Chapter 190: Guess Who
Shu Tianxiang, who happened to be outside, heard a knock on the door, so he walked over and soon walked in with a man in a windbreaker.
The man was about thirty years old, and he was very ordinary, wearing a pair of black gloves, and even when he entered the house, he didn't say he wanted to take them off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, another friend who is sheltering from the rain is here."
"Hello everyone!" The man in the trench coat didn't seem to mean to introduce his name, but just politely said hello and stopped talking.
After seeing his actions, Shu Tianxiang did not say that he had to continue to persuade himself to introduce himself.
"Come on, let's drink a cup of hot water to warm up!"
It's autumn now, and the mountains are already cool, and with heavy rain, the temperature is also low.
Shu Tianxiang took the teacup and poured a cup of hot water for everyone, and then several people began to chat casually.
"You said that with such a heavy rain, will there be a flash flood in Yanqing Mountain? In the past, during the flash floods, did anyone die? Wang Shanlin said suddenly, looking at the pouring rain outside the window as he spoke.
"Who can say that!" Shu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"Mr. Shu, don't you live here? Why don't you know this? Isn't there a small river in front of me? If it rains so much, the river will rise, right? Wang Shanlin couldn't help asking.
"Mr. Wang, I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean that I often live here, I only come here occasionally for two days, and usually, I live in Beiping City."
"This is our family's ancestral home, which is used for vacations and summer vacations. You go down the path to the door, and there are a few houses inside! Shu Tianxiang explained unhurriedly.
I see.
"I don't know if the flash flood will kill people, but I do know that there is a murderer hiding in Yan Qingshan, and he just came in this morning!" At this moment, the man in the trench coat suddenly spoke.
"What? You're not kidding, are you? A murderer has gone into the mountains? Wang Shanlin's eyes widened and he asked in shock.
Chu Mufeng and Jiang Yi glanced at each other and were silent.
"That's right!"
The man in the trench coat nodded and said calmly, "I heard this news in the town below the mountain when I came in just now. ”
"Now everyone in the town already knows that a murderer has entered Yanqingshan, and he also stabbed a police officer, and the injured person is now being rescued urgently, and he is not out of danger of life."
"Really? That's so suspenseful! I said that murderer wouldn't come to us, would he? And since the police officers in the town know about this, why don't they hurry over and arrest people? ”
Wang Shanlin subconsciously shrunk his neck, and his face showed a bit of undisguised panic.
"Are you talking about murderers male or female? Is it a person or an accomplice? Ye Lan, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but ask.
"It's a man, a man."
After scanning the audience, the man in the trench coat said meaningfully: "The police officers in the town have begun to assemble and prepare to come in and search the mountain. ”
"I don't think that murderer wants to escape, if I were him, I would obediently go out and turn himself in now, so that I can fight for leniency, otherwise if I am really caught, the end will be very miserable."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's right! ”
Wang Shanlin's eyes were a little flustered, but his words were very high-pitched, "If I were that murderer, I would quickly surrender myself!" ”
"Otherwise, let these officials work hard in the rain to search and arrest, don't think about it! But I don't think we'll be so unlucky to be infiltrated by that murderer! We shouldn't have a murderer here! ”
"Really? How do you say that? The man in the trench coat couldn't help but ask.
"You don't want to think about what you just said, you just said that the murderer is a single man, which means that he has no companions, but none of us here meet this condition."
"Then, you see, I'm here with Ye Lan, I'm not a murderer, it's even more impossible that she's a woman! Later, this Su brother came with Miss Ye, and they naturally weren't, so you were the only one alone, unless the murderer was you! ”
Wang Shanlin looked at the man in the trench coat with straight eyes.
"Nonsense, of course I'm not, if I were a murderer, would I stand up and say this myself?" The man in the trench coat said disappreciatively.
"Yes, you're right, if you're a murderer, there's no reason to say the news, since none of us are not, then don't worry about it."
"Actually, if you want me to say, this heavy rain is estimated to stop soon, and when the rain stops, let's get out of here quickly!"
"Miss Ye Lan, don't be afraid, with me, I will protect you!" Wang Shanlin looked sideways at Ye Lan, patted his chest, and made a promise like a loyal knight.
"Don't worry, I won't have a murderer here. If there was a murderer, would he have come to a place where there were so many people? ”
After Shu Tianxiang looked at a few people, he said with a smile: "You guys are right? If you were a murderer, would you come to a crowded place? I must have gone to find those caves where no one was hiding, and I wouldn't have come here at all. ”
"But you can't say that!"
