Chapter 408: The Second Deceased (Big Chapter, Please Subscribe, Collect, and Vote Monthly)

After listening to He Ao's narration, Jin Ya was stunned for a moment, seeming to have fallen into some kind of downtime thinking.

After a while, she whispered,

"I don't know if what he said is correct, if he is sincere, or if he is making a false accusation. I have no way to prove that you are a good person, and I have no way to prove that you are a bad person. From a personal perspective, I am willing to believe you. .”

The meaning of this sentence is that when there is no evidence from both sides, she will tend to support He Ao.

Neutral remarks.

Of course, He Ao never thought that Jin Ya would support him unconditionally. Jin Ya obviously had her own thoughts. Although she looked dull, she was not stupid.

He Ao exchanged clues with Jin Ya again, but there was no progress. The conversation between the two stopped when Jin Ya pointed to the xiaolongbao on the table and asked He Ao, "Can I try this?"

The entire carriage maintained a constant temperature, and the time for everyone to communicate was short, but the heat on the steamed dumplings had dissipated a lot.

He Ao stretched out his hand to feel the steamed dumplings, "How about another steamed bun? This steamed bun is already a little cold."

"No, I just want to taste it. It's too much and I can't finish it."

Jinya looked at the xiaolongbao, thought for a moment, and walked towards the food pick-up port.

After a while, she came back with two forks.

She handed He Ao a fork.

"Thanks,"

He Ao casually forked a small steamed bun and put it into his mouth. The steamed bun had not completely cooled down yet and was still a little warm, so the taste had not been lost much.

As the fresh juice burst into his mouth, He Ao stared at the bright coastline outside the car window and fell into thought.

Why didn't the murderer kill anyone this time?

Why does Luo Luo believe in himself so surely?

Why did Ruoti have to jump out so fiercely?

Ruoti is the murderer?

No, this would be too showy and would attract everyone's attention. If he is really the murderer, it will be easily exposed.

But it doesn't rule out that he would do the opposite.

He Ao frowned slightly.

Why did Ruoti use props to accuse himself of being the murderer?

No, he didn't explicitly say who the murderer was. He just said that he knew who killed Passenger No. 5.

He just glanced at himself suggestively when he said this.

He Ao walked to the end of the carriage and looked at the vast bright moon outside the window through the huge picture window.

In the context at that time, the inertia of normal thinking would be to think that Ruoti was accusing He Ao of being the murderer.

But what if this sentence is not said to everyone, but to someone present?

This guy looks reckless, but he's not stupid.

But there is still no reasonable explanation for his behavior. This is equivalent to forcefully exposing himself to the murderer.

Just like Ho Ao stood up and became a thorn in the side.

But if his prop allows him to see who the murderer is, how can he guarantee that he won't die?

There's still something missing.

There must be something missing.

He Ao rubbed his eyebrows.

Light footsteps sounded behind him.

Luo Luo, who came to the dining car again, raised his head and glanced at He Ao, who was standing at the end of the dining car thinking. He slowly walked to a car window and seemed to be lost in thought.

By this time, Jinya had finished the xiaolongbao carefully and slowly. She went to the food receptacle, asked for a glass of milk, and then slowly walked back to her seat.

In the process, she happened to pass by Luo Luo.

Luo Luo turned his head and glanced at the person behind him.

Then she didn't see Jinya's cheek, her line of sight was blocked from bottom to top, and in the middle.

······

She glanced down at her toes.

She hesitated for a moment, then followed Jin Ya and sat next to Jin Ya.

"Um?"

Jin Ya looked at her doubtfully.

"You..." Luo Luo whispered, then she moved her eyes away from Jin Ya's chest and shook her head, "I forgot that you can't understand Chinese dialect."

"well···"

She sighed, holding her face and thinking.

Jin Ya looked at her doubtfully and seemed to have no reaction.

boom--

After a while, Luo Luo found a glass of milk placed in front of her. She raised her head and found Jin Ya looking at her with a smile.

Jinya raised her hand, pointed to the milk, made a gesture of holding the cup to drink water, and then pointed to her chest, showing a smile.

······

This woman guessed what she just wanted to say!

Luo Luo's face turned red, but she still held the milk cup carefully.

“Is it really effective?”

She doesn't like drinking milk.

But he still picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

As time passed, Jin Ya and Luo Luo finally returned to the compartment.

He Ao was the only one left in the entire huge dining car.

He turned to stare at the empty milk glass.

Perhaps someone had died just passing through the tunnel.

The piercing alarm sounded suddenly. He Ao gathered his mood and slowly walked to the compartment car.

