Chapter 54
Xiao Yuncheng didn't get off work until eight o'clock in the evening. Wu Tong called him. After Xiao Yuncheng picked up the phone, he heard Wu Tong's voice: "Hello?"
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and hummed. Wu Tong asked him if he had finished get off work, and Xiao Yuncheng replied, "Just now, preparing to drive back."
"Well, then drive slowly and be careful."
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He said "OK" and almost jumped to the parking lot like a child. Xiao Yuncheng wanted to go home very urgently, but when he thought of Wu Tong's soft words "Be careful" just now, he decided to drive carefully.
Even the music on the car radio became cheerful. Xiao Yuncheng parked the car while humming a song and locked it with a "beep beep".
The underground garage was a bit dark, and the lights here were not very bright for some reason. Xiao Yuncheng thought that he really had to talk to the property management about this, and then he walked slowly. Suddenly, his movements slowed down a bit because he realized that someone was following him.
Xiao Yuncheng sneered. Who dared to follow a policeman? What's more, he was a criminal investigation policeman. This trick was not enough in Xiao Yuncheng's eyes. Xiao Yuncheng continued to walk casually until he reached the innermost part of the underground garage. There were almost no people here, which was very convenient.
Xiao Yuncheng could sense that the man was still following him. His technique was clumsy and he wasn't a serious professional. So Xiao Yuncheng wasn't afraid anymore. He wanted to resolve the matter quickly and return to Wu Tong. So he turned around and said, "Do you want me to ask you to come out in person?"
After hearing what Xiao Yuncheng said, the man stopped hiding and stood up. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't see his face clearly, but he looked familiar. Xiao Yuncheng said slowly, "Who are you?"
The man shuddered before speaking, "Officer Xiao is so majestic. He was able to spot this."
"You don't have that ability. You should think about following a policeman." Xiao Yuncheng's tone was lazy, but his focus never shifted. He kept staring at the man, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Yes, I have no ability, but why did you ruin my career..."
What career? Xiao Yuncheng had no impression. The man couldn't even speak clearly. Xiao Yuncheng was a little annoyed and said impatiently: "Can you please speak more clearly? What do you mean by ruining your career? I, a people's policeman, don't do such things."
"You're talking nonsense!" The man finally raised his head. Xiao Yuncheng saw his face clearly. He was the owner of the bar on Quling Street.
"How did you get out?" Xiao Yuncheng's brows knitted together. He remembered that these people had been taken back to the police station. How did this person get out? Logically speaking, he should be in jail now.
The boss didn't answer his question, and Xiao Yuncheng didn't expect him to answer. Now the matter was a bit tricky. This person had escaped from prison, and the nature of the matter was different. Xiao Yuncheng didn't have any tools in his hands, and the boss seemed to be well prepared. If a fight really broke out, Xiao Yuncheng would certainly not be afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but he was afraid that this person might have weapons.
Xiao Yuncheng wanted to send a message to Shi Qian, but just as he moved his hand, his boss stopped him loudly: "Don't move!"
"No, what qualifications do you have..."
Xiao Yuncheng took a closer look and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. The boss was holding a gun in his hand, with the black muzzle pointing directly at Xiao Yuncheng's head.
It’s over, Xiao Yuncheng thought.
Wu Tong glanced at the time. It was nine o'clock. Xiao Yuncheng said he was going home at around eight o'clock. It has been almost an hour and there is no sign of him. Xiao Yuncheng's home is not far from the police station. It will only take him twenty minutes to get back. What happened that took him so long on the road?
Wu Tong took out his cell phone and looked at Xiao Yuncheng's name at the top of the contacts. He had already called Xiao Yuncheng seven times, but Xiao Yuncheng didn't answer any of them. Wu Tong's brows twitched.
Wu Tong called Shi Qian, who answered quickly: "Hello? Tongtong, what's wrong?"
"Why hasn't Xiao Yuncheng come back yet? When did he leave the police station?"
Shi Qian was confused: "I don't know, I haven't been to work these two days."
Wu Tong immediately sat up, frowning, her pretty face darkening: "Lin Chen isn't here either?"
"No, he's injured, we're all in the hospital."
Wu Tong immediately picked up the key. Shi Qian also realized that something was wrong, and his voice became serious: "Wu Tong, don't worry, I will ask the people in the bureau now."
"Hurry up, thank you."
"It's okay, don't hang up the phone yet, I'll let Lin Chen call."
Wu Tong waited for several agonizing minutes. He had never realized how little patience he had. After a while, Shi Qian's voice rang out, "They said Brother Xiao left the police station at 8 o'clock. Someone saw his car drive out."
Wu Tong finally couldn't wait any longer. He rushed out the door and said to Shi Qian on the other end of the phone, "Tell your police station to check the surveillance. I'll go check the surveillance with the property management of our community."
"good!"
Wu Tong quickly rushed to the security room at the entrance of the community. The security guard was a very gentle uncle. When he saw Wu Tong running here breathlessly, the uncle stepped forward to help Wu Tong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Before Wu Tong could catch his breath, he said to the uncle, "Uncle, can I check the community surveillance?"
"My partner is missing."
When the uncle heard someone was missing, he immediately pulled up the surveillance footage, muttering, "Oh, it's so dark, it's really too dangerous for a little girl to leave."
"..." Wu Tong paused and reminded: "Uncle, my boyfriend is Xiao Yuncheng."
The uncle was stunned for a moment and said, "Officer Xiao? Then you don't have to worry too much, right? He is a policeman after all..."
"It's different." Wu Tong knew that being a police officer would inevitably lead to some enemies, not to mention someone like Xiao Yuncheng. Wu Tong was still on the phone with Shi Qian. Shi Qian called out to Wu Tong, but Wu Tong put the phone to his ear and forced himself to calm down: "The surveillance camera in the community is checking."
