“No…No!”
The nightmare in his heart was exposed, and Hirai Takashi's face turned panic. He would not allow his brother to fire the gun no matter what:
"Ah Qing is an exception! Besides, I didn't shoot him directly!"
"Oh...."
Hirai Yukio looked at his second brother with disdain, with a sarcastic smile on his face:
"You didn't shoot him, but you forced your own brother to jump off a cliff and commit suicide. Can you escape the blame?"
"Brother, admit it... We are not good people, including the villagers. They knew the truth but did not report it, and deliberately concealed it, which violated the law. Now that we have come to this point, why should we be indecisive and put up a memorial archway?"
"From the very beginning, we had no way out..."
"Ryuji, Yukio is right. Now is not the time to hesitate."
The two hunters behind him stepped forward to help, raising their hands to grab Hirai Takashi's hunting rifle:
"If Guinan has really told the truth, we must silence him and leave no evidence."
"Don't come over here!!!"
Hirai Takashi dodged to the side, took two steps back, and looked at them warily:
"Don't you know what kind of character Gui Nan has? He will never confess! If he didn't say anything, wouldn't this shot kill him by mistake?!"
"Second brother..."
“Shut up!”
Hirai Yukio wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hirai Takaharu:
"You are going to kill Gui Nan without any real evidence. Sakaki Makoto and his men are detectives! Your shot will only arouse their competitive spirit! If they start investigating other villagers, will you kill them one by one? Killing one is a last resort, but killing two is outrageous!!!"
After saying this, Hirai Takaharu gasped for breath, the cold rain soaked his clothes, his knuckles were so cold that they hurt to the bone, and he was trembling slightly, as if he was out of control.
He knew that he couldn't make this mistake any longer, and the remaining conscience in his heart lit up and he became firm in his attitude.
"Oh, well..."
Hirai Yukio sighed, put down his shotgun, looked at his second brother, and smiled:
"Since you've said that, let's wait and see what the situation is. Let's go over there quickly to avoid any more trouble."
"you...."
For some reason, Hirai Ryuji suddenly opened his eyes wide and began to slowly back away:
"You want to kill me?"
He knew his two brothers too well and could tell what the other was thinking just by looking at them or looking at their gestures.
Hirai Yukio rarely smiles. The first time he smiled was when he hunted a black bear, the second time he pointed his gun at Qing, and the third time he was about to kill Hirai Takami. Now...
This is the fourth time.
Holding the gun handle tightly, Hirai Takaji did not dare to relax for a moment. Fear made him tremble with fear and his stomach cramped with nervousness. He knew he had to leave quickly, otherwise he would end up being exposed in the wilderness.
The smile on Yukio Hirai's face disappeared, and he, along with the other two hunters, looked at him with cold eyes.
"Crazy...crazy...you are all crazy!"
Hirai Ryuji roared:
"Ah Qing is right, Ah Qing is right! There are some things that cannot be done. Once you do them, your mind will be devoured by desire! It turns out that he is the one who sees things most clearly. I finally understand what his last look before he jumped off the cliff meant... My heart is dead, my heart is dead!!!"
"Second brother, you have been the smartest among the three of us since we were young. How come you can't tell the difference between the primary and the secondary when it comes to the critical moment?"
Hirai Yukio walked over and tried to persuade him:
"They are outsiders after all, and we are our companions. The mountains and forests are our home ground. As long as we join hands, Sakaki Makoto and his men will not be able to escape... If the eldest brother can survive, you can also survive, and we can all return to our peaceful days. Tomorrow the rain will stop and the sun will rise as usual."
Shaking his head, Hirai Takaji stopped talking. His eyes were full of sadness and he was already disheartened.
In his eyes, Yukio Hirai and the other two had turned into dark and twisted demons. There was not a trace of humanity in them, and they were all sinful.
"Second brother..."
Yukio Hirai continued to call him softly, trying to make him change his mind.
Without hesitation, Hirai Takaharu retreated to a huge tree, turned around, and fled into the forest without looking back.
"Sachiko, what should we do now? Should we chase after him?"
After Takao Hirai and Takaharu Hirai lost their prestige one after another, the hunters in the village consciously followed Yukio Hirai's lead and asked about the next plan.
"You are no match for my second brother. He is the most careful. Every time he goes into the mountains, he sets traps. Some of them are unknown to me. Of all the hunters in the village, I admire him the most and I don't want him to leave the most."
Yukio Hirai said expressionlessly:
"Chasing him in the forest, let alone three people, even if there are ten times as many, he will kill us alive, so..."
He turned around and looked at the cliff in the distance:
"Our target should be... Where are the people?"
The place where Sakaki Makoto and others had stood was empty, with only the black bear's corpse still lying there, and even Hirai Takao was gone.
"Chase after him!"
Yukio Hirai's eyes darkened:
"You two, one of you goes to find other companions, and the other one comes with me. We must kill them before they return to the village!"
"good!"
.............................
At 11:20 p.m., Makoto Sakaki, holding a map and using Kidd's compass to determine the defenses, walked towards the village.
In the back, Tak'o Hirai was supported by Hattori Heiji with his head down. He was so depressed that he didn't want to say a word. Of course, he didn't know that he had just escaped a disaster.
Despicable! Shameless!
Takao Hirai has never seen such a person!
Using disguise to get his confession is simply unscrupulous!
At this moment, he hated himself so much for falling into Sakaki Makoto's trap that he actually blurted out everything.
but...
He still kept silent about the matters at the hunting ground. No matter how Sakaki Makoto asked, he showed an attitude of "even if you kill me today, I will not surrender" and "a determined fighter who will never surrender."
It’s so praiseworthy and admirable!
So Sakaki Makoto slapped him twice and prepared to go back to the village to interrogate him slowly.
If he didn't do something extraordinary, he always felt that it would damage his status as a villain in Takao Hirai's eyes!
Actually, Sakaki Makoto wanted to give him a good kick, but considering that he was seriously injured and might lose his life if he got kicked...
I still held back.
The terrain of the mountains has not changed much over the years. Based on Aqing's map, Sakaki Makoto found a shortcut down the mountain that could bypass the hunting ground and lead directly to the village.
Just when everyone thought they could return to the village safely...
Sakaki Makoto, who was walking in the front and leading the way, suddenly stopped, pulled out his MK23, made a gesture, and led everyone to hide behind a tree.
Soon, a lone figure appeared on the path ahead, and he seemed to be heading in the direction...
cliff?
