The barrel of a gun stared down at as I beca briefly distracted. My mind blanked as I went all out, grabbing Zhu Shuyuns arm and twisting it toward him. Amidst the chaos, I heard the cracking of bones and flickers of fear, anguish, confusion, and realization flash before Zhu Shuyuns eyes.
Bang!
I beca dumbfounded and noticed a small bloody hole in Zhu Shuyuns chest when I looked down the next second. The latter had probably pulled the trigger before he realized the gun was aiming at himself. I kicked the gun away from Zhu Shuyuns strengthless hand before promptly rolling my tank top to press on the gunshot wound.
Hes dead! Hes dead! yelled soone from the pit. Simultaneously, as if the birds had realized this fact as well, they quickly took to the air before vanishing from our sights.
Tan Jiao stood in a daze behind before she plopped to the ground after so ti. Are you alright? she asked.
Im fine.
Cries of help echoed from the pit as the Zhu family pleaded, Please help us! Please co quick!
With cries from the Zhu family and the accompanying faint sounds of police sirens filling the air, I looked at the pale and motionless Zhu Shuyun. His life force seed to be fading away before my eyes. Stay with ! Tell , where did the birds co from? Why do they listen to you?
Zhu Shuyun listlessly opened his half-closed eyes and said in a weak voice, B-birds...soone gave .
Who gave them to you?
C-cant tell you.
Was it you that gave Tan Jiao the letter?
D-dont know. What letter? T-Tan Jiao who...? Zhu Shuyuns voice faded as his eyes rolled back. He seed to have passed out, and his breathing had beco weak. I turned to Tan Jiao, fixing my gaze on her jet black eyes that reflected the dancing flas. I figured she must have heard my exchange with Zhu Shuyun.
Shortly after, I heard the sounds of footsteps as the police arrived.
I was held in the police station for one night and a day. Then finally released when the skies had darkened down once more. I knew the Zhu family was also questioned. As such, I was not worried about the clarity of the issue or the police giving a hard ti.
It seed that this serial abduction case would finally be solved.
I asked one of the policen as I exited, Where is the lady that ca in with ?
Oh, shell co out soon.
Standing outside the station, I recalled the fact that Tan Jiaos car would be temporarily held by the police for investigation.
I called Xiaohua to drive my motorbike over and bring two helts.
I figured it would be an interesting experience for author Tan to ride on a motorcycle. After all, she had always driven a car, and she did not seem too picky about things.
Xiaohua ca with my bike in no ti. After I persuaded him to go away, I parked the bike on the road outside the station and waited for my lady while enjoying a cigarette.
I got wind of Zhu Shuyun dying not long after arriving at the hospital. As such,the case seemingly ca to an end. Everything along with the mysteries Tan Jiao and I had been pursuing seed to have co to an abrupt stop as well. Yet, sothing felt amiss about the fact that Zhu Shuyun alone managed to execute such a complicated plan with perfection. And, those birds that flew away right after Zhu Shuyun was shot. Will they reappear?
Two policen that passed by interrupted my thoughts as one of them said, When Shen Shiyan was reporting to the captain, he said he used to date that lady. He said shes his ex!
