blind circle

The cold rain drew a thin line along the muzzle of the gun, and Hua Chen's eyes revealed a trace of sadness, but all of this was within his expectations.

Fei Er, Li Shengfeng, the leader in black, among the three of them, there must be one who will fight tonight, but in comparison, he would rather die in the hands of Fei Er.

Hua Chen smiled wryly, and with a sudden force on his right hand, the black umbrella in his hand was blown up by the strong wind, and quickly flew into the sea under the cliff.

"Shoot, Phil, I don't have any complaints about dying by your hands." Although Hua Chen's voice was soft, his tone was firm, "But I still want to advise you, get your hands out of the Bryan Consortium as soon as possible." Take it back, greed leads to ruin."

Hua Chen raised his chin, "Even if I die, there are thousands of others who will come to Wall Street to fight against the Five Peaks Alliance. Phil, it's still too late to turn around now!"

Phil laughed, and the muzzle of the gun pressed into Hua Chen's forehead a little more, "From the day I graduated from school, there is no turning back. I don't, and neither do you."

Fer's gaze was fixed on Hua Chen's, "Could it be that fewer people died at your hands than me?"

Hua Chen's eyes froze somewhere, his brows were tightly frowned, and two deep ravines formed between his brows.

"Hua Chen, you must die today," Fer's voice became cold, "I know who those people are today, you and I can only have one of us walk out of this castle, who People... can only be me!"

Feier pulled the trigger, and Hua Chen's head turned sideways in a blink of an eye, and the bullet grazed his earlobe.

In the next second, Hua Chen grabbed Feier's right wrist, and Feier let out a pain, and Hua Chen slapped his pistol to the ground.

Feier's left hand quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into Hua Chen's waist. Hua Chen let out a pain and his eyes widened. He didn't expect that Feier would stay behind!

A strong smell of blood passed through his throat and flowed to his mouth, Hua Chen's eyes were bloodshot in the darkness.

Fair sneered, and kicked Hua Chen off the cliff!

"Hua Chen, you are no longer who you were then, and I am no longer who you were then!"

In the banquet hall, Lisa raised her hand to glance at the sapphire quartz watch in her hand, and beckoned to the butler, "Why haven't Shu Xin and Zhan come down yet?"

The old butler shrugged, "I'll go and invite the two of you down."

Just as the round was over, Lisa picked up the carved teacup in her hand and took a sip of Earl Gray tea, "No need, please take all the distinguished guests to see their rooms tonight, and I'll go upstairs to have a look."

The butler made a gesture of invitation, and Ji Liang got up as if nothing had happened, smoothed the folds under the suit, and followed behind everyone, but his eyes moved left and right, "Why is Shu Xin still upstairs? What is he doing? "

The sound of people chatting and leather shoes stepping on the marble slabs slowly walked from the hall on the first floor to the second floor. Ji Liang was not distracted by the pleasantries from Mira beside him, but his eyes kept looking into the depths of the second floor.

Rounding the corner, Shu Xin suddenly appeared on the stairs on the second floor, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Wow——" Li Shengfeng's eyes lit up, and he looked up and down Shu Xin with admiration, "This dress is tailor-made for you!"

Shu Xin smiled, went up to meet Ji Liang, and took Ji Liang's hand.

"Why so long?" Ji Liang put his lips close to Shu Xin's ear, his flickering eyes were filled with worry, "Did he do anything to you?"

Shu Xin tapped the back of Ji Liang's hand twice with his index finger, blinked, and his clear smile remained unchanged.

After closing the bedroom door, his smile instantly turned into panic. Shu Xin lifted the suit behind him, and hurriedly took out the book and the code he had deciphered part of.

"This is the message that Zhan Zhanying sent me with the password!" Shu Xin gestured quickly.

Ji Liang took a closer look, and saw that the A4 white paper was densely packed with scrawled handwriting, obviously written in a panic, and there was a corresponding Chinese character under every few numbers.

"There is a spare yacht in the wooden house by the beach, the key is in the hand of the dumb servant, no matter what happens, you must leave tonight! You want to—"

The message came to an abrupt end, and a long line was drawn from the last half of the word "think". Presumably, Shu Xin put away his things in a panic after hearing the sound of them going upstairs.

"What else did he say?" Ji Liang looked at the half-deciphered code in his hand, his face was so heavy that it was about to drip water.

Shu Xin shook his head, his eyes were very anxious, "What should we do now?"

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We have to find a way to pass the news to Hua Chen first." Ji Liang clamped the password paper into the book and quickly put it into Shu Xin's briefcase. "Hua Chen and Fair haven't come back yet, I'm afraid What's going to happen."

Shu Xin nodded eagerly, picked up his briefcase and quickly followed behind Ji Liang.

When they were going down the stairs, they passed by Zhan Yinglian's bedroom, and they happened to see Lisa coming out.

Lisa asked, "Shu, are you in a hurry to get out?"

Ji Liang adjusted his state in an instant, and smiled leisurely, "Shu Xin has never seen such a gorgeous manor, I will take him around."

The two clasped their fingers tightly and were about to turn around when Lisa stopped them behind, "Wait a minute!"

Shu Xin's heart suddenly tightened in his chest, and he held his breath for an instant.

Lisa turned around and took out an umbrella from behind the bedroom door, "It's raining outside, be careful."

