How is this possible!? The murderer had a gun!
Zhao Yilin didn't dare to scream. The man's target was her. If she woke the others up, it would only lead to more deaths and injuries.
"Ye Lin, Ye Lin."
Zhao Yilin ran like a madman. From time to time, the sounds of bullets hitting mud came from behind her feet. She didn't even have the chance to look back to see who it was that had tried to kill her.
She was getting closer and closer to the Village Head's house, but the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.
Suddenly sensing the intention to kill, she rolled away from a bullet that was about to hit her leg, then quickly turned around and hid behind a stack of grass.
The man couldn't see her, so he stopped shooting for a while, but he caught up faster.
To Zhao Yilin's surprise, the murderer was not familiar with the roads in the village, and he ran even faster than her.
Only then did Zhao Yilin realize that this whole series of events had nothing to do with the villagers, but rather the outsiders who wanted to kill her. It was also possible that Luo Zhicheng had met with him in the middle of the night, which was why he was so miserably killed.
After coming to this conclusion, Zhao Yelin climbed over a wall in the village chief's backyard and crossed a vegetable garden to find the residence of Huo Yelin and the other policemen.
When the police come out, the man will run away.
She held her breath as the man behind her climbed over the wall. She ran across the garden, ran to the door of the police station, and pushed. The door was unlocked, and she almost fell to the ground.
The wooden bed was empty, and the bedding was neatly folded. It was obvious that no one had lived here before.
"I'm just a fool." Zhao Yilin looked towards the door and said stiffly, "I forgot. Those cops are outsiders too."
Song Tao stood at the door and smiled. He pointed the gun at her and said, "Aren't you too stupid? "That's why we didn't make too much noise along the way. Otherwise, it would have been a little troublesome if we had to kill an entire village."
Zhao Yelin thought of Huo Yelin. It was impossible for him to not hear the commotion, "Where's Ye Lin?" What have you done to him? "
Song Tao glanced at the room beside them and said, "I'm not too sure." He crooked his finger at Zhao Yilin. "Come, let me show you."
Zhao Yilin glared at him and walked away.
If it weren't for the fact that she happened to notice someone coming, she would have been killed in her sleep. Huo Yelin was sleeping right next to the murderer. The result could be imagined.
Song Tao turned his body to allow her to walk out of the room. Then, he pointed his gun at the back of her head.
"Open the door, let's see what Boss Huo's corpse looks like."
Zhao Yilin turned around and stared at him. "What if he's not dead? What if your partner is?"
Song Tao didn't expect that she would dare to turn around and cough under the pressure of a gun. He grabbed her neck forcefully and pointed the gun at her head, "Beautiful lady, you want to make a bet?" "If there's Huo Yelin's corpse inside, then kneel down and add to laozi's number. If there's no, then I'll let you live, how about that?"
Zhao Yilin sneered, "Alright, I hope you keep your promise when the time comes."
No matter how slim Huo Yelin's chances of survival were, until the moment she saw his corpse, she refused to believe it.
She placed her hand on the doorknob, closed her eyes and pushed. She took a deep breath, but before she could open her eyes, Song Tao shouted angrily and grabbed her by the hair before he entered the room.
Zhao Yelin opened her eyes and saw that Huo Yelin's room was even cleaner than the other room, not even his luggage was there.
"He's still alive. I knew he was."
"Shut up! If you dare to speak again, I'll destroy you! "
Zhao Yilin glanced at him indifferently. Song Tao was obstructing her from speaking. In addition, he didn't kill her right away due to a change in his thoughts.
"What are you so proud of? Although there is no corpse of him here, there is also no corpse of us two brothers." Maybe he just found out he ran away along the way, or maybe he died on the way. "
Zhao Yilin endured the pain in her head and ignored him.
Looking at the situation, Huo Yelin did not die. On the contrary, he knew that these three policemen were fake, which was why he let her stay at Yang Qing's house. He did not expect that she was also their target.
Song Tao took out a rope from his backpack and tied up Zhao Yilin's hand. He grabbed a piece of paper and was about to stuff it into her mouth.
Zhao Yilin looked away and said, "I won't scream. You don't need to push it to me."
The more calm and tough she was, the more interested Song Tao became in her. He casually threw the broken steps onto the ground, looked at her lustfully, and said, "Alright, we'll see how we'll deal with you after we kill Huo Yelin."
He pushed her towards the door.
Song Tao pulled on the rope and led Zhao Yilin into the forest like a small dog.
Ten minutes ago, Huo Yelin was in an abandoned sheepfold built from stones.
Two killers in police garb were tied to wooden stakes at each corner.
Little Dou was holding a gun and looking at one. Huo Yelin was squatting on the ground, pointing the gun at the other's head.
"Who sent you?"
The two assassins didn't say anything.
The night wind blew, rustling the trees. There were only two points of light in the dark and mysterious forest. The exit of the sheepfold was connected to an indistinct path. Walking along the hillside, one could see the well outside the village after ten minutes.
