Chapter 16: The First Victim
Inside the villa in the 3rd arrondissement. After seeing the picture of Zhao Shanchuan being killed, Akai could no longer calm down. He strode to the TV: "Damn! It turns out that the biggest crisis of this mission is here! Aren't they very dangerous, Brother Qing? Xu Zhen stepped forward and comforted: "It's okay, you have to have confidence in him." I'm sure Lu Qing will find out about this. ”
"It's disgusting to see him in danger and not be able to help." Akai scratched his hair in frustration. "It's the same thing, we've seen our peers killed, but we can't do anything about it. I think the purpose of Space is to torture every dreambreaker. So what we can do is to believe in our peers, believe that they can overcome difficulties and come back successfully. Ji Chenghui rarely opened his mouth to comfort Akai.
"I hope Brother Qing can return safely......" Akai muttered to himself as he stared at the screen. At this time, the TV screen suddenly disappeared and turned into a black screen. "What's the situation?" The rest of the group couldn't help but get nervous. "Oops! There's a new mission. Xu Zhen explained to the rest: "Sometimes on the same day, the space will issue different tasks. Which of you got the prompt? ”
"It's me." Akai replied with a pale face. "Huh? No one else? The rest of the team shook their heads. Xu Zhen's face was solemn, and he said to Akai: "You are the only one on this mission. But don't worry too much, the smaller the number, the lower the difficulty. Come on! I hope you return safely. ”
Akai nodded and said to Xu Zhen: "Actually, I'm not afraid of anything else, it's just a pity that I can't look at Brother Qing." If he comes back first, help me bring him a message: buddy will definitely come back alive! ”
"Okay. I believe you! Xu Zhen patted him on the shoulder. Ah, Brother Dai, your mission is coming! Xie Yuxuan pointed to the red letters on the TV and said.
After Dai Shikai carefully read the task, he smiled easily and waved his hand at the others and said, "Then buddy will go first, bye-bye!" Then he disappeared in place.
After Tang Tian finished reading the task, he asked Xu Zhen with some concern: "He is alone in this mission, can he do it?" Xu Zhen stared at the TV and said thoughtfully: "Don't underestimate him, he was just covered by Lu Qing's light, so you didn't notice." This young man, after the first contact with the mission, I always felt that he was hiding. He's not as heartless as he seems......"
The TV footage resumed, and Lu Qing, Tang Shiyu, and Wei Mian were carefully searching the backyard of the village chief's house. According to Wu Xiaoyong and Wu Xiaozhuang, the village chief and his wife dragged Miao Yuxue's body into the hall. As a result, the rooms connected to the hall and the backyard became the focus of the search.
In the middle of the living room of the village chief's house is a round table for eating, on the left and right sides are tables, chairs and some furnishings, there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which are quite antique, and the floor is also made of cement, and there is no place to hide the corpse. The left side of the hall is connected to the kitchen, and on the right side is the storage room, where a lot of vegetables and grains are piled up; The backyard area is relatively large, there are a few chickens in the free-range, and there is also a pigsty, which originally had three fat pigs, but in order to welcome Lu Qing and others, one has been slaughtered.
On the first night, Hang Guang and others searched the village chief's room, but there were no clues. However, because the time is relatively tight, and I am afraid of alarming the village chief and his wife, there will definitely be something missing. Tonight is the third night, and when the village chief and his wife had dinner before, Fan Huan added some drugs with sleeping effects to their meals, so the two of them slept very sweetly. Lu Qing and the others can finally search with confidence.
Fan Huan and Li Wenqiao were in charge of searching the hall and kitchen, Hang Guang and Yang Ting were searching the storage room, and Lu Qing led two newcomers to search the backyard. Li Wenqiao and the others carefully surveyed the hall first, and they didn't even let go of the calligraphy and paintings on the walls.
Fan Huan carefully put the tables and chairs back in place, trying to restore the previous placement as much as possible, so that no one could see that there were traces of being moved. He set up the last chair and said to Li Wenqiao: "The hall should be completely cleared of suspicion." I don't think the corpse will be hidden in the hall either. People come and go here, dinners, discussions and meetings are all here, and I don't think the village chief is so bold. Li Wenqiao nodded: "There is no trace of the cement on the walls on the ground being rebuilt, and the walls are solid, so the corpses will not be hidden in these places." Let's go to the kitchen! ”
Fan Huan nodded: "The captain saw Miao Yuxue in the kitchen before, although the appearance of the ghost has little to do with the location, but we also have to be careful." I'll go in in a moment, and you observe at the door. If something is wrong, you run first. When Li Wenqiao heard his words, he was quite moved: "I'm very glad that our district is full of good people like you and the captain." Don't worry, I'll be careful, and I promise, I won't hold you back! ”
In the storage room, after Hang Guang removed the rice bag in the corner, he finally found something: "Yang Ting, come here!" You see, there seems to be a cellar here. Yang Ting shone a flashlight: "Really, we didn't notice it when we searched before!" "There's a secret door on the floor in the corner of the storage room that you won't notice if you don't look closely.
"Oh my God, there's probably a body hidden down here! Let's go and inform Brother Qing! Yang Ting said happily.
She pulled Hang Guang and was about to leave, but Hang Guang stopped her: "I'll open the cellar first and take a look, in case there is nothing in it, wouldn't it be empty joy." Hang Guang has his own plans, and this time he found a clue, and he can finally raise his eyebrows. Yang Ting frowned and said, "Isn't this good?" Brother Qing said, you must not act rashly, and you must report any discovery to everyone. ”
Hang Guang smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't go down." Let's open the cellar on it, and I'll shine a flashlight. "But ......"
"Well, nothing. Here, you can help me get a flashlight, I'm going to open the cellar door. "Okay, then you pay attention to safety......" Yang Ting took the flashlight and helped Hang Guang illuminate the corner. She always felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was something terrible sealed in the cellar that would be released by Hangguang.
Hang Guang rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and struggled to open the secret door. After the door opened, he motioned for Yang Ting to hand over the flashlight to him. Holding a flashlight and shining it down, I saw that a staircase extended down the secret door to the ground, and the cellar was about two meters high, and the area was not very large, and there were several large jars. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a sour and salty smell, which should be used by the village chief's house to store pickles for winter.
"There's nothing but those jars." Hang Guang was a little disappointed. "Will it ...... Did they divide the bodies and put them in the jar? Yang Ting's words made Hang Guang frightened, he was sweating because of nervousness, but at this time he was trembling, and the flashlight also slipped down and fell into the cellar. You're right, it's very likely! Let's go find the captain! At this time, Hang Guang was also a little scared, "Let's throw the flashlight there first, let's go." "Well, I think it's scary here, let's go." Yang Ting nodded, turned around and walked out the door.
Before leaving, Hang Guang glanced back at the cellar uneasily, and the flashlight was lying quietly on the ground. However, by the light of the flashlight, he saw a pale face in horror. This is ...... "How can you ......" Before Hang Guang could speak, he was violently dragged down by the ghost hand stretched out from the cellar.
"What's wrong?" Yang Ting heard his voice and turned around, only to find that the storage room behind her was empty. The door of the cellar was still quietly open, and the light of the flashlight inside could be faintly seen, but Hang Guang was gone! "Hang Guang? Are you still there...... No...... Don't scare me...... Please......" Yang Ting's eyes flashed with tears, and she asked tremblingly. She stood outside the door and shone a few times into the house with a flashlight, and after making sure that Hang Guang had disappeared out of thin air, she knew that Hang Guang should have been killed!
