Chapter 17 16

She saw her husband crying. He shed tears of remorse, sorry that he had to end the marriage. end this marriage. It's like taking out the trash. Like taking a dog for a walk. This is a fucking marriage!Not ordinary life chores. But Roy didn't think so.Roy just wanted a pudgy security analyst assistant to replace her, and that was the thing.Another gust of choking muddy water rushed into her nostrils. Air, air, air give me air! At this time, Joely.Marston saw her father and mother.It was a Christmas day decades ago, and they put on a show to roll out the bicycle that Santa Claus had brought her from the North Pole.Look darling, santa has his pink helmet ready to protect your little head

ah Jolly was hoisted from the dirty pond, out of the opaque, greasy water.Her whole body was tightly bound by iron chains, her head was down, and she kept coughing and choking.She was hung upside down on a crane protruding from the pond, and her body kept turning slowly. She felt her head pounding, and the blood rushed straight to her forehead.Stop, stop, stop!She screamed silently.How is this going?She remembers Downey Jr. standing up in shock and someone showing up to help, a nice guy, and she remembers drinking coffee in the Greek restaurant, talking, talking about yachts, and then the world fell apart amid dizzy, dumb laughter.

Then there are the chains.And horrible pool water. At this moment, the man was looking at her face with pleasure and curiosity, as if she was dead. She didn't understand how he could treat her in this way.A man who is so gentle with horses can be so cruel to her.Did you forget it?It's me!We know about each other, we are both divorced, childless, horses, cats and yachts we are literally soul mates!But inertia dragged her to turn slowly, and now she saw the long row of upside-down New Jersey cityscape across the Hudson River, and he could no longer see her pleading eyes. She spun back slowly, and again saw the briars by the pond, the lilies, and the man.

He looked down at her, nodded, and lowered the rope again, sinking her into the disgusting pool again. Qiao Li arched her body and bent down hard, desperately trying not to touch the water surface, as if it was a pot of boiling hot water.But the weight of her body, the weight of the chains, pulled her down into the water.She held her breath, trembling all over, shaking her head violently, trying in vain to break free from the inseparable metal chain.She saw the brown-green pool water, and saw particles and bugs suspended in the water. Then Jolie's husband reappeared.He was right there in front of her, explaining to her, explaining why divorce was the best option for her.Roy raised his head, wiped the crocodile tears from his face, and said that divorce is nothing, only in this way can she be truly happy.Look, here's a gift for her.He opened a door, and behind it was a brand new Swain bicycle with ribbons on the handlebars, two small training wheels on the back, and a pink helmet to protect her head.

Joely gave up.You win, you win.Take that damn yacht, take that damn girlfriend of yours, just leave me alone and keep me at peace.She took a deep breath through her nose to let the comforting effect of death enter her lungs. over there!Emilia.Sachs yelled. She and Bell sprinted across the pedestrian walkway toward the thick bushes and bushes that lined the Hudson River.Apparently it was a small pier many years ago, but today the channel to the big river has silted up, forming a pond overgrown with rubbish and fetid stagnant water. A man was standing on the dilapidated pier by the pond.He is wearing denim trousers and a white shirt and holds a rope in his hand.The rope was suspended from a rusty crane with the other end submerged in the water.

Hey, cried Bell: You! The man's hair was brown, that's right, but his clothes were different, and he didn't have a beard.Also, his brows don't look very thick either.Sachs couldn't see his left hand, couldn't tell if his fingers were misshapenly glued together. But what does this mean? A sorcerer may be a man or a woman. Hexers may be invisible. The man looked relieved as they ran to the pier.come here quickly!He yelled, come and help!come here!There is a woman in the water! Kara wasn't with them at the moment, and Bell and Sachs told her to wait by the overpass before they rushed into the bushes that surrounded the dark pond.Don't trust him.Sachs whispered to Bell as he ran.

I thought the same, Emilia. The man pulled hard on the rope, first showing a pair of feet in the water, then the whole brown trousers, and then pulled up the body of an unconscious woman.Sachs saw that she was bound from top to bottom with chains.Oh poor man!she thought.The criminals actually hung her up and let her sink into the water head to foot!Please, God, don't let her die. They quickly shortened the distance, with Bell calling on the radio as he ran, calling for police backup and paramedics.Several passers-by on the east side of the pedestrian walkway stopped, curious to see what happened on the other side of the pond.

Help!I couldn't pull her up alone!The man on the pier called to Bell and Sachs.His voice was rather rapid, as if he was out of breath from exertion.The man tied her up and pushed her into the water, he wanted to murder her! But Sachs drew his pistol and pointed it at the man. Hey, what do you want to do?He asked in panic, I am here to save her!He glanced at the mobile phone hanging from his belt.I was the one who called 9/11. She still couldn't see his left hand as it was tightly wrapped around his right. Put your hand on the rope, sir, she said, where I can see it. I did nothing!He gasped, but his voice was rather strange.This may not be due to exertion, but the person may have asthma.

Bell avoided the line of fire from Sachs' guns, ran to the crane, and pushed its boom toward the muddy bank.When the woman's body was within reach, he immediately threw his arms around her.The man let go of the rope, and Bell placed the woman on the grass, where she lay limp and purple.Bell immediately ripped the tape from her mouth, removed the chains from her body, and began to perform CPR on her. The commotion has attracted more than a dozen people to gather, and Sachs shouted to them: Don't come near the scene!But is any of you a doctor? No one answered.She glanced back at the victim and saw her body shaking so good!They finally arrived in time.Just wait a little longer, and she will be able to wake up and identify this man.Then she looked over to the crime scene and noticed something nearby, a clump of brightly colored sailor blue fabric.She saw zippers and sleeves on the fabric.Perhaps, this is the jogging outfit he was wearing before the quick change.

The man also followed her gaze. Is there a reaction on his face?Did he twitch slightly?Sachs thought it should be, but couldn't be sure. Sir, she said decisively: I've got to handcuff you until we get this sorted out.Please hold your hand at this moment, suddenly another man yelled in panic: Miss, be careful!There's a man in a jogging suit on your right!He has a gun! People immediately screamed and fell to the ground, Sachs also squatted down, turned sharply to the right, and searched for the target with wide eyes.Rona, be careful! Bell was already lying on the ground.He lay down beside the woman, looking in the same direction as Sachs, his Sig pistol drawn out and in his hand.

But Sachs didn't see anyone in jogging attire.maybe he might Oh, no, she thought suddenly.Oops!She immediately became angry with herself, and immediately understood what was going on. The voice just now was pretended by the gangster, it was ventriloquism! She turned her head immediately, but just in time to see a bright light burst from the suspect's hand.The sudden burst of bright light blinded her eyes for a moment.Emilia!Bell cried: I can't see anything!where is he? I also Several gunshots rang out in succession from where the sorcerer was.When the bystanders heard the gunshots, they immediately ran away in panic. Bell also fired.Both Sachs and Bell squinted their eyes, trying to see the figure of the suspect clearly, but when her vision recovered, she realized that the criminal had already fled the scene, and the target she was aiming at was only the remains left by the magician who ignited more firecrackers. Down a cloud of smoke. Looking quickly to the east, she saw that the sorcerer had gone to the other side of the park path.The gangster was about to run up the street, but seeing a police car with its siren and flashes coming hastily toward him, he turned and ran up a wide staircase, into a nearby college, and disappeared into the college square. Among the crowd, like a copperhead snake slipping into the long grass.
