Chapter 224: Searching for the Killer
"Well, then you should go to bed early." Liu Xinlan sighed in her heart and finally said.
Lin Yi could hear the disappointment in the other party's tone, and he felt a little unbearable. But thinking of Li Ting's words, he finally suppressed the ** in his heart, got rid of a distracting thought, and closed his eyes to sleep.
After a while, only an even snoring sound was heard in the carriage, Liu Xinlan looked at Lin Yi's bed in the dark, and finally sighed.
Hearing this sigh, Lin Yi, who pretended to be asleep, felt a little uncomfortable, continued to pretend to snore, and slowly, fell asleep.
Lin Yi slept in a daze for an unknown amount of time, and was woken up by the sound of a small sparrow's chirping.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Tangtang standing next to her bed, looking at herself with a pair of big smart eyes, and said, "Big brother, get up and eat, my mother bought breakfast for you!" ”
Lin Yi's mind was a little dizzy, but seeing Tangtang's innocent appearance and Liu Xinlan sitting on the opposite side of the bed with a smile, his brain was much clearer for a while, he touched Tangtang's hair, and said, "Thank you Tangtang, thank you mother." ”
Sugar Candy burst out laughing.
Lin Yi got up and went into the bathroom, washing his face and brushing his teeth.
Since everyone booked a high-end box, each soft sleeper car is equipped with a special toilet, so that Lin Yi and others do not have to squeeze the toilet like most passengers on the car.
After breakfast, everyone came to the carriage where Lin Yi was.
Li Ting and Lin Yi sat together, and whispered in their ears: "Did you do anything bad behind my back last night?" ”
Lin Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly kept this intact ear away from the other party's mouth, for fear of being bitten again, and laughed in a low voice: "How dare you!" ”
"If you don't dare."
Chen Yuanqing and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw the two of them having no guesses.
Next, Chen Yuanqing arranged for the men to inspect the carriage, while Lin Yi, because he took care of the heavy responsibility of protecting the young lady, had to stay by Liu Xinlan's side.
After Chen Yuanqing and the four of them left, the three of them chatted in the carriage again.
"Sister Xinlan, thank you so much for the matter between me and Lin Yi yesterday." Li Ting said with a smile, and asked again, "Lin Yi didn't snore you when he slept last night, right?" ”
This sentence was obviously a tentative tone, and Li Ting was afraid that Lin Yi would not tell her the truth.
Liu Xinlan smiled slightly, she didn't know the meaning of Li Ting's words, she just half-jokingly said: "Lin Yi's cry was like thunder last night, and we couldn't sleep well at all, I really hope to find a way to reach the destination, and when the time comes, you can quickly bring your kid back." ”
As soon as she heard this, Li Ting's face blushed slightly, and she still had the expression of jealousy just now.
Lin Yi grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "You want to believe me this time." ”
"Did I say I didn't believe you?" Li Ting's eyes glared at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly shut up, although the tooth marks on his ears had scabbed over after a night's rest, it was still a little painful, and he didn't want to do it again.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Liu Xinlan's eyes were full of smiles, but a trace of inexplicable loneliness flashed in her heart.
The three of them laughed and chatted, but basically Liu Xinlan watched the two flirt and scolded, and sighed in her heart, saying that the IQ of a woman in love was zero, and the capable and outstanding temperament that could have been felt from Li Ting was completely consumed by Lin Yi.
"Mom, big brother and big sister play together, why don't you play with sugar candy and mother?" Sugar Candy sat next to her obediently, her two little legs swinging on the edge of the bed, and asked curiously.
When Li Ting heard Tangtang's words, she immediately squatted down and said with a smile: "Little Tangtang, is it okay for my sister to play with you?" ”
"Good!" Sugar Candy laughed.
"Then let's go around the train." Li Ting said hello to Lin Yi and the others, and went out with Tangtang's hand.
Not long after, Chen Yuanqing and the others came back with a depressed expression on their faces.
Lin Yi and Liu Xinlan stopped talking, and Lin Yi asked, "How is the situation?" ”
The four of them sat down, Chen Yuanqing shook his head and sighed: "We targeted young and beautiful women according to the physiognomy you said, but we searched all over the carriage and didn't find it." ”
"Did you find the toilet?" Lin Yi frowned and asked.
Chen Yuanqing said: "Not only every toilet, but also the dining car compartment, air conditioning generator and other carriages have been seen, but there are none. The only thing I haven't seen is the luggage compartment, which the escort staff stopped and didn't let me see. ”
Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "Could it be, in there?" ”
"I think it's possible, too." Chen Yuanqing nodded, "However, since the female killer has a companion, maybe her companion will be mixed in any section of the carriage, because we don't know each other, so we can't find each other at all, so this is completely passive!" ”
"Anyway, let's find out the female killer first." Lin Yi immediately got up, "I'll go with you." ”
"You've got to take care of Miss." Chen Yuanqing shook his head, "I'll try again, the three of you are all here to stay." ”
The last sentence was obviously said to the three bodyguards, Chen Yuanqing sighed, and thought to himself, it really can't work, so he can only expose his identity a little.
