Chapter 634 Murder
I pressed the intercom and kept staring into his eyes. He opened his mouth and said, "There's nothing going on here. We didn't see anything."
"Okay, keep a close eye on things and report anything immediately."
"knew."
After I finished speaking, there was no response from the walkie-talkie. The guy in front of me looked at me and said, "Now... can you let me go?"
I smiled and said, "Of course I can let you go, but I need you to do one thing."
"What is it?" he asked fearfully.
You'll find out soon enough.
...
The village is surrounded by farmland, with no buildings around it.
The pitch-black night provided us with excellent cover. After descending the earthen slope, we quietly approached the village.
The ancestral hall was still brightly lit, but that was all; the surrounding houses were pitch black, and nothing could be seen. I had found it strange before—even a large ancestral hall would be crowded with a hundred people—but now I understood; this was a trap set by that man surnamed Zhou.
We hid in the darkness, and I released the person from before.
I also gave him a gun and told him to use it to kill that guy surnamed Zhou. I told him that if he killed Zhou, he would live. But if he didn't, we would rush in and kill them all, including himself.
I know there are big loopholes in doing this, and they might all escape and leave this place.
This is exactly the effect I wanted. They have already moved all the unrelated people to other places. What I want is for them to escape and then lead us to where their people are hiding, so we can take them all down at once.
Of course, they might not go to their hiding place after they escape.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we make them panic, the matter will be considered settled.
A short while later, I saw through my binoculars that the guy with the gun had entered the houses surrounding the ancestral hall.
Then I saw people come out of the houses around the ancestral hall and then go back in.
It seems that the guy wasn't lying; the man surnamed Zhou and his men were indeed lying in ambush in these houses.
I said, "Let's go, let's set off immediately."
I gave the order.
We divided into four groups of twenty people and dispersed close to each other.
Although our people aren't a well-trained army, at least they all know how to conceal themselves. Besides, the man surnamed Zhou isn't a professional either; even if they see us, it will take them some time to react.
This period of time is sufficient for us to take action.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lao Li and I went directly to an alley next to the house.
We approached a window on the side and heard sounds and noises coming from inside.
"What are you doing here! Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on things over there!" Boss Zhou's voice suddenly rang out.
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly; I found the person directly.
"I...I...I had no choice..."
The guy's voice was hesitant and he sounded scared.
Come to think of it, if I received such an order, I would definitely be terrified. It's normal for this guy to be in this situation. I just don't know what he will do next. Will he pull out his gun and kill someone, or will he tell this guy surnamed Zhou what just happened?
I thought about it for a short while...
Bang!
A gunshot rang out from inside the house, and Lao Li and I exchanged a glance.
Did that kid succeed?
But soon I learned that the kid had failed and had been killed.
Because Zhou Laoda's voice came from inside the house: "Damn it, where did this kid get a gun! He even dares to kill me, is he crazy!"
Someone nearby said, "Boss, could it be that those people have already arrived?"
Upon hearing this, I gave Lao Li a look, and the two of us immediately went to the exit of the alley. Looking outside, we saw someone standing at the door keeping watch.
At the same time, I also saw that the others on our side had already set up an ambush, just waiting for my orders.
Now was the perfect moment. Boss Zhou hadn't fully reacted yet, so without thinking, I pointed my gun at the guy standing at the door keeping watch and fired decisively.
Bang!
The moment the gunshot rang out, everyone heard the command.
Then, the twenty of us got to work.
To catch the thief, you must first catch the king, so I, along with Lao Li and the two people following behind me, decisively rushed to the door and started firing inside.
The people inside started firing, but I fired first, and most of them died instantly.
As for the other three groups, they also stormed into several surrounding houses and began shooting and killing people. In less than half a minute, more than half of Zhou's group were dead.
As for the rest of the people, they all hid and dared not come out.
The man surnamed Zhou clearly didn't expect me to suddenly appear here and attack them, so he didn't react at all.
In no time, the other three groups had finished all their tasks and even searched the ancestral hall, but found no one there.
Those who deserved to die are all dead.
Now, only the people in this room remain.
I had Lao Li gather half of the men and have them completely surround the house. The other half were to continue searching.
I was afraid there were still people hiding nearby, which is why I had them continue searching.
I shouted into the room, "Zhou, I know you're still alive. I'm giving you a chance. Step forward, and I'll give you a taste of your own medicine. If I catch you later, don't blame me for torturing you."
At this moment, Boss Zhou said, "Bastard! Don't think you've won just like that. Let me tell you, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
I sneered and said, "Whether I suffer retribution or not is a matter for the future and has nothing to do with the present. You should think about yourself. You actually ate human flesh! So, your retribution has come."
No one was talking inside, and I had no idea what they were doing.
I continued, "Listen up, you people inside. I'm giving you a chance to live. If you hand over that guy surnamed Zhou to me, I'll release the rest of you and spare your lives."
As soon as I said that, there was a commotion inside, and several gunshots rang out at the same time. It seemed like there was infighting. I think it was Boss Zhou who fired the shots.
Sure enough, not long after the gunshots, Boss Zhou said, "You bastards outside! Let me tell you, you won't be taking my life today."
I said, "I'm quite curious, what other way do you have to leave here?"
Boss Zhou sneered, "Even if I can't leave, I'll drag you down with me!"
