Wang Mengyao and I listened roughly in the conference room. At this time, I became nervous again, "Oh no, this matter seems to be in Lao Wang's hands. Did he see something wrong with Xu Miaofeng? Why didn't he let her go?" ?”
It stands to reason that with Xu Miaofeng's experience, it is unlikely that the secret will be revealed, but Lao Wang insisted that there was something wrong with her, which suddenly added many unpredictable variables to the plan that originally seemed to be going smoothly.
"What happened? Let's go take a look?" I suggested.
So, Wang Mengyao and I came to the door of the office and saw Director Huang standing there with an annoyed look on his face. He was about to knock on the door, but retracted his hand.
"Director Huang, what happened?" Wang Mengyao asked.
Director Huang shook his head, sighed, and said, "Oh, I don't even know what to tell you about this matter. Lao Wang and I just went to interrogate that woman, and she was very cooperative and explained everything to me. , which is completely consistent with the police investigation, but Lao Wang doesn’t know what’s going on. He insists that she didn’t tell the truth and refuses to let her go. Tell me, what’s going on?”
I asked: "Captain Wang, what do you think is wrong with people?"
"That's the problem. You have to provide basis for your suspicions, but you can't provide any basis. If you just rely on speculation to lock people up here, you will have to bear responsibility." Director Huang said with resentment.
Wang Mengyao and I looked at each other and comforted: "Director Huang, Team Wang is experienced after all. He should have his reasons for doing this. Please calm down."
"Yes, Director Huang, otherwise, I will have a good discussion with Team Wang later, and it is always wrong to involve people for no reason." Wang Mengyao agreed.
At this time, Lao Wang's door suddenly opened, and he came out angrily, shouting: "You are done, if you want to quarrel, go away and quarrel! I have already said that before the matter comes to light, that woman cannot be let go!" "
After saying that, Lao Wang turned around and went back to the house. With a "boom", the door closed again.
The three of us looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Look, his temper is really..." Director Huang said helplessly, "I'm so angry!"
"Hey, forget it, I can't control him anyway, you can figure it out on your own." After saying that, Director Huang shook his head and left.
"Oh, Huang..." Wang Mengyao hesitated.
Seeing that Director Huang had walked away, Wang Mengyao looked at me and asked, "What should I do now?"
I shook my head and said, "Director Huang can't do anything. What ideas can I have? Otherwise, can you go and persuade me?"
"Come on, you should also know something about Captain Wang's temper. Even nine cows can't get him back from what he believes." Wang Mengyao was confused.
I shrugged, "Then there's nothing we can do."
I was also very nervous. When things got to this point, I didn’t know what to do. Originally, I was planning to send Xu Miaofeng away after the investigation was over, and then I could leave naturally. When everything is ready, I will come back and re-enter the tomb. But now it seems that Xu Miaofeng won't be able to leave for a while, and I have to leave. I'm really worried that she will give up after I leave, and that will be a failure.
"Although I don't think this matter is that simple, Team Wang won't let people go based on speculation. This obviously does not comply with the regulations and something is going to happen." Wang Mengyao said worriedly.
"Forget it, it's not up to you to decide. The superiors have their own opinions on how to deal with it. Just wait." I said.
Wang Mengyao nodded, "Then let's go."
We had just gone downstairs and before we reached the courtyard, black clouds unexpectedly blocked the scorching sun above our heads.
Dark clouds squeezed the sky, covering up the scarlet eyes just now. They were as heavy as if they were about to fall down, and were as oppressive as the whole world.
"The weather has changed?" I asked doubtfully.
"It's going to rain heavily." Wang Mengyao said, "The weather at sea is like this, it's cloudy and moody. From the looks of it, this rain is probably not going to be light."
"That's great, don't I have to leave in a hurry?" I smiled.
Wang Mengyao glanced at me and said with a smile: "Yes! However, how long it will take to see the bottom, sometimes a day or two, sometimes half a month, it is possible."
"It doesn't matter if it's one or two days, it's just one more day that I can spend time with you." I said happily.
"If you hate it, you just know how to say it nicely." Wang Mengyao smiled sweetly, "I'm going to collect my clothes, so I won't tell you anymore."
After saying that, she ran all the way to the dormitory.
And not long after, a strong wind swept through. I saw angry waves rolling on the sea, roaring and galloping. In an instant, the rain was so heavy that it seemed like the Milky Way in the sky was overflowing, pouring down from the sky.
The heavy rain pounded violently on the roof, hitting the glass and lashing the ground. The rain was flying and water was splashing, making the whole place confused.