"Uncle Chen, I'll accompany you. What if you do encounter a female killer? Luo An stood up and said.
Chen Yuanqing thought about it and nodded.
The two left, and the atmosphere in the carriage was no longer as lively as it had been. After all, there is a killer on the train who wants to plot against Liu Xinlan, who can be happy at this time.
After a while, Li Ting came in with the sleeping little sugar candy in her arms, and said in a low voice: "Just now Tang Tang and I were playing in the dining car car, I guess it was too boring on the train, and it didn't take long for the little guy to fall asleep, I'll put her on the bed to sleep." ”
Liu Xinlan hurriedly took it and said, "Li Ting, thank you." I'll do it anyway. ”
Since Xiao Tangtang had fallen asleep, everyone didn't dare to talk more, just sat quietly and waited for Liu Yuanqing to come back.
After a while, Chen Yuanqing came back again, and the news he got was that he went in and searched with the cooperation of the escort, but there was still no trace of the killer.
"That's weird, could the killer have evaporated from the train? Before the train arrived at its destination, it only stopped once, and that was Li Ting's hometown of Shuzhou. It stands to reason that you shouldn't be able to find it, right? Wang Xin wondered.
"Maybe the other party is hiding it deeper." Chen Yuan frowned and said, originally wanted to light a cigarette to dispel the sullenness in his heart, but he thought of doing it on the train, and ordered: "Anyway, no matter what, always pay attention to the safety of Miss, before arriving in Shuzhou, the four of us take turns to inspect the train every day, and Lin Yi will continue to take on the important task of protecting Miss, and there must be no sloppiness." ”
Lin Yi and the others nodded one after another.
In the next two days, everyone tensed their nerves and treated Chen Yuanqing cautiously. Even Tangtang seemed to feel this tense atmosphere, and no longer asked to go to the carriage to play, and stayed with Liu Xinlan obediently.
Perhaps because of the strict protection, it is undoubtedly gratifying that no one has been attacked by killers.
Seeing that tonight will be able to arrive in Shuzhou tomorrow morning, everyone, including Chen Yuanqing, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After tonight, you can get out of danger for a while. However, Chen Yuanqing also knew that I was afraid that tonight was the most dangerous night, so although he was very tired physically and mentally for two days, he still asked everyone to cheer up.
After dinner, everyone sat around to discuss, Chen Yuanqing said: "Tonight, Luo An, Wang Xin, Zheng Jian, let's not sleep, wait by Miss's side 24 hours a day." Do you understand? ”
"Understood." The three of them said almost in unison.
"Lin Yi, your task is the same as ours, wronged you for one night today, there is no problem, right?" Chen Yuanqing's gaze turned to Lin Yi again.
Lin Yi nodded: "No problem." Before I could, though, I'd have to go to the various carriages myself, and I really can't believe that the killer would disappear from the train. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative. Uncle Chen, what do you say? ”
Chen Yuanqing pondered for a long time, and finally agreed to Lin Yi's plan, and said, "Your method is not impossible. I really can't figure out where the killer is hiding. However, you have to go back quickly to avoid any accidents on the way. ”
Lin Yi nodded solemnly, got up to say hello to the others, and then strode towards the outside of the box.
Li Ting advised: "Lin Yi, you must be careful! ”
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Yi turned around and smiled at Li Tingzhi, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight, not closing the door of the box.
Lin Yi left, and everyone began to get nervous inexplicably. In the past few days, Lin Yi has become their backbone.
Chen Yuanqing sighed with emotion: "Such an ordinary small mountain village can actually give birth to such an outstanding talent as Lin Yi, Lin'an is really an outstanding person!" ”
In addition to the box, Lin Yi immediately began to search, he first searched carefully in the soft sleeper and hard sleeper compartments, and occasionally he searched if he did not cooperate, Lin Yi was forced to be helpless, and he also needed violent intimidation. Then I took a closer look at the hard-seated cars, and the results were not satisfactory at all.
Lin Yi knew that since the killer knew how to hide, not to mention that Chen Yuanqing and the others couldn't find them out during their daily inspections, it was normal for him to not find them now, so he was not discouraged, and then went to other carriages to search.
However, when he first entered the dining car, a sturdy burly man who came out with a lunch box attracted his attention.
The big man is about 1.8 meters, wearing a white tracksuit, with an ordinary face, and he can't tell which type of person it is when he throws it into the crowd, but the other party's eyes are very deep and seem to have experienced many storms.
Lin Yi's heart moved, took out a silver needle from his arms, and walked towards the big man head-on.
He was a little suspicious that this guy was Liu Yanran's comrade. The two passed by, Lin Yi quietly inserted the silver needle into the back of the other party's neck artery, if this needle is solid, even if he does not die, he will lose half his life. As a trained killer, you will never be unaware of this.
It's just that Lin Yi was a little disappointed by the result. The other party didn't react at all, and his expression didn't even change at all.
