Chapter 169 No Survivors (12)

As the old judge said, the storm is coming.

I don't know when a strong wind suddenly hung on the island, and then a large thick dark cloud, wrapped in bursts of thunder and lightning, slowly drifted towards the lonely soldier island.

Even a layman like Yi Qi can see that the sky is about to change, but... What he is more concerned about now is not the weather, but the ferry that has not arrived for a long time.

If the storm does come, then everyone will be trapped on this isolated island for a long time.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yi Qi's mouth couldn't help but turn upward, it seems... Not only did the killer plan for a long time, but he also made all kinds of preparations, such as this coming storm.

With a strange and happy mood, Yi Qi returned to the villa, but unfortunately... The people who returned to the villa one after another, but did not feel this pleasure, some of them... It's just repression.

When the people were gathered, Ms. Brant suddenly asked, "Did anyone see General MacArthur?" ”

That's when people realized that one person was missing.

Of all the people, only Lady Brandt had the best relationship with the general, because the two had met several times before they went to the island.

So, with a rare look of concern, Ms. Blunt asked again, seeing that the crowd did not respond, "Has anyone seen the general?" ”

Yi Qi has been paying attention to everyone's reactions, and then found the female teacher. Vera's expression was a little strange.

When Ms. Blount asked for the first time, Vera opened her mouth, but until Ms. Blount asked a second time, Vera still did not choose to speak.

At this moment, Longbottom spoke: "The general may be by the sea!" ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi turned his gaze to Longbottom, and at the same time... Vera also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the face of everyone's gaze, Longbottom was still calm, and said firmly: "After breakfast, I saw the general going in the direction of the port. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but... Yi Qi could feel from their expressions that they didn't care about the general's life or death.

Seeing that the scene was about to fall into chaos again, the old judge raised his stick and knocked on the ground, which also made the living room quiet again.

"We should look for the general."

The old judge looked at everyone calmly, but most of them... None of them consciously avoided his gaze, even Lady Blunt, who was clearly reluctant to brave the impending storm and go out to find someone.

There were no dodges in their eyes, only Yiqi and Longbottom.

However, compared with Longbottom's composure, the old judge could only see more banter in Yi Qi's eyes.

In the end, the old judge chose Longbottom: "Mr. Longbottom, would you like to help us find the general?" ”

Longbottom didn't speak, but he showed his attitude with his actions.

He nodded, then turned and left the villa, and after thinking for a moment, he followed him out of the villa and caught up with Longbottom, who had not gone far.

Yi Qi did this, of course, not out of enthusiasm, but only thought of the third line of the little poem - eight little soldiers, go hunting in Devon City; Leaving one life behind and returning to the west, only seven of the eight remained......

……

Itchy and Longbottom followed the trail all the way to the natural harbor, and then began to search along the coast, and in a short time... General MacArthur's traces were discovered.

However, the general had long lost his dignity, and was lying on the craggy reef at the moment, with a big hole in his head, splashing the red and white brains on the ground.

Approaching, Longbottom looked at the general's corpse and was silent.

Yi Qi first observed the general's death, then looked at the dark clouds that were gathering thicker and thicker overhead, and said, "Mr. Longbottom, you have two choices now. ”

"Two choices?"

Longbottom looked puzzled, and Yi Qi pointed to the general's corpse and said, "The first choice is for you to return to the villa with the general's corpse on your back." ”

Longbottom was even more puzzled: "What about you?" ”

"That's why I say there are two choices."

"What is the second option?"

"Let's leave this old guy alone and go straight back to the villa." Then, Yi Qi pointed to the sky again and said, "There is not much time left for you, if you want to bring the general, it is better to hurry." ”

Longbottom re-examined Yi Qi: "Mr. Sheriff, your words and deeds... It doesn't look like a police officer. ”

"Unfortunately, I'm a sheriff." Yi Qi shrugged, then added, "Let's go!" Otherwise... When the storm hits, it's really not fun. ”

Faced with Yi Qi's bad taste, Longbottom completely lost the will to take the general back to the villa, nodded slightly, and followed the road he came... Start returning.

Yi Qi glanced back at the general's corpse before returning with Longbottom.

Through Sheriff Bloor's experience, Yi Qi saw a lot of problems on the corpse, such as... The general's clothes were neat, and there were no signs of a fight, apparently having been killed by a single blow.

But here's the problem, General MacArthur has been in the army for many years, how could an old guy who can survive the rain of bullets be killed so easily?

However, thinking of the abnormality of the general's breakfast, it is not difficult for Yi Qi to come to a conclusion - the murderer is someone the general knows.

People love to think crankily as soon as they get older, and the general is no exception, and the appearance of the two dead will inevitably remind the general of some not-so-good memories.

As for... As a result, the general has been in a state of insolence since the morning, and the general in this state naturally does not have too much vigilance.

Of course, the premise is that they are familiar with them, otherwise the creature will instinctively become wary when a stranger approaches.

Perhaps, there is also a possibility that the general is powerless, and he can't even make the most basic call for help.

It's just that this possibility is very low, and the murderer really has the strength to crush everyone, and he won't make sneaky moves.

It's like Yi Qi facing a cultist, with power... Naturally, you have to face the crushing, scheming or something... It will also become insignificant, because the stratagem itself is a kind of helplessness......

……

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

As a mercenary, Longbottom was naturally able to detect the abnormality in the general, but both of them had different intentions, so they tacitly did not find out.

As soon as he entered the villa, everyone gathered around.

"Didn't find the general?"

"Found it!"

"What about the others?"

"Dead." Longbottom paused slightly, and added, "Someone used a blunt object to smash the skull. ”

In the living room, it instantly became noticeable for pins to fall.

At this time, the mean Ms. Blount suddenly screamed: "Since you have found the general, why don't you bring him back?" ”

Longbottom's innocent stall hand: "You need to ask Sheriff Bloor about this." ”

"Mr. Sheriff, what's going on?"

Facing Ms. Blunt's arrogance, Yi Qi pursed her lips nonchalantly: "Ms. Blunt, the general's corpse... It's right in the reef beach on the east side of the port.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you may be able to bring back the general's body before the storm comes. ”

Ms. Blunt was caught off guard for a moment and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Still don't understand?" Yi Qi suddenly showed a terrifying smile: "I mean... Whoever wants to go, he will go, I will not stop it, but please don't involve me! ”

Provoked by Yiqi, Ms. Blount suddenly became angry and screamed: "But you are a man......"

However, before Ms. Blount could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a wave of her hand.

"When Dr. Armstrong cried out in the morning for equality between men and women, you sat very safely! How? Do you remember to be a woman again now? Or is it... Do you think I'm a good bully? ”
