No such person [criminal investigation]
Chapter 40
In Xu Ci's SUV, the owner of the hotel was sitting in the passenger seat, followed by two waitresses in the back seat.
The three of them hadn't been suspicious of Xu Ci before, and followed him into the car naturally.
On the one hand, of course they do this because they want to get money, on the other hand, they are bored anyway, and they are willing to accompany a high-quality customer like Xu Ci to visit nearby scenic spots and souvenir shops.
They never expected that not long after the car drove out of the hotel, Xu Ci stopped the car, threw three ropes, took out a gun, and said to the boss in the passenger seat: "Use the rope to kill the two people behind you. The hands were tied separately. No one is allowed to call the police, otherwise I will shoot immediately."
The boss had a gun pressed against his forehead, so he had no choice but to do so. Trembling all over, sweating on his forehead, he leaned from the co-pilot to the rear and tied up his two employees.
After that, Xu Ci tied his hands with a third rope.
After doing all this, Xu Ci asked them not to make any moves, and then he continued to drive the car forward, out of the extremely small Jishui Island, to the main road outside, and then drove up a high slope all the way.
There is a lighthouse and several concentration boxes scattered on the hillside, facing the direction of the sea.
The car stopped in front of the lighthouse.The three people watched in horror as Xu Ci got out of the car, but they drew their guns and fired three shots into the sky, and called the police over with their horns.
What does he want to do?Revenge on society?
Wait, why are there so many policemen here?
Before he had time to think deeply, Xu Ci said, "Get out of the car now, walk to the front of the car, and squat down one by one!"
The three had to follow suit.
Because their hands were tied, they struggled to open the doors, and it took them a long time to get to the front of the car.
During this time, the boss mustered up the courage to look up, only to see Xu Ci looking away, with a cold expression and a little hesitation.
Before Xu Ci turned his gaze back, the boss hurriedly turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw many cars coming one after another, the leader of which was an off-road vehicle.The off-road vehicle sped up and stopped about 200 meters away from them. Immediately afterwards, a tall and slender man got out of the vehicle. His facial features were cold and his eyes were serious. Xu Ci.
It appears the man is a policeman.
The police came to rescue everyone!
Realizing this, he took a deep breath, and the boss ran towards the police.
But there was a "bang" sound, and the bullet flew towards him, almost brushing his legs and sinking into the mud beside him. The boss immediately knelt down in fright, and his whole body shook uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Xu Ci's bone-cold voice that seemed to come from hell behind him. "One more step, and I will kill you. Do what you say."
"Xie Qiao? Why did you appear here? What is it?" Qi Zang said, looking up at Xu Ci who was on the top of the hill, "Release him immediately!"
Xu Ci's eyes were cold, and he held a gun in his hand and confronted Qi Zangyao.Then he looked around, as if confirming how many police forces were surrounding him, and finally his gaze stayed on the container at the top of the hill.
He said: "I'm on the top of a slope, the terrain is high, and the surrounding area is desolate... I choose to act in this place, of course I have a purpose. You can't arrange snipers to go to a suitable sniper point to try to kill me. You can only listen to me At your mercy. Captain Qi, come, come closer to me, I have something to talk to you."
Hearing this, Qi Zang put down his gun, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and approached Xu Ci step by step. "Okay, whatever you want to talk about, our police can talk to you. You can even take me hostage directly. I put down my gun and let you hold me hostage. In exchange, you release those three innocent people. OK Is it?"
"No. I'll walk another 100 meters towards me, and I'll talk to you again. Otherwise——" Xu Ci raised his gun, and his tone became more threatening.
"Okay! Don't move the gun! I will do exactly what you said. Mr. Xie, please calm down. The matter has come to this point, and your consequence is to go to jail. If you really kill someone, there will be no room for anything!"
Qi Zang approached Xu Ci step by step with a tone of persuasion to the prisoner. "I don't know why you suddenly made such a request. If you are dissatisfied with the society or encounter any difficulties in life, we can help you solve them. Don't take such an extreme approach—"
"Without further ado!"
"Okay, I won't speak. If you want to say something to us, just speak."
What Qi Zang got was a period of silence, and a look that was obviously very cold, but seemed to have infinite meaning.
The sky is boundless, and in the distance is an endless blue ocean. A round of small and medium-sized freighters has slowly arrived and docked on the shore, leaving a section of white waves that are gradually dissipating.
The poor and backward Jishui Island is surrounded by desolation.
Even this soil slope has been left unattended. I don’t know how long those crumbling centralized boxes have been placed. Plastic bottles, snack bags and other garbage piles are everywhere.
Holding a gun in his hand, Xu Ci stood in such a sad background.
He became a gangster and took three hostages for unknown reasons.
In front of Qi Zang is Xu Ci, behind him are Li Zhengzheng, Bai Shuwei and other colleagues who are ready to support at any time.
