Chapter 248

Gu Changzheng coughed slightly awkwardly. He knew that Zhang Xiaodong was afraid that if he, this "living shield", went out, the police would take measures against him. He thought to himself, if it weren't for the safety of Lin Xiaoxue and another hostage, he would have taken him down alone long ago!

Now he must race against time. He coughed and said slowly: "This girl is in urgent need of stopping the bleeding. If she can't wait for Fang Yuan to come, you will never hear Fang Yuan's voice again!"

Zhang Xiaodong's strange eyes stared at him, grinned and smiled: "Fine! The threat is effective, I can stop the bleeding for her, you let me talk to him now!" Saying that, he picked up the hemostatic gauze beside him with his free hand and covered Lin Xiaoxue's injured eye, which had been stabbed by him.

Since seeing Zhang Xiaodong, Gu Changzheng had been thinking about his relationship with Fang Yuan. How could two such murderous demons both seem to be trying their best to protect each other, and then both trying hard to "seek death"?

"Alright! I want to talk to him now, hurry up and arrange it! Otherwise, there will be two more lives soon!" Zhang Xiaodong shouted sternly.

To avoid stimulating him, Gu Changzheng arranged for Luo Fei to contact the detention center through the earpiece. After a while, his mobile phone rang. Gu Changzheng immediately connected and turned on the speakerphone. After saying "Hello", a young man's voice came from the phone: "Hello!"

Hearing that voice, Zhang Xiaodong's hand pressing on Lin Xiaoxue's injured eye through the gauze couldn't help but loosen. He looked extremely excited, his lips trembled, and it took a long time for him to make a sound: "Brother Yuan!"

There was silence on the other side for a while, and then suddenly he laughed "Heh heh heh": "Xiaodong! You still didn't listen to me in the end. Why must you take this step?"

The bright red scars on Zhang Xiaodong's face moved. It turned out that it was caused by him clenching his teeth and pulling the muscles. Hearing Fang Yuan's words, he also laughed "Jie jie": "Everything was done by me, why do you bother to tell this big lie for a cripple! I have already confessed everything, don't take the blame for me anymore! Brother Yuan, thank you! To have a brother like you in this life, I have no regrets even if I die!"

After a silence on the other side, Fang Yuan's voice sounded again: "You! Let Lin Xiaoxue go! She is just a somewhat stupid person, but she is not bad. Don't hurt her. That old witch and those accomplices have all been sentenced to death by me. Let the innocent ones go! Take advantage of the fact that you don't have any lives on your hands now, stop!"

Gu Changzheng on the side listened quietly to the conversation between the two. In his eyes, all the cover-ups these two did for each other had become meaningless. When the hostage was found, it would be the time for Zhang Xiaodong to face justice. Of course, for the desire for the truth, he still hoped to find clues from the conversation between the two.

"No!" Zhang Xiaodong suddenly roared: "Anyone who knows about that matter must die! I must die too! But you cannot die! You must live well! Just like you told me when we were young, you must try hard to live, because living means hope. But since that fire, my life has had no hope, only you. You are my only motivation to live. Now, all obstacles are gone, so, you must live!"

At the same time, in a slaughterhouse in the suburbs of Zizhen, a drunkard with blurry eyes walked with unsteady steps and staggered to push open a door that he thought should be an outhouse. After stumbling to untie the restraints and release his nature, he was about to leave when he suddenly felt his nasal cavity filled with a fragrance. He immediately felt a shock in his spirit. Looking carefully again, he saw that the place he was in was not a toilet, and the fragrance seemed to come from not far away.

He stumbled in to take a look, and the scene in front of him made him break out in a cold sweat, and he instantly sobered up a lot! In the center of an operating room in front of him, a girl in a red dress was firmly tied to a workbench usually used for decomposing meat! He hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call the police...

Five minutes later, Gao Ye and others, who were searching in a furniture processing factory two kilometers away from the slaughterhouse, rushed in!

At this time, the incense hanging above the chainsaw switch of the workbench had only five centimeters left before it burned out!

Gao Ye saw that the girl in red was Yu Jiajia from the song and dance troupe, but she didn't know what medicine she had taken, and at this time she was completely unconscious!

———

When Gu Changzheng received the news that Gao Ye had found the hostage, Zhang Xiaodong was demanding Fang Yuan to drive away from Zizhen. Gu Changzheng saw that his mental state seemed to be getting worse and worse, and he also looked manic. At this time, regarding his request, Fang Yuan suddenly said: "Xiaodong! Don't be stupid! You didn't kill anyone, now you'll just be in jail for a few years, you can still come out! Listen to me, surrender to the police now, my charges have been confirmed! Don't make any more meaningless sacrifices!"

Zhang Xiaodong had indeed reached the critical point where he could not control himself, just as Gu Changzheng judged! What came out of his throat could no longer be called words, like the roar of a beast before dying. On the phone, Fang Yuan said loudly: "Xiaodong! I have rectal cancer! It's already in the late stage! I can't be saved! So, you must live for us!"

This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly pulling Zhang Xiaodong back from the edge of madness. However, the eyes that had been scattered because of falling into madness were now shockingly bright! He saw the corners of his mouth lift slightly, as if wanting to outline the most beautiful smile. The veins on the back of his right hand, which had been clenching the scalpel, jumped suddenly!

Gu Changzheng, who had been paying attention to his every move, suddenly shouted "Bad!" in his heart.

He didn't have time to notify anyone, not even a tenth of a second to think more! Pulling the gun, aiming, and shooting were also not through the brain, but completely muscle memory formed by usual training!

"Bang!" A spark burst out, and the bullet rushed out of the chamber spinning at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Before the sparks had extinguished, a red dot the size of a grain of rice had appeared in the middle of Zhang Xiaodong's forehead. In an instant, the red dot spread rapidly like paint dripping on a lake...

The criminal police and SWAT team members who heard the gunshot outside rushed in with a "clatter". From the mobile phone on the ground came Fang Yuan's terrified, broken shouting!

A crisp "Ding dang" sound accompanied the thin scalpel falling onto the cold wave-patterned stone floor.

Then he saw the big hand that had been placed on Lin Xiaoxue's neck hang down. With a "Thump" sound, Zhang Xiaodong's body fell backward...

Medical staff in white coats also rushed in with a stretcher. The pale Lin Xiaoxue was immediately lifted onto the stretcher, but it was unknown whether that eye could be saved.

Another doctor checked Zhang Xiaodong's pupils and pulse and shook his head. Gu Changzheng's shot was clean and neat, the bullet entered from the forehead and exited from the back of the head. The probability of living was zero!

From the phone on the ground came a burst of chaos. Only heard someone shouting loudly: "Pry open his mouth..."
