Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]
Chapter 40 The Ripper Part 7
It was as if a bunch of crows flew over Duan Yi's head, and then dropped a lot of feathers.
The feathers fell one by one, while Duan Yi petrified inch by inch.
After a long time, seeing Gu Liang blink twice, Duan Yi said: "Yes, I don't blame me for this. I can explain..."
Unexpectedly, just after finishing this sentence, Duan Yi saw that the shock on Gu Liang's face quickly transformed into another meaning - "It really is".
Duan Yi felt that he could probably understand what Gu Liang was thinking.
He must have made some kind of deductive reasoning in his mind - no wonder he hasn't found a girlfriend for so many years, it turns out...
Duan Yi let go of tomorrow's hand, and said to Gu Liang seriously: "Listen to me—"
In the next moment, Duan Yi felt tomorrow's cold fingers slipping past his waist.
Looking down, Mingming pinched the bath towel around his waist and lifted it up, with a very calm and harmless expression. "It's going to fall."
Duan Yi: "..."
Duan Yi was speechless for a while, tapped his head with his index finger, then quickly rushed to the closet to get a new set of underwear, and then immediately ran into the bathroom to change and come out.
"Let's not talk about anything else, let's cross over quickly!"
However, no one paid attention to him for the time being.
Duan Yi frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
——At this moment, tomorrow and Gu Liang are sitting on two sofas, looking at each other silently.
Gu Liang put his hands on the armrest of the sofa, and he could see that the line of the arm under the shirt was a little tight.
His gaze towards tomorrow is full of scrutiny, consideration, scrutiny, and a little shock, as serious as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
Tomorrow sat very straight, with his hands folded on his knees, and his eyes were somewhat oppressive, threatening and unquestionable.
Why are they suddenly at war?
Duan Yi stepped forward, squeezed onto the coffee table between the two of them, and patted the glass table. "Go out."
Gu Liang looked away, gave Duan Yi a meaningful look, and stood up. "Let's go. The proprietress Lisa went out very early today. I made breakfast. Go eat something first."
"Damn it, I refuse to braise the tap water." Duan Yi said immediately.
"Some are good. Don't be picky."
After saying that, Gu Liang took another look at tomorrow, then turned and left.
But the strange thing is that just after Duan Yi finished saying "braised tap water", he found that the oppression and hostility in tomorrow's eyes had all disappeared.
"No, you..." Duan Yi frowned and asked.
"It's all right."
Standing up tomorrow, his expression has turned into a spring breeze, "Let's go. Go and eat something, and then we will cross."
"I really don't want to eat the breakfast made by my brother." Duan Yi said deeply.
Looking at him tomorrow, I persuaded him: "What my brother did, I still have to give face."
Duan Yi: "...?"
Tomorrow: "If you can't eat, I'll help you eat."
Duan Yi: "???"
·
The time is 8:20 in the morning.
Duan Yihe traveled from November 11th to October 16nd tomorrow.
Wu Junlan in their group has already entered the prison, so the two of them only brought No. 8 Cha Congfei today.
Judging from what I learned from the police station and Gu Liang who had already been here for the day, the hanging will be held in the square in front of the police station this morning, and Nicole, who is suspected of being the real murderer, will be executed.
And this afternoon, in the cemetery behind the row of old houses, a funeral will be held.
The funeral was for Mary, the first victim of the serial murder, and Anne, the second victim.
The purpose of choosing this afternoon for the funeral is to tell them that the real culprit has been executed and their souls can rest in peace.
But at this funeral, Xi Fei will be shot.
Gu Liang suspects that Ajia is the murderer, and tells Duan Yi to stay away from Ajia.
With the experience of dealing with Xi Fei yesterday, Duan Yi didn't rush to investigate after crossing, but first went to a clothing store at the corner of the row of old houses with Mingming and Zha Congfei.
Mingming and Duan Yi generously spent the money from the proprietress Lisa, and both changed into men's suits from the 19th century, and both had beards glued on. They looked like two British gentlemen.As for Cha Congfei, he pretended to be their servant.
After the camouflage was completed, the time went to 8:50.
Nicole's hanging will be at 9:[-].
In this way, there is enough time, Duan Yi discussed with tomorrow, and then went to the White Church.
As yesterday, the church is closed.
Duan Yi stepped forward to check, the doors and windows were tightly closed and could not be opened from the outside.
