Chapter 737: Corpse
By the time Lao Hong and Richard arrived at the scene, there were already many police officers gathered in the courtyard. The light from a few torches swayed back and forth in the wind, and the light from the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion swayed back and forth in the wind, and the shadow of the courtyard was more than enough.
The gunfire just now was very sudden in such a quiet night, and it must have spread to every corner of the manor. The curious survivors were not qualified to find out, most of the people present were members of the police force, and Lao Hong also saw Butler Grant and several of his henchmen.
The gunshots didn't come anymore, and everyone's expressions didn't seem to be solemn, it seemed that the trouble had been solved, Lao Hong looked around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alert! Look around and see if there's anyone suspicious. ”
Lao Hong could tell from his voice that the person in command should be Baker, the old policeman who was very old and spoke very well in the police force.
As soon as Baker's words fell, the crowd suddenly became chaotic.
Lao Hong and Richard looked back in unison, only to see two people walking out of the exquisite wooden door of the villa, Pierre in the director's uniform, and Lily following closely behind.
Lily was still wearing the sports-style clothes she wore at noon, the light makeup on her face had long been removed, and her black hair was a little messy from the wind. Even so, it is still impossible to ignore her delicate face, as well as her slightly upturned, bewitching and rational eyes.
Everyone present, including Lao Hong, no one thought that this beautiful woman would also appear.
Director Pierre standing next to Lily looked so ordinary, even more like a lewd middle-aged uncle, many people thought of it in their hearts.
Everyone's eyes didn't dare to linger on the director's wife, and they hurriedly quieted down to make way for the director.
With a calm expression on his face, Pierre paced to the center of the crowd, and standing around him were Martin, Baker, Doctor Hall and others, and the core management of the manor could be said to be here.
Lao Hong and the others were some distance from Pierre, which did not prevent him from observing Pierre's expression and the corpse lying in a pool of blood not far away.
It is not accurate to say that it is a corpse, because Lao Hong does not know whether this person is dead or not, maybe he is still alive. However, it is estimated that death is not far away, as evidenced by the blood that constantly oozes from under his body.
Judging from what this person was wearing, he should only be the most humble survivor in the manor, Lao Hong quickly made a judgment. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the identity, but the pistol on the ground looks a little weird again.
"Dr. Hall, please."
While Lao Hong was pondering, Pierre nodded at Hall, still without too much expression on his face.
Dr. Hall walked over to the 'corpse' and crouched down and examined it carefully. After about half a minute, he got up and shook his head at Pierre.
Lao Hong is right, it's really a corpse.
"I was shot twice in the chest, both in critical positions."
Lao Hong heard Dr. Hall explain this to Pierre.
Pierre's face sank and he just nodded.
Although it was only a survivor who died, it was definitely not a trivial matter, not to mention that there was a pistol of unknown origin, Lao Hong decided to play the role of passerby A and did not intend to be involved in this incident.
Sneaking a glance at Richard next to him, it seemed that he thought the same as himself, passerby B.
"Does anyone know what's going on?"
Pierre's brow furrowed slightly when he saw that no one had reported to him for a long time.
No one could give Pierre an answer, and it seemed that they had come not much earlier than him, Lao Hong thought secretly.
Pierre seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and asked again: "Who was the first person to arrive?" ”
"Director... It's me. A submissive man's voice came.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on this person, which made the person who spoke even more nervous.
"I was patrolling around here, and when I heard a gunshot, I rushed over..."
It's him...
The person who spoke, Lao Hong, happened to recognize him, and he was familiar with it.
Dave, a college student in Alexia's four-member squad. At that time, he was selected for training in the police force together with Alexander, and his results were not very good, but he managed to stay in the police force.
Tonight, it was his turn to patrol.
Out of his understanding of Dave, Lao Hong didn't think that he would rush to the scene immediately as he just said. These reserve members of the police force are not qualified to carry guns, and their first reaction when they hear the gunshots is not to rush to the scene immediately, at least they have to hesitate for a while to be normal.
Dave certainly wasn't the first to arrive, and he probably missed an important picture. But even so, he was the first to come to the scene, and he was the only person Pierre could ask questions.
What Lao Hong can think of, Pierre will naturally not be far behind.
"What do you see?"
It was clear from Pierre's tone that he did not have much hope.
"When I arrived, there was only one corpse left..."
Dave lowered his head, not daring to look into Pierre's eyes.
Sure enough, Lao Hong and Pierre sighed in their hearts at the same time.
"But..."
"But what?"
Baker anxiously asked for Director Pierre, Dave was trained by him, he could be regarded as half a student, and he didn't want Dave to be punished for this.
"I see a figure going that way—" Dave hesitated and pointed into the darkness, the torch illuminating a limited area to see the situation over there.
"Why didn't you chase it?"
Pierre's tone became much colder, which was already questioning Dave's dereliction of duty.
"I... I..."
Dave was too frightened to look up, and stammered a few words but couldn't say anything.
"Don't be afraid," Lily, who had been standing beside Pierre, suddenly spoke, her voice very gentle and comforting, "Think about it, who are you seeing?" My own people or..."
Lily said as she glanced at the corpse on the ground, the meaning obvious, and she asked if the man had any accomplices.
"It's... What I'm seeing should be..."
In fact, Dave didn't know what the identity of that figure was. Judging from the form of the person when he left, it didn't look like a panicked escape, it was probably his own. But it's too easy to prove the truth, and if no one comes back, won't it be doomed?
In this way, it seems that it is directly said that this person's accomplices are even more hundred.
"This should be the case..."
"What he sees is me."
Just as Dave was about to tell that it was this man's accomplice, a familiar voice came from the darkness.
Everyone's eyes turned away from Dave and they all turned their heads to look into the darkness.
I saw a man come out of the darkness, he was holding a gun in his left hand, and he seemed to be dragging something in his right hand and couldn't see clearly.
It wasn't until the man approached that everyone gasped.
It's Brooke...
He appears to have been shot in the left shoulder, and the blood stained his uniform a darker color...
As for the one he was dragging in his right hand, it was a woman...
(To be done!) )
