Chapter 86: Hunting Killer? Xia Tian and Qiao Xiaoqiao were strolling hand in hand within the Jianghai University campus. They didn't go to Xiang Xiang Flower Shop because they weren't there to find Sun Xiang Xiang in the first place.
In the summer, Xia Tian believed that the killer of the dark shadow group was still looking for an opportunity to assassinate Qiao Xiaoqiao. If Qiao Xiaoqiao stayed in the Qiao Corporation building all the time, this opportunity would not be so easy to appear, so he simply took Qiao Xiaoqiao out and gave the killer a chance.
The streets are crowded and not suitable for assassination, so he came to Jianghai University. The school is very quiet during the holidays, even if someone fires a gun, it will only startle a few people.
In short, summer has provided all the convenient conditions for the killer, and now it's just waiting for the killer to come.
"Husband, why hasn't that killer appeared yet?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked softly. She naturally understood Xia Tian's true intentions and, out of trust in him, was willing to act as the bait.
"Don't worry, he'll definitely show up." Xia Tian was full of confidence. Every assassin would investigate their target's background information after confirming their target. The Dark Shadow Team had a group of people specializing in gathering intelligence, and they must have also collected Xiao Qiao's information. But Xia Tian believed that even if the information was detailed, it wouldn't be possible for them to have his information. Therefore, in the eyes of the assassin, he would likely just seem like an ordinary person.
Qiao Xiaoqiao was strolling around the school with an ordinary person, without any bodyguards nearby. Although this situation didn't make sense, as a hitman, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He was certain that the hitman would appear, it was just a matter of when.
After strolling around for a while, the two of them arrived at the playground. Compared to other places, the playground was relatively lively, with some people playing soccer and another guy jogging. It's hard to tell if he's a professional athlete or not, considering how hot it is today.
The two of them were walking slowly on the track, and didn't attract much attention. Although Qiao Xiaoqiao was a celebrity, not everyone recognized her. Moreover, in the past, Qiao Xiaoqiao always had two eye-catching female bodyguards by her side. Now, however, she was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, just like Xia Tian. The two of them looked just like an ordinary student couple, so naturally no one thought that this beautiful girl was the famous Qiao Xiaoqiao.
In the summer, he thought this was a good place, with many people, and it was easy for assassins to blend in, but the whole area was very open, so shooting wouldn't be affected. Therefore, he simply took Jojo's hand and walked slowly around the track, circling round and round.
"Husband, take a break." Qiao Xiaoqiao's body wasn't in great shape, and she wasn't the athletic type of girl. After walking for so long, she naturally felt a bit tired, so she pulled Xia Tian to sit down with her on the viewing platform.
During their stroll, another group of people came in to play soccer, ten people, divided into two teams, wearing different jerseys, it was the legendary El Clásico, Real Madrid vs Barcelona.
It's just a pity that this group of people is far from the real Madrid and Barcelona, with chaotic and lawless footwork, every move is a big foot, kicking the ball into the sky.
"How disgusting!" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but despise these people too.
It is said that scolding people behind their backs will have repercussions, and if you want to scold someone, you should do it face-to-face. Just then, Qiao Xiaoqiao had just looked down on that fake Real Madrid Barcelona player, when a certain Real Madrid player suddenly kicked the football with all his might, and it flew straight at Qiao Xiaoqiao.
But Xia Tian didn't go to catch the ball, because he knew it was impossible for Qiao Xiaoqiao to hit it. Instead, Qiao Xiaoqiao was startled and pounced onto Xia Tian's body.
This kick was quite powerful, the football flew over Qiao Xiaoqiao's head, then suddenly dropped and fell behind Qiao Xiaoqiao, rolling down.
Qiao Xiaoqiao stretched out her hand and caught the ball in it.
"Beautiful lady, sorry about that!" A tall and sturdy guy ran over, who was the one who kicked the ball flying just now, "Trouble you to throw the ball back to me, thanks!"
Qiao Xiaoqiao hugged the football with both hands and threw it down with force, but unfortunately her strength was too small, and she didn't throw it far. The guy took a step back and then stretched out his hand to catch the ball.
At the moment he caught the ball, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he became extremely cold-blooded. Suddenly, a handgun appeared in his hand.
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out suddenly.
"Ah……" Qiao Xiaoqiao let out a low, tender cry, although she was actually waiting for the assassin to appear, but still didn't expect that the assassin would be this guy who was playing soccer. This person looked like he wasn't even twenty years old, and appeared to be just an ordinary sunny youth, completely unable to be linked with that cold-blooded assassin.
At the moment the gun went off, a hint of triumph appeared on the killer's cold face, and there was also a hint of cruelty in his eyes, because he knew that at such close range, no one could dodge the bullet. A few hours ago, someone had taken the bullet for her, but now, no one could save her!
