Hunting the Killer
Xia Tian and Qiao Xiaoqiao walked hand in hand slowly in Jianghai University. They did not go to Xinxin Flower Shop because they were not there to look for Sun Xinxin.
Xia Tian believed that the killer from the Shadow Group was still looking for an opportunity to assassinate Qiao Xiaoqiao. If Qiao Xiaoqiao stayed in the Qiao Building all the time, this opportunity would not come so easily. Therefore, he simply brought Qiao Xiaoqiao out to provide the killer with an opportunity.
There were too many people on the street, which was not suitable for assassination, so he came to Jianghai University. The school was definitely deserted during the holidays, and even if someone fired a gun, it would not alarm many people.
All in all, Xia Tian has provided all convenient conditions for the killer and is just waiting for the killer to come.
"Honey, why hasn't the killer shown up yet?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked softly. She naturally understood Xia Tian's true intention, and out of trust in Xia Tian, she was willing to be the bait.
"Don't worry, he will definitely show up." Xia Tian was full of confidence. After determining the target, every killer would investigate the target's detailed information, and the Shadow Group had a group of people who specialized in gathering intelligence. They must have collected information about Qiao Xiaoqiao, but Xia Tian believed that no matter how detailed the information these people had, they could not have information about him. Therefore, in the eyes of the killers, he was most likely an ordinary person.
Qiao Xiaoqiao was hanging out in the school with an ordinary person without any bodyguards around him. Even though this situation was unreasonable, as a killer, he would definitely not miss this opportunity. Therefore, he was sure that the killer would appear, but he just didn't know when.
After walking around for a while, the two came to the playground. Relatively speaking, the playground was quite lively. Some people were playing football and there was a guy running. It was not known whether he was a professional athlete since he was running in such hot weather.
The two of them were walking slowly on the runway, but they didn't attract much attention. Although Qiao Xiaoqiao was a celebrity, not everyone knew her. Moreover, in the past, Qiao Xiaoqiao was always followed by two eye-catching beautiful bodyguards. But now, Qiao Xiaoqiao was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, the same in summer. The two of them looked like the most ordinary student couple. Naturally, no one thought that this beauty was the famous Qiao Xiaoqiao.
Xia Tian thought this was a good place. There were quite a few people here, so it would be easy for a killer to sneak in. However, the whole place was very open, so it would not affect shooting. Therefore, he simply took Qiao Xiaoqiao and walked slowly around the track, going around in circles again and again.
"Honey, let's take a break." Qiao Xiaoqiao was not in good health and was not the sporty type of girl. After strolling for so long, she naturally felt a little tired, so she pulled Xia Tian to sit down in the stands.
While they were strolling around, another group of people came in to play football. There were ten of them, divided into two groups, wearing different jerseys. It was the legendary collision of Mars and the Earth, Real Madrid versus Barcelona.
It's a pity that this group of people are far from the authentic Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their footwork is disorganized and every move they make is a big kick, sending the ball into the sky.
"Your footwork is so terrible!" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but look down on these people.
It is said that there will be retribution for cursing someone behind their back, so if you want to curse someone, you should do it to their face. Just as Qiao Xiaoqiao despised the fake Real Madrid or Barcelona player, a Real Madrid player kicked the ball straight towards Qiao Xiaoqiao.
Xia Tian did not catch the ball, because he knew that the ball could not hit Qiao Xiaoqiao at all. Instead, Qiao Xiaoqiao was startled and threw himself on Xia Tian.
The kick was so powerful that the football flew over Qiao Xiaoqiao's head, then suddenly fell, landed behind Qiao Xiaoqiao and rolled down.
As soon as Qiao Xiaoqiao stretched out his hand, he grabbed the ball.
"Excuse me, beauty!" A tall and strong guy ran over. He was the guy who kicked the ball away just now. "Please throw the ball to me. Thanks!"
Qiao Xiaoqiao held the football with both hands and threw it down with force. Unfortunately, her strength was too weak and she didn't throw it very far. The guy stepped back and reached out to catch the ball.
At the moment he caught the ball, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his face suddenly became extremely cold, and a pistol suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Bang!" A gunshot suddenly rang out.
"Ah..." Qiao Xiaoqiao cried softly. Although she was actually waiting for the killer to appear, she still didn't expect that the killer would be this guy playing football. This guy looked less than 20 years old and looked like an ordinary sunny boy. He could not be associated with the cold-blooded killer at all.
The moment the gun went off, a hint of complacency appeared on the killer's cold face, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes, because he knew that no one could dodge a shot at such a close distance. A few hours ago, someone blocked the bullet for her, but now, no one can save her!
