After a while, a hunchbacked old lady came out and staggered with a wooden bucket to fetch water.
Gu Chengze's vigilance did not disappear. Since Xiaobai brought him here, there must be something fishy.
Soon, Gu Chengze discovered something was wrong.
The wooden barrel was eight-tenths full of water, but not a drop of water came out of it. This was not normal for an old lady.
He did not act rashly and left quietly.
Lin Shan also came over according to the address, and the two of them met up to discuss what to do.
"I've already asked the police. The person living in this room is an old woman with no children."
After hearing this, Gu Chengze decided to use courtesy first and then force.
He and his wife pretended to be staff members, and Lin Shan brought people to guard the front and back doors, ready to take immediate action if anything happened.
Lin Jingshu cheered herself up and looked at him firmly, "Okay."
The couple stood at the door and gently pulled the latch. The people in the house heard the noise, paused for a moment, and then pretended nothing had happened and opened the door.
"Who is it?"
"Auntie, we are just passing by and would like to ask for some water to drink."
After a while, the door opened and a white-haired old lady looked in from the crack of the door.
Lin Jingshu suppressed her excitement and tried to smile, "Auntie, my husband and I came to the county town to visit relatives. We've used up all our money on the bus ride here. I wonder if we can get some water."
She handed over the somewhat worn kettle in her hand.
The two of them had dressed up before coming, and to outsiders they looked no different from an ordinary couple.
The old lady looked at them sideways for a long time, with her eyes staying on Lin Jingshu's face the longest.
"Come in, I just boiled some water at home."
Gu Chengze walked behind and looked at the courtyard carefully. The scene was almost the same as what he had just seen.
The only difference is the door of the ear room at the corner, which is locked.
"Drink some water and rest for a while."
The old lady brought out two bowls of water and placed them in front of them.
The two looked at each other.
Gu Chengze took a sip first, "Auntie, your water is so sweet."
When the old lady saw him drink it, the suspicion in her eyes disappeared instantly, and she smiled and said, "I'll bring you some more later."
The old lady was like the elder of the family, caring for them in every possible way and trying to find out more information.
Gu Chengze and Lin Jingshu answered the questions one by one, and their half-false and half-true answers successfully deceived the old lady.
While the two were drinking water, the old lady left on the pretext of giving them time to prepare water.
Go to the back door and let the person in.
"A new arrival has arrived. It's about time. Take him away."
When the two returned to the house, the two people who had been drinking water had lost consciousness and slumped in the chairs.
"Boss, you're really amazing. You can get such fresh goods in such a short time."
The person who came was Lao Liu.
He knew at first sight that this woman was a good one.
I just feel that it looks familiar for some reason.
Lao Liu thought that there was no such coincidence in the world, so he just took a look and quickly turned his eyes away.
The old lady whom he called the boss was the mastermind behind all this.
The originally vicissitudes of life voice of the old lady has turned into the voice of a middle-aged man.
"Take the people away quickly. I'll send you out tonight. Don't cause any more trouble for me."
Lao Liu couldn't stand the man's pressure, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Boss."
As the two men were talking, they were facing the courtyard and didn't notice that Gu Chengze behind them raised his eyelids and took out a dagger for self-defense from his waist.
The little man noticed something was wrong. People who often wander in the dark area are very sensitive to the sense of crisis.
He felt a chill on his back, and before he could turn around, he was kicked out.
His whole face hit the ground and two front teeth fell out.
He covered his mouth and looked at Gu Chengze in disbelief.
It's impossible. There was clearly medicine in the water, how could he be safe and sound?
The only possibility is that he didn't drink the bowl of water at all.
Lao Liu was so frightened by this sudden scene that he didn't know how to react.
He reacted and was about to run when a strong force hit him from behind and he fell to the ground in the same position.
Gu Chengze tied the man up and whistled towards the sky.
Lin Shan and his men kicked the door open and entered.
Xiaobai ran in the front and pounced on Laoliu who was lying on the ground.
“Woof woof woof!”
Xiaobai kept yelling, biting Laoliu's pants, showing his two sharp teeth fiercely, and roaring in his throat.
Lao Liu rolled on the ground, kicking his feet non-stop, "Get out of here, you dead dog! Help!"
Lin Jingshu wiped off the disguise on her face and looked down at him condescendingly. Only then did Lao Liu see her face clearly.
His pupils shrank, his lips trembled, and his mind was filled with only one thought: It's over.
Lin Jingshu: "Where did you take my son?"
Lao Liu still wanted to play dumb, "I don't understand what you're saying. Public Security comrades, please quickly chase this mad dog away."
The eldest brother's voice turned into that of the old lady, wailing continuously.
"It's so unfair that a bunch of grown men are bullying an old woman like me."
"Okay, stop pretending."
Lin Jingshu scolded him, "You really think we are fools, don't you? If you don't tell me, the dog will bite your tongue off."
The boss snorted coldly, what's the point of this trick.
Seeing that they didn't cry until they saw the coffin, Gu Chengze occupied the house and interrogated them on the spot.
"Wife, take Xiaobai and wait for me for a while."
Gu Chengze wrapped the gauze on his hand and carried Lao Liu into the house.
Judging from the situations of the two, Lao Liu's mouth is easier to pry open.
Lin Jingshu took Xiaobai to search the yard, and the locked ear room was opened. Only hemp ropes and leftover food were left in the room.
