Chapter 33: Separate Operations
"Finally all these fools are tied up, and I hope they wake up and think they have met a thief who stole Western paintings......
Morris wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he laid the bundled hostages flat on the floor one by one. Ms. Furuzawa stood aside, constantly thinking about how she could leave the Yubu Villa with the ruined painting "Love Letter".
At this moment, although the heavy rain outside is a little lighter, a dangerous shooter is hiding in the shadows. The cars that were able to get down the hill quickly were all burned by the other party. If you rush out rashly, you will only become a living target for that murderer.
"Is there really no way?"
Ms. Furuzawa thought to herself.
The situation downstairs was completely seen by Lin Xiu, who was hiding upstairs. He knew that once the other party found out that he hadn't drunk black tea and was stunned, the only way waiting for him was to be killed. And the reason why the other party didn't take action just now was completely because he was worried about himself and Yuan Zhizhu's identity - the police.
It took so much effort to make such a painting that had already been destroyed? Lin Xiuyi couldn't understand this kind of behavior. She really didn't understand what else about the painting was worthy of the two guys' obsession other than its mystery.
However, there is one thing that Lin Xiuyi can be sure of, that is, the shooter who is hidden in the shadows is currently the biggest obstacle in front of Gu Ze and Morris!
"Male and female thieves? So...... What about the archer who kills with a bow and arrow?"
Lin Xiuyi silently had an idea in his heart, but his heart was still full of doubts. He hid his body behind the wall, and then made a retreat gesture to Gen Zhizhu behind him. Yuan Zhizhu nodded, and then cautiously returned to the original house with Lin Xiuyi. The hearts of the two of them relaxed a little.
"What are we going to do now?"
Yuan Zhizhu asked in a whisper in Lin Xiuyi's ear.
"Gotta find a way to get those hostages out first. Also, we had to find a way to call the police. ”
Lin Xiuyi said without hesitation. Although the servants who work here will be back early tomorrow morning, the number of servants is limited, and I am afraid that this place will have already become a trap for entering and not leaving. If those gangsters had brought those servants under control, it would have been a long time before anyone would find out about the situation.
"So, you mean we're going to split heads?"
Yuan Zhizhu asked Lin Xiuyi with some uncertainty, and Lin Xiuyi nodded solemnly. Yuan Zhizhu thought for a moment, and felt that if Lin Xiuyi went out to find the source of interference, it would be purely for the archer to be a live target, so he simply volunteered to say to Lin Xiuyi:
"Leave it to me to find the source of interference, you stay here and see if you can find a chance to wake up those hostages, and then wait for the opportunity to untie the ropes from them. ”
Hearing Yuan Zhizhu's arrangement, Lin Xiu nodded happily, although it was very dangerous to stay in the house, but at present, it seemed that the unknown archer looked more cruel. Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but think of the situation at that time. In my memory, it seems that Shibata Butler was standing behind Koichi Asai at that time, could it be that the archer was actually going to shoot Koichi Asai, the owner of Yuki Mountain Villa?
When Lin Xiuyi was still thinking about it, he saw that Yuan Zhizhu had actually begun to act. I saw him open the window of the room lightly, and then quickly climbed the window. He poked his head out, cautiously surveyed the window, then grabbed the eaves with both hands and walked along the protruding part of the building's façade to the drain in the distance.
Lin Xiu waited until Yuan Zhizhu stretched out his hand to hook the drainage pipe not far away, and then closed the window again. He slipped out of the room with his hands and feet, and then crawled to Koichi Asai's study not far away. No matter what his fighting skills were, Lin Xiuyi felt that he should always find something to defend himself!
The last time he visited Yuki Villa with Gen Zhizhu, Lin Xiuyi had seen the "Love Letter" in Asai Koichi's study, so Lin Xiuyi vaguely remembered what furnishings were in Asai Koichi's study.
Lin Xiuyi gently pushed open the door, and then walked into the room cautiously with his side turned sideways. Then he closed the door again.
Lin Xiuyi didn't dare to turn on the lights, so he could only use the faint light of his mobile phone to find the furnishings in the house. Soon, he found a silver colored paper knife in Koichi Asai's drawer. Lin Xiu thought about it for a while, and felt that this thing was still quite useful for cutting ropes, he looked at the surrounding situation again, and after finding that there was nothing worth taking away, he simply left here.
Downstairs in the living room, two burglars disguised as guests and art directors are dragging bundled hostages into a small room. Lin Xiuyi naturally couldn't go down the stairs to the first floor. He thought about it for a moment, and thought that maybe it would be a good idea to slip down the drain like a motoji bamboo. So he turned to his side and walked into the nearest room. Then he opened the window, let his body slowly climb over the windowsill, and then followed the example of Yuan Zhizhu to support his body, and tried to move towards the drainage pipe not far away.
Lin Xiuyi raised his head hard, trying to avoid looking down at himself. Although the rain outside was already a lot lighter at this time, the slippery outer edge of the wall made Lin Xiuyi feel a burst of danger, Lin Xiuyi thought about going back the same way several times, but when he thought that he could only be trapped on the second floor after going back, and he couldn't do anything, he immediately dispelled this idea.
Seeing that his action was about to succeed, Lin Xiuyi put down his right hand and tried to hook the drainage pipe in the distance. But at this moment, his feet suddenly slipped, and then his body suddenly lost its support.
Lin Xiuyi secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but the body that had lost control was helpless at all, just when Lin Xiuyi thought that he would definitely be smashed to pieces this time, suddenly he felt that his body was bounced by something soft, and then a sound of fabric tearing came, which immediately made Lin Xiuyi unload most of the falling kinetic energy on his body.
"Smack!"
Lin Xiuyi made a large splash as he fell to the ground, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. He stood up despite the pain, and hurriedly struggled to get up from the ground, and then he looked up and looked at the place where he had just fallen, a canopy fixed to the window had been broken by him, and if it weren't for this canopy, he would have to be slaughtered by others now.
"I haven't been unlucky yet!"
Lin Xiuyi sighed and hurriedly left here.
