Chapter Ninety-Six: The Cry of the Night
At first, I thought I hadn't seen clearly, so I wiped my already damp eyes and tried to keep my eyes open, and the scene in front of me was still the same as the first time I saw it. I saw that in the wreckage of the car, the polite man who was surrounded by the fire before, in a moment, as if the world had evaporated, there was no trace of anyone in the wreckage.
Not even a single scum, so to speak, remains. In such a short period of time, coupled with such a heavy rainstorm, it would be too much to say if there was no trace left, but it is true.
The rain ran down my cheeks mercilessly, and my eyes, which I had just dried off, were soaked with rain. Looking at the side, the only remaining Li Yu, a trace of foreboding spread on my body. "Will it be me and Li Yu next?" Thinking like this, I was surprised to see that Li Yu also handed his eyes to me at this time, his face looked a little pale, and he unnaturally showed a tiredness, and said lightly: "Go to your house."
The former inn's business hall is no longer there. Hearing Li Yu's proposal, I was slightly stunned, then nodded lightly, and walked straight to the No. 1 room where I had stayed before.
The rain was still falling, making the quiet night no longer quiet, casting a shadow of unease. Li Yu and I each sat on a chair, facing each other. I raised my head slightly, only to see that Li Yu seemed to be thinking about something, lowered his head, and his eyes fell straight to the floor, falling into a state of contemplation.
Perhaps sensing that someone was observing him, Li Yu slowly raised his head, didn't speak, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to me.
I took it with a little puzzlement in my heart, and as soon as my eyes fell on the paper, I was immediately startled, only to see what was written on the paper: No. 48, Jinyuan Road, Linfeng Town, Wuxiang District, Haichang City, which is exactly the same as what was shown on the paper I got. With a hint of surprise in my heart, I suddenly handed the blank paper I had obtained in my arms towards Li Yu.
As if he didn't expect that I would have this note on my body, Li Yu's face changed, and he fell into a state of contemplation. I carefully compared the notes on the two pieces of paper, and it was clear that they were printed by the same person, which means that while secretly giving me news behind my back, I was also passing on the news to Li Yu.
At this time, it was as if I had sunk into a fog, and I couldn't find any direction. At this moment, Li Yu seemed to think of something, and did not look at me, and said to himself: "My employment relationship with Berham has broken down."
In just one sentence, a huge wave rose in my heart. You must know that Bohan has always been a big consortium backed by Li Yu, if there is no support from Bohan, then ......, thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "No! Bonham banished me and the fat man and wanted to keep the secret behind the little clay figurine for himself. It is very likely that it also expelled Li Yu, and Li Yu, as a descendant of Li Zicheng, his greatest ambition is to be able to find what his ancestors left behind. At the moment, Li Yu's most precious thing was obtained by Berhan, and naturally the cooperation between the two did not exist."
To put it another way, at the beginning, Bohan, me, and Li Yu were in a cooperative relationship, which was an ally. After that, because of the relationship of interests, Bonham began to kick me and Li Yu apart, that is to say, Li Yu and I became natural people, enemies of enemies, and naturally became my friends. And Li Yu can be said to be my friend now, so does the person behind him know that Li Yu can stand on my side and deliberately use means to fool her here to help me?
All sorts of thoughts came through my head, and in the end, I felt that the first thought was the most explanatory. At present, there is always a pair of eyes looking at me behind my back, so to speak, a certain force is indirectly sending people to follow me. Maybe the person behind him wanted to pass on a certain message to me, but it was not very convenient, so he specially recruited me here, which can also explain what the most fundamental purpose of coming here is.
Shaking my head, which was still a little dazed, I was surprised to find that Li Yu, who had been in front of me before, had disappeared in front of my eyes at this moment. I quickly looked back and forth, but I couldn't see a trace of Li Yu's figure at all, and a chill was coming towards me.
