For a moment, all three of them were silent. Even Liu Manman, who was holding his breath and wanted to expose Su Xi, couldn't help but couldn't bear to continue talking after hearing that the two were former lovers.
After a while, Su Xi herself smiled reluctantly: "I know what you are all thinking, and I can't admit it, but I want to say that I just want to leave this island. For that money
I no longer covet money, and anything I do is not for that money."
After that, she looked at Guo Ping'an and said, "Brother Guo, it's almost dark. Even if a submarine comes, it will be difficult for us to find it. We might as well go back."
Perhaps this is what Guo Pingan, Su Xi and Deng Jingliang, who has not been heard from now, have discussed it a long time ago, and they will go back after dark, so Guo Pingan also nodded and said: "Well, that's about it. This is really annoying
, you can’t keep an eye on it at night, wouldn’t it be very troublesome if the submarine just comes over at night?”
Cheng Yu said: "Go back and ask Old London if there are any waterproof lighting devices. Although it is easy to scare others by turning on the lights in the sea at night, at least we can see whether there are submarines transporting supplies as we suspected."
"If there is, then we need to discuss how to allocate time. Xie Yanwen and Deng Jingliang suddenly disappeared again. If they don't show up when we go back, there will only be four of us left on the island for the time being.
According to the clues that can be found so far, the only hope for outlying the island is on the submarine. We may have to divide our teams and wait here."
I don't know why Guo Ping'an is so stubborn about submarines. He seems to have given up all other possibilities now and puts all his thoughts on submarines. Cheng Yu can't bear to break his fantasy, even if there is a submarine.
Just a few of them, in the sea, may not be able to let the submarine stay for their own use.
If you want to requisition a submarine, you must either have a plan to prevent the submarine from leaving the shore, or the people in the submarine must be willing to cooperate and help them.
The latter is almost impossible, so the first thing that needs to be considered is how to prevent the submarine from leaving? Cheng Yu is not worried that the people in the submarine will not open the hatch. The result of not opening the hatch will be starvation.
In the submarine. But the problem is, no matter how small the submarine is, it is definitely not something they can survive with their own human power.
Therefore, Cheng Yu was actually not happy to see Guo Ping'an's stubbornness. He believed that even if a submarine might be a way to leave the island, there must be other ways to leave the island.
But Cheng Yu didn't want to say more, so he could only say: "Let's go back to Old London first to find out whether there are diving equipment and waterproof light sources, whether there are shifts, and how to allocate time.
We will discuss it then. Now, we still need to find out where Deng Jingliang and Xie Yanwen are. This island is so big, if you want to see people in life, you will have to see corpses in death, right?"
Su Xi walked forward in the dark and asked, "Yes, Master, you haven't finished speaking yet. What did you and Miss Manman do later? Are there any other discoveries?"
Cheng Yu sighed and said: "The best news is that he has never been found again, and the worst news is that he has never been found again. After we confirmed that Deng Jingliang was not in the room, we discussed it and we felt that no matter what
Did Xie Yanwen kill Deng Jingliang, or did Deng Jingliang kill Xie Yanwen instead, or maybe it was just us worrying and the two of them were fine. Anyway, they were not in the villa at the time, so we thought of going out to look for it. And since Old London had come back,
And he did not meet these two people on the way, so we think that the road from the villa to your place does not need to be searched for the time being. At least we should give priority to searching the road in the manor."
Guo Ping'an nodded and said angrily: "Well, what Mr. Cheng said is reasonable. If it were me, I would make the same choice."
Liu Manman said nothing. She was still worried before whether Cheng Yu would tell Deng Jingliang how to trick Old London into cleaning the manor. However, Cheng Yu didn't mention anything about Old London going out again. He probably wouldn't say anything.
.
Although both Deng Jingliang and Xie Yanwen were missing, Liu Manman still didn't want the two people in front of him to regard Deng Jingliang as someone with active murderous intentions. There was no special reason, it was just selfishness.
"Our analysis shows that if Xie Yanwen succeeded in killing Deng Jingliang, then he would most need to send the body outdoors, because once Deng Jingliang's body is found outside the villa, we will all be suspicious, and this suspicion is even greater than
Xie Yanwen. And if Xie Yanwen is killed by Deng Jingliang, the only people he can blame are me and Sister Manman. He doesn't even have to transport the body out of the villa because he doesn't know that we have already appeared at the place he just left.
, he can also arrange the scene, return to the beach and say that at least one of me and Sister Manman killed Xie Yanwen. And my suspicion will obviously be greater, after all, did Xie Yanwen say something against me yesterday."
Guo Ping'an and Su Xi said almost at the same time: "I don't think the great master (Mr. Cheng) will be the kind of person who takes revenge for personal gain. Moreover, he kills people out of anger just for a word. How angry can he be?"
Cheng Yu smiled and did not explain much, and continued: "But at the same time, we felt very strange, because if it was really Xie Yanwen who killed Deng Jingliang, then he should at least deal with the scene in the corridor, and the bowstring might still be there
It was said that it was dropped accidentally, but the traces on the corridor floor were too undisguised, and Xie Yanwen, as a professional chess player, would never be so confused. Under various suspicions, we have been looking for information from the manor.
