"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..." At this time, the workshop was extremely quiet, and only the mechanical sound coming from the pocket watch could be heard.
"I...I know, the Black Buddha...Hua Dan...cat taming...teacher, and...the gathering place of the organization." Zhang Zhitian said every word with his eyes open.
Ma Xiaolu narrowed her eyes slightly, then whispered something into his ear, and then Zhang Zhitian continued:
"The underground casino in the sand area...Brother Tao, we have the goods..."
Zhang Zhitian suddenly got stuck while he was talking. His eyelids were blinking. Ma Xiaolu came closer and then heard Zhang Zhitian saying...
…
At this time, not far from the workshop, one or two policemen were arranged at each intersection. Ma Xiaotao, Qin Nan and Wu Haotian were at one of the intersections.
"Xiaotao, Xiaotao, please answer." At this time, Song Yi's voice came from Ma Xiaotao's walkie-talkie.
"Received, Xiaotao received, Captain Song, please speak!" Ma Xiaotao said while holding the walkie-talkie and looking into the dark alley.
"Listen, everyone, I will count to three, two, and one in a minute, and everyone will go to the alley! Please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it!"
"Roger!" At this time, everyone's voices came from the intercom.
"Detective Qin, this is my first time seeing such a big battle. I really didn't expect that Team Song used so many people in order to catch the murderer." Ma Xiaotao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The deadline given by superiors is still more than 20 hours away. Do you think Lao Song can not be in a hurry? Now that he has clues, can he not go all out?
Besides, as far as we know about this case, there are already five victims..." Before Qin Nan finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao looked at Qin Nan with wide eyes and said:
"Five? Where did the five come from?! Isn't it four?"
At this time, Song Yi's voice came from the intercom: "Three, two, one, let's go!"
Immediately, Ma Xiaotao entered the alert state, took out the gun from his waist, and walked forward bit by bit. Qin Nan walked at the back. Although he had learned a few Taekwondo moves in college,
But that's just talk on paper.
The three of them slowly moved towards the alley. At this time, there were residents on both sides who had not closed their doors. After seeing a few of them, they couldn't help but feel a little curious.
The younger ones seemed to understand something after seeing the gun in Ma Xiaotao's hand, and quickly closed the door and locked the doors and windows.
Some older adults took a few steps forward, as if they wanted to ask what they were doing.
"Girl, what are you doing? Are you filming?" A woman in her sixties stood at the door and shouted loudly.
Ma Xiaotao and others were nervous at this time and did not answer her, because the murderer might be hiding somewhere, ready to escape at any time or take hostages.
When the aunt saw that Ma Xiaotao and the others didn't reply to her words, she looked left and right and didn't seem to see a camera there. She took two more steps forward.
After seeing this, Ma Xiaotao made a gesture to go back. The lady didn't know if she didn't understand. Her curiosity occupied her entire mind at this time.
She gradually moved towards Ma Xiaotao and the others, and several elders and ladies around them saw her approaching and followed them.
Ma Xiaotao's face was flushed with anger. She was focusing on everyone around her to avoid missing the murderer.
Ma Xiaotao motioned to Qin Nan and the others to explain to the elders and aunties, and then entered the alley on one side alone.
After Qin Nan explained to them, when they heard that there was a murderer here, these uncles and aunts did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly turned around and returned to their homes.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian also shook their heads helplessly. If the murderer was really among this group of people, one of the elderly and aunties who loved to join in the fun would have become the murderer's hostage.
Qin Nan saw that the surrounding residents had gone home and closed their doors, and then entered the alley that Ma Xiaotao had just entered.
It didn't take long for the two of them to catch up with Ma Xiaotao.
When they came to a fork in the road, they saw a woman holding a red handbag walking slowly from one side.
Strangely enough, this woman was wearing a belle hat at night and black sunglasses on her face.
Ma Xiaotao just looked at her and didn't pay special attention to her, because the murderer was a big man who weighed more than 160 kilograms and had no connection with this woman at all.
Qin Nan didn't know why, but he always felt that she was a little weird, giving him a very familiar feeling.
When the woman saw Qin Nan looking at her, she just adjusted her glasses slightly, lowered her head, and walked back from Qin Nan.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao from the front lowered his voice and said: "Hurry up, we are about to reach the target location, everyone pays attention, Haotian, please protect Qin Nan."
Wu Haotian nodded. At this time, Qin Nan also entered the alert state and looked at the gate in front.
At this time, the other two met Qin Nan and the others at the gate. They gestured to enter, and then nodded, holding the guns in their hands a little higher.
What they didn't expect was that the wooden door was not locked, and they gently pushed it open. At this time, there was a creaking sound from the wooden door, and Ma Xiaotao signaled Qin Nan not to go in.
Because he was afraid that Zhang Zhitian might have a gun or a weapon in his hand, Qin Nan nodded.
Qin Nan watched Ma Xiaotao and the others, half hunched over, gradually move towards the small workshop.
What everyone never expected was that at this moment, the door of the workshop opened.
Ma Xiaotao and the other two police officers immediately raised their guns and entered a state of alert.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhitian held a knife as big as two palms in his hand and slowly walked out of it.
"Don't move, put down your weapons!" Ma Xiaotao shouted to Zhang Zhitian.
Zhang Zhitian's eyes were blurred at this time, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhitian yelled, and Ma Xiaotao and the others were startled. When they were about to pull the trigger, they saw Zhang Zhitian holding the knife.
He wiped his neck directly, and the blood spurted out instantly. Zhang Zhitian showed a very strange smile at this time, and then fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Ma Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to cover the wound on his neck, but the blood continued to gush out. Qin Nan and Wu Haotian came to Zhang Zhitian's side,
At this time, Zhang Zhitian seemed to have regained some consciousness. He looked at everyone blankly and moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to make a sound.
Ma Xiaotao put her ear close and heard Zhang Zhitian muttering: "Hua... watch... sand area..."
