I'm innocent [Comprehensive British American]
Chapter 176
Rex struggled to crawl out of the pit. He rubbed his ankles, feeling that someone was following him.
He gripped his shotgun tightly and looked around vigilantly at his surroundings.
The woods are quiet, and occasionally the wind blows through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
"Jenny! Rhodes!" Rex called the names of the two children.
Just as he swung the spider web and was about to move on, a small stone hit his back.
He picked up the stone, with a note tied to it.
There are still five hours before the night of the full moon. The werewolf is guarding his prey. Braves, please act as soon as possible. The rabbit has already entered the hole. '
Those notes with a dazed look on Rex's face, the person who just threw the stone has run away.There are many suitable hiding places in the woods, and Rex picked up the note and planned to go back to find the two agents.
It is getting dark and the forest is not safe at night.Rex always felt that those two agents would be able to find his children, after all, they were real agents.
Rex searched for a while, went down the mountain and returned to the hotel.As soon as he opened the door, he saw his wife was sitting on the sofa in the common room, covering her face and crying, with Director Les comforting her.
"You're back?" Director Les exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, your eldest daughter said you were missing."
"I told her that I would come back before nightfall." Rex scratched his head and said, "She didn't tell you that she forgot to return the phone to me when she left."
"She didn't." Rex's wife looked up and saw Rex, and immediately rushed over to hug him, held his face and looked up and down, and finally said choked up, "Oh my God, you are finally back! We all contacted If she doesn't want to go to you, she will ask Mr. Fu Qi to find you together, not long after she left..."
"How did you make yourself like this." She patted the dust and dirt on Rex's body and asked suspiciously.
"A broken pit." Rex stroked his beard and said, "I just fell into it, and I climbed for a long time."
Before the woman finished speaking, Reid hurried down the stairs.Seeing Rex's eyes light up, he hurried over and asked, "Did you receive the note?"
"What note? What are you talking about?" Rex's wife asked suspiciously.
"Yes, it was tied to a rock and hit me." Rex took out the note and handed it to Rhett.
Rhett took out the notes he had received, put them on the table, and compared the handwriting on the two notes.
The note Rex received was written in pencil, while Rhett's was written in human blood. The two notes were not written by the same person.
"With all due respect, except for the missing Jenny and Rhodes, where are your seven children now?" Rhett asked while observing the handwriting.
"Ai Lei and your companion went into the mountain together, and the remaining four, they went to the grandmother's house near the road, and left this morning." Rex's wife said, "I just called the fifth child, and he said They were playing a video game and Jenny and Rod weren't there."
"Did you mention the night of the full moon?" She asked Rex in a low voice.
Rex nodded, he pressed his wife's shoulder to comfort him, "That's just a legend."
Rhett was too far away to hear what they were saying.
He compared the note and nodded thoughtfully.The person who handled the note was not professional, and Rhett was sure that the note must be full of fingerprints.
After only looking at it for a while, Rhett could see a lot of information.He opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to express his opinion.
"Qiu, the blood on this piece of paper is very even, not cut..." He habitually turned his head to look around, wanting to see Qiu Chengke's gentle gaze on him, but only saw Rex's face of a curious baby .
Rhett was stunned for a while, he avoided Rex's gaze, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, pursed his lips and did not continue talking.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Reid stopped talking, Rex just looked down at the note, and asked nervously, "What's the matter? What does that strange pronunciation mean? That's it, Qiu."
"It's nothing." Reid took a picture of the two notes with his mobile phone, handed them to Rex, and said, "I'll go to my companion first, and then you can go to the mountains to see. My enemy is not It's not dangerous, you alone are enough to deal with it."
Rex is looking forward to acting together with the agent, but Reid said first, "When the enemy does not pose a threat, it is better for us to act separately. The night of the full moon is approaching, and Jenny and Rhodes are still waiting for you to rescue them." .”
When Rex heard that his child might be in danger, his chubby face flushed red.He kissed his wife, and left to search in the direction Rhett had assigned him.
"Hey guys, I got a note." After Rex left, the makeup artist came running down the stairs.Panting heavily, she said in a panic, "The stone broke the glass of my window, and there was a note tied to it."
Just as Rhett reached out to take the note, the makeup artist withdrew her hand. She looked Rhett up and down vigilantly and said, "Who are you?"
"He...he's a detective." Director Les said, "Private detective, just give him the note."
"Detective?" The make-up artist said with wide eyes in surprise, "Someone really did this."
As she spoke, she handed the note to Rhett.Rhett opened the note and read the words on it, "Sacred ceremony, inviolable/violable."
"What does that mean?" asked Rex's wife.
"I want to tell us that only we and Rex are allowed to go in to find Jenny and Rhodes. And it's best to find them separately," Reid said.
Rhett walked upstairs quickly and found the make-up artist's room.He observed the marks on her window and confirmed his guess.
