a hundred ways to die

In the previous case, Shen Yue and Gu Mingchen prepared to leave for the destination assigned by the text message after taking notes. As for the previous murder case of the Li family, after Shen Yue got rid of the suspicion, he did not ask any more questions. After all, the murderer She was already dead, and the old lady of the Li family, who knew about it from the beginning and urged her son to kill her, also became insane, a little deranged, and received the punishment she should have had.

After Shen Yue received the text message yesterday, he immediately bought two tickets for t1564, and went back to his place of residence to start packing. After Gu Mingchen also arranged the affairs in the coffee shop, he was ready to leave. Shen Yue called his friends to dismantle the bomb in the bookcase. Tao Liqun looked at the well-made bomb under the bookcase, and looked at Shen Yue with some concern.

Recently, this person has become more and more mysterious. He asked the clerk here, Shen Li spends here almost every day, someone once saw him holding a blank book and talking to himself.

"You have nothing to do recently, right? Why does it look more and more abnormal." Tao Liqun looked Shen Yue up and down. As Shen Yue's only friend, he felt that it was necessary for him to care about Shen Yue's personal problems.

Shen Yue put his luggage next to the bookcase, looked at Tao Liqun with a happy face, completely swept away the lack of energy from a few months ago, his clothes were still wrinkled, but they were clean, and his beard was also shaved. He looked a few years younger than the last time I saw him.

"There is no better time than now." Shen Yue casually took a few books from the bookcase, Tao Liqun curiously wanted to flip through a few, but Shen Yue snatched them away.

"After the bomb is dismantled, go back quickly. They are all useless books. What's so interesting about them?" Then Shen Yue put the books back in place without making a fuss.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Tao Liqun laughed dryly, then shook his head helplessly. After about ten minutes, the bomb disposal task was completed. He blinked, then led Tao Liqun out of the coffee shop with his shoulders crossed.

Gu Mingchen saw that while Shen Li was dragging Tao Liqun to eat, a bomb disposal employee took a book from the bookshelf, looked around, and stuffed the book into the bag of the tool bag.

After seeing off Tao Liqun, Shen Yue returned to the coffee shop. Gu Mingchen was already standing next to the shop with his suitcase. The departure time of t1564 is about 7 o'clock, and the departure time is just right now.Shen Yue whistled, then hailed a taxi, took the suitcase from Gu Mingchen and put it in the back of the car.

Shen Yue even hummed a little tune when he opened the taxi door. Gu Mingchen glanced at Shen Yue, obviously not quite understanding his abnormal phenomenon, Shen Yue kept mumbling something nervously, matching the tune, it was a bit like It was singing rap, Gu Mingchen was embarrassed to ask, so he listened quietly, but he didn't understand it from the beginning to the end.

At the train station, Shen Yue checked the ticket, but Gu Mingchen still had a hesitant expression.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Shen Yue asked when the seat was settled.

"What did you hum just now?" Gu Mingchen seemed to feel a little embarrassed to ask, but he was really curious. After getting along with Shen Li for a long time, he would unconsciously focus on him, and many words could not be understood. Describe this young man in his early twenties...

Shen Li's smile became more and more cheerful, he seemed to have known that Gu Mingchen would ask this question, so he said in a slightly teasing tone, "What I said just now is that my boss and I went on a trip for the first time, and I couldn't be more happy than myself. " Then he leaned closer to Gu Mingchen and blinked his eyes.

Gu Mingchen turned his face away, looked out the window, the sweet voice was transmitted to the whole carriage through the radio, the train was about to leave in 5 minutes.

The temperature at night is quite different inside and outside the car. The window in front of Gu Mingchen is covered with a layer of water vapor. Gu Mingchen draws irregular circles on it with his fingers, then suddenly thinks of something, and writes two words on it. word.

, skeleton and reason.

These two words were originally derived from the case of the Li family couple, so far there has been no result of speculation about their meanings.

This must refer to something. The Li family and his wife died under the criminal plan of one person, but neither of them knew that they were instigated by the same person, which shows that the channel of communication is very hidden. The old lady of the Li family suddenly went crazy. I have already asked once to find out the meaning behind these two words, but the old lady of the Li family has forgotten everything.

Skull, what can this represent, but it is a symbol of death, it can represent death, and it can be a mark of an organization. This is too broad, and people have nowhere to start. As for the second word, the reason, this is easy to guess. The deaths of the two stemmed from poisoning each other, but the most fundamental reason was that they contacted the same criminal planner, who created such a scene without their knowledge.So, the word cause should refer to the way in which the person behind the crime can be contacted.

