A lot of tricks

() I was sitting in the back seat of the taxi, looking at the black head in front, I couldn't help but miss the talkative taxi driver from before.If it were him now, he would definitely use those messy gossips to make me forget all the entangled knots.

"I'm afraid I won't get there in two hours. Look at the car in front of you." The taxi driver's nasal voice was very strong, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and I can't be a minute late." I said, "It's fine if I add some money."

The taxi driver's head was motionless like a stone sculpture, and a muffled voice came: "How much more?"

Damn, it turns out that you are not a dull head. When you hear that money turns faster than monkeys.

"Fifty."

"one hundred."

"Okay, one hundred is one hundred, but you have to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier." I gritted my teeth.

As soon as the words were finished, the taxi driver suddenly slammed the plate and got into a path that could only pass two cars, and then swayed left and right on the path as if performing a car stunt, passing through the gap just right.

I was a little stunned. I saw the taxi traveling unimpeded all the way, shuttling through the city's road network like a spider's silk, as if entering no one's land, and various street scenes flashed by, making me dizzy .

The taxi driver's head remains motionless, but his dexterity has won me over.Good guy, this technology is no problem even if he participates in formula racing. If he goes to police, I believe that no criminal who drives can escape. It seems that the taxi industry is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In less than half an hour, the taxi had already left the urban area, and the speed increased immediately, like a shell fired.

Looking at the afterimage of the car going backwards rapidly outside the car window, I thought that I should take more taxis in the future if I have nothing to do, and get to know a few more talented people, maybe it will come in handy when the time comes.In the past, I always thought that taxi drivers were a vulnerable group, because every time I received a case related to taxi drivers, I saw them as bruised corpses, but now I finally understand that the survivors are elites ah!

The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and the clouds in the sky were pressing down low, as if they were about to fall from above, as if to herald something.

No, no, I kept comforting myself in my heart: the cloud has nothing to do with things, it is in the sky, how can it be related to things on the ground, it is just superstition.

But the clouds couldn't hear my thoughts, and they kept pressing down. If it wasn't supported by the mountains in the distance, I really doubt that it would have fallen down long ago.

Just when I was frightened and restless, the car stopped suddenly with a screech, almost hitting my head on the backrest of the front row.

Ten Willow Bay has arrived!

In front of him was a mass of dark shadows, some big and some small, which looked gloomy against the dimly lit night sky.I was about to turn back and ask the taxi driver to wait for me, but I heard a roar and the car had already driven away.

All of a sudden, I was the only one left alone in this gloomy wilderness, and a gust of cool wind quietly entangled me, making my limbs a little cold and numb.

I opened my mouth and smiled, and thought to myself: We are criminal police, how could we be harassed by these nonsense, I really laughed out loud!

"anyone there?"

I yelled towards the dark surroundings, but there was no response, not even an echo, as if my voice was swallowed by something hidden in the darkness.

I walk forward.Fortunately, I brought a flashlight when I came here, so I could still see clearly under my feet, but under the influence of the light from the flashlight, the surrounding area became even darker, and a strong pressure was formed, and I was in the same position as that pitifully small circle of light. At the central point of strong pressure, if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.

Touching the back end of the flashlight and pinching a small button, my heart felt a little more at ease.This is a police electric baton, one end can be used as a flashlight, and the other end can emit high-intensity voltage, which can make people faint instantly.In Shiliuwan, where murders and corpses are often thrown, having such an object really made me feel a lot more at ease, at least I would not be afraid of people.

What if it's not a person, but something else?

I hurriedly put an end to my absurd and terrified thoughts, raised the flashlight, and cast it in a circle. I saw some bushes and tall shadows in the distance, which should be willows.

"anyone there?"

The sound still never came back, I checked the time, it was 7 minutes to twenty.Suddenly, another question came to my mind, Ten Willow Bay is so big, and the other party didn’t mention the specific location, how do I know where I should be now?

I hurriedly looked around and saw a high ground, so I ran over.Apart from the willow trees here is the river bend, so standing on the small soil slope, I can almost see the entire Ten Willow Bay, but it is night now, so what I see is still a piece of darkness.

"I am coming!"

This time, the voice finally responded, but it was only an echo.

Woo!

A deep cry suddenly came from the darkness, like ghosts crying and wolves howling. I hurriedly turned on the flashlight to the brightest, and then followed the sound to illuminate the past, only to see a black figure suddenly jumping up from the woods, falling together , began to run along the loop, it turned out to be a local pig.

I took the flashlight back, and suddenly thought of something, so I shone the flashlight again, and finally chased the slow-running pig in the forest again.I saw a long black thread dragging on its body. When I took a closer look, it was a thread, a finger-thick nylon rope.

My heart jumped in my throat, it was obvious that someone tied it here on purpose, but who would be so bored to go to Shiliu Bay where the murderer threw his body and tie a pig to a tree?

