Chapter 18: The Line Between Life and Death

Ding Xiao couldn't guess the murderer's thoughts. From the conversation, it can be heard that the murderer felt that he had seen his face, so he tried to attack himself. But...... Why did it take him so long to call?

And what was the purpose of his call? Want her to exchange the bell herself?

Just when Ding Xiao was guessing endlessly, the murderer spoke again: "I want to meet with you." ”

For Ding Deng's comfort, Ding Xiao agreed without hesitation and asked him what time it was.

The murderer made an appointment at seven o'clock the night after tomorrow at a very popular Japanese restaurant. Meeting in this kind of place, of course, is to attract people by borrowing more people.

Ning Bai was also more at ease with this place, even if the murderer had other intentions, in such a bustling street, the murderer would not dare to act rashly.

"Are you scared?" Three hours before the appointment, Ding Xiao asked Ning Bai.

When he answered the phone the night before, Ning Bai stood by the side and said nothing, of course, he listened to the murderer's words completely. So he decided to hide in the dark to protect Ding Xiao when Ding Xiao went to the appointment, by the way...... Find a chance to catch the murderer.

"Not scared, even a little happy." Ning Bai said. After all, after looking for so long, there is finally news of Ding Deng.

"Tonight is a Hongmen feast, after all, the murderer's target is me." Ding Xiao held a sharp dagger in her hand, which Ning Bai gave her for self-defense. "Let's hope everything goes as planned." Ding Xiao took a deep breath and put the dagger into his bag.

Getting up, she was ready to go out.

The appointment with He Yong was half past eight in the evening, and now if you take a taxi, you have to wait for two hours. But it doesn't matter, at least Ning Bai can find a good hiding place.

And the scene where the two went out together was seen by Jin Lizi, who was hiding behind the door of his house. He sneered, and after Ding Xiao and Ning Bai had completely gone downstairs, he took out his mobile phone and called He Yong: "I guessed right, that mother-in-law still told the others, ready to yin you." ”

"Called the police?"

"Not really, but she told a college student that they're going to subdue you for the night."

"The two of them? I'm afraid it's almost. Are you going to meddle in this tonight? ”

"It's your plan, I don't interfere. I'm going to rely on my plan to take Ding Xiao away for you. ”

"Well, hang up." He Yong's tone was flat, and after hanging up the phone, he was also ready to go out. It takes more than two hours to get from him to the center of Fancheng.

Tonight's night is destined to be long......

It was not only his action to plan to take Ding Xiao away, but also for Ding Deng, who had been planning for a long time and was preparing to escape, it was also very long.

"Can't you really bring Jiang Ming?" Xia Luoqing asked anxiously. Jiang Ming was seriously injured, and the wound was only treated simply, and even medicine was useless.

If it was a hot summer, Jiang Ming would probably have died a long time ago.

"He can't move, and we can't run with him." Ding Zhong was very embarrassed. This time, she finally waited for He Yong to go far away, she just wanted to succeed in one fell swoop. "When we go out, call the police, and we will definitely be able to rush back to save him."

Xia Luoqing bit her lower lip and held Jiang Ming's hand tightly with both hands. "Jiang Ming, you must hold on, wait for me to come back to save you!"

At this time, Jiang Ming was still in a semi-coma, and what Xia Luoqing said to him was like a fly buzzing in his ears, he couldn't really hear it, and time didn't allow him to listen to it.

At 8:12 in the middle of the night, in the center of Fancheng.

The winter of the cold night is the most lively here, with people coming and going, and the river is endless. Ding Xiao had already arrived at the better destination, and after Ning Bai hid, she queued up to grab a seat and sat down for an hour. Whenever the waiter came over to urge her to order, she took out a hundred dollars from her bag to seal the waiter's mouth.

The murderer arrived at his destination at 8:20 p.m. When he arrived at his destination, he did not go to the appointment in time, but secretly stared at Ning Bai and Ding Xiao.

He was ready to go to the table ordered by Ding Xiao on time at thirty o'clock. But at 8:28, Lu Yuanhao's figure broke into his sight.

Lu Yuanhao walked to Ding Xiaoding's position and sat down, and his appearance surprised Ding Xiaodu. After the surprise, he was frightened: "Lu Yuanhao, why are you here?" She panicked, after all, the murderer had appeared.

Lu Yuanhao could see the panic in her eyes at a glance, and he was unhappy: "What are you doing here?" He rushed over after receiving a call from Tang Yunting. Tang Yunting didn't know where to get the news, saying that Ding Xiao wanted to see the murderer.

"It's too late to explain to you, please get out of the way first, I have something very important to do." Ding Xiao said.

"Do you want to see the murderer?" Lu Yuanhao had already discovered the murderer, and he called Tang Yunting before he sat down in his seat, and the two were still on the phone.

"Now that you know everything, why show up? Do you know that the murderer will not show up as soon as you appear, I finally waited for this opportunity. Ding Xiao stood up and was a little angry, it was already half past eight, and she thought to herself that the murderer must have seen this scene.

"Is this opportunity you are talking about giving the murderer a chance to catch you?" Lu Yuanhao's tone was also not good, he was already very angry that Ding Xiao hid his secret meeting with the murderer. "Ding Xiao, you are no longer a child, why can't you tell the difference between good and evil."

