Madness of the Heart

Gun battles are common here, and the men, women and children who were huddled on the road just now hid in the shops along the way.

Bullets rained down from the direction of two streets diagonally behind, and the surrounding windows that were not covered by iron plates collapsed to pieces with a "crash".

The several shots fired by Mingshu hit the abdomen and thigh of the two men.The moment the gunshots stopped, he ducked into a narrow alley and observed the situation outside under the cover of the wall.

Everything is unclear at the moment. The purpose of his and Liu Zhiqin's coming here is only to investigate the clues on Yin Zhen, and they have no intention of affecting the smoky battle in Epole City. Even if someone thinks they are suspicious, they shouldn't do it at this time.

But the person who fired the shots was obviously coming towards them. If he and Liu Zhiqin hadn't reacted so quickly, the first few shots would have passed through their backs and heads.

Who wants their lives?

Several jeeps were rampaging on the street, and Mingshu saw in the mirror that the people getting off the jeeps were all dressed as mercenaries, they were strong and holding rifles in both hands.

They spoke the E language and were searching the streets and alleys.

The tactical vest that Mingshu wears inside has a bulletproof function, but now all he can use is a pistol for self-defense, and the bullets are not enough, rushing out of the hiding place rashly is simply looking for death.

He quickly looked around and found that Liu Zhiqin had climbed to the top of a building diagonally opposite at some point.

If there is a sniper rifle, it can form a firepower advantage from high to low.

Obviously, Liu Zhiqin also saw Mingshu, made a calm gesture, and pointed to the south.

Mingshu immediately understood that backup would arrive soon.

But the enemy is faster.

A group of mercenaries suddenly surrounded from the other side of the narrow alley, and the bullets were like the flames of death, piercing through the oil and gas tanks piled up at the entrance of the alley.

There was a loud bang, and the flames shot up from the ground. The glass, bricks and tiles in the entire alley were all shattered, and dozens of fireballs were thrown into the air with the explosion, like fire from the sky.

Before the explosion, under Liu Zhiqin's urgent signal, Mingshu shot out of the alley like an arrow from the string, but still failed to escape the impact of the shock wave.

The moment the airflow rushed over, he seemed to be wrapped in flames, his eardrums were almost pierced by the loud noise, and his whole body flew forward with difficulty, crashing heavily into a fabric stall that could not be dismantled in the future.

The fireball smashed down, and the cloth was about to explode!

Mingshu's pupils narrowed sharply, and he rolled quickly. The moment he left the fabric stand, the fireball burned the colorful fabric into a sea of ​​flames.

Bullets were coming from all directions, and Mingshu had severe tinnitus, making it difficult to tell the direction by the gunshots.

He is now on the street, taking cover in a car that has been riddled with numerous bullet holes.The car was about ten meters away from the nearest alley, and if he was fast enough and lucky enough, he might be able to rush in.

But this is too risky.

He looked through the rearview mirror of the car, and more than a dozen mercenaries were shooting in the direction of the car, but suddenly he noticed that several of them were looking in one direction vigilantly.

That was where Liu Zhiqin was hiding!

He couldn't hear clearly for the time being, so he couldn't hear Liu Zhiqin's cry. At this moment, he looked up to the top of the building and saw Liu Zhiqin's hand gesture.

"I'll cover you! Withdraw!"

Liu Zhiqin also only had one pistol. At this time, he did not know where to pick up a rifle. The equipment was not good enough, but being in a high place was the biggest advantage.

Mingshu inhaled the air with strong gunpowder smoke and bloody smell, adjusted his posture, fired several shots in the direction of the jeep, and rushed towards the alley more than ten meters away with all his strength.

At the moment when he acted, Liu Zhiqin fired a sharp shot, which restrained the firepower of the mercenaries and bought him extremely precious time to retreat.

When he was only a few steps away from the alley, Mingshu took a diving leap, fell to the ground and rolled over, and a dozen bullets flew past his body. If he was slow for a moment, all of those bullets would have penetrated into his chest and abdomen.

The safety was extremely short, he leaned against the wall and panted violently.