On Jishui Island, which is farther away, the unfinished building stands majestically.In terms of distance, it is almost exactly halfway between the slope and the pier.There are policemen who have ambushed in advance and disguised as commercial investigation teams.
All of them are waiting for Qi Zang.As long as he gave an order, they will make the next move.
As for the other direction of the pier, there are two homestays, each of which hides a murderer with many crimes.
At this moment, everyone with different positions is sharpening their swords and has their own calculations.
The bowstring has been stretched to the extreme, ready to be triggered at any time.
Qi Zang could feel that the life and death of many people may be controlled by his own thoughts.The responsibility on his shoulders became very heavy.
At this moment, his cell phone was ringing non-stop, his teammates were waiting for his instructions, Jinning City Bureau received the news, and Bureau Zhang and Deputy Bureau Rong were anxiously waiting for him to report the progress and explain the situation...
But the world in front of him is very simple, there is only one Xuci.
——Xu Ci, alone, holding a gun, and besieged on all sides.
At that moment Xu Ci seemed to have turned into an isolated island, and the ocean not far behind him further highlighted his helplessness.No one could hear his cries for help.
Qi Zang took another step closer to him. "Mr. Xie, why don't you speak? If you have any appeals or difficulties, just tell us. We will definitely solve it. You have been silent all the time. I have reasonable reasons to suspect that you are delaying time—"
"I didn't delay. You, you—" Xu Ci looked at the three of them, "follow me to the top of the slope. This top of the slope... what I want to say is about this top of the slope. Back then, my friend was killed by someone Killed here, but, but..."
"Your friend died here? Didn't the murderer find him? Do you want the police to find the murderer for you by holding these three people hostage?"
"Yes. If I don't do this, no one will help me. Everyone says he committed suicide here, I don't believe it... I don't believe it! You police must give me an account! His death, all of you police have Responsibility! Come here all of you... If one is missing... I will kill one!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Qi Zang's headset.
That was Tong Wei, his teammate in the unfinished building, waiting for his instructions——
"Qi team, is there something serious outside the island? I happen to have a powerful sniper here, let's go to support immediately!"
The lives of three innocent people are now at stake.
If the prisoner escapes, he still has a chance to be caught, but if any one of the three dies, he will have no chance to live again.The priority of rescuing people must be higher than arresting prisoners, not to mention that these prisoners are only suspects, and there is no hard evidence that can convict them.
Tong Wei knew that under such circumstances, all police forces would be given priority to ensure the safety of the three people.He is ready to lead all the team members to evacuate the unfinished building and go to the slope to support the rest of his colleagues in arresting Xie Qiao.
Tong Wei did not expect that he would receive such a message from Qi Zang: "Don't come over, just stare at the direction of the pier. The two suspects haven't shown up yet, they must be watching the situation on our side. We will let them I know that all the police forces were indeed attracted by Xie Qiao. You must not expose it in advance. The cargo ship should not stay for long, remember to make a quick decision! When you officially implement the arrest operation, give me a message!"
After receiving this message, Tong Wei really didn't understand. Just as he was about to ask, he received another message from Qi Zang: "Amendment, you don't need to come for reinforcements, but you have to pretend to come here. You guys leave the unfinished building immediately, Drive away, there is a road to the north of the entrance of the island that runs directly from the periphery to the pier. You drive to the entrance of the island first, so that the suspects think you have left, and then quickly go around to the pier from the north to arrest people!
"In addition, when you see Huang Yuxin at the pier and before you order the team members to formally arrest people, tell me through the headset immediately. This is very important! It is related to the lives of our colleagues. Remember!"

the other side.The back door of Shirley B&B.
Blood Oriole held the mobile phone in one hand and the switch that could remotely control the explosives in the other, waiting here.
The switch had been taken away by Xu Ci before, and Xueying was also tied up by Xu Ci.
But fortunately, Xu Ci was concerned about safety.
In order to prevent Ping An from committing suicide, Xu Ci let her go, returned the switch to her, and finally tied the explosives willingly
There are straps on both ends of the explosive, and there are special buttons at the end of the strap. Once closed, it cannot be opened. If it is opened by force, the explosive will be detonated.
Therefore, once Xu Ci tied the explosives to his body, he couldn't take them off.
If he didn't want to be killed by the bomb, Xu Ci had to go to the police to delay Xueying's time until she boarded the ship.
In order to delay the time, he had to find some reason to negotiate with the police, to show that he did have other purposes for kidnapping the hostages, so that they would not think that he was trying to make a fuss and buy time for Xueying and Shang Boran to escape.
Worried that Xu Ci would tip off the news, Xueying took out a headset for him to wear when he left.Through the headset, she can monitor Xu Ci in real time.As soon as she found out that he had damaged the headset, or passed a message to the police, she would press the switch to detonate the bomb at any time.
