Chapter 041: Same Fate

The torrential rain continued to ravage this secluded forest, and the visitor did not hold an umbrella, allowing the pouring rain to water his thin body. He had a small flashlight in his hand, and the yellowing beam of the flashlight shone into the depths of the woods, and he walked forward in a panic, stumbling, and almost fell several times.

Shen Nuo had already extinguished the light of the flashlight in his hand and pulled me into the tall weeds. We left our umbrellas far aside, for fear that the sound of heavy rain hitting the umbrellas would be heard. We squatted, completely hidden in the grass, and secretly observed the direction of the comer, and in just a few seconds, the clothes on both of us were all wet with heavy rain, and the cold wind carried a biting cold dampness, piercing my body like needles.

When Shen Nuo came, she confidently said that she could lure the murderer to the bait, but I didn't believe it very much, because she didn't even have a good plan, but at this time, I wasn't sure. The person who came, I used to suspect him, recently, I felt that he had something to hide from me, but now when I really saw his figure, I was still surprised, and even my hands trembled, and it was Lao Zhang.

I remembered that before Xu Yi and I went out of the police station, Xiao Nan didn't know what to say in Lao Zhang's ear, so Lao Zhang hugged Xiao Nan and walked out of Zhao Da's office in a panic. Unexpectedly, it hadn't been long since Lao Zhang came here, so Lao Zhang must have come by car. The woods are very quiet, and we could hear some sounds whenever a car drove around here, but unfortunately now the rain is so heavy that nothing can drown the sound of rain.

Shen Nuo's hair was wet and sticking to her face, she grabbed my wrist and whispered to me that Lao Zhang was the murderer she had always suspected. Shen Nuo was very serious at the moment, and through her already soaked sleeves, I could feel her cold body temperature. Although Lao Zhang walked in a hurry, his speed was very slow.

I don't think Lao Zhang is the murderer of several cases of the woman in red, not to mention that he has been with us a few times, and he has no time to commit crimes, so let's just say that his physical fitness, it is impossible to escape our pursuit many times. Shen Nuo pulled me and rushed to the front, and before I could ask, Shen Nuo said that we would go to the front and wait for Lao Zhang.

We were still squatting in the grass, jumping forward quickly, the rain was loud, and we were not afraid that Lao Zhang would hear the sound, our speed was much faster than Lao Zhang, and soon, we threw Lao Zhang away. Shen Nuo and I stood up, and she was still holding my hand, and I withdrew my hand.

"Ms. Shen, you'd better make it clear, what are you going to do?" Just now, I was afraid of attracting Lao Zhang's attention, so I didn't speak.

Shen Nuo pointed to the red clothes attached to her body, "Of course you led Lao Zhang to commit a crime!" Shen Nuo was not nervous at all, she told me with a smile that there was more than one murderer, but Lao Zhang was definitely one of them. After speaking, Shen Nuo found a more conspicuous place to stand and asked me to go and hide aside.

I stood and looked at Shen Nuo, she was sorting out her clothes, Shen Nuo saw that I didn't move, and was anxious: "Professor Li, you are hiding!" ”

"Ms. Shen, Lao Zhang is suspicious, but he is not enough to become a suspect, you have no substantive evidence, why are you so sure? Moreover, even if Lao Zhang is a murderer and he knows you, do you think he will not think that you are luring him into taking the bait when he sees you? I said to Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo waved his hand at me vigorously, "You hide to the side first, isn't it, you'll know in a while!" Seeing that I was still standing, Shen Nuo ran over and pulled me behind a big tree. In the distance, a faint light flickered, it was the flashlight that Lao Zhang was holding in his hand.

Shen Nuo shouted excitedly, and immediately ran back to his original position. I didn't say more, but when I observed carefully, Shen Nuo was not afraid at all, and stuck out his tongue at me from time to time. Shen Nuo's personality is changeable, and sometimes it even gives me a feeling of nervousness.

Slowly, Shen Nuo finally became serious again, she stared at the dangling point of light in the distance, I also looked in that direction, a minute passed, and Lao Zhang's figure still did not appear. I squinted my eyes and looked closer, and the point of light was swinging from side to side, rhythmically drawing an arc.

"Oops!" I let out a yelling and immediately ran towards the point of light. Shen Nuo also immediately followed, she had a hard time to keep up with my speed, and she asked me what was wrong. I didn't answer her, because I had a feeling of extreme uneasiness in my heart. The point of light was swaying from side to side all the time, and it wasn't getting any closer in our direction.

Sure enough, as we approached the point of light, I finally saw that the flashlight was hanging from a thin rope, one end of which was tied to a branch, and the flashlight was swaying from side to side in the wind and rain. Shen Nuo panicked, screaming how could this be, and looked around to find Lao Zhang's figure.

