"Well, guys, it looks like someone played a nasty joke on us." Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have permission, I will publish the experience just now as news and severely punish this hateful behavior!" ”

Sui Kaiguo waved his hand busily: "This can't be helped, we as civil servants must maintain our image." Just as it's a dream, let's get together and disperse after the dream! Others agreed.

Seeing everyone's negative attitude, Qiu Yan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let's say goodbye." ”

Zhang Kunyue suddenly proposed: "It's fate for us to get together, anyway, it's good to separate, why don't you go for a meal?" ”

The other eight people immediately stared at him with strange expressions. Cen Kai, who is a student, is quite straightforward, explaining: "It's almost an hour soon...... Who can guarantee that what 'that person' says will not be fulfilled? It's still dangerous for the nine of us to be together, so we might as well separate ourselves. ”

Zhang Kunyue was bored, so everyone walked in all directions, even if they were on the same road, they all changed lanes as much as possible, and their hearts were full of suspicion.

At this moment, the driver Gu Yuanfang had just walked around the corner of the street when a taxi hit him head-on. After a loud bang, Gu Yuanfang let out a terrible roar of pathos, his upper body was like a huge compass, which was quickly pushed in the opposite direction of his lower body, his limbs twisted exaggeratedly, and blood splattered in all directions!

Passers-by screamed after a moment of stunnedness, as if hell was right in front of them. Among the nine people, Nie Xiulan, who was closest to Gu Yuanfang, could not bear the horror that was close at hand, and collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. Although Zhang Kunyue was far away, when he saw Nie Xiulan sitting on the ground, he could faintly imagine Gu Yuanfang's death, but what surprised him the most was that he accidentally caught a glimpse of the giant clock in the building opposite: at this time, it was exactly a full hour before the "mysterious man" clock began!

After all, Zhang Kunyue was born in a gangster, and his psychological tolerance was stronger than that of ordinary people, and while constantly comforting himself, "This is just a coincidence", he pushed aside the spectators who gathered here and hurriedly walked home.

He hadn't run a few steps before he heard someone behind him crying his name. He turned around in shock and saw that it was actually Nie Xiulan! Zhang Kunyue was terrified and asked, "Are you ...... What are you doing? ”

Nie Xiulan covered her face and cried: "It's terrible! It's crazy! A few of us shouldn't be separated! At least it won't be so easy for him to get it! ”

Zhang Kunyue interrupted her upset: "He was hit by a car and died!" ”

Nie Xiulan snorted and argued: "Maybe who took advantage of the chaos to push him?" With so many people on the street, it's easy for the murderer to hide......"

"But the murderer may not be one of the nine of us!"

"Look at your watch, isn't it exactly an hour? Who else but us? Let's go together so we can take care of each other. ”

Zhang Kunyue was speechless, and then said vigilantly: "Okay, we can get together again, and then go to the police station to report the case and arrest the murderer." But...... But I can't trust you yet, and you can't trust me either, can you? We have to find a third person as soon as possible. ”

Nie Xiulan bit her lower lip and nodded: "You have a point." We didn't have any contact information between us, but we could start with the person with the most leads. That fellow scholar Cen Kai lives in Beidou Villa, as for where he lives, we can go to the third middle school where he is located. There are many teachers there who are my classmates, and it is not difficult to find him. ”

Zhang Kunyue saw that she was delicate, with fine skin and tender meat, not like she knew how to do kung fu, and she was a young and strong man, with a knife on her body, were you afraid that she would not succeed? He was relieved, so he beckoned to stop a taxi, and the two of them got in.

Twenty minutes later they came to No. 3 Middle School. Nie Xiulan said to Zhang Kunyue: "I'm really sorry, your identity ...... It's not suitable to enter the archives, so let me get the student materials, you are waiting for me here. Zhang Kunyue muttered dissatisfiedly, pacing back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth at the school gate.

