Views:

In the dark rainy night, the rain continued like broken pearls, hitting Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others drop by drop.

Mu Qin endured the cold, brushed aside the weeds that were as tall as a person, and followed the darkness to look at the gate of the small church that was dimly lit not far away. He didn't see Xu Fu chasing him out of the church, maybe Xu Fu was still there. In the church, maybe he has gone out through the back door of the church... This small church has a back door, just behind the church stage.

Although Xu Fu didn't seem to chase Mu Qin and the others, it does not mean that Mu Qin is safe now. After staring at the church for a while, Mu Qin turned his head to look in other directions. There is also an office building in the apartment building. Mu Qin and others have not been to this office building before. It does not look like a big building. It is only four stories high by visual inspection. There may be clues to the exit door key inside.

The current situation is not very clear, and Mu Qin is not sure where the safe place is. Instead of pursuing the elusive sense of security, Mu Qin feels that it is better to risk the possibility of escaping, so he He pulled Qiu Zijia who was beside him, and pointed to the office building farthest to Qiu Zijia.

"Let's go there," Mouchin said. "It's a place we haven't explored yet... and the building is dark."

Mu Qin and the others had successively explored apartment buildings and chapels before. Every room they passed would turn on the lights one after another, so the rooms with lights on were the places they had already explored.

Qiu Zijia said: "But we only explored the first and second floors of the apartment building, and we haven't been to the third, fourth, and fifth floors. And we haven't been able to go up to the second floor of the chapel..."

Mu Qin turned his head and glanced at the direction of the church, and replied: "I haven't seen Xu Fu come out of the church, whether he is still in the church or not, or has gone out through the back door of the church, we should go to leave the church The furthest building."

Qiu Zijia was still very scared: "But we went to that office building, and turned on the lights in the office building during the search process. Didn't Xu Fu know we were there?"

"He will know sooner or later." Mnuchin continued, "And we can't stop searching just because he will know. We must find the key to the exit gate."

Qiu Zijia was powerless to refute Mu Qin's words. He knew that Mu Qin was right. The orphanage was such a large area. If the killer was on this side, they would bypass it and go to the other side to explore; if the killer was on the other side, they would go around Come back and continue to explore here, nothing more than hide-and-seek hide-and-seek guerrilla warfare, very simple reason.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qiu Zijia said.

After the simple action plan was finalized, Mu Qin turned around and picked up Han Li who was lying unconscious under the tree. When he was carrying it, Mu Qin felt that the woman's body was hot, so he said to Qiu Zijia; "Han Li has a fever. It's very serious, we have to bring her back with anti-fever medicine."

"Anti-fever medicine!?" Qiu Zijia seemed very nervous after hearing this. Mu Qin thought that Qiu Zijia would directly persuade him to leave Han Li behind. Running around is also quite dangerous, but the result was unexpected. After a moment of silence, Qiu Zijia actually said: "Okay, how to find it?"

"You carry her." Mu Qin didn't bother to care why he suddenly changed his mind, but decided to directly hand over Han Li on his back to Qiu Zijia.

He said to Qiu Zijia: "You carry her on your back... Walk slowly towards the office building along the courtyard wall. Because the edge area is very dark, there are trees, flower beds and weeds beside the wall. These plants can help you hide, you should It’s pretty safe. As for me, I’ll go to the infirmary in the apartment building over there, there should be some medicine in it.”

Qiu Zijia roughly understood what Mu Qin meant: "Are you saying we split up? You go get the antipyretics, and I will carry her to the direction of the office building."

"That's right, after I find the medicine, I'll meet you over there." Mu Qin said.

Qiu Zijia panicked: "What if something goes wrong on the way? What if we are found by the killer?"

"There are only two things that can go wrong. One is that I am found by the killer, and the second is that you and Han Li are found by the killer." Mu Qin lowered his voice and said seriously, "If I am found by the killer, don't worry about me. Just go straight to the office building, and I will find a way to escape. If I haven't found you for a long time, it means that I am in danger. At that time, you are willing to continue to take Han Li or abandon her, it is your wish .”

"On the contrary, if you are found by the killer, then you can throw the car to protect the handsome man, throw Han Li as an abandoned child to the killer, and then come to me, and I will protect you." Mu Qin said.

Qiu Zijia asked Mu Qin with a complicated expression, "Do you mean to let me use Han Li as a shield?"

Qiu Zijia's question made Mu Qin look sharply at Qiu Zijia for a long time, and then Mu Qin said: "Yes, she is your human shield if necessary."

"Since she is a shield, why do you take the risk to find antipyretics for her?" Qiu Zijia didn't understand. "Why not just make her a bait, such as tie her under a light, find an old radio and play music loudly around her, this posture will definitely attract the killer to eat this bait, while he takes the bait, we can Searched the office building over there without scruple, didn't you?"

Mu Qin looked at Qiu Zijia deeply: "I'm not a good person, Qiu Zijia... But I don't do bad things either. If I think I can do it, I'm willing to save people, and I'm willing to go alone for this woman Looking for antipyretics, the key is not why I do it, but you...will you do the same thing as me?"

"I won't." Qiu Zijia shook his head, "I won't take any risks for this woman, my life is the most important thing!"

After listening to Qiu Zijia's words, Mu Qin suddenly laughed. This was the first time Qiu Zijia saw an obvious smile on Mu Qin's face. Mu Qin had always looked indifferent, but this sudden smile really made Qiu Zijia A little dazed.

