Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 164 Battle on the ship!
The axe fell immediately...

At the same time, a drop of sweat dripped from Luo Rui's forehead onto the surface of his shoes.

The man who pushed the door took a look inside and saw the short man lying there. He uttered "Huh".

In the corner of my eye, a shadow appeared from the void.

Then his pupils constricted and he wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late.

The axe blade hit his right hand directly, and his palm broke off and jumped onto the ground like a piece of yellow lotus root.

Suddenly, blood gushed out like a faucet being turned on.

Luo Rui used such great force that a big cut was made on the door panel.

"what!"

The man let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Just as he was about to cover the broken wound, Luo Rui raised the axe in his hand and hit his jaw with the back of the axe.

The man fell directly on his back, and the soft tissue of his entire jaw sank into his throat!

This series of actions happened in a flash. His companion did not run away, but approached him. Luo Rui dodged and let him into the house.

Afterwards, Luo Rui closed the door, leaned against it, and confronted the man.

Luo Rui calculated in his mind that there were seven people who held him hostage, two of whom he had knocked down. There were still four people outside the house, including the scarred man who was the leader.

But Luo Rui didn't know how many people were on the ship.

As long as the person confronting him yelled, he would be in danger of being surrounded, not to mention that they had guns in their hands.

But the tall man in front of him did not call for help, but instead made a fighting gesture.

People from Korea are used to being brave and aggressive, and they probably hang out on the streets a lot.

The despicable streets are home to a group of fearless thugs who only speak with their fists.

No wonder they dared to attack the jingcha. They must have done this a lot in South Korea.

Luo Rui sneered but did not put down the axe.

Seeing that Luo Rui didn't want to fight him bare-handed, the man picked up a steel bar from the corner. The cross-section of the steel bar was an oblique triangle. If hit, it would be as sharp as the tip of a knife.

The man rushed over directly, and his movements were so fast that the steel bar just pierced Luo Rui's neck.

This man was too vicious and wanted to pierce his throat directly.

Then, the steel bar swept across, and if Luo Rui had not lowered his head to dodge, it would have hit him directly in the face.

My goodness, this guy must have practiced before, otherwise he wouldn’t be so confident.

"Xiba!"

The man cursed, spun his left foot, flipped his body, leaped forward, and swept his kick like a spring.

Luo Rui ran forward, then knelt on the floor, leaned back, and slid forward on his knees.

The spring leg swept over his head, and the wind from the leg lifted up his hair.

The two people exchange positions, and whoever moves faster has the upper hand.

At this time, they all had their backs to each other. Luo Rui turned around and chopped down with the axe in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the man moved quickly, turned around, and grasped the steel bar with both hands to resist.

"Kang!"

The axe hit the steel bar, picking up a spark, and the steel bar broke in the middle.

If the man hadn't reacted quickly, the axe would have hit him directly on the back of the head, which would have been a real disaster.

Seeing that his attack missed, Luo Rui kicked under the axe.

The man was kicked in the chest and took a step back, but unexpectedly, his steps were blocked by the short man's body.

He staggered backwards and was about to fall.

Luo Rui didn't give him a chance. He jumped forward and kicked him in the head.

The man was unable to dodge and was kicked in the face again, causing his body to fall backwards.

At the same time, he stabbed the broken steel bar in his hand into Luo Rui's leg.

But because of his obstructed vision, he couldn't aim accurately, and the steel bar slipped past Luo Rui's calf, only piercing his trouser leg and injuring his skin.

Time waited for no one. As soon as Luo Rui's body hit the ground, he chopped down with the axe in his hand as hard as if he was chopping wood.

He was aiming at the man's head, but Luo Rui twisted his wrist and hit the man's left shoulder directly.

The axe blade sank directly into the opponent's bones.

The street hustlers in Korea are very resilient. If they are given a chance to catch their breath, no matter how badly they are injured, they will be able to fight back.

So, Luo Rui didn't stop, picked up the axe and chopped at the man's leg again.

"Ah! Shit! Ah!"

The man was like a wriggling earthworm on the ground, unable to stop screaming in pain.

In order to avoid attracting people with his shouting, Luo Rui picked up a bone from the ground and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He made a whimpering sound from his mouth, his injured left thigh twitched uncontrollably, and blood continued to ooze out.

If Luo Rui had used a little more force, his thigh might have been removed directly.

Seeing that he had lost the ability to move, Luo Rui sat down on a chair, put the axe on his knees, and gasped heavily.

