When they came to Wan Jie's side, Yu Siqi didn't even need the latter's reminder to easily know why she called them over.

After all, from their point of view, Wan Jie's vicinity was just a slightly raised mound of dirt. Now, from the perspective of Wan Jie herself, it is obvious that there seems to be something buried under those mounds.

After Father An and Yu Siqi were in place, Wan Jie directly used the metal plates she found as temporary shovels to dig up those suspicious mounds one by one.

The oval, egg-shaped object soon appeared in front of their eyes, followed by broken glass shards, and a broken parachute. When the entire mound was leveled, Yu Siqi deduced that it should be some kind of survival device used to escape. Considering that there were no traces of 'living people' or 'corpses' inside, combined with the broken windshield, Yu Siqi believed that most of the people inside should have fled before the fire spread.

And this idea of his has also been widely recognized by others.

"So, what are you going to do, Father? Do you want to continue the search, or do you want to go back the way you came? ”

Wan Jie threw aside the used metal plate, patted the dirt on her hand and said.

"I'd love to go back the way I came, because there's nothing worth exploring here. However, reason tells me that this is not an easy matter. ”

Father An stepped over Wan Jie's shoulder, looked at the woods behind her, and said, "Judging from the clues that are known so far, most of the people who originally stayed in the survival warehouse were lucky enough to escape. However, this indirectly raises the question, why would he or she choose this forest as the first escape route? ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Father?"

Wan Jie glanced back at the woods and said, "There are many woods like this around here, and there is nothing wrong with the other party running into the woods in a hurry after such an accident, right?" ”

"There's no truth to what you're saying, but is there a possibility, I mean, it's not a definite fact. That is, after the fall accident, there was no large-scale explosion and fire here for the first time? ”

Fr. Ann's hypothesis leads the crowd in a new direction, and if we deduce from his hypothesis, it is indeed possible.

"So, what do you mean?"

Yu Siqi seemed to understand what Father An meant, and he looked back in the direction he had come. Though the brook had turned into a dry shoal, it was still well flowing before they came.

"As a good student, you've gradually started to keep up with me."

Father An nodded to Siqi with satisfaction, and at this time, Wan Jie also roughly understood what Father An wanted to express.

"What the priest means is that the other party can go to the creek to get water to put out the fire, right? According to you, it may not be a reasonable choice to venture into the woods. If the fire is too big, then it is not a good idea to burrow into the flammable woods. So why would the other party finally know what you mean, Father. You're actually using this reverse reasoning to persuade us to doubt the choice that the other person has already made, right? What a great technique! ”

Wan Jie smiled, her expression was very pleasant.

"Where, where. I'm just trying to say that proper skepticism helps us think more rationally. Of course, I certainly can't pretend that I'm not being called a 'barb' by others. Speaking of which, it was a memorable past, but it didn't seem like the time to talk about it. Well, are you interested in going to that forest with me to find out what kind of reason will make the other party do a series of abnormal acts? ”

Father Ann's invitation was impossible to refuse, and the three of them, having determined their bearings, headed for the woods. In the process of traveling, Yu Siqi's brain began to work unobediently again.

In fact, Father An doesn't need to make such an explanation, and Yu Siqi and they will agree. But he did it anyway, and in a rather tactful and humorous way, and I have to say that the priest was indeed a very thoughtful and 'provocative' man.

Yu Siqi even fantasized that the priest shouldn't actually engage in a side job such as playing the piano, a capable person like him who is so eloquent can definitely make a lot of money when he talks about cross talk on stage.

"Are you thinking about any girl?"

Father An, who gently pushed Yu Siqi, had stopped at this moment, only to see him point to the footprints on the ground, then raised his head and said, "There is still a slight smell of oil on it, there is no doubt that it is the target we want to track." Judging from the size of the footprints, the other party is at least a man wearing a size 44, and his height should be between 1.85 and 1.90 meters. If you are old, you will not be less than 30 years old. ”

"Can you estimate that?"

Yu Siqi looked shocked, but the next scene made him feel as if he was a fool. It turned out that the reason why Father An was so sure was actually very simple, the other party was actually directly above them, but he just didn't notice it at the first time.

As he watched the man hiding at the top of the tree trunk staring at all of them with wide eyes, Father Ann tilted his head and asked, "Why do you have to go up so high?" ”

"There's something around here, chasing me."

The man looked around nervously, and then said, "My name is Qi Sheng, you can also call me Guangsheng, because that's what my nickname is." ”

"Whether you're telling the truth or not, let's go down first. With us here, I don't think anything else is going to chase you. ”

Wan Jie frowned slightly, and at the same time looked around and said.

"Well, well. I guess you won't do anything to me anyway, I'm just a normal driver. ”

Qi Sheng, who was still skeptical, slid down the straight trunk after glancing at Wan Jie. His technique was so clumsy that when he put his feet on the ground, his hands had been pierced by sharp wooden thorns.

"Get those barbs out sooner, or you might get the wound infected."

Father Ann kindly reminded him, then turned and began to walk back. Yu Siqi, who was following behind the priest, looked at Qi Sheng, who was desperately sucking the barbs that pierced his fingers, and asked tentatively: "You said you are a driver, right?" Don't tell me you drove that crashed bus. ”

"It was indeed opened by me, and I was ordered by Director Bao to bring Mr. Song to look for you, I think you should have guessed this a long time ago."

When Qi Sheng finished saying this, he hurriedly added because of Father An's sudden turn: "Again, I'm just a driver, and nothing else has anything to do with me." ”

At the same time, Gong Chen, who stayed in the cave, looked at the fire that was gradually extinguishing because he did not add firewood in time, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Just as he was almost losing patience, the sound of footsteps outside the cave came to his ears. Immediately afterwards, there was a very rapid gasp, and a breathless greeting: "Hello, I am the executioner this time, Mr. Song Song, this place is too high."

"Don't tell me you came up on foot?"

Regarding Mr. Song's arrival, Gong Chen's expression was very cold.

"Originally, there was a car, but there was a little accident on the way. If you're not in a hurry, I'd like to take a little rest before going down. ”

After calming his breath a little, Mr. Song, who straightened his glasses, sat directly opposite Gong Chen, and at the same time asked him a question: "Of course, if it is convenient, I hope to be able to ask you some irrelevant questions." ”

"Is this a censorship?"

Noticing that the other party had taken out a notepad, Gong Chen asked coldly.

"It's just a routine. Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you and your wife, I promise. ”

When Mr. Song said this, the light of the fire happened to be reflected on his round lenses, casting an unpleasant shadow on his whole person.

Gong Chen turned his back, clenched his fists hard, and said, "You ask, I must 'know everything, say everything'." ”
