Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 299 The progress of the police investigation Part 3

“Yes, only Xu Heng can point out the police scum who took the dirty money. This is the fastest and most effective way to solve the case,” Dong Xiaoye stared at me with her bright eyes, and said seriously, “Little Chu, do you understand your situation now? The direction of the police investigation was pointed out by you. Although we know that you are only being used by Xu Heng as his messenger, some people who feel dangerous will only think that they are being pushed to a dead end step by step because of you….”

I gradually figured out Xu Heng’s true motives for not killing me, but I still pretended to be confused, “because of me? How does it have anything to do with me?”

“I know it has nothing to do with you, but do other people know?” Dong Xiaoye said lightly, “there are so many unfair things in the world. You have obviously saved everyone’s lives, but are people grateful to you? No. Instead, they even doubted you and wanted to question you. Why did Xu Heng treat you differently? Why could you get the remote control from Xu Heng but failed to catch him? Are you his accomplice as well? Maybe you getting shot was just a part of his elaborate plan, and it was to help him to escape from the police’s encirclement. There were so many questions. Even if the police have already given the explanations, how many people would believe it? If they really believed it, it would not be easy for Long Zili and Qiao Mei to cause trouble for us…”

I knew from the very beginning that this kind of suspicion would arise. I thought that I was prepared in my heart. After all, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I be worried? But when I heard what Dong Xiaoye said at this moment, I had a feeling that it was not worth risking my life to save those people.

Since Dong Xiaoye said this, it meant that besides the Long family, there were others who had shown this kind of doubts. I smiled bitterly and said, “are you worried that someone will do something to me?”

“Who is worried about you?” Dong Xiaoye blushed, rolled her eyes at me, and said, “this is just a simple and logical assumption. Actually, saying that someone wants to retaliate against you is not correct. They are just targeting you, and the possibility that they will harm you is very high. Anyone who is your friend would be concerned, right? Besides, there is another thing that is even scarier… Little Chu, do you know what happened to the rest of the gunmen in the end?”

I didn’t know why Dong Xiaoye suddenly changed the subject, but I found that the question she asked was very amusing, so I chuckled and said, “if I knew, would I still ask you what happened after we left?”

Dong Xiaoye said word by word. “Two were killed and three were captured alive. The gunmen only fired one shot, but wounded a female hostage…”

They actually caught three alive? Although it was a bit different from what Dong Xiaoye said last time, which was that three of the gunmen were killed and two were captured alive, it still surprised me. After all, all the gunmen had a gun. “only one person was injured, it is not that bad…” I was actually quite impressed by the police’s work.

“Yes. The hostage who was shot was only slightly injured, and she didn’t file any complaint against the police. This result even exceeded our expectations at the time, but…” Dong Xiaoye suddenly changed her tone and sternly said, “do you know why it went so smoothly? That’s because… Xu Heng lied to you. ”

“He lied to me?” I was confused. “what do you mean he lied to me?”

“The number of live ammunition in those gunmen’s magazines that he told you was wrong.” Dong Xiaoye said with a complicated expression, “there was only one live bullet. The rest of the bullets were all fake bullets.”

“Only one live bullet? !” This time I was really surprised. I was almost certain that, apart from the motive of committing the crime, nothing else Xu Heng said was true, but the result was completely the opposite of what I thought was!

“Do you understand it now?” Dong Xiaoye also had lingering fears. “Xu Heng’s purpose was obvious. The reason why he deceived you was not to create a shootout between the police and the gunmen so that it would create more casualties and have a bigger influence. He simply… ”

“He wants the rest of the gunmen to be killed by the police?!” This answer seemed to be obvious.

“Mhm,” Dong Xiaoye nodded slightly, her tone became even more serious, “he is very cunning. He concealed his true purpose and incited other gunmen to commit such a horrible crime for him. Then, he betrayed his accomplices and used them to attract the attention of the police so he could escape. He also used you to reveal his motives to the police in order to dig out the crimes Long Xiaotian had committed. At the same time, he revealed to you the true identity and evidence of his accomplices… With all that evidence, even if we saw through his trick, we would not be able to do anything. After the leader ran away, there is no way the police would let the rest of the gunmen run away as well. Especially after knowing their history. Killing them was the only way to save the hostages… Do you know that three of the five gunmen had already committed murder in the past?…”

From the indifferent attitude Green Snake, Man Zi, and the other gunmen showed when Long Xiaotian was killed, it was not hard to tell that they must have experienced similar things before, so I was not surprised. In fact, I even suspected that Xu Heng had deliberately chosen those people as his accomplices.

“Xu Heng had already calculated how the police would react, so he tampered with his accomplices’ guns. He said that there were only two live rounds in the guns because he was worried that the police would give in to his accomplices for fear of causing an intense shootout. He didn’t say there was only one live round in each gun because he didn’t want the police to catch them alive. But what he didn’t expect was that when Captain Tao took the armed police officers into the manor while disguising as family members of the hostages, a hostage, who should be redeemed, did not see his family, and suddenly had a nervous breakdown. He was so terrified that he tried to run away. At that time, Tang Sihai, nicknamed Green Snake, fired his gun. When he noticed that there were no bullets coming out of his gun, he surrendered himself before Captain Tao and his men could pull the trigger. The tallest and the oldest gunman, Zhang Ba, who only fired one shot, and Man Zi, who tried to kill hostages both were killed on the spot…”

Dong Xiaoye paused for a second, looking at me with worried eyes, and then carried on, “he has considered every detail of his plan, so Little Chu, do you really think that he just wants to use you as a messenger? Do you think he treats you differently because of your attitude towards Ku’er and her grandma? A cold-blood killer who can take away a man’s life without blinking and can betray his accomplices with a smile, do you believe he is really sympathetic?”

I could already tell what Dong Xiaoye was worried about. I closed my eyes and was silent for a moment. After I suppressed the tremor in my heart, I smiled stiffly, “Sister Xiaoye, are you trying to tell me that he wants to use me to attract the attention of the police?”

Dong Xiaoye was dazed for a moment and then smiled bitterly, “you are really smart. After Captain Lin told me these things, I thought about this for a long time before I finally figured it out, but you actually figured it out immediately…”

‘So my guess is correct!’

“Seriously? If he is really this smart, why did he use this kind of method to take revenge?” Although I said this, I knew that no matter how smart one person was, taking revenge against a big family would never be easy.

“Anyway, my point is that since Xu Heng can design such a sophisticated plan and escape smoothly, we have no reason to underestimate him. Even if we are thinking too much, we still have to consider all kinds of possibilities. Little Chu, your current situation is very bad. Think about it. If the task force now interrogates the people who participated in the case of Xu Heng’s younger sister, how would they react?”

I didn’t respond to Dong Xiaoye this time, because I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t even dare to think about what would happen, because those possibilities terrified me.
