Chapter 178: Do you have a gun?

When Shen Linglan heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye You.

Ye You noticed her gaze, which was filled with confusion and suspicion. Ye You looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Who else did you tell about the madman in the villa?"

"No one..." Ye You touched his head, "I thought it would be best if we could capture that lunatic alive, but he was so good at making poisons and viruses, so I called the police department's armed forces and asked them to send someone to support us."

Shen Linglan turned to the direction of Lu Shaohua who was driving and urged him, "Drive faster, faster."

Behind their car, a burst of sirens sounded from far away and got closer, making people panic.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shaohua asked Shen Linglan while speeding up.

Shen Linglan only said: "The people in the villa know that someone is coming."

"What!" Ye You couldn't sit still anymore. He looked back and saw that the police car was getting closer and closer to them, and it seemed like it was going to overtake them.

He turned around and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, is there a traitor in the bureau? That doesn't make sense, how can the boss of a small company be involved with the police? Or..."

He kept chattering in the passenger seat, and Lu Shaohua could no longer hold back and stepped on the accelerator to the floor.

The car quickly drove into the villa area. Chen Xiaohong was about to run out with her suitcase when she was stopped by Huang Linfeng who was waiting outside the villa.

Chen Xiaohong cried and begged Huang Linfeng to let her go, but Huang Linfeng did not loosen his grip on her wrist at all.

After Lu Shaohua and the others arrived, they had no time to care about Chen Xiaohong. Chen Xiaohong's hands were held tightly, and even Shen Linglan was too lazy to look at her.

The four of them went straight up the stairs, with Chen Xiaohong still shouting behind them, "What are you doing!? Stop! Stop! You are not allowed to go in! Where are you from? Why did you break into a private house and hurt me? I want to call the police!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of sirens not far away came into her ears.

Chen Xiaohong raised her free hand with all her strength and shouted towards the police car, "Help - help - police - save me -"

Soon, her other hand was grabbed and her mouth was covered tightly by Huang Linfeng.

Shen Linglan, Lu Shaohua and others quickly went upstairs amid the sound of sirens.

The surveillance video shows that no one has come downstairs, so the madman is most likely upstairs.

Zhao Yunduo reminded Shen Linglan in his mind to be extremely careful, and checked the pistols in the space. There were plenty of bullets and they could be used whenever they wanted.

Shen Linglan also exchanged a glance with Zhang Shengnan, and told Zhang Shengnan all the unfinished words with her eyes.

On the fourth floor stairs, Lu Shaohua and Ye You were both startled by the locked iron railings, as if they didn't know why this place was locked.

Shen Linglan also asked them, "Do you have guns? This lock is not only to prevent people from downstairs from going up, it is also likely to prevent things from upstairs from running down."

This is even more terrifying.

"No..." Ye You didn't have a permit to carry a gun, and Lu Shaohua didn't have one either.

At this moment, hearing the sirens getting closer, they became anxious.

If there really was a "ghost", then they might not be able to go upstairs to catch the lunatic.

Just when they didn't know what to do, they saw Shen Linglan take out a gun from her bag, loaded the gun, and with a bang, the padlock fell to the ground.

"You have a gun!?" Ye You was surprised.

Shen Linglan did not answer, but just made a hissing sound, then lowered her head, picked up the padlock and threw it into her bag.

Lu Shaohua didn't ask any more questions. He was the first to open the iron fence and stepped over.

A solemn and tense atmosphere spread, and Ye You couldn't help but find a hammer in his bag and picked it up in his hand - he had brought it with him when he went to work in the morning, intending to use it to repair the drawer in his office, and it finally came in handy now.

Four people crossed the iron railing one by one. Those with weapons held their weapons tightly, and those without weapons clenched their fists.

The noise of using a gun to break open a lock was quite loud, and the people upstairs must have heard it a long time ago. However, at this moment the fifth floor was still quiet, without any strange sounds.

The police had already arrived downstairs. Huang Linfeng could stop Chen Xiaohong, but he certainly couldn't stop the police. The sound of his boots on the marble slabs was particularly harsh, and Shen Linglan heard it clearly.

Fortunately, the police had not yet gone up to the fourth floor, so the four of them went up to the fifth floor first.

The fifth floor was just as messy and disorderly as Shen Linglan had seen in that quick glance in the camera image, with experimental equipment scattered everywhere, notes everywhere, tissues, dishes, and other garbage on the floor, as well as gloves and masks.

But when I looked around, there was no one on the fifth floor.

The four of them slowed down their breathing, looked at each other, and didn't dare to speak.

They all walked towards the two closed doors on the fifth floor.

Lu Shaohua pricked up his ears and listened at both doors, only to find that there was no sound from either side.

"Is there no one on the fifth floor?"

Shen Linglan has been closely following every move in the villa these past two days. There were only a few more people on the fifth floor, but no one left from the stairs.

Suddenly, Shen Linglan thought of something. She quickly pulled open the bolt on the left bronze door. She held the gun in her left hand and pushed the bronze door open with her right hand.

When she thought that there might be an ugly zombie inside that could pounce on her at any time, or a madman with a weapon and dishevelled hair, Shen Linglan felt her heart beating violently.

Over there, Lu Shaohua pushed the bronze door open a crack completely, allowing Shen Linglan to hold the gun tightly with both hands and get ready for battle.

But unexpectedly, there was no zombie or person in the room.

There was only an iron chain on the ground, placed randomly on the ground, and the place for handcuffs was empty.

What was weird was that there were not only handcuffs in the room, but also a bed, a dirty white coat beside the bed, and some syringes left next to the handcuffs.

"There seems to be a hole under the bed."

After hearing Shen Linglan's words, Ye You and Lu Shaohua pushed the single bed to the side, revealing a hole inside that was big enough to accommodate a person.

The empty room and the hole that had no time to recover made it easy to tell what had happened.

Ye You was stunned, looking at the cave entrance and muttering, "It's too late..."