That road was found on the pier. Of course, nothing was found. No corpses or living people were seen. Then Sister Manman and I could only follow the edge of Qindao and outflank us. After that, you all know that we
They appeared in your field of vision almost at the same time, and you should be able to see that there is no possibility of us crawling in and out of the jungle."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cheng Yu's last sentence refers to the fact that their appearance is too neat. Just because of the wrinkle-free clothes on his and Liu Manman's bodies, they are absolutely unattractive.
It was impossible to get in and out of the trees, otherwise the overgrown shrubs and vines would inevitably leave traces on their clothes.
"So, those two people disappeared?" Guo Ping'an and Su Xi said again almost in unison.
"Considering that they might have gotten into the bushes, I have no way of concluding this. After all, Sister Manman and I were just searching along the road. At best, we paid attention to the surrounding bushes. Assuming that Xie Yanwen killed someone and wanted to dump the body.
He must have been left in a position where it is easier to be discovered. But now it seems that maybe the death we imagined did not happen to them. So if they were in the woods, trying to find clues to the island, then
We have no way of knowing.”
"That's too strange..." Liu Manman couldn't help but start to worry again, and subconsciously refuted Cheng Yu's words. After finishing speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly went back to make amends: "I mean,
That Deng Jingliang was so motivated that he had to help Su Xi go back to get the medicine, but he never returned, and instead ran into the woods to look for clues about the offshore island."
Cheng Yu turned around and glanced at Liu Manman, thinking that he had made amends.
But Guo Ping'an made a confused voice and said: "Then it is possible that Deng Jingliang accidentally discovered the clues to the island. He has obtained the method to leave the island and finally successfully left the island?"
Su Xi took a long breath and said: "If that were the case, I would be very grateful to God. Mr. Deng won the championship and won a prize of 100 million US dollars, and we will surely be able to return to land soon.
There should be a ship coming to pick us up, right?"
This time, Liu Manman didn't say anything. Obviously she thought it was impossible, because she knew very well that if Deng Jingliang found a way to leave the island, he would never leave her alone.
Cheng Yu said: "If that's the case, I would be grateful to God, but how can Xie Yanwen explain it? Fortunately, we have returned to the villa. Maybe there are some new clues waiting for us in the villa, allowing us to understand the whereabouts of these two people.
There is a new understanding.”
The outline of the villa could be clearly seen in front of them, and the lights on the second floor could also be seen. However, the four people who were walking well suddenly stopped almost at the same time.
"Wait a minute, that light..." The first person to speak was Liu Manman.
"Is that Mr. Deng's room? Isn't he missing? Why are the lights in the room still on? Master, when you checked his room from the balcony before, were the lights in the room on?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and answered Su Xi's question with some confusion: "I'm pretty sure, not really. So, maybe Deng Jingliang is back."
"Quickly, go ask him what happened."
As Guo Ping'an said these words, he ran wildly, almost moving forward at full speed. He just wanted to return to the villa to find out what was going on.
Cheng Yu and Su Xi also ran away. Only Liu Manman, although she was impatient, wanted to maintain her indifferent persona, so she was the one walking slowly behind.
When they ran to the side of the villa, Cheng Yu and Su Xi heard Guo Pingan's loud voice after rushing into the villa door: "Old London, who is in the villa now?"
Asking about old London is indeed the most convenient way.
When Cheng Yu and Su Xi walked around to the front steps of the villa, they also heard the voice of old London.
"Mr. Deng is back. It seems that he is the only one in the whole house. Oh, and now Mr. Guo is back too."
"Where's Xie Yanwen? Hasn't he come back yet?"
"Old London didn't see it, just like Old London didn't see when Mr. Xie left."
Cheng Yu and Su Xi walked into the hall. When Old London saw them, the LED lights around him flashed and said, "Mr. Cheng, Ms. Su, you are back too."
"Did you see Deng Jingliang when he came back?" Cheng Yu asked, "When was that? How was he? Was he injured?"
The last two questions were asked on behalf of Liu Manman. Cheng Yu estimated that Liu Manman would have wandered down to the bottom of the steps by now.
"Mr. Deng came back around 5:30. He looked very embarrassed. His clothes were torn a lot and his face seemed to have some scratches. Moreover, he seemed to be walking unsteadily and staggering.
Just like the master looks like when he is drunk..."
After hearing Old London's answer, the three people in the room frowned. This seemed to indicate that there was an extremely fierce conflict between Deng Jingliang and Xie Yanwen. But if this was true, how could Cheng Yu and Liu Manman not notice it?
As they said, when there was a conflict between the two people, it was almost impossible for them to appear on the road leading to the seaside behind the villa, because Old London was "rolling" towards the villa at that time. And Cheng Yuhe
But Liu Manman said they found nothing.
