At night, the stars and the moon were covered by black veils. Most people fell asleep, but there were some exceptions, such as Chen Fan.
At this time, Chen Fan was like a cloud, floating to the door of the homesickness building without causing a trace of wind. The Sixiang Building is a two-story attic. Chen Fan sensed the movement in the lobby inside the door and determined that no one was there. He did not fiddle with the latch inside the door. Instead, he jumped up and climbed up the eaves of the second floor. Through the second floor Through the gap in the window, my spiritual consciousness was revealed and I sensed the past inside.
There is no one inside. Is this no different from an ordinary teahouse? Chen Fan put aside his doubts and carefully searched the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness. Suddenly, a thin black thread aroused Chen Fan's alertness.
The black thread was tied to the window, just an ordinary thread, running along the corner of the wall and down into the floor. Unless you use your spiritual sense to detect it, it would be extremely difficult to detect it with your naked eyes.
Chen Fan was not surprised but overjoyed. There was indeed something fishy about this shop. How could an ordinary teahouse take such precautions? If the black line is not discovered, once the window is opened, it is equivalent to pulling the black line, and the people inside will naturally notice it. Although the design is simple, it is ingenious, but now that you know it, it is not difficult to prevent it.
Immediately, Chen Fan carefully searched the surroundings again, and after confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he poked the window paper with his hand, cut off the black wire connected to the window, and climbed in. Then he waved to the two people hiding in the dark opposite to come over.
Chen Fan pointed to the black line on the window sill, signaling the two of them to be careful, and then took the lead in going down the stairs to the first floor.
On the first floor, Li Ye released the mole he had brought. The mouse sniffed for a while and soon found its direction. After squeaking twice, it found a passage and headed inward.
The three of them looked at each other and followed cautiously. However, Li Ye was in the front, Han Qian was in the middle, and Chen Fan was behind.
After a while, the mouse came to a door. The door was closed, and the mouse was patrolling back and forth in front of the door.
There was someone inside the door, and Chen Fan could clearly sense the sound of heartbeat and breathing coming from inside the room.
To enter or not to enter? Li Ye and Han Qian looked towards Chen Fan.
Using incense, Chen Fan made a gesture.
The incense entered the room through the crack in the door. After a while, Li Ye opened the door latch, pushed the door open and entered the room.
There are many bells hanging in the room, needless to say, they are used as warnings. Fortunately, there is no black line on the door latch in this house. The designer probably thought that it was already inside and did not need to be designed.
The mouse circled around and stopped in front of a cabinet. Li Ye stepped forward and opened the cabinet, but it was empty.
Chen Fan scanned it with his consciousness and found a horizontal bar on the side of the cabinet. At this time, Han Qian also noticed it and was about to reach out to pull it. Suddenly, Chen Fan felt frightened and subconsciously pulled Han Qian.
Han Qian was stunned and looked at Chen Fan. At the same time, Li Ye also looked over. Chen Fan made a retreat gesture to the two of them without any explanation.
The two nodded, closed the cabinet again, and followed Chen Fan out of the room. Han Qian tied a rope around the door latch. He came out of the door, pulled the rope, tied the door latch inside, and then retracted the rope. The three of them originally Road back.
After leaving the attic and arriving at the shelter, seeing no one around, Chen Fan asked, "How long does it take for the incense to wear off?"
"An hour." Li Ye replied.
"Then we'll come back in an hour. You two will be waiting outside then, and I can go in alone."
"Why?" Li Ye asked.
"This is a trap. If we enter that secret passage, we will probably shed our skin even if we don't die." Chen Fan said.
Seeing that the two people were still full of doubts, Chen Fan further explained: "The black wire I asked you to look at on the window sill should be connected to the bell. If we are careless, we will be discovered as soon as we enter. It can be seen that the layout here People have clever minds."
"Since you are so clever, how can you be so careless and let the spy who has just completed the mission directly return to such an important secret stronghold? And he entered the secret room and never came out, deliberately making people suspicious? Logically speaking, it should be somewhere else Report your work in a conspicuous place, and then find a place to make sure no one is following you. How can there be any reason to lock people directly in a dark room?"
"More importantly, the setting of the secret passage seems too simple on the surface. There is not even a single piece of clothing hanging inside. It is clearly telling people that there is a passage here. How could a person with such a clever mind expose such a big flaw? We’d better be careful.”
"Then why does Mr. Geng still want to go after an hour?"
"Go and be a thief. When I go in, I will pull the black wire, then go into the counter to find some money, and watch the store for feedback. You can observe outside to see if there is any abnormal situation nearby."
"Would that be too dangerous?"
"No, I will search the counter after I go in. If I don't find any belongings, I will go to the kitchen to find some food and then exit. The traces of our entry today are too obvious, especially the broken black wire on the window. window paper, I will disguise all this as the behavior of a thief. Although the other party may still suspect us, it will reduce the possibility. You can just take care of it outside."
"Okay, let's guard Lang Jun outside. Lang Jun, be careful." Li Ye said.
