Before Wang Juan finished her words, Lu Ming's face suddenly felt hot. He then saw Wang Juan's eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief, and he froze there.
Lu Ming wiped his face, his hands were covered in blood.
Looking at Wang Juan again, she took a step back, leaned against the wall, and slowly fell down.
Lu Ming was completely stunned. Wang Juan was dead...
How did Wang Juan die? How did she die
What about the arrow in the neck
What exactly happened
Lu Ming was completely shocked. Even though he was a soldier, he had never fought in a war in peacetime. He was on rescue missions all day long and had seen many dead bodies during rescue operations.
But Wang Juan was the first one who died so suddenly in front of him, she was still talking one second and dead the next.
While I was distracted, I heard footsteps outside.
"The rain was too heavy and the ice was too thick. Fortunately, they dug for several days. I also got a few radishes today. I will stew them for you in the evening..."
As Liu Qiaoer was talking, she came in carrying a bag. Seeing Lu Ming's stunned look, her heart sank and she took two steps forward.
Wang Juan was seen sitting at the door of her basement, with her eyes open.
"What's going on?"
Lu Ming was completely speechless and explained irritably: "I didn't call her in, she barged in on her own and I couldn't stop her. She ate the food in the refrigerator and she didn't leave. She insisted on looking around. As a result..."
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly: "You will suffer for your own sins."
Lu Ming: "What should we do? She died here. How should we explain this to her family?"
Liu Qiaoer glanced at him calmly: "Of course you have to explain the trouble you caused."
Lu Ming was helpless: "How come an arrow suddenly appeared here?"
Liu Qiao'er shrugged and spread her hands: "It's the end of the world, sir, who doesn't add some insurance to their supplies? I have traps not only here, but also on the stairs below."
"Fortunately you didn't go around while I was gone, otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died."
Lu Ming gritted his teeth: "What should we do now?"
Liu Qiaoer also sighed helplessly: "What else can I do? Come on, throw her onto the roof for me."
"Ah?" Lu Ming was a little confused. "Throw it on the roof?"
Liu Qiaoer: "Yes, only if we throw it on the roof, others won't find it. Even if they do, we don't know when it will be discovered. Our roof is high, so unless someone climbs up on purpose, they won't find it."
Lu Ming sighed helplessly: "Okay, but how can I explain this to her family?"
Liu Qiaoer: "What's there to explain? People die in the village every day. Who cares? Besides, she committed suicide by herself. Did you harm her?"
Lu Ming quickly clarified: "I didn't harm her. I even tried to stop her. It's your house. Who would set up a trap in your house?"
Liu Qiaoer said as if it was a matter of course: "It's my home, my private place. Who said I can't set up traps? This is my territory. I can do whatever I want. What's your business? If she didn't barge in, would she die?"
Lu Ming went forward and dragged out Wang Juan's body. After a careful inspection, he saw Liu Qiaoer forcefully pulling out the arrow from her neck.
The arrow had a hook, and when it was pulled out, blood spurted all over the floor.
Liu Qiaoer found a towel and wiped the arrow vigorously, then applied poison to the picture and reinstalled the mechanism.
He explained: "This mechanism is used to guard the door. The basement is very dark. When someone comes in, they will definitely pull the light cord. This cord is the mechanism. When you pull it, the light will come on and an arrow will shoot out. The poison on the arrow is deadly and can kill a person in three seconds."
After hearing this, Lu Ming swallowed hard and said, "Do you have to be so cruel?"
Liu Qiaoer raised her eyebrows. If Lu Ming knew what was hidden in her basement, he would know that her viciousness was normal.
"Bank robbery is also a capital crime. Robbery has been going on for more than a thousand years. I am just sentencing these thieves in advance."
Lu Ming finally understood why Liu Qiaoer took a flashlight when she went to the basement. It turned out that not all switches in the house could be touched.
"What if the thief escapes this?"
Liu Qiaoer turned on the flashlight, allowing Lu Ming to see a narrow staircase with a door at the entrance.
“See that door down there?”
Lu Ming nodded.
Liu Qiaoer said, "The door downstairs is locked. It's hard for ordinary people to open it unless they use an electric saw. If they really used an electric saw to open it, how could you not know it?"
Then Liu Qiaoer pressed the wall next to her, and Lu Ming actually saw a wooden warehouse with a mechanism.
Before the thief could open the door, Liu Qiaoer shot him to pieces.
"If that door is demolished non-violently, this wooden barn will solve the problem for me."
After saying that, Liu Qiaoer pointed to the second floor and said, "It's the same on the second floor, but the lock on the second floor is easier to open."
Lu Ming finally understood that Liu Qiaoer had no intention of stopping Wang Juan last time. If Wang Juan had insisted on breaking in, she would have died.
After all, it was his responsibility this time. Lu Ming carried Wang Juan in one hand and leaned on a crutch with the other. While it was dark, he tied a rope around Wang Juan's waist and took her to the roof.
But when he reached the third floor, he saw the tree next door and decided to go all out, so he simply hung Wang Juan's body on the tree.
This created a scene where she was frozen to death while climbing a tree. If she was brought down by someone, the hole in her neck could be explained as being caused by a tree branch. After all, the tree branches were frozen into ice, and the sharp icicles could be used as killing weapons.
After returning to the room, Lu Ming was so cold that he could not stand it. Liu Qiaoer took another piece of meat and radish, stewed two bowls of mutton soup, and served them with pancakes to make mutton soup with steamed buns.
Lu Mingze began to clean up the bloodstains in the house, from upstairs to downstairs, and most importantly the basement door, which he wiped clean. Finally, he washed his clothes with disinfectant for a long time, and the color of the clothes faded.
His hands turned white from washing, and he couldn't get over the thought of death.
I always feel that he was responsible for Wang Juan's death.
Liu Qiaoer placed the mutton soup steamed bun in front of him and comforted him, "Don't panic. When you go back, your comrades will have gotten used to it. If you don't believe me, go and see. There are no dead people there now. Your comrades are either burning corpses or carrying corpses."
Lu Ming rubbed his leg and said, "My leg injury is almost healed. I will apply to go back tomorrow. When I go back, you must take care of yourself..."
After saying that, Lu Ming glanced at Liu Qiaoer who had a calm expression.
"Forget it, you are more capable than I thought. You don't need me to tell you. I am glad I don't cause you any trouble."
Liu Qiaoer smiled: "Officer Lu, you are too modest, but please take care of me when we meet again in the future."
Lu Ming glanced at the comfortable room and smiled bitterly in frustration: "Do you still need my care?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded and looked very obedient: "After the ice is frozen, an underground city will be built on it. If you have a place in the underground city by then, just don't forget me."
Although Lu Ming didn't know why Liu Qiaoer knew so much, he remembered her kindness.
"Okay, if the leader really has such an arrangement, I will definitely not forget you. Even if my place is not needed, I will let you move in."
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly: "Men's words are deceiving. If you have a wife by then, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of me."