And in a place like this where Christianity is everywhere, Duan Yi would not break in through a window under everyone's noses, and might cause death attacks from angry people.
Fortunately, although he didn't think of a way to enter the church for the time being, Duan Yi turned around and found that someone came to clean the open space in front of the church. It is estimated that this person has a lot to do with the church, and maybe he can learn something from him.
Walking towards that person, Duan Yi made friends with him. "I have a problem, and I want to go to the church and talk to the pastor. Why is this church closed recently?"
To Duan Yi's surprise, the man showed a bit of panic.
He crossed himself and said, "God bless. The pastor left early yesterday. He said he felt something bad and had to get help. He said no one would be allowed in until he came back." church."
"Something bad? What does this mean?" Duan Yi was a little surprised.
The man looked around, with a pale face, and said in a low voice: "The power of Satan, monsters, evil spirits... are all bad things. They are very evil... Otherwise, the old pastor wouldn't even I can't even deal with it, so I have to send reinforcements!"
What did Duan Yixin mean? They won't be dealing with evil spirits this time, will they?
Could it be that apart from traveling through elements, this dungeon also involves supernatural beings?
Duan Yi didn't have time to think about it, and there was already a noise not far away.
——That is, a large number of people came from all directions, they gathered in the open space between the police station and the fountain, and formed a circle under the command of the police.
The wooden gallows had been laid out.
One policeman asked everyone to be quiet, and the other two policemen walked over with a woman.
The woman was very thin, with long chestnut hair that looked like wheat waves in the sunlight.
She is Nicole.
The gallows is volleyed, with a plank in the middle and a rope hanging from the top beam.
Police placed Nicole on a plank and tied her neck to a rope.There was a large built-in circular block on the plank at her feet.During the execution, the police took the round wooden block away, and the plank became hollow. Nicole, who was tied with a rope around her neck, would fall from the hollow circle and be strangled to death by the rope.
This is the whole process of hanging.
At this moment, the preparatory work has been done, only the final step of removing the round wooden block is left.
The police did not execute the sentence immediately because they were reading the crimes committed by Nicole to the public next to them, so that everyone could learn from it.
While listening to the police's admonition from afar, Duan Yi looked towards Nicole.
He was now standing on the steps in front of the church, on a higher ground, and the gallows was right in front of him.
So, across a fountain, he could see Nicole's hazy and beautiful figure.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Nicole looked up, Duan Yi saw her eyes.
At that moment, Duan Yi's blood was a little cold.
Seeing such eyes, he seemed to have truly understood the meaning of the word femme fatale for the first time—Nicole was very beautiful, but her eyes were cold and full of resentment, really like a poisonous snake.
At 9:[-], the execution began.
The circular wooden board under Nicole's feet was pulled away, and she fell down, and finally hung in the air because of a thick rope around her neck.Like a fish on a chopping board, her body wobbled instinctively, and after a few minutes she was motionless.
After 10 minutes, someone dismantled her body and put it in the open space, and the people began to throw eggs, rotten vegetables, etc. on her body.By the time the angry crowd dispersed after venting their anger, it was almost noon.
During this period, Duan Yi mixed into the crowd, and then found a policeman to talk to. "What about Nicole's body?"
"She is a murderer, how many people hate her? Her husband has no plans to collect her body." The policeman pointed to the row of old houses, "There is a cemetery behind that, and there is a woods ahead of the cemetery. Throw her into the woods casually." Here, feed the dog."
At noon, the police did not deal with her body directly, but found a few homeless men to carry Nicole's body to the woods.During this period, Duan Yi, Ming Ming and Zha Congfei quietly followed the homeless man and reached the depths of the woods all the way.
Duan Yi wanted to see if there would be any problems in the process of disposing of the corpse.
For example, if someone really committed a crime jointly with Nicole, is it possible for this person to come and dispose of Nicole's body.
Unexpectedly, their line of work directly encountered a very disgusting plot-several homeless men actually started molesting the corpse, taking turns to fight.
The scene was too unbearable, and there were minors present, so Duan Yi quickly took off his coat and covered Zha Congfei's head.
Zha Congfei looked dull, and turned around subconsciously after being covered with a coat.
After a lot of trouble, it was finally over. The homeless man spat at Nicole and left one after another with their pants up.After a while, a few wild dogs really came out from the depths of the woods, divided and ate the corpses.
