Bamboo Horse Office

Yu An woke up naturally after falling asleep.

The bed is warm, and the people around me are safe and reliable. After waking up comfortably, most of the fear of being attacked yesterday has disappeared.

"Jiang Nian..." Yu An hummed and called him.

"Well, do you want to get up for dinner?"

Jiang Nian woke up earlier than him, so he didn't dare to move because he was afraid of waking him up.Seeing him awake now, I started to worry about his stomach first, after all he didn't eat much yesterday and slept for so long, he might have a stomachache.

But Yu An is much more solid than he imagined. Not only is there no stomach problem, but even the injuries on his body don't hurt so much. After a good night's sleep, he is very energetic, and he even thinks about molesting the people around him.

At first, Jiang Nian let him make trouble, but after making trouble, he realized that accidents would easily happen if the trouble continued, so he had no choice but to hold down his restless hands.

Jiang Nian: "I'll pick you up again."

Yu An pressed in a low voice, "It's not like you haven't picked it up before."

Jiang Nian: "..."

Now he really wanted to put Yu An under his body and clean him up, but all the conditions did not allow it, and his temples were so worried.

Jiang Nian thought of a way. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the calendar. After selecting today's date, he added a note: Get up early, my little brother owes a pair of underwear.

He didn't hide anything, and let Yu An watch the whole process openly.

"What are you doing?!" Yu An always felt that nothing good happened, so he reached out to grab the phone but was dodged by Jiang Nian.

"Remember clearly, in the future, little brother, you have to pay me back double."

Yu An gritted his teeth angrily, and Jiang Nian made it clear that he could only lie down on the bed and receive free medicated massage services.

After everything was packed, the two of them went to the living room and found that they had just ordered lunch, and they were all light dishes, which were especially good for healing.

Yu An's heart felt warm like a little sun stuffed in, and he hurriedly dragged Jiang Nian over to feast on it.

After eating, everyone stayed in the living room in a tacit understanding. After all, there were still things that had not been resolved.

Song Qingyu went to the waiter early in the morning and asked for a large piece of white paper. Jiang Nian picked up a pen and wrote down the things in chronological order.

Arrive at the hotel

Song Yan met Tian Cheng, who claimed to be being followed

Tian Cheng died (cause of death doubtful, suspected tetanus)

Yu An found that the peaked cap sneaked into Tian Cheng's room

Yu An was held hostage

Jiang Nian rescued people and chased the peaked cap

Yu An went out to ask for help, and saw Song Qingyu and Wei Ming

Wei Ming catch up

Cap escape (woods behind the hotel)

Han Shuyue found that the two were abnormal

Infer that Tian Cheng may be poisoned by strychnine

After clarifying the matter again, everyone raised several questions.

[-]. Why did the peaked cap kill Tian Cheng

[-]. Is the peaked cap the person who followed Tian Cheng before?

[-]. Why did the peaked cap choose to do it here?

[-]. Why did the peaked cap go back and forth, cut off Tian Cheng's head and took it away

[-]. After being discovered by Yu An, why didn't the peaked cap kill anyone?

"We have no way of knowing the first two questions." Chen Dong hugged his thermos and said quietly, "One of the parties involved is Tian Cheng, and the other is a peaked cap. Both of them are absent now, which means that there is no clue at all."

"However..." Song Qingyu tried to express her thoughts, "The methods are so cruel, most likely they are seeking revenge."

"It doesn't make sense to seek revenge." Wei Ming added: "If it's purely seeking revenge, with his skill, whether it's poisoning or direct attack, I believe that Tian Cheng is not his opponent, and he can do it long ago. There is no need to wait until now .”

"I agree with Wei Ming's point of view." Jiang Nian said: "This involves the third question, why did he choose this place to do it?"

He took out the promotional brochure issued by the hotel before, "Look, this island is far from the inland, and there is only one round-trip boat every day. It is very difficult to escape after killing people, and the number of people on the island is limited, so it is easy to check. If you have a chance to make a move, there is no need to trap yourself in this difficult situation."

"But judging from his various reactions in the video, he should have accomplices to support him. If this is the case, then the advantage of choosing this island is that he can leave quickly and escape first by speedboat or other means of transportation. It's easier to find an island or some hidden hiding place than inland."

At this point, Yu An couldn't understand, "You mean a group of people, maybe even an organization, wanted to hunt down Tian Cheng? Isn't he just a photographer? How could it be possible?"

Song Yan also agreed with his statement, "I also think it's impossible."

"Yes." Jiang Nian continued: "That's why I agree with Wei Ming's opinion. I don't think this is a vendetta. The probability of Tian Cheng involving so many people with his own ability is really too low."

