The evening wind in early summer blows in the face, making people feel refreshed, so when seven or eight young people walked out of a small bungalow, they all naturally took a deep breath.
The seven or eight young people were obviously college students, each of them had a thick book under their shoulders, walked lightly, laughed, and kept vying to speak, except for one tall and thin girl, who Full of contemplation, walking with other people, appearing very stable.This girl is Anne.And the other young people are her classmates.
At this time, the two young men beside Annie jumped and turned around, pointing to the small bungalow they had just left, and said, "The professor is really weird. You see, the place where he lives is 500 kilometers away." There is no other house within 100 feet!"
The other laughed and said, "So single professors are all weirdos. This is a common plot in novels or movies. They all have eccentricities, and they have the ambition to control all mankind!"
At this point, he made a strange face at Annie and said, "Is that right, Annie?"
Annie hated the frivolity of young people the most, so she was noncommittal about this question.The young man didn't know what to do, so he leaned over again and said, "Perhaps we should invite the heroine Mulanhua to check it out and see why Professor Huang's life is so weird!"
Annie said coldly: "If you have any brains, you shouldn't say such childish words!"
The young man hit a nail, stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Like her classmates, Annie's destination is a bus stop about 800 meters away from the house they just came out of. Every Wednesday, these seven or eight college students come to Professor Huang's residence for classes. Moreover, the time has been determined, and he can catch the last bus to go back to the city.
Professor Huang Yihe is a famous scholar. The topics he researches are directly related to almost everyone.He is an authority on the study of neural activity in the brain.Anne chose a variety of subjects in college, and she was interested in almost everything, so she also chose the courses taught by Professor Huang Yihe.
From Professor Huang's residence to the station, you have to turn a small hill.Just as the group of young people turned around the hill, the last bus had already arrived. Everyone shouted, rushed forward, and got on the bus.There were only a few passengers in the car chatting with each other, but when the seven or eight people got on the car, they immediately became lively.The bus driver greeted them with a smile, and the bus continued to drive forward, but after less than a hundred yards, someone in the bus suddenly yelled, "Look, there's a fire over there!" Everyone looked in the direction where the fire came out. Although the fire came out from behind the small hill, it seemed that the fire was very intense and the flames were flying wildly.
And the place where the flames burst out, there is no other house at all, only Huang Yihe's house is there!
Annie stood up abruptly and shouted, "Stop!"
The bus stopped immediately, Annie opened the door, jumped down, and several young people followed her, Annie got off the bus, and ran forward, one after the other, turning her head and shouting: "Go to the police!" !"
The driver agreed, drove the car, and sped forward.Annie ran forward, and with her were three of her male classmates.As Annie ran forward, she hoped that it was the woods next to the house that were on fire.However, when she turned around the small hill and saw the situation in front of her, she and the three classmates were stunned!
The house of Professor Huang Yihe was almost completely surrounded by flames!In the gentle evening wind, the flames are like the tongues of thousands of ferocious beasts, wantonly licking. Wherever the tongues of flames lick, everything is quickly reduced to ashes.After staying for a while, the first question that came to Annie's mind was: They had been away for less than five minutes, and the fire was already so fierce. What could have caused such a big fire in such a short period of time?
But Anne had no time to ponder the question further.The house was surrounded by fire, and there was no one else around the house. Annie and her classmates immediately thought of the safety of Professor Huang, and they shouted together: "Professor!"
While shouting, the four of them rushed forward at a very high speed, and when they were sixty meters away from the burning house, the heat wave of the flames was already approaching, Annie rushed forward desperately, but She took a step forward when she was abruptly pulled back by two male classmates.A classmate was startled and anxious, and shouted: "What do you want to do?"
Annie said anxiously: "Professor! The professor must still be in the room!"
The classmate looked bitter, and said: "Yes, what can I do, the fire is so fierce that no one can enter the fire!"
Annie said anxiously: "We should always think of a way, so we can't just watch the professor burn to death in the house!"
She screamed and broke away from the two classmates, but she didn't run forward, because she also saw clearly at this time that the fire was so fierce that even if she rushed into the house desperately, she would have no chance Save people.The only result was that even she was buried in the fire!
Annie ran around the house. She wanted to find a place where the fire was relatively weak, and see if there was a chance to enter the house to save people.But when she returned to her original place, she was completely disappointed!
The whole house was surrounded by raging flames, and the flames became more and more fierce. When she ran back, the flames made her face flushed with sweat, and the three male students stared at the burning house dumbfounded. The heat wave is pressing, and today people can hardly breathe.
Then, while they were standing still, there was a loud bang, and the roof of the house collapsed, and flames and ashes with sparks rose up into the air.Then, the siren of the fire truck came from afar and approached quickly.
When Anne got home, it was already three in the morning. She has been staying near the fire scene. As soon as the fire engine and police car arrived, she used the communication device on the police car to contact Mulanhua and told Mulanhua that she would come back later. By the time the fire engines came and hooked up the hoses at the nearest water source, there was little work left to do.Because the whole house has been burned down.The fire naturally weakened. A senior fire officer frowned after asking Anne and her three classmates about the fire they had seen.Annie asked: "We have only been out of this house for five minutes. Why did the fire become so violent so quickly?" The fire officer still frowned and said, "Only by arson!" He said this sentence.After a short pause, he repeated: "There is only arson, and it must be the masterpiece of an arson expert!" Annie took a breath, but didn't make another sound, feeling even more puzzled in her heart. Half an hour later, the fire was completely brought under control, thick smoke rose one after another, a large amount of water was sprayed on it, and even the thick smoke was gradually extinguished.Firefighters began digging into the fire. Annie still had hope in case Huang Yihe was not in the room.Although Professor Huang was not an approachable or amiable person, Anne had a great deal of respect for him. After another hour, Anne's hopes were dashed!She heard the firefighters in the fire scene shouting: "The body is found! There is only one!" Then, several firefighters carried stretchers into the fire scene. Annie wanted to follow, but was discouraged by the fire officer.She saw the body come out on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth.When the stretcher passed in front of her, Annie lifted the white cloth and took a look. The corpse was no longer a corpse, but just a charred black mass, which looked more like a piece of burnt wood!It was hard for Anne to imagine that such an ugly, scorched corpse, just two hours ago, Professor Huang was explaining to them the relationship between brain skin cell activity and memory in a low tone! Anne's heart was heavy, and she slowly walked a few steps away, standing still, until a police officer asked her if she was going to leave, and she nodded. The police officers also closed the team, and Anne returned home in a police car.When she walked into the living room, unexpectedly, Magnolia was still awake and was reading a book in an easy chair. As soon as Magnolia saw Annie, she put down the book in her hand. Annie glanced at the cover of the book. It was "Discussion on the Endocrine of the Memory System", which was the work of Professor Huang Yihe. Without waiting for Annie to speak, Magnolia said, "I'm sorry, but I looked for this book on your bookshelf to read without your permission." Annie waved her hand. The relationship between her and Mulanhua and Mu Xiuzhen was like that of sisters. Of course, she wouldn't mind these little things.She just felt that she had a lot to say to Magnolia, but she didn't know how to say it.At this moment, Magnolia said again: "This