In this way, Nicole's body ended up with a few bones rotting in the woods, and no one cares about it.
There are only a few rags left on Nicole's clothes, and only a few bones left in the body, so there are probably no clues left.
The three of them left the woods silently, with serious expressions on their faces.
Just now, Zha Congfei was obviously trying to endure something, but now when he got out of the woods, he couldn't bear it anymore, squatting on the side of the road and began to vomit.Duan Yi glanced at him, thinking that when the child was in the last resort, he spent almost seven days in the psychological consultation room, and sighed silently.
Everyone's ability to bear is different. How could a well-behaved student who went to school well be drawn into this kind of dark game.
Thinking of this, Duan Yi stepped forward and patted Zha Congfei on the shoulder, chatting to comfort him.
Zha Congfei looked at him with a sad face: "I'm sorry. I have been very useless... all kinds of delays."
Duan Yi smiled and said: "I didn't see that you were slowing down. Everyone's ability to accept is different. Take your time. Getting into this kind of game is already unlucky enough, so don't have a psychological burden. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive. "
Biting his lips timidly, Zha Congfei said: "I will work hard. Even if a werewolf kills me, I really can't play it. Clearing the dungeon or something, I will grow up!"
"Just do your best. Some things we have to work hard on ourselves, but there are other things that we have to rely on God's will. For example, God knows why we are here."
After comforting Zha Congfei, Duan Yi found that he seemed to be silent tomorrow.
Turning around to look for it, Duan Yi found him standing in the shadow of a tree not far away from the road.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something to say again?" Duan Yi said.
Tomorrow slightly frowned and said: "It's nothing. It's just that I don't believe in God's will."
"How did you say that?" Duan Yi asked.
"I don't believe it, and you don't believe it either." Ming Ming said.
Duan Yi was speechless, and walked towards him tomorrow. "What if God wants you to die? Do you still think it's ok to do your best and obey the fate?"
Duan Yi raised his toes and kicked the stones on the side of the road. "Look at what you said. In fact, everyone will die. When there is life, there is death. This is God's will. It's nothing more than the length of time between life and death. When I am alive, of course I will try my best to live well But if the time limit is up, can I still reverse life and death?"
After a long while, tomorrow said lightly: "You are not afraid of death, and you have no obsession with life and death, because you are not afraid of losing."
Hearing this, Duan Yi stopped kicking stones around and stood up straight, looking at tomorrow at a distance that is not too far away.
The clouds and fog that morning seemed to appear in tomorrow's eyes again, so Duan Yi couldn't figure it out.
Duan Yi frowned subconsciously: "Do you disagree with me?"
Shaking his head tomorrow: "I don't disagree. In fact——"
After a brief pause, he said tomorrow: "Brother Xiaoyi, you are the bravest and most resolute person I have ever met. You are always focused on nothing, and you are not afraid of anything. I hope you can keep going like this. You have to go forward bravely and don't let anyone Constrained by personnel, I will go on like this firmly until the end.”
"Finally..." Duan Yi savored these two words thoughtfully, "Where can I go in the end?"
When I walked up to him tomorrow, I said softly but loudly: "Go back alive. Live a normal life."
·
Leaving the woods, the three of them found a place to eat.
Zha Congfei couldn't eat, so after Duan Yi's persuasion, he reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls.
In the afternoon, they went to the clothing store again and made a new disguise. In the end, the three of them each wore a gentleman's hat.
Zha Congfei still followed the two, and felt that the two people walking in front looked good in this outfit, just like retro British models.
Mary and Anne's funeral will be at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Before that, the three of them went to the church again, and after finding that the door was still closed, they started the wandering mode.The area where they hang out is mainly the old houses in the red light district.
It was also during this period that they met the old woman they met yesterday.
She looked solemn and haggard, wearing a black dress with a small chrysanthemum pinned to her chest.
There were some flowers planted in the old woman's yard, and she picked some and put them in a basket at the moment, and she was walking towards the cemetery behind the woods with some staggering steps.It looks like she's getting these flowers for a funeral.
When Duan Yi passed in front of the old woman, he didn't attract her attention.Duan Yi guessed it was because he had a beard and hat on.
In this way, they wandered around for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Duan Yi gave Ming Ming a wink, and the two followed the crowd with Cha Congfei silently, all the way to the funeral site.
