The sun sets in the sky and the night gradually rises.

Darkness is devouring the world little by little.

Paris under the night shows the world its other side of its radiance, rich and luxurious, but also more charming!

This is a street in the 12th District, close to Vincent Lake, with green trees and beautiful scenery, making it a pretty residential area.

Today is the weekend and I just got off work.

A residential area like this should be coming and going, and it should be very lively.

But at this time, there was no sign of a person, and there was no car. The street was empty and quiet and strange!

Not only that, the atmosphere on the street seemed a bit depressing and a bit solemn.

In a house on the street, Isaac and several subordinates were staring at an apartment building across the street through the blinds.

The serial murderer Edmund lives in the apartment building opposite.

His apartment is on the third and fourth floors and is a duplex house.

"Nick, how are the evacuation of residents in the building? There is a very likely fire exchange to occur later. Try not to affect other residents."

Isaac asked in a low voice through the intercom.

The next moment, Nick's voice came over.

"The evacuation has been basically completed, and only the scumbag Edmund's neighbors are left, and they can break into the door and arrest them. The guys can't wait."

In the apartment building, dozens of fully armed special police and serious crime agents have blocked the corridor.

They were divided into two groups, one group gathered on the stairs from the second to third floors, and the other group was on the stairs from the fifth to fourth floors, preparing to attack up and down to block Edmund's escape route.

There are two groups of special police on the roof, ready to fall from the sky and break the window to assault.

Although there is a monitoring system in this apartment building, it is not a problem.

Edmund's several pinhole cameras arranged outside the apartment building, on the stairs, and at the door of his home have also been done.

In the anonymous tips received by the police, the existence of these cameras and their locations were clearly pointed out.

This afternoon, police technicians pretended to be power maintenance workers and entered the apartment building, and used some technical means to get these surveillance probes.

At this time, the surveillance system and the pinhole cameras in the building were all surveillance videos from last night, which were what the police wanted Edmund to see.

To avoid alerting the snake, the police did not sneak into Edmund's apartment in the afternoon.

The few pinhole cameras he arranged in the apartment were still intact.

There was no one in the corridor, with only bursts of TV sounds coming from several doors.

There are four apartments here, two on the left and right stairs.

Nick, who was leading the team to hide at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, quickly poked his head out of the stairs and looked at the door of the apartment that was leaning inside on the left.

It was Edmund's apartment, only a few meters away from the stairs.

Inside the apartment.

Edmund, who had changed into home clothes, was making dinner in the kitchen.

On the operating table in front of him were two plates for serving steak, but only a set of knife and fork.

On the other side of the operating table, a woman with naked body, tape on her mouth and hands and feet tied up, sat on a bare stool and lay helplessly.

She was limp and had long lost the ability to move. She could only lie on the operating table, waiting for death to come in endless fear and despair.

But she was very clear-headed, and she stared at the man who was cooking with big eyes, begging all over her eyes.

Edmund looked at the naked woman and said lovingly:

"Dear, I will make a sumptuous dinner to enjoy with you. After dinner, there will be even more exciting programs!"

As he said that, he picked up a piece of marinated sirloin steak with a clip, put it in a freshly heated, and poured it into a frying pan with olive oil!

"Si Lala"

Amid the sound of the steak being roasted by high temperatures and hot oil, a strong aroma immediately released and scattered throughout the room.

"hiss!"

Edmund took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication.

Meanwhile, Isaac's intercom rang again.

"Boss, we observed through the thermal imager that Edmund was cooking in the kitchen, and the kidnapped victim was lying opposite the operating table. There was a certain distance between the two and it was time to move!"

The moment I received the notice, Isaac immediately issued an order.

"Action! Guys, go catch that devil, everyone be careful!"

"Received, boss!"

Nick responded and waved his hand forward.

The special police officers in charge of the main attack immediately stepped out, stepped into the corridor on the third floor, lined up in battle formations, and quickly touched the apartment on the left.

A group of serious crime team agents, including Nick, followed.

They were all very nervous, angry, and excited at this moment! Everyone wanted to kill the devil hiding in the apartment.

In the blink of an eye, the attacking team had arrived in front of the apartment and made almost no sound!

Immediately afterwards, the five-member special police team that was the main attack immediately dispersed to both sides of the door and quickly prepared for the attack.

The others were the same, lifting up the assault rifles and pistols in their hands, loading the bullets, pointing to the door, and preparing to enter the apartment.

At the same time, the two assault teams on the roof have also taken action!

Four fully armed special police officers successively climbed out of the eaves, clasped the downhill rope with both hands, and stepped on the wall with both feet, preparing for the downhill raid.

They each had a short assault rifle in front of them, and the bullets were loaded.

They can quickly enter the combat state by rushing into the apartment through the window and loosening the downhill rope!

In the corridor.

Nick looked at everyone on the scene, then bit his back teeth and roared in a low voice:

"Action, smash this damn door for me and send that devil to hell."

Before he finished speaking, the special policeman holding the door hammer had already taken the heavy door hammer and smashed it hard towards the location where the door lock was.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, the door was smashed open without any suspense.

But what everyone didn't expect was that there was actually an anti-theft chain inside the door.

"Bang"

Several special police officers who were about to rush into the apartment hit the door, making them very embarrassed.

After a brief panic, these guys immediately raised their feet and put them towards the door.

Unfortunately, the best time has been missed.

The moment the door was smashed open, Edmund, who was cooking, responded instantly.

He quickly picked up the olive oil bottle next to him with his left hand, threw it directly into the frying pan, and opened the burning natural gas to the maximum, but his right hand quickly opened a drawer under the operating table!

The next moment, he had an additional m4a1 assault rifle in his hand, and two magazines were tied with tape.

At this moment, the Paris special police at the door finally rushed in.

As soon as he entered the door, the special policeman holding a heavy explosion-proof shield saw a fire-breathing muzzle and Edmund who was quickly retreating to the window.

"Bang bang bang"

Accompanied by the sudden gunfire, a wave of bullets rushed towards him at high speed, hitting the heavy shield hard.

The special police team responsible for the assault was instantly suppressed and had to hide behind the police shield.

When they reacted, they were about to launch a counterattack.

"Bang!"

Edmund felt desperate and ran out of the window on the side of the kitchen and quickly fell downstairs!

He knew very well that as long as he was caught, he would be dead!

Behind the apartment building is a grassy field, and further out is a forest. Through the woods is the clear Vincent Lake.

As long as you can rush through the woods as quickly as possible and jump into Vincent Lake, you may escape!

Just as Edmund knocked out of the window, four special police officers who were raiding from the rooftop kicked open the windows of the living room and bedroom and broke into the apartment.

Their movements from the sky were very fierce and standard, but they came too late and got the attack location wrong.

When they broke into the apartment, they saw many fully armed special police and serious crime team agents, as well as the poor woman lying naked on the operating table.

Isaac, who was directing the operation through surveillance video, was stunned for a moment, and then started to roar wildly.

"Catch that beast for me, at all costs, no matter how alive or dead!"
