Dark clouds were gathering, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Except for the distant noise of cars, there was no sound at the scene.
Ren Da and Zhao Hu on the Dingshan Viaduct were stunned at what happened just now and had no time to react. Of course, standing on the bridge, they had nothing to react to.
The sudden flash of white light in the dark night, the sudden roar of the engine, and even the white car that could only move in a serpentine manner due to an unexpected tire blowout during the pursuit could not conceal its indomitable momentum.
The kidnapper who was standing under the bridge with a gun and nakedly threatening the two of them suddenly fled in a car in a hurry.
The empty dirt road and the patter of rain seemed to question whether the previous tense situation was real.
If it weren't for the black tire lying on the side of the road, which constantly reminded everyone present that a white car with a flat tire had just chased the kidnappers, maybe everyone would have been in a daze for a while.
Even though Ren Da had received the news that two police officers would come from the east, their provocative appearance was really unexpected and eye-opening.
"It's really like filming a movie..." Zhao Hu said in a low voice.
The huge contrast was overwhelming. At that moment, Ren Dadu almost mistakenly thought it was a large police force rushing over!
The excitement is still lingering in my chest.
Zhu Chaoran took the hostage Liu Yan and stood under the bridge and started shouting loudly before he came back to his senses.
However, the frightened kidnapper probably won't come back again, what a bluff... Ren Da thought with certainty in his mind when he came back to his senses.
"Old Zhao, are you up there?" Liu Yan stood under the bridge, letting the rain hit her face, and shouted anxiously toward the bridge.
Zhao Hu put his hands on the concrete guardrail, leaned out of the bridge as much as possible, and shouted anxiously: "Honey, it's me! Go over there and drag that canvas bag under the bridge. It's full of money, but
Don’t get wet!”
"Okay, okay!" Liu Yan looked in the direction of Zhao Hu's finger and found that a large canvas bag had fallen on the dirt road, so she hurriedly pulled Zhu Chaoran and ran over.
"This way, right. Go over there, go over there...hurry up and carry it to the bridge. Don't let the rain get wet! Hurry up, hurry up!"
Zhao Hu was lying on the concrete guardrail, watching the two people under the bridge wading through the dirt road step by step, and giving instructions anxiously.
"Be sure to keep it in a dry place!"
Even though Zhao Hu had already lost sight of Liu Yan and Zhu Chaoran who had walked under the bridge, he still did not forget his original intention, leaned out as much as possible, stretched his head and shouted down.
Standing aside, Ren Da looked around cautiously, and after making sure that all the kidnappers had left and the scene was safe, he prepared to get in the car and leave the scene.
At this time, Zhao Hu heard the door opening in the direction of the car. He turned around and saw Ren Da opening the car door and preparing to get in. He hurriedly jumped off the guardrail and ran over.
He stretched out his hands and pulled Ren's arm to open the door, and asked anxiously: "Officer Ren, what, are you leaving?"
"Yes, I'm going to help that little car now!" Ren Da nodded and replied firmly.
"Then what should we do? What if the kidnappers come back later? They have guns in their hands!" Looking at Ren Da's firm eyes, Zhao Hu was afraid that he would abandon him, so he took out his grip on Ren Da's arm.
One of his hands made a pistol gesture.
"Hmm! Hmm!" Then he opened his nostrils vigorously and hummed twice.
Ren Da gently pressed down Zhao Hu's big hand that had been holding his forearm, and persuaded him: "Other police officers are already on their way. They will be there soon."
"No, absolutely not. You can't just abandon us like this! What if the kidnapper with the gun comes back again? Can you shoulder this responsibility?" Zhao Hu said anxiously, shaking his head like a rattle.
Similar.
Ren was helpless, although he was very sure that the kidnappers would not be stupid enough to escape back. But for the police, the safety of people's lives and property is indeed above all else.
He could only arrange for everyone to stay aside.
He turned his head and looked behind him, and found that the dark, quiet and gloomy mountain, as well as the winding and ferocious dirt road underneath, were like a giant beast with its fangs exposed, which weighed heavily on his heart.
——
The clouds were thick, the rain kept falling, and the air was so heavy that it was breathless.
More than 300 meters south of the transaction location requested by the kidnappers, next to a pier of the Dingshan Viaduct.
I only saw a man leaning on the bridge pier, with his left foot propped up and his right leg flat, sitting on the muddy ground. The lonely figure looked very lost. Upon closer inspection, the flat right leg seemed a bit contrary to common sense.
shape.
"Ren Da, my foot is probably broken. I'm waiting for rescue right now. Team Zheng has taken the brothers over to your side. They will be there in a few minutes."
The man spoke in a low tone. While talking on the phone with his right hand, he slammed the bridge pier behind him with his fisted left hand.
"Bang bang bang."
On this rainy night, the sound was really loud. It was obvious that the man was feeling depressed, otherwise he wouldn't have started smashing the wall while talking on the phone.
Looking closer, the man sitting frowned, closed his eyes tightly, and let the water droplets stick to his face without wiping it off. It was surprisingly Li Mengli, the deputy of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Zhengming District Public Security Bureau who had just led the team to the kidnapper transaction scene.
Captain.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just jumped off the slope without a rope. I didn't expect that when I slid to the bottom, I stepped on a pit at the bottom."
"There is no way, the mobile phone can't take pictures very far, everyone is in the dark. This is really more exciting than winning a big lottery."
"Yes, yes. I was not steady and too impatient. I was the one who led the team, but in the end I was holding everyone back."
"Yeah, I understand. What's the situation over there now?"
"Hmm, the hostages are safe, that's good. What! How is that possible!"
Li Meng felt as if he had forgotten to breathe for a moment. He leaned on the bridge pier and sat up straight, and then his whole body suddenly stiffened there.
The eyes that suddenly opened were filled with disbelief.
"A white car chased the kidnapper?"
"The car even had a flat tire!"
The moon is high in the sky, the dark clouds are gradually dispersing, and the rain seems to be slowly abating. The raindrops drifting under the viaduct with the wind seem to stop in the blink of an eye.
Li Meng raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and leaned against the bridge pier again. In his hand, he held his cell phone, which had ended the call some time ago and had a dark screen.
He raised his head and thought of his stubborn old classmate.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes regained their former luster, and cursed with a smile: "Huh, I'm not stable? Compared to you, I'm so damn stable!"
With this smile, Li Meng finally let go of the jealousy he had felt towards his old classmate for so many years.