The funeral was very simple, and not many people came. It was just some girls in the Red East who were on good terms with Mary and Anne.
During the period, the police also came.They transported the two bodies from the freezer, and then the workers they invited put them into the cemetery.
The police's move was also routine. They said in front of the tombstones of the two that the murderer had been executed and that they could rest in peace, and then left in a hurry.
Not even the priest came to the funeral.I don't know if it's because there is only one priest in this area.
The only priest was temporarily away from the place, unable to preside over the funeral, so it was the old woman, the landlady of the two deceased, who acted as presider at this funeral.
She put the flowers she had gathered in front of the tombstones of the two, read the life of the dead Mary and Anne to the people, and said some words of wishing them to rest in peace.The old man speaks slowly and wants to say a lot, so this link seems a bit long.
Silently hiding behind the crowd, Duan Yi heard the girls talking.
"The police didn't explain the matter clearly. Pauline was also killed yesterday. Is Nicole really the murderer? If the wrong person is caught, how will Mary and Anne rest in peace? How can we rest assured?"
"I agree with you. I think the police didn't interrupt Nicole's hanging because they were afraid of causing panic. Besides, her husband didn't fight for her. Last time I heard a police officer say that the pressure on them to manage the slums is very high. Big. What’s the matter, you think we’re in a mess here and don’t dare to take care of it?”
"If they catch the wrong person, they really put our safety at risk..."
"Oh, by the way, why didn't Aga and Rui come here? Don't they have a good relationship with Mary and Anne?"
"Who knows? Their good sisters all fell in love with the male painter. Who knows what the real relationship is like?"
"Okay. Don't talk about it, Xi Fei is also here. Xi Fei and them are also good friends. Are you afraid that she will hear it and pass it on to Aga and the others? They didn't come because Rui was sick, Ah Jia is taking care of her."
While listening to the girls' discussion, Duan Yi found Xi Fei in the crowd.
At the moment the girls are gradually forming a long line.
The tombstones of Mary and Anne were built side by side, and it was about time for the girls to go to the tombstone one by one to lay flowers and give speeches. Xi Fei was right in the middle of the queue waiting to present flowers.
After Duan Yi saw her location, he first said to Zha Congfei: "Go back to the row of old houses first and find Ajia's residence. Don't go close there, and don't be discovered by her. You hide in the dark and see if she Leave, or come back.”
Cha Congfei didn't ask any more questions, and ran away immediately.
Sensing tomorrow's gaze, Duan Yi explained to him: "Yesterday my brother suspected that the murderer who killed Xi Fei at the funeral was Ajia. Just now I heard the girls say that Ajia and Ruiyi did not come to the funeral. I think, Maybe Ajia really did it in the dark. Do you still have an umbrella, lend me one."
Tomorrow: "I'll go with you."
Duan Yi said: "This place is full of trees, and there are no other buildings. If Ajia wants to attack Xi Fei, he should only be able to hide in a nearby tree. The two of us are easy to scare the snake."
Hearing this, tomorrow he took out an umbrella and handed it to Duan Yi. "A pistol is not a sniper rifle. Its range is not that far. She may be nearby. Be careful."
"I know." Duan Yi asked tomorrow, "Do you still have an umbrella?"
"Yes." Tomorrow, he took out an umbrella from his bag and showed it to Duan Yi.
Duan Yi felt relieved. "Okay. Be careful. Don't force her. If you can't, run away. The purpose of our trip is not to prevent Ajia from killing people, or to catch Ajia. We just want to confirm whether the murderer is her."
"Well. I understand. You should also be careful." Ming Ming said.
Duan Yi raised his hand and raised his index finger, made a silent gesture, and turned around.
He was dressed in black, with leather covers on his fingers, and he acted like an elegant and elegant gentleman.
In this way, after taking a deep look at Duan Yi, he turned around and went to another direction deep in the woods tomorrow, in order to look for Ajia.
Unexpectedly, before he could walk a few steps tomorrow, he suddenly heard Duan Yi's sharp voice not far away: "Stop!"
At the same time, three dense gunshots sounded.
Turning around tomorrow, he immediately ran towards Duan Yi's position.
·
On the other side, after saying goodbye to tomorrow, Duan Yi quickly found the place where Ajia was hiding.
He did not act blindly, but made some reasoning in advance.
When he was at the police station before, Duan Yi saw the photos of Xi Fei's death scene.She is the bullet in the head.
