Chapter 117: There is a fire pit ahead
"What?!"
Yanagi Buhui was taken aback, stepped on it suddenly, and the Dream Seeker braked sharply, dragging out two long tire friction traces behind him, and white smoke faintly rose from the tires.
"Tao Rumeng is dead?!"
The Dream Seeker stopped, and Yanagishita didn't even have time to untie the seat belt on his body, so he shouted anxiously: "What the hell is going on?!" When did this happen?! ”
A series of questions not only frightened the little fat man on the other side of the phone into not knowing what to say, but even Ye Mengfei and Xiao Zhi around him were stunned.
Or Ye Mengfei calmed down first, "Yanagi, don't worry!" You're in such a hurry, you're going to scare the little fat man! ”
After speaking, she shouted into her mobile phone: "Chubby, you say slowly, what happened?!" ”
Hearing her say this, the little chubby over there seems to be a lot calmer.
"Sister Mengfei, it's like this!"
The voice on the phone was obviously much calmer, "Just now, a few people came to the hotel to look for my brother, because my brother was not there, so they found me." I didn't know who they were, but as soon as I opened the door, they broke into the room and startled me, thinking I had encountered robbers and bandits. Later, they told me that they were from the local police station and had come to investigate. ”
"They're looking for Yanagishita?! Also investigating?! What are you investigating?! ”
Ye Mengfei said as she looked at Yanagi Buhui with strange eyes.
Yanagi Buhui also listened extremely embarrassed, looking inexplicable.
"Yes! I think it's weird, too! ”
The little fat man also said helplessly on the phone: "At that time, they also asked, you live alone in this house?!" Is there anyone else?! I said, I'm the only one living in this house! Sister Meng Fei, do you know? I just sent Xiaoyanzi back yesterday afternoon, and she said that she had a lot of things to deal with and that she couldn't continue to play here. I dropped her off at the station and told her to go back on her own. Fortunately, I sent her back a day earlier, otherwise, they would have freaked her out so suddenly, you say, isn't it, Sister Meng Fei?! ”
"Yes! Be! Don't digress and get down to business! ”
Ye Mengfei replied perfunctorily, pulling back the little fat man's words.
"Got it. I said I lived alone. One of them asked me, "Aren't there two people registered in your room?!" Why is there only one person now?! Sister, they don't seem to believe me. Another person also went to the bathroom to take a look, for fear that there was a person hiding inside. I said, that's my girlfriend, she's a little unwell, so I'll go home first! They looked at me a few times and didn't say anything more. ”
The men muttered for a while, and one of them came up to me and sat me down on the bed and said he wanted to ask me a few words. However, sister, they are obviously like interrogating prisoners, very unhappy! ”
The little fat man on the phone was visibly a little indignant.
"What did they ask you?!"
While talking to the little fat man, Ye Mengfei glanced at Yanagi Buhui and motioned for him to continue driving and go!
Yanagishita nodded.
The Dream Quest continued to sped down the highway.
"Two of them were standing in the doorway, one of them moved a chair and sat across from me, and there was another person standing behind him, and another one standing by the window. I suddenly felt as if I had been kidnapped! I was really scared, sister! I've never been so big before! Really, it scared the hell out of me! ”
Even from the phone, Ye Mengfei could hear that the little fat man still had palpitations now.
She wanted to interrupt the little fat man's rambling report, but she thought about it again and again, held back, and didn't speak.
"Then they asked me what my relationship was with my brother, when I came, where I had been lately, and what I had done. I don't think we've done anything illegal or undisciplined, so what don't we dare to say. So, I told them about our entry into Peach Blossom Valley together. ”
"And then?!"
Ye Mengfei knew that the key information was coming.
Then, as if they had agreed, they looked at each other and smiled, very cunning. As soon as I saw it, I thought, it's broken, there must be something bad, look at their smiles so weird! Sure enough, they began to ask in detail what we had done in Peach Blossom Valley, how long we had stayed, what kind of waiting we had encountered, and a lot of information. I didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds, so I answered them all. Then, I asked them, what the hell is going on, so mysterious?! Guess what they said, Sister Meng Fei?! ”
"So what's more?! They will definitely say that Tao Rumeng is dead, and the body was found in the mouth of the Peach Blossom Valley! Isn't it?! ”
Ye Mengfei said lightly, expressionless in her tone.
