C220 The puppet is gone (1/2)

After all, if a large number of police officers were to die here, it would definitely be followed by a search and arrest of the entire city.

”I really didn't think that we would meet again so soon. You two really never behave yourselves.”

There was a mocking expression on Zhongshan's face, making me feel ashamed. I wanted to retort, but I couldn't find the words to refute it. If it wasn't for the fact that they rushed here in time, Tang Rou and I probably wouldn't even have had our souls left.

”How did you let them escape? We spent a lot of effort to lure them over here.”

Tang Rou's reaction was timely and she immediately threw the pot back.

”You're obviously acting good after getting the money. However, it's true that you've helped us tonight. Although the most important one ran away, you've at least caught two people.”

”Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a bit of regret. That woman won't be able to leave for a day. This city probably won't be able to rest peacefully for a day. After all, Tang Rou and I still have something that they want.”

”Tell me exactly what happened tonight. I saved your lives, didn't I?”

Zhongshan's men had already taken the two captives away, leaving only the slender woman by his side. I remembered, the one who saved my life earlier was that girl. She had a pretty face, but her personality was even colder and she never said a word.

”Thank you for saving us. I will remember this favor.”

I'm not stupid. If I admit that I was saved by Zhongshan Cloak, the other party might even use this matter as a threat to get me to join his organisation. Thus, my words of thanks are meant for that girl.

The girl only looked coldly at me before turning her head away. She didn't pay any attention to me, making me feel extremely awkward.

”Brat, you really know how to trick people. Now that something like this has happened within my jurisdiction, I have the right to bring both of you back.”

This businesslike tone made me especially annoyed, but I didn't want to offend him, so I told him about what happened in the building. Of course, I didn't tell him about the ghost girl and the old lady's dream.

”In that case, you guys are still warm-hearted towards the good citizens?”

Zhongshan Hua gave me an extremely ugly smile. He always felt that the other party's eyes were like those of a fox, an old fox that could see through your thoughts at any moment. Furthermore, he had always been scheming on how to swallow you up without even a single strand of hair remaining.

”There's nothing we can do. The two of us saw that there was something strange in this building, so we prepared to come here to check on the situation. We didn't expect to meet this group of people.”

”There is indeed something strange in this building. They should be refining puppets here. That thing is in your hands now, right?”

The girl spoke coldly. She must have already inspected the interior of the building and figured out the situation inside. However, the puppet had disappeared. This matter was beyond my expectations.

”The item isn't with us, and it was inside the house not long ago. I think they probably took it.”

Tang Rou and I looked at each other and both felt that this was a bit inconceivable because after the three of us met, they hadn't left our line of sight. They also wouldn't have enough time to go into the house and take the puppet away.

”Then what did they ask you for just now? Furthermore, those two people do not have it on them. ”

This woman's interrogative tone made me feel even more uncomfortable.

”How should I know? Why don't you all look for it more carefully? ”

At this point, I could only make things up.
