Chapter 170 Rats

"Fang Yu?"

Hearing the voice on the phone, the red shoes boss's hand trembled, and the dagger in his hand fell to the bathroom floor with a crisp "clang" sound.

He wanted to walk out of the bathroom and see what was happening outside, but he couldn't help but whispered, "Who are you?"

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Are you the mastermind behind this?"

"what?"

Fang Yu turned pale, was stunned for two seconds, then immediately hung up the phone, his body shaking uncontrollably.

He quickly took off the cover on the back of the phone, removed the battery board, and finally, with trembling hands, he took out the SIM card and threw it into the sewer.

He ran to the lobby of the cafe, carefully pushed open the glass door and looked outside. The street was busy with traffic, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

Fang Yu calmed himself down and went back to the bathroom.

He took out his cell phone, thinking of calling Tao Yanhong. Just as he was about to dial the number, he noticed that the policewoman's body seemed to move slightly.

Fang Yu squatted down and fumbled in the policewoman's pocket.

A Nokia mobile phone and an ID card appeared in his hand. He threw the phone aside, picked up the ID card and opened it. It was printed with the captain of the Haijiang District Criminal Investigation Brigade: Cai Xiaojing.

Criminal police captain?
He was completely stunned. He knew that the other party was a policeman, but he didn't know that the other party's position was so high!

Also, what happened to that phone call just now? From the tone of his voice, it seems that he is not an ordinary person. Could it be the police?

Why did the police find me?
Fang Yu was panicking, a bone-chilling chill spreading from his tailbone to his entire body.

Now is not the time to hide, but the time to survive!

To stay alive, you have to minimize the risks.

After much consideration, he made a decision.

Fang Yu picked up the rope on the ground and tied up the policewoman on the floor.

The effect of the medicine only lasts for an hour. After she wakes up, I may not be her opponent.

He walked out of the cafe and ran to the parking lot while paying attention to whether there was anything unusual on both sides of the street.

Soon, he drove the car to the door of the cafe, ran inside, carried the policewoman out and put her in the trunk.

After doing all this, he locked the door and drove away.

There is an abandoned children's playground on the outskirts of Guangxing City. It is rarely visited by people and the garden is overgrown with weeds.

He drove very steadily, trying his best not to attract the attention of the traffic police.

He had seen a movie before where a criminal was caught by the traffic police because his car’s taillights were not working. He was in big trouble.

He didn't want to be caught for such a ridiculous reason!

An hour later, the rusty iron gate of the amusement park appeared before our eyes. There were no street lights around and not a single ghost could be seen.

There is an activity room at the innermost part, which is very hidden. Fang Yu had been there before.

Fang Yu parked the car in front of the abandoned activity room, pushed open the rotten wooden door, and then carried Cai Xiaojing out of the trunk.

Because it was late at night, it was pitch dark in the activity room and nothing could be seen.

The wind blew in from the open door, raising a large amount of dust. Fang Yu couldn't help but sneeze.

He turned on the flashlight and saw a ping-pong table in the middle of the activity room, but its two legs were rotten and one side was collapsed.

A wooden box was placed in the corner. It was not completely closed. The six sides were nailed with wooden fences. There were gaps that allowed one to put one's hand in, but it was very sturdy.

I don’t know what this wooden box was used for before, but it’s perfect for carrying people.

Fang Yu walked over and placed the wooden box in the center, just facing the hook on the ceiling. Originally, this was where the ceiling fan should have been.

He took out a rope and threw it upwards. The rope just went around the hook and the other end fell in mid-air.

He tied one end of the rope to the wooden box, then picked up the policewoman and placed her inside the box.

At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly heard a rustling sound by his ears. He was startled and shone the flashlight in the direction. He found three huge rats running across the corner. The pungent smell made him vomit twice.

Fang Yu covered the wooden board, took out a hammer, and sealed the wooden box with nails.

Finally he picked up the rope, twisted it around his wrist, stepped back, and pulled the box hard.

The wooden box was hoisted up, and when it was almost reaching the ceiling, Fang Yu stopped and took a breath.

Looking at the policewoman in the wooden box, he felt a little scared, but there was nothing he could do.

