Chapter 10 Colleagues' Code Names

Every move that took place at the entrance of the temple, Li Wei hid at the corner of the steep slope and saw it clearly. His legs were already numb because he had been squatting for a long time and didn't dare to stand up, but at this time he only cared about his heart pounding. He turned his back to the sky, closed his eyes, and let the images of this so-called recreational suburban tour come and go in his mind, and he felt full of regret.

My thoughts were like a mess, the mobile phone in my trouser pocket suddenly vibrate, and when I opened it, it was a text message: "I've been squatting for so long and my legs are sore, right? I guess you haven't eaten yet, so I'll go around the road halfway up the mountain from the east and pick you up to eat something first." The number at the end showed that the sender was Shang Yiming! Li Wei suddenly tried to stand up, but he didn't want his legs and feet to be obedient, so he sat on the ground again.

Li Wei sat in place for another ten minutes, feeling that his lower limbs were flexible, and at the same time saw that no one in Xiangyang Temple opened the door and came out, so he left. Along the way, he called Shang Yiming's mobile phone several times, and all he got was a busy response. The road on the eastern side of the mountain is even more difficult to walk than the west and north sides, and it is probably a wild road that is rarely passed by locals. Staggering all the way down, he saw someone waving at him down the hill. When he walked over, he was shocked to find that it was the woman of the man and woman who lived in the same farmhouse with them!

Aside from the pair of sunglasses, though, her outfit has changed dramatically: a light black tracksuit — the same brand as Xiaoping's purple one — with a pair of newly bought dark blue sneakers and a large black backpack on her back. The reserved white-collar style on her face before turned into a cheerful smile. Li Wei noticed the camouflage telescope hanging on her chest, which was Shang Yiming's.

The woman crossed her waist and watched Li Wei slowly approach, and soon found that his eyes were focused on her chest, and she instinctively felt embarrassed, so she pointed to the telescope, twisted the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Is this this? "Dante?" "The one who came with you!" Li Wei already understood, and the text message was also sent by her. "What a mess! Where did you get him? Is it a haunted backhill or somewhere else?"

The woman smiled nonchalantly and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time, but you have not appeared, so they have to go to the errand first and leave me to pick you up." "Who? Who? Tell me where did you two kidnap my companion?" "Hahaha! He's a man in his twenties, he looks like he could be abducted by us? If you want to know the reason, come with me." She turned to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Li Wei standing still. "What, afraid that I have a conspiracy?" Li Wei listened, and hesitated to move two steps forward. "Dante is right, you are a bold and careful man. But he also promised that you are clear from wrong, and you are righteous and trustworthy. Obviously, as of now, for the sake of this friend who suddenly disappeared, you did not call the police, but bravely carried out an investigation like a headless fly that you had never done. Now that I'm going to lead you to the answer, you don't have the guts, and if you don't come with me, you probably won't see your old friend today. ”

Li Wei was very similar to rushing up to subdue her, take her hostage, and then go to her male partner to exchange for Shang Yiming, but her weightless posture made him hold back this impulse. He didn't say anything, but followed her and kept a certain distance from her. The figures of the two gradually moved away from the mountain where Xiangyang Temple was located.

"Whatever you plan to do, be sure of one thing: I am not your enemy. The woman walked briskly and didn't look back, "Actually, I'd like to give you a thumbs up." You know, at first we didn't believe that you could make reasonable judgments and choices after superimposing another negative emotion - doubt, but Dante firmly believes that you have the ability, and you do live up to his best recommendation. "Why do you call him Dante?" Li Wei asked when he heard what she said. "We all use code names among our colleagues. ”

"Colleague?" Li Wei couldn't help but stop, "Are you colleagues? You also work in that hospital?Are you a psychiatrist?" "Hospital?hehe......" Without waiting for him to ask, "Are you also here to investigate the business development space", she interrupted him with a smug laugh, "No, I have nothing to do with the hospital." "I hope you didn't "escape" from the hospital. Li Wei thought so in his heart, but asked: "Can you tell me your code name?" and "Call me Jane Eyre." "Jane Eyre, ho, that gentleman must be Rochester?" Hearing this, Jane Eyre turned her head and glared at him solemnly, and said, "First, his name is Xingtian, and second, he is just my colleague." As for you, since you don't have a code name yet, I have to call your name first. If there are no other problems, let's move on. ”

The two walked in the southeast direction for another 15 minutes, and Li Wei, whose empty stomach was full of question marks, felt exhausted, but Jane Eyre walked steadily, and she did not expect her hiking ability to be so good. "Wait," Li Wei saw that there was a seemingly uninhabited village in front of him, and there were only the two of them on this road, so he stopped again, "Shang ...... Dante, where the hell is he?"

"Well, he's supposed to be back at the farmhouse by now. "What is he doing there?" "Pack your bags." Also, attend tonight's bonfire. "Bonfire?" "Yes, several neighboring farmhouses are going to have a bonfire party together tonight, and he can take this opportunity to show his face." The two of you guests, who will return to the city tomorrow, will be nowhere to be seen tonight, and it is easy to arouse suspicion. "Tonight...... What's going on tonight?" "Aren't you hungry? I'm hungry anyway. Jane Eyre finally got impatient, pointed to the hungry village in front of her, and said, "Let's go eat first, and then I'll answer your questions one by one, okay?"

She led Li Wei into the village. There was not a single house in this small village, the doors of a dozen broken brick houses had collapsed, the window frames had rotted, and the roofs of two or three had collapsed; the crooked hedges were surrounded by waist-high weeds, and from time to time sparrows and wild dogs scurried around in them, so that they could make a little noise; only a few stout old trees still stood tall at the head and back of the village. "This village was originally quite poor, but later, with Boss Wang's vigorous investment in tourism, the county's economy developed, so he set aside a few pieces of land to build new houses, and moved people like this in the county, and the original village was completely abandoned. At the entrance of the village, Jane Eyre introduced like a tour guide.

Li Wei saw that there was no one here, his heart suddenly tightened, and the legends and stories of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign banshees seducing men poured out of his memory, thinking of the demon who could transform into a human form that the proprietress talked about, he actually shuddered, and immediately stopped his feet, and shouted: "There is no one in this place! What do you want to do with me?"

"You be quiet!" Jane Eyre narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice to reprimand him, "What are you calling?" she walked up to him, crossed her waist and said, "Are you nervous?" According to common sense, I came to this kind of deserted village alone with a big man of one meter and nine, and the two words you just said should come out of my mouth, right?" She still didn't amplify her voice.

Li Wei's face was flushed and he was speechless. Jane Eyre whispered to him again, "We have already stocked up here with bread, canned food, and drinks. Come in with me and get it, but it's quieter. ”

What, are you afraid that I will alarm the little animals in the grass to come and grab food from us? Before Jane Eyre walked into a dilapidated house, Li Wei was confused, and when he entered the house and poked his head, he was so frightened that he took a step back. I saw a mass of something curled up in the corner of the inner room trembling slightly, my God, where is the "thing," it is clearly a person! Li Wei walked in and saw that it was a woman, tied firmly by ropes, sitting on the ground unable to move, her mouth was tightly gagged with a towel, and her eyes were covered with a black cloth. She seemed to hear footsteps approaching, "whined" twice, and shrank back desperately.

This woman seems to be a little familiar, looking at her in a white dress, the patterns and patterns on it are exactly the same as the "maid suits" of those waiters in the farmhouse, and then look closely at her facial contours and hairstyle, ah, it is the assistant who never leaves the boss's side all day long!
