Hunt down

The night came quickly, and the mountain was completely dark except for one or two factories halfway up the mountain, which were still lit with dim lights, which made the night lights on the beach on the back of the mountain even more eye-catching.

Zhou Jiming and Song Nai had already started to grope slowly in the forest at dusk, and moved to the back of the mountain near the foot of the mountain.Sure enough, this sea area is guarded. At the foot of the mountain, there is a blue and white prefabricated house almost every 100 meters. In front of every four or five houses, there will be 3-4 people walking back and forth with hunting dogs.

The two squatted in the bushes and observed quietly, without acting rashly.

There was nothing on the surface of the sea, and the waves beat on the beach one after another. The moonlight shone on the sea and shone brightly. The sound of the waves seemed to be hitting people's hearts, followed by continuous ups and downs.

Zhou Jiming stared at the sea, lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "That's not right..."

Song Nai was also scanning the surroundings, and then replied, "Well, there is indeed something wrong."

"ferry."

"ferry."

The two replied in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Jiming said, "With so many people guarding such a large coast, there must be very important property or goods here, and these very valuable things must need to be stored. There are neither large warehouses nor It's really strange that there are no containers, let alone the most important means of transportation on the coast."

"There is one more strange point," Song Nai said, "Since people who work on the coast inevitably have to deal with sea water frequently, it should be commonplace for them to go down and up, so they should wear clothes that are convenient for going into the sea.... ..but everyone who is patrolling here is almost all in dark formal attire, just like the attire of the group of people who kidnapped me that night, but they don't look like they are working on the coast."

"Well, and so far, I haven't seen anyone wearing light clothing that is easy to enter the water. They seem out of place with this place," Zhou Jiming suddenly fell silent after speaking, and then suddenly thought of something, he asked Song Nai: " You said that when you were tied up, you could hear the sound of the sea around that house?"

"Well," Song Nai thought back, "but that house is a wooden house, not a prefab house like this."

"That kind of place is probably often used to torture people, so it's impossible to be in such a crowded place. If it's near here, it must be in a dark corner where the light can't reach." Zhou Jiming moved his hand away With the branches and leaves blocking his eyes, he put one hand on the ground, poked his head out and looked towards the left and right ends of the sea area. It was dark on both sides, and he couldn't see anything.

"Shall we go and have a look?" Song Nai asked, staring at the back of Zhou Jiming's head.

"Don't go now." Zhou Jiming withdrew his body, "If it is discovered, it will startle the snake. Let's see again. If there is something tricky, it will always show its tail."

----

A suburban villa somewhere in Li City.

Blood splattered on the edge of the leather sofa, and everyone in the room was silent, except for constant punching, kicking and groaning.

The person sitting on the sofa was watching with great interest the big man curled up on the ground being beaten, the corners of his mouth raised mockingly, and the baseball bat in his hand was still stained with wet blood.

"You're a bitch! My brother put you next to me to protect me, and told you to listen to me. That's how you listened. That's how you let people go!"

The people on the ground were silent.

"Fortunately, my brother still treats you as a confidant, what a fucking confidant, he dug out his heart! Now it's okay, those stinky policemen hang around my house every day, like this and that, like bedbugs, annoying as hell ?”

"Cough cough!"

Someone kicked the man on the ground violently in the stomach, with great force, and the distance was very close, and the force did not fall at all. He rushed all over him and coughed up blood, but he still did not respond to the man who gave the order. people.

"Hand me lightly! This young master hasn't played enough yet! Stay calm!" the man shouted coldly, and then quickly softened his voice, like an ice pendant hanging under the eaves in winter, bringing With a sharp point, you don't know when it will fall, and it will plunge into your body with inertia, "Gang, why did you let that Boss Song go? Hesitating, don’t tell me you’re ‘pity the fragrance and cherish the jade’? I didn’t expect you to be so good!”

The movement of kicking people became quieter, and the shoulders of the person on the ground shrugged. He was a tough guy, and he didn't want to talk on his stomach, and he was exhausted trying to stand up.

"Pull him up!" the person on the sofa said impatiently.

Two people went up and roughly grabbed Ah Gang's arm, dragged him up from the ground, and made him kneel in front of that person.

But this man not only had a hard mouth, but also had hard knees. No matter how much he pressed down on him, he didn't kneel down. Instead, he sat on the ground with one knee propped up and seemed to be sitting leisurely.

The person sitting on the sofa gave a gesture, and the two people who were still fighting with A Gang withdrew. He held a baseball bat and stuck it on the ground, making hair-raising sounds from time to time, squinting at A Gang. outline.

Ah Gang was panting heavily, and the ups and downs of his chest gradually became gentle. He took a short time to stabilize his breath, and he looked at the person on the sofa without hesitation and said, "Second young master, I started from 15 I have been with the young master since I was [-] years old, and I have been with the young master for ten years, and I have no second thoughts about the Xue family, and I will also be with you."