Dou pointed the flashlight directly at their faces. "I advise you to hurry up and say that our Boss Huo is notoriously impatient."
Huo Yelin put the gun down and said, "If you don't want to say it, I can ask you another question. Secretary Luo was killed because he saw you, right? "
Sure enough, the two assassins weren't afraid of this, "Yes, he carries it on his back, and just so happened to bump into us on the night road."
Huo Yelin's voice was very soft and cold as he said, "Your plan is very good. Unfortunately, it's a bit unnecessary, unlike Duan Zhengping's style of doing things." If you want to kill me, you should do it like this. Just point your gun at my head and shoot. "
Huo Yelin held the gun to his head, his face revealing a mocking smile.
The two assassins still kept their heads down and didn't speak.
Huo Yelin got up, ready to stop the interrogation. He casually said, "Little Dou, kill them. I understand the situation now."
"Yes." The two killers had not expected that Huo Yelin would start killing without even seriously asking. The killer tied to Dou Dou could not help but shout, "Don't, don't! There is something very important that you all must want to know. "
Huo Yelin looked at him. "What's the matter?"
The man hesitated for a moment and then said, "We came with three people. Did you not think about where the other one went?"
Dou said, "Of course he's in charge of providing support. If you guys don't meet up on time, he'll immediately go and inform us."
Another said, "Ah, we are death-sworn men. We do not need to gather together to fight to the death. He's not here because he's responsible for killing another person. "
Dou Dou's heart skipped a beat. "Who?"
Zhao Yelin's smile flashed across Huo Yelin's mind. He raised his gun and pressed it against the killer's chin. "Is the other person going to kill Zhao Yilin?"
The assassin was unable to catch his breath, "Yes, it's her. If you go save her now, it might be too late."
Huo Yelin's mind went blank. He broke open the safety catch and pressed it against his neck with all his might. His index finger was on the trigger as he trembled slightly.
Dou was also very anxious. "Director Huo, don't be rash yet. What should we do?"
Huo Yelin shook the gun out of his backpack and walked out, "Look at them."
"Wait, you can't go alone!"
Huo Yelin turned around and said, "If they run away, I'll ask you!"
Dou Dou stomped his feet on the ground and watched as Huo Yelin ran down the path.
Huo Yelin moved as fast as the wind. With every second that passed, Zhao Yelin's chance of survival became less and less.
Remembering how reluctant she looked when she left that day with her hands behind her back and her mouth pouting, he wanted to shoot himself with the gun in his hand.
Why did he send her away? Why!
The last time when Duan Zhengping sent people to chase him down, that shot had obviously been fired at Zhao Yilin. How could he have forgotten about it!?
If he could keep her by his side, even if there was danger, it would at least be within his reach. But what should he do now, what should he do?!
Huo Yelin rushed into Yang Qing's yard. Seeing that the guard dog had been shot to death, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Eli, Eli!"
He shouted loudly and pushed open the door to the room where Yang Qing slept.
Yang Qing was so scared that he sat up and looked at him in a daze.
Huo Ye Lin looked at the bed beside her, but found no one there. Where's your sister sleeping next to you? "
Yang Qing was so scared that he shook his head. Looking at his fiendish face, he almost cried, "I, I don't know, I've been sleeping …"
Yang Qing's parents also ran over to ask when they heard the sound.
Huo Yelin was panting heavily. He pointed his gun at them and said, "All of you, behave and don't go out. If anything happens to Yelin, I have to go find her."
Yang Qing's parents were also shocked by his appearance, "Don't be in such a hurry, let's go out and help you find it."
"No need! Stay here and don't come out! " Huo Yelin shouted angrily. When he saw the copper basin on the ground, he remembered that if Zhao Yelin found someone had killed her, she would definitely come looking for him. Thus, he quickly ran towards the Village Head's house.
Huo Yelin imagined the possible route Zhao Yelin would take when she was being chased, while praying that he wouldn't see her corpse on the road.
When he climbed over the wall, he saw that the doors to both rooms were open.
Huo Yelin held his gun and walked over step by step while holding his breath. Only when he saw that there was no one in the two rooms did he heave a sigh of relief.
The piece of cloth on the bed hinted that Zhao Yilin had been captured by the man.
Huo Yelin stood at his original spot and thought for a moment. Then, he ran back along the mountain path, hoping to make it back before Song Tao found Dou Dou.
A spot of light in the dark woods would be very obvious.
When they were almost to the sheepfold, Huo Yelin took light steps and crawled his way through the grass.
When he saw the scene inside, his brows tightened. He was still a step too late.
While Song Tao and Dou Dou were facing each other with guns in their hands, Dou Dou was unable to take care of both of them at the same time. Song Tao was currently dragging Zhao Yilin along as he approached one of his accomplices, "One hostage is enough. Give him back to me honestly, or I'll stab her in the face."
Dou Dou had no choice but to watch as he got closer and closer to that hostage.
