A thin wooden door was kicked open, and a loud "bang" shook off the thick dust on the door lintel.
There was no light in the dark basement, but Daniel rushed in regardless and shouted anxiously: "Charles!!"
But the only thing that responded to him was his own reply.
He turned on the light and saw the empty basement, and his heart suddenly felt as cold and trembling as if he had fallen into an abyss.
Charles and Jessica are gone!
He stood helpless in front of the chair where Charles had been bound, dazed and at a loss.
Where did Jessica take Charles!?
With a feeling that made him feel uneasy, he followed the instinct of an agent and looked down to see if there were any suspicious clues left behind.
Sure enough, there were some drag marks on the light dust on the ground.
It is enough to prove that Jessica dragged Charles away from the scene.
He immediately rushed out of the basement and ran quickly to the door.
A red convertible parked at the door was missing. It was Jessica's car.
Daniel immediately took out his mobile phone, pressed a phone number, and immediately ordered to the other end of the phone seriously and nervously: "Jim, I want you to help me check the whereabouts of a car right now. The license plate number is 51419!"
…
…………
The car sped along the dimly lit streets.
At night, a new bustling bustle began in the city center. No one noticed how pale the expression on the face of the man who was speeding up in a silver car.
"Boss, I called up the surveillance cameras on all the highways and found the whereabouts of the car you are looking for. It was driving all the way to the city center. There were two people in the car. The speed was too fast and the specific appearance was unclear. But that
After the car entered an alley, it took fifteen minutes for it to leave the alley. After leaving the alley,"
"Where is that alley?"
The conversation with Jim just now kept echoing in my mind.
His heart seemed to be frightened repeatedly by Jim's words, "After leaving the alley, the driver was the only one left in the car."
Did Jessica dump Charles in that alley?
Is Charles dead or alive?!
Many scary pictures and thoughts kept filling his mind. Daniel didn't dare to think about it any more because he didn't want to scare himself.
Charles, you must be okay!
With this unswerving thought, he stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the car suddenly sprinted towards the destination like an arrow off the string.
…
…………
There was only a little bit of moonlight left in the dark alley to illuminate it, but it was still not enough. The vision in front of me was still dim, secluded and deep.
There was a sound of rustling footsteps, stepping slowly on the gravel-covered ground.
He used the lighting device on his mobile phone, and a beam of white light illuminated the road ahead of him.
Searching for any clues in the only white light, his heart beat tremblingly, for fear that the beam of light in front of him would illuminate a cold body lying somewhere.
When he reached the middle of the alley, he suddenly caught a glimpse of some strange scratches on the ground.
Squatting down in front of the scratches, he looked carefully and found that they were marks caused by tires spinning wildly on the ground. And right next to his feet, there was a pool of dark, scarlet liquid.
He gently wiped it with his fingertips and rubbed it between two fingers, only to realize that it was blood!
Was Charles killed here? Was the blood Charles's?
With his heart beating in horror, he subconsciously shined the light of his mobile phone on the wall.
The wall also has some impact marks and cracks.
He took a photo of both sides with his phone and discovered something else.
Standing up quickly, he walked to a low wall and saw several traces of climbing.
At this time, two voices suddenly came from the other side of the low wall.
"Raise the wall a little higher, otherwise a thief will come into the house next time!"
"Why didn't you say that the thief came to see you?"
"The child's father, I swear, I am loyal to you and I have absolutely no abnormal relationship with the handsome guy next door!"
"My child's father, you spilled the beans!"
Hearing these two voices, Daniel immediately took a few steps back. After another run-up, his feet suddenly stepped on the wall quickly and quickly, and climbed to the top of the wall in the blink of an eye with his neat and vigorous skills.
No effort required.
Under the wall, two men wearing identical pajamas were arguing. At their feet were two buckets of cement, dozens of stone bricks and two shoveling tools.
"I...are you going to bully me again?" One of the men angrily pointed at the man in front of him and said aggrievedly.
"It's you who told the truth about yourself. Tell me, what's your relationship with that beast next door?" Another man hugged his waist domineeringly and ordered fiercely.
"Where...where is the relationship? Didn't I just promise to have a meal with him, go shopping once, and watch a movie with him once? We didn't even hold hands, so there is no relationship at all!"
"You..." The domineering man wanted to yell angrily at the person in his arms, but his words suddenly stalled.
As if he was surprised by something, he stiffly turned his head and looked at the top of the wall.
Seeing the surprised expression on the man in front of him, the man in his arms immediately followed his gaze to the wall suspiciously.
At this moment, even he was shocked!
The moonlight was eerie and the surroundings were quiet.
On the top of the wall, a black shadow squatted there like a ferocious beast. The dim light made it difficult to see his appearance. His unexpected appearance shocked the two men under the wall who were still bickering and playing tricks.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you! Excuse me, have you seen any suspicious strangers today?" Daniel looked down at the two men apologetically and asked politely.
"No, no, no!" The man in his arms shook his head like a twang in fear.
"Really? Then...excuse me..." Daniel's eyes dimmed in disappointment, and then he jumped off the other end of the wall.
Seeing Daniel's figure disappearing from the wall, the domineering man suddenly couldn't help but angrily yelled: "Damn it, there are so many people climbing the wall these days!"
"Uh? Are you talking about me?" The man in his arms suddenly blurted out a question.
…
…………
After turning over and jumping back to where he was, Daniel sighed deeply.
We can’t find out the whereabouts of Charles, but we can at least guess that he should have escaped from here...
Through the wall, Daniel could not help but feel disappointed when he heard the two men on the other end bickering with each other.
Once upon a time, he had quarreled with Charles day and night, and the two of them were like enemies when they met, but since when did he miss Charles so much?
He could not tell whether Charles was alive or dead.
Now, he can only carry that slim hope and uneasy premonition, and follow Jessica's clue to find Charles. No matter what, he has to find him, regardless of whether he is still alive...