I dare not kill him, you are kidding, this is the captain of the criminal police! If he dies in my hands, I will definitely lose my life.

What's more, the police are now watching you!

I dare not let him go. If I let him go, I will be dead.

We can only lock her up here and wait until the risk is over.

He was hoping for a lucky break, thinking that at worst he could negotiate terms with the police after being caught.

There is a window next to the door of the activity room. Although the iron window is rusty, it is still strong.

Fang Yu tied one end of the rope to the iron fence.

He clapped his hands, picked up the flashlight, and turned away.

After the light disappeared, rustling sounds were heard again in the activity room.

In a short while, the chirping sounds became more and more frequent.

Outside the activity room, the car turned and its headlights shone through the window onto the ceiling.

I saw a group of huge rats jumping onto the ceiling and running densely along the wire trough towards the hook.

As the car lights passed by, the rats bared their sharp white teeth.

One after another, they climbed up the rope...

With a "snap", a mouse was squeezed off the rope and fell beside Cai Xiaojing's legs, making a teeth-grinding "chirp" sound.

……

Back at the Red Shoes Cafe, Fang Yu hurriedly packed his things while calling Tao Yanhong.

He was on the second floor of the cafe at the moment. There was a very small space up from the iron stairs in the bathroom.

He took out the suitcase and stuffed clothes into it. The phone next to his ear was not connected.

But he couldn't care less. If he didn't leave quickly, he would be surrounded by the police.

Since the police have already found him, it is only a matter of time before they find this place.

Tao Yanhong?
Everyone wants what they need. A woman who is never satisfied has great desires, whether it is love or money.

Ten years ago, when Fang Yu met her, he was still a small manager in a nightclub. He was young, had little experience, and had little experience in doing things.

Tao Yanhong was very generous at that time and often came to the nightclub to drink, and she was always alone.

She had just given birth to a child and her sexual desire was particularly strong. Several waiters in the nightclub had had relationships with her.

But these young people didn't grit their teeth and persevere.

In the end, she chose Fang Yu as her long-term partner. Thinking back, she realized that she was attracted by him because he was young and educated.

What her husband couldn't give her, she could give herself. It was three centimeters long.

What her husband couldn't do, she could do. It was just a few whips and a few kicks in the crotch.

Being a slave is better than working for unscrupulous capitalists. Why waste your life on a hundred dollars a day of hard-earned money?

But what if it’s several thousand at a time?
In the end, Tao Yanhong felt relieved and paid for him to open this cafe.

Although it doesn't make money, this is where Tao Yanhong and he go on dates.

For example, in this small space on the second floor, there are all kinds of tools everywhere, all kinds of stuff.

In the past ten years, Fang Yu had received a lot of money from Tao Yanhong. If he used it frugally, it would be enough for him to spend for a lifetime.

This woman is so strong, she knows kung fu!
Fang Yu had been to her home. There was a special room in her home for sports equipment. He had sex with her in that room. At that time, her husband Qu Bo was still working in the convenience store.

Fang Yu never dared to resist her.

Even though this was a robbery case that alarmed Haidong Province, Fang Yu did not dare to disobey and helped to come up with ideas.

He wanted to get some money so that he could escape from this woman in the future.

He hasn't received the money yet, but in order to survive, he has no choice but to run away.

After packing the suitcase, Fang Yu took out all the cash he had saved from under the bed and put it into his backpack.

This is truly earned with all my blood and sweat.

Without money, escaping is harder than climbing to the sky.

He didn't want to be like Tang Xiong and other unlucky guys who died without knowing what happened.

Picking up his suitcase and carrying his bag, he climbed down the stairs.

When he arrived at the front hall, he suddenly saw someone sitting in the booth.

The neon lights outside shone on her face, flickering.

The woman was smoking a cigarette, her blood-red nails hovering in the air, and she was tilting her head to look at him.

Fang Yu was startled and his heart was pounding.

"When did you... come?"

Tao Yanhong stood up and put out the cigarette butt in the glass ashtray.

She laughed playfully: "Why? Want to run away?"

Fang Yu hesitated, "I...I just called you, but you didn't answer."

