Chapter 58: A dilemma
"Do you know how to climb trees?"
Seeing Xia Yejin nodding, Fu Mingxin stretched out his hand and pointed to the big banyan tree whose branches extended to the window, "Go down from there." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Shall we all do it together?"
"You go first, I have something to do here."
Fu Mingxin said, pretending to pull out a smile easily.
Even if it was really a Hongmen banquet, he couldn't just throw his hands and leave. Not only could he not, but he had to hold on until the last moment.
But Xia Yejin's thoughts were diametrically opposed to him.
After weighing the pros and cons, she found that the probability of being doubted in thirteen times was far better than the premonition of the final outcome. Leaving early is just an object of suspicion, anyway, both Li Fengshan and Jiang Feng have a good relationship with him, and when the time comes, they will be able to pass the test by finding a suitable reason to explain. But staying here is different.
If you have already made up your mind to save him, how can you give up halfway like this?
Fu Mingxin saw Xia Yejin standing still, thinking that she was scared, and was about to open her mouth to persuade her, but saw the other party looking up at him, "This place will be blocked after eleven o'clock, the gendarmerie will come, and you will not be able to leave again at that time." "At that time, even if I could go down to the garden, I couldn't escape.
"It's all my fault."
Fu Mingxin replied in a low voice.
If it weren't for his momentary negligence and credulity in believing the old lady, Xia Yejin wouldn't have had to wade into this troubled water at all.
Seeing him like this, Xia Yejin originally wanted to question him, but his words were forcefully suppressed. Fu Mingxin has never been an impulsive person, since he came here knowing the danger, he must have a reason to come.
"You're already good."
Xia Yejin looked up at him again.
The two are not standing close, but the delicate and warm eyebrows and eyes of the other party are unusually clear and bright, like stars in the dark night, like a lighthouse in the far sea.
She looked at the wall clock on the wall, and there were only five minutes left until eleven o'clock.
"I just heard some conversation on the top floor, and eleven o'clock is the deadline...... I'll crawl out of here, and you'll go through the gate, and it's better to be suspicious than to be killed by the gendarmes."
Xia Yejin couldn't say these last two words. But she knew the other party had understood.
There is no time left.
The hunch in her head grew stronger, and she could even hear the gendarmerie car driving through the front door.
But Fu Mingxin heard the contradiction from her incompatible, "Since all the suspicious people left early or didn't show up for some reason, why did the gendarmes come to besiege the people who stayed in the hall?" It stands to reason that most of the people who stay are normal, if not completely ruled out suspicion, right? ”
Xia Yejin also didn't understand it, but the picture in her mind had always been fragments, and she couldn't tell a complete reason now.
At this moment, a sharp scream came from next door. Fu Mingxin pushed the door out, there was already a group of people outside, a certain maid retreated in panic, he got a little closer, and the blood in his whole body instantly coagulated.
Xia Yejin also took advantage of the chaos to come out, but she was also startled after seeing someone who fell to the ground covered in blood. This person she knew, it was the young waitress she had just bumped into her.
"Are you alright?"
Sensing the other party's abnormality, Xia Yejin walked up to him and asked in a low voice.
Fu Mingxin didn't answer, and his slightly trembling shoulders revealed his mood at the moment. The young man in front of him, who had lost his breath in a pool of blood, was the waiter who had handed him a note to leave.
Something went wrong with the organization.
At least there is an inner ghost in his line.
The waiter is dead, and he can't tell whether that information is true or false now, even if the Hongmen Banquet is true, then let them leave early? Before he died, what did the waiter say and how much did he explain? Has he already been identified?
All of this was unknown with his death.
Jiang Feng came down the stairs on the right, saw Fu Mingxin, and said hello with a smile from afar, but fortunately, Xia Yejin's eyes were sharp, and he hid in the room as quickly as possible before he barely escaped.
He was followed by a neatly dressed strange man, Fu Mingxin didn't know him, but he felt that the expression on the other party's face froze the moment he saw him.
With just one glance, he suddenly understood the meaning of Xia Yejin's inconsistent words just now.
It is better to kill by mistake than to let go.
This man is an agent, and a well-trained agent, even his own person, once his own person.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Commander Cai and Li Fengshan, the two old foxes.
It doesn't matter how tonight's banquet develops in the end, because both of them are the biggest profiteers.
Whether you choose to leave early by believing the information of the waiter, or stay with a skeptical attitude, you can't escape the doom of being purged in the end. The names of those who leave early are recorded and subject to strict scrutiny; And those who stay will be identified by this strange man, who was once his own person.
It doesn't matter how you choose, because the end result is death.
In the midst of this chaos, the huge pendulum at the top of the hall shook eleven times.
Xia Yejin sighed.
What about the unpredictable prophets, the wheels of history are still going in the same direction.
Commander Cai was giving a speech in the center of the hall, and the content was lackluster, but it attracted bursts of applause. Then Li Fengshan appeared, and the sound of blessings continued.
The strange man and Jiang Feng walked slowly side by side in the hall, thinking at first glance that they were two friends gossiping. The two walked and stopped, turned around, and still seemed to find nothing.
In fact, Fu Mingxin understood that because of the waiter's untrue and false information, the people who should have left had already left in advance, and he was the only one who stayed here at the moment. The strange man will only gain if he identifies him.
There is no moon and no stars in the sky.
However, the various lights in front of the western-style building make this originally ordinary night as dazzling as day.
Fu Mingxin had already made a decision, he walked into the room, looked at Xia Yejin and said If there is chaos in the hall later, you should quickly take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to sneak out.
Xia Yejin has always disagreed with the scene where the hero and heroine in the romance drama say goodbye to you and me, but seeing the other party say this at this moment, she still blurted out a rhetorical question, "What about you?" ”
Fu Mingxin was silent.
She knew it instantly.
"Can't we just find a place to hide first, avoid that person, and wait for the banquet to end before leaving?"
"I can't." Fu Mingxin shook his head, "I need to be present to prove it, and you need to get out of here immediately." ”
He is not alone, he is still burdened with the lives of hundreds of people up and down the Fu Mansion, once he is found by Commander Cai, it is not as simple as his own small life.
