Chapter 163: The Abominable Murderer
The water from the sprinkler truck stirred up the dust on the ground, causing us to smell the dirt in the air after the rain, and the serial killer must have been alert to the fact that he had been discovered, or maybe this was his habit and took the opportunity of the waterwheel to hide his tracks.
However, he was following someone else, and it was impossible to follow the waterwheel all the time, so we quickly caught up with the waterwheel and finally found the man's breath around the corner of the street.
Lin Ruowei smiled, turned her head and beckoned to us, signaling the person to enter a small alley in front, and we hurriedly followed.
Turning around, we came to a secluded alley, I didn't think that there was such a quiet place a few hundred meters away from the trouble, there was no one in the alley, and the surrounding high-rise buildings blocked the light of the street lamps, making it seem dark here.
The alley is very narrow, two people walking side by side have to keep touching each other, we raised our vigilance and walked slowly, after turning a corner, we found a person leaning diagonally against the corner, it was the old man who was being followed by the killer.
When we got closer, we realized that this old man with a hat on his head turned out to be Professor Li!
I quickly squatted down to look at him, and found that there was blood on the back of his head, and his breathing was a little weak but did not stop, and I hurriedly shouted anxiously, call an ambulance!
Qian Eun-ho took out his mobile phone and called, and we didn't dare to mess with the professor's body, so we could only crouch next to him and try to wake him up, anxious to know why the serial killer was targeting him.
I already have a bad feeling in my heart, but I think that the map of the tomb should be in the professor's office, so it may not have been snatched yet, right?
The professor is in a deep coma, and no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't wake him up.
When the ambulance arrived and asked us about the cause of our old man's injury, several of us looked at each other, but Qian Enhao was still clever and said that he had accidentally fallen.
Thinking about it, if he was knocked unconscious, it would inevitably attract the police, and the serial killer was not something they could catch, plus Lin Yue was present, it was better for us not to alarm the police.
There is no need for the doctor to come to say, we have to follow the professor to the hospital now, his injuries are so serious, how can no one around do it?
Qian Enhao and Yang Ning got into the ambulance, and the three of us girls went out of the alley to find a taxi, and at the same time, I quickly called my uncle and told him about it, he was also startled and said that he would come over immediately.
When we arrived at the hospital, the professor had already been sent to the emergency room, and the doctor said that he had been found to have bruises in his head after examination, and that he had to undergo surgery immediately.
Now we are all blinded, it turns out that the serial killer did not spare his hand, his purpose is to kill people, but I don't know why it didn't work, the professor still has a chance to survive.
My father and uncle arrived at the same time, and when we met, we learned that the professor usually stays at the excavation site, and today I don't know why he came out, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I came out.
When we talked about how he dressed up after meeting the professor, my dad frowned, saying that he was dressed like this to meet someone, but he didn't want to be recognized.
Yes, when we first found out that the serial killer was following an old man, we didn't recognize the old man as a professor, so why did he do that?
Dad looked at me and said, "Where did you find the professor?"
I said that it was in a remote alley, and we were so anxious to see that the professor was injured, so we didn't have time to check the surroundings.
He said that a few of you girls should stay, and I and Qian Enhao Yang Ning will go to that place to take a look.
We all knew that he guessed that the professor should have gone there to look for someone, but he didn't expect that before he could find someone, he was attacked.
After hesitating for a moment, I thought that I might as well follow them to the scene while I was in the hospital, maybe I could help somewhat, so I told my dad.
He thought about it, nodded and said okay, but the hospital can't be empty.
My uncle said that I would be here, and that there would be some of the professor's students in a while, so you don't have to stay here.
That's good, the professor's students must be better than we take care of, and we need to find out who he wants to see in the city now.
We went downstairs together, and when we got outside, we saw Brother Dashan sitting in the car, but there were too many of us, and one car couldn't sit at all, so we had to take separate cars, and my father and two boys went to take a taxi.
Luckily we didn't choose to call the police, otherwise this place would have been full of police by now, right? The professor is not from our local area, he is an archaeological expert sent from above, and it is impossible for the police not to pay attention to it.
After entering the alley, my dad took a closer look, took a few more steps, and found a small door at the end of the place.
The door was like a passage to a private house, but through the high walls we couldn't see inside, and we didn't know who lived there.