"How's that policeman? Was he dealt with?"

"It's done. I just took the body out and buried it." Fang Yu lied, "Big sister, you didn't tell me that this woman was the captain of the criminal police. I only found out after I took action. I was shocked."

Tao Yanhong came forward and stared at him: "Where is the body buried?"

"Put it in a woven bag and throw it into the river." Fang Yu said in panic: "But don't worry, I put a few big rocks in it so that it won't float up. This female detective can only sink to the bottom of the river forever."

"Well done, my dear."

Tao Yanhong stroked Fang Yu's cheek with her hand: "Let's do it once?"

Fang Yu's neck shrank, but the back of his head was grabbed.

"Be obedient, this time I'll let you wear a hood and ride a horse."

Looking at that evil look, Fang Yu felt a chill in his heart...

Just at this moment, a brisk bell rang from the bathroom.

Tao Yanhong frowned slightly and let him go immediately.

"what happened?"

Fang Yu pondered and said, "By the way, when I took action just now, I hadn't had time to deal with the policewoman's phone."

As he said that, he put down his suitcase and walked towards the bathroom.

When I found my phone, the ringing had stopped.

He glanced at the number and handed the phone to Tao Yanhong: "A man named Luo Rui called her."

Tao Yanhong nodded, picked up a goblet from behind the counter, and poured a glass of red wine.

"Here, have a drink."

Fang Yu said cautiously: "This..."

Tao Yanhong squinted at him: "What?"

Fang Yu explained: "You know I don't like drinking."

"is it?"

Tao Yanhong's expression turned cold and she kicked Fang Yu's knee. He screamed "Ah" and knelt on the ground with one foot.

He tried to run away, but a large hand suddenly clamped his jaw and pinched his lips open.

He climbed up Tao Yanhong's hands, trying to break free, but a knee hit his stomach hard, causing him to burp and his mouth to open.

The red wine immediately poured into his mouth and flowed down his throat.

His head was tilted back, he wanted to vomit but couldn't, so he could only swallow.

Tao Yanhong poured the wine into the cup and then let go of her hand.

Fang Yu immediately coughed a few times. He held the floor with both hands, lowered his head, and vomited continuously.

He immediately felt a cramp in his stomach and all the muscles in his body were cramping. Fang Yu immediately poked his index finger into his throat, trying to spit out all the liquid.

As soon as he moved, his body twitched and he fell to the ground.

He stared blankly at Tao Yanhong in front of him.

"Why...why? Why are you killing me?"

Tao Yanhong squatted down and shook her head.

"To survive!"

At this moment, the cell phone she dropped on the ground rang again, and two words appeared on the dark green screen: Luo Rui.

This is Cai Xiaojing's cell phone, which she just threw on the floor.

Fang Yu used all his strength, moved his body, stretched out his hand, and tried to grab the phone.

Seeing this, Tao Yanhong stood up and crushed the Nokia with one foot.

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

Fang Yu's eyelids kept fluttering, his mouth was foaming, and his body was twitching like a carp...

……

Guangxing People's Hospital.

The nurse hung the infusion bottle on the hook and was about to insert the needle into the vein on the back of Luo Rui's hand.

"Wait, let me make a call first."

Luo Rui's panic continued and he couldn't calm down no matter what he did.

He called Cai Xiaojing, and the phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

He was a little puzzled, and after calling again, it was still the same.

Luo Rui held the phone with a frown on his face.

Nurse: “What’s wrong?”

"Excuse me, I need to go out for a while!"

The nurse quickly advised: "Hey, your injury is not healed yet!"

Luo Rui didn't answer. He picked up his coat and walked out of the ward. Two criminal police officers from the Municipal Bureau were sitting on the chairs outside.

But they were both dozing off, so he didn't disturb them.

After leaving the hospital, he hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

"Master, go to Chuncheng Courtyard."

Half an hour later, he arrived at the place and saw that the convenience store opposite the community was still open.

Qu Bo was sitting behind the counter in a daze. When he raised his eyes, he saw a figure walking quickly to the counter. Before he could see the face clearly, the other person grabbed his collar and pulled him forward.

