Chapter 732: Chapter 680: With a Background
“Yes, Mayor,” following Wang Youcai’s statent, the surrounding police first secured the body and then began searching the forest with several police dogs.
“Hun, was what you just said true?” The elder did not feel the slightest sensation at the scene, his age had rendered most social niceties unable to spark any interest in him.
On the contrary, he was now sowhat concerned about Liu Hun’s remarks. Although Wang Youcai was sowhat despicable, a police officer’s life was still a life.
“I have seen this kind of Poisonous Insect poison in an ancient text before. The person who refined it is extrely malicious, and based on the scene we just observed, the deceased seed to have been trying to catch the perpetrator and unintentionally succumbed to the Poisonous Insect poison. You just saw the surface but did not notice the high-end shirt and the luxury watch the victim was wearing underneath; everything on the outside was simply a disguise.”
Liu Hun paused slightly, then exhaled a breath of stale air and continued, “The person may be easy to find. Given the onset of the Poisonous Insect poison’s effects, they can’t have gone far, but once we enrage the perpetrator, the situation could beco troubleso…”
“Hun, I’m really sorry about what happened just now, there was nothing I could do…” Liu Dekai ca to Liu Hun’s side apologetically after Wang Youcai left.
“Liu brother, this is no ordinary matter. I’d like you to help call a few police officers, then head southwest to have a look,” Liu Hun said with all seriousness. The vast mountain was overgrown with weeds, making finding a person in such an environnt a challenging task. They had searched for nearly an hour and still had not found a single clue.
Faced with no other option, they had to split up. Chu ngyao, as the village chief of Shanghe Village, had to follow Liu Dekai during this road construction period with such an incident occurring.
Liu Hun, on the other hand, took two police officers and father and son Zhang Zhongping in the direction ahead.
“Bang!” Less than half an hour after they parted ways, a shot rang out from afar.
Hearing the gunshot, everybody’s expression changed instantly, and they quickly moved toward the direction from which the gunshot had co.
Upon arriving at the scene, they saw a fish pond in front of them and a thatched cottage ahead. One police officer had been pierced through the shoulder by a homade arrow, with blood gushing out profusely; as for Liu Dekai, he was furiously angry, with several junior police officers holding pistols aid at the thatched cottage in front.
“Where’s ngyao?” Liu Hun, after scanning the changes in the scene, asked Liu Dekai with a slightly cold expression.
The reason Liu Hun was so concerned about Chu ngyao wasn’t because of her beauty or background but rather due to her circumstances.
In a previous life, there was also a girl from a prominent family who fell in love with him after a chance encounter. However, Liu Hun never took it to heart, until he was betrayed and facing death. In that sudden mont, the girl stepped forward to take a fatal bullet for him. Although Liu Hun eventually could not escape death, he was filled with regret at that mont.
Now, encountering Chu ngyao, who not only resembled the girl in appearance but also had a similar character—tenaciously unyielding once she set her mind to sothing—was sothing he noticed.
“Chu… the village chief went in to negotiate. The perpetrator has captured two of our police officers, so…” Upon hearing Liu Hun’s sowhat chilling voice, Liu Dekai couldn’t help but shiver.
“A person filled with deadly poison, coupled with the perpetrator’s terrifying thods of killing, and you actually let a girl go in to negotiate!” Liu Hun suppressed his anger and sternly reprimanded Liu Dekai.
“Maybe I should go in and have a look,” said Zhang Zhongping, frowning slightly as he stepped forward.
Liu Hun glanced at Zhang Zhongping and unrcifully rebuffed him, “With your abilities, going in would be a death sentence. Not only has the person laid traps around the house, but their strength is also extrely formidable. If it were a few years ago, maybe you could have handled it with your skills, but now…”
“You… you haven’t even tried, how do you know I’m not capable anymore?” Zhang Zhongping felt the disdain in Liu Hun’s eyes and glared back, shouting at him loudly.
Liu Hun, however, ignored Zhang Zhongping’s words and snatched a pistol straight from the hands of a junior police officer. To the astonishnt of Liu Dekai and others, he called out loudly to the person inside the cottage, “I’m going to count to three, and if you don’t release the hostages, you’ll be the one dying!”
“Ha ha ha, I’m already cornered. Even if I die by the hands of you corrupt officials, I can still take a few of you down with !” A childish yet loud voice ca from inside; it was clear the person held a deep hatred for officials.
