Chapter 166 Only death can bring eternal peace

Ten o'clock in the evening.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and even the shopping malls have been closed.

Several private cars were driving out of the parking lot of the Gusu Xiangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade one after another. They seemed to be police staff who had just gotten off work. In fact, all the vehicles had the same destination, and they were all heading towards the Xishan Orchard.

One minute after receiving the latest information from Lin Tian.

Liu Yang quickly organized his police officers and immediately went to the Xishan Orchard that Lin Tian mentioned.

...

Several private cars were speeding on the road, and where the Xiangcheng SWAT team was located, several private cars also drove out of the parking lot at the same time.

Since it was already late at night, the journey was smooth and there was no need for alarm bells to clear the way.

In the vehicle at the front of the team, Liu Yang, who was familiar with Xiangcheng District in Suzhou, sat in the driver's seat. He glanced at Bai Yu next to him and Zheng Hui through the rearview mirror, and then spoke slowly.

"Western Orchard."

"It belongs to a relatively remote place in Xiangcheng District. It is located halfway up the Xishan Mountain, half an hour's drive from the city."

"Even if we rush there as fast as possible, it will probably take at least twenty minutes to get there, not to mention the climb up the mountain. I hope there won't be any accidents along the way."

It's obvious.

Although he has already taken action, Liu Yang is still a little worried.

Because the Xiangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade is quite far away from the Xishan Orchard, it would take at least twenty minutes to reach the foot of the mountain at full speed, plus the time to climb the mountain.

in other words.

Another hidden member of the organization definitely has enough time to execute the poison, and with the ferocity of this organization, he can definitely execute him in advance.

Bai Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned up his collar, took out his mobile phone and looked at the map, frowned slightly and said with regret.

"it is a pity."

"I just looked at the map and found that Xishan Orchard is actually less than five minutes' drive from the Shuiyuan Longting Villa area we checked earlier."

"If we could confirm that he was hiding in the Xishan Orchard when we first searched the villa where Poison lived, we would have been able to arrest and control him directly. There is no need to worry now."

Hear this.

Liu Yang nodded in agreement at first, but then immediately shook his head, patted the steering wheel and explained seriously.

"Although Shuiyuan Longting is indeed close to Xishan Orchard, but...it's too difficult, Detective Bai."

"After we came back from searching the villa area, weren't we carefully judging and searching places where poisons might be hidden? But even after considering so many places, we didn't think of Xishan Orchard."

"Even if it has been considered before, the poison will be hidden in a familiar place, or even a place where cyanide raw materials are obtained."

"But we never expected that in order to extract enough cyanide to commit crimes, the poison would directly occupy an orchard. This is really unexpected."

“Although it’s easy to extrapolate now in hindsight.”

"But in the kind of environment just now, there is really no way to take this into consideration. If the Forest Bureau and Deputy Team Leader Su had not made a major breakthrough, I guess the poison would have been hidden for a while."

Zheng Hui, who was in the back row, immediately leaned forward and looked at Liu Yang, who was wearing a white-lined police uniform and looking directly at the car ahead of him, and asked with some curiosity.

"Liu Bureau."

"How are Brother Ming and the others doing now?"

"Have we achieved the set goal? Otherwise, how can we be so sure of where the poison is currently hidden? And let us take action immediately."

Bai Yu was also a little confused and looked at Liu Yang beside him.

Feeling the doubtful looks from the two people in the car, Liu Yang exhaled heavily, then nodded vigorously and praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes."

"Deputy Leader Su's ability to solve crimes is far beyond everyone's imagination."

"In less than an hour in the morning, the poisoning and murder case in a private theater in Suzhou City has made unprecedented progress."

"Then after arriving in Liangxi City, with the full cooperation of the Yuhua Criminal Investigation Team, Qiangwei, an important member of the drug trafficking organization, was successfully arrested and controlled just a few minutes ago."

"It just happened that we also dug up the poison information, so we can go there as soon as possible."

"So, our line cannot fall behind. We must arrest the poisoner and pry open his mouth to get other key information and clues!"

After finishing speaking.

Liu Yang couldn't help but feel a rare rush of enthusiasm, and subconsciously stepped on the accelerator harder.

This was the first time since he became the head of the Xiangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade that he had returned to the fledgling passion he had when he was young and had just become a criminal police officer.

...

at this time.

In the Xishan Orchard in Xiangcheng District.

"Tap-tap-tap-"

The sound of dry branches being cut continued to sound from far to near.

