Putting aside the distracting thoughts, Zhou Daoan took a deep breath, went up and knocked on the door.

"It's coming!" Soon, the big mouse's response came - there was an appointment in advance, and the big mouse was waiting for business to come to the door, so it was rare that he didn't drink too much today.

There was a noticeable pause in the movement behind the footsteps and before the door opened. I think it was the big mouse who got close to the "cat's eye" in front of the door and peeked outside. It was confirmed that it was indeed three people, and the woman in the middle wearing a veil and low eyebrows had black hair, "exoticism" was obvious, and the lower abdomen was slightly raised, which was very consistent with Zhou Daoan's description before.

The big rat behind the door secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and complained in his heart that Dr. Thomas was too cautious, so he opened the door quickly and let the three of them into the house.

The three of them quietly glanced at each other, knowing that the moment of truth had come.

"Welcome, oh, can't say welcome, it's not a good place after all...... However, it will solve your big problems, right? The big mouse was quite enthusiastic, and took out four more cups, even though Zhou Daoan said "no need to pour wine", he still persistently poured three glasses and gave each of them a glass. Especially when it comes to the "actor", he says, "Drink, it will make you relax a little." ”

The Oriental woman was immediately overwhelmed. In fact, Zhou Daoan once said this scene during the "exercise", but as soon as she was nervous, her mind went blank, and the trembling range became larger.

Seeing that she was going to spoil the dish, Zhou Daoan hurriedly said in her ear with a Chinese: "It's okay, he just poured you a glass of wine, you can take it, you don't have to really drink ......it."

Under Zhou Daoan's whispered comfort, the woman finally took the cup of the big mouse, but she just held it in her hand and didn't drink it.

The big mouse muttered, "What is there to be afraid of", but fortunately, he knew that the few people in front of him were all gold owners, so he didn't take it seriously, so he had to drink the wine in his hand dry.

After drinking, the atmosphere immediately cooled down, and no one spoke. It was only five minutes before they entered the house, and even more than forty minutes before the time agreed with the doctor.

The big mouse just chatted with each other, he was very curious about what the "actor" looked like under the veil, but after all, the language was not understood, and Zhou Daoan said that her sister-in-law had not seen much of the world and had to have surgery, so he was very nervous, so he refused to let the big mouse go further.

After coming and going, the big rat also found it boring. He looked at the clock in the room, there was still half an hour, and it was too hard to stare.

"So be it! Come with me. The big mouse seemed to have made up his mind, and said to the three people, and he stood up first.

Zhou Daoan looked over with questioning eyes, only to hear the big mouse continue: "Doctor Thomas actually arrived a long time ago, but the appointed time did not come, and he did not show up. Since you're all early, it's okay to wait! Why don't I take you directly to meet him, and it's easy to end early......"

As he spoke, the big rat had already put on his clothes and reached out to open the door.

"Wait, didn't you say you were going to operate right here?" Frank was in a hurry - all the police forces in the police department were deployed around here!

"Plans don't change any time, my friend. But don't worry, it's not with me, it's not far away, you just need to keep up. The big mouse smiled, opened the door and made a "please" gesture.

Zhou Daoan and Frank glanced at each other—the unexpected happened, and it was the "temporary change of location" that they feared the most. But if you retreat at this moment, it will make the big mouse suspicious, and if you come to this point, you can only continue!

Zhou Daoan didn't waste time, he patted the hand of the "actor" lightly, and then whispered to her that everything was fine, just go with them, and then he glanced at Frank and went out with the big mouse.

Walking out of the apartment door, there was still a distance of three or four meters from the front of the corridor, and the big mouse did not take them out directly, but turned a corner and ran to the stairs.

The target did not leave the corridor or out of the apartment, and the officers who were ambushed on either side of No. 12 did not act rashly. The person in charge of looking through the window saw the three men leaving the apartment, but he also saw Frank, who was walking at the very end, with his hand behind his back and quietly making a "don't move" gesture.

The observer immediately told Harold the news that several people had gone upstairs. And the detective, who put on a little makeup and personally pressed the formation, shrank in apartment No. 13 at the moment, hearing the news, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and he asked the looks of the four people carefully, and learned that the big mouse had a natural complexion, and Zhou Daoan also calmed down, after a little hesitation, he ordered everyone to still stand still.

In those days, there were no eavesdropping devices or walkie-talkies, and action depended entirely on tacit understanding. If it weren't for Zhou Daoan's repeated emphasis with them in advance, the "net" must be loose enough and patient enough, maybe this sudden change would have made the police officers unable to hold back.