He was very tired in recent days. In addition to not eating for one day, he also stayed up for two consecutive nights.

His spirit was always tense.

Seeing that the three people on the ground had fainted, Luo Rui stood up from his chair. He walked to the innermost part of the room and looked outside through the air vent.

What meets the eye is the rippling river surface, snowflakes falling, and the weather is gloomy.

There is a village on the shore, and there are people there.

He was very familiar with this place. When he was a child, he and his father had fished here. In spring and summer, there were many sand boats and strong trackers on the river, but now they can no longer be seen.

It is early winter now and no ships can be seen on the river, but he knows that this place is almost close to Guangxing City.

In another half an hour, you will see the lighthouse and then the Guangxing City pier.

These bastards are most likely to hand themselves over at the dock.

Who is paying the price and who wants to kill me?
Luo Rui must understand that one cannot sit and wait for death. Only by taking the initiative can one have a chance to survive.

Luo Rui searched the three men and found that the guy with the broken hand actually had a gun.

This gun is a police service pistol, Type 77, and the magazine is full, with a total of seven rounds of bullets.

This may have been searched from Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei.

Luo Rui’s marksmanship is not good, but to deal with the people outside, relying only on the axe in his hand is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

He couldn't find anything to eat in the house, so he endured the hunger and took off the black suit of the man at the door and put it on himself.

These guys love to wear suits, almost everyone does.

Those who hang out on the streets have a lot of cards.

Luo Rui took out a pack of foreign cigarettes from his suit jacket pocket. He was really hungry.

He took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took two deep puffs. He felt his stomach tighten and he was no longer panicky or anxious.

He cheered himself up, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, a gun in his right hand and an axe in his left hand, he kicked the door open and strode out.

……

With a freshly lit cigarette between his lips, Chen Hao felt as if he were alive again.

The fatigue caused by staying up late for consecutive nights was swept away.

He pushed open the door of Wan Mingxia's office and walked straight in.

He saw that Comberlin was also inside, and the two seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing him, Wan Mingxia and Kang Bolin immediately stopped talking. The former looked alert and immediately asked, "Chen Hao, didn't you go back to rest?"

Seeing him like this, Kang Bolin had a bad feeling, so he quickly left Wan Mingxia's desk and retreated to the side of the coffee table.

That means if you want to cause trouble, don't look for me. It has nothing to do with me.

There was no ashtray in the office. Hu Changyu was a smoker, and Chen Hao saw his ashtray thrown into the trash can.

He walked over, picked up the glass ashtray from the trash can, and placed it heavily on the desk.

Wan Mingxia was startled by him and leaned back quickly.

Chen Hao took the cigarette butt from his lips and put it out in the ashtray.

A wisp of thick smoke floated up in front of Wan Mingxia's eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands and coughed twice.

"Chen Hao, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? I want to ask you what you mean? As far as I know, you now regard Luo Rui as X?! You think he is the murderer who killed Yao Chun's family of three?! Is that right?"

Wan Mingxia glared at him: "Who told you that?"

"Everyone in the police station knows about it! Do I need someone to tell me? Director Wan, you have a good plan. You want to get me out of here and label Luo Rui a criminal? I want to ask you, what is your plan?"

Wan Mingxia stood up from her office chair: "Chen Hao, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. We have extracted Luo Rui's fingerprints and biological traces from Yao Chun's home, and the dagger that killed her family also had his fingerprints.

That dagger also killed Jiang Dawei. Moreover, in the nearby woods, we found the pistol that killed Li Xueming, and it also had Luo Rui's fingerprints. I ask you, how do you explain this?"

Chen Hao squinted at her: "Fingerprints? Biological traces? Didn't I tell you? Luo Rui went to Yao Chun's house early this morning to investigate X. He went with Jiang Dawei and Li Xueming!
The most likely person who killed these people was X... or someone else, and then framed Luo Rui! Don't you have any doubts about such an obvious thing?

Who is Luo Rui? The criminal team leader of two police stations! How many cases has he solved for us? Could he be the murderer?
His whereabouts are unknown now, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead, and you are still throwing dirty water on him?"

Wan Mingxia was also furious. She immediately yelled, "Chen Hao, how dare you! What do you mean by framing someone? When we investigate a case, we focus on evidence. You are the head of the criminal investigation detachment, you should understand! Now all the evidence points to Luo Rui. He is the number one suspect!"

Chen Hao sneered, he looked at Kang Bolin, who took another step back, and he stared at Wan Mingxia again.

