Qiu Zijia said: "Let's not stay here anymore, what if the killer finishes cooking the female teacher and then returns?"

Mu Qin also knew that this place should not be stayed for a long time. He held the arm of the corpse and observed it for a long time. The other's body had started to get cold, and he could not die any more thoroughly.

So Mu Qin was finally convinced that the moment was indeed a nervous reaction of the corpse, and he had to stand up and say to Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu: "The killer's footprints passed to the back yard. While he caught the gap between the female teacher, we Search over the chapel. "

At this time, Cheng Guoxu made a rare speech, his voice inexplicably a little trembling: "Do you care about that woman?"

Qiu Zijia anxiously said, "Take a fart! We can't guarantee it ourselves. How can we manage others!"

It's cruel to see death, but Qiu Zijia's behavior is very heartless and heartless, and Mu Qin is not a very kind person.

When Mu Qin was in the army, he was trained by the instructor to calm down and see the situation before acting. Even if the best companion was killed and abused by the enemy in front of his eyes, he would calmly wait, consider his ability, and think about whether he could save him. People must not lose their judgment on the situation because of impulse.

This teaching was held by Muqin as a truth, and Muqin has been following this truth since he left the army.

So after a moment of thinking, Mu Qin said: "The risk of saving Han Li is too great. We don't have weapons, except for me, you don't have any fighting ability. And ... it can be clearly inferred that the killer is Xu Fu, after all, we three All of them are here. We haven't done anything extra. The last person who didn't show up is dead now. Han Li has been taken away, so only Xu Fu is here. "

As Muqin said, he recalled: "Xu Fu's physique is the best among us. I predict that he will be 1.89 meters tall and weigh about 85 kilograms. He may hold a handful of about 30 in length. Short knives around a centimeter are very responsive and powerful. "

"Xu Fu was a murderer before. He also has more experience than us in this game. His mental quality is definitely not weak. He will not be easily confused by language or traps. We have no possibility of defeating him. Reckless rescue will only Get us all in. "

Mu Qin's analysis put a lot of pressure on Qiu Zijia. Qiu Zijia took a cool breath and said, "I knew it was the murderer, and when I saw it, I looked fierce!"

Mu Qin did not speak, and he still frowned, always feeling something was wrong.

If the killer is really Xu Fu, why did the other party intentionally separate from them at first? Isn't it better to stay with them all the time? Pretend to accompany them to find the keys to the orphanage, and then kill them one by one when they are tired, and also ensure that the keys to the exit can be held in their hands, so that the fugitive success of all fugitives will be reduced to lowest.

Mu Qin couldn't think of it, so he decided to temporarily abandon these complex thoughts and adopt a contingency mode of action. He led Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu towards the chapel opposite the apartment building.

Now the rain is getting heavier. The blood left by the deceased in the courtyard was quickly washed away by the rain. This storm came a little late.

Walking across the courtyard to the steps of the chapel, Muqin's clothes were completely wet with rain. The temperature in the orphanage was very low. Muqin felt that the outdoor temperature was only about ten degrees. The group of them only Wearing thin gray shirts and trousers not only failed to keep warm, but also caused the body temperature to drop because of getting wet.

The cold made Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu's endless chatter. Mu Qin's cold resistance was good. After all, he served as a soldier. In the five years of service, Mu Qin once had the memory of training outside in subzero temperatures.

However, looking at Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who were frozen into a sieve, Mu Qin said, "Hurry into the church, you can't get rain anymore."

A few people hurriedly opened the door of the church ... the mahogany door carved with a snake-wrapped cross and colorful diamond-shaped glass combination.

The door is very large and heavy. Mu Qin is glad that it is not locked and can be pushed slowly by pushing hard, but the bad thing is that the door also made a huge noise during the process of pushing the door. The rainy night of the water splashing and cheering, no matter what kind of noise can be easily covered by the sound of the rain beating the ground.

Mu Qin just pushed the door open a small gap for one person to pass through, and then greeted Qiu Zijia and others one by one.

When they entered the chapel in the orphanage, Muqin and others began to look around the church.

Because it is just a small church, the internal space of the church is relatively small, but it also has a clear imitation of Western style. There are rows of benches for the rest of the believers. There is a small stage with a huge **** cross hanging on the background wall of the stage. The statue is also decorated with stained glass.

A very large and luxurious silver chandelier hangs on the ceiling. It is a European-style candle chandelier with a sharp inverted triangle-shaped load-bearing structure in the middle. A small lamp holder like a branch extending around it can hold candles. . This chandelier has a lifting function, and it is hung by an iron chain. The clergyman can lower the chandelier, place a pure white candle on the lamp stand, and then ignite the chandelier.