At this moment, through the slightly noisy radio waves, Xue Ying listened to all the conversations between Xu Ci and Qi Zang.
She thought it was a little funny, because the story Xu Ci made up for the police was really bad.
At the same time, she actually felt a little regretful——
Xu Ci, who was betrayed once, still doesn't have a long memory... From then on, he should understand that being a good person doesn't last long, and he should be a bad guy through and through.
After a while, the person Xue Ying waited for came.
That was when Ping An drove around the desolate island and then returned to the back door of the hotel.
The moment he parked safely, Xueying immediately stepped forward. "How about it?"
"Don't worry, the police were all led by Xu Ci." Ping An said, "Including the unfinished building. After seeing Xu Ci today, he didn't tell me the specific arrangement of the police. But that building is so unfinished. After a long time, a few people suddenly appeared to investigate... It's unusual. But it doesn't matter, they all evacuated anyway. The boat has arrived, and I will take you to pick up Shang Boran first, and then send you to the pier."
"Okay." Xue Ying got on the co-pilot.
Soon, the car drove to the hotel next door to pick up Shang Boran and headed for the pier.
The cargo ship has docked, and there is not much time left for them.
Xue Ying was still a little uneasy on the road, and couldn't help holding the switch firmly in her hand, and said a threatening word to Xu Ci through the headset.
"Xu Ci, don't play tricks, or I will immediately press the switch and blow you up!"
Hearing this sentence, Ping An in the driver's seat frowned to express his disapproval. "Xue Ying, don't be fooled. Xu Ci's doing this... means that his future is gone. I'm already sorry for him, you..."
"Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm fine, he'll be fine." Xue Ying pursed her lips, "I'm just a little worried... the policeman in charge of my case this time, is his surname Qi? Familiar, do you know what relationship he has with that policeman?"
Pingan said: "It's nothing special. There was a case before, and Xu Ci was one of the original suspects, and the two got to know each other like that. You still have to think about what to do when you get on the boat. If the coast guard is fully mobilized—— "
Ping An's voice was full of worry, but Xueying turned her head and glanced at the direction of the island's exit. "I have a bad feeling...Xu Ci used to go to the Public Security University after all, and many of his classmates were criminal police. They didn't know each other before, right? Otherwise, why would the police let him come here first?"
"Don't worry too much. Xu Ci will tell me everything. But I have never heard that he had any relationship with any of his former classmates. His classmates are all policemen, and he doesn't want any policeman to discover his identity. He will not contact those A classmate. Besides, you have a switch in your hand, and his life is in your hands. What are you worried about?"
"I, I also... I don't know. What I developed in this kind of life... Maybe it's intuition. Forget it. Let's go to the pier first.
"Brother, thank you this time. I didn't expect to meet you here. If it weren't for you... I would be finished. I will contact you after I go out. As for my parents, I will be gone."
"They never abandoned you. Why do you have such a perception? Are people talking nonsense?"
"It's not important. The important thing is... I can't go back."
The car quickly drove to the pier.
Seeing that the cargo ship was close at hand, Xue Ying finally let go of her hanging heart.
It's been hard to come this far.As long as she gets on the boat and finds the snakehead at the next location, she has a great hope of escaping abroad!
After getting out of the car, Xueying and Shang Boran looked at each other, they smiled at each other, and then walked towards the cargo ship together.
But at this moment, several screeching brakes sounded one after another.
Xueying's heart was beating wildly, and she turned around suddenly, and saw several policemen dressed like business people get out of the car one after another, and then pointed their guns at herself.
It's those people from the unfinished building who have gone and returned!
They should have gone to support and rescue the hostages, why did they come here suddenly!
"Huang Yuxin, Shang Boran, you two are suspected of murdering Cui Junjie and Qin Chunlan, and now you are being arrested according to law. Please don't resist. Resistance is futile!"
"Xu Ci, you traitor, go to hell!"
When Xue Ying was angry, after yelling such a sentence, regardless of the safety of the driver's seat of the car next to him, there was a panic full of "Don't!!!", and he pressed the switch of the explosives——
·
half a minute ago.
The two people on the slope were still confronting each other.
Xu Ci retreated step by step, while Qi Zang approached step by step. The two had reached the position of the container on the slope top, and they entered the container further forward.
"The police here have already arrived. If you think we are wrong, you can scold us however you want. Let the hostages go first, is that okay?"
"Really? Let me count... how many policemen have come."
The next moment, Qi Zang heard the news from Tong Wei in his headset that they were going to arrest Xue Ying immediately, his face changed drastically, and he quickly mouthed to Xu Ci: "Run!!!"
Hearing this, Xu Ci immediately threw the gun in his hand, crushed the earphones hanging from his ears, and shouted at the three panicked "hostages", "There's a bomb, run!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Ci quickly turned around and jumped into the concentration box behind him at an extremely fast speed.As soon as his feet touched the ground of the concentration box, Xu Ci's next move was to turn around and close the door.