······

Bang bang——

There was an extremely slight knock on the door.

Ruoti slowly opened the compartment door, only to find that there was nothing outside. He looked down and saw a carefully folded white object lying quietly in front of his door.

He bent down, picked up the item, and opened it layer by layer. There was a slender piece of paper inside, with bright red printed text revealed.

······

He Ao crossed the connecting door and walked back to the compartment. When he came back, he happened to see Ruoti slowly closing the compartment door.

The two looked at each other, Ruoti gave him a provocative smile, and then closed the compartment door.

And He Ao's eyes were always focused on Ruoti's hand. Ruoti's other hand, which was not holding the compartment door, seemed to be holding something tightly. The thing was only slightly exposed, like some kind of white fabric. a part of.

Soon, the door of compartment No. 1 was closed, leaving He Ao with only an empty corridor.

He Ao opened the door of his cubicle and returned to the cubicle.

As he slowly closed the compartment door, darkness enveloped everything again.

Click-click-

The second hand of the countdown clock moves little by little.

——

He Ao, who was far away in Xidu, sat up from the bed and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window.

He picked up his phone and opened the institute's software. Yang De had just sent him a message,

[The Velora's next stop is in the Western Territory. I just got the news that World Tree sent two C-levels to intercept the car. Are you free now? ]

World Tree is an extraordinary organization jointly organized by several powerful countries in the Western Territory and some small countries.

He Ao glanced at the time, five o'clock in the morning.

If his doppelganger hadn't been on the Velora, he would have been sleeping right now.

Does Yang De, a workaholic, not consider the time difference in the country?

He thought for a moment and replied with a message,

[Is the plan confirmed? ]

[You woke up so early? The plan is basically confirmed. Can you get to West Lanka before 12 noon, Central-Earth time? You can buy tickets through the institute's channels. There seems to be a flight from Xidu to Wislanka at 8 o'clock, which takes three and a half hours. ]

The response there was almost seconds.

Wislanka...

He Ao picked up his phone and searched. This is the capital of the Republic of Vis, a neighboring country to the west of China.

This country is not rich, and Wislanka does not have any famous historical events or attractions. It is the kind of place with very low visibility.

There is indeed a flight from Xidu to Wislanka. There is only one flight a day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, the Republic of Vis provides visa-free access to China and Turkey, so you can fly there directly with your passport.

He Ao calculated that it would take about twenty minutes to take the airport expressway from home to the airport, and he would arrive at the airport an hour early, which meant he could sleep for another hour.

He first replied to Yang De, and then contacted the staff of the institute and asked them to buy him a ticket to Wislanka.

Although he can also advance money to buy it himself, this is absolutely impossible. There are reimbursement channels for this kind of business trip, that is, through reimbursement channels, it is absolutely impossible to advance money.

It is easy to advance money but difficult to reimburse.

The air ticket from Xidu to West Lanka is almost 6,000 yuan.

Some of the cheaper Class C wanted criminals are not worth 6,000 yuan, so it’s not easy to make money.

In short,

He Ao lay down on the bed,

Before going to work, take a nap.

——

Click——

Time passed minute by minute, and when the countdown reached the last hour, a soft sound sounded at the end of the corridor.

The door of cubicle No. 1 was slowly opened, and a thin man with a pale face walked out of the cubicle.

There was some surprised joy on his face, as if he didn't expect that he actually opened the compartment door.

He looked towards the corridor, which was without a trace of light.

The dark corridor squirmed slowly, like a giant worm squirming in the void.

Ruoti took a deep breath, slowly walked out of the compartment and stepped onto the corridor.

The corridor was pitch dark. He picked up his phone, which was almost out of battery, turned on the flashlight, and walked forward with the faint light of the flashlight.

He held tightly in his hand the thing he had picked up in front of the door.

The moment he stepped on the corridor and took the first step, the entire corridor vibrated silently and violently.

Immediately afterwards, a dark spherical object fell from the roof of the car. It seemed to be a head hanging on the roof of the car.

The head circled around Ruoti, seeming to smell Ruoti's scent.

Ruoti's already pale cheeks became even paler now. He trembled, took a deep breath, and continued to move forward as if he had made a strong determination.

The dark head circled around him. At this time, Ruoti vaguely heard laughter coming one after another.

These laughters were so loud and violent, but Ruoti's body reminded him that the surroundings were quiet and there was nothing.

He walked forward carefully step by step. Gradually, the twisting movement of the car roof stopped, and the harsh laughter gradually disappeared.

These terrifying strangeness did not attack him, even the crawling corridor became quiet, and the head following him had disappeared.

