[, successfully pass the level]

Xiao Lou sat on the wooden bed, pricking up his ears and listening to the movement outside.

There was no glass window in the dim cell, and he could only see the light in the corridor outside through the fence on the iron door. He waited for a long time and suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The other party was wearing flat sneakers, not leather shoes, and his footsteps on the ceramic tiles were very light.

Xiao Lou raised his head and looked at the iron window. In a blink of an eye, the man had already arrived at the door of cell No. 1, and the two of them looked at each other through the fence. It was indeed Xiao Wu, the young police officer who was internship with Yu Hanjiang.

Xiao Lou had long felt strange. How could Yu Hanjiang come to the scene so quickly after Xu Mingyue called the police last night? With the distance between the criminal police team and the Conservatory of Music, it took at least an hour to drive over. Obviously, he and Xiao Wu were nearby at that time.

This is to avoid being too coincidental.

Moreover, the hunter could accurately grasp the progress of the case investigation and frame him. Xiao Lou always felt that there was an insider in the police force and participated in the investigation of the case, so he sent Yu Hanjiang away and wanted to lead that person out.

Now, the inner demon has indeed appeared.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment when he looked up at Xiaolou. He soon smiled and said respectfully: "Professor Xiao, Team Yu went to the Medical University and asked me to help take care of you. If you have any needs, you can tell me directly. Don't worry, once Team Yu catches the murderer, you will be acquitted."

Xiao Lou stood up, walked to the iron gate, and asked in a low voice: "Can Yu Hanjiang catch the murderer?"

Xiao Wu said without hesitation: "Of course..."

Xiao Lou looked at him: "Oh? Didn't you inform and let your companions escape quickly?"

The smile on Xiao Wu's face froze slightly: "What does Professor Xiao mean?"

Xiao Lou chuckled and said, "Stop pretending, dare to come to me openly. You have destroyed the surveillance camera in cell No. 1." His tone was very firm and his eyes were very calm.

Xiao Wu's face darkened. His appearance looked only in his 20s. He usually looked like a newly graduated college student, with a green face. But at this moment, his eyes suddenly became cold and sharp, as if he had been possessed by another person, and his voice also brought a hint of hoarseness: "Did you know it long ago?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "In this world, the number of hunters will not be fewer than challengers. Therefore, the third hunter must be by Yu Hanjiang's side, so that the progress of the case can be grasped at any time."

Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows: "It's a pity, you know it too late."

After saying that, he suddenly took out a gun from his pocket and pointed the muzzle at Xiao Lou's head.

The criminal policeman could get a gun, but he sent off his colleagues and killing Xiao Lou was simply easy.

Xiao Lou was pointed at the head by a gun, but his expression was not panicked. He looked into the other party's eyes and said slowly: "This world is the world of red peaches. I guess your task is to find ways to frame me and Liu Qiao to prison, and use the police's hands to get rid of us, instead of killing us directly. It seems that you are already in trouble, so you will take action in front of me?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe Xiao Lou could guess so much.

His expression also gave Xiao Lou an answer - the World of Red Peach. Sure enough, there are some potential rules. Xiao Wu is now coming to assassinate him directly, obviously because of helpless "bottom-strike". If he passes the challenger, he will definitely not get a level A or above evaluation. Xiao Lou is not clear at the moment.

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "I guessed it right? If you kill me directly, you won't be able to pass the level perfectly, right?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly, he seemed to think of some key, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "I don't want to waste words with you. You are the captain of the team. No matter what method you use, it's enough to make you die!"

He did not waste time with Xiao Lou anymore, and simply pulled the trigger.

This hand-gun uses a sound-silencing device and will not alarm others. Xiao Lou did not expect Xiao Wu to be so decisive and fired the gun. In an instant, Xiao Lou felt a "buzzing" sound in his mind, and a sudden dizziness came from him, and warm blood flowed down his forehead, blurring his vision.

There was a bloody light in front of me, Xiao Lou fell to the cold ground, and his brain gradually lost the ability to think.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he saw Xiao Wu take out something similar to a "communicator" and whispering something to the other side. The young man's back quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Xiao Lou slowly closed his eyes behind him.

