Chapter 63 Random Mission
There are many tourist attractions in Beijing. When Jiang Ning was in college, he would sometimes go around.
Jiang Ning was unsure of Qi Xingzhou's physical strength. Although Qi Xingzhou looked to be in good shape, it was also possible that he was born to be a clothes hanger, so his figure was perfect.
Jiang Ning drove Qi Xingzhou to the nearest mountain. The mountain was a man-made scenic spot. There were about 6,000 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top. Jiang Ning climbed it twice when he was in college. It took less than two hours to go up and down.
Jiang Ning parked the car at the foot of the mountain. After getting out of the car, he pointed to the mountain in front of him and said to Qi Xingzhou, "Let's climb up and then come down. Then I'll treat you to a meal."
After all, she had accepted two million from the other man's brother before, so it was only right for her to treat Qi Xingzhou to a few more meals.
Jiang Ning asked again: "Can you climb up?"
Qi Xingzhou stood beside Jiang Ning, followed the finger that Jiang Ning extended, looked at the towering mountain in front of him, and nodded reservedly.
Qi Xingzhou had nothing in his hands. Jiang Ning opened the back seat and took out a messenger bag that had just been placed on the seat.
Jiang Ning put her cell phone and car keys in her bag, put it on her back, and then took Qi Xingzhou to a small shop nearby to buy two bottles of water.
With such a long distance, you might get thirsty if you don’t drink water on the way.
After buying it, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou got ready and walked towards the steps at the foot of the mountain.
The name of this mountain is Kuilong Mountain. It is very popular among the urban residents because there is no entrance fee and there is a temple on the top of the mountain where people can burn incense. On the first day of every month, there are many people who come to climb the mountain to burn incense. Even on ordinary days, there are many people who come to climb the mountain to exercise.
Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou walked slowly up the stairs.
Jiang Ning was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a pair of loose black sports shorts today. The length of the pants was just to her thighs, revealing her white knees and straight and well-proportioned calves. She was wearing a pair of white socks and off-white sneakers on her feet, and a black sports cap on her head. She looked youthful and beautiful.
Qi Xingzhou followed Jiang Ning because Jiang Ning noticed that he was wearing cotton and linen home clothes when she answered the video just now, so she reminded him to change into sportswear before going out.
And what a coincidence, Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning were dressed exactly the same today, wearing black sportswear of the same color and a pair of clean, dust-free beige sneakers.
Qi Xingzhou was not wearing a hat, revealing his smooth forehead and handsome face. He pursed his thin lips and followed Jiang Ning closely. At first glance, the two of them looked like a couple going out.
However, neither of them seemed to notice this. As Jiang Ning walked, her steps became increasingly brisk. Qi Xingzhou followed Jiang Ning one step behind her, breathing steadily.
There are many trees and green plants planted on both sides of the steps, as well as a lot of wild grass growing freely. The air is much fresher than in the city. Jiang Ning chatted with Qi Xingzhou as they walked.
Although Jiang Ning was talking most of the time and Qi Xingzhou responded occasionally, the atmosphere between the two was not awkward. Qi Xingzhou's eyes were sparkling and anyone could see that he was in a very good mood.
There were many people climbing the mountain today. On their way up the mountain, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou often met people coming down the mountain. Before and after the two of them, there was also an endless stream of people climbing the mountain.
Jiang Ning glanced at Qi Xingzhou from the corner of her eye. She saw that when he met the tourists coming down the mountain, he would quietly hide behind her and take the initiative to avoid them. Compared with Qi Xingzhou who had no reaction to the outside world before, he had made great progress in these two meetings.
The two of them walked briskly and climbed to the top of the mountain in one go without stopping at all.
On the mountain climbing route, pavilions or stone benches for people to rest are built at regular intervals. The temple on the top of the mountain is built very luxuriously, adopting the quaint old architectural style, with the temple in the middle and other buildings stacked up on all sides.
Jiang Ning took Qi Xingzhou for a walk around, and after admiring the buildings below, they walked up the steps to the rooftop.
"Let's go up there and take a look." Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou said.
She had been here before, and if she stood on the second-floor terrace, she could have a panoramic view of most of Beijing.
Just as the two were walking up the stairs, they suddenly saw a group of people running down from the rooftop, with hurried steps and expressions that tried to avoid them.
Jiang Ning frowned. Before she could think about it, she heard the voice of the system in her mind: [A murderer was found in Kuilong Temple! Host, please arrest the murderer Yang He immediately! ] Kuilong Temple?
Isn't that where she is now?
Jiang Ning's heart trembled. She raised her hand and grabbed a girl who ran down from above and asked, "What's going on up there? What happened?"
"Yes, there is a man...killing people!" The girl's face was pale. After Jiang Ning grabbed her arm, he could clearly feel that her body was trembling with fear.
"Don't go up there, run! That man is crazy!"
"There's people killing people up there, don't go up there, run, run!"
The other people behind the girl kindly advised them, then they walked around the two of them and ran away quickly from the side.
As soon as Jiang Ning let go of the girl, she also walked down the stairs quickly with weak legs.
The system's mission had already been released. Running away? Jiang Ning would never run away.
Without seeing it with his own eyes, Jiang Ning had no idea what was going on there.
If she was the only one climbing the mountain today, Jiang Ning would have rushed up by now, but she did not forget that there was someone following her.
Jiang Ning came back to his senses and said to Qi Xingzhou with a serious expression: "Young Master, you just wait for me downstairs obediently, okay? I'll go upstairs to take a look, and then come down to find you."
As if afraid that Qi Xingzhou didn't understand, Jiang Ning held his shoulder with one hand and pointed in the direction of the stone bench below with the other hand: "You sit there and wait for me, I'll be down soon."
The situation was urgent. After Jiang Ning finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Xingzhou to reply, he turned around and walked quickly upwards.
Many people fled in panic from up there. Seeing Jiang Ning actually going against the flow, someone kindly reminded her not to go up. Jiang Ning said nothing and squeezed through the crowd before running up. The first thing she saw was an empty rooftop and a temple where people burned incense. There were passages on both sides of the temple.
Jiang Ning looked around and paused: "System, where are the people?"
The system didn't say anything, but after Jiang Ning finished speaking, a virtual arrow appeared in front of her, pointing her in the direction.
Jiang Ning ran over without thinking, and when he saw the bamboo broom leaning against the wall next to him, he grabbed it.
"Ah! Please! Stop cutting! Stop cutting!"
"Help! Help!"
…
The screams came into my ears, getting closer and closer.
When Jiang Ning hurried to the scene, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the bloody scene before her.
A man in black, holding a fruit knife, kept attacking the man in white who was pinned to the ground.
The scream that Jiang Ning heard just now came from the man in white. He was stabbed several times, and the flowing blood almost dyed most of his body red. Even the ground was covered with blood.
Next to the two people, there was a woman lying on the ground, her life or death unknown.
The man in white fell to the ground, waving his limbs, struggling desperately, begging for mercy, but the man in black seemed to be possessed by a demon, blood-thirsty, stabbing the man in white with a fruit knife, and angrily said:
"Why did you destroy my family!"
"Did you ask her to divorce me?!"