My eyes fell on my wrist somehow, and I couldn't help being stunned, because I saw that the minute hand was exactly pointing at 12, and it was eight o'clock in the evening, which was the time specified by the other party.And at this point in time, a pig tied up with a rope broke free and appeared in front of my eyes.

A mysterious person and a wild native pig cooperate so seamlessly. Is this a coincidence or an intentional arrangement?

Could it be that the person who tied the pig is the one who sent me the mysterious email?

But how could he be so precise in his calculations, allowing this wild pig to break free at this moment?

When I think of this, a light flashes in my mind, yes, this is the crux of the problem!

I hurriedly ran to the place where the earthy pig appeared just now. Because of my excitement and nervousness, and the uneven ground, I fell several times in a row, and finally came to the willow forest in disgrace.

According to my memory, I found the place where I saw the earthen pig for the first time, but I didn't find it, so I searched around again. After walking about ten steps to the left, I finally found a willow tree with thick thighs that had wear marks on it. It should be the place where the earth pig is tied.

I looked, and the willow tree stretched out countless arms in the darkness, baring its teeth and claws like a demon.Fortunately, the willows in the north are different from those in the south. Their arms are not long enough to catch me.I went forward, turned the flashlight to the strongest, and examined it carefully.

There was nothing abnormal in the front, so I went around to the back of the tree. When the flashlight shone through, I saw a strange thing. It was firmly nailed to the tree. There.

It suddenly occurred to me that soil pigs eat grass, and their teeth have degenerated like a nine-year-old old woman, and it is impossible to bite through the nylon rope.That being the case, the rope was cut by this strange thing.

When I thought of the word "cut", my heart was stabbed severely.For some reason, after this series of cases happened, I was very afraid of this word. When I saw it, I would think of the process of the cold and sharp cicada-winged blade sliding in the human body, and I thought very carefully. Realistic, as if the person holding the knife is myself.

The flashlight shone directly on the strange thing, and there was something like an electronic board on it, a pair of scissors on the bottom, and a heavy object hanging from one handle of the scissors, beside the heavy object There are three protruding fulcrums.

I understood that this is a mechanism. The scissors were originally opened, and the heavy object was the source of power for the scissors to close and cut the rope. The heavy object was originally hung by a small hanging object on the three fulcrums.When the electronic board received the wireless signal, it vibrated and shook off the small hanging objects hanging on the three fulcrums, so the heavy object fell down, the scissors closed and cut the rope, and the soil pig escaped.

I have to admit that this thing is indeed very ingenious and creative. I believe many friends who like hunting will definitely use it.However, the other party has gone to great lengths, is it just to make me come here in the middle of the night to see his little invention?

I grabbed the mechanism, feeling that the wooden shell on the surface was not very strong, I was a little hesitant, should I take it apart to have a look.

Maybe the other party left clues here, or wanted to tell me something, maybe it was someone who knew the truth, because he was afraid of being exposed, so he went around such a big circle on purpose, just to protect himself.If I give up, then his painstaking efforts will be in vain.

I thought about it, tightened my fingers, and pulled it out hard, the wooden case opened, and a white cloth bag appeared inside.This cloth bag is not big, in the shape of a cylinder, only a little thicker than a finger. I even wonder if there is only one human finger wrapped in it.

Carefully opening the cloth bag, layer by layer, my doubts and fears were gradually released. The inside must not be fingers, because now the small cloth bag is very thin and short, and the hard object inside is much shorter than a human finger.

At some point, my forehead was covered with sweat. When the tension was no match for gravity, a bean-sized bead of sweat fell and dripped on the small cloth bag. As the sweat spread, a circle of faint The red color spread out from the inside, like a bloody demon's mark, which made people's hearts jump.Especially in such a dark night, such a place, and such an event, this faint red circle made my heart begin to collapse.

He tremblingly opened the last layer, and what appeared in front of him was actually a knuckle.

It's just one of the three knuckles of a finger. The blood has solidified after being away from the mother's body for a long time. My sweat just now diluted it, so the cloth strip was soaked.

At this time, I discovered that there were light traces on the cloth strip, which was light blue.Previously, I only focused on what was wrapped inside and ignored it.

I forgot my fear, took a closer look, and found that it was handwriting!Due to the red blood staining just now, the handwriting is a bit blurred, but it can still be seen clearly.

"100 meters to the east, if you can see this line in time."

I didn't pause at all, I jumped up reflexively, my potential ability allowed me, who was prone to lose my way in broad daylight, to accurately fly eastward.

The light of the flashlight slashed randomly in the dark night, it was because I panicked and fell sometimes.But I didn't pause for a moment, and rolled forward even when I fell down, because I had a vague idea of ​​the other party's intentions, and I also knew that there would be something 100 meters to the east.

