The sky had completely darkened, and the sky was filled with stars. At the corner of the sky, there was a comet that looked like a hole in the curtain of night, leaking a ray of light. It was hanging in the sky and was flying over the planet at an extraordinary speed.
However, on this planet, in this tiny corner of the vast earth, evil things are happening.
"Da Zhuang! Selling sweet potatoes!"
Such sounds made the skin on the faces of the five gangsters, including Liu Zhiguo, twitch.
The gangster named Ma Bin beside the van pulled out a rod from the back seat. It was obvious that he couldn't stand the noise.
Liu Zhiguo, nicknamed "Lao Niu", was a human trafficker active in Southeast Asia. People who didn't know him would naturally think he was doing shady things like smuggling people... However, even some well-known figures in the underworld kept their distance from him. Because hearsay or unconfirmed things showed that Liu Zhiguo was not simple.
In fact, he was a complete devil. The kidnapping gang he was in had killed people in large numbers. Whenever they arrived at a place, they would choose well-known local figures to carry out their operations. Moreover, their methods were secretive and advanced, and they were closely connected with foreign forces in money laundering. Therefore, they would always ask the victims' families to transfer money and use financial methods to take the ransom, while at the same time disposing of the hostages without leaving any bodies... This created huge obstacles and difficulties in solving the case.
They always do things cleanly and leave no traces.
Liu Zhiguo even gave special training to his kidnapping gang. Every member of them was quick and agile, and they performed at a professional level whether killing people or cleaning up the aftermath.
At this time, facing the person who came back, Liu Zhiguo finally waved his hand again, "Let him go!"
He didn't want to cause any trouble, and he had wondered whether the man was a lunatic or just pretending to be crazy.
But the pink dress still dispelled his suspicion. In fact, this was the reason why he didn't shoot immediately.
Even if someone was watching nearby and spotted them and wanted to stop them in this way, it was impossible for a man to wear women's clothes that were one size smaller... This was obviously impossible to prepare at the last minute... It could be inferred that this person was really a lunatic.
Liu Zhiguo was meticulous in his work and escaped the pursuit of public security organs many times. In fact, it was because he had served in the army and learned reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance in the army, as well as his strong logical reasoning ability.
In other words, he was very confident, and it was this confidence that made him conclude that this was just a coincidence based on Cheng Ran's unkempt hair and clothes.
…
Cheng Ran really couldn't understand why the other party hadn't made any move yet...
Although this is a good thing, he is really treated as a wandering lunatic.
Not taking the bait yet
Cheng Ran touched his trouser pocket. It was the jeans he changed into this morning. Inside was a stack of papers that he forgot to take out and ended up washing and drying with his trousers. He hid behind a tree and unfolded the papers in the night light. It was the letter paper that Yang Xia handed to him at the waiting platform of No. 22 bus. Written on it was... a poem.
That was a poem by Sun Jichao that Yang Xia had copied. Yang Xia had asked him to throw it into the trash can to show his attitude, but he put it in his trouser pocket instead.
It just so happens that this time I’ll use my big move…
After a rustling, the criminals saw him coming back again.
This time he spoke in a rhythmic way, using half-baked Mandarin, "Like a sad gaze, I love autumn. On foggy and quiet days, I often walk into the woods..."
"The grass is all withered... My whole heart is intoxicated with a happy and free sadness..."
You are reciting poetry! You are still sad, you are still quiet, can you let us be quiet for a while... Before you went crazy, you were still a cultured person!
Among the five gangsters here, someone gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Fuck..."
The man named Ma Bin turned around and said to Liu Zhiguo with a sullen expression, "Lao Niu... I really can't stand this... I'm going to kill him!"
Liu Zhiguo finally lowered his face and issued an order that sounded like justice to these people, "Be clean and come back quickly!"
Ma Bin picked up the iron rod and rushed towards the madman like a leopard.
