When Gao Yang and Taylor returned to the car, Number Thirteen was basically still in the sa state as when they had left, staring intently at the entrance of the mansion, motionless.
Sitting in his seat, Gao Yang whispered to Number Thirteen, "Hey, move a bit, you need to take your dication."
Number Thirteen remained unmoved, speaking in a deep voice, "No one has co or gone. Now is the crucial ti for Polonsky’s election campaign, which ans he is unlikely to be at ho during the day."
Gao Yang snapped, "Alright, now hurry up and take your dicine, we’re heading back. You need to change the dressing and get hooked up to an IV!"
Number Thirteen’s leg didn’t just have a bullet hole; his injury was severe. In other words, his wounds hadn’t healed at all yet. He was out investigating with Gao Yang with three large cuts on his leg.
Taylor took out a bunch of dicines, and Gao Yang grabbed a bottle of water. Once Taylor placed various pills into Number Thirteen’s hand and Gao Yang handed over the water, Number Thirteen tossed all the dicine into his mouth and drank several gulps of water to swallow them.
"We have to wait and see if Poloneshenko cos back and at what ti. There are still many things we need to observe."
Number Thirteen said casually, then ignored Gao Yang and Taylor. Gao Yang grumbled, "I’ll stay and watch. Taylor, take him back."
Taylor responded and was about to start the car, but Number Thirteen said quietly yet firmly, "Don’t make angry. Really, I’m not well right now. Letting stay is the smart choice, not your supposed concern."
Gao Yang was left speechless, but beyond being angry, he didn’t dare to force Number Thirteen. Clearly, there was sothing seriously wrong with Number Thirteen right now. It was better to go along with him.
Gao Yang awkwardly shook his head at Taylor, and then the three of them fell into silence again.
Half an hour later, five cars suddenly drove up to the street corner and ultimately stopped at the entrance of the mansion.
Gao Yang perked up and whispered excitedly, "He’s back!"
Number Thirteen whispered, "Five thirty."
Soone opened a car door, and after Poloneshenko got out of the car, he quickly walked into the gate, followed by another person, while several cars drove through the gate, circled the building, and disappeared.
"There’s a courtyard and a garage behind the house. There’s soone waiting to open the gate, which ans there’s soone at ho waiting to let him in."
After Number Thirteen slowly finished speaking, Gao Yang whispered, "Now that he’s back, and we’ve seen what we need to, can we leave?"
Number Thirteen shook his head and whispered, "We can’t leave before ten o’clock tonight. We should actually keep watch all night, but I need to go back for treatnt, so we have to set the ti when Poloneshenko is likely to rest."
Gao Yang shrugged helplessly. Since Number Thirteen had already stated a specific ti, what else could they do but wait?
After waiting for almost an hour, when a car they hadn’t paid attention to stopped by the street near the entrance of the mansion, a woman got out and hurriedly walked toward the gate.
"Sothing’s up!"
Gao Yang whispered, but Number Thirteen imdiately beca serious, saying in a low voice, "Drive closer and pull over. This woman might be an opportunity."
They were sowhat far away, and the details weren’t very clear, so they needed to get a bit closer. Taylor pulled the car about forty to fifty ters from the mansion entrance and resud waiting.
Number Thirteen stretched his neck and whispered, "That woman, she hardly paused before entering, which ans she’s very familiar with this place, and the people inside know her well, so she cos here often and often sees Poloneshenko."
Gao Yang said seriously, "What are we doing?"
"For now, nothing. Just wait and see."
After waiting for nearly another hour until it was getting dark, Number Thirteen whispered, "Once it’s dark, it will be hard to see anything clearly. Get the night vision device ready but don’t take it out yet."
Finally, the woman hurried out again, carrying a large won’s briefcase in one hand and a handbag slung over her shoulder, wearing a business suit. She briskly opened the car door and got into the back seat.
Number Thirteen said urgently, "Wait and follow her!"
Gao Yang noticed a detail: the woman had red hair...
The so-called red hair wasn’t bright red or blood red but a reddish tint mixed with blonde. Typically, this was what people referred to as red hair.
Gao Yang and Taylor exchanged a glance. Other than the coincidental nature of today’s events, Gao Yang didn’t know what to say. Number Thirteen had just recalled a red-haired woman he had killed, and before the day was over, they t another red-haired woman. After all, red-haired people are rare, and won even rarer.
Gao Yang hadn’t forgotten sothing Number Thirteen had recently ntioned: every year on this day, he would find a red-haired woman to kill, even scouting one out days in advance, and today was the damn day.
Without a doubt, Number Thirteen was a psychopath. Being a psychopath was one thing, but being a psychopathic killer, if he got excited and did sothing psychopathic, it might seem normal.
The car the woman got into drove past them. Taylor gritted his teeth and followed, while Gao Yang said nervously to Number Thirteen, "You said you plan never to kill again, uh, just red-haired won, you’re serious about that, right?"
Number Thirteen replied coolly, "She’s wearing a designer suit, around thirty-five years old, her bag is a designer brand, and the bigger bag she’s carrying probably contains docunts, a bag that only professional won use. So, she might be Poloneshenko’s assistant or a senior manager. She was chauffeured in an Audi, which ans she’s more likely a senior manager, and the key point is she seems to frequent Poloneshenko’s house. Originally, I planned to capture soone who worked in Poloneshenko’s house, but with our limited ti and uncertain opportunities, she makes a good substitute."
Gao Yang said with a pained expression, "Buddy, you’re not planning to kill her, are you?"
Number Thirteen’s expression turned cold, "I’m tempted, but I can’t say for sure."
After saying this, Number Thirteen sniffed and softly said, "If you don’t want to kill her, then keep a close eye on , at least until I’ve asked everything I need to. Today’s , my self-control is sowhat lacking. I’m worried it might jeopardize our mission."
Gao Yang managed a weak smile and said, "Even though I don’t want anything to happen to you, your behavior in the past, well, that’s really leading you down a more and more psychopathic path, which is bad for everyone. Umm, I’ll keep an eye on you because I don’t want you to completely turn into a lunatic in the end. Of course, I also can’t accept you harming innocent girls for no reason. Uh, such behavior is truly too perverse!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
