Chapter 183: No Surprise
Bai Xiu's heart froze: "What's wrong with them?"
Cheng Lu kept gesturing: "A large piece of my chest has sunk down, as if I have been attacked by some powerful cultivator." ”
Sure enough, it was the same way to die as Li Chun!
Could it be that this is also Fang Xuanqian's hand? Or was his previous guess wrong, Li Chun was not killed by him at all, and the murderer was someone else?
Bai Xiu was puzzled, but he had a faint thought lingering in his heart, this person had killed so many people, could it be that he wanted to create an opportunity for him to search the Xiwen Casino? !
If this is true, how ridiculous and pathetic.
But if it weren't for Fang Xuanxi, who else would have such a method? He was not without suspicion of Yingzhou, but as far as he had always known, they would never kill so recklessly, on the contrary, they were more cautious than ordinary people.
Seeing that he was distracted, Cheng Lu was a little confused: "Why do you seem to be a little unhappy when you hear this news? Forget it, don't talk about this, where did you just go, why did you only come back now, what about Chunzi? He is not with you?"
Bai Xiu smiled reluctantly, and casually made up an experience: "Before the light suddenly went out, I noticed the fluctuations in the spiritual power of other cultivators and chased after me, and you didn't see Li Chun either?"
Cheng Lu suddenly frowned: "It's strange, we came back first after the accident, and I thought you were behind him...... Could it be that something happened to Haruko?"
Pixiu reminded him: "Hit Brother Chunzi's mobile phone." ”
Cheng Lu held his forehead, took out his mobile phone, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I forgot." ”
He dialed a number, the phone rang three times, and suddenly it was connected.
How could Bai Xiu not be surprised, he clearly remembered that Li Chun's mobile phone was in his pocket, and now there is only one possibility that it is connected - someone went to the scene of the crime!
Thinking like this, he hurriedly listened with bated breath, but the other side was only connected, and there was no sound at all.
Cheng Lu hung up and played again, still with the same reaction, and several people looked at each other: "String the line?"
Bai Xiu said quietly: "He hasn't come back so late, is he in any trouble, why don't we go back and find out?"
Cheng Lu was already worried about Li Chun, so naturally he would not object.
They went downstairs and were about to rush to the Xiwen Gambling House, not wanting to bump into Xiang Ming and Dongfang Song head-on.
Without waiting for them to ask, Pixiu took the lead in shouting: "Old Xiang, Brother Chunzi is gone!"
Xiang Ming's expression was solemn, listening to them explain the ins and outs of the matter, he pondered for a while, and finally looked at Dongfang Song: "Brother Dongfang, please help find it." ”
Bai Xiu proposed: "Let's go and have a look first, Uncle Xiang, you and Mr. Dongfang will come over later." ”
The four of them hurried over, and they didn't care about asking someone to open the door, so they directly pried the window of the Xiwen Casino and got in.
Bai Xiu was selfish, so he went in and assigned the work first: "Let's look for it separately, Cheng Lu will go to the first floor, I will look for the second floor, and Pixiu and Ah Cheng will go up to the third floor." ”
The others did not suspect it, and each entered the Tianzi and Renzi gambling rooms.
Bai Xiu went up to the second floor, and made sure that no one else was there, so he got out of the window, tossed into the mezzanine on the first floor, and then cautiously sneaked towards the office.
It's a pity that he was too late, and there was no one inside.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of electricity in the silence, as if someone had been disturbed on the phone.
"Chunzi, where are you?" Immediately after, Cheng Lu's voice came out of Li Chun's pocket, "I heard a squeak!"
The last bit of hope in Bai Xiu's heart was also gone, Cheng Lu's phone never hung up, if the call was answered by the murderer, he was afraid that he would have fled long ago.
Seeing that there were no more clues here, Bai Xiu quietly returned, and went downstairs after carefully searching for it on the second floor.
The door of the Xiwen gambling house has been opened by Dongfang Song, and as soon as he arrived downstairs, Cheng Lu and the other two also returned.
Xiang Ming asked, "Did you find anything?"
The four of them shook their heads silently, and Bai Xiu said intentionally: "Maybe we didn't look carefully, let's look for it together." ”
Dongfang Song's expression was a little solemn, and he called a few people to continue the search.
Naturally, they also returned in vain, and the group was pondering, and someone remembered something: "There is a dark room here for the casino manager to rest, will he go there?"
Dongfang Song hurriedly asked him to lead the way, and as soon as he walked to the door of the office, the sharp-eyed Cheng Lu was the first to see Li Chun, who was sitting upright at the desk.
He thought that Li Chun was in a daze, and went to pat his good buddy on the shoulder complainingly, and the already stiff corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
Then there was another clang, Li Chun's mobile phone fell out of his pocket, not to mention Cheng Lu, the others were also stupid, and I don't know who howled: "Dead!"
Almost at the same time, his voice came from his phone on the ground.
Cheng Lu stared at his mobile phone stupidly for a few seconds, burst into tears, helped Li Chun and gritted his teeth sadly and angrily: "It was the murderer who answered the call just now...... Why, why didn't I come earlier!"
His roar came from Li Chun's phone again, as if it was its owner questioning.
Bai Xiu couldn't bear it, raised his hand to help him hang up the phone, and everyone didn't know how to speak, so they all remained silent.
In the midst of this momentary silence, footsteps sounded without warning.
Everyone was startled, listened intently for a while, and finally reacted, the voice actually came from Li Chun's mobile phone.