But in the next second, the smugness on his face was swept away, replaced by a look of astonishment. He hadn't heard the target's blood-curdling scream, nor had he seen her chest burst forth with a brilliant flower of blood. In fact, he hadn't seen anything at all, because the target had vanished from his line of sight.
A dangerous aura suddenly came from behind, the vigilance that had been cultivated for many years made him subconsciously want to dodge, but his body hadn't reacted yet, and he only felt a severe pain coming from the back of his head, then everything went black, and he fainted.
The people playing on the playground, however, were already stunned by the gunshot. It wasn't until the killer fell to the ground and they saw the handgun in his hand that they realized this was not a dream, but an actual shooting incident.
"Murder! Run for your lives!" someone shouted, and the people on the playground immediately scattered in all directions. In an instant, they had all become sprinters, vanishing from sight in the summer haze.
In the summer, he put away the killer's gun and poked him a few times with two fingers to make sure this guy wouldn't wake up for a while.
"Wife, do you know where there's a suitable place for ancestor worship?" Xia Tian asked casually.
"I'll call Big Brother, I reckon he has someone waiting around here, just let him arrange a place." Qiao Xiaoqiao said as she took out her phone and dialed Qiao Donghai's number.
"Big brother, let's wait for three minutes." A moment later, Qiao Xiaoqiao hung up the phone and said to Xia Tian, apparently her judgment was correct. Although Qiao Donghai didn't have someone closely following them, he still had people waiting nearby.
"Hmm, they should be faster than the police." Xia Tian was quite satisfied with this speed. He didn't want the killer to be caught by the police, he wanted to interrogate him personally. Once at the police station, Officer Li would probably not let him interfere again.
However, Xia Tian soon found himself miscalculating, and in just one minute, a police officer came running towards him.
"What's going on?" The police officer came up to the two of them, his face tense with worry, and asked, "I'm the duty policeman from Jianghai University Police Station. I heard there was a gunshot over here, is that true?"
"I don't know." Qiao Xiaoqiao looked innocent, "Officer, my boyfriend and I just came here for a walk, we didn't see anything, only saw this person unconscious here, what happened?"
"Is that so?" The policeman looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao, then at Xia Tian, with a suspicious expression, "Was it you two who shot and injured this person?"
"Of course not, officer. We're just students here." Qiao Xiaoqiao hastily explained, stalling for time until her brother's people arrived, and the police would naturally have someone to take care of things.
"A student? I don't think so!" The policeman snorted and suddenly reached for his waist, ready to draw his gun.
"Husband, he is not a police officer!" Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly shouted.
A cold glint flashed in the policeman's eyes, and he drew his gun and fired.
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out.
"Ahh..." A miserable cry rang out, coming from the policeman's mouth. Meanwhile, Xia Tian's hand had already grasped a gun, which was the spoils of war he had seized from the previous policeman. This gunshot happened to hit the policeman's right hand, which was holding a gun.
The police officer covered his bloody right hand, but did not escape. Instead, he pulled out a sharp knife with his left hand and rushed towards Xia Tian.
"Bang! Bang!" Two more shots rang out. The fake police assassin was shot in both legs and immediately fell to his knees, collapsing to the ground.
In the summer, with a flick of his hand, the gun flew out and hit that fake policeman's head right on target. A dull hum was heard, and this killer also fell to the ground, just like the first one, unconscious.
"Want to play with guns, don't you know my Third Master is a god of guns?" Xia Tian looked at the guy on the ground with some disdain, his hand holding a silver needle that he used to stop the bleeding by stabbing him a few times. He still wanted to interrogate this guy, couldn't let him die from blood loss just like that.
"Husband, so you knew he wasn't a police officer all along?" Qiao Xiaoqiao finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I can sense the killing intent on him." Xia Tian said lazily, "If all of Dark Shadow Troop are like this, then there's nothing to worry about."
After a pause, Xia Tian couldn't help but ask: "Wife, how did you know he wasn't a cop?"
"Oh, I know the police officer on duty at Jianghai University Police Station is unarmed." Qiao Xiaoju replied.
Summer was stunned, the reason was far beyond his imagination, he had no idea what kind of police were in the security room of Jianghai University, and naturally didn't know if they were armed.
"Miss Qiao!" A voice came from not far away, and seven or eight big men rushed over, obviously the bodyguards sent by Qiao Donghai.
They arrived faster than expected, and in just over two minutes, they appeared in front of Qiao Xiaoqiao.
"Hurry up and take them away!" Qiao Xiaoqiao waved her hand, "My husband wants to interrogate them personally, you arrange a place."
"Yes, Miss Qiao." One of them responded and waved his hand. The four men lifted the two killers and rushed away. A van and a sedan were waiting on the road. Less than a minute later, the cars had already driven out of Jianghai University. A few minutes later, when the police arrived, they found that the playground was empty.
