Chapter 53: Disappearing
"Another person? Who the hell is ......" Hearing You Yong's inference, Ye Yu's back felt a little chilly.
"It's not clear, but ......" Liang Yunxiao looked at Xu Yanwei. Let's talk about what happened when you woke up. ”
"I woke up and found myself lying on top of a bookshelf with a rope around my neck......" Xu Yanwei's face was pale, and his heart palpitated.
"Because the bookshelf was angled, I just woke up and my center of gravity was unstable, and the shelf overturned...... I fell down and was strangled by my neck, and I struggled to get to the ground with my feet up...... I heard voices outside, kicking the bookshelf next to me and asking you to come and save me...... But I didn't expect to be hung up as soon as the door opened...... Ahem......"
"The loud noise we heard earlier seems to be the sound of a shelf falling to the ground......," Ye Yu said as he looked at the bookshelves that fell to the ground. The murderer may have deliberately arranged it this way to attract us to come and open the door, so that we could personally strangle Xu Yanwei to death.
"Did you see the person's appearance when they were attacked outside the kitchen?" Liang Yunxiao asked.
"No...... I was attacked from behind, and I passed out before I could make a sound. Xu Yanwei lowered his head.
"Now Xu Yanwei's body is very weak, let's send him back to the room first." Zhou Hao said.
You Yong and Chen Tao helped Xu Yanwei up and left the room with Zhou Hao.
"Master Liang, aren't you leaving?" Ye Yu noticed that Liang Yunxiao was looking at the rope, as if he was thoughtful.
"Huh? It's nothing...... This goes. Liang Yunxiao smiled and put away the rope. This thing is also considered evidence, so let's keep it for now. After speaking, he went to Xu Yanwei's room with Ye Yu.
In the room, Xu Yanwei was lying on the bed weakly, looking powerless.
"Judging from Xu Yanwei's statement just now, the murderer who attacked and tried to kill him is likely to be the person who wrote the warning letter and killed Qian Yunneng." Ye Yu analyzed the current situation.
"But Jiang Xin's room has always been locked, how did this murderer transport Xu Yanwei to the room......" Liang Yunxiao whispered.
"If Team Zhou's key is indeed always by his side, then it can only be assumed that the murderer has a backup key, after all, Jiang Xin's door has no traces of being pried open."
"But there is only one key in the team, and the key to Jiang Xin's room has always been on me, and I haven't given it to anyone else!" Zhou Hao looked a little flustered.
"Maybe this man has the key to this house." Liang Yunxiao turned his gaze to Zhou Hao. "Before you settle here."
"It's ...... What do you mean? ”
"Don't forget the signature on that death notice, it's the former owner of this house."
"Do you think it's really Zheng Qiu who came back from the dead to do this!?"
"Hehe, I didn't say that." Liang Yunxiao spread his hands and smiled. "However, since he is in the name of the former owner, I think this murderer may be someone who is familiar with Zheng Qiu, and if so, it is not impossible to have the key to the house."
"Speaking of the teaser letter...... What Xu Yanwei encountered should be to cut your throat, so ...... Could it be ......" Zhou Hao's gaze swept over Chen Tao beside him, and a complicated look flashed across his face.
"For now, I'm afraid the man won't give up, and he should plan according to the prophecy...... In this way, we may all be at risk. Ye Yu said.
The crowd was silent, and the air was filled with oppressive tension.
"So what do we do now?" Chen Tao asked.
"The rest of the people should not act alone as much as possible, so as not to give the murderer a chance." Ye Yu said and looked around. "Wait, what about the Wanderer?"
"He went to the first floor to pour water for Xu Yanwei."
"Tsk...... It's not good to let him be left alone. Ye Yu frowned. I'll go down and have a look. ”
Before the words fell, a rush of footsteps rushed in, and I saw You Yong rushing into the room, his face full of horror.
"No...... Oh no! Money...... Qian Yunneng's corpse...... It's gone! ”
"What did you say!?" Zhou Hao's expression twitched, and he yelled at You Yong.
"I ...... I had just gone down to pour water, and I happened to pass by the place where we had put the corpses, and I swept my flashlight casually...... Suddenly, I suddenly find that Yoon-noh's body is gone! You Yong's face was full of panic. What's even stranger is ...... The black cloth was back on the portrait! ”
"How is that possible?! This...... It's so weird! Ye Yu suddenly felt a shudder.
"Let's go down and have a look." Liang Yunxiao said, and turned to Xu Yanwei at the same time. "You lock the door when we go down, and don't open the door to anyone unless we come back."
Xu Yanwei barely supported his body and agreed.
The group hurriedly left Xu Yanwei's room and went straight to the hall on the first floor.
As soon as they arrived downstairs, everyone saw at a glance that the place where Qian Yunneng's body was originally placed was now empty, and they rushed over to take a look, and found that the big black cloth that was originally covered on Qian Yunneng's body returned to the wall again silently, and covered Zheng Qiu's portrait as if it had never been removed.
