After receiving Foster's report, Roosevelt was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Now, the whole country is immersed in extreme sadness. Millions of people will attend the state funeral for President McKinley. The murderer was
The news of the escape cannot be known to the public, otherwise it will easily cause chaos, but the murderer cannot be allowed to go unpunished..."
Roosevelt's meaning has been very clear, that is, Liu Zhenming can only be pursued secretly.
Foster nodded immediately and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. President, we will definitely arrest him and bring him to justice in the shortest possible time."
After Foster went down, he immediately blocked the news and announced to the outside world that an accidental explosion had occurred at the Buffalo Prison last night. At the same time, more than a hundred federal agents were mobilized to hunt down Liu Zhenming.
Of course, the Buffalo police were also called in to help trace Liu Zhenming's whereabouts, but nominally they were pursuing the whereabouts of Miss Sophie Keely, who had committed serious economic crimes.
At this time, Liu Zhenming fell into a new danger.
The car drove all the way towards the suburbs, leaving the bustling city and bright lights far behind. There were not many vehicles on the road.
Moreover, after driving on the highway for dozens of kilometers, Ji Li turned onto a smaller road.
At this time, the United States was not yet a kingdom of roads, and the condition of some roads was not satisfactory, such as this one. The Mercedes bumped forward, making Liu Zhenming feel that his bones were about to fall apart.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of cars driving by.
As long as the woman did not drive to a prosperous place, Liu Zhenming would not object. In any case, there was no GPS positioning at this time, and it would be difficult for the pursuers to find her in a sparsely populated place.
"Can you, can you help drive the car?" Ji Li suddenly asked.
After getting into the car, Liu Zhenming and this woman only exchanged a few words. In addition to the fact that communication requires hands, feet, and facial expressions to be able to say something to each other, Liu Zhenming didn't know what to say.
Deal with this woman.
Liu Zhenming could kill without mercy, but he was not an ungrateful person, although he used Ji Li as a shield several times during the period.
But now, he was indeed rescued by this woman. The pistol she threw on the seat had never been fired.
"Can you help me drive the car?" Ji Li asked again without hearing Liu Zhenming's answer.
Liu Zhenming woke up from his meditation.
"Driving? I don't know how." Liu Zhenming replied sheepishly at first, then asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing!" Ji Li's voice was slightly disappointed.
Liu Zhenming looked over carefully and found that she was clenching her teeth, and there were big drops of sweat on her white forehead. When she looked at her arms, she found that the blood had soaked through her clothes.
It turned out that the bullet penetrated the flesh of Ji Li's shoulder. Although it did not penetrate the flesh, the subsequent extensive running and driving caused her wound to stretch and bleed.
"This won't work, you have to stop, let's walk." Liu Zhenming quickly tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage her, and said with a frown.
"It doesn't matter, there are still two kilometers away. We will reach a small river. That river is a tributary of the Niagara River. We can follow it to the Niagara River, and then find an opportunity to cross over and arrive in Canada." Ji Li.
After speaking quickly, he gritted his teeth again.
The Niagara River is the boundary river between the state of New York and the province of Ontario in the United States.
Not long after Ji Li finished speaking, Liu Zhenming heard the sound of rushing water, and then, a small river more than ten meters wide appeared under the illumination of the car lights.
"Let's get out of the car and let the car fall into the river by itself." Liu Zhenming immediately made a decision in his heart. He believed that those Americans were not fools and would definitely think that they were heading towards Canada. After all, Canada is on the other side of Buffalo.
Fort Erie, so they will definitely be searching around here on the border....
After the two got out of the car, Ji Li took out a few clothes and some daily necessities from the trunk, then started the car and watched it slowly fall into the river.
"Okay, let's go!"
Although the surroundings were completely silent, under the hazy moonlight, the road under my feet could still be vaguely seen.
Liu Zhenming looked around, preparing to find a narrower section of the river to cross. Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Ji Li's body softened and she fell to the ground.
"This woman lost too much blood and passed out!" After Liu Zhenming stepped forward to check, he immediately learned the reason. Looking at the pale Ji Li, Liu Zhenming began to have a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Throw her here? Maybe someone will come to see her tomorrow and rescue her, or she may die without being discovered. Or she may be picked up by a wild beast, Liu Zhenming thought as he looked at the mountains in the distance.
Take her away? Now you can't even save yourself, and you're also taking a woman with you. However, you can't be so ungrateful. Although she was poisoned by Charm, she had no ill intentions towards him in the first place, and she really saved him.
One life.
Forget it, leave everything to God. If she doesn't wake up tomorrow, then I have done my best.
Liu Zhenming picked up the things on the ground, carried Ji Li on his back, and headed towards the other side of the river.
…
"Water, water!" Sophie Keely felt her mouth go dry and she couldn't help shouting softly.
Then, she felt drops of nectar moistening her throat, and slowly opened her eyes. Ji Li saw the Oriental man she had rescued yesterday holding water in both hands and carefully dripping water into her mouth.
"Where is this?" Ji Li's thinking began to become clearer, and the scenes that happened last night slowly flashed through her mind.
"I'm crazy. I helped an Easterner escape from prison, and I'm still with him." Ji Li felt confused and panicked.
How could this happen? How could this happen? What should I do now? I must have become a wanted criminal!
Questions were like waves, hitting Ji Li's brain one after another. When she saw Liu Zhenming's slightly concerned face, for some reason, she lost the original anger in her heart.
"Did you save me?" Ji Li remembered that she fell into a coma last night.
"It should be said that we are just saving each other's lives." Liu Zhenming continued while fiddling with the bonfire on the ground: "I have cleaned your wounds again. You can go back tomorrow morning."
After Liu Zhenming carried Ji Li across the river, he immediately got into the mountains and found a small cave, where he planned to rest and continue his escape tomorrow morning.
Ji Li looked down at the firelight and found that her coat had been taken off, and the shirt underneath was completely soaked. Even the lace of the close-fitting corset was printed on the outside through the clothes, revealing its beautiful shape.
"Sorry, my clothes got soaked to save this box of matches when we were crossing the river. I'll go check some more dry firewood. You can dry your clothes here." Liu Zhenming noticed her movements and pointed to the fire.
The toasted coat explained softly.
In fact, when Liu Zhenming helped her take off her clothes, he was not as lighthearted as he said now. At least, the blood on his head was blood-curdling and his lower abdomen was burning.
Tonight, he unleashed all his inhibitions and appeared to be very violent. Therefore, when he saw the exquisite Ji Li, he almost lost control of his desires.
