Chapter 23
Xiao Yuncheng searched around and accidentally found a patch of grass that was tilted in an abnormal posture, as if it had been trampled on by someone.
Xiao Yuncheng walked through the grass, making rustling sounds along the way. In the dense bushes, Xiao Yuncheng used his arms to draw a path and passed through it, revealing his serious face.
"Captain Xiao, support will arrive in ten minutes. Where are you?!"
Shi Qian's anxious questions came from the earphone, but Xiao Yuncheng seemed not to hear them. He was stunned by the scene in front of him. On the other side of the bushes, Wu Tong was held up by Xu Ze and was unconscious. Xu Ze heard the noise and looked towards the source of the sound, only to meet Xiao Yuncheng's angry and frightened eyes.
"Hey, what brings you here again, Officer Xiao?"
Xu Ze gently placed Wu Tong against the tree, then turned to face Xiao Yuncheng with a smug look on his face.
"Give Wu Tong back to me." Xiao Yuncheng said gritting his teeth.
But Xu Ze put away his previous playful expression and rushed straight towards Xiao Yuncheng with a punch!
Xiao Yuncheng reacted extremely quickly, turning his head to deflect the punch, and with a backhand snap, he grabbed his wrist and tried to throw him over his shoulder. Xu Ze tightened his abdomen and exerted force in the air, actually drawing a perfect semicircle in the air, and then he pulled his leg back and kicked Xiao Yuncheng!
“Fuck!…”
Xiao Yuncheng hadn't expected Xu Ze, a doctor, to be so skilled in combat. He was completely enraged, steadying his footing and charging towards him. Xu Ze kept dodging, while Xiao Yuncheng pressed on, the two retreating through the bushes into the factory.
"Why, Officer Xiao, you can't even catch me, right?"
Xu Ze dodged Xiao Yuncheng's attacks while constantly mocking him. Xiao Yuncheng kept a frown on his face and swung his fists with increasing force.
Until Xu Ze had no way to avoid it and his back hit the stone pillar. He tilted his head slightly, and Xiao Yuncheng's fist slammed into the stone pillar. Xiao Yuncheng grabbed Xu Ze's shoulder with his backhand, but Xu Ze clamped his wrist instead and kicked him hard in the chest, making him take several steps back!
As soon as Xiao Yuncheng's heel touched the ground, Xu Ze attacked again in the next second, punching him quickly and almost directly at his solar plexus. Xiao Yuncheng was not the kind of person who would always retreat. He seized the gap before Xu Ze swung his fist and kicked Xu Ze away with a fierce kick. He then rushed behind him and kicked Xu Ze out with a flying kick. He hit the stone pillar with a bang, and Xu Ze felt a piercing pain in his back.
Xiao Yuncheng walked towards Xu Ze step by step, his eyes sharp. He narrowed his eyes and looked down at Xu Ze on the ground: "Didn't you think you could escape? What about now?"
Xu Ze grinned and laughed, but after just two laughs he started coughing violently. The sound seemed to be vibrating out from his chest. Xu Ze coughed up blood violently, and the blood spilled onto the concrete floor, so red that it was almost black.
Xu Ze raised his teeth stained with scarlet blood and laughed crazily. Xiao Yuncheng just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dying mad dog.
"Did I ever say you guys are really stupid?"
As soon as Xu Ze finished speaking, Xiao Yuncheng noticed movement behind him. He moved to the right at almost lightning speed and narrowly avoided the blow from the oncoming man.
The man was dressed in black, and his face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his physique, his fighting ability was definitely not inferior to Xiao Yuncheng, and this was indeed the case.
The man moved incredibly fast, and each stick he swung almost brushed against Xiao Yuncheng's cheek, raising gusts of fierce wind. Xiao Yuncheng was so frightened that he was kicked hard by him and almost fell down.
When he came to his senses, the man had already carried Xu Ze. Xiao Yuncheng immediately rushed towards them: "Don't run!"
Bang!
A bullet grazed Xiao Yuncheng's shoulder. Xiao Yuncheng was stunned. He slowly turned his head and saw a man dressed like that man standing behind him, holding a gun in his hand, with the muzzle facing him and wisps of smoke coming out.
There are actually accomplices!
Xiao Yuncheng was now in a dilemma. Two mysterious men pulled Wu Tong and Xu Ze up, pulled out something in their hands and smashed it to the ground!
Bang!
Thick smoke exploded in an instant, quickly submerging them in it. Xiao Yuncheng immediately rushed towards Wu Tong, but he could not find anyone. They had actually disappeared!
"grass!!!"
Xiao Yuncheng roared angrily, his clenched fists shaking violently.
"Captain Xiao? Captain Xiao!"
At this moment, the supporting special police arrived. They rushed into the smoke and pulled Xiao Yuncheng out. At first, they thought it was poisonous gas and put a gas mask on him.
"Go...go stop those people!" Xiao Yuncheng struggled and said to the special police.
However, the scene was in such chaos, and with the smoke still lingering, everyone's top priority was to get the police out of danger. Almost no one heard the voice Xiao Yuncheng muffled behind the mask.
Shi Qian hurried over: "Captain Xiao!"
Xiao Yuncheng immediately grabbed Shi Qian's arm upon hearing the familiar voice, pulled off his gas mask, and shouted, "Wu Tong has been taken away by Xu Ze and his men! Send someone to conduct a large-scale investigation in Yunyue now, quick!"
Before Shi Qian could even say a word of comfort, he hurriedly called his men to chase Xu Ze and the others. Xiao Yuncheng collapsed on the ground in an instant, his mind full of Wu Tong's face. He didn't dare to think about what kind of harm he would suffer if Wu Tong fell into Xu Ze's hands. In addition, Xu Ze's feelings for Wu Tong were not pure...
