Chapter 22: The Covenant of the Goddess

When Liu Xiaoquan appeared in this cafΓ©, his figure was a little rickety, but he tried to hold his chest high and raise his head to prevent others from seeing the extreme uneasiness in his heart, because he was coming to meet someone today.

Shen Mingyue took the initiative to ask himself, he didn't have any reason not to come, and he was looking forward to it very much, but his mental state was really not good these days. So he was very conflicted in his heart, and wanted to find an excuse to say next time, but he really couldn't open his mouth, and he was even more afraid of missing the rare opportunity, and when he saw Shen Mingyue, he was happy at first, and then his mood was low again.

Because Shen Mingyue, who had been waiting for a long time, obviously did not come alone, and brought a dark and sturdy "male bodyguard", this person's face still looked very unkind, except for shaking hands with him as usual, there was no trace of an extra smile on his face, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

This made him a little apprehensive, and he didn't know what Shen Mingyue meant.

Shen Mingyue looked at his embarrassed demeanor, and couldn't help but smile, she didn't expect that the fourth brother was usually a very kind person, why would Liu Xiaoquan be so stunned when he saw him.

After a few words of greeting, Liu Xiaoquan didn't dare to talk casually, Shen Mingyue smiled mischievously: "Xiaoquan, do you know who he is?"

Liu Xiaoquan shook his head awkwardly, and said for a long time: "Could it be your brother?" He couldn't say anything, but he could only subconsciously go in a good direction, and he couldn't say that this was your boyfriend?

Shen Mingyue chuckled: "What you said seems to be right, he is indeed my fourth brother...... However, he has a more official identity, that is, Chief Inspector Chen of the Beiting Detective Agency. She was still afraid that Liu Xiaoquan would be upset, and added, "You don't have to worry about this, just chat together as friends today." ”

"Chief Inspector Chen?" Liu Xiaoquan's reaction was much more violent than Shen Mingyue imagined, he almost jumped up from the chair, and clumsily squeezed the leather chair behind him, and the sound made Shen Mingyue was also startled.

Shen Mingyue was surprised: "What's the matter, surprised?"

Liu Xiaoquan, who was still depressed just now, suddenly had a strange light on his face, and he instantly judged the two of them.

"Detective Chen Tianyu!" Liu Xiaoquan was very surprised, "Is it really you?" He stretched out his hands excitedly, Chen Tianyu had no choice but to reach out and shake him, motioning for him to sit down and talk.

Chen Tianyu smiled bitterly: "Ho, who gave me this nickname?"

Liu Xiaoquan said excitedly: "Just take Baidu, your name is everywhere, especially us young people, there are more die-hard fans like me...... I also know a lot of your legends, and I can recite them now. Judging by his expression, he shouldn't be lying.

Chen Tianyu coughed twice, his old face was slightly red, he really didn't expect that this ridiculous "prophet" would actually be his fan, is it an honor or an irony? This makes the usually calm detective a little difficult to deal with, the first time he has become a celebrity.

"Ahem, I didn't expect it...... Well, there's such an opportunity, uh......" Chen Tianyu immediately regained his seriousness and said in a deep voice, "In that case, that's fine, you already know the nature of my work, so you must also know why I came?"

Liu Xiaoquan finally calmed down, his mental state also improved significantly, he quickly picked up the chair that fell to the ground, and still said excitedly: "If I had known that Mingyue knew you, I wouldn't have had to go around in a big circle to go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case...... You say, am I reluctant to go far?"

Chen Tianyu waved his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, he was very unaccustomed to the words of praise.

"To be honest, Your Excellency can only find our Beiting if you call the police, and I'm afraid this procedure can't be bypassed, and your way of dealing with it is very right. …… Okay, time is pressing, polite words can be avoided, let's talk about the case first. Chen Tianyu didn't want to bother with words.

Liu Xiaoquan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's really good." ”

He thought for a moment and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Chen, Mingyue, have you seen the movie "Death is Coming"?"

Shen Mingyue said with a smile: "Of course I've seen it, the whole series doesn't fall one episode, it's indeed a very interesting movie." ”

Liu Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "Of course it's interesting to make a movie, but if it happens in real life, it's terrible...... Mingyue, I have a very bad premonition, all the people who survived in the scenic spot that day are likely to not be able to get rid of the tracking of death, and everyone will die strangely in various ways, and they can't resist at all, including the two of us...... In the end, it will certainly not be spared. He said it very seriously, and there was no joke at all.