Over there, Zhou Daoan watched the big mouse go upstairs, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "You said that you changed the location, could it be upstairs in your apartment?" ”

"That's right." As he went upstairs, the big mouse half-looked back and explained, "Dr. Thomas specially asked my upstairs neighbor to rent a room for a short day...... He has no other problems, but he is too careful. No, the three of you came, he watched from the room on the second floor, and if there were more than three of you or the image did not match the original description, he would not show up at all—even I was told that the location had changed before you came, when he came to me in advance...... However, people who are cautious are also very conscientious, and you must also want the doctor to be a serious and responsible person, right? ”

Zhou Daoan listened, and couldn't help but look at Frank again.

Today, fortunately, I was prepared, so that all the police officers were in place at least half a day in advance, otherwise, according to Thomas's caution, at least an hour or two earlier than they arrived, secretly observe in the dark, and once they found that something was wrong, they would immediately flee. Moreover, who would have thought that he had already made an appointment with the big mouse here and temporarily rented the upstairs room?

If ordinary people really can't deal with this Thomas! But the more careful the other party is, the more it shows that the other party's identity is complicated.

In a moment, all four of them had already gone up to the second floor.

The big mouse had already believed in Zhou Daoan's gang in his heart, so he didn't delay any longer, walked directly to the door of the corresponding apartment, and knocked on the door three times. It seems that this is also the code he agreed with Dr. Thomas.

Looking at the dark door, Zhou Daoan suddenly had a subtle feeling in his heart - although everything was planned, there was a strange feeling on the other side of the door. Although this felt unfounded, Zhou Daoan frowned unconsciously.

As if in response to Zhou Daoan's uneasiness, half a minute after knocking on the door, there was no movement on the other end of the door—not even the sound of walking footsteps.

"Tuk-tuk", the big mouse struck three more times, and then softly called, "Dr. Thomas, doctor...... I'm Rick, we're coming up, let's open the door......"

This series of calls is still in vain.

"This ......" The self-proclaimed Rick's big mouse also frowned, he subconsciously put his hand on the door grip, and then twisted it slightly......

......With a soft sound, the door that should have been locked was twisted open without hindrance, and as the crack in the door became bigger and bigger, the hearts of everyone outside the door were also raised!

No one! There is no one behind the door!

"This ...... Doctor, Dr. Thomas, are you in the house? At this moment, even the big rat couldn't help but raise the decibel level and screamed. He had made an appointment with the doctor with great confidence, and had seen Thomas come to the appointment with his own eyes earlier, and then went upstairs, and told him that the location had been changed upstairs, but now in this room......

"Get out of the way!" Frank couldn't hold it anymore! He squeezed straight through the last moment of the line, overtook the leading mouse, and rushed straight into the house.

The room was dark and dreary, without any breath, and the room was not small, although there was only one bedroom and one living room, but it was very long. Frank rushed directly into the innermost suite, and by the dim street light that came in through the window, he could already see the layout of the room-

The tables and chairs were well arranged, there was no scum in the ashtray, only the window facing the street had been completely opened, and outside the window, there was an iron ladder for fire fighting. Frank hurriedly leaned over, only to see half a shoe print still on the window frame.

"Damn, he walked through the window! It's a fire ladder! Frank couldn't help but scream.

This shout, not to mention the few people behind him, even the apartment next door could hear his shout. Several apartments that had been lit up were turned off. And the detectives who were always paying attention to this side immediately pushed the windows and opened the doors one after another, and rushed to the street one by one!

"Where? Where are the people? "There was already a fast-moving detective who took out his pistol and rushed downstairs to apartment No. 12. But when I looked up, I couldn't see a single figure on the fire ladder except for Frank's head poking out on the windowsill, and the street was foggy, and I couldn't see it ten meters away!

"People are gone, everyone quickly split up to find them!" Frank was sweating and yelled at his colleagues outside the window.

"This, this, this...... You ...... "Seeing this earth-shaking battle, the big mouse also knew that the situation was wrong, he was dumbfounded, but he couldn't give birth to any countermeasures in his head! Just keep flashing "Why is this happening?" Didn't you come to have surgery and talk about it? How did you suddenly conjure up so many cops? What about the Thomas? "Invalid issue.

On the contrary, Zhou Dao'an felt something abnormal as early as when the big mouse knocked on the door, and when he pushed the door open, he already had a premonition that this "cautious" and weird Dr. Thomas must have noticed something unusual - sure enough, he "ran away" in advance.

However, this early run is strange, and there are many illogicalities!
