The next day, Officer Zhou and Yu Bing goes straight to the prison early in the morning. They agree the first prisoner to look at is the one arrested yesterday. They enter in the dark jail cells and see that man is bound tightly on the wooden bed with his mouth gaged while his eyes are moving rapidly. Yu Bing and officer Zhou look at the prisoner for awhile and ask the in-charge officer if he have been like this since yesterday.
"Yes office Zhou, he had been like that since yesterday. When we remove the gag to question him, he will spit at us or say some nonsense."
"What nonsense does he say?'
"Something about winter ... fire works... something like this. I can't make out what else he said. It's all gibberish."
"Have any physicians come to take a look at him?"
"Yes. This morning, He said that this person must likely have taken some kind of drugs. On him, we have search there is nothing."
Hu Li walk around and office Zhou understands that Yu Bing is looking for the fake wall and the guard with a long scar. A little rat come running.
"Master! Help! Loon Tong is trap in the cell!"
"Show me where."
Hu Li follow the little one. They come to a wall.
"Behind this wall. The door open and close with a push on one of those stones on the wall. We waited. That guard sees that there is no one and he opens it. We following him from behind. I was slow, it close fast and Loon Tong is behind the wall with the guard. I waited for all day, the wall never open up."
Hu Li bend down and pick up her little friend. She put him in her shirt. She touch the wall, it is warm not like the walls in the other cells. Office Zhou comes walking up to her. He whisper and ask her if this is the wall they are looking for. Yu Bing nod his head and officer Zhou help to feel around the wall. Finally one of the brick stones that his hand have land on feels odd. He use his strength to press it. The wall shift inwards without making sound. Inside there are torches lighten and hanging on the wall. Officer Zhou signal his men who are standing at the far end the other side of the walk way to keep a watch out. While he and Yu Bing walks into the tunnel. When they enter, the wall shuts behind quietly. The tunnel is warm thus they staring to perspire with their sweat beads forming all over their faces. At the end of the tunnel after a long walk, they hear people talking. Getting on their feet, they crawl to see at the bottom is a huge space where a few men and woman making explosives. Each of them are cover with soot on their hands and faces. They don't sound like they are speaking in mandarin. Thus both of them cannot understand what they are saying. Hu Li noted that are two more passage way where they are working at. It must be tunnels where they push to get those explosive out. After seeing and observing enough, Officer Zhou signal Yu Bing to head back the opening wall. He wants to return to the office and discuss further with the whole team should they do. He crawl and walk in the tunnel to the fake wall. Office Zhou once again find the brick stone and press it. It open quietly and close but before it completely close, Hu Li hear a scream.
"Wait for me!!!!"
Loon Tong rush as fast as he can and squeeze through the gap that is big enough for him. Hu Li hurry to pick him up.
"Master!! I know..."
"Wait. Wait till we go home."
"Master! They are sending all the explosives out in the center of the city area!"
"Now??"
"Yes master! They are planning to test if it is strong enough to kill everyone there."
"What is it Yu Bing!"
Officer Zhou hears the busy squeaking of the rats on Yu Bing's hand and base on the face expression, there must be something wrong.
"They are moving the explosives to the center of the city."
Officer Zhou's lip twitch and his hands shake bit. He hurry to his men who are at the far end and Hu LI follow behind. With no time on hand, he divide his men. To evacuate the citizen within the area quietly. Another group to search through all cargos and big bags. Another group to search for suspicious people. He immediately dismiss them. The men all run out with the orders given on mind. While Hu Li notice one guard who is fidgeting while looking at them. She walk up to him and he pull down his helmet and walk out of the jail into the bright light. Hu Li hurry to follow him. The guard soon starts to brisk walking.
Han Kong and Loon Tong! Stay behind in the jail cell. I pick you up when i'm back. Keep a look out!"
"Yes master!"
The two rats leap out of her shirt and watch their master run with the wind. They look at each other and hurry to go inside the jail house.
Meanwhile Hu Li is running fast when suddenly there is a crowd of people out from nowhere block and stopping her. She try to get through by yelling and pushing. She see that the guard is removing his uniform as he run further away from her. She look up the rooftop. It's the only way without the congestion. She push her way to the small alley without people, she leap up using wall to wall. Getting on the rooftop she runs and leap fast. She use her far vision to see that he is still running within the crowd and still removing his uniform bit by bit. She see that his arm have a long scar, he must be that guard that the rats have seen.
