After confirming his guess, An Ruqiao began his own cross-examination. They were all questions related to the RL organization, starting from the most peripheral questions to prevent counterattacks when reaching the core.

Of course, such a small fish probably won't have access to any core secrets.

The first few questions were innocuous. They asked some personal information about this middle-aged man, such as his name, age, whether he had killed anyone, and how many people he had killed. Then he asked about the RL organization.

"Name?"

"Liu Kuo."

"age?"

"fifty two."

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Killed."

"How many people have you killed?"

"...Three."

"Does the organization have arrangements in and around City L?"

"Yes."

The man answered dully, but maintained a little respect for An Ruqiao.

An Ruqiao paused, holding the knife in his hand tightly, sweating a little in his palm. After thinking about it for a while, he asked the next question: "Is the prophet... in City L?"

Different from the previous straightforward answers, this time the question did not receive a direct answer. The man paused and wanted to say something but couldn't. He opened and closed his mouth several times and made a "ho ho" sound in his mouth.

It's like an artificial retard that is stuck and about to break down.

Immediately, his eyes moved over and stared closely at An Ruqiao's face. The voice coming from deep in his throat was hoarse and low, mixed with bursts of breath, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell to seek his life.

"The prophet is waiting for your return..."

The face of the "prophet" flashed through An Ruqiao's mind, as if she had once again seen the man she hated, wearing an eye-catching smile that he thought was appropriate and looking at her with pitiful eyes.

The sudden fantasy made An Ruqiao tremble instinctively, and he was almost about to cut the throat of the pervert named Liu Kuo opposite him with the blade.

I still endured it, this person still has value.

An Ruqiao asked the next question: "Then..."

As soon as the word "that" was spoken, the rest of the sound was drowned out by the deafening sound of police cars coming from far and near.

Startled by the sound, the middle-aged man named Liu Kuo broke away from the strange state just now, slammed the table and glared at An Ruqiao fiercely.

Hearing the sound of the police car and seeing the change in the man, An Ruqiao secretly said, "Not good."

Conflict is unavoidable and secondly, the sound of the police car ruined her important task of collecting information!

"Did you call the police?"

"You are the one who satisfies me the most. You are beautiful, gentle, and even have a temperament similar to hers. It's a pity..."

The man stood up, picked up the chair with one hand, and picked up the knife with the other, "What a pity you are so disobedient!"

With that said, he threw the chair on An Ruqiao's head!

An Ruqiao, who had been on guard for a long time, saw him suddenly rise up, and retreated under the table with the knife in his hand.

The wooden chair hit the ground and shattered into pieces. While the wood thorns and sawdust were flying everywhere, An Ruqiao quickly rolled under the table and stabbed the table knife into the man's right foot.

"Ah!!!! I'll kill you!! You bitch!!"

The severe pain made him wail, and then he threw the knife at An Ruqiao amidst the curses!

Xie Jingchen spent a lot of energy to find out where the criminal might have kidnapped An Ruqiao.

They checked the surveillance cameras, compared the license plates, and calculated the driving distance. Fortunately, the criminal's old pickup truck was not very fast, and it was clearly found that he was going to the suburbs, so he could get here within a few hours.

If the kidnapping case lasts more than 24 hours, it is almost impossible to survive. The sooner the kidnapping case is rescued, the better. It is a race against time.

Moreover, this "kidnapper" is obviously not the type who seeks money.

Xie Jingchen saw the appearance of this criminal when he had a video chat with An Ruqiao.

With his specially trained and excellent memory, it was not difficult to describe the appearance of the criminal.

It will be much easier to trace the person with the portrait given by the simulated portrait artist in the police force according to his description.

First, we determined the identity of the criminal based on his appearance, and after comparing his movements, we found that the criminal had appeared around the houses of the two female victims, and that his movements overlapped with those of the three victims to a certain extent.

I can't say it's certain, but there is a 90% chance that the kidnapper, the stalker, and the murderer in the three murder cases are the same person.

In the face of such a pervert who regards human life as nothing, it is very unlikely that An Ruqiao, a "weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken", can survive.

Therefore, Xie Jingchen was extremely anxious.

The combination of his professional sense of responsibility, his vague affection for An Ruqiao, his sense of self-blame for doing bad things, and his regard for An Ruqiao as a person made him extremely anxious.

If... if An Ruqiao died... would he have to wait for another ten years?

The suburbs are very large, and there are many possibilities for where the criminal kidnapped An Ruqiao. The abandoned gas plant is the most likely, but other possibilities cannot be completely ignored.

City L is a small place, and the police force does not have too many people. If they are spread out, only three or four police officers can go to one location.

Xie Jingchen naturally went to the most likely abandoned gas plant with two young men from his police force.

Police car sirens can act as a deterrent. This deterrent effect is used in this situation, but it arouses the murderer's ferocity.

Before Xie Jingchen, Li Tong, and Wang Jibing got out of the police car, they heard roaring and wailing sounds. This is where the crime happened.

It was too late, and there were no lights at the abandoned gas plant, so the three of them had to get out of the police car with police flashlights.

The abandoned gas plant was very large. In his anxiety, Xie Jingchen did not lose his sense of proportion. After some discussion with his two colleagues, he decided to divide his troops into two groups while calling police from other locations for support.

Xie Jingchen and Wang Jibing were together, and Li Tong, who was good at fighting and capturing, attacked from behind.

All three of them were armed with sidearms, each with two narcotic rounds and one live ammunition.

Xie Jingchen and Wang Jibing entered the gate of the abandoned gas plant that looked like a maw of an abyss with flashlights, looked at each other and nodded with Li Tong.

There is a tacit understanding that it is better to be careful.

At this time, An Ruqiao was covering her wound and carefully avoiding the pervert's pursuit.

At that time, she stabbed the pervert's foot with a knife, and then took the opportunity to open the door and escape.

She could have dodged the knife that the pervert threw at her. She was very sensitive after training.

But...her luck has always been bad.

When I opened the door, it was dark outside.

The threads of the poor-quality skirt were caught in the door, and the ground outside was very messy. Only a quarter of her planned escape and counterattack was completed.

The counterattack didn't even have time to start, and the escape didn't go smoothly either.

As she stumbled, the knife pierced her arm.

Her quickest reaction was to tear off the hooked thread, endure the severe pain of the wound, and melt herself into the darkness.

I ran for a while as quietly as possible, panting slightly and hid behind the stacked gas tanks.

Not far away, echoes of perverted words echoed in the empty factory building.

"Where are you? Come out quickly! It was my fault just now because I was too impulsive. I won't hurt you, come out quickly!"

The voice that suppressed anger and pretended to be gentle was as scary as a ghost in the echo.
