When everyone put down their guns, the lights in the mall went out, and silence enveloped the surroundings. This building was like a cardboard box with two poisonous snakes hidden, making everyone nervous.
After waiting for a full minute, when the light at the front door turned on, Lin Qiupu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted inside with a loudspeaker: "We have put down the gun. Now let us see the hostages."
"Please come in!" Ling Shuang's voice came from inside the building, not through the broadcast this time.
Lin Qiupu pushed open the door, and everyone followed. It was empty and big. The ground was covered with dust and some construction waste was scattered. A glass booth was placed between the two rows of columns. There was something on it that everyone didn’t see. What Qing is, only Chen Shi can recognize it.
A cigar cutter!
Just as he expected, Ling Shuang planned to avenge the revenge of breaking his fingers last time, and he took a deep breath.
A light suddenly turned on above his head, and I saw Ling Shuang standing on the edge of the corridor on the second floor. Xu Xiaodong was tied to a chair with a rope around his neck, and the other end of the rope was tied to a section of the ceiling. Rebar.
Xu Xiaodong was gagged and blindfolded. The front two legs of the chair under him were hung in the air, and the back two legs were on the edge of the second floor. Ling Shuang held the back of the chair with his hand to maintain it in a terrible way. balance.
As long as she pushes slightly, Xu Xiaodong will be "hanged", and the falling gravity may instantly break his neck.
"What are you doing!" Lin Qiupu growled, "I warn you, there are all special police outside..."
"Of course I know." Ling Shuang grinned, "Before we negotiate, we have to deal with a historical issue..." She raised her left hand and saw that she was wearing a rubber finger cot on her thumb.
"What do you mean?" Lin Qiupu asked.
"I understand what she meant." Chen Shi stood up, "Miss Ling, you really are the one who has revenge."
"Mr. Chen, you are also a sensible person, do you know what to do to make me satisfied?"
Chen Shi glanced at the cigar cutter placed on the counter. It was very sharp. It only takes a single tap to cut your fingers. Chen Shi said: "I have a suggestion. Anyway, you and I have old grudges. It's better to use me in exchange for Officer Xu. "
"Ha ha ha ha!" Ling Shuang sneered, "The hostage exchange trick? Excuse me, you have to follow my script!"
"Where is Zhou Xiao?" Chen Shi looked around, "He did the lights here on and off, right?"
"Do you arrogantly think that I haven't seen negotiation psychology? Delaying time is a trick of negotiation experts. If you ask one more question, I will push Officer Xu from here!"
"After pushing down, the special police rushed in and beat you into a sieve?"
"Are you cutting it or not?"
"Can I cut this one?" Chen Shi gave a little thumb up. "It's really inconvenient without the thumb. I usually have to do food and drive."
A smile appeared on Ling Shuang's face like a mask. After three seconds, his smile subsided, and suddenly some liquid was spilled from the top of his back and poured onto everyone's heads. The strong, pungent gasoline smell immediately filled the entire space.
Everyone immediately turned their heads and saw a person standing on the high platform with a lighter in his hand. The flame illuminates his face. That person is "Song Lang".
"Song Lang" shouted in a gloomy voice: "I only ask once, who killed Zhou Tiannan!"
Could this be the purpose of their hijacking!
Seeing this face, Lin Qiupu only felt his heart tighten. He had imagined the scene of the two reuniting countless times, but he had never imagined such a dangerous and tit-for-tat scene. He said, "You are really Song Lang!"
"Do you miss me, Lin Qiupu!" The lighter can only illuminate his nose and eyes, without seeing the movement of his mouth.
"You... You..." Lin Qiupu panted heavily, all kinds of emotions collided in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Don't be fooled!" Chen Shi said, "Pay attention to his eyes. They are human skin masks. It's good to deceive surveillance, but it's exposed in person. You are Zhou Xiao!"
Zhou Xiao no longer maintained that gloomy voice, and replaced the usual arrogant voice, "Someone has seen me through, I am not Song Lang, so where is Song Lang really?"
Ling Shuang also laughed happily, like a cat playing with its prey.
Chen Shi gritted his teeth, the voice in his heart admonished him, say it here, say it here!
But he still couldn't take this step. It was not a word, it was a hard shell draped on his body for four years, and it was too heavy to be pushed away from the inside.
Chen Shi's breathing became disordered. Thinking back to the night when he confronted Zhou Xiao, the bloody smell of his lover and mentor floated in the air. From that moment on, his world fell apart, and he could never go back to the past.
Chen Shi was furious, and walked over to grab the cigar cutter and clicked hard. His screams echoed in the building. Lin Dongxue was covering her mouth, and seeing a finger dropped in a pool of blood, she hurried over.
"No, I'm okay!" Chen Shi panted away from her, not wanting to be seen the wound, he looked up, "Use me to exchange Officer Xu, it doesn't matter how you treat me, I don't care anymore!"
"Old Chen..." Lin Dongxue called out heartbroken.
"Hahahaha!" Zhou Xiao laughed, Ling Shuang also laughed, the two crazy laughter shook the air above everyone's heads.
"This guy thinks he has a lot of weight, he thinks he is the protagonist, hahahaha... Oops!" Zhou Xiao smiled too deeply, the lighter in his hand fell off, and everyone was shocked.
But this was just a prank by him. After the lighter fell for a short distance, he steadily caught it with his other hand, whirled it fancyly a few times on his finger, and was thrown high up. Everyone’s heart followed that. The bright spot went up and down, and finally it was caught by Zhou Xiao and placed on the railing, burning like a candle.
He continued his previous topic, "You must have investigated, tell me what you found, who went there that day, and whose fingerprints and DNA were on Zhou Tiannan's body, tell me all!"
"We did not find a clear clue." Lin Qiupu said.
"You lied!" Zhou Xiao roared, "The police must have found something, but you think he is guilty of concealing it and not reporting it!"
"That's your idea. No matter how evil Zhou Tiannan is, he is also an ordinary victim in our eyes. We have checked everything that should be investigated, and we have not found the murderer! Many of his things are still mysteries. If you can provide information, maybe There will be some help."
Chen Shi bent over and clutched his bleeding hand and said, "I am the last person to see him!"
Lin Dongxue said: "Me too!"
"Mr. Chen, you are very eager to sacrifice yourself!" Ling Shuang said, "It seems that in your cognition, death is not terrible, and the secret is revealed to be truly terrible. What is this called? Learned helplessness !"
A pair of doubtful eyes looked at Chen Shi.
Zhou Xiao said: "We have known this for a long time. What we want is things we don't know yet, things you hide!"
"The paranoia, we didn't hide any clues at all!" Lin Dongxue shouted angrily.
Zhou Xiao's eyes fell cold, "Ling Shuang, do it!"
