(October 22) countdown day 69

After pondering for a moment, Yao Xiaoyi had an idea. She bent down and continued to walk through the dense forest, and when she was still about a kilometer from the bridge, she got out of the dense forest, sealed her backpack in a plastic bag, and went down the artificial river into the river.

The river was bitterly cold, and she gritted her teeth and crossed the river for about a kilometer to the opposite bank. Then grope along the riverbank to get closer to the bridge.

The bridge is a stone arch bridge, which has been built for a long time, and it is just right under the piers.

She changed into dry clothes and used skillful makeup to make up the image of a middle-aged man. Hiding her crossbow under a wide man's coat, she stepped out of the pier and slowly approached the head of the bridge along the narrow stone steps.

Stone bridges connect to an alley lined with buildings of varying heights. Tea houses, barber shops, mahjong rooms and other shop signs flashed neon lights. On both sides of the bridge is a noodle restaurant, without a single diner, and a few waiters are cleaning up the tables and chairs, seeing that they are ready to close for the last term. On the other side is a five-storey guesthouse with a façade facing the street and windows on the riverside side.

There is no doubt that if a killer lurks in the town to monitor the movement on the other side of the river, this hotel is the ideal place to hide. Looking out of the window, you can see the opposite shore and the bridge deck. However, the bridge at this end of the connecting alley just forms a blind spot.

"What would I do if I were a killer?" Yao Xiaoyi speculated about the possible arming strategy of the potential killer.

Yao Xiaoyi has learned that the Eye of the Night has launched the so-called Blue Operation, and the target of the action is himself, and if he is not captured, this operation will not stop for a day. With the murderous nature and energy of the Night Eye, it is not surprising that the entire town should be under the surveillance range of the killer. This means that even if you get past the hurdle in front of you and enter the town smoothly, there is a huge risk of wanting to leave quickly through the town.

At this time, several waiters at the noodle restaurant in Qiaotou had already packed up the tables and chairs, and quickly changed into their usual clothes and walked out of the store. As the roller shutter door was pulled down, several people divided into two groups to prepare to go home from work, one group went inside the alley, and the other group of two people walked in the direction of the bridge.

Seeing this, Yao Xiaoyi hurriedly retracted and blocked his body with the help of a stone bridge.

The two of them talked and soon walked onto the stone bridge, and before they were halfway through, there was a rush of footsteps from the bridge, chasing the two people on the bridge.

"Stop!" Someone stopped the two people in front of them.

"What's the matter?"

"This bridge can only be crossed, not crossed." Come humanely.

"Why? We live across the street. ”

"The regulations that have just come down, starting today, are one-way passes. We'll have to wait for notice when it's time to pass. ”

"Impossible, unreasonable, we haven't heard such a notice. Even if there was notice, we had to do it. ”

"Tonight, you can't cross, go back, or take a detour to the bridge in front of you."

"What if we have to go over?" One of them seemed enraged.

Touch!

Thump!

"You ......"

"Kill ......"

Touch!

Thump!

There was a messy sound on the bridge deck, which sounded like the sound of a person being attacked to the end, and this person said "you" in surprise, and the voice stopped abruptly, and the other person was just about to call for help, and it seemed that he had also been attacked.

With the sound of two bodies falling to the ground, one in front and one behind, the bridge temporarily returned to silence.

After a while, there was a sound of messy footsteps, followed by two things falling from the bridge into the river.

Throw the corpse!

Yao Xiaoyi's guess was right, the person who committed the murder on the bridge must be the Eye of the Night killer.

She leaned back into the darkness again, leaning against the stone bridge, listening to the movement on the bridge with her breathing.

Later, the footsteps came from the middle of the bridge to the bridge, and after a pause, he got off the bridge and headed for the alley.

Yao Xiaoyi poked her head out and saw the back of a man. The man then came to the door of the hotel and disappeared shortly after entering.

Yao Xiao thought about it, saw the right time to get out of the bridge, quickly came to the alley and continued to go inside, and stopped at the door of the hotel. It is estimated that the man had already entered the upstairs room, and when he monitored the movement of the bridge through the window again, Yao Xiaoyi turned his head and walked in the direction of the bridge.

She deliberately lit a cigarette and swaggered onto the bridge. Before I reached the middle of the bridge, I stopped and the expected footsteps came from far and near behind me.

"Stop!"

It's still the man's voice just now.

Yao Xiaoyi turned her head to stare at the man approaching, silent, but with a pretended surprised expression.

"This bridge can't be crossed."

Yao Xiaoyi shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands with a puzzled expression.

"There is a notice, you can't pass, if you want to go to the opposite side, please take a detour."

"Cut!" Yao Xiaoyi snorted disappre一门ly, bounced the cigarette from the bridge into the river in a dashing manner, and walked back directly.

When passing by the hotel, Yao Xiaoyi could clearly feel that the man who followed her back stopped at the door and stood for a long time.

She walked neither fast nor slow, and continued along the alley. Encountering the first intersection, she turned right without stopping, and it was estimated that the figure disappeared behind the man's sight, and suddenly accelerated her pace and walked quickly.

Since then, she has changed direction every time she encounters an intersection, and has taken a strange and complicated route in a small area. Then, she spotted a public toilet, dodged in, and quickly transformed into the image of a young man in a partition, dressed in a new way.

After stepping out of the public toilet, she chose the town's only main street and prepared to cross the city in the opposite direction to the bridge.

Every time she passes by a shop window facing the street, she will use the window pane to look behind her and confirm whether there are any suspicious people following behind her.

As she walked, she used her mobile phone to search for an electronic map of the town, and when she looked at it, she was shocked.

Qingshui Town is circular in shape, surrounded by a moat, and the river arrives at Qingshui Town from the north to the south on the day after Mizuki Town, starting from the pier just seen, dividing into two, passing around the city, and finally converging at the other end of the town symmetrical with the dock, and continuing to the south, far away from Qingshui Town. The entire town of Mizuki is like an isolated island isolated by a moat, and the island is connected to four bridges in the south, east, and northwest. If you want to leave the town, there are only these four passages.

Yao Xiaoyi soon realized that entering this town was like entering a cage, and as long as the killer of the Eye of the Night firmly guarded the four bridges, he would become a turtle in an urn.

It is no longer possible to go back to the other side of the river through the stone bridge, because the embankment on the other side of the river is steep and high from the river, so it is easy to go down the river, and it is extremely difficult to swim to the other side and climb up the riverbank. In other words, the way back is dead.

Yao Xiaoyi also guessed that the other three bridges should also have killers from the Eye of the Night hiding in the shadows, and it was easy to enter the city, but it was difficult to get out of the city.

Either way, she was going to find out.