"Qu Bo!"

Qu Bo was startled and took a closer look, thinking that the man looked very familiar.

"Who the hell are you?"

Luo Rui opened his mouth, not knowing how to start. After thinking for a few seconds, he let go of Qu Bo's collar.

"where's your wife?"

Suddenly, Qu Bo's eyes widened, turned red, and the muscles on his face were trembling.

Like an angry beast!

"Well, you're riding on my head! Not only are you cheating on me, but you're also so arrogant!"

Qu Bo cursed loudly, picked up the fruit knife under the counter and stabbed at him.

Seeing his action, Luo Rui grabbed the wrist holding the knife.

"I'll kill you! Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Qu Bo had already collapsed. He tried to turn his wrist, but it was too tight and he couldn't do it. He had to use his other hand, clenched into a fist, to hit Luo Rui in the face.

Luo Rui moved so quickly that he first slapped him in the face and then grabbed his other hand.

"Are you crazy? Calm the fuck down!"

Qu Bo's hands were grabbed and there was a counter in front of him, so he couldn't move.

He yelled, "I'm calm? You slept with my wife, and you came to my place to find her. You're bullying me, you're bullying me!"

Luo Rui's expression froze, and he suddenly understood what was going on.

Could it be that Tao Yanhong cheated on Qu Bo?
Is this the reason why Qu Bo wanted to kill her?

No wonder when I first moved in, Qu Bo looked at me with disdain and hatred in his eyes.

He treats himself as his wife's mistress.

Qu Bo was still shouting at the top of his lungs: "Let me go! If I can't kill you, I'll kill that bitch. Damn it, I've had enough. Not only is she cheating on me, but my daughter is not mine either. Wuuuu... My daughter is not mine either!"

Luo Rui took a breath. What Tao Yanhong did was really amazing!
Luo Rui persuaded: "Qu Bo, listen to me, Sister Hong and I are not what you think, I have nothing to do with her!

I came to you because I saw that you wanted to kill her, right? Can you calm down? If I let you go, will you promise not to do it? "

Qu Bo didn't believe it and cried, "Fuck you, it's okay? The way she looked at you was wrong. I'm not stupid! For so many years, I endured humiliation and thought about them, but in the end, my daughter is someone else's child!
In Tao Yanhong's eyes, I am a loser! I want to be able to do it, but I can't stand up. Can you blame me? Can you blame me? I have been taking medicine for so many years, but it still doesn't work!

I'm such a useless person!"

Luo Rui was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He exerted force with his right hand, and Qu Bo couldn't bear the pain and the fruit knife he was holding fell onto the table.

Luo Rui took the opportunity to let him go, then picked up the knife and took two steps back.

Qu Bo leaned back and slid down the wall to the ground, his eyes bloodshot and he muttered to himself.

"I'm going to kill you, and I won't let Xiaolan go either!

I even prepared sleeping pills, ground them into powder, and let you eat them, and then die together! Don't think I don't know where you and Xiaolan went, damn it. Lie to me, do you think I don't know what you did, you stinky bitch, bitch!"

Luo Rui was planning to leave, but after hearing this, he became curious and asked, "What did she lie to you about?"

Qu Bo looked up at him and said, "She said she took Xiaolan back to her parents' home, but in fact she went on a date with her gigolo. The next day after she left, I was worried, so I drove to her parents' home to look for her. Who knew that this bitch left Xiaolan alone, and she ran off to Linjiang City with her gigolo to have an affair!"

"Linjiang City?"

"Xiao Lan told me that she was going to Linjiang City to visit a friend. When she left, she was carrying a lot of bags, all of which were costumes for performances."

Luo Rui was even more puzzled. Before he could ask, Qu Bo continued, "I immediately followed her to Linjiang City, wanting to catch her in the act, but I didn't get in. The highway to Linjiang City was blocked at the time. They said something serious had happened there, and out-of-town cars were temporarily not allowed in. After I came back, I was ready to kill this stinky woman..."

Luo Rui's whole body froze. He swallowed and interrupted Qu Bo: "Wait, you just said performance costumes, what kind of performance costumes?"

