Chapter 42: Footprints

Wu Yu looked around strangely, judging from the sound, it should be nearby, but Sun Xiaoxi's mobile phone has always been on herself, and she didn't see Sun Xiaoxi at all when she looked around at this time, how could she hear Sun Xiaoxi's phone?

Xue Hao looked at Wu Yu in surprise, although he didn't know this song, but in his judgment, the voice was near Wu Yu, but there was no one else around, could it be that Wu Yu had Sun Xiaoxi's mobile phone on him?

The two of them almost thought at the same time whether Sun Xiaoxi would put the mobile phone on Wu Yu's body, Wu Yu quickly flipped through his body while holding his mobile phone, but except for the wallet and car keys, he didn't find anything after a few flips.

The familiar music continued, and the singing stopped only when Wu Yu's phone was busy.

Xue Hao looked at Wu Yu: "Brother-in-law, what's going on with that song just now?" How do I feel that the voice is right next to you? ”

Wu Yu shook his head: "That's your sister Xiaoxi's mobile phone ringtone, it can't be her mobile phone on you!" ”

Xue Hao rolled his eyes: "How is it possible?" What am I doing with Sister Xiaoxi's mobile phone? As he spoke, he touched his body carefully, just like Wu Yu, except for the wallet is the key to the shroud shop, the only thing that is more than Wu Yu is the soul slashing sword in Xue Hao's hand.

Wu Yu looked around, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning at the moment, and it was the time when it was bright, although there was only a small light bulb left in the house because it had been smashed, but there was already some light that could be faintly shone in outside. There was only a chaotic room, and Xue Hao standing in front of Wu Yu.

Dialing Sun Xiaoxi's phone again, the music sounded again, and Xue Hao couldn't help but complain: "It can't be that Sister Xiaoxi is joking with us, right?" ”

Wu Yu stretched out his fingers and made a silent gesture, because at this moment he had heard the source of the sound, although at first glance it sounded like it was coming from his side, but when he listened carefully, the sound seemed to be moving, as if it was coming from Wu Yu's side at times, and sometimes from the corner of the room.

Xue Hao also seemed to feel that something was wrong, if there were other people in this room, Xue Hao's Baojia Immortal should have discovered it a long time ago. And even if there really is something unclean, then the evil aura of the Soul Slashing Sword is enough to deter that thing.

However, the two of them listened carefully for a while, and the voice always echoed in the room, still maintaining that fast-moving state, appearing from time to time at a certain point between the corner and Wu Yu.

There was silence all around, except for the music, sometimes weak, sometimes high-pitched, as if someone was operating the mobile phone, constantly changing the volume of the mobile phone ringtone.

Wu Yu was about to look in the direction of the sound to see if Sun Xiaoxi's mobile phone was in the house, but he was stopped by Xue Hao as soon as he took a step, only to see Xue Hao holding the soul slaying sword in his hand across his chest, and standing in front of Wu Yu with a posture of facing a great enemy, seeing that the direction he was facing was not the direction of the sound source, but the direction of the counter.

Wu Yu looked at Xue Hao strangely, but judging from Xue Hao's serious expression, it was obvious that Xue Hao had discovered something, so he hurriedly looked in the direction of Xue Hao's gaze.

Because of the lack of lighting, it was very difficult to see the counter carefully, but Xue Hao did not hesitate at all, it seemed to be very purposeful, although the speed was very slow, but he still walked slowly in that direction.

I don't know if it was nervousness or other reasons, Wu Yu felt that the light around him was gradually weakening, in order to keep the sound continuous, Wu Yu always maintained the state of calling Sun Xiaoxi's phone, and used his mobile phone to shine in the direction of Xue Hao's progress.

The sound of music came from time to time, and because the direction of the music was not the direction of Xue Hao's progress, there was a feeling of cold air behind Wu Yu's back now, as if the music was coming from behind him.

Gradually, the two of them approached the counter, because Wu Yu had taken Guo Chen's notes from here before, so Wu Yu was not too surprised, but now he came over with Xue Hao, and when he looked closely, this place was different from before.

Judging from the degree of crushing of the counter, first of all, the wooden quality of the counter is relatively poor, it should be made of particleboard, and judging from the fragments scattered on the ground, it should be the kind of inferior product that has been used for many years, which makes Wu Yu a little suspicious that Xue Hao and Yu Chen cut corners when they were decorating.

However, looking in the direction of Xue Hao's finger, I saw that in the place where the notes were placed before, a footprint was clearly printed on the scattered sawdust.

Wu Yu was so surprised that he almost didn't scream, but fortunately Xue Hao covered Wu Yu's mouth in time, but there were absolutely no footprints before, because when he picked up the note, Wu Yu subconsciously looked at the ground, although the ground was still scattered at that time, there were no traces that made Wu Yu strange.

Looking down at his feet, and comparing them with the footprints on the sawdust in front of him, it was obvious that this was not a pair of men's feet, and it was estimated that they should be around 36 to 37 in terms of size, which should be a woman's footprints.