My father hesitated, but knocked on the door, and the iron door made a crisp sound, and I thought that there would be no response to the knock, but the iron door was immediately opened.
The door opened only a slit, and then one eye appeared and looked at us warily and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
It seems that this person is quite alert, or maybe he was more careful because he saw so many people outside, my dad smiled and said Are you the master here?
The man shook his head and said I am the gatekeeper, you are looking for the master?
Sir, this word sounds so unfamiliar, as if it was a term that was only used many years ago, but today we hear it.
My dad nodded and said yes, then why don't you go in and report it?
The man hesitated, said you wait, and then hurriedly closed the iron door.
Everyone had inexplicable expressions, only my father didn't care, saying that if Professor Li came to find the owner of this house, then this person was not an ordinary person, and we would see if he could see us later.
After a few minutes, the iron door was opened again, and the eye came out and said that our master had told him that he was waiting for an old friend, and that he did not have time to see you, so please leave.
After saying that, this person wanted to close the iron door, but my father hurriedly stretched out his foot to block his action of closing the door, and then said with a smile: "Then please run again, if I guess correctly, your master and other people have been late for a long time, he was attacked in this alley just now, and he has been sent to the hospital." ”
The person in the door was startled, nodded and said wait, and then glanced at my father, who had to withdraw his foot, and the door slammed shut again.
Everyone had to smile bitterly and continue to wait, saying in their hearts that the owner of this house is so big, where is it sacred?
This time we came back quickly, the iron door was all opened, and we saw that the person who opened the door to us just now was an old man in his 60s, and he said that the master was waiting for you in the living room, please come in.
After entering the door, we found that there was a hole in the sky, it turned out to be a spacious courtyard, the size of a football field, the garden was planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, and in the distance was an antique villa.
This can be regarded as the central area of the city, and someone has built a villa here, not to mention how much money he has, his influence must not be small, right?
We followed the old man to the door of the villa, and then he told us to go in, and then went back to the door over there, where there was a small house, which seemed to be where he usually lived.
We were not polite, just pushed open the wooden door and walked in, a good smell came, I can't tell what kind of incense is burning, an incense burner is billowing green smoke.
The room was brightly lit, so when I entered the door, I saw an old man in a red robe sitting on the top, and the style of the costume looked very much like an ancient robe, and I didn't expect anyone to wear it like this now.
The old man's eyes were like electricity, and after glancing at us, he said lightly, "Sit." ”
After a row of red wood chairs and a few of us sat down, my dad arched his hand and said, "May I ask your senior's surname?" We're really bothering you when we come here. ”
The old man didn't care, looked at us, nodded and said, "It's okay, I listened to you just now, my friend was actually attacked at my doorstep?" ”
My dad nodded and said yes, Professor Li was shot in the back of the head and is now being resuscitated in the hospital, but the doctor said that he was not in danger of life.
The old man nodded and said That's good, this person found me after several layers of relationships, and said that he was showing me a picture, but I haven't seen anyone yet, why did something happen?
When several of us heard this, we were shocked, looked at each other with a smile, and understood in our hearts that the picture was still snatched away by someone.
My dad also understood that things were starting to get tricky, so he had to look at the old man and tell him the ins and outs of the matter, even if he didn't know the identity of this person, but he believed that Professor Li came to him to ask for help, and now although the distribution map was snatched away, maybe talking to him can add a helper to us.
The old man listened lightly, and said without a trace of expression on his face: "I have known about this matter for a long time, and I also understand that something will happen sooner or later, but unfortunately I am old, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you, since the picture was snatched away, it can be regarded as the will of heaven." ”
As soon as I said this, it was a direct rejection of us, and I couldn't help but peek at my father, and he was unmoved, just smiled, and said that you are right, the bad guys snatched the blueprint, just to find something beneficial to them, and then to kill more people, and it really has nothing to do with you.
The old man snorted coldly, and said that young people don't have to provoke me with words, the life and death of the world are fate, and the old man has no responsibility and obligation to interfere, if you are okay, you can leave.
After saying that, he stood up and made it clear that he was going to send off the guests.
Everyone was a little at a loss, Lin Yue suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The life and death of the world has nothing to do with you, but everyone in this world is dead, is it still interesting for you old man to live by himself?" ”