"Then if it's not a vendetta, why do you want to behead someone so cruelly after killing someone?" As soon as he mentioned this, Yu An recalled the bloody scene again, with lingering fear in his heart.

Jiang Nian leaned against him, holding his hand to comfort him.

"Or some kind of symbolic meaning, but... if that's the case, there's no need to wait a day before going back to cut it. Just take it away after killing the person, and save a lot of trouble by running less."

Everyone agreed with Song Qingyu's point of view. After all, if he hadn't gone and returned, he wouldn't have bumped into Yu An, and he wouldn't have been discovered.

"If it's not a symbolic meaning, then Tian Cheng's head itself is very valuable, so he has to take the risk of being exposed and make another trip." This is the only explanation Wei Ming can come up with.

Song Qingyu was puzzled, "But this is back to the question just now, he just took it away, there is really no need to go again."

"No, it is necessary."

The heavy curtains were still drawn in the living room, blocking the raging wind and lightning from everyone's sight.

Jiang Nian stared at the direction of the window and reminded: "From Tian Cheng's death to the exposure of the peaked cap, an accident happened in the middle, which is the current storm."

This storm seems to have reached a huge barrier, blocking outsiders, trapping people on the island, and fixing everyone in their original positions, unable to move.

"Then if this storm hadn't happened..." Yu An tried to guess, "The hotel didn't find out, so he and his companions could take the body away at night. Even if the hotel found out, in order to protect the scene, they wouldn't let too many people Get close, even if he is finally captured by the camera, by the time the police arrive, he has already fled and disappeared into the sea."

"I agree with you. At first they wanted to transport the corpse, but it may be difficult for him to escape because of the storm, let alone bring a corpse, so the next best thing is to chop off the head and take it away."

After roughly figuring out the murderer's intentions, the next step was the most important question for them, so everyone's eyes were on Yu An.

Everyone has watched the video recorded by Yu An. Even when a murderer is discovered, he can still deal with the matter at hand calmly and clearly. This strong psychological quality is frightening.

Wei Ming said he had received professional training and there was nothing wrong with it.

Yu An: "Actually, when I first noticed him, I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that this person was suspicious. I went to follow and have a look. If it's really a murderer, it would be nice to see a positive face. And I'm far away from him. It’s so far away, even if I’m found, I’ll have time to escape or call someone.”

But he didn't expect this person to be so strong, not only went around behind him, but also subdued him with one move, without even a chance to call for help.

"Speaking of which, I have a question." Chen Dong said, "The peaked cap said you were lucky, and said he couldn't kill you yet. What does that mean?"

Yu An: "I'm also wondering, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't need to keep me."

In terms of strength, the peaked cap is enough to crush him [-] times, so there is no need to worry about trouble.In terms of safety, he cleverly avoided the surveillance cameras taking pictures of his face. No one except Yu An had seen his face before realizing he was the murderer. Killing Yu An was the safest thing to do. Cheng Xianxian, to him, killing one more person is not a big deal, there is no need to keep one alive.

"Yes, and he also said that he looks forward to seeing you next time, you two...Brother Yu, have you offended someone?"

"How is it possible?!" Yu An is also having a headache now, "Why don't I know when I offended someone, I..."

He suddenly remembered that there really seemed to be one.

but……

Yu An felt that with that person's behavior style, it was impossible to send a killer. He probably sent someone to take him away forcibly after finding him and humiliate him.

"Brother Yu?"

Song Qingyu saw that he was silent in the middle of what he said, and wanted to ask what was wrong, but seeing Jiang Nian's calm face, it was probably inconvenient to talk about something, so she didn't ask any more.

"That person said that he can't be killed." Jiang Nian pondered the sentence again, "It might take a few seconds to do it, and his companions won't stop him, but he can't, it must be someone who can't refuse The reason. Or in other words, the little brother can't die, he has to live well."

Everyone thinks this conjecture is terrible. There are only a few reasons for wanting a person to die, but there are too many reasons for wanting a person to live.

Moreover, when the other party is clearly an enemy, he wants you to live well first, and the reason behind it is hard to think about.

"I think we're overcomplicating things." Chen Dong drank his saliva and said, "That man is a psychopath, a pervert. Let's think about it from the perspective of a normal person. Well, people like him like excitement, so it's not surprising to let Yu An go. Besides, there is Tian Cheng, Yu An and he didn't know each other before, and there is a high probability that they will provoke a group of people at the same time. How low, I don't need to say."

"I don't think so." Song Yan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "I hacked into the hotel's surveillance system last night and saw something interesting. It's just here, let's take a look first."