is a strange fire!" This is exactly what Annie wanted to say. Starting with Mulanhua, Annie hurriedly told Mulanhua what happened. Magnolia listened attentively, and then said: "Didn't you notice anything unusual about Professor Huang when he was in class?" Annie said: "I've thought about this a long time ago, no. Professor Huang has always been like that, except for what is related to the course, he doesn't say much." Magnolia asked again: "Has he always lived alone?" Annie said: "I think so, I have been to his residence more than ten times, and I have never seen anyone other than him. He is very withdrawn, as if no one in this city is worthy to talk to him! " Magnolia raised her eyebrows and made a questioning expression. Anne added: "I mean, Professor Huang has close contacts with scientists from all over the world, and he often receives letters from all over the world." Magnolia sighed, and said: "What a pity, such a giant in the scientific world died in an unknown fire!" She stood up, stretched her waist, and said: "It's getting late, go to sleep!" With a heavy heart, Annie walked slowly towards the stairs. She was only halfway there when the phone rang. Magnolia picked up the phone and said, "Of course Director Gao is asleep. What time is it now? Oh, it's Doctor Wang. What? Well, I'll wake him up and tell him to come right away!" Magnolia put down the phone, Annie turned her head and looked at her suspiciously.Magnolia quickly walked towards the stairs and said, "It's a call from the forensic officer. He said that Huang Jiaotong's body is very suspicious to him, and he wants to ask Gao Xiang to go there once." Annie was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Suspicious, what do you mean?" When she said this, she immediately thought of the scorched and terrifying corpse. Magnolia spread her hands, indicating that the forensic officer did not say anything suspicious, and continued to walk towards the stairs.Anne just sat down on the stairs, biting her nails. Three minutes later, Gao Xiang hurried down from upstairs.When Annie saw Gao Xiang, she quickly stood up and said, "I'm going too!" Magnolia obviously told Gao Xiang the simple story of the matter, so Gao Xiang said: "What's so interesting about people who were burned to death." Annie followed Gao Xiang down the stairs and said, "The one burned to death is Professor Huang. Before he died, I was one of the last people to see him!" Gao Xiang kept walking, and Annie followed until he got to the car. Gao Xiang opened the door and said, "Annie, the corpse is horrible and disgusting. There is really nothing to see!" Annie said stubbornly, "I've already seen it!" Gao Xiang shook his head and said: "When you saw it, the corpse was lifted from the fire, it was just a mass of charred black, but now it has arrived in the dissection room of the mortuary, it must have undergone a certain degree of treatment, the burnt flesh fell off, May see bones—” When Gao Xiang said this, Annie couldn't help feeling a chill, but she still insisted, saying: "I'm going! This fire is very strange, and I have decided to find out the cause of the fire!" Gao Xiang knew that he couldn't win Annie any more, so he spread his hands, let Annie get in the car, and then drove straight to the mortuary.When Gao Xiang and Annie got out of the car, they saw the forensic doctor rubbing his hands and walking back and forth, looking very anxious.As soon as he saw Gao Xiang, he immediately came up to him and said, "Director Gao, if it wasn't too bizarre, I wouldn't have woken you up!" Gao Xiang made a gesture of "It doesn't matter", the forensic officer led Gao Xiang forward, Annie followed, until he reached the door of the dissection room, the forensic officer turned around and said: "The body was burnt to pieces , Miss Anne, will you wait outside the door?" Annie said firmly: "No!" The forensic doctor didn't say anything else, and pushed open the door, and the smell of formaldehyde came in. The three of them came to the dissection table. The forensic doctor glanced at Anne again, and then lifted the white cloth covering the dissection table. The forensic doctor only lifted the white cloth a little, and he could see the head of the corpse. When Annie saw it, her heart jumped wildly.Indeed, the situation was the same as what Gao Xiang said, the corpse had undergone preliminary treatment, and it was no longer a scorched mass, but looked more terrifying. The burned muscles have all been removed, and there are not many left, but they are still attached to the skull, and the entire skull is almost in front of the eyes. That kind of scene really makes me never want to see it again. Take a second look! However, Annie only shook her body slightly, and did not turn her head away.She struggled to control her concussions, and she was extremely successful.Because from the outside, she is completely nonchalant. Moreover, Annie also immediately saw the reason why the forensic doctor invited Gao Xiang to come.The forensic doctor was pointing at the skull of the corpse and said, "Director Gao, look!" Gao Xiang naturally also saw that there were obvious cracks and a hole on the skull of the corpse.That hole, based on Gao Xiang's experience, was immediately certain that it was the result of a bullet! Annie also yelled, and said, "Professor Huang was shot!" But the forensic doctor shook his head and said: "No, he was burned to death, but the bullet has been there for a long time. Judging from the traces of skull growth, it was at least three years ago! And—" When he said this, he lifted the white cloth again, and there was only half of the corpse's arm left, the internal organs had been removed, there was a big hole in the chest, and the spine could be seen. On the spine, there was an obvious one, about the size of a golf ball. Ball-sized connective tissue. Gao Xiang said "Oh": "His spine was also injured!" The forensic doctor said: "Yes, and it is very serious. I bet that if the cartilage is cut open, there must be a bullet inside!" Gao Xiang was full of doubts in his heart, and looked at Annie.Annie already knew what Gao Xiang wanted to ask her, and before Gao Xiang could speak, she said, "It can't be Professor Huang. Professor Huang's body is very healthy. I don't think a person who has been shot in the brain and spine can still be a healthy person." people!" The forensic doctor said loudly: "Of course not a healthy person. It can even be said that he was able to survive the shooting. It is already a miracle. This person's spine is injured, so he can't move, his brain is injured, and he can't even think. , can’t speak, just a living dead!” Gao Xiang was stunned for a while, then covered the white cloth, and said, “He’s not Professor Huang Yihe, but another one?” The forensic doctor said: "If Professor Huang is a healthy person, then I can be sure he is not!" Annie said: "But it is still buried in the fire. The strange thing is that Professor Huang is the only one in that room. My classmates and I can almost confirm this! I have never heard him mention that anyone lives with him." !" Gao Xiang shook his head. In a house, even a small one, it is very easy to hide someone without being known by the students who go to class once a week.Annie said that Professor Huang has been living alone, which is obviously unreliable. And at that moment, he had already made a decision, he asked: "Is there any way to identify the identity of the deceased?" The forensic doctor said: "The fingerprints are absolutely gone, and all the teeth are still there. We can also roughly restore his original appearance based on the structure of his bones. I can now conclude that this corpse belongs to a person. Caucasian, about forty to forty-five years old!" Anne murmured: "Caucasian!" A strange and inexplicable expression appeared on her face, because things were getting more and more incredible! Gao Xiang said: "Okay! I will send someone to assist you, and we will find out the identity of this corpse as soon as possible!" He turned to Anne: "It's too late now. I'll give an order tomorrow morning to go to the disaster site for excavation. Professor Huang's body must still be at the scene of the fire and not be excavated!" Annie bit her lower lip and nodded.Gao Xiang went home with her. On the way, Gao Xiang smiled and said, "Annie, don't overcomplicate things. There are many reasons for inexplicable fires, and Professor Huang may not live alone. When we find Professor Huang's Corpse. Once we found out the identity of that corpse, things couldn't be easier!" Annie stayed for a while, before suddenly asking Gao Xiang a childish question, "What if the identity of this corpse can't be found out?" Gao Xiang chuckled, and said, "How could that be? A dead person is a living person before he dies. Living people living in this society must have various records. Moreover, this person has suffered serious gunshot wounds. Caucasians, the range is not wide, and they will definitely be found out soon.” Annie still insisted on her childish question, and said, "What if, I said, if it can't be found out?" Gao Xiang yawned and said, "Then, in the police file, he is an unknown corpse."