Ding Xiao smiled coldly, "I only know that I want to find Ding Zhong, even if I exchange my own life." ”

"It's naΓ―ve!" Tang Yunting's voice came from Lu Yuanhao's mobile phone, "I found the place where he parked, Lan went to ambush, and you will attack in a while." ”

"Hmm."

"Can you do it?"

"Huh." Lu Yuanhao snorted coldly, and turned his eyes after hanging up the conversation with Tang Yunting.

The direction he looked was where He Yong was.

The two eyes are in the dimly lit city; One in a dark corner. Just looked at each other for a while, Lu Yuanhao quickly got up and chased in the direction where He Yong was. Ding Xiao stood up and took two steps forward, then went back and picked up the bag and followed Lu Yuanhao.

Ning Bai also joined the chase, and soon He Yong took the three of them from the downtown to a remote area without surveillance.

Ning Bai and Lu Yuanhao went to block He Yong in two places, and Ning Bai blocked He Yong ten minutes later. He slowed down a little breathlessly, blocking He Yong in a dead end.

He Yong's sharp gaze quickly scanned the surroundings, and he didn't panic. He quickly took out a dagger from his pocket when Ning Bai approached him step by step, and quickly stabbed him with a sharp dagger when Ning Bai didn't attack.

Ning Bai reacted quickly and dodged it, and fought with He Yong with his bare hands.

He Yong's shot was fast and accurate, and the knife stabbed Ning Bai where it was fatal. If Ning Bai hadn't been strictly trained by his father before, it was estimated that he would have to die under He Yong's knife in a short time.

Just after Ning Bai and He Yong confronted each other for several minutes, Lu Yuanhao finally rushed over. He dealt with He Yong with Ning Bai, and soon He Yong was at a disadvantage, and the dagger in his hand was kicked to the ground by Lu Yuanhao.

Seeing that things were not good, He Yong pretended to be knocked down. When Ning Bai stepped forward to check, he slammed a blow to Ning Bai's stomach, Ning Bai was knocked to the ground, and he curled up on the ground in pain while holding his stomach. He Yong quickly stood up and ran to the other side.

Lu Yuanhao was suddenly a little embarrassed, he didn't know whether to continue to chase He Yong or check Ning Bai's injuries.

And at the same time, on the other side -

It took a lot of effort for Ding Zhong to finally pry the door open, and she ran out of the slaughterhouse with Xia Luoqing. Xia Luoqing walked this road, she knew that the road was very long, and if she ran on the two of her legs, she would have to run until tomorrow morning, maybe the two of them would be caught back by He Yong halfway through.

"What then? It's all out. Ding Zhong looked left and right, and found that there was a barren mountain near this slaughterhouse, and no one would come at all.

"Jiang Ming had a car, and I remember that he took it to the slaughterhouse as well. As long as we find the car, we can take Jiang Ming out together. ”

"It's a method, but where's the car?"

The two began to look around for the car, and after looking for half an hour, Xia Luoqing found the car in a pile of haystacks. The car seems to have been repaired, but there are no car keys.

After working for a long time and not finding the car keys, Ding Zhong saw that the time was not early, and pulled Xia Luoqing to run away from the slaughterhouse on foot.

After this delay, the time reached 10:50 in the evening.

He Yong was also tired enough, not only did he not catch anyone, but he also lost the car. Fortunately, Jin Lizi appeared in time and drove him away from Fancheng.

When the car drove to the side of a road deep in the mountains, He Yong asked Jin Lizi to stop. Because the road in front and behind is surrounded by an endless desert, there is no hiding place at all. Moreover, Ding Zhong and Xia Luoqing are still injured and will not run far. The only place to hide is in the deep forest.

He Yong and Jin Lizi went to look for them on both sides.

And Ding Zhong and Xia Luoqing really ran into this deep forest as He Yong analyzed. In this lonely night, Ding Zhong keenly heard the sound of stopping and turning off the engine on the road under the deep forest, her heart skipped a few beats, and she let go of the hand that was holding Xia Luoqing tightly. "Xia Luoqing, the two of us have to run separately. In this way, no matter who is caught, the remaining one can escape, no matter who escapes, you must call the police as soon as possible to rescue you after you go out. ”

Xia Luoqing nodded solemnly.

So the two ran separately, and after running for a while, Ding Zhong saw a fallen tree in front of her, and there was a bush with lush branches behind the big tree, and she decided to hide in the bush.

And Xia Luoqing was not so lucky, there was nowhere to hide in the direction she ran, and she ran into He Yong who was looking for her with a flashlight.

She screamed in fright, screaming through the silence of the jungle like a sharp blade cutting through the silence of the night.

Several crows were so startled by the sound that they flapped their wings and flew away from the jungle, He Yong stepped forward and grabbed Xia Luoqing, and a few punches landed on her face without hesitation.

Xia Luoqing was beaten so much that her eyes were full of stars, He Yong grabbed her collar hard, and asked angrily, "What about that woman?" ”

Xia Luoqing didn't speak, He Yong raised his hand and landed another punch in her face. He threw Xia Luoqing on the ground, and then reached out and pulled her clothes hard.
