C71 (1/2)
”Don't be afraid!” I chuckled, ”We need the most direct evidence so we can only go deeper into the tiger's cave. It should have been me, but Xiaofaan just happened to be unconscious, so she can just be a hostage for the both of us!”
I said, ”Your Sis Little Fann knows how to behave. She's so good at it, there's no problem!”
After calming Wei Shijie's emotions, I carried the unconscious Da Qiangzi on my back and climbed out from a sewer.
When I opened the lid, Wei Shijie was already waiting for me there. Looking at the sunlight that hadn't shone for a long time, I sighed in my heart. Perhaps the Japanese would never imagine that there would still be people secretly using the basement they used to commit evil deeds in the past. And this time, those people were actually the ”victims”. What kind of irony was that?
Beep, beep, beep.....
My train of thoughts was awoken by the sound of a phone ringing. I picked up the phone and realized that it was Liao Mengfann calling me. At that moment, I had a very bad feeling. I picked up the phone, ”Hello?”
Liao Mengfann's moans came from the other side of the phone, she seemed to be panting heavily, ”Quick … ”Let's go, don't come to the public security …”
Bang!
Following the sound of a gunshot, I heard a burst of glass shattering, and then, from the other side of the phone, came a sudden clamor of a group of people, both male and female. ”Catch, catch, that girl got shot, oh my god, how did she die!”
When I heard this, my heart felt as if it had been pierced by thousands of needles. My hands shook, but I didn't drop the phone.
I stood dumbly on the spot, the phone in my hand trembling violently. After about 10 seconds, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, ”What are you talking about? Aren't you still breathing?” Hurry up and ask Captain Jiang what to do! Aiya, my god, hurry up, blood is oozing out … ”
Just then, Liao Mengfann's number suddenly hung up. I tightly gripped my phone as my eyes stared at the name of Jiang Shan on the contact list. My fingers rubbed against the call button the entire time. I thought about it for a while, then shook my head. I dialed County Head Mu's name.
After thinking about it, I feel that I should still talk to County Head Mu. Whether it's the personal files or the descriptions of the masses, he can truly be considered a good official in my heart. Although he is the murderer in this case, sometimes, the murderer can't be completely called a bad person. It's like Yang Tianwa and Lee Futian the father and son who were both in the case of the lotus root female corpse.
The phone rang for about half a minute before County Head Mu picked up. He coughed heavily for a while, and then said, ”Sorry for the trouble!”
”Heh …” I coldly said, ”It's really troublesome. Let's get straight to the point. What do you plan to do?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the County Head Mu said to me, ”Can you give me ten hours? I guarantee that you will leave safely, and even I and Jiang Shan will follow you! ”
I checked the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, so wouldn't it be midnight in ten hours? What did he want? However, I could not agree to his request. I resolutely said to him, ”I am sorry, but I cannot agree to your request! I hope you can turn yourself in and seek redemption! ”
”Sigh!” County Head Mu weakly sighed, his voice sounded depressed as he said to me: ”Oh god's will, comrade Lu, I hope you do not come to the Public Security Bureau. Jiang Shan's emotions were very unstable, he just shot and injured that female comrade of yours, but she has already been sent to the hospital, so she should be fine!”
County Head Mu continued to say: ”I will handle the situation over at the river and mountains, I hope you can trust me, I will bring him here to surrender, after tonight's matter, everything can end!”
Before I could reply, County Head Mu took the initiative to hang up. I dialed again, but the other end of the phone had become busy. It seemed that the County Head Mu had disconnected from the phone.
There were sirens in the distance, and when I ran out of the back alley of the hospital alone, I saw a police car with lights on coming towards the hospital from the distance.
The police car stopped in front of the hospital and an old policeman ran down from the driver's seat. He quickly ran out of the car and opened the rear door. Immediately after, I saw two middle-aged women pull the unconscious Liao Mengfann out of the police car. One of the women carried Liao Mengfann on her back, while the other held onto Liao Mengfann's arm.
The old policeman ran in front and pulled open the door of the hospital. I heard that the woman who was supporting Liao Mengfann's arm, when the gate of the hospital was pulled open, she shouted towards the insides of the hospital while grabbing onto her neck, ”Doctor, come and save us!”
The woman's shout gradually disappeared as the hospital gates closed, at the moment, I was standing on the spot clenching my fists tightly, I really wanted to rush forward to check on Liao Mengfann, to see how she was doing, is he seriously injured? However, reason told me that I could not go forward.
I returned to the alley of the hospital. Da Qiangzi had lost too much blood at this time, if I didn't treat him soon, I felt that he wouldn't be able to live for long. I gave the car keys to Wei Shijie and told him to drive my car to this alley. The two of us carried Da Qiangzi onto the car and found a small community clinic in the map.
It's not that I don't want to go to the big hospital, but that there will definitely be an accomplice of Jiang Shan and the others in the Shanghe County hospital right now, even though County Head Mu had promised me that he would lead Jiang Shan to surrender. But can a criminal be trusted?