"Wow! Sister Meng Fei, you are so smart! Do you even know what they say?! ”
The little fat man on the other side of the phone shouted in surprise, and Yanagi Buhui could even feel that the little fat man might have jumped up from the chair all of a sudden.
"And then?!"
Ye Mengfei shook her head angrily, looking helpless, while looking at Liu Shita Buhui, she smiled dryly, and continued to ask the little fat man.
Then, as soon as I heard it, I was in a hurry! I said we came back the night before yesterday, Tao Rumeng died today, and it has nothing to do with us! Besides, we are not necessarily the only ones who have been to Peach Blossom Valley! ”
What the little fat man said was straightforward and impeccable.
But Yanagi Buhui knew that when facing those people at the local police station, the little fat man's performance was definitely not as calm and straightforward as he was on the phone.
"And then?!"
Ye Mengfei frowned.
"And then, they got up and left!"
"That's leaving?!"
Ye Mengfei asked in surprise.
"Yes, after asking, they left!"
The little fat man replied very simply, "However, when they were leaving, they asked my brother when he would come back, and I said that I didn't know, I said that I was my brother's subordinate, my brother was my boss, and the whereabouts of the boss were inconvenient for my subordinates to inquire!" Sister Meng Fei, you say, is what I said good?! ”
"Well, that's good, it's wonderful, it's croaking!"
Ye Mengfei coped a little impatiently, "What's next?" Gone?! ”
"They said, by the way, Tao Rumeng didn't die today, but the body was found today. They came here just for routine investigation and told me not to be nervous. Sister Meng Fei, do you think I'm going to be nervous?! What a joke! ”
The little fat on the phone was actually a little proud.
"I don't think you will!"
"That's it! Then, I asked my brother again, and I said I really didn't know. So, they said that now that the case is in a critical period of investigation, they should not go out and walk around if they have nothing to do. Still, when my brother comes back, don't move around anymore, just in the hotel room, waiting to be investigated! And then, it's really gone! This time it's true! I listened to their footsteps disappear, and secretly pushed open the door to look at it, and sure enough, they were all gone, but at the end of the corridor, there was a person standing there, and I don't know if they left someone to watch over us. ”
"Nothing else out of the ordinary, right?!"
Ye Mengfei thought for a moment and asked.
"Nothing else! But... ”
The little fat man suddenly hesitated, and then stopped.
"But what?!"
Ye Mengfei's eyes lit up, she knew that every time such a turn occurred, there would always be some useful information.
"However, I feel like I'm under house arrest."
"What's going on?! Not allowed to go out?! Someone guarding the door?! ”
Ye Mengfei was a little surprised.
"Not really! It's okay to go out! It's just that you can't go out of the hotel door. ”
The little fat man paused, "After they leave, I want to go out for a walk and see if I can hear some more detailed information outside, such as gossip, gossip or something." However, as soon as I arrived at the front desk, I was stopped by someone. Said that during the investigation of the case, we need to stay in the hotel and cooperate with the investigation! I took a look, and it seems that there is more than one person! I didn't go out again, and when I got back to my room, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I quickly called you! ”
"Sister Meng Fei! When are you coming back?! ”
The little fat man's tone was obviously a little anxious.
"Chubby, don't worry! We're on our way back. ”
While driving the car, Yanagishita Fuhui shouted into his mobile phone: "Look at the current situation, we should be able to return to the hotel before dark!" Just stay in your room, don't move yet, and wait for us to get back!" ”
"Okay, brother!"
The little fat man on the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety!" ”
"Got it! It's okay to hang up! ”
Yanagishita Fuhui yelled into his phone.
"Wait, Chubby!"
Ye Mengfei suddenly stopped and said, "Little Fatty, have you told others about what we came out this time?!" ”
"No! I said I don't know, I know you're going out, but I don't know where you're going, when you're leaving, when you're coming back! ”
Chubby hesitated for a moment and said timidly.
"Not bad, not bad! Chubby! ”
Ye Mengfei praised Xiao Pang and continued to ask: "In addition to these people from the police station, do other people know about our whereabouts?!" ”
"If you don't tell anyone else, no one else knows!"
