Chapter 7: Being Chased to Death
I slowly crawled towards the police station. When I arrived at the police station, I found that some rooms still had their lights on, so there should be someone on duty.
I sneaked in quietly and could only climb in from the windows behind those rooms, because there were cameras at the front, I didn't want to be photographed by them.
But in this way, I can only find one by one. What I want to check now is the license plate information of that person. It's estimated that only the archives room can be found.
I avoided rooms with people in them and after searching for a while, I finally found the archive room. I climbed onto the table and saw that there was a file folder placed on top of it.
I used my tail to push it open, searched for a while, and finally saw some useful information on it: Xing Yongding, male, 22 years old, the perpetrator of this car accident.
As I saw this, my heart skipped a beat. I had a premonition that the perpetrator was definitely the same person who killed me last time, but there was no license plate number on top and I wasn't quite sure.
At this time I looked at the computer on the table and then used my tail to press the power button, soon the computer was turned on, fortunately, there was no password set on it.
Maybe these police thought it was impossible for someone to dare run into the police station to steal data, so they didn't even set a password on the computer. After the computer was fully booted up, I found their database.
Then I opened the license plate number that remembered me and entered it, and immediately displayed Xing Yongding's name on top, which was exactly the same as the information on the notebook earlier, and also had the familiar license plate number.
Breathing a bit urgently at this point, no mistake, he is my archenemy, Xing Yongding, I remember this name now, but it also confirms one thing.
They already knew who the murderer was, but they didn't go to catch him. What else can this explain? Xing Yongding is absolutely a person they cannot afford to offend.
Fine, since you're all covering for him, I'll take care of him myself. Thinking this, a strong sense of hatred flashed in my eyes.
The tail swept fiercely, accidentally sweeping a ashtray on the table to the ground, making a "bang!" sound, and I was startled.
However, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and soon someone pushed open the door of this data room. The person immediately turned on the light switch, saw me, and was clearly stunned for a moment, then he also let out a sigh of relief.
Maybe he just thought there was a thief sneaking in to steal information, so he got nervous for a moment, but after seeing it was a snake, he felt it was nothing.
I wasn't going to bother with him either, just as I was about to climb out the window, another person suddenly appeared at the door. When he saw me, he too was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly at the previous person: "Damn it! Old Zhang, quickly catch that snake!"
Old Zhang who just came in didn't understand what this man meant after listening to his words, why did he want to catch the snake? Moreover, that person looked quite nervous.
That man saw Old Zhang still stunned and shouted: "Old Zhang, what are you still stunned for? Quickly catch it, don't let it run away!"
Old Zhang finally reacted, didn't ask why, and the two of them picked up the stool next to them and rushed towards me. I didn't want any trouble, after all this was a police station, so I quickly dodged, climbed out the window and escaped.
But they wouldn't let me go, running out of the room and around to the back of the window, and even calling two other colleagues on duty at the police station. The four of them were carrying electric batons and two tranquilizer guns, chasing after me.
This is a big city too. Although it's nighttime, the outside is brightly lit at this moment. The four of them are closely following behind me.
At this time, Old Zhang was still asking: "I'm saying, Little Huang, why must you chase after this snake? Does it have a grudge against you?"
The one called Xiaohuang said: "Old Zhang, do you still remember what the Xing family people told us when they left just now?"
Old Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then said: "You mean... this snake is the one that informed the Ji family and injured the Xing family at night?"
Xiao Huang nodded and said while running: "Not bad, according to the description of the Xing family members, this snake looks like the one they mentioned."
"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, Old Zhang took a deep breath and said: "I say, this is too bizarre! No wonder the snake came to the police station to investigate!"
Xiao Huang said: "It's very likely that this thing is believable. Didn't you see that the computer in the data room was turned on just now? Who do you think opened it?"
Old Zhang's hairs on the back of his neck stood up when he heard this. He never thought that a snake could be so mysterious, not only could it inform and report, but also run to the police station to open the computer and check data.
At this time, Little Huang suddenly said: "No good, hurry up and chase it. The direction it's running is towards the suburbs. If we let it run to the suburbs, we won't be able to catch it!"
Xiao Huang is right, I just want to run to the suburbs, because it's not like in the city, where there are buildings everywhere and it's hard to hide. But the suburbs are different, there's grass and forests, as long as you drill inside, they won't be able to find you even if they want to.
It's not that I don't want to fight them, but they're now armed with stun guns and tranquilizers. I dare not take the risk. Those two things are both deadly, one for long-range attacks and the other for close combat, a double threat. If I get caught by them, I'll be in big trouble.
They got into a police car, drove wildly behind me, and chased after me. I was anxious to get into the residential building, but everyone had closed their doors and windows, and I really couldn't get in. The other manholes were also covered with lids.
I had to hide in the green belt by the side of the road, so they couldn't aim at me with their anesthetic guns as they drove by. At this point, I only felt dry mouth and tongue, a heat that was constantly surging inside my body, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
I'm getting anxious now, if I keep running like this, I'll be blown up by this heat, but I don't dare to stop either.
"Hiss!" I ran while spitting out letters, I'm about to die of heat, what to do, what to do?
When I ran to the edge of the city, I suddenly saw a lake, and my eyes lit up: "I'm saved!"
The lake is called Tian Gong Lake, and it's the most famous scenic spot in our city. It's said to have existed for a long time, but I don't know how it came into being. At that time, I didn't pay attention to it either, but now it has become my lifesaver.
At this time I didn't hesitate at all and rushed into the lake "Whoosh!"
I let out a long sigh of relief, while the four policemen above saw me dive into the lake. Little Huang hastily said: "We're in trouble, this snake has dived into the lake, what do we do now?"
Old Zhang said: "There's no way, this lake is so big, who knows where it will swim up to and then sneak away?"
"It's nothing, I was going to make a good deed, but now it seems we should report to the higher-ups first and see how they handle it. Let's go back!" Little Huang cursed and then drove back to the police station.
But I was in the depths of the lake, releasing the heat from just now. With the help of the lake water, the heat gradually dissipated, and I felt much more comfortable.
This is my first time swimming in the water after turning into a snake, and I still feel a bit unaccustomed to it. However, it's also quite novel, like a fish, darting back and forth. Seeing a palm-sized fish in front of me, my curiosity was piqued, and I immediately rushed up, wanting to catch it.
But what disappointed me was that this fish was much more agile than I was, and I couldn't catch it at all. It suddenly disappeared in front of me because my visibility underwater was too low. I don't know if it's due to not adapting, but currently, I can only see about two meters away.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly a black shadow swam past in front of me, and when I took a closer look, it turned out to be a turtle about 50 centimeters in diameter.
I was overjoyed and immediately chased after it, because this turtle has lived for at least a hundred years, if I can eat its meat, it will definitely be very nourishing.
However, this turtle, although it crawls very slowly on land, is very fast in the water. Although it can't compare to the speed of that fish just now, it's still much faster than me.
But I didn't give up, and kept following behind it. The turtle seemed to be unaware of me, and continued swimming forward at that speed.
It had been a long time, it swam to the deep bottom of the lake, and then stopped. I was overjoyed, hiding quietly behind it, taking advantage of its inattention, I rushed up and bit its head.
Its head is quite big, as thick as an adult's arm, I took a bite, just right, and the turtle was suddenly ambushed by me, wanting to struggle free.
But I didn't let go, instead using my snake body to wrap around it tightly, making it impossible for it to move. Although it had lived for so many years, its strength and vitality were not to be underestimated. It used its claws to scratch me all over, but the more pain I felt, the tighter I wrapped myself around it. I just wouldn't let go.