"Okay, okay! Then let me ask you, you said Luo Rui is X? What about this evidence? When the robbery happened at the Guangxing Jewelry Store, Luo Rui was still in Luming Mountain. He risked his life to rescue a group of people down the mountain, and then rescued Wu Dahao from the Guangxing City Bureau! Let me ask you, did he have time to commit the crime?"

Wan Mingxia took a breath and replied, "He's not the only criminal. He doesn't have to do it himself. You've seen that X is very cunning and smart. Luo Rui fits the bill perfectly!"

Chen Hao was so angry that he laughed: "Ha, this is really interesting. At first, you didn't admit that there was a mastermind behind this. Director Hu was under such great pressure. Because of this matter, he is now in prison.

Well, Luo Rui and I have found some clues, and you admit the existence of X! Wan Mingxia, you came here and even slandered Luo Rui! What is your intention? "

Although Chen Hao is focused on the case and doesn't ask about other things, it doesn't mean that he is deaf.

What does Luo Rui represent, who is he on the same side with, and is this a malicious conspiracy?
Chen Hao has a grasp of all of these.

These words directly made Wan Mingxia tremble with anger. She pointed at Chen Hao and said, "You... Chen Hao, let me tell you, I always do things with a clear conscience!"

Chen Hao took a step closer and looked at her without blinking: "Really?"

Wan Mingxia felt frightened by the green ghost's gaze.

No one knows whether her butt is clean or not, and maybe even she herself doesn't know.

Even if you are in a high position and have nothing to lose, you may still be incorruptible, but you cannot handle the arrogance and disregard for laws by your family members.

How many people have fallen into the hands of their wives, sons or daughters.

Wan Mingxia was furious, her face turned pale, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Chen Hao saw from the corner of his eye that Kang Bolin kept winking at him, but he ignored him.

Seeing Wan Mingxia's furious look, Chen Hao didn't want to be aggressive, so he said, "Director Wan, I don't want you to prove your innocence, but Luo Rui can't be wrongly accused. This case is so big, I want to join the investigation, you can't give me a 'holiday'!"

Before Wan Mingxia could speak, Chen Hao's voice rang out.

"Qinggui, no one will give you a day off! Now you are the soul of the Linjiang City Police Department, and you are needed for Investigation X!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Hao turned around and saw Zhu Yong standing behind him.

In addition to him, there were many other people, including Wu Dahao, who were all in plain clothes and carrying briefcases. Chen Hao was surprised and hurriedly called out, "Captain Zhu."

Kang Bolin also hurried to greet him and glanced at Chen Hao with grievance.

Wan Mingxia came out from behind the desk and said, "Captain Zhu, you're here."

Zhu Yong curled his lips and said, "I've been here for a long time and have been listening to you guys quarreling here. It's okay to quarrel, but you didn't close the office door and let the people below hear it. How can that be disgraceful?"

Wan Mingxia lowered her head in grievance, and Chen Hao did not comment.

Kang Bolin trotted and quickly closed the door.

Zhu Yong sat on the sofa in the reception room, then looked at everyone: "Everyone sit down, tell me what's going on now?"

Wan Mingxia sighed and said, "Captain Zhu, it's like this..."

She explained the whole story of the case in detail, and tried to gloss over the parts she didn't understand, but Chen Hao immediately took over and added some details.

He particularly emphasized the relationship between Yao Chun and X, and that Li Xue, as an employee of X, had been killed.

Chen Hao wanted to link the murders of Yao Chun's family of three, Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei to X.

But Wan Mingxia disagreed. Based on the clues she had obtained from the investigation, she still listed Luo Rui as the first suspect.

Zhu Yong was overwhelmed by what he heard.

He reached out to stop the two from arguing and asked, "It's easy to understand that Luo Rui left biological traces at the scene, after all, he had contact with the five victims, but it's hard to explain that there were his fingerprints on the murder weapon. However, let's look at it from another perspective. If he is really the murderer, what is his motive for committing the crime?"

After hearing this, Chen Hao looked at Wan Mingxia, meaning to let her speak.

Wan Mingxia answered without hesitation: "Yao Chun was raped before his death."

Chen Hao sneered: "Ha, let me ask you what the time of death was like? Who was killed first?"

Wan Mingxia picked up the forensic report from the table: "Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei were killed first, followed by Yao Chun's parents, and then herself."