Gao Xiang thought Annie's question was childish and impossible.But after a week, when the binder about the body was still marked "Unknown Body," he no longer felt that Annie's question was pointless. During this week, in order to find out the identity of this unknown corpse, Gao Xiang ordered three experienced police officers to exhaust all methods.The police officers took the tooth prints of the corpse and handed them over to the city dentist for verification. They searched all disappearance records, and searched all the treatment records of the patients who had been shot in the hospital, but there was no result. The forensic doctor and painter also drew a picture based on the skeleton structure of the corpse.The drawing showed that the deceased was a middle-aged Caucasian man with a height of six feet and a rather dignified appearance.The portraits were distributed to every concerned police officer, and appeared in newspapers and on TV through public media.Considering that the corpse was not necessarily a long-term resident of the city before his death, he checked the entry records. But all the efforts were in vain. This corpse is always an "nameless corpse", as if there is no such person in the world. This is really unimaginable. Without such a person, how can such a corpse come about? Just as inconceivable as not being able to find the origin of this unknown corpse is that after three consecutive thorough excavations, no other corpses were found in the fire scene, not even ashes.If Professor Huang Yihe was buried in a sea of flames, there must be some remaining body parts found, but they didn't.If Professor Huang Yihe was not burned to death, where is he?Although the police have repeatedly appealed to contact the police, there is no news at all, as if he suddenly disappeared in the air! The thing is really weird, a nameless corpse that came from nowhere, a disappeared person who should have died in the fire and was found!
One afternoon a week later. During this week, especially in the last few days, Annie wanted to hear Mulanhua's opinion many times, but Magnolia seemed very busy, she often went out, and no one knew where she was. Annie didn't even have the chance to ask. nothing.A few times, Annie had a chance, but Magnolia seemed to have no interest in this matter at all. As soon as Annie mentioned it, she diverted it with other words, making Annie lose the point. That morning, Mu Xiuzhen came.Before Mu Xiuzhen entered the living room, her yelling had already come in, saying, "Sister Lanhua, the nameless corpse, do you have a clue?" Magnolia was tuning the piano, without raising her head, she said, "An unknown corpse is an unknown corpse, why add a strange word?" Mu Xiuzhen had already walked in, and Annie also rushed downstairs when she heard Mu Xiuzhen's voice.Mu Xiuzhen felt that the boss was not convinced by Mulanhua's words, and said: "Why not blame? Who is the deceased? Why it seems easy to find out his identity, but can't find out?" Annie looked at Magnolia, waiting for her answer.Magnolia straightened her body, tapped her fingers on the keys a few times, as if she was satisfied with the sound of the piano, and then said calmly: "If you can't find out for a while, you will eventually find out." Mu Xiuzhen said: "It's been a week, and if we still can't find out, that's weird enough!" Magnolia laughed, and Annie said, "Also. Where's Professor Huang? Whether it's life or death, what happened to him?" Mulanhua sat down, looked at Annie, then at Mu Xiuzhen and said, "It must have been a long time since you wanted to ask my opinion on this matter, right?" Annie and Mu Xiuzhen both nodded.Magnolia moved her body, motioned for Annie to sit on her body, and said, "Okay, I will express my intention. But first I need to know Annie, what kind of work have you done within this week?" Annie said: "I spent a lot of time investigating Professor Huang's life—no, investigating his life." Magnolia said: "What's the conclusion?" Annie said: "The conclusion is that Professor Huang doesn't interact with anyone at all, except for his job needs, he doesn't even say a word, and he lives alone, his house is far away from where other people live Although it is far away, he must pass a main road to get in and out, and there are many people living along the road, and no one has ever seen him go in and out with other people!" Magnolia said "Oh", "Have you ever met a man named Wang Aqiao?" Annie was stunned for a while, and said: "Wang Aqiao, who is that? Why should I go to see him?" Magnolia said: "Wang Aqiao is a carpenter, you should go see him. Because six months before the fire, Wang Aqiao made some changes in the professor's room. In his bedroom, A small room was separated, and I believe that from then on, the professor did not live alone." Annie opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Magnolia stroked her hair comfortingly, and said, "Don't blame yourself for being careless. In fact, because you have been to his residence more than a dozen times, you have ancestors, and you think he must I live alone. I don’t think so. The fire is so fierce. No one will rush into the fire to die after the fire. The body can be sure to be in the house. I don’t want to check it out. , and found out that Wang Aqiao had remodeled the professor's room!" Annie gave a wry smile, and said politely: "The subjectivity of the ancestors is the greatest enemy of reasoning!" Mu Xiuzhen put her hands on her cheeks, opened her eyes, listened with great interest, and said, "Then, who is this person?" Magnolia said: "I don't know, but Professor Huang must know. Instead of playing hide-and-seek with the identity of the corpse, it is much better to find Professor Huang's whereabouts." Annie said: "You are sure that Professor Huang was not burned to death!" Magnolia said: "Of course, I believe you have also studied the report of the fire department. The fire was caused by a sudden leakage of electricity. Someone once poured gasoline on the house to help the fire burn. Annie, five minutes after you left that night, the fire broke out. It has already become very violent, we can see that Professor Huang is well prepared, as soon as you leave, he will start to act—” When Magnolia spoke up to this point, Annie yelled suddenly, "Wait a minute, Miss Lanhua. You said Professor Huang set the fire?" Magnolia said calmly, "There are only two people in the room. One was burned to death and the other disappeared. Who do you think set the fire?" Annie said: "The person who set the fire may also be the person who was burned to death!" Magnolia took a breath and said: "The body shows that this person had suffered serious gunshot wounds at least three years ago, and he couldn't move at all. Before he was burned to death, it is true that he was still alive, but in fact a The corpse is not much different." Annie stopped making a sound and pursed her lips tightly.Mu Xiuzhen waved her hand and said, "Why would an internationally renowned scientific authority set fire to kill a living dead?" Magnolia shook her head and said, "Of course you have to ask him!" Annie jumped up and said, "You're not going to blame Professor Huang, you already have a clue?" Magnolia laughed and said, "You're half right, because there are only a few clues. I'm sure that if Professor Huang is still in this city, he will definitely appear somewhere." Both Annie and Mu Xiuzhen opened their eyes wide, and Mulan said, "That's the result of my hard work for a week. Annie, you must know that Professor Huang has a preference for the food in an Italian food restaurant?" Annie said: "Yes, he likes to eat the cheese baked spaghetti there. He goes there almost once a week." Magnolia said: "It's not almost once a week, but definitely once a week. Last night, I waited for him to appear in that restaurant. People's habits are hard to change, especially scientists, life has certain rules .” Annie stretched out her hand and hit her on the head, and said, "How did I think...you...saw him?" Magnolia said: "I shouldn't go by myself. Last night, from 7:30 to 9:30, there were eleven people in this restaurant who ordered pasta with cheese baked, but I couldn't identify which one. It was Professor Huang who came. I was just suspicious of one of the middle-aged men who was evasive, and when he left, I followed him, but soon there was no trace of him." Annie asked suspiciously, "Has he undergone plastic surgery?" Mulan said: "If this middle-aged man is him, then it's not plastic surgery, it's just a delicate makeup. We can wait another week. As long as Professor Huang is still in this city, he will definitely go again." Another week passed, and the situation was no different from last week.The police file still says "unnamed corpse", and Professor Huang Yihe still hasn't shown up to contact the police. At seven o'clock that night, Magnolia arrived at the Italian restaurant.She disguised herself as a middle-aged woman.And Annie, dressed as a boy, was standing against the wall on the street corner outside the restaurant, holding a coin in her hand and tossing it up and down. She seemed to be an idle hooligan.Mu Xiuzhen was in a car parked at the corner of the street. When the three of them set off, Mu Xiuzhen said proudly: "The three of us are going out to follow a person. Unless this person knows how to hide, we can definitely go to the sky with him..." What Mu Xiuzhen said was not a boast. Considering the abilities of the three of them, it was really easy to follow a person. At eight o'clock, Annie first spotted the middle-aged man Magnolia had described and was walking towards the restaurant. The middle-aged man stopped not far from the entrance of the restaurant, then opened the door and walked in. Annie had carefully sized up the middle-aged man with her sharp eyes in less than a minute, trying to find the familiar appearance of Professor Huang Yihe in that middle-aged man, but when After the middle-aged man walked into the restaurant, she was still not sure of the middle-aged man's identity. That middle-aged man didn't look like Professor Huang at all, not at all.Was it not the result of the most ingenious art of disguise?If that middle-aged man is not Professor Huang, why does he come to this restaurant once a week, and also order Professor Huang's favorite baked spaghetti cheese? When Annie was full of doubts, Magnolia in the restaurant also saw the middle-aged man. He walked in and sat down on the same seat as last week. Magnolia didn't even look at the middle-aged man, but in fact, all her attention was focused on the middle-aged man.She saw that the middle-aged man sat down, stretched his waist, and asked a waiter loudly for his food, which was pasta with cheese baked. Then, he suddenly turned his head and smiled at Magnolia . This action of the middle-aged man made Mulanhua startled suddenly.Judging from the weirdness in the middle-aged man's smile, Mulan knew something was wrong, Guan Chi.At least she can be sure that the other party already knows her identity. However, Mulanhua's shrewdness, she couldn't figure out why her identity would be exposed in an instant. Although she was surprised in her heart: but on the surface, she was calm, indifferent and expressionless, as if she didn't see the middle-aged man at all. The man gave her a weird smile. However, what happened next made Mulan even more embarrassed. After a smile, the middle-aged man stood up, walked towards Mulan, came to Mulan's table, and bent down. Although Mulanhua was good at responding to the situation, she didn't know what to do in such a situation, so she could only pretend to be puzzled and stared at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man smiled at Mulan again, with an even weirder expression. Magnolia took a deep breath, the other party has recognized her, there is no doubt about it, who is the other party?Is it Professor Huang Yihe's disguise?or another person? When Mulanhua was thinking quickly, the middle-aged man straightened up suddenly and laughed abruptly. His laughter was so loud that it was like a burst of laughter!
