Chapter 164: A Strange Girl from the Countryside
The handsome and dashing Lang Xiaobai is burly, has an extraordinary temperament, and is still a genius in makeup. These days, he dressed up as the wealthy Zhou Guoxiong, and with his talent, he gradually became the most prestigious social activist in Dongzhou.
One night, at midnight, he returned from the theater to his apartment. It was almost twelve o'clock, and the caretaker was also asleep, and he could only operate the elevator himself to return to the third floor. It happened that it was a public holiday, and the servant was also on holiday, so he had to unlock it himself and enter the room. Suddenly, he slowed down and stopped......
A beautiful girl with a pale face was standing in the room, and from her fashionable clothes, it seemed that she must have come from the countryside. The girl stood quietly in the room, looking at Lang Xiaobai with anxious eyes.
Lang Xiaobai opened his mouth and asked, "Are you ......?"
The girl quietly did not reply. But her lips trembled slightly, and tears seemed to come out of her eyes.
"What do you need my help with?"
"Yes...... Please...... Help me...... Help me......" The girl's voice was a little hoarse.
"Save you? What can I do? A young single girl suddenly breaks into a man's apartment at night...... This is outrageous, illogical. yes, how did you open the door that I had locked?"
"Because I have the keys too." A small key in the girl's palm was revealed in front of Lang Xiaobai's eyes.
"Oh! It's a spare key! Who lent it to you? Must be an administrator!"
"No, no, I got the key from someone else."
"Someone else? Who?" Lang Xiaobai's tone became serious.
"I'll tell you later."
Lang Xiaobai looked at the girl carefully, and a strange feeling rose spontaneously. And the girl's big shining eyes were also looking at Lang Xiaobai.
"You seem nervous, and you seem to be too tired! Tell me where you came from. ”
"Country. I went out of the house in the morning, and it was dusk when I arrived in Dongzhou, I took a taxi to the apartment, and learned about your room from the caretaker, but you were not at home, so I opened the door and came in to wait for you. ”
"Came to me from the distant countryside...... What the hell is going on?" Lang Xiaobai asked gently.
The girl was comforted on the sofa by Lang Xiaobai, and Lang Xiaobai also sat on the sofa and sat beside her.
"This ...... Alas, I really don't know what to say. ”
The girl fell into deep thought, her big bright eyes flashing with a frightened glint.
"I don't know exactly what is going to happen, but ...... My feelings tell me there must be terrible ...... Circumstances that do not identify the cause...... Don't think I'm nervously wrong, I really have a hunch, a horrible premonition!"
"But do you get hard evidence?"
"Of course not. But it's going to happen, it's true! I'm scared of ....... Fear filled the girl's eyes.
Lang Xiaobai felt that she was too nervous, so he took out a bottle of wine and some biscuits from the cupboard, trying to stabilize her chaotic emotions. At this time, the phone rang, and he grabbed the receiver: "Hey, who is it?"
"I, Xiao Bin."
Xiao Bin...... But I don't remember you at all!"
"Don't pretend to be confused."
"I still can't remember, you must have made the wrong call, the place I am in is the apartment of the wealthy Zhou Guoxiong."
"Haha! Mr. Lang, stop acting Okay, I already know about you impostor rich man. ”
"Okay, so what's the trouble with you calling so late?"
"Yes, it's urgent, I need your help!"
"And where are you now?"
"I'm in the South City."
"Ahh You mean I need to get to the South Downtown?"
But at the moment when Lang Xiaobai said "Nancheng District", the girl's beautiful face suddenly lost color. She quickly grabbed the other handset (the old telephone had two) and held it completely close to her ear.
"Where exactly is it in the South Downtown?" Lang Xiaobai asked, while paying careful attention to the change in the girl's expression.
"In a village called the Gold Rush Bridge, about 10 kilometers from the southern city."
"Isn't that a village with a big beach in the nearby river?"
"That's it." Xiao Bin said slowly, "I got peritonitis because I worked without sleep and food, so I came here to recuperate after asking for instructions. I'm staying in a farmhouse, you'd better get to me as soon as possible. ”
"How urgent will it be?"
"It's a strange thing anyway, and I'm unfortunately implicated. So you have to get here to help me. ”
"It's because I want to help you that I ask you what kind of urgency you have!"
"I couldn't say it on the phone. But things have become so complicated that there is no need to do anything about it. What's worse, another girl disappeared this morning. ”
"Ah......h
"After her disappearance, her brother-in-law searched along the riverbank, but some time later, his body was found on the island with a bullet in the head."
The earpiece in the girl's hand fell involuntarily. She staggered and collapsed to the ground, fainting.
Lang Xiaobai hurriedly put away the phone, carried her to the sofa with both hands, and fed her some sedative medicine. After doing this, Lang Xiaobai began to show his own tricks. When he came out of the inner room again, he had already taken off his disguise, and suddenly changed from Zhou Guoxiong to Lang Xiaobai.
He took the suitcase out of the cupboard and loaded it with the necessary tools for movement. Then he walked downstairs with the suitcase, started the car, and everything was ready to stop.
When he turned back indoors, he found that the girl had regained consciousness, but she was limp and unable to move.
So Lang Xiaobai picked her up, put her firmly on the car seat, and said in her ear: "I know that you must be the girl who disappeared from the Gold Rush Bridge, because the look on your face when you listened to the phone has completely told me, is my speculation correct?"
The girl looked up at Lang Xiaobai and nodded slightly.
"Let's go to the Gold Rush Bridge right away."
The girl's whole body trembled at once, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, because as long as we work together, we won't let you down. Rest assured, I'll take care of you. ”
The heroic Lang Xiaobai comforted her gently. However, when the girl found out that Lang Xiaobai had changed her face, she became even more nervous.
However, she had realized that she could not escape at all, and was quiet. Maybe I remembered the murder of my brother-in-law, or maybe I ...... She burst into tears.
During the time from Dongzhou to the village, neither of them spoke to each other. Lang Xiaobai gently stroked the forehead of the sleeping girl, and found that the forehead was hot. Although she was in a hurry, there was no better way to help her on the road.
Suddenly, a slurred word floated out of the girl's mouth, and then again. This must be the dream language of a young girl when she has a fever. Although Lang Xiaobai didn't understand the meaning, he still listened while looking ahead, holding the steering wheel and concentrating on driving.
