Chapter 21: Desperate Victims
Just when Li Zhitong and Xiao Ai were arguing, Yu Yi suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Get out of here, I hear a siren from a police car on the other side of the harbor." Yu Yi shouted.
Led by Yu Yi, Xu Tian, Li Zhitong and Xiao Ai boarded a small boat, and Yu Yi deliberately rowed the boat beyond the illuminated area on the coast, bypassing the illuminated area, and Yu Yi parked the boat on a dim beach.
Everyone followed Yu Yi ashore and came to an abandoned merchant ship.
The merchant ship appears to be nothing more than an iron shelf, but in fact the bottom of the merchant ship has been converted into a large room for human habitation.
"What is this place?" Xu Tian asked.
"I bought it from a homeless family for us to hide for the time being, and the police won't find it." Yu Yi said.
"But there's only one exit here, and once we're targeted, there's no chance of escape." Xu Tian said worriedly.
"Just stay here until dawn, and when dawn comes, we'll get out of here right away." Yu Yi said.
"Where are you going to take me?" Xu Tian asked.
"Where do you think we should go next?" Yu Yi asked.
"I speculate that there will be movement on Mr. Jin's side soon, and it would be too dangerous to return to the island, but we really don't have a place to go now." Xu Tian said.
"Why don't I take you to the place where the murder happened in the past few days? Maybe some clues can be found in those places. Li Zhitong said.
"No, this is too dangerous, the police will definitely expect Xu Tian to do that, and there will definitely be police officers ambushing around those crime scenes." Yu Yi said.
"There's only one place to go." Li Zhitong said.
"Is it the urban village that is about to be demolished? Is it really okay there? Xu Tian asked.
"There are a few of my people stationed there, and it is also the secret liaison site of our Dong'an City police, if Lao Chen is not unusual, he will not betray that liaison site." Li Zhitong said.
"Why don't we go now, it's unforeseen to be in danger if you stay here for another minute." Yu Yi said.
"You're going with you?" Li Zhitong looked at Yu Yi with strange eyes and said.
"What? You still don't believe us? If we don't have that trust, then we really don't have anything to talk about. Yu Yi complained.
"If the four of us act together, the target will appear to be very large, and if we are caught, we will also be wiped out, at least we must ensure that one or two people are not caught by the police." Li Zhitong said.
"Wasn't you just discussing how to tell each other about the clues you have? Then let's have an exchange! Xu Tian said.
"What's the exchange method?" Li Zhitong asked.
"I'll go with Xiao Ai, let Xiao Ai tell me the clues, you and Yu Yi go together, you tell Yu Yi the clues, and when we get to the place of convergence, I will check the clues with Yu Yi, so that there will be no things you are worried about." Xu Tian said.
"I'm in favor of your proposal." Li Zhitong looked at Xiao Ai with contempt and said.
Xiao Ai was pouted by Xu Tian, Xu Tian had already classified himself into Li Zhitong's team in the dark, but Xiao Ai looked at Xu Tian with an unintentional look, so he didn't blame Xu Tian anymore.
"Then it's decided, it's best to meet at dawn." Yu Yi said.
Everyone said to leave, Li Zhitong and Yu Yi left the abandoned merchant ship first, and Xu Tian and Xiao Ai left after half an hour.
"Do you have something to ask me when you took them away?" Xiao Ai asked Xu Tian.
"I do have something to ask you, but I've changed my mind again, and I always have a hunch that we'll soon come into contact with Zhinian Tai Sui." Xu Tian said.
"You don't doubt me, do you? I'm telling you, it's stupid for you to think so. Xiao Ai said.
"Who should I suspect, I already have the answer in my heart, before going to the meeting place, I want to take you somewhere." Xu Tian said.
"What else are you going to do? At this time, it's best not to make a fuss, because if we don't make it to the meeting point on time, we're going to have a mess. Xiao Ai said.
"Of course I do, but it's close to the crime scene in the ocean view house, and it's easy for the two of us to sneak in." Xu Tian said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that? Why do you say that? Xiao Ai lowered his head and asked.
"You don't have to say something, do you? The neighborhood of that sea view room, where you used to be. Xu Tian said.
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Ai asked.
"You and Yu Yi must have gone to find Lao Ma Zu and Sun after returning from the island, I don't believe that you and Yu Yi did not investigate their grandchildren, but according to the information given by Lao Chen, when we came back from the island, Lao Ma Zu and Sun should have gone out, so you and Yu Yi must have sneaked into Lao Ma's home. Judging from the content of the article given by Zhi Nian Tai Sui, if the information revealed by Zhi Nian Tai Sui is true, then you and Yu Yi should have discovered the thief who was killed in Lao Ma's house a few days ago. Xu Tian said.
"Your statement is very logical, but how do you know that everything written by Zhinian Tai Sui is true?" Xiao Ai said.
"I'm not sure that everything that Zhinian Tai Sui wrote is true, but I at least think that you and Yu Yi should have investigated that house." Xu Tian said.
"You're right, I've been there, but by the time I went, the dead had already been killed." Xiao Ai said.
"Sure enough, what did you see at the time?" Xu Tian asked.
"I saw the appearance of the murderer, when I was standing on a big rock by the sea and looking into the house, I saw the murderer strangling the victim by the window, and the victim asked me for help, but then the murderer suddenly pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed the deceased." Xiao Ai said.
"As a result, you didn't save people, did you? Why didn't people be saved? Xu Tian shouted at Xiao Ai.
"What are you anxious about with me? At that time, there was no possibility of survival of the victim, as far as I know, the nearest medical institution around the sea view house was a small clinic, and the doctors there could not treat the victim at all, and the nearest hospital from the sea view house was almost seven kilometers, the time was the evening rush hour, the ambulance to the beach would definitely encounter traffic jams, the victim could not be treated. Xiao Ai said.
"So you watched the victim die there?" Xu Tian asked.
"That man kept looking at me before he died, as if he was begging me to save him, but there was really nothing I could do." Xiao Ai said.