Chen Hao snorted, "You mean, Luo Rui killed his two colleagues on the way to Yao Chun, and then returned to Yao Chun's home to commit the crime? Luo Rui would do this on a snowy day? So low-level, so childish?"

The following words were ambiguous and without a subject, but Wan Mingxia knew he was talking about herself.

Immediately, she wanted to get angry, but at this time someone knocked on the office door.

Wan Mingxia walked over, opened the door, and found that it was the head of the Technical Investigation Department.

He handed her a stack of information in his hand, which included dozens of photos that had just been taken.

“Director Wan, we found several footprints in the woods near where the car was abandoned. Because it was snowing in the early morning, the footprints were covered by snow, so we didn’t find them right away.

In addition, the scene where Lao Li and Uncle Jiang were killed was also found, on a dirt road two kilometers away from where the car was abandoned.

When Uncle Jiang was killed, his blood flowed into the mud and the bloodstains were covered up. In addition, there was a car at the scene, and the photos showed tire marks. Many blurred footprints were also found at the scene, but the scene had been vandalized.

However, after comparison, we found that there should have been seven or eight people at the scene.

Also, there are signs that Yao Jun’s home has been cleaned by someone!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.

Everyone looked at Wan Mingxia, her face turning red and then pale.

This was an obvious frame-up. The scene had been cleaned up manually, and there were still seven or eight people at the scene.

In fact, if you think about it, Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei both have martial arts skills. If they were not held hostage, there would be no signs of a fight.

If Luo Rui dealt with the two of them alone, he would definitely leave marks on them.

It is understandable that Wan Mingxia speculated that Luo Rui was the murderer based on the fingerprints of the murder weapon that were found first.

Moreover, she did not make this idea public. It was Chen Hao who heard the gossip and came to question her.

Wan Mingxia blushed and said nothing. She couldn't and shouldn't apologize.

Chen Hao did not add insult to injury. He had been a criminal policeman for more than ten years and understood very well that as long as there was indicative evidence, the suspect must be identified. Even if he was wrong, he would immediately overturn it. This was very normal.

He just believed in Luo Rui and believed that he would not do such a heinous and evil thing, so he was so emotional before.

Zhu Yong didn't look relieved at all.

He said, "Obviously, this is a frame-up! There were seven or eight people at the scene, and the method used to cover up the scene was extremely crude. These people really think that we police officers are incompetent and think that they can just frame Luo Rui like this? The important thing now is, who are these people?"

He looked up at Chen Hao: "Could it be X?"

Chen Hao hesitated for a while, then replied: "It doesn't look like it. X is very cunning and would not be so blatant. Besides, the person who was in contact with Yao Chun was Li Xue, who is already dead. He didn't need to kill Yao Chun, let alone kill so many people, including our people. It would not be good for him to make a big fuss."

Zhu Yong pondered and said, "If we want to find X, can we only start from Li Xue?"

Before Chen Hao could answer, Wu Dahao next to him stood up. His leg injury was not serious, but he came over mainly to investigate the robbery of the jewelry store and the escort vehicle.

He said confidently: "Captain Chen, leave the pursuit of X to me. Don't worry, I will definitely catch him!"

Chen Hao glanced at his injured leg and said nothing.

Zhu Yong was also helpless, as Wu Dahao was forced upon him. He knew very well that if he could solve such a big case, he would get another medal of honor. If he could not catch X, his brother-in-law would not be held responsible anyway.

A good calculation.

Chen Hao ignored him and nodded to Zhu Yong, "Captain Zhu, Li Xue should have been killed after leaving the jewelry store. However, because this is a new case, the forensic doctor has not yet determined her time of death."

Zhu Yong nodded, he stood up and looked at everyone.

"Now let's assign the tasks. Chen Hao, you go and rest for two hours. After you wake up, go with Team Wu to investigate X. Kang Bolin will be in charge of the cases of Yao Chun's family of three, as well as the murders of Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei. We now have reason to believe that these two cases are not related for the time being and should have happened by chance. Also, whether he is dead or alive, we must find Luo Rui!"

……

This is a fishing boat, not big in size, with two floors.

Luo Rui is now on the lower floor. There are four rooms in total. Except for the one he just walked out of, the other two rooms are used to store goods, and the remaining one is a bedroom.

There were two bunk beds facing each other inside, but at this moment, there was no one inside.

There was a slightly pungent smell of urine in the cabin.

The space was small and the stairs were ten meters ahead. The wind was blowing down from there, bringing with it a few snowflakes.