When no electric lamp was invented in Europe before, everyone basically used this kind of candle lamp. A candlestick was placed on a simple lamp stand. In order to prevent the flame from blowing out by wind, occasionally a transparent cover was put on it. . More often, they don't even need a light stand, and it is enough to put a candle on the table.

Of course, this is just the way of living for the poor. Luxury and indulgent European nobles like to use sterling silver to create gorgeous and exquisite silver lampholders, and then put candles on them. They made the lighting tools a gorgeous decoration-like effect, and then they felt that if the lamp was only placed on the table, the room did not look bright and luxurious enough, so they made the lamp holder bigger and hung it with a chain of chains to hang it on the ceiling. This is also the origin of the candle chandelier.

In modern society, a candle chandelier basically has only the shape of a candle. In fact, the light bulb is made into a flame-like shape, and it looks good at home.

However, Muqin found that the candle chandelier in this chapel is the very traditional one that can only be lit. Although it is indeed exquisite and beautiful, it also adds a lot of inconvenience. The electric light can be instantly lit in the dark. However, this traditional candle chandelier does not work.

Fortunately, there are other lighting lamps in the church, such as wall lamps. The wall lamps are pretty electric lamps, but there seem to be a lot of light bulbs broken. Muqin fumbled and turned on only two. The entire chapel was dimly lit.

"It's too dark." Qiu Zijia wanted to search for this small church, but darkness prevented him from exploring. When he tripped for the third time on a wooden board on the ground, he said to Muqin, "We Can't you first find a way to get a flashlight? "

Mu Qin didn't answer. He walked to the stage of the chapel. There are dark red curtains on both sides of the stage. There are some cabinets behind the curtain for storing tools. These cabinets are basically used to hold Bibles, crosses and other prayers. Needed props.

After the orphanage was abandoned, the contents of these damaged cabinets were basically evacuated. In one of the small cabinets, Muqin found a Bible that seemed to have been cut off by a sharp weapon, and it was stained with black stains. .

Mu Qin flipped through the half of the Bible by a dim light source. The Bible was still in English. The dense letters were lined up in front of Mu Qin. Mu Qin couldn't understand it. He turned it over after turning two pages.

Then Mu Qin continued to turn the cabinet. In the last cabinet, Mu Qin finally found what he needed, a few yellowed candles of different lengths, and a box of used matches, plus two candlesticks. In this last cabinet.

"So there is a lamp." Muchin took out the candlestick, picked out a candle that looked good, and lit it with a match.

Muqin thought just now when he saw the candle chandelier on the ceiling. Since there is such an old thing in this chapel, naturally, a candle match will be prepared accordingly.

Soon, the small light source of the candle successfully lit the area around Muchin, and Muchin took it to illuminate some of the dark places in the chapel.

The firelight in Mu Qin's hand attracted Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia. After a few words, the two also went to the cabinet to find out the candles were lit. The three people with the light source began to explore in this small church, although it was a Small church, but there are many hidden secrets. First ... they noticed that the church has a second floor.

There is a second floor inside the church, but the stairs leading to the second floor collapsed. I don't know what caused it. There are only some faults left on the stairs, and the collapsed ruins are still stacked in the corner of the stairwell. If he wanted to go to the second floor, Mu Qin had to find chairs and other items to pile up and climb up, but it took too much time and effort, Mu Qin and others thought about it and gave up the move.

"Come and see! There is a lot of blood here!" Qiu Zijia then found a row of heavily damaged benches in the church, which seemed to have been violently damaged by somebody. The entire bench was fragmented, wooden boards and nails scattered on the ground. Qiu Zijia Notice a lot of blood on these boards.

Mu Qin walked over and glanced. The blood was still fresh, but it had slowly started to freeze. Immediately after Muqin discovered that the blood stains had stretched all the way to the door of the church, he realized what, Muqin's tone revealed anxiety and said, "It seems this is the first scene."

Qiu Zijia suddenly understood, panicking, "You mean, was the dead man we just saw attacked here?"

"It should be like this, he was attacked here, and then fled the door." Muqin said, holding the candlestick in his hand and walking to the door of the chapel. Just when they came in, they didn't find it because it was too dark around them. The door was also stained with blood.

"I have a bad hunch, I think we should leave here as soon as possible?" Qiu Zijia saw so much blood on the ground and the door, and couldn't help shaking.

Muqin said: "Don't worry, this is a good opportunity. We should search here as soon as the killer can't come for a while."

Qiu Zijia said: "But the killer cook female teacher should not take long, what if I come back in a while?"

"He doesn't necessarily know that we are here." Mu Qin glanced out through the glass window next to him, judging, "There is still heavy rain outside. The sound of rain and the rain will wipe us away, which will kill the killer. Judgment also gives us more time to explore. "

Chapter 7 Iris 07┃ The body parts from head to toe have been replaced and become another person.