Anne who was outside the restaurant door couldn't hear the loud laughter of the middle-aged man.Anne only heard the sound of car horns coming again and again.Annie knew that it was from Mu Xiuzhen. Mu Xiuzhen was impatient, so she must have been impatient to wait. Annie thought for a while, then hurried to the corner of the street. Mu Xiuzhen was in the car, and when she saw Annie walking towards her, she also opened the door and walked out, with an impatient look on her face.Annie hurriedly said, "The person Sister Lanhua mentioned has already entered the restaurant!" Mu Xiuzhen waved her hand, made a gesture, and said, "Just get him out, why bother..." When she said this, she pointed to the door of the restaurant about fifty meters away from where they were standing.At this moment, Mu Xiuzhen's fingers were like those of a magician. Following her finger, a loud "boom" came from the dining room. It was a rather violent explosion. , The glass at the entrance of the restaurant immediately shattered, and several passers-by were immediately injured by the broken glass.And the passers-by nearby suddenly became chaotic. It was as if a stone slab was lifted suddenly, alarming a group of ants living under the stone slab. , Passers-by in the distance rushed over to watch the excitement, and all the chaos happened in less than five minutes. The reactions of Mu Xiuzhen and Annie were faster than those on the road. As soon as there was a loud bang, Mu Xiuzhen didn't even have time to withdraw her outstretched hand, so she yelled and rushed forward, and Annie also rushed forward. Busy behind her.They didn't know what happened, only that there was an explosion and Magnolia was in that restaurant. When they were running forward, a large number of frightened passers-by were rushing out. Mu Xiuzhen pushed away a few passers-by and rushed forward. Annie followed her closely. When she came to the door of the dining room , a large cloud of thick smoke has poured out from the dining room. The thick smoke pouring out of the restaurant not only makes people cough violently, but also makes it impossible to see anything.Annie had already pulled out a handkerchief, but Mu Xiuzhen just held her breath, and jumped into the thick smoke, trying to see the surroundings clearly, but couldn't see anything I realized that not only could I not see anything, but the thick smoke made my eyes extremely painful, and tears rolled down involuntarily. Mu Xiuzhen yelled, "Sister Lanhua!" As soon as she opened her mouth, thick smoke poured into her throat again, causing her to cough violently.At this moment, she felt someone bumping into her side.Although she was surrounded by thick smoke, Mu Xiuzhen's reaction.Still very sensitive, she leaned over and reached out to grab the person who bumped into her. One characteristic of oriental martial arts is that it has extremely deep research on the weak parts of the human body.Even in the situation where the eyes cannot see, as long as the opponent is not unusually tall or short, a person who has studied oriental martial arts well can catch the enemy's vital point with a single shot.At this time, Mu Xiuzhen casually grabbed with her backhand and moved her five fingers, and she had already grabbed the soft flesh of a person's waist. Mu Xiuzhen shrank the back of her hands, and grabbed the person she was holding close to her. She tried her best to open her eyes and looked at the person. She couldn't help being stunned for a moment. , she even thought that what she caught was a monster from space. But that strange feeling only happened in a very short period of time, even though when Mu Xiuzhen immediately saw that what she caught was not some space monster, but just a person wearing a gas mask, she felt even more excited. Surprised, but her movements were not slow at all. She reached out with her left hand and grabbed the man's gas mask again. Then she raised her right knee and hit the man's abdomen heavily, and the man let out a scream ，向后直跌了出去，烟是如此浓密，那人才一向后仰倒，穆秀珍就已经看不到他了，而那人的防毒面具，也已经到穆秀珍的手中。 穆秀珍连一刻也不耽搁，立时将防毒面具戴上，同时深深吸进了一口气。她的双眼之中，泪水仍然在不断涌出来，但至少她已经可以睁开眼来。 就在她才一戴上防毒面具之际，又有一个人迎面急奔过来，那人直到来到邓穆秀珍的身前，才陡地站定，向穆秀珍作了一个手势。 穆秀珍不知道那人的手势是什么意思。她所知道的是，有人在这间餐馆中，引发了一次爆炸，而且还放出了大量浓烟。这些戴有防毒面具的人，当然是引起灾祸的人，穆秀珍也就决定，不必对这些人客气。所以那人才一向她打一个手势，穆秀珍已一拳向着那人的胸前。重重打了出去。 她看不到那人跌向后之后的情形，但是却可以听到那人的肋骨断折声，和他跌倒时撞倒一些桌椅的声音。 从夺到了防毒面具之后，穆秀珍已不如才冲进来的时候那样狼狈，虽然浓烟仍然弥漫，她的视线仍然不出三呎，可是她的行动却不受浓烟的限制，要不是她记挂着木兰花的安危，接下来的几分钟，早已使她欢啸不已了。她发觉浓烟之中，至少有二三十个人全是戴着防毒面具的，而那些人，在离她十分接近的时候，也全将她当作了自己人，穆秀珍出拳、起脚，重重地将他们击倒，那些人连一点抵抗的机会都没有。 这时，穆秀珍已听到了警车的呜呜声，迅速自远而近，传了过来。她勉力叫了几声，想找到木兰花，可是她的声音却十分低沉，那是由于她戴着防毒面具的原故。她准备先退出餐馆外再说，她知道浓烟正在向店外涌去，所以顺着浓烟涌出的方向，奔出了两步，又踢倒了一个人，当她觉得身后又有人撞过来之际，陡地一缩肘，向背后的那人撞了过去。 在浓烟中动手，穆秀珍可以说无往而不利，所向无敌。她以为自己那一肘，一定又可以令得身后的人发出骨断折之声。可是出乎她的意料之外，她手肘才向后撞去，肘上陡地一麻，已被她身后的那人，拿住了肘际的麻筋。穆秀珍立时知道了自己遇上了武学高手，可是当她知道这一点时，已经迟了，随着肘部的一麻，整条右臂，立时酥麻得难以再提起来，身子也震了一震，她的背后，也在这时，着了重重的一拳。 这一拳的力道是如此之大，令得穆秀珍眼前金星直冒，身不由主，向前直冲了出去，撞翻了一样东西，她猜想那是一张桌子，人继续向前滚去。要不是她在滚向前之际：己经令得自己全身的肌肉尽量放松，她一定已被地上遍布的碎玻璃割得遍体鳞伤了。 等到她止住了向前滚跌之势时，穆秀珍全不知身在何处，她听到了一阵急骤的脚步声，迅速离去，接着，在另一个方向的警车呜呜声中。她听到了高翔的声音，在叫道：“快调烟雾队过来！” 然后便是安妮的声音，听来极其发急，道：“秀珍姐和兰花姐全在里面！” 穆秀珍猛地提一口气，一跃而起，向着高翔和安妮话语传来的方向，直冲了出去，她感觉到安妮冲出餐馆，到了街上。 一到了街上，浓烟已不如在餐馆中之甚，她继续向前奔了几步，看到几个警员向她大声叱喝着，穆秀珍一把拉防毒面具来，叫道：“是我……高翔……你在哪里？” 高翔的声音立时传了过来，道：“秀珍，快过来！” 穆秀珍一面双手挥动，挥开面前的烟，一面又向前奔去，当她来到一辆警车之前，看到高翔和安妮的时候，陡地叫了一声，身子直仆向前，高翔伸手扶住了她。穆秀珍在那一剎间，只看到高翔骇然已极的神情，失声在问道：“秀珍，你怎么了？” 穆秀珍在那一剎间，还不明白高翔何以如此吃惊，她想说话，可是一阵恶心，只觉得全身的血，似乎都在向上涌来，喉际一阵发甜，再也忍不住，“哇”地一声，一口鲜血喷出来，眼前一黑，人就昏了过去。
When Anne got home, it was already three in the morning. She has been staying near the fire scene. As soon as the fire engine and police car arrived, she used the communication device on the police car to contact Mulanhua and told Mulanhua that she would come back later. By the time the fire engines came and hooked up the hoses at the nearest water source, there was little work left to do.Because the whole house has been burned down.The fire naturally weakened. A senior fire officer frowned after asking Anne and her three classmates about the fire they had seen.Annie asked: "We have only been out of this house for five minutes. Why did the fire become so violent so quickly?" The fire officer still frowned and said, "Only by arson!" He said this sentence.After a short pause, he repeated: "There is only arson, and it must be the masterpiece of an arson expert!" Annie took a breath, but didn't make another sound, feeling even more puzzled in her heart. Half an hour later, the fire was completely brought under control, thick smoke rose one after another, a large amount of water was sprayed on it, and even the