------------

  It was indeed Tian Liang who had "seen" it correctly. The first to enter the Liu Qingqing's home was Yu Zhonghao, the head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade and also the head of the Major Crimes Unit.

  Yu Zhonghao had practiced lightness skills, and after several exchanges, Xiang Tianliang was quite familiar with his movements and appearance, especially the way he flipped and landed, which others found difficult to achieve.

  The first person to eat crab was actually Yu Zhonghao, which really didn't occur to Tian Liang.

  This does not conform to the code of conduct for a gentleman, where it is said that "the first to strike has the advantage, and the last to strike suffers", but this does not seem to apply here.

  It can now be confirmed that Yu Zhonghao has no reliable supporters in the city at least, and he participated in this matter with a sense of justice.

  Xiang Tianliang shook his head and picked up three slingshots and a basin of marbles, quickly arriving at the room next door.

  There was no light here, it was dark, but there was a two-meter-wide window. If it were daytime, the yard of Liu Qingqing's house should be visible at a glance.

  "Who's that?" Liu Qingqing followed over and quietly asked beside Xiang Tianliang.

  Jiang Yuying and Ye Nan, who had no specific task, also walked over together.

  "Shh... don't say anything, put on night vision goggles and see for yourself."

  Xiang Tian Liang put on night vision goggles himself, pinched three marbles, and picked up the medium-sized slingshot.

  As two people who understand each other, Tian Liang can probably guess a bit of Yu Zhonghao's thoughts.

  Yu Zhonghao considers himself the embodiment of justice, and is notorious in the Municipal Public Security Bureau for his independent and unyielding character. Initially, he was deliberately cultivated by Director Xie Zixiang, who provided him with a lot of support on his path to promotion. However, the relationship between the two has become increasingly distant, although they have not yet fallen out openly, they have already run out of things to say to each other. With Zheng Junbo, Xie's most trusted subordinate in the Municipal Bureau, Yu has even reached the point of mutual sabotage.

  On the other hand, as a nominal subordinate of Xie Zonghao, Yu Zhonghao's relationship with Guo Qijun, the director of Qinghe District Public Security Bureau, was also very poor. Guo Qijun's trusted aide, Xiao Jiannan, never looked down on Yu Zhonghao, who came from a university background, in terms of business.

  Xiang Tianliang scolded, "This Yu Zhonghao is really something! He only focuses on pulling the cart with his head down and doesn't even look up to see the road. This guy shouldn't be the first one to jump into this muddy water, but he's actually the first one to do so."

  That's right, it was Yu Zhonghao, he flipped and jumped into the yard.

  During these days, he has been "paying attention" to every move of Xiang Tianliang. When Xiang Tianliang took something out of the bank, he also received the news in the first place and sent the most reliable person to follow him.

  This younger fellow's thoughts, Yu Zhonghao also basically guessed correctly, he wants to throw the timed bomb in his hand to someone else, and it is almost public, setting up a formation in this courtyard, waiting for someone with "fate" to come and receive it.

  He had only one thought, that the things in Tian Liang's hands could not fall into someone else's hands. Each of them would fully utilize it for personal gain, rather than eliminating the dirty things like him.

  Tonight, Yu Zhonghao came alone to the nearby area early and saw Zheng Junbo from the Municipal Bureau, Xiao Jiannan from Qinghe Branch, and Wang Daohong from Qinghe Prison who had attended meetings together.

  However, everyone is waiting and waiting for others to go in first to "test the waters".

  Everyone knows that Tian Liang has a heart to send gifts, but he won't easily let people get them.

  As expected, Yu Zhonghao's feet touched the ground, and he steadied his body. Just as he took two steps forward, a gust of wind whizzed past him from the front.

  Yu Zhonghao involuntarily shouted "not good", his body instinctively jumping up from the ground.

  It was a bamboo pole that swept across his waist, if Yu Zhonghao hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit for sure.

  He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and thought that Tian Liang had indeed installed the messaging device, and unexpectedly, in the empty courtyard, he was already "troubling" someone.

  Just as he let out a sigh of relief, another shrill cry came rushing from behind, making Yu Zhonghao somewhat at a loss.

  He didn't have time to turn around and, due to exhaustion, found it hard to jump again, so he hastily fell to the ground.

  Another bamboo pole whizzed by, and Yu Zhonghao, still in a state of shock, turned his head to look back, only then did he understand where the two bamboo poles came from. At the place where he had climbed over the wall, there was a eucalyptus tree on either side, with one end of each bamboo pole tied to the tree. They were first twisted tightly and embedded between the tree and the wall. As soon as someone passed by nearby, they only needed to be slightly manipulated to launch a surprise attack.

  Yu Zhonghao lay on the ground, smiling bitterly as he thought of a way to escape.

  Just then, a "slap" sound was heard, and another person jumped into the yard over the low wall.

  Yu Zhonghao judged that the person a few meters away, who was his biggest competitor tonight, should be Xiao Jiannan based on the movement of the figure.

  He was lying on the ground, looking quite wretched. But in fact, Xiao Jianan was even more miserable, because to be precise, he hadn't jumped down from the wall by himself, but had been knocked off by a marble shot by Xiang Tianliang.

  It turned out that when Xiao Jiannan climbed onto the wall, Xiang Tianliang had already seen him from a distance and recognized him as Xiao Jiannan. Xiang Tianliang didn't intend to make a move at first, but he calculated that Xiao Jiannan had deviated from his planned "trajectory", so he took the opportunity to "correct" him without hesitation.

