Zhan Hongyun is definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could a woman go out alone in this deep mountain forest?
Isn't she afraid? What if her life is in danger?
Xia Xiaoyu followed him. No matter what happened to the other party, he would investigate clearly.
However, something unexpected happened to Xia Xiaoyu. Zhan Hongyun was faster than him, running in front and throwing him far away.
"Sure enough, there is a problem. She is faster than me. Is she also a peerless master? No, she found out that I was following me, so she wants to get rid of me?"
While Xia Xiaoyu was shocked, he also understood, "The more you don't want me to follow you, then I will follow you. I want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd!"
An hour later, Xia Xiaoyu was thrown at least one kilometer away by Zhan Hongyun.
If Xia Xiaoyu hadn't been able to hear Zhan Hongyun's running voice, he might have been unable to pursue him.
"ah……"
Suddenly, a shocking and shrill sound came, completely piercing the tranquility of the forest. Xia Xiaoyu, who was chasing after him, trembled when he heard the sound.
He kept his pace as low as possible and listened carefully while running, trying to hear clearly whether anyone was there. He was very careful.
Three minutes later, he arrived at the source of the sound and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
There was no figure of Zhan Hongyun in front of him at all, as if he had disappeared without a trace.
"Where will she go?"
Xia Xiaoyu frowned, feeling as if he had been tricked and got into someone else's conspiracy.
The sound Zhan Hongyun just made was to lure him in and escape.
This is definitely a conspiracy, and it is most likely something that has been planned for a long time. Otherwise, Shi Guoyuan and others would not come to such uninhabited mountains and forests to investigate any ancient history, and even said they were going to Kunlun for archeology.
Moreover, the environment in Kunlun is harsh, with ice and snow. If such an old man goes there, he will probably have problems even if he stays there for a day.
"Looks like you have to be careful in the future!"
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head and looked around for Zhan Hongyun, but did not find him, so he had to return without success.
In any case, there is definitely something wrong with this Zhan Hongyun, and she might be the mastermind of the entire conspiracy.
Xia Xiaoyu returned to the camping place with a solemn expression and was about to continue sleeping.
However, at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
In his sight, the veiled Zhan Hongyun came back quietly. As if nothing happened, she went directly into the tent to sleep, making loud noises.
During this process, Xia Xiaoyu even clearly saw mud on Zhan Hongyun's body, and could smell a faint smell of blood coming from Zhan Hongyun's body.
What on earth is going on? What on earth did she do?
"How is that possible?"
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoyu's expression changed drastically, and he was shocked to find that among the five tents, there was no heartbeat in Shi Qizhi's tent.
The night wind blew through the forest, exuding a strong smell of blood.
"not good!"
Xia Xiaoyu hurried over and opened Shi Qizhi's tent. The scene he saw completely stunned him.
Shi Qizhi is dead!
He was killed by someone piercing his throat with a sharp tree!
"There should be someone controlling all this from the shadows."
Xia Xiaoyu began to observe the scene carefully, hoping to find some clues.
However, unexpectedly, there was no gap in the tent, no footprints on the site, and no signs of struggle.
It was as if Shi Qizhi was stabbed to death by a sharp tree that appeared out of thin air in his sleep, with no trace of pain on his face.
"How could this happen?" Xia Xiaoyu frowned.
At this time, Xia Xiaoyu was helpless about all this and could not explain it at all.
But he believed that the murderer must be among these people.
"Shi Qizhi, are you asleep?"
Just when Xia Xiaoyu was confused, a girl's voice came from outside, and it was Lei Panpan.
She turned on the light and walked into the tent. The light fell on Xia Xiaoyu, which made her startled and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
This is Shi Qizhi's tent. Why is Xia Xiaoyu here?
She shined the light on Shi Qizhi again, and when she discovered that Shi Qizhi's throat had been penetrated and he was still staring at death, she was stunned for a moment.
"ah……"
The next second, she burst out with a sharp scream, piercing the quiet night and causing other tents to light up.
"What happened?"
The first people to react were Yang Xing with the crew cut and Chen Yuquan.
Immediately afterwards, Zhan Hongyun and Shi Guoyuan also rushed over with lights on.
"Nian Nian, stay away from him!"
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they all looked horrified. Yang Xing quickly pulled Lei Panpan back, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He stared at Xia Xiaoyu coldly, filled with murderous aura, and asked: "
Xia Xiaoyu, why did you kill Shi Qizhi?"
"It must have been him. When I came, he was the only one in Shi Qizhi's tent. Who else was there besides him?"
Lei Panpan looked at the dead Shi Qizhi and suddenly shouted heartbreakingly. She grabbed Yang Xing's hand and said angrily: "Sister Xing, you must avenge Shi Qizhi and kill this murderer!"
In the expedition team, she and Shi Qizhi had a crush on each other and thought about becoming a couple. Shi Qizhi even said that when the expedition was over and they returned to the city, they would start a relationship.
Now that Shi Qizhi suddenly died, how could she not be heartbroken and furious?
She even wanted to pounce on Xia Xiaoyu and cut him into pieces to avenge Shi Qizhi.
"Did you do it? Answer me!"
Yang Xing's eyes were cold, and the dagger in his hand also shone with cold light.
At this moment, she was even colder than before, with a frightening and fierce light flashing in her eyes.
"Xiaoyu, what happened?" Chen Yuquan asked.
Unlike the people in the expedition team, he knew Xia Xiaoyu very well and would never kill someone without any reason.
Therefore, he felt that there must be a misunderstanding here.
"You, how could you do such a thing?" Zhan Hongyun also made a trembling voice at this time, obviously filled with fear.
When Xia Xiaoyu heard this, he looked at Zhan Hongyun in surprise, and then glanced at these people. When he saw Shi Guoyuan, he felt a little doubtful in his heart.
Everyone was angry, sad, or fearful and wary about Shi Qizhi's death.
However, Shi Guoyuan was different from others. A trace of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, and he was dumbfounded and his whole body was trembling.
Even, his lips were still trembling.
"Sure enough, it happened."
Although he didn't say it out loud, Xia Xiaoyu understood it. He immediately saw Shi Guoyuan's lips and became even more confused.
It seems that this old professor is still hiding something.
