Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Man Who Strayed Into a Cave in the Rock

In the damp and cold burrow, the man walked deep and shallow, and he didn't know which direction he should go, just blindly searched without a goal.

This search not only exhausts the man, but even plunges him into irritability and fear, from which there is no way to get out unless he finds the right path.

"Why am I so unlucky every time? It's okay to be ridiculed by those people usually, and you'll fall into such a situation when you come out to play! As if God was always working against him, the man felt that his hands and feet were numb, not because of exertion, but because of the anger and restlessness in his heart.

Raising a hand and clenching it into a fist, the man stopped, trying to calm his mood, at least he wasn't dead, was he? There is hope if there is no death, so many people upstairs? As long as you find the exit, you can be rescued safely. The man thought he was still in the basement of the treacherous house.

But he was wrong, he had strayed badly off his bearings, and had reached the edge of the cliff. The rocks around the body have not changed at all from when they first entered, and the man always wanders in the same place. None of those winding passages could be navigated, and almost every time he was about to touch the end, the cold rock would give him a heavy, brutal blow.

'Where else can I go?' It's not those rocky passages, it's supposed to be a different place! The man thought that if it had been built by the owner of the treacherous house, there must have been a special mark, or else he would have lost his way in this case.

The man looked at the top of the rock, where there were no signs to relax, and the walls around him were covered with green moss, which he really couldn't see until he cut it out.

But the presence of plants means that there is water and air, and after wandering here for so many hours, didn't he not suffocate? If there is air, a place where water can enter, why can't he find a way out? Even the slightest crack is fine! At least get him to call for help!

Filled with despair and unable to lose a glimmer of hope, it was really torturous, the man bent down, his hands clutched in his abdomen, and crouched between the damp moss and the ground as if his stomach hurt.

He felt a chill behind him, he was only wearing a sweater, the moisture had seeped into the autumn coat, the man was cold at the moment, and a little temperature was a luxury for him. Suddenly thrown here from that warm space, even the white breath exhaled was incredulous and terrifying.

His lips had already turned purple from the cold, and his fist-clenched hands had to be very hard to control the pulsation of the nerves. In this state, the man feels that he would rather be teased by his companions outside!

Fortunately, my mind is still clear and I can still think about problems, and that's the only thing to be happy about now. The empty stomach pouch continued to protest, he was already in a bad stomach, coupled with the invasion of the cold, and now he was experiencing convulsive pain from his stomach to his lower stomach, but the man thought that he could still bear it, so he didn't pay attention to it, and still tried to think about how to get out.

He has never been a person to give up easily, and the blows and tribulations have happened to him a lot, but he has persevered, but now there is an additional threat from his life, so the despair has also increased a little.

"It's probably night!" The man glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was already more than eight o'clock in the night, "Have I been walking for so long?" It seems that I have already walked all the passages here, so let's decide whether to wait where I am or continue to search! ”

The man's tone was encouraging, and he took out a coin from his sweater pocket, put it on his thumb, and continued to say in a soft voice: "Keep walking if you face up, stay where you are!" ”

The exhaled white air flew upwards along with the coin, and the pupils that flashed with a distress glare fixed on the direction where the coin fell, until it was held back in the palm of his hand.

'Let's take a look now!' My luck! The words in his heart made his heart beat restlessly and violently, and the hesitation stiffened the fingers that were about to move away from the coin, and the movements became extremely slow.

"Don't use this stupid method, I know where the pathway is!" A firm woman's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the man turned his head violently, and surprise flashed in his heart in an instant.

A woman he was a complete stranger to stood in front of him, her face and hair as dirty as his, but there was a sparkle in her pupils, a steady, unrelenting light.

The sleeves of her hands were rolled up high, the down jacket on her body had been unbuttoned, and she was striding in the direction of the man, and her mouth continued: "I said you! Accidentally fell into such a place, we thought you were an accomplice to the murderer? Stand up now, squatting there will freeze! ”

Before the woman's voice fell, the down jacket full of body temperature had already been draped on the man's shoulders, a kind of warmth that had never been felt before, as if it was more comfortable than the air conditioner and heater at home. I don't know why, the man inexplicably feels that he can trust the person in front of him unconditionally.

Yes, it's that kind of unconditional trust, because the light in her pupils makes the man not feel the slightest malice. For the first time, the man's body moved beyond the thoughts in his head, and after standing up, he tightened the down jacket on his body and asked, "The clothes were given to me, so what do you do?" ”

"I'm okay in a short time, hurry up and follow me!" After the woman finished speaking, she strode in the direction she came, and the man hurriedly trotted behind him, and his soaked slippers stepped on the ground with a fluttering sound.

The two of them had just turned the first corner when the woman suddenly stretched out her arm to stop the man who was hurrying forward behind her, almost causing him to fall.

"What's wrong?!"

"Someone ahead is passing through the way up, let's wait a minute."

"But if someone has someone, just let him help! Maybe it's the missing hostess! "The man's mind is still stuck in the daytime, and he has no idea what will happen after the evening!

"Don't ask too much now, someone will tell you when you get to the top."

The two people were silent, the footsteps from behind the rock wall were gradually approaching their positions, and the woman stopped the man's hand and passed to the side of the rock wall behind him little by little, forcing the bodies of the two people to lean against the rock wall together.

After a while, sure enough, a tall figure appeared at the edge of the passage not far away, and the figure did not leave immediately, but stood there and gasped for a moment, and it could be clearly seen that he was still holding another person.

