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 dawning. Although it was already the time for the monks to get up, it was still very early for them.
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 comfortably next to him, and planned to get up to see if the car he ordered had arrived.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the dining room, I suddenly heard a vague scream.
Toru Amuro was startled and ran over following the sound.
Since the scream was far away and he was not familiar with this place, Toru Amuro was not sure about the location of the sound.
On the way, he met two other young monks - one had just come out of the restaurant and the other had just come out of the kitchen. The two monks looked at each other and ran towards the solitary room with clear goals.
Toru Amuro followed behind, slightly confused. Even if the monks knew the layout of the temple very well, they wouldn't just hear a scream and immediately find the source of the sound accurately.
The detective's intuition made him frown.
Combined with what the young monks said last night about "two years ago", Toru Amuro felt that there was something wrong with this temple, and the problem was not small.
Soon, they ran to the door of the solitary room.
The senior brother's legs and feet were weak and he sat down by the door. Seeing other people running closer, he 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 into the door and looked up with a solemn look in his eyes - on the roof nearly ten meters high, the old abbot was hanging from the beam like a piece of dried bacon. His dead head was lowered weakly, facing the door.
…
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 or secretly cut the phone line.
However, neither situation happened, which made Toru Amuro feel a little more relieved - since he could successfully contact the outside world, it meant that this was not a serial murder case. It might have been the suicide of the old monk, or it might have been an ordinary murder.
If it is the latter, then there is a murderer hiding among these four seemingly honest and honest young monks.
So, before asking about the situation, Toru Amuro went to the guest room first, intending to wake Jiang Xia up to prevent him from finding out the truth through hard work, but the murderer turned around and took the pig teammates as hostages...
It’s not that Toru Amuro thought too much. He had experienced this kind of thing too many times, whether he was partnering with the police or with members of the organization.
The difference is that he tried his best to save his police colleagues, but organized his accomplices...
Well, this is probably one of the reasons why few people in the organization are willing to partner with him.
At present, Jiang Xia can only be regarded as an accomplice. However, Amuro Toru has hope for him and may become a colleague in the future, so he cannot ignore it.
“Jiang Xia.” Toru Amuro opened the door of the guest room, “Wake up, there is a murder case.”
After shouting, he planned to go back and reason. However, after taking two steps, he heard no sound.
Tohru Amuro returned to the door of the guest room and saw Jiang Xia motionless under the quilt, showing no intention of getting up.
Toru Amuro was startled.
Although it is still early, it is already dawn. When people have very little sleep, would they sleep so deeply when they hear someone calling their name, coupled with the keyword "murder"?
What's more, Jiang Xia is not an ordinary person. His alertness should be much higher than that of ordinary 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?
Tohru Amuro thought of the inexplicably broken tire yesterday, and his heart sank. He ran to the bedding in a few steps, shouted "Jiangxia!", and pushed him 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.
Toru Amuro 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 level of 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. After that, he stayed in the room all the time - Jiang Xia had no time to commit the crime.
There is even less motivation.
After coming to this conclusion, Amuro Toru sighed, why was he always so suspicious today... He let go of his hand and stood up: "Go to the lobby first, there was a murder in the temple."