Ji Liang grinned and nodded his thanks. The moment he turned his head, he saw the back of Zhan Yinglian crouching on the desk through the gap in the door. Zhan Yinglian bowed his waist and buried his head very low, as if he was looking at something. thing.

Lisa whispered from the side: "My fiancé's mental state is not very good. He has some headaches. I'll go down and make him a pot of tea so that he can take medicine."

At this time, Zhan Yinglian's voice came from the house, the voice was very small and hoarse, "Lisa, bring me my medicine."

"Wait a minute, dear!" Lisa shrugged, closed the door with a smile, and went down the first floor with Ji Liang and the others.

Outside the castle, Ji Liang held an umbrella and walked forward against the wind. After the figures of the two entered the shadows from the light, they quickened their pace.

Outside the house, apart from the howling wind and the sound of heavy rain hitting the ground, there was no sound at all, and there was no one in sight when looking around.

"Do you think Zhan Yinglian's behavior just now is a bit strange?" Ji Liang lowered his head and asked Shu Xin.

"A little bit," Shu Xin replied, "Zhan Yinglian didn't move when he spoke just now. Logically speaking, he should have heard our conversation with Lisa. Under normal reaction, he should turn his head back, and his voice is also a bit strange. .”

"Forget it, let's not worry about that much," Shu Xin gestured, "Did Phil go back?"

Ji Liang pursed his lips and shook his head, at this moment he dared not call out Hua Chen's name to avoid being seen by others.

The manor is huge, so searching endlessly like this is a waste of time. Shu Xin took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen, waving it in mid-air, hoping that Hua Chen would find it by facing the light.

But while turning on the phone, Shu Xin found that there was no signal at all!I don't know if this isolated island has no signal coverage, or someone deliberately tampered with it.

Shu Xin's glasses have night vision function, and his field of vision is much clearer than Ji Liang's. It seems that there is a figure moving in the darkness in a trance, and the person is in the dark, as if he has found himself!

"There's someone!" Shu Xin gestured quickly, wondering if he should go forward and chase after him.

"Don't move!" Ji Liang reminded in a low voice, grabbed Shu Xin's arm, "Pretend not to see, and keep walking."

Ji Liang stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Shu Xin, took him into his arms, and then made a "hand/gun" gesture with his fingers.

Shu Xin's heart is blessed, and it is really not appropriate to rush to go under unknown circumstances. Ji Liang is worried that the other party has a gun in his hand.

Seeing that the two were walking farther and farther in other directions, the black shadow tiptoed towards the direction of the castle and disappeared into the darkness.

"Do you see who it is?" Ji Liang whispered in Shu Xin's ear when he saw that the surroundings had returned to silence again.

Shu Xin shook his head, "I can't see the face clearly, but judging from his body shape, he doesn't look like a man."

Ji Liang lowered his eyes and pondered, if it was a woman, it could only be one of Lisa and Mira, but Lisa was still in the living room just now, and she was still wearing high heels on her feet, so it is impossible to have such fast feet.

Could it be Mira?

What is she doing here so late?

Why do you deliberately avoid us?

With doubts, Ji Liang and Shu Xin came to the edge of the cliff, but there was no one else on the edge of the cliff except the trees swaying with the strong wind. The trees with teeth and claws twisted wantonly, like monsters ready to swallow life .

"There's blood on the ground!" Shu Xin quickly squatted down, touched the rock with his index and middle fingers, and quickly made a judgment, "It should have happened not long ago."

Ji Liang turned on the phone, and the blood mixed with the mud turned black and was scattered by the heavy rain.

The light of the mobile phone followed the bloodstains all the way, and stopped on a rock. On the sharp-edged rock, there was a piece of gray trousers hanging.

"It belongs to Feier." Ji Liang said in a deep voice.I saw that the bloodstains on the rock became a little thicker, forming a crooked line, stretching all the way to the edge of the cliff.

"Fair was pushed down!" Ji Liang took a deep breath, turned on the flashlight function on his phone, and took a photo down the cliff.

"Look!" Shu Xin gestured in amazement, and pointed to the big tree on the other side of the cliff with one hand, "It's Hua Chen's umbrella!"

I saw Hua Chen's long black umbrella hooked on the tree branch.

"Hua Chen was killed!"

"What should we do now?" Shu Xin looked at Ji Liang in a panic, waiting for Ji Liang to make up his mind.

"Go back to Shunzi first and tell him what happened." Ji Liang took Shu Xin's hand and ran quickly into the castle.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the castle, there was a "snap," which seemed to be the sound of a teacup being broken, followed by a frightening scream from the second floor.

Shu Xin and Ji Liang looked at each other, and ran towards the second floor one after the other.

Lisa covered her chest with her hands, her fingers were trembling, her pupils were constricted, she stared at the desk in the bedroom, "Zhan... Zhan was murdered!"

In front of the desk, a dagger stabbed horizontally into Zhan Yinglian's bowed back, the blade glowed with a gloomy cold light, and the blood bloomed into a monster flower on the white shirt.

Also coming out of the sound were Mira who was sleepy in bright red silk, Li Shengfeng who was holding a book in his right hand, the old butler who was wearing a new bed sheet on his arm, Shunzi who was wearing slippers, and Shunzi who was walking from the first floor with a teapot in his hand. The dumb servant who ran upstairs with Ji Liang and the others.