All that just happened in seconds. In a few minutes, he was already in a state of embarrassment, and walked in front of the god of death. Fortunately, his clothes were seriously damaged, and a small color was hung on his forehead.

He vigorously wiped the ashes off his face, shook his buzzing head, and his hearing gradually recovered, when suddenly he heard another burst of gunfire.

Gunshots came from the south, mixed with the roar of engines.

The mercenaries were immediately attracted by the "uninvited guest", and in an instant, countless guns were aimed at the Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle.

Xu Chun slammed the steering wheel, and Fang Yuanhang held a pistol and kept shooting forward. He never expected that the first time he went on a "cross-country business trip", he caught up with the gunfight!

"Exciting!" Fang Yuanhang roared while changing the magazine: "Did you see Xiao Ming?"

"There are still three blocks!" Xu Chun used to be a member of the special police corps, and he is considered to be the person with the most combat experience in the serious crime team. It is not uncommon for him to experience today's situation.

Fang Yuanhang punctured the wheel of a jeep, and the jeep lost control instantly and swooped towards the truck parked next to it.

"Where is Xiao Bureau?" Fang Yuanhang was covered in sweat, "Xiao Bureau hasn't arrived yet?"

"Worry about yourself!" Xu Chun slammed the gas pedal, "I saw that brother in Los Angeles."

Fang Yuanhang looked up distractedly, and saw Liu Zhiqin on the roof not far away, holding a rifle in his hand.

That's a good commanding height, but there are too many mercenaries below, if they don't disperse all of them, they can't rush to meet them.

"Day! Xiao Ming must be there too!" Fang Yuanhang said.

At this moment, an armor-piercing projectile pierced the fuel tank of a jeep.

"boom!"

Flames erupted from the ground, and the surrounding mercenaries were thrown several meters away by the shock wave. A small vacuum was temporarily formed under the building where Liu Zhiqin was.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Mingshu's heart suddenly clenched.

Just listening, he also knew that it was Xiao Yuan's sniper rifle!

On an eight-storey building, Xiao Yu'an rested his sniper rifle on a small sandbag, and looked down at the alley where Liu Zhiqin and Mingshu avoided through the optical sight with eagle-like gaze.

The jeep was burning, and the scene was extremely chaotic. The cars of Xu Chun and Fang Yuanhang were about to arrive.

One armor-piercing bullet is not enough, the retreating mercenaries will rush back soon.

Xiao Yu'an pursed the corners of his lips, breathed very lightly, and withdrew his hair continuously, using firepower to forcefully open a relatively safe passage for the rescue below.

"Master!" The off-road vehicle braked suddenly, Fang Yuanhang kicked the door and shouted, "Come up!"

Mingshu rushed into the car, immediately picked up the assault rifle on the back seat, and fired at the mercenaries diagonally ahead.

Ten seconds later, Liu Zhiqin, smelling of smoke and dust all over, closed the car door with a "bang".

Flames sputtered, the off-road vehicle made seven bends and eight turns on the road, Xu Chun just drove towards the eight-story building in the west direction.

Xiao Yu'an put away his sniper rifle and quickly evacuated. Before Xu Chun arrived, he drove another off-road vehicle to the outside of the city.

The two cars were running wildly in the night, and when he learned that Xiao Yu'an was alone in the car in front, Ming Shu was both nervous and a little proud.

The mercenaries did not catch up, Fang Yuanhang was completely surprised, "What did you do?"

Mingshu was exhausted, "I want to ask more, what did you do?"

"Us?" Fang Yuanhang said, "We didn't do anything! I wanted to go to the black market, but was stopped by Bureau Xiao, who said that now is not the time."

Xu Chun also said: "Then I received news from Brother Liu. Your apprentice, who had never seen the world, was stunned at the time, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Jue Xiao was here, and he immediately gave countermeasures—we Come to meet you, he found the commanding heights to provide fire cover."

Fang Yuanhang hurriedly interrupted, "Don't call me so useless, please? Whose gun is leading the way?"

After speaking, he turned to Mingshu again, "This time I have seen Xiao Ju's ability."

