Chapter 124: A Tragic Sacrifice

The squad leader is like a cat that catches prey at night, although the wounds on his body greatly affect his normal movements, but with willpower, the squad leader endures.

He quickly dealt with the three of them, their positions were difficult to communicate with each other, and then the advantage of the terrain, the team leader launched a surprise attack from the beams of the house, and quickly subdued the three in three dark spaces.

He tied the three of them together, and the exhaustion of his body was almost at its peak, and there was hardly any place in his body to exert his strength. He squatted down, and all three of them were carrying single-shot rifles, the caliber was not small, and the method was the same, opening an eye from the inside of the door, and playing with a cold gun.

The squad leader pushed open the door, and he was going to face the enemy head-on with his brother.

The old wooden door creaked, and the team leader let out a heavy breath, and opened the door with all his strength, leaving him speechless from the sight in front of him.

The whole scene seemed to freeze, everyone's actions were sealed for a moment, and he walked slowly, the only difference was that the gangsters who confronted them not long ago had disappeared without a trace at this time.

The team leader turned his head to look at the open doorway and sighed, presumably they had escaped from here.

He was too shocked to speak. He took a slight step, a sound coming from the wooden floor, the whole house was undoubtedly once a church, but it had probably been abandoned for too long, and it had become an abandoned hut.

The atmosphere that was supposed to be blessed under the faith was disturbed by the flames of war and filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and four policemen lay down next to the squad leader, and when they were lifted up, their breathing had stopped.

Not far away, the remaining six people pointed their guns at the gate, but the firepower they fought for seemed to be insufficient, and their bravery could only be locked at this moment, and no one had the strength to make other moves.

When the squad leader approached the six people, only one of them could still raise his head, his pupils were splashed with blood, and through the blood, his voice trembled slightly when he saw his squad leader.

"Report, report to the captain." The policeman was surrounded by five people whose consciousness had been withdrawn from his body, and the squad leader did not know if they were still alive, but the heaviness weighed down on him.

"Three hostages on the first floor, all of them are secured!" He held the gun tightly in his hand, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere and did not disperse, and the bullet marks spread all over his body.

"Enemy annihilation mission......" He sniffled, and his whole body trembled. The mission to annihilate the enemy failed, nine gangsters were killed and wounded, three were wounded, and the rest fled. ”

Tears welled up in his eyes, washed the blood from his pupils, and then began to sob.

The team leader was silent and silent, if he had to speak, his tone at this time could only be miserable. He crouched down and patted the policeman in front of him on the shoulder, his face pale.

"Good work, comrade." That's what he said.

"Captain...... They. The policeman wiped away his tears, looked back at the five injured colleagues around him, and then looked at the four people lying in a pool of blood in the distance, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.

Knowing that there was no time to sink into sadness, the squad leader took out his pager and got in touch with the captain of the internal guard.

"Casualties...... Nine people. "The squad leader reported truthfully, and when he reported the number, he struggled for a long time before he could say the number.

He could almost hear the captain of the guard taking a cool breath on the other side of the phone.

"You can't be blamed for this, we will immediately notify the comrades who rescued you to come to you."

"Thank you." The squad leader thought about it and made up

Chong said: "There are nine hostages, ensure that it is completed." ”

"Well done." The captain of the internal guard hesitated for a moment and asked, "How are you, are you injured?" ”

The team leader looked at his abdomen, and then looked at the mess and even corpses everywhere he looked, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's okay, it's a small problem." ”

The team leader hung up the phone, his eyes a little glazed.

"Check the hostages first." He gave the order. Although at this time, there were only two members of the criminal police team left, including himself, and his own injury was not a "minor problem".

He sighed, and the room was in shambles, full of traces of the battle he had just had, bullet holes, and gunsmoke. He was like falling into a dream, and the entire ten-person rescue team was in a short period of time, but in a short period of time, only two remained.

At this time, I remembered the squad leader of the old criminal police and decided to start an investigation.

"Three?" The team leader brought the six hostages upstairs downstairs, the six of them were in a trance, obviously under the influence of hallucinogens, and had no autonomy, while the other three were huddled in a dark corner, their bodies trembling.

The team leader noticed something, and after he untied the three of them, he began to investigate the scene.

"Look." He summoned another member of the team, who had only suffered minor injuries, to his side, and the two of them focused on the place where the hostages had been held at the beginning, and when they released everyone's ropes, they discovered that one of the imps looked to have a longer rope than the others.

"What's going on?" The squad leader was suspicious, but the other policeman was unimpressed.

"Maybe it's a temporary rope?"