That being said, but as long as I think that the terrible killer may return to this church anytime, anywhere, several people can't help but speed up the search of this small church, they rummaged through the church chairs or corners one by one, hope What valuable clues can be obtained.

Mu Qin came to the stage of the church. This is a small stage. It is usually used by those clergy to stand on the stage to speak. Occasionally, some nuns are invited to stand to sing carols, so this stage. On it was a musical instrument—a piano.

Almost everything of value in the abandoned orphanage was removed, but this apparently valuable piano is as if forgotten, and it is still here. It is painted black and polished Lacquer, covered with a thick layer of gray, Muqin approached it, and touched the piano cover with his fingers, leaving clear five-fingerprints on it.

Then Mu Qin opened the piano cover. Under the cover are black and white keys. With the protection of the cover, they are well protected. Mu Qin chose a lowest key and gently pressed it. The piano gave a low one. Short tone.

Although it was a very short short note, the sudden sound of the piano surprised startling Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who were searching for other positions next to him. Qiu Zijia moved in small steps to warn Mu Qin: "At this time you still Have fun playing the piano! "

Mu Qin turned a deaf ear to Qiu Zijia's warning. He still looked at this piano with a fascination, because it inspired some memories of Mu Qin.

After the death of his adoptive parents, Mu Qin basically lived alone. He lived in an 80-square-meter house left by his adoptive parents, although this house was later occupied and resold by unscrupulous old people. But Muqin still remembers a beautiful piano in that house, in the study room of his adoptive parents.

Mu Qin had no talent for music. When he was a kid, he was actually a naughty bear child. He was full of energy and liked to play everywhere. He caught birds and climbed trees and rolled out of mud. Not to mention sitting quietly to study, let alone learning music, which requires patience thing.

Therefore, the adoptive parents did not force Mu Qin to learn any special skills. In those years, Mu Qin was regarded as giving Mu Qin a very happy childhood, which allowed him to grow up carefree. This has made Mu Qin very much so far. Thanks for their upbringing.

Unlike Muqin, adoptive parents have musical talents, especially Muqin's adoptive father. It is said that he has also won a prize for piano playing in a certain world-class competition. The trophy obtained has been in the study at that time. Bookcase.

But Muqin was young and did n’t know much about the so-called competitions or awards. He did n’t understand what it was. He just felt that his adoptive father played the piano particularly well. Every time his adopted father raised his hands on the keys and started playing, Muqin Will enter the study, obediently lying on the leg of his adoptive father to listen to his playing the piano.

Thanks to his adoptive father, Mu Qin grew up very fond of the people who talked to the piano. Perhaps it was the cultivation and depth of his adoptive parents ... Mu Qin left a deep and indelible impression through music. When he heard the piano music, Muqin would be deeply attracted to it.

Mu Qin's first love was met through music.

At that time, he was still a high school student. He was studying in a key high school in the city. His adoptive parents had already died. Mu Qin's custody was entrusted to the old man. The old man did not have any other problems. He just liked gambling. .

Although the old man always emphasized that he would not bet big money, and just played with hundreds of casually, it was obvious that this was a bottomless pit. Soon the old man's property was lost by himself, his wife and son left one by one. He, when he got Mu Qin's custody right, and Mu Qin's adoptive parents' property, he still couldn't get rid of the bad fault, and he was reluctant to spend the property of his adoptive parents in this way.

But Muqin is just a minor child. Except for spending money gambling, the old lady did not treat Muqin in life, or beat and scolded him. It is really not easy to get rid of Mu, there is no other way. Qin can only study hard, thinking of going to a good university farther away from the unscrupulous old man.

Mu Qin, who was desperately studying, has been studying late since he was in high school. At that time, the school did not mandate high school students to study at night. They all started from the second year of high school. Students hang out together and study with them late. Mu Qin is sitting in the corner of the classroom, holding a pile of papers and struggling with a pen.

When other students secretly talked about small things, handed notes, played mobile phones, and played in various classes during the evening self-study, only Mu Qin wrote his homework honestly.

At that time, there was a music room next to the study room for high school students with a piano.

Music students in the school will go to the music room to train every evening when they study in the evening. Therefore, every night, Mu Qin wrote his papers and assignments while listening to the wonderful music played by the piano in the music room next door.

As time went by, Mu Qin gradually found out that the person playing the piano in the music room next door seemed to be getting better and better. The song that the other party had been practicing was very familiar with Mu Qin. The performance of the music became more consistent and skilled. Muqin, who was attracted by the music, couldn't help it one day. He wanted to go over to the music room to see who was playing the piano.

Mu Qin quickly started his operation. While the study room was taking a ten-minute break, Mu Qin went to the music room next to him. The door of the music room was closed. Mu Qin did not dare to push it, and stood by the window and went inside. A glance.