Ming Shu put on a face—literally, pushed his apprentice's head away, frowned and said: "Since no one did anything, why did Teacher Liu and I encounter an ambush as soon as we left with Yin Zhen's clues? I I'm sure those people want to kill us, but why aren't they chasing us now?"

Liu Zhiqin closed his eyes and rested his mind for a while, and then he opened his mouth, "I think their equipment looks like TRK, an old gang in Epole City. Many of the underground transactions in Epole City have passed through their hands. Maybe It was our appearance that made them aware of some kind of danger. The law of the jungle is followed here, and status, money, and even the right to live are all earned by force, so they are very sensitive."

Fang Yuanhang "tsk tsk" twice, shook his head and said, "I have seen what is called 'lawlessness' today."

Soon, the Jeep in front stopped on the side of the road.Xu Chun also stopped quickly.

Mingshu pushed open the car door, "I'll change to another car."

The last jeep overtook it, and Mingshu got on the co-driver, "Brother."

He looks really bad now, there is no good part of the leather jacket, his face is covered with smoke and dust, and the blood on his forehead has not been cleaned.

Xiao Yu'an stared for a moment, his pupils radiated obvious danger.

"Head hurts a bit, tinnitus, it's fine now." Mingshu confessed honestly, "It's not serious, but if you're not here, I might tell you I'm in that alley."

Xiao Yuan started the car and said after a while: "Yin Zhen is a 'donor' of TRK, that is, he spends money to support them. In a gang of TRK's size, there are many 'donors', and Yin Zhen is just the bottom one. 'Donors'. Even so, they will take care of Yin Zhen."

Ming Shu said: "So, as soon as Mr. Liu and I contact Yin Zhen's subordinates, we will be noticed?"

"I judge that they don't know the purpose of our trip, they just guard the people who live in that small building because of Yin Zhen." Xiao Yuan said: "This year, when they can no longer get funds from Yin Zhen , the relationship between the two will be broken.”

Mingshu looked at the lights ahead—they were about to reach Kroga City, "Brother, I'll take a nap for a while."

"En." Xiao Yu'an's voice was lower than usual, "I'll call you when we arrive."

In fact, Mingshu didn't fall asleep, he closed his eyes, and everything he experienced not long ago was staged in his mind.Sudden explosions, raindrops of bullets, fireballs splashing everywhere, and the howling sound of the jeep.

Movies always love to portray a person who thinks of the most important person in his life, unfulfilled wishes, and left regrets when a person is at a critical moment of life and death.

But in reality, he didn't think of anything, even Xiao Yuan didn't have time to think about it.When he was rolling wildly in the hail of bullets, his only thought was to survive, and he must not die.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of a heavy sniper rifle that he suddenly woke up. His beloved was protecting him in a place he couldn't see for the time being.

As a criminal police officer, he rarely faced such dangers as today.But similar situations were commonplace for Xiao Yuan in the past.

A few years ago, he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly asked Xiao Yu'an: "Brother, did you think of me when you were in the most dangerous time?"

Xiao Yu'an was silent for a long time, and said seriously: "No."

He remembered pursing his lips at the time, feeling incomprehensible.

Now that I think about it, I am simply hypocritical.

When I think of the most dangerous time, I must survive.

Only by surviving can you return to your lover.

The car was parked outside a hospital.

The doctors and nurses seemed to be used to the wounded in gang fights, and they were not surprised by their arrival.

Mingshu did several checks. The wound on the head was treated with medicine, but it was not wrapped in gauze, and it looked a bit hideous.

Xiao Yu'an pulled the person over, looked carefully, and then let go, "It's okay, the scar won't be visible once it's gone."

Mingshu said, "What about leaving scars?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "This kind of wound won't leave a scar, but during the long wound, you have to keep your mouth shut."

"Then what if it stays?" Ming Shu stretched out his hand to touch the wound, "I'm almost thirty, and the older I get, the easier it is to leave scars."

Hearing this sentence, Fang Yuanhang was about to say—Master, a scar is a medal of a man, so he heard Xiao Yu'an say: "I really won't stay, take ten thousand steps back, even if I stay, our Ming team should still be the same handsome."

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

Do people who can't talk—like me—deserve to be single?

