Chapter 52 Fishing

Clean mattress.

Spotless floor.

There are also neatly visited furniture and various objects.

As a 68-year-old's bedroom, it's totally clean enough to be a pleasant surprise.

However, as a victim's bedroom, this is undoubtedly unqualified!

“Didn’t you tell the victim’s family to protect places where some valuable information might exist?”

Olivi pulled the police into the room with some annoyance, closed the bedroom door, avoided the young couple guarding outside the door, and whispered.

"Sir, I promise you that the police station told the family to keep all the items of the deceased as much as possible when confirming the identity of the deceased. I didn't expect that they would start cleaning the room because they waited for too long, because the deceased also had a wife, who was not young, and looking at the original arrangement, I would think of his deceased husband..."

The police defended a little embarrassedly that the behavior of the deceased's family caused a lot of trouble to the action, but if they really wanted to talk about them, they couldn't speak out. After all, this family was just for the sake of another old man to continue living.

"Let's take action separately, you're responsible for this, I'll go to the painter's place to take a look."

Zhu Jue raised his hand to wipe the door frame, and even felt a touch of wetness at his fingertips. I don’t know if it was because of the weather or just cleaned it before they came.

No matter what, it is unlikely to get more information here, and it is a waste of time for two people to waste here.

"Okay, I'll take you..."

"Don't follow me, Olivia, send me the address, I'll go there myself, and check the situation around me."

Rejecting the police's idea of ​​carrying him on a journey, Zhu Jue opened the door and walked out. He happened to meet a couple walking upstairs with three cups of steaming coffee.

"Sir, we made your coffee for you. Although it is not a high-end product, it tastes pretty good."

The woman with a fat figure held a cup of coffee and handed it to Zhu Jue with both hands, pulling the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile, but she never smiled. There were a few more wrinkles on the corners of her mouth, which made her expression look a little stiff.

"Thank you...hiss~"

Zhu Jue reached out to pick up the coffee cup, but the moment he touched it, he was burned by the hot cup wall. He gasped and turned to hold the bottom of the cup.

His strong physical fitness prevented Zhu Jue from letting go of the coffee cup. He only looked at the woman's red fingers with some confusion.

Don't she feel hot?

Zhu Jue, who rushed to the painter's residence, was not too entangled with this issue. He took a few sips of coffee, letting the slightly bitter taste wander in his mouth, and boosting his dull mood because of the bad weather.

He put on the raincoat he had just taken off for a while and stepped into the door and rained heavily.

Olivi sent the map of the painter's residence to Zhu Jue's mobile phone. It was a distance from here, but not too far. The heavy rain did not cause too much obstacle for Zhu Jue. When he was moving alone, he secretly summoned the scavenger to his feet to form roller skates-like roller skates. The speed of travel was not slow.

About twenty minutes later, a single-family villa that looked more upscale than the previous residence of the family appeared in front of Zhu Jue. The police said it was right before. The location of the residence chosen by the painter was really remote.

Unlike other residents in the town who generally build houses. On relatively dry highlands in the swamp forest, the painter's residence is actually next to the swamp lake. The houses are suspended in an air structure, with a bottom two to three meters away from the ground.

On the right side of the house is the swamp lake, and there is also a building that looks like a private port, with speedboats docking. However, judging from the arrangement without rain protection measures and the duckweed accumulated around the ship, it should have been stored here for a long time.

On the left is dense vegetation, with a large number of unknown vines crawling half of the walls, and even half of the windows are covered.

Walking up the stairs outside the house, the wooden boards under your feet creaked, Zhu Jue looked at the curtains pulled in the house and accelerated his pace.

The sound of branches breaking!

Zhu Jue, who had just walked to the main entrance, heard an abnormal sound, and immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Behind the bushes a few meters away on the left, a pale face was looking at this side!

The sights of both sides intersected in the rain, and paused in an instant. The next second Zhu Jue slapped on the railing, turned over and jumped straight for the man. The latter did not wait in place, but turned around and ran.

Zhu Jue's speed at running with all his might is needless to say, like a cheetah shuttled through the forest. The bushes or muddy roads along the way could not hinder his pace at all. The distance between the two sides was brought closer at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing that he could not run away, the people in front of him had already had a gun in their hands when they turned around again, and they were gasping for breath. The rain splashed out along the heat. They stared at Zhu Jue and shouted in a deep voice: "Police, hold your head with both hands and squat down!"

"Are you a policeman?"

With his roar, Zhu Jue, who was about to take action, stopped moving forward again and said as he walked,

"Even if you want to find a reason, please ask you to find a more reasonable one. If you are a policeman, why should you run away? Besides, the gun in your hand is not a standard pistol from the police station, and your ID is also yours. Is it okay to pretend to be a policeman nowadays to rely on your mouth?"

Bang!

The gunshots sounded in the rain, not from the front, but from the swamp forest on the side. Zhu Jue turned sideways and a scorching bullet passed by in front of him.

And accomplices?

There was no longer any hesitation and rushed towards the person ahead. Zhu Jue was about to take down this suspicious guy first. However, what Zhu Jue did not expect was that the target used the space he had won with the gunfire just now and jumped directly into the swamp lake beside him.

"Ha, do you really treat yourself as a mermaid?"

Zhu Jue looked at the ripples that had not yet dissipated on the lake surface and made a move to throw the rod when fishing with his right hand. Although there was no fishing rod in his hand, there was still a "fishing line" thrown out.

The "fish hook" transformed by the scavenger falls into the river without any bait because it will find its own target. It only takes a few seconds. Zhu Jue believes that the person who jumped into the lake will definitely not be able to swim far. He stands on the shore to spread his perception and wants to lock the other party's position as fast as possible.

Buzz!!!

The warning that suddenly appeared in Zhu Jue's mind forcibly interrupted his perception. The scavenger who had just been thrown out lost Zhu Jue's order and just blindly shuttled through the lake, looking for the target that he didn't know where he went...

“Where is it?”

With some indescribable and disgusting feeling rushed into my mind, Zhu Jue gritted his teeth and looked around with a low growl.

Such a strong warning buzzing sound, Zhu Jue had not encountered many times. At this time, he had completely given up feeling the person just now, and began to look for the existence that suddenly appeared and interfered with him.

At some point.

When he turned his sight to the swamp forest in the distance, he saw the existence.

It floated in a forest, with a huge number of spikes that seemed to emit a dark brown metallic luster even in the rain, and Zhu Jue was sure that this was just a part of the main body hidden under the lake, so he widened his eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate the rain curtain and write down the guy's appearance completely.

However, this was just Zhu Jue's wishful thinking. As soon as he noticed the existence of that place, the latter had already begun to slowly sink into the lake.

The entire process does not exceed 10 seconds.

In the end, everything was calm.

Only the heavy rain remains!
