Chapter 23 - Your Routine (1/2)
“There is something wrong.”
Lin Fan stared at the dry well and was lost in thought.
Why did Wei Xiong take the initiative to enter the dry well?
Based on the previous situation.
If Wei Xiong wanted to get in the dry well safely, he should have asked Lin Fan to lead the way since Lin Fan knew the details about the dry well from Dr. Sun.
But Wei Xiong sounded fine going in there all by himself.
Lin Fan thought of the plots that often occurred in film and tv-dramas, the traitors will always find ways to cover up the truth.
“This is weird.”
Lin Fan muttered.
“What’s wrong?” Wang Zhou heard Lin Fan muttered and didn’t know what to say.
He thought about whether he should tell Wang Zhou or not.
“Sir, did you remember what Wei Xiong said when you talk to him?” Lin Fan said.
Wang Zhou was shocked and said in a hurry, “There might be a danger?”
“No, Wei Xiong will return safely.” Lin Fan said.
He foresaw two possible outcomes.
The first was Wei Xiong came up safely and reported that the situation was not dangerous, and everyone could safely enter the dry well, but Lin Fan could not find important clues.
The other was that something suddenly happened. For example, an explosion in the dry well. Wei Xiong came out and reported the situation inside.
“That’s good, as long as people he is safe, the rest are not important.” Wang Zhou replied.
He didn’t get what Lin Fan was trying to point out.
Lin Fan doubted Wang Zhou’s intelligence.
Suddenly.
Someone shouted.
“Something happens! Smoke comes out of the dry well, and Wei Xiong is still inside.”
Lin Fan guessed Wei Xiong was afraid of being busted, so he burned down all the evidence.
Lin Fan was very calm.
Lin Fan thought maybe Wei Xiong brought a certain book with him. Because that book would be useful for him to threaten someone else.
“Wei Xiong, hurry up!” Wang Zhou shouted into the dry well.
The smoke was very dense, and it was difficult for an average person to breathe. It was impossible to see clearly what was inside the well.
Suddenly.
A figure came out from the dry well, it was Wei Xiong covered with ashes.
“Sir, I’m sorry. I’m stepped on a trap in the dry chamber and caused a fire. I wanted to take those evidence before the fire spreads, but I didn’t expect the fire was too big, I’m sorry… “
Wei Xiong was sad, helpless, and deeply regretted his actions.
Lin Fan looked at Wei Xiong’s expression. If he hadn’t watched a few hundred films and tv-dramas, he would have been deceived by that guy. Just look at that expression.
That man was like a professional actor.
“It’s okay, it’s enough to see you come back safely.” Wang Zhou patted Wei Xiong’s shoulder, “What did you find inside?”
Wei Xiong said, “Sir, there is a secret room at the end of the passage, where there are so many oil lamps, and I did not care about it at that time, but a letter on the table attracted my attention. Then the oil lamp exploded, and after a while, the room was engulfed with fire. I wanted to take the letter away, but the fire was too big. The letter was already burned in a blink of an eye.”
