Chapter 481

~10 min read 1,801 words

Zhang Su and his party walked out of the room, passed through the corridor, and turned a corner. The huge laboratory occupied almost half of the entire fifth floor, which showed Liao Youzhi's emphasis on it. Of course, in terms of area alone, Cuilengxuan was not bad, but it was somewhat lacking in hardware.

"When the time comes, we will transport the instruments here back, and the research of Dr. Fu and the others will definitely be like a tiger with wings."

Zhang Su walked to the laboratory door very happily and pulled the door handle. It wouldn't open. He discovered it was another keypad lock and frowned: "Why the hell are there keypad locks everywhere? Was there a counter selling keypad locks in the Le-Gou Mall before?"

"That's right..."

Who would have thought that as soon as these words were spoken, Pan Ru confirmed his guess with a strange expression, pointing downstairs: "There is a Mi-Link experience store over there. These door locks and some household appliances were all found in that showroom..."

"Really..."

Zhang Su was speechless. There are just too many of these messy things in the city, but unfortunately, they are of no use.

He originally intended to try it himself, but remembered that he could ask the scientific researchers who had been captured. However, after taking out the walkie-talkie, he realized that Guo Dachao should be almost at Tianmayu by now, and he couldn't contact him at all.

He patted the keypad lock a bit depressedly, turned around, and asked: "I heard that Gong Chengming also lives on this floor?"

"That's right, just that small room from before. Gong Chengming's room is very small. Except for sleeping at night, he basically doesn't work in his room."

Ouyang Qiao was very clear about Gong Chengming's situation and spoke eloquently.

Pan Ru pursed her lips, feeling inferior. In this regard, she really couldn't be compared with Ouyang Qiao, who was a spy by nature.

"Let's go, let's go take a look! Don't tell me there's another keypad lock!"

"I remember there isn't."

Ouyang Qiao recalled and said.

The group arrived at the door of the small room. Sure enough, it was just an ordinary door lock. Not only was the door lock ordinary, but the door itself was also very ordinary. It seemed to be a wooden door dismantled from somewhere, looking a bit old.

"Gong Chengming lives very simply!"

Zhang Su looked at the wooden door. Compared with Liao Youzhi's imposing double doors, this place could be called a humble room.

He placed his hand on the door handle, and with a click, it opened easily. It wasn't even locked; it could be opened from the outside at will! "This... heh."

Zhang Su unlocked the door but didn't pull it open, because he felt something was tricky. He slowly pulled it open, and a lead from an automatic pencil fell from the hinge and dropped onto the welcome mat inside the door. All of this happened silently. If it weren't for the sensing white mist covering the area, he wouldn't have discovered it at all.

The fact was indeed as Zhang Su expected; only Tachibana Maiying noticed this small mechanism, and no one else knew about it.

"I didn't expect Gong Chengming to be such a careless person, not even locking the door when he goes out..."

Ouyang Qiao looked at the neat room with some surprise.

"Careless?"

Zhang Su looked at Ouyang Qiao with a half-smile, then bent down and carefully picked up the slender pencil lead from the welcome mat, pinching it between his fingers.

"He is not careless; on the contrary, he is very scheming!"

"What do you mean?"

"Pencil lead?"

"Is there scheming in a pencil lead?"

Everyone present was very puzzled.

"This is a counter-reconnaissance method. This pencil lead was previously placed on the hinge; it should have been placed there after closing the door. Once someone opens the door, the pencil lead will fall. In other words, if Gong Chengming comes back and opens the door and doesn't see the pencil lead fall, it means someone has entered his room!"

"I guess Gong Chengming opens the door relatively slowly every day, looking nonchalant and calm, right?"

Zhang Su looked at Ouyang Qiao and Pan Ru.

Pan Ru looked at the door thoughtfully and nodded slowly: "It seems that's really the case!"

"Ah, this works?"

"Damn... is this 'Infernal Affairs'?"

"Is it necessary to be so careful at headquarters?"

"It's not just the pencil lead!"

Tachibana Maiying walked up and pointed to the welcome mat: "This mat was deliberately not placed close to the door frame. It looks like it was placed crookedly on the ground, but I can be sure that the distance between the two corners and the door frame is a specific distance. Only Gong Chengming knows what it is. Besides..."

Tachibana Maiying signaled Zhang Su to leave the door position. She pulled the door and pointed to the door handle: "Look, the door handle is loose, and the slack in the vertical shaking is over ten degrees. I guess that before we opened the door, the door handle should have been stopped at an angle only Gong Chengming knows." "Damn, scheming boy!"