Then Muqin saw his first love, a boy who looked tall and thin.

That's right, boy.

Muqin was not sure whether he was **** until later adulthood. Before his first love, he did not have any affection for anyone, male or female. But the first person he liked was a boy. The boy's name was Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue and Mu Qin are both high school students, but they are not in the same class. Mu Qin is just an ordinary class. Zhou Yue is in a key class. Zhou Yue's family is said to be very rich. He is a high-level student trained under the elite education. Not only is his other achievements outstanding, but his music quality is also very high. He has been learning piano since he was a few years old. It's even more worthy of a genius.

The school is very enthusiastic about accepting such students. As soon as Zhou Yue entered the school, she immediately attracted a lot of attention. The principal and the director, the teachers of all subjects took great care of him. In addition, Zhou Yue's cultural performance is good, and I look good. With a gentle temperament and a handsome appearance, the gentle and gentle boy, according to some youth campus novels, Zhou Yue is just like a glorious prince on campus.

Mu Qin should not be such a "Master Prince". He didn't think about it. He was just obsessed with that person sitting in front of the piano and focused on playing. He would go to the window of the music room every evening for self-study. Secretly watched Zhou Yue playing the piano. Over time, Zhou Yue easily discovered Mu Qin's existence. Zhou Yue opened the door of the music room and invited Mu Qin to enter.

Mu Qin remembers that when he entered the music room, Zhou Yue said to him the first sentence: "Why do you stand there and peek at me?"

Mu Qin was red-faced and red-eared and asked for a long time before he told Zhou Yue the truth: "The tune you have been practicing is my father's favorite piano song during his lifetime. When I see you play the piano, I will ... ... miss my dad. "

Muqin has always missed adoptive parents. To him, the adoptive parents were the guides in his life. Although they were not Muqin's biological parents, they gave Muqin almost everything.

Muqin ’s answer also seemed to surprise the teenager in front of the piano. The other party did n’t mind Muqin ’s indecent assault. Instead, he talked to Muqin and told Muqin that he would enter the door directly if he wanted to listen to him. Looking outside.

Then Mu Qin and Zhou Yue became friends, secret friends. At that time, very few people in the school knew about Mu Qin's relationship with Zhou Yue, and no one would associate the all-seeing "Prince" in the college with an ordinary low-key student like Mu Qin.

But at that time, they were very good. Mu Qin often went to the music room to talk to Zhou Yue during the late self-study time. They talked about nothing. Zhou Yue also taught Mu Qin to play the piano. The feeling that his fingers were in his palm.

It was almost as if the ugly duckling was pityed by the noble and beautiful swan.

They even dated later, the kind of intimacy with lovers. The opportunity for communication Mu Qin remembers clearly, only remember that one day, they sat together in the seat in front of the piano in the music room, Mu Qin watched Zhou Yue playing the piano as usual, after playing, Zhou Yue bowed his head and looked at Mu Qin, Mu Qin also looked at each other's eyes. He saw Zhou Yue's night-like eyes printed on his face. He couldn't help approaching the other side and wanted to see more clearly, but the result was unexpected. Zhou Yue just put it together. Come over and kiss Muchin's lips.

After a kiss, they ceased to be friends and became lovers.

That was Mu Qin's first love, a first love destined to be fruitless. This love was not discovered by others, was not hindered by teachers, parents, or other classmates. They have been sweet to the third year since high school, and then passed the college entrance examination. ...... No more messages.

Because Mu Qin has no money to go to college, although his excellent grade allows him to attend the same prestigious university as Zhou Yue, if he talks about his situation with Zhou Yue, maybe Zhou Yue will find a way to fund him, After all, Zhou Yue's family is very strong, and Zhou Yue has always liked Mu Qin very much. Zhou Yue is a very good at communication. He will tell Mu Qin his thoughts without reservation, and tell Mu Qin that he cares about him.

But in the end Muqin gave up the idea and chose to join the army.

In addition to some self-esteem problems, the main reason is that Mu Qin knows that he and Zhou Yue will not have results.

They are not a person in the world. Zhou Yue has a background, status and ability, and is destined to go flat, but Mu Qin has nothing, maybe he will hold back Zhou Yue, put a **** hat on him, and bring him Come all kinds of ridicule and criticism.

So, in the end, we left without saying goodbye.

Mu Qin thought of it, sighed slightly, and closed the dusty piano cover.

After all, it's actually because Muqin is timid. From the beginning, Muqin had the worst plan to associate with that person. He never dared to expect the possibility of a happy ending, so he chose to give up.

It has been many years ago. Mu Qin not only served for five years, but also worked for four or five years after he came out. Now he is 28 years old. He was too mature, as if body parts were replaced from head to toe, and he became another person.
