In the chaos, Li Qing crossed the street and rushed into a winding alley. He turned and bumped his head into a soft and delicate body.
Qiao Xue pulled him to his side and said angrily with a red face: "how are you so irritable..."
"I'm chasing people." Li Qing blinked. "What are you doing here?"
I can still hear gunshots, but I'm getting farther and farther away from myself. He raised his head and looked up. He could see several guys on the roof sticking out their heads and pointing their guns at the entrance of the alley not far away.
"Look." Qiao Xue raised her jade hand and pointed to the distance, "everyone is running for their lives, only he stayed."
Li Qing looked in the direction she pointed out and saw a young man in a black jacket squatting in front of a grocery store, talking to a little girl playing with a plastic toy car.
The little girl is only eight or nine years old. Now she is smiling and seems to have a good impression of the sudden emergence of her big brother.
Li Qing's face suddenly changed, and her voice couldn't help changing her tone: "how did this happen?"
"There are too many people around here. It's easy to take hostages." Qiao Xuexiu frowned. "He deliberately stayed here, obviously to attract our attention and buy time for others to escape."
"I heard Fang Yong say that there are seven or eight people in total?"
Qiao Xue nodded her snow-white chin, took out several photos from her pocket and handed one to Li Qingdao: "Yes, but this man is the leader. His name is Wu Ji. He is a trainee of the same period as Cheng Xin. He once served his sentence in shark Castle prison in the United States and later escaped with 11 outlaws. He is one of the few Demeter members we can know the details. I have assigned most of my staff to catch the accomplice, but this one in front of us is obviously more important to us."
Li Qing took the photo and compared it with the young man at the entrance of the alley in front. He looked thoughtful: "Wu Ji? Since it is the same issue as Cheng Xin... I should know her whereabouts."
Qiao Xue glanced at him gently: "I knew that you helped me hypocritically on the surface. In essence, you were looking for Cheng Xin's whereabouts."
"There are both." Li Qing stuffed the picture back into the pocket in front of the woman's chest and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Wen Yang and Qin WuChao also chased after them. You don't have to worry about others. Let's think of a way first to catch the boy."
"He has hostages in his hand. It's difficult to do it." Qiao Xuexiu frowned, "and such people may commit suicide at any time in order to resist arrest. If we want to keep alive, we can't force him too hard."
While talking, she raised her jade hand and waved, and the men who were lying in ambush all around retreated silently.
Seeing that these people were well-trained, Li Qing asked, "are these people from Yanjing judicial bureau?"
"Don't ask so many questions. The immediate trouble hasn't been solved yet." Qiao Xue sipped her small mouth and looked down at the watch on the jade wrist. "There's so much noise here. The people in the inspector's office will come soon. We don't have much time."
"Well, I'll meet him first. The credit this time can't be robbed by others." Li Qing said and was about to leave. Suddenly he felt that his wrist was caught.
He turned his head, looked at Qiao Xue behind him without blinking, and whispered, "what's the matter?"
"Be careful." Qiao Xue gently told her, and took back her jade hand.
Li Qing nodded, pulled off his beard and glasses, and then strode towards the grocery store at the entrance of the alley.
"Wu Ji!" he raised his hand and shouted.
The young man who was talking to the little girl raised his head and stared at the visitor with a stagnant look.
After that, his slightly pursed corners of his mouth burst into a bright smile: "it's Li Qing."
At this moment, two guys who had never met seemed like old friends they had not seen for many years, almost laughing at each other strangely.
The little girl looked up and wondered, "big brother, who is this?"
"This is my friend," Wu Jishen replied in a hoarse voice. "I specially asked him to come and play games with you."
The eight or nine year old girl looked at Li Qing and tilted her head: "I've seen him on TV. His name is Li Qing."
Wu Ji nodded: "yes, it's Li Qing."
"He is the master of the Li family. Everyone is afraid of him."
"Ha ha." Wu Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and touched the back of the little girl's head. "You're wrong. He's a clown."
"Clown? But dad said..."
Wu Ji interrupted her: "your father is lying to you. He is a clown in the circus. He shows off his tricks every day just to make people laugh."
The little girl was more confused, but Wu Ji looked up and sneered, "Li Qing, just stand there."
"OK." Li Qing stopped seven or eight meters away from them.