Cheng Lu was stunned, hurriedly picked it up, opened the mobile phone to take a look, and exclaimed: "Chunzi's mobile phone has been recording, and I just stopped when I called, this must be a clue he recorded before he died!"
He couldn't wait to turn the recording to the very beginning, and clicked it away with trembling hands.
The noisy human voice floated in everyone's ears, and ten minutes later it was replaced by a rush of footsteps, as if Li Chun had discovered something and was chasing after him.
Gradually, the recording was much quieter, and Li Chun's footsteps became softer, he should be following someone in secret.
He stopped suddenly, but he didn't speak, as if he had been discovered by the other party, as if he was confronting the man.
After a long while, he suddenly spoke: "Sure enough, it's you." ”
"Is it someone he knows?" Dongfang Song asked in a low voice, but unfortunately none of them had an answer.
The silence in the recording continued, and a few minutes later, Li Chun said, "I didn't expect you to do it to me." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting from inside, and with a muffled sound, Li Chun fell heavily to the ground, and then they heard him muttering three words: "Impossible, impossible, impossible......"
Soon he was silent, and the sound of heavy footsteps sounded neither like his, nor like the movement of the man he was chasing.
The others were a little confused, but Bai Xiu shuddered in his heart for no reason, it can't be wrong, this is the footsteps he heard when Li Chun entered the office before!
It seems that Li Chun was already dead at that time, which undoubtedly shook Bai Xiu's speculation, if the murderer was not Fang Xuanjian, who would be able to control the corpse?
The recording continued, the sound of heavy footsteps echoing, and after a minute or two, it stopped.
Bai Xiu knew that it was the man who put Li Chun's body in the office, and he was hiding under the bed and watching all this without knowing it.
Sure enough, there was silence for a long time in the next recording, and after listening to it for about ten minutes, Cheng Lu pressed fast forward in frustration.
Not long after, Bai Xiu heard his footsteps, and Cheng Lu also let the recording return to its normal speed.
He thought to himself that he had left no trace, but he listened attentively.
And it was this hearing that a cold sweat gradually broke out on Bai Xiu's back - almost overlapping with his footsteps, and there was a voice in the recording!
At that time, he was followed by a man!
"How could it be ......" Even if his attention was attracted by Li Chun, he didn't notice that someone was following him, this was simply a fantasy!
At this time, Bai Xiu was sure that the murderer would never be Fang Xuanjian, no matter how she hid her strength, it was impossible for her to be terrifying.
He was shocked in his heart, how could others not be inscrutable, Dongfang Song sensed a suspicious point: "Brother Li has been killed before, why has it been so long that the murderer has returned?"
Pixiu said angrily: "How can he answer the phone if he doesn't come back?"
Xiang Ming put forward his own speculation: "Maybe he didn't leave at all and was here all the time." ”
Cheng Lu's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he grabbed Li Chun's arm: "No matter who he is or what his purpose is, I must let him pay for his life!"
Pixiu's gaze drifted to Dongfang Song intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Chunzi was killed in Dragon Shadow Villa, and the Fang family can't get out of it!"
"Little brother, you can't say that, our Dragon Shadow Villa is also open for business, how can we tolerate a murder in the village, our head of the family has been taken for questioning, there is really no place to say if there is a grievance......"
Dongfang Song waved his hand anxiously, "I won't tell you anything, I thought you killed the other people before, but I didn't expect it...... Alas. ”
Cheng Lu glanced at him expressionlessly, turned his head to the others and said, "Everyone has worked hard, let's go back first, today's account will be calculated when our owner comes, which is right and wrong, there will always be justice." ”
Dongfang Song wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed: "It seems that you still don't believe me...... That's it, I understand your feelings, and we'll clarify it when the investigation comes out tomorrow. ”
After speaking, he glanced at a few people with complicated expressions, and left with his subordinates.
As soon as they left, the surroundings became quieter, and seeing that Li Chun was still looking at him without looking at him, Pixiu and Ah Cheng felt a little hairy in their hearts, but looking at Cheng Lu's expression, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Xiang Ming patted Cheng Lu on the shoulder: "Let's not move here for now, wait for someone to come to Decheng tomorrow, and see what they say." ”
"Hmm. Cheng Lu gently closed Li Chun's eyes and choked up, "We were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and we have been a young man for thirty years, but I didn't expect you to leave before me, God really doesn't open my eyes!"
The scream echoed through the room like a curse, and after a while, he smiled at the others: "Go back and rest, I'm here with him." ”
Bai Xiu's heart was filled with sadness and resentment, and he secretly made up his mind that no matter how powerful the other party was, no matter what the identity of the other party was, he must catch this murderous executioner.
Thinking about him, he comforted: "The deceased rest in peace, and the living should also take care of themselves, only by living well, can we seek justice for him." ”
Cheng Lu understood what he meant and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back with you." ”
Xiang Ming took the opportunity to say: "Don't worry here, I also have a few friends in the Fang family, and I will ask them to help guard it." ”
They returned to the Biyuan, cleaned up a little, and lay down, but it is not known who fell asleep and who had not slept all night.
Nothing was said all night.
Bai Xiu woke up early the next morning, and the others had already gotten up, and they washed up and had breakfast again, and no one mentioned last night's incident.
In the end, Cheng Lu said calmly: "I have contacted the owner yesterday, he should be there in a while, let's pick him up first." ”
Bai Xiu secretly thought that the death of his best friend had finally made Cheng Lu lose his former escape and become stable, and he didn't know whether Li Chun should be happy or sad to know about it.
