Chapter 53: Suspicion (1)
Translator: 549690339
The bespectacled man was not the last Hunter in this trial space.
Song qingxiao had already prepared herself for this before she went down to the first floor to kill him.
However, when he really died and the mission was not completed, song qingxiao could not hide the disappointment and depression in her heart.
The approaching time for the mission was like a blade hanging over her head, which could fall down at any time to kill her.
Song qingxiao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. If the bespectacled man wasn’t the last Hunter, then who else was there? What about the outstanding number six or number five who had hidden in the early hours of the morning?
Of the two, she felt that number five was more suspicious.
Thinking about it carefully, at the start of this mission, the six trial-takers had entered the trial space one by one. Under the threat of the big man with the gun, they had either covered up like him or fought back. However, number Five’s behavior was very different from everyone who had been threatened.
The moment he was threatened by the big man with the spear, he first begged for mercy, then he seemed to have a mental breakdown, and then he cried.
Furthermore, after no one threatened him and number six entered the trial space, he continued to ramble on and on, revealing everything about himself.
He took the initiative to mention that he had exchanged the points from the last mission for money to squander, showing his timidity and cowardice. It was as if he was showing weakness to others and lowering their guard against him, thinking that he was incompetent.
Number Five’s actions had left a deep impression on everyone. Therefore, the moment the mission notification appeared, number four had subconsciously treated him as the easiest to bully. At that time, she had raised her whip to force him to tell her about the mission.
However, he fled in panic and directly activated mission mode.
His actions seemed reckless, but it was worth thinking about.
No. 5 was probably a wolf in sheep’s clothing. His performance made all the other participants subconsciously think of him as the least threatening person among the few participants, including song qingxiao.
Everyone would have made a list in their mind when they completed their mission. Song qingxiao had placed number five at the bottom of the list.
However, after thinking about it carefully, this might just be a successful disguise. Those who could survive the first trial, if their mental state was so weak that they couldn’t withstand a single blow, it was impossible for them to obtain the final victory.
Other than being suspicious of number five, song qingxiao was also wary of number six’s temporary cooperation.
Up to this day, her deduction that number six might be The Guardian came from the night she killed number four. Number six had been hiding on the fourth floor and hadn’t made any movements.
However, after some thought, song qingxiao felt that something was wrong.
The working hours on the 4th were the same as her, and they both took over after 8:oo. It wasn’t too late when song qingxiao received the first point deduction.
She immediately rushed to the fourth floor, and by then, the entire floor had been knocked out.
The patient’s unconsciousness might be related to the medicine, but the nurses and security guards were all unconscious, which obviously could not be done in a short time.
In that situation, it wasn’t easy for number four to quickly knock out so many people and kill three people in a row, one of whom was a big man with a gun.
Number six could have knocked out everyone on the fourth floor.
However, the most important thing now was to find number five.
She suppressed the anxiety in her heart, put away the long whip, and raised her foot. The upper body of the purple snake under her foot had been trampled into meat paste, and only its tail was still twitching.
Song qingxiao grabbed the snake’s tail and lifted it up. The snake was about the length of a palm and very thin. A stinky smell came from the snake’s body, similar to the smell she had smelled from Dr. Hu and the other corpses on the second floor.
This should be the bespectacled man’s trump card, and also the culprit who killed Dr. Hu and the others.
Previously, song qingxiao had seen it clearly. The bespectacled man had hidden the snake in his mouth. When he opened his mouth to kill, the snake would shoot out and take the life of the person.
This move was indeed impossible to guard against. If song qingxiao had not moved Dr. Hu’s body and hid it in the elevator, scaring the spectacled man at the critical moment and causing him to lose the initiative, song qingxiao might have suffered a big loss if she had to fight him.
The little snake moved quickly and was very poisonous, but it was a pity that he could not use it.
Song qingxiao threw the snake’s body away and bent down to search the bespectacled man’s body. The bespectacled man was only wearing a checkered shirt. She searched his body but did not find any traces of a gun.
“Eh?”
She furrowed her brows, did I guess wrong?”
Security guard Huang mentioned the gun before he died. She had thought that the glasses man had killed doctor ou to get the key and the gun, so she was worried.
But now he didn’t have a gun on him, and the snake should be his only trump card. So after he lured her downstairs, his first reaction was to take the elevator to escape and kill her, instead of hiding in the dark and sneak attacking her.
But if her guess was wrong, if the gun wasn’t with the spectacled man, where was it?
Song qingxiao stood up in disappointment. If the man in glasses didn’t have a gun, then the gun must be somewhere. This thing was from the trial space, and it was useful to her at the moment. If she could get it, it would be like adding wings to a Tiger.
As she thought of this, she quickly walked towards the security room.
Even if she didn’t get it, she couldn’t let anyone else get it, especially number five, whose whereabouts were currently unknown.
After the big man killed the man, Zhu xiaoke, who had touched the gun, had told him that the gun was locked. The key to the lock was kept by the doctor, and the gun was guarded by security guard Huang.
Before the incident on the fourth floor, before the spectacled man was suspected and detained by the hospital, Huang and the others were on duty at the security Department on the first floor. There was a high possibility that the gun was hidden there.
The door of the security Department was still open. In the surveillance footage, the people on the third floor were still sitting in a circle. No one spoke, and no one made any unnecessary movements. If it were not for the occasional patient moving, the surveillance footage on the third floor would have looked like a frozen movie.
She took a closer look at the surveillance footage and saw that number six was also sitting among the patients. Song qingxiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Even if number six was a suspect, she would not dare to act rashly for the time being.
Song qingxiao had already searched the security Department once, but this time, she was obviously more careful. She opened every drawer of the office desk and looked through them. There were miscellaneous items, documents, some patient’s family follow-up papers, train tickets, and so on, but there was nothing she wanted to see.
She had also removed the outer shell of the air conditioner in the room. After checking the inside, she did not find any traces of a gun.
Ten minutes later, song qingxiao felt a little defeated. She began to doubt her first speculation. Just as she was about to give up, she saw the door of the security Department open.
The door was firmly locked by the door knob. From her angle, there seemed to be a box with a similar color to the wall behind the door.
She pulled the door open and saw an electric power supply box behind the door. The outer shell of the box was made of white plastic and looked similar to the wall. If one did not look carefully, they would not have noticed it.
Song qingxiao picked up the dagger and stuck the tip of the dagger into the gap of the box. With a strong flick, the plastic shell was broken with a ‘ka’ sound. The fragments scattered, revealing the scene inside.
In addition to the rolled wires, there was a large empty space in the box. There was an empty transparent plastic bag in it. She took out the plastic bag and compared it to the gun. It was the same size as the gun and had the mark of a gun on it.
There was no doubt that this was where the gun was originally hidden, but before she found it, someone had already been here, taken the key, and stolen the gun.
The person who stole the gun was not the bespectacled man whom she had suspected, and he should be very familiar with the hospital.. Who was the person who killed doctor ou?