After the man behind the woman saw the face of the person in the distance clearly, he almost exclaimed, he covered his mouth tightly, and said in the woman's ear in the smallest voice: "Isn't that Yan Muheng?" He seems to be holding Mr. Actor! ”

"Shhhh Don't ask questions, just follow me! After a few moments, the woman responded, moving her feet again. The man still followed her step by step, desperately ignoring the aching toes and stomach, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The two of them soon approached the entrance, and the man only realized at this time that he had come here many times before, and it was entirely because of his lack of observation that he did not find the entrance.

It turned out that in the smooth corner of the rock, there was a small piece of raised stone, which was arranged regularly upward, and the upward side was not covered with moss, and it was worn quite badly, and it was a little bit of a brain to know that there must be someone who climbed here often, and the entrance and exit must be on top of these stones.

Thinking that he missed so many opportunities to go out, men's regret can't be expressed in words, sometimes people are stupid and really have to suffer a lot, fortunately the physique is not bad, otherwise fainting or losing consciousness will be even more unlucky.

There was no time for the man to sigh more, he stretched out his frozen fingers and followed the woman to climb upwards with all his might, and the two of them gradually entered the upper room one after the other.

The entrance and exit were on the floor of the room, and the planks that had shielded it had shattered and been abandoned. After the man came up, he looked around and said, "I didn't fall from here, I was on the edge of the recreation room on the first floor......"

"I know, but it's supposed to be blocked over there. The guy who blocked the passage must still be among everyone now, you must meet Xiao Meng and Grandpa Liu immediately, I can't protect you for a long time. The woman's voice was low, but she could still be heard clearly in the room.

Only then did the man remember and ask her, "Who are you?" ”

When the question came out of her lips, the woman immediately looked at the man with a strange look and said, "Are you stupid! I've been with you for so long during the day, and I don't even know who I am? I'm a little charm! ”

"What? No! This, the little charm is so beautiful......"

"Are you trying to say that I took off my makeup and was so ugly that you couldn't even recognize it?" The angry gaze stared back at the man, maybe no matter what kind of woman she was, she would still care about her beauty and ugliness.

She continued: "My real name is Mei Xiaoxiao, not a little charm, a policewoman. I'm telling you, there have been several homicides here, and you've been missing for so long? It is inevitable that some people will suspect that you are a murderer, so after you return to everyone's side later, you must tell the truth to Grandpa Liu, you know? Lian Fan! ”

"Oh... Me, I got it! When Lian Fan heard the words policewoman and homicide, he couldn't help but start flustering again, and even his speech became stammering.

At this point in the incident, we finally got Xiaoxiao and Lian Fan back, and now the people who are still in a state of disappearance are Shu Xue, the restaurant chef, another scar man, and Xixi who was sent out, and of course there are hidden characters that may exist in the house.

Among them, the hostess of the treacherous house is a key existence, she is like a bridge between the past and the present, running through everything, as well as the secrets of most people. When we reveal the secret events hidden in all the suspicious characters one after another, the value of the hostess's existence can also be reflected.

But when I say this, it doesn't mean that the hostess necessarily exists, she is an important clue, but in what form will her existence be manifested? That's another story.

To get back to the point, at present, our attention should be focused on the survivors inside the house, extending from the survivors to the periphery little by little, things are still in a fog, there is no urgency, the most important thing is to prevent the possibility of the murderer first, and save his life in order to advance the progress of the case.

Xiaoxiao was originally chasing the restaurant chef, but she was lured into the room she had just entered with Lian Fan by the chef, and fell into a trap that had been opened beforehand.

The bottom of the entrance and exit is full of rocks, and the distance to the bottom of the fall is not short, if you don't climb and plant directly from the top down, it is easy to hit your head on the rock wall and cause casualties. Even if you don't bump into it, it's not a good thing to fall directly to the bottom.

But the person who set the trap ignored her little skill, she was a policewoman who had been trained in martial arts, and she could usually beat Xie Yunmeng down, how could she be suppressed by such a place?

At the moment of falling, Mei Xiaoxiao immediately took countermeasures, his head quickly deviated to avoid the rocks that could cause damage, and one hand grabbed the rock block that protruded from the edge, although he still slid down for a while, and there were a few scratches on his palm, but Xiao Xiao successfully stabilized his body.

After stabilizing the center of gravity, Xiaoxiao immediately counterattacked, calculated the distance, borrowed one foot on the rock wall, let the body flip 180 degrees, and kicked the other foot upwards violently, kicking firmly at the bottom of the wooden board that had not yet been closed, so frightened that the person who was about to seal the entrance and exit above suddenly collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, the slippers on her little feet no longer knew where they had flown to, and she used her two hands to stabilize her body, and the soles of her socks, which were only wearing socks, kicked the planks on it again and again, until the latch broke and the whole plank flew out in all parts.

Although the soles of her feet were injured and her ankles were covered with abrasions, she still managed to fight back and return to the room through the gap, and when the angry woman was about to beat the person above, the chef had already run away without even a shadow.

It's useless to chase it now, anyway, the gap in the basement has been opened, and Mei Xiaoxiao simply went back to look for the missing person, but she was lucky to find Lian Fan, of course, including her lost slippers, which are not far from under the entrance.

After the two of them entered the secret corridor in the house, although there was still no air conditioning, it was much warmer than the rock passage below, and even the sails were restored.

They quickened their pace to find Xie Yunmeng and Liu Qiaopu, at this moment, Xiao Xiao didn't know that Xie Yunmeng had revealed his identity, and Liu Qiaopu also took everyone back to the Blue Tower. She also thought that Xie Yunmeng was outside the treacherous house, and the others were inside the entertainment room and dining room of the main house, so she took Lian Fan into the main house.

In the recreation room on the first floor of the main house, the layout has changed in some places, and in the dining room, there is an unexpected person waiting for someone to find her and take her back to the rest of the people.