There are so many girls standing in front of the tombstone, they sometimes gather and talk in twos and threes, and they are still moving at any time.
It is not easy for the gunman to attack Xi Fei accurately, unless she catches Xi Fei acting alone and has no extra moves for the time being.
When Xi Fei put down flowers in front of the tombstone and said a few words of congratulations, it was undoubtedly the best time for the murderer to strike.
Therefore, the gunman is hiding with his back to the tombstone, facing the direction where Xi Fei will come later, which is most likely.
Duan Yi guessed right, he quietly approached the grove behind the tombstone, and within a few steps, he looked over his head and saw a black shadow.She was dressed in black, her body was slender and soft, her hair and face were wrapped in black, she was undoubtedly a woman.
As soon as her blue pair matched Duan Yi, she immediately jumped down from the tree, turned around and ran away.
She didn't shoot Xi Fei immediately, but chose to run away first.This point surprised Duan Yi a little.
"Stop!" Duan Yi yelled, and immediately caught up.
The gunman turned around and quickly shot him three times.
Duan Yi quickly hid behind the tree sideways, and all three bullets hit the tree trunk one after another.
He poked his head out and found that the gunman took the opportunity to run away. Duan Yi stepped up and was about to chase, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed. "Brother Yi, it's me."
"Go. Chase." Duan Yi turned his head at him, and the two quickly chased after the gunman.
The girls attending the funeral in front of the cemetery were obviously frightened. They screamed and ran towards the row of old houses.After all, it is their home.
It's just that the gunman's speed, as well as the speed of Duan Yi and tomorrow who were chasing her, were obviously faster, and they ran back to the red light district first.
At an extremely fast speed, the gunman flew into an old building.
Duan Yihe quickly approached the building tomorrow, and was about to chase in. Behind them, Cha Congfei ran out. "I've been stalking here! That's where Agga and Rey live!"
Hearing this, Duan Yi secretly said, "It's not good."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly came from a room on the third floor.
On the street not far away, the girl's scream and the exclamation of "Call the police! Let's go to the police" sounded again.
Immediately afterwards, girls in twos and threes came back to the building. Before Duan Yi and his party could say anything, a girl with blond hair and blue eyes ran out of the building wearing a skirt.
There was still sweat on her forehead, obviously she had done strenuous exercise just now.As for her pair of blue eyes, Duan Yi recognized at a glance - she was the gunman who tried to kill Xi Fei just now.
At this time, someone called her: "Aga, are you okay?"
Agather raised his hand tremblingly, aimed at Duan Yi, tomorrow and Zha Congfei, with tears streaming from his eyes, and screamed: "Catch them! They are murderers! They, they killed Rui!"
The feathers fell one by one, while Duan Yi petrified inch by inch.
After a long time, seeing Gu Liang blink twice, Duan Yi said: "Yes, I don't blame me for this. I can explain..."
Unexpectedly, just after finishing this sentence, Duan Yi saw that the shock on Gu Liang's face quickly transformed into another meaning - "It really is".
Duan Yi felt that he could probably understand what Gu Liang was thinking.
He must have made some kind of deductive reasoning in his mind - no wonder he hasn't found a girlfriend for so many years, it turns out...
Duan Yi let go of tomorrow's hand, and said to Gu Liang seriously: "Listen to me—"
In the next moment, Duan Yi felt tomorrow's cold fingers slipping past his waist.
Looking down, Mingming pinched the bath towel around his waist and lifted it up, with a very calm and harmless expression. "It's going to fall."
Duan Yi: "..."
Duan Yi was speechless for a while, tapped his head with his index finger, then quickly rushed to the closet to get a new set of underwear, and then immediately ran into the bathroom to change and come out.
"Let's not talk about anything else, let's cross over quickly!"
However, no one paid attention to him for the time being.
Duan Yi frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
——At this moment, tomorrow and Gu Liang are sitting on two sofas, looking at each other silently.
Gu Liang put his hands on the armrest of the sofa, and he could see that the line of the arm under the shirt was a little tight.
His gaze towards tomorrow is full of scrutiny, consideration, scrutiny, and a little shock, as serious as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
Tomorrow sat very straight, with his hands folded on his knees, and his eyes were somewhat oppressive, threatening and unquestionable.
Why are they suddenly at war?
