Chapter 282: The Disappearing Corpse
Seeing that Zhou Jin'an didn't react at all, I had to wonder if he had a problem with his eyesight, so I didn't see the corpse, no matter how calm a person was, he should always have a little reaction when he saw a strange corpse, but why was Zhou Jin'an so calm, as if he didn't see it.
Zhu Liu had already walked to Zhou Jin'an's side, and she asked with an incredulous expression: "Zhou Jin'an, no, why don't you react at all?" Didn't you see the corpse at the door? Zhou Jinan touched his head and asked suspiciously, "What corpse?" What are you talking about? Looking at Zhou Jin'an's confused appearance, my heart chuckled, I hurriedly strode to the door, pulled hard, and immediately opened the door, Zhu Liu understood what I meant, and quickly followed.
The moment the door opened, I was stunned, the door was empty, there was nothing, I remember that when I entered the house, the body was lying in that corner, but now it was gone, I walked over and searched carefully outside the corridor, but still saw nothing.
Zhou Jin'an walked out, frowned and asked, "Can any of you explain to me what happened?" Also, do we have to go to the highway junction anymore? ”
I sighed, shook my head at him, and said, "No." Then he went straight into the house and sat down. Zhu Liu and Zhou Jin'an also followed me in, and then Zhu Liu told him what happened today from beginning to end under Zhou Jin'an's questioning again.
After listening to Zhu Liu's narration, Zhou Jin'an frowned and asked, "So you mean that you received a corpse with a threatening message, and now the corpse is missing without realizing it?" I looked at him and nodded at him, and Zhou Jinan asked, "Could it be that the neighbors around called the police, and then the police came to take it away." ”
I shook my head at him, directly refuted his speculation, and I said to him: "You also know that the school is now undergoing a big change, and the teachers on this floor are gone, and it is impossible for anyone to come, so Zhu Liu and I didn't care, and if the police came, the movement must be very big, this body is just outside our door, maybe the police will still ask us for questioning, how can it be so quiet?" ”
Zhou Jin listened to my analysis, and seemed to feel that there was some truth, he thought about it carefully, and then put forward a hypothesis, he said to me: "Since the corpse came by himself, is it possible that he walked back by himself?" I listened to him, sighed, and showed him the rune paper I tore from the sound of the corpse, and he took the rune paper, his face became dark, and he said to me: "The rune paper has been torn off by you, and the corpse will not disappear by itself, so there is only one possibility, this corpse was taken away." ”
I nodded, and then he said: "Yes, and the corpse didn't make any big noise when it disappeared, if it was moved, the corpse would be so fat, it would definitely make some noise, and Zhu Liu and I didn't hear it." After speaking, I looked at Zhu Liu, who nodded at us, confirming my statement.
I swallowed heavily and said to them, "Then there is only one possibility, the corpse was taken away by someone who knows how to control it, or it is possible that he stayed in a place we couldn't see and watched us quietly while we checked the corpse. Zhu Liu listened to my words, hugged his arms tightly, and said to me with a frightened face: "Don't scare me, it sounds too terrifying." I smiled at her, and then said, "It's unacceptable, there's something even more terrifying." Zhu Liu listened to my words, was stunned, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" I opened my mouth, and was just about to explain to him, but I didn't expect Zhou Jin'an to speak directly, Zhou Jin'an chuckled, and then said to Zhu Liu: "Have you ever thought about why that person came here to get the body away?" Actually, the corpse should have no meaning to him, anyway, the word has arrived. ”
I looked at Zhou Jinan and said the answer I guessed: "It's to intimidate us and let us know that he has come here unknowingly, and with our ability, we can't even detect it." ”
Zhou Jin'an listened to my words, nodded in agreement, and said, "That's what it means." Then he paused, and then continued, "But that's not what he intended?" ”
Listening to his words, I was a little confused, what does this mean, does he have any deep meaning, Zhou Jin'an glanced at me and Zhu Liu, and then said to us: "I am sorry that you decided not to go out to find the bearded man for the time being. ”
"What do you mean? Why do I still not understand? Zhu Liu asked.
Zhou Jin'an said to us: "He is guarding the door to make sure that you listen to what he says on the talisman paper, if you don't listen, but choose to continue to look for the bearded man, he may kill you, as for his motives, I don't know very well." But he saw that his purpose had been achieved, so he left with the corpse, also to give you a frightening effect. ”
Zhu Liu listened to his words, her eyes widened in horror, she held my hand tightly, her face turned pale, and she said, "Then if we still decided to go out at that time, would we have died?" Although I was also a little scared in my heart, I still comforted Zhu Liu and said, "What do you say? In fact, even if we go out, won't the two of us be able to beat him together? We are scared only because he is hiding in the shadows, and maybe when he comes out and sees his true face, we will realize that he is not so scary. ”
Zhou Jin'an listened to my words, smiled at me and said, "What you say is very reasonable. I didn't expect that. Zhu Liu was still a little worried, and then she asked, "Then what should we do now?" Or stick to the decision you just made? ”
I nodded to her. said: "Yes, for the time being, don't attack directly, we'll wait for his whereabouts to be exposed, and then go to save the beard." Zhu Liu listened to my words and was obviously relieved. She patted her chest and said to me, "That's good, anyway, I admit that I was scared by him, and I want to live a few more years." ”
Zhou Jin'an and I laughed when we heard her words so straightforward, and now I have pinned all my hopes on the person in the painting, hoping that he will not live up to my expectations.
