Seeing this scene, Li Jinrui and Chen Ze were immediately overjoyed. Could it be that the fox was finally showing its tail?
Could it be that the small courtyard at the end of the alley is a secret stronghold of Shemen?
Li Jinrui felt extremely excited when he thought that he was about to reveal some of the secrets of the Snake Gate, and he couldn't wait to rush over to see what was hidden there.
However, Qin Tian was not as anxious or overly excited as Li Jinrui and Chen Ze. He still looked mature and said softly.
"You two, calm down. We don't know what's in that yard yet, so we must not act rashly."
"We will wait until he enters the door and then follow him. Otherwise, the alley will go straight and there will be no hiding place. Once he turns back, we will be discovered by him. By then, all our efforts will be wasted."
"And we will only go outside the yard for a while and not go in. We will wait until we are sure that there is nothing that can threaten us before we make plans. Do you understand?"
After all, Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and Chen Ze are old partners who have worked together many times, so Qin Tian is never polite to them when performing tasks.
If you have any questions or requirements, tell them directly. This can also prevent some mistakes in cooperation that may lead to accidents.
After listening to Qin Tian's words, Li Jinrui immediately nodded without any objection, and then said in agreement.
"No problem, just follow your arrangements, Mr. Qin, and we'll just follow your lead."
Qin Tian didn't say anything more and continued to hide outside the alley to observe the old man's actions.
Finally, after the old man stood at the door for a while, the door of the small courtyard opened.
A head poked out from inside and peered outside for a long time. After confirming that no one was following or following him in the alley, he finally let the old man in.
Seeing this scene, Li Jinrui couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately, he and Chen Ze did as Qin Tian said.
Otherwise, if they had walked into the alley rashly just now, they would have been discovered by others.
So Li Jinrui and Chen Zebian looked at Qin Tian with great admiration at the same time.
Although Li Jinrui was much older than Qin Tian, he never looked down upon Qin Tian because of his age. Instead, he was even more shocked because Qin Tian had such a mature style of dealing with things at such a young age.
After all, young people often have high spirits and easily get into trouble when doing things, but such a thing has never happened to Qin Tian.
Sometimes Li Jinrui would even have the illusion that Qin Tiancai was the oldest among them all, a respected senior.
Seeing the old man entering the courtyard and closing the door again, Qin Tian immediately said softly.
"Let's follow quickly. I just observed it. By climbing up the walls on both sides of the alley, you should be able to see the scene in the alley from a height."
"I'll go up first and make sure there's no problem before you two follow me. Climbing the wall shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
After listening to Qin Tian's words, Li Jinrui and Chen Ze nodded at the same time and said lightly.
"It's a trivial matter, Mr. Qin."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. If the two of us can't do this little thing well, there's no need for us to continue hanging around."
Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction without saying anything more, and jumped directly to the wall alone.
After confirming that no one had discovered him and that everything above was safe, Qin Tian directly asked Li Jinrui and Chen Ze to climb up the wall as well.
Then everyone walked quickly along the edge of the wall towards the yard, because the buildings here looked older, and there were even tiles and the like placed on the walls.
Therefore, people were not walking very fast. Otherwise, if someone accidentally kicked a tile, even if the tile was not kicked off, the sound would be enough to attract the attention of those in the yard.
Soon the three of them had arrived at the fence of the courtyard, from where they could clearly see the scene in the courtyard.
As a result, Qin Tian quickly poured water on his head as soon as he poked his head in, because there were people patrolling in this small yard. The most important thing was that Qin Tian saw the patroller's bulging waist.
It’s all too obvious what such a scene means.
Li Jinrui seemed very calm about this. Although his hometown has always been very strict about gun control, no ordinary person is allowed to possess such weapons, nor is anyone allowed to carry such things from outside his hometown.
But for Shemen, who is extremely powerful and cannot even control the security agency, it is not particularly difficult for them to obtain thermal weapons.
Therefore, it is normal to equip some patrol personnel responsible for security at Shemen with thermal weapons.
When the patrol officers left and no one noticed them, Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and Chen Zecai looked at the yard in front of them again.
The old man from before walked into a room, and there seemed to be more than one person in it.
But so far, Qin Tian still has no way to confirm that the old man with a stooped body is the big shot from before.
Qin Tian waited very patiently, just like a hunter waiting for his prey. He must be patient enough and endure it no matter how much time it takes.
After a few minutes, Qin Tian finally heard what he wanted to hear.
Everyone inside suddenly knelt down in the same direction, which must have been a salute.
Then these people suddenly spoke loudly in unison.
"Welcome Master Ye to come and give us guidance!"
After hearing these words, Qin Tian was finally completely sure that the person in the room who was being worshiped by everyone must be the big shot of the Snake Sect they were looking for.
Mr. Ye?
Qin Tian didn't expect anything from this title, and he had never heard of this title from the information Lin Qingyun mentioned before.
Although Li Jinrui has tried his best to investigate in order to obtain information about Shemen, Shemen's confidentiality work is really good. They even have information experts who are as good as those from security agencies.
This resulted in Lin Qingyun's previous work not achieving much results and failing to find sufficiently heavyweight intelligence.
So Qin Tian naturally didn't see anything related to Lord Ye from there.
But Qin Tian doesn't blame Lin Qingyun, he has already reached the limit of what he can do.
As for who this Lord Ye is, the Lord believes that he can definitely figure it out.
However, although Qin Tian heard the words "Master Ye", Li Jinrui and Chen Ze beside him didn't seem to hear them clearly.