***

Tang Ci drove all the way to the police force, parked the car on the side of the road, and whispered: "Xiao Liu, stay, look at Chen Mengmeng in the trunk, don't let her run away, I'll go find Xiaolou."

Liu Qiao nodded: "Be careful, Mr. Tang."

Tang Ci closed the door, ran all the way to the police force, and asked bluntly: "Xiaolou is in danger, where are others?!"

Two criminal police officers hurried to cell No. 1, but saw Xiao Lou lying in a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, Tang Ci felt palpitations.

If Liu Qiao hadn't said that Xiao Lou had an antidote from a witch on his body, Tang Ci would have almost thought that Xiao Lou was dead.

At this moment, Xiao Lou looked no different from the "dead". His face was covered in blood, his eyes were closed, and his heart stopped beating. The two criminal police officers realized that something was wrong and immediately called Yu Hanjiang.

When Yu Hanjiang rushed back to the police force with a dark face, Xiao Lou's "corpse" had been carried out, covered with a layer of white cloth.

The man squatted down and lifted the white cloth's hand trembled slightly.

Xiao Lou's face under the white cloth was as pale as paper, but the blood hole left on his forehead formed a sharp contrast with his pale skin. Yu Hanjiang's hand suddenly clenched, and the blue veins on the back of his hand swelled. When he turned around, his eyes were covered with blood, and he shouted loudly like an angry beast: "Don't you let you look at him well? What the hell is going on!"

The two hands looked at each other, and one of the female policewomen said tremblingly: "Xiao Wu just delivered us a takeaway and told us to have dinner first. He went to the next duty room to stare. We thought, there would be no problem with him watching, so...

Yu Hanjiang stood up with a pale face: "Are you pig's brain?"

He took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat someone, immediately picked up the pager, whispered in the communication channel: "I am Yu Hanjiang, I will notify the police in each district immediately to search for the suspect Wu Minglang at all highway toll stations, airports, and railway stations. I will upload the information of this person to the intranet. Please pay attention to patrol police in various places. As long as you find him, arrest him immediately!"

After giving the order, he looked back at Xiao Lou on the ground, his face extremely ugly.

Tang Ci said calmly: "Captain Yu, do you believe now that he was framed?"

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment and said, "...I'm sorry."

Tang Ci said: "You'd better catch all the murderers back, otherwise Xiao Lou will die with his eyes open."

Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists tightly: "Of course, I will never let them go!"

Tang Ci asked: "Can I take Professor Xiao's body away?"

He only wants to go back to Xiaolou's "body". If a forensic doctor comes to the police team and dissect Professor Xiao, it would be bad. The witch's antidote cannot recover the broken corpse.

Yu Hanjiang said: "According to the regulations, I will notify his family to claim the body."

Tang Ci nodded and said, "Okay, please notify Xiao Lou's parents as soon as possible. Lin Wai, through the bullet shells left on the ground, you should be able to tell who fired the gun? His parents will definitely not agree to your autopsy and autopsy, and I hope you don't touch him again."

"Okay." Yu Hanjiang nodded, leaned over, carefully built a white cloth for Xiao Lou, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Tang Ci looked at his appearance, the man was full of guilt and self-blame, but there was not much pain - he was indeed different from the real Yu Hanjiang. If it were real Yu Hanjiang here, it would be impossible to be so calm when he saw Xiao Lou being shot by someone.

If it is true Yu Hanjiang...

Tang Ci dared not imagine the consequences.

He took a deep breath, turned around and came out of the door, got in the car and asked Liu Qiao, "Have you ever met Xiao Lou's parents?"

Liu Qiao shook her head: "No, how about Professor Xiao?"

Tang Ci said: "Xiao Lou was hit on the head by a bullet. I hope he will take the medicine in advance."

Liu Qiao said: "Professor Xiao is so cautious that he should not take his life and take risks. He can hold the antidote under his tongue in advance and can be eaten at any time. However, the witch's antidote needs to be effective at night."