At this moment, the strong sense of uneasiness in my heart was still very strong, and the heavy rain seemed to make my fever worse, and my head was dizzy. I'm going mad, I don't know how I could be so foolish with a little girl. Shen Nuo searched for a long time, but he didn't find where Lao Zhang was, so I calmed down and looked at the hanging flashlight.

This tree is very high, and it is raining, if you want to climb the tree, it is not so easy, with Lao Zhang's age and physical fitness, he may not be able to climb up, so this rope is likely to be someone else. Now, I can basically be sure that Lao Zhang was not attracted by Shen Nuo, otherwise he would not have stumbled into this forest like he had just done.

I'm afraid that Lao Zhang was originally going to come to this place, and the person who tied the flashlight to this tree doesn't know whether he deliberately wanted to bring us here or to delay time, all in all, Lao Zhang is likely to be in danger. In just a few seconds, I did a rough analysis, if it is procrastinating time, the person can not have to work so hard, and if the flashlight is not turned on, the procrastination will be longer.

It is more likely that the person wanted to use a flashlight to lure us over, and there must have been a purpose in leading us here, so there must be other valuable information around here. Sure enough, I snatched the flashlight from Shen Nuo's hand and shone it into the distance, and found a dark shadow, he was standing still.

I didn't dare to leave Shen Nuo alone, lest there be danger, so I asked Shen Nuo to follow closely and ran towards the black shadow. Shen Nuo panted and followed me, and finally, I saw the black shadow clearly, it was Lao Zhang. With his head bowed, he stood on the edge of a large tree, holding the trunk with one hand.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Lao Zhang didn't have an accident. But when the beam of the flashlight hit Lao Zhang, he didn't react at all, just when I was worried that Lao Zhang would have the unconscious reaction of Xiao Nan and Shen Nuo, Lao Zhang suddenly turned around. Lao Zhang's lips trembled, and his pale face was slightly red from the cold rain.

Lao Zhang seemed to be crying, his shoulders kept shaking, but his tears and the rain on his face were mixed together. Lao Zhang called me in a hoarse voice and took a step in my direction, but Lao Zhang immediately stopped again. Lao Zhang seemed to be in pain, constantly wiping his eyes with his hands, not knowing whether to wipe the rain or tears.

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing here?" I wisely chose not to get close to Lao Zhang, who was still armed with a gun at his waist, and at the moment he was acting strangely and was very emotional, so I didn't dare to approach him.

"Come to see someone...... Lao Zhang looked at me, to be precise, behind me, I subconsciously turned my head, it was pitch black and there was nothing. But Lao Zhang kept staring at it intently, Shen Nuo was very bold, she actually ran over to confirm it in person, and soon, she ran back and told me that there was indeed nothing there.

"What about Xiao Nan? Who are you coming to see? I frowned and asked, Lao Zhang said this, I became more vigilant, as I guessed, Lao Zhang was not led here by Shen Nuo, he came to see someone, and that person was probably around us.

Lao Zhang suddenly sat on the ground, beating his chest and crying bitterly, Shen Nuo glanced at me and wanted to step forward, but I pulled her back. Lao Zhang opened his mouth to mutter, and the rain was very loud, and I listened carefully to hear what he was muttering. Lao Zhang said that he should not be involved in this case without doing his best.

I called Lao Zhang softly, and Lao Zhang raised his head suddenly, "Professor Li, I tried in vain to catch that thing with you, it's impossible...... It's impossible......" When Lao Zhang said this, I remembered what he said to me in the police station. Both times, he cried.

It's just that that time, he cried very resolutely and was determined to catch the murderer with me, but this time, he cried desperately.

"Who are you coming to see?" I asked again. The atmosphere was getting tense, the leaves were falling one by one under the heavy rain, and I always had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Lao Zhang raised his hand and wiped his crying red eyes with his sleeve, and finally stopped crying. He leaned on the trunk of the tree and slowly stood up.

"Lao Zhong ......" After a long time, Lao Zhang answered the question I asked. It's just that his answer made my heart flutter, Zhong Yudong is the former captain of the police force, and the news of his death is known to the entire police force, including Shen Nuo, who just arrived.

"Isn't Zhong Yudong dead?" Shen Nuo asked in surprise.

"If you're dead, can't you see each other again?" The old bell replied faintly. After saying that, Lao Zhang put his eyes on me, and he sighed, "Xiao Nan is ...... at home"

Lao Zhang suddenly put his hand on his waist, and in the next second, he suddenly took out the matching gun in his hand, and Shen Nuo shouted, wanting to pull me to the side to dodge. But I noticed that after Lao Zhang took out the gun, the muzzle of the gun was not ours......
