Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!
Chapter 158: Strange Case Dead Object 7
"Nothing, it's just that he looks a little strange, a little weird."
Qi Tiezui frowned, staring at the body of the middle-aged man on the ground, feeling worried.
"Weird?"
Jinnian had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't move. He just stood behind Qi Tiezui and looked carefully at the person on the ground. The exposed part looked miserable enough.
"Wasn't he killed by that shadow? Is there anything else strange?"
As Jinnian spoke, he recalled the time when he was chased by the shadow monster. He subconsciously pinched Big Eyes through the pocket of his clothes.
Qi Tiezui tilted his head and looked at the abnormal twist of the middle-aged man's neck. He felt something was weird.
There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes, and various clues were running rapidly in his mind.
"Maybe he and the man in black had a falling out? Could he have been silenced?"
Qi Tiezui muttered to himself. Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in this silent environment.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess made sense.
After all, this hair monster doesn't look like a "human" with the brains to do this. When the black shadow monster appeared, it only knew to attack madly and at most it would bite people's stomachs. How could it think of twisting the neck first?
Qi Tiezui couldn't stop looking at the neck of the corpse, and he felt more and more that his guess was right.
"right?"
Qi Tiezui turned his head to look at Jinnian, as if seeking the other party's approval, but there was already a hint of certainty in his eyes, as if he had already confirmed his guess.
"It seems that the middle-aged man has been raising monsters for the man in black for a long time. He just killed him like that. How can he be so heartless?"
There was a hint of emotion in Qi Tiezui's tone. He said why the other person had such a dark spot on his forehead. It turned out that he was waiting here.
After hearing what Qi Tiezui said, Jinnian frowned slightly: "Shouldn't they be in the same group?"
Qi Tiezui shook his head and suddenly laughed: "Xiao Jinnian, you should know that the Buddha had someone check the strange hair a few days ago. I guess he was afraid of being discovered and felt guilty. It's not easy to raise this thing."
Qi Tiezui wanted to remind the Buddha. It turned out that it was right under their noses. If they hadn't discovered it by chance, wouldn't the people around them be in trouble? He couldn't have kept this black shadow just for viewing, right?
He is so vicious that he has to help the Buddha suspect outsiders.
"Who else would do this except the man in black? Think about it, this middle-aged man keeps a monster, so he must know a lot of secrets. If the man in black feels that he is unreliable or is afraid that he will reveal the secret, silencing him is the most likely option."
Qi Tiezui's analysis was very clear and logical, leaving Jinnian stunned.
"Remember when this guy asked me to tell his fortune? In the end, it all comes down to the word 'wealth'."
Jinnian was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Qi Tiezui's words.
"remember."
"I say, there's nothing wrong with this man taking money to do a job... The problem is that what he did was too inhumane, and he's not a good person."
Jinnian fell silent and turned away, not wanting to look at the body over there. What Qi Tiezui said made a lot of sense, especially sense. However, it was just that the two men were following the person just now, and only ten minutes later, the body was gone and the person was already cold. How could one not be dazed?
The air around seemed to be frozen, with a silence that made it almost suffocating.
Silence enveloped the surroundings, with only the breeze blowing quietly, gently dispersing some of the mist and bringing a hint of refreshing coolness.
The breeze was like soft fingers, gently caressing Jinnian's face, making him unable to help but reach out his hand, as if to grasp this fleeting strange touch.
"Okay, there shouldn't be any more clues around here. Let's go find the adjutant, lest we get eaten by someone else!"
Qi Tiezui said this, scaring Jinnian a few times and sighing helplessly.
His voice was particularly clear in this silent environment, with a hint of anxiety that could not be concealed. Before leaving, he carefully took out a piece of cloth from his bag, which was of unknown use. The edges of the cloth were wrinkled and seemed a bit old, but it was washed very clean and plain white.
Qi Tiezui put his hands together and slowly spread the cloth on the middle-aged man's belly. His movements were gentle and solemn, as if he was holding a small funeral for the unfortunate middle-aged man. At least he could cover it up, so it would not be so scary, and also give the other person some final dignity, although the other person probably couldn't feel it anymore.
Jinnian licked his dry lips. His lips were a little chapped due to lack of water. After licking them, his lips looked bright red against the water's light. He glanced into the thick fog beside him with an inexplicable expression.
The places with thick fog seemed random, yet also seemed not to be random, making it difficult to grasp the pattern, but there was not much time for the two to try and make mistakes.
"What are you looking at? Didn't he scare you?"
Qi Tiezui looked at Jinnian who turned his head away in a daze, and thought that Jinnian saw the other person's appearance and was frightened, so he turned his head away.
Jinnian looked at him calmly and shook his head: "I didn't see it, Master Ba blocked it all."
"Oh, all right."
Qi Tiezui subconsciously followed Jinnian and bit his lips, but he could only bite off a few pieces of dead skin on his mouth. He frowned, scratched his fingers twice, and felt a little annoyed.
With this interruption, Qi Tiezui had already forgotten what he had asked Jinnian just now...Oh, yes, he planned to take his men with him to see how things were going with the adjutant.
As for the middle-aged man on the ground, he can only lie there for a while longer.
