was secretly ruthless: "This kid has been in the house for a day, he should be sleeping, and when he wakes up, uncle, I will be considerate of you and serve you a pot of tea!" ”
Most people will feel thirsty when they wake up, Chen Yuan smiled yinyin, took an empty pot, and took advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, grabbed two handfuls of the best tea leaves that are rarely used, so as to ensure that the tea is fragrant.
The more fragrant, the more tempting it is, and it is not easy to detect the smell of poison in it. Chen Yuan took out the prepared rat medicine from his arms, and said in his heart, the medicine seller said that a pack of medicine can kill people, and that is an ordinary person. Now I'm going to poison myself, but I'm a master! Put at least three packs.
As he spoke, three packets of poison were put into the tea, Chen Yuan picked up the teapot and shook it vigorously twice, then opened the lid and smelled it to see if it had changed the taste of tea.
It's okay, Chen Yuan smiled sinisterly and shouted to Linghua: "Linghua, send this pot of tea to the guest upstairs." ”
Linghua didn't know what was going on, picked up the teapot and asked, "Brother Chen, do you want me to go in and see what he's doing?" ”
Chen Yuan didn't tell Linghua about it, he knew that this girl was less timid than himself, and if he let her know that this pot of tea was poisoned by himself, he would inevitably be nervous.
"No need, just send the tea up, don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."
Linghua obviously had unconditional trust in Chen Yuan, and immediately nodded and went up with the teapot.
Chen Yuan returned to his room. He came in through the window when no one was around, because the door could no longer be walked. Lying on the bed, holding the big knife tightly in his hand, Chen Yuan listened to the footsteps outside, and his heart was a little surging.
Every time someone passed by the door, it would make Chen Yuan's heart rise to his throat.
Will the strong man drink it?
If he really drank it, then things would be much simpler, and he would just go and collect the body tomorrow morning.
This time I really couldn't sleep, while thinking about whether the poison I had put could poison the "master". On the other hand, he was worried that the master would come over at any time to mess with himself, so Chen Yuan lay on the bed with his eyes open and lay down until midnight, but there was no movement.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised that the night might have passed safely. Perhaps, the strong man had already drunk rat poison and died?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
It was at this moment that he suddenly heard the sound of the door latch being prying! A breath of cool air gasped in his heart, and Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart: "It's finally here!" ”
His hand held the long knife tightly, although it was very tight, Chen Yuan felt that the knife in his hand was shaking very much. It's not the knife that's shaking, it's his hand shaking. It's like he's shaking all right now!
"Bang, bang, bang" The latch of the door moved a little, and the slight sound brought boundless fear to Chen Yuan, and he suddenly felt that he had an urge to rush out with a knife. He couldn't stand the torment he was suffering.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's long, maybe it's short, anyway, this time is definitely difficult for Chen Yuan.
"Smack." The sound was quiet, but it was certain that the latch had been pulled out.
Chen Yuan hid in the quilt, he tried his best to control his breathing, but at this time he felt that the more he controlled, the more rapid his breathing became.
The door was pushed open little by little, only a crack was pushed open, and Chen Yuan saw someone dodge in.
