Chapter 27 Who is the Prey
About half an hour later, Su Xue's voice suddenly came from the car's intercom.
"Captain, these gang members just got into their cars as if they had made an appointment, and drove towards an abandoned factory on Old Street."
Abandoned factory?
Li Muhan was shocked. Could it be the abandoned factory where Huo Tian’s son had the accident?
"Taozi, how's your position?"
Huo Tian also sat up from the back seat at this moment and asked into the intercom.
“The view is great. I have to say, it’s quite difficult to find a commanding height in an old street like this.”
"Stay alert and don't get discovered."
Huo Tian lit a cigarette in the car, took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of smoke. The thick smoke lingered in the car for a long time before quietly dissipating.
"All the cars stopped in front of the warehouse of the abandoned factory, and they got out and headed towards the warehouse."
"Don't be impatient, Taozi. Can you see the whole factory clearly from your position?"
"no problem."
"Then keep an eye on it. What's the situation over there, Yin Qi?"
Huo Tian continued to give orders. With just a simple name, the other party immediately knew what she was going to do.
"I have followed these people into the warehouse and am currently tracking them covertly."
"Lin Ziyu, what about Zhou Zhiguo?"
"Zhou Zhiguo has been at home and seems to be watching TV now. He has not shown any unusual behavior."
It turned out that Lin Ziyu's drone had been hovering near Zhou Zhiguo's home because its paint had been specially treated.
Under the cover of night, the drone did not attract anyone's attention.
Tick.
Tick-tock
Time passed minute by minute, and no one spoke during this time. Li Muhan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
It was already 1 o'clock in the morning, but Li Muhan was not sleepy at all. During this time, he also received a text message from Xia Yue.
The first text message had no content, only a cute kitten emoticon.
Just when Li Muhan was confused, the second text message came.
"Sorry, it was my first time texting someone and I pressed the wrong button."
I have to say that although Xia Yue seems to be a vampire who has lived for a long time, her common sense is still a mess.
But thanks to this incident, Li Muhan's tense nerves relaxed a little.
But before the string could completely relax, Yin Qi's voice came from the headphones again.
"The missing target was found in an abandoned warehouse. These people want to transfer the hostages."
Li Muhan suddenly became excited.
It's not just because the missing person was found, but also because this incident was done by these gang members and has nothing to do with Zhou Zhiguo.
To be honest, Li Muhan actually felt a little sympathetic when he saw how miserable Zhou Zhiguo was living.
"Captain! Hurry over!"
Li Muhan urged.
But Huo Tian was still smoking, as if he was thinking about something.
"team leader?"
Li Muhan shouted again.
Huo Tian then slowly turned his head and looked at Li Muhan.
"I learned from Director Lin that you were once human. So, Li Muhan, tell me, what do you think of aliens?"
“......?”
Li Muhan looked confused, not knowing why Huo Tian asked him this question at this time.
"They're all different. For example, the vampire who attacked me before was very brutal, but Zhou Zhiguo seems quite honest to me."
After hearing Li Muhan's answer, Huo Tian smiled faintly.
"I hope you can always treat every creature in this world with this mentality, regardless of whether they are human or not, and regardless of whether you are a member of the Special Management Bureau or not."
After saying that, Huo Tian started the engine of the car. At the moment he started the car, Huo Tian suddenly covered his stomach.
"Ouch!! Ouch! My stomach hurts so much!"
Li Muhan was stunned. Why did Huo Tian suddenly have a stomachache at this time?
"The restaurant we had dinner at must have been unclean! Ouch!!"
"Captain, aren't we eating together?"
"My intestines are fragile, is that okay? Oh, no, I have to find a place to solve it on the spot. Li Muhan, you go over there first and support Su Xue and Yin Qi!"
"Ah?! I'm going alone?"
"What are you afraid of? You're an alien, and you're afraid of humans!? Besides, Su Xue and Yin Qi are both combatants, just don't hold them back!"
"Well, that's fine."
Li Muhan was a little confused. How did the situation turn out like this?
“But I can’t drive!”
Huo Tian leaned over and opened the passenger door, then kicked Li Muhan out of the car.
"Damn it, you still want to drive over there! Run over there! Hurry up! I'm going to poop out!"
“????”