I clutched the pistol with few bullets, and my eyes quickly wandered around me, and my footsteps moved towards the surroundings little by little. My gut tells me that there's always something going to happen, but I can't say it. In this way, I kept walking under the porch, and at the slightest movement next to me, I would look over, and I would be a little frightened. More than half an hour after Li Yu disappeared, I wandered aimlessly around the entire hotel, perhaps after walking for some time, my feet were sore. I was just about to rest, when I suddenly saw a white shadow flash not far away, accompanied by the pouring rain, a thin handkerchief slowly fell in the air.
Xiao Ke!
Before I could react, just behind me, that is, under the porch, a figure suddenly appeared, and as soon as I turned around, when the pistol was pointed at the person, I suddenly found that the person who suddenly appeared was Li Yu. It really scared me half to death, I breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly put away the gun, and saw Li Yu's face in front of me suddenly change, raised the pistol, and shot at me.
I only felt a pain in my scalp, and then I heard the bullet suddenly hit a wooden pillar behind me, and just behind me, it seemed that someone had hit the doorrail with a small sound, not very loud, but just enough for me to hear.
It turned out that Li Yu was saving me just now. While I was glad, I was surprised to see that Li Yu was already walking towards me quickly. Without waiting for me to react, he took my gun straight away, then quickly took off the jade pendant around my neck, and suddenly ran towards the dark night ahead.
Everything happened so fast! I froze in place, looking a little overwhelmed, what the hell is going on?
"Xiao Ke! Xiao Ke: "Just when I was puzzled, a shout suddenly came from a place behind me. It was so familiar, I walked over to take a look, and saw Li Yu, whose face was pale, half lying on the ground, looking very weak, with a bullet on his thigh, and the wound had already dried up. I was shocked, looking at "Li Yu" who had disappeared not far away just now, and then at Li Yu who was lying quietly in front of me, I was suddenly shocked, the one just now was fake!
Li Yu, who was already very weak, opened his middle finger and index finger, and whispered in his mouth: "Two people, two people", after speaking, the whole person was about to fall, I took advantage of the situation to help up, Li Yu, who was half-open and half-closed, seemed to be still saying something, and his lips moved again, but he didn't listen to his voice. Seeing this situation, I immediately attached myself to Li Yu's mouth, only to listen to Li Yu keep repeating in his mouth, "hairpin, hairpin".
"Hairpin" I was slightly stunned, looked at Li Yu, who was already unconscious, and hurriedly took out the hairpin in my arms. Isn't there anything different about hairpins made of plastic? I touched my hand hard towards the top of the hairpin, maybe it was a little long rubbing, the surface of the hairpin emitted a trace of warmth, and then a strange scene suddenly happened.
The hairpin, which seemed to be ordinary before, suddenly shot out an emerald green light. In the dark night, it is not so much the light emitted by the hairpin, but rather a small means made by someone with a heart on the hairpin, making the hairpin like a "receiver", so that the special substance on the hairpin initiates the light. I followed the source of the light, that is, along the light that was mapped onto the hairpin, and walked straight away.
It didn't take long for a dark shadow to stand there at the source of the light, with his back to me, and his whole body was wrapped in a black robe, so I couldn't see his face. I was stunned and picked up the human skin mask on the ground, one was Li Yu's, and the other turned out to be my own. And on the side next to me, there was a corpse lying quietly that had not long died, still with thick blood, and to my slight surprise, the corpse was the well-mannered man.
I looked ahead in confusion, and before I could speak, I saw the black-robed man with his back to me throwing it backwards, flying right at my palm. I took it and saw that the black dot-like thing suddenly turned into a mobile phone when it fell into my hand. Puzzled, I opened the switch on the phone, and was surprised to find that the boot drawing of the phone turned out to be the drawing displayed on the disc containing the small clay figure, and the small clay figure placed on the disc could still be vaguely seen on it.
Who the hell is he? He was able to get such a big secret, so why did he give it to me? A series of questions flashed in my mind, and before I was ready to open my mouth to ask, I was suddenly awakened by a "pop" sound, the black-robed man was no longer there, and the jade pendant that had been taken away before suddenly stopped beside me.
"Is this the end of it?" I asked myself like this, and then I thought of Li Yu, who was seriously injured, and hurried over. (To be continued.) )
