Chapter 50
This person turned out to be Mrs. Smith!
The kind smile of the past was gone, but turned into an eerie laugh, her old hands grasping my shoulders and her slender nails digging into my flesh. My shoulder was oozing blood, her overly white eyes were looking ahead, and I swallowed.
"You're not my grandmother! So who are you? The boy's eyes were filled with fear and inexplicable anger.
"You don't need to know who I am, don't get burned!" Mrs. Smith said, raising her head.
I caught a glimpse of a crow's mark on her hand, damned, again Kalgar's men.
Maybe I still have something to gain, at least the boy is not Kalga's subordinate, which reassures me a lot, I can still deal with this kind of old lady alone.
"And where is my grandmother?" Philip apparently didn't realize the danger and took the liberty of asking.
"Your grandmother? Don't laugh anymore, look at what this is? Mrs. Smith pointed to the body on the ground, "This is a painted skin, a dead man's leather cover disguised as another person, so your grandmother has already gone down to the Nine Springs, so she must have crossed the bridge." Don't forget, I love Chinese culture. Mrs. Smith's hoarse voice crept into my ears like a poisonous snake.
"You killed my grandmother!" Philip was already about to rush up and question Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, the mission requires. Thank you, Philip, for helping me catch this little detective. "Mrs. Smith grabbed my shoulders harder.
Suddenly, there was a dog barking from the entrance to the tunnel, and Philip smiled confidently, the same arc of the smile as when Miss Kit knew the outcome of the mystery in her chest.
I saw him throw a meat bone at Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Smith picked it up, probably trying to throw it back, but I was just about to say that he was dying, when suddenly a big yellow dog rushed over, perhaps smelling the meat.
The dog rushed over and bit Mrs. Smith's hand. Because of the pain, she let go of me and went to slap the dog who had spoiled her good deeds.
"Run!" Philip took my hand and ran forward.
Before Mrs. Smith could catch up, I was out of breath and asked him as I ran, "Do you know where the Big Dipper Arrow is?" I tell you, I am ...... I'm a detective, and I'm tracking...... Those who killed your grandmother include others. ”
"Lisa, I believe in you! You must find the organization that killed my grandmother! Now let's get out of here. "Philip probably thought I was running too slowly (I'm not good at running) and picked me up sideways.
"She's going to catch up, what to do! It's almost the end! I asked him.
"Not yet, but soon!" Philip replied to me.
Mrs. Smith's shadow was already imprinted on the wall.
I saw a light in front of me and shouted, "It's almost the end!" ”
"You can't escape, little detective!" Mrs. Smith's eerie voice was behind me, and I didn't have the courage to look behind me.
There was an exit in front of him, and the man behind him suddenly took out his musket and fired a shot at the gravel on the hole in the ground, and countless rubble rolled down, blocking the exit.
Philip was crushed by the rubble, and the dagger under him accidentally cut his carotid artery because it had no shell.
"Philip!" I yelled at him.
Mrs. Smith had already rushed over, and the distance between me and her was so close.
