Chapter 49 Chapter 49
"...Let's wait for someone to rescue us."
Li Rui had already seen the mayor running back in a hurry, he should stop this farce, Li Rui's eyes flashed coldly, if these people really didn't care about their own lives, he wouldn't have that much compassion.
The mayor was sweating profusely, and wailed in the crowd to persuade those irrational people, but no one paid any attention to him. Those people all stared fiercely at Li Rui and Max, and some people had already started throwing rotten leaves and gravel at them. sub or something.
The mayor stood on a high place, clenched his fists, and shouted: "Everyone calm down! Don't be impulsive!!"
Yes, don't be impulsive, impulsive is the devil.Max said in his heart.
The mayor's voice was sharp and could be called a monster's voice.
"Think clearly, everyone. We are peace-loving. Don't hurt good people before the truth of the matter is known. Everyone, don't act impulsively, or Sea God will be even more angry!!"
......
The prestige of the mayor is still very strong, at least half of the people calmed down under his persuasion, glared at them a few times, and then went back to their respective homes.
Of course there are still some stubborn ones who have been clamoring for them to fill the sea!
"Stupid!" The mayor reprimanded loudly, "Go back first, go back first, the town will investigate this matter, and will definitely give everyone an explanation! Go back, don't get stuck here, Yahan has to be buried, go back!! You, and you, you! You don’t want Yahan’s corpse to be lit up here all the time, don’t worry, everyone, I will definitely not let the murderer go!” The mayor moved his hands and feet, even pushing and hugging those people back Leaving Yahan's house.
The crowd had almost dispersed, and the few people left breathed a sigh of relief.
The mayor apologized to them, "I'm sorry, please don't blame them, they are also too sad, and some have lost their minds, everyone is always afraid of Sea God."
"It's okay, we understand." Li Rui was polite.
Max said: "Mr. Mayor, can you let us join the team you set up to solve the crime? I want to do my part, these girls..."
The mayor hehe, "Don't bother you guys, I'm afraid your time to go to sea will be delayed." The mayor made a gesture of forgiveness, "Yahan's father is too sad, I am afraid he is not suitable for sailing, really I'm sorry you guys."
"We understand, you don't have to feel guilty, we will find another way. Sigh..." Li Rui sighed, and then looked at Ha Kui who hadn't moved yet. His face was pale, and the mayor saw it. Neng sighed in heartache, he didn't know how to persuade him at this time, all words could not relieve his pain.
Seeing that Max was still pouting, with a very dissatisfied expression, he knew that this was dissatisfaction with the townspeople. The cause of these girls' deaths clearly had a lot of inside information, but they foolishly thought that they were influenced by the sea god. punish.
Li Rui patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I think we should go back first. It's useless to stay here. Why don't we go back and look for clues." It's just that no one is willing to talk to them now.
Max didn't have a good solution either. Two of the few people left now stared at them with hatred and suspicion, as if they would be arrested if they made any bad moves.
Max hated their stares, so he nodded immediately, "Go back, go back. Let's all go back."
They stayed at the mayor's house for a few more days. Li Rui was going to learn how to sail a sailboat by himself. These days, he was studying and groping by himself.
Max, on the other hand, is making open and undercover investigations to track down their real cause of death and the murderer.
That night, after dinner, Li Rui and Max sneaked to the church in the town when everyone else was asleep. The bodies of those girls were still there, and Max wanted to try his luck Can't find a clue.
Li Rui is also fed up with the people in the town these days, staring at him with the eyes of guarding against thieves and murderers, and they will stare fiercely at everything they do.If it wasn't for Ha Huan's promise to teach him sailing skills and take them out to sea, he would have wanted to leave a long time ago, even if it took a long way to find another small town, he would not hesitate.
Ha Huan also wanted to leave this sad place, so he decided to take them out to sea. The mayor also agreed. It’s good to change his mood. When he sees this familiar scenery, he will think of Yahan and feel distressed. irresistible.Secondly, they knew that Max and Li Rui would not be able to stay in the town anymore. If the mayor hadn't suppressed and persuaded them, they would have been captured by the town's residents to pay homage to the sea god.Another result was that Li Rui went berserk and killed everyone in the town...
There were only a few candles lit in the church, and the lights flickered and flickered.
Their shadows were stretched very long and reflected on the wall, like two big monsters with claws and claws, looking for their prey.Max suddenly raised his head and was frightened when he saw his own shadow. Li Rui let out a muffled laugh and patted him.
The two walked into the center of the church. There were three huge coffins parked here, like three big mouths, trying to swallow all those who disturbed their peace, and even more like tearing and swallowing those who took their lives... ..
Just as Max was about to walk into the coffin, Li Rui grabbed him, stretched out his hand and pulled his shoulders, and gestured to the big table in front of the church. Max looked in confusion, and there was only a huge table in the middle. There are also many chairs piled up, because the coffins are to be parked, so these tables and chairs are all put together.Looking at it like this, it looks like a huge tomb, eerie and terrifying.
Li Rui frowned, and whispered in Max's ear, "There are people over there."
