Chapter 852 - 373 No. 2_2
They searched the area but found nothing; after reporting via phone, they quickly evacuated from the main entrance and left using the elevator without ever suspecting the neighbor’s home. It never occurred to them that Blood Meng, being a police officer, would kill an innocent person in order to secure a safe haven.
"Make it fast, wait here for me." Knowing the danger was imminent, Blood Meng immediately went downstairs using the neighbor’s balcony fire escape, avoiding dim lights, and walked in the darkness. Reaching the alley, he waited a moment and then hailed a passing motorcycle, asked for directions, and stashed his cellphone inside the motorcycle.
Back at the neighbor’s home, Blood Meng leaned against the bedroom window to observe the situation outside: "Hopefully, this will buy us enough time."
Lin Wu, "They already suspect you."
Blood Meng said, "It’s only suspicion. They don’t think I’m harboring you but suspect I want to embezzle the gold. Initially, I thought they would not alert the prey and would confront me tomorrow during the day using my work to their advantage. I didn’t expect them to send someone directly to my door."
Lin Wu said, "The people who entered your house probably weren’t Bodde’s men, but rather those lured by Bodde’s bounty."
"I think so too," Blood Meng replied, "Rest well. I’ve made arrangements; we won’t be taken by surprise."
However, Lin Wu was not sleepy. After Blood Meng entered the bedroom, he began to rummage through the cabinets—he couldn’t meet everyone empty-handed.
