My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)

Walking with four people and two cars, they suddenly found out that there was no more tire tracks in front; however, there were four roads ahead, and they didn't know where to go. "Wait a minute. I will go check ahead. Maybe only the tire tracks are gone here, and there could be still tire tracks ahead." Kevin let everyone to wait for him, as he went to check for trails. "There are exactly four roads here. Let's split up, so that it will be faster." Richard saw that there were exactly four roads, and each of them could check one road.

"Okay, then we will all go check them; it will indeed be faster." The remaining two people also agreed.

The four people then each went to one road to check which road had the tire tracks they had seen a while ago.

Richard walked a very long distance on the second road from the left, and he didn't discover any tire tracks or foot prints. Maybe this wasn't the right one to walk, but the other roads were?

He then walked forward again for a while, but he still didn't find anything. He took out the walkie-talkie from Kingsley's car to contact the others.

They all got the same result; the four of them didn't find any tracks. This Matt Wilson was really careful as he wiped out all his tracks.

Richard was standing on the road he was checking on. The sun was shining hot on his head. His body had just recovered, and at this time, he was panicking and had trouble breathing. He found a place on the side of the road and sat down. His head full of sweat made him very dizzy.

"Richard, Richard." Kevin was calling Richard from the walkie-talkie, but Richard at this moment was weak and tired. He tried to pick up the walkie-talkie to say something to Kevin, but the walkie-talkie seemed to be like playing him, as it bounced away.

When Richard tried to pick up the walkie-talkie, he entirely fell down to the ground; however, it was when he fell to the ground, he saw a button which was the same as before and was covered in the soil. If he didn't fall down, he definitely wouldn't have discovered it.

"I can't go on anymore." Between the walkie-talkie and the button, Richard chose the button and tightly held it on his hand, and then he didn't know anything afterwards.

"Not good, Richard can't do it anymore. We have to find him." Kevin contacted the other two. The three gathered and went towards the place of Richard.

Richard was lifted up, and Andy Baker fed the water they brought to Richard. He fiercely drank the water, and then he felt alive again.

"Richard, Richard, you can't do this. How about you take a rest, and the three of us continue to search." Andy took Richard's pulse and found out that his pulse was beating very fast. "There is no need. You guys take a look at this." Richard opened his palms to show it; it was the same button as the one they had seen by the door. He showed it to everyone. "Isn't this the button a while ago?" Kevin picked up the button from Richard's hand.

"No, I found it here. Isn't it the same with the one we found on the door of Matt's mansion?" Although Richard was still weak, he was very excited. "Really? Then they probably had gone through here! Let's drive the car here, and continue chasing down this road." Kevin pointed at the road and said.

Although Richard's body was very uncomfortable, he still persisted, as Amy Miller's safety worried him.

After running for ten kilometers, they had finally seen again the same tire tracks as before.

That button was indeed a mark left by Amy for them.

After running a distance of more than thirty kilometers, they arrived at a small fishing village. It was really small here, and there might only be forty to fifty families on the shore.

The four of them arrived at a house of a fisherman and asked an old master who was darning fishing nets, if she had seen strangers entering the village.

The old master only continued to darn the fishing nets and didn't talk to them. After speaking a few words, they thought that the old woman might be a mute.

"Forget about it. Let's go see if there are other people and ask them." Kingsley looked around, and really didn't find anyone else. This fishing village was so weird. Maybe they had gone fishing at this time, but there probably should have women and children at home. Now, there was nothing.

After going around the village, the observant Kevin finally found a home with a person.

He waved his hand at the three people. There were probably too many of them that had scared that person, so Kevin decided to go by himself.

The house was very dark inside; there wasn't a single lamp. Kevin walked into to house. He clearly saw a woman's figure going in, but suddenly she disappeared.

After walking around the room, Kevin couldn't her anywhere. He checked all the places where she could have hidden and didn't see where that woman had gone.

At the end, Kevin could only walk out dejectedly. He looked at the three people whose eyes were filled with eagerness, but he could only shake his head.

"Then let me go check, since I have a better temper." Kingsley was preparing to go in; they really did see a woman entering this house.

"I'll go." Richard stood up, but his body was shaky.

"Forget it. It's better for you to stay here. If you go in, we would be worried on the outside." Andy looked at Richard's condition; he still had fever.

"Then you guys should take notice of the bottom of the box and water tank; look if there's any secret passage." Richard also felt that it wouldn't be good for him to go in, so he could only remind Kingsley. Kevin looked impressively at Richard. He didn't think of secret passages when he went in a while ago.

"Okay, I understand." Kingsley nodded. Richard's reminder made him prepared in mind.

After helping Richard sat down, Kingsley went into the house alone. This house was made from piles of stone, probably due to typhoon was relatively strong on shores. The houses were very short and sturdy. After Kingsley entered, he went directly to the kitchen. There were two large water tanks in the kitchen. He uncovered and looked; they were filled with water.

He tried to carry it, but he couldn't. If he couldn't do it, that woman probably couldn't also do it, and that meant it was impossible to have a secret passage below the water tank.

Kingsley put the cover back on the water tank, and he went to check on the other rooms.

Just when he entered another room, a woman really did get out from the bottom of the water tank.
