Chapter 536: Hide and Seek

The figure stood in the dark night, the weather in the desert was unpredictable, and at this moment, there was a strong wind outside, and there was faint yellow sand blown by the wind. Hit on the glass window. The wind blew the corner of the figure in the distance, and the man was not far away, but the endless dark night behind him seemed to engulf his figure.

The darkness devours everything, which gives me the illusion of vision. It was as if that person was standing very far away from me. At the last moment when Mingyue hid in the clouds, I faintly saw the figure of the person through that residual light, and my pupils suddenly contracted, he was the one who escaped.

Without more time to think, I jerked around and rushed down the dark hallway. As I passed the second floor, I glanced into Doha's room again. Through the gap in the white cloth, I could clearly see Doha's face, the oil lamp in her room was always on, the window seemed to be closed, and the light flickered.

Doha was asleep in bed, only her face was exposed. When passing through the door of the Doha room. Doha moved slightly. I was relieved to continue running. I calculated the time, I went out to investigate for more than an hour, it was not easy for Maimaiti to make Adili unconscious in this hour and then escape, it is unlikely that he would have deliberately hurt others.

I rushed outside. Without any hesitation, I ran in the direction where Maimaiti was standing, I couldn't see Maimaiti anymore, and quickly ran to the place where he was standing before, I looked around, and again, I saw Maimaiti's figure again in a long distance, I gritted my teeth and chased after him.

Adiri also caught up, he was just sober, his head was still a little foggy, and he was even staggering when he walked. Sometimes Maimaiti runs faster, sometimes he runs slower, and what's even weirder is that his figure disappears for a while. It reappeared after a while.

After walking around the village for more than ten minutes, I still couldn't find Maimaiti. Adili asked me if I wanted to wake up all the villagers and come to catch Maimaiti, I thought for a few seconds and shook my head. I found that Maimaiti seemed to have been grabbing our attention, and he might have other plans.

Maimaiti ran and stopped, neither letting us catch up, nor letting us completely lose his tracks. Mamaiti was very familiar with the village, he knew more about the alleys and paths than we did, and there were so many mud dams and stone bricks in the village, it was very easy for him to get rid of us, but he didn't do it.

And more than ten minutes have passed, and Maimaiti has not run out of the village, but has been taking us around the village. The facts of Maimaiti's crime are basically clear, and all that is missing is the investigation of Maimaiti's criminal methods and his confession.

Therefore, I did not dare to call out all the villagers. It is true that there are many people who can catch Maimaiti, but Maimaiti, who has fallen into a state of madness, is likely to hurt or kill people, these villagers are honest people, and I can't let innocent villagers suffer any harm. A few seconds after I was talking to Adili, the figure of Maimaiti appeared not far away again.

This time, Mamati was so close to us that he hid behind a mud dam, revealing half of his face.

The bright moon came out of the clouds again, and the moonlight sprinkled on that half of his face, which made Maimaiti's face look a little oozing. When we found out about Maimaiti, Maimaiti suddenly turned around and ran away, and we followed, but when we got behind the mud dam, Maimaiti didn't know where to go.

In this way, Adiri and I walked around the village for more than 40 minutes, and whenever we couldn't find Maimaiti, he would show up on his own initiative. But there was no way we could catch him all the while. Adiri was angry, we were a little tired after running for so long, Adiri gasped and kicked the mud dam next to us.

It was because of these mud dams and stone bricks that we were not able to catch Maimaiti. These things are obstacles for us, but they are a weapon for Maimaiti to help him hide.

"When I catch him, instead of beating him up, he will treat us like monkeys!" Adiri scolded again.

At this time, Maimaiti, who had disappeared for several minutes, reappeared, and Adili was so angry that he wanted to chase after him, and I stopped Adiri. Adiri looked at me blankly and asked me if I was going to give up. I smiled slightly, it is naturally impossible to give up, but if this continues, even if it is dawn, we will not be able to catch anyone.

Although I don't know the purpose of Maimaiti, after so long, I can already be sure that he is taking us around in circles, and he will not run away directly for a while. I asked Adili to call out the three detectives who had gone back to sleep, the villagers were not suitable to participate in the arrest, but it was the duty of the detectives.

Adiri immediately complied, and in order to prevent Mamaitijin from escaping, I continued the tiring chase. In the next twenty minutes, Maimaiti and I ran as before, one chased, one hid, and one searched, and I suddenly thought of the children in the village who were playing hide and seek.

I didn't expect that serious criminal investigation and arrest work would be like a child's hide-and-seek. The scene seemed funny, but the atmosphere was very tense, and several times, I almost caught Maimaiti, but each time it was only a little bit off. Maimaiti is in the shadows, and he is familiar with the terrain, so his level of hard work is much lower than mine.

My speed slowed down, but my speed didn't slow down at all.

Eventually, Adiri and the three detectives returned, and the three of them joined the chase, and I was confident that even if the other party could take advantage of the terrain, it was only a matter of time before we caught him. However, Maimaiti no longer travels around the village.

He ran straight towards a trail that led in the direction of the desert. The wind was blowing, and as soon as we approached the desert, the sand and the wind blew in our faces, and Adiri's mouth opened wide, and the sand went straight into his mouth, and he bent over and spat wildly, cursing as he spoke.

We all stopped at the edge of the desert, but Mamat still rushed towards the desert, and he didn't even care about the wind.

"What should I do, do I still have to chase? Will there be sandstorms? Adiri asked me. Pool double technique.

I frowned and thought for a moment, I crossed the desert to another village, and if Maimaiti escaped, it would be very difficult to catch people within the border provinces. Maimaiti definitely knew where the coffin was hidden, and for the sake of this secret, I gritted my teeth and chased after it.

Adiri called out to me behind me, and when I looked back, three black shadows stood on the edge of the desert, and they did not catch up, and soon, under the cover of the night and the yellow sand, I could not see them. Maimaiti and I are far away, and I will not be able to catch up with him for a while.

Even though I was tired, I didn't dare to slow down. I had just entered the desert, and there were still very few undulating sand dunes here, and when I went deeper into the desert, there were more sand dunes one after another, and it was even more impossible for me to catch Maimaiti. I don't know how long I ran, but the wind got stronger and stronger, and the tiny sand got into my clothes.

Moving forward quickly, I didn't have time to pay attention to my feet, and several times, my foot stepped into the sand, and if I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have sunk my whole foot in. The yellow sand was raging, my eyes were a little unopen, and again, I fell to the ground.

I looked into the distance, and Maimaiti stopped.

To my surprise, Maimaiti walked slowly towards me. Looking at Maimaiti, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart, but I couldn't tell what that strange feeling was. My strength was almost exhausted, and Maimaiti seemed to be tired, and he was standing less than five meters away from me.

Maimaiti and I both covered half of our faces with our hands, and I had inhaled a lot of smoke and dust, and I felt a lot of stuffiness in my chest.

I could only see Maimaiti's face very vaguely, and he slowly lowered his hand and finally made a defiant gesture towards me. Again, Maimaiti ran forward, and I had to get up again.

However, I stepped into the sand, and the soles of my feet felt empty, and in an instant, my thighs were buried in the sand.
