Xu Yanwei glanced down at his watch, and then frowned and looked in the direction of the restaurant, as if he was a little anxious.

"Reporter Ye, they've been going to the restaurant for a while, why haven't they come back?" Xu Yanwei said worriedly. "Will it ...... Could something be wrong? ”

"Two big men, what can happen?" Zhou Hao blocked Xu Yanwei's words impatiently, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and dialed the lighter to light it, but the lighter seemed to be damp, and no matter how hard Zhou Hao tried, he couldn't spark.

"Damn, it's back!" Zhou Hao scolded, took off the cigarette in his mouth, and threw the lighter to the ground irritably. "I'll go up there and get a lighter, and I'll get down right now." With that, he got up and went upstairs.

"Don't! Don't be Team Zhou, it's dangerous for you to be alone, why don't you let us go with you! Xu Yanwei hurriedly got up and grabbed Zhou Hao's arm.

Zhou Hao didn't seem to expect Xu Yanwei to have the courage to stop him, he didn't react for a while, and he was fixed for a moment, but then he came back to his senses and glared at Xu Yanwei fiercely, waved his hand and shook off his arm.

"Damn, you kid even took care of me! I'll go back to my room to get something and pee by the way, do you want to come along?! ”

"No...... I didn't mean that......" Xu Yanwei looked a little embarrassed, lowered his head and pulled the corners of his clothes with both hands, not daring to look at Zhou Hao. "I'm worried about ......"

"Team Zhou is such a powerful person, so we don't have to worry about it." Before Xu Yanwei could finish speaking, You Yong interjected anxiously, and at the same time gave Xu Yanwei a desperate look. "Team Zhou, go and come back quickly, we are waiting for you here."

"Hmph, even if you know each other, stay here for me, don't come along!" Zhou Hao suppressed his anger, ignored the two of them, and hurriedly went upstairs.

"Is it okay for Team Zhou to be alone? Before, reporter Ye also said not to be left alone...... "Xu Yanwei is still a little worried."

"Oh, don't you know the temper of our Zhou team? Even if you follow the past, you will be scolded back. You Yong shrugged his shoulders and turned back to sit back in his chair. Leave him alone, we'll wait here. ”

Xu Yanwei looked at the direction in which Zhou Hao disappeared, turned his head to look at the restaurant again, and sighed.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Zhou Hao hid at the staircase on the second floor, quietly poked his head out and glanced downstairs.

It's good that I didn't come along.

Zhou Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around slightly, and walked towards the right side of the second floor.

Since he killed Chen Tao, Zhou Hao planned to implement his next plan, but Ye Yu's plan to gather people would undoubtedly bring inconvenience to his actions, so he had to find an excuse to leave alone, and Ye Yu and Liang Yunxiao's departure also created conditions for him in a timely manner, because he understood that You Yong and Xu Yanwei alone could not stop him.

The plan seems to be going well. Zhou Hao hooked the corners of his mouth proudly, and when he thought of the goal he was about to achieve, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, but then an inexplicable worry came to his heart.

That thing...... How could it be there? Am I mistaken? I'm ...... Alas, just in case, go check it out.

The more Zhou Hao thought about it, the more he felt uneasy in his heart, so he walked quickly to the door of his room, looked at him vigilantly left and right, and after confirming that no one was following him, he quickly opened the door lock and got in.

Lock doors, lock windows, draw curtains.

After quickly completing this series of preparations, Zhou Hao went straight to the bottom of the bed, and once again carefully pulled out the small cloth bag containing the metal box from the pile of debris at the bottom of the bed, and gently held it in his arms.

It's the same as when I left before, so it should be fine, right?

Zhou Hao didn't want to open the cloth bag, but somehow, a faint voice in his head was urging him eagerly, and an inexplicable anxiety spread in his heart.

Open it and confirm what's inside!

Zhou Hao was a little dazed, but when he came back to his senses, he found that he had opened the cloth bag, and his fingers were clasping the opening of the metal box.

Let's make sure again.

Zhou Hao opened the box a little numbly, originally he thought that he would see the ruby bracelet overflowing with colorful luster again, but he didn't.

The box was empty, and the bracelet was missing.

Zhou Hao was stunned, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and jumped up in the next moment!

"Where's the bracelet!? Where's my bracelet!? ”

Zhou Hao threw the box aside, leaned over and rummaged under the bed like crazy.

No...... Not here either! Where the hell did you put it!!

Zhou Hao straightened up and began to rummage through the room again, but still found nothing.

No way! That's impossible!! I put it back in the box!!

Zhou Hao hugged his head in a collapsed manner, shook his head nervously from side to side, and his eyes were bloodshot for a while.

Someone must have come into my room and stole something! Who stole it? Who the hell stole it!?

Who else stole it? It must be the one who covets my treasure.

