Chapter 76 What did you do at night? Please give me your monthly vote?
The next day, Toru Amuro woke up very early.
The bedding was a bit hard and I wasn't used to it.
More importantly, yesterday's strange incident still had an impact on him.
——He dreamed of a giant rat hiding in the car and chewing his tires. In the dream, Toru Amuro was surprised and captured this weird mutant rat and sent it to the national research institute. Unexpectedly, the institute found a substance in the rat's body.
A new type of zombie virus... Then Toru Amuro spent the whole night fighting zombies in his dream, and finally woke up suddenly when he was surrounded by a massive amount of zombies.
…
At this time, it was just dawn.
Although it was already the monks' wake-up time, it was still very early for the guests.
Toru Amuro tried to fall asleep, but failed - as soon as he closed his eyes, the bloody mouths of mutated rats and mutated zombies swayed back and forth in front of his eyes, making him completely sleepless.
In the end, Toru Amuro had no choice but to sit up again with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
He glanced enviously at Jiang Xia, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and stood up, planning to see if the car he ordered had arrived.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the dining room, I suddenly heard a vague scream.
…
Amuro Toru was startled and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
On the way, he met two other young monks.
The three of them arrived at the door of the solitary room.
I saw the elder brother's legs and feet were weak and he fell down by the door.
Seeing other people running closer, the senior brother trembled and pointed upward: "I, I saw the door of the solitary room was open, so I came in and took a look, and the result..."
Toru Amuro walked in the door, looked up, and his eyes were focused.
——Above the confinement room, on the roof nearly ten meters high, the old abbot was suspended from the beams.
His unblinking head hung weakly, facing the door, swaying gently in the wind, like a piece of dried bacon.
…
five minutes later.
Toru Amuro finished calling the police and waited for the police to arrive.
He was originally worried that the monks in the temple would stop him from calling the police or secretly cut off the phone line.
However, neither situation happened.
This made Toru Amuro feel a little more relieved - since he could successfully contact the outside world, it meant that this time it was not a serial murder case.
——It may be that the old monk committed suicide, or it may be just an ordinary murder.
And if it's the latter...
Amuro thought, that meant: among the four seemingly honest and honest young monks in the temple, there was a murderer hidden.
…
Therefore, before asking about the situation, Toru Amuro went to the guest room first, intending to wake Jiang Xia up. In case he had worked so hard to find out the truth, the murderer turned around and took his teammates as hostages...
It's not that Amuro Tohru overthinks it - he has experienced this kind of thing too many times, whether he is partnering with the police or with members of the organization.
The only difference is that he tried his best to save his police colleagues, but his organization accomplices...
"..." Well, this is probably one of the reasons why few people in the organization are willing to partner with him.
"Jiang Xia." Toru Amuro pushed open the door of the guest room, "Wake up, someone is dead."
After shouting, he planned to go back to reason.
However, after taking two steps, he didn't hear Jiang Xia getting up.
"...?"
Toru Amuro returned to the door of the guest room.
Jiang Xia was motionless under the quilt and showed no intention of getting up.
Toru Amuro was startled.
Although it is still early, it is already dawn. When people are sleeping very lightly, if they hear someone calling their name, coupled with keywords such as "dead person"... would they sleep so deeply?
What's more, Jiang Xia is not an ordinary person. His alertness should be much higher than that of normal people.
After a moment of silence, Toru Amuro suddenly had a bad suspicion.
Could it be that it's not "sleeping like dead", but really dead...
How could someone kill someone next to him in the middle of the night without alerting him!?
Toru Amuro thought of the tire that was inexplicably broken yesterday, and his heart sank.
He ran to the bedding in a few steps, shouted "Jiang Xia!" and pushed the person aside.
I originally thought I would see a section of stubble on Jiang Xia's neck that was exactly the same as the tire...but I didn't.
After touching it again, I found that the person was warm and had a pulse.
"..." Amuro Toru's eyes twitched twice, and a faint blue vein appeared on his forehead. He grabbed the person and shook it, "Wake up."
After shaking for several seconds, Jiang Xia finally opened her eyes.
Amuro Toru looked at him, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - Jiang Xia looked so tired, could it be because he secretly did something bad last night, such as hanging the old monk...
But soon, Toru Amuro rejected this conjecture.
He was very confident in his alertness. Jiang Xia did go out last night, but he came back not long after. That time was definitely not enough for him to kill people. He has been in the room since then.
——In short, Jiang Xia had no time to commit the crime, let alone a motive.
After coming to this conclusion, Toru Amuro sighed: Why am I always so suspicious today...
He let go of his hand, stood up, and said to Jiang Xia: "Go to the hall first. There was a murder in the temple."
