Special Forces Medic-Chapter 763 - 730: Hua Qingyi Was Frightened
"Can you recognize who it is?" Hua Qingyi, getting out of the car, was a bit breathless, swallowing hard with his messy hair fluttering in the sea breeze. Xiao Lin looked up at him and shook his head. "Damn it!" Hua Qingyi cursed, kicking hard to one side. "Where? Where the hell?"
Xiao Lin could understand Hua Qingyi's feelings at the moment, but what he couldn't understand was why the other person was acting so impulsively at this time.
Yan Juanjuan was missing, and along with her, Yan Fengying had also vanished! Even after mobilizing the police force, they couldn't find any clues. The opposition did it thoroughly and meticulously, with top-notch anti-detection skills. This was the strongest opponent they had encountered so far, leaving them feeling utterly helpless.
"Calm down first." Xiao Lin approached Hua Qingyi only after he had vented. "There is no doubt that our opponent this time knows our ways very well."
"You mean..."
"I can't be sure it's him, but is there anyone who knows our habits better than him?"
Pain was apparent on Xiao Lin's face. If it were just once, he could deceive himself into thinking he'd been mistaken, but such self-deception wasn't suitable for him.
A partner with whom one has executed countless tasks sometimes feels closer than family. Every weakness could be exposed to a partner because these are people who could be chosen by the Grim Reaper at any moment. They have no retreat, that's what makes them comrades walking the edge, and at that moment, Xiao Lin could not bring himself to admit it. He didn't want to admit it.
"The body has been soaking in seawater for more than twenty-four hours, and judging by the last time Yan Juanjuan was seen, this woman is not her. But based on the characteristics of body hair, I suspect she might be Yan Fengying." Xiao Lin unzipped the body bag, and a rush of sea stench immediately hit them. After soaking in water for a long time, the skin becomes swollen and pale, causing extreme distortion of the face, making it impossible to recognize her original appearance by normal means. "From the ring on the deceased's ring finger, she is indeed Yan Fengying, but I won't rule out possible disguise. Let's transport the body back to the City Police Department first and wait for the results from the forensic team."
"Is it still going to be Mu Rongyun who handles it? You might remember that Xiao Mei's body wasn't hers, right?" Hua Qingyi still warned Xiao Lin not to overly rely on or believe that their enemies could change. Xiao Lin's excessive kindness could end up harming him.
"It's not that I believe he will change, but for now, there's no one more suitable. If he fakes it, the one he wrongs wouldn't be me, but Wu Shuang."
Xiao Lin was quite certain on this point. In fact, anyone could see Mu Rongyun's different attitude toward Wu Shuang, but that did not mean he was genuinely good. Hua Qingyi couldn't trust Mu Rongyun the way Xiao Lin did.
Xiao Lin made no further argument on this matter. He understood Hua Qingyi's doubts were valid from his standpoint. "If you have a better candidate, I have no objection."
"Xiao Lin, you know well I don't want to argue with you on this matter. I know you haven't been well lately, and Hong's death was an accident, not your fault."
Hua Qingyi seemed tired of Xiao Lin's attitude toward life; he couldn't understand why it had to be this way. Didn't they have the initial trust between them? He couldn't stand Xiao Lin's concealment from him.
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Lin raised an eyebrow. At the mention of Hong, his left eyebrow lifted. Xiao Lin typically raised only his right eyebrow, so Hua Qingyi was sure that Xiao Lin's darker side was because of Hong's death.
"You know what I'm talking about? Don't play dumb with me here. I've known you since we were kids; I know exactly what kind of person you are." Furiously, Hua Qingyi yanked at the collar of Xiao Lin's nonchalant smile. Was he being seen through?
"Let go." Xiao Lin's gaze fell on Hua Qingyi's hand. The gripped collar made it hard for him to breathe; Hua Qingyi was being a bit rough. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Tell me, what's going on?" Slightly easing his grip, but Hua Qingyi didn't let go.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Let go, don't force me to retaliate." Xiao Lin's voice turned cold as he warned Hua Qingyi.
"Where's Hong's body?" Of course, Hua Qingyi heard the warning, but he didn't want to let go so easily. Once he did, he might never get the chance to ask again.
"Hong is not dead, there is no body!" Xiao Lin's response left Hua Qingyi shocked, staring at him dumbfounded with rare terror in his eyes.
"Don't scare me! You know this isn't something to joke about."
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it, so why bother." Xiao Lin's hand was already on Hua Qingyi's wrist. "Let go."
"Lin, wake up, Hong is dead, everyone saw him die."
Ah! Xiao Lin sighed, stepping his left foot forward between Hua Qingyi's legs and forcibly wrenching his wrist, pushing him outward.
Feeling the pressure from his wrist, Hua Qingyi released his grip, and his parallel stance was destabilized by the foot Xiao Lin inserted, forcing him to let go. But simultaneously, he pivoted back a step and aimed a kick at Xiao Lin's left shoulder.
Almost as if predicting Hua Qingyi's counterattack, Xiao Lin leapt away, reacting swiftly to dodge Hua Qingyi's attack. He swung his fist and lunged at the right side.
Silently, the two of them started attacking each other by the corpse. This was no joke, but an earnest, intense hand-to-hand combat. Each move was executed with lethal intent; a slightest slip could result in being taken down, so neither of them could relax. They faced their opponent with serious resolve.
"Lao Xu, am I seeing things?" Lao Xu's car was parked behind Wang Xi's. He instructed the people in front to stay in the car through the radio while he and Shi Shuai witnessed the two battling each other.
"Your eyes aren't failing, neither are mine. Don't ask such pointless questions." Idle chatter should be reserved for appropriate times and places, and now was not the time to speak.
"I meant why is the boss fighting his boss?"
"If I knew, wouldn't I step in to break it up?" Xu Ming snapped at Shi Shuai in exasperation. He also wanted to know why the two were fighting for no apparent reason. Could there be a problem with the body? (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes, monthly votes.