Chen Fan couldn't do this. If the other party finds out tomorrow that someone has sneaked into it to manipulate people's minds, they will definitely suspect Tianji Pavilion. That's why they conducted surveillance in Meishan, and they were infiltrated after they came back. Who has this ability and motive? Coupled with the disappearance of the killer, if the injured Cui Xue is discovered by the opponent again, the opponent is likely to take action against Tianji Pavilion immediately. Chen Fan has no choice but to lay out suspicions, hoping to reduce the suspicion of Tianji Pavilion and at least drag him down. One drag.
Everyone agreed, and an hour later, Chen Fan sneaked into the Homesickness Building. Unfortunately, he found no valuables at the counter, only dozens of copper coins. Then he found the kitchen, took some sausages and bacon, and left.
Chen Fan climbed out of the window on the second floor. He pretended to be careless and dropped the sausage from his body. The sausage slid along the eaves of the second floor to the ground on the first floor. Chen Fan looked anxious. Fan clumsily jumped down from the eaves, picked up the sausage on the ground, looked around, and then ran towards the South Qingxi Bridge.
Not long after Chen Fan ran towards the south Qingxi Bridge, a person appeared like a ghost from a small building not far from the Homesick Pavilion and followed Chen Fan in the direction he ran.
Without looking back, Chen Fan knew that he was being followed. However, Chen Fan, who had already left the Homesickness Pavilion, was not worried about being able to escape the tail behind him. Instead, he was thinking about how to avoid it without relying on Qinggong. Keeping the other party's gaze away from the person following him, and trying not to arouse the other party's suspicion of his identity, it was considered that his work in the Homesickness Pavilion was not in vain.
Entering the Homesick Pavilion this time was the most nervous Chen Fan had ever encountered. As soon as he entered the second floor of the Homesick Pavilion, Chen Fan pulled the black thread and went down the stairs. He soon felt like he was being spied on. Fortunately, when he came in, he covered his face with a black cloth and wore a The night clothes are made of coarse cloth, and the hands are painted with black dye, so I don't worry about anyone prying at me.
This man's peek gave Chen Fan the feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake, making his hair stand on end. Although he was nervous inside, Chen Fan tried his best to keep his body in a state of panic rather than tension. The true energy in his body could not be seen. He moved, mobilized his pitiful internal energy gained from practicing Beidou Mental Technique, and disguised himself as a crappy little thief.
But the danger soon came. When Chen Fan lowered his head and rummaged for money on the counter, the peeping person hidden in the dark suddenly jumped out of the darkness, and stabbed Chen Fan silently with the poisonous sword in his hand. Of course, everything can't be hidden from Chen Fan's consciousness, but for a little thief with poor martial arts skills, it is extremely difficult to discover. Chen Fan endured the risk of being assassinated and kept searching for things in his hands, but he was extremely nervous inside. If he hadn't put the token he got on the waist behind his back, he might have used it at a critical moment. Blocking and buying some time, Chen Fan couldn't help but take action.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm in the end. When the peeping man was about to stab him, he stopped his sword, slowly retracted it, and then retreated into the darkness. Just when Chen Fan got the copper coins and stood up, the peeping man suddenly raised his sword and stabbed him. Chen Fan was startled, thinking that the peeping man suddenly had murderous intentions. However, in the blink of an eye, Chen Fan chose Pretending not to know, he took a step back and faced the opponent's sword with the back of his body. The opponent drew out the sword faster and retracted the sword even faster. Just as Chen Fan guessed, the spy put away the sword and retreated into the darkness. After that, I kept monitoring and never tried to test him again.
There are two reasons why Chen Fan dares to bet. One is because the martial arts performed by the opponent are controlled at the level of a second-rate warrior. They are just not discovered by third-rate warriors and can be sensed by first-rate or even second-rate warriors. Peepers give Chen Fan Fan feels that his martial arts has at least reached a first-class level, at least better than chasing souls, but the body skills he exerts are not as good as chasing souls. This is obviously wrong. If you really want to kill someone, there is no need to hide your level and just kill him directly. That's it; secondly, it's because of the thoughts of the organizer. The organizer laid such a careful trap here, and they definitely don't want to expose their traces by killing a little thief.
The person who was peeping was named Wuying, and he was a master of the Dharma Protector level in the Wuyi Hall of the Netherworld Palace. This Dharma Protector level was equivalent to the elders in the sect. Not only did he have to have high martial arts skills, but he also had to make a great contribution to the palace to be able to become one. Wuying has joined Wuyi Hall since he was a child. He is meticulous and good at forbearance. He is the direct disciple of the current master of Wuyi Hall. He has completed the tasks in the hall many times, so he was promoted to protector and responsible for Jiankang's intelligence collection.
The homesickness building was set up without a shadow, but it was just an entrance to the gathering place. The real place for gathering and discussion was the Jinyi Square, which is back to back with the homesickness building. All its disciples could only enter and exit from this building, but other The Jinyifang at the back is only accessible. Although the two stores are right next to each other, they are back-to-back and located in the middle of two streets. To access from the street, you need to go through three streets to get there. The simplest path is to directly break through the adjacent wall. Wuying did not break through the wall, but dug out a tunnel. That tunnel was the one Chen Fan and the others found earlier.