Qin Tian's strength is far superior to the two of them, so he can have even more extraordinary hearing.
After a while, the people inside stood up again, and then gathered around and seemed to start discussing something.
Qin Tian was not able to hear everything they communicated clearly, but it was confirmed that what these people discussed did involve the Snake Gate.
At this point, it is very clear that the old man should be a big shot in the Shemen Sect, and that this courtyard is a secret stronghold of the Shemen Sect.
Qin Tian whispered to Li Jinrui beside him.
"The person we were following just now is indeed a big shot in the Shemen Sect. I heard them call this person Master Ye. Have you ever heard of such a big shot in the Shemen Sect?"
After listening to Qin Tian's words, Li Jinrui thought for a moment, then frowned and shook his head.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Qin, I haven't heard of it."
Chen Ze also shook his head. Qin Tian did not continue to ask but continued.
"It seems that the Snake Gate does hide many secrets that we have never learned before. In this case, we cannot let this organization go easily."
"No one knows how powerful they are and how many bad things they have done."
"If we continue to let them walk in our hometown and continue to do bad things unscrupulously, we don't know how many innocent people will lose their lives and lose their fortunes at their hands in the future."
Li Jinrui nodded in agreement and said.
"Yes, this snake sect has now become a major cancer in our hometown. If they cannot be eliminated, the people in our hometown will be poisoned."
"Mr. Qin, don't worry, we will do our best to help you complete this matter."
"When the time comes, you will not only be a great hero who eliminates evil elements, but also a great hero of our entire hometown! Let's see who dares to spread rumors about you on the Internet in the future, or even slander you!"
Qin Tian shook his head. He didn't care what people said about him on the Internet. The top priority now was to find a way to bring down the Shemen.
Anyway, since the last time Qin Tian prosecuted online rumor makers, and those people were severely punished, it has served as a warning.
Very few people dare to continue to do such things, and they are not just spreading rumors about Qin Tian.
Even the rumors about other people were much less. Obviously, Qin Tian's actions had a wider impact.
Those who make a living by making up topics to attract traffic have completely lost their source of income.
As for what these people will do in the future, Qin Tian doesn't know.
After the three of them waited on the wall for a while, the door of a room in the yard suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament and tall posture suddenly walked out of it.
Behind him were several young people, all wearing the same uniforms with a green python painted on them.
Obviously, this uniform means that they are members of the Snake Sect.
Of course, these uniforms will never be exposed casually outside, otherwise they will reveal their identity as a snake.
Most of these uniforms are used within the Snake Sect to identify members of their own organization, or they are worn to attend meetings of underground forces.
It's a status symbol.
After a while, everyone in the room finally came out, but at this time Li Jinrui suddenly made a suspicious sound.
"Hey, where's the old man we followed at the beginning? Why didn't we see him coming out with these people? Is he still in the room?"
"But that's not right. There is no one in this room now. Did that person also disappear out of thin air?"
After hearing this, Qin Tian suddenly smiled softly and said lightly.
"Of course he won't disappear out of thin air. Isn't he right in front of you?"
Li Jinrui seemed a little confused and didn't react for a while. Chen Ze next to him reacted a step faster than his master this time.
"Master, what Mr. Qin means is that the middle-aged man who walked out at the beginning is actually the old man we were following."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinrui suddenly realized what he said, and immediately felt his old face blushing slightly, and couldn't help scolding Chen Ze.
"You are smart. If you don't know how to speak, just speak less!"
Seeing the master and apprentice talking there, Qin Tian couldn't help laughing, which made Li Jinrui blush again, feeling that he was getting more and more confused as he lived.
Then Li Jinrui returned to his normal state and said with emotion.
"It turns out that the middle-aged man was the old man we were following at the beginning. I never expected that his disguise technique would be so powerful. How did such a tall body shrink into a little old man?"
"Does the legendary bone-shrinking skill really exist?"
After hearing this question, Qin Tian thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said calmly.
"Since Bone Shrinking Kung Fu appears in many classics and is well known, it is possible that this kind of Kung Fu is not groundless, but actually exists."
"After all, the bones in our body are not all fixed together, but there are many joints and places for movement, and there are often many gaps between different bones."
"Bone shrinking technique may sound incredible or even impossible, but as long as you find the right method and angle, it is possible to achieve the bone shrinking effect by temporarily dislocating people's bones."
Qin Tian has never come into contact with anyone who uses Bone Shrinking Kung Fu, but this does not prevent Qin Tian from inferring the essence of Bone Shrinking Kung Fu through his own knowledge and skills.
Li Jinrui was shocked after hearing Qin Tian's words.
"If the person just now really used the Bone Shrinking Kung Fu to turn into a little old man, then this Kung Fu would be really amazing."
"It seems that we really made a mistake this time. If this person has such powerful kung fu, he must be an important figure in the Snake Sect."
"When I return to the security office this time, I must ask Lin Qingyun to investigate Mr. Ye from Shemen and see if I can get some information about him."
Qin Tian nodded, and his attention continued to fall on the leader, Mr. Ye.
At this time, Mr. Ye should have completed his inspection here and was ready to leave.
The subordinates behind him all looked reluctant to leave, hoping to communicate more with this big shot of the organization.
If you can get Lord Ye's appreciation for this and let yourself work behind Lord Ye, then it will be like leaping over the dragon's gate and completely replacing a shotgun with a cannon.
However, all their wishes were in vain. The big shot of the Snake Sect was obviously not interested in them and soon left the stronghold alone. (End of chapter)
