Everyone has to face a lot of choices in his life, some of which are insignificant, and some of which are fate-determining.
As soon as I stepped out, my fate had already been decided.
At this critical moment, some memories flashed through Catalina's mind, including her despair when she was imprisoned in the water prison of the Earth God Cult, and her dazed persistence after being rescued from a high fever.
She lost something and gained something.
If her companions had not chosen to rescue her at that time and did not search for medicine for her regardless of the risk, she might have died in the dungeon of the Earth God Cult.
Human nature and tasks are often antagonistic.
This struggle will be even more intense when a person needs to face a group of seemingly non-threatening, unarmed old women and children, but receives an order to kill them.
Killing them will make you feel a little guilty and uneasy.
But if you don't kill them, they are very likely to become a huge danger to innocent people at some point.
Every choice will lead the future into an unknown fog.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Catalina led several team members to the door of the safe house, knocked on the door, and said, "Open the door. The killer may have released poisonous smoke. This door cannot be protected."
Indeed, no one thought that the killer would use possible biological and chemical weapons to carry out the assassination. Regardless of whether the pungent smoke was poisonous or not, the most critical thing at this time was Dulin's safety.
They only thought that the killer might use conventional weapons, poisoning, or even explosions to carry out the assassination, and they took precautions against this, but missed this most unlikely assassination method.
Once the entire villa is covered by the thick smoke, the safe house will definitely be entered through the gaps. Without knowing it, Du Lin will most likely be poisoned to death here.
"Really? I'll open the door right now..." It took Dulin more than ten seconds to open the six locks and push the heavy safety door open. There was already a trace of smoke floating around.
Catalina pressed a wet square towel to Du Lin's mouth and nose, "This can resist for a while. You follow me. If there is any sound, squat down immediately. Don't run around."
Du Lin seemed to be cooperating and nodded. He pressed the wet kerchief to his mouth and nose with one hand, and followed Catalina calmly and calmly as he walked outside.
"He made my villa a mess!" Dulin complained as he looked at the messy villa. Of course, he knew very well that these were definitely not done by the killer, but by the people around him.
Catalina glanced at him sideways, without saying anything in reply, and continued to walk towards the door with a vigilant posture.
Just as she was passing by the kitchen, Catalina hesitated and said, "Go and take the delivery boy with you. If he is innocent, then he should not die here."
Her agents nodded immediately. One of them opened the kitchen door and pushed the sleeping young man. The young man didn't even raise his head after being pushed awake. He kept rubbing his eyes. He seemed a little dissatisfied with being woken up. .
The agent didn't think much, explained the current situation as he walked, and led the young man to follow Catalina.
At this time, smoke could be seen everywhere in the villa. After the group left the villa, Catalina immediately asked someone to call the investigation team and ask them to send a vehicle to take them away.
In the absence of building protection, it provided a good environment for long-distance killing. The smoke was most likely to force them out of the villa.
It was even possible that the killer was somewhere suitable for sniping, targeting their group.
"Go to the utility room!" She put her hand on the back of Du Lin's head, and while alert to the surrounding movements, she stuffed Du Lin into the utility room outside the main building of the villa.
This utility room is filled with tools used by gardeners, as well as some messy things such as fertilizers. The space is not large, with only one door and one window.
Others were guarding outside the utility room, especially the door and windows, each with an agent guarding them.
At this time, it would still take at least five minutes for the convoy to leave for support to arrive. Due to Dulin's administration of Ambiro State and the state's business group and many other reasons, the city of Ovisto has become a lot more prosperous, and it is close to the state government. Nearby, there are a large number of real estate projects being developed.
The whole city exudes a fresh vitality, just like the city of Odis in the past.
One person, one development direction, and some preferential policies are enough to bring together the vast majority of entrepreneurs in Ambiro State who have the desire for further development. This also allows the already poor urban transportation to improve for the first time after its completion. Congestion occurred for the first time.
Before support arrived, Catalina and her people collected some similar burning cigarette bombs hanging in the vents. These items needed to be brought back for chemical testing to analyze the ingredients in them.
Military supplies have always been strictly controlled. Even in the underground world, military supplies do not appear frequently. The empire is particularly tight on this aspect.
If these cigarette bombs come from the military, they can have a general direction, find out where these cigarette bombs come from, and then follow the clues to identify some suspects.
If these cigarette bombs were made by the killers themselves, then based on the chemical raw materials used in them, they could also find some possible suspects based on some clues they had obtained before.
At the same time, he also checked to see if anyone was ambushing and hiding in the villa, and to find out if the killer had anything else hidden and possible clues.
At this moment, the delivery boy who had been left alone quietly stood up and approached the utility room. He had been walking close to some gardening and high walls, and the shadow under the moonlight became his best cover.
The utility room is located on the upper right side of the overall design plan of the villa, close to the corner, and is a relatively remote place.
In addition, this is Dulin's villa, the villa of the governor of Ambiluo State, so privacy is naturally a little stricter.
Most villas in the empire use short shrubs as fences to delineate the area, but here they use two-meter-high walls and some short trees.
This can effectively isolate the people from outside the villa and protect the people who come to visit Du Lin and the people Du Lin entertains.
He glanced at the agent standing with his back to the window, took out a coin from his pocket, stuck it on the tip of his thumb and index finger, and then flicked it!
The coin flipped in the air, crossed a beautiful parabola, and landed on the wall not far from the utility room window.
Ding!
In the previous chapter, a reader asked why there were no manpower deployed outside. In fact, high-standard security work is carried out indoors. It is unnecessary and useless to make security arrangements outside. As for why, tens of thousands of words are omitted here.