The second young master Xue Zheng smiled disdainfully, "Is disobedience of orders also 'unambiguous'?"

Ah Gang lowered his head, "Eldest Young Master has always told us that when fighting with others, we must put it on the bright side, and we must not shoot in the back, and we must not bully the less, this is not—"

"It's nothing! You keep saying 'Young Master, Young Master', you are following me right now! Young Master, I will give you food! How dare you go against my wishes and tell me what my brother and I are here You talk about this and that, and you take his words as an imperial decree, so why don’t you listen to my brother’s words? At this time, my brother’s words won’t work anymore?”

After Xue Zheng finished speaking, he kicked Ah Gang's shoulder and kicked him sideways, "It's better to follow your own when you don't agree with whoever you want, and whoever you go with doesn't follow your wishes. !"

"Ah Gang dare not."

"Don't dare? You fucking people were raised by us to be dogs. Do you know what a dog is?" Xue Zheng rolled his eyes and inspected everyone standing around, "Dogs just wag their tails. Be obedient. Yes, you can do whatever your master asks you to do, and you die for your master, to us, you are nothing more than a hunting dog that can bite."

Aang lowered his head.

"Tell me." Xue Zheng picked up Ah Gang's chin with a baseball bat, "If you are disobedient, you will bite the owner's dog back. How should you deal with it?"

The corner of Ah Gang's mouth was still oozing blood, the blood on his chin was still wet, and some was stained on the baseball bat. Even so, Ah Gang remained silent, and he did not answer.

"Ah Chang," seeing Ah Gang not speaking for a long time, Xue Zheng called out to the person standing behind Ah Gang's left, "tell me what to do."

"Yes!" Ah Chang is not tall, but his voice is unusually loud, "Back to the second young master! It's time to kill him to avoid future troubles!"

"Oh! Well said!" Xue Zheng smiled with satisfaction, "Come here! Drag me out, A Gang and A Chang, throw it as far as you can, and stomp it into meatloaf is the best!"

"Second...Second Young Master" Ah Chang's voice was trembling, "Second Young Master, why am I! I...what did I do, Second Young Master!"

"Cut his tongue off!"

"Yes!"

Ah Chang was stunned by the anesthetic and dragged out, three or four people gathered together to try to take Ah Gang away.

"Second Young Master... Does Eldest Young Master know about this..." Ah Gang was dragged to stand up with scars all over his body.

Xue Zheng smiled, "Don't worry, you and Ah Chang disagreed, the two got into a fight, and in the end both were seriously injured and disappeared. I will tell my brother the truth about this matter."

A Gang's temples were bulging with blue veins, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched angrily, and he wanted to beat Xue Zheng, but someone stabbed him from behind and passed out.

----

"Do you want to rest?" Someone asked in a low voice in the bushes where you can't see your fingers, and there is the sound of clothes rubbing.

"It's okay, I'm not so weak."

"You are in good health. I don't want you to suffer with me."

"It's all here, can I let you suffer alone?"

"Then lean against me and squint for a while."

Someone smiled lightly, "I said Officer Zhou, it's dark and windy this night, how can I be at ease by your side, it's inevitable that you will plot evil later."

The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said, "Boss Song, who else have you talked to like this?"

Boss Song didn't answer, just chuckled softly.

"Ugh-"

"shush"

Zhou Jiming moved closer to the front to see the situation on the sea.

"It's a boat."Song Nai followed suit and talked.

"Yeah." Zhou Jiming looked down at his watch, "It's almost 3 o'clock in the morning."

"The sound is getting closer, I'm afraid it's this port." Song Nai said.

Not only Zhou Jiming and Song Nai heard the sound of the whistle, but also the patrolmen on the coast. They were very fast, and within 10 minutes, all the people and hounds retreated into the model house.

When they came out again, the hounds had muzzles on their mouths, and there seemed to be something extra on the patrolmen. They seemed to have picked up something and held it in their arms.

"Yes." Zhou Jiming took out a telescope from nowhere to observe the situation.

"Did they go back and get the guns?"

"Well, there should be something coming."

The honking came closer.

"I can see the bow of the ship." Zhou Jiming said.

Song Nai stared intently at the sea after hearing his words.

And as far as they could see, those patrolling on the coast were no longer wandering around on their own patrols, but were at a fixed distance from the sea, with a fixed distance between them. Just like that, it was like an artificial coastline. They stood in a fixed position with their guns in hand, facing the sea.

The ship entered the port. In the night, it was a small ship with a dark gray hull and English letters "X", "U" and "E" printed on the side. It was a search ship, and it seemed to be full of Cargo, covered with a tarp.

