As the door was locked, the lights in the rooms were extinguished one by one. The last rooms that were still lit were two on the first floor, one on the second floor, one on the third floor, and one on the fourth floor. Following that, the lights in the rooms on the third and fourth floor were also extinguished, leaving only three rooms on the first and second floor. After a while, the two rooms on the first floor were also extinguished, leaving only the room on the second floor.
Coincidentally, there were no curtains in the room on the second floor. From their vantage point, they could see a little inside, only to see that the room was empty. There was neither a person nor a bed. They did not know why the lights in such a room were still on.
"We can move now!" Xu Da said lightly. He was so relaxed that it did not seem like he was going for revenge, but rather going to the washroom.
Li Rui hurriedly said, "Don't worry, have you confirmed which room is' Young Master's'?"
Yang Xiang said, "Is there a need to be sure? We can just go in and search every room. As long as he is in the building, why should we be afraid of him flying to the sky? "
Li Rui ignored her hostile words and said, "My guess is that 'Young Master' should be staying in the room with the lights on on the third floor. A person like him would definitely not stay on the first floor, it's too dangerous. His underlings would be staying on the first floor to guard the door for him. The fourth floor is too high, it's too tiring to climb up, so he wouldn't stay there. The third floor is the most likely choice for him."
Yang Xiang deliberately argued with him, "Why not the second floor? Besides, even if he is on the third floor, there are so many rooms on the third floor. Do you know which one he is in? Don't we still have to search every room? If it were up to me, we should just barge in and catch his underlings and get the information from his mouth. Why do you have to make so many guesses? Aren't you tired? "
Xu Da smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after we go downstairs."
The three of them went back the way they came and went down the alley. They carefully felt their way to the end of the alley and came to the front of the four-story building again. The door was still locked.
Xu Da went up and touched the door lock. He took out two thin wires from nowhere and inserted them into the keyhole.
Li Rui was very puzzled. He asked in a low voice, "Did you bring this from China?"
Xu Da smiled and said, "Of course not. How am I supposed to pass the security check if I'm wearing this? I just broke it off from the hose on the roof. " Just as he finished speaking, a slight movement came from the keyhole. He frowned and said, "No, it's locked from the inside. I can't open it."
Yang Xiang lowered his voice and said, "The windows on the first floor are not equipped with anti-theft bars. Let's try and see if we can open them."
Li Rui whispered, "What if the people inside are alarmed?"
Yang Xiang replied, "The lights on the leftmost and rightmost windows on the first floor haven't been turned on since the beginning. I don't think anyone lives there. Let's try them separately."
Right now, there was no better way to enter the building without alerting "Young Master" and the others. They could only use this method. Thus, the three of them split into two groups and tried the windows on the left and right sides of the first floor.
Li Rui followed behind Yang Xiang and ran to the rightmost window. He put his palm on the small movable window and tried to move it up. He found that the window was locked and he couldn't move it up at all. When the two of them returned to the building, Li Rui unwillingly tried the second window on the right. He didn't know if he didn't try, but when he tried, he was surprised and happy. The small window wasn't locked and could be moved.
The three of them quickly gathered in front of the window. After a brief discussion, they decided that Yang Xiang, who was relatively small and delicate, would be the vanguard. They would climb in first and eliminate the danger. After confirming that it was safe, Xu Da and Li Rui would enter.
Li Rui stood at the side and used his hand to hold the movable small window. A window with a radius of half a meter was exposed. Yang Xiang pressed both hands on the windowsill and stepped on the ground. She nimbly crawled in and disappeared into the dark room in the blink of an eye.
Although there was a single bed in the room, there was no one in sight. Yang Xiang walked around the room twice. After confirming that it was safe, she returned to the window and called Xu Da and Li Rui to enter the room. The two of them quickly crawled in. However, Li Rui, who was tall and big, took a lot of effort. After all, the window was too small.
"I remember that the room next to it is one of the last two rooms on the first floor. There must be someone in there. Let's open the door and interrogate one of them. Let's get him to tell us the location of 'Young Master's room'. "
Yang Xiang's fighting spirit was burning. She immediately threw out her idea.
Xu Da and Li Rui had no different opinions. Hence, it was decided. The three of them walked to the door and opened it carefully. They walked out one by one and soon found the door of the room next to theirs.
What made the three of them pleasantly surprised was that the door wasn't closed. Instead, there was a small gap, and the snoring of the person inside could be heard clearly. They did not know what the person inside was thinking. Did he forget to close the door or did he leave it open on purpose so that he could hear what was going on outside? Of course, the three of them did not care about this problem. There were more important things waiting for them to do.
Yang Xiang gently pushed the door open and was the first to enter. Xu Da quickly pulled Li Rui in and closed the door behind them.
"Dong … Dong!"
After two consecutive muffled sounds, the snores in the room disappeared.