But at that mont, Liu Hun could not care less about that. With Chu ngyao inside, every minute increased her danger, so Liu Hun dared not take the risk.
“Bang! Bang!” Liu Hun fired two shots with the pistol.
One bullet hit a bamboo pole of the cottage, and the other was fired into the cottage itself.
“Boom…” A faint noise sounded, and the thatched hut instantly collapsed.
After the hut collapsed, a youth around twenty was seen with one side of his face pitch black and the other as white as lotus. As for Chu ngyao and several junior police officers, they were bound together with ropes and unable to move.
However, the youth had fresh blood streaming down one side of his thigh, clearly hit by a bullet fired by Liu Hun just now.
Looking at this scene, Liu Dekai might not have fully understood, but the few police officers and Zhang Zhongping were shocked.
The shot Liu Hun took just monts ago had caused the hut to collapse. This was not due to luck, but because Liu Hun had discerned the structure of the building, knowing that breaking a key bamboo would cause the hut to collapse. Possessing such keen observational skills in such a short ti was not sothing an ordinary person could achieve.
If the first shot could be attributed to luck, the second one dispelled that notion completely. Hitting the enemy with such precision in these circumstances required great listening skills and confidence. Liu Hun was simply a villager from Shanghe Village, yet not only could he use a firearm, but his marksmanship was so precise that even Zhang Zhongping felt inferior.
“Release them, and I can ensure your life is safe!” Liu Hun, not caring for what others were thinking, saw that among the group, only Chu ngyao had fainted, and murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
“You are strong!” The youth looked at Liu Hun with his terrifying face and asked coldly, “And you are not an official!”
“I’m just a villager from Shanghe Village, but I can tell you clearly now that if you don’t release them, the next bullet won’t hit your thigh but your head,” Liu Hun said coldly.
“Since you’re not an official, then this doesn’t have much to do with you. I can release the girl, but they must die today!” The youth glanced at Liu Hun and then released Chu ngyao.
Liu Hun quickly walked over, held Chu ngyao in his arms, and carefully checked her body, then his expression changed drastically.
“As for her, I can only say sorry. The poison on was accidentally touched by her,” the youth said with a hint of apology when he saw Liu Hun’s expression change.
“Who exactly are you? If you have no malice towards ordinary people, why did you co to our Shanghe Village to kill?” Liu Hun suppressed the urge to kill raging in his heart and looked coldly at the youth in front of him.
However, the youth, who had shown so remorse after hearing Liu Hun’s words, suddenly beca angry.
Then, pointing at Liu Dekai and the others, he yelled, “Back then, my parents happened to pass by here and were murdered, and the authorities never gave my parents justice. I beca an orphan and ended up like this! So I want these officials to pay the price!”
As the youth spoke, a chill flashed in Liu Hun’s eyes, and his feet suddenly exerted force, propelling his body toward the youth in an instant.
With hands like claws, Liu Hun attempted to subdue the opponent, but unfortunately, the opponent was no easy target, reacting instantly with anger on his face.
“Crack!” The opponent smashed a fist hard onto Liu Hun’s hand, producing a crisp sound.
Imdiately after, the youth’s body staggered, and Liu Hun seized the opportunity, stepping forward and quickly dislocating one of the youth’s arms.
“Slash!” But as Liu Hun had just dislocated one arm, the youth produced a sharp knife from seemingly nowhere, slicing a deep bone-deep wound on Liu Hun’s arm.
A surge of pain emanated from the arm, but Liu Hun remained expressionless and swept out a leg, mixing a gusty wind in the air and eventually hitting the youth’s legs.
Right away, Liu Hun didn’t wait for anyone else to react and dislocated the youth’s other arm, taking the knife in the process. Without a word, he slit open half of the youth’s pitch-black cheek and then slapped the other side of the face.
“Pfft!” The next mont, sothing black flew out instantly from the wound, and Liu Hun, as if anticipating this, grabbed the black object and, without any hesitation, chewed it and swallowed it.
“You… how did you know…” At this point, although the youth lay on the ground unable to move, his face was filled with terror as he saw what Liu Hun had just done.
“In this world, there are many things you don’t know,” Liu Hun glanced at the youth, then quickly moved to Chu ngyao’s side and gently let blood from his shoulder drip down his arm into Chu ngyao’s mouth.
Until this mont, the expressions of Liu Dekai and others at the scene were still sowhat blank, especially Zhang Zhongping, who wore a look of shock.
Who was this youth who suddenly appeared? And who was Liu Hun?
