Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

Chapter 80: Confused
"The first question is, why are you here?" Du Heng began to interrogate.

"Xia He and Shen Chong asked us to come."

"When?"

"Yesterday."

"What are you doing here?"

Li Hong's eyes flickered, as if she was considering whether to say it or not, weighing the pros and cons.

Du Heng and Gao Yuxuan were not in a hurry. They even brought two small stools, sat down and stared at her quietly, exerting invisible pressure on her.

After a while.

Li Hong decided to actively transform and asked, "Guarding the chips?"

Hearing this, Du Heng raised his eyebrows. He remembered that after the three of them had a disagreement, Li Hong said that this place had been exposed and there was no need to continue guarding the chips.

When using Dong Ruo Guan You to investigate the situation, he sensed four Qi in total, three of which were from He Bing, Li Hong and Xia Fang, and one very weak Qi, which should be the bargaining chip she mentioned.

He looked at Gao Yuxuan and continued to ask, "What are the chips?"

"The body of a boy."

Upon hearing this, the two of them had a gleam in their eyes. They finally got some useful information, but they also became more aware that things were not simple.

"where?"

"Roof."

Upon hearing this, Du Heng nodded secretly to Gao Yuxuan, indicating that the location was consistent with his own perception of Qi, and the other party had not lied.

He did not immediately go up to the rooftop to confirm. Anyway, the body could not escape. He had to deal with things one by one. Right now, the most important thing was to interrogate Li Hong.

“Why call a dead boy’s body a bargaining chip?”

"I don't know. We also heard it from Xia He and Shen Chong."

“Who killed the child?”

"I don't know."

"What is the identity of the child?"

"I don't know."

"Then where did Xia He and Shen Chong go?"

"I don't know."

Anyway, no matter how Du Heng asked, Li Hong knew nothing about the clues related to the boy and the four madmen.

This made Du Heng and Gao Yuxuan look unhappy. They thought they could get more useful information after asking the boy, but... that's it?

He stared at Li Hong coldly and said in a deep voice: "You are making it very difficult for me to deal with this."

"Please believe me. What I said is true. The four madmen sent us a message the day before yesterday. After arriving here, they only asked us to guard the boy's body."

Suddenly, Du Heng interrupted her with a wave of his hand, keenly aware of the loophole in her words, and said, "Wait, didn't you just say that the four crazy people asked you to come yesterday?"

"I sent the message the night before yesterday. We were still in Gan Province at that time, so we only arrived yesterday."

The words fell.

Du Heng narrowed his eyes, pinched his chin, and murmured, "This is interesting. The four crazy people sent you a message the day before yesterday, which means they were here at the time. But the information we got showed that the four crazy people only showed up outside the community yesterday. Who do you think I should believe?"

At this time, a prompt sound came from the mobile phone, and Er Zhuang sent a message in the group.

"I just hacked into her phone and found that four crazy people did send them messages the day before yesterday. In addition, the flight information from yesterday also matches."

Then, she uploaded the relevant chat records and flight schedule to the group, asking Du Heng and Gao Yuxuan to confirm that Li Hong was not lying.

"Tsk tsk, this is getting more and more interesting. Although we cannot confirm the exact time when the four crazy people arrived here, it is enough that they arrived earlier than the time we know."

"What do you mean?" Gao Yuxuan asked. "Think about it, the four crazy people clearly arrived here earlier than we knew, but they revealed their whereabouts later. If they came to this community at the first time and were accidentally captured by the camera, it would be understandable, but it happened yesterday. This is too careless and totally inconsistent."

Hearing this, Gao Yuxuan also understood, "You mean, the four crazy people intentionally revealed their whereabouts?"

"Is it intentional not to know? But it is definitely not unintentional. I am afraid there is another hidden story."

"It seems that we have to find Xia He and Shen Chong, and the truth will naturally come out."

"Uh-huh!"

Du Heng nodded and turned his gaze back to Li Hong. Seeing that she had limited information and had nothing to ask, he slowly extended two fingers towards her.

"What do you want to do?"

Li Hong showed signs of panic and fear, and her body moved backwards involuntarily, but the Biyuan needle had pierced into the Du meridian, so she could not muster any strength.

"Don't worry, I'll let you have a good rest!" Du Heng smiled and flicked her forehead with his finger, and Li Hong fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Afterwards, He Bing was awakened and asked the same questions.

He refused to cooperate at first, but when he learned that Li Hong had confessed everything, he no longer insisted and answered questions in detail. In the end, his answers were exactly the same as Li Hong's, proving that neither of them was lying.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the two had agreed on their statements in advance, but if that were the case, why would they sell out their teammates, leading to Xia Fang's death?

He knocked He Bing unconscious again, stood up and said, "Let's go, we should go check out the boy's body, maybe we can get something else."

Gao Yuxuan also stood up, smoothed her skirt, and looked at him with her beautiful eyes without blinking, releasing a charming charm.

She slowly approached Du Heng with her tall body, a white jade finger pressed against his chest, and her seductive red lips uttered an intoxicating sound.

"It is said that a man who devotes himself to a task is the most attractive. I didn't believe it before, but after seeing you doing it, Xiao Hengheng, I am really fascinated by you."

"Sister Xuan, please stop messing around!" Du Heng's whole body was tense and he looked very unnatural.

Ever since I learned that she wanted to suck my blood, it has become difficult to flirt with her and I unconsciously keep a certain distance from her.

"Xiao Hengheng, you're really hurting me by doing this. Didn't I tell you before that I would never do it unless you are willing?" Gao Yuxuan's fingers slowly slid up from his chest, hooked his chin, left a charming smile, and walked towards the top floor.

"call!"

Du Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about how he almost fell for her lies, he cursed himself for being an animal who thinks with his lower body.

He silently recited the core socialist values ​​once again to calm himself down before quickly following.

On the top floor.

Unlike some families living in small Western-style buildings with open-air roofs, the roof is covered with bricks and tiles.

As soon as you step out of the stairs.

The two were so frightened by the strange and creepy scene before them that they trembled and felt the temperature around them drop a lot. An inexplicable chill surged from the bottom of their hearts.

Humans are social animals. When they encounter a hostile environment, they will automatically huddle together for warmth. Du Heng and Gao Yuxuan are no exception. They involuntarily move their bodies closer together.

They saw a boy about ten years old hanging on the beam. His face was blue, his eyes were wide open as if they were about to burst, and he was staring at the two of them.

"How cruel! They hanged a little boy here!"

"Who is the murderer? Could it be the four crazy people who did it?"

"Why did Xia He and Shen Chong call this corpse a bargaining chip? Are they trying to make a deal with someone?"

Gao Yuxuan, who had recovered, looked at the corpse in front of her, frowned and asked herself repeatedly.

Du Heng at the side was also staring at the boy. It was the way the boy died that seemed a little familiar to him.

"Hanged from the beam." Du Heng muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning passed through my mind, as if I remembered something.
