Chapter 137

Jiang Cheng immediately stood up and sincerely thanked Lin Muwan. Lin Muwan's face was pale, obviously frightened, but she still shook her head slightly at Jiang Cheng.

As for the doctor, Fatty still considered himself to know him somewhat. During the time he had known the doctor, he had hardly ever heard him thank anyone.

Because the doctor was a person who hated owing favors, and another reason was that he was strong enough, so he rarely needed help from others.

Seeing that his sister was alright, Lin Muyun looked at Jiang Cheng and asked with concern, "Mr. Jiang, how are you?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Cheng's gaze was still fixed on Lin Muwan's pale face. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something caring.

But under Jiang Cheng's gaze, Lin Muwan seemed to be resisting, avoiding his gaze and habitually hiding behind her brother Lin Muyun, grabbing his arm.

Just when everyone was relieved, suddenly, a scream interrupted everyone's thoughts, "Where's Yuan Xiaotian?"

It was Zhou Tong's voice, sharp and with a hint of disbelief.

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their heads. The spot where Yuan Xiaotian had been standing was now empty.

Yuan Xiaotian was standing behind everyone, because everyone's attention was drawn to Jiang Cheng, Wang Jie, and Lin Muwan, so no one looked back.

But now...

They searched every corner of the room, but Yuan Xiaotian was nowhere to be found. A living person had disappeared right beside them.

No!

He must have been taken away!

In an unbelievable way.

As if thinking of something, Huai Yi suddenly raised his head and quickly said, "Just now Wang Jie said that she found a corpse last night, that corpse..."

That corpse was probably Yuan Xiaotian!

"But how was he taken away?" Fatty raised a question that everyone wanted to know. Clearly, Yuan Xiaotian was the furthest away from Wang Jie, so it shouldn't have been him.

Hearing this, Lin Muyun hesitated for a moment, frowned, and asked, "Could it be because of this brooch?"

Xia Qiang looked at Lin Muyun and asked urgently, "What did you notice?"

"I..." Lin Muyun looked hesitant, seemingly unsure if his idea was correct, but he still said, "I didn't see it very clearly either. Yuan Xiaotian was standing a little behind and to the side of me. I saw him raise his left hand in the corner of my eye, near his chest, as if he was fiddling with the brooch, but I'm not sure." Lin Muyun seemed to be a very meticulous person. He only said what he had seen.

Hearing this, Xia Qiang's eyes tightened. He glanced at the door and said, "You shouldn't be mistaken. I think Xiaotian took off his badge himself, so he was taken away."

"That idiot!" Feng Jie gritted his teeth. "He wanted to avenge Li Mengyao!"

The room door couldn't be opened. Even if they wanted to go out and chase after him, they couldn't, and besides, it probably wouldn't be useful.

A moment later, a rapid telephone ring rang.

Jiang Cheng strode over and picked up the phone.

...

"Ugh..."

Dizzy.

His first feeling was dizziness.

His neck was stiff, and there was a soreness that came from holding one position for too long.

Yuan Xiaotian raised his neck, and in the next second, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

He was趴 (pā - lying face down) on a desk, a small office desk with partitions. There was a desk lamp on the corner of the desk.

Gu (a filler word) It was a very old one, with a green lampshade, emitting a soft light, which was the only light source in this area.

The surroundings were relatively dark. He looked around. This was a very large office area.

His head was swollen, as if he had slept too much, but as his vision gradually cleared, he immediately realized that this... was the office he had been to before.

The crime scene introduced by Team Leader Zhang of Wu Bin!

The 10th floor of Yourun Building!

Xia Qiang's guess was correct. He had taken off the badge on his own initiative. Sure enough, the badge was a very important clue in the mission. After taking off the badge, he had also come to this midnight office as he wished.

Li Mengyao... was killed near here!

After Yuan Xiaotian realized where he was, the first thing he did was turn off the desk lamp, then immediately changed to another location, quietly crouching down and hiding himself.

Because he knew that he was not the only one here.

Based on previous speculation and the current situation in front of him, Yuan Xiaotian had a rough idea in his mind. Everyone who was taken away would eventually appear here, replacing the identity of "Wang Jie."

If... if he also died here today, then when Qiang-ge (strong brother) and the others received a call from the police and came here, what they would see would be his corpse.

And in the eyes of the police, or everyone else, he would be "Wang Jie" who stayed in the company to work overtime.

He also had evidence, which was the clothes he was wearing now.

A neutral style, the same outfit Wang Jie was wearing just now!

When Li Mengyao's body was found, she was also wearing this outfit!

Although the clothes had been changed, the badge he had taken off was still there, and it was also carefully worn on the clothes, in a very conspicuous position.

"What should I do?" Yuan Xiaotian calculated in his heart. He turned his neck, constantly looking around. "Where will that thing... appear again?"

Just like some of the missions he had experienced before, although the desk lamp was turned off, the office area was relatively dark, but if you looked carefully, you could still see the outlines of the surrounding furnishings.

Moreover, he had a very good memory. Before turning off the desk lamp, he had roughly memorized the surrounding scene in his mind.

Then, he chose to sneak away quietly after turning off the desk lamp and hide in another hidden location.

Li Mengyao died in front of the fire exit in the corridor, and judging from the scene, she was chased and killed with an ax, her death was miserable, almost cut in half.

He was here to avenge Li Mengyao, not to die, so he could remain calm.

The way to help Li Mengyao avenge was to break this cycle, the simplest way was to survive, live long enough, or escape from here.

Li Mengyao chose to escape, she failed, so Yuan Xiaotian wanted to try to hide this time.

Moreover, the place he chose was this large office area.

In his opinion, the terrain here was complex, with many desks, chairs, and writing boards, which was very conducive to his hiding.

Moreover, he had also calculated that the thing that could wield that huge weapon would definitely not be small, so as long as that thing appeared near here, he would be able to notice it immediately.

He slowly twisted his neck, constantly looking around.

Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a blurred outline in the distance. That thing looked like a coat rack, standing by the door, with clothes hanging on it.

But Yuan Xiaotian's eyes became strange, because he remembered that the position by the door... seemed to be empty before.

Just as he was staring intently, suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky. The moment he saw what that thing was, Yuan Xiaotian's heart was gripped tightly.
