Chapter 20: Shadow Strikes
readx; "I've been thinking about a question, there is a certain interval between the time they were killed, so did the murderer squat in this place at a certain time?"
"And do you think he's still here?" Yang Mianmian asked. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
If he's still here, aren't we in danger? The trio agreed.
"Anyway, let's be careful, no one separates!"
The three of them leaned together, Jiang Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "The best way is for us to get out of here quickly." β
Yang Mianmian patted An Yan's shoulder and said very vigilantly: "Be careful, there are people!" β
An Yan looked in her direction, but saw no figure, except for a few slanting tree shadows reflected on the stone pillars of the eaves, he reflexively turned his head, and the old window paper made a rustling sound under the wind.
They took a few steps back and retreated to a narrower section, where the three of them cowered by the wall, looking around warily.
"I always felt like every step was on the line of life and death." Jiang Xiaosheng patted his chest, "If it really doesn't work, let's withdraw, this place is too weird, and I'm always suspicious."
An Yan thought about it for a while and agreed, although there are three of them, but there will be one more target for the murderer if there are more people, especially there is a girl here.
An Yan and the three of them were about to leave here, and when they passed by the courtyard, An Yan and Yang Mianmian, who were walking in front, found Jiang Xiaosheng behind them stop.
"Why don't you leave?"
Jiang Xiaosheng kept his steps one after the other, looked at them, and said with a strange expression: "I have a feeling of stepping on thunder. β
An Yan and Yang Mianmian glanced at each other, how could there be thunder in this kind of place?
"Xiaobai, don't make trouble!" Yang Mianmian looked at him helplessly.
She felt that this was completely Jiang Xiaosheng's psychological effect.
"I didn't make a fuss, I really felt like I stepped on something just now" He felt it seriously for a while, and suddenly found that the soles of his feet were soft, was it really an illusion?
Just as he carefully raised his foot, a sudden change occurred, and a muffled snort suddenly came from Jiang Xiaosheng's feet, followed by a loud noise, and all the people with bricks flew out.
When An Yan came back to his senses, he saw a big hole appear in the ground, and Jiang Xiaosheng fell to the side on his stomach.
He hurriedly ran over to check the situation, turned Jiang Xiaosheng over, found that he had passed out, and then checked his body, but fortunately, there was no major injury, just a little rubble abrasion, An Yan motioned Yang Mianmian to get some water, Yang Mianmian nodded, and then went to the well to get water.
An Yan pinched his person, Jiang Xiaosheng woke up in shock, his eyes widened, and he gasped for breath, "Damn, play really?" I really thought I was going to be blown to pieces! β
An Yan helped him to his feet, and they looked at the dark hole in the ground, the hole was not very deep, but the area was the size of a marble floor tile, and the ground was still smoking, and the ground was scattered with crushed stones and dirt all around.
An Yan shook his head and said, "Fortunately, it's not a real bomb. β
"If it was a real bomb, your brother and I would still be standing here, and I would have gone to the west to see the Buddha a long time ago."
"These things can't kill youβ" An Yan looked up and down, "but in my opinion, your soul was half lost in fear." β
Jiang Xiaosheng glanced at him, pushed away his support, and diverted the topic: "What about that little girl?" β
An Yan squatted at the explosion point and replied, "Oh, I'll get you water." β
"When did you go? How to take a water is also slow. β
There are also a lot of white substances scattered in the scorched soil, and there is a very pungent smell when you pick it up, giving people the smell of burnt plastic, and according to the scale of the explosion, the preliminary identification should be a violent movement caused by a chemical reaction.
"I don't think he's trying to blow you up, it's a warning or something else."
"Anyone so bored to bury this stuff here! The scared soul of the old man is gone."
An Yan shook his head and said, "We underestimate him too much, I think his ultimate goal is not to take our lives, but to drive us away." You see, being able to use a chemical reaction to create a small explosion, and setting the location here, means that he is very sure that we will definitely pass through here, and whoever touches this mechanism will cause an explosion, which is a good deterrent. β
Seeing that the head of his analysis was Dao, Jiang Xiaosheng was still puzzled, "Why does he think that we will definitely be recruited, this place is so spacious, it is impossible to even count our footsteps." β
An Yan looked at the door and said to him: "He is not a god, I believe that such a thing must be buried in more than one place, and the probability of this is too small." If I'm not mistaken, there must be something similar under the floor tiles in the doorway. β
They carefully groped the ground, step by step, and when they reached the side of the door, sure enough, An Yan's idea was correct, there was a loose brick in the middle of the door, An Yan carefully picked it up, and found that there was a silver-white object lying on the floating plastic under the brick, as long as the downward pressure was applied, the silver-white object would come into contact with the water, plus the weight of the human body, and the violent impact would be felt under the huge pressure.
The silvery-white object was exposed to the air for a few minutes, and its surface gradually began to dim, An Yan and Jiang Xiaosheng looked at each other, and the two chemists said that they knew it.
"Tut-tut, really, I'm convinced!" Jiang Xiaosheng sighed.
After that, he turned to say: "Do you think that Yang Mianmian has been gone for a long time?" It's not been a long time, it's just too long! β
The two of them had an extremely bad premonition for an instant, and An Yan shouted: "It's not good! β
When they stepped into the backyard, there was the sound of a bucket falling to the ground from inside, and a figure quickly disappeared into the vacancy on the wall, Jiang Xiaosheng was about to chase it, but was stopped by An Yan, "No need to chase, this is a forest outside, it is not easy to find people, and it is not safe." β
Jiang Xiaosheng replied indignantly: "Let him run away!" "Looking back at Yang Mianmian's condition.
I saw Yang Mianmian lying on the ground out of breath, his face became red, his hand was still holding his neck, and he kept coughing.
When her condition was a little better, Jiang Xiaosheng asked, "What happened just now, who is that person?" β
Yang Mianmian glanced at him hesitantly, but when she saw An Yan, her expression was quite uncertain, and she said intermittently: "I was just fetching water by the well, and then I felt that someone was coming from behind, and I didn't care too much when I saw that it was an acquaintance, and I almost died." β
Acquaintance? You can also meet acquaintances in this place?
They looked at her and waited for her next.
Yang Mianmian then recounted the memories just now: "I thought he was here to help me, but when I didn't pay attention, he strangled my neck from behind with a well rope, and planned to push me into the well, but fortunately I ......."
"Do you see his face clearly? Who the hell is it! Jiang Xiaosheng asked anxiously.
Yang Mianmian looked at their expressions, and then replied, "Actually, that person isβ"
