Xu Lang and the girl returned along the way they had just come. The bright moonlight shone on the two people, reflecting two long shadows on the ground. Xu Lang and the others were like two hares, cautiously heading toward them.
As the village approached, he paid careful attention to the surrounding movements.
After getting off the road, we waded across the river from upstream again, got into the cornfield, and drove slowly towards the back mountain.
The village was very quiet, so quiet that it was suffocating. The originally noisy buzzing of insects around them stopped abruptly with the actions of Xu Lang and the others. From time to time, a few lazy dog barks could be heard in the village.
Xu Lang moved forward carefully while paying attention to the surrounding movements. So far, everything seems to be going very smoothly. At least, Chen Weiguo and the others have not come back yet, and they have not yet discovered that they have escaped. For Xu Lang,
It's a good thing.
Like ghosts in the dark night, the two people finally passed through the village quietly and arrived at the mountain behind the village.
Under the guidance of the girl, Xu Lang saw the entrance to the back mountain. It was an extremely simple trail. Under the cover of the dense trees around it in summer, it would be difficult to spot that it was a trail without careful observation.
Standing at the intersection, Xu Lang looked at the path, turned his head, looked at the girl and asked: "Are you sure this is here?"
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, it's right here."
Hearing what the girl said, Xu Lang went straight into the path without any further hesitation, and the girl followed closely behind.
When Xu Lang entered the forest, the originally bright light suddenly became dim. The white moonlight spread through the gaps in the trees, illuminating this destined to be difficult road.
I don't know if it's because the surroundings are too dark and the girl is afraid of falling, or because the girl is very nervous at the moment. Her soft little hands are holding Xu Lang's arm tightly, which makes Xu Lang very helpless. To be honest, Xu Lang
I really didn't want to bring her with me, but without her, I wouldn't know the way. It would be unrealistic to find Lai Pi and the others in a short time. Moreover, once Chen Weiguo and the others returned to the village, they found that they had escaped and the girl was gone.
Chen Weiguo and the others will definitely look for him everywhere and let the girl stay on the road. It is estimated that Chen Weiguo and the others will find her soon. Xu Lang doesn't know what will happen to the girl then, but one thing is certain.
He would definitely betray himself without hesitation, Xu Lang was unwilling to take risks.
The two of them walked into the forest and followed the narrow path for about six or seven minutes. Xu Lang suddenly stopped. The girl, perhaps too nervous, bumped into Xu Lang's back and made a dull sound.
sound.
"Ah...why did you stop?"
The girl exclaimed, rubbing her forehead and asking in confusion.
"Shh."
Xu Lang turned his head and hissed at Xu Lang. The girl immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing that the girl stopped talking, Xu Lang turned his head and looked deep into the forest. He vaguely heard footsteps and conversations. It seemed that someone was walking towards them not far from Xu Lang and the others.
Xu Lang didn't dare to stay any longer, so he grabbed the girl's hand with his backhand, slowly walked behind some big trees, squatted down, and held his breath.
The girl was a little confused by Xu Lang's movements. After squatting down, the girl turned her head, looked at Xu Lang and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Someone is coming."
Xu Lang said softly.
"Ah? Is it the uncle and the others? Did they find out that we escaped?"
The girl suddenly became panicked. She grabbed Xu Lang's hand and pressed harder, leaning tightly on Xu Lang's body.
In the forest at night, the temperature was very low. Xu Lang wore very little, and the same goes for the girl. She only wore a beige short-sleeved upper body and a pair of blue jeans on the lower body. At this moment, the two of them were clinging to each other.
, the girl's unique body fragrance began to stimulate Xu Lang's nasal cavity, which made Xu Lang feel uncomfortable all over.
With Nephrite in his arms, it was impossible to say that Xu Lang didn't have any reaction that a man should have. However, Xu Lang had no mind to care about this at this moment. His eyes were fixedly staring at the distance not far away. What he just heard
The sound of arriving footsteps is getting closer and closer, and the sounds of conversation are becoming clearer and clearer.
"Uncle Li, do you think that policeman can really listen to us?" This was Chen Weiguo's voice.
"Huh, when we get to our chassis, he can't help but be disobedient." Uncle Li's voice sounded.
"What if he pulls up his pants and refuses to admit it?"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem. The policeman may not know that just before he came here, there was already a huge sum of money in his account."
"You want to bribe him? I don't think that policeman is greedy for money?"
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and Uncle Li's voice sounded again.
"Weiguo, what do you think a person lives for?"
"What?"
"Fame, fortune, power, and sex are nothing more than these four things. He had people investigate that policeman before. He is really amazing. At such a young age, he is so famous in S City, and his power is not small, at least compared to you."
The power of the village chief is much greater. People, once they have fame and power, they will cherish these things especially. Letting Amei accompany him is just the first step. If he can do this for us
Whatever you use is the best. Even if Amei's operation fails, what will happen to a civil servant if so much money suddenly appears in his account and the source cannot be explained? "
"I will definitely be investigated and even imprisoned," Chen Weiguo said.