"It's human nature to be selfish and wise to protect oneself." Mu Qin said, "If you have survived like this before, then you will continue to live like this in the future. No one will blame you."

Qiu Zijia stopped talking, he looked at Mu Qin with a little fear and sadness, Mu Qin couldn't imagine how Qiu Zijia understood the meaning of his words, and didn't know what Qiu Zijia was thinking, Mu Qin didn't bother to pay attention .

After Mu Qin handed over the female teacher to Qiu Zijia, he gave him a "start action" gesture, and then watched Qiu Zijia slip into the grass with Han Li on his back.

Not long afterward, Mu Qin also left the grass and flower beds and walked to the stone road in the courtyard. Following the rushing rain, he walked step by step towards the brightly lit apartment building.

The apartment building was not far away, and Mu Qin walked a few steps, and soon entered the open corridor on the first floor of the apartment building. Then Mu Qin raised his head and looked around to observe the movement. He didn't hear any other sounds except the sound of rain. A piece of peace and tranquility.

So Mu Qin began to search for the location of the infirmary. The location of the infirmary on the first floor is next to the stairs of the apartment building. It is not difficult to find, because there are door numbers on the door of each room.

It's just that when Mu Qin just walked to the door of the infirmary, Mu Qin had to stop in horror.

Because he saw a lot of blood on the ground.

The fact that there was blood on the ground should not have surprised Mu Qin, because in the stairwell on the first floor of the apartment building lay the corpse that Mu Qin and others had seen before.

The dead man was stabbed in the neck. When he escaped from the courtyard to the apartment building and climbed up the stairs of the apartment, he left a lot of blood on the ground. Later, when Xu Fu came to take Han Li away, he also stepped on the blood, leaving Intricate blood footprints. Later, when Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu left the apartment building, they also stepped on these bloodstains, so they left more bloody footprints.

As a result, blood was everywhere on the stairs from the second floor to the first floor of the apartment building, and the blood stains spread to the corridor on the first floor to the outside courtyard, but now because of the rain, the blood stains in the courtyard are blurred by the rain , penetrated into the slate and soil.

But why is there blood at the door of the infirmary

Although the infirmary is next to the stairs of the apartment building, there is still a distance between them. Mu Qin was sure that when he left the apartment building with Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu, he did not wander around the door of the infirmary. In my impression, the floor of this place should be very clean.

Mu Qin carefully observed the footprints on the floor of the infirmary door. The footprints were quite fresh. At the same time, he found the direction of the footprints... The person who left the footprints seemed to have entered the infirmary. The footprints extended toward the door of the infirmary, and then Came out again, probably rummaging through the infirmary for some medication or medical supplies.

Who has been here

Now that you have come to the infirmary, it means that the other party is injured and sick and needs to find medicine. Mu Qin thought about it. Among the six people, except for Han Li, he can confirm that there are three people who have been injured. The first is the dead body lying on the stairs next door, but he is already dead. After all, Mu Qin personally detected it. heartbeat.

Next was Cheng Guoxu. Mu Qin witnessed Xu Fu cut Cheng Guoxu's neck with his own eyes, but he did not see the real death scene of Cheng Guoxu. Mu Qin speculates that Cheng Guoxu's physique is not as good as Xu Fu's, and he is not as good as the deceased on the stairs next door, so Cheng Guoxu can't escape from Xu Fu's hands at all, and it is impossible to go to this infirmary to search for medicine. thing.

In the end, it was Xu Fu. Xu Fu's leg was smashed by Mu Qin with a candle chandelier. This was also witnessed by Mu Qin. However, Mu Qin did not know exactly what kind of injury his leg was.

Xu Fu is indeed the most likely person to come to this infirmary. His leg may be injured or even broken, and he may need to be bandaged or immobilized. However, Mu Qin and Qiu Zijia squatted in the grass for a long time just now, and they didn't see anyone coming out of the church gate, so Xu Fu might have left through the back door of the church.

Turning around these messy thoughts and inferences in his mind, Mu Qin slowly squatted down, and gently pushed open the door of the infirmary. The bloody footprints at the door showed signs that the people who entered had come out again, so I am afraid that there is no one in the infirmary now. However, Mu Qin was still worried. He tried his best to covertly and quietly. He pushed open the half-hidden door of the infirmary, and looked inside for a while.

When Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia, Cheng Guoxu, and Han Li were still together, they had searched this infirmary. The infirmary was relatively spacious, the lights were on, and the things inside were also abandoned. A simple canopy bed with a mattress on it. The mattress was covered with disgusting black marks, whether it was blood or other secretions.

In addition to the canopy bed, there are rows of cabinets next to the wall, which contain some medicines and medical items. Most of the cabinets are empty, but there are still some medicines left. There are fever-reducing medicines, even if they are expired.

Seeing that there was indeed no one in the infirmary, Mu Qin stopped tiptoeing and moved quickly. He quickly rushed to the rows of cabinets and started rummaging through them. The person who left the blood at the door of the infirmary came in and looked through the cabinets and left a lot of bloody fingerprints on the cabinets.

Mu Qin followed the bloody fingerprints on the cabinets to check the cabinets. There were about five or six cabinets that were turned over by someone. The person took gauze, bandages and alcohol from the cabinets.

After noticing these, Mu Qin continued to look through other cabinets, and saw bottles and jars and boxes of various medicines inside. He didn't know what antipyretics were, so he could only read the instructions on the bottles or boxes one by one.