"Xue?" Zhou Jiming whispered.

"Is it Xue's boat?" Song Nai asked.

"X, U, and E are printed on the side of this freighter, and it's no accident that the pinyin of 'Xue' is capitalized."

The two didn't talk any more, they just stared at what was going to happen next.

The freighter stopped, and there were more than a dozen people on board, most of whom were full of flesh. Even in this cooler autumn, they were still wearing shirtless vests. After they got off, they talked to the leader of the patrol for a while, in fact, they kept talking. .

Can't tell what they're talking about.

About 10 minutes later, something seemed to be coming from the east. The people who were talking stopped talking and looked to the east.

Zhou Jiming took a binoculars and looked eastward. There was nothing on the dark coast, and the patrolling people still stood still, but there was something clear about their direction and the direction the guns were pointing at.

The telescope turned further east, and Zhou Jiming's breath became stagnant.

"What did you see?" Song Nai noticed that Zhou Jiming was not in the right state.

"People." Zhou Jiming replied, "Many people."

Song Nai pressed his body on the left side, turned a little more to the left side, and wanted to see more clearly what was in the east. The stone he was holding on to with his left hand was a little loose. He didn't pay attention, and his upper body suddenly slipped forward, and the stone rolled. down.

Song Nai stared at the darkness where the stone rolled into, and looked back at Zhou Jiming. Zhou Jiming was short of breath. He held Song Nai's arm with one hand, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Song Nai gently pushed Zhou Jiming's hand away, "I'm okay, you... just said, many people?"

Zhou Jiming handed the telescope to Song Nai, "Yes."

Song Nai took the telescope and looked towards the east.

As Zhou Jiming said, many people lined up in two rows, their hands were tied, and they were pushed one by one towards the direction of the freighter. Judging from the length of the queue, there were at least 50 people in this group. personal.

The guns of those patrolling were pointed at them all the time.

"I have a child." Song Nai said, "It looks like it's only 7 or 8 years old."

Zhou Jiming frowned and said nothing.

"No... Most of these people... Most of them are children... The oldest one is probably less than 20..." Song Nai remembered something, "They want to bring these children Are we going to sell it?"

Song Nai turned his head to look at Zhou Jiming. At some point, he took out his mobile phone and started recording, "What are they trying to do to these children, I'm afraid they have to ask their boss."

"This boat can't let them leave, right?" Song Nai asked.

Zhou Jiming didn't reply.

"Go and contact the person you should contact. I'll watch over here. If there's any situation, I'll call you." Song Nai touched Zhou Jiming's arm.

Zhou Jiming looked at him with a look of shock of "how could I let you here alone".

"Officer Zhou, I will pay attention."

"Boss Song, I don't believe what you said at all. Everything is possible in this forest at night, and you are recovering from a serious illness. Do you really think I will leave you here alone?"

Song Nai winked, "What did Police Officer Zhou say? It's not safe for you to go down the mountain by yourself? You took half the risk, and besides, the whereabouts of those children is not as safe as mine? "

"It's not comparable." Zhou Jiming didn't hesitate, "For me, it's not."

Zhou Jiming reiterated again.

"Ah!" A scream came from the beach, and the two hurriedly looked towards the shore.

The crowd became chaotic, trying to escape in all directions, but they were all tied to a rope, and no one could escape, and fell down while pulling each other.

Among the people who fell and struggled, a person had already fallen to the ground and was motionless. Above that person stood a patrolman with a gun pointed at his head, and the muzzle was smoking.

Probably trying to escape, he was shot to death.

Clenching his teeth, Zhou Jiming suddenly took Song Nai's hand, as if he was about to leave soon.

Song Nai held Zhou Jiming's hand back, looking at Zhou Jiming with tender eyes.

"Once upon a time, I was like them." Song Nai stroked Zhou Jiming's brows, as if caressing his heart, "My life does not belong to me, and I let others kill me. I am lucky. There are always kind people helping me, so now I I can live like this, but I can't live like this."

Zhou Jiming looked into Song Nai's eyes. The eyes were as calm as the sea at night, without any waves, and could accommodate everything, but they were like glass beads, as if they would shatter when touched, which made people want to cherish them very much.

"I used to think about what kind of person Zhu Bing would be if she were still alive."

Song Nai traced the end of Zhou Jiming's eyebrows with her fingertips, moved down her cheeks, and touched her chin lightly, "She should become a great person, maybe a policeman, maybe a lawyer, maybe a reporter, she will definitely Running at the forefront, doing everything I can to expose the crime, not afraid of sacrifice. I used to be too timid, afraid of death, afraid of life, afraid of not being loved, and even more afraid of being loved. I spent many years in a daze, and now—well. "

Zhou Jiming covered Song Nai's mouth.

