I couldn't help but freeze, looked at the old man in front of me in dismay, and was a little incredulous: "Are you Xie Zhiyuan?" ”

"It's been so long since anyone called my name, and if you hadn't mentioned it, I'd have forgotten about it." Listening to what the old principal said, I still couldn't believe it, and insisted on asking: "Then what do people usually call you?" ”

"Call Secretary Xie before retirement, and after retirement, you will be President Xie."

There is no slightest bluff, and even the eyes have become calm and calm, which is the quality that will be cultivated by those who were once in power, even if it is just such a small town. I can't question it anymore, but how is that possible? Whether it is from the text of the letter or the message revealed by those ten paintings, Xie Zhiyuan should not be so old.

And it is clear that he used his own argument to argue that I was lying, which just proves that he never wrote a letter.

"So who could possibly be your name? I made a pen pal in junior high school, and the other party should be the same age as me, and at that time, it was popular to use a pen name for pen pals, and maybe he couldn't think of a good pen name and used your name. ”

That's the only reason I think can be explained.

But the old headmaster laughed again, laughing so hard that his hair stood on end, "What if I say that no one in the whole town knows this name except my son?" ”

"How so?"

"Because," he bared his white teeth, his eyes making his face look hideous, "I am a dead man. ”

Shivering, a chill came out from the depths of my heart and quickly spread throughout my body. Of course, I couldn't really believe in the ghost theory, and the person in front of me looked like a living person of flesh and blood, even if he hadn't really come into contact with it. What really scares me is the meaning behind his words, what kind of person is a dead person?

As soon as I thought about it, an answer took shape in my head: a person who should have died.

I tried to calm myself as calmly as possible, but my voice was still trilling: "You have committed a crime that caused death?" "Actually, I thought of the uncle of the grain and oil store lying there and being dumped by debris, and I wanted to ask: Have you ever killed someone?

"Girl, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but I know too much." The old man looked at me with pity, like a dead man. And just as he was saying this, Father Xie had already taken out a dagger out of nowhere.

Staring at the cold and dignified blade, not long ago, I was also held by Mei Jiugu with a dagger on my neck, but I didn't expect to face it again today. And last time, Aunt Mei may have scruples and didn't dare to really kill, but these two people have already made up their minds to kill.

In fact, when I heard him say that he was a dead man, I knew that he had never intended to let me go, even if I said it by another name. Fearlessly watching Father Xie slowly approach, I asked, "It's still that question, does Xiaoqin know?" ”

Father Xie paused, and replied gloomily: "From today onwards, you will be just a guest in the hotel who has escaped from the debt." "Raised an eyebrow, is this the reason for my disappearance has already been arranged? I sneered, "Since you want to protect Xiaoqin, aren't you afraid that your hands will be covered with blood and you will be retributioned on her?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Father Xie was furious.

And the old man sneered and interjected on the side: "Retribution? Tian Yuan, just listen to this kind of thing, otherwise my old man doesn't know how many times he will be retributed. What's more, Xiaoqin will never know. Stop talking nonsense with her, do it. ”

I saw that Father Xie's emotions were suppressed again, and I sneered unconsciously, "Are you sure Xiaoqin will never know?" Who was the man standing outside the door? This time, my words made both of them change their expressions, and turned around at the same time, Father Xie rushed to the door in a panic to open the door, the timing was just right, I slammed into the old man.

If the other party doesn't guard me, I will fight back, and I will directly hit the ground and fall to the ground. Father Xie instinctively turned around when he heard the strange movement behind him, and was shocked and angry when he saw this scene, but he was still hesitating whether to open the door or come back to arrest me.

What he wants is his hesitation! Compared with the old man, Father Xie's heart defense is much weaker, and his daughter Xie Xiaoqin is the key point.

I took the opportunity to lunge at the old man, and my hands were about to strangle his neck. There is no doubt that he is the backbone of the heart, and Father Xie listens to him, as long as he is restrained, he may be able to escape from this school with a fight. I believe that as long as they are in town, they will no longer be able to kill people blatantly.

However, I underestimated an old man who seemed to be in his sixties, and he rolled over to dodge when I pounced, and just happened to roll to the debris pile. Reacting very quickly, he pulled up a bench and threw it at me, and although his strength was not equal to that of the middle-aged man, it also successfully blocked my movement. And he saw the scene in the debris pit, and shouted angrily: "Tianyuan, quickly extinguish your mouth!" She found the old thief. ”

At this time, Father Xie had already opened the door, and when he saw that there was no one outside, he rushed over in a rage, the dagger in his left hand was raised high, and his right hand once again reached for my hair to restrain me.