The little fat man paused, "Sister, you also know, I don't know anyone here, and no one cares about me, who am I talking to?!" ”
"Got it! Well done! Chubby! ”
Ye Mengfei nodded, "Listen to your brother, stay quietly in the hotel room, wait for us to go back, don't be afraid!" It's all right! I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, right?! ”
"Yes!"
Yanagishita Buhui seemed to be able to see the little fat man on the other side of the phone and nodded firmly, "Then I'll hang up, sister!?" ”
"Hmm!"
The phone hung up.
There was a sudden silence in the Dream Seeker.
In addition to the sound of everyone's breathing and the roar of the engine, the only thing in the air was the wind noise caused by the Dream Seeker speeding through the air.
Half an hour later.
"Meng Fei, what do you think?!"
Yanagi Buhui twisted his head slightly, glanced at Ye Mengfei, and asked softly.
"It's a mess! Can't figure it out! ”
Ye Mengfei muttered two sentences, and shook her head helplessly, looking helpless.
"What about you?!"
She asked rhetorically, "What do you think about that?!" ”
"I suddenly felt that my thoughts had been turned upside down again! However, I don't care anymore! ”
Yanagishita Buhui looked extremely calm, although his tone was also a little depressed.
"What do you mean by that?!"
Ye Mengfei was a little puzzled by Yanagi's unfavorable words.
"I always thought that as someone who was chosen to be a Holy Guardian, he would never die."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Do you think, if the Holy Guardian Envoy dies, then, is there one less Holy Guardian?!" The twelve holy guardians, one less, one less guard, one less security. This is not very important, the important thing is that without a Holy Guardian Envoy, can the Heavenly Seal be activated?! ”
After saying that, he shook his head slightly, "Seriously, I'm a little confused!" ”
"Well, you have a point!"
Ye Mengfei listened carefully to Yanagi Buhui's words, and nodded slightly: "If this is the case, Tao Rumeng's death will be a bit strange!" ”
"And! Originally, we had a major breakthrough from Xiaozhi here, and we thought that we could find Tao Rumeng in the stone room in Peach Blossom Mountain, but now it seems that there is no need! ”
Yanagishita Buhui slapped the steering wheel vigorously and said hatefully, "What are we going to do next, but we really have no clue, and there is no clue at all!" ”
"Actually, I think that perhaps, Tao Rumeng's death is another opportunity!"
Ye Mengfei's eyes lit up and said.
"Huh?! You're optimistic! ”
Yanagishita Buhui was surprised by Ye Mengfei's words, "Then tell me, what should I do next?!" ”
"I think we have to look at Tao Rumeng's death scene first, to see how Tao Rumeng died, and why he died. After all, so far, we haven't even seen Tao Rumeng's face, whether alive or dead, we haven't seen it, which can't but be said to be a great pity! ”
Ye Mengfei thought for a while and said, "Especially you, she is your right-hand man in the future, so if it's gone all of a sudden, won't you lose your right-hand man?!" ”
"Yes! That's what I'm thinking, too! ”
Yanagi Buhui sighed, "Die before you get out of the school, and the hero will be full of tears!" ”
"So, after we go back this time, we have to find a way to see Tao Rumeng's corpse, and at least we have to go and pay our respects up close, right?!"
Ye Mengfei looked at Yanagi Buhui and said.
"Sister Mengfei, you say, will they wait for us to go back and put us under house arrest and not let us go out?!"
Xiao Zhi in the back suddenly interjected.
"Huh?!"
Yanagi Buhui and Ye Mengfei were both stunned.
"What Xiao Zhi said is very likely. A problem indeed! ”
Ye Mengfei nodded.
"So, shall we go back?!"
Yanagishita asked tentatively.
"I'm going to go back!"
Ye Mengfei replied without thinking about it, "You didn't hear the little fat man say, people are just waiting for you to go back!" You say, what will they think if you don't go back?! ”
"What else can you think?! Absconded in fear of crime! ”
Yanagishita Buhui smiled bitterly.
"So, even if we know we're going to be under house arrest if we go back, we have to go back!"
Ye Mengfei smiled slightly.
"Knowing that there was a fire pit in front of me, I had to jump down without hesitation! What kind of dedication is this?! ”
Yanagishita smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Anyway, we didn't kill it, what are you afraid of?! Go back, go back! ”
He thought for a moment, straightened his chest, raised his head, and stepped on the accelerator deeply.
The Dream Seeker roared and slammed out.