It seemed like nothing had happened just now, it was just the illusion of the walker walking in the corridor.

His body passed through the compartment doors one after another, passed through the connection between the two carriages, and entered the empty dining car.

The dining car that originally had the best lighting was now shrouded in countless darkness.

In this silent darkness, there seemed to be shadows communicating, discussing, and whispering in the dining car.

The entire dining car is as noisy as a morning market.

The moment Ruoti stepped into the dining car, all the noise fell silent.

The black figures fell silent.

If Ruoti raised the phone in his hand, the light of the flashlight shone in front of him.

Wherever the light shines, there is emptiness.

There was only the silence of the empty dining table, which seemed to tell Ruoti, ‘There is nothing here’.

And when Ruoti put down the flashlight, there would be a series of 'looks' in the silent darkness.

Ruoti felt that those dark shadows had been watching him.

And, they are ‘laughing’.

He took courage and took a step forward.

Nothing happens.

Those dark shadows won't attack him.

He was stunned for a moment, joy appeared on his face, and then he couldn't help laughing.

He guessed correctly, that person didn't lie to him.

He opened his hand, revealing the white fabric he was holding tightly in his hand. Within the fabric, there was a blood-red note with Chinese characters written on it,

[I Know Your Identity, Hour Three, Hold This, Go to the Dining Car]

The note was written with ink that looked like blood.

With this thing, he can naturally walk in the train when darkness falls.

He turned on a flashlight and searched carefully in the dining car.

There should be clues left by the other party here.

Ruoti passed one dining table after another, and finally found another white folded item next to the steamer where he had left the leftovers.

He walked over, put the flashlight of his mobile phone upward on the table, picked up the object and slowly opened it. There was still only a piece of paper inside, written in bright red fonts.

[look behind you]

As the note was opened, the color of the writing on it quickly became lighter as if a magician had cast a spell.

Ruoti didn't notice that the writing on the other piece of paper in his hand was also quickly becoming lighter.

He unfolded the fabric in his hands and slowly turned his head.

Not far behind him, a dark figure stood vaguely, and this figure was approaching him step by step.

He couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, so he turned his head and reached out to pick up the mobile phone on the table.

And in this short period of time, the black shadow was already behind him.

He picked up the phone and turned around. The light of the phone's flashlight illuminated the face of the person behind him.

At this moment, he looked shocked,

"why you?"

"Oh it's you."

The black shadow showed a smile, and a cold voice came from his mouth.

The sharp knife pierced Ruoti's heart. His mouth was tightly covered, making him unable to make a sound. Endless darkness surged towards him and took away his life.

All the expressions were fixed in that last moment.

His body was slowly put down, and the shiny mobile phone was crushed by a foot.

Darkness once again enveloped the space.

In this endless darkness, a pair of hands slowly picked up the fabric that fell on the ground.

The blank note fell into a pool of blood as the fabric shook.

——

The final countdown reached zero, and bright sunlight poured into the small compartment through the car window.

"Ah...I owe..."

He Ao, who was leaning against the wall, yawned and slowly sat up from the bed.

This time when he passed through the tunnel, the murderer didn't look for him.

He put his hand on the door handle, slowly turned it, and the thin compartment door was slowly opened.

Outside the car window is an ancient city full of Western style. The car seems to be driving on an inaccessible mountain. From this perspective, the entire ancient city can be overlooked.

The city looks like some tourist attraction.

It's a pity that He Ao has never had the money to go abroad before, nor has he understood this.

But he knew the name of this place, Veronica, located in the Republic of Situaroa.

According to the information given by Yang De, this car should appear here at this time.

"Wow, it's the city of princesses."

An exclamation came from beside him, and Lin Chichi rushed out of the cubicle excitedly, looking at the ancient city outside the window, "I have only seen this city on TV before."

He Ao took a look at the city outside. It was very well built, very retro, and very beautiful in appearance, but it was obvious that many places were too new and too clean.

Conclusion: a modern man-made attraction.

He glanced to the left, Lin Chichi came out, Luo Luo also came out, and then glanced to the right, Jin Ya came out, and at this moment he was also attracted by the city outside the window.

If mentioned, it didn't come out.

······

Unexpected and reasonable.

At this moment, He Ao felt that some of the things that had been blocked in his mind were being solved.

Although new doubts arose, he had already found the thread in the chaotic thread.

He walked over and knocked on the door of cubicle No. 1, but there was no response.

At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted to him.

Neither does the small space behind cubicle number one.

Then there is only one place.

He walked to the dining car.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

I overestimated myself, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Plus, Kevin, emmm, I won’t set the flag casually in the future.
