Chapter 133: Suspicious Figure Discovered, With the Hostage! (5)

The reason why the sniper claimed that someone had fallen to the ground was only because he could see their exposed legs. Therefore, the police did not dare to act rashly. Firstly, it was already confirmed that they had a hostage in their hands. Secondly, they did not know the other party’s location.

However, along the way, they did not seem to have encountered any trouble. There were not even any complicated hidden sentries as they had imagined. No matter how they looked at it, it was as if the door was wide open and waiting for them to arrive.

Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly quickly arrived beside Zhou Nanhai and lowered her voice. “Report, the police officer found a corpse in the forest.”

This news made Zhou Nanhai frown. The appearance of this corpse might mean that the situation had changed drastically. Therefore, Captain Wang led the SWAT team and continued to set up control here to ensure the safety of the hostages.

Zhou Nanhai, on the other hand, brought Zhou Xiaoxiao and the other police officers and quickly moved quietly in another direction, rushing to the place where the corpse was found.

The corpse in the forest was naturally Bobcat that had been spying here. Although Bobcat was buried by Gang Zi and Skinny Monkey, the police officer still easily discovered something through the loose soil.

Zhou Nanhai held the flashlight and looked around. Then, he quickly locked onto the tall tree beside Bobcat. “It seems that this should be a hidden sentry set up by a criminal group. However, for some reason, this hidden sentry has been taken down.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao gently squatted down and pulled Bobcat’s chin. Then, she saw a very subtle wound on his neck. “Strange, how did this person die? The wound on his neck is so subtle. It doesn’t seem to be fatal, right?”

Zhou Nanhai took a light breath. “Compared to how he died, I’m more concerned about why he died. If this hidden sentry was here, it would be very difficult for us to advance. But now, he’s dead! This feeling is as if someone was one step ahead and resolved all our troubles.”

“You mean someone beat us to it?”

Facing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s question, Zhou Nanhai shook his head seriously. “No, it’s just an unfounded guess. Look after this corpse. Our top priority now is to save the hostages. We’ll get a forensic doctor to investigate the scene later.”

However, not long after Bobcat’s corpse was discovered, Skinny Monkey’s corpse was also quickly discovered. Through the survey of the surrounding environment, the police quickly determined that Skinny Monkey was peeing when he died.

Skinny Monkey probably did not expect that as soon as he buried Bobcat, it would be his turn. What was even sadder was that there was no one to bury him. To the police’s surprise, Skinny Monkey also had a wound on his neck that was similar to that of Bobcat.

However, this wound was very subtle. Logically speaking, it was not life-threatening.

The police could not come up with an answer for the specific cause of death for the time being. They still needed the intervention of a forensic doctor before they could investigate in detail. However, the corpses that were discovered one after another made Zhou Nanhai realize that something was wrong.

When he returned to Captain Wang’s side, Captain Wang’s words completely made him suspicious. “From just now until now, there are no signs of anyone moving in the stone village.”

Zhou Nanhai was considered an experienced police officer who had dealt with many kidnapping cases. His rich experience made him immediately realize that this matter was different from all the cases he had come into contact with before.

They could only determine the location of the hostages, but they could not confirm the situation here. Logically speaking, the police needed to investigate carefully. But now, Zhou Nanhai felt that there might no longer be a need.

The two corpses found in the forest seemed to coincide with the time before the police arrived. It was very likely that the police were already at Maple Ridge when these two people died.

Zhou Nanhai did not know who was behind this for the time being. However, through these two corpses, Zhou Nanhai could already determine that an intense battle might have already happened here.

“Report, we found a special situation!”

Just as Zhou Nanhai was deep in thought, another message came urgently. It was a new situation discovered by the sniper as he advanced and changed positions.

“Speak!”

“Suspicious figure discovered and with the hostage!” The sniper hurriedly reported, but this news shocked Zhou Nanhai.

Had they finally found a living person?
