Chapter Eighty-Nine: Besieged
Si Huayue didn't rush to reach out and pick up the jar, but took a step back and bowed down, imagining that it was really Li Qinghe's ashes.
After the salute, she straightened up, walked over to the jar, and pointed her watch at the jar to examine it carefully.
Unless it is not in the right place, this jar is ordinary like a pickle jar, crystal white throughout, without any decoration or pattern, covered with a thin layer of floating dust, and no offerings are placed on the front desk that sticks out.
There was a black-and-white photo inlaid on the jar, which looked like the same person as the photo Zhong Anna sent on Si Huayue's phone.
The year of birth and death and the name marked on the tank are correct, if Si Huayue hadn't made that phone call with Zhong Anna before she came, she probably believed Zhong Annie's words.
Take off the backpack, take out the foam bag that you have prepared in advance, gently remove the jar from the lattice of the urn, and put it in the bag to tie it up firmly.
After everything was packed up and the backpack was put back on his back, Si Huayue got up and prepared to go out, remembering the suspicious urn he had just seen.
Back in front of the second row of urns, she dragged the jar out of the rack and opened the lid.
Empty.
Can you see that there are traces of ashes stored inside, but the ashes are missing?
There is enough space in the backpack to hold another can, but there is no extra foam bag, so it is easy to break when you go.
After thinking about it, Si Huayue took out a sealed bag from his waist bag, flipped the bag over and put it on his fingers, reached into the jar and wiped the ashes on the jar to avoid the remaining ashes, and then put the jar back in its original position.
After scanning the room, finding nothing suspicious, he did not linger any longer, and quickly left the gloomy room.
Wu Song, who was in charge of letting go of the wind outside the house, saw Si Huayue come out safely, flashed in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Found it?"
Si Huayue hummed and locked the door as it was.
Wu Song then said to her: "There is a voice in that tower, like someone is inside. ”
Si Huayue was stunned for a moment, someone thought of the empty urn just now, and she intuitively felt that the person in the tower should be the one who stole the ashes.
It was most likely the one who came in through the tunnel before them.
However, if they entered the temple, how could the Madahar brothers, who were hiding in the shadows, not remind her and Wu Song?
Probably not, the eyes of the two brothers seem to have magnifying glass functions, especially at night, even a mouse can see clearly, let alone a person with such a big target.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Si Huayue asked in a low voice.
"The mission has been completed, go back!" Wu Song only listened to Si Wenjun's instructions.
His main task tonight is to assist Si Huayue in stealing the ashes, and then protect her to evacuate safely, without the additional task of catching the thief.
Si Huayue groaned slightly, and also felt that more things were better than less, and now that the soldiers didn't find out, they quickly accepted it.
Just as he was about to lift his feet and walk to the corridor behind the house, there was a rapid triple blow from the headset.
The situation is critical!
No matter how high Si Huayue's martial arts are, no matter how much social experience he has, and how clever his reaction is, his actual combat experience is not as rich as that of the Ma Daha brothers and Wu Song.
A task like today's, she had never touched before.
Before she was imprisoned, she was just a chivalrous woman who fought unevenly in society, and the social people she came into contact with were nothing more than gangsters like the culture at that time.
During his ten years in prison, under the control of the prison guards, at most, he secretly had a small fight with the prisoners who had a holiday.
So, when she heard the triple hit, the first thing that came to her mind was to look for the source of the danger, not to avoid it.
Wu Song was different, almost synchronized with the third percussion, and he dragged Si Huayue to the corner of the wall, and tightly protected her head with his body.
Poof, poof, poof-
Three bullets burst out of the darkness.
A shot hit the position where Si Huayue and Wu Songgang were standing, and the bullet shot into the ground, bursting into a cloud of rain and mist.
The second bullet hit Wu Song's shoulder blades.
Wu Song let out a muffled snort, and under the strong force of the bullet, his body was almost close to Si Huayue, and the back of Si Huayue's head slammed against the wall, causing her to gasp in pain.
The third shot pierced the windowpanes of the tower, and there was a crunch in the tower, like the sound of porcelain breaking.
