It was a very short and suppressed gasp of a person, hoarse, as if someone's throat had been suddenly cut off and let out the last cry.
I turned and pressed my face closer to the wall, desperately looking up at the second floor where the sound came from.
Almost in a few seconds, Su Wick's face turned blue and he stumbled out of Chen Baozhu. From my angle, I couldn't see what happened in the room, but I didn't see Zheng Zhiwei again.
After this night, Zheng Zhiwei was never seen alive again.
Su Yu took several steps back, his back facing me, and shouted towards the door: "Madman! Madman! Murderer! You set up a trap in advance! All these people were killed by you! Are you sick? You're sick! Lured us to your house, then... killed us!"
In my heart, there was a crack that was rapidly expanding. In an instant, it linked all the moments of this night together, and they formed a vast lake. I understood everything.
As a "bookworm", it was she who revealed the situation of the treasure hidden at home to Zheng Zhiwei.
Since childhood, she has been living under oppression and neglect, even like Feng Yan, who was controlled by her mother for a long time.
She was forced to change her career and go to work, she was also the one who ruthlessly parted with the only person in her life that she had ever loved passionately.
She was the one who abused and killed small animals.
When the family members were tortured, she began to claim "Mom told me every treasure location", it was her; in fact, no one else heard the old lady's words. If the "treasure" is prepared in advance, for a while, no one can distinguish between true and false.
It was also she who led each wicked person into a trap.
……
A long time later, when I think back to this night, I still feel that Su Wei must have regretted her decision to rob the Chen family before she died. They all thought they had chosen their victims, but in reality, from start to finish, it was they who were chosen. They were selected by that lonely, introverted, clever and twisted girl to play the role of "bad guys" in her heroic family fantasy, and then one by one, she hunted them down.
……
Chen Baozhu's figure appeared at the door of the room. Despite being covered in injuries, her expression and spirit were completely like those of a different person. The one who had finally gone crazy, finally revealing her true self.
She held a bow and arrow in her hand, which looked very solid and lethal. An arrow was placed on the bow, with a sharp metal tip. There was also a quiver on her back. Just now, Zheng Zhiwei wasn't careful for a moment, and his throat was pierced by such an arrow?
Chen Baozhu was smiling, but her eyes were full of excitement and childlike frenzy. I guessed she must have been practicing archery for a long time to prepare for this night.
She didn't hear Su Wei's accusation at all, but just shouted: "You gang of robbers! You've harmed my family! I want revenge! I want to rescue them!"
Su Yu's face turned ugly as he hastily retreated backwards, his emotions clearly having suffered a great shock. At this moment, he happened to retreat to the door of Chen Ruyin's room and started pounding on it loudly, wanting to call out for help.
Chen Baozhu didn't care at all and had already strung her bow.
However, contrary to Su Yu's expectations and probably everyone else's, Chen Ruying's door was tightly closed, without a single sound or anyone coming out.
Su Yu's face was incredulous, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he turned around and rushed downstairs frantically. I also stared intently at the tightly closed door. Ten Chen Ruyin might not be a match for those two sturdy thugs. But now, what exactly happened inside?
I suddenly remembered what Wu Yu had said, and I paid attention to Chen Ruyin and Feng Yan who also got off the boat. One of them might have mutated. I looked at Feng Yan, she was still sitting on the sofa, her hands tightly grasping the armrests, looking very tense and worried. At least she seemed normal.
What about Chen Ruying?
