Chapter 1746 A Creepy Accident
Time passed slowly, and the entire warehouse area remained silent.
In the duty room, Li Xiangnan smoked a cigarette and slowly sipped rice wine to warm himself up, his senses heightened to their peak at that moment.
His ears were constantly picking up on every subtle sound outside the window.
A light autumn rain began to fall, completely drowning out the occasional chirping of autumn insects.
Li Xiangnan is waiting.
He repeatedly warned himself that perhaps in the next second, or perhaps tomorrow, Old Snake Wan would appear in the house.
Every cell and nerve in my body remained tense, waiting for the imagined person to arrive.
At this moment, Guo Qian was leading all the officers of the First and Third Battalions, hiding in various secret observation posts and hiding places throughout the prison.
He had laid a trap here, turning those five locations into a forbidden zone where any prey that stepped in would die.
Midnight arrived quietly.
Sleepiness then washes over you like a tidal wave.
But none of the police officers dared to let their guard down.
Everyone knew that five comrades, including Li Xiangnan, had entrusted their lives to them, and their safety had to be guaranteed.
suddenly.
A dark shadow, like a gecko blending into the night, silently appeared on the outskirts of the warehouse area, taking advantage of the sounds of rain and wind and the cover of darkness.
Even though the extremely faint footsteps were carefully concealed, Li Xiangnan, whose senses were heightened to the extreme, still managed to detect them.
The footsteps did not approach.
But a very faint rustling sound came from somewhere in the darkness.
That wasn't footsteps; it wasn't a sound a human would make.
It sounded more like the friction of some slippery object slowly moving across the ground.
Inside the cold room, Li Xiangnan was enveloped by immense pressure, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
He steadied himself, held his breath, slowly got up, and strode to the window, peering out through the crack.
Through the misty rain, a situation truly emerged that differed from that during the day.
An old snake, as thick as a baby's thigh, with dark scales and a round head, was slowly crawling out of the drainage ditch.
Its scales, illuminated by the dim light of the kerosene lamp and the coolness of the raindrops, reflected a captivating, cold light in the night.
It really was that old snake!
Li Xiangnan's breathing suddenly tightened.
The old snake moved stealthily, like a seasoned assassin, skillfully avoiding all the puddles, swaying its body as it moved and stopped, silently swimming to the window of the guardhouse.
Li Xiangnan's body tensed slightly.
problem occurs!
When this thought popped into Guo Qian's mind, he silently clenched his teeth, and cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead.
Li Xiangnan's back view magnified in his eyes. He confirmed what Li Xiangnan had seen and then slowly squatted down.
Guo Qian was the captain, and he couldn't let anything happen to Li Xiangnan.
Several soft yet rapid breaths could be heard in the darkness.
Guo Qian turned his head and saw countless eyes fixed on his face.
Those were the same concerned eyes that couldn't see what happened to Li Xiangnan!
but……
calm down!
We must remain calm.
Since Li Xiangnan hasn't given them any signals yet, no one should act rashly!
Otherwise, all our previous efforts might be in vain!
Guo Qian forced himself to calm down. He was a pillar of the municipal public security bureau and had to withstand this immense pressure. So he silently put his butt down, waved his hand, and told his comrades to calm down.
At the same time, he clenched his teeth tightly and reached down to press the gun at his waist.
And this moment.
Li Xiangnan, who was ahead, had already quietly retreated a few steps and sat back down at the table. While pretending to drink, he glanced at the window out of the corner of his eye.
What's truly chilling is—
The old snake actually raised its front half, gently pushed open the crack in the window with its head, slid in through the window, and coiled itself on the table.
In its mouth, it was holding a small bundle of dried plants wrapped in oil paper!
It is the Buddleja officinalis that strikes fear into the hearts of many police officers!
At this moment, not only was Li Xiangnan shocked, but the police officers hiding behind him were also breathless, their scalps tingled, and goosebumps instantly covered their entire bodies.
really!
Consultant Li is right, Wan Shuisheng's nickname, Wan the Old Snake, really is related to an old snake!
They deduced that Wan Shuisheng would come to silence Zhao Jinzhong, but no one expected that an old snake would act first, setting the stage for today's events in such a way, by poisoning him!
Snapped!
To the astonishment of the police officers, the snake placed the Buddleja officinalis in a corner, stretched out its tail, pulled out some kindling from the haystack, used its head to pry open the kerosene lamp cover, and with a flick of its tail, precisely lit the kindling, which then reverberated and instantly ignited the Buddleja officinalis!
All of a sudden.
A faint, sweet-smelling anesthetic smoke began to fill the duty room!
Everyone watching this scene was stunned.
All the police officers stared wide-eyed, their expressions ranging from sudden realization to shock, confusion, horror, and disbelief. Then, they all skillfully covered their mouths and noses with damp cloths laced with drugs that they had prepared beforehand.
Li Xiangnan held his breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. He quietly took out a prepared wet wipe and covered his mouth and nose. He then leaned over the table, pretending to have been knocked unconscious by the sleeping gas.
Yet his movements were so skillful that he could keep his eyes glued to the doorway through the gap in his arms.
He believed it, and his fellow police officers believed it too.
The real deal will be here soon!
Time ticked by, and everyone was on edge.
About five minutes.
Sure enough, a figure pushed open the door to the duty room and walked in.
He looked at Zhao Jinzhong, who was lying motionless on the table, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
The snake slithered down from the table and returned affectionately to his feet, raising its head and flicking its tongue, as if to ask for praise!
"Well done, old buddy!" the man chuckled, tapping the snake's head with his toe as a reward.
Then, the man glanced around the room, walked leisurely to the table, and toyed with a fisherman's knot rope made from a warehouse key cord in his hand, his tone filled with smugness as if he controlled everything.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, you should have just listened to me obediently. You saw things you shouldn't have seen, and then you asked me for so much money... such a large amount, I've only ever seen that much money during the Qingming Festival... Haha, well then I'll just have to burn it for you!"
As he spoke, he raised the noose, preparing to put it around Zhao Jinzhong's neck.
"Your snake is indeed well-trained!"
suddenly.
A clear and calm voice suddenly rang out, breaking the smugness in the room.
"???"
