Chapter 138 The cat catches the mouse
On the slum streets at dawn, two figures were running one after another.
In front was a short boy, with many dirty traces flowing on his clearly contoured face, as if he had just come out of a coal mine. He ran forward panting, and did he turn his head to look at the pursuers following him? When he saw that the distance had almost changed, he ran even harder.
The person chasing him seemed quite relaxed, and he didn't even sweat a drop. He was not alone, because he was carrying a man of similar size to him, but his actions were not affected at all. He jogged easily and kept him away from the boy ahead.
That's right, on the early morning of the streets, the person who was performing the street chase scene was Curt and the boy who tried to attack him. The boy desperately searched for a way to escape in the narrow slum streets, but he couldn't escape from Curt's sight.
The pursuit between the two began at the end of the alley and then turned into the slightly wider unknown path not far away. Curt had to admit that the boy was running faster than ordinary people. His thin body swung rapidly, running quietly on the road.
It seemed that the boy was very confident in his footwork. When he first ran away, he didn't notice Curt following him. However, after a straight road, he turned around and wanted to see how far he had already opened, but found that the distance between him and Curt was almost unchanged.
Curt looked at the boy with a smile, his face changed from a cheerful sarcasm to a stiff astonishment, and then became a little scared. The series of changes in expressions were almost completed in an instant. The boy turned his head in a little frightened manner, speeding up his running speed.
Curt actually wanted to tell him that it was a wrong decision to speed up his pace. Running at a certain pace is not fast, but you won’t be tired even if you can run for a long time. Although it can increase your speed in a short time, you will easily feel tired after being disrupted.
Curt also accelerated his pace as the boy accelerated and slowly increased his speed to a level similar to the boy. He steadily held the staff on his back and ran along with the boy with plenty of room.
Many residents in the slums have woken up, and the atmosphere of life has begun to appear in the streets. The pursuit of the two seems to have attracted the attention of some residents. It is still early and there are no people rushing to work on the narrow streets, so the teenagers who retreat at full speed can continue to accelerate without being blocked. Finally, they successfully transferred to the relatively complex lane network of this area.
The boy chased by Curt kept speeding up until he turned into the trail near Beisai Road. In fact, this was also a wrong choice... because once he entered this section, the debris piled up everywhere would trip him up. The boy originally wanted to speed up again here. He used the complex road structure to shake off Curt. However, just to maintain speed, he had to shake his body left and right to prevent him from hitting various debris.
After walking through the alley for a while, when he was about to turn to Bellsize Road, the boy had already slowed down a lot of speed due to a large number of obstacles. Curt, who was following not far away, still maintained a slow speed and continued to chase. The boy seemed to be planning to start trying to find a way to deal with him.
He broke open the wooden boxes stacked beside the road, and a pair of medium-sized rubber products spilled from the wooden boxes with various kinds of garbage, as if he wanted to use this to stop Curt from chasing behind him. But he didn't care at all, and directly knocked away the falling garbage with the staff on his back.
If the boy who escaped all the way wanted to block Curt, he had to use a roadblock that could block two or three people to block the alley. Otherwise, Curt would kick off the roadblocks just like now. The boy ran with all his might, trying to keep the highway as fast as possible before turning into the alley at another intersection.
But this speed cannot last. The boy's pace was already disrupted by himself, and his heavy breathing was also telling the pursuer behind him that his physical strength was no longer enough. Curt was still chasing him with slow steps. In order to see what the boy's next reaction, he chased after him without a reporter.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
While passing through an alley that spans the block, the two men, one in front and one behind, unexpectedly encountered a pair of patrol guards. They were arranged by the police officer assigned to Cott to find Yu Geely, but Cott could see that they had no gains.
How could the young man who was still running away deal with the questioning police officer? He lowered his body and knocked away the police officer who came forward, and continued to run forward with all his strength.