He never expected that when he turned around, he saw Qi Zang following in, and quickly and steadily helped him close the rather heavy iron door.
"Click", that was the sound of the blood warbler pressing the switch on the distant pier.
Inside the tightly closed container, Qi Zang and Xu Ci looked at each other. The distance between the two was very close, and they could both hear the heartbeat of the other as if it was about to jump out of the chest.
"Boom."
"Boom!"
"Boom!!!"
……
—the bomb did not explode.
Xu Ci took a deep breath, leaning against the cold iron sheet of the container, and slowly slid on the ground.His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.At this time, he only made a bowing movement, and sweat slid down from the broken hair on his forehead, and then rolled down to the ground.
Sitting on the ground and panting for a few breaths, Xu Ci suddenly stood up as if thinking of something, walked straight up to Qi Zang, picked up his collar and walked forward step by step, "dang" Qi Zang against the iron door.
"Qi Zang, are you crazy?!"
Xu Ci's face was cold, his eyes were serious, and his voice was so hoarse that he was always calm and calm. He roared in a rare way, "I don't care if I don't have a family. But you have parents and friends waiting for you! Do you have a sense of responsibility? What if the dynamite really blows up?! What will your parents do?! Who told you to come in with me?!!"
"First, I have a common sense of physics and know that this grounded iron container can form a 'Faraday cage'. The switch of the remote sensing explosive transmits a signal through radio waves, and then triggers an explosion. This Faraday cage can shield the signal, so the bomb will not Detonated by a switch.
"second--"
Stretching out his hand, Qi Zang put his palm on Xu Ci's forehead, wiped his sweat there, then lowered his index finger, slightly hooked the bridge of his nose, and finally put it on his cheek, making a gesture that seemed to be Hold his face up.
Qi Zang said in a gentle and reassuring tone: "Xiaoci, what you said is wrong. Who said you have no family and friends? I am your family and your friend. You are not alone.
"Xiaoci, if you die, someone will be sad for your departure, someone will miss you forever...you will never be alone. If you selfishly want to die alone, that is also an irresponsible behavior. so now……
"Can you trust me?"
Looking deeply at Qi Zang, Xu Ci's chest heaved violently, and it took a while before the breath that was suffocated in his chest was released.
He unknowingly loosened his grip on Qi Zang's collar, and his eyes were slightly flushed. "No one can guarantee at what moment the Blood Warbler will press the button, but if we close the door one step later, the Faraday cage will not be formed... You will be blown to pieces with me. Have you considered the consequences?"
Qi Zang actually smiled. "That's possible. But I'm still confident in my speed. You can also trust me with your back. Don't fight everything by yourself."
Qi Zangxin said that the worst outcome of this matter... seems to be nothing more than two people dying together.
That's actually not bad.
It's better than him going to Qiongbi and falling to Huangquan alone, and he still can't find Xu Ci.
After a long time, Xu Ci's hand slowly dropped from Qi Zang's neckline. Looking into Qi Zang's eyes, he suddenly felt that the crisis, tension, and fear that were on the line of life and death just now... were all far away from him.
Not long ago, when he drove the "three hostages" away from the exit of Jishui Island, he deliberately lowered the window and passed in front of Qi Zang.
He couldn't tell Qi Zang, because Xue Ying could hear his voice through the headset.
So at that moment, he mouthed something to Qi Zang——
"I have a bomb on me."
Xu Ci had already seen containers scattered on the slope, so he parked the car there.
After Qi Zang approached, not only was he slowly leading the "hostage" towards the direction of the container, but his eyes were also constantly pointing.
When Qi Zang saw the mouth shape of "bomb" and received hints from the container, he would naturally understand everything, which Xu Ci could have expected.
But what Xu Ci didn't expect was that Qi Zang, who hadn't seen each other for eight years and hardly got along with him, could believe in him without reservation, and could cooperate with him so seamlessly——
He has a well-planned plan. On the one hand, he guessed that he was connected to a headset, and tacitly cooperated with him in acting, and on the other hand, he was able to arrange for the police on the other side of the unfinished building to act in a scene of going back and forth...
What Xu Ci least expected was that Qi Zang could follow in and face the possible explosion with himself.
In the past, Xu Ci most believed in justice and fairness.
Everything he encountered in Myanmar eight years ago put him on a seesaw.
Ping'an's betrayal made him tilt towards the direction where human nature is inherently evil and people around him will always betray him. When he was about to walk to the other end of the seesaw, Qi Zang appeared, taking him back to the past step by step.
It was Qi Zang who told him that he still had someone he could trust and who could completely hand over his back.
No one spoke in the small container for a while.
The two stood quietly and looked at each other, the only thing they could hear was each other's breathing.
