"Then, when we were practicing, Li Heng went to pick up the ball, but I didn't know what was going on. One staggered down and fell downstairs... and died." Xu Yi said this, suddenly covering his face and sobbing. "I don’t know, I really don’t know. I just stood there waiting for him to pick up the ball. Before he could react, he fell. I... There was no one at the time, and I was terrified. , And then I ran down to find our captain. The captain went downstairs and saw Li Heng's corpse. He also cried, oooooooo."

"Oh." Hearing this, the captain said hurriedly: "I heard about it, and I didn't quite believe it, and then went to see the child's corpse..." At this point, the voice was a little choked. After a while, he said: "I just Hurry up and report the crime, and then you will come here." He said, groping for a long time with a trembling hand, took a cigarette from his pocket to light it, and took two puffs. Then he calmed down and said mournfully. "It's okay for you to come here. The parents haven't come yet. The child here is dead, and my captain is at the end." As he said, smoking the cigarette viciously, as if griefing this hapless fate.

"It looks like an accident." Xiao Gao concluded.

"It should be." The captain nodded while smoking; "I'm not good, I didn't take good care of the child." He said, leaving the cigarette butt on the ground, and kept his feet on the floor and said: "It's me who is not good, no Let the child go to the top of the building to practice. If it weren't for my suggestion, the child wouldn't fall from upstairs. I... I..." He said, suddenly covering his face, sobbing out of his throat...

Xiao Gao looked at each other with me.

"How is it?" Xiao Gao asked.

"Oh..." I groaned, and frowned. My mission was to "find the uninfected". However, I was involved in an accident. According to the "scenario setting", the deceased would be "Wei". Infected"

If the deceased is an "uninfected person," then what is the point of searching for it by yourself

As I was thinking, suddenly, the pocket watch in my pocket made a "ding-ding" sound. I hurriedly took out the pocket watch from my pocket, and saw a line written on it: "There are still five hours before destruction."

There are five hours to ruin!

That proves that the uninfected person has not been found yet? So what does this accident mean

"Two Mr. Xu." Suddenly, the captain on the opposite side stood up and rubbed his hands. "What do you think? If it is an accident that this case is settled, I will take responsibility for Xu Yi's participation in the competition tomorrow." Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect this to be retired soon, and there was such a result."

"Old Xu, what do you say?" Xiao Gao hesitated and looked at me.

I gritted my teeth and looked down at the pocket watch in my hand. There are still five hours before the time of destruction. Oh, I should say, there are four hours and 50 minutes left. The task is to find the "uninfected", so let's look at the dead one. People

"Where is the body?" I asked the captain.

The captain was holding his head and crying. Hearing this, he wiped his eyes with his hand and whimpered: "I originally wanted to transfer the child, but Manager Chen said that I will find the police to investigate the scene later and it is not easy to move, so Still outside.

"Okay." I immediately stood up and said: "Then let's go have a look."

Xiao Gao hurriedly agreed and stood up. We went out together. When Xu Yi and the captain heard this, they also went out. The members of the table tennis team in the living room were whispering about something and saw us coming out. They all stood up and looked at us.

"You are here to stay alive." The captain ordered: "I will go to see the scene with the detectives, oh, Manager Chen, please lead the way."

When the other team members heard this, they hurriedly agreed. Manager Chen hurriedly followed. We went out the door together, made an elevator down, and walked out of the hotel’s door. Manager Chen hurriedly said, "Please follow me." We went down the stairs, walked to the back of the hotel, to the back courtyard, and saw a corpse surrounded by the cordon.

"Here." Manager Chen hurriedly brought us over and pointed to the corpse in the cordon, but he didn't dare to pass. He seemed a little scared. He rubbed his hands and smiled bitterly: "The people who fell from the stairs are all a bit scared. Horror, I'm timid, haha, everyone, please forgive me."

Xiao Gao smiled contemptuously, without saying much, lifted the cordon, and we walked to the corpse together. The corpse knew that it was a teenage boy. He kept lying on his stomach, wearing a school uniform with purple and black blood. Winding.

Xiao Gao put on his white gloves, walked to the corpse, and turned the corpse over gently. There were lights in the yard. The corpse was illuminated by the lights. The captain said "Oh," and stepped back two steps. It turned out that the face had fallen. It has to be deformed, the facial features are shifted, and the eyes are gone, which is really scary.

