Chapter 100: Who's in the Shadows
Xiong Lei and Wu, who returned to the small inn, began to feel a little uneasy, they broke into Teacher Shen's house without permission, and saw Teacher Shen lying in a pool of blood, obviously killed, and the broken body of Ling Shu, who was suspected to be Teacher Shen's wife in the water tank, who killed it? Why is it that the group of cats that come to attack them for no reason? Who is the figure behind the curtain?
They don't know if there is some kind of connection between these things......
Wu Ke sighed lightly and asked, "Leizi! Now what do we do? ”
Xiong Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell Master first!" ”
Xiong Lei dialed the phone number left by Liu Yu and told Master the general story of the incident......
Liu Yu on the other end of the phone frowned slightly, and said softly: "If you want to report the case, in order to avoid trouble, you can find a public phone, or change another mobile phone card, listen to you, this matter is really a little strange, don't stay there longer, leave as soon as possible!" ”
Xiong Lei felt that what the master said was very reasonable, Xiong Lei thought carefully about what happened last night, he felt that according to the current situation, when he was in the courtyard of Mr. Shen's house for the first time, when he "asked God to come up", the cat that suddenly appeared obviously wanted to stop them from acting, and later when he saw that he couldn't stop it, to prevent the matter from being exposed, he had no choice but to kill Mr. Shen!
But Xiong Lai still didn't understand, why did this person stop them? In order not to let them see Ling Shu himself? Or is it to prevent them from helping Master find the Reclining Figure? Is that the person the one who is peeping behind the curtains?
The more Xiong Lei thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine, and looked at Wu Ke next to him and said solemnly: "Go!" Let's get out of here now! ”
Wu Ke looked at the sky outside, it was almost dawn......
"I wonder if Jiaqi hasn't woken up again?" Wu Ke said......
Xiong Lei hurriedly rushed to Jiaqi's room, banged on the door vigorously, and said loudly: "Get up!" Get up! ”
After a long time, a lazy voice came from inside and said, "I'm not eating breakfast anymore!" Let me sleep a little longer! ”
"Open the door quickly, let me in and talk......" Xiong Lei said anxiously......
"Wait a minute......" came the sound of tables dragging in the room......
It took a long time for the door to be slowly opened...... Jiaqi inside the door, wearing a sexy nightdress, rubbed her unkempt hair, half-squinted her eyes and said, "Why are you here so early......"
"Ahh Jiaqi suddenly screamed and said nervously, "Your face is ......," she asked in shock, pointing to the place where Xiong Lei's face was scratched by the cat......
At this time, Jiaqi's sleepiness has disappeared for most of her ......
Xiong Lei gently touched the wound with his hand and said, "It's nothing...... It's just a little injury......"
"Ahh Jiaqi exclaimed again, and her expression became even more panicked: "Why do you have blood on your hands?" Xiong Lei noticed that when he touched Mr. Shen, his hands were stained with blood, and he only rubbed it on the floor, but he didn't wipe it clean......
Xiong Lei said hesitantly: "Let's talk about it in the car!" Hurry up and pack your things! Let's get out of here now! ”
Jiaqi nodded stunned, at this time, she was completely awake, although she didn't know what happened to Xiong Lei, but she understood that Xiong Lei must have a reason for saying this......
Jiaqi said, "You can help me get my luggage to the car first!" I'll change my clothes and wash my face......"
Xiong Lei turned around and walked out with Jiaqi's suitcase, not forgetting to say as he walked: "Hurry up!" Drive in five minutes! If you can't get up, we'll go back on our own!" ”
Xiong Lei has seen the girl say "wash your face and come", last time downstairs at Jiaqi's house, Jiaqi also said "wash your face and come", but that time, Xiong Lei waited downstairs at Jiaqi's house for an hour and a half......
This time Jiaqi really didn't lie, and before five minutes came, Jiaqi ran to Xiong Lei's car in a panic, and asked a little nervously: "Tell me quickly, what happened?" What's the matter with the wounds and blood on the body? ”
In just a few hours, Xiong Lei encountered too many things, he didn't have the heart to explain too much to Jiaqi, Xiong Lei's heart faintly felt that in the dark, there must be an invisible person who was stumbling on them, and that person was likely to be the murderer of Mr. Shen's family!
Xiong Lei shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired now, I'll tell you later......"
Wu Ke, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said, "Otherwise, let's go home first!" We're just helping people, but now it's not only a difficult errand, it's dangerous......"
Xiong Lei's brows tightened, he started the car, thought about it and said, "Let's send Jiaqi back first!" No matter what it is, since I promised my master, I must do my best, if it wasn't for the master last time, I might have died......"
Jiaqi next to her was confused, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" Why did you send me back first? I'm not going back! Aren't you going to a few more places? I'm going with you! ”
"I originally thought it was just a simple scavenger hunt, but now it seems that this is not the case, so, for your safety, let's send you back first!" Xiong Lei took a deep breath and said slowly......
"I'm not going back!" Jiaqi turned her head away and looked out the window......
Xiong Lei didn't speak, after all, it would take a long time to drive back home from here, and if you want to get to the next place, you have to pass through the location of your home......
Xiong Lei, who was driving, was thinking about what happened last night in his heart, all this came too suddenly, so he didn't think about it at all, and now that he thinks about it, someone must be operating in secret!
It's just that Xiong Lei still doesn't know what that person's purpose is!
Was it as simple as that person just trying to prevent them from finding Ling Shu and retrieving the reclining venerable?
What the hell is this reclining figure? If it was something very important, how could Master let him, someone he had just met, come and pick it up? Just because of a headless and brainless two-line poem? If it's something unimportant, then why should the people in the shadows stop them?
Could it all be a coincidence?
Teacher Shen's death, the corpses in the water tank, and the sudden appearance of a group of wild cats...... All these strange, clueless things are just coincidences?