"Wait, Mr. Leinster? Why are you here?" The police officer who was hit grinned and covered his waist. Only then did he see that the other person who was running with the boy was Curt. Immediately, a lot of questions blurted out, "Didn't that guy Parker ask you to go to the alley over there to investigate?"
It turned out that the security officer was called Parker... From the tone of this security officer, he did not respect him as much as Grosted. Obviously, the relationship between superiors and subordinates between them was not obvious. Either the security officer named Parker was unpopular, or the positions between them were not much different.
"Sorry, something happened when I was investigating... But I still have to chase that guy now, so I don't have time to explain to you. I also found this guy in the alley there. I remember he seems to be a member of the guard team. You better take him back to the team for treatment."
Although he said sorry words, Curt had no intention of apologizing on his face. Instead, he wrote about finding a partner who could hand over the pressure and felt relaxed. He slowed down, ran to the side of the guards and handed over the unconscious staff on his back to them without saying a word.
After taking the unconscious staff, several security officials immediately recognized his identity: "Wait... is this Swad? Shouldn't he stayed at the scene to sort out the objects... How could you find it in the alley there? And the smell is that he fell into the ditch?"
The colleagues who often worked with him were transported by Curt in this way, and the security officers all showed a somewhat surprised expression. Because in their impression, they saw him working on the spot before they came out, and it became like this within a short while, which was somewhat surprising.
"This question is very good...but how could I know why he was there?" Curt curled his lips, not intending to explain his inference to them. "I only know that I found someone in the alley that shouldn't be there, that's all."
First, he had no intention of telling them that someone might have been involved in the security troop. After all, there is no evidence to confirm this inference. Second, he must catch up with the escaped teenager, and Curt's intuition told him that this teenager would become a good breakthrough point.
"No, wait, can you say..."
He seemed to have thought of something similar to Curt, and his bad premonition made his face dark suddenly. After muttering a few words, he didn't care about his companions asking "What's wrong with you?", but wanted to catch Curt and ask him carefully about the problem that happened at that time.
But before he could finish this sentence, Curt ran away. He speeded up to catch up with the boy who was trying to escape. He was still trying to escape in front of him, and now he had successfully opened a short distance. The thin figure gradually disappeared from Curt's sight. It might take some time to catch up with him.
"Hey—wait! Mr. Leanster, Mr. Leanster—can you listen to me and finish…What else have you found? Hey! Mr. Leanster!"
The guard officer standing beside him had not yet reacted, so he could only take on the staff who were dirty with disgust. Curt, who was gradually running away, turned a deaf ear to the guard officer who wanted to chase him, gradually increasing the speed of running to shorten the distance between the boy in front.
There have been traces of pedestrians on the street. The residents with vegetables looked at the big and small running through the street like a gust of wind in surprise, and consciously made way for them. Ignoring things that have nothing to do with them is one of the guidelines for the actions of residents in slums.
"Kort, at the intersection in front, forced him to change his movements and induce him to turn to the left path." Liqi's voice sounded in Curt's head, "If there is no way, just block the road - the roads nearby are connected and will not affect the movement of residents."
It seems that Liqi has any plans. Her current request should be to contact Curt before she has made plans. However, her sudden request made Curt unable to think of a definite way to change the direction of the boy's actions. Even if she said that she would create roadblocks to block his way, it would not be possible in a short while.
I don’t know if something was heard of Li Qi’s plan in the dark, a team of police officers ran towards him from another intersection at the other end of the street. Seeing that they were all in a hurry, they might have found something nearby that they had to inform the investigation headquarters.
The boy didn't know why the oncoming guard came, but in order to avoid hitting them, he had to urgently change the trajectory of the escape. Although he responded in time, his steps stopped. Taking advantage of his momentary hesitation, Curt further shortened the distance.
The guards in a hurry looked at Curt and the boy who disappeared deep in the alley. Although they felt a little confused about their behavior, they finally decided to put work first. No one asked whether to chase after him to see what happened. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