In the past eight years, Xu Ci has been a dream of Qi Zang.
Qi Zang is a hidden symbol in Xu Ci's youth.
Even if they have reunited, for each other, the degree of each other's truth is very limited.
Until this moment, they all felt for the first time that the person in front of them was so close to them that they could touch them with their hands.
A moment later, the voices of Li Zhengzheng and others came from outside the container——
"Boss, are you okay?!"
"What's going on inside the boss! We'll come in right away—"
Hearing these words, the corners of Xu Ci's mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled at Qi Zang.This smile hides endless fatigue, but it finally has the meaning of trust.
Then Xu Ci raised his hands and looked at Qi Zang with calm and steady eyes.
He said softly: "Officer Qi, handcuff me. Now I am your prisoner."
The three of them hadn't been suspicious of Xu Ci before, and followed him into the car naturally.
On the one hand, of course they do this because they want to get money, on the other hand, they are bored anyway, and they are willing to accompany a high-quality customer like Xu Ci to visit nearby scenic spots and souvenir shops.
They never expected that not long after the car drove out of the hotel, Xu Ci stopped the car, threw three ropes, took out a gun, and said to the boss in the passenger seat: "Use the rope to kill the two people behind you. The hands were tied separately. No one is allowed to call the police, otherwise I will shoot immediately."
The boss had a gun pressed against his forehead, so he had no choice but to do so. Trembling all over, sweating on his forehead, he leaned from the co-pilot to the rear and tied up his two employees.
After that, Xu Ci tied his hands with a third rope.
After doing all this, Xu Ci asked them not to make any moves, and then he continued to drive the car forward, out of the extremely small Jishui Island, to the main road outside, and then drove up a high slope all the way.
There is a lighthouse and several concentration boxes scattered on the hillside, facing the direction of the sea.
The car stopped in front of the lighthouse.The three people watched in horror as Xu Ci got out of the car, but they drew their guns and fired three shots into the sky, and called the police over with their horns.
What does he want to do?Revenge on society?
Wait, why are there so many policemen here?
Before he had time to think deeply, Xu Ci said, "Get out of the car now, walk to the front of the car, and squat down one by one!"
The three had to follow suit.
Because their hands were tied, they struggled to open the doors, and it took them a long time to get to the front of the car.
During this time, the boss mustered up the courage to look up, only to see Xu Ci looking away, with a cold expression and a little hesitation.
Before Xu Ci turned his gaze back, the boss hurriedly turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw many cars coming one after another, the leader of which was an off-road vehicle.The off-road vehicle sped up and stopped about 200 meters away from them. Immediately afterwards, a tall and slender man got out of the vehicle. His facial features were cold and his eyes were serious. Xu Ci.
It appears the man is a policeman.

Realizing this, he took a deep breath, and the boss ran towards the police.
But there was a "bang" sound, and the bullet flew towards him, almost brushing his legs and sinking into the mud beside him. The boss immediately knelt down in fright, and his whole body shook uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Xu Ci's bone-cold voice that seemed to come from hell behind him. "One more step, and I will kill you. Do what you say."
"Xie Qiao? Why did you appear here? What is it?" Qi Zang said, looking up at Xu Ci who was on the top of the hill, "Release him immediately!"

He said: "I'm on the top of a slope, the terrain is high, and the surrounding area is desolate... I choose to act in this place, of course I have a purpose. You can't arrange snipers to go to a suitable sniper point to try to kill me. You can only listen to me At your mercy. Captain Qi, come, come closer to me, I have something to talk to you."
Hearing this, Qi Zang put down his gun, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and approached Xu Ci step by step. "Okay, whatever you want to talk about, our police can talk to you. You can even take me hostage directly. I put down my gun and let you hold me hostage. In exchange, you release those three innocent people. OK Is it?"
"No. I'll walk another 100 meters towards me, and I'll talk to you again. Otherwise——" Xu Ci raised his gun, and his tone became more threatening.
"Okay! Don't move the gun! I will do exactly what you said. Mr. Xie, please calm down. The matter has come to this point, and your consequence is to go to jail. If you really kill someone, there will be no room for anything!"
Qi Zang approached Xu Ci step by step with a tone of persuasion to the prisoner. "I don't know why you suddenly made such a request. If you are dissatisfied with the society or encounter any difficulties in life, we can help you solve them. Don't take such an extreme approach—"
"Without further ado!"
"Okay, I won't speak. If you want to say something to us, just speak."
What Qi Zang got was a period of silence, and a look that was obviously very cold, but seemed to have infinite meaning.
The sky is boundless, and in the distance is an endless blue ocean. A round of small and medium-sized freighters has slowly arrived and docked on the shore, leaving a section of white waves that are gradually dissipating.
The poor and backward Jishui Island is surrounded by desolation.
