Chapter 89 Searching in the Mountain (Part 2)
In fact, after Rosalind led everyone along the forest path for 40 minutes, everyone became unhappy.
The mist in the mountains has long since dissipated, the sunshine has become extremely strong, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, but she always has a relaxed smile on her face.
Lucy complained to Tim in a low voice: "I think she is playing tricks on us. Maybe she just wants us to accompany her on an outing."
Tim agreed, "Yes, it's her plan to trick the LAPD around and manipulate it into the palm of her hand."
Sean Delmont looked upright and solemn: "As long as we can recover the remains of our loved ones for three families, there is no harm in letting her enjoy it."
"Then your distinguished assistant prosecutor will be able to appear on your evening news?"
Jack, who was more than ten steps behind them, joked to Tyler Kelly in a low voice.
Tyler Kelly's breathing was a little rapid, there was a layer of dense sweat on his face, and there was a layer of blush on his cheeks, making him look particularly delicate, "Everyone gets what he needs, right?"
"Take a rest, we still have a long way to go." Rosalind stopped in a small clearing.
Superintendent Gray picked up the walkie-talkie: "Rest where you are, all personnel will not move forward."
Jack took out two bottles of mineral water from his backpack, threw them to Tyler Kelly and the cameraman, and opened one himself and took a few sips.
John also took off his backpack and took out mineral water. Rosalind raised her hands, which were handcuffed behind her back, and motioned for John to feed her.
Just when John was a little at a loss, Nila on the side rolled her eyes and took the mineral water in his hand.
At this time, Jack's keen sense made him aware of unusual movements around him, and asked Superintendent Gray loudly: "Are there any other personnel deployed outside our perimeter besides SWAT?"
Superintendent Gray had just finished drinking a whole bottle of water and was a little confused when he heard this: "No, what did you find?"
Jack's sharp eyes passed through the woods, and there was a vague figure twenty or thirty meters away: "There seems to be someone over there, but he looks like he is wearing casual clothes."
Everyone looked in the direction of Jack's finger in confusion. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and a bullet flew over Rosalind's head.
John threw her down, and the others looked for cover. Only Sean Delmont, who had never experienced a gunfight, stood there in a daze.
Almost as soon as the shot rang out, Jack grabbed Taylor Kelly's arm and dragged her behind a thick tree stump, beckoning her cameraman to get down.
"Stay here and don't move."
Before he finished speaking, there was another gunshot, and the bullet hit a tree trunk next to Delmont. The flying fragments caused him to let out a cry of pain and fall to the ground.
"Ah, I've been shot, help me!"
The police officers ignored him, looked for cover, and fired back.
"Just wait!"
Jack warned Tyler Kelly again, raised his head to greet Tim, and made a gesture to flank him from both sides.
Angela's pregnancy was still hidden from everyone, and now the one who had the most tacit understanding with him was Tim, who had fought alongside him.
Tim nodded to express his understanding, then bent down and disappeared to the left side of the woods. Jack went into the woods on the right side, facing Angela, pointing two fingers to his eyes, and then pointed to the direction where Tim disappeared. Angela nodded knowingly. .
Jack and Tim quickly surrounded the gunman, who was a middle-aged black man holding a carbine. He was nervously hiding behind a big tree to change the magazine, and did not notice anyone coming behind him.
"Put down the gun, put the gun on the ground, give up resistance!"
Jack and Tim yelled at the same time, and the police officers in front of the gunman heard the sound and stopped firing to avoid accidental injuries.
"Hands on your head, fingers crossed, you're under arrest."
Tim held the gun and stayed still. Jack put away the Glock, took out the handcuffs and cuffed the middle-aged black man who was kneeling on the ground.
"Is there anyone else besides you?"
The cuffed black man calmed down, with a hint of despair in his tone.
"No, it's just me."
Lucy stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground, and asked stupidly: "Are you here to save Rosalind?"
The middle-aged black man sneered: "Save her? I came to kill her. She murdered my wife!"

Dividing line---
In the forest clearing, Zoe jumped out of the car before the police car stopped and walked quickly towards everyone.
"What happened?"
Hondo, the captain of the SWAT team, looked a little unhappy: "Some guy built a camouflage net to hide from the sight of my team members."
Rossi pointed at the middle-aged black man who was being escorted into the police car, "His name is Peter. The third victim Rosalind killed was his wife. The police have only found half of her body so far."
John on the side murmured to himself: "First the family lost its mistress, and now the man is behind bars."
Tyler Kelly used the connection between the interview car and the camera to finish the live broadcast. He stood aside obediently and said nothing, looking at Zoe without blinking.
Jack glanced at her and asked Rosie in a low voice: "Do you think Rosalind arranged all this?"
Rossi looked up at the crazy old woman who was being re-entered into the armored vehicle, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you notice the look in her eyes just now? She was enjoying all this. The location where you were attacked was definitely leaked by Rosalind's accomplices. For Peter."
"She is a madman. If that Peter's shooting skills were better, she would be dead by now." John found it difficult to understand.
Jack felt that he had underestimated this woman before: "Maybe Peter was selected precisely because someone investigated his lack of shooting experience."
At this time Superintendent Gray and Delmonte, who had a bandage on his head, came over.
"Maybe we should call it a day." Superintendent Gray suggested to Zoe.
"No way!" Delmont objected immediately.
"Listen to me, Superintendent Anderson, if you stop it now, next week, or maybe next month, this kind of operation will have to happen again. By then, the scene will be at least twice as big as it is now, and there will be countless media reporters. This place is completely surrounded."
Zoe rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and had to admit that what this guy said made sense.
"Then go ahead, everyone, be careful, and I'll find a way to send in more police."
It was already noon, everyone had a little something to eat and prepared to continue setting off.
Seeing that Rosie had followed him this time, Jack was a little surprised and looked down at the expensive leather shoes on his feet.
"Let's make a bet. In less than fifteen minutes this time, Rosalind can lead us to the place where the body is buried." Rosie shrugged.
Everyone continued to walk through the forest, Rosalind chattering and trying to talk to John.
"Well, I've been thinking that you saved my life just now, and I haven't thanked you yet. I almost peeled off the face of Peter's wife. I'm so vicious, but you are still willing to protect me. Why?"
This time, even the good old man no longer concealed his disgust: "It's my duty, I'm just doing my job, not because this person is you or someone else."
