At noon that day, Deng Youde gave me one of the two masks, then took out some makeup tools and forcibly transformed the two young men into old men with wrinkles on their faces.
Then they cooperate with each other by hunching over, making them look like two living old guys.
When we went out, the little nurse outside the room looked at the two of us in shock.
"Who are you?" The little nurse stared at me and Deng Youde with wide eyes.
Deng Youde proudly made a shushing gesture to the little nurse and said: "Xiaowen, you are here today. If any patient comes to see me, just say that I went to town to get medicine."
"Ah, is that you, Doctor Deng?"
The little nurse stared at Deng Youde in disbelief for a while, and finally nodded in realization.
"Remember, you can get off work early today." Deng Youde said a few words to the nurse, then pulled me out of the room.
According to Deng Youde and I's plan, the two of us dressed up as two old men in their fifties and sixties, and then pushed a small cart out of the village to the town.
Before leaving the village, I made a special trip to the butcher's house.
The butcher was not at home at this time, but Tian Sanniang opened the door for me.
When Tian Sanniang saw my old-fashioned attire, she said with surprise on her face: "Who are you looking for?"
"It's me..." I blinked at Tian Sanniang.
Tian Sanniang was puzzled for a while, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was about to get angry.
When I saw this, I quickly revealed my identity, which prevented me from being kicked out by Tian Sanniang as an old gangster.
"How did you become like this?" Tian Sanniang stared at me for a while, with a look of shock in her beautiful eyes.
"It was Dr. Deng who helped me. Don't tell others. By the way, the senior butcher is not here. Can you lend me his butcher's knife?" I said.
Tian Sanniang hesitated for a moment, but quickly turned around.
After a while, Tian Sanniang already grabbed two sharp butcher knives in her hands. It seemed that this woman not only turned her arms outward, but also took out all her father's property.
"Two are just right, one for each person."
Deng Youde behind him saw the butcher's knife, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly came over and took it with ease.
"We have taken both of them. Senior Butcher won't scold you, right?" I said to Tian Sanniang.
Tian Sanniang raised her eyebrows and said, "He dares!"
Well, at this point, I could only touch my nose, thank Tian Sanniang, and hurriedly left the village.
With the occurrence of new murders, it can be said that people in Liucun are now in panic, and no one dares to run out.
So when we two guys, who were dressed like old men in their 50s and 60s, went out, several villagers from Liucun immediately stopped us.
After talking it over with Deng Youde, I got rid of the enthusiastic villagers, and then walked towards the town on the mountain path where the murder had occurred...
This mountain road was very difficult to walk, and after a while, Deng Youde was already complaining endlessly.
"Am I so idle that my balls ache? Why do I come out here to cause trouble when I have nothing to do?" Deng Youde touched his still bruised face and said to me full of sorrow.
I glanced at him, thinking that you paid 100,000 yuan for a mask. If I don’t pull you out to be cannon fodder, I won’t be able to afford that money...
"Stop talking, I will protect you if anything happens." I patted my chest and assured Deng Youde.
Deng Youde glanced at me with a look of disbelief...
We were silent along the way. Deng Youde and I walked slowly. However, after walking for a long time, we saw that the town was almost arriving, but not even a hair appeared.
I gritted my teeth and simply rested for a while with Deng Youde in the town. Then I took off the pigskin mask and made up again to look like someone else.
We continued walking from the town to Liucun. It looked like it was getting dark, but Deng Youde and I drove the bullock cart and walked slowly. I thought to myself that it was already getting dark and the murderer should be out.
.
But along the way, except for the occasional howling of some animals, Deng Youde and I returned to Liucun unscathed.
"Damn, I've been rushing back and forth, and I can't even see a hair!" Deng Youde said angrily to me. It was rare that he was interested in luring the murderer out with me. As a result, after a day of busy work, he was surprised to see the murderer.
No ghosts were seen.
I glanced at him and couldn't help but frown.
I made an agreement with the butcher and the others before that I must find the murderer within two days.
But today, Deng Youde and I drove back and forth twice, but the murderer had no intention of taking action against us.
It was already midnight now, so I had to let Deng Youde rest well, and then continue to transform into other people and leave the village early tomorrow morning.
"Going out again?" Deng Youde said somewhat unhappily.
I nodded and lured the tiger out of the mountain. This was the only way for me at the moment.
And now I am almost pressed for the next day. If I still can't lure out the murderer tomorrow, then I will really hand myself over to the villagers and let them deal with it.
After all, this is what I promised, and if I don’t complete it myself, it can only be my own problem...
Seeing that Deng Youde didn't want to go, I didn't force him.
I told him to just let him put on the makeup for a pigskin mask and I would go out alone tomorrow morning.
Deng Youde stared at me, a little speechless...
Early the next morning, almost before dawn, I was already ready to set off!
Today is the deadline. If I can't lure out the murderer, even the butcher won't be able to help me anymore.
I walked to Deng Youde's small clinic, but before the door opened, a lazy voice came from beside me.
I looked up and saw that Deng Youde was here.
"Here you go!" Deng Youde threw me a pigskin mask that had already been made up and said.
I took a look and saw that Deng Youde's makeup skills were not bad. He made a simple pigskin mask look like an honest peasant.
I put the mask on my face and said thank you to Deng Youde.
But soon, I saw Deng Youde also took out a pigskin mask and changed his expression. His appearance changed drastically.
My mind moved, and I already thought that this guy must have changed his mind.
Sure enough, Deng Youde hit me in the chest and said lazily: "I said it first, if I can't lure out the murderer this time, I won't do it."
"Don't worry, if you can't draw it out again, even if you want to, you won't have the chance..." I said with a bitter smile.
Today is the deadline, but I have no idea whether I can lead the murderer to come.
"Let's go." I greeted Deng Youde, and the two of us left Liucun again.
It was early in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the world outside Liu Village seemed a bit dark and quiet.
"Murderer, where are you hiding?" I was thinking secretly in my heart, but on the surface, I had the same calm expression as Deng Youde.
...When I was a child, the mountain road was rugged, but there was nothing strange about it.
...Two hours later, the sun had completely gone up the mountain, and the sunlight was shining all over the ground. It had been slowly spreading on Deng Youde and I, and there were even a lot of dewdrops on our bodies.
But along the way, I still didn't see any trace.
After arriving in the town, I rested for a while, then asked Deng Youde to give me another face, and then rushed to Liucun with the last glimmer of hope.
"Do you think that guy knew that we deliberately lured him out?" Deng Youde couldn't help but ask on the way.
I shook my head. Not many people knew about my makeup, but they were all people I could absolutely trust, so I firmly believed that the murderer still didn't know about my plan.
"Otherwise, why hasn't that guy shown up after rushing so many times?" Deng Youde continued to ask.
I ignored him, but the guy got even more excited and kept chattering along the way.
"I think that guy must know our plan, otherwise he wouldn't show up until now!"
"I think you should ask the villagers for a few more days. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there is no chance of luring that guy out today..."
Deng Youde kept chattering, and just when he was about to continue talking, I suddenly stopped and raised my eyebrows.
Deng Youde was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask me, my eyes had already locked on a figure not far ahead!
"It's her..."
My heart suddenly felt cold, and I saw that figure blocking the path of Deng Youde and me.
I looked at that familiar delicate little face, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart.
She also said she was not a murderer, this Korean woman!!
I bit my lip and stared at Han Yun in front of me...
