The word "ask" was obviously written by Shufen when she was lying on the ground pretending to have an emotional breakdown. Bai Longfei looked carefully before he could recognize the word and asked in confusion, "What does this mean? What is she asking for?"
I carefully looked at the structure of the words on the ground and shook my head, "She didn't mean to write this word. The word she really wanted to write should be the word for life-saving. I think this is what Shufen wanted to tell me. She wanted me to save her."
The fat and thin police officers were a little confused at this time and asked, "How can we save her? She has 'resurrected' herself and is now haunted by evil spirits. We are not Taoist priests, so how can we help her exorcise the ghosts and demons?"
Bai Longfei also gave me a questioning look. I looked at the watch on Bai Longfei's arm. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. I didn't say much and immediately asked them to go back and pack their luggage, and then we would escape from here together.
Although Bai Longfei and the others didn't know what had happened, seeing how anxious I was, they didn't waste any more time and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the room we had lived in before, disappearing into the night.
After everyone left, Lin Yingxue asked, "What happened? From your appearance, we seem to be in real danger. Could it be that the murderer has already targeted us? Or does that red-dressed female ghost really exist?"
I frowned and looked around in the night. I always felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at us. I just couldn't find out who the owner of those eyes was. But this feeling of being stared at made me very uncomfortable.
"I don't know much about it yet. From what I just saw, the murderer probably knows that we have figured out something. Judging from the murderer's cruelty, he will probably attack us tonight. This time, the murderer has the red-dressed ghost as a cover. Even if he kills us, no one will be able to find out what happened afterwards. So our situation is very dangerous now. We must escape before the murderer reacts, and then go to the special case team to ask Uncle Bai for support."
Lin Yingxue still didn't quite understand, and said, "Even if the murderer has already made up his mind to kill us, there is no need for us to run away. Bai Longfei and I are here, and those two police officers have guns. I don't believe that the murderer can kill us with this lineup."
I sighed and said, "You don't understand. The murderer is not just one person. With their number, it's more than enough to kill us."
Lin Yingxue seemed to understand something, and said with a look of disbelief: "You mean the construction team?"
After Lin Yingxue said this, I suddenly felt that the pair of eyes staring at me in secret revealed a hint of murderous intent. Lin Yingxue also felt the prying gaze, and immediately looked around vigilantly and protected me behind her.
I just hope that Bai Longfei can move faster. The murderer hiding in the dark has heard our conversation. Then it’s time to completely break up. I hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to Lin Yingxue and whispered, “Listen carefully. I will tell you the whole story now. I need you to cooperate with me to do something.”
I briefly told Lin Yingxue the truth that I had deduced. Lin Yingxue was in a state of shock. It was obvious that she had never expected that things would be so complicated. I guess she, like me, was confused by stereotyped thinking, so she couldn't think of this.
"Can you do what I just said? Success or failure depends on you."
Lin Yingxue nodded with a complicated look in her eyes, and at this moment, there were several brisk footsteps coming from behind us in the dark. I hurriedly took out the flashlight and found that the people coming were Bai Longfei and the fat and thin policemen who were carrying luggage.
Since everyone was already there, I was ready to ask them to leave quickly, but before I could say anything, Bai Longfei grabbed my arm with a gloomy face, and then took me, Lin Yingxue, and the fat and thin police officers and rushed towards the village entrance.
"How many people are there on the other side? I seemed to hear a lot of noise just now. They have quietly surrounded half of the village!"
I have never seen Bai Longfei look so serious. It seems that he also understands that we are on the verge of death. I said while running: "I am not sure, but judging from their size, there are at least 50 or 60 people. I just don't know if they have weapons."
Lin Yingxue, who was running beside me, pulled out the pistols from the waists of the fat and thin policemen, threw one to Bai Longfei, and said coldly: "No matter whether they have weapons or not, we should not be polite if they dare to attack the police. I never thought that we would be involved in such a dangerous place this time."
