Chapter 246: Murder

After an extended version of the birthday song, the cake cart just moved to the middle of the hall and stopped next to the crystal cup tower. It was so accurate that Long Yifan and his younger brothers and sisters had been rehearsing a lot, right? A silver beam of light fell from the sky. Everyone knew that the protagonist was about to make a grand appearance. There was a thunderous applause and the atmosphere was so warm.

The silver light column wandering around the lobby was suddenly pulled by some force and was suddenly sucked to the stairs on the second floor. At some point, there were several people standing there, standing in the middle, and the rich old man supported by two boys and girls, obviously the protagonist Long Xiaotian tonight.

If I only look at Long Xiaotian, I really can't believe that he is over 80 years old. He has a wide body and a fat body, kind eyebrows and a smile on his face. Although his hair is gray, it is lush and tight, with a back-back head shape. The wrinkles on his forehead are very shallow. I don't know if he is calm, young, or so "delicate" with a lot of money.

There were only a few people behind Long Xiaotian, but they were all very indifferent. Since he was accompanied by him before he appeared, he thought he was all guests with more noble identities. I wanted to ask Murphy beside me if the kind-hearted person who helped me to plead for me to take away the old man and Ku'er was also among them, but when Long Xiaotian coughed twice, the people in the lobby immediately became quiet and knew that the birthday boy was about to start talking. Long Xiaotian smiled slightly, and the intoxicated expression of self-satisfied made me sick. Because of Ku'er's affairs, I still couldn't feel good about him.

"Today is Long's 80th birthday. The children must hold a so-called birthday party for me. I hope I can spend this important day happily, but I really didn't expect that so many good friends came to this small Qianlong Manor tonight, which really made Long so flattered and terrified..."

This old guy is so shameless. He clearly sent someone to invite him by posting a invitation, but he pretended to be unexpected and praising him to satisfy himself. It shows his vanity. It seems that the bad reputation in the circle is not because everyone is aimless, but it makes sense.

Long Xiaotian's voice was a bit hoarse, but it was magnetic and very distinctive. His tone was soothing, but every word was powerful, giving people a sense of calmness and oppression. This is probably the so-called aura? Just speaking reveals a unique aura. Although his reputation has been criticized, he does have extraordinary features.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to celebrate my birthday for someone Long..."

"It's not about birthday, but about sending you off!"

A sound came out of nowhere and simply interrupted Long Xiaotian. Out of politeness, when Long Xiaotian spoke, the venue was extremely quiet, so the discordant sound seemed particularly harsh and clear, as if a thunder thunder was on a sunny day.

Before everyone could react, a loud bang came, and people were stunned. On the stairs, Long Xiaotian, who showed surprise and unhappiness, froze this complex smile on his face forever. A bloody flower bloomed on his forehead. Even though I was far away, I could clearly see that it was because a blood hole was blown out of his head.

Gun... Gunning?!

It was not until Long Xiaotian's fat body collapsed weakly, then fell out of the silver beam of light and rolled down from the high stairs. It was not until people nearby took their breath that the leading tycoon in the real estate industry in Beitian City had turned into a lifeless corpse and let out a heart-wrenching scream that I suddenly came to my senses.

Something happened! Killing someone! Long Xiaotian is dead!!!

Oh my God, no, right?! I can't believe what happened in front of me. A few seconds ago, Long Xiaotian was still standing on the second floor and speaking. Why did he fall on the carpet on the first floor in the blink of an eye?! I have lived for twenty-four years and saw the dead for the first time, and it was the one who died in front of me!

I thought I was the person who was most afraid, but when I came to my senses, I found that Dong Xiaoye, who was a detective, was even worse than me. She was like Murphy, grabbing my sleeves from left to right, and her face was pale and trembling all over, and she didn't dare to accept this reality.

"Run...Run!" I could only think of this reaction, holding Murphy with one hand and Dong Xiaoye with the other. While the panic had not yet formed a scale, while the lobby was dark, I rushed towards the door. Damn, I didn't expect that there would be one in ten thousand and one chance to be hit by me, and a bold pervert really popped up!

God knows where the murderer was hiding and firing, but one thing is certain, he is in this lobby, so escaping is the best choice. Fortunately, our location is right near the door.

Dong Xiaoye was pulled out by me and ran out for four or five steps. He suddenly realized, suddenly stopped and tried to shake my hand away, shouting: "Let go, Chu Nan! Everyone, calm down, don't panic, I am a policeman..."

"Don't shout!" I hurriedly covered her mouth, what a joke? Since the madman dared to shoot, it proves that he is not afraid of the police at all. You don't know his location at all. You rashly expose yourself, you are purely seeking death!

