Chapter 458 Hiding in the Drainage Pipe

Police could only visit houses in the vicinity and search the surrounding woods.

Huang Dehan hid inside the drainpipe.

After calming down, he opened the bag, took out some biscuits and sausages, and started eating.

Fortunately, he packed some food with him when he tried to escape.

This bag of snacks, if used sparingly, should last him two or three days.

My hands were sticky with blood.

Huang Dehan poked his head out of the drainpipe and, seeing that it was pitch black all around and there was no one in sight, he climbed out.

He walked to the riverbank, washed his hands, and then washed his face.

By the moonlight, he cleaned the bloodstains off his clothes again.

Fortunately, he was wearing a down jacket, so it was easy to clean with water.

After he finished, he climbed back into the drainpipe.

He was exhausted from running all the way. After eating and drinking his fill, he lay down in the drainpipe and fell asleep.

The drainpipe opening was blocked by weeds, so he wasn't afraid of being discovered.

The reason he ran to the bottom of the bridge was that he thought if the police chased after him, he would jump into the river rather than let the police arrest him.

In short, being caught and taken back would mean certain death, so it's better to end it all yourself!

I slept until noon the next day.

Huang Dehan listened intently to the sounds outside, and seeing nothing unusual, he gently pushed aside the weeds around the drainpipe and peered out.

There was no one outside, and the police didn't chase after them.

Huang Dehan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn't dare to go out.

Let's stay here for a few more days.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from the bag, drank a few sips, and then ate a pack of biscuits.

He dared not eat too much, because he would be staying here for a few more days.

He didn't know what was happening outside and was afraid that the police were keeping watch nearby.

I'll stay here for as many days as I can.

It's much better than running away.

...

The police searched house to house, but did not find Huang Dehan.

Huang Dehan stayed in the drainage pipe for three days.

During those three days, he only went out to use the toilet when it got dark; the rest of the time, he stayed in the drainpipe.

That day, after finishing the last bag of cookies, he had to go out to find something to eat.

He waited until dark before going out.

He took off his down jacket before going out.

Because the weather has warmed up recently, and also because there are some bloodstains on my down jacket that I can't wipe clean.

He was walking along the road when suddenly an empty taxi drove up in front of him.

Huang Dehan was overjoyed and quickly reached out to stop him.

"Where to?" the driver asked.

Huang Dehan didn't know where to go, so he told her the address near Xiao Zhen's rented room.

He wanted to go back and take a look.

Sometimes the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Even the police might not expect him to come back to this place.

"Driver, my phone is dead. Can I borrow yours for a moment?" Huang Dehan said to the driver.

The driver didn't say anything and handed him his phone.

"Thank you!" Huang De took the phone and thanked him gratefully.

He called Xiaozhen, but her phone was switched off.

Huang Dehan's heart tightened; he knew something had happened to Xiao Zhen, because Xiao Zhen's phone was never turned off.

Because of her profession, she just waits for clients to call her, even if it's two or three in the morning. As soon as the phone rings, she has to go out to meet the client.

He called Chen Siqi again.

This time, the call actually went through, and Chen Siqi's voice came through: "Hello, who is this?"