After a while, Nie Xiulan walked out and said eagerly: "His homeroom teacher said that he didn't come to school for a day. This is his mobile phone number, I hope he didn't change it. She handed over a piece of paper.

"I'll fight, you can't tell you if you're crying." Zhang Kunyue dialed the phone according to the number on the paper, and then shouted: "Cen Kai! I'm Zhang Kunyue! …… What the? Don't recognize? Didn't we meet again this morning? …… That's right! That's what you call a 'hooligan'! ”

Cen Kai's originally sunny voice became nervous: "You...... What are you looking for me for? What do you want? ”

Zhang Kunyue had a reckless temperament and asked bluntly: "Do you know that the driver of the nine of us was hit and killed this morning?" ”

"I don't know! I don't know anything! ”

Nie Xiulan was afraid that Zhang Kun would stimulate Cen Kai without concealment, so she hurriedly grabbed the phone and said in a very soft voice: "Cen Kai, I'm Teacher Nie, are you okay?" Listen, we're in great danger right now, and what happened this morning shows that the guy who kidnapped us wasn't joking, so we have to ...... Feed? Are you listening? Feed? ”

Nie Xiulan reluctantly put down the phone. Zhang Kunyue was angry: "This kid! Scared, right? ”

"Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be afraid...... Nie Xiulan said softly, "Let's go to his house according to the address." ”

The two walked out of the school gate quickly, and when they were about to cross the street, the big bell on the teaching building behind them suddenly made a dull sound, which was deafening. The two looked at each other at that moment, both of them changed color, and their bodies were a little disobedient.

"Another hour passed, and perhaps another person died...... I don't know who it will be......" Zhang Kunyue muttered in trepidation.

"It's good that we're both fine...... However, if someone really dies, it only means that the murderer does not know a person, and he may not really be among us. Maybe they followed the nine of us separately and then killed one person every hour according to the standard time, creating the illusion of the murderer's omnipotence with this regular pattern of horrors, so that we were terrified and the police couldn't do anything......"

Zhang Kunyue couldn't help but admire the delicate woman in front of him: "You are quite good at reasoning, you really deserve to be a teacher." With that, he waved again and called a taxi.

Both of them know that the developer of Beidou Villa is Su Le, and Cen Kai lives in Beidou Villa in the suburbs, so after finding Cen Kai, he can also find Su Le along the way.

At this time, the radio on the taxi inserted such a piece of news: "The latest news, at one o'clock in the afternoon, there was a vicious traffic accident in the north of Yulin Street, the deceased Gu Yuanfang was a taxi driver in our city, and was hit head-on by a taxi that suddenly lost control and died on the spot. An hour later, at two o'clock, a tragedy occurred at the Fengqiao construction site on Haitian Road, where Dai Fuqiang, a migrant worker from another province, was accidentally hit by several steel bars that accidentally slipped during high-altitude work, and died on the spot. The causes of both accidents are under investigation. The reporter reminds the general public here that there are many subtle but non-negligible safety hazards in life, and everyone must pay attention to safety when going out......"

Zhang Kunyue was like being struck by thunder, cold sweat was dripping, and a very grotesque idea suddenly popped up, so he said to Nie Xiulan: "Don't you think this is very wrong?" It is reasonable for the taxi driver to be hit and killed by a taxi, but then the migrant worker was stabbed to death by a steel bar on the construction site, can this be a general coincidence? You said...... If you choose how to die according to your profession...... Will I ...... then Killed by other hooligans, or shot by the police? ”

Nie Xiulan was also pale, and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense...... It's almost time to get to Cen Kai's house, cheer up. ”

The two got out of the car and went straight to the building where Li Cen Kai lived in Beidou Villa. Leaving the elevator, Nie Xiulan pressed the doorbell of Cen Kai's house, but there was no response after pressing it for a long time. Zhang Kunyue was already nervous, but now he was annoyed, and stepped forward to slam the security door hard: "Damn it, open the door!" I'm here to save you! ”
