After the fierce fight, the two wounds began to hurt. One was in his armpit, and the wound was very deep. The other was in his ribs. Fortunately, his ribs blocked the attack, otherwise, his heart would have been hurt.
He tore a few pieces of cloth from his clothes and wrapped them around his wounds. He limped to the side of the tricycle and opened the box. There was a little girl curled up in the box. She was about 14 or 15 years old. Her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and her hands and feet were tied with rope. Her big eyes were looking at him in horror.
Luo Kai helped her untie the rope, pulled the rag from her mouth, and asked, "What's your name? Where do you live?
Are these people human traffickers? "
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't say a word.
Luo Kai patiently asked again, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. Tell me where your home is, and I'll take you back."
The girl still didn't say a word.
Luo Kai helplessly scratched his head. He was going to fix the tricycle first. The chain had fallen off during the fight just now.
At this time, a unique roar of a steam engine suddenly came from the distance. A steam truck with a torch was approaching from afar.
Luo Kai's heart tightened. This time he killed three people. Even if they deserved it, he was afraid that he wouldn't end well. He hurriedly carried the girl and rushed into the weeds on the side of the road.
The steam truck was very fast. It didn't take long for it to arrive at the scene. A row of soldiers with guns came down from the truck and surrounded the scene. A middle-aged man with a scar on his forehead looked around coldly, and then carefully examined the three corpses. He said in a deep voice, "There are traces of a struggle at the scene. The other party seems to be alone. Judging from the bullet holes on the corpses, they should have been killed with a pocket-sized pistol."
A young man in his twenties next to him was flustered and exasperated. He shouted, "What are you doing? If that girl escapes, I'll be in trouble!"
"Don't worry, young master. The body's residual temperature is very high. They should have just died. The other party hasn't run far. Brothers, look around."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately spread out their palm-leaf fans and searched in all directions.
Luo Kai was hiding in the grass. He was a little annoyed. These people seemed to be here to pick up the horse-faced man. They were all dressed in the same uniform and looked like wolves and tigers. It seemed that it was not as simple as a kidnapping.
He hated trouble the most, so why did he have to encounter such an unlucky thing? He glanced at the girl in his arms, and the girl's eyes with long eyelashes were also looking at him. Her eyes were filled with pleading. He sighed inwardly and whispered, "I'll carry you on my back. Remember to hug me tightly!"
"There are bloodstains here!" A shout was heard.
Luo Kai hurriedly threw the girl on his back. He reluctantly looked at his broken tricycle and then ran away.
The night was his best cover, but the pursuers didn't have the ability to see in the dark. After a while, Luo Kai shook them off and disappeared into the wilderness with the girl on his back.
The girl was very light, about eighty pounds. It was not a burden. The troublesome thing was that Luo Kai's body couldn't take it anymore. His wound was not treated, and he had lost too much blood. He was tired and hungry. He clenched his teeth. About two hours later, Longyang City appeared in front of him.
Stopping at the bottom of a small hill, Luo Laikai hid in a leeward position to treat his wound. The girl looked at him timidly and didn't say anything.
He simply tied a few strips of cloth on the wound and asked the girl, "Little girl, you have to tell me where your home is. I'll send you back at dawn."
The girl bit her thin lips and pointed at Longyang City in the distance. Her voice was soft, "There."
Luo Kai helplessly said, "I know. I mean, where is the specific location?"
This time, the girl didn't say anything. She tightly pursed her lips, and there were tears in her eyes.
It was really worrying. Luo Kai was a little angry. He couldn't afford to raise a living person.
"How about this, we'll report it to the authorities. Your family must be very worried when they know that you're missing. Maybe they've already reported it to the authorities."
The girl hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
At this time, the sky was already white. Looking at the girl's slender body shivering in the cold wind, Luo Kai threw the coat he was wearing to her. "Have a good rest. We'll report it at dawn. But don't say that I killed someone. Just say that I picked you up on the side of the road."
This kind of case was under the jurisdiction of the Security Division. After dawn, Luo Kai took the girl in a big circle into the city. The group of people last night might have a powerful background. He had to find a bigger official organization to be at ease. In the end, he chose the Security Division's East City Branch.
The Security Division's East City Branch was a large courtyard that occupied dozens of acres. There were two two-story buildings and a large training ground.
The two of them were stopped by the guards at the entrance. After explaining their purpose, the guards waved their hands and chased them away. It turned out that this place wasn't responsible for missing persons. They only took in major public security cases.
Luo Kai could only point to the girl and say, "A kidnapping case isn't a major case. This little girl was probably kidnapped by human traffickers. Her parents must be very worried."
After registering their names and addresses, the guards let them in. When they walked into the hall, a young man in his twenties saw the girl and his face suddenly changed. He walked forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
Luo Kai repeated the purpose of their visit. The young man nodded and led them to a small room. He said that someone would come to receive them later and then left.
Ten minutes later, Luo Kai became anxious. He walked to the door and found that it was locked. He was a little confused. Why did they treat him like a criminal?
Another ten minutes later, the roar of an engine came from the courtyard. A steam truck drove into the courtyard. Luo Kai walked to the window and looked. A middle-aged man got out of the truck. The scar on his forehead was very eye-catching. His face immediately changed. "Oh no, we've entered a thief's lair!"
After the middle-aged man got out of the truck, he walked quickly to the house. After a while, there was a burst of dense footsteps in the corridor.
The girl also panicked. She pointed to the window and signaled to jump out.
This was the second floor. There was a steel bar outside the window. Luo Kai took a few steps back. He took a deep breath and suddenly rushed forward. He punched the iron window. With a bang, the whole window was blown out.
About five or six meters from the ground, Luo Kai grabbed the girl's waist and jumped down. After landing, he squatted down slightly to reduce the force. He endured the pain on his feet and rushed to the door.
The guard saw them in a panic and was a little surprised. "Finished so quickly?"
Hearing the chaotic shouting behind him, Luo Kai didn't have time to answer him. He rushed out of the door.
"Stop them!"
Seeing the captain, who rarely appeared, shouting angrily, the guard reacted. When he went out, the two people were already gone.
… …
The girl's dirty little hands tugged at the corner of Luo Kai's clothes. The two of them walked around the street aimlessly. They were both tired and hungry, and urgently needed to find a place to rest.
Luo Kai was in a dilemma. It seemed that he was in big trouble. This little girl was definitely not an ordinary person. However, no matter how he asked, she didn't say a word.
There was no place to go now. He definitely couldn't go back to the rented house because he had just registered his address with the guard. It didn't matter if he was alone, but there was no place for the little girl.
As he walked, Luo Kai suddenly slapped his head. He thought of a place. When he first came to this city, he also didn't have a place to stay. He lived in a culvert under a bridge for a while. Now, it seemed that he could only go there.
He touched his pocket. He still had more than a hundred star dollars. He bought some steamed buns and drinking water and led the little girl out of the city.