If it hadn't been for the rescue experience in the scenic spot, if there had been no follow-up bizarre death accidents, Shen Mingyue would have scoffed, but now, she also listened to it with relish and nodded frequently.

"Do you remember, I told you that I saw death in the scenic area?" asked Liu Xiaoquan.

Shen Mingyue shook her head: "It doesn't seem to be." ”

"No?" Liu Xiaoquan thought for a while, not sure, so he described the tall black man again, and Shen Mingyue nodded suddenly in understanding.

"There seemed to be such a person at that time, but I didn't expect him to be the Grim Reaper?" Shen Mingyue was unknowingly taken into the pit, and Chen Tianyu was just watching from the sidelines, always silent.

"That's right!" Liu Xiaoquan continued, "Since the Grim Reaper has appeared, there are some things that are easy to explain. If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be an internal pattern hidden in this death list, which is a clear order of death, and then the Grim Reaper will arrange everyone's death according to this order of death, such as ......"

Chen Tianyu couldn't help but interrupt his statement, he didn't know that Liu Xiaoquan would continue to think nonsense in that direction, so he could only hit the nail on the head: "Please wait a minute, you focus on this order of death, we already have a rough idea of the rest." ”

Liu Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said firmly: "To be honest, during this time, I will wake up from a nightmare every night, and after waking up, I will reproduce the disaster picture of the scenic cableway station in my mind. He quickly fell into painful memories, "The first one who died must have been the first cable car, where two retired old couples were sitting; then, the steel cable broke, and the fifth cable car was cut off, and Ji Jing and his family were sitting in it; then, the third cable car was killed, and inside was Tong Minghai's family, they fell to their deaths on the pulley column, and then, then ......"

His expression was a little distorted: "Then it was my parents and sister who were killed, they took the second cable car, fell into the sea and fell onto the fishing raft, and finally, it was the fourth cable car that me, Mingyue, Zheng Xing, and Sister Zichen took ...... That's about it. ”

"It's definitely impossible to fly. No matter how naΓ―ve Shen Mingyue is, it is impossible to believe this, "That's your whim......"

Chen Tianyu rarely agreed: "If the god of death really exists, it is not strange that people can fly." …… As far as I know, your prediction is still somewhat accurate, and several people have been killed in the order of your prediction, but there is an obvious flaw here, it should not be the father and daughter of the Tong family who are in second place, but the Ji Zhuo family? Could it be that you are mistaken?"

"No, someone saved Ji Zhuo that day!" Liu Xiaoquan said eagerly, "What I saw with my own eyes was a woman dressed up very charmingly. I'm sure that if it weren't for this woman, it would definitely be Ji Zhuo who died this time, not Tong Minghai. ”

"Oh?" Chen Tianyu was slightly stunned, and suddenly said, "In other words, the order of death was accidentally broken?"

Shen Mingyue couldn't help but exclaim, "It's amazing that someone can actually save people from the hands of death." ”

She had an idea: "So, those of us who are still alive, although we may encounter danger, if someone comes to rescue us, can we escape?"

Liu Xiaoquan shook his head gloomily: "Maybe it's just a change of order." ”

Shen Mingyue pursed her lips: "Maybe the whole thing is just a coincidence, there is no death at all, you just daydreamed." ”

"Mingyue, you don't believe me either?" Liu Xiaoquan said urgently.

Shen Mingyue said helplessly: "Okay, just talk." Actually, I'm also very confused now, maybe I will die next, after all, the order has been disrupted, and anyone may be the next victim. ”

Liu Xiaoquan was also a little flustered, this possibility was not impossible, but it was not himself who was nervous, but Shen Mingyue, because Chen Tianyu was present, so he wanted to stop talking.

"Don't be angry, Mingyue. Chen Tianyu pondered slightly, and then said: "Everything must have cause and effect, in order to avoid a greater tragedy, we would rather believe it than believe it." ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "It is imperative that you determine who the next victim is as soon as possible and try to rescue it, right or wrong, we will talk about it later." If there are possibilities for everyone, the best way to do this is to protect them one by one. ”

Liu Xiaoquan and Shen Mingyue agreed in unison.

"Intuitively, who do you think will be the most dangerous right now?" asked Chen Tianyu.

Liu Xiaoquan was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Ji family." ”