Tang Ci opened his laptop and quickly found out the information of Xiao Lou's mother. He pointed to the photo on the screen and said, "This is a photo of Xiao Lou's mother. You pretend to be his mother and enter the police force as soon as possible to bring out his body. I sent Chen Mengmeng to the police force. We only caught this murderer, and the other two, and we had to rely on the power of the police."

Liu Qiao nodded, disguised as Xiao Lou's mother.

After half an hour, she pretended to take a taxi to the police force and hurried to find Yu Hanjiang: "Officer Yu, what's wrong with my son?"

Yu Hanjiang took her to the morgue. After lifting the white cloth and seeing Xiao Lou's face, Liu Qiao knelt down with a thud: "My son... why are you suddenly gone..."

Although she acted very hard, Liu Qiao was thinking in her heart that fortunately Professor Xiao was not aware of it now, otherwise she would have called Professor Xiao "son". This would be really disrespectful. Professor Xiao is her idol.

Yu Hanjiang looked at the crying "Xiao Mother" with a look of guilt: "I'm sorry, aunt, I couldn't protect him."

Liu Qiao: "What happened?"

Yu Hanjiang briefly told her about the case. Liu Qiao was stunned when she heard it. After acting for a while, she felt that it was almost done, sobbing and said, "Police Officer Yu must catch those murderers who killed my son!"

She stretched out her hand and helped Xiaolou build a white cloth, choked and said, "I want to take Xiaolou away, and wait for his father to come back to see him before burying him well."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Okay, auntie, you sign here."

Liu Qiao signed his mother's name and asked the corpse transporter to bring Xiao Lou's "body" back to Tang Ci's private residence.

The two brought Xiao Lou to bed.

Liu Qiao touched his cold wrist, looked at the wound left on his forehead, and said helplessly: "Professor Xiao is too risky. I hope he will take the medicine in advance, otherwise, I am really afraid that he will kill himself..."

Tang Ci stood beside the bed, looking at the "body" of Xiaolou on the bed, thinking.

Seeing that there was no reaction behind him, Liu Qiao couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What are Mr. Tang thinking?"

Tang Ci frowned and said, "I was wondering, what is the origin of the hunter, why are he going against us everywhere? And, where is the world where other teammates are in? How should we meet with them?"

Liu Qiao said: "Professor Xiao speculates that 12 of us are divided into several groups and are sent to different worlds. What we encounter is the puzzle of the red peaches. Since the Yu team in this world is not me, the real Yu team is likely to be in the spade world."

Tang Ci nodded: "Xiao Lou's speculation makes sense. Brother Jiu may also be in the survival world. Mr. Shao is in the plum blossom, and Lao Mo is in the square film? We don't know what rules others are assigned according to."

Liu Qiao said: "Just like the K-secret Room before, as long as we solve the problems in every world, we can always meet."

Tang Ci looked at Xiao Lou on the bed. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Lou should be fine."

Liu Qiao was puzzled: "What do you say?"

Tang Ci explained: "He is the captain and the owner of the contract. If he dies, the contract will be transferred to the second signature Yu Hanjiang. An announcement will pop up with the floating frame, "The captain will die, the contract will be transferred to Yu Hanjiang."

Liu Qiao was relieved when he heard this: "There is no prompt, that means that Professor Xiao took the medicine and did not really die. He will wake up tomorrow as soon as the day begins."

Using yourself as bait to lead the last hunter, Xiaolou's approach is risky, but it is also very effective.

Under the full wanted arrest of the criminal police brigade led by Yu Hanjiang, Wang Yishen, who fled to the airport, was soon arrested and brought to justice. Xiao Wu, who was hiding, was also discovered by the patrol police at the station. In addition to Chen Mengmeng, who was sent by Tang Ci, all the murderers of this serial murder case were arrested.

The night was very long. Tang Ci and Liu Qiao did not sleep well. They sat by the bed and waited anxiously for Xiao Lou to wake up.

As the first ray of sunlight hit the bedroom, Xiao Lou on the bed finally opened his eyes.

Seeing his teammates beside him, a smile appeared on Xiao Lou's pale face: "Fortunately, you snatched my body back in time, and were not taken away by Yu Hanjiang for dissection."

Liu Qiao was amused and crying: "Professor Xiao, you still have the intention to joke."
