Chapter [57]: Mysterious Kidnapping
So since there is no possibility of death from swimming, there are only two directions that are most likely to be left.
One is to kill him and the other is to commit suicide.
If the victim committed suicide, it would be very strange. After all, since he was determined to die, why should he choose to beat himself seriously injured and then jump into the sea?
Besides, I really can't see someone with such a firm will. If he has the ability to make himself look like this, why doesn't he have the will to live?
Then all the clues next point in one direction.
Then it's him killing.
The death of this corpse was within five hours. In this way, the murderer must have thrown the corpses into the water within five hours. However, the behavior of throwing the corpses into the sea in the early morning was irrational. After all, all the water was still in a state of ebb.
To throw the body, you must find a high tide water surface.
Moreover, the behavior of throwing the body must be completed that night. Once dawn is coming, his behavior is likely to be discovered.
Thinking about it this way, I figured out another point.
The murderer was not the fool in his impression, nor was he a reckless man, but on the contrary, he was very smart in thinking, but he was not sure about the details.
The murderer must have chosen another location to throw the body.
Thinking of this, I closed my eyes again and began to think about where else is suitable for throwing corpses nearby.
If the sea area in front of you belongs to the downstream, there will definitely be upstream and tidal forces flushing from top to bottom. The local ** will naturally not go there, so there will be no need, although there will definitely be a reservoir or power station.
Moreover, because the tidal force upstream is relatively surging, the left hand can also be sure to wash the body to the shore when throwing it away.
In this way, my inference is still valid. There are indeed other places nearby that can be used to throw corpses, and the location is upstream!
Thinking of this, I naturally didn't stop and hurriedly called another tricycle to rush upstream.
I rushed upstream in a hurry, but found that this place was rarely visited and there were lanes on both sides. There were all kinds of cars coming and going every day. It was like finding a needle in a haystack to find a place to throw a body in such a place.
"Where is the clue?"
I did not give up, and walked forward with doubts, trying to find the most suitable place to throw the body.
Any place in the entire lake shoreline may become a place for the body to be thrown away, and the upstream is a huge hydropower station. Due to human interference, all the water flow will be in one direction, the flow rate is faster than before, and there is no diversion.
I feel that my efforts have been wasted.
Grit your teeth and continue moving forward. After all, I have just been appointed as the guardian of the temple. I also hope to achieve some results in a short period of time so that the people around me will have drugs. The dealer trusts themselves as soon as possible, and the sooner they can gain their trust.
Just as I was standing on the shore thinking, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. I subconsciously turned around, but my head was hit by a blunt weapon and fainted.
During the next period, I felt like I was being transported continuously. I woke up a few times in the middle, but I couldn't move all over. Except for the fact that I was tied with shackles and ropes, my limbs couldn't use any strength.
It was initially speculated that the person who kidnapped me used the nerve paralysis agent on me, but what made me even more curious was why this person chose to capture himself alive? He could have killed someone before, but now he could naturally kill another person, but he did not do so, but left a living mouth.
When I woke up again, my eyes turned dark and I vaguely felt that I was covered in a sack on my head. The man didn't want me to notice the direction of the car.
A quarter of an hour later, I was pushed out of the car and vaguely felt my head touching the ground. The ground was covered with sand and noisy sounds coming from around me. I vaguely felt that I had arrived at an abandoned factory.
It's very suitable to tie me here.
In the next few minutes, I felt like I was being tossed and kept searching. I searched my body, then untied the rope on my body, and then tied me to a chair with iron chains.
Until this time, the person who had been tormenting me took off the sack that was worn on my head.
I opened my eyes and glare, which made me feel indifferent to the scene in front of me. I had to close my eyes and adapted slightly in a few seconds.
Then I realized that I was tied to an iron chair, and in front of me was a simple wooden table, with a dim light bulb on my head shaking left and right. This was the only light source in this room.
What made me even more strange was that there was no window in this room, as if I was worried that I would run away.
Because the room was very poorly ventilated, there was a smell of chemicals and rust around it, which made me want to find something to block my nose immediately.
The person who kidnapped me sat opposite the table, but the other party was always in the shadow, so it was difficult for me to see his true face clearly.
