Chapter 858: It's Too Late
Walking in front of the mural, there is a long corridor with a small two-story building opposite.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan looked at each other, but there was no one guarding them.
Probably everyone went to the front hall to help.
Moreover, ordinary people are not allowed to come in, and the disciples are very conscious, and no one thinks that others will break in.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan walked into the small building, and looked a bit like an office on this building, which may be a place to deal with the affairs of the temple, but there was no one.
"Let's go upstairs and have a look." Guo Xiang said softly.
Gu Zhennan nodded, took Guo Xiang's hand, and quietly took out the pistol with the other hand and hid it in his sleeve.
On the second floor, there was an open office directly opposite it, with a large desk and a chair behind it, on which seemed to be a person.
But that person was facing away from Guo Xiang and them.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan glanced at each other, stood at the door, and said in English: "I'm sorry, excuse me......"
The man in the chair did not move and did not turn around.
Guo Xiang suddenly had a bad premonition, Gu Zhennan took out the gun and held it in his hand, Guo Xiang pulled his arm tightly.
Walking to the desk, Gu Zhennan pushed the back of the chair.
The chair was a swivel chair, and this push turned around, and there was a person sitting on it with his head lowered, and a black hole full of blood appeared on his head, which frightened Guo Xiang.
"We're late!" Gu Zhennan sighed lightly, "He should be one of the candidates......
"So what now?" Guo Xiang was a little nervous holding Gu Zhennan's hand, to be honest, although he had done a lot of surgery, this kind of scene was still rare.
"Let's go, find the next one, hopefully we can find the next one before those killers." Gu Zhennan said.
"Then he ......" Guo Xiang looked at the man.
"I've been dead for a while." Gu Zhennan looked at it again, "Didn't you bring a camera, take a picture of it, and take it back to Abxin to see." ”
"Good!" Guo Xiang took a deep breath, took the camera out of his bag, and took a picture of the person in the chair.
It was the first time she took a posthumous photo, and she was a little panicked, so she took a casual photo and left in a hurry.
Walking outside the temple, Bashar was waiting for them, "How is it?" He asked.
"Let's go!" Guo Xiang said a word, and quickly got into the car with Gu Zhennan.
Bashar hurriedly drove away, and after a while, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"People are dead, and we're late." Guo Xiang said.
"That'...... Where do we go now? Bashar swallowed and was a little nervous, to be honest, although he had traveled all over the country with many guests, he had never seen a dead person.
"Find the next one." Guo Xiang took out the pattern that looked like earth and gold, and looked upside down, but he didn't see anything.
I regret that I didn't check with Abxin just now about what he has in his hand, so that it can be ruled out.
"Husband, what do you look like about this?" Guo Xiang handed the drawings in his hand to Gu Zhennan.
Gu Zhennan took it and looked at it, "This is gold, right?" ”
"How can you be so sure?" Guo Xiang was surprised, she felt that it looked like soil, piece by piece.
"I think if it's soil, whether it's the West or the East, the first thing that comes to mind is the land, and the land can't be painted like this, isn't this image a tool? Metal tools? Gu Zhennan said.
Guo Xiang really made sense when he heard it, because he could draw, he thought about it a lot, maybe Gu Zhennan was looking at it from the perspective of ordinary people.
Moreover, he used to work in the countryside and later in the oil fields, all of which were working with the land, and perhaps his ideas were more in line with this traditional culture.
"Okay, let's treat it as gold." Guo Xiang nodded, "Gold is in the West, autumn is gold, and autumn is the harvest season." ”
"Bashar, let's go to Xicheng now, and then you can see if there are any temples here that have the meaning of gold, autumn, or harvest." Guo Xiang pointed to the map in his hand and said.
"Good!" Bashar nodded, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the western city.
The west city is much more deserted than the south city, Bashar stopped the car to look at the map, many temples are in the suburbs, the distance is relatively far.
"These temples all have the meaning of autumn and harvest." Bashar pointed to three of the monasteries.
"Then let's go over and see them one by one." Guo Xiang said.
I first searched for the two temples that were relatively close, but I didn't find any clues, and I didn't find anyone who was suspected of being looking for.
So the three of them went to the third temple.
The location of this temple is very remote, the side is the desert area, the temple is also relatively simple, relatively small, the whole is white, and the roof is just golden.
"Will the emissary candidate be in such a place? It seems a little impossible. Bashar was a little disappointed when he saw the temple.
"It's hard to say, haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" Guo Xiang said, "There are some 'sweeping monks' in our country who hide in some temples and do some miscellaneous work, but they are high-ranking monks. ”
Bashar raised his eyebrows, "That's not the ......"
They are monarchy, and the hierarchy is very strict, and it is generally unlikely that there will be a phenomenon of high status and low class.
However, the crown prince also said that they were going to hide, and it was difficult to say.
So you should be in charge of such a small temple, right? It will not be like the guest said "sweeping monk".
The three of them entered the temple and took a general look at it first, but there were few people here, and their arrival attracted the attention of some people.
"What's the matter with you?" Someone stepped forward.
Bashar saluted, "We have something to ask the imakh about. ”
"The Imam has a guest now, please wait." The person who came said.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan glanced at each other, indicating that the imam here was still there, and the killer might not have been able to find him.
The three of them sat outside and waited to listen to the people in the temple chanting.
After waiting for about ten minutes, there was still no one to inform them if the imam was free to see them, Guo Xiang was a little impatient, in case this imam was not, he couldn't waste time here.
Guo Xiang signaled to Bashar, and he willingly stepped forward to ask, "How long will I wait?" Can we meet with the Imam right away? ”
"Wait a minute, I'll ask." Said the people in the temple.
Not long after the man entered, he suddenly screamed loudly.
"Not good!" Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan jumped up suddenly, could it be that the imam's guest just now was the killer?
The three of them hurried to the office.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw that it was a mess, there should have been a fight, and the head of a person dressed in the imam costume was stuffed into a fish tank on the side, and the person who had just come in was so frightened that he sat on the ground and shivered.
The windows were wide open, and the murderer had already run away.
"Quick, pull people out!" Guo Xiang shouted to see if there was any rescue.
Gu Zhennan walked over and grabbed the back collar of the patriarch and lifted it vigorously, lifted the person out, and put him on the ground.
There was a purple strangulation mark on the man's neck, and there was no gunshot wound, probably for fear of alarming others, this place is not easy to hide, so it is better to escape by killing someone silently.
Maybe it's because the killer is different, the means are different, and maybe the killer doesn't like to use guns.
