Chapter 58 The Uninvited Guest
"In the evening of this afternoon, a brutal murder occurred in a tunnel outside Toulouse. A dozen passengers of a bus, including the driver, were shot dead by unknown persons, and only one person was missing..."
The local Toulouse news station reported the case in the tunnel an hour after the case happened, and then French domestic TV stations also began to follow up the report. Yikanshu W?W?W?·?·C?OM? The massacre in the tunnel instantly spread throughout France. Such a brutal case has not happened in France for a long time.
At this moment, the tunnel where the crime occurred has been completely blocked, and the local police in Toulouse are conducting a careful investigation of the crime scene.
A police car rushed into the tunnel, and the police officers maintaining order were about to go forward to inquire. The car stopped, and a middle-aged man in plain clothes got out of the car and asked, "Who is in charge here?"
The police officer who originally wanted to come up to inquire subconsciously pointed to the location of the highest police officer on the scene.
"Who are you?" The policeman saw that they were about to leave, so he quickly blocked their way and asked aloud.
"Interpol!" The other party blurted out, bypassing the police officer.
Interpol must intervene in this matter, because many of the victims in the case are foreigners. The criminal laws of foreign countries have the right to protect the victim. Although the case took place in France, the judicial authorities of various countries notified Interpol to coordinate after learning the news.
The evidence found at the scene was reported to the supreme commander one after another. This gang of gangsters did it very carelessly, or it can be said that they were simply fearless. ???WW?W?··COM Fingerprints, bullet casings, shoe prints, etc. left at the scene were collected one by one.
"These bastards! It's like the army!" A police officer couldn't help but say.
After the people sent by the Interpol showed their identities, they went to check the dead body first, accompanied by a special person. More than a dozen corpses have now been placed in bone bags and neatly placed on the road. Forensic doctors opened each bag of bones for them. The terrified expression of the deceased and the blood-stained clothes truly reflected the brutality of the murderer.
The Interpol staff frowned tightly. They don't understand why mobs are after these poor scientists?
"Are there any witnesses who saw the murderer?" Although they had no hope, the Interpol staff still asked unwillingly.
"No, there were no other vehicles or people in the tunnel at the time of the incident!" A voice came from behind, and two Interpol staff members hurriedly got up and looked at the person behind them.
"However, I think you should take a look at this!" The person who came was of a high level, obviously the person in charge here. After he finished speaking, he took out an evidence bag and handed it to the other party. In the bag was half a cigarette that was not finished, and there were tooth marks on the filter.
"Cuban brand?" Interpol staff asked in a puzzled tone.
"Yeah! This is a good thing. It's about 100 francs on the black market! But most of them are sold by gangs!" said the police officer.
"You mean that there are French gangs involved behind this incident?" Interpol asked seriously.
"This kind of smoke is rare in France, because the purchase channel is mainly in the hands of the Italians! You know they almost monopolize the smuggling industry along the Mediterranean! But I don't think it's the Mafia,
Why did they kill these scientists? The head of the police said to himself that he actually told these Interpol on purpose, and he hoped that these people would know some of the inside story. But unfortunately, Interpol did not know about it either.
Just as the police at the scene were rummaging around looking for clues. Rubik was driving on the road near the Spanish border with the hostages.
The six of them drove a total of two cars, both of which they stole from the road, and the hostages were placed in the trunk of the car.
Rubik told everyone to turn off their phones and refrain from contacting their boss just yet. He wants to get everyone to Spain first. After arriving in Spain, after escaping the police blockade. Rubik will decide the fate of the hostages according to the credit status of his Swiss account.
However, Rubik clearly underestimated the level of congestion on the French-Spanish border, and there was a football match on that day. So they had to abandon their plan to cross the border and hid in the woods beside a country road. It seemed that they should spend the night here, and Rubik and a partner drove to a nearby town. He bought some food and water, tents and sleeping bags, and pretended to be tourists.
Although Rubik couldn't understand French, he saw images of police lights flashing in the tunnel on the store's TV. He was a little thankful that he didn't stubbornly insist on going to the border. If they had reached the border, the police would have already set up checkpoints there.
Rubik found a tavern for a drink. Mainly to charge her satellite phone. The two left for almost two hours before returning to the woods.
"How is it?" Before Rubik got out of the car, his accomplices ran over to ask for news.
"We can't go to Spain anymore. Let's stay here for one night and figure out a way tomorrow!" Rubik got out of the car and handed over the purchased food to everyone.
It's almost autumn now, everyone gathered around the bonfire, drinking beer, and roasting sausages on the fire with sticks. It seems to be camping. Rubik opened the trunk, freed the hostage to move around, then gagged him and tied him to a tree.
Everyone drank some wine, and the temperament gradually became more serious. The initial discussion started with the issue of how to spend the money once it was received. Some people said that they would take the money and go back to their hometown to find a woman. Some people said that they would buy themselves a truck for transportation, and others said that they like to drink and want to open a tavern.
Rubik sat on the sidelines silently looking at the map. He is not so optimistic. Rubik was a policeman in the past, and he was very clear about some of the police's action steps. It was not safe to hide in the woods. Moreover, in such a big case, there are so many traces left at the scene, maybe the police will find something.
"Stay still, buddy!"
Just when Rubik was concentrating on looking at the map and thinking about his thoughts, a cold muzzle hit his head. Rubik's three souls lost six souls.
"Don't move, they are all passive!"
The guys beside the bonfire were also quickly brought under control. They were all frightened by the unexpected visitor, and before they had time to resist, all of them were held in the back of their heads by the muzzle of guns.
