Reverse trap

*Bai Li*

"Because there were two bullets that were shot that night," Xin Zhen said.

I nodded.

"What!?" Liao Huifang and Qi Qiang exclaimed.

It was just as shocking for me when things fell into place as I remembered everything.

I heard Xin Lei's pitter-patter on her phone. "Your bullet hit the pole."

"While somebody else's bullet hit Tan Ye," I completed. "There was somebody else standing behind me at a distance, which made that shot. No wonder Cocoa was barking so much and seemed so restless."

I heard Luo Zhiqiang's voice, "What do you mean?"

"I had instructed Cocoa to go at the backside and attack Rodey if necessary on my command. Naturally, he was supposed to be quiet. But when Rodey caught hold of Tan Ye, he suddenly ignored my command and started to bark loudly. I was surprised because he never did that. He kept on barking, and I panicked because he exposed his location to Rodey."

I took a pause.