"Could it be that Qian Yunneng is not dead? How could it be...... He's been electrocuted like that! Chen Tao was a little confused.
"Deceived corpses! Qian Yunneng cheated the corpse! "You Yong is about to cry." I don't care...... I don't want this job! I'm leaving! I'm getting out of here!! ”
"Hey, wait......"
Before Zhou Hao could stop him, You Yong turned around and pushed open the door of the villa, and ran into the thunderstorm as if he was fleeing.
"Tsk, he must have driven his broken car, stop that kid!" Zhou Hao shouted. "Now it's just his car, and if he runs away, we'll all have to be stuck here!"
Saying that, Zhou Hao also rushed out in a hurry, seemingly to catch up with You Yong.
"Hmph, the villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Chen Tao looked at Zhou Hao's back and snorted lightly, his face no longer had a hypocritical smile, but was replaced by a face full of contempt. "If he had a car, he would probably have left us behind and run faster than You Yong."
Ye Yu looked at Chen Tao in surprise and didn't speak for a while.
Since hearing the dispute between the two on the balcony before, Ye Yu felt that the relationship between Zhou Hao and Chen Tao was turbulent, but at least they still maintained politeness in front of people, but now Chen Tao despised Zhou Hao so bluntly in front of him, and he didn't even bother to disguise, it seems that these two people have completely torn their faces.
"Uh...... Anyway, let's go out and have a look. Ye Yu finally played a round and turned around to go to Zhou Hao and them.
"No need to go." Liang Yunxiao put his hands in his pockets, raised his head and pouted outside the door. "Well, aren't they back?"
Following the direction indicated by Liang Yunxiao, Ye Yu found that there were two figures in the rain curtain getting closer and closer, and when he looked closely, it was You Yong and Zhou Hao, who rushed out before.
"Yo, Captain Zhou, why are you back?" Chen Tao's words were full of ridicule.
Zhou Hao walked into the door of the villa and stared at Chen Tao viciously, his face turned blue.
"The engine of the car was damaged...... You Yong held his head in both hands, looking crazy. Can't escape...... We can't escape...... We are destined to die here!! ”
"Shut up!!" The furious Zhou Hao punched You Yong in the face, and at this time he didn't care about the fact that there were reporters present.
You Yong was knocked to the ground, and he was suddenly a little dazed, Ye Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Captain Zhou, calm down!"
"Die, die! Don't pull me! Zhou Hao was fierce. In such a critical situation, primitive survival** often allows people to expose their worst side.
"Hehe, shouldn't you be the most damn of us?" Chen Tao sneered and spit out a sentence. "It's all because of you!"
"Deputy Chen's words...... What is the meaning? Team Zhou, do you know something? Ye Yu turned his head to look at Zhou Hao.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about?! Zhou Hao pointed at Chen Tao and was speechless for a while.
"Am I talking nonsense? Hehe, do you dare to say that you don't have a weak heart? Chen Tao glared at Zhou Hao. Don't forget who came up with that idea in the first place! ”
"Shut up! Shut up!! Zhou Hao roared and was about to rush towards Chen Tao, but Liang Yunxiao firmly grasped his arm with one hand and couldn't move.
"Captain Zhou, it seems that you are still hiding a lot of things." Liang Yunxiao looked at Zhou Hao coldly. "Now that everyone is dead, we are trapped here, everyone's lives are threatened, are you going to say nothing now?"
"I don't have much to say!" Zhou Hao is still desperately quibbling.
"Oh? It seems that Team Zhou, you are quite forgetful, don't you really want to talk about those cats? Chen Tao is still adding fuel to the fire.
"Cats? What cat? Ye Yu asked.
"That's what the top meant, what can I do!? Besides, you and Qian Yunneng also have a share in this matter! Don't try to give me one! Zhou Hao seemed to have lost his mind a little.
"But you were the one who gave us orders at the time...... And, you did that. Chen Tao's cold words constantly stimulated Zhou Hao's nerves. If I were the murderer, I would definitely be the one who would not spare you the most. ”
Zhou Hao's face changed, and he stared at Chen Tao directly, as if he had been stimulated by something, and his eyes instantly became a little sluggish.
"Eat your brain and broken bones...... This murderer has a very strong purpose, and if you don't make it clear what happened, I'm afraid these prophecies will come true among us! Ye Yu helped You Yong and stood up.
"This murderer clearly holds a grudge against you, what have you done? It shouldn't just be because I've been sent to decorate! Ye Yu's tone was aggressive.
Zhou Hao bowed his head and was silent.
"Hmph, since you don't say it, then I'll say it for you." Chen Tao sighed, and before Zhou Hao could speak, he said something that shocked everyone else present.
"Zheng Qiu was killed by our Zhou team."