In the dark fruit trees in the distance, a burly man wearing an old black full-body raincoat and rain boots, with dried blood stains on his clothes and pants, was holding a knife with a blade covered in rust, only the front half of which had been hastily polished and slightly scratched. Bone Knife walked slowly towards the wooden house halfway up the mountain.

In the sight of the burly man.

In the dimly lit worker's wooden house, a shadow was flashing continuously, as if it was looking for something. Then it suddenly stopped moving and came close to the wall, and then immediately turned off the lights in the wooden house.

dark.

It completely enveloped the entire fruit forest.

And on this hillside far from light pollution, you can still see many twinkling stars in the night sky at around 10 o'clock in the evening.

The burly man walked slowly to the door of the wooden house, patted the unstable wooden door with a boning knife, and said in a low voice.

"It's me, the butcher."

"K, let me take you away, Gusu is no longer safe."

Three seconds later.

"Creaky--"

The old wooden door was opened, and a harsh sound was heard.

Du Yao hid half of his body behind the door, looked at the butcher vigilantly, and asked tentatively.

"Brother Butcher."

"Boss K asked you to take me away? Instead of doing something else?"

It's obvious.

Du Yao is not stupid, and he knows the usual practice of drug trafficking organizations against those who are exposed.

Just like... those trash who failed the assessment, but no one has ever been caught alive by the group of police.

The burly butcher turned his head and glanced at Du Yao indifferently. Through the reflection of the moonlight, he saw the pistol in his other hand, and a disdainful expression appeared on his face.

He walked into the wooden house expressionlessly, sat casually on the bed, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed K's number and turned on the speaker, without any emotion.

"K knows that you will definitely have such an attitude when you see me coming."

"So let me call him directly as soon as I see you. Only by talking to you and clarifying the follow-up arrangements can he be completely relieved."

As the butcher said indifferently, the waiting tone from the speaker on the other side continued to ring.

"Beep-"

"Beep-"

"Beep--"

......

When Du Yao habitually counted fifteen seconds in his heart, the call was picked up on time.

This time.

K still abided by the fifteen-second code.

As the call was connected, Du Yao immediately took two steps forward, picked up the phone and said anxiously.

"Boss K."

"Didn't you say you would help me? Why did you let Brother Butcher come to find me?"

"I haven't told anyone else about this place. Only you and I know about it. If Brother Butcher reveals his whereabouts, wouldn't I be in danger?"

After waiting for two seconds.

K's extremely calm voice has already sounded.

"Oh? No third person knows about this place?"

"Don't worry, Poison, I know what you are thinking now, but it's not to the point where I have to give up on you."

"I found a new way to get you out of Gusu City safely. The Butcher just used this method to find you, so you can follow him later."

The voice fell.

Poison glanced at the burly man in front of him, still full of worry and anxiety, and continued.

"Boss K."

"Is the new way safe? Will there be any other accidents?"

"Otherwise, you can let Brother Butcher leave first, and I will continue to hide here for a few days. Anyway, no one can find this place, and I will be at ease and not be scared."

The next second.

K on the other end of the phone responded with a slightly cold response.

"Du Yao, you are relieved."

"But I am not relieved. Maybe I will be worried all day long, do you know?"

These words.

Du Yao could not help but be stunned. He wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt an unprecedented pain in his left chest.

He looked down at his chest and found that a boning knife was almost completely inserted into his heart.

Du Yao opened his eyes wide, but his vision became more and more blurred. He tried his best to say something, but he could only make a gurgling sound when he opened his mouth, and blood kept overflowing from his mouth.

Then.

The burly butcher held Du Yao's head with his left hand, and suddenly pulled out the rusty boning knife that was inserted into his heart with his right hand.

"Puff--"

Blood splashed like a fountain, even splashing on the butcher's cheek, staining the butcher's old raincoat red, reflecting the dried blood.

Although his face was covered in blood, the butcher showed no emotion at all. He was as indifferent as a pig being slaughtered, and licked the warm blood on his lips with his tongue.

Du Yao, who was standing opposite, staggered and fell backwards on his back.

"Plop——"

Blood was still pouring out of the wound in his heart, but Du Yao's pupils had completely enlarged and lost focus, and his body temperature began to slowly drop.

The butcher slowly squatted down and pulled the phone that was still on the line out of Du Yao's tightly clenched hand.

K's last cold words lingered in the wooden house at the same time.

"Only by death can you rest in peace forever."