thick smoke was gradually extinguished.Firefighters began digging into the fire. Annie still had hope in case Huang Yihe was not in the room.Although Professor Huang was not an approachable or amiable person, Anne had a great deal of respect for him. After another hour, Anne's hopes were dashed!She heard the firefighters in the fire scene shouting: "The body is found! There is only one!" Then, several firefighters carried stretchers into the fire scene. Annie wanted to follow, but was discouraged by the fire officer.She saw the body come out on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth.When the stretcher passed in front of her, Annie lifted the white cloth and took a look. The corpse was no longer a corpse, but just a charred black mass, which looked more like a piece of burnt wood!It was hard for Anne to imagine that such an ugly, scorched corpse, just two hours ago, Professor Huang was explaining to them the relationship between brain skin cell activity and memory in a low tone! Anne's heart was heavy, and she slowly walked a few steps away, standing still, until a police officer asked her if she was going to leave, and she nodded. The police officers also closed the team, and Anne returned home in a police car.When she walked into the living room, unexpectedly, Magnolia was still awake and was reading a book in an easy chair. As soon as Magnolia saw Annie, she put down the book in her hand. Annie glanced at the cover of the book. It was "Discussion on the Endocrine of the Memory System", which was the work of Professor Huang Yihe. Without waiting for Annie to speak, Magnolia said, "I'm sorry, but I looked for this book on your bookshelf to read without your permission." Annie waved her hand. The relationship between her and Mulanhua and Mu Xiuzhen was like that of sisters. Of course, she wouldn't mind these little things.She just felt that she had a lot to say to Magnolia, but she didn't know how to say it.At this moment, Magnolia said again: "This is a strange fire!" This is exactly what Annie wanted to say. Starting with Mulanhua, Annie hurriedly told Mulanhua what happened. Magnolia listened attentively, and then said: "Didn't you notice anything unusual about Professor Huang when he was in class?" Annie said: "I've thought about this a long time ago, no. Professor Huang has always been like that, except for what is related to the course, he doesn't say much." Magnolia asked again: "Has he always lived alone?" Annie said: "I think so, I have been to his residence more than ten times, and I have never seen anyone other than him. He is very withdrawn, as if no one in this city is worthy to talk to him! " Magnolia raised her eyebrows and made a questioning expression. Anne added: "I mean, Professor Huang has close contacts with scientists from all over the world, and he often receives letters from all over the world." Magnolia sighed, and said: "What a pity, such a giant in the scientific world died in an unknown fire!" She stood up, stretched her waist, and said: "It's getting late, go to sleep!" With a heavy heart, Annie walked slowly towards the stairs. She was only halfway there when the phone rang. Magnolia picked up the phone and said, "Of course Director Gao is asleep. What time is it now? Oh, it's Doctor Wang. What? Well, I'll wake him up and tell him to come right away!" Magnolia put down the phone, Annie turned her head and looked at her suspiciously.Magnolia quickly walked towards the stairs and said, "It's a call from the forensic officer. He said that Huang Jiaotong's body is very suspicious to him, and he wants to ask Gao Xiang to go there once." Annie was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Suspicious, what do you mean?" When she said this, she immediately thought of the scorched and terrifying corpse. Magnolia spread her hands, indicating that the forensic officer did not say anything suspicious, and continued to walk towards the stairs.Anne just sat down on the stairs, biting her nails. Three minutes later, Gao Xiang hurried down from upstairs.When Annie saw Gao Xiang, she quickly stood up and said, "I'm going too!" Magnolia obviously told Gao Xiang the simple story of the matter, so Gao Xiang said: "What's so interesting about people who were burned to death." Annie followed Gao Xiang down the stairs and said, "The one burned to death is Professor Huang. Before he died, I was one of the last people to see him!" Gao Xiang kept walking, and Annie followed until he got to the car. Gao Xiang opened the door and said, "Annie, the corpse is horrible and disgusting. There is really nothing to see!" Annie said stubbornly, "I've already seen it!" Gao Xiang shook his head and said: "When you saw it, the corpse was lifted from the fire, it was just a mass of charred black, but now it has arrived in the dissection room of the mortuary, it must have undergone a certain degree of treatment, the burnt flesh fell off, May see bones—” When Gao Xiang said this, Annie couldn't help feeling a chill, but she still insisted, saying: "I'm going! This fire is very strange, and I have decided to find out the cause of the fire!" Gao Xiang knew that he couldn't win Annie any more, so he spread his hands, let Annie get in the car, and then drove straight to the mortuary.When Gao Xiang and Annie got out of the car, they saw the forensic doctor rubbing his hands and walking back and forth, looking very anxious.As soon as he saw Gao Xiang, he immediately came up to him and said, "Director Gao, if it wasn't too bizarre, I wouldn't have woken you up!" Gao Xiang made a gesture of "It doesn't matter", the forensic officer led Gao Xiang forward, Annie followed, until he reached the door of the dissection room, the forensic officer turned around and said: "The body was burnt to pieces , Miss Anne, will you wait outside the door?" Annie said firmly: "No!" The forensic doctor didn't say anything else, and pushed open the door, and the smell of formaldehyde came in. The three of them came to the dissection table. The forensic doctor glanced at Anne again, and then lifted the white cloth covering the dissection table. The forensic doctor only lifted the white cloth a little, and he could see the head of the corpse. When Annie saw it, her heart jumped wildly.Indeed, the situation was the same as what Gao Xiang said, the corpse had undergone preliminary treatment, and it was no longer a scorched mass, but looked more terrifying. The burned muscles have all been removed, and there are not many left, but they are still attached to the skull, and the entire skull