As a result, when they were about to get within dozens of meters, the madman over there suddenly burst into a scream, "Murder! Murder!... Help!" Then the madman ran up the mountain as if he was escaping for his life.
The five criminals were dumbfounded. In such a quiet forest, the sound startled many birds. They were not sure if the sound was heard by anyone passing by nearby. Liu Zhiguo was furious and asked Ma Bin to do it cleanly. What the hell was going on!
The gangster named Ma Bin was holding back his anger as he followed the madman up the mountain. When he saw the madman running away while shouting "Murder!", his anger grew stronger and stronger. He even imagined smashing the guy's face with an iron rod to vent his anger.
But as he climbed, the madman turned a corner and disappeared.
Ma Bin stood in front of a protruding platform for a while, as if to catch his breath. Suddenly he saw the mountain path on the side and a pink figure flashed past.
He felt something was wrong. How could this madman change his path so quickly? But the urgent anger diluted his feeling of wrongness, and he rushed towards the figure with the iron rod.
However, when he rushed to that road, the next moment he stepped on the seemingly thick road of dead pine leaves, and the result was a sound of broken branches.
The dead pine leaves collapsed, and the small branches supporting the leaves also broke, revealing the mountain cracks that covered the broken road.
This is a trap.
His face changed, and he screamed "Ah!" before he fell down from the crevice. The drop was probably six or seven meters, and the key point was that there were rocks and broken tree stumps under the crevice, so he probably broke his leg. Ma Bin's screams startled the night sky.
"Damn it! Something happened! Chase after him!"
Liu Zhiguo reloaded his gun, and the gangsters on the tower also came down. The four men no longer cared about the hostages on the broken bridge and climbed up the mountain over there.
…
…
Cheng Ran saw Jiang Hongshao, who had helped to attract the gangster in front to fall down the mountain crevice, continue running along the path, so he turned around and heard the sound of the gangsters hitting the grass leaves at the foot of the mountain. He hugged a tree and shook it hard.
Liu Zhiguo quickly came to the crevice where the accident happened and saw Ma Bin, who was trapped in the crevice, with his thigh pierced by a sharp tree stump and bleeding profusely. This was an artery injury, and in this case, he could not go to the hospital, so Ma Bin had no choice but to stay here.
"It's a trap... Brother Liu... We've been ambushed!"
Liu Zhiguo retreated from the crevice in the mountain and saw the rustling of leaves on the hilltop over there.
Liu Zhiguo raised his hand with red eyes and fired a shot.
The sound of gunfire shook the forest.
Cheng Ran successfully led this group of people to his route, and then he ran all the way in the opposite direction of Jiang Hongshao. Jiang Hongshao was safe, and if he wanted to be safe, he just had to run for his life!
Over the mountains and hills, don't wait for anyone...
Thinking about these messy lyrics or thoughts in his mind, Cheng Ran ran forward frantically.
There was a sudden, low rustling sound coming from the hill ahead, and the sound of dead leaves being stepped on came densely.
Cheng Ran's heart suddenly felt as if it was immersed in ice water.
How can these criminals be so fast!
He looked up and just saw several figures rushing out of the woods.
The one in front of them was holding a pistol, and the two of them stared at each other.
Who else could it be but my cousin Cheng Bin!
Cheng Ran suddenly felt his collar tighten and he was dragged over by a huge force.
Cheng Bin tucked him behind him like a child and made a gesture to silence him.
How could Cheng Ran not know how powerful he was
Only then did he feel his whole body trembling.
While he was trembling, figures in police uniforms were walking into the night from all directions behind him, heading in the opposite direction from where he was heading towards the dark abyss.
A moment later.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of gunfire rang out.
Then there were shouts from all directions, "Police! Put your hands up!"
"Put your hands up!"
Raise your hand…
Ears buzzing, sound fades away...
Up to this moment, all of Cheng Ran's physical strength and energy for the day had been overdrawn to the extreme. After he relaxed his body and mind, he only felt that all his senses around him were fading away, and then he passed out.