Even this soil slope has been left unattended. I don’t know how long those crumbling centralized boxes have been placed. Plastic bottles, snack bags and other garbage piles are everywhere.
Holding a gun in his hand, Xu Ci stood in such a sad background.
He became a gangster and took three hostages for unknown reasons.
In front of Qi Zang is Xu Ci, behind him are Li Zhengzheng, Bai Shuwei and other colleagues who are ready to support at any time.
On Jishui Island, which is farther away, the unfinished building stands majestically.In terms of distance, it is almost exactly halfway between the slope and the pier.There are policemen who have ambushed in advance and disguised as commercial investigation teams.
All of them are waiting for Qi Zang.As long as he gave an order, they will make the next move.
As for the other direction of the pier, there are two homestays, each of which hides a murderer with many crimes.
At this moment, everyone with different positions is sharpening their swords and has their own calculations.

Qi Zang could feel that the life and death of many people may be controlled by his own thoughts.The responsibility on his shoulders became very heavy.

But the world in front of him is very simple, there is only one Xuci.

At that moment Xu Ci seemed to have turned into an isolated island, and the ocean not far behind him further highlighted his helplessness.No one could hear his cries for help.
Qi Zang took another step closer to him. "Mr. Xie, why don't you speak? If you have any appeals or difficulties, just tell us. We will definitely solve it. You have been silent all the time. I have reasonable reasons to suspect that you are delaying time—"
"I didn't delay. You, you—" Xu Ci looked at the three of them, "follow me to the top of the slope. This top of the slope... what I want to say is about this top of the slope. Back then, my friend was killed by someone Killed here, but, but..."
"Your friend died here? Didn't the murderer find him? Do you want the police to find the murderer for you by holding these three people hostage?"
"Yes. If I don't do this, no one will help me. Everyone says he committed suicide here, I don't believe it... I don't believe it! You police must give me an account! His death, all of you police have Responsibility! Come here all of you... If one is missing... I will kill one!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Qi Zang's headset.
That was Tong Wei, his teammate in the unfinished building, waiting for his instructions——
"Qi team, is there something serious outside the island? I happen to have a powerful sniper here, let's go to support immediately!"
The lives of three innocent people are now at stake.
If the prisoner escapes, he still has a chance to be caught, but if any one of the three dies, he will have no chance to live again.The priority of rescuing people must be higher than arresting prisoners, not to mention that these prisoners are only suspects, and there is no hard evidence that can convict them.
Tong Wei knew that under such circumstances, all police forces would be given priority to ensure the safety of the three people.He is ready to lead all the team members to evacuate the unfinished building and go to the slope to support the rest of his colleagues in arresting Xie Qiao.
Tong Wei did not expect that he would receive such a message from Qi Zang: "Don't come over, just stare at the direction of the pier.

"In addition, when you see Huang Yuxin at the pier and before you order the team members to formally arrest people, tell me through the headset immediately. This is very important! It is related to the lives of our colleagues. Remember!"

Blood Oriole held the mobile phone in one hand and the switch that could remotely control the explosives in the other, waiting here.
The switch had been taken away by Xu Ci before, and Xueying was also tied up by Xu Ci.
But fortunately, Xu Ci was concerned about safety.
In order to prevent Ping An from committing suicide, Xu Ci let her go, returned the switch to her, and finally tied the explosives willingly
There are straps on both ends of the explosive, and there are special buttons at the end of the strap. Once closed, it cannot be opened. If it is opened by force, the explosive will be detonated.
Therefore, once Xu Ci tied the explosives to his body, he couldn't take them off.
If he didn't want to be killed by the bomb, Xu Ci had to go to the police to delay Xueying's time until she boarded the ship.
In order to delay the time, he had to find some reason to negotiate with the police, to show that he did have other purposes for kidnapping the hostages, so that they would not think that he was trying to make a fuss and buy time for Xueying and Shang Boran to escape.
Worried that Xu Ci would tip off the news, Xueying took out a headset for him to wear when he left.Through the headset, she can monitor Xu Ci in real time.As soon as she found out that he had damaged the headset, or passed a message to the police, she would press the switch to detonate the bomb at any time.
At this moment, through the slightly noisy radio waves, Xue Ying listened to all the conversations between Xu Ci and Qi Zang.
She thought it was a little funny, because the story Xu Ci made up for the police was really bad.
At the same time, she actually felt a little regretful——
Xu Ci, who was betrayed once, still doesn't have a long memory... From then on, he should understand that being a good person doesn't last long, and he should be a bad guy through and through.
After a while, the person Xue Ying waited for came.
That was when Ping An drove around the desolate island and then returned to the back door of the hotel.
The moment he parked safely, Xueying immediately stepped forward. "How about it?"