Since all three of them have decided to wait and see, they can only wait for news now.
They have all come here, and they are here to save the beard, although there is nothing to do, I am still embarrassed to drive Zhou Jinan away, I said to Zhou Jin'an: "Or stay here and have lunch." Actually, I was just polite, I thought Zhou Jin'an would naturally refuse, but Zhou Jin'an actually agreed, and he said happily: "Okay." ”
I looked at Zhou Jin'an, who was sitting calmly on the sofa between me and Zhu Liu, because the sofa was a little small, his long legs stretched as far as possible to the front, and he looked even more lazy, not having a temperament, just like the son of the old society, at this moment he was looking at me with a smile on his face, with a look of expectation, and I also tried to squeeze out a smile on him.
But my heart is dripping with blood, I don't know how to cook at all, I'll be polite to him, who knows if he agreed, how should I get off the stage now, just say I won't do it, let him go, although it seems very embarrassing, but this seems to be the best solution, I can't think of anything else. I blushed and felt like a little maid, standing in front of Master Zhou Jin'an's eldest master and twisting, I didn't look at his eyes, and said hesitantly: "That....... Excuse me....... Actually, I'll ......" But before I could finish speaking, Zhu Liu's big mouth said directly: "Liu Wuying, are you embarrassed to say this to a person who doesn't know how to cook at all, you, a person who orders takeout every day, are embarrassed to leave others to eat." Zhou Jin'an listened to Zhu Liu's words, as if he suddenly realized, and then I saw him trying to hold back a smile, looking like he was watching a good show, and then he said to the indignant Zhu Liu: "Then Miss Zhu will definitely cook, and it's not bad to try your skills." Zhu Liu didn't expect him to ask herself, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she said to Zhou Jin'an: "Actually, I also ate a boxed lunch with Liu Xuying." ”
Zhou Jinan just sat there looking at me, and my heart was silent: Oh no, it's embarrassing, the fake politeness has been exposed, how should I step down. But if he had left on his own, it would have been very much in my favor. Just when I was thinking about it, Zhou Jinan suddenly said: "Since this is the case, then I will invite you to dinner." We went out to eat. ”
"What?" I haven't reacted yet.,Shouldn't the style of painting be like this.,Shouldn't he just leave? How did it turn out that we went out to dinner with him, and I wanted to cry without tears.
But Zhu Liu is a person who has no principles at all when she sees a handsome guy, as soon as she heard Zhou Jin'an's words, she said doggedly: "Okay, okay, I agree, I also agreed for Liu Wuying." I looked at Zhu Liu, who betrayed me immediately, and thought that not long ago, she was very childish to resist our enemy with me, but I didn't expect that she would defect to the enemy in front of a meal.
I glared at Zhu Liu, and was just about to retort and tell her that I wasn't going, but she directly threw down a sentence: "You two wait for me, I'll go change my clothes." I looked at Zhu Liu's back helplessly and held back my words. Then I sighed and said to Zhou Jin'an, "Can I not go?" You take Zhu Liu with you. Zhou Jin'an smiled proudly, as if he had taken me, and he said to me generously: "If you don't want to go, then forget it, when Miss Zhu comes out, I will tell her that I have something to do temporarily, and I can't go, but, unfortunately, she also went to dress up." ”
I looked at Zhou Jin'an, I really realized how terrible it is for a man's belly to be black, I glared at Zhou Jin'an: "Why are you so shameless." Zhou Jinan was unmoved, and said proudly: "Sometimes, it is necessary to use appropriate means to achieve the goal. Then he saw Zhu Liu push open the door and walk towards us, leaned close to my ear and whispered, "You see that she is so happy, she won't want to be disappointed, right?" ”
I looked at Zhu Liu, who was wearing a bright red dress and walked towards us with a smile, and struggled in my heart, and then said to Zhou Jin'an through gritted teeth: "Let's go." When Zhu Liu walked up to us, he asked me innocently, "What are you talking about?" The cheerful chat, it shouldn't be that they are really together. She squeezed her eyebrows at me and said, although she deliberately lowered her voice, but obviously Zhou Jin'an heard it, Zhou Jin'an listened to his words, turned her head to Zhu Liu and smiled ambiguously, and made a silent gesture towards her, Zhu Liu immediately nodded in understanding, with an expression that I knew everything but I would pretend not to know.
I looked at Zhu Liu walking beside me and sighed in my heart: When did I meet this pig teammate.
