Chapter 52: Double Hand Interlocking Technique

  Upon hearing the sound, Tang Xiaosheng turned his head to see that seven or eight people were holding guns at him. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that among these seven or eight people was a woman, and this woman was Lin Shishi.

  It turned out that Lin Shishi and several other detectives had arrived.

  As Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang both wore cartoon masks on their faces, Lin Shishi didn't recognize them either. She then shouted: "Put your hands up, no tricks!"

  "Officer Lin, it's me!" Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng quickly removed the gray wolf cartoon mask from his face.

  "Lin sister, it's me!" Guo Xiang also removed the cartoon sheep mask from her own face.

  "Tang Xiaosheng? Guo Yixiang? How is it you two?" Lin Shishi was stunned for a moment, nodded to the criminal police colleague beside her to confirm that they were their own people, then walked over and asked, "Tang Xiaosheng, didn't you say Guo Yixiang was kidnapped? Where's the kidnapper?"

  Tang Xiaosheng pointed to a nearby location and said, "Guo Yixiang was indeed kidnapped, and the kidnapper has been tied up over there."

  Lin Shi and several other detectives rushed in the direction that Tang Xiao Sheng pointed, and indeed found Hu Da Qiang and five other kidnappers. The five kidnappers were now unconscious and tied together with ropes.

  Seeing this scene, the detectives were also at a loss, having never seen such a kidnapping case before. They had just learned that Guo Yixiang was kidnapped and were preparing to take up arms and have a big battle with the kidnappers, only to find out that it wasn't like that at all when they saw the situation in front of them.

  The hostages who were tied up by the kidnappers are safe and sound, lighting a bonfire and hugging their guitars while singing happily; while the kidnappers themselves are unconscious, tightly bound together, waiting for the police to deal with them. If it weren't for the relatively clear circumstances of the case, it would be hard to tell who were the kidnappers and who were the hostages.

  Afterwards, several detectives inquired about the details of the kidnapping case and collected some relevant criminal evidence from the surrounding area. After completing the on-site inquiry records, the detectives took Hu Dajiang and five other kidnappers down the mountain, with Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang naturally following them down the mountain.

  Actually, Guo Xiang was a bit reluctant to leave, because too many wonderful things happened here today: she and Tang Xiaosheng watched the sunset together for the first time; they chatted around the bonfire together for the first time; she sang with her guitar in front of Tang Xiaosheng for the first time; Tang Xiaosheng kissed her cheek for the first time to help her tear off the adhesive tape on her mouth... And, she put her hand behind Tang Xiaosheng's butt for the first time. Although this thing is not wonderful, at least it has a strong memorial significance.

  As several detectives were carrying lighting tools, the descent was smooth and they arrived at the foot of the mountain in less than an hour. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw four police cars and a Chevrolet sedan.

  Several other detectives escorted the five captors to the police station, while Lin Shishi drove Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang home in her Chevrolet.

  On his way home, Tang Xiaosheng learned some astonishing news from Lin Shishi's conversation: Xia Bai escaped from prison last night!

  This morning, the prison guards found that Xia Bai was no longer in his cell during their rounds. After a preliminary investigation by the police, it is believed that Xia Bai escaped from the prison last night, and the method of escape may have been to bribe some of the prison guards with money.

  After Xia Bai escaped from prison, the police have issued a wanted notice and are conducting a manhunt throughout the city. However, so far, there has been no news.

  After learning that Xia Bai had escaped from prison, Tang Xiao Sheng was also very puzzled. Xia Bai hired someone to beat people up, at most he would be sentenced to a few years in prison, it seemed unnecessary for him to escape from prison. This matter sounded like there were some ulterior motives, it didn't seem so simple.

  Xia Bai was imprisoned because of Tang Xiaosheng, now he has escaped and may be unfavorable to Tang Xiaosheng. The police suspected that the mastermind behind today's kidnapping case is Xia Bai.

  Tang Xiaosheng had originally suspected that the mastermind behind this kidnapping case was Long Tianhao, but now it seems more likely that the mastermind is actually Xia Bai.

  Although the kidnapping case was stopped in time today, Xia Bai may not give up easily. In order to ensure Tang Xiaosheng's personal safety, Deputy Director of Beijing Public Security Bureau, Bao Zhiming, instructed to secretly provide him with 24-hour protection until Xia Bai is caught.

