In fact, after Rosalind led the group along the forest path for 40 minutes, everyone's mood was not very pleasant.

The mist in the mountains had long since lifted, the sun had become extremely strong, and the mountain roads were rugged, except for the relaxed smile on her face all the time.

Lucy whispered to Tim and complained, "I think she's playing with us, maybe she just wants us to go out with us." ”

Tim agreed, "Yes, it's her calculation to play LAPD around and in the palm of her hand." ”

Sean Delmont looked righteous and awe-inspiring: "As long as the remains of relatives can be recovered for three families, why not let her enjoy it." ”

"Then Your Excellency the Honorable Assistant Prosecutor will be able to make a big show on your evening news?"

Jack, who was more than ten steps behind them, whispered and joked to Tyler Kelly.

Tyler Kelly's breathing was a little short, there was an extra layer of sweat beads on his face, and an extra layer of blush on his cheeks, which made him look particularly delicate, "Take what you need, don't you?" ”

"Take a break, there's still a long way to go." Rosalind stopped in a small clearing.

Superintendent Gray picked up the walkie-talkie: "Rest in place, all personnel are on hold." ”

Jack took two bottles of mineral water out of his backpack and threw them to Tyler Kelly and the cameraman, opening one himself and taking two sips.

John also took off his backpack and took out the mineral water, and Rosalind lifted her hands that were handcuffed by the long chain and motioned for John to feed her.

Just when John was a little at a loss, Nila, who was on the side, rolled her eyes and took the mineral water from his hand.

At this time, Jack's keen perception made him aware of unusual movements around him, and asked Superintendent Gray in a loud voice, "Do we have other manpower on the periphery besides SWAT?" ”

Superintendent Gray Gang Niu drank a whole bottle of water, and was a little puzzled when he heard this: "No, what did you find?" ”

Jack's sharp gaze passed through the woods, and there was a faint figure twenty or thirty meters away: "There seems to be someone over there, but it looks like they are wearing civilian clothes." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Jack's finger in confusion, and suddenly a gunshot rang out, and bullets flew over Rosalind's head.

John knocked her down, and the rest of the group looked for cover, except for Sean Del Monte, who had never experienced a shootout, standing stupidly in a daze.

Almost at the same time as the gunshot rang out, Jack grabbed Tyler Kelly's arm and dragged her behind a thick tree stump, beckoning her cameraman to get down quickly.

"Stay here and don't move."

Before he could finish speaking, another shot rang out, and the bullet hit a tree trunk next to Del Monte, causing him to let out a cry of pain and fall to the ground.

"Ah, I've been shot, save me!"

The police officers ignored him, looked for cover, and fired back.

"Stay honest!"

Jack gave Taylor Kelly another shout, looked up to greet Tim, and made a gesture to clip the two loaves separately.

Angela's pregnancy is still hidden from everyone, and now the one who has the most tacit understanding with him is Tim, who once fought side by side.

Tim nodded in understanding, bent down and disappeared into the left side of the woods, Jack burrowed into the right woods, pointed two fingers at Angela, pointed two fingers to his eyes, and pointed in the direction where Tim disappeared, Angela nodded knowingly.

Jack and Tim quickly outflanked the gunman, a middle-aged black man with a carbine, nervously hiding behind a large tree to change magazines, unaware that anyone was behind them.

"Put down the gun, put the gun on the ground, and give up resistance!"

Jack and Tim shouted at the same time, and the officers in front of the gunman stopped firing when they heard the sound to avoid accidental injury.

"With your head in your hands and your fingers crossed, you're arrested."

Tim held the gun and stood still, and Jack put away Glock, took out the handcuffs and cuffed the middle-aged black man who was kneeling on the ground.

"Is there anyone else but you?"

The blackman who was tortured calmed down, and his tone revealed a sense of desperation.

"No, I'm the only one."

Lucy stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground, and asked stupidly, "You came here to save Rosalind?" ”

The middle-aged black man scoffed: "Save her? I'm here to kill her, and she murdered my wife! ”

——

Dividing line -——

In the glade, Zoe didn't wait for the police car to stop, then jumped out of the car and walked quickly towards the group.

"What happened?"

SWAT Team Leader Hong Duo's face was a little unpleasant: "There is a guy who has built a camouflage net to avoid the sight of my subordinates. ”

Rosie pointed to the middle-aged black man who was escorted into the police car, "His name is Peter, and the third deceased killed by Rosalind is his wife, and the police have only found half of her body so far." ”

John on the side muttered to himself: "The family first lost the mistress, and now the man is in prison again." ”

Taylor Kelly used the connection between the interview car and the camera to complete the live broadcast, and stood aside very obediently without making a sound, looking at Zoe without blinking.

Jack glanced at her and asked Rosie in a low voice, "Do you think Rosalind arranged all this?" ”

Rosie looked up at the crazy old woman who was re-escorted into the armored car, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you notice her eyes just now?" She's enjoying it all, and the location you've been attacked was definitely deliberately leaked to Peter by Rosalind's accomplices. ”

"She's a madman, and if that Peter had better marksmanship, she'd be dead by now." John was somewhat incomprehensible.

Jack felt that he had underestimated the woman a little before: "Maybe Peter was chosen because someone investigated his lack of experience in shooting." ”

That's when Superintendent Gray and Delmont walked over with a bandage on his head.

"Maybe it should end here today." Superintendent Gray suggests to Zoe.

"Impossible!" Delmont immediately objected.

"Listen to me, Superintendent Anderson, if it is stopped now, next week, maybe next month, this kind of operation will have to be done again, and by then, the scene will be at least twice as big as it is now, and there will be countless media reporters surrounding this place."

Zoe rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and had to admit that this guy had a point.

"Then go on, everyone be careful, and I'll find a way to send some more police over."

At this time, it was noon, and everyone had eaten a little at will, ready to continue their departure.

Seeing that Rosie had followed this time, Jack was a little surprised and looked down at the expensive leather shoes on his feet.

"Let's make a bet that in less than fifteen minutes this time, Rosalind will be able to take us to the place where the body is buried." Rosie shrugged.

As the group continued through the woods, Rosalind babbled on and on trying to talk to John.

"Well, I've been thinking that you saved my life just now, and I haven't thanked you yet. That Peter's wife's face was almost peeled off by me, and you are still willing to cover me for such a vicious me. Why? ”

This time, even the good old man no longer hid the disgust in his heart: "The duty is, I am just doing my job, not because this person is you or someone else." ”