is almost in front of the eyes. That kind of scene really makes me never want to see it again. Take a second look! However, Annie only shook her body slightly, and did not turn her head away.She struggled to control her concussions, and she was extremely successful.Because from the outside, she is completely nonchalant. Moreover, Annie also immediately saw the reason why the forensic doctor invited Gao Xiang to come.The forensic doctor was pointing at the skull of the corpse and said, "Director Gao, look!" Gao Xiang naturally also saw that there were obvious cracks and a hole on the skull of the corpse.That hole, based on Gao Xiang's experience, was immediately certain that it was the result of a bullet! Annie also yelled, and said, "Professor Huang was shot!" But the forensic doctor shook his head and said: "No, he was burned to death, but the bullet has been there for a long time. Judging from the traces of skull growth, it was at least three years ago! And—" When he said this, he lifted the white cloth again, and there was only half of the corpse's arm left, the internal organs had been removed, there was a big hole in the chest, and the spine could be seen. On the spine, there was an obvious one, about the size of a golf ball. Ball-sized connective tissue. Gao Xiang said "Oh": "His spine was also injured!" The forensic doctor said: "Yes, and it is very serious. I bet that if the cartilage is cut open, there must be a bullet inside!" Gao Xiang was full of doubts in his heart, and looked at Annie.Annie already knew what Gao Xiang wanted to ask her, and before Gao Xiang could speak, she said, "It can't be Professor Huang. Professor Huang's body is very healthy. I don't think a person who has been shot in the brain and spine can still be a healthy person." people!" The forensic doctor said loudly: "Of course not a healthy person. It can even be said that he was able to survive the shooting. It is already a miracle. This person's spine is injured, so he can't move, his brain is injured, and he can't even think. , can’t speak, just a living dead!” Gao Xiang was stunned for a while, then covered the white cloth, and said, “He’s not Professor Huang Yihe, but another one?” The forensic doctor said: "If Professor Huang is a healthy person, then I can be sure he is not!" Annie said: "But it is still buried in the fire. The strange thing is that Professor Huang is the only one in that room. My classmates and I can almost confirm this! I have never heard him mention that anyone lives with him." !" Gao Xiang shook his head. In a house, even a small one, it is very easy to hide someone without being known by the students who go to class once a week.Annie said that Professor Huang has been living alone, which is obviously unreliable. And at that moment, he had already made a decision, he asked: "Is there any way to identify the identity of the deceased?" The forensic doctor said: "The fingerprints are absolutely gone, and all the teeth are still there. We can also roughly restore his original appearance based on the structure of his bones. I can now conclude that this corpse belongs to a person. Caucasian, about forty to forty-five years old!" Anne murmured: "Caucasian!" A strange and inexplicable expression appeared on her face, because things were getting more and more incredible! Gao Xiang said: "Okay! I will send someone to assist you, and we will find out the identity of this corpse as soon as possible!" He turned to Anne: "It's too late now. I'll give an order tomorrow morning to go to the disaster site for excavation. Professor Huang's body must still be at the scene of the fire and not be excavated!" Annie bit her lower lip and nodded.Gao Xiang went home with her. On the way, Gao Xiang smiled and said, "Annie, don't overcomplicate things. There are many reasons for inexplicable fires, and Professor Huang may not live alone. When we find Professor Huang's Corpse. Once we found out the identity of that corpse, things couldn't be easier!" Annie stayed for a while, before suddenly asking Gao Xiang a childish question, "What if the identity of this corpse can't be found out?" Gao Xiang chuckled, and said, "How could that be? A dead person is a living person before he dies. Living people living in this society must have various records. Moreover, this person has suffered serious gunshot wounds. Caucasians, the range is not wide, and they will definitely be found out soon.” Annie still insisted on her childish question, and said, "What if, I said, if it can't be found out?" Gao Xiang yawned and said, "Then, in the police file, he is an unknown corpse."
Gao Xiang thought Annie's question was childish and impossible.But after a week, when the binder about the body was still marked "Unknown Body," he no longer felt that Annie's question was pointless. During this week, in order to find out the identity of this unknown corpse, Gao Xiang ordered three experienced police officers to exhaust all methods.The police officers took the tooth prints of the corpse and handed them over to the city dentist for verification. They searched all disappearance records, and searched all the treatment records of the patients who had been shot in the hospital, but there was no result. The forensic doctor and painter also drew a picture based on the skeleton structure of the corpse.The drawing showed that the deceased was a middle-aged Caucasian man with a height of six feet and a rather dignified appearance.The portraits were distributed to every concerned police officer, and appeared in newspapers and on TV through public media.Considering that the corpse was not necessarily a long-term resident of the city before his death, he checked the entry records. But all the efforts were in vain. This corpse is always an "nameless corpse", as if there is no such person in the world. This is really unimaginable. Without such a person, how can such a corpse come about? Just as inconceivable as not being able to find the origin of this unknown corpse is that after three consecutive thorough excavations, no other corpses were found in the fire scene, not even ashes.If Professor Huang Yihe was buried in a sea of flames, there must be some remaining body parts found, but they didn't.If Professor Huang Yihe was not burned to death, where is he?Although the police have repeatedly appealed to contact the police, there is no news at all, as if he suddenly disappeared in the air! The thing is really weird, a nameless corpse that came from nowhere, a disappeared person who should have died in the fire and was found!
