Chapter 381: If I had met Ye Qingyue first】
Ye Qingyue frowned when she heard
this. Since there are a lot of bloodstains of Huo Qingchi in both directions, let's take a look at the nearby area first.
Ye Qingyue followed Huo Shan and Yan Yun without saying anything.
There was still some distance to the hunter's hut up the mountain, and she did not consume merit points to expand the scanning distance to explore, because the farther the distance, the faster the merit points would be consumed.
After buying a disposable tracking device, her remaining merit points were a bit tight.
Huo Qingchi's tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and she would have to spend a lot of merit points to treat Huo Qingchi, so she didn't dare to waste any now.
Finally, the three saw the hunter's hut, which seemed to be less than a hundred meters away.
"Woof...woof."
Ye Qingyue heard the barking of a dog in the grass nearby and looked over subconsciously.
A police officer covered the dog's mouth, quietly poked his head out, gestured to them, opened his mouth silently, and indicated with his mouth -
"The dog smelled Huo Qingchi."
The leading Huo Shan and Yan Yun immediately looked at the hunter's hut.
The hut was a place where hunters from the deserted village used to take a rest when they went into the mountains to hunt. It was very simple and no one had used it in these years. The wood used to build the house was already broken and cracked.
Now those cracks are blocked with straw and other things, which seems to have happened not long ago. The traces look quite new, and it should be the work of enemy spies. It's
just that the door has been in disrepair for a long time and is not closed tightly.
From the crack of the door, a shadow can be vaguely seen, like a person.
But there are many trees here, the light is dim, and it is not very clear.
Huo Shan is eager to save people. After learning from the police that the police dog smelled Huo Qingchi's scent, he couldn't help but stride forward.
Yan Yun quickly followed and whispered: "You stay calm, be careful of an ambush inside."
"I know." Huo Shan's voice was hoarse.
For some reason, the two had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Because it was too quiet here.
Huo Shan was even prepared to see a corpse after opening the door.
He and Yan Yun walked forward slowly-
just at this moment, a pair of hands grabbed them.
"Don't go over."
Ye Qingyue's voice came from behind.
Huo Shan was stunned and turned his head to look at Ye Qingyue.
Ye Qingyue's face looked very ugly: "There's no one inside."
Huo Shan said: "This is also possible. After all, the letter sent by the group of enemy spies did not say that they would release people if they were given money. I guess they may have another plan. Anyway, put the money in that room first..."
"I saw it."
Ye Qingyue interrupted him, "I have good eyesight and can see the scene inside the house."
She raised her voice so that the police who were ambushing around could hear it, "There's no one in the room, only Qingchi's clothes, and there are a lot of footsteps near the house, and the traces of mud are particularly obvious. I suspect they have set a trap inside!"
After a pause, Ye Qingyue said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's explosives! I smell gunpowder!"
"What did you say?!"
After she finished speaking, not only Yan Yun and Huo Shan, but even the police who were ambushing in the dark couldn't sit still.
Explosives?!
"Go find someone who can clear mines right away!"
The police did not doubt Ye Qingyue's words. When it comes to explosives, even if there is a slight possibility, they must be treated with caution!
After the leading police confirmed that there were no enemy spies hiding around, he walked out of the bushes and said to Huo Shan and Yan Yun: "Don't go in yet, wait until our colleagues arrive..." Before
he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something and shouted: "What are you doing?!"
Ye Qingyue suddenly rushed to the hunter's hut, her eyes swept across the ground, as if to confirm something, and ran in a certain direction.
The speed was so fast, like a gust of wind, and before all the police present could react, her figure jumped into the bushes and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Qingyue ignored the person who called her from behind. As she shuttled through the forest, she raised her hand from time to time to look at the signpost on the ring to confirm her direction and move forward at a high speed.
She did not really see the scene in the cabin just now, but when she approached the cabin, she cautiously expanded the system scanning range. The
moment the scan was detected, the system sounded an alarm -
"There is no one in the house! There is only a set of blood-stained clothes! There are a large number of bombs buried underground, and there are mines at the door. Host, please do not approach! Please do not approach!"
Ye Qingyue immediately understood that this was just a trap.
A trap to kill Huo Shan and Yan Yun!
The blood-stained clothes in the house were also deliberately set up by the enemy.
With the vigilance of the group of people who remembered to sprinkle potions when evacuating, how could they not have thought that the police would bring police dogs to confirm?
The blood-stained clothes were meant to confuse the police and mislead Huo Shan and Yan Yun. There might be Huo Qingchi himself or his belongings in the house.
Huo Shan and Yan Yun, who were eager to save their son, would not think too much and would go straight into the house after learning about this.
Then they would step on a landmine and die together, with no chance of rescue!
The enemy spies never thought about the Huo family's money, they just wanted Huo Shan and Yan Yun to die!
So, what about Huo Qingchi?
The enemy spies were so ruthless, would they leave Huo Qingchi alive?
Ye Qingyue got the answer almost immediately -
no.
The purpose of that group of people from beginning to end was not money, but human life!
They wanted to kill not only Huo Shan and Yan Yun, but also Huo Qingchi!
Then why was there no body of Huo Qingchi in the house, but only blood-stained clothes?
When this question came to mind, Ye Qingyue thought of a person -
Huo Ze.
He hated Huo Qingchi to the core, and in his previous life, he killed Huo's family members one after another, but left Huo Qingchi behind.
Huo Ze would not kill Huo Qingchi easily, his purpose was to torture Huo Qingchi before killing him, which was one of the reasons why he cut the tendons of Huo Qingchi's hands and feet.
So, when did Huo Ze keep Huo Qingchi alive at first? When did he want to wait to make his move?
Ye Qingyue thought of the gunpowder buried under the hut, and she had the answer in her heart -
now!
Huo Ze wanted to wait until he heard the explosion and confirmed the death of Huo Shan and Yan Yun before telling Huo Qingchi the news, letting Huo Qingchi die in despair!
If Huo Ze hadn't heard the explosion, he should have reacted quickly, and the plan to ambush Huo Shan and Yan Yun would have failed.
With Huo Ze's vigilance, he would not delay any longer, but would choose to directly end Huo Qingchi's life and then run away!
Ye Qingyue's intuition told her that time was running out!
She must find Huo Ze and Huo Qingchi as soon as possible!
"If Huo Ze wanted Qingchi to die in agony, he would definitely stay where he could hear the explosion, which must be not far from here. There is still a chance..."
Ye Qingyue gritted her teeth and ran in the forest. She still had a chance to save Huo Qingchi!
No, she must save Huo Qingchi!
...
In the cave.
Huo Ze carried a basin of cold water and poured it on Huo Qingchi on the ground -
"Bla!"
He saw Huo Qingchi move, and said with a smile: "You are really lucky. You are not dead even in this state, but it will be soon, right? Even if I don't kill you now and let you be rescued by the police, you won't live long, right?"
Huo Qingchi opened his eyes and looked at Huo Ze expressionlessly.
"No, forget it."
Huo Ze met his eyes and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I almost forgot, cousin, you still have Ye Qingyue to help you. With her around, I always feel that she will find ways to save you. I don't want to have any more nightmares. You must die in my hands."
When Huo Ze mentioned "Ye Qingyue", his expression changed slightly. He said, "Why do all the good things in the world get taken by you, cousin? If I met Ye Qingyue first..."
