Chapter 56 Kidnapping Incident
The documents have been obtained and the flight tickets have been booked. After Amanda's repeated persuasion, Li Xiao finally agreed to go to the United States with her. The main reason is that many states in the United States prohibit guns. Buying bullets is like buying cabbage.
So I wanted to buy some and store them.
However, in order to prevent any accidents when flying, I also deliberately prepared a parachute. In case of any accident, I still have the opportunity to parachute to escape.
It's a pity that the few turbojets I ordered online have not arrived yet, so I deliberately logged in to the website to change the delivery address, but I was surprised to find that the items had arrived in Serre City and had been placed at a courier in the city.
Longer.
It just so happened that I received a call from the express delivery site at this time, asking me to pick up the goods...
"Amanda, I'm going to get a package and I'll be right back." She said and hurried out the door.
"We are about to leave soon. If it is not very important, why don't we leave it?"
"Those things are very valuable, so you can't lose them."
"...Then you go early and come back early. We will have to leave for the airport in three hours at most."
"I know, it'll be soon." He replied and got on his motorcycle and went out.
…
Standing at the door, Amanda watched Li Xiao leave, then went back to her room to continue packing her luggage. However, not long after, an SUV came outside, and a police officer she knew came to the door.
The visitor's name is Vasily. This man, together with another policeman, accompanied Amanda to the forest to investigate Xuelan...
"Hey, long time no see, Vasily." Seeing Vasily, Amanda also took the initiative to say hello.
"Long time no see, Dr. Amanda...are you ready to move?" Vasily asked knowingly.
"Yes, I signed a contract with Jing'an and will be leaving soon."
"Dr. Amanda, I have some very bad news that I must tell you."
"What?"
"There may be another mutated giant python nearby, which has caused several people to disappear. You are an expert in this field. I hope you can come with me to check and confirm the situation so that we can report it to the relevant departments."
"...Okay!" Amanda hesitated slightly and finally agreed.
Although there was no doubt about Vasily's identity, he still called Li Xiao when he returned to the room to get the equipment. However, Li Xiao, who was speeding on a heavy mountain motorcycle, did not hear the ringtone of his cell phone, so he sent a message.
After explaining the general situation in the text message, he got into Vasily's car and sped towards the scene of the incident.
…
On the other hand, Li Xiao drove his motorcycle to the city to pick up the express delivery. When he hurried back home, he found that Amanda was not at home.
Then she took out her cell phone and was about to call Amanda, only to find that she also received a text message from Amanda on her cell phone, saying that she and Officer Vasily were going to investigate the python.
This situation reminded Li Xiao of something. It seemed that in the original drama, there was indeed a police officer who had a deal with Murdoch.
When he was willing to accompany Amanda to investigate Bloodland, he took Murdoch's money and planned to find an opportunity to quietly kill Amanda, who was a nuisance, in an inaccessible place.
In the original drama, this guy would die in an accident. However, because of his appearance, the plot has completely changed. This guy should have successfully survived.
Thinking of this, I quickly called Amanda, but was unable to get through. I hurriedly left the house and searched around.
Fortunately, it had just rained in the morning, and the road was still a little muddy. I soon found some traces left by the off-road vehicle, and immediately rode a mountain bike to follow the traces.
…
On the other side, the off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road. After getting off the vehicle, the two of them walked towards the inaccessible mountain forest and walked for several miles.
"Where exactly did the incident happen?"
"Don't worry, it's just in front. You'll be there soon."
"Go faster, I'm still in a hurry." He said he quickened his pace, and Vasily could only speed up a bit.
After passing through a forest, they appeared on another path and found an off-road vehicle parked on the road, and three people got out of the vehicle, one of whom was his former employer Murdoch.
When Amanda saw this situation, she immediately realized that something was wrong. She prepared a gun, but Vasily's pistol was pressed against her back.
"I really didn't expect that you and them are actually in the same group."
"I'm sorry, it's just for survival." Vasily said calmly, and directly took the weapon from Amanda's hand.
"Murdoch, what do you want to do?"
"Then hand over your research materials, come back with me obediently, and only serve my company from now on."
"Since you are still alive and well, it means that your pharmaceutical company has made great progress in developing anti-cancer drugs. What else do you need my research results for?"
"The anti-cancer serum you developed was originally developed by my company with money invested in it. How dare you plagiarize my company's research results and transfer them to my competitors? You deserve to be damned."
"Nonsense, the formula of the new drug I developed is completely different from the anti-cancer drug you invested in. How come I plagiarized your technology?"
"Is it completely different? Just hand over the relevant information and I will take it back to the research department for analysis."
"What if I say no?"
"Then don't blame me, then take your technical achievements to see God, and Vasily kill her."
Murdoch didn't say much, and directly explained to Vasily, as if he didn't care about Amanda's research results at all. Of course, it might be to scare people.
Amanda also felt that the other party was just trying to scare people. If he really wanted to kill people and silence them, he would not come forward, and it was even less likely that he would bring others to leave evidence, so it was more likely that he just wanted to obtain information.
Li Xiao, who had just quietly followed up, didn't know this. When he saw the police officer raising his pistol and pointing it at Amanda's head from a distance, he immediately pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle without thinking.
From a distance of less than 200 meters, it easily hit Vasily's head. A pop was heard, and Vasily's head exploded instantly.
Several people at the scene of the sudden accident were startled. The first person to react was Amanda, who instantly rolled to the side. Murdoch's driver and bodyguard also reacted and pounced on Amanda instantly.
He took it for granted that as long as he caught Amanda, he could threaten the sniper hiding in the dark. However, the sniper hiding in the dark was much more powerful than he imagined. He was hit by a bullet as soon as he jumped out.
Head shot.
And Murdoch, who was slow to react, also reflected that if he did nothing, maybe Li Xiao would not shoot him. However, this guy also made the most unwise choice and actually pulled out a pistol.
Then, without exception, he was shot in the head again. Only his frightened female assistant, who squatted on the ground motionless with her head in her arms, successfully escaped Li Xiao's sniper kill.
If this person also had a gun, or was running away, of course he could be killed by shooting, but he didn't run away and didn't have a weapon. He was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and he really couldn't do it.
Amanda also held her head in her hands and did not try to get the gun or do any other radical actions. If the person who came was not Li Xiao, doing other actions would most likely cause misunderstanding.
Chapter completed!
