Free Web NovelChapter 1082: Chapter 304: The Perfect Crime Scene
Four people lying on the ground, two are obviously shot or stabbed, while Shui Zha seems unharmed, and the boss appears to have fainted. Upon hearing this, Monkey suspects that after Shui Zha ambushed the three, even if he managed to take them down, he got injured. Now he’s grabbed a gun intending to kill the not-yet-dead boss! It’s only because he heard Monkey’s footsteps upstairs that he’s stalling for time.
Monkey doesn’t believe that after helping Shui Zha take down the boss, he would be spared!
But he knows very well that at this moment, the only option is to play along; otherwise, it’s too late to dodge now, and he’s likely to become a shooting victim.
"Alright! I’ll help you kill him!" Monkey agreed with a nod, then slowly walked towards him.
Shui Zha was a bit puzzled—why walk over to kill him? Aren’t you blocking my shot?
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don’t come over!"
Unfortunately, it was a sudden incident, and he habitually used his right hand to wave, which was holding the gun. To Monkey, this was a sure sign of being uneasy, further confirming the suspicion of delaying tactics! This action seemed like Shuizha was about to shoot him!
Thus, having moved a few steps closer, Monkey sped up and swung the hammer in his hand heavily at Shui Zha’s head! Then dove aside to dodge bullets.
Shui Zha never dreamed that Monkey would not only fail to help him search for the enemy but also feign cooperation and then try to ambush him!
At this moment, he suddenly seemed to understand the boss’s predicament—when the hammer is already coming down, who cares about saving face? He hesitated not to shoot!
Lacking experience, he realized the vulnerability of lying on the ground. Standing, he could dodge left or right, crouch, or tilt his head to dodge the hammer. But now, as it came down from above, not only was its momentum stronger, his room and range for dodging were significantly limited!
While shooting, he found there was hardly any room to tilt his head, instinctively shifted as much as possible, grabbing his head with the other hand. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Close range, big target, the bullet decisively penetrated Monkey’s body! The hammer similarly struck Shui Zha’s head!
Five people, perfectly resolved!
Even Li Yan himself did not expect that with just a little effort, he could easily dismantle them. All he did was tug at two people, kick Shui Zha to change direction. No real effort or planning required, much less using Heart Demon.
Yet now, a perfect cleanup is necessary!
The severely injured three might not be completely dead; the two with headshots are only heavily wounded. Ending them all on such occasions, Li Yan has countless ways. Their internal conflicts and chaotic fighting provided him a great opportunity to arrange a scene of mutual destructiveness and coincidental deaths, significantly saving his energy.
...
Ten plus minutes later, Li Yan had already arranged the scene more perfectly and cleaned every trace related to himself.
During this process, no one knocked on the door from outside, nor did anyone call the police. This developed industrial town’s population and GDP were comparable to a medium-sized city inland, if not more. Yet the population structure involved, predominantly migrant workers and a small native population. Such disparity meant external people from all over had high mobility, and neighbors on the same floor often didn’t know each other, let alone other buildings. Meanwhile, natives typically construct multiple properties for rent and don’t wish to live with outside workers.
Moreover, ’each person sweeps the snow before their door, ignoring the frost on others’ roof’ is a common urban reality. Unless it involves their own home, not even gunshots, explosions would spur action. Most simply perceive it as a loud noise, unaware or suspecting gunfire. Besides, it wasn’t long after the New Year, the sound of firecrackers were still frequent. At midnight, those asleep don’t bother, and those awake might curse a prankster. No one overthinks or intervenes.
During the cleanup, Li Yan also collected their phones. Not to protect their sources, clients, or bosses, but to avoid being traced for calling Huang Ying’s home.
After finishing, he promptly searched thoroughly, not disturbing any items in each room, including locating their drug-making site. In one room on the third floor, he found Huang Feng!
Huang Feng’s hands, feet, and mouth were bound. Having been tied tightly, cold and hungry, he fell asleep, only to be awakened by the gunfire, realizing they had guns—especially the second shot confirming it was from below—feeling very tense, fearing they’d come up to shoot him. When he saw Li Yan, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
What shocked him further was that supposed rescuer Li Yan, upon meeting him, didn’t free him, but knocked him out!
Li Yan feared he’d be scared into a panic from witnessing the scene downstairs, risking more unnecessary traces and later running his mouth, so simply knocked him out and took him away.