The fat and thin police officers were completely confused from the beginning to the end. They had no idea what we were talking about. Seeing Lin Yingxue taking their guns without their consent, they asked directly: "What are you talking about? Where is the danger? This is the area under the jurisdiction of our police station. I don't believe anyone is so bold as to attack us. Besides, we didn't hear any movement just now. How can this Brother Bai judge that someone has surrounded the village?"
Bai Longfei glared at the thin policeman and said, "We were counting on you two to hear the noise, but we're probably done for now! Who said those guys weren't brave? How brave do they need to be after two people died in a row?"
The fat and thin police officers were always afraid of Bai Longfei. When they heard Bai Longfei say this, they immediately became timid and said, "How about I call Chief Yang now and ask him to send someone to support us?"
Bai Longfei was about to agree, but I immediately retorted, "No, it's more important to escape now, and Director Yang may not answer the phone at this time. Let's go to a safe place first, and it won't be too late to contact him later!"
Bai Longfei seemed to be very confused about my decision, but seeing that I was so persistent, he didn't say anything, but asked: "There are so many people on the other side. If I'm not mistaken, they should be the people from the construction team next door, right? But why would they do such a thing? What benefits can they gain from this?"
Perhaps because the situation was critical at the moment, I didn't feel tired at all after running for so long. Also, from the sound, the people behind me should not have caught up with me yet, so I simply slowed down and briefly told Bai Longfei what happened.
"Perhaps for the construction team, this case seems to have nothing to do with them, but think about it carefully, who does the construction team work for? The boss behind this construction team has a lot to do with this matter!"
In fact, when I was analyzing the murderer's motive before, I thought about it and thought that the only benefit of this matter was that because the legend of the reincarnation and the red-clothed female ghost was exposed by the media, Kaimen Village, which was previously unknown, became famous, thus attracting a large number of tourists to visit. Coincidentally, a tourist resort was also being built here. If we really talk about benefits, the only one who benefited from this incident can only be the boss behind the construction of this resort.
But at that time, I still didn't let this idea come true, because although this idea was the most reasonable one, it still had many loopholes. Many things didn't make sense even if they were based on this idea.
Bai Longfei interrupted at this time and said, "Of course this doesn't make sense. Just the two things of 'resurrection through a corpse' and 'corpse resurrection' are something I can't understand. Ji Wen, why don't you tell me what these two things are about? Is it really related to the descendants of the fortune teller back then? Didn't you just say that you already knew the truth of the matter?"
Seeing Bai Longfei so anxious, I had to put this matter aside for now and continued, "Brother Long, think carefully about how to describe this Kaimen Village? If you have a reason to stay in Kaimen Village, what do you think this Kaimen Village is like?"
Bai Longfei frowned, thought about it carefully and said, "In my opinion, this Kaimen Village is like a prison. If we have to stay here, with no electricity, no internet, and nothing, what's the difference between this and a prison?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, the essence of Kaimen Village is actually a prison, and Shufen is a prisoner locked up in a prison with no freedom! Do you remember what I said before, that I always felt like I had seen Dalin's father somewhere before, the middle-aged man you met when you went to look for Shufen and Xiaofang? In fact, just now when I saw Dalin's father again, I was sure why I felt he was so familiar."
"Because what really made me feel familiar was not Dalin's father, but the pair of work shoes he was wearing!"
Lin Yingxue and I had been to the construction team before. Although we just stood at the door and looked, we still discovered a lot of things. The shoes worn by the burly man who stopped us from entering, as well as the shoes placed outside the tents inside the gate, were all the same brand of safety shoes. Although many people should have this kind of safety shoes, they happened to be on Dalin's father's feet. This made me think that Dalin's father was actually a member of the construction team!
In this case, everything becomes much clearer. If Kaimen Village is a prison, then the people on the construction team should be prison guards, used to guard and monitor Shufen and the others!
After I said this, Bai Longfei suddenly understood. However, just as I was about to explain everything to him, I suddenly felt a flash of fire in the dark night sky behind me, and then loud gunshots came from behind me with echoes!