If it was really Xie Yanwen who killed Deng Jingliang and dumped the body, it would be normal if they didn't notice it, because there was no movement. But since this kind of conflict broke out between two people, it seemed that Deng Jingliang was slightly better in the end and killed Xie Yanwen, and he
He was also seriously injured, so much so that when he came back, he was staggering and unsteady. Cheng Yu and Liu Manman didn't notice at all this kind of movement in which they were risking their lives, which was somewhat strange.
.
Liu Manman's footsteps appeared behind the three of them, and then her voice came out: "It seems to be a dog-eat-dog story. Around 5:30, I was separated from the great god not long ago. Well, we separated from the pier.
, it’s about a quarter past five to twenty past five, right?”
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Well, almost. If Deng Jingliang and Xie Yanwen were fighting on the island, we should find out more or less. Even if their voices can't reach our ears, as long as there is a fight, there will be no sound in the woods.
Those birds and beasts cannot be so quiet. Let’s go upstairs first and see what Deng Jingliang says.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right. Instead of us making random guesses here, it's better to ask the person involved directly." Guo Ping'an bypassed Old London in one step and rushed up the stairs.
When Cheng Yu and others saw this, they all followed suit. Old London said behind the four of them: "If there is nothing else, Old London is going to continue preparing dinner."
After going upstairs, Guo Ping'an rushed to the door of Deng Jingliang's room and knocked twice.
Well, to be more precise, it was slapped hard twice.
"Deng Jingliang, Mr. Deng..." Guo Pingan's voice was so loud that it echoed in the small space of the villa, causing the eardrums of the three people following behind to hurt.
"Uh...Brother Guo, you don't have to be so loud. I think Deng Jingliang can hear you." Seeing that Guo Pingan wanted to continue shouting, Cheng Yu hurried forward to stop Guo Pingan. Only then did Guo Pingan realize that he seemed to have acted too hastily.
At this moment, there was some movement in the house, and the door seemed to be unlocking, which meant that someone in the house was opening the door.
Standing inside the door and in the room was indeed Deng Jingliang.
As Old London said, Deng Jingliang had several scratches on his face, but fortunately they were not too serious and did not disfigure his appearance. He had obviously been cleaned and his clothes had been changed at this moment, but he was not as embarrassed as Old London said.
Unbearable.
"Brother Guo, uh... you are all here."
"What happened? What's the reason for the injury on your face?" Guo Ping'an didn't say a polite word and went straight to the topic.
Deng Jingliang's eyes crossed the gap between Cheng Yu and Guo Ping'an and looked at Liu Manman who was standing in the farthest place. His lips pursed unconsciously, as if he was telling Liu Manman in this imperceptible way that he was fine.
.
"The injury was caused by myself. It was probably scratched by a branch in the bushes." Deng Jingliang explained, and then said: "How about we go downstairs to talk?"
Indeed, standing in the corridor like this, with one person inside and four outside, is really not convenient for talking.
"I heard from Old London that you staggered when you came back. Is your leg injured? Is it easy to go downstairs?" Cheng Yu asked pretending to be concerned.
Deng Jingliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Thank you, God, for your concern, but I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy, but it should be okay."
Guo Ping'an held Deng Jingliang's armpit with one hand and said, "It's okay. I'll hold him a little longer. You guys go down first."
Cheng Yu, Su Xi and Liu Manman went downstairs first, and then saw Guo Pingan almost hugging Deng Jingliang down directly. Deng Jingliang also had a wry smile on his face and was speechless.
Sitting next to the fireplace, Deng Jingliang said, "Can someone please pour me a glass of whiskey?"
Cheng Yu walked to the table next to the fireplace, picked up the bottle of whiskey filled in the crystal wine container, and asked Guo Pingan and others if they wanted some. Only Liu Manman said he would like some, so Cheng Yu poured three glasses.
Brought it back.
Deng Jingliang picked up the glass of whiskey and drank it in one gulp. Then he leaned back and half-lyed on the sofa. He breathed a long sigh of relief and then said: "I really didn't expect that. I said I would help Ms. Su come back to get the medicine."
, I didn’t expect that I would almost say goodbye to all the gods and humans forever.”
"Did Xie Yanwen do this to you? Where are the others?" Guo Ping'an asked anxiously.
"I don't know where he is now..."
"He's not dead?" Su Xi was shocked.
Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's let Deng Jingliang tell the story according to the timeline. It's actually a waste of time for us to talk so much."
Su Xi and Guo Pingan nodded. Guo Pingan said, "Sorry, I'm just too anxious. Mr. Deng, please continue."
Deng Jingliang stuck out his tongue and gently licked his chapped lips. After they were fully moistened, he said: "After I came back, I chatted with Old London for a few words downstairs, and then asked me to go upstairs to get medicine. After I went up,
I got the medicine from the house. When I came out, I heard an unknown noise at the other end of the corridor. I subconsciously wanted to take a look, but as a result, I just took two steps and I felt something on my cheek.
It was like being bitten by a mosquito. It hurt slightly. I reached out and touched it and found it was a steel needle. Then I couldn't control my legs and fell down..."
