[traditional Chinese]
罪惡有痕 49

 

僵持一段時間後，警方開始投擲催淚彈。圍牆裏頃刻煙霧瀰漫。與次同時，有人迅速從前門進入，穿過院子，攻入離大門最近的廚房。據瞭解，農宅的所有房間從裏面都是想通的。

在外圍待命的人都緊張地觀察着農宅。這裏面也包括劉明天和趙凱峯。

趙凱峯是盼望不要再有槍聲的。他希望不要出人命。而劉明天則冷靜地對他耳語了一句，“做好最壞的打算。”

他的話音剛落，農宅裏突然槍聲大作。聲音剛一消停，更多的武警進入農宅支援。

 

[English translation]
Traces of Sin  49

After a short period of stalemate, police started to throw tear bomb into the farm house. Smoke spread out inside the walls immediately. Meanwhile, people broke in from the front door, ran across the yard and entered the kitchen, the room that was closest to the door.

People who were on stand-by watched the house anxiously. Liu Mingtian and Zhao Kaifeng were among them.

Zhao Kaifeng had hoped to not hear any cross fire. He wished no more lives to be claimed again. Yet Liu Mingtian whispered to him,”Prepare for the worst.”

Right after that, the gun fire stirred up violently inside the house. Before the next break of gun fire, more armed police forced their way in.