Qi Tiezui glanced at the man on the ground again and shook his head. After all, it was his own choice. People die for money, birds die for food... If it were someone else, he might think that if the middle-aged man was not so greedy, would the ending be different? But Qi Tiezui would not think so. This is the nature of this man. If he refused this time, there will be a next time. He will still be tempted by money. Sooner or later, he will pay for what he has done.
He slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Jinnian, with some satisfaction in his eyes. Fortunately, the child was not led astray and his personality was not messy. He breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hand and gently patted Jinnian's shoulder. His palm was very warm, and it felt warm against Jinnian's shoulder.
"Let's go, let's go find the adjutant, it's too dangerous here."
Jinnian nodded slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
The two people's pace changed from one in front and one behind to walking side by side.
Jinnian couldn't help but look back. The black figure on the ground gradually became blurred. The thick fog was like a greedy beast, slowly swallowing everything, from the edge of the ground to the bulging figure.
Jinnian just took a glance, quickly looked away, and followed Qi Tiezui's pace.
Qi Tiezui leaned forward slightly, his hands naturally resting on Jinnian's shoulders, his face full of seriousness, but his tone was a little frivolous as he warned: "Niannian, at this time, we must not let our guard down. We must always pay attention to the surrounding situation to see if there are any abnormal movements or suspicious signs. We can't take it lightly, what if that little thing is ambushing us and waiting for us... Ouch!"
Just when he was concentrating and muttering instructions to Jinnian, he was not paying attention and tripped over the threshold under his feet.
Qi Tiezui's body suddenly tilted and he almost fell to the ground. He quickly steadied himself and turned around, only to see Jinnian stepping over the threshold normally and looking at him with a puzzled look on his face.
When did I become so unlucky? This is too unlucky.
Qi Tiezui muttered, and kicked the damn threshold in dissatisfaction, which was a disgrace to his style.
Looking at Qi Tiezui scratching his head, Jinnian couldn't help but chuckle. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful arc.
As soon as the funny sound started, Qi Tiezui coughed. Jinnian quickly closed his mouth, puffed out his lips and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
Then, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere, he took Qi Tiezui's arm and urged him, "Well, well, the adjutant must be in a hurry, let's go."
Qi Tiezui shook his head helplessly, secretly sighing at his bad luck. He looked at Jinnian's anxious look, feeling angry and amused, but in the end he obeyed and took a step forward.
The two men walked forward. Qi Tiezui's mind was still immersed in the embarrassment of being tripped just now. It was only after he tripped that he noticed that the two men had walked to the door.
He looked up at the old door frame and frowned slightly. What an unlucky place! He would ask the Buddha to send people to check it out. He would never step in here again. Whoever wants to come may come!
After coming out, they walked along a narrow path, holding on to the wall, walking step by step. After walking for a few minutes, Qi Tiezui suddenly felt a dark shadow swaying in front of him.
He looked carefully and seemed to vaguely see a figure walking towards the two people.
The figure was dark and looked particularly blurry in the dim light, but one could tell that he was tall and gave people a sense of oppression. He was holding an object of unknown shape in his hand, which swayed slightly as he walked. It was an unknown thing, whether it was dead or alive.
Qi Tiezui narrowed his eyes, trying hard to see the other person clearly. His heartbeat involuntarily quickened. He guessed it must be the adjutant.
There is nothing to guess. If not, he and Jinnian might as well go back and lie down with the middle-aged man.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted up, revealing a self-deprecating smile. If he had known earlier that he should have gone to practice, he wouldn't have been so passive. After leaving those people, he felt like he was waiting to die.
Qi Tiezui stood there, looking at the black shadow that was gradually becoming clearer, speculating secretly in his heart, darkly blaming himself for his incompetence and disliking himself for the Nth time.
But at this moment, Jinnian beside him suddenly took off like a bullet. Jinnian took small steps quickly, his legs moving very fast, and he rushed towards the slightly abrupt black shadow in the thick fog like a gust of wind.
Qi Tiezui was stunned watching from the side, his mouth opened wide, it seemed like an egg could fit in it, he couldn't help but feel a surge of impotent rage in his heart: "What the hell are you running away for?! Come back!!!"
Damn it, all the things that he and Jinnian just said and instructed, have been thrown to the dogs?
However, it is not.
In fact, Jinnian's nose was very sensitive, much better than Qi Tiezui's, and he could smell the scent on Zhang Rishan from a long distance away.
The smells of these people, including Qi Tiezui, all have different smells. Jinnian has already memorized these smells. If it weren't for the foul and rotten smell caused by the black shadow running around before, he would have been able to recognize them more quickly.
Zhang Rishan seemed to have noticed Jinnian's actions, and hid the person in his hand behind him from a distance.
The person he was holding went limp as he moved, and his detached jaw swayed.
"adjutant!"
Jinnian's voice was full of surprise and concern, and the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Young Master."
Zhang Rishan's response was calm and gentle, probably because he had just finished a fight and his voice was a little hoarse.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Jinnian looked Zhang Rishan up and down anxiously, his eyes full of worry. He walked around him and almost wanted to pull Qi Tiezui over to see together.