This was the first time I encountered such heavy rain, and I felt inexplicably afraid. Especially when I stood upstairs, looking at the sea not far away, the boundless sea was setting off huge waves, and how small and helpless human beings seemed.
The wind roared, slamming the door open and slamming it against the wall. A low whine came from the cracks in the window, as if sobbing in the dark night.
"The storm is about to come. Is this really an ominous omen?" I couldn't help but become superstitious.
The clouds were low and it was getting very dark. Like a black curtain, covering the entire island.
It is too small, too small to escape this black curtain.
The atmosphere on the island suddenly became a little depressing.
"Click", I lit up a cigarette, this was the only one I had left. If you want to continue smoking, you have to buy it outside, but this is obviously impossible.
The wind chases the rain, and the rain chases the wind. The wind and rain join forces to chase the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole world is covered in rain.
At this time, some subtle changes began to occur in the building. The footsteps of people coming and going became more rapid, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
"Everyone should act quickly. According to the emergency plan, the laboratory on the mountain should be closed first and everyone should retreat to the base." Director Huang shouted loudly in the office.
"Has the meteorological department responded? How much rainfall will there be? Why is there no warning information at all? What do they do for food?!"
"Director Huang, the meteorological department's forecast has been changed three times within an hour, and it has now been issued a red warning!"
"Red? Damn it, we are not prepared at all. Isn't this making fun of the lives of people on the island?" Director Huang yelled, "Everyone takes action immediately and prepares to fight the flood while ensuring the safety of life. "
A small trickle of rainwater crept in quietly from above the window, squirming slowly and leaving crooked footprints on the glass.
"It seems that this amount of rainfall is very rare in Snake Island." I couldn't help but feel even more worried. The torrential rain kept falling, and the rainwater flowing down from the eaves quickly gathered into small streams on the ground.
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder, and countless holes opened in the sky. Everyone was shocked and held their breath.
The lights in the building also dimmed a bit.
"For safety's sake, turn off the power switch and use emergency power."
But just as the staff was about to pull the switch, a soaked militiaman suddenly ran into the office and exclaimed: "Come on, something happened!"
Director Huang was shocked and asked quickly: "What happened?"
"Woman, that woman committed suicide!"
"What?" Director Huang trembled when he heard this, "Oh, damn, something big is going to happen!"
"Where are the people?"
"Here, in the interrogation room!"
"Quick, take me there!"
After speaking, Director Huang hurried downstairs in three steps and two steps at a time.
The interrogation room is in a row of bungalows to the east of the small building. You can get there directly along the corridor, but at this time, they all chose to walk in a straight line in the rain.
When I heard the news of Xu Miaofeng's suicide, I was completely confused. Things had become increasingly beyond my control. So, I followed closely.
When we arrived at the interrogation room, there were many people gathered at the door. Director Huang squeezed in from the outside and asked, "What's going on?"
A man in a white coat, who must have been a doctor who came after hearing the news, said with a surprised look on his face: "Director Huang, we came to rescue the patient, but when we came, the person inside was missing!"
Director Huang's eyes widened and he quickly went in to take a look. He looked incredulous and said, "Where are the people? Where are the people!"
The militiaman was also puzzled and said: "Damn it, I locked the door when I left, how could the person disappear?"
Director Huang cursed: "Where is your key?"
Only then did the man react and touched his waist, "Oh no, the key is missing."
"It must have been stolen by that woman. She deliberately committed suicide, lured you in, took the opportunity to take your key, and ran out of the interrogation room while you were leaving," Director Huang said.
"But she is obviously unconscious!"
"It must be fake!" Director Huang regretted it greatly, "Hey, it seems that Lao Wang's suspicion is right. This woman is indeed not a common one!"
I stood in the crowd, watching this sudden scene, and my heart that had fallen to the ground was lifted again.
"Director Huang, what should we do now?"
"The person must still be on the island, she can't escape!" Director Huang said calmly, "It's raining too hard now, we can't pursue it rashly, not to mention entering the dense forest, we will be in danger. Search inside the base first, if If she’s still hiding here, deal with her immediately!”
"yes!"
For a time, the entire base became busy.
The atmosphere became more oppressive.
We tourists are required to stay in our rooms and are not allowed to go out. The militiamen began searching room by room.
With a "boom", a powerful light flashed out of the sky, illuminating the dark sky as bright as day, and a thunderclap echoed in the ears.
I was hesitating in the room, not knowing what to do.
It was raining so hard that Xu Miaofeng was seeking death by entering the dense forest, but hiding in the base, he would be discovered sooner or later. Once he was caught, the truth could not be concealed.
She was taking a desperate risk.
But what was the reason that prompted her to do this suddenly?