  As Lin Shishi is currently in charge of protecting Guo Yixiang, and Tang Xiaosheng happens to live with Guo Yixiang, the task of protecting Tang Xiaosheng also falls on Lin Shishi.

  More than half an hour later, the car drove to Jiayuan Community, and Tang Xiaosheng, Guo Xiang, and Lin Shishi got off together and took the elevator to the 15th floor of Building A.

  When they arrived at the door of Tang Xiaosheng's home, he said to Lin Shishi: "Officer Lin, it's been a real hassle for you today. Why don't you come in and have dinner with me?"

  "After dinner, you've been kidnapped today, your girlfriend must be very anxious, so I won't bother you two. Lin Shishi smiled and teased, then paused and said, "Xia Bai has escaped now, if there's nothing else going on, just stay at home for the next two days and don't go out. If anything happens, contact me anytime."

  "Go."

  Lin Shishi then entered her room 15-2 alone, while Tang Xiaosheng and Gu Xiang returned home.

  When they arrived home, they found that Little Dragon Girl had already prepared dinner for them. A few hours ago, when Tang Xiaosheng was still on the mountain of Nanfeng, he called Little Dragon Girl to report their safety, and she learned that they were safe and would be back home soon, so she started cooking noodles.

  Because there was not much money at home, they could not afford to buy expensive food. The noodles cooked by Little Dragon Girl were very simple, with only a few ingredients: flour, celery, mushrooms, and three eggs. The taste was nothing special, but Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang had been busy for half a day and were already starving, so they both ate with relish.

  At dinner time, Little Dragon Girl anxiously asked about today's kidnapping incident. Tang Xiaosheng then briefly stated the course of events.

  "Long'er, both Xiang'er and I were tied up by the bandits with ropes at that time. If it wasn't for your jade bee bottle, we might not have been able to escape," Tang Xiaosheng analyzed.

  The little dragon girl's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said lightly: "Actually, it's not difficult to get rid of the rope tied on your hands. As long as you learn the 'Double Hand Entwining Technique', you can easily do it."

  "Double-handed interlocking technique"

  As for this set of martial arts, Tang Xiaosheng is naturally not unfamiliar with it. This was created by Zhou Botong, the Old Mischief, when he and Huang Yaoshi were trapped on Peach Blossom Island. Due to the extreme boredom of their life there, he began fighting with his own left and right hands, resulting in the creation of this strange martial art.

  The little dragon girl continued to add: "One of the great wonders of the 'Double-handed Mutual Grasping Technique' is that it fully utilizes the functions of both hands, using one mind to control two hands as if they were two people. As long as you master this technique, and your hands are coordinated enough, it's not difficult to break free from the ropes tied around your hands."

  Listening to her say this, Guo Xiang suddenly became curious and asked in a childish voice: "Long sister, since the 'Double Hand Mutual Fighting Technique' is so powerful, I want to learn it. Can you teach me?"

  The little dragon girl smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Of course, I can teach you, but to master this skill, one must be able to do two things at once, not everyone can learn it."

  After dinner, at Guo Xiang's request, Little Dragon Girl began to teach how to use the "Double-handed Mutual Grappling Technique" to untie the rope. With such a unique martial art to learn, Tang Xiaosheng naturally wouldn't miss it, so he stood aside and watched.

  To give Guo Xiang a more intuitive understanding of the "Double-handed Mutual Capture Technique", Little Dragon Girl decided to personally demonstrate once how to use this set of martial arts to break free from the rope.

  Tang Xiao Sheng and Guo Xiang then found two ropes at home, and started to tie up Little Dragon Girl. Guo Xiang tied Little Dragon Girl's hands behind her back with the rope, and made a dead knot; Tang Xiao Sheng squatted down, tying the rope tightly around Little Dragon Girl's ankles.

  After tying up, Tang Xiao Sheng and Guo Xiang stood aside, wanting to see with their own eyes the process of Little Dragon Maiden struggling free from the ropes.

  "Dragon boy, you can start now." Tang Xiaosheng said.

  No sooner had he finished speaking than he was shocked to find that Little Dragon Girl's hands had already moved from behind her back to the front, and the ropes on her hands had vanished. After a quick scan, he found that the rope had fallen to the ground at some unknown time.
