Mahjong

Chapter 17

Ada and Aqing brought Chen Shen to a bucket.Chen Shen poked his head out to look into the bucket, and saw 20 centimeters of water at the bottom of the bucket, and some rice paste was smeared on the side of the bucket.A little mouse was thrashing and struggling in the water at the bottom of the barrel, and another little mouse was trying to climb up the side of the barrel, but couldn't get out.

Ada explained: "The mouse eats the rice cereal on the edge of the bucket first, and as long as it wants to continue eating, it will fall into it. Once it falls into the water, the mouse cannot jump up or climb up."

Chen Shen stared at the bucket and asked, "How many mice can this bucket catch?"

Ada said: "It's not just this one! In the whole team, I put more than a dozen in every corner!"

Chen Shen glanced at the electric stove, "Take it easy and be careful with the candles."

Ada said, "Don't worry, boss, be careful."

Chen Shen's eyes fell on the wires in the corner. He seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the mousetrap again, and a wave of inspiration emerged in his mind.He was a little overwhelmed and felt that he had to act immediately.

Chen Shen immediately returned to the office.Suddenly he heard a scream coming from the direction of the interrogation room, and he almost immediately recognized that it was Shen Qiuxia's voice.He only froze for a second, then walked quickly to the cabinet, quickly opened the cabinet, and quickly took out a pair of scissors and a pair of insulating gloves.He put them all in his inner pocket and left quickly.

Chen Shen walked through the corridor of the interrogation room, turned into a corner and quickened his pace, and he found a mousetrap bucket there.He went to the mousetrap, and there was a mouse struggling in the mousetrap.In the corner of the wall next to the mousetrap barrel, there are signs of mottled aging on the sheath of the wires.Chen Shen observed for a while, and there was no one in front or behind. He quickly put on insulating gloves, and cut the outer skin of the wire with electrician's scissors.

In the interrogation room, Shen Qiuxia, who was being electrocuted, kept wailing.The electric light above her head was getting brighter and brighter, showing that the current was strengthening.Her eyeballs bulged out as she wailed, her expression painful.Bi Zhongliang looked at the running seconds on the dial, and motioned to Liu Erbao to stop.Liu Erbao stopped shaking the handle, and the light shone on Shen Qiuxia's pale and bloodless face, and she got temporary relief from the situation where life was worse than death.

Bi Zhongliang looked at Shen Qiuxia, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, "In this life, there are not many opportunities to really choose. As long as you let go, you will definitely be grateful for today's choice in the future."

Shen Qiuxia raised her head weakly, "Things are impermanent, no one knows if they are on the wrong team today."

Bi Zhongliang smiled, "That's right, so we are all betting on our lives. But if you are on the wrong team, you will die today. So I can count your life, but you can't count mine."

Shen Qiuxia smiled, as if what she faced was not death, but a heroic sacrifice for the revolution.She said, "Then I choose to die today, before dawn."

Bi Zhongliang winked at Liu Erbao who was standing aside and said, "Okay, if you want to die, you have the final say, but how you die is up to me."

Liu Erbao understood, and immediately continued to shake the handle of the electric chair.Shen Qiuxia convulsed in pain, Liu Erbao shook even faster, and the electric light on the top of the back of the chair gradually became brighter and darker under the impact of the current, and the current became stronger and brighter.

20 seconds had passed, Bi Zhongliang signaled Liu Erbao to stop.He walked up to the dying Shen Qiuxia and said, "There are many ways to live, and so is death. We all come together, and I am patient. Of course, if you change your mind and don't want to die, you can tell me at any time. Now you have ten seconds The clock's time can rest, unless you're willing to remember who the sparrow is."

Bi Zhongliang looked at the seconds and counted down slowly: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Shen Qiuxia panted weakly and said, "Wait, let me tell you."

Bi Zhongliang couldn't help laughing, "If I knew this earlier, why should I suffer so much?"

Shen Qiuxia's lips moved, as if saying a name.

Bi Zhongliang didn't hear clearly, "Who?"

Shen Qiuxia said it again, this time Bi Zhongliang put his ear in front of Shen Qiuxia.Shen Qiuxia suddenly bit Bi Zhongliang's ear, holding on to it tightly.Bi Zhongliang cried out in pain and struggled, Liu Erbao wanted to step forward to help him, and pulled Bi Zhongliang, but Bi Zhongliang shouted even louder.Liu Erbao changed hands and grabbed Shen Qiuxia's neck fiercely.

It's just that Bi Zhongliang never expected that his cry of pain would inadvertently save Chen Shen.In the corridor, Wang pseudo-agent Ah Qing had already walked near Chen Shen, and he heard a little movement in the corner where Chen Shen was.Ah Qing stopped and listened intently.Chen Shen had already cut off the outer skin of the wire. He walked to the mousetrap bucket and reached out to grab the mouse trapped in the bucket. The mouse made a creaking sound.Ah Qing was overjoyed, another mouse ate him.Ah Qing was about to walk into the corner where the mousetrap was, and almost saw Chen Shen's figure.At this time, Chen Shen heard A Qing's footsteps and felt A Qing's shadow on the ground. He held the mouse in his hand and did not let go, anxiously thinking about countermeasures.At this time, Ah Qing, who was about to see Chen Shen's figure, heard Bi Zhongliang's screams, and immediately turned around and ran towards the interrogation room where Bi Zhongliang was.Just a little bit, he saw Chen Shen's figure.Chen Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and speeded up his hands.