After all, he can be regarded as a family member of a criminal policeman, and Wu Yu had made up all the subjects of criminal investigation in order to catch up with Sun Xiaoxi before, just to have a common topic with Sun Xiaoxi. At that time, he was about to be admitted to a graduate school in criminal investigation, and he was involved in almost all of Sun Xiaoxi's favorite majors, except for martial arts.

Xue Hao half-squatted down and reached out to touch the footprint, but Xue Hao's hand quickly retracted before it touched the footprint.

The sudden action startled Wu Yu, he didn't expect Xue Hao to withdraw his hand before he touched the footprints, and just wanted to ask Xue Hao what was going on, but saw Xue Hao suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Wu Yu's mouth! The next moment, Wu Yu's voice appeared in Wu Yu's ears: "Brother-in-law, there is someone there!" ”

The voice was very small but Wu Yu could hear it clearly, if it was before, Wu Yu must have thought that Xue Hao was joking with himself, or Xue Hao was crazy. However, Wu Yu is still vividly aware of the scene of Sun Xiaoxi's disappearance today, and judging from these footprints, there is no trace of movement at all, indicating that there is really a person here.

Wu Yu put his mouth to Xue Hao's ear and whispered, "Are you sure?" There was no trace of this footprint near it, and if there was anyone, how did he get in. ”

Xue Hao shook his head: "How do I know, but do we want to catch this ghost first, if it is a female ghost, it will be at my disposal, and the male ghost will be at your disposal." ”

Wu Yu was almost killed by Xue Hao's words, but looking at Xue Hao, this kid actually had a eager expression, as if he didn't realize how abnormal what he said, but felt very normal.

Before Wu Yu could answer, he saw Xue Hao suddenly stab the sword in his hand in the direction of the footprints, and the posture was like an ignorant child, using a wooden stick to test the unknown things in front of him.

Although Wu Yu did not agree with Xue Hao's approach, his strong curiosity made him have to look carefully in the direction of the footprints, and Wu Yu was nervous and slightly excited about whether there was really someone in that place.

The moment Xue Hao's sword approached that footprint, the footprint slowly moved a little behind. said that it was moving, but it was Wu Yu's imagination, to put it bluntly, the footprints on the ground suddenly moved a little back, and new footprints appeared on the sawdust, and at the same time, the soles of the feet covered half of the previous footprints.

Wu Yu grabbed Xue Hao's shoulder tightly, now it seems that there is really a person hiding there? Judging from the movement of the footprints, it shows that there are indeed people there, but why didn't I feel anything when I took the notes before, and what about Sun Xiaoxi's mobile phone music?

Xue Hao's next move was even bolder, this fat man who was almost two hundred pounds suddenly rolled on the spot dexterously, and rolled directly to the side behind the footprint, just before Wu Yu could react, Xue Hao suddenly thrust the soul slashing sword in his hand towards the ground, followed by Xue Hao's loud roar.

The originally quiet room was suddenly shaken by this loud roar, like a thunderclap on the ground, and Wu Yu's eardrums were almost shattered by Xue Hao's voice.

With this huge roar Wu Yu was still in a shocked moment, a huge air flow came from Xue Hao's direction, as if a cannonball had exploded, and the huge air wave rushed Wu Yu out of place, and the next second Wu Yu fell on the broken sofa, and a hot current from the bottom of his lungs rushed out, Wu Yu's thinking had not kept up, and suddenly his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spit out.

Wu Yu was surprised to feel that this mouthful of blood spit out, his body seemed to be much more comfortable, and the original tension and depression were all gone, replaced by an indescribable ease.

Wu Yu rubbed his chest, feeling as if he had been kicked just now, although his body was relaxed, his chest was very painful.

Xue Hao smiled and walked over with a sword, looked at Wu Yu's appearance and smiled: "Brother-in-law, how do you feel?" ”

Wu Yu looked at Xue Hao puzzled: "What's the matter?" You almost killed me just now, and you still have a smile on your face. ”

Xue Hao shrugged: "I'm sorry I didn't master the strength well!" But the angle is not bad, it seems that my calculation is okay, doesn't this just kick you to the couch? ”

Wu Yu frowned, and looked carefully to see that the lights in the room were not as dim as just now, but brightly lit, and the room was not as chaotic as he had just seen, and even the counter was not so broken.

Seeing Wu Yu's puzzlement, Xue Hao sat down next to Wu Yu: "Brother-in-law, you were accidentally tricked just now, if I hadn't found out in time, there is a chance that you would have seen something you shouldn't have seen at this time." ”

Wu Yu looked at Xue Hao strangely, and pinched his face twice: "What do you mean?" Didn't what I just saw really happen? ”

Xue Hao nodded: "Yu Chen's prank, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much, I used to be tricked with Tiantian, but then I got used to it, and I believe you will slowly get used to it." As he spoke, he smiled at Wu Yu, but from his smile, Wu Yu seemed to see Yu Chen's habitual mysterious smile.