  Xiao Jianan had just climbed up the wall when a marble suddenly flew over, by the time he realized it, the marble had already hit his buttocks, it didn't hurt that much, but enough to make him lose balance and fall into the courtyard.

  But just as Xiao Jianan was about to get up with his left hand supporting the ground, another marble came flying over with a whistling sound.

  Xiao Jian Nan secretly thought it was not good, listening to the sound, this marble came with an even greater force, and was specifically designed to hurt people.

  Without waiting for him to dodge, the marble hit his left wrist with a loud "click".

  This time it really hurts, Xiao Jiannan grimaced, took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand and plunged forward.

  Plop.

  "Wow..."

  The first sound was the object's, and the second was Xiao Jiannan's voice, neither of which was loud, but enough to make Xiao Jiannan feel excruciating pain, shocked and furious.

  A mousetrap, out of nowhere, clamped down on Xiao Jian's right wrist with perfect precision.

  "Hehe......"

  At some point, Yu Zhonghao had crawled over and started laughing gloatingly.

  Yu Zhonghao, what are you laughing at? Xiao Jiannan cursed in a low voice.

  Yu Zhong Hao laughed and said: "I'm delighted! The great Xiao Da hero, caught by a mouse trap, don't you think it's hilarious?"

  "Phooey, your dog-walking style is no better than mine!"

  As they argued, Yu Zhonghao crawled closer and helped Xiao Jiannan untie the mouse trap.

  "Lao Xiao, it seems that this kid Xiang Tian Liang is quite well-prepared."

  "Indeed, worthy of being a descendant of the Xiang family, not only is your martial arts skills exceptional, but you're also cunning and full of tricks."

  Yu Zhonghao let out a bitter laugh, "Tonight is probably going to be tough."

  Xiao Jiannan disagreed, "What, you want to retreat?"

  "Joke, our city doesn't have such kind."

  "Our people from Qinghe Sub-bureau are all top-notch and outstanding."

  Yu Zhonghao smiled and said: "Since that's the case, why don't we work together?"

  "What kind of cooperation?"

  "Let's rush through the blockade line in this courtyard together, after entering the house, our cooperation will end, and we'll go our separate ways."

  Xiao Jian's silent laughter, "Limited cooperation?"

  "Right."

  "Just what I wanted."

  Two people touched hands and nodded to each other, which was a temporary agreement.

  "Boom..."

  A loud noise came from the wall near the two people, and it sounded particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.

  Yu Zhonghao and Xiao Jiannan looked at each other in dismay, it must have been some careless fool who accidentally fell into the pit.

  Because they also heard the sound of water.

  But it shouldn't be water, both of them have a sensitive dog nose, and soon a strong stench wafted over with the wind.

  It smells like human feces.

  The two of them couldn't help but laugh again, thinking that Tian Liang was really wicked, even daring to use such a tactic.

  Suddenly, a low voice came over.

  Yu Zhonghao, Xiao Jiannan... you, you guys... they're coming over quickly... come and lend a hand...

  It turned out to be Zheng Junbo, the captain of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Public Order Corps.

  The establishment of Qinghe City Public Security Bureau is not yet in place, and the Municipal Security Detachment has not been established. The current Municipal Security Corps temporarily belongs to the leadership of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and Zheng Junbo should still be considered a subordinate of Yu Zhonghao.

  Tonight is New Year's Eve, it's simply a night of suffering for the people's police.

  Although they all disliked Zheng Junbo, they still had to save him. Yu Zhonghao made some effort and took two bamboo poles to climb over.

  Xiao Jian Nan also crawled over with his nose covered.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, Old Zheng, didn't you eat enough at home?" Xiao Jiannan joked.

  A pit one meter square, two meters deep. Normally Zheng Junbao should be able to climb out, but now his body is covered in feces, and in a fit of rage, all his strength has turned into fury.

  "Xiao Jiannan, you'd better hurry up." Zheng Junbo cursed while stretching out his hand as high as possible.

  Xiao Jian didn't even bother to raise his hand, "Hehe, Old Zheng, you reek of stench all over your body, and your mouth is even more foul."

  Yu Zhonghao lowered two bamboo poles and said, "Old Zheng, quickly grab hold of them, we'll pull you up."

  Zheng Junbo grasped the bamboo pole, still cursing in his mouth, but the target of his curses had already shifted to Xiang Tianliang.

  "Damn it, towards the dawn, *** actually came up with such a despicable move...... I'm not done with you yet......"

  Yu Zhonghao and Xiao Jiannan both smiled in their hearts, with your bear-like appearance, do you still want to mess with others? First time being played in the interrogation room, second time in the antique market, being played until one arm and three ribs were broken, today is even more miserable, what can you use to mess with others?

  "Bang."

  "Ah..."

  Zheng Junbao climbed halfway and fell back into the toilet pit again.

  "You two bastards dare to bully me..."

  Xiao Jianan buried his grievances and said: "Yu Zhonghao, why did you let go? Can I pull it up by myself?"

  "Lao Xiao, it was clearly your fault for letting go first."

  "It was you who let go first."

  "You let go first."

  Under Zheng Junbo's low and furious scolding, his two companions had already turned back and slipped away quietly.

  At this time, the sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open came over.

  Yu Zhonghao and Xiao Jiannan quickly bowed their heads and turned around to see two men, one tall and one short, cautiously entering the courtyard.

  Xiao Jian Nan sighed: "Alas, tonight is really lively, even they have come."
