He Chunpeng took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at the text message.
When he saw the content of the text message, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face changed again and again in an instant.
But it was only less than a second before his expression immediately returned to normal.
Because he lowered his head, his expression did not attract the attention of Zhong Haiyang and Lu Meihua.
No one noticed that He Chunpeng's fingertips were trembling slightly at this moment.
After sorting out his emotions again, he said calmly: "Wait a moment, officers. I'm going to take care of some personal matters and will be back soon."
Lu Meihua glanced at him suspiciously: "Mr. He, the danger is not over yet. I advise you not to walk around."
He Chunpeng responded nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? I'm just going to the basement to get something."
While speaking, He Chunpeng smiled.
But the smile seemed a little far-fetched.
Zhong Haiyang looked at He Chunpeng's smile.
His intuition told him that He Chunpeng must be hiding something from him.
Zhong Haiyang couldn't help but think of He Chunpeng's identity in the gray area.
Could it be that he was afraid of discovering something?
However, the main purpose of this visit was to protect He Chunpeng.
Without a search warrant or He Chunpeng's consent, he could not conduct a search.
Moreover, at the moment, ensuring He Chunpeng's safety was the top priority.
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Haiyang asked, "Do you want someone to accompany you? After all, safety comes first."
He Chunpeng refused without a second thought: "No, the basement is my private place, so let's not do it."
"If you are worried, just wait at the stairs in the basement."
He Chunpeng's words were not polite at all, as if he regarded the police officers on the scene as his servants.
Zhong Haiyang thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and asked Xu Kun to follow He Chunpeng to the door of the basement.
While He Chunpeng was not paying attention, Zhong Haiyang quietly winked at Xu Kun, indicating that he should pay close attention to He Chunpeng's movements.
Xu Kun understood and nodded calmly.
The two came to the stairs of the basement, and He Chunpeng said, "You just wait here. The following are my personal belongings, so it's not convenient for you to see them."
Xu Kun curled his lips, said nothing, and stood at the stairs with his shoulders folded.
He Chunpeng was anxious at this time, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense. He walked around Xu Kun and walked down the stairs step by step.
The lights in the corridor were very dim.
The sound of footsteps echoed quickly, and He Chunpeng came to the door of the basement.
As if he was worried, he looked back at Xu Kun.
Seeing that Xu Kun had no intention of following him in, He Chunpeng took out the key, opened the door, and walked into the dim and damp basement.
Xu Kun was guarding outside the door, looking around vigilantly.
"Boss." Xu Kun adjusted the headset of the intercom and whispered, "I feel that there is something wrong with He Chunpeng. He seems to be afraid of us discovering something."
"I can see that too." Zhong Haiyang also responded in a low voice: "Put these things aside for now. The first priority now is to protect his safety and find the masked man.
"I understand." Xu Kun agreed and continued to wait quietly.
A few minutes later, the time came to 10:48 pm. He Chunpeng pushed open the door and walked out of the basement.
"Mr. He, are you done?" Xu Kun asked.
He Chunpeng nodded and smiled at Xu Kun.
Then, the two walked to the living room together.
Halfway through, He Chunpeng suddenly said in a low and fast voice: "I'm going to the bathroom. "
Xu Kun rolled his eyes helplessly and could only follow He Chunpeng to the bathroom door silently.
After He Chunpeng went in, the sound of running water was heard soon.
The night outside the window became deeper and thicker.
It was like a huge black curtain covering the whole world.
There was no starlight or moonlight
The wind was howling, making the dry branches creak.
In the darkness, it seemed that some unknown fear was waiting for an opportunity.
In the living room, Zhong Haiyang was discussing the next plan with several police officers.
Zhong Haiyang frowned and said, "Although He Chunpeng is temporarily safe this time, we can't take it lightly at the moment."
Xiao Hu nodded and responded, "Yes, we have to strengthen the protection of He Chunpeng and continue to search for the traces of the masked man."
Lu Meihua whispered, "Captain Zhong, don't you think our mission is going too smoothly this time? "
Just then, Cai Xiaoming suddenly sniffed hard like a vigilant hound.
"Xiaoming, what are you doing?" Xiaohu asked in confusion: "What are you smelling?"
Cai Xiaoming frowned and asked back: "Do you smell the burnt's smell?"
Burning smell?
Several people sniffed hard.
A faint smell of burning permeated the air, making people feel nervous.
"What's going on?"
Several people quickly scanned the surroundings, not missing any corner, but found no signs of fire.
But where did this smell come from?
Zhong Haiyang strode towards the bathroom and knocked on the bathroom door with a little force.
"Mr. He, we smell a burning smell, can you come out and take a look?"
As if he was afraid that He Chunpeng couldn't hear clearly, Zhong Haiyang raised his voice.
"Mr. He? "
However, He Chunpeng in the bathroom did not answer him.
There was only the sound of running water.
Zhong Haiyang's brows twisted into a knot, and he raised his voice again and shouted several times in a row.
But there was still no answer behind the door.
An ominous premonition instantly surged into Zhong Haiyang's heart.
He pushed the door tentatively, but the door did not move at all!
Zhong Haiyang suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.
"Mr. He? !"
Zhong Haiyang kicked up without hesitation, and with a loud bang, the bathroom door was kicked open fiercely.
However, there was nothing inside the door, and He Chunpeng disappeared without a trace!
What happened?
Where is He Chunpeng?
Lu Meihua seemed to realize something key and shouted: "Quick! Basement! "
When everyone heard this, they immediately rushed to the basement like an arrow from a bow.
As soon as they arrived at the stairs of the basement, they smelled a pungent smell of smoke!
The smell that Cai Xiaoming smelled came from here.
"Break the door!" Zhong Haiyang immediately ordered without any hesitation.
Cai Xiaoming looked down and kicked the door of the basement open with a fierce kick.
When the solid wood door of the basement opened, a red light rushed in.
The burning flames, like a ferocious beast, instantly dazzled everyone's eyes.
And everyone clearly saw that in the center of the flames, there seemed to be a twisted person lying!