Although he was confused, Li Muhan still ran quickly towards the location of the abandoned factory.
Watching Li Muhan's back disappear into the night of the old street, Huo Tian's painful expression as he covered his stomach gradually became calm.
He opened the door and got out.
He lit a cigarette, opened the trunk of the car, took out a long backpack, and walked towards the shabby apartment while humming some tune.
Just as Li Muhan was about to run to the abandoned factory, Lin Ziyu's voice suddenly came from the headset.
"What's going on? Why did my drone crash? Also, who just turned off my signal?!"
Listening to Lin Ziyu's words, Li Muhan suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Where are your people? Report the situation quickly!"
Lin Ziyu shouted anxiously from the other end of the headset.
"No time."
Yin Qi gave a brief reply, and there was also some faint shouting and killing sounds coming from her side. It seemed that Yin Qi had already started fighting with someone.
"Sorry, Lin Ziyu, the fighting has already started here. Captain, how long will it take for you to arrive at the scene?"
The background on Su Xue's side was the whistling wind, and from time to time there was a sound similar to that of a sniper rifle firing.
"The captain suddenly said he had diarrhea! I'm running to the abandoned factory to provide support!"
At this moment, Li Muhan seemed to hear Lin Ziyu take a breath of cold air.
"Li Muhan!!! Go back!! Go back!!! Go back to the captain!!!"
Li Muhan slowed down his running pace and asked anxiously.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Li Muhan, the captain deliberately sent you away."
Yoongi said as he fought someone.
"Brother Mu Han, the captain must have noticed some details that we didn't notice, details about Zhou Zhiguo."
Su Xue said.
"Then why didn't he tell us?!"
"Because he wants to settle the matter alone! We can't let him go! The Forest Bureau just sent news! Zhou Zhiguo, that means the disaster level in this Xia country has suddenly risen to cholera! That's not a monster the captain can handle!"
Li Muhan was dumbfounded.
"Director Lin has already said that we should rescue the hostages first. As for Zhou Zhiguo, she will send someone to deal with him! You must bring the captain back quickly!"
Li Muhan did not ask any more questions. He remembered what Zhou Zhiguo said to him when he looked at him for the last time.
His heart began to beat wildly, and he almost felt some kind of ominous premonition.
Immediately afterwards, Li Muhan turned around and started running towards Zhou Zhiguo's residence.
......
At the same time, on the fifth floor of a dilapidated apartment, at the door of Zhou Zhiguo's house.
Huo Tian smoked his last cigarette, then took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Here it comes..."
Zhou Zhiguo's voice came from the room.
"Who is it at this late hour?"
After opening the door and seeing Huo Tian, Zhou Zhiguo was stunned.
"Captain Huo, why are you here again?"
"There are still some things I don't understand clearly."
Huo Tian said with a sneer.
Although he was very reluctant, Zhou Zhiguo still let Huo Tian in.
"Captain Huo, what else do you want to know?"
Zhou Zhiguo brought out a cup of tea, but saw Huo Tian throw a long bag on the table.
"Zhou Zhiguo, stop pretending, there's no one else."
"Captain Huo, what are you talking about?"
"I know that you were responsible for what happened five years ago, and you are also responsible for this case now."
Huo Tian looked at Zhou Zhiguo, and Zhou Zhiguo's thin figure trembled slightly at this time, and then he said with a dry laugh.
"Captain Huo, why are you still bringing this up? I really don't..."
"perfume."
Huo Tian interrupted Zhou Zhiguo and then said.
"Five years ago you ignored this problem, and now you have it again. You have the scent of at least five different women's perfumes on your body and in your house. These perfumes cannot be afforded by prostitutes."
Zhou Zhiguo opened his mouth wide and didn't say a word for a long time.
"I'm sorry, my wife... my ex-wife is a perfumer, so I'm used to all kinds of perfumes. That's why I suspected you back then. At the time, I didn't understand why you didn't deal with the perfume smell in the room, but after joining the Special Management Bureau, I understood."
As Huo Tian spoke, he slowly unzipped the bag.
A Tang sword with a black scabbard suddenly appeared.
“Hehehe…”
Zhou Zhiguo lowered his head and began to laugh strangely.
"Because we, the Xian nation, have no sense of smell."
When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with strange madness.