"Don't worry, the police were all led by Xu Ci." Ping An said, "Including the unfinished building. After seeing Xu Ci today, he didn't tell me the specific arrangement of the police. But that building is so unfinished. After a long time, a few people suddenly appeared to investigate... It's unusual. But it doesn't matter, they all evacuated anyway. The boat has arrived, and I will take you to pick up Shang Boran first, and then send you to the pier."
"Okay." Xue Ying got on the co-pilot.
Soon, the car drove to the hotel next door to pick up Shang Boran and headed for the pier.
The cargo ship has docked, and there is not much time left for them.
Xue Ying was still a little uneasy on the road, and couldn't help holding the switch firmly in her hand, and said a threatening word to Xu Ci through the headset.
"Xu Ci, don't play tricks, or I will immediately press the switch and blow you up!"
Hearing this sentence, Ping An in the driver's seat frowned to express his disapproval. "Xue Ying, don't be fooled. Xu Ci's doing this... means that his future is gone. I'm already sorry for him, you..."
"Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm fine, he'll be fine." Xue Ying pursed her lips, "I'm just a little worried... the policeman in charge of my case this time, is his surname Qi? Familiar, do you know what relationship he has with that policeman?"
Pingan said: "It's nothing special. There was a case before, and Xu Ci was one of the original suspects, and the two got to know each other like that. You still have to think about what to do when you get on the boat. If the coast guard is fully mobilized—— "
Ping An's voice was full of worry, but Xueying turned her head and glanced at the direction of the island's exit. "I have a bad feeling...Xu Ci used to go to the Public Security University after all, and many of his classmates were criminal police. They didn't know each other before, right? Otherwise, why would the police let him come here first?"
"Don't worry too much. Xu Ci will tell me everything. But I have never heard that he had any relationship with any of his former classmates. His classmates are all policemen, and he doesn't want any policeman to discover his identity. He will not contact those A classmate. Besides, you have a switch in your hand, and his life is in your hands. What are you worried about?"
"I, I also... I don't know. What I developed in this kind of life... Maybe it's intuition. Forget it. Let's go to the pier first.
"Brother, thank you this time. I didn't expect to meet you here. If it weren't for you... I would be finished. I will contact you after I go out. As for my parents, I will be gone."
"They never abandoned you. Why do you have such a perception? Are people talking nonsense?"
"It's not important. The important thing is... I can't go back."
The car quickly drove to the pier.
Seeing that the cargo ship was close at hand, Xue Ying finally let go of her hanging heart.
It's been hard to come this far.As long as she gets on the boat and finds the snakehead at the next location, she has a great hope of escaping abroad!
After getting out of the car, Xueying and Shang Boran looked at each other, they smiled at each other, and then walked towards the cargo ship together.
But at this moment, several screeching brakes sounded one after another.
Xueying's heart was beating wildly, and she turned around suddenly, and saw several policemen dressed like business people get out of the car one after another, and then pointed their guns at herself.
It's those people from the unfinished building who have gone and returned!
They should have gone to support and rescue the hostages, why did they come here suddenly!
"Huang Yuxin, Shang Boran, you two are suspected of murdering Cui Junjie and Qin Chunlan, and now you are being arrested according to law. Please don't resist. Resistance is futile!"
"Xu Ci, you traitor, go to hell!"
When Xue Ying was angry, after yelling such a sentence, regardless of the safety of the driver's seat of the car next to him, there was a panic full of "Don't!!!", and he pressed the switch of the explosives——
·
half a minute ago.
The two people on the slope were still confronting each other.
Xu Ci retreated step by step, while Qi Zang approached step by step. The two had reached the position of the container on the slope top, and they entered the container further forward.
"The police here have already arrived. If you think we are wrong, you can scold us however you want. Let the hostages go first, is that okay?"
"Really? Let me count... how many policemen have come."
The next moment, Qi Zang heard the news from Tong Wei in his headset that they were going to arrest Xue Ying immediately, his face changed drastically, and he quickly mouthed to Xu Ci: "Run!!!"
Hearing this, Xu Ci immediately threw the gun in his hand, crushed the earphones hanging from his ears, and shouted at the three panicked "hostages", "There's a bomb, run!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Ci quickly turned around and jumped into the concentration box behind him at an extremely fast speed.As soon as his feet touched the ground of the concentration box, Xu Ci's next move was to turn around and close the door.
He never expected that when he turned around, he saw Qi Zang following in, and quickly and steadily helped him close the rather heavy iron door.
"Click", that was the sound of the blood warbler pressing the switch on the distant pier.
Inside the tightly closed container, Qi Zang and Xu Ci looked at each other. The distance between the two was very close, and they could both hear the heartbeat of the other as if it was about to jump out of the chest.
"Boom."
"Boom!"
"Boom!!!"
……
—the bomb did not explode.
Xu Ci took a deep breath, leaning against the cold iron sheet of the container, and slowly slid on the ground.His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.At this time, he only made a bowing movement, and sweat slid down from the broken hair on his forehead, and then rolled down to the ground.
