Chapter 22: A Crisis of Confidence

In the afternoon, Shiraki followed Shi Kai to the woods behind the villa. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The woods are low, leaning against the mountains and in a sun-drenched position, but fortunately the sun is high at this time, so that the sun can shine through the depths of the dense forest.

Gradually, he wanted to walk deeper into the woods, but Shiraki only felt that the cold was oppressive, and when he looked up at the sky, the lush branches and foliage almost blocked all the sunlight. From time to time, there are also "cooing" bird calls, but the bird cannot be found.

"If you don't know this place, it's easy to get lost. Shiraki said as he memorized the path.

Shi Kai stopped, leaned on the big tree on the side and said to Bai Mu: "If you go inside, you won't even be able to see the sun, and it's extremely easy to get lost." When you get lost, pay attention to the trunk of the tree next to you, just like this big tree, the direction of the exit is engraved on the large surface. ”

Bai Mu looked at the place where Shi Kai pointed his finger, and there were indeed arrows carved on the trunk, no wonder Shi Kai could figure out the direction in a short time.

I don't know where I went, Shiraki heard the sound of the water, the sound was very small, and the water should not be in a hurry.

After walking about a hundred and ten steps into the forest, Shiraki saw a small stream, which must have been the river that Shi Kai said led to the bottom of the cliff.

Just following the direction of the river, Shiraki saw a stone wall blocking in front of him.

Hey?

Bai Mu curiously walked to the stone wall, squatted down to take a closer look, and found that there was a small hole under the stone wall, and the river water flowed through the small hole.

Bai Mu frowned and asked Shi Kai, "How can we get into such a small hole?"

I saw Shi Kai walk to the side of the stone wall and pick up in a mess of grass.

Bai Muzheng was puzzled, only to see Shi Kai drag out a log from the grass, this log was thicker than a person, and Shi Kai dragged it out easily.

Shi Kai dragged the log to Bai Mu, and Bai Mu saw that the middle of the log had been hollowed out and made into a canoe, no wonder Shi Kai could easily drag it.

Shi opened the log and said to Bai Mu: "If you want to reach the bottom of the cliff, you must cooperate with two people. One person lies in the canoe and follows the direction of the current to the bottom of the cliff, and when it comes time to return, another person needs to pull the canoe back with a rope outside. ”

Bai Mu listened to it and praised again and again: "What a wonderful way, let's act quickly, lest we see nothing when it gets dark." As he spoke, Shiraki picked up the rope in the canoe and put it together.

But at this time, Shi Kai was motionless.

"Tie the rope to the tree. With that, Bai Mu handed the end of the rope to Shi Kai.

But Shi Kai still didn't move, and he didn't use his hands to pick up the rope, just looked at Bai Mu like that, didn't say anything, didn't do anything.

Bai Mu always felt that Shi Kai was a little strange today, and felt that Shi Kai's words had become less, as if he had something on his mind, so he asked: "You are a little strange today, you haven't said a word along the way, is there something on your mind?"

Shi Kai was still unmoved, the two of them just squatted like this, one stood and looked at each other, there was no extra movement, and even breathing seemed to stop.

I always felt that a long time had passed, and finally, Shi Kai said coldly: "You, why do you want to investigate Shen Liang?"

Bai Mu looked at Shi Kai blankly, and gasped, in Shi Kai's eyes, Bai Mu saw puzzlement, doubt, and even doubt, could it be that Shi Kai had already doubted his identity?

"The bloody case in the rivers and lakes that made many people worry about it was solved by you. Shi Kai finally said the doubts that haunted him: "You haven't even figured out what happened to Shen Liang, how did you know that he would ambush Hengtong Dart Bureau in Banpogang?"

In the face of Shi Kai's questioning, Bai Mu couldn't answer, because he couldn't say that he couldn't reveal his identity, otherwise it would bring about death.

Shi Kai saw that Bai Mu couldn't answer, but he was a little disappointed in his heart, because how much he hoped that Bai Mu, the person who had helped him, would be able to answer fluently and prove that his worries were superfluous.

However, Bai Mu's silence made the atmosphere even more tense, and Bai Mu's silence seemed to tell Shi Kai, that's right, your suspicion is not wrong, I, there is a problem.

It's just that Shi Kai is unwilling to accept Bai Mu's silence, he doesn't want to see Bai Mu like this, because Bai Mu has helped him and helped Jinbu Villa, how can such a person have a ghost in his heart.

Shi Kai's incomparably contradictory emotions became excited, he tried to use hurried words to demonstrate the panic in his heart, and asked: "Shen Liang's last words and Qin Yan's words all prove that there is a mastermind behind the man in black. However, when the two black-clothed men were ambushed that day, except for Shen Liang who jumped off the cliff, the remaining one person, we found a letter on his body afterwards, and the letter was clearly written, these two people were the real murderers who caused the bloody case in the rivers and lakes. At that time, it was only you and the man in black at the bottom of the cliff, and if someone cheated on it, the only person I could think of was you. By the way, the whereabouts of those two men in black are so mysterious that the gangs and factions have tried their best to track them down but have found nothing, but in just a few days, with only a map, you can accurately trace the whereabouts of the men in black, how do you know?"

Shi Kai's questioning made Bai Mu speechless, because what Shi Kai said was not wrong, and any question asked by Shi Kai was enough to expose Bai Mu's identity. At this moment, Bai Mu has a new understanding of Shi Kai from his heart, Shi Kai is really not an idle person, it seems that he used to underestimate him.

Bai Mu squatted on the ground, raised his head and looked at the dense branches, and sighed: "That's right, what you said is not wrong, I do have a lot of things to hide from you, do you want to kill me now?"

Shi Kai smiled bitterly: "Kill you, I, Shi Kai, am not ungrateful, I can let you go, but you have to tell me, what is your purpose?"

"Hahaha!" Shiraki stood up and approached Shi Kai. "Do you think you can beat me?"

Shi Xingzhong knew very well that he was not Bai Mu's opponent, but now that there was no way back, Shi Xingzhong still regretted that he was too reckless and should not have demolished Bai Mu at this time. There is no way, between trust and suspicion, Shi Kai must figure it out.

Facing the approaching Bai Mu, Shi Kai had already clenched his fists, secretly thinking about how to defeat the enemy with one move.

However, Bai Mu stepped forward, but did not make a move, just stared at Shi Kai's angry eyes, and said lightly: "I don't know how to convince you that I am not a bad person, and I have no conspiracy." You're a smart person, and you're aware of tiny details that no one else has noticed, so you doubt who I am, what I motives, and what I've done since I appeared. I don't deny that there is a problem, I can only say that I have my helplessness, and there are some things that I didn't intend, but I can't explain it to you. All I can tell you is that what I'm doing now is so that I can show you what kind of person I am in the future. So no matter what happens, what I'm going to do now, I'm going to keep doing it no matter what. If you feel unwilling, then slap me with all your might, I won't fight back. ”

With that, Bai Mu turned around and turned his back to Shi Kai.

Facing Bai Mu's back, Shi Kai didn't feel a trace of murderous aura, he seriously thought about every word Bai Mu said, his eyes became dull, he didn't think that things would get to this point, he wanted a result, a black and white result. It's just that now, Shi Kai feels that the fog on Bai Mu's body is heavier, how to choose?

Looking at Bai Mu's back, Shi Kai let go of his clenched fist, and he finally chose to use time to verify Bai Mu's words.

Shi Kai stepped aside and picked up the hemp rope: "I'll go in first to investigate later, and make sure I don't go in again without you." ”
