Chapter 81: Suspenseful murder, wine reappears
Safety was ensured, and the construction of the base was temporarily completed. Xia Mi gave everyone a day off to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, in less than twenty-four hours, something happened in the base-
Tang Zhong died.
Died in his own room.
"I made an appointment with Uncle Zhong to have a drink together at noon today, but we haven't seen anyone. I asked a few people and said they didn't see it, so I came to his house to look for him. After knocking on the door for a long time and no one answered, I thought he had something to do. But it wasn't until the evening that I didn't see anyone, and I realized something was wrong, and called a few people to come and knock the door open, and I found out...... only to find out that Uncle Zhong had been killed. ”
The man's eyes were already swollen from crying, and he couldn't cry several times when he spoke. Xia Mi stood at the door, but the hand behind her back trembled.
Tang Zhong's death was too tragic.
A pair of eyes protruded slightly, and there was still horror in his eyes that he had not had time to fully reveal. The limbs twisted in strange positions, as if every bone had been broken by someone. The fatal wound was in the neck, a deep wound turned outward, and blood splattered on the bed and walls.
There is no doubt that he was killed.
"Boss, boss, you're going to arrest the murderer! Avenge Uncle Zhong! ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, the Tang family members around the room all nodded emphatically. Tang Zhong is kind and kind, and has always been quite respected in the Tang family, and with such a tragic death at this moment, the Tang family has not only pathos, but also resentment in their hearts.
Xia Mi didn't feel good in his heart, the person who was smiling and greeting yesterday turned into a cold corpse today, but the murderer may still be hiding somewhere. That last bit alone is enough to make your scalp tingle.
"Who is guarding the gates of the base during this time? Did you notice anything out of the ordinary? ”
Two red-eyed men walked out from the back of the crowd, gritting their teeth and shaking their heads, "No one has been in or out of the base all this time. ”
The fence had just been built, the power grid had been laid, and with the corrosive spring water designed by Yule, anyone who wanted to enter and exit the base had to go through the gate. Xia Mi originally thought that Tang Zhong's death was done by the outside world, but he couldn't be sure at the moment.
A living person could not break into the base by crossing two lines of defense in a row, and Tang Zhong's death was obviously man-made. Could it be that someone inside the base did it?
Not only did Xia Mi think of this, but others obviously thought of it too. I don't know who started it, and many Tang family members have their eyes on Yu Le. was stared at by dozens of people with resentful eyes, but Yu Le still looked lazy. With a cigarette in one hand and a pocket in the other, he said indifferently: "What are you looking at me doing?" ”
The young man's eyes were a little redder when he spoke first, "It's you!" It's you, isn't it? Why did you kill Uncle Zhong?! ”
As if hearing a very funny joke, Yu Le flicked the cigarette in his hand and sneered: "Yes, why? ”
His appearance became a provocation in the eyes of others, and the man who asked the question suddenly clenched his hand into a fist, and it seemed that he could rush forward at any time. Tang Jin clasped his arm when he just moved: "Calm down!" Is there any evidence for saying that Xiao Yu kills? I know you're all uncomfortable, but the more this happens, the calmer you be! ”
"He's a madman, he must have done it!"
Tang Jin's eyes sharpened, and he scolded: "What nonsense! ”
As the patriarch, Tang Jin has always shown a gentle image, but at this moment, he suddenly lost his temper, and the person who was reprimanded immediately became aggrieved. Gritting his teeth, he roared back: "That's it! We all saw it when we evacuated the hotel that day! There is a dissected man on the operating table in the basement! ”
After that, he counted several names in a row, and although the people who were called had white faces, they took a step forward one by one: "Patriarch, we have all seen it." ”
didn't expect such a sudden appearance, Tang Jin was slightly stunned, and then let go of his hand as if he remembered something, "It's not what you think, that person deserves it." "Picking up what happened on the top of the mountain, I said a few things, and the people who were shouting just now fell silent.
"I live next door to Yule, and I didn't hear anything unusual yesterday." is completely different from the attitude towards Yu Le, the Tang family is close to Shang Fu with respect, and when they saw him Yu Le speak, everyone was a little hesitant for a while: "Then let the murderer go like this?" Did Uncle Zhong die in vain? ”
Tang Jin rubbed his forehead with a headache and waved his hand: "Go, go, go back, don't run around if you have nothing to do!" We'll catch the killer. ”
No one moved.
Under everyone's gaze, Xia Mi, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Go back, I will give you an explanation for this matter." ”
With her promise, those who originally refused to leave left. Tang Jin sighed, deliberately adjusting the atmosphere: "These bastards don't even listen to me now, but listen to you." ”
Yu Le hooked the corners of his lips very face-savingly, while Xia Mi and Shang Fu still looked cold. The smile on Tang Jin's face lasted for less than two seconds before he also fell: "Why did something suddenly happen?" ”
It was only at this time that the indifference on Tang Jin's face, which had been strong, slowly retreated. Tears welled up, and his eyes slowly turned red. The merchant patted him on the shoulder, but did not say anything to comfort him. At this time, no matter how much you say, it will be pale.
After a long time, Tang Jin calmed down: "Did you find anything?" ”
Yu Le bit the cigarette in his mouth and didn't speak. The merchant carefully looked at the situation in the room and shook his head for a while. Tang Jin wiped his face heavily, and his voice was heavy: "Do you really want to let the murderer go unpunished?" ”
"Did you smell it?"
Tang Jin was still a little stunned: "What? ”
Xia Mi squinted his eyes slightly, and his tone was firm: "The wine is fragrant, very light." ”
Hearing her words, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then closed their eyes in unison. After about a minute, Yu Le was the first to open his eyes: "It's the kind of wine on the top of the mountain." ”
By the time they left the top of the mountain, they had already cleared the sick of them, and this strength-boosting wine was no exception. At this moment, after listening to Yu Le's words, the faces of several people changed in unison.
Where does wine come from? And who brought it in?
The two questions were like heavy iron balls falling into the hearts of several people.
Xia Mi glanced at the merchant and then at Yu Le, and then continued to look for clues in the house. The killer was cautious, leaving no footprints or handprints, and even the slightest trace could have been covered in blood.
After careful observation for a long time but still to no avail, Xia Mi gave up the search and instead sorted out the existing clues. No one enters or leaves the base, the smell of wine in the house is very light, the merchant has the wine she left for the group, and Yu Le has a lot to do with the people on the mountain, if it is because of these two clues, both of them are suspicious.
But in this way, the extremely frightened expression on Tang Zhong's face couldn't be explained. Xia Mi lowered her eyes, and something suddenly flashed in her mind.