Duan Yi stepped forward, squeezed onto the coffee table between the two of them, and patted the glass table. "Go out."
Gu Liang looked away, gave Duan Yi a meaningful look, and stood up. "Let's go. The proprietress Lisa went out very early today. I made breakfast. Go eat something first."
"Damn it, I refuse to braise the tap water." Duan Yi said immediately.
"Some are good. Don't be picky."
After saying that, Gu Liang took another look at tomorrow, then turned and left.
But the strange thing is that just after Duan Yi finished saying "braised tap water", he found that the oppression and hostility in tomorrow's eyes had all disappeared.
"No, you..." Duan Yi frowned and asked.
"It's all right."
Standing up tomorrow, his expression has turned into a spring breeze, "Let's go. Go and eat something, and then we will cross."
"I really don't want to eat the breakfast made by my brother." Duan Yi said deeply.
Looking at him tomorrow, I persuaded him: "What my brother did, I still have to give face."
Duan Yi: "...?"
Tomorrow: "If you can't eat, I'll help you eat."
Duan Yi: "???"

The time is 8:20 in the morning.
Duan Yihe traveled from November 11th to October 16nd tomorrow.
Wu Junlan in their group has already entered the prison, so the two of them only brought No. 8 Cha Congfei today.
Judging from what I learned from the police station and Gu Liang who had already been here for the day, the hanging will be held in the square in front of the police station this morning, and Nicole, who is suspected of being the real murderer, will be executed.

"Something bad? What does this mean?" Duan Yi was a little surprised.
The man looked around, with a pale face, and said in a low voice: "The power of Satan, monsters, evil spirits... are all bad things. They are very evil... Otherwise, the old pastor wouldn't even I can't even deal with it, so I have to send reinforcements!"
What did Duan Yixin mean? They won't be dealing with evil spirits this time, will they?
Could it be that apart from traveling through elements, this dungeon also involves supernatural beings?

Just now, Zha Congfei was obviously trying to endure something, but now when he got out of the woods, he couldn't bear it anymore, squatting on the side of the road and began to vomit.Duan Yi glanced at him, thinking that when the child was in the last resort, he spent almost seven days in the psychological consultation room, and sighed silently.
Everyone's ability to bear is different. How could a well-behaved student who went to school well be drawn into this kind of dark game.
Thinking of this, Duan Yi stepped forward and patted Zha Congfei on the shoulder, chatting to comfort him.
Zha Congfei looked at him with a sad face: "I'm sorry. I have been very useless... all kinds of delays."
Duan Yi smiled and said: "I didn't see that you were slowing down. Everyone's ability to accept is different. Take your time. Getting into this kind of game is already unlucky enough, so don't have a psychological burden. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive. "
Biting his lips timidly, Zha Congfei said: "I will work hard. Even if a werewolf kills me, I really can't play it. Clearing the dungeon or something, I will grow up!"
"Just do your best. Some things we have to work hard on ourselves, but there are other things that we have to rely on God's will. For example, God knows why we are here."
After comforting Zha Congfei, Duan Yi found that he seemed to be silent tomorrow.
Turning around to look for it, Duan Yi found him standing in the shadow of a tree not far away from the road.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something to say again?" Duan Yi said.
Tomorrow slightly frowned and said: "It's nothing. It's just that I don't believe in God's will."
"How did you say that?" Duan Yi asked.
"I don't believe it, and you don't believe it either." Ming Ming said.
Duan Yi was speechless, and walked towards him tomorrow. "What if God wants you to die? Do you still think it's ok to do your best and obey the fate?"
Duan Yi raised his toes and kicked the stones on the side of the road. "Look at what you said. In fact, everyone will die. When there is life, there is death. This is God's will. It's nothing more than the length of time between life and death. When I am alive, of course I will try my best to live well But if the time limit is up, can I still reverse life and death?"
After a long while, tomorrow said lightly: "You are not afraid of death, and you have no obsession with life and death, because you are not afraid of losing."
Hearing this, Duan Yi stopped kicking stones around and stood up straight, looking at tomorrow at a distance that is not too far away.
The clouds and fog that morning seemed to appear in tomorrow's eyes again, so Duan Yi couldn't figure it out.
Duan Yi frowned subconsciously: "Do you disagree with me?"
