Animal Detective

Chapter 120 Shooting

Because of Dingshan Temple, Dingshan has undergone a certain degree of development.

There are hiking trails and a signal tower on the mountain. In addition to burning incense and praying to Buddha, the surrounding residents also come here to exercise by hiking.

However, the developed areas are limited, and most of the areas are still difficult-to-access wild forests.

Shen Xin led the way. Judging from the route, Wang Yuansheng wanted to go down the mountain, but some places were impassable, so he was forced to turn back and take a detour.

But overall, the direction was still downwards, perhaps because they were trying to escape from another location.

However, DouDou's sense of smell is reliable.

Her previous act of chasing her husband for 30 kilometers was enough to prove how amazing her tracking ability was.

So it was never lost.

As dusk fell and trees provided cover overhead, the forest was pitch black. With flashlights already on, Sun Zhao repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful.

If you accidentally step into the air and roll down, it's no joke.

As we chased after them, and felt we were almost at the foot of the mountain, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Captain Sun, we've found Wang Yuansheng. He's taken a hostage and is located west of the intersection of Dingshan North Road and Cuifeng Road."

Sun Zhao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered his men to control the situation to avoid provoking Wang Yuansheng.

At the same time, he quickly contacted Feng Kaiwei through the radio.

If hostages are taken, special police will definitely need to be deployed.

After saying that, he told Shen Xin to speed up as much as possible.

We're all on the mountain now, and we can't go down directly. We can only follow Wang Yuansheng's trail down the mountain.

The location indicated on the walkie-talkie should be not far ahead.

Shen Xin didn't speak, but just tried to quicken his pace.

Just then, a loud bang was heard.

It was short and sharp, coming from a distance.

Shen Xin suddenly stopped, his heart pounding.

That's gunfire!
Sun Zhao's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed the walkie-talkie to ask urgently what was going on.

There was no response for a moment.

Fortunately, the gunfire did not continue.

A few seconds later, a noisy and chaotic sound came from the walkie-talkie.

"Captain Sun, Wang Yuansheng has injured a hostage, and he's gone up the mountain again..."

"Grass!"

Sun Zhao was so anxious he wished he could grow wings and fly to the scene.

Just then, DouDou suddenly barked urgently and tried to rush forward.

She seemed to have discovered something.

Shen Xin quickly walked forward.

The crowd behind them quickly followed.

The sudden gunshots weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

After walking nearly fifty meters, with one foot in the mud and the other in the water, DouDou shouted again.

With the help of his flashlight, Shen Xin, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted a person leaning against a tree in the woods ahead, panting heavily.

Startled by the flashlight beam, he turned around abruptly and ran away.

"stop!"

Shen Xin instinctively shouted.

But it obviously didn't work.

Wang Yuansheng climbed up the mountain using both his hands and feet. In his panic, he slipped and fell to the ground.

However, the group was some distance away from him, and the mountain road was difficult to traverse, so it wasn't something they could catch up with easily.

Wang Yuansheng, who had slipped, struggled to get up, but after taking two steps, he twisted his ankle and fell to the ground.

"Stop running, or we'll shoot."

Someone shouted from behind; it sounded like Chen Chao.

But it didn't work at all.

Wang Yuansheng struggled to get up and continued climbing the mountain, but after a few steps, he cried out in pain again.

He kept working, trying to stand up and walk, but he couldn't walk fast at all.

He was in a sorry state, and so were everyone else.

Not to mention the uneven, potholed ground underfoot, there were also small trees whose branches would whip you.

Wearing summer clothes, even a slight scratch feels like a burning pain.

They couldn't care less.

Shen Xin had to hold Dou Dou's hand while sliding down the slide several times.

Shen Xin was so anxious that he wanted to unleash his dogs to chase him.

But I dare not.

Despite their formidable fighting prowess, dogs are no match for a desperate human.

Not to mention that Wang Yuansheng was also holding a kitchen knife.

But they've already caught up.

At this moment, Wang Yuansheng fell to the ground again. He rolled over, sat up, grabbed a stone from the ground, and threw it at him.

Shen Xin instinctively shrank his neck. The stone hit the tree trunk.

Wang Yuansheng yelled and kept throwing stones, but there weren't enough stones around. He gripped his cleaver tightly and screamed at the crowd, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll kill you all!"

