I turned my head and looked at the little man who was still combing his pill head, unhurried, confident, his calmness made me feel a little stable, this guy must be a hidden master, he must know something, or there is a safe way, no one can face life and death so indifferently.

The little man saw me staring at him, and seemed to be interested, and asked, "What?" Can I help you? ”

I couldn't help but choke on speechlessness for a moment, if this situation of bombs inside and beasts outside is not a problem, then what is the matter? It's like pretending to be your own life.

"You're kidnapped often?" I couldn't help but sarcastically mutter, "I think you're used to it, and I think you're used to it." ”

"Not often, two or three times." He replied, not making out any jokes. As he spoke, he casually pointed to the non-domain lions that were gradually surrounding outside, and asked, "Don't you think this is very unreasonable?" ”

"What common sense?" I asked hurriedly, and then suddenly I was struck by a flash of lightning, and I immediately replied, "It doesn't look like a kidnapping." ”

"Oops, I've learned to answer." He even had the leisure to joke, and when he saw that I was not smiling, he shrugged his shoulders, as if he thought I was bored, and replied weakly: "Yes, it is neither a kidnapping nor a murder." ”

"Murder?" I cried out loudly, how could things have developed like this, it was all related to murder, and God was going to let me meet all the bad things in one day?.

"If it's a kidnapping, it must be for some kind of blackmail, or for money, or for something, just like the two of us hostages" He pointed to himself and me, trying to laugh, but holding back. "It's supposed to be kept in a secluded and safe place, but where do you see this place?"

I groaned, let my mind turn quickly, and soon had a clue, and tried to analyze: "We should meet at about eleven o'clock in the evening, now look at the position of the moon, that is, two or three o'clock in the morning, if we are not in a coma for more than a day, then this place is at most three hours away from the place where we met, even at night, it takes a considerable amount of time to go out of the city, and there are also time-consuming and laborious things such as carrying in the middle, so it will not be too far from the main city." And there are such rare wild animals here, so it is most likely to be a free-range area for a suburban wildlife park. ”

"That's the first suspicion." The little man still retained a smile and continued: "You kidnap people and don't throw them at the zoo, for fear that no one will see them at dawn, and they are completely out of your control, what kind of kidnapping is it?" At best, it is illegal to feed animals. "It seems that he is really familiar with kidnapping, and he has a lot of experience.

"This is the first one? And what about the second one? "I found that there is a lot of reason for the little man's unhurriedness, his back to the big tree is good for the shade, and the sky is falling and there is its top, which makes me feel a little more at ease.

"If it's murder, it's even stranger, it's too cost-effective." The little man seems to like to say only the conclusion. But I already understood what he meant, and then he said: "Yes, yes, there are too many direct ways to kill a person, poisoning, sinking the river, car accident, even if it is a random knife and slashing, it is much more convenient than making an earth-shattering explosion or throwing it into the mouth of a lion, and it is more silent, this seemingly impeccable murder double insurance, in fact, there are many follow-up problems: the time bomb is too high-profile, even in the suburbs, this explosion will inevitably bring a wide range of alarm; And even if he is lucky enough to escape from the car and die in the mouth of the lion, it will inevitably be the focus of media reports. What's more, the superposition of the two must be an extremely sensational news breaking point, who would be so desperate for the whole society to pay attention to the fact of their murder? Why did he choose this way? "The more I talk about it, the more I think I'm scared of myself, maybe it's just a prank.

"That's a good analysis." The little man nodded, became interested, and began to teach me: "Especially bombs, in reality, time bombs are rarely used, and time bombs are more for large-scale revenge or to coerce others to achieve a certain demand, not just to kill people, otherwise why make such a big dial, besides, we are not political figures, what influence do we need to create by eliminating us?" The last few words, with the end accent raised, turned out to be a common tone in Northeast dialect on TV, as if he wanted to show his playfulness in this way.

I couldn't understand his humor, and anxiously asked, "So what's going on?" You said that this time it was for you, you should know better. "I hinted to him that this was for him, and that you must take responsibility and not act like you were nothing.

"Intimidation, or ......" The little man's brow furrowed slightly, and suddenly seemed to be a little angry. Or a test. ”

"Testing? What a test. "I don't know what's going on, I can't figure it out at all, what kind of test is this? Do you want to apply for the special forces? This little man doesn't look like a soldier.

The little man immediately smiled again and said to me: "As long as the other party does not have the intention of killing, and we do not have the capital to be made into a big deal, then the other party will definitely leave a way to find out if there is anything special in the car." ”

I suddenly thought of another possibility, and hurriedly said to the little man: "I have read a novel in which someone created a very sensational serial murder case in order to force the police to investigate the murderer of his wife and children, and pointed the clues to the murderer. ”

The little man suddenly threw over a disdainful sneer: "That's fiction, this is reality!" ”

I had to shut my mouth and fumbled in the back seat, when I suddenly remembered that my elbow was tingling from something in the seat.

I exhaled, thinking that it would not be another bomb, and I found the zipper on the back of the chair and took out an iron box about 20 centimeters long and wide.

I didn't have time to think about it anymore, and I snapped the lid of the tin box, and the silver-white box had no markings on it, and the contents were extremely simple and clear: a dagger, a sealed iron bottle without any markings, and a flare gun. But what is the use of these things for us now? Pick off the right bomb connection with a dagger, cut off the chains, and then take on the lions alone? Raise the bottle and shout lion, put them all away first? Is it only the flare gun that is reliable, firing a signal to let our captors spare themselves?

However, these things still look quite sophisticated, and the dagger is a flat-edged straight-handled knife with a large "SOG" logo, which should be suitable for cutting, chopping, and stabbing; The flare gun is a common double-barreled flare gun, which is also brand new, and there is still a faint greasy gun oil on it, but there is only one flare inside; There was no sign on the iron bottle, but it had a capacity of 1 liter, I carefully opened the mouth of the bottle, and gently fanned the wind in the direction of my nose with my hand, and a unique pungent smell immediately hit, ether! And it's a whole liter of ether!

The little man looked at these things and suddenly asked me, "Are you betting that the bomb won't explode, or are you betting that you will run away from the lion?" ”

"Didn't you say that this was just a scare and test, doesn't that mean the bomb won't explode?" I was stunned and asked anxiously.

"That's just reasoning, and the reason why reasoning can't be used as evidence to convict people is because it's just a possibility, just a high probability." The little man stroked his hair, an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel.

"I'll go!" I cursed fiercely, "Then there was a fart for analyzing for a long time just now, and in the end you still have to fight hard?" And waste so much time. "I was staring at that ticking time bomb for only three or four minutes. The most important thing in my life is the pursuit of caution and success rate, I don't even play mahjong with color, and now I want to gamble with my own net worth, what should I do?!
