The three leading detectives were tall and strong; one held a breaching ram, another a shotgun, and the third was crouched, clutching a stun grenade, ready to throw at any moment.
Amidst the trio was the owner of Xinxin Lock Shop, a 32-year-old professional locksmith, a top disciple of the former king of thieves, and a community focal point. He obediently peered through the keyhole of the security door, his expression focused and muscles tense as if doing this for the first time.
Wearing protective goggles, Liu Zhuangshi watched the locksmith's professional display, unable to help but feel a bit worried.
The three kidnappers had specifically chosen this apartment with a well-secured door when renting. If the locksmith couldn't open the door, it would take several hits with the breaching ram, which would be quite a delay.