"Once you soften, I can't beat you." Zhou Jiming said, fumbling for something in his pocket.

"I'll save the rest for later. This is for you, take it with you." Zhou Jiming handed Song Nai a folding knife that he carried with him, "Be sure to keep in touch at all times."

"Understood, you have to be careful."

Song Nai felt Zhou Jiming's heat in his palm, and his body temperature was also on the folding knife, and he disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye and went down the mountain.

The group of remaining children on the coast gradually approached the freighter between chaos and death.

----

Ah Gang woke up from the bumps, his body was still weak, he was sure that he was in the car in a trance, there were two other people in the car besides him, and they were talking.

"You talk so fast! That bastard Ah Chang thought he had licked the second young master's hair, but he ended up licking the poison that he put in the bowl. Who is to blame for rushing to eat it? It's also a bit of a back, you say that?" Even if the second young master doesn't ask Ah Chang, maybe you and I will have the same ending, and I'm still cold all over!"

"Who says it's not! The second young master is used to uncertainty, but who knows that this time he is so ruthless among himself, and the eldest young master is indeed more kind."

"I'll go, don't you think the young master looks even scarier? The smiles on his face are usually fake. You don't even know when he is angry!"

"But the young master won't do anything to his opponents! Besides, you said that Ah Gang has been with the Xue family for so many years, and he is about to kill him in a blink of an eye. You said who can he talk to for reasoning after all these years, no one will listen to his grievances!"

The person who spoke seemed to look back at Ah Gang, and his voice was much clearer.

"It's also his fault for being disobedient. He insisted on letting him go. He knew that the Second Young Master would not deal with that person. Alas...why bother..."

Ah Gang thought that whether it was the young master or the Xue family, it was impossible for him to go back, but he couldn't just die like this, he only had one life, how could he be slaughtered so casually.

His hands were tied behind his back, probably because he had been anesthetized before, so he relaxed his vigilance, and his feet were free.

Xue Zheng's subordinates usually have a habit of driving. Because they are worried that there will be a car accident or that the enemy will find the door while driving, so in order to facilitate jumping out of the car, the door is not locked inside when driving, and it will open as soon as you push it.

Thinking about it, Ah Gang slowly curled up his body and moved towards the car door. Because he was too big, he reached the car door without moving his head twice. Looking up, he could see the door handle in front of him.

The two people in the front seat were still chatting enthusiastically, completely oblivious to the fact that A Gang at the back had started biting the inside handle with his teeth.

The speed of the car was not too slow, and the person sitting in the co-pilot felt that someone kicked his feet on the back of the seat. Force rushed out.

"I-damn-!" The person in the front seat opened his mouth wide and cursed with rounded eyes, "Fuck! People are running away!"

"squeak--!"

Ah Gang, who was lying on the ground, heard the sound of sudden braking behind him, he didn't care too much, he just put one foot on the ground, used the strength of his knees and thighs to stand up, and then ran in the opposite direction, he ran side by side. Observe the terrain.

He had never been to this place before. There were trees on both sides, and the street lights were quite bright. At first glance, there were no people around here, and there were no vehicles passing by.

Temporarily unable to find a hiding place, Ah Gang could only bury his head and run forward desperately, the car behind also chased him, the tearing sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground stimulated Ah Gang's eardrums.

He was hit twice on the head with a baseball bat, was punched and kicked until he was about to lose consciousness, was given anesthesia, and jumped out of the car just now. Now his eyes are actually blurred, and he can only rely on his thoughts to let him go. Don't stop with your feet, tell yourself "run forward, don't stop."

Stop and die, stop and there is no hope....

can't stop...

can't stop...

cannot--

"Oh!"

He was hit by something.

It must be the car, he thought.

The blood in his body was draining, he felt hot and humid on his neck, and his body was twitching.

"Brother Zeng, you hit someone!" A voice shouted.

Then there was the sound of leather shoes being wiped, and he saw a person standing above him in a daze. To be precise, it should be a man. That man was talking, what did he say...

"I'm still alive, send me to the hospital."

He seemed to say so.

----

It has been about half an hour since Zhou Jiming left, and half of the children have not boarded the boat. Before boarding the boat, each of them has to undergo some checks under the boat. solid.

Song Nai was typing what he saw on his mobile phone, intending to send it to Zhou Jiming. While thinking, he heard something passing through the bushes nearby, "rustling".

Song Nai locked the screen of his phone, put his upper body in his hands, put away his binoculars, and planned to find a place to hide it first, but the moment he finished packing up and turned around, his forehead touched a cold and hard gun barrel.

"I said, why the hell is there always reflections in the forest, but I didn't expect there to be a fox hiding there."

The person holding the gun said so.

The author has something to say: I am late!

Happy New Year, good health everyone!