But the next second, the smugness on his face disappeared, replaced by astonishment. He did not hear the target's shrill screams, nor did he see the bright blood spurting out of her chest. He didn't even see anything, because the target disappeared from his sight.
A dangerous aura suddenly came from behind him. The alertness he had developed over the years made him subconsciously want to dodge, but before his body could react, he felt a sharp pain from the back of his head, and then his eyes went black and he passed out.
The people who were playing on the playground were stunned by the gunshot. It was not until the killer fell to the ground and they saw the pistol in his hand that they realized it was not a dream but a real shooting.
"Someone's being murdered! Run away!" someone shouted, and then the people on the playground dispersed. They all suddenly became sprinters and disappeared from Xia Tian's sight in the blink of an eye.
Xia Tian put away the killer's gun and poked him a few times with two fingers. He wanted to make sure that this guy would not wake up for a while.
"Wife, do you know where is a suitable place to force a confession?" Xia Tian asked casually.
"Let me call my eldest brother. I guess he has someone waiting nearby. I can just ask him to arrange a place for us." Qiao Xiaoqiao said as she took out her cell phone and dialed Qiao Donghai's number.
"Brother asked us to wait for three minutes." After a moment, Qiao Xiaoqiao hung up the phone and said to Xia Tian. Apparently, her judgment was correct. Although Qiao Donghai did not send anyone to follow them closely, he still sent someone to stand by nearby.
"Well, they should be faster than the police." Xia Tian was quite satisfied with the speed. He didn't want the killer to be caught by the police. He wanted to interrogate this guy personally. When he arrived at the police station, he was afraid that the policewoman would not let him intervene.
However, Xia Tian soon discovered that he had miscalculated. Only a minute later, a policeman came running towards them.
"What happened?" The policeman came up to the two and asked nervously, "I'm the on-duty policeman at the Jianghai University Police Office. I heard someone fired a gun here. Is that true?"
"I don't know." Qiao Xiaoqiao looked innocent. "Brother police, my boyfriend and I just came here for a walk. We didn't see anything. We only saw this person unconscious here. I don't know what happened!"
"Really?" The policeman looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao, then at Xia Tian, with a look of doubt on his face, "Did you shoot and injure this man?"
"Brother policeman, of course not, we are students here." Qiao Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained that she was just delaying time. Once the brother sent someone over, someone from the police side would naturally take care of it.
"Student? I don't think so!" The policeman snorted coldly and suddenly reached for his waist, ready to draw his gun.
"Honey, he is not a policeman!" Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly shouted.
A hint of coldness flashed in the policeman's eyes, and he drew his gun and shot.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
"Ugh..." A scream came from the policeman's mouth, and Xia Tian had a gun in his hand. It was the trophy he had seized from the previous policeman, and his shot hit the policeman's right hand holding the gun.
The policeman covered his bloody right hand but did not run away. Instead, he pulled out a sharp knife with his left hand and rushed towards Xia Tian.
"Bang bang!" Two more shots were fired. The killer pretending to be a policeman was shot in both legs. His legs suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground.
Xia Tian raised his hand and threw the gun out, hitting the fake policeman in the head. With a groan, the killer fell unconscious on the ground like the first killer.
"You're playing with guns with me? Don't you know that my Third Master is a gun god?" Xia Tian looked at the guy on the ground with a bit of disdain. He had a silver needle in his hand and pricked him a few times to stop his bleeding temporarily. He still wanted to interrogate this guy, and couldn't let him bleed to death like this.
"Honey, so you also know that he is not a policeman?" Qiao Xiaoqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can sense the murderous aura coming from him." Xia Tian said lazily, "If all the members of the Shadow Group are like this, then there's nothing to worry about."
After a pause, Xia Tian couldn't help but ask, "Wife, how do you know he's not a policeman?"
"Oh, I know that the police officers on duty at Jianghai University Police Station are not equipped with guns." Qiao Xiaoqiao replied.
Xia Tian was stunned. This reason was far from what he had imagined. He had no idea what the police in the Jianghai University Police Station were like, and naturally he didn't know whether they were equipped with guns or not.
"Miss Qiao!" A voice came from not far away, and seven or eight big men came running over. They were obviously the bodyguards sent by Qiao Donghai.
They arrived faster than expected, and in just over two minutes, they appeared in front of Qiao Xiaoqiao.
"Take them away!" Qiao Xiaoqiao waved her hand. "My husband wants to interrogate them personally. You guys arrange a place for them."
"Yes, Miss Qiao." One person answered and waved his hand. Four people lifted the two killers and ran away. A van and a car were waiting on the road. Less than a minute later, the car had driven out of Jianghai University. A few minutes later, when the police arrived, they found the playground was empty.