The written words faded gradually, water remained along the glass, and disappeared instantly when the train started.Shen Yue took out a piece of paper from his bag, and drew a skull on it with a pen.

He took the lead in writing down a few expressions related to the skeleton, and Gu Mingchen also continued to make additions, and soon filled most of the paper.

Shen Yue changed a pen, and quickly circled it with a red fountain pen.

"You see, this is an expansion of the word skull that we can think of. The word that appears most frequently is this word - mark. Skeleton is marked on the map, dangerous, and it is also used as a mark on the Internet. Based on the above, the possibility of the greatest representative Sex is also a marker, combined with the next reason, and ultimately, a criminal mastermind, they have a certain transaction in a certain place related to the marker, or whatever, and then execute the murder plan."

Shen Li's reasoning is very organized and reasonable, Gu Mingchen nodded, if what Shen Li said is true, then they will probably have a step closer hint during this trip to the Bat Mansion.

At night, Gu Mingchen didn't feel sleepy at all. He took out a piece of clothing from his luggage and put it on, and then read a book. Shen Li also waited very quietly for the dawn. In less than two hours, they will arrive in City A.

City A is not a developed city, and it is mainly based on tourism. Many places here still retain their original style, and occasionally in more remote villages, a lot of traces left over from history can be seen.Shen Yue and Gu Mingchen's next stop is a more remote mountainous area.

There are a lot of black cars gathered at the train station, and they are always looking for opportunities to make a fortune from these unfamiliar foreigners. Shen Yue and Gu Mingchen walked out of the station and bought a map from outside. This time it rang again.

"You have probably arrived at the railway station of city a. In case you can't find your way, I will give you some guidance. Are you touched? There is a bus parked a kilometer away from the south gate of the railway station. , privately operated, you need to pay 50 yuan to get on the bus, and one car goes directly. Finally, welcome again.”

Shen Li curled his lips, and Gu Mingchen also used his mobile phone to find the route to the Bat Mountain Villa. It takes about three transfers, and the last transfer is only sent once a day. At noon, if he and Shen Li take that one, they will be in time.

"Take the bus?"

"No, let's take that private bus, it seems like it will be very interesting." Shen Yue kept walking around in excitement, Gu Mingchen looked at the text message in Shen Yue's hand, and finally the two walked towards the bus.

After paying the money, the two of them got into the bus. There were already many people in the bus. Shen Yue and Gu Mingchen sat in the last row next to them. What to shoot, Shen Yue leaned over and asked, "Do you know where this bus is going? I just saw that there seems to be a tour guide below?"

The young man looked at Shen Yue with a bewildered expression on his face, why did a person who didn't know where the car was going or what it was doing get in the car.

"This car is going to the Bat Mountain Villa. Most of the people in this car have signed up to travel there, so it is not normal to have a tour guide. The 50 yuan you just gave includes the travel expenses and the cost of the tour guide's introduction along the way. Bat Mountain Villa It’s inside the mountain, so the car can only go half way, and you need to climb the rest by yourself.”

Weird, still weird...

Gu Mingchen listened to the conversation over there, he knew why Shen Li asked such a question, because it was really strange, this is a tourist bus, the destination is Bat Villa, the tourist gimmick there is Western vampires, tourists Most of them are young people, but there are actually old people and middle-aged women in the car.

Without saying anything else, Shen Li sat back in his seat. If something goes wrong, he must be a demon. It seems that this trip to the Bat Villa is another action that has been pre-planned. The specific person and what they are planning will depend on the other party. action.

After another couple of men and women got on the car, it started. It was bumpy all the way. When it reached the mountains, the signal would weaken. Gu Mingchen took out his phone and was about to take a look. When the news from the coffee shop suddenly popped up. one news.

Express: At about 12:45 in city a, a bus bound for Bat Villa exploded, and no one was spared.Gu Mingchen quickly scrolled down the news, and at the end, he saw a bus that had been almost burned to the ground. This bus was the one they planned to take.

A chill instantly pervaded the whole body, at this time Shen Yue's cell phone rang.

Still a text message.

If you see this text message, congratulations, you are still alive, now is the rule of the game, complete the assigned tasks according to my requirements, don't try to challenge my authority, otherwise, you will- bang, disappear, I am the devil ...
