Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 063 Pen
Tian Hongtao is 31 years old and is an employee of a certain company. It can be said that most of his time is occupied by work. On the rare weekend, his boss asks him to stay and work overtime on the grounds that his performance is not outstanding. Although he works hard every day, Tian Hongtao, who is 31 years old, still has empty hands, empty pockets, and naturally an empty bed.
But even so, he believed that one day he could make it and become a part of this colorful world. Today, Tian Hongtao was still busy at his small desk as usual.
"Mr. Tian, I'm a police officer. Excuse me, I need to ask you about some issues."
"Police?" When Tian Hongtao heard Chen Ping say that he was a policeman, his heart tightened. He didn't know why a policeman would come to his door when he was a very honest citizen.
Tian Hongtao came to Chen Ping and whispered to him, "Mr. Policeman, I haven't done anything illegal, and I don't know anyone who has committed a crime. Did you find the wrong person?"
Chen Ping shook his head and asked, "I'm not mistaken. Your name is Tian Hongtao? You are 31 years old this year, and your hometown is Tunkou County?"
" yes."
"That's right, it's you! I don't want to leave a bad impression on your colleagues, so I didn't reveal my identity. I just told them that I'm a friend of yours and I want to ask you something. I hope I can cooperate with you, and I also hope you can cooperate with me. Otherwise, we have to go to the police station to talk!"
Hearing Chen Ping say that he did not reveal his identity, Tian Hongtao was grateful and said to Chen Ping: "Thank you, police comrade, if you have any questions, just ask, I will never hide anything!"
The two came to one side, and Chen Ping asked: "Have you experienced anything special in the past few days, such as encountering something strange, or feeling different from usual."
Tian Hongtao was stunned after hearing this. After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "Everything is normal. I work overtime until late every day and go to bed when I get home. It's all normal."
After Tian Hongtao finished speaking, Chen Ping stared at Tian Hongtao for a long time. Seeing that Tian Hongtao did not behave strangely, Chen Ping said sternly: "Mr. Tian, since you don't want to cooperate, then come with me now!"
"Comrade police, I swear, everything I said is true. These past few days I have been just like usual. I have not gone anywhere and went to bed as soon as I got home. You must believe me. I have worked hard in the company for so many years, and now I have finally satisfied our manager. If you take me away now, they will definitely suspect that I have a criminal record. I beg you, comrade police, please take me away!"
Chen Ping saw that Tian Hongtao did not seem to be lying. If Tian Hongtao was telling the truth, it would mean that he had no contact with the ghost beforehand, which would prove that the ghost had no opportunity to kill him. So what would the ghost do?
"From previous experiences, most of the dead died at home, which means the place where we meet the dead is the most dangerous. Although I don't know how the ghost will trick the dead this time, if I forcibly take Tian Hongtao away and keep him away from any place where there may be opportunities, then the ghost should have no way to deal with it!"
After thinking about it, Chen Ping made up his mind. He refused Tian Hongtao and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tian, you have to go back to the police station with me now, but as long as you cooperate, I won't make this public."
Seeing Chen Ping so determined, Tian Hongtao could only sigh and agree. Tian Hongtao went to ask his boss for an hour's leave. However, just as the two were about to leave, the courier delivered a package.
Seeing the package, Chen Ping felt something was wrong and immediately stopped Tian Hongtao from taking it: "This package is for you!"
The courier was stunned by Chen Ping's words. He glanced at Tian Hongtao beside Chen Ping and asked, "This?"
"Will you let me tell you about your story?"
"No! I'll give it to you!"
After being threatened by Chen Ping again , Tian Hongtao gritted his teeth and gave up the package. He didn't know why the police didn't let him accept the package.
When the courier saw Tian Hongtao said he had delivered it to him, he asked again: "Did you really deliver it to me?"
"Yes! I'll give it to you, why don't you go quickly!"
"Mr. Tian, please sign. I'll leave now!" Although the courier didn't know what was in the package, it was a relatively large package after all, so maybe there might be something inside.