Even though Xiao Gao was a detective, he was a little disgusted. He covered his mouth and nose with his hand, took a closer look at the corpse, checked the mouth and the corpse, raised his head and said to me: "According to the speculation of the corpse, the time of death Five or six hours ago, the mouth was still clean, and it didn't look like he was poisoned to death. According to preliminary judgment, it was indeed an accident."

I nodded, Xiao Gao breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put the corpse down, and kept lying on my stomach. Then I took off my gloves and opened a handful of them. I kept shaking my head and said, "Hey, this man who fell to death. , Really can't watch."

"Yes." The captain dared not come over, but his voice was a little choked: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, it was all my fault.

I didn’t say a word, staring at the corpse, and I thought that if this corpse is really an "uninfected person", and everyone is dead, look for a fart, so he must not be, then... Is the "uninfected person" the murderer? ? This is actually not an accident, or a murder

Thinking of the word murder, I suddenly had a kind of excitement in my heart. I couldn't help but look down at my pocket. Sure enough, the pocket watch began to flicker again. I reached out and took out the pocket watch, and saw that the line above changed again—" There are four hours left before the time of destruction."

Four hours left!

I looked up at the sky. It was in the early morning when a crescent moon was hanging in the sky, and the air was cold and cold.

"How about it, Old Xu, can we judge that it was an accident?" Xiao Gao walked over, handed me a form, handed me a pen, and urged: "The captain urged me just now. If it's an accident, we can Sign, and then... By the way, what about Xu Yi? What about the child? This child will have a competition tomorrow. It must be an accident. You can participate in the competition on time. You know, for this competition, these athletes have been preparing for a long time. It's not easy."

I looked down at the signature on the form, and suddenly looked left and right. As expected, there was no trace of Xu Yi. The captain was a person who could look at me. Seeing my expression, I hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu is looking for Xu Yi, I will look for it. he."

"No." I shook my head and looked up at the roof. This hotel is about thirteen floors. Falling from here is sure to die.

"I want to go to the roof and have a look." I said.

The captain and Xiao Gao suddenly looked at each other. Xiao Gao was about to speak. I waved my hand, turned and walked quickly to the manager Chen who was not far away and said, "I want to go to the top of the building to take a look."

"Okay." Manager Chen had been hiding far, and nodded quickly at this moment; "I'll take you there." After that, he turned and led me to the front door. He just walked to the front door and saw Xu Yi standing there. At the door, the boy had the kind of delicate and fair temperament. At this time, he was standing at the door, his eyes were red, but his face was stunned. He seemed to be in a trance, his expression was neither sad nor happy, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Just a moment.

"Why don't you go over and take a look?" Manager Chen said.

"I..." Xu Yi suddenly showed a bit of pain on her face, bit her lip, shook her head, and tears fell again.

"He is still a child, understandable." The captain's voice rang from behind.

Manager Chen nodded, and suddenly took a deep look at me.

"Go to the top of the building." I pretended not to see their expressions and lowered my head to urge.

Manager Chen hurriedly promised and took us to the elevator until we reached the top floor, then opened the top door and climbed up the platform.

This is an empty space, but there are a few simple table tennis tables, probably used by the captain for the game temporarily. There are a few rackets on the table tennis table, and the ground is full of yellow table tennis balls. Surrounded by a fence, it is a simple iron fence, but there is a cement ditch inside the fence. If it is not a special case, no one should cross the fence.

"Which one had the accident?" I turned around and asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi followed the captain all the time. Hearing this, he pointed to the table tennis table by the door.

I looked up and saw that although the table tennis table was not far from the fence, it was not too close. It would take about a dozen steps to run. I suddenly moved. I finally got a bit of trance. I was thinking about it. Suddenly his pocket watch flickered, and when he escaped, he saw that it said "Three hours before the time of destruction."

Three hours left

I looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was approaching dawn. The red glow of the sun gradually dyed the clouds with a faint rosy color. The moon was still in the sky, showing a beautiful crooked green. There were still three hours. ,That's too late!

Thinking of this, I bit my lip and looked around. I saw the captain and Manager Chen standing at the door, while Xu Yi was hiding behind the captain, peeking out at me.

"Xu Yi, come here." I beckoned to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi didn't move, but looked up at the captain.

"Quickly." The captain urged.

Xu Yi bit her lip, so she walked up to me in expectation, lowered her head, rubbed the ground with her toes subconsciously, and said nothing.

"Xu Yi." I leaned down, held Xu Yi's thin shoulders, sighed, and asked in a low voice: "How did you kill Li Rui, tell me."