"Xiao Lan told me secretly that her mother was going to play the role of Tang Monk..."

When Qu Bo said this, he was suddenly stunned.

He had watched the news on TV and had heard about the robberies in Guangxing City and Linjiang City, but he was in a low mood during those days and had not paid much attention to it. Now that he suddenly spoke out, he knew that something was wrong.

Luo Rui's heart was already in turmoil. He walked over and lifted Qu Bo up with force.

"Where is Tao Yanhong now?"

Qu Bo looked flustered: "I... I don't know, she moved out and she didn't tell me the address!"

Luo Rui asked hurriedly: "How many houses do you have?"

"There are only these two sets. There are some in other cities. But she should not have left the city. I saw her come back to get her things yesterday."

"That pretty boy? What's his name? Where does he live?"

Qu Bo shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know..."

Luo Rui's brain was working rapidly.

Qu Bo blinked and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, the place she used to go to was in the Sea Street area, and she always went there to get her hair done..."

"Sea Street? Hairdressing?"

Luo Rui suddenly realized and immediately let him go. He ran out while calling Wei Qunshan.

After hailing a taxi, Luo Rui had just gotten into the car when Wei Qunshan's call came through.

"Master, let's go to Sea Street!"

Luo Rui put the phone to his ear and explained the situation in a few words. The person on the other end of the phone was shocked.

"You mean you know who X is?"

"Don't worry about that for now. The important thing is that Captain Cai is missing now. She must be in danger!"

A voice of a man wearing clothes came from the other end of the phone: "Wait, I'll call the Municipal Bureau right away, and we'll work together to arrest Tao Yanhong and find Xiaojing's whereabouts!"

Luo Rui hung up the phone and kept urging the driver to drive faster.

"Okay, if there's a red light I'll just run it!"

The driver heard what he said just now and knew that this man was no ordinary person, so he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Half an hour later, we arrived at Sea Street.

This street is a pedestrian street and cars cannot enter. After Luo Rui got off the car, he ran directly to the center of the street.

The dim light from the street lamp stretched his shadow very long...

All the shops on both sides were closed and there was no one on the street.

Qu Bo said that Tao Yanhong often came here to get her hair done.

Isn't the purpose of women dressing themselves up to please men?
Could this pretty boy be here? If we find him, can we find Tao Yanhong?

Luo Rui found a barber shop and stood in front of the door, but the door was closed. He looked inside, but there was no one inside.

He turned around and found a cafe in front of him called Red Shoes.

He withdrew his gaze and looked around blankly, not knowing what to do next.

An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness gripped his heart.

……

Cai Xiaojing woke up from a nightmare with a severe headache, as if she had been hit on the back of her head by a hammer.

When I opened my eyes, everything was pitch black.

She quickly closed her eyes again and felt like something was crawling all over her body.

Cai Xiaojing opened her eyes again and saw a faint ray of light. The light came from far away, allowing her to see the situation in front of her more clearly.

But before she could calm down, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her calves and she immediately shook her legs.

A mouse fell out of the box and onto the floor.

Only then did she see clearly that she was put into a wooden box and hung from the ceiling.

His hands and feet were tied up with ropes, and his mouth was sealed with tape.

Moreover, when she looked up, she saw that the ropes hanging from the ceiling were full of rats, crawling along the wire troughs.

As she shook, the wooden box swayed twice, and all the mice on the rope jumped on her.

"Woooo..."

Cai Xiaojing twisted her body in fear, but couldn't get rid of these damn things.

A dozen smelly rats were gnawing at her with their teeth!

A chill rose in her heart. Fortunately, it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, otherwise, she would be finished.

As soon as she thought of this, a mouse quickly jumped onto her neck!
Cai Xiaojing was startled and waved her bound hands to push the damn beast away.

"Haw..."

The mouse fell to the floor with a sound that made one's teeth ache.

The mouse stood up, ran to the wire trough in the corner, and started climbing up again...

Cai Xiaojing stared at the densely packed rats on the electrical trough and felt a wave of despair in her heart.

If I don't come up with a solution, I will definitely be bitten to death by these beasts!
What should I do?