The team leader didn't think so, and the old criminal policeman's master had also warned him that the more casual the details, the closer they were to the truth. He found the ropes that the others were holding back, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"This kind of noose should be woven by the people in the town themselves, and most of the lengths are the same." The team leader said. "But this one is unusual, it's just too long."

"Hey, little ghost." The policeman simply gave up thinking, grabbed a child, squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

He rested the long rope on both hands and showed it to the child.

But obviously, this policeman underestimated the medicinal properties of hallucinogens, not to mention that this little ghost can't communicate normally, even if he can, what can this kid remember?

"Nonsense." The team leader snatched the rope, and as soon as he touched it, he suddenly felt something abnormal.

"What is this?" He muttered and looked closely, one side of the rope was splattered with blood, and when he looked closely, the other side was clean, only one side of the blood seeped down.

What's going on? Several of the hostages were not injured, and judging by the amount of bleeding, it is unlikely that it was a gunshot wound.

"Go, look at the mortal wounds of the brothers." He patted the police officer next to him and gave orders.

Although this is the last thing he wants to do, at this juncture, he can't care so much.

"Others were shot, but it's weird." The policeman scratched his head in confusion. "One of them was a sharp wound."

"You're not mistaken, are you?" The squad leader asked intently as he looked at the policeman.

"No, I ...... I saw that the knife wound was deep and fatal in one blow. He hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the hostage imps sitting in a circle, his voice trembling slightly.

The squad leader immediately came to the corpse of the policeman, a few minutes ago, they were comrades fighting side by side, and now, the squad leader could not imagine that the two would no longer be able to talk like before, or even work overtime

Going to a barbecue stand on the street at night seems to have become a decisive luxury.

"Wounds." But he did not give up the investigation, he knew that the death of his comrade-in-arms would only be meaningful if he continued to pursue the truth. At this time, he noticed a wound on his comrade's chest.

"That's weird." The police officer behind him also noticed the wound. "At that time, the gangsters were all some distance away from us, how could there be such a close knife wound?"

The team leader looked at the wound for a moment, then swept his gaze over all the hostages.

"Are you sure there are three hostages?" He asked again.

"That's right." The police looked sure.

"The wound is diagonally upward, and although the wound is not shallow, it is not deep enough." The team leader stood up, and he noticed that the rescue convoy had already driven over, and several police doctors he was familiar with had already spread out stretchers, and there were not many people coming.

"What does that mean?" The police circled around the corpse several times, but they didn't see why.

"Let's bring everyone back first." The team leader looked at the hostages intently and said, "Take the hostages and these children with them." ”

"Huh?" The police don't seem to understand the squad leader's intentions. "What's the use of this, what are they?"

"I suspect that the murderer is among them." The squad leader picked up a comrade-in-arms and took him to the car, but the police had no choice but to follow the captain's instructions and took the nine hostages into the car, and everyone reassembled under the orders of the captain of the internal guard.

When the squad leader saw the captain of the internal guard again, the battle was over.

The captain of the internal guard suffered several wounds.

"Captain." He took the arrested bandits down, stood straight, and the wound on his waist and abdomen was not treated immediately at his insistence, and he hoped that his comrades would be properly arranged first.

The internal guard looked at the wound on the squad leader's abdomen and was silent for a long time before reaching out and patting him on the shoulder.

“…… I'll look at the brothers. With that as much as he spoke, the captain of the internal guard got into the rescue vehicle and half of his body got inside.

As soon as his head got in, the nurse inside shouted out raw.

"Sir!" She hurriedly shouted.

"Shhhh Don't make a sound, I'll see how it goes. He hurried to stop it. Don't disturb their rest. ”

The nurse looked the guard up and down a few times, nodded, and said suddenly.

"Sir, you, you're bleeding, or I'll deal with it for you first......"

"What are you talking about?" The captain of the internal guard shook his head, a little dissatisfied. "Look at it, my soldiers haven't woken up yet, I haven't even understood the situation yet, so you let me take care of myself first?"

The nurse was silent.

"What about the casualties?" After a while, the captain of the internal guard asked with some difficulty, his tone full of sadness.

"Yes...... nurse replied in a whisper, lowering her head. Four officers were killed instantly, five were left in a coma with serious injuries, and two were out of danger......"

The nurse's voice grew lower and lower as she spoke.

"It's not your fault." The captain of the internal guard sighed and said. "You did your best, I know, what about the remaining three?"

They ...... "Nurse look away." I don't know if I'll be able to survive yet. ”

The captain of the internal guard sighed heavily and left the car, pulled out, and looked back at the squad leader beside him.

"You don't lose that the old man brought it out."

The team leader was silent, and after a while, he said suddenly.

"Captain, there's something I want to report to you."

"Oh?"