Shen Qiuxia was almost suffocated by Liu Erbao.Bi Zhongliang finally broke free, but his ear was bitten bloody.

Bi Zhongliang was furious, and shouted with a ferocious face: "Go to the punishment, continue to the punishment! I want to make her life worse than death!"

Shen Qiuxia spat out with blood on the corner of her mouth, with a triumphant smile on her face.

In the corridor, Ah Qing and several other agents ran to the interrogation room.In a remote corner of the corridor, Chen Shen quickly placed the mouse on the two exposed wires.The mouse was instantly electrocuted, and then a short circuit was caused.Liu Erbao pushed on the switch, and the moment he was about to restart the electrocution, the power went out, and the room was pitch black.Chen Shen put the scissors and insulating gloves back into his arms, and calmly appeared in the corridor.Looking at the chaotic agents, he yelled, "Ah Qing, go up and check the switch! The rest follow me to the interrogation room to see the agents!"

Chen Shen took the flashlight from an agent and walked towards the interrogation room.At this time, Liu Erbao supported Bi Zhongliang to the door of the interrogation room, and Chen Shen walked up to Bi Zhongliang and pretended to ask, "What happened?"

Bi Zhongliang covered his bleeding ear and asked, "Why is there a power outage?"

Chen Shen asked in surprise: "Are you injured?"

Bi Zhongliang said calmly: "It's okay, I was bitten by Shen Qiuxia."

Chen Shen quickly supported Bi Zhongliang, "I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Liu Erbao suddenly scolded: "Damn, don't turn off the power sooner or later!"

With a flash in his eyes, Bi Zhongliang said to Liu Erbao: "Count the prisoners and see if there is anything unusual." Then he left with Chen Shen.

Shen Qiuxia in the darkness heard Chen Shen's voice, she raised her eyes to look outside the door, and vaguely saw Chen Shen's figure.She knew in her heart that this unexpected power outage was probably caused by Chen Shen.She couldn't help worrying, for fear that Chen Shen would make a wrong step and make an irreversible mistake.

Sitting in the office, Tang Shanhai looked at a stack of blank registration forms in front of him, and Xu Bicheng also held a stack of forms in his hand. When she came in, she also saw the forms on Tang Shanhai's desk.

Tang Shanhai asked: "You got it too?"

Xu Bicheng nodded, closed the door carefully, and walked to Tang Shanhai's table, "I have a few, I'm afraid I've filled them out incorrectly, so I'll ask you again."

At this time, there was a noise outside the window.Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng looked at each other, then quickly walked to the window, and saw Liu Erbao and others appearing in the courtyard supporting Bi Zhongliang, who had an injured ear.Chen Shen ran over to open Bi Zhongliang's car and started it.

Xu Bicheng asked: "What's going on?"

Tang Shanhai pondered for a moment, "It seems that there are hard bones locked in the prison."

Xu Bicheng was surprised, "Could it be the military commander who was arrested yesterday?"

Tang Shanhai shook his head and said: "I know those people, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death. I heard that the action team arrested a CCP two days ago, code-named Prime Minister, which seems to be related to the famous sparrow."

Xu Bicheng was thoughtful, her eyes never left Chen Shen.She saw Bi Zhongliang get into the car, the iron gate was pulled open by the guard, and Chen Shen quickly drove out of the gate.

Tang Shanhai turned to look at Xu Bicheng.Xu Bicheng kept watching Chen Shen's car go away, and didn't pay attention to Tang Shanhai for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she turned to Tang Shanhai and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Tang Shanhai said: "How was the meeting with him at noon?"

Xu Bicheng's face was ugly, and he said awkwardly: "Don't worry, I know that I am a 'married woman'."

Xu Bicheng turned his head and walked to the table, while Tang Shanhai looked at her graceful back without speaking.

In the emergency room of Tongren Hospital, doctors and nurses wrapped gauze on Bi Zhongliang's injured ear, and Bi Zhongliang sat on the hospital bed thinking.Chen Shen stood outside the curtain, took off the gauze around his neck, and looked at the still obvious scar on his neck in the mirror.

After Bi Zhongliang finished bandaging, he came out. Chen Shen looked at him and giggled, and asked, "Do you want to book a room at the hotel? I won't go back and ask my sister-in-law for a long time."

Bi Zhongliang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of her interrogation, but I'm afraid that she will be worried and won't be able to sleep."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the hospital building side by side.In the garden in the courtyard, neither of them spoke.But when they passed the place where Wu Zhiguo fell to his death that day, Bi Zhongliang stopped, and Chen Shen had no choice but to stop.

Bi Zhongliang stared at the place where the construction waste had been cleaned up and asked, "Do you believe that Wu Zhiguo is the CCP?"

Chen Shen asked: "Is it important?"

Bi Zhongliang turned to look at Chen Shen, "If you were me, what would you do with the prime minister now?"

Chen Shen smiled, "I'm not as tired as you are. It's like playing basketball. If you block three big guys in front of you, I have to score a goal, but I might hurt both. Why bother? Pass it out and let others Come in."