The voice in Zhou Hao's mind reappeared, and with this voice flashed, it was Chen Tao's smiling face.

That's right! It must have been him, only he knew about it! Zhou Hao gritted his teeth with hatred. Where the hell did he put Dong**!?

It was on him, but now it's gone......

With the bewitchment of the ghostly voice, an image went from blurry to clear, gradually filling Zhou Hao's mind.

Sure enough, it was there...... I remember seeing it!

Zhou Hao suddenly thought of something, hurriedly opened the door, and rushed straight out.

Yes, it's there, there! I've got to get it back quickly, now!

Zhou Hao's hurried figure disappeared at the staircase, and in the darkness not far away, a figure stared coldly at Zhou Hao's back, and then quietly followed away.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Ye Yu leaned down, turned on the faucet, and poured a handful of water into his face.

The cold touch made Ye Yu's consciousness awaken a lot in an instant, and the dizziness caused by sleepiness and blood sugar reduction also decreased a lot.

Ye Yu rubbed his face vigorously and looked up at the mirror in front of him.

The man in the mirror looked a little tired, and the red blood from staying up late crawled up his eyes, making people look extremely haggard. Behind the man, there was a faint empty space, dim and difficult to see under the flashlight.

At this moment, Ye Yuzheng was alone in the bathroom next to the restaurant, while Liang Yunxiao was in the lobby of the restaurant outside the bathroom door, lying on the sofa and resting his feet, resting comfortably.

Liang Yunxiao's so-called "giving a ride with his own hands" was just alarmist after all, but in the end, Ye Yu still followed his advice and at least washed his face and sobered up. As Liang Yunxiao said, with Ye Yu's current state, even if anyone is in danger, he can't save anyone.

However, when he thought of Liang Yunxiao's appearance of being frightened and his prank was successful, Ye Yu was still a little unhappy in his heart, but this kind of unhappiness could only be said by Ye Yu himself.

I don't know why, although Liang Yunxiao claimed that he was just joking before, but at that time, his kind of aura, that kind of cold experience from the bottom of his heart, Ye Yu couldn't let go, and now Ye Yu has a faint feeling of "fear" for Liang Yunxiao in his heart, which is not his own psychological effect, but a physiological instinct, his body is telling himself that this person is very dangerous.

This person should be more than a "feng shui master", his thinking, his skills, and his senses are by no means what ordinary magic sticks can do, and they should have undergone special training.

Ye Yu secretly speculated that his thinking, which was originally a little rigid due to tiredness, began to operate rapidly under the stimulation of cold water.

But no matter what his details are, at least this person should not be unfavorable to himself, after all, if the other party wants to make a move on him, there are too many opportunities, and judging from his previous behavior, he is indeed protecting himself, and there should be no danger with him at present.

Having said that, my first assignment back to the journalist industry was a big case of serial homicide, was it fortunate or unfortunate? It seems that Lou Yue was right before, he is a "troublemaker".

Ye Yuzheng was silently laughing at himself in his heart, and suddenly a strange feeling came up, as if there were two eyes staring at him from behind.

Ye Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly picked up the flashlight next to him and turned his head suddenly.

The feeling of being spied on is gone, and there is nothing behind it.

Well? Delusion?

Ye Yu took a flashlight and shone it left and right on the bathroom twice.

This bathroom is not small, surrounded by walls on three sides, the only door leads directly to the dining room, and on the left side of the room is a dressing table and a large mirror, which is where Ye Yu is now; On the right is a small shower room and sanitary set-up; On the wall facing the main gate is a Western mural made of tiles. Although the whole room was a little empty, it was clean and tidy, but except for the door connecting to the dining room, there was no other entrance and exit, not even a vent, this strange layout made Ye Yu have the illusion of being in a prison cell for a while.

Looks like I'm so tired.

Ye Yu muttered in his heart, but he didn't think about it, turned to face the dresser, put the flashlight aside, and continued to turn on the faucet and wipe a handful of cold water on his face.

"I said Reporter Ye, have you washed it?" Liang Yunxiao's urging voice came from outside the house.

"Right away." Ye Yu shook his face and looked up at the mirror.

There were still water droplets hanging on the long eyelashes, which made Ye Yu's eyes look a little hazy, and through the reflection of the mirror, Ye Yu vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person standing behind him.

Is it Liang Yunxiao? They all came into the house to urge......

"Are you too sleepy to hold on, Master Liang?" Ye Yu complained casually, didn't pay much attention to it, picked up a tissue and wiped his face.

"Don't compare me with you, Master Ben is in good spirits." Liang Yunxiao's slightly mocking voice sounded from outside the house again.

"Hehe, don't talk so much, if it's time to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yu's movements suddenly froze in mid-air, and the whole person seemed to pass through an electric current, and it was cold from his neck to his fingertips in an instant.

Liang Yunxiao's voice came from outside, so ...... Who's standing behind me!?