"Bang!" Another gunshot sounded, and a loud voice was heard not far away shouting: "Squat down, I am a policeman, turn on the lights, everyone squat down! Don't panic...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the man who fired a gun to warn him in pain, and then the lights lit up. Next to Long Xiaotian's body, another person fell in a pool of blood. Next to him was a guy wearing a mask, dressed in a black suit, dressed as a guest, and a wisp of blue smoke floated in his muzzle.

The madman is far away from me. It's great. If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay? Not to mention that I didn't wear red underwear today, even if I wear it, I'm not a superman. My buddy's legs are weak, so how can I care about other people's lives? I don't know where I got the strength. I clamped Dong Xiaoye under my arm with one arm, pulled Murphy with the other hand, and ran towards the door, but at this time, the door was already crowded.

Strange, when did the door close? My heart sank.

If the person who sent Long Xiaotian the threat letter was the same as the person who sent the report letter to the municipal bureau, then this madman was obviously a life-threatening murderer. He might have wanted to leave the manor alive. Who can guarantee whether a desperate person would start a massacre? In front of life, people are humble and selfish. I don’t long for the appearance of heroes. I just want to take Murphy and Dong Xiaoye to escape.

I am not a policeman, what does other people's life or death have to do with me?

"Bang!"

The gunshots at the door made everyone, including me, fall into despair. There was more than one madman. "Don't be messy, noble guests, the banquet has just begun, why should you rush to leave? Listen to the words of that policeman, squat down, otherwise you will bleed."

He was holding his thighs in front of the door and screaming in pain. He actually felt a guy I knew - the chairman of Tulip Fishing Resort, Tang Lian! This guy actually came to attend Long Xiaotian's birthday party. If he hadn't been running in the front and was shot by a madman, I probably wouldn't have noticed him.

My heart tightened. Tang Lian called Dongfang Lianren the eldest lady. If the Tang surnamed had dates with the Long family, then... Dongfang Lianren wouldn't have received Long Xiaotian's invitation too? Could it be that Dongfang Xiaoniang was also in this venue?!

The people who squeezed towards the door spread out and dodged like frightened birds and beasts, screaming in despair and crying filled the magnificent lobby. I also carefully took a few steps back, put down Dong Xiaoye, and pulled her and Murphy to squat down.

Dong Xiaoye glared at me fiercely, "Chu Nan, are you crazy? Don't you know I am a policeman?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm afraid you're crazy. The situation has not been clear. What's your fault?" I said angrily: "If I hadn't pulled you, who would have been shot and fell to the ground now?"

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that there are definitely more than one prisoner. Dong Xiaoye also knew that she was really too impulsive just now and couldn't help but turn red. It's no wonder that she was young, so she had encountered such a perverted case? It's reasonable to have insufficient experience, but she still dissatisfied and whispered: "Do you want to remind me to calm down? You want to run away!"

"Nonsense, I'm not a policeman, is it wrong to escape?"

"If you want to run, run away, why are you still holding me?!"

"I'm happy, do you have any control?" I didn't want to argue with Dong Xiaoye anymore and said discouragedly: "Now I can't run away even if I want to. Look at the situation yourself. How many people are being held hostage? Can you, a policeman, be useless to stay?"

"I..." Dong Xiaoye looked at the madman guarding the door and could not refute me.

This madman was the waiter who had just passed by me with wine! He stomped on the wound on Tang Lian's thigh and chased and stepped on it. Tang Lian's howling was like a pig, desperate and trembling. No one wanted to be the next him, so the people who were tall in the past curled up in a trembling state.

We became hostages to the lunatics.

Murphy sat on the ground, fearful, her legs had lost strength, and she hugged my arm tightly, "Chu Nan..."

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." I comforted Murphy, guarding Dong Xiaoye, and my mind was running rapidly at the same time. If there was only one person, he might be a life-threatening madman, but the current situation is...

There were three people who didn't squat down. One of them was thin and dressed as a waiter, and the other two were tall and strong. The three of them were wearing guns, blocking the two windows and the door of the room where Long Yifan and others had just pushed out the cake. With the staircase and the main entrance, the five people almost blocked all possible escape routes. If it was not a coincidence, it could only prove that they had a premeditated and planned crime! But... I was a little puzzled. Since it was a crime, why did they deliberately alarm the police? Could it be that these madmen were sure to escape under the siege of the police, trying to create a shocking case and leave a name for history and have a reputation for being infamous for thousands of years?

What is their purpose? To seek wealth? Then why do you kill Long Xiaotian by name? Seeking revenge? Then why do you take hostages? This is obviously contradictory, and... Some people dress up as waiters, while others dress up as guests. How did these guys get in? Are the Long family and the police idiots? There are too many unreasonable things...