I stumbled and ran forward for an unknown distance, when suddenly a ditch blocked the front, and the dark sky reflected on the water was still as black as thick ink, and I didn't know how deep it was, but I stepped forward without hesitation. After stepping in, the surface of the water suddenly stirred up, reflecting strange shadows one by one.At this time, I was like the white and tender Tang Sanzang who accidentally ran into the monster's den and stepped on the big monster's tail.

Suddenly, among the many strange shadows, I saw a familiar face and couldn't help but hold my breath.

Xiaoxuan?

I saw Xiaoxuan!

How is this possible, how could Xiaoxuan appear in the monster's den?

I hurriedly looked around, but Xiaoxuan's face just passed by, and then disappeared with the falling water.I was very anxious in my heart, and the flashlight shone everywhere.Suddenly, I saw a place about ten meters away from me, showing a smear of paleness on the black water.

The light of the flashlight flashed over, and when I saw the pale object clearly, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic. It turned out that it was Xiaoxuan's face!

Suddenly my heart fell down again quickly, why her eyes are closed, and she can't hear my voice, could it be that she has...

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I rushed over to her, hugged her in my arms, and shouted with all my strength: "Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan!"

Xiaoxuan's face was so pale that it turned blue, her lips had turned black, her eyes were closed tightly, and she didn't respond at all.I reached out and put my hand under her nose, feeling a slight air current, and my heart finally fell to the ground.

I hugged Xiaoxuan, I didn't know how to express my feelings, but the tears flowed down like a gambler throwing away a lot of money.I wanted to hug her a little tighter, but felt something down there preventing me from doing so, so I reached into the water and grabbed a brace.Only then did I realize that Xiaoxuan was tied to the bracket.

Suddenly he heard the sound of rushing water, turned his head to look, and saw that the ditch above was pouring down along a small sluice.I finally understood the meaning of the writing on the cloth strip. If I had been one minute late, I might never have seen her.

If this extremely perverted bastard falls into my hands one day, he will definitely make your life worse than death!

I thought viciously, but at the same time, I also knew that such a bastard with all kinds of tricks, whose cunning was comparable to that of a nine-tailed demon fox, would not be easy to catch him.

In the eyes of this bastard, other people's life and death are just a fleeting moment, he just plays his role seriously, and then lures others in to become his plaything.

What role does he want to play, the creator of the world?

But what really makes me chill is that he doesn't care about the life of a policeman, but just plays it like a game. This is an extremely crazy contempt.

I untied the string tied around Xiaoxuan's waist, but she was still unconscious, with her eyes closed, completely lifeless.I took her to the shore again, laid her flat on the ground, and squeezed her abdomen hard, but it still didn't work, so I had to do mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.

When I touched Xiaoxuan's cold, corpse-like lips, the anger in my heart exploded, but in the dark night, I couldn't find a target to vent, so I had to keep spitting on Xiaoxuan's cold lips.

With a sound of wow, Xiaoxuan's body twitched, and then she quietly opened her eyes.

"Xiaoxuan, it's me, look, it's me!"

Xiaoxuan glanced at me blankly, as if she didn't recognize her. Her eyes made me feel terrible, as if there was a monster I didn't know hidden inside.

"Xiaoxuan, I'm Wang Lei, you don't know me anymore?"

Xiaoxuan's head turned slowly and mechanically. I was really worried that she would turn 180 degrees. Fortunately, my worry was unnecessary. Her head turned around again, and then turned around again, looking around over again.

"Where am I?"

The familiar voice made me believe that this is Xiaoxuan, she is still alive, and asking this question usually means that people have begun to wake up.

"This is Ten Willow Bay." When I said this, I suddenly remembered that I was staying in a dark night in a terrifying and gloomy place where corpses were dumped, and some cold spots popped out of my back.

"Ten Willow Bay?" Xiaoxuan frowned, and a hint of doubt appeared on her expressionless face.

I hurriedly said again: "You were tied into the water, I just rescued you."

Xiaoxuan frowned even higher, as if she didn't believe what I said, but I was very happy in my heart, because this is Xiaoxuan.

"Brother, you didn't lie to me?" Xiaoxuan began to question.

"How could it be? Am I that kind of person? I didn't know how dangerous it was just now. If I came a step later, you might just, just..."

"What happened?"

"That's right, I was eaten by monsters."

Seeing that Xiaoxuan was fine, my mood became brighter. Although this is a place where even ghosts don't want to stay, my heart is full of warmth. I hope that I can just hold her in Shiliuwan for the rest of my life.

"Well, you hurt me."

Xiaoxuan made a coquettish low voice, like cotton was gently scratching my ear, it was indescribably comfortable and comfortable, I couldn't help but tightened up a little bit, until I felt a needle-like pain in my thigh, and then I let go .