Xiao Yuncheng’s brain was about to explode.
After a long time, Shi Qian's voice sounded in the headset. He said apologetically: "Captain Xiao, we can't find anyone..."
Xiao Yuncheng closed his eyes tiredly. He knew that he must not rush now, otherwise it would only waste time. He ordered Shi Qian: "Go back to the Municipal Bureau first."
In the Municipal Bureau, Xiao Yuncheng was sitting in the corner of the conference table, and Lin Chen was talking at the other end. Everyone could see that Xiao Yuncheng was in a bad mood, but no one dared to disturb him. They almost all knew the relationship between Xiao Yuncheng and Consultant Wu, and they were also worried about Wu Tong's safety.
"The murderer is near us and controlled the explosion in the greenhouse..."
Lin Chen flipped through the files, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, then continued, "Our personnel are seriously injured. Consultant Wu has been taken away by the murderer. We must seize the time and protect the lives of the hostages as quickly as possible. Do you hear me?!"
"yes!"
The police, each of them carrying a heavy responsibility, rushed out, leaving only Lin Chen and Xiao Yuncheng in the meeting room. Lin Chen saw that Xiao Yuncheng had been in a bad mood all afternoon. He knew that Xiao Yuncheng was like this because of Wu Tong, so he wanted to comfort him, but Xiao Yuncheng suddenly said, "Is there anything to eat?"
Lin Chen: “…”
Xiao Yuncheng was slurping instant noodles in the office while Lin Chen was talking to him about the progress of the investigation.
"Did you watch the surveillance too?" Xiao Yuncheng said while chewing.
"Nonsense!" Lin Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Do you even need me to tell you? I've been watching you for a long time."
Lin Chen paused, then continued, "When will you interrogate that kid Chen Hao?"
Xiao Yuncheng finished the last bite of noodles, took two pieces of paper to wipe his mouth, and threw the garbage into the trash can in one go. He said to Lin Chen, "Bring that beast here now."
Inside the interrogation room, Chen Hao was wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes and mouth exposed, making his face almost invisible. Xiao Yuncheng pushed open the door and strode over to him. He pulled out a chair with a swish, causing it to rub against the floor, making a hair-raising sound.
Xiao Yuncheng put a photo in front of Chen Hao and asked him with a raised eyebrow, "Do you know this person?"
Chen Hao glanced at the photo, and was shocked. His whole body began to tremble, and he said something unclearly. Xiao Yuncheng could only barely hear some words like "beast" and "death", but even if he heard it clearly, it would probably be of no value.
The person in the photo was Xu Ze.
"Looks like he recognized him." Xiao Yuncheng leaned back in his chair, staring intently at Chen Hao's face, and said, "Chen Xiuping is not dead, so Xu Ze wants to go find him, and you also happen to know where he is, right?"
Chen Hao laughed after hearing this, his body trembling with laughter. Looking extremely strange, Chen Hao finally said, "What's the use of knowing? Can you catch him?"
"As long as you are willing to cooperate with the police, we will definitely catch him." Xiao Yuncheng gave him an affirmative answer.
But Chen Hao laughed again as if he had heard a joke. He slowly approached Xiao Yuncheng, stared at him with his bloodshot eyes, and said, "It's useless."
“…”
Xiao Yuncheng was not shaken by his words. On the contrary, he calmly opened his laptop and said, "Let's finish reading it first and then decide if it's possible."
On the screen, there was an abandoned chemical factory - Chen Hao's drug processing factory.
This was discovered by Xiao Yuncheng in Yunyue in advance. Chen Hao's factory was hidden very secretly, but the chemical elements of drugs were detected in the sewage wastewater. Xiao Yuncheng immediately took people to control the place and found a large number of traces such as Chen Hao's fingerprints and footprints.
Chen Hao stared intently at the screen when suddenly a figure appeared on the screen. It was Xu Ze. Xu Ze walked over to the chemical reaction table and poured a test tube of drugs into the sink. Xu Ze's voice appeared on the computer: "Who would want such low-quality goods as Chen Hao?"
Chen Hao's eyes widened, and he almost pressed his face against the computer screen. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuncheng dimly: "You are faking it, right?"
Xiao Yuncheng raised one eyebrow, as if wondering why Chen Hao thought it was fake. Chen Hao continued, "My factory has already removed the surveillance cameras."
Well, Chen Hao isn't that smart, Xiao Yuncheng thought.
"If you tear it down, no one will install it again? But..." Xiao Yuncheng also sat up straight, folded his hands on the table, and denied it. A dangerous light flashed in his eyes: "We ran a trace test on that surveillance camera, and there are indeed Xu Ze's fingerprints on it."
Chen Hao's pupils contracted violently as he realized Xu Ze's betrayal. His teeth dug deep into the corner of his mouth, causing blood to flow. He roared unwillingly, "That bastard also deceived Wu Tong!"
"So, if you're unwilling to let him escape so easily, you know what to do."
"That bastard Xu Ze... loves the tea rose flower. He should go to the spillway of Qingfeng Reservoir..." Chen Hao said with empty eyes. Xiao Yuncheng glanced at Lin Chen outside the glass window. Lin Chen immediately understood and picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Everyone, prepare to set off for Qingfeng Reservoir. Perform technical reconnaissance and locate the location, then send it to the commander-in-chief."
Suddenly Chen Hao seemed to come back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Yuncheng and laughed crazily, "But it's too late for you...Xu Ze has already taken Wu Tong..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Hao suddenly foamed at the mouth and rolled his eyes. He began to twitch. Xiao Yuncheng stood up and shouted out the door, "Call the medical examiner!"
