Chapter 196: Target Exposed, Emergency Evacuation
Chapter 196: Target Exposed, Emergency Evacuation
There was a strange smell in the freezer.
The floor was covered with brown, sticky stuff that felt sticky when you walked on it.
A pungent stench came from the corner, causing Qin Feng and the other two to cover their mouths and noses.
Gao Tianxiang, who came in last, turned on the switch on the wall.
The fluorescent lights came on, and the originally dark cold storage suddenly became bright.
The scene before them made the three of them tremble all over, and their expressions became extremely shocked.
There were several tragically dead bodies lying all over the wall.
Blood had formed a large pool under the corpses and flowed all the way to the door.
Judging from the work clothes they were wearing, they should be the restaurant's service staff.
What is surprising is that these people were all tied up and blindfolded.
Gao Tianxiang checked the bullet holes on the wall, compared the location where the victim was shot, and spoke in a serious tone.
"All of these employees were killed execution-style with their hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel on the ground, and guns pointed at the back of their heads."
"What kind of person is so cruel?" Ge Zhiyong's face was extremely ugly.
But at this moment, Qin Feng's focus was not on this.
"There were only the bodies of the restaurant staff at the scene, and no trapped tourists. It seems that they were either evacuated or captured by those guys."
"Right now, the most urgent task is to quickly find the contact person. Only by finding him can we obtain useful clues."
Gao Tianxiang glanced at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but worry about the contact person's situation.
After exiting the ice storage, the three began searching the restaurant.
But the result was nothing, no useful information at all.
"Is there any cellar or basement here?"
Ge Zhiyong glanced around and suddenly put forward a hypothesis.
But Gao Tianxiang quickly denied it: "It's unlikely. If such a place really existed, the store employees wouldn't have died tragically."
"There are only two possibilities now. Either the contact person knew about the danger in advance and took everyone away."
"Or..."
Before he could finish his words, the walkie-talkie on Ge Zhiyong's waist suddenly vibrated.
He made a gesture to keep quiet and then picked up the walkie-talkie.
"what happened?"
"found it!"
Zhu Huihui's voice, slightly surprised, came from the other end.
"What did you find?" Ge Zhiyong asked with a frown.
"Based on the contact's cell phone number and satellite positioning, I locked onto his location. He's in this restaurant!"
After hearing what Zhu Huihui said, the three of them looked at each other in surprise.
They just searched the entire restaurant but found no trace of the contact person.
"Could it be a mistake?"
"Absolutely not."
Zhu Huihui said confidently, "This technology is very mature and has never failed. However, it's also possible that the contact person left their phone somewhere in the hotel."
Gao Tianxiang didn't hesitate at all and immediately took out his cell phone to start dialing again.
The first call was made, but they didn't hear anything.
So the three of them went to the lobby and dialed the number again.
This time, a faint vibration was indeed heard.
"It should be in the hall!"
With a target, it is much easier to find it.
The three of them controlled their breathing and even walked on tiptoe.
The sound of the cell phone vibrating became more and more obvious, and soon they found the source of the sound.
There was an old-fashioned freezer in the corner, and the sound of the compressor working was like that of an old man suffering from tuberculosis.
From time to time, he would shiver and make an irritating cough.
And that faint vibration sound came from this freezer.
When he got closer, Qin Feng saw three or four pairs of footprints on the freezer.
The three of them looked at each other, and a bone-chilling chill spread through their hearts.
Gao Tianxiang reached out twice to try to open the freezer, but his hands were shaking so violently that he pulled back.
Qin Feng could see that he was resisting, and he also guessed that this contact person was probably acquainted with Gao Tianxiang.
So he took a deep breath and took the initiative to speak.
"I'll do it..."
After saying that, he placed his hand on the freezer door and lifted it slightly.
A white cold air overflowed from the gap, and a desperate face in the freezer suddenly came into view.
When Gao Tianxiang saw this face, he felt as if he had been hit hard and almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Ge Zhiyong was quick to catch him and prevent him from falling to the ground.
"I, I'm fine, no need, hold me..."
Gao Tianxiang struggled to stand up, but his eyes were already red.
Scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
Another old friend who once aspired to uphold justice and eradicate darkness has passed away.
Qin Feng's face was uglier than ever at this moment, with anger swirling in his eyes.
The contact person was forced into the freezer after suffering inhuman torture.
From his twisted movements and terrified expression, one can imagine how desperate he must have been at that time.
Qin Feng knew that the criminals in Jinshanjiao were very cruel, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel.
He took a deep breath and whispered an apology to the corpse.
Then he reached into his pocket and fumbled around.
Soon, he took out the cell phone from it.
The performance of this phone is pretty good, and it does not affect its use even in such a low temperature environment.
Qin Feng searched carefully in his mobile phone, trying to find some useful clues.
But at this moment, a phone call suddenly came in.
The sudden shock made the three of them feel nervous.
Qin Feng looked at Ge Zhiyong, then at Gao Tianxiang, and gave them a questioning look.
To answer or not to answer?
"catch!"
Both gave the same answer.
Qin Feng took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
The next second, a duck-like laugh came from the other end.
"You should have seen the gifts I gave you, right?"
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Qin Feng asked with a cold face.
The man on the other end sneered and said, "I should be the one asking you this. You outsiders, barging into my territory without even saying hello to me, the owner, and yet you still ask me what I want?"
Hearing these words, the expressions of the three people changed at the same time.
From the beginning, they were exposed.
What exactly is the problem?
Qin Feng's eyes were cold, and he deliberately said in a threatening tone: "Do you know who you are provoking?"
The man opposite smiled nonchalantly, "Of course I know. They're just a bunch of stinky cops, right? Look, there's one frozen in the freezer. Do you think I'd hang you?"
Qin Feng didn't want to waste time talking to him: "Where did you take our people?"
"Do you think I will tell you?"
"Even if you don't tell us, we will find you. Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Really? But I feel like you might not have a chance..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng quickly hung up the phone and rushed out with the two of them.
"Hurry, we have to get out of here!"
"What happened?"
The person who was waiting outside saw Qin Feng and the others rushing out in a hurry and asked curiously.
Gao Tianxiang shouted anxiously: "We have been exposed, we must evacuate quickly!"
At the same time, businesses on both sides of the street pulled down their shutters one by one.
The street, which was originally quite bustling, was deserted in an instant.
Qin Feng's heart sank and he turned his head to look at both ends of the street.
Sure enough, a large number of vehicles and armed men appeared on both sides, surrounding them with a fierce look...