He leaned slightly and asked with a smile, "little sister, where are your parents?"
"Well... They went shopping. Let me see the shop."
"Oh, what are you playing with?"
"The police chased the fugitive." the little girl shook the car in her hand and replied with milk.
Li Qing saw that the toy in her hand was a small police car. After looking at the smiling Wu Ji squatting on one side, her eyes couldn't help twitching. The police chase the fugitive? That's ironic
"Wu Ji," he said coldly, "we might as well speak in another place. There's no need to scare the children here."
"Hehe, do you think I scared her? We haven't had enough fun yet." Wu Ji said with a smile. He took out the hand he had been carrying behind his back and handed the pistol he held tightly to the little girl. "Little sister, can I give you this?"
The little girl gave a small body and stared at the gun without blinking.
"This is a toy gun. Can you touch it for fun?"
The little girl raised her little hand, caressed the gun body carefully, and nodded her little head: "fun."
"Shall we play the game you just played? The police catch the fugitive..." Wu Ji stuffed the pistol into her hand, pinched her soft finger and pressed it on the trigger, and then slowly aimed at Li Qing opposite.
He grinned: "now, we are the police, and the guy in front of us is a fugitive. You have to shoot him, or he will run away."
Rao was the little girl's young mind, and he also felt something wrong. His hand holding the gun began to tremble gently: "big brother, let's stop playing, shall we? He's not a bad man..."
"It's a game. I'll teach you. It's fun." Wu Ji gently pinched her little hand and walked around the man opposite with the muzzle of the gun a few meters away.
Li Qing grinned and moved back half a step: "it's not very fun."
Wu Ji's cheek showed a gloomy smile: "do you think you still have a choice?"
"It seems... You didn't intend to give me this opportunity." Li Qing raised his hand and waved to the rear, motioning the sniper hidden in the dark not to shoot.
"Where do you want to hit him?" Wu Ji asked smilingly, "how about a shot in the head? Where's the heart? Here? Then here."
He pressed the little girl's finger and jerked the trigger.
Bang!
With the sound of a gun, Li Qing's body shuddered, a bullet passed through his chest, and his blood bloomed like a lotus.
The little girl across the street burst into tears with a "wow".
"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Qing bit her teeth and straightened up slowly, with a rather reluctant smile on her cheek, "this is a game, kidding..."
The little girl blinked her big foggy eyes and stopped crying.
"You see, I said, we're playing games. He'll be fine." Wu Ji smiled, "he hasn't fallen yet? Where's the next shot?"
Seeing that Li Qingguo was really fine, the little girl couldn't help laughing through tears and aimed the muzzle of the gun at his chest.
Qiao Xue in the dark saw this scene, and the jade hand clenched and loosened, and then clenched again.
She seemed to have made a great determination and bit her silver teeth. Then she gave a low order: "don't wait, shoot directly."
"Yes." the subordinates around him were ordered to raise an arm towards the sniper lying on the roof, with the palm facing up, and then waved it violently.
The sniper aimed at Wu Ji's eyebrows and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A bullet shot out. At this time, Wu Ji's head just tilted aside, making the bullet wipe his forehead and "bang" broke the glass door behind him.
The little girl screamed and cried again. She loosened her gun and struggled to escape.
Angered, Wu Ji grabbed the little girl's collar with one hand and picked her up.
"Want to kill me?" he sneered, the gun in his hand against the side of the child's brain.
Li Qing said, "do you think... Holding a child can threaten me?"
"I heard that you have your own children, so be considerate." Wu Ji's voice was very cold. "If you didn't care, you would have rushed up long ago."
Li Qing frowned and stared at the little girl whose face was red and tightly restrained by her collar. After a while, she said, "well, let the child go and I'll let you go."
"Remove all the snipers around!"
Li Qing waved his hand behind him and said in a high voice, "Qiao Xue, remove all the people."
"A group of waste! Not enough success, more than failure!" cried Qiao Xue angrily, "what are you doing? Get down!"
Those subordinates who ambushed around were scolded and retreated silently.
After everything was handled properly, Qiao Xue came out with a cold face: "Wu Ji, I am willing to exchange hostages with her."
"Do you want to? I don't want to." Wu Ji smiled and pointed his gun at Li Qing. "You two... Are not good people. I don't trust either of you."
