In an instant, all the police are shocked. This is the last answer they want to hear.
The captain kicks him to the ground. "You killed her? Where's the first crime scene?"
"We killed her in the poppy field. She is strangled to death, for she disobediently trampled a lot of
poppies down." The man does not feel regretful or fearful at all. Instead, his eyes are cold as he
speaks.
No matter how many times people meet his cold gaze, one will tremble with fear.
These criminals are a bunch of heartless bastards, who have lost their humanity.
"Where's the corpse?"
"It's been disposed of."
"How do you do it?"
"It's easy for us to do it. We won't allow you to find it, so we chopped her up and eaten her."
Rex listens to their conversation in the car. He looks so angry that the leader who follows him starts to
worry whether Rex will smash the car in the next second.
However, what the leader is worried about does not happen. Rex calmly unclenches his fists. "Where's
the gun?"
He wants a gun....
The leader immediately subconsciously extends to his waist and tightly holds his gun. "Mr. Rex, don't
worry. It's still too early to make a conclusion now...."
"Give it to me." It seems that he says through gritted teeth.
"I can't...."
Before the leader can finish, Rex suddenly pulls his arm away. The small black pistol is pulled out by
Rex. Rex then turns it over. With a murderous look, he appears to be full of bloodlust, as if he wants to
destroy everything. He is no longer that meticulous lawyer, as if he has changed into a different person.
"I'll return it to you when I'm done."
The leader frowns when he hears it. Seeing that Rex is about to get out of the car, the leader knows
that Rex will inevitably lead to serious consequences. Thus, he grabs Rex's clothes. "You can't go!"
Right now, it's uncertain whether Lily is alive or not, so Rex is on the verge of collapse. He intends to
give full vent to his anxiety when he hears that Lily has been killed.
No one can stop Rex if he wants to go. If something really happens to Lily, Rex isn't sure what he will
do.
Rex unceremoniously frees himself from the leader's hand with an angry look. "Get lost!"
When the leader's arm hits the back of the car, he is in pain. Before he can recover from the pain, he
immediately rushes over and tugs at the back of Rex's shirt. "Calm down, you must calm down. You
absolutely must not act recklessly at this time!"
Rex doesn't listen at all. His big hand holding the gun trembles. The veins on the side of his neck
protrudes out, like two scars on his body, which look scary. Right before Rex raises the gun, another
officer's excited voice comes from the monitor....
"Captain, we find a video tape in the room, but it is encrypted. We have to go back to the station to
decipher it."
The leader hurriedly nods, as if an amnesty were granted. "Do you hear that? A video has been found.
If your wife dies, how can they leave behind a video? She's definitely fine. Trust me...."
Rex pauses for a moment. He looks at the cold and hard pistol in his hand and then turns to look up at
the villa not far away. It was pitch black just now, but now it is brightly lit. Unfortunately, the woman who
should be rescued is missing.
Will she be on the tape?
Rex stiffens. Telling from his back, it can be told that Rex hesitates while bearing a lot of pressure.
"If you kill that criminal, there will be no clue left, and it will be even more difficult to find Lily. After
bringing those criminals back to the police station for interrogation, they will definitely confess! Keeping
them alive might even help us find Lily sooner!"
Rex puts down his gun. It is said that it's better to kill a hundred innocent people than let go of one
criminal. But now, the situation is beyond the control of Rex. He has the guts to kill those criminals, but
he is afraid that after it, he will completely lose touch with Lily.
Rex cannot venture. He had to be cautious. Even if those criminals collude with Hawk to hurt Lily, Rex
still cannot kill them.
Rex stares at the villa not far away. Lily was there a few days ago. Rex has come as soon as possible,
but he is still too late to get her out of here. Rex is afraid that he will never catch up to her again....
Seeing Rex gradually calms down, the leader feels relieved. Then he pats on Rex's shoulder
tentatively. "Mr. Rex, go back."
Rex sighs deeply and then gets into the car.
He has to return so as to get news of Lily.
...
When the group returns to the police station, the sky is beginning to brighten. The criminals have
already been taken into custody. The only thing the police need to do now is to crack the video tape.
After the object is handed over to the technician, the password is soon cracked. However, when they
see the video clearly, all are struck dumb.
It was filmed that night when Hawk brutally abused Lily. Despite of the poor definition of the image, two
overlapping figures can be clearly seen.
The entire video lasts for more than 20 minutes. Lily, who is nearly naked, is under Hawk. Hawk
obstructs their view of Lily. However, they can see distinctly Hawk punches Lily repeatedly.
There is no sound in the video, as if someone has purposely tampered it. Thus, the scene appears
even crueler.
"This..."
After the technician finishes watching, he immediately turns off the screen. As an outsider, he feels
uncomfortable, not to mention Lily's husband, Rex. Thinking of how Rex may react, he couldn't help but
shiver. "Shall I show it to Mr. Rex?"
The person in charge of the technical team wants to say no. But Rex is Lily's family, they have no right
to prevent him watching it. Moreover, Rex knows this video has been brought back.
It has to be given to Rex.
The policeman anxiously walks out with the video tape. The technicians look at each other. In less than
five minutes, the person who delivers the tape returns. The captain raises his chin at him and asks,
"Are you alright?"
Before the policeman can reply, deafening sounds come from the next room, as if something has been
violently shattered.
Everyone in the room holds their breaths and waits in their seats. The destructive movement continues
as long as the video lasts. It seems that the wall is shaking. The paper on the table is also moving up
and down.
The captain looks around with a frown. Then he waves his hand. "Continue to investigate. If we cannot
find the hostage, Rex will do something terrible."