Chu Mufeng raised the corners of his eyebrows and said casually: "Under normal circumstances, the murderer must go to an inaccessible place, but there are other possibilities. ”
"For example, this murderer is hungry, so he has to find something to eat, right? He's sure to come where there are people. Another example is that this murderer has psychological problems, so he likes to go to crowded places to hide, play with heartbeats and excitement? ”
"Ah, don't say it!" Jiang Yi, who felt a little numb in her scalp, glanced at Chu Mufeng a little speechlessly.
Chu Mufeng was pulled by Jiang Yi's arm and said no more.
"Actually, I think what Mr. Su said makes sense!"
Ye Lan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke in surprise, and after she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and coldly glanced at the people around her.
"Miss Ye, what do you mean by that?" Wang Shanlin's little eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"I mean it very simply, I'm a writer and I've studied a lot of cases. To be clear, my cases are all real because I have friends who are police officers. ”
"He once told me that in a deep mountain and old forest, several people hid in a room, and then there were murderers who liked to kill people."
"Yes, that's what he said, the killer will quietly start killing until he kills everyone. That's why I said maybe the killer had already gotten in! ”
Ye Lan said so many words for the first time, and deliberately lowered her voice, creating a tense atmosphere.
"Miss Ye, don't be alarmist, how is it possible! You ......"
"Maybe you're the murderer!"
Whoever thought that Wang Shanlin's words were not finished, and he was directly interrupted by Ye Lan.
She stared at her with burning eyes, "You have this possibility too, stop talking nonsense." ”
"You!"
Wang Shanlin's fat body trembled, the fat began to sway, and the eyes that looked at Ye Lan became full of resentment.
I'm already laughing at you so shamelessly, you don't appreciate it, and now you dare to frame me like this and pour dirty water on my mountains.
Is there anyone like you? Is it true that when I leave you there will be no woman?
"I said, everyone, let's not talk about it."
Shu Tianxiang stood up at this time, interrupted this conversation and said to the man in the trench coat.
"Sir, I am kind enough to let you take shelter from the rain here, and I hope you will not make everyone frightened. You just come and take shelter from the rain and rest your feet, and when the rain stops, you all have to go, so there is no need to speculate, there is no need for this. ”
After a brief pause, Shu Tianxiang quickly smiled again.
"But it's almost noon, you should all be hungry, right? Or I'll prepare something to eat for you, whether it's delicious or not, and you'll be full. ”
"Then I'm going to bother Mr. Shu!" Chu Mufeng said with a smile, glanced at the man in the trench coat with deep meaning before leaving, and then turned around and walked away.
"Good!"
Jiang Yi and Chu Mufeng came outside, looking at the heavy rain in Thunderbolt, she looked left and right with some worry, and only whispered after making sure that no one was listening.
"Brother Chu, did you say that the murderer would really be here?"
"This ......" Chu Mufeng did not answer directly, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.
"Alas, it's all my fault, if I hadn't invited you to Yanqingshan, I wouldn't have encountered such an accident. If you really meet that murderer, don't worry, I'll be the first to rush out! Jiang Yi looked at Chu Mufeng's side face and whispered.
"Huh!"
When Chu Mufeng heard this kind of childish and immature words, he couldn't help but smile, raised his right hand casually, patted Jiang Yi's head, and pretended to naturally take it back in her blushing.
"Don't worry, if there is a murderer, I will also stand in front of you, don't forget my identity, but a man with a gun, whoever dares to commit murder, will be shot directly!"
That being said, the atmosphere of the whole courtyard is still a bit dull.
……
"This damn Su Mu! What are you talking about, the murderer is hiding here, arousing everyone's suspicion! You said you came to shelter from the rain, but what do you want to do to make things so complicated and troublesome? But is it said that the police officers in the small town under the mountain have begun to assemble? If that were the case, would they go into the mountains and search now? ”
"Probably not, they are all pampered officials, how could they brave the rain to enter the mountains."
Yan Hui cursed secretly in his heart, thinking of being provoked by Chu Mufeng for no reason, he was immediately full of anger.
"It's noon now, and I don't know when this rain will stop, if you brave the heavy rain to escape, it will definitely arouse suspicion!"
What should be done?
Wait, murderer!
Suddenly, Yan Hui's eyes lit up, and he had a plan, it's better to do this!