"Yes, the police have been dealing with criminals all year round, and they must have offended a lot of people. If he was imprisoned for this, how would he fare in prison? What would his colleagues around him think of him? In the past,
Fame and power will become indestructible shackles, tightly wrapped around his neck. As the old saying goes, the taller he grows, the harder he falls. If he does not want to lose all the glory of the past, he must
You have to cooperate with us.”
"That's true, but what if that kid still doesn't want to cooperate with us?"
"Not cooperating? You have forgotten that the dozen or so policemen are still in our hands. If he doesn't want those people to lose their lives, then he dares not to cooperate. What's the problem with killing one or two people? It's not like he has never killed anyone before.
What are you afraid of?" Uncle Li said in a cold tone,
"Then if he agrees to cooperate with us, what should the policemen we arrest do?"
"That's what he should consider. If he can't even solve this little thing, there's no need for us to cooperate with him. Of course, if he can't handle it well, don't we still have him? We're in our hands.
, we have the final say on how to deal with it." Uncle Li said calmly.
Hearing what Uncle Li said, Chen Weiguo was silent for a few seconds and said, "But, I'm still a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"I don't know, I always feel like something bad will happen."
"No need to worry, we will have a showdown with that kid when we go back later. If he is willing to cooperate with us, then everything will be fine."
"Then what if he doesn't want to cooperate with us?"
"What do you think?" Uncle Li asked.
"Kill him?"
"Idiot, why do you want to kill him? Wouldn't it be better to let him be charged with corruption, taking bribes, raping young girls, and killing his companions?"
"I understand."
"After you go back, you and Erdan go notify the people in the village and start preparations."
"What are you preparing for?"
"Get out of here."
"Ah? Why?"
"Since the police have investigated here, even if we deal with these police this time, there will definitely be other police coming to investigate. It is no longer safe here. If we don't leave, we will be the unlucky ones."
"But, if there are so many people in the village and they suddenly want to leave, is it okay?"
"Humph, you have to do it even if you don't. Don't you know how much money you have made over the years? Besides, haven't you been clamoring to leave here and live a good life? It's time to leave now."
"The business?"
"Just change the place and start over. As long as the people are still there, everything can be started over."
"I see."
"As long as you understand, let's go, that kid should be waking up soon."
After that, no one spoke anymore, there was only the rustle of leaves, and the sound of footsteps passed in front of Xu Lang and the others and gradually faded away.
It wasn't until they were completely gone and no more footsteps could be heard that Xu Lang stood up from behind the tree, his face looking extremely ugly and solemn.
Xu Lang didn't expect that Uncle Li, who looked like a farmer, had such careful thoughts. Imprisoning Lai Pi and the others was just the first step, but getting himself drunk, and then sending a woman to his room, causing chaos after drinking.
Sex, this is the most common thing, and among the many cases that Xu Lang investigated or heard about in the past where officials were arrested, the trick of honey trap is common. It seems very simple, but it is very powerful. How many people have
Just like what Uncle Li said, he fell on the word "sex" and became a criminal tool for others.
What surprised Xu Lang even more was that before he came to Chenjiahe Village, Uncle Li had already dug a hole for him and transferred a large amount of money to his account. Although Xu Lang had not heard from Uncle Li just now,
He said, how much money was transferred, but since the other party said it was a huge sum of money, then the amount must be not small, and Xu Lang must not be able to explain the origin of the money. If Xu Lang does not cooperate with them, Xu Lang
I believe that the materials reporting his corruption and bribery will definitely appear on the desk of the disciplinary inspection department as soon as possible. By then, Xu Lang will definitely be suspended, and then he will be investigated.
Not long after the CSY criminal investigation team was established, the person in charge was involved in a corruption and bribery scandal. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the person in charge who founded CSY. If Xu Lang was investigated, then other members of CSY would definitely also be investigated, and
The cases previously investigated by CSY will also be re-investigated. In this way, the investigation of the current series of cases will be temporarily suspended. This is the result they want, and of course, it is also the worst result.
If Xu Lang chose to compromise, none of these things would have happened, but from now on, Xu Lang would become their tool and accomplice.
Xu Lang guessed that maybe Chen Guodong, the director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau, was dragged into the situation in this way. Of course, Chen Guodong was originally from Chenjiahe Village, and he might have known about these things for a long time. Xu Lang even suspected that besides Chen Guodong, there were
Other officials were dragged into the water. As for who they were, Xu Lang didn't know for the time being, and it wasn't a matter of concern to him right now.
Xu Lang has no time to think about these problems now. Now that Chen Weiguo and the others have returned, they will definitely find out soon that they are not here. Xu Lang must seize the time to find Lai Pi and the others.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang pulled the girl towards Chen Wei
Guo walked quickly in the direction he came from just now.
