Although it only hit the foot, fortunately, this action still effectively prevented Xu Fu from chasing and killing Mu Qin. Mu Qin successfully dragged Han Li to the gate of the church, and Qiu Zijia also hurriedly followed Mu Qin out. It was raining heavily, and a few people rushed into the pouring rain. Mu Qin was a little confused about the direction. The splashing rain and the sound of the rain blurred his senses. He could only rely on his vague intuition to drag the stumbling Han Li. Got into the dark courtyard.
Xu Fu, who was left behind by them, did not catch up, because the dropped candle chandelier pinned down his right leg, and also left a long wound on his lower leg, although Xu Fu suffered an injury of this degree Don't care, but it will still affect his speed of action.
Xu Fu raised the candle chandelier with one hand and freed his legs from the oppression of the chandelier. Then he looked back at the open door of the church and the direction where Mu Qin and others escaped and left.
After watching for a while, Xu Fu showed a thoughtful expression. Then he squatted down and violently tore a few strips of fabric from his trouser legs, then found a wooden board, clamped the injured leg with the wooden board and tied it with cloth strips to protect it firmly.
His movements are proficient, and he is very experienced in dealing with wounds. When he took care of the injury on his leg, he turned around and walked to Cheng Guoxu who was lying on the ground beside him.
Cheng Guoxu fell to the ground stiffly, with his head resting on the foot of a bench. He was desperately covering the blood on his neck with his hands and clothes, hoping that the blood would flow more slowly, but his blood still flowed quickly. There was a pool of bright red blood all over his body.
Xu Fu examined Cheng Guoxu for a while, and slowly knelt down in front of him.
Xu Fu said to Cheng Guoxu: "You rushed very fast just now, and your strikes were merciless, which proves that you are eager to kill me."
Cheng Guoxu stared and couldn't speak. The knife on his neck injured his vocal cords, and the backflow of blood made him unable to breathe. He clearly knew that he was about to die, and he felt very terrified about it. Panicked in his eyes, he repeatedly opened his mouth to say something to Xu Fu, but every time he opened his mouth, a lot of blood would pour out of his mouth, there was no other way but to hasten his death .
"You want me to die." Xu Fu repeated this sentence, and then he suddenly smiled at Cheng Guoxu, "It's urgent."
"But why?" Xu Fu began to ask and answer, "If you and I have no grievances, why do you want me to die? Is it because of the conversation I had with Han Li just now?"
Xu Fu's words made Cheng Guoxu's eyes widen, and his pupils shrank and trembled violently. Xu Fu noticed this and laughed at him: "I guessed right, you heard my conversation with Han Li , and then tried to kill me."
"So... it's you, right?" Xu Fu moved his face closer to Cheng Guoxu, and reached out to touch Cheng Guoxu's neck, so that his hands were covered with Cheng Guoxu's blood.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Fu looked down at his blood-stained hands, and smiled even more happily, "I have been tracking down the murderer who serially tortured and killed children in the Iris Flower Orphanage ten years ago, because among those dead children, one It was my sister who was abducted by human traffickers many years ago."
"It's you, isn't it!?" Xu Fu's voice suddenly rose, he reached out and pinched Cheng Guoxu's face, his fingers deeply pinched into the flesh and blood of Cheng Guoxu's cheek, Xu Fu used great strength So much so that the knuckles of his fingers were turning white, and the blood vessels and veins were protruding one by one.
Cheng Guoxu was pinched so that his entire face was deformed, his eyeballs were about to pop out, and more blood came out from his mouth and nose, and he struggled wildly under Xu Fu's hands.
"I'm really not reconciled." Xu Fu spoke in a calm tone, but his face was full of ferocious resentment, "I searched for so many years but couldn't find you. During this period, I was imprisoned for manslaughter, and later I was shot by the police for escaping from prison. As a result, you But you can live so happily outside! You can live to this day! And now, you can die in front of my eyes so simply and easily!"
Xu Fu's emotions got a little out of control. He took out a knife and stabbed more wounds on Cheng Guoxu's body. After stabbing a few times, Cheng Guoxu couldn't hold it anymore. He rolled his eyes and stopped the signs of life. Xu Fu was so angry that he swung the blade even more ferociously, almost piercing Cheng Guoxu into a bloody hornet's nest.
"The heavens are really hard to open." Xu Fu whipped the corpse for a long time, and finally stood up panting with a knife in hand. His body was covered with blood spattered by Cheng Guoxu. The salty smell made Xu Fu feel sick and made Xu Fu feel sick. Fu Wan was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger: "Why do good people never live long, but scourges can last for thousands of years!"
…
"Mu Qin! Wake up, are you alright!?" Mu Qin heard Qiu Zijia's urgent cry, he opened his eyes dimly, and shivered uncontrollably as soon as he opened them, because it was so cold around him , the downpour continued, and the rain splashed on Mu Qin and Qiu Zijia.
For the sake of safety, Mu Qin did not choose to enter the building with Qiu Zijia, but squatted directly in the flower bed in the courtyard.
After the orphanage was abandoned, the flower bed was left unattended, and the weeds were growing wildly and luxuriantly, taller than people. Mu Qin and others squatted in the grass, and the tall weeds became their natural barrier. In addition, there are no lights in the courtyard, and the moon cannot be seen on rainy nights, and there is no light at all. It is pitch black and you can't reach your fingers. Hiding in such a dark place is safer than in a building.