Zheng Xinyu, Zhao Dezhu, Lu Yubo, and others around were stunned.

"Damn, is this still his own home? Why make it like this?"

Zhao Dezhu couldn't help but ask.

"It's probably because Gong Chengming has a guilty conscience. He had long wanted to rebel against Liao Youzhi and must have been afraid of showing his feet. But since he did so much work on the door and deliberately left it wide open, there's probably nothing in this room. Leaving these methods is nothing more than wanting to see if anyone is investigating him."

Zhang Su stepped into the room. Entering the door was the bedroom, similar to a cheap single rental room. A double bed was placed in the corner, and there was only one quilt on the bed, folded neatly.

"Caution is the parent of safety. If Gong Chengming hadn't participated in yesterday's operation, I really wouldn't have made a move against him. Unfortunately, he had crooked thoughts!"

While muttering, he walked to the bed and opened the wardrobe. There were quite a few clothes hanging inside, two beautiful daggers lying in the corner, and a submachine gun of the same model as the one in Zhang Xin's hand hanging on the side panel of the wardrobe.

"Uncle!"

While everyone was visiting Gong Chengming's small room, Pang Dakun's excited voice came winding over.

"Gong Chengming definitely won't leave useful information in the room. If you are interested, you can rummage through it. I am more interested in Liao Youzhi's office."

Having said that, Zhang Su turned and left the room.

"No secrets is not important, these weapons must be taken!"

Zhao Dezhu walked to the wardrobe happily, preparing to take away the daggers and the submachine gun inside.

Unexpectedly, Tachibana Maiying's figure was faster than him, and like a ghost, she took the two daggers into her hands.

"Hey, you're not playing fair. I saw this first..."

Zhao Dezhu was very dissatisfied. Seeing her looking at the daggers in her hands with a smile, he was very unhappy: "Give me one, what do you want two for!"

"Sorry, I can't give it to you. I'll take one, and give one to Xiaoling."

Tachibana Maiying touched the pale blue blade of the daggers with the special quenching process very lovingly. The two daggers were one long and one short, with similar shapes, just right to be used as couple daggers.

"Ugh..."

Zhao Dezhu was very withered. His idea was actually the same as Tachibana Maiying's; he intended to give one to Yu Qing. Unfortunately, he couldn't beat the woman in front of him, and reasoning was useless; she got it first...

He had to walk away angrily with the submachine gun.

"Uncle, did you time it?"

When Pang Dakun saw Zhang Su, the first sentence stunned him.

"Why would I time it? Go, go, go, no one is going to argue with you about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. By the way..."

Zhang Su just took a step, pointed to the end of the corridor, and said: "Turn right at the end over there, and you can see a big room. That's the laboratory. There's still a keypad lock on the door. Go study it."

"Really? Haha, good, I'll go right now. I have experience, I guarantee it will be done in three to five minutes!"

Hearing that there was another keypad lock to open, Pang Dakun ran over happily.

Zhang Su led the group back to Liao Youzhi's mansion and walked directly to the secret room. Others also wanted to follow in to take a look, but unfortunately, the layout inside the secret room was very compact. A desk, chair, and bookshelf were placed in a space of seven or eight square meters, and the space for people to move around was very narrow, so they didn't go in to join the fun.

The first thing that caught Zhang Su's attention was naturally the row of labeled walkie-talkies on the bookshelf. He checked them one by one, and they were written with the names of various survivor forces. There were as many as eleven of them, including Civilization Guardian, Little Eagle Society, and Apocalypse Group. The water bears mentioned by Xiao Xuejian before, and the Absolute Justice in the development zone were also among them.

Forces that can exchange walkie-talkies have at least dozens of members, which can be considered a fairly large group. Liao Youzhi operated such a trading center, and while bearing the risks, he also became familiar with these survivor forces nearby, and it is estimated that he also shouldered the role of collecting information.

Walking to the desk, Zhang Su saw the notebook Pan Ru mentioned. The brand-new leather surface felt cold to the touch. He opened it and saw it was purely new, not a single word written on it...

"Damn it!"

Zhang Su was greatly disappointed. He sat on the chair and pulled the drawer, only to find that the drawer was locked. However, the lock on the drawer was not sturdy, and it was pulled out with a hard tug. Inside, some newspapers and magazines were stuffed messily, but under these sundries, a notebook lay there, similar in shape to the one on the desk.

Opening it, it recorded a lot of content in a crooked way...

"What's the point of this? This level is far worse than Gong Chengming's!"

Zhang Su couldn't help but slander. Liao Youzhi was obviously also setting up a formation, but this method was a bit low-level.
