Chapter 69 The Sudden Murder
Chapter 69 The Sudden Murder
After driving for a while, Xu Wei, who was driving, glanced at Li Jiuhe through the rearview mirror and asked, "How long do you plan to take to get to that abandoned wooden house?"
"Let's wait until we catch this guy impersonating my daughter."
Li Jiuhe thought he could get more information out of that guy, and maybe even more news about Li Yi, which would give him more confidence when he went to the deserted wooden house to search for her.
The official vehicle maintained a relatively high speed, running several red lights, and soon arrived at the northernmost road in Wangchuan City.
These roads on the outskirts of the city, as long as they are near the city's entrances and exits, are called welcoming roads.
Therefore, Wangchuan City has four welcoming roads, and this is one of them, "Welcoming North Road".
At the end of the road leading to the northern suburbs, two sturdy barriers appeared ahead, blocking the intersection and leaving only a small passage on the left.
A police car was parked here; this was a temporary checkpoint set up by a nearby police station after receiving orders from higher authorities.
There was a policeman in the car, and two others standing by the roadside.
One of them was yawning, apparently having just been woken up from his sleep.
Chen Zhenghai and Li Jiuhe jumped out of the car and approached the checkpoint.
The police officers had already seen that the vehicles arriving were official vehicles from the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, but Chen Zhenghai still flashed his investigator's badge.
"How's it going? Has any car passed by?"
The yawning officer nodded: "Two cars passed by, but we've already checked them. There was only one male driver in each car, no one else. Here are the license plate numbers."
Chen Zhenghai glanced at it and found no problem.
"Have you seen any motorcycles?" Li Jiuhe asked.
"No," the officer said. "We paid special attention to vehicles similar to race cars, but found none."
Li Jiuhe was a little suspicious. They hadn't encountered any other vehicles traveling together. Could it be that the man and woman weren't using any transportation and were walking instead?
But at this hour, there are no pedestrians to be seen on the sidewalks leading out of the city.
The two returned to the car. Xu Wei sat in the driver's seat and softly asked Chen Zhenghai, "Team Leader Chen, should I try playing the bone flute? Maybe they're hiding nearby?"
Chen Zhenghai nodded slightly: "Okay! Jiuhe, go and tell those three officers to plug their ears and be on high alert. Lu Guan, get your weapons ready, observe the surrounding area for anything suspicious, and follow my orders."
Li Jiuhe turned to notify the three police officers, while Lu Guan took out one of the pistols and held it in his hand.
Xu Wei remained in the driver's seat, took out the bone whistle, and brought it to her lips.
But before the flute music could even begin, Chen Zhenghai suddenly stopped them: "Don't play it yet!"
Chen Zhenghai was seen tilting his head, seemingly listening to something, before turning back to look in the direction their official car had come from.
Under the dim streetlights, there were originally cars parked on both sides of the road. These were all cars belonging to nearby residents. Because the area is mostly old-style residential buildings, parking is inconvenient, so these residents' cars have always been parked on the roadside like this.
"A car is making a U-turn, drive over quickly!" Chen Zhenghai pointed behind him and gave the order.
By this time, it was too late for him to get into the car, and Li Jiuhe was still a bit further away from the official vehicle.
Xu Wei put down the bone flute, immediately turned the car around, and revved the engine.
Li Jiuhe, who was behind, was taken aback and quickly moved closer to Chen Zhenghai.
As Chen Zhenghai ran, he shouted to Lu Guan in the car, "Shoot the tires!"
Lu Guan reacted extremely quickly, having already set up his gun and aimed it into the distance.
His pistol was custom-made, equipped with a scope, and suitable for medium to long-range shooting.
However, with his abilities, he didn't need a scope at all; he fired the shot based solely on his instincts.
Then, three more shots followed in quick succession. This guy was truly unerring; four shots blew out all four tires of the car that had been parked on the side of the road and was now quietly making a U-turn without even turning on its headlights.
*Thud!* Another shot.
The car's hood lock was struck, causing the entire hood to flip up and completely obscure the windshield.
The car, which was secretly making a U-turn, suddenly braked. Inside were a man and a woman, Wang Feng and Yu Minmin.
At this time, Yu Minmin still looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, dressed in sportswear.
"Tell me, why are we being targeted by the Investigation Bureau?" Wang Feng had changed out of his usual motorcycle attire and looked extremely nervous.
Yu Minmin frowned deeply: "I knew something was wrong. Everything has been very abnormal since today!"
"What do we do now?" Wang Feng asked.
"You go and hold them off, I'm going first. It would be great if we could teach these guys a lesson!"
Yu Minmin's instructions might seem extremely unreasonable to others, but Wang Feng didn't think so, and even considered it to be a matter of course.
He nodded, and seeing the Investigation Bureau's official vehicle approaching from the side and rear, he placed one hand above the door switch and the other on his belt.
This belt is another soft sword of his, even more lethal than the soft sword he used to deal with Li Jiuhe last time.
However, this was Wang Feng's last trump card.
"We're close enough, let's move!" Yu Minmin reminded them.
The next second, Wang Feng failed to open the car door and instead shuddered.
He looked horrified and fearful, and looked down at his chest.
His chest, near his heart, appeared to have been pierced by something in an instant; his clothes were torn open, and a bloody hole could be seen between his skin and flesh, with fresh blood gushing out.
Moreover, some of the blood was hanging in mid-air, forming the outline of half a sharp blade, dripping blood continuously, which looked extremely eerie.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Minmin suddenly realized what was happening, turned her head to look at the empty back seat of the car, and quickly lowered her gaze.
Only then did she notice the seat behind Wang Feng's. The seat cushion there was slightly sunken, clearly indicating that someone was sitting on it—an invisible person who was completely unseen.
"Lan Linsheng?!" Yu Minmin was suddenly shocked.
Although she couldn't see the people in the back row, she instantly recognized the invisible man and screamed, "What the hell are you doing? Why did you kill Wang Feng?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed the silver dagger that she had been keeping by her side and stabbed it viciously into the spot in the back row where someone appeared to be!
However, before that, the transparent blade that had pierced through Wang Feng from the back seat quickly retracted and slashed across Yu Minmin's right arm a step ahead.
Yu Minmin's clothes and skin on her right arm ripped open at the same time, and blood splattered everywhere.
However, her thrust to the back row missed its target entirely.
It wasn't until now that Yu Minmin realized that this invisible man named Lan Linsheng had somehow gotten into their car and had been hiding in the back seat without making a sound.
So much so that she and Wang Feng didn't notice it at all while in the car.
Wang Feng had just spoken some private things with her in the car, but he didn't expect that this guy would overhear everything!
Yu Minmin was furious. She had injured her right arm, but her knife had missed her opponent.
She quickly lowered her gaze and scanned the back seat, trying to pinpoint the exact location of the invisible man, Lan Linsheng.
The seat was flat, without any dents, so the guy must have quickly bent over and stood up.
Yu Minmin didn't have time to think. She swung her knife horizontally towards the back row. With a soft thud, the blade sliced into something, and blood flowed out in mid-air.
But almost at the same moment, she felt a sharp pain in her lower left rib, mixed with a cold sensation. Looking down, she saw that the invisible man had stabbed her with a knife.
Meanwhile, not far from the car, in an investigation bureau vehicle.
Xu Wei looked surprised, pressing her headlights against the side of the car and staring intently at the movement inside: "What happened?"
Lu Guan exclaimed in surprise, "It seems... the people inside the car are killing each other!?"