The sound was not too loud, and with the sound of rain, it was blown away by the wind and disappeared into the air, and did not attract the attention of the patrolmen.
Can be immediately followed.
Ahh
There was a high-pitched roar from the tower, a sound that carried an unspeakable pain through the tower and swirled through the columbarium.
Bang, bang, bang, bang-
The searchlights installed in the four corners of the columbarium suddenly lit up, and the entire columbarium instantly brightened as day, and the drizzle rolled in the light, like a layer of sarongs floating between heaven and earth.
The siren also sounded at the same time, resounding over the entire Canglin Temple.
Dense footsteps approached quickly, and the click of the loading could be heard clearly.
A wolf howl came from the back door, and with the end of the howl, the laughing wolf rushed to Si Huayue's side, whining and looking at Si Huayue, as if to tell her that there was an enemy situation at the back door, waiting for her to give an order.
"Are you alright?" asked Wu Song.
"It's okay, retreat!" Wu Song's European face was already whiter than that of Shen Guoren, and at this moment it looked more and more bloodless and transparent.
At this time, the voice of the motor came from the headset: "There is a dog hole in the direction of two o'clock, evacuate from there immediately!"
The two of them were wolves and cats, trying to run in the dark areas where the light could not be reached.
They had to dodge both the snipers in the shadows and the GIs who had already stormed the columbarium compound.
The laughing wolf had already understood the direction in which Si Huayue was running, and it ran to the entrance of the cave at a very fast speed, and went out first to release the wind for Si Huayue.
The holly inside and outside the cave did a good job of bunkering for them.
Wu Song pulled Si Huayue and asked her not to rush out first.
"Why are there snipers?" he whispered to the motor in the headset.
Judging by the range of the sniper just now, it was definitely not someone from the military.
The night clothes he and Si Huayue wore were bulletproof, but for the convenience of movement and not affecting the hearing and hearing, their heads were directly exposed to the air.
It's not like the killer or thief in the TV movie, so tightly wrapped that only two eyes are exposed.
That bullet wanted to explode Si Huayue's head, what does this mean?
It shows that the person either knows that the clothes on Si Huayue's body are bulletproof, or he just wants to kill him with one blow.
He had dealt with people in the military, and unless they were on the battlefield where they had a clear position between friend and foe, they would first consider incapacitating the opponent and encountering armed resistance before they would be killed.
And the other two bullets fired by the sniper, one was aimed at Wu Song, and the other was headed straight for the columbarium.
The people in the tower were clearly not in line with them.
Either there are two or more groups of people in the tower.
"The sniper has been killed. The sound of the motor was so small that it was almost drowned out by the footsteps of the GIs outside.
Hidden in the shadows, he usually doesn't make any noise unless he has to. So, he didn't give any explanation for this mistake.
At this time, Maha's voice also came from the headset, it was very low, but it could be heard that he was not in the same place as the motor.
"The sniper arrived before us, it was very well hidden, and the bullet that went into the tower was because I spotted him and got it by mistake during a scuffle with him. ”
"Since we made a bit of a stir just now, in order to distract the military snipers, I had to evacuate first and meet you at the bottom of the mountain. ”
"The military has set up such a big battle tonight, and the main target is not us, but the people in the tower. ”
Maha said: "The tunnel cannot be walked, the military has already surrounded and blocked it, and you can only find a way to get out through the main gate, or climb up the hill and go down the other side." ”
If you walk through the main entrance, you will now have to walk through the bamboo forest that once existed.
Si Huayue raised his body slightly and glanced in the direction of the bamboo forest, where there were already a circle of soldiers.
The entire columbarium has been surrounded by soldiers, and there are soldiers in the distance.
They can think that such weather is conducive to action, and the military people will naturally also think that looking at the current situation, people have been prepared for a long time.
It's no wonder that the entry was so smooth, this is the deliberate release of water by the soldiers, inviting them to enter the urn and catch it all!
Now it's hard to get out of this dog hole, let alone walking to the main entrance.
"Quick, go back to the back of the bungalow just now, Master Kongjian is there to pick you up!"
The excited and urgent sound of the motor came from the headset.