Sitting on the ground and panting for a few breaths, Xu Ci suddenly stood up as if thinking of something, walked straight up to Qi Zang, picked up his collar and walked forward step by step, "dang" Qi Zang against the iron door.
"Qi Zang, are you crazy?!"
Xu Ci's face was cold, his eyes were serious, and his voice was so hoarse that he was always calm and calm. He roared in a rare way, "I don't care if I don't have a family. But you have parents and friends waiting for you! Do you have a sense of responsibility? What if the dynamite really blows up?! What will your parents do?! Who told you to come in with me?!!"
"First, I have a common sense of physics and know that this grounded iron container can form a 'Faraday cage'. The switch of the remote sensing explosive transmits a signal through radio waves, and then triggers an explosion. This Faraday cage can shield the signal, so the bomb will not Detonated by a switch.
"second--"
Stretching out his hand, Qi Zang put his palm on Xu Ci's forehead, wiped his sweat there, then lowered his index finger, slightly hooked the bridge of his nose, and finally put it on his cheek, making a gesture that seemed to be Hold his face up.
Qi Zang said in a gentle and reassuring tone: "Xiaoci, what you said is wrong. Who said you have no family and friends? I am your family and your friend. You are not alone.
"Xiaoci, if you die, someone will be sad for your departure, someone will miss you forever...you will never be alone. If you selfishly want to die alone, that is also an irresponsible behavior. so now……
"Can you trust me?"
Looking deeply at Qi Zang, Xu Ci's chest heaved violently, and it took a while before the breath that was suffocated in his chest was released.
He unknowingly loosened his grip on Qi Zang's collar, and his eyes were slightly flushed. "No one can guarantee at what moment the Blood Warbler will press the button, but if we close the door one step later, the Faraday cage will not be formed... You will be blown to pieces with me. Have you considered the consequences?"
Qi Zang actually smiled. "That's possible. But I'm still confident in my speed. You can also trust me with your back. Don't fight everything by yourself."
Qi Zangxin said that the worst outcome of this matter... seems to be nothing more than two people dying together.
That's actually not bad.
It's better than him going to Qiongbi and falling to Huangquan alone, and he still can't find Xu Ci.
After a long time, Xu Ci's hand slowly dropped from Qi Zang's neckline. Looking into Qi Zang's eyes, he suddenly felt that the crisis, tension, and fear that were on the line of life and death just now... were all far away from him.
Not long ago, when he drove the "three hostages" away from the exit of Jishui Island, he deliberately lowered the window and passed in front of Qi Zang.
He couldn't tell Qi Zang, because Xue Ying could hear his voice through the headset.
So at that moment, he mouthed something to Qi Zang——
"I have a bomb on me."
Xu Ci had already seen containers scattered on the slope, so he parked the car there.
After Qi Zang approached, not only was he slowly leading the "hostage" towards the direction of the container, but his eyes were also constantly pointing.
When Qi Zang saw the mouth shape of "bomb" and received hints from the container, he would naturally understand everything, which Xu Ci could have expected.
But what Xu Ci didn't expect was that Qi Zang, who hadn't seen each other for eight years and hardly got along with him, could believe in him without reservation, and could cooperate with him so seamlessly——
He has a well-planned plan. On the one hand, he guessed that he was connected to a headset, and tacitly cooperated with him in acting, and on the other hand, he was able to arrange for the police on the other side of the unfinished building to act in a scene of going back and forth...
What Xu Ci least expected was that Qi Zang could follow in and face the possible explosion with himself.
In the past, Xu Ci most believed in justice and fairness.
Everything he encountered in Myanmar eight years ago put him on a seesaw.
Ping'an's betrayal made him tilt towards the direction where human nature is inherently evil and people around him will always betray him. When he was about to walk to the other end of the seesaw, Qi Zang appeared, taking him back to the past step by step.
It was Qi Zang who told him that he still had someone he could trust and who could completely hand over his back.
No one spoke in the small container for a while.
The two stood quietly and looked at each other, the only thing they could hear was each other's breathing.
In the past eight years, Xu Ci has been a dream of Qi Zang.
Qi Zang is a hidden symbol in Xu Ci's youth.
Even if they have reunited, for each other, the degree of each other's truth is very limited.
Until this moment, they all felt for the first time that the person in front of them was so close to them that they could touch them with their hands.
A moment later, the voices of Li Zhengzheng and others came from outside the container——
"Boss, are you okay?!"
"What's going on inside the boss! We'll come in right away—"
Hearing these words, the corners of Xu Ci's mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled at Qi Zang.This smile hides endless fatigue, but it finally has the meaning of trust.
Then Xu Ci raised his hands and looked at Qi Zang with calm and steady eyes.
He said softly: "Officer Qi, handcuff me. Now I am your prisoner."