Shaking his head tomorrow: "I don't disagree. In fact——"
After a brief pause, he said tomorrow: "Brother Xiaoyi, you are the bravest and most resolute person I have ever met. You are always focused on nothing, and you are not afraid of anything. I hope you can keep going like this. You have to go forward bravely and don't let anyone Constrained by personnel, I will go on like this firmly until the end.”
"Finally..." Duan Yi savored these two words thoughtfully, "Where can I go in the end?"
When I walked up to him tomorrow, I said softly but loudly: "Go back alive. Live a normal life."
·
Leaving the woods, the three of them found a place to eat.
Zha Congfei couldn't eat, so after Duan Yi's persuasion, he reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls.
In the afternoon, they went to the clothing store again and made a new disguise. In the end, the three of them each wore a gentleman's hat.
Zha Congfei still followed the two, and felt that the two people walking in front looked good in this outfit, just like retro British models.
Mary and Anne's funeral will be at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Before that, the three of them went to the church again, and after finding that the door was still closed, they started the wandering mode.The area where they hang out is mainly the old houses in the red light district.
It was also during this period that they met the old woman they met yesterday.
She looked solemn and haggard, wearing a black dress with a small chrysanthemum pinned to her chest.
There were some flowers planted in the old woman's yard, and she picked some and put them in a basket at the moment, and she was walking towards the cemetery behind the woods with some staggering steps.It looks like she's getting these flowers for a funeral.
When Duan Yi passed in front of the old woman, he didn't attract her attention.Duan Yi guessed it was because he had a beard and hat on.
In this way, they wandered around for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Duan Yi gave Ming Ming a wink, and the two followed the crowd with Cha Congfei silently, all the way to the funeral site.
The funeral was very simple, and not many people came. It was just some girls in the Red East who were on good terms with Mary and Anne.
During the period, the police also came.They transported the two bodies from the freezer, and then the workers they invited put them into the cemetery.
The police's move was also routine. They said in front of the tombstones of the two that the murderer had been executed and that they could rest in peace, and then left in a hurry.
Not even the priest came to the funeral.I don't know if it's because there is only one priest in this area.
The only priest was temporarily away from the place, unable to preside over the funeral, so it was the old woman, the landlady of the two deceased, who acted as presider at this funeral.
She put the flowers she had gathered in front of the tombstones of the two, read the life of the dead Mary and Anne to the people, and said some words of wishing them to rest in peace.The old man speaks slowly and wants to say a lot, so this link seems a bit long.
Silently hiding behind the crowd, Duan Yi heard the girls talking.
"The police didn't explain the matter clearly. Pauline was also killed yesterday. Is Nicole really the murderer? If the wrong person is caught, how will Mary and Anne rest in peace? How can we rest assured?"
"I agree with you. I think the police didn't interrupt Nicole's hanging because they were afraid of causing panic. Besides, her husband didn't fight for her. Last time I heard a police officer say that the pressure on them to manage the slums is very high. Big. What’s the matter, you think we’re in a mess here and don’t dare to take care of it?”
"If they catch the wrong person, they really put our safety at risk..."
"Oh, by the way, why didn't Aga and Rui come here? Don't they have a good relationship with Mary and Anne?"
"Who knows? Their good sisters all fell in love with the male painter. Who knows what the real relationship is like?"
"Okay. Don't talk about it, Xi Fei is also here. Xi Fei and them are also good friends. Are you afraid that she will hear it and pass it on to Aga and the others? They didn't come because Rui was sick, Ah Jia is taking care of her."
While listening to the girls' discussion, Duan Yi found Xi Fei in the crowd.
At the moment the girls are gradually forming a long line.
The tombstones of Mary and Anne were built side by side, and it was about time for the girls to go to the tombstone one by one to lay flowers and give speeches. Xi Fei was right in the middle of the queue waiting to present flowers.
After Duan Yi saw her location, he first said to Zha Congfei: "Go back to the row of old houses first and find Ajia's residence. Don't go close there, and don't be discovered by her. You hide in the dark and see if she Leave, or come back.”
Cha Congfei didn't ask any more questions, and ran away immediately.
Sensing tomorrow's gaze, Duan Yi explained to him: "Yesterday my brother suspected that the murderer who killed Xi Fei at the funeral was Ajia. Just now I heard the girls say that Ajia and Ruiyi did not come to the funeral. I think, Maybe Ajia really did it in the dark. Do you still have an umbrella, lend me one."
