Chapter 859 Gap
Although the distance was relatively far, Lin Muwan immediately recognized that this was his brother, Lin Muyun!
Jiang Cheng also recognized the identity of this person, but what puzzled Jiang Cheng even more was Lin Muyun's movements, or posture at this moment.
Lin Muyun is relatively tall, even if he squats down, it is still difficult to hide completely under the table. The best way is to arch his body with his back in an arc.
But he was uncharacteristically, sticking his back against the wall behind him, leaning his neck forward slightly, lowering his head, and his whole body showed a very strange posture.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng's first reaction was that Lin Muyun was dead, just died under the table, just like Yuan Xiaotian before.
However, after careful observation, no obvious wounds were found on Lin Muyun's "corpse".
There was no trace of blood nearby either, which didn't fit the killer's way of killing.
"What is he doing?" Jiang Cheng was puzzled, "No matter how you look at it, the current location is not a good hiding place. As long as the ghost has eyes, he can definitely be found."
Lin Muyun is a smart person, he will not understand this truth.
"Brother, what is he doing?" Lin Muwan picked up the notebook with an anxious expression on his face.
Jiang Cheng signaled Lin Muwan not to panic, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, for now, your brother will not be in any danger."
In fact, what he said was a bit against his will. Judging from Lin Muyun's appearance, he was out of danger because he was not in danger.
Just when Jiang Cheng was about to say something more, his constantly moving eyes suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, as if he had discovered something extremely abnormal, he even stopped breathing for half a beat.
Lin Muwan noticed Jiang Cheng's slightly changed expression, and his expression also became tense.
But when she followed Jiang Cheng's line of sight, it was still the same scene.
The elder brother still maintained the previous posture, as numb as a sculpture.
She didn't find any trace of the murderer or Yuan Xiaotian.
Lin Muwan also had a bad feeling about their disappearance.
After the investigation was fruitless, Lin Muwan finally chose to ask Jiangcheng for help.
But this time, as soon as she picked up the notebook, before she could start writing, a hand reached out and pushed her pen aside.
Jiang Cheng stood up slowly, and then pressed Lin Muwan's head with his hand, exerting a little force, apparently wanting her to half-kneel in front of him.
Lin Muwan didn't know why, so he looked puzzled at where Jiang Cheng was. Jiang Cheng patted her and motioned her not to look at him, but to look outside the door.
Lin Muwan's current location is the location where Jiangcheng was just now.
"The third bookshelf from the left." Jiang Cheng's voice had a strange taste, which made Lin Muwan instinctively uneasy.
Looking towards the location indicated by Jiang Cheng, Lin Muwan found the third bookshelf on the left.
The bookshelf is huge, and it is just opposite to the row of desks where Lin Muyun is squatting, with a distance of about 4 or 5 meters between the two.
Lin Muwan also paid close attention to this bookshelf just now, but found nothing unusual.
There are not many books on the bookshelf, they are sparsely arranged, and there are a few decorative vases.
The gap between the books is relatively large, and you can see behind the bookshelf at a glance, and there is no person or anything else hidden.
"Next." Jiang Cheng's voice sounded again.
Lin Muwan didn't know what Jiang Cheng meant, but along the way, she developed a strange sense of trust in Jiang Cheng. As soon as he said it, she habitually followed it.
The line of sight slowly moved down until it stopped at the bottom of the bookshelf.
In the next second, Lin Muwan's pupils suddenly dilated, and then shrank into a gap.
She saw it!
On the bottom floor of the bookshelf, at the back, stood a pair of black leather boots.
The toe of the leather boot is facing the brother's position!
There's someone behind the bookshelf!
No, it's not a human, it's a murderer!No wonder my brother behaved so abnormally, it turned out that he was being targeted by a murderer.
But why didn't it attack his brother?
Are you waiting for something?
Jiang Cheng naturally didn't have time to figure out Lin Muwan's psychological activities. After seeing the pair of boots that the murderer hid behind the bookshelf, Jiang Cheng immediately realized the reason for Lin Muyun's actions.
He stuck his back firmly against the wall, just to prevent the killer from standing behind him.
Before Xia Qiang died, he used this method.
In the last call, Xia Qiang did not hesitate to give him any useful information, and told him everything.
Lin Muyun is smarter than he imagined.
It's a pity that if he doesn't use external force, he will still die.
Jiang Cheng stared at the pair of leather boots hidden behind the bookshelf, he understood what the murderer was waiting for.
It is waiting for Yuan Xiaotian!
Just like killing Xia Qiang, Yuan Xiaotian's resurrected body will come here soon.
Then Yuan Xiaotian made a move and dragged out Lin Muyun whose back was close to the wall. After that, Lin Muyun would be trampled on by the shadow and killed.
"Perhaps his death will be the worst among all of them." Such an irrelevant speculation popped up in Jiang Cheng's mind for no reason.
It was Jiang Cheng's subconscious behavior to notice the gap under the bookshelf. After all, Jiang Cheng had noticed the abnormality in this aspect when he was in Room 19.
The visibility of the murderer is not very high. More often than not, it appears in a hidden state, and its existence can only be noticed from a certain angle.
Those boots are its distinguishing feature.
The situation was urgent, so Jiang Cheng didn't have much time to think. When Yuan Xiaotian arrived, Lin Muyun would be dead.
He first stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Lin Muwan's neck hard, first to remind her, and second, to do so would relieve some of her tension.
When Lin Muwan raised his head, his face was frighteningly pale, as if all the blood had faded, and his thin lips kept trembling.
"I'll figure out a way." Staring into Lin Muwan's eyes, Jiang Cheng said softly, "You stay here and wait for me."
Lin Muwan was naturally aware of the danger Jiangcheng was about to encounter, so he shook his head violently, grabbed his notebook, and immediately wrote, "I'll go with you!"
Jiang Cheng put on a stern tone: "You stay here to help me keep an eye on the movement around me. Yuan Xiaotian hasn't appeared yet, so I'm worried that he's hiding somewhere, waiting to attack us."
When Jiang Cheng was not talking nonsense, he looked like a gentleman. For a while, Lin Muwan couldn't tell whether what the man said was true or just perfunctory out of good intentions.
Jiang Cheng didn't give her a chance to continue thinking, so he stretched out his hand, gently opened the safety door, and then slipped out with a dodge.
Then tiptoe along the wall, there are some billboards standing nearby, which is a good cover.
While observing the situation, he called out from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Wu, how are you? If you are not busy, please come out and say something. Long time no see. I have always missed you in my heart."
