Chapter 51: The Locust Tree

This matter will be handled by Zheng Yi with full authority, and I can only obediently go home and wait for news from Li He.

I was used to the life of Li He and me, and I was a little uncomfortable when I got home on the first day.

Bored, I lay in bed and looked at the ceiling, and before I knew it, I fell into a dream.

In the blink of an eye, the bright light of the sun will wake me up, and looking at the spam text messages on my phone, my life seems to have gone back to the past overnight.

Everything was ready to return to the police station, Zheng Yi yawned and was about to go out.

"How's yesterday's case going?"

"You came, and it took a long time to find out that the suspect had died a week ago, and the cause of death was illness, and this case is over."

"I see, it's hard work."

Zheng Yi waved his hand past me, and I checked the equipment in the research room.

Just such a week, I instantly began to get a little tired, Su Luo didn't call me or send me any more messages in the past few days, everything in the world is full of peace.

……

"Slow down, what's going on."

When I arrived at the door of the police station early in the morning, I was bumped into by a colleague holding a pile of folders, and all the papers were scattered on the ground.

When I asked, my colleague said in a very fast tone: "There was another disappearance last night, and everyone was busy early in the morning. ”

"How's it going?"

"I still don't have a clue, I'm not just going to take these cases in."

"Li Sheng, you came just in time, I have something to look for you."

Zheng Yi walked up to me at the other end of the corridor, gave the documents to my colleague, and walked forward.

"I already know what happened last night."

"Well, that's not what I'm talking about."

Zheng Yi looked left and right and took out a document from his arms and said, "I just received a deployment order from my superiors, do you know about this matter?" Or when you saw Su Luo these few times, did she say anything to you? ”

"No, why so suddenly."

As one of the insiders, I certainly have to keep my mouth shut.

Zheng Yi sighed and put away the documents.

I don't know how Li He is doing, I haven't received any news so far, and I'm starting to be a little worried.

As soon as I walked into the research room, I received a call from Su Luo, "We have found the locust tree you mentioned, and now as long as we can find the head of the headless horseman, maybe we can prove that what the goddess said is right." ”

"Didn't it ...... last time"

"Last time it was just a guess, this time we need to confirm."

"Okay, where are we going to meet that night?"

"At ten o'clock in the evening, at the intersection five hundred meters east of the entrance of your police station, where will we be waiting for you, remember to pay attention to the crowd when you come out."

I remembered the time, and I was ready in the afternoon, but the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and when I saw that the end of work was approaching, Zheng Yi appeared in front of me again.

Looking at the thick stack of papers in his hand, I knew I might not be able to go tonight.

"You haven't left yet, it just so happens that the police station is understaffed, you can help me take a look at these missing persons."

I tried to make excuses, but I didn't get away.

Sitting in my chair, I flipped through as fast as I could, and I was even more anxious when I saw that the time was near.

"Team Zheng, I just received a call from the police, a woman has been kidnapped in Hanyang Apartment!"

When I heard that, I saw hope.

"Li Sheng, then I'll trouble you for the rest, I'll go first."

I nodded my head in agreement, and as I watched him leave in a hurry, I quickly changed my clothes.

Walking out and looking at the empty police station, I ran towards the place Su Luo said.

Su Luo, who was not far away, was waiting for me on the side of the road, I hurriedly ran over, got in the car, and saw that I had gone to the location.

"After arriving in a while, you are among us, so that we can protect you, there are several problems with our equipment, where you see something unclean, remember to alert us at the first time."

I instantly became vigilant, and the car kept moving forward, and when I arrived at my destination, it was just the early hours of the morning.

When I got out of the car, I saw the villa, and I didn't notice anything unusual here during the day, but at night, I looked at it as if it was shrouded in a layer of black clouds, which was both depressing and scared.

Everyone followed Su Luo's command and walked towards the locust tree.

Everyone was cautious, and I stood in the middle as a gust of wind blew, and all the trees around me made a rustling sound.

"There are still ten meters left, the target is locked, everyone is ready."

With Su Luo's order, everyone walked forward with their equipment and began to search for the headless horseman's head under the tree.

As time passed, everyone became negative from the initial tension.

Even Su Luo felt that there was something wrong with this information, "Let's rest for five minutes, and then continue to search." ”

I sat down on the ground, leaning against the locust tree, and my body felt paralyzed.

The hand rested on the cold earth, cushioned by a stone.

"Don't move!"

In the darkness, I was numb with a powerful sound.

Su Luo took the flashlight and shone it on me, and the other person took my hand away and slowly took out a head from the dirt.

"Found it, finally found it."

There was a lot of excitement on everyone's faces, but when the excitement was more important than the confirmation, I came in handy at this moment.

In the dim light, carefully discern the time of the skull.

"That's right, this is it, we really found it."

"Great, according to the superiors, you only need to cremate this head, and the Headless Horseman will disappear completely!"

Amid the cheers, we slowly left the place and went to the place where Su Luo had been connected, and the cremation began.

Just halfway through, Zheng Yi called.

"What about you? Now no matter where you are, hurry up and come to Hanyang Apartment! ”

The hesitation of Zheng Yi's voice was too loud, and Su Luo could already hear it clearly.

"It's okay, we'll settle the rest of the matter, you go back quickly, and Li He will be back soon."

On this day, Su Luo was the only one who told me a good news.

When I first arrived at the Hanyang apartment, it was already one o'clock in the evening, but it was surrounded by all the people.

I walked through the crowd to Zheng Yi's side and asked, "How is it now?" ”

"You're finally here, have you had any psychological counseling or something, we've talked to the gangster for a long time, but he just won't let go."

"On which floor?"

"I'll take you up."

As he spoke, he came to the door of the kidnapping, and the outside was surrounded by the police.

I knocked on the door and tried to communicate with the man, "Hello, I would like to know what your request is?" ”

"Let everyone go, I won't hurt the hostages, and then you follow me downstairs."

After discussing with Zheng Yi, we decided to do what the gangsters said.

It took us an hour to clean up the community, and according to the gangsters, they are already in a period of exhaustion.

All the police are already outside the neighborhood and fully prepared at every intersection.

After receiving the order, I tried to communicate with the gangsters again.

"We've done what you say, can you release the hostages now?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the person inside twisted the doorknob and came out and looked at me cautiously, as if he was probing the situation around me by observing my expression.

"You take out your phone and take a picture of both sides to show me."

I did as he was told, and when I made sure there was no one at the door, the man opened the door.

"I need to make sure the hostages are alive."

The man pulled me in and walked to the bedroom door, where he had knocked me unconscious by the bed.

"The people at the door have been cleaned up?"

"We've evacuated as you said, do you know this woman?"

"I don't know."

The man looked down from the window, and I saw that he had now let his guard down, trying to ask the reason and try to find more time.

"Then why did you kidnap her?"

"I was just stealing, who would have known that she had an alarm system in her house."

"Then you can choose to escape, wouldn't it be easy to be exposed if you stay?"

"You're a little too much of a problem!"

I've touched the man's bottom line, and it's time to relent.

"Can we leave now, then?"

The man put on a mask and gloves, wiped all my fingerprints with a towel, then grabbed my neck and walked out the door.
