Chapter 664: Gambling
I immediately picked up the phone, this time it was a different public number, and I wasn't ready to let the police investigate, I knew that it was impossible for the other party to let himself be caught by the police, so it was impossible for the other party to do something stupid. As I expected, the voice was the same person who called me last night.
I took the initiative and I asked him where he wanted to meet. The other party hesitated for a while, and told me a location, which is a very far suburb from here, I know, it is very remote, there is no traffic jam at this time, and it takes about an hour to drive from here at full speed.
I looked at my watch, it was already eleven o'clock at night, I stood up, and was about to hang up the phone, when the other party stopped me. This behavior made him suspicious, and he asked me if I had colluded with the police to agree so readily. I smiled and replied: "Compared with the red clothes and Gao Xufan, you are too much worse, he has never been afraid of the police, but you are timid." ”
The other party responded to me with a sneer: "Wait a minute, you will know if I am worse than them." ”
"So, if you're so confident, why worry. I'm telling you, if you dare to hurt Xu Yi's hair, I'll pull you all out. I'm not going to be quick to talk to the other party at this time: "If you want kraft paper, don't hurt Xu Yi, otherwise I promise that you won't get anything." ”
After saying that, I hung up the phone directly. Jiang Jun and Dr. Zhou also stood up, and Jiang Jun told me to go with peace of mind and told me to be careful. Dr. Zhou also said that although he didn't know what the kraft paper was for, he would definitely protect it to the death. Jiang Jun sighed and asked if I could get the police to come over as well.
He was a little worried that he would not be able to hold on, this was the first time that Jiang Jun had no confidence like this. After all, the other party is very terrifying, and there are guns, Dr. Zhou will not fight, if there are more people on the other side, they will not be able to hold it at all.
"It's only like this, there's no way, it's not safe for me to take the kraft paper, and it's even more unsafe to hand it over to others, if you really encounter danger, just hand over the kraft paper, it's important to save your life." After speaking, I walked out of the door, but after taking a few steps, I turned back uneasily: "Xu Yi is in the other party's hands, and the other party definitely didn't expect that I would go without brown paper, so they shouldn't do the matter of transferring the tiger from the mountain." Rest assured, tonight is a gamble. ”
Finally, I stopped talking, I locked the door for them, got into Dr. Zhou's car, and drove to the agreed place. I called Team Leader Zhang, and I told him the location and told them to leave in half an hour. I wasn't sure in my heart that if I let the other party know that the police really followed me, Xu Yi might indeed be in danger.
At the end of the hour's drive, my head was a little dizzy, and I smoked a cigarette to keep myself awake. Finally, the car entered a very bumpy place, I stopped outside a small wood, opened the door, and I looked at the dark woods, under the moonlight, each tree had a different outline, strange and bleak.
I threw the cigarette butt on the ground and sighed into the woods: "It's a gamble, I just hope I don't lose." ”
With that, I strode into the woods. The moonlight was blocked by the dense foliage, and all the spider-like branches were reflected on the ground, and when the wind blew, the shadows of the trees on the ground really moved like spiders. In the darkness of the woods, I felt like I was stepping on thousands of spider monsters.
I kept walking inside, the early spring had not yet faded from the winter cold, and the temperature in the grove was very low. The cold wind blew on my face and arms, and I unconsciously got goosebumps all over my body. It's not the first time I've traveled to such a place alone to meet these mysterious people, but this time it's about Xu Yi, and it's impossible not to be nervous.
I went deep into the woods and shouted into the woods, "Come out, I'm coming." ”
My voice echoed through the woods for a long time before it dissipated, but it was silent in response. I raised the corners of my mouth, stopped looking around, and sat down against a tree. What followed was a long wait, and from time to time I would look at my watch by the light and shadow of the trees.
It turned out that I felt like a long time had passed, but in fact, the second hand was beating extremely slowly. I got to this wood, and only ten minutes had passed. Team Leader Zhang must have already set off with people, the distance is about the same, and in another twenty minutes, they should be able to come here.
But the person who asked me to meet never showed up. After another ten minutes of waiting, and there was still no movement in the woods, I stood up and frowned. At this moment, my phone rang again, and this time, it was a mobile phone number that called me.
I picked it up, and I heard that voice again.
"Have you arrived?" The other party asked me this question.
"I'm here, you." I replied calmly.
"Change places, follow the road just now, and drive for another half an hour." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone again.
I immediately strode out, and soon, I got to the car, I stepped on the accelerator, turned around, and drove the car forward. I rolled down the window, my nose got wet, and when I touched my face, I saw a large patch of blood red. My heart jerked, and for the first time I really felt my body was broken.
The cause of the nosebleed, I know very well.
But I didn't have time to stop, so I grabbed two pieces of toilet paper from Dr. Zhou's car and drove forward without slowing down as I wiped them. Finally, the nosebleed stopped, but at this time, the high beams of several vehicles came over, and I almost couldn't open my eyes.
I hit the brakes, opened the door and walked out. The cars also stopped, and several figures ran towards me, people from the city police. Team Leader Zhang asked me in some surprise how I drove back, and I smiled reluctantly: "Time is enough, it's time to go back." ”
Team Leader Zhang didn't understand what I meant at all, but his eyes caught eye on my hand. My right hand was covered with blood. Team Leader Zhang immediately glanced behind me: "You guys have already fought each other?" ”
I shook my head: "He didn't show up. ”
Team Leader Zhang listened to my words, and his face was a little solemn. Because I assured Team Leader Zhang that I would definitely be able to catch people on this trip. Team Leader Zhang was obviously a little unhappy, but he still held back his anger and asked me what was wrong. I told Team Leader Zhang about the other party's request for me to meet in another place.
Team Leader Zhang immediately wanted to take someone to arrest him, but I stopped him.
Team Leader Zhang: "What's wrong?" ”
Me: "You don't have to go, you can't catch anyone if you go." ”
Team Leader Zhang realized that the direction I was driving was not following the road I had just come, but going back, and I was about to go back. I didn't say much to Team Leader Zhang, I got into the car directly, he snorted coldly, got into the car, and several cars drove forward one after another, and finally, we drove the car into the city after more than an hour.
My car was driving side by side with Team Leader Zhang's car, and he shouted to me across the car with great displeasure: "Professor Li, I think you have to give the police an explanation, you have wasted the police's time!" ”
Team Leader Zhang's tone was full of anger, and I knew that he finally couldn't help it. I continued to drive intently, and I didn't turn my head to look at him: "You go back first, you have to explain, I think Vice Captain Wen will give it to you tomorrow." ”
With that, I accelerated straight away, and just as it was about to turn red, I drove the car across the intersection. Not long after, the car stopped outside Dr. Zhou's house, I got out of the car, the lights were still on in the house, I hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked inside.
But as soon as the door opened, Dr. Zhou and Jiang Jun were gone, and the sofa was empty. However, I distinctly heard the footsteps of someone in Dr. Zhou's house, and I followed the footsteps, and when I passed the corner of the hallway, another person almost bumped into me.