One afternoon a week later. During this week, especially in the last few days, Annie wanted to hear Mulanhua's opinion many times, but Magnolia seemed very busy, she often went out, and no one knew where she was. Annie didn't even have the chance to ask. nothing.A few times, Annie had a chance, but Magnolia seemed to have no interest in this matter at all. As soon as Annie mentioned it, she diverted it with other words, making Annie lose the point. That morning, Mu Xiuzhen came.Before Mu Xiuzhen entered the living room, her yelling had already come in, saying, "Sister Lanhua, the nameless corpse, do you have a clue?" Magnolia was tuning the piano, without raising her head, she said, "An unknown corpse is an unknown corpse, why add a strange word?" Mu Xiuzhen had already walked in, and Annie also rushed downstairs when she heard Mu Xiuzhen's voice.Mu Xiuzhen felt that the boss was not convinced by Mulanhua's words, and said: "Why not blame? Who is the deceased? Why it seems easy to find out his identity, but can't find out?" Annie looked at Magnolia, waiting for her answer.Magnolia straightened her body, tapped her fingers on the keys a few times, as if she was satisfied with the sound of the piano, and then said calmly: "If you can't find out for a while, you will eventually find out." Mu Xiuzhen said: "It's been a week, and if we still can't find out, that's weird enough!" Magnolia laughed, and Annie said, "Also. Where's Professor Huang? Whether it's life or death, what happened to him?" Mulanhua sat down, looked at Annie, then at Mu Xiuzhen and said, "It must have been a long time since you wanted to ask my opinion on this matter, right?" Annie and Mu Xiuzhen both nodded.Magnolia moved her body, motioned for Annie to sit on her body, and said, "Okay, I will express my intention. But first I need to know Annie, what kind of work have you done within this week?" Annie said: "I spent a lot of time investigating Professor Huang's life—no, investigating his life." Magnolia said: "What's the conclusion?" Annie said: "The conclusion is that Professor Huang doesn't interact with anyone at all, except for his job needs, he doesn't even say a word, and he lives alone, his house is far away from where other people live Although it is far away, he must pass a main road to get in and out, and there are many people living along the road, and no one has ever seen him go in and out with other people!" Magnolia said "Oh", "Have you ever met a man named Wang Aqiao?" Annie was stunned for a while, and said: "Wang Aqiao, who is that? Why should I go to see him?" Magnolia said: "Wang Aqiao is a carpenter, you should go see him. Because six months before the fire, Wang Aqiao made some changes in the professor's room. In his bedroom, A small room was separated, and I believe that from then on, the professor did not live alone." Annie opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Magnolia stroked her hair comfortingly, and said, "Don't blame yourself for being careless. In fact, because you have been to his residence more than a dozen times, you have ancestors, and you think he must I live alone. I don’t think so. The fire is so fierce. No one will rush into the fire to die after the fire. The body can be sure to be in the house. I don’t want to check it out. , and found out that Wang Aqiao had remodeled the professor's room!" Annie gave a wry smile, and said politely: "The subjectivity of the ancestors is the greatest enemy of reasoning!" Mu Xiuzhen put her hands on her cheeks, opened her eyes, listened with great interest, and said, "Then, who is this person?" Magnolia said: "I don't know, but Professor Huang must know. Instead of playing hide-and-seek with the identity of the corpse, it is much better to find Professor Huang's whereabouts." Annie said: "You are sure that Professor Huang was not burned to death!" Magnolia said: "Of course, I believe you have also studied the report of the fire department. The fire was caused by a sudden leakage of electricity. Someone once poured gasoline on the house to help the fire burn. Annie, five minutes after you left that night, the fire broke out. It has already become very violent, we can see that Professor Huang is well prepared, as soon as you leave, he will start to act—” When Magnolia spoke up to this point, Annie yelled suddenly, "Wait a minute, Miss Lanhua. You said Professor Huang set the fire?" Magnolia said calmly, "There are only two people in the room. One was burned to death and the other disappeared. Who do you think set the fire?" Annie said: "The person who set the fire may also be the person who was burned to death!" Magnolia took a breath and said: "The body shows that this person had suffered serious gunshot wounds at least three years ago, and he couldn't move at all. Before he was burned to death, it is true that he was still alive, but in fact a The corpse is not much different." Annie stopped making a sound and pursed her lips tightly.Mu Xiuzhen waved her hand and said, "Why would an internationally renowned scientific authority set fire to kill a living dead?" Magnolia shook her head and said, "Of course you have to ask him!" Annie jumped up and said, "You're not going to blame Professor Huang, you already have a clue?" Magnolia laughed and said, "You're half right, because there are only a few clues. I'm sure that if Professor Huang is still in this city, he will definitely appear somewhere." Both Annie and Mu Xiuzhen opened their eyes wide, and Mulan said, "That's the result of my hard work for a week. Annie, you must know that Professor Huang has a preference for the food in an Italian food restaurant?" Annie said: "Yes, he likes to eat the cheese baked spaghetti there. He goes there almost once a week." Magnolia said: "It's not almost once a week, but definitely once a week. Last night, I waited for him to appear in that restaurant. People's habits are hard to change, especially scientists, life has certain rules .” Annie stretched out her hand and hit her on the head, and said, "How did I think...you...saw him?" Magnolia said: "I shouldn't go by myself. Last night, from 7:30 to 9:30, there were eleven people in this restaurant who ordered pasta with cheese baked, but I couldn't identify which one. It was Professor Huang who came. I was just suspicious of one of the middle-aged men who was evasive, and when he left, I followed him, but soon there was no trace of him." Annie asked suspiciously, "Has he undergone plastic surgery?" Mulan said: "If this middle-aged man is him, then it's not plastic surgery, it's just a delicate makeup. We can wait another week. As long as Professor Huang is still in this city, he will definitely go again." Another week passed, and the situation was no different from last week.The police file still says "unnamed corpse", and Professor Huang Yihe still hasn't shown up to contact the police. At seven o'clock that night, Magnolia arrived at the Italian restaurant.She disguised herself as a middle-aged woman.And Annie, dressed as a boy, was standing against the wall on the street corner outside the restaurant, holding a coin in her hand and tossing it up and down. She seemed to be an idle hooligan.Mu Xiuzhen was in a car parked at the corner of the street. When the three of them set off, Mu Xiuzhen said proudly: "The three of us are going out to follow a person. Unless this person knows how to hide, we can definitely go to the sky with him..." What Mu Xiuzhen said was not a boast. Considering the abilities of the three of them, it was really easy to follow a person. At eight o'clock, Annie first spotted the middle-aged man Magnolia had described and was walking towards the restaurant. The middle-aged man stopped not far from the entrance of the restaurant, then opened the door and walked in. Annie had carefully sized up the middle-aged man with her sharp eyes in less than a minute, trying to find the familiar appearance of Professor Huang Yihe in that middle-aged man, but when After the middle-aged man walked into the restaurant, she was still not sure of the middle-aged man's identity. That middle-aged man didn't look like Professor Huang at all, not at all.Was it not the result of the most ingenious art of disguise?If that middle-aged man is not Professor Huang, why does he come to this restaurant once a week, and also order Professor Huang's favorite baked spaghetti cheese? When Annie was full of doubts, Magnolia in the restaurant also saw the middle-aged man. He walked in and sat down on the same seat as last week. Magnolia didn't even look at the middle-aged man, but in fact, all her attention was focused on the middle-aged man.She saw that the middle-aged man sat down, stretched his waist, and asked a waiter loudly for his food, which was pasta with cheese baked. Then, he suddenly turned his head and smiled at Magnolia . This action of the middle-aged man made Mulanhua startled suddenly.Judging from the weirdness in the middle-aged man's smile, Mulan knew something was wrong, Guan Chi.At least she can be sure that the other party already knows her identity. However, Mulanhua's shrewdness, she couldn't figure out why her identity would be exposed in an instant. Although she was surprised in her heart: but on the surface, she was calm, indifferent and expressionless, as if she didn't see the middle-aged man at all. The man gave her a weird smile. However, what happened next made Mulan even more embarrassed. After a smile, the middle-aged man stood up, walked towards Mulan, came to Mulan's table, and bent down. Although Mulanhua was good at responding to the situation, she didn't know what to do in such a situation, so she could only pretend to be puzzled and stared at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man smiled at Mulan again, with an even weirder expression. Magnolia took a deep breath, the other party has recognized her, there is no doubt about it, who is the other party?Is it Professor Huang Yihe's disguise?or another person? When Mulanhua was thinking quickly, the middle-aged man straightened up suddenly and laughed abruptly. His laughter was so loud that it was like a burst of laughter!
