"Hey, buddy, did you find anything? Did you bump into that person? Did you guys start a fight?" Xu Haocun's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Wait a moment." Meng Qingxiao unlocked the screen, opened WeChat, took a photo of the scene in front of him, and sent it to Xu Haocun, "I sent you a photo, please open WeChat and take a look."
"What are you doing?" Xu Haocun opened WeChat in confusion and couldn't help but screamed, "Holy crap!"
The room was not big, with a total of one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Meng Qingxiao looked around and found nothing else, so he exited the room and carefully avoided all obstacles. He was afraid of damaging the scene and did not dare to touch anything. , looking back again, Meng Qingxiao closed the security door, put the key back into the courier bag, and then left. He secretly swore that he would never eat yellow sauce again.
"I'm here, listening... Don't worry, I didn't meet that person. He was gone when I came here... Well, I'm going to the control room now... Don't worry, I will be careful, Brother, all those years of Taekwondo training are not in vain. Even if I meet that person, I will not be afraid. Oh, by the way, I just asked his neighbor that Mr. Chen and his wife may have gone to Langxi’s old house. After watching the surveillance, I also Get ready to go take a look... No, just stay at my sister's house and don't go anywhere. Your mission is to help me keep an eye on that person. As long as there are cameras, I will see him."
Xu Haocun exclaimed: "Ah, that person, he left more than half an hour ago. Judging from the direction, he should be heading to Langxi."
"What the hell, what do you do for food? If I don't remind you, are you going to stop telling me? He's already dead, brother!" Meng Qingxiao yelled at the phone and hung up after yelling. He didn't have to go to the fire control room to check the monitoring. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether he checked or not.
Meng Qingxiao quickly returned to the car, opened the navigation, and chose the nearest route, crossing Yingbin Road, taking Zhongzhou Avenue, and then onto the Airport Expressway. After exiting the Airport Expressway, it was Langxi.
However, although this is a shortcut, it is also the most congested road. He does not understand the situation, and in fact, haste makes waste. The front was fine, although it was also blocked, but he managed to get through after violating traffic rules countless times. However, he still did not escape after all. When he was about to get on the highway, he was completely blocked by the vehicle in front of him. He couldn't move even half a cent whether he was alive or dead.
There is a river under the Airport Expressway, named Qili River. Meng Qingxiao discovered through the map that he could reach Langxi by walking along the river. He gritted his teeth, forced a turn, knocked several cars away, and then rushed straight away without looking back. When he got off the road, there was a loud bang. The front of the car hit the ground first, and then the rear. His move frightened the drivers who were preparing to cause trouble for him.
Meng Qingxiao restarted the vehicle and started speeding along the embankment of Qili River, raising a lot of dust along the way and jumping like a frog before disappearing in front of the drivers behind him who had been yelling at him just now.
"Damn, that guy is really crazy. How can he drive like this? I'm afraid the car will be scrapped before we even get there."
"He must be in an emergency, otherwise he wouldn't be so desperate."
"Oh, what a troubled time it has been."
Meng Qingxiao couldn't hear those people's discussions. He only had one belief in his heart: he must find him and stop him before he kills again. Five hours later, we finally drove to Langxi, which was only five or six minutes away from the village where the Chen family's old home was.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Meng Qingxiao turned onto the highway, the car ran out of battery and could no longer start.
"Hey!" Meng Qingxiao slapped the steering wheel angrily and had to abandon the car and walk. As a result, the journey that originally only took five or six minutes suddenly turned into more than 20 minutes. Complaining was useless, Meng Qingxiao gathered his mood and continued to set off. He was a good long-distance runner, and his running was not too slow.
After running hard all the way, they finally arrived at the village. It was already completely dark by this time, and there were no street lights in many places. They could only use the moonlight of the first quarter moon to see the road. Meng Qingxiao looked at his watch and found that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Soon even the moonlight will no longer be visible.
