Chapter 195: A sudden ruse

Chi Lian tilted her head upward and looked at him, "You should call your police friends now. I heard a moan before you all arrived and I also saw a flash, the kind that goes off when someone is taking a picture. I think someone else figured out the killer’s identity before we did. " She said.

Of course she was lying but she knew that once Li Tao found out that there was someone being held captive in the cabin, he would call the police.

Li Tao’s small eyes widened, "Are you sure you heard someone in there?" he asked.

"Yes." She replied confidently, "There are a few small holes in the cabin, if you want you can peep inside and ascertain this for yourself. However, I am quite sure about what I heard. Hu Dieshang is holding someone in there."

She knew that after they rescued the victim, they would rush him or her to the hospital and then the police would get involved and the news would break. They might as well get the police involved now. She also didn’t want to be blamed in case things went sideways and the victim died before being rescued. She already got most of her pictures anyway.

Li Tao slowly stepped away from them and made a call. Then he returned and said, "The police is on their way but in the meantime, shouldn’t we do something to help the captive? We can’t let her kill someone else while we hide in these bushes."

"You are the police, you do something." Squirrel told him.

"I am a retired detective, remember?" Li Tao retorted. "Maybe if we all work together we can find a way of distracting her and rescuing the victim." He suggested.

Piggy and Squirrel looked at Birdie. When she nodded in agreement, Piggy asked, "What can we do?"

"Uhm...." the detective mumbled for a while, lost in thought. He had no clue as to what to do; all he knew was that they had to find a way to get Hu Dieshang to come out of the cabin. "Someone should come up with something because my mind is blank right now and we don’t have time to waste. She could be killing someone inside there right now while we squat and hide."

"Can one of us pretend to be injured and ask scream for help?" Squirrel asked nervously.

Piggy nodded and said, "It could work."

But Chi Lian was unsure. If that was the ruse Hu Dieshang was using to lure her victims, would she fall for it herself?

"Host, you underestimate the level of human curiosity. If you pretend to be the one seeking for help she is eighty percent most likely to come out to help or just to know what’s going on. From what we know, her family was harmed and she believes that she is seeking for justice by her actions, so it is not so offhanded to assume that she has the innate desire to protect a fellow woman being harmed."

Chi Lian reluctantly took T4’s advice and said, "I will do the screaming."

"Boss," Piggy called her unsurely. "This is the dangerous stage; you should leave the rest of this to us."

"No, she will be more likely to come out if a woman is in danger than a man. Come on Piggy, you are going to have to grab my hair and make it look like you are about to beat me to death. You should curse and swear like bad guys do." She instructed him. "You two." She looked at Squirrel and Li Tao, "Stay here, when she comes out, rush inside and close the door. You have to stay locked in there with her captive so that in case she realizes it’s a ruse, she can’t go back in there. Have you all understood the plan?" she asked.

"Yes boss." Squirrel and Piggy nodded reluctantly.

"Follow me." She called Piggy and stepped away from their hiding place to a distance about a minute away. Her desperate screams and hurried footsteps needed to come from far as she got nearer to the cabin. If she screamed from where she was, Hu Dieshang would know they were faking it.

Chi Lian wanted to laugh at herself in mockery. She was one of those people who always complained about the fact that villains would wait until the police got there to do the killing and that’s why they were always caught. She would always say, "Why do they rant and talk a lot instead of doing what they plan to do?"

Well today she was very grateful that the villain Hu Dieshang was ranting. It would give them time to rescue her captive. If all went well, the serial murders of the sleeping killer would be laid to rest today.

When they were at the distance she wanted, she looked at Piggy and said, "Punch me."

"What?" he asked in helpless confusion.

"Hurry up, punch me right here." She pointed to her cheek, close to her mouth.

"Host, what are you doing?" T4 inquired. "I thought you said pretend beating not a real life beating."

"It needs to look real for her to take a few steps away from the cabin." She answered. The cabin had some peep holes, when Hu Dieshang peeped outside, she needed to see an injured Chi Lian. It was the only way to sell the ruse.

"Then use fake blood, it will only cost you one point in the mall. Why are you so stingy?" he asked in a frustrated tone.

Chi Lian rolled her eyes. She wanted to say that this plan was sudden and unplanned, how could she have known in advance that she would need fake blood?

Before she could say it, she felt a heavy blow land on her face, causing her so much pain that she closed her eyes and cursed really loudly. Even her ears were ringing. Just how much force had he used?

"What the f**k?" she yelled. "That hurt, Piggy you bastard!!!!" she shouted as he walked around in a circle.

"Boss, boss, I am sorry. Are you hurt?" he kept trying to hold her still so that he could check on her.

"Of course I am hurt, what do you think?" she replied sarcastically. She had a cut in her inner cheek and there was a little bit of blood in the corner of her lips. But she could not blame him; she had asked him to do it. "It’s your turn," she said.

"Huh." He replied in confusion.

Her palm landed on his cheek abruptly, slapping him so hard that the palm print stayed on his pink cheek, making it red and swollen. This needed to look like a real fight.

"Host, she is holding the syringe." T4 warned her.

"Let’s go." She took off running and screaming in the direction of the cabin before Piggy could prepare himself. He was still massaging his cheek and looking at her aggrievedly.

"Help, help, someone help, he is going to kill me." She screamed. She was screaming her lungs out, as if her life depended on whoever would rescue her.

Piggy came after her, the sound of his rushed steps heavily falling on the ground. Squirrel that saw this from a distance was a little worried about Chi Lian. If he didn’t know that they were acting, he would be rushing out to rescue her.

Before she reached the cabin door, she disorganized her hair and squeezed out a fear tears. Then she banged on it while shouting for help.

"Please help, is someone in there?" she asked in desperation.

Piggy caught up to her and grabbed her hair around his hand, "You bitch, how dare you try to run away from me? I am going to kill you and bury you in this forest."

The two of them struggled at the door before Piggy pulled her away unwillingly. It seemed as if the ruse had not worked, Hu Dieshang had not come out.

"Boss now what?" Piggy asked, as they peeped at the cabin.

"I don’t know." She said with a sigh.

"Host, it worked." T4 informed her.

"Wait, keep pulling my hair and throw me down, then make it seem as if you are kicking me in the stomach with your back turned to the cabin."

The cabin door was slightly opened and Hu Dieshang tentatively stepped outside. She looked around like a thief before cautiously taking a few more steps forward. In her hands was a hammer which was tightly clenched.

T4 was right, she came out just as he predicted. As soon as she was far away enough from the cabin, Squirrel and Li Tao snuck into the cabin and shut the door.

T4 alerted her just as she swung the hammer to take down Piggy.

"Move." Chi Lian shouted at him.

He squatted down suddenly, leaving Hu Dieshang visible and Chi Lian stunned Hu Dieshang with her Taser.
