Ji Chengpeng's heart was in his throat, his right index finger was on the trigger, his muscles were tense, and he was staring ahead attentively.

The swaying frequency of the dwarf tree was a little higher, and the branches were rising and falling, making a lot of noise. But the next moment, the dwarf tree suddenly became quiet and motionless.

Ji Chengpeng was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses after a while, frowned and walked forward with full vigilance.

Walking to the edge of the dense forest, Ji Chengpeng took a deep breath, and while continuing to point the gun in front of him, he freed one hand to pull out the telescopic stick from his belt, and carefully moved the branches in front of him.

There is nothing in the canopy.

Mao Ning'an also stepped forward cautiously: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, there must be something hidden in the woods, but...be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the tree crown and rushed towards Mao Ning'an at an extremely fast speed.

Ji Chengpeng had quick eyes and quick hands. As soon as he said the word "be careful", the telescopic stick in his left hand had already hit the black shadow hard, hitting the black shadow's back squarely.

The black shadow fell to the ground in pain and let out a strange cry of anger. He stood up and grinned at Ji Chengpeng.

"Monkey?" Ji Chengpeng was stunned.

Is this the Juying that Qi Yi was talking about? But something is wrong. Isn’t it that Juying is covered in black hair, has a huge head, and can’t see its eyes, ears, and nose? This is clearly an ordinary yellow-haired monkey in front of me. Is there something wrong?

Ji Chengpeng's thoughts were racing, and besides being puzzled, he was also thinking of ways to catch the monkey.

The yellow-haired monkey didn't seem to be afraid of people at all. After scratching his back and baring his teeth for a while, he actually walked towards Ji Chengpeng with steps that he didn't recognize, patted his pocket and stretched out his hand, as if asking for something, with a very unbeatable expression.

Ji Chengpeng was happy, but while he was on guard, he quietly gestured to Mao Ning'an to give him a rope.

Mao Ning'an immediately went through the survey box and handed him a thin hemp rope. After taking the rope, Ji Chengpeng put away his gun and swinging stick, and with lightning speed, he suddenly reached out and pinched the monkey's neck.

He pushed it down on its back and quickly tied its hands and feet together.

The monkey obviously didn't expect this, and struggled and roared angrily, but it didn't happen. Ji Chengpeng's hands and feet were very quick, and he tied it tightly in a short time, making it unable to move.

At this moment, there was another rustling sound in the dense forest nearby.

Ji Chengpeng turned his head sharply and quickly drew his gun: "Who!"

"Uh..." Lao Chi, who had just emerged from the woods, was frightened and raised his hands instinctively: "You are on your own, Master, put down the gun, be careful of misfire..."

Ji Chengpeng was happy, and immediately put away the gun, looked at him, and asked: "Why are you in such a mess?"

But no, Lao Chi was in a very embarrassed state right now. His clothes were in tatters, his hair was covered with grass roots and leaves, and his arm had a small cut.

"Stop talking, there was a steep slope over there in the forest, and I almost slipped into the river..." Lao Chisheng shook his head helplessly, and suddenly noticed the monkey at Ji Chengpeng's feet, and his attention was immediately attracted: "Huh?

This is...Master, have you caught Guiying? That's awesome! Eh...there seems to be something wrong?"

"There's something wrong," Qi Yi stepped forward, squatted down and grabbed the rope to lift the monkey up. As a result, the half-human monkey was heavier than he expected and it was a bit difficult, so he simply put it down again.

"If you read it correctly, this is the Emei Tibetan Ebony Monkey. It is several times larger than Jueying and its shape is also different."

Lao Chi muttered: "Annoying Emei monkey...wait, where have you heard this name before?"

Qi Yi ignored the monkey grinning at him and walked half a circle around it: "The severed fingers in the crow in Gaohuicheng's belly and the corpse oil smeared in the corpse cabinet all came from Emei Tibetan chief monkeys."

"Oh, yes, yes, I remembered it!" Lao Chi changed the subject: "Where did this monkey, Master, come from?"

Ji Chengpeng told them what happened just now.

Qi Yi felt that the matter was not simple, so he took a candy from his pocket and threw it into the monkey's mouth: "It stands to reason that this forest is not in line with the habits of Emei monkeys, and they usually come in groups. How come there is only one?"

It just doesn’t feel right. Captain Ji, have you searched the woods?"

"No, but there has been no movement for a long time. I guess it is the only one."

Mao Ning'an was not very interested in this monkey: "Tie it up and take it back to study. It's getting late. Why don't we take a look at this unfinished building as planned?"

"Yeah, that's fine." Qi Yi didn't have any objections. The reason why they gathered here was that they felt that this case was too weird, and the games played by the older children were not quite right, so they wanted to come over at night and try to restore the scene.

While walking into the unfinished building, Lao Chi complained: "I still think those people are seriously ill. It's good to go to the Internet cafe all night at night. Come here for excitement... No matter how adventurous you are, you won't be crazy.

Is it to this extent? I would say they must have been intoxicated by the murderer."

Ji Chengpeng glanced at him sideways: "Listen to what you mean, do you think the murderer is the initiator of the game?"

"Yes." Lao Chi asked, "Have you found that guy?"

"Found it."

Lao Chi's eyes lit up: "Who?"

"Gu Zhao, the one who died the worst."

Lao Chi was confused: "What? The person who died was the sponsor? No way..."

After a pause, he continued: "Then the one with acne on his face...what's his name? I think he's quite suspicious. Although he said it was just a game, the way he died was too tragic, and it felt very...

He has strong malice, and among the nine people participating in the game, he is the only one who seems to be fine. I wonder..."

"Don't think about it." Qi Yi interrupted him: "If you keep being so preconceived, sooner or later the direction of the investigation will be completely led astray by you."

Lao Chi looked unconvinced, but he still calmed down and followed Qi Yi obediently.

The unfinished building at night is even more eerie than during the day. There are countless insects and frogs hidden in the weeds and vines in the building, and they scream one after another, making people upset.

Even Qi Yi felt that if he came here to play werewolf in the middle of the night, he would definitely be seriously ill.

Quickly walking into the dark room, Ji Chengpeng grabbed the flashlight and scanned it twice, and finally dropped it to the ground. The huge talisman drawn with blood looked even weirder at night.

After looking at the formation talisman for a few times, Lao Chi couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his sweat: "Strange, why do I feel that this room is much hotter than outside? It was obviously not that exaggerated in the morning. I remember Luo Rongchang seemed to complain about the stuffiness before he was eliminated?

"

Qi Yi said: "Xishao, this room faces west and has been illuminated by the sun all afternoon. The walls are not made of insulating bricks and there are no windows. The heat cannot escape, so of course it will be hot."

The temperature in the room was definitely over 40 degrees. After several people walked around in it twice, they were sweating profusely and their clothes and hair were wet.

There is no grass growing in this room, probably because there is no light and it is too stuffy.

"Something's wrong..." Mao Ning'an said: "Even in the early morning, the temperature in this room probably won't drop much. How could those children endure it? And there weren't a few sweat stains found on the scene... They wouldn't feel hot.

Of?"