Only then did he have time to take a look at WeChat. There were messages from Xu Haocun on it. He had sent many messages, telling him that the mysterious man had lost track of him and was not taking the same road as him. However, Xu Haocun concluded that given the speed of Meng Qingxiao's car, Calculating, he must have surpassed that guy. Finally, he reminded Meng Qingxiao: "Be careful and don't be tough with him. He has been trained, and you are definitely not his opponent. If you encounter danger, first Call me when the time is right and I’ll drive to pick you up.”
After reading it, Meng Qingxiao felt happy in his heart. He had been driving like crazy all the way, but he finally got back a win. He sent back a message: "It's such a long way, and the day lilies will be cold when you come here."
Xu Haocun quickly replied with a very long voice message: "Oh, you guys are too reckless. You know it's such a long way and you still go there alone. You don't worry at all. If something happens to you... ."
"Damn it, how did you become my mother, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, okay, that's it, I'll come back to you if anything happens."
Just as Meng Qingxiao put down the phone, Xu Haocun called again: "Well, I'm not worried, and I want to warn you a few more words... Hey, if you dare to hang up on me, I'll break off our relationship with you!"
Meng Qingxiao took a deep breath, "Then tell me."
"Brother, you can't beat him. I'm serious. Don't be impulsive. If you really want to fight, let's do a sneak attack. You can shoot black bricks or sap him. Don't confront him head-on."
"Well, I understand."
"Promise me you will never confront him!"
"Okay, I agree, okay?"
"Then I'll hang up. You must be careful."
Meng Qingxiao shook his head helplessly and began to observe the village. This is a very old village. Many of the houses are dilapidated and have obviously not been inhabited for a long time. However, there are still street lights on the main road and there are many shops on both sides of the road, although they are all closed. However, there are still fresh traces of use on many shop doors, indicating that the village is not abandoned and is still inhabited.
It was already early in the morning, and the moon was completely invisible. Only a few houses still had their lights on. The weak light shining from the windows highlighted the darkness of the night.
Meng Qingxiao finally found the Chen family's old house. When he reached the door, he hesitated again, hesitating whether to knock on the door. If Chen Bo and his sister were inside, it would be fine. If not, it would be very depressing.
At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps. In this quiet night, although the footsteps were very light, they were so clear in his ears.
Meng Qingxiao felt nervous in his heart. He remembered Xu Haocun's repeated warnings. He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he really had to face it, he realized that it was not as easy as he thought before.
The Chen family's old house is a two-story building with a courtyard wall. To the east of the courtyard wall is a neighbor's house and to the west is an alley. The gate faces a relatively wide street, which is just wider than the main street outside. The road is still quite narrow, barely allowing two cars to pass by.
The footsteps came from the street to the west. They were walking towards him. Meng Qingxiao glanced around and hid under the neighbor's door. There were two iron doors with a recessed door. , it should have been specially opened for vehicles to enter. He stood against the tiles, and the wall could easily block his figure.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. He crouched down and took a peek. With the help of the faint light in the distance, he finally managed to see the figure. It was a bald head, short and stout. Judging from the figure, he should be quite big. At least he had 50 years old.
Not that person!
Meng Qingxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and leaned against the wall, leaning his entire weight on it. In this moment, his palms were all sweaty.
At this moment, a fierce dog barking suddenly came from the house diagonally opposite the Chen family's old house. The person who was walking over seemed to be startled, and muttered and cursed: "What are you barking at?" If you know how to scream, sooner or later I will stew you and eat your meat." He cursed a few times, but turned right, walked into the west alley, and slowly left south.
Meng Qingxiao gritted his teeth and decided to knock on the door. Even if his sister was not here, it would be good to remind the two old people. After all, there was a murderous villain behind him. He stood up and just stuck his head out, when he suddenly saw another person at the intersection. He appeared at an unknown time and was facing him sideways. He stood there like a ghost, motionless, seeming to be observing the surrounding houses, horrified. He immediately retracted his head. For a moment, he felt cold all over his body, but sweat could not stop seeping out from the pores of his body, soaking through his shirt in an instant, and his limbs began to tremble involuntarily.
It's that person. He's here. What should I do?