No wonder no one noticed the loud noise of the fight just now. It turns out that everyone else was on the deck.

Luo Rui ran to the bottom of the stairs, looked up, and a snowflake fell on his nose and then melted into water.

He didn't see anyone, and he listened carefully but didn't hear any sound.

He hesitated for a moment and climbed the iron stairs.

The stairs are vertical, and if someone shoots down from above, Luo Rui will definitely die.

So he moved very quickly and jumped up almost in the blink of an eye.

He bent down and looked around. There was no one on the deck. Behind him was the cockpit window.

Luo Rui crouched down and carefully moved along the side of the ship. He saw the captain sitting in the cockpit, smoking and watching TV.

He didn't notice Luo Rui, but scratched his crotch, his eyes fixed on the pornographic video playing on TV.

Luo Rui crouched down and walked in, and without saying a word, he gently hit the back of the captain's neck with the back of the axe.

The captain fell to the ground along with his chair.

The wind on the river was very strong, making a whistling sound.

The air was cold. Luo Rui sniffed and smelled the scent of hot pot.

He swallowed and walked back along the side of the boat.

Scents and voices came from the stern.

There was a shed there made of aluminum sheets, with no door, but just enclosures at the stern and sides to keep the wind out.

Four people sat around a small table with a hot pot stove on the table, with hot smoke coming out of the stove.

Luo Rui looked carefully and found that among the four people, in addition to the man with the scar, there was also the guy who shot Li Xueming.

The man was wearing a black suit with a floral shirt underneath. The collar of the shirt was open wide, a typical Korean look.

The four men were shouting and yelling, chewing dog meat and drinking beer in big gulps.

Luo Rui thought of the scene when Li Xueming and Jiang Dawei were killed, and the anger in his heart surged!

He stood up and raised the gun in his right hand.

He strode forward, aimed at the scarred man, and pulled the trigger!

"boom!"

"boom!"

A bullet hit the scarred man in the shoulder, Luo Rui turned the gun around and shot the man in the flowered shirt down with another shot.

Two people were suddenly shot, and the other two wanted to move away from the table immediately.

"boom!"

Luo Rui fired a shot at the hot pot stove. Suddenly, the soup pot exploded and the boiling soup splashed everywhere!

Someone fired back, but Luo Rui ignored him and kept pulling the trigger, shooting the man backwards with holes all over his chest.

One person was killed, two were injured, and one man with a flat head was left.

He was very smart. He lifted the table with both hands, raised the table top and blocked the direction of the shooting.

The man with the scar and the man in the flowered shirt who was not dead yet immediately moved behind the table and hid their bodies.

Luo Rui kept walking forward with big strides.

At this time, the three sticks were hiding behind the round table, trembling.

The scarred man yelled a lot, and the uninjured man with the flat head mustered up his courage and pulled out his gun.

He leaned his head out from the side and fired in the direction of Luo Rui.

The bullet grazed Luo Rui's feet, splashing up a cloud of wood chips.

The flat-headed man quickly retracted his head.

The scarred man had heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. He was in trouble and cursed in Chinese: "Shit, come on, don't let him get close. He has no bullets left. Didn't you see he didn't fight back?"

The man with the flat head thought about it and immediately stood up, raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger.

Who knew that Luo Rui kept his hand raised and fired before him.

Because the distance was so close, the bullet went straight through his neck.

The flat-headed man opened his eyes wide, looked down at his boss, then leaned back and fell heavily on the deck.

The scarred man blinked and said, "I calculated that he must be out of bullets this time!"

This was not said to the man in the flowered shirt, because this guy was lying on the ground, covering his thigh with his hands. He had just been hit by a bullet and could no longer stand up.

The man with the scar was luckier because he was shot sideways, so he was only hit in the shoulder.

He held the gun in his hand, swallowed, and then stood up suddenly.

As soon as he showed up, Luo Rui threw the gun in his hand out with force.

The gun hit the scarred man's face hard.
He shouted "Shiba", raised his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The bullet grazed Luo Rui's abdomen, leaving a trace of blood.

The scarred man wanted to fire a second shot, but Luo Rui did not give him a chance.

The axe in his hand chopped down with great force and power.

The scarred man was terrified and wanted to drop his gun and run away, but it was too late.

The axe blade came down directly along with the pistol, and then hit his arm directly.

In an instant, the gun in the scarred man's hand fell on Class A.

His entire forearm was covered in flesh and blood, with white bones exposed, just like a candle cut open with a knife, revealing the wick inside.