Tomorrow: "I'll go with you."
Duan Yi said: "This place is full of trees, and there are no other buildings. If Ajia wants to attack Xi Fei, he should only be able to hide in a nearby tree. The two of us are easy to scare the snake."
Hearing this, tomorrow he took out an umbrella and handed it to Duan Yi. "A pistol is not a sniper rifle. Its range is not that far. She may be nearby. Be careful."
"I know." Duan Yi asked tomorrow, "Do you still have an umbrella?"
"Yes." Tomorrow, he took out an umbrella from his bag and showed it to Duan Yi.
Duan Yi felt relieved. "Okay. Be careful. Don't force her. If you can't, run away. The purpose of our trip is not to prevent Ajia from killing people, or to catch Ajia. We just want to confirm whether the murderer is her."
"Well. I understand. You should also be careful." Ming Ming said.
Duan Yi raised his hand and raised his index finger, made a silent gesture, and turned around.
He was dressed in black, with leather covers on his fingers, and he acted like an elegant and elegant gentleman.
In this way, after taking a deep look at Duan Yi, he turned around and went to another direction deep in the woods tomorrow, in order to look for Ajia.
Unexpectedly, before he could walk a few steps tomorrow, he suddenly heard Duan Yi's sharp voice not far away: "Stop!"
At the same time, three dense gunshots sounded.
Turning around tomorrow, he immediately ran towards Duan Yi's position.
·
On the other side, after saying goodbye to tomorrow, Duan Yi quickly found the place where Ajia was hiding.
He did not act blindly, but made some reasoning in advance.
When he was at the police station before, Duan Yi saw the photos of Xi Fei's death scene.She is the bullet in the head.
There are so many girls standing in front of the tombstone, they sometimes gather and talk in twos and threes, and they are still moving at any time.
It is not easy for the gunman to attack Xi Fei accurately, unless she catches Xi Fei acting alone and has no extra moves for the time being.
When Xi Fei put down flowers in front of the tombstone and said a few words of congratulations, it was undoubtedly the best time for the murderer to strike.
Therefore, the gunman is hiding with his back to the tombstone, facing the direction where Xi Fei will come later, which is most likely.
Duan Yi guessed right, he quietly approached the grove behind the tombstone, and within a few steps, he looked over his head and saw a black shadow.She was dressed in black, her body was slender and soft, her hair and face were wrapped in black, she was undoubtedly a woman.
As soon as her blue pair matched Duan Yi, she immediately jumped down from the tree, turned around and ran away.
She didn't shoot Xi Fei immediately, but chose to run away first.This point surprised Duan Yi a little.
"Stop!" Duan Yi yelled, and immediately caught up.
The gunman turned around and quickly shot him three times.
Duan Yi quickly hid behind the tree sideways, and all three bullets hit the tree trunk one after another.
He poked his head out and found that the gunman took the opportunity to run away. Duan Yi stepped up and was about to chase, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed. "Brother Yi, it's me."
"Go. Chase." Duan Yi turned his head at him, and the two quickly chased after the gunman.
The girls attending the funeral in front of the cemetery were obviously frightened. They screamed and ran towards the row of old houses.After all, it is their home.
It's just that the gunman's speed, as well as the speed of Duan Yi and tomorrow who were chasing her, were obviously faster, and they ran back to the red light district first.
At an extremely fast speed, the gunman flew into an old building.
Duan Yihe quickly approached the building tomorrow, and was about to chase in. Behind them, Cha Congfei ran out. "I've been stalking here! That's where Agga and Rey live!"
Hearing this, Duan Yi secretly said, "It's not good."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly came from a room on the third floor.
On the street not far away, the girl's scream and the exclamation of "Call the police! Let's go to the police" sounded again.
Immediately afterwards, girls in twos and threes came back to the building. Before Duan Yi and his party could say anything, a girl with blond hair and blue eyes ran out of the building wearing a skirt.
There was still sweat on her forehead, obviously she had done strenuous exercise just now.As for her pair of blue eyes, Duan Yi recognized at a glance - she was the gunman who tried to kill Xi Fei just now.
At this time, someone called her: "Aga, are you okay?"
Agather raised his hand tremblingly, aimed at Duan Yi, tomorrow and Zha Congfei, with tears streaming from his eyes, and screamed: "Catch them! They are murderers! They, they killed Rui!"