"They found out that Captain Xiao's car entered the residential complex at 8:24."
Wu Tong's eyes widened suddenly, which meant that Xiao Yuncheng returned to the community very early, but something happened in the community.
"Tongtong, don't worry. I've asked them to send the police now. They will be here in ten minutes."
"Okay..." Wu Tong's voice was a little shaky. The uncle looked at the surveillance camera for a while and suddenly shouted, "Hey, is this Officer Xiao?"
Wu Tong looked up and saw Xiao Yuncheng!
Xiao Yuncheng kept walking into the parking lot, and there was really someone following him!
Wu Tong clenched his fists and told Shi Qian the news. Shi Qian's cursing voice could be heard: "Fuck, Captain Xiao is caught at this time! Captain Xiao has no self-defense equipment at this time. What if..."
He didn't dare to continue.
Lin Chen patted Shi Qian on the back and gently soothed him: "It's okay, Xiao Yuncheng is very powerful, maybe it's not as bad as we think."
Shi Qian looked at Lin Chen and sighed. Wu Tong remained silent. He stared intently at the back of the man following Xiao Yuncheng on the surveillance camera. He picked up his phone and his voice was clearly filled with anger: "Shi Qian, is this how the prison department of your police station treats prisoners?"
Shi Qian was stunned. Lin Chen reacted quickly and immediately called the person in charge of the prison department. Then he received the shocking news: the bar owner on Quling Street had escaped from prison.
Shi Qian grabbed Lin Chen's phone and angrily scolded him, "What the hell are you looking at? Huh?! Are those two eyes of yours just for show?!"
Wu Tong had already started to tremble all over. He didn't dare to think about what Xiao Yuncheng was going through now, but the more he didn't dare to think about it, the more the scene came to mind. Wu Tong was sick.
He hurriedly took out the medicine from his pocket - he was afraid that he would hear some bad news and lose control, but he didn't expect it to be true.
He swallowed a few pills whole and managed to stabilize his heartbeat. The uncle also realized that something was wrong and was about to call the police when the police car's sirens were approaching.
"Advisor Wu, you..."
Wu Tong raised his hand and said weakly, "Don't worry about me. Go find someone."
The police nodded and started searching immediately. Wu Tong covered his chest with his hands. He began to have difficulty breathing. The medicine he took did not solve his condition well. Wu Tong poured out a few more pills and put them in his mouth.
Shi Qian was still cursing on the other end of the phone, but Wu Tong no longer had the strength to speak. He was so scared now, so scared that something would really happen to Xiao Yuncheng and he would never see him again.
Xiao Yuncheng, can you live well?
Xiao Yuncheng was sitting in the car, his hands were tightly tied with hemp rope. Half an hour ago, the boss asked him to follow him obediently and tied his hands with hemp rope. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the back of his head, forcing him to get into the car.
Xiao Yuncheng looked at the scenes flashing by quickly outside the window and quickly realized that they were now heading to Quling Street. Xiao Yuncheng didn't know what the boss's purpose was in taking him to Quling Street. His mobile phone was confiscated by the boss and his belongings were searched clean. Xiao Yuncheng wondered if Wu Tong would miss him. He hadn't been home for so long, Wu Tong would be worried, right?
Xiao Yuncheng's cell phone was locked in the co-pilot's drawer. At first, his phone kept ringing, so the boss turned it off and threw it into the drawer. Xiao Yuncheng felt that the possibility of getting the phone back was slim, so he had to find a way to contact the outside world, otherwise no one would know where the boss was taking him, and he would not end up well anyway.
Xiao Yuncheng looked around him and found nothing. He sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the kidnapping would happen to him. If he didn't have a gun in his hand, Xiao Yuncheng could have twisted the person's head off in minutes.
But the truth is so cruel, the kidnappers have guns, but I have nothing.
Fuck you.
Xiao Yuncheng saw the car approaching the gate of Quling Street. He estimated in his mind the time it would take for the police to get here, and had a rough idea. The car stopped. Xiao Yuncheng looked sideways and saw the boss getting out of the car and saying a few words in an incomprehensible language to the old man at the door - the language of Quling Street.
Only then did Xiao Yuncheng realize the purpose of his boss bringing him here: sacrifice.
He destroyed the business on Quling Street, causing it to be invaded by what they called ghosts and gods. The instigator of the incident must offer a physical sacrifice to drive away the ghosts and gods.
Xiao Yuncheng sneered. It was outrageous that he was afraid of ghosts and gods even though he was doing shady business.
Quling Street is very quiet at night. Unlike the streets and alleys in the city, there is no nightlife here. There is a rule in Quling Street that people are not allowed to go out after nine o'clock in the evening. Then there will be a ghost-hunting team parading on the street to drive away ghosts.
Xiao Yuncheng supported his chin with both hands and looked out the window, still calculating the time in his mind. The boss did not look back once from beginning to end. He drove the car to the center of Quling Street, where there was a temple.
"Come down!"
Xiao Yuncheng was urged to get off the car. He looked at the yellow paper talismans floating on the ground and cursed them in his heart for being feudal and superstitious.
The boss pointed a gun at the back of his head and forced him to walk into the temple. Xiao Yuncheng thought it was not the right time, so he obediently followed him into the temple.
Sure enough, there were not only people in the temple, but also many people, almost all of them were monks wearing Taoist robes and pretending to be monks. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't help but sneer and said to the boss: "You run this business, aren't you afraid that these ghosts will find you?"
"It's because of you that they're here!" the boss yelled. "Shut up!"
"A Quan, stop shouting." One of the monks spoke out to stop him, and the boss named A Quan finally shut up.