Mingshu's original plan was to withdraw after finding out the necessary clues.However, the gun battle that took place in Epole City inevitably exposed the group to the sight of the local police.And long before coming to Country E, everyone knew that the black market here could develop to such an extent that the police must be involved.

"Don't want to detain us here?" Fang Yuanhang was worried, "That what T... They chased us and killed them. If they didn't fight back, we would have hung our corpses to dry on the top of the city now!"

"Hanghang is still a little tender." Liu Zhiqin smiled at the side, "We have neither touched the real shady scene in the local area, nor challenged the authority of the police. Now the police are not thinking about how to deal with us, but fear."

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Afraid of the future? Why are you afraid of the future?"

"If something happens to us, it will be a troublesome matter for the local police." Mingshu explained: "After all, we entered the country through formal channels and did not do anything illegal, but we were attacked for no reason. , this is an international dispute.”

Fang Yuanhang suddenly realized, "Then Director Xiao will go this trip..."

"It's just a basic negotiation." Ming Shu couldn't help himself, and scratched at the scar on his forehead from time to time, "When Jue Xiao comes back, it will be clear why we were attacked."

Ming and Liu were right. The police in Kroga City had already noticed it when the serious crime team arrived in Kroga City. I will stop asking.However, the sudden attack launched by TRK caused the police to complain endlessly. If someone was killed, one stone would cause a thousand waves, and it would be hard to say that the black market that spread like a tumor to all corners of Kloga City would not be bottomed out.

"We were misunderstood as Interpol's undercover agent." Xiao Yu'an said: "TRK has been on the Interpol blacklist, and has lost power in the gang fight in Kroga City. Two months ago, the leader of TRK was assassinated, and now the new The person who took the stage acted impetuously and suspiciously, and they caused many gun battles in and around Kroga City recently. Even the local police are no longer willing to protect them."

"Fuck!" Fang Yuanhang said angrily, "I almost died!"

Mingshu slapped his apprentice on the head, "Can't you speak nicely?"

Fang Yuanhang didn't know which muscle was wrongly threaded, and blurted out: "Sounds good? Okay—what's so terrible about death? Our Ming team should be as handsome as possible!"

Mingshu: "..."

Xiao Yu'an: "..."

Fang Yuanhang thought to himself: Damn, what am I talking about?

Xu Chun, who didn't know the reason, was very supportive, "Well said!"

"I also got some valuable information from the police - if there was no gun battle, I don't think they would be willing to tell me." Xiao Yu'an said: "The four people, Yin Zhen, He Yang, Jiang Xiyang, and Yue Shuqing, all They have been registered in the police system, and the other three, like Yin Zhen, are 'donors' of various gangs."

Fang Yuanhang couldn't help interrupting, "But what are they planning? Do they have money but no place to use it?"

Mingshu said: "Maybe it's the fun of these people. Before you came to the serious crime team, there was a suspect in a case who once supported tens of millions of illegal armed forces in a certain country for war."

Xiao Yu'an continued: "They gave me a list of people who are more active in the black market in Kellogg City and have Chinese nationality. Among them, there may be the murderer's next target."

Mingshu said: "If you change your mind, the murderer himself may be hiding in it."

"Let's see, let's see!" Fang Yuanhang immediately went to the computer. The police gave a list of 118 people, which was beyond Fang Yuanhang's imagination. Just like Yue Shuqing, bypass the customs and enter Country E!"

"118 people seem like a lot, but think about it." Mingshu said: "Scattering them all over the country is actually only a very small part."

Just when Fang Yuanhang was sighing, Liu Zhiqin had already completed the screening of the list, "Among the 118 people, only 12 people met the conditions - that is, only [-] people had an intersection with Yin Zhen, and the scope was narrowed down at once. Comparing the information that Xiao Ming obtained from Cherish, this range can be further narrowed."

In the USB flash drive cherished to Mingshu, all the victims of the game in March three years ago were recorded, but the guests invited by Yin Zhen only had photos and code names, but no real identities.

Xiao Yu'an stepped forward and asked, "Have all the identities been verified?"

"It would take some time, but with your list." Liu Zhiqin raised his head, "It's done."