————
Because it was night, the road was not easy to walk, and he was carrying a tow bottle, Xu Lang did not walk very fast. However, fortunately, perhaps because he was worried that someone would discover the secret here, this road did not appear.
It bifurcates and extends deep into the mountains.
After Xu Lang ran with the girl for nearly half an hour, he finally saw a bright light at the foot of the back mountain. Xu Lang slowed down his running pace and slowly approached there.
When Xu Lang carefully approached the place where the light was shining, he found that the surroundings were very quiet and there was not a single person in sight. This made Xu Lang feel a little strange.
"There is no one standing guard. Are they sleeping?"
Xu Lang muttered.
If this is really the case, everything is fine. However, if they are hiding in the dark, Xu Lang will be immediately exposed in front of everyone. Although he took a pistol from the car, only
Just a few rounds of bullets. Xu Lang didn't know how many people there were here. Moreover, since Lai Pi and the others were subdued, their pistols must have been taken away. In case, they saw Xu Lang holding
If they also fire the gun, then a gun battle will definitely break out. At that time, it will be a question whether they can subdue them, and the sound of gunfire will definitely attract the attention of Chen Weiguo and the others. By then, let alone rescuing Lai Pi
They, even Xu Lang might be caught by them,
This is a very difficult question.
However, it had already spent nearly half an hour before Xu Lang met Chen Weiguo and the others, and Chen Weiguo and the others must have returned to the village and discovered the fact that he was not there. With Uncle Li's mind, he would definitely lead people to rush out as soon as possible.
Going here, Xu Lang must seize the time to make a decision.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang turned his head and said to the girl: "You stay here, no matter what happens next, don't come out, if..."
Speaking of this, Xu Lang paused and continued: "If I am subdued or die, you must find a way to escape, then find the police and explain everything here to them. Never go to Hengtong County
To go to the police, you can go to City S or other cities and go to the police, you know?"
Hearing what Xu Lang said, the girl nodded in confusion, but she still asked doubtfully: "Why can't you go to Hengtong County to find the police? Aren't they also police?"
Xu Lang didn't explain anything, but looked into the girl's eyes and said, "Remember what I just said, you must hide yourself, you know?"
"I know." The girl nodded blankly.
Seeing the girl nodding, Xu Lang no longer hesitated. He took out his pistol, pulled the slide, loaded the bullet, took a few deep breaths, and then rushed out.
When Xu Lang rushed out, he didn't yell, saying, "I'm a policeman, don't move."
If Xu Lang does this, it means that Xu Lang is either mentally ill or a fool.
When Xu Lang rushed out, he rolled on the spot and quickly came to a thatched house with lights on.
Xu Lang's movements were very fast and the sound he made was not loud. However, it still did not cause any movement. Xu Lang frowned.
He stood up slowly and looked towards the door. The door was ajar, and there was dead silence inside. Xu Lang stretched out a hand and gently pushed open the simple door. The next second, Xu Lang
He quickly stood up and pointed the gun inside with both hands.
However, the situation in the room was beyond Xu Lang's expectation. There was no one in the room. The tables, chairs and benches in the room were scattered all over the floor. There were signs of fighting at the scene. Xu Lang also saw blood stains in one of the places. This made Xu Lang
My heart suddenly jumped up.
There are signs of fighting here, and someone was injured. Is it Lai Pi and the others, or the villagers guarding them?
Xu Lang didn't know and wasn't sure.
Since there was no one in this house, Xu Lang immediately went to the next thatched house. Using the same routine and the same operation, Xu Lang found that there was no one in the room, and there were signs of fighting in the room.
Next, Xu Lang checked several thatched houses and found that no one was there. Xu Lang felt even more strange.
Xu Lang stood in the open space, holding a gun in his hand, thinking about what was going on. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and finally, he looked at the illuminated cave entrance.
Could it be that Lai Pi and the others were imprisoned in this cave, and these people are now in the cave?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang no longer hesitated, took the pistol directly, bent towards the entrance of the cave and walked in.
Xu Lang walked very fast, but his steps were very light, because he was not sure what was going on inside the cave.
Along the way, Xu Lang found that there were blood stains on the ground, and they were dripping. Xu Lang squatted down and touched the blood with his fingers. He found that the blood had not completely solidified. It seemed that the blood was left not long ago.
Yes, this made Xu Lang feel nervous again. Did something really happen to Lai Pi and the others?
Xu Lang didn't have time to think too much and ran directly inside. In the empty cave, Xu Lang's footsteps were very loud, but Xu Lang couldn't care about it anymore.
Finally, Xu Lang came to the innermost part of the cave, and then he saw the cage made of wood. Inside the cage, there were many people. Because of the light, Xu Lang couldn't see their faces clearly.
, but Xu Lang found no one around the cage, which made Xu Lang feel that something was wrong even more.
