Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Tense Moments

“Gulp~”

Through the gap in the wardrobe, he watched a forensic doctor walking towards his crammed wardrobe, and the non-mainstream youngster swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

“Don’t come over~”

The non-mainstream youngster’s heart was filled with panic.

“Wait!”

Just then, the SWAT team leader outside suddenly stopped the forensic doctor from opening the wardrobe.

The forensic doctor was startled and looked at the SWAT team leader in confusion.

The SWAT team leader didn’t utter a word, but waved his hand at the team members beside him, making a tactical gesture.

Several team members immediately got the hint and stealthily walked into the bedroom with their automatic rifles raised.

Seeing this scene, the forensic doctor was startled again.

He looked at the SWAT team leader bewilderedly.

The SWAT team leader shook his head at the forensic doctor and said, “Comrade forensic doctor, your task is to handle these two bodies and collect evidence.”

While saying this, the SWAT team leader gave the forensic doctor a meaningful look.

The SWAT team leader belonged to that group of people Aquarius talked about, with exceptionally keen hearing.

Just then, the non-mainstream youngster’s gulping sound and intensified breathing were transmitted clearly into the ears of the SWAT team leader.

The SWAT team leader immediately realized there was another person in the room.

This person was inside the wardrobe!

It was the forensic doctor’s attempt to open the wardrobe door that startled the person hiding inside, revealing his presence.

The ears of the SWAT team leader had countless times helped him to survive deadly battles, so the SWAT team did not believe he heard wrong.

Thus, this scene unfolded.

Seeing the SWAT team leader’s look, the forensic doctor was confused momentarily but quickly understood.

He hastily said, “I’m sorry, Comrade Captain, it was unintentional.”

With that, the forensic doctor turned and left the wardrobe.

“Phew…”

Seeing the forensic doctor leave, the non-mainstream youngster completely relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the ears of the SWAT team leader twitched a few times, revealing a cold smirk.

“There really is someone!”

The SWAT team leader muttered to himself.

The SWAT team leader gestured to his teammates to disperse the forensic doctors and prepare for action.

The team members instantly understood and signaled the forensic doctors to leave immediately.

They were all mixed with the Criminal Investigation Team, although not active in the front line, just technical personnel, but they still had the necessary vigilance. The forensic doctors immediately perceived the hint and tiptoed towards the door.

The SWAT team leader drew his handgun, switched off the safety, aimed at the wardrobe, and motioned the forensic doctors to get behind him.

Once all the forensic doctors quietly exited the bedroom and hid behind the SWAT team leader, he nodded to his team members, making an action gesture.

The team members immediately understood and began their move.

Their tactical cooperation in process was nothing short of perfect.

They instantly surrounded the wardrobe, where the non-mainstream youth was hiding, leaving no way out.

“Don’t move, put your hands on your head, and come out of the wardrobe. This is your last warning. If you do not comply, we will open fire immediately!”

A SWAT member, holding a steel shield in one hand and a handgun in the other, dashed to the front of the wardrobe and shouted loudly.

Behind him, two more SWAT members with automatic rifles aimed at the wardrobe.

Hearing the SWAT’s shout, the non-mainstream youth felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar; his blood ran cold.

“How…”

“How is this possible…”

“This can’t be happening!”

The non-mainstream youth screamed internally.

His pale face subconsciously tightened his grip on the gun.

“What do I do?”

“What should I do?”

“Should I fight them?”

The non-mainstream youth broke out in a cold sweat, perfectly embodying the saying ‘shaking in one’s boots.’

But internally, he was at war with himself.

He thought about gritting his teeth and fighting it out with the SWAT team.

But he was also afraid of dying, clutching at a hope that maybe he would get lucky.

“I’m going to count to three!”

“If you don’t cooperate, we will storm in!”

At the signal from the SWAT Team Leader, the shield-bearing officer once again shouted at the closet.

Meanwhile, the SWAT Team Leader closed his eyes, his one ear twitching continuously as the barrel of his gun moved around, as though searching for a target.

“3!”

The shield-bearing officer shouted loudly.

“Gulp…”

At these words, the non-mainstream youth tensely swallowed again.

Simultaneously, the SWAT Team Leader adjusted his gun to point to a corner of the closet.

That was the direction from which the swallowing sound had come.

“2!”

The shield-bearing officer shouted again.

“Gulp~”

The non-mainstream youth swallowed once more.

At the same time, he gritted his teeth, aimed his gun at the closet door, and made a move as if ready to burst out.

The sounds of swallowing, sweat dripping, heavy breathing, and the rustling of clothes—all reached the ears of the SWAT Team Leader.

The barrel of the SWAT Team Leader’s gun also moved continuously, gradually locking in one direction.

That was where the sounds were most concentrated.

The criminal hiding inside the closet was right there.

The SWAT Team Leader was sure of it!

If he were to shoot, the bullet would definitely hit the criminal in the closet.

Most likely in the waist or abdomen, with a smaller chance of hitting the chest or head.

The SWAT Team Leader, holding his aim, opened his eyes and nodded at the shield-bearing officer to indicate that he had taken aim.

All the teammates looked towards the SWAT Team Leader.

The barrels of their guns quietly matched the direction pointed by their leader’s gun, targeting a single point.

Following the leader’s gun is always right.

“This is your last chance, if you still won’t surrender and come out of the closet with hands over your head, we are going to move in!”

“I repeat, this is your final warning!”

The shield-bearing officer shouted loudly.

Simultaneously, the shield-bearing officer began to slowly move, lifting his shield and inching closer to the closet with small, shuffling steps.

It’s his job to open the closet door.

After all, he’s the one with the Steel Shield.

Seeing the movements of the shield-bearing officer, the non-mainstream youth clenched his teeth tightly, his finger slowly tightening on the trigger, prepared for a desperate struggle.

Listening to the criminal’s breathing grow increasingly heavy inside the closet, the SWAT Team Leader knew they were reaching the most tense moment—perhaps the next second, a fierce battle would erupt.

The fingers of the SWAT Team Leader also slowly tightened, the trigger moving under the pressure of his fingers.

If the criminal in the closet dared to fire, the SWAT Team Leader would retaliate.

They preferred to capture him alive if possible.

Except in extreme circumstances, they would not fire the first shot.

This was different from a frontal assault!

The middle-aged man and Fatty had already injured several members of the Criminal Investigation Team, posing as stubborn criminals resisting to the end. To ensure his team’s safety, the SWAT Team Leader would not hesitate to order the killing of the criminals.

But the situation with the non-mainstream youth was different; he could potentially be persuaded to surrender.

Capturing him alive would be more valuable than just a body.

They needed to know where these hardened criminals had come from and how many people were behind them.
