Within seconds of talking on the phone with the mysterious man, Xu Yi disappeared. The door of the hotel was open, and I hurried out, the hallway of the hotel empty. Several light bulbs were broken, and the long aisle looked very strange in the dim yellow light.

My heart was beating so hard that I rushed downstairs almost immediately. It was too late and there was no one in the hotel anymore. My breath was very blocky, the smell of disinfectant water in the hotel kept pouring into my nasal cavity, I ran to the counter of the hotel, and the waiter on duty saw that I was so anxious and immediately asked me what was wrong.

"Where's that girl with me?" I asked breathlessly, sweating profusely because I was so nervous that I had only run a short step.

The waiter asked me if I was a girl in white, and I nodded hurriedly, and he pointed outside and said that just a minute ago, a girl in white happened to walk out with a blank expression. At this time, no one was in or out of the hotel at all, so I was very sure that the girl in white that the waiter said was Xu Yi.

I didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed out of the hotel. Outside the hotel was a street, and I looked around, but I didn't see Xu Yi. There were no people at either end of the street, and it was impossible for Xu Yi to run far in such a short time, so immediately, I set my eyes on a small alley next to the street.

The rain was still falling, and the pouring rain instantly drenched my whole body. The street lamp stretched my shadow, and I ran to the mouth of the alley, and when I looked inside, it was so dark that I couldn't even see the road under my feet. Without any hesitation, I walked into the alley, and while shouting Xu Yi's name, I took out my mobile phone and dialed Yang Fan's number.

The faint blue light of my phone was not enough to illuminate the road in front of me. I couldn't hear anything but the rain, my feet were slippery, and I strode forward, almost slipping several times. Finally, Yang Fan answered the phone, and I quickly told him the situation and where I was, and he immediately said that he would bring someone over.

Putting away my phone, I continued to walk forward, from the time I entered the alley to now, I have only walked for less than a minute, I don't know if I was too anxious, or if the heavy rain slowed down my pace, I felt that I had walked for a long, long time. Finally, in the midst of the cacophony of rain, I heard another voice.

This voice is not unfamiliar to me, it is the mournful scream coming from the earpiece when the mysterious man calls me. The sound loomed, and I stopped, breathing in the direction it was coming from. It was the sound of a woman, and to this day, I can't tell if it's laughter or crying.

The cold rain flowed down the shirt and into the clothes, and in the rainy night, the scalp of the listener was tingling. I carefully identified the direction of the sound, it seemed to be floating, and I felt it was behind me, and when I turned around, it came from the other direction.

"Don't play tricks!" I screamed at the empty rain alley, and my voice was quickly drowned out in the pouring rain. When I yelled at me, the voice disappeared, and just as I was anxiously waiting, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of me.

It was the sound of high heels stepping on the rain, and step by step, someone was clamoring for me to approach.

"Who is it?" I shouted, but no one answered me.

The footsteps were still approaching, and I became more vigilant, squinting to see clearly, but the alley was so dark that I couldn't see who was approaching me until the footsteps were so close to me.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and just when I didn't know what to do, I felt the man throw something on the ground, and after the thing landed on the ground, it slowly rolled towards me. Soon, the thing reached my feet and stopped.

I subconsciously took a step back, and at this moment, several beams of light behind me illuminated the entire rain alley, and then, a rush of footsteps came from behind me. I looked ahead, the person in the high heels was gone, the person who came was Yang Fan, and I could already hear him calling me.

He ran to my side and asked me if I had found Xu Yi. I didn't answer him, I looked down and saw that it was a head rolling towards me, and because of the rain, the long hair was already sticking to the man's face. The people who came with Yang Fan also followed my gaze and looked down at the head.

At this look, everyone was frightened, I felt that my legs were weak, but fortunately, Yang Fan supported me in time. I didn't dare to confirm whose head it was, because I was afraid, I was afraid that this head belonged to Xu Yi.

"Captain Yang...... Help me see, this head's face ......" I took a deep breath and forced myself to stay calm.

Yang Fan understood what I meant, he let go of my hand and slowly squatted down. Yang Fan was very anxious to bring people out, everyone didn't bring umbrellas, but each person played a flashlight. Everyone stared nervously at the head on the ground, and finally, Yang Fan's hand touched it.

Yang Fan was slightly stunned, and then immediately picked up the head with both hands.

"!" Yang Fan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, smashing the head of the person he had just picked up on the ground. The human head was smashed, and with a crisp sound, it split in half. The head wasn't a real human head at all, it was a plastic model in the hair salon, and the night was so dark that the plastic model was wrapped in hair, so we didn't recognize it at all.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and although I was tricked, it was okay that what I feared did not happen.

Yang Fan had the head model picked up, and if something happened, the plastic model would be an important piece of evidence.

Immediately, I rushed forward with the seven or eight detectives who had arrived, and with the flashlight, I could finally see the situation in the alley. The alley is very long, and there is garbage piled up everywhere, but the smell of garbage has decreased a lot under the heavy rain. We kept running out of the other end of the alley, and I didn't find the guy just now, nor did I find Xu Yi.

After the mysterious man called me, a person wearing high heels appeared just now, that person was very fast, it is unknown whether he was the same person as the mysterious man, but he was most likely the person in red clothes that I saw outside Lao Zhang's house.

"Professor Li, what should I do?" Yang Fan asked me, his police uniform was also all wet.

I looked around, trying to find any valuable clues, I was in a hurry, Xu Yi was too important to me, and as soon as something happened to her, all my sanity was left behind me. Finally, after my nervous search, I finally found a high-heeled shoe in a garbage dump.

These are Xu Yi's high heels, and she has been here before.

"Look ahead!" I grabbed Xu Yi's high heels tightly in my hand and ran forward with everyone. We've been looking for more than ten minutes now, and it's still raining, so there's no point of stopping. Under the beam of the flashlight, the traces of heavy rain can be seen clearly.

At the end of the alley, there is a trail dozens of meters long, which I shined with a flashlight, and the path is connected to a mountain road.

I pointed to the road and asked Yang Fan where the mountain road led, Yang Fan looked at it carefully, and finally told me that the mountain road led to the Iron Tile Palace.

When I heard these three words, I had an ominous premonition even stronger. That place was the place where Qiu Xinghua killed people and dug up dirt, and as soon as Xu Yi arrived there, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Captain Yang, please ask someone to help me find Xu Yi nearby, I want to go to the Iron Tile Palace!" My instincts told me that Xu Yi was probably heading in the direction of the Iron Tile Palace. Yang Fan thought about it and immediately gave an order, he and I ran to the mountain road, he had already asked people to go back and drive, we just had to wait here.

In the few minutes I waited for the bus, I was anxious, and this feeling was as devastating as when I mistakenly thought that the headless female corpse was Xu Yi. Finally, while I was waiting anxiously, two police cars came, and Yang Fan and I got into one of them, and without any hesitation, the car drove up the iron tile hall along the winding mountain road.

The raindrops the size of beans kept hitting the car window, as if it was about to smash the glass of the car window, and I looked at Xu Yi's white high heels, and my hands trembled slightly......
