Chapter 420: 153, the mouse’s tail has been caught!_2
Lin Siyu: Ah, right, right, right.
Zhang Li nodded gratefully and added, “We came up from the underground parking lot, through the T2 terminal building. The ring is most likely over there. Could you please find a few more people to help search for it?”
“Please rest assured, as soon as we find the ring, I have prepared an additional generous reward for you.”
The location was a fabrication, mainly because it was far enough to delay a significant amount of time for a round trip.
Upon hearing this, the cleaning lady’s heart blossomed with joy. After saying a few words to the other cleaners, all four of them came out of the door.
“Young man, don’t worry, our cleaning team has plenty of people, and we’ll definitely help you find the wedding ring.”
“Miss, don’t be angry, everyone loses things from time to time.”
“Right, right, right, we’ll definitely find it. Don’t worry.”
“Young man, leave your phone number with Auntie.”
“Thank you, Auntie, my phone number is 138…”
After taking down Zhang Li’s phone number, the four of them hurried off to contact their colleagues to help search for the gold ring in the T2 terminal building.
They surely intended to keep the bulk of the money, only planning to share a small portion with others.
However, cleaning staff wages are not high, so even if each person were given 50 yuan, the rest would still be eager to help keep an eye out.
Furthermore, the underground parking lot of the T2 terminal building is very far from the departure level. Even if they walked there and back, it would take at least 30 minutes.
By then, even if the police became aware, they would have already left the airport.
Lin Mo, having witnessed this scene, couldn’t help but think, “If the little sister had used such cleverness on her studies, she probably could have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University.”
Lin Changshui had not expected things to go so smoothly either.
As the two reached the door, Lin Siyu proudly said, “Bro, impressive, right?”
Lin Mo gave a thumbs up and genuinely complimented, “Impressive, but the danger isn’t resolved yet, we need to hurry out of here.”
The four entered the cleaning room.
The room was rectangular, about a dozen square meters, filled with various cleaning supplies, and in the middle of the ceiling was a ventilation duct made of plastic.
Abyss’s voice rang out: “[Abyss, you need to hurry, the police and Chen Shanhe’s men have moved up to the third floor.]
Lin Mo looked around and, seeing no ladder or similar object, simply crouched down, patted his shoulder and said, “Dad, step on my shoulder and go up first. Open the vent.”
Zhang Li squatted beside him, likewise patting his shoulder: “Uncle, it’s going to be tough.”
Lin Changshui, who had worked on construction sites his whole life, found this bit of labor no challenge at all. He looked around, found a piece of wire, and then stepped onto their shoulders.
Lin Mo and Zhang Li exerted force to lift Lin Changshui easily.
Using the iron bar to snake through the ventilation duct, Lin Changshui located the fastener behind it, wiggled it back and forth, then with a forceful motion, detached it and slid it over into the adjacent duct.
“Dad, you go up first,” Lin Mo said at that moment.
“Alright!”
Without hesitation, Lin Changshui placed his hands for support and with a thrust, he maneuvered into the duct.
Lin Mo and Zhang Li crouched down once more to send Lin Siyu up in the same way.
Finally, Lin Mo went first; Zhang Li ran and jumped up, Lin Mo and Lin Changshui caught his arms and pulled him up.
The duct was quite low, only about 20 centimeters in height, over a dozen centimeters in width, and filthy due to the lack of cleaning, with rodent droppings everywhere.
But for Lin Mo and his family, they weren’t in a position to be concerned about that now.
Escaping was the priority.
Following Abyss’s instructions, Lin Mo zigzagged through the labyrinth-like ventilation ducts, which took them roughly 20 minutes, and they finally arrived at a location on the first floor of the airport.
Peering through a slit, it seemed to be a kitchen with many chefs and staff busy at work.
Abyss’s voice came again: “[Abyss, you now need to find a way to get down, enter the kitchen’s sewage system, and then follow it out of the airport.]
[I have set up a tracker on your wife’s car; they will be waiting for you at the drainage exit.]
[This is the only way out of the airport!]”
After listening to Abyss’s analysis, Lin Mo couldn’t help but frown deeply.
Before, they had used money to bribe the cleaning ladies to leave their break room temporarily.
But now, stuck in the ventilation ducts, how could they make the kitchen’s staff leave?
It was virtually impossible.
Although Lin Mo found it difficult, he didn’t give up and turned to those behind him, “This is the last hurdle before our victory. Everyone, think of a way to make the chefs in the kitchen leave, even if it’s just temporary.”
“As long as they leave, we can escape through the kitchen’s sewage system out of the airport!”
With this statement, the others also fell into deep thought, desperately trying to come up with a solution. Fortunately, this time they were not so pressed for time, and they just needed to come up with a plan before the police found them.
…
Inside the airport.
Hundreds of officers were continuously searching every passenger in the airport, allowing them to proceed only after a brief makeup removal.
The scene was chaotic, with many passengers starting to cause a commotion and be uncooperative with the police investigation.
This was especially true after hearing some international flights were delayed due to the search, causing numerous passengers to start protesting.