Rows of big trees were planted next to the flower bed. Although some trees withered, some grew up naturally. The dense branches and leaves became tree umbrellas. Mu Qin and others could hide under the trees. Fortunately, the rain Although it was ferocious, there was no thunder in the sky. Mu Qin expected that the tragedy of lightning hitting trees and setting fire to himself would not happen.
It’s just that it’s cold outside, not as warm as inside the building to avoid the wind and cold. Mu Qin estimates that the temperature is only below 10 degrees, and the human body at this temperature can already feel the cold obviously. In addition, the rain is damp and cold. For a moment, even Mu Qin, who always thought he was strong enough, also seemed to faint.
On the contrary, Qiu Zijia was able to keep his mind clear. He hugged Mu Qin's arm and hugged him to keep warm, with uncontrollable fear in his voice: "You must be fine!"
Mu Qin reached out and wiped the wet hair on his forehead, and said, "I'm fine, maybe my body is failing, and I lost consciousness for a few minutes just now."
After hearing this, Qiu Zijia reached out and hugged Mu Qin's shoulders, trying to give Mu Qin his warmth as much as possible. He asked Mu Qin, "Are you cold? We won't be cold if we are together."
Mu Qin patted Qiu Zijia's arm, and asked, "Where's Han Li?"
Qiu Zijia replied: "I moved her to the side of the tree to lean against, she is still alive, but passed out."
Mu Qin thought for a moment, then said to Qiu Zijia: "We can't stay here for long, we have to find a safe place."
"Where... is it safe?" Qiu Zijia was at a loss. A series of horrific encounters and the oppression of the killer had already brought his spirit to the verge of collapse. He looked terrified and fragile. He obviously did not have the strong psychological quality like Mu Qin.
"I don't know... where is the safest place." Mu Qin sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, don't think about it for now, let's take a rest here."
After finishing speaking, Mu Qin didn't speak anymore, and Qiu Zijia didn't know what to say. The two of them quietly under the shelter of the trees, endured the raindrops that fell on their bodies from time to time through the gaps in the leaves, and endured the chaos in the east, west, north and south. The cold wind blowing, looking at the flickering lights in various buildings not far away.
After waiting quietly for a while, Mu Qin suddenly said, "Qiu Zijia, you are right about one thing."
Qiu Zijia didn't understand, so he asked, "What is it?"
"Didn't you say before that all of us are connected to this orphanage?" Mu Qin said.
Qiu Zijia nodded: "I really said so."
Mu Qin laughed and laughed: "Not only are we connected with the orphanage, I even think that all of us here have criminal records."
Qiu Zijia was stunned by Mu Qin's words. Not only was he stunned, but his body became stiff. After a while, Qiu Zijia asked Mu Qin: "How can you be sure that all of us have criminal records?"
"Look, didn't Xu Fu say that he is a murderer? And Han Li, she just admitted in the church that she has black material about child abuse." Mu Qin took a deep breath, slowly moving his hands and feet to let his body temperature rise, " Then I found out that Cheng Guoxu is a scumbag who serially tortured, killed and sexually abused children."
"Wait!" Mu Qin's words startled Qiu Zijia, and his hands trembled: "You said Cheng Guoxu...he...he!?"
"Ah, that's right." Mu Qin patted Qiu Zijia's arm again, signaling him to let go of the arm holding his shoulder. Then Mu Qin began to explain the ins and outs: "Some of his performances made me feel strange, and the fact that he rushed up and attacked Xu Fu so impatiently just now made me confirm this point."
When Mu Qin saw Cheng Guoxu for the first time, he felt that this man had killed someone.
Mu Qin can tell the difference. After staying in the army for so long, Mu Qin can clearly distinguish which veterans have killed people.
He has come into contact with a group of soldiers stationed at the border who have been fighting terrorists and drug dealers for a long time. These people have been on the battlefield, guarding the peace of the border, and more or less have taken their lives. After being in contact with these people for a while, Mu Qin could vaguely sense that the eyes of the murderer were different from that of ordinary people.
Mu Qin couldn't use any words to specifically describe his keen senses, but he could clearly distinguish them.
Therefore, when he saw Cheng Guoxu for the first time, he felt strange, why did Cheng Guoxu, who claimed to be just an ordinary factory worker, have such eyes
Maybe it's an illusion.
Mu Qin comforted himself in this way at the beginning, because he could not confirm that his wonderful sense was 100% correct, maybe it was due to his dazzle, or maybe it was the result of his wrong judgment. In short, Mu Qin chose to remain silent and wait. Things changed, but what happened next made Mu Qin more and more convinced that this was not his illusion. That guy named Cheng Guoxu had indeed killed someone.
The first is his behavior when he sees the dead body in the stairwell. Normal people... At least one normal person who has never been in contact with a dead body, who is not a doctor or a forensic doctor, or who has to face a dead body due to other needs, when he suddenly sees a bloody corpse of the same kind that is beyond recognition, it is normal to feel sick and feel sick. In some cases, even if it is not the first time for Cheng Guoxu to see such a bloody dead person, under normal psychological conditions, he will involuntarily look away or his eyes will wander. This is the same for both men and women.
However, Cheng Guoxu was very calm. Except that his face turned pale, he didn't have any abnormalities. Mu Qin even found him staring at the corpse for a long time.
He stared at the dead body as if he was searching for something.
After discovering this, Mu Qin began to doubt his identity as a "worker".
