Chapter 804 Touching Beihua Town
Masuo Eri had been frightened quite a lot in the past few days. And the kidnappers were obviously too lazy to help the hostage with a reasonable diet, and they adhered to the simple principle of "as long as she didn't die" in terms of food, clothing and housing.
In such a harsh environment, Masuoo Eri was feeling exhausted and had been sleeping soundly just now.
...Until she was startled by a series of strange muffled sounds, she finally opened her eyes with her remaining alertness and her instinctive fear of that kind of sound.
Then, she saw someone swinging a stick and beating someone nearby. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but in her blur, Masuo Eri could see "joy" and "relaxation" on the face of the person beating her, which was a terrible emotion that was incompatible with the current environment.
What was even more terrifying was that after she stared blankly for a few seconds, the guy who was beating her suddenly withdrew his gaze from the half-dead man in black, as if he had noticed something was happening on her side, and turned his head to look at her.
Masuo Eri: “!!!”
Jiang Xia: “…”
He looked at the frightened hostages, and then at the kidnappers who no longer had much murderous intent. He first picked up the murderous intent that had been knocked off and put it away, then picked up the rope next to him, stepped on the man in black, tied him up, and tied a few knots.
Then he turned and walked towards the woman in the corner.
As he approached, the other party began to squirm in panic, wishing he could shrink himself into the corner.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person." Jiang Xia noticed that her attitude was wrong, paused slightly, and hid the baton behind him.
Then he smiled warmly.
He said softly, "Mr. Yamabe left a secret code for the outside world. I felt that the place indicated by the code might be near the track, so I wanted to go over and take a look. I didn't expect that I was unfortunately knocked down by the brutal robbers on the way and caught here. So when I woke up just now, I took the opportunity to defend myself while the other men in black were away... Sorry, did I scare you?"
As he spoke, he untied the ropes and the cloth covering Eri Masuo's mouth.
Masuo Eri had just woken up and was still a little confused.
Although she was still very frightened, she understood Jiang Xia's words "come and save them".
Looking at the man in black lying on the ground like a dumpling, and recognizing that Jiang Xia was indeed a detective, and after he put away the baton, Jiang Xia was indeed a good man no matter how you looked at it... Masuo Eri's nose felt sore, and the fear in her heart just now gradually turned into relief after escaping danger. In addition, she also felt a little touched by the young detective who risked his life to save people.
If it weren't for her and Koichi, the detective wouldn't have been hit by a robber in a deserted alley.
…Although Masu Oe-ri had vaguely heard the sound of people being beaten while she was still asleep, now that she thought about it carefully, she felt that it might be Jiang Xia who was fighting desperately with the criminals, and Jiang Xia won in the end.
As for his expression when he hit someone, well, maybe it was an illusion caused by the angle... I haven't been in good shape these days, and I am easily dazzled. Now Jiang Xia's gentle expression can be seen very clearly. Besides, the person opposite is a gunman, so what's wrong with the detective hitting him a few times?
As a victim of the men in black, Eri Masuo recalled what had happened to her and Yamabe Koichi in the past few days, and soon, half sincerely and half by hypnosis, she forgot the movement she sensed when she just woke up.
She massaged her sore arms and legs, glanced at the door that Jiang Xia had closed, and asked softly, "What should we do next? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Jiang Xia recalled the layout of the corridor outside and pointed her in the right direction: "Leave from the east staircase. There should be no robbers over there." Because there was no murderous aura over there...
"What about you?" Masuo Eri was still worried about a lot of things. "Kouichi is still in their hands..."
"Go ahead and don't worry about us." Jiang Xia had a serious expression as if to say "I'll cover your back". He patted her shoulder, helped her up, and pushed her towards the door. "Mr. Yamabe dared to resist when you were not here. I will create opportunities for him..." As he spoke, he found that Masuo Eri was becoming more and more worried. Jiang Xia vaguely realized that it didn't sound safe to say this.
So he changed the topic naturally: "Of course, considering that this is more dangerous. Rather than clashing with the criminals, I will hide nearby and keep an eye on the movements of the men in black. If the robbers find that you are missing, they may take Mr. Yamabe away. I will stay here and find out which way they went later.
"In the meantime, find the police as soon as possible and report the incident. My phone is broken and cannot be used. The phone of the man in black in the room is also a bit fragile. I just took a look and it is broken... Your phones have also been taken away."
Seeing Masuo Eri nodded, Jiang Xia continued: "I didn't see the road clearly when I came here, and I don't know if there is a police station nearby. If the police station is too far away, I will have to borrow a cell phone from passers-by for help. Remember, walk a little further before asking for help. If there are their plainclothes accomplices nearby, you will be in trouble if you run into them."
"Yes!" When Eri Masuo heard the plan, she nodded solemnly.
She also knew that she could not help if she stayed, and thought that what Jiang Xia said made sense, so she did not delay any longer. She followed the direction Jiang Xia pointed out, gently opened the door, and tiptoed away.
Before going downstairs, she took one last look at him. The young detective stood in the shadow by the door and nodded slightly at her. There seemed to be a bit of determination and sadness between his brows. He looked like a hero who voluntarily stayed in the enemy's nest.
Masuo Eri wiped away the tears of emotion from the corners of her eyes and without further ado, she hurried downstairs, ready to rush to a crowded place nearby and borrow a phone to call the police as quickly as possible.
…
As she went downstairs, a dark cloud-walking snow cat silently jumped out of the door and followed her.
The one using the cat vest this time is the Ganfanmao Benmao.
Although its thinking ability cannot be compared with that of a human, the cat still firmly remembered what Jiang Xia had just told him - if Masu Oeki really encountered the accomplices of the robbers, the cat would be responsible for turning into a leopard in a place where no one could see it, suppressing the murderous aura when no one was paying attention, and waiting for Jiang Xia to come and knock her down.
…
After the man and the cat left.
Jiang Xia stood up and looked to the other side with a little anticipation, smelling the aroma of the chicken roll that was still clear through the walls.
But before that...
There is another hostage next door.
Jiang Xia had never met Yamabe Koichi, so he was not very clear about the policeman's habits. If he was another big mouth who loved publicity, it would be best not to be seen by him when knocking the murderous aura... In short, this possible witness should be sent away first.
...Fortunately, with Masuo Eri here, this isn't a big deal.
…
The room where Yamabe Koichi was imprisoned had its windows tightly sealed and the room was a bit cold.