"But just now Rex fell into the trap." Director Les paused and added, "It's a very deep pit."
Reid frowned, and he asked back, "Are you sure it's a trap?"
"It's normal." Rex's wife explained, "You may not understand that a group of Chinese lived here before, and then the economic crisis... You know, it was a chaotic time, especially for foreigners, so They made some defensive measures, and there are still some traps and some... legends. This inn was where they lived before."
"So the trap that Rex encountered existed a long time ago?" Rhett asked, "What is that legend?"
"Yes." Rex's wife pursed her lips and said, "Adults around here will tell stories to children, saying that the group of Chinese are Chinese Taoist priests. When they came here, they rang the bell and led the zombies. Later, there were One day they suddenly disappeared, and the corpses they brought disappeared. Whenever the moon is full, people who get lost in the mountains will be controlled by their bells and turned into zombies."
"How is the night of the full moon stipulated? Why did the note mention werewolves, but you mentioned zombies?" Rhett asked quickly.
Rex's wife was a little scared. She said nervously, "No one stipulates the night of the full moon, and no one believes in this legend. Because it has always been peaceful here, there are many versions of the legend. Some people say that they are Chinese. Zombies came to take refuge. Others said they were priests who came to subdue werewolves and were eaten."
Reid's eyes lit up, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to Rex's wife and said, "You don't have to worry too much, it has nothing to do with the legend, they are safe now."

Qiu Chengke followed the girl, squinted his eyes and looked at her back, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Ailey."
"Why are you not sad at all?" Qiu Chengke asked suddenly.
"What are you talking about?" Allie asked, blinking.
Qiu Chengke shook his head and did not speak.Ai Lei led Qiu Chengke under a tree, and she squatted on the ground and waved to Qiu Chengke.
"My dad said he would wait for me here." Alley said, "but after I came here, I only saw these bloodstains."
Qiu Chengke walked to her side and looked at the traces on the ground.There was a large bloodstained shoe print the size of Rex's foot.
A scratch similar to a scratch was made on the trunk, and there was a little blood at the tip of the claw, flowing down the trunk.
As soon as Qiu Chengke had time to reach out to touch the paw print, Ai Lei grabbed him and said, "I have a camera here, you can take a picture."
As Ai Lei spoke, she began to rummage through her satchel, flicking the flashlight in her hand back and forth.
Qiu Chengke couldn't see the details of the paw prints on the trunk, he groped for something on it.
Allie thrust the camera into his hand and urged him to hurry up and take a picture.
Qiu Chengke rubbed his fingers, the scratch was carved out, but it looked like an animal scratch.
He took a photo following Alley's wishes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are we going next?"
"Where we play games." Ai Lei said, when she turned her head, a poisonous spider hung down in front of her eyes.
Ai Lei shivered in fright, Qiu Chengke stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.
"You should know that some things here are poisonous." Qiu Chengke said casually, "Even if you are familiar with this place, it is easy to be bitten by them after dark."
Ai Lei didn't dare to move. She was silent for a long time and put her hand into her satchel from time to time, as if she was worried about something.
After a while, she stopped, pointed to an open space and said, "I was here at the time, walking around and waiting for them to hide."
With that said, Ai Lei walked over and said to Qiu Chengke, "This is it."
Qiu Chengke noticed that her footsteps were slowing down, as if she was a little nervous.When walking through the center of the open space again, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come here." Ai Lei waved to Qiu Chengke.
Qiu Chengke didn't think that Ai Lei could pose any threat to him, so he walked towards Ai Lei, and when he stepped on an open space, he heard the slight cracking sound of planks under his feet.
He looked up at Ai Lei, who was clenching her fists and looking at him nervously.
"Your father seems to like spies very much." Qiu Chengke estimated the length and width of the wooden boards under his feet, and said as he walked, "To be precise, I am an agent, but not an agent."
"But Dad said..." Allie said in surprise, "He told Mom that you are a very powerful agent."
"Your father confused an agent with an agent." Qiu Chengke lightly tested the ground under his feet. The person who set up this device had obviously never done such a thing.
Although the planks are fragile, they are not strong enough to fall off.Apparently everything was done in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to find a more suitable plank for the trap.
Ai Lei stared closely at the ground under Qiu Chengke's feet, and couldn't help clenching the hand hanging by her side.
Qiu Chengke sighed, looked at the surrounding woods, and asked gently, "Ai Lei, can you find your way home?"
"Of course, I grew up in the mountains." Ellie replied nervously.
Qiu Chengke didn't say anything, but exerted a little force, and the wooden board under his feet shattered, and Qiu Chengke fell down immediately.
The author has something to say: This is an easy little case.
Ah, I heard you still want candy?
He gripped his shotgun tightly and looked around vigilantly at his surroundings.
The woods are quiet, and occasionally the wind blows through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
"Jenny! Rhodes!" Rex called the names of the two children.
