Chapter 288 The person is still alive
Wu Qingluan and Gu Nankai didn't say anything more. Although they didn't speak, their minds were full of thoughts.
Wu Qingluan let out a soft breath and suddenly realized that there was faint lightning when they came out. She thought it was going to rain and they would inevitably get wet. But now when she looked up, the sky was bright and the wind was clear. If she looked carefully, she could even see a few stars.
Wu Qingluan glanced at Gu Nankai lightly, and seeing him staring sternly in the direction of Zhang Xuan's house, her heart sank slightly, but she felt a sense of security.
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh. She had never expected that the first time she and Gu Nankai were alone together in the wild would be like this. It was funny to think about it, but she was afraid of disturbing Gu Nankai, so she suppressed this feeling deeply and did not show it at all.
She calmed her mind slightly and soon focused attention.
“Here it comes!”
About half an hour later, Wu Qingluan's feet were numb from squatting and her eyelids were drooping. Suddenly, she heard Gu Nankai's soft call. Her mind was dizzy and she woke up immediately.
Gu Nankai seemed to have anticipated that her feet would feel numb, and when she moved slightly, he put one hand on her waist to protect her from getting hurt and to prevent her from making any noise that would attract the attention of Zhang Xuan who was not far away.
But her mind turned, and she didn't dare to move at all. Her heartbeat quickened and her breathing seemed to stop.
But Gu Nankai's attention was only on Zhang Xuan. When he saw her looking around for a few times, she opened the door and went in. Half a minute later, he stood up and stared in that direction with a stern look. Then he turned around and looked at Wu Qingluan who was still squatting on the ground. Although he couldn't see her face clearly in the night, he had guessed about 70% of her. There was a slight smile in his voice: "What's wrong, numb?"
Wu Qingluan's body stiffened slightly, she was angry and annoyed, she looked at him speechlessly, and thought that he would not be able to see her rolling eyes in the dark, so she said in a muffled voice: "I'm not you, how can I not feel numb after squatting for so long?"
After a pause, he added: "Help me up quickly!"
Seeing her stretch out an arm, Gu Nankai knew that she seemed a little angry, so he didn't say much and reached out to hold her hand. When their hands touched, both of them were slightly stunned. One big palm was dry and warm, while the other was slightly cool. Gu Nankai frowned slightly, but quickly pulled her up.
Wu Qingluan stood there with her teeth bared, and it took her a long time to get rid of the numbness in her legs. When she just recovered, her back felt a little heavy. After being surprised, Gu Nankai said lightly, "It's a bit cold at night. Girls, don't catch a cold."
Her face felt slightly hot, and her heart felt warm. The leather clothes on her back were slightly warm from his body temperature, which made her feel a little flustered, but she still hummed softly and didn't ask him if he was cold.
It was rare for Gu Nankai to be so considerate, and she didn't want to spoil his fun. At most, if he was sick, she would take care of him. There was no need to be pretentious.
Not long after the two men got up, Cao Cang and Li Meng also caught up from a distance . When Li Meng saw Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan in the night, he almost mistook them for someone else and became alert in an instant. Fortunately, Cao Cang was prepared and pulled him back in time.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Cao Cang quickly gave Gu Nankai and the others a brief introduction of the situation, and then began to ask.
Gu Nankai glanced at the door of Zhang Xuan's house with a slightly solemn look, but soon calmed down and looked at Li Meng, and said softly: "Li Meng, it seems that Zhang Xuan locked the door from the inside. Did you open the door without disturbing her after I went in?"
Li Meng raised his eyebrows and quickly said, "Boss, Zhang Xuan is just a little girl. I have great confidence in this, but I have to see the situation first. As long as she can't see me, I can unlock the door and let you in."
Gu Nankai was not worried about this. In his opinion, the reason why Zhang Xuan came back so late was probably for the cellar in the garden. While they were talking, Zhang Xuan should have already entered the cellar.
But to be on the safe side, Li Meng was still asked to observe on the wall. The wall of Zhang Xuan's house was a mud wall, not very high. Even Wu Qingluan could climb up easily, so it was not a difficult task for Li Meng. He quickly nodded to Gu Nankai and the others, and he landed quietly in a gap of time.
Gu Nankai and the others waited for a while, and then they saw the door of Zhang Xuan's house being opened by Li Meng. After carefully opening a crack, Gu Nankai and the others walked in sideways without making any noise .
As soon as he entered, Li Meng whispered, "Boss, didn't Zhang Xuan come in? From what I observed, she doesn't seem to be in the room."
They didn't know anything about the cellar yet. After hearing what he said, Gu Nankai quickly glanced at the yard. Even the lights in the house were not on. In their opinion, Zhang Xuan came to this place so late, and it was not a holiday. She couldn't just come back to sleep.
So…
Gu Nankai smiled softly and pointed to the garden and said, "She's not in the room. She's over there."
The rest of the people stared in the direction of the garden in amazement, and then looked at Gu Nankai suspiciously. Gu Nankai smiled softly and led everyone straight to that place: "Let's go, I'll take you to find the truth."
Cao Cang and the others continued to follow him in confusion, until they saw the cellar deep in the garden and suddenly understood. Wu Qingluan was startled, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth as she looked at Gu Nankai: "Could it be that Huang Minghao is..."
It is very likely that she is here, but no one said this out loud. Cao Cang and Li Meng carried flashlights from the serious crime squad with them. They were specially used for handling cases. Although they were small, they could provide strong illumination. Now that they had confirmed that Zhang Xuan was here, the three grown men had nothing to fear. They were not afraid that Zhang Xuan had any lethal weapons in his hands, so they went in openly with the flashlights.
Gu Nankai was in front, Cao Cang was behind him, Wu Qingluan was behind Cao Cang, and Li Meng was at the end. The four of them slowly went down the ladder to the cellar, only to find that this place was a different world. It looked like an old tunnel, and it was rare that it could be preserved to this day.
"Boss, the situation is not good."
As soon as he went down, Cao Cang frowned and said something to Gu Nankai, and Gu Nankai also noticed this. The smell in the air was really unbearable, but in this stench, in addition to people's daily stale food, there was also a hint of rotten smell.
Gu Nankai understood what Cao Cang meant, and he also realized that Huang Minghao's life and death, this familiar rotten food seemed to have let them know a glimmer of the truth.
The few of them continued to move forward. The boys were fine, but Wu Qingluan covered her mouth and dry-heaved several times. Fortunately, she had not had time to eat anything in the evening, so she couldn't vomit anything . She just felt very uncomfortable in her stomach. However, she didn't say anything and continued to move forward with everyone.
Not long after they walked, Gu Nankai and his friends saw a bright light and came face to face with Zhang Xuan. The innermost road of the tunnel came to an abrupt end, revealing a relatively empty place. Zhang Xuan was busy dealing with the scene when he saw a group of people suddenly appear in front of him. He was startled and the damaged knife fell to the ground.
Gu Nankai's eyes shone, and he quickly glanced at Huang Minghao beside her. His eyes flickered, and he immediately said, "Cao Cang! Help! Li Meng, arrest her!"
Cao Cang and Li Meng rushed forward instantly. Li Meng subdued Zhang Xuan, and Cao Cang quickly checked Huang Minghao's injuries.
"Boss, the person is still breathing. He must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be very dangerous."