Yang Xiang returned to Xu Da and Li Rui and said in a low voice, "There are two people sleeping in the room. Both of them have fainted. Let's start the interrogation."
Xu Da said, "Yes, wake one of them up. But first, we need to gag him so that he won't scream when he wakes up."
The room was not big. It was temporarily used as a dormitory. There was a single bed on the left and right of the door. The two guys who were knocked out by Yang Xiang slept on one bed each.
Yang Xiang took out his mobile phone, turned on the flash and gave it to Li Rui. The reason why he used the mobile phone instead of the light was that he was afraid of attracting the attention of the people outside. Although all the subordinates of 'Young Master' were asleep now, who could guarantee that one of them would not suddenly wake up or go to the toilet? Hence, it was better to be cautious.
Yang Xiang cut a few strips of cloth from the bed sheet with a dagger and tied the hands and feet of the two subordinates separately. He also stuffed their mouths. Then, he stretched out his finger and pressed on the philtrum of one of them to wake him up.
The subordinate woke up in a daze and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he saw three strangers standing in front of him with cold faces. He was shocked and opened his mouth to shout. But soon, he found that he did not need to open his mouth. His mouth was already open and stuffed with something. His tongue could not move, so he could not shout at all.
Xu Da took out the iron wire that was used to unlock the lock and placed it vertically one centimeter above the subordinate's eyes. She said in a soft voice, "Tell me which floor and which room 'Young Master' lives in. Otherwise, I will insert it."
The little brother was frightened, angry, and anxious. He suddenly began to struggle, trying to resist with a fierce look on his face. Xu Da reacted quickly and pulled him from the bed to the ground to prevent him from struggling on the single bed and making too much noise.
Li Rui squatted on the ground and knelt on the subordinate's legs with both knees, firmly pressing him down so that he could not move.
Xu Da still pointed the iron wire at his eyes and said, "I will give you one more chance. If you don't answer, I will really insert it."
The subordinate glared at him angrily. There was a sense of righteousness in his eyes and he was not afraid of threats.
"Hey, you are a loyal subordinate. Since you are so loyal, then let me see how hard your bones are."
Yang Xiang said in a gloomy voice. He bent down and was about to attack with the dagger in his hand.
Xu Da said, "No need. You grab the other person and wake him up."
Although Yang Xiang did not know what Xu Da meant, he did not ask. He put away the dagger and walked to the single bed on the right. He pulled the other seemingly chubby subordinate to the ground and dragged him over to wake him up.
This person was not only fat, but also looked simple and honest. If he was seen on the street, no one would think that he was a gang member. After he was woken up by Yang Xiang, he was at a loss for a while. Then he realized that something was wrong and looked at Yang Xiang in panic.
Xu Da smiled at him and said, "Don't be afraid. As long as you answer our questions honestly, we will not hurt you. But this subordinate of yours did not answer the question honestly, so I think it is necessary to let you see what kind of punishment he will receive. "
After he finished speaking, under the gaze of the fatty, he held the iron wire and stabbed it into the subordinate's left eye. The subordinate screamed in pain, but his voice was stuck in his throat, which made people's hair stand on end. The subordinate struggled violently and Li Rui almost could not hold him down.
Yang Xiang, who was on the side, reacted quickly and kicked the subordinate's temple. The subordinate's head shook and he fainted.
When the fatty saw this scene, he was so scared that large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His face was full of fear.
Xu Da said, "Now, I will ask you a question. You have to answer honestly, or you will end up like him."
The fatty wanted to nod his head to show his obedience, but he was lying on the ground and it was difficult for him to do so. He had to blink his eyes continuously to show his intention.
Xu Da smiled and said, "Very good. Now, let me ask you, which floor and which room does the 'young master' live in?"
The fatty's throat made a sound as if he wanted to speak, but he could not.
Xu Da said, "I can take out the thing in your mouth, but you can't shout, or you will die immediately."
Yang Xiang cooperated and squatted down. He pointed the dagger at the fatty's throat. The fatty hurriedly shook his head to show that he was completely obedient and would not shout.
Xu Da took out the strip of cloth from the fatty's mouth bit by bit. When he was about to take it out, he stopped and prepared to put it back in at any time. He said, "You can speak now."
The fatty said, "%! #&*" and he actually spoke a string of Cantonese.
Xu Da, Yang Xiang, and Li Rui did not understand Cantonese. They looked at each other and were at a loss.
Xu Da asked, "Don't you know how to speak Mandarin?"
The fatty shook his head and said, "& * # ¥…"
Xu Da was speechless. He stuffed the strip of cloth back into the fatty's mouth.
Yang Xiang whispered, "He should be saying that he can only understand Mandarin and can't speak it."
Li Rui said, "That's easy to handle!" He said to the fatty, "I will stretch out my fingers. From one to four, you have to nod at whichever floor it is."
The fat man nodded.
