Chapter 34 The Third Action
The plan to bury the time capsule was disrupted by the community security guard. Bai Yang stayed awake all night, tossing and turning, secretly worried. He left the time capsule at the crime scene and it would undoubtedly be discovered, but he didn't know how the security guard would deal with the capsule.
The next morning, Bai Yang went downstairs to throw away the garbage and deliberately walked around the lawn in the square. However, he noticed that the lawn was severely trampled and bright yellow isolation tapes were scattered on the surrounding paths.
What's going on?
When he got home, Bai Yang asked about his father.
The old man was drinking soy milk. He looked up and said, "I'm telling you something terrible. The homeowners' group was in an uproar this morning. They said that a suspected explosive was found downstairs at night."
Bai Yang was drinking porridge and choked on it.
"Ahem...what? Explosives?"
Dad nodded.
"He said the security guard found it and called the police, who came."
"What happened this morning?" Bai Yang was stunned.
"This morning."
"But... then what?" Bai Yang asked.
"It's nothing serious. The police came and said it wasn't a bomb." Dad said, "It must be a prank. I don't know who buried a metal lump in the lawn and scared the property management to death."
Bai Yang ate in silence without saying a word.
If he dares to say that he was the one who caused this mess, his mother will sentence him to life imprisonment and life confinement.
On the one hand, he was glad that he had been careful enough not to be caught by the surveillance camera, otherwise he would have been really dead.
Bai Yang could imagine that the police and the community property management were sitting in front of the surveillance camera early this morning, wondering who the boy was who flashed across the camera's field of view.
On the other hand, the time capsule that Bai Yang was preparing to send out was confiscated and now no one knows where it is. Naturally, the plan failed and the time capsule could not be sent out. It was really unpredictable.
Alas, most of the time things are not as we wish, but there are only a few that we can tell others about.
What to do next?
Prepare another time capsule and send it to her?
That's all we can do.
Bai Yang finished his meal with a heavy heart, returned to his room, took out his mobile phone and placed an order again, from time capsules to tritium tubes to photo frames, buying everything he bought last time.
Spending money is no big deal, but the action plan will inevitably be postponed. If it is delayed for another two days, the National Day holiday will be over.
Once he returned to school, the heavy workload would undoubtedly take up a lot of his time and divert his main energy. Bai Yang estimated in his mind that when he returned to school, he would have monthly exams that would last for several days in a row. It was overwhelming just thinking about it.
At that time, the delivery would have to wait until at least the weekend of next week.
This push lasted for a week.
Just when Bai Yang thought that this matter would have to be postponed, a turning point occurred.
That afternoon, Bai Yang was sent by his mother to a hardware store to buy two fixed sockets. The socket board in the kitchen had poor contact and had to be replaced with a new one. When he was riding his bicycle back, he passed by the security booth at the entrance of the community. He took a quick glance at it and found a familiar stainless steel cylinder lying horizontally on the table in the security booth.
Oh shit!
He immediately braked, put his feet on the ground, and stopped the car subconsciously.
"Xiao Yang?"
Sitting inside was Cai Dong, an old security guard who had worked in the community for many years. He had watched Bai Yang grow up and was an old acquaintance of Bai Yang.
"Uncle Cai!"
"Where are you from?" Uncle Cai leaned his head out and asked.
"I'm buying a socket for my mother. The socket in the kitchen is broken." Bai Yang raised the bag in his hand and shook it. While answering Uncle Cai's question, he secretly stared at the time capsule in the booth.
God is helping me!
If the time capsule was taken away by the police, Bai Yang would be doomed to never find it again and would have to spend time preparing a new one.
But it was not taken away.
If other security guards were on duty now, it would be very difficult for Bai Yang to get it back, but as luck would have it, it was Uncle Cai who was on duty in the booth at that moment.
"Uncle Cai, what is that?"
Bai Yang pointed at the time capsule with his chin.
"This? What are you talking about?" Uncle Cai picked up the time capsule and shook it. "I don't know what it is. Old Liu found it last night. He thought it was a bomb and was so scared that he called the police... Old Liu has been confused and will get Alzheimer's sooner or later. When the police came and took a look, they found that it was not a bomb at all. The police said it was a container for something. It contained cold medicine and other sundries. It's no big deal. I'll leave it here for the owner to claim it."
"I know what that is," said Bai Yang.
"Xiao Yang, you know?" Uncle Cai was stunned, "Then tell me what this thing is?"
“It’s a time capsule.”
"Time capsule?"
"A time capsule is something you put things into and then bury in the ground for many years before digging it out," Bai Yang replied. "Finally, you open it and take out the things inside."
"Why bury something in the ground? Can it produce puppies?"
Uncle Cai obviously couldn't understand what was going on.
"Oh, souvenirs, you know what souvenirs are." Bai Yang explained, "It's just like when you were young, Uncle Cai, you hid the love letters you wrote, and then dug them out many years later. Isn't that interesting? It's a way to reminisce about your lost youth."
"Then my wife wants to fight with me. She is still acting strangely at her age."
"Uncle Cai, let me help you return it to the owner." Bai Yang said, "I know who dropped it."
"Do you know whose this is?"
"There's a guy in Building 10 over there. He likes to do these idiot things. I recognize him." Bai Yang pointed casually, "Give it to me, and I'll help you return it to the owner."
"Oh, that's great, that's great." Uncle Cai was delighted when he heard that. "The property manager has sent many notifications to the owners' group, but no one has come to pick it up. I'm worried about what to do with it. It's not a good idea to keep it here forever."
The security guard handed the time capsule to Bai Yang.
"Send it to the owner." Uncle Cai reminded.
"Leave it to me." Bai Yang patted his chest, "Are you still not confident in my ability to do things?"
"Don't worry! Don't worry!" Uncle Cai patted Bai Yang's shoulder with his rough big hands and laughed, "This little pole."
In this way, Bai Yang got the time capsule back. He described this successful action as: "Taking great pains and using sweet words to outsmart the old comrade; lacking martial ethics, little Bai Yang deceived Uncle Cai Dong."

That night, Bai Yang was unyielding and committed another crime.
He learns from every failure.
He would not make the same mistake he made the last two times he buried the time capsule. He opened the time capsule and confirmed that the medicines, letter papers and time markers inside were intact. Then he sealed it again and prepared to act! Before going downstairs, Bai Yang took seven steps forward, backward, left and right, pointing to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, silently chanting: I will never dig a hole in the sky or on the ground!
Just like the ascetic Buddha, he firmly resisted the urge to dig out the capsule again. At this moment, he was Adam. Anyone who tempted him to dig out the capsule again was a devil. Once he dug out the capsule, he would be driven out of the Garden of Eden and lose the opportunity to happily run naked with Eve!
Bai Yang felt that the psychological preparation he had built for himself was as high as the Dubai Tower, so he put on his equipment and quietly went downstairs.
Avoid cameras all the way, pay attention to the surrounding environment, avoid the night patrol security guards, and choose the designated location.
After a lot of trouble and being sweaty, Bai Yang finally buried the capsule.
Then she came back excitedly to inform BG4MSR that she could go dig the capsules.
And the final result of this action is——
As expected, it failed.
