You Mingxu also believed that they would listen to him.
She thought about it calmly. The reinforcements would arrive soon. Mingtao would be put on the wanted list and would be caught sooner or later. So she made a decision: "Wait a little longer. As long as the car doesn't drive out, we'll be caught in the trap."
Sure enough, the support arrived quickly. Several police cars drove over from the road beside the lake. The flashing police lights made the lakeside seem to be dyed with strange lights.
Everyone gathered together.
Soon, a police car found traces of the car deep in the dense forest near the lake. Graffiti drove over immediately.
Several police cars were parked next to a small hill near the lake. It was pitch dark all around, and the sky was a deep, dark blue.
The black car was also parked at the foot of the hill.
In the dark night, everyone got off the bus. Xu Mengshan and several others approached with guns and soon discovered that the car was empty.
You Mingxu looked up and saw that the hill was only about twenty meters high, shaded by trees. There was a series of stone steps leading up to it, and he could vaguely see the roof of the hill.
It turns out there is a house upstairs. In a place like this, it is difficult to notice it even if you drive past the lake. It feels quite isolated from the world.
"Let's go up and take a look." You Mingxu said.
She walked in the front with Xu Mengshan and two policemen, followed by Yin Feng, and then several more policemen. Graffiti and Champion stayed in the car. She felt more at ease with this arrangement.
They climbed up the steps and saw a gray wooden house that looked quite old. There is a high wire fence around it and surveillance cameras are installed. However, at this time, the small fence door on the barbed wire was ajar.
They walked into the yard and found that the door was also half-open and it was pitch dark inside.
Xu Mengshan made a gesture and several policemen dispersed to both sides. They quickly checked the front and back of the house and found nothing unusual.
Everyone gathered at the door again.
You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan exchanged glances, and Xu Mengshan raised his voice and asked, "Is anyone home? Is anyone home?"
No one responded, there was dead silence.
You Mingxu: "Go in!"
She and Xu Mengshan were the first to enter with guns, and the light of several flashlights illuminated the house brightly. As soon as Xu Mengshan entered the room, he felt around on the wall for a while and found the light switch. He pressed it but found that it didn't light up.
Never mind for now.
First, there is a living room of about 20 square meters, with a black sofa, table, chairs, and a refrigerator. There are not many things in it, but it does look homely. You Mingxu thought: Could this be Mingtao's other place of residence? But looking at the things in the house, they are quite old. And does Mingtao have the ability to build such a house by the lake?
The thought only flashed through their minds as they checked the living room and found nothing unusual. There was also a bedroom with a bed and a desk, but no clothes or daily necessities.
"There are stairs here!" a policeman shouted.
You Mingxu and others rushed over immediately and shone their flashlights. Sure enough, they saw a dark staircase in the corner of the living room, leading directly down.
You Mingxu's heart trembled. Just as she was about to lead her people down, Yin Feng came up behind her without her knowing, pressed her shoulder, and said, "Be careful."
"Okay." You Mingxu and several colleagues walked down slowly.
There are about 20 steps in the staircase. When you go down, there are bare concrete walls everywhere, which is stuffy and without ventilation. A passage extends forward.
Everyone walked forward slowly.
It can be seen that the cement wall is quite old. There are occasional cobwebs on the ceiling, and there is a smell of dust. It seems that it has not seen sunlight for a long time and has not been properly cleaned for a long time.
The passage was only a dozen meters long and soon reached the end, where a larger stone chamber appeared in front of us. A policeman walking in front suddenly screamed "Ah!" and everyone was startled. He shone his flashlight on the ground, and everyone saw that there was a person lying on the ground.
The man was wearing a black windbreaker and a baseball cap, and his body was curled up tightly. When You Mingxu saw the figure and attire, his heart skipped a beat. Xu Mengshan shone the flashlight directly on the man's face, which was fair and handsome, with an abnormal flush of color. Who else could it be but Mingtao?
Xu Mengshan reacted quickly, not caring about anything else. He pressed the artery on his neck and sniffed his breath. He said blankly, "Dead! It looks like cyanide poisoning. He died not long ago."
Everyone looked at each other. They chased all the way here just to catch this apprentice killer. But when he ran to such a secluded house, he was poisoned to death. Do you know that you have nowhere to go?
Or was it someone else who did it?
You Mingxu suppressed his suspicion and ordered, "Notify the bureau immediately and check if there is anything strange in this room."
"yes!"
Everyone scattered and searched in this gloomy basement. You Mingxu also raised his flashlight and shone it around. However, the first second the light shone past her, she was startled - on the opposite wall, there was a row of blood-stained knives hanging, boning knives, daggers, saws... as well as ropes, electric drills, and whips. It adds a bloody and spooky feel to this basement.
You Mingxu suddenly thought of the butcher's slaughter room, and a chill ran through his heart. Could it be that this place is not only Mingtao's residence, but also somewhere else? The Punisher...
She shone her flashlight along the wall slowly and saw a single bed against the wall with an unmade quilt and a pair of slippers on the floor next to the bed. Then turning the corner, there is a wardrobe. Through the gap in the wardrobe, you can see things hanging inside - who lives here?
Her intuition told her that it was not Ming Tao.
However, as her light continued to move to the side, she saw an old wooden desk with a person lying on it. You Mingxu only felt as if her heart was struck by something, but the figure was so familiar that she almost blurted out: Yin Feng...
wrong!
The string in her mind tightened. Wasn’t Yin Feng following behind them?
Suddenly, a bone-chilling, terrifying chill began to climb up her spine. She calmed herself down, and the light of the flashlight moved back, returning to the desk and the person. The man was wearing a black sweater, casual trousers, had short black hair and a well-defined jawline. Just the back of Duanduan made her feel extremely familiar again. She saw dried blood on the man's wrists and the iron chains hanging on his ankles. The other end of the chain extended from under the table to the corner of the wall, and she didn't know where it would extend to.
Others also noticed the person in the room, and were all startled, slowly surrounding him.
You Mingxu's temples were throbbing and he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. She took a step to the side so that she could see more than just the outline of the man's figure.
The light in her hand fell on the face of the man who was lying on his side, half buried in his arms.
You Mingxu was stunned.