"Who are you?"
As I said, I gritted my teeth and struggled hard, and the iron chains on my body jingled.
Even if I was able to successfully break free from the chain, such a loud noise was enough to attract people's attention. Now I knew that I was completely and was in a dead end.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are."
The man sitting opposite said slowly, and a dagger was placed on the wooden table in front of him. The dagger was very rough in shape, and the hilt of the dagger was carved from wood.
However, due to long-term use, the shank of the dagger has been severely worn and there are still signs of bumping in many places, but a pattern printed on the shank attracted my attention.
This pattern should have been carved on the wooden board with ulterior motives, and it seems to be a symbol of some kind, but I can't see this angle very clearly, and I can only vaguely see a vulture pattern.
I swallowed my saliva and knew that the person in front of me was definitely not joking with me. The meaning of my action was also very clear. If I don’t cooperate well, I will be a dead person in the next second.
"I believe who I am, you should be very clear."
I lowered my voice and said, hoping that the person in front of me could react. I am the famous guardian of the temple.
But it was obvious that this idea was still too naive. The mysterious man sitting opposite him seemed to disagree, but instead thought I was ridiculous.
He laughed in a low voice, the voice echoing in the empty room, never dissipating for a long time.
"Yes, of course I know you are the so-called guardian of the temple."
The person who was talking stood up and began to pace slowly in the room.
"You have changed from an ordinary person to a temple guardian in less than a week and have received additional preferential treatment... What makes me even more strange is that when you first entered the village, you found a group of thugs attacked, and I'm very sure you were kidnapped."
I was shocked when I heard this. I didn't expect that the man in front of me would know so much about the whole story.
"I was indeed caught, but I escaped later on with my own ability."
But it was obvious that my words could not fool the man, and the other party burst into laughter again.
"You, you are just too naive. Do you really think I don't know who those people were who kidnapped you? They are the masters of the Snake Temple, and I can assure you that they will definitely be much more ruthless than me."
I was silent.
But the man continued to talk.
"The Viper Temple is like a devil in our local area. Basically, the people they kidnapped are almost the same as those who died, but what was surprising was that after you kidnapped there, you didn't long before you appeared at the entrance of the village for no reason and were rescued by Ma Yao's guards."
The mysterious man was silent when he said this, as if he was thinking about something, and seemed to be waiting for me to speak, but in the end he still couldn't get the answer he wanted, so he had to sigh helplessly.
"You still won't tell me the truth."
I was a little nervous when I heard this.
After all, bloodthirsty lunatics are easy to deal with, and speculative businessmen are easy to deal with. They all have their own goals and their goals are very clear. Through the purposes they need, they can easily deceive them or apply intelligence.
But I can't guess the man in front of me and don't know what he wants.
One is not for making money, nor is it for killing people, or he hopes that through this torture, he can find something useful?
Seeing that I was silent, the mysterious man continued to say.
"You are the most special person I have met in the past ten years, but don't misunderstand it. What I am talking about is not how special your qualities are or how smart you are. But I am curious how you, an outsider, can be protected by so many forces?"
I didn't answer.
"You still don't speak? Do you want me to talk to you? But unfortunately, I have investigated you for a long time and can't figure out what you are doing. There are many people who can get the protection of Ma Yao, but I'm even more curious, how did you gain the trust of the Viper Temple?"
The mysterious man was walking around like a madman, knocking on the wall rhythmically while walking, and he was puzzled.
"If you don't say it, I'll tell you for you."
The mysterious man finally stood up, as if he had figured out something. Although he was in the shadow, I could still guess that he must be particularly proud.
"It is well known that the Temple of Viper God appeared to overthrow Ma Yao's rule, but there are too few things they can do. There are still some local officials behind Ma Yao to support him, so they need someone who can play both black and white to join forces with him in order to defeat Ma Yao in an internal and external manner."
Hearing this, I took a breath, and I didn't expect that the person in front of me was so familiar with the current situation that even the few-known Poison Temple could speak out.
"So since I'm right, it's up to you to say it next."
When the mysterious man said this, he turned around and picked up his dagger and played with it in his hands. Although his tone and his actions were always calm, he could not guarantee that he would do something extraordinary in the next second.