The courier handed Tian Hongtao a pen, and Tian Hongtao impatiently wrote his name on the list. However, when he finished writing, he realized that the name he wrote was: "Sun Mingyu!" And the ink was actually blood red!
Seeing this scene, Chen Ping's expression changed a little. He grabbed Tian Hongtao by the collar and asked harshly: "You are not Tian Hongtao!"
Tian Hongtao said quickly: "I am really Tian Hongtao. I don't know why I wrote this name. Besides, who is Sun Mingyu? I don't even know him."
At this time, the courier asked stupidly: "Why did you write my name? I am Sun Mingyu!"
After saying this, the courier disappeared in front of him and Tian Hongtao with a look of horror on his face, and Tian Hongtao's expression suddenly became a little dazed.
Chen Ping secretly thought that this was not good. It was obvious that he had fallen into the ghost's trap. The ghost deliberately sent someone to deliver this package. Not only could the package not be accepted, but most importantly, the courier must not be signed. However, Tian Hongtao had already killed the courier with the help of the ghost. This meant that the ghost had already contacted Tian Hongtao and had the opportunity to kill him.
Chen Ping hurriedly looked at his watch. There were still three minutes left before Tian Hongtao's death. These three minutes were enough to do a lot of things. But just when Chen Ping lowered his head and then raised it again, Tian Hongtao disappeared!
Chen Ping looked around and found that Tian Hongtao had actually run to the desk of one of his colleagues, and the pen that Tian Hongtao had just thrown to the ground was now gone.
"Where is my pen? It was here just now?" Tian Hongtao's colleague searched up and down but couldn't find it. At this time, a pen was handed to him.
The person who handed it over was Tian Hongtao, whose eyes were already a little dull. His colleague thanked him and took it. Seeing this, Chen Ping immediately took out his gun and shouted: "Put down everything in your hands immediately! I am a policeman!"
When everyone in the company heard Chen Ping 's words, they immediately exclaimed and put down what they were holding. However, it was Chen Ping's shout that made the man holding the pen tremble, and he scratched on the paper: "Tian Hongtao's name!" He didn't expect that his hand was just shaking and should have only made a scratch, but he didn't know why he wrote Tian Hongtao's name.
After Tian Hongtao's name was written, his body began to rot rapidly, and eventually turned into a pile of bones scattered on the ground.
"ah--!"
Tian Hongtao died in the end. Seeing that Tian Hongtao was dead, Chen Ping turned around and was about to leave. However, he remembered the pen. After a slight hesitation, Chen Ping turned back, ran to the man and took the pen back!
Seeing Chen Ping coming out of the building, Zhao Liang, who was anxiously waiting for him outside, hurried over to greet him: "Senior Chen, is Tian Hongtao dead?"
Chen Ping nodded, and seeing this, the hope on Zhao Liang's face disappeared again.
"Alright! Tian Hongtao died in their company. I just pulled out a gun in front of those employees. Now we should leave quickly!"
Chen Ping did not tell Zhao Liang that he had obtained a fountain pen. He also did not want to tell anyone about this matter. He did not know if this fountain pen was still as magical as before, but he instinctively felt that this fountain pen was very unusual because he had seen a notebook among the items exchanged! In addition to health points, the prerequisite for exchanging that notebook was a fountain pen!
However, Chen Ping is still unable to confirm whether the pen he got is the one required for the item.
"I used to suspect that those items were just given out deliberately to confuse us, but if this pen is real, then there must be a hidden item in this mission! And I still don't understand how Li Xia died. If there is a hidden item in this mission, then could those two boxes be one of them?"
Through this pen, Chen Ping guessed many possibilities. When Wang Lin was still there, they had analyzed some items of item exchange, because those items not only required extremely high health points, but also required special items to be exchanged, and they had no idea how to get those special items. In the past, they had two speculations about those items, one was to obtain them in the advanced death base, and the other was to obtain them in each mission, but in previous missions, they did not find similar items, so they all believed that those prerequisite props could only be obtained in the advanced death base, but this time, the pen might be the opportunity to verify their speculation!
