Chapter 23: Extermination Order

(September 27) countdown day 94

Things didn't go well today.

Brother Niu pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and sighed rarely.

In the early hours of the morning, he sneaked into the Wansheng Building and did not find Yao Xiaofei's mobile phone and backpack thrown in the trash. After obtaining the address left to him by the cleaner, at 2:15 a.m. he knocked on the door of the cleaner's location in the Sunshine Complex.

On the way here, he calculated that it was impossible for him to really pay 10,000 yuan to buy back the mobile phone left by Yao Xiaofei, not because he was heartbroken for money, but because he was worried about extraneous branches.

"There is one kind of talent in the world that is truly safe, and that is the dead!"

Similar to this sentence, he said to Yao Xiaofei, so Yao Xiaofei died yesterday. He plans to say the same to the cleaner who may have learned the phone's secret.

"Where's the money?"

The door was opened, and a middle-aged woman with broad shoulders and a fat body blocked the door.

"Go in and say."

He raised his handbag and signaled that the money had been brought.

"Apple, brand new, you won't lose 10,000."

She let him into the living room and sat on the couch with the cushions on either side of her butt up.

He didn't respond to her, closed the door, coughed softly, and with the help of the cough, quickly locked the door.

"You count carefully."

He glanced at the closed windows and curtains, took out 10,000 cash from his handbag, deliberately spread it out, and sprinkled it on the coffee table.

She didn't even look at him, gathered the money, and began to count them one by one.

He walked around her back, pulled the dagger out of his handbag, and slashed hard at her neck with a flash of cold light.

Blood gushed out. Shocked, she subconsciously grabbed his right hand holding the dagger.

He tried to pull his right hand out, but couldn't. He pulled back, the dagger still sunk into her neck, pulling the knife even wider. Her body was pulled backwards, overpowering the couch, and in the process of falling on her back, her feet were brought to the coffee table, which toppled over. Her whole body twitched, but she grabbed his hand firmly.

Annoyed, he grabbed the ashtray that had fallen to the ground with his left hand and slammed it her face, and again, and again.

She was dead, her face smashed into a pancake, her whole body no longer twitching, without a trace of breath, and the hand that grabbed him was stiff and bent, and clasped to his right wrist.

He underestimated the strength of this dying woman, and dragged her fat body for a while, but still couldn't pull out his hand. He was so angry that he broke her fingers little by little, held them, and slammed them hard in the opposite direction, and with a crisp sound, her index and middle fingers were disconnected in unison.

He calmed down, picked up Yao Xiaofei's mobile phone before his death, and found the expected Yao Xiaofei's backpack from the bedroom. When the hidden danger was finally removed, he retreated to the living room, carefully cleaned up the crime scene, and then calmly left.

At this moment, he sat on a chair in a dark room and looked at the clues left by Yao Xiaofei in the notebook on his mobile phone: there was a third person at the scene of the murder in the Yuebanwan apartment, a middle-aged man with glasses, about 170 tall, I jumped off the building to commit suicide because I was coerced by this man, and he threatened my sister's life. Behind the text, there is also a strange string of Arabic numerals.

He guessed correctly, on the night of the murder in the Yuebanwan apartment, the ghost standing in the apartment building opposite was Yao Xiaofei, and at the moment of lightning and thunder, she really saw herself - "a middle-aged man with glasses, about 170 tall". But now he has nothing to worry about, the only witness, Yao Xiaofei, is dead, and judging by her painstaking actions to leave the clues on her phone, he played a role in the threats he sent to her, and she did not dare to tell the police directly about the clues. The phone is right in front of him, and he is the only one left in the world who knows the secret. Although he didn't know the Arabic numerals at the end of the text, there was no need to worry, the string of numbers that only he knew was worthless, even if it was a big secret.

He lit a cigarette and leaned back comfortably in his chair as his phone rang at an inopportune time. It was the person he sent to Q City to carry out the kidnapping mission called, and Yao Xiaoyi disappeared completely.

Listening to his subordinates trembling and narrating the whole process of searching for Yao Xiaoyi, he shouted that it was impossible.

After receiving his order to "see people in death and corpses in life", his men returned to the cave with flashlights and ropes to search for Yao Xiaoyi's whereabouts again. They used a rope to go down to the cave 20 meters away from the entrance of the cave, and searched forward with the help of a flashlight, first found blood stains on a stone, and then found the rope that bound Yao Xiaoyi, and understood that Yao Xiaoyi ran away after grinding the rope. With the help of flashlights, it took them more than 10 hours to chase along the traces left by Yao Xiaoyi to the edge of a cliff, and found a mud hole dug out by Yao Xiaoyi, and outside the entrance of the cave was a 100-meter-high cliff, Yao Xiaoyi disappeared.

Brother Niu couldn't believe that a young girl, in a cave where she couldn't see her fingers, fled for more than two days and two nights without any food. What's more, she doesn't even have a basic lighting tool like a mobile phone. He even suspected that his men had deliberately hidden something in order to escape the punishment he had imposed on them.

Then they found a rope, the men said, connected one by one with strips of cloth torn from their clothes, wet with water, tied to a rock at one end and hanging from the bottom of the cliff, the lower end of which was thirty or forty meters above the water at the cliff. Presumably, Yao Xiaoyi slid into the air through the rope and jumped into the water to escape. They didn't dare to follow the rope down the trail, but returned to the cave entrance along the way.

Brother Niu was shocked again, and immediately understood that his subordinates should not have lied to him, and from Yao Xiaoyi's escape, he vaguely saw Yao Xiaofei's shadow. Thinking of a series of methods such as Yao Xiaofei creating the illusion that there are people in the room, using a turntable to successfully get rid of three tracking vehicles, and sinking the car into a pool in a mountain forest to fake the suicide scene, Yao Xiaoyi is not inferior in comparison, and the two sisters are also calm and thoughtful.

This made Brother Niu's heart that he had just let go of because of Yao Xiaofei's death hang again.

Men reported that after returning to the city from the cave, they immediately infiltrated Yao Xiaoyi's rented room in an apartment building in Q City, and found that Yao Xiaoyi had just fled. They rushed downstairs and tracked all the way, until they were near a mobile phone ** store, and they completely lost Yao Xiaoyi's trace.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Brother Niu immediately issued a new order: continue to search for Yao Xiaoyi, make every effort to prevent her from returning to City C, and kill her immediately at any time.