His clothes were a mess, as was his hair; he was drenched in sweat, his hair tangled together in strands.

His face was dirty and covered in blood.

His expression was panicked and frantic; he gripped a kitchen knife, waving it in the air and screaming at the crowd.

The group then caught up.

Shen Xin stopped, panting, and dragged Dou Dou along, not daring to go forward.

I didn't bring a gun with me when I went out.

"Wang Yuansheng, you can't escape now, drop the knife!" Chen Chao leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

Everyone had the same reaction.

Ding Yuwei almost collapsed to the ground.

Sun Zhao was holding his back and could barely stand up.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill you all!" Wang Yuansheng screamed, then roared like a madman, "Let me go! I'm going to kill that man! If you don't let me go, I'll kill you all!"

He brandished the kitchen knife and screamed incessantly.

Chen Chao caught his breath, pulled out his pistol, and tried to shout, but he couldn't get the words out. He gestured and said, "Pepper spray, spray him!"

Criminal investigators don't usually carry this thing.

As they went up the mountain together, the colleagues from Dingshan Police Station all took out pepper spray.

This thing can shoot five or six meters away, and sometimes it's even more effective than a gun.

Puff.

Several cans of pepper spray were sprayed out at the same time.

Regardless of accuracy, if you spray this on yourself, even Tyson would be kneeling before you.

Wang Yuansheng waved his arms to block it, but it was no use at all. It seemed that the spitting had even entered his mouth, and he immediately turned his head and let out a shrill scream.

Even so, he was still clinging tightly to the kitchen knife.

But he couldn't hold out for long; he soon lost control, dropped the cleaver, and started rolling around on the spot in a frenzy.

Chen Chao gritted his teeth and rushed forward, first kicking away the kitchen knife, and together with his colleague Lao Zhao, they held Wang Yuansheng down tightly.

Wang Yuansheng was still struggling, screaming and cursing all sorts of profanities.

Only after being handcuffed did Sun Zhao breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie to ask who fired the shot and what happened.

The colleagues on the road below slowly climbed up and caught up.

The one leading the group was my colleague Zhou Zhongyi.

He was clutching a gun in his hand, and he was panting heavily as he ran.

"I drove it!"

He saw Wang Yuansheng being restrained and breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against a tree trunk and almost collapsed to the ground. He then explained, "This kid is really crazy. He just started slashing with a knife. I had no choice but to fire a warning shot."

Sun Zhao sat down, supporting his lower back.

The gun had already been fired; discussion was a matter for later. He hurriedly asked about the hostages' condition.

"Don't even mention it, I got stabbed in the back and I'm waiting for an ambulance."

Sun Zhao's vision went black again.

Shen Xin also sat down, he was really too tired.

Ding Yuwei led Tiger to sit down next to Shen Xin and asked him how he was doing.

"It's nothing," Shen Xin waved his hand.

When he saw Tiger Stripe rummaging through his pockets again, he slapped him in annoyance.

He glanced back at Wang Yuansheng.

This guy kept cursing, constantly crying and coughing; he was acting like a madman.

Sun Zhao didn't have time to rest and immediately went down the mountain to check on the hostages.

Chen Chao then stepped forward and asked Zhou Zhongyi about the details of the shooting.

Wang Yuansheng made his way down the mountain by kicking down the guardrail around the mountain and crossing the roadside green belt.

He didn't seem to know how to drive, so instead of stopping a car, he stopped an electric scooter.

She was a middle-aged woman, whom he dragged to the ground.

Just then, Zhou Zhongyi was patrolling the outskirts of Dingshan in a police car, preventing Wang Yuansheng from sneaking down the mountain and escaping.

He immediately got out of the car and stopped Wang Yuansheng.

Wang Yuansheng then abducted the middle-aged woman as a hostage.

He yelled at her to leave, and when he realized he couldn't get away, he stabbed the middle-aged woman.

One cut wasn't enough; another cut was needed.

It was at this moment that Zhou Zhongyi fired a warning shot.

As soon as the gun was fired, Wang Yuansheng stopped slashing, turned around and ran, running up the mountain again.

After explaining, Zhou Zhongyi asked, "Old Chen, is everything alright?"

Chen Chao knew what he was worried about, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, you should have just hit him directly."

In that situation, Wang Yuansheng was already insane; he could have easily shot him dead.
