Chapter Twenty-Three: Discovering the Passage
The bold font catches the eye of the trio.
Underneath the caption is a black-and-white photograph of three men and a woman standing together, smiling faces and holding champagne in their hands.
Tang Yao recognized three of them as a female conductor, a conductor and a deputy conductor, and as for the remaining one, his face was painted completely black with a black pen, giving people a creepy chill.
There is a small line underneath the photo: three crew members were brutally killed, and only one survived.
On the side was a detailed report on the case, Tang Yao quickly scanned it, probably saying that a mysterious murderer slipped into the car and brutally killed the members of the crew, and the only survivor escaped because he was preparing lunch for the guests.
"Look! There seems to be something else under the newspaper! Suddenly, Yun Siyao shouted, and everyone looked and found that it was another photo.
In the center of the photograph, a man on one knee with a sparkling diamond ring in his hand is proposing to a slender girl who covers her mouth in surprise and her eyes sparkle while surrounded by a clapping and cheering crowd.
Everything looked so harmonious, except that the face of the man who proposed was blacked out with a marker like the previous photo.
Next to the photo, there is also a wedding ring.
"That girl...... It seems to be a female flight attendant! Yun Siyao exclaimed.
"I remember when you say that, too." Yan Qianqi touched her beard and said, "That female flight attendant does seem to be wearing a ring on her hand!" ”
Tang Yao touched his chin and said, "So she's getting married?" Married to the one who survived the cabin crew? ”
Almost at the same time as Tang Yao said this, the faces of the three people changed together.
"Could it be that the surviving flight attendant is the murderer? He found out that the female flight attendant was sleeping with different men at the same time, and killed her in anger? Yun Siyao instantly came up with an idea.
"What about the others?" Tang Yao asked.
"Probably...... Maybe the remaining two accidentally broke through the scene of the murderer and were killed by the murderer together! ”
"It shouldn't be that simple." Yan Qianqi came to a conclusion.
"I think so too." Tang Yao echoed, "The police are not stupid, and do you remember? According to reports, the male flight attendant escaped by preparing lunch in the kitchen, but the murderer was at the front of the car! So one person is left with a strong alibi! ”
After listening to Tang Yao's words, Yun Siyao thought about it and felt very reasonable.
"So who is the murderer? What is the role of the surviving one? Is it just an ordinary lucky person? And why does the game of reincarnation tell us this? Will this help us in our tasks? She asked a whole bunch of questions.
At this time, Yun Siyao's mind was full of doubts, she had always thought that her IQ was higher than ordinary people, but she had no idea in front of this strange game.
Tang Yao and Yan Qianqi, who were on the other side, were also thinking, for a long time, Yan Qianqi chuckled lightly and said, "What's the use of thinking about this now?" Let's think about how to get to the station safely. ”
The other two quickly agreed, and the three searched the lounge for another while, but found nothing.
"Let's go back." Yan Qianqi sighed, "There shouldn't be any clues here, and the time is almost up." ”
"Hmm." Tang Yao nodded, but there was a deep uneasiness in his heart, the reincarnation game gave them so many clues, it couldn't just be for them to listen to the story, what was the meaning of those photos? Where is the murderer?
With doubts in their hearts, the three of them put away the newspaper and ring and returned to the front of the car.
Yan Qianqi looked at his watch and said, "Everyone concentrate on the side of the road, and you should be able to see the fork in the road to the station in five minutes at most." ”
Yun Siyao answered, looking intently at the side of the road, while Tang Yao turned around, and then secretly took off the ring on the female flight attendant's hand.
He had a gut feeling that this ring would definitely come in handy.
Time passed minute by minute, and the tall green trees around them passed quickly, like swaying and dancing fairies, shaking people's hearts uneasy.
Tang Yao leaned against the wall, looking at the changing light and shadow on the floor, a little melancholy for a while.
An hour ago, he was just an average high school student.
But now, everything has changed.
"What are you thinking?" A voice interrupted his thoughts.
Looking up, it was Yan Qianqi's wrinkled face.
"Elder Yan." Tang Yao shouted.
Yan Qianqi nodded, walked to Tang Yao's side, he glanced at Yun Siyao not far away, and said in a low voice, "Do you remember when I asked you to help me before?" ”
"I naturally remember it in the next, but it's just ...... Elder Yan, as an evolutionary, you can't die in front of the kid no matter what. Tang Yao said with a smile.
Yan Qianqi also smiled, "Just in case." ”
After that, he pulled Tang Yao to another carriage, his expression began to become serious, and said: "What I want you to do is very simple, if I die in front of you, and you happen to survive, go to Yan's house to find my son, and say to him: 'The golden apple is buried in the shadow of noon, the password is five-four-three-seven-eighty-two, and leave immediately with your family.'" Don't worry, they'll give you a reward. ”
Tang Yao thought about it and readily agreed.
Seeing this, Yan Qianqi was also slightly relieved, and at this time, Yun Siyao's shout happened to be heard in the distance.
"I saw it! I see it! The passage is just ahead! ”
Tang Yao stood up suddenly, only to see that five or six hundred meters in front of them, there was a fork in the loop that merged into the ring track!
Almost the moment he heard Yun Siyao's shout, Yan Qianqi ran towards the braking device, he was very fast, not at all like a dying old man, after coming to the carriage, he pulled down the emergency braking device without the slightest hesitation.
In an instant, a piercing voice rang out!
"Squeak—"
The wheels were locked under the control of the brakes, and a row of dazzling sparks were rubbed between the wheels and the rails, and the huge train roared sharply like an old cow on a tether, and then slowly pulled to a halt.
"It's now!" Yan Qianqi shouted, pulled out his pistol and smashed the front glass of the car, and jumped down, followed by Yun Siyao and Tang Yao!
However, within a few steps, a roar of anger and hatred rang out behind the three of them!
Tang Yao looked back, and was suddenly frightened!
I saw that the pitch-black steel monster was like the Hulk in the movie, and it tore a crack directly on the roof of the car! And then jump out of it!
Its huge body slammed into the ground, and two shallow pits of cracking appeared on the dry dirt floor in an instant, and the dust rose high, like a storm of yellow sand!
"Roar!!
The monster roared in the sky and strode straight after the three of them!