I wanted to dodge, but then an old man slapped me with a chair, and in front of me, Father Xie trapped me in the middle like a roadblock, and the dagger in front of me stabbed at me without any scruples, and my fists couldn't help but clench.

Suddenly, Xiao Leng's low voice came out of nowhere, with sarcasm: "If you dare to pierce the knife, believe it or not, you will soon become a dead person." ”

It's Gu Xi! I looked around in surprise, the voice was not coming from outside the door, but there was no place to hide anyone in the whole room, where was he?

Whether it was Father Xie or the old man, they were also shocked. They probably didn't think there was a fourth person in the room, no, a fifth. Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to sit back and wait for such a good opportunity, and dodge Father Xie's knife first.

Father Xie reacted and hurried to chase after him, and suddenly heard the old man behind him call his name: "Tianyuan." ”

My heart moved, and for the first time I heard the old man's voice unsteady, even a slight trill. Obviously, Father Xie had stopped chasing after me, so I took the opportunity to run to the door to grasp the favorable terrain. Only then did he turn his head, and at first glance he didn't notice anything unusual, the old man seemed to have lost his strength after shaking the bench repeatedly just now, and sat on the pile of debris panting, but I saw that his expression was stiffer than before.

When you look closely, your pupils can't help but contract. On the old man's neck, a thin transparent wire was wound that was difficult to distinguish from a distance, and it was just when the sun shone on his side, making the thin line shimmer slightly.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he was panting, not because of the loss of strength, but because the thin thread had shackled him firmly. But if the thin line is tightened, he will suffocate to death. I moved my foot to the side, and saw the thin thread around his neck and then into the pile of tables and chairs, where the uncle of the grain and oil store was lying.

Suddenly, my mind recalled the location where Gu Xi's voice suddenly came out just now, and it seemed to be close to my ear. The reason why sound is difficult to orient is that it travels too short a distance to capture.

At that time, Father Xie and I were also next to the debris pile. That is, he may well be in there!

A strange thought flashed through my mind, but I quickly rejected it. There is only the uncle of the grain and oil store in the pile of sundries, and there is no room for a second person in that space, so I just thought that it could be Gu Xi Yirong who became the uncle of the grain and oil store. But in an instant, I overturned this idea, disguise techniques and the like have been exaggerated by TV dramas, in fact, they are a kind of makeup technique. However, the human face shape is long and short, large and small, and it is difficult to copy another human face, which is secondary, the most important thing is the body shape.

Gu Xi is so tall, it is impossible for him to shrink to the size of the uncle of the grain and oil store.

Just as I was rapidly flipping these thoughts in my mind, I suddenly saw Father Xie's figure moving and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the slow voice: "If you go any further, his neck will be broken." ”

This time I could hear it clearly, Gu Xizhen was behind the pile of debris, and as soon as his words fell, blood marks appeared on the old principal's neck. Finally, the eyes behind the glasses showed horror, and no one was afraid of death after all.

Father Xie didn't dare to move again, and shouted angrily: "Come out!" What kind of hero is sneakily hiding? ”

"Sneaky?" After a cold snort, a long figure appeared from the middle of the pile of debris, "Isn't it your job to pretend to be a ghost?" A man who doesn't even dare to recognize his daughter. ”

Father Xie's expression turned pale in an instant, but it wasn't because I thought, he actually asked in shock: "Why can you come out?" The person who smiled coldly was naturally Gu Xi, and he asked without moving: "Why can't I come out?" ”

"Impossible......"

I sounded a little ignorant, listening to Father Xie's words, it seemed that Gu Xi had been trapped somewhere, and I felt that it was foolproof. But Gu Xi came out on his own, still in this way.

Where was he trapped before?

I only heard him sneer: "You think that a mere trapped dragon formation can lock me up?" ”

The old principal's face changed drastically, and he asked in horror, "Do you know the Trapped Dragon Formation?" He couldn't turn back when he asked, he could only stiffen his neck. And Gu Xi ignored him at all, looked at me sideways, frowned and scolded: "Why are you so unreassuring?" ”

I also wanted to be relieved that I should have stayed in the hotel and waited if he was safe and sound, otherwise I wouldn't have almost lost my life. But who would have predicted what would happen? It's like I'm looking at him, and I still haven't figured out how he hid in that pile of clutter, so it can't be any bone-shrinking work, right? couldn't help but look him up and down, and laughed in his heart, where could he shrink with long hands and feet?