Anne who was outside the restaurant door couldn't hear the loud laughter of the middle-aged man.Anne only heard the sound of car horns coming again and again.Annie knew that it was from Mu Xiuzhen. Mu Xiuzhen was impatient, so she must have been impatient to wait. Annie thought for a while, then hurried to the corner of the street. Mu Xiuzhen was in the car, and when she saw Annie walking towards her, she also opened the door and walked out, with an impatient look on her face.Annie hurriedly said, "The person Sister Lanhua mentioned has already entered the restaurant!" Mu Xiuzhen waved her hand, made a gesture, and said, "Just get him out, why bother..." When she said this, she pointed to the door of the restaurant about fifty meters away from where they were standing.At this moment, Mu Xiuzhen's fingers were like those of a magician. Following her finger, a loud "boom" came from the dining room. It was a rather violent explosion. , The glass at the entrance of the restaurant immediately shattered, and several passers-by were immediately injured by the broken glass.And the passers-by nearby suddenly became chaotic. It was as if a stone slab was lifted suddenly, alarming a group of ants living under the stone slab. , Passers-by in the distance rushed over to watch the excitement, and all the chaos happened in less than five minutes. The reactions of Mu Xiuzhen and Annie were faster than those on the road. As soon as there was a loud bang, Mu Xiuzhen didn't even have time to withdraw her outstretched hand, so she yelled and rushed forward, and Annie also rushed forward. Busy behind her.They didn't know what happened, only that there was an explosion and Magnolia was in that restaurant. When they were running forward, a large number of frightened passers-by were rushing out. Mu Xiuzhen pushed away a few passers-by and rushed forward. Annie followed her closely. When she came to the door of the dining room , a large cloud of thick smoke has poured out from the dining room. The thick smoke pouring out of the restaurant not only makes people cough violently, but also makes it impossible to see anything.Annie had already pulled out a handkerchief, but Mu Xiuzhen just held her breath, and jumped into the thick smoke, trying to see the surroundings clearly, but couldn't see anything I realized that not only could I not see anything, but the thick smoke made my eyes extremely painful, and tears rolled down involuntarily. Mu Xiuzhen yelled, "Sister Lanhua!" As soon as she opened her mouth, thick smoke poured into her throat again, causing her to cough violently.At this moment, she felt someone bumping into her side.Although she was surrounded by thick smoke, Mu Xiuzhen's reaction.Still very sensitive, she leaned over and reached out to grab the person who bumped into her. One characteristic of oriental martial arts is that it has extremely deep research on the weak parts of the human body.Even in the situation where the eyes cannot see, as long as the opponent is not unusually tall or short, a person who has studied oriental martial arts well can catch the enemy's vital point with a single shot.At this time, Mu Xiuzhen casually grabbed with her backhand and moved her five fingers, and she had already grabbed the soft flesh of a person's waist. Mu Xiuzhen shrank the back of her hands, and grabbed the person she was holding close to her. She tried her best to open her eyes and looked at the person. She couldn't help being stunned for a moment. , she even thought that what she caught was a monster from space. But that strange feeling only happened in a very short period of time, even though when Mu Xiuzhen immediately saw that what she caught was not some space monster, but just a person wearing a gas mask, she felt even more excited. Surprised, but her movements were not slow at all. She reached out with her left hand and grabbed the man's gas mask again. Then she raised her right knee and hit the man's abdomen heavily, and the man let out a scream ，向后直跌了出去，烟是如此浓密，那人才一向后仰倒，穆秀珍就已经看不到他了，而那人的防毒面具，也已经到穆秀珍的手中。 穆秀珍连一刻也不耽搁，立时将防毒面具戴上，同时深深吸进了一口气。她的双眼之中，泪水仍然在不断涌出来，但至少她已经可以睁开眼来。 就在她才一戴上防毒面具之际，又有一个人迎面急奔过来，那人直到来到邓穆秀珍的身前，才陡地站定，向穆秀珍作了一个手势。 穆秀珍不知道那人的手势是什么意思。她所知道的是，有人在这间餐馆中，引发了一次爆炸，而且还放出了大量浓烟。这些戴有防毒面具的人，当然是引起灾祸的人，穆秀珍也就决定，不必对这些人客气。所以那人才一向她打一个手势，穆秀珍已一拳向着那人的胸前。重重打了出去。 她看不到那人跌向后之后的情形，但是却可以听到那人的肋骨断折声，和他跌倒时撞倒一些桌椅的声音。 从夺到了防毒面具之后，穆秀珍已不如才冲进来的时候那样狼狈，虽然浓烟仍然弥漫，她的视线仍然不出三呎，可是她的行动却不受浓烟的限制，要不是她记挂着木兰花的安危，接下来的几分钟，早已使她欢啸不已了。她发觉浓烟之中，至少有二三十个人全是戴着防毒面具的，而那些人，在离她十分接近的时候，也全将她当作了自己人，穆秀珍出拳、起脚，重重地将他们击倒，那些人连一点抵抗的机会都没有。 这时，穆秀珍已听到了警车的呜呜声，迅速自远而近，传了过来。她勉力叫了几声，想找到木兰花，可是她的声音却十分低沉，那是由于她戴着防毒面具的原故。她准备先退出餐馆外再说，她知道浓烟正在向店外涌去，所以顺着浓烟涌出的方向，奔出了两步，又踢倒了一个人，当她觉得身后又有人撞过来之际，陡地一缩肘，向背后的那人撞了过去。 在浓烟中动手，穆秀珍可以说无往而不利，所向无敌。她以为自己那一肘，一定又可以令得身后的人发出骨断折之声。可是出乎她的意料之外，她手肘才向后撞去，肘上陡地一麻，已被她身后的那人，拿住了肘际的麻筋。穆秀珍立时知道了自己遇上了武学高手，可是当她知道这一点时，已经迟了，随着肘部的一麻，整条右臂，立时酥麻得难以再提起来，身子也震了一震，她的背后，也在这时，着了重重的一拳。 这一拳的力道是如此之大，令得穆秀珍眼前金星直冒，身不由主，向前直冲了出去，撞翻了一样东西，她猜想那是一张桌子，人继续向前滚去。要不是她在滚向前之际：己经令得自己全身的肌肉尽量放松，她一定已被地上遍布的碎玻璃割得遍体鳞伤了。 等到她止住了向前滚跌之势时，穆秀珍全不知身在何处，她听到了一阵急骤的脚步声，迅速离去，接着，在另一个方向的警车呜呜声中。她听到了高翔的声音，在叫道：“快调烟雾队过来！” 然后便是安妮的声音，听来极其发急，道：“秀珍姐和兰花姐全在里面！” 穆秀珍猛地提一口气，一跃而起，向着高翔和安妮话语传来的方向，直冲了出去，她感觉到安妮冲出餐馆，到了街上。 一到了街上，浓烟已不如在餐馆中之甚，她继续向前奔了几步，看到几个警员向她大声叱喝着，穆秀珍一把拉防毒面具来，叫道：“是我……高翔……你在哪里？” 高翔的声音立时传了过来，道：“秀珍，快过来！” 穆秀珍一面双手挥动，挥开面前的烟，一面又向前奔去，当她来到一辆警车之前，看到高翔和安妮的时候，陡地叫了一声，身子直仆向前，高翔伸手扶住了她。穆秀珍在那一剎间，只看到高翔骇然已极的神情，失声在问道：“秀珍，你怎么了？” 穆秀珍在那一剎间，还不明白高翔何以如此吃惊，她想说话，可是一阵恶心，只觉得全身的血，似乎都在向上涌来，喉际一阵发甜，再也忍不住，“哇”地一声，一口鲜血喷出来，眼前一黑，人就昏了过去。
