Chapter 231.
Around fifty minutes past eight.
Arriving at Zhaofeng Park.
Xu Qinghe had long ago led an ambush into the grove at the northwest corner.
Cheng Mo and Gu Xiaotian came in through the east gate, of course, along the way, the two did not move forward side by side, but one after the other, and he did not know if the people who came to silence him would have arrived long ago.
If it was seen to be a trap, the other party would not have stepped on the pit.
Therefore, the pair could not be allowed to notice that something was wrong.
In the morning of the park, there are quite a few people who come here for morning exercise, and there are also people who come here to take a walk with their dogs, which is actually not very different from the latter days.
Only that those who have this leisure time are some people who have no worries about food and clothing, and will not be the ordinary people who can’t even get enough to eat.
The latter day kind of park in the morning overcrowded situation can not be seen, but at a glance, at least can see three or two people, and this time the air is the best, autumn high, not cold and not hot, the most suitable for going out to play.
This was originally a private garden, then turned into a public welfare nature of the park, open to the public, before the war did not break out, it was a good place for citizens to relax.
Before the war broke out, it was a good place for citizens to relax. After the war broke out more than a year ago, many of the facilities here have not been maintained, and some of them are beginning to fall into disrepair, and no one goes to a lot of places anymore.
The grove in the northwest corner was originally a penal colony where people were shot.
General people will not run to that side for no reason, more dead people, Yin Qi is heavy, there are some stray wild dogs, some people do not collect the body of the condemned, after the execution, directly wrapped with a straw mattress, dug a hole on the ground and buried, and these wild dogs, waiting for these corpses to have a full meal it!
Although the execution of prisoners was not a daily occurrence, for a high crime area like the Concession, there was never a shortage of vicious cases of murder and arson, and there were one or two cases almost every day, sometimes more.
Therefore, every few days, there will be a shooting death row inmates, of course this is not the only shooting execution ground ……
To be honest, Gu Xiaotian was reluctant to come to a place like this, but for the sake of money, he still agreed to come, after all, no one here saw their dealings.
Huang Xiaoling, a woman, was also the reason he didn’t refuse, what else could a tender woman do to a big man like him?
Passed along a path.
After walking about a hundred meters or so, he came to a clearing in the forest, the ground was bare, not a single blade of grass grew.
This was the execution ground where the condemned were shot.
There was also a dent in the ground, which was the mark left by the condemned prisoner kneeling on the ground.
Generally speaking, prisoners on death row are directly kneeling on the ground, the executioner directly from the back, aimed at the back of the head to shoot, the prisoner is unable to see the face of the gunman.
For some special prisoners, at most, let you stand, back to the gunman.
Frontal shootings are rare.
Therefore, those black irregular marks of dirt on the ground were all left behind by the blood of the condemned prisoner’s soaking.
Staying at the edge, Gu Xiaotian felt chills running down his backbone, his sweaty hairs standing on end, this place was so oozing, it felt like with every step forward, the temperature would drop by one degree.
The surrounding area was incredibly quiet, without a single sound.
This was even more oozing.
Time passed by, and Gu Xiaotian’s inner tension pulled to a peak until he heard a footstep ring out from behind him.
A person he had never seen before walked towards him, wearing the uniform of a cleaning worker, carrying a broom in his hand and a long-handled dustpan on his shoulder.
He looked like a worker in charge of sweeping garbage in the park.
However, how did a garbage cleaner come to this murderous torture chamber? There should not be many people here, and usually there is no need to clean up the place.
Gu Xiaotian’s nerves instantly tensed up.
After all, this side often occurs some robberies and injuries and other things, although he knows that there are people from the inspector’s office in the neighborhood, but if something is really wrong, at least to hold out for the time that they come. The man dressed as a cleaner quickly came in front of Gu Xiaotian, just seven or eight meters away from him.
“Gu Xiaotian?”
The man called out Gu Xiaotian’s real name with a single breath, but his accent was a bit “dun dun”, not like a Chinese person.
“Who are you and how do you know my name?”
“Reiko asked me to come over.”
“Why didn’t she come over herself, we had an appointment.” Gu Xiaotian asked back.
“She had to go to work and couldn’t get away, so she entrusted me to bring the money over to you.” The visitor pulled out an envelope from his pocket, and in one smooth motion, he stepped forward about three or four meters, just a sprint away from Gu Xiaotian.
“Stop, you throw me the money.” Gu Xiaotian ordered the other party.
“What, don’t believe me?”
“Of course, I’ve never seen you before, how do I know if you’ll turn against me?” Gu Xiaotian stared at the other party warily and said.
“Alright.” The visitor didn’t come forward again, but instead, from opening the envelope, he pulled out a portion of the money inside, showed it to Gu Xiaotian, stuffed it back in, and then with a lift of his hand, threw it over.
And just as Gu Xiaotian reached out to pick it up, the man suddenly drew out a sharp dagger, and with a dash, stabbed at Gu Xiaotian’s chest.
It was truly as fast as lightning.
Ping! Just as the guy took off, a gunshot rang out at the same time.
A bullet came at high speed and directly pierced his right hand holding the dagger, a miserable scream came out, and within the woods on all sides, plainclothes inspectors who had long been in ambush rushed out with guns.
Surrounded the two people.
“Gu Xiaotian, you ……” The exterminator covered his injured hand, like a wounded beast, and looked at Gu Xiaotian angrily with red eyes.
“Sorry, I can’t help it.” Gu Xiaotian’s face turned white with fear, if it wasn’t for that shot, he would have been seriously injured without dying if he received this stab today.
The shot was fired by Cheng Mo.
He came over and took the envelope from Gu Xiaotian’s hand, reached inside and drew out the money inside, only one was real, the rest were all white paper, it was simply a lie.
Everyone could see that this man had come over to kill Gu Xiaotian to silence him, and had no intention of giving him any money at all.
The killer knew that he had failed in his mission, only to see him give a weird smile, suddenly black blood overflowed from his mouth, this was obviously taking poison to kill himself.
Cheng Mo’s eyebrows jumped, actually sent a dead man, failed to complete the task, directly killed himself, this Huang Xiaoling behind the organization is only afraid that it is very uncomplicated ……
Cheng Mo was as gloomy as water all of a sudden.
Just now the sound of that gunshot, I am afraid that it is only startled Huang Xiaoling who rushed here, he can not care about Gu Xiaotian’s death, but in the end, he still shot.
“Guv ……” At this time Lu Le jogged all the way over, panting, his face looked ugly.
“Lost them?”
Cheng Mo took one look at Lu Le’s expression and knew that there was a situation on his side.
Lu Le nodded in shame, a little downcast.
“Forget it, carry the killer’s body back and close the team.” Cheng Mo ordered with a helpless wave of his hand.
The rest was up to Xu Baichuan.