Max was shocked, feeling that the clue was coming, and he was about to rush over. Li Rui quickly wrapped him in his arms and motioned him to calm down.Only then did Max realize that he was being reckless. He withdrew from Li Rui's arms embarrassingly, and then carefully observed that direction. The person just now should be under the big table. Zhuo Zai was too huge and the lights were dim, covering the that person.Max narrowed his eyes, it seemed that the man was praying, he kept talking, he touched the cross on his neck for a while, touched his head for a while, and then closed his eyes. He did these movements quickly and smoothly , but it just keeps repeating.
Max walked over lightly, trying to see who that person was, but Li Rui didn't stop him. He came to this place to do such a thing at this time, either because he had a guilty conscience or because he was mentally ill.
Max stopped ten steps away from him, then crouched down and hid behind the chair, by chance the man turned his head, reflecting the blurred light———————————————————Max gasped!
That person - turned out to be the mayor!
Li Rui was obviously also very surprised. The two of them looked at each other, both of them were full of surprise and disbelief!
The mayor is here, why is he praying here in the middle of the night?The hearts of the two floated at the same time
this question.
The two continued to observe the mayor. He was already half kneeling on the ground, holding an old book in his hand and opening it.Max subconsciously wanted to help him up, but fortunately, he held back.
In just a moment, the mayor got up by himself, continued to read the book, read the sentences on it, and after reading a page, he would still kowtow, his head touched the floor, and there was a rattling sound, which was loud and audible. It's even more palpitating like thunder.
Max looked at it for a while, but didn't see any tricks. Li Rui shook his hands in front of his eyes to get his attention back, and then said silently, "We should go back." The mayor is here, and tonight can be regarded as rewarding Now, if he doesn't leave now, it's hard for them to do anything to check those corpses.
Max understood what he said, and understood that this was the only way tonight. He sighed silently, stood up carefully, and wanted to leave with Li Rui.But who knows that he squatted for too long, and when he got up, he felt dizzy for a while, and he couldn't stand firmly. When he was about to fall, he subconsciously grabbed the things around him, just in time to touch the chair, and the chair legs rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.
"Who?" The mayor's sharp and frightened voice sounded.
He turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Max and Li Rui, who were standing awkwardly, silent.Fortunately, the lights were dim, so Li Rui and Max didn't see the mayor's fleeting killing intent.
"Why are you here?" The mayor came over, frowned, and asked calmly, his voice was still suspicious of them, he looked at Max, and asked again, "You guys, come here Here, what are you doing?"
Max tilted his head and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
The mayor choked for a moment, and said, "I, I'm doing this for them."
Shit, the two cursed in their hearts at the same time.
Max said, "We are also here to pray."
The mayor's face changed again and again, and finally said: "It's so late, you go back quickly, the church is our holy place, outsiders can't easily enter, be careful to be seen by others, I won't be able to protect you when the time comes."
Is this a threat?With a smile in his eyes, Li Rui said mysteriously, "Yes, you can't keep a secret from being seen by others."
The mayor's face was even more ugly, and he urged: "Go back, don't come here again!"
The complexion suddenly asked: "Mayor, do you think they haven't left and are still staying here?"
"What?" The mayor was a little terrified.
"Because their deaths are unknown, so their souls are unwilling to leave? The murderer must be punished before they can go to heaven. You know, heaven does not accept souls of unknown origin."
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" The mayor waved his hand, as if trying to drive away a group of flies, "Stop talking about it, go back quickly, someone will come later!"
Li Rui and Max had no choice but to go back first. After returning, they must dig three feet into the mayor's past. They always felt that he had nothing to do with this matter.
Unexpectedly, after going back, he saw Ha Huo standing on the railing of the balcony on the third floor, with his arms outstretched, shouting loudly, as if he was about to jump down!
Max shuddered all over and hurriedly shouted: "Don't jump!"
His voice was so sharp and hasty that Ha Hao staggered and almost fell.
Max's heartbeat was about to stop, he held his breath, and looked at Haru tremblingly.
Fortunately, Ha Kui was quick-witted and grabbed the railing stick next to him, so he didn't fall.
Li Rui and Max breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Max patted his chest and hurried up to the third floor.Ha Huan had come down from the balcony and was in the room on the third floor. He was lying on the ground with tears on his face, panting heavily, calling Yahan's name, chattering non-stop, looking extremely painful.
Max couldn't comfort him for a while, he looked at Li Rui desperately, Li Rui sighed, stepped forward, moved his lips, but just patted him on the shoulder, then forced Max to leave, returned to the went to his own house.
"Don't worry, time will heal all wounds." Li Rui said, but he thought in his heart that some people's injuries will never heal.
Max fell on the bed, and wanted to say something, but after all, he couldn't fight the drowsiness, and fell into a dream after a while.Li Rui stepped forward, took off Max's shoes and socks, then covered him with the quilt, seeing that sweet and innocent sleeping face, he couldn't help but kissed him.
"Sweet dreams, my darling," he murmured.
Li Rui had already seen the mayor running back in a hurry, he should stop this farce, Li Rui's eyes flashed coldly, if these people really didn't care about their own lives, he wouldn't have that much compassion.
