Fallen into Xia Xinghe's Hands

Xia Zhi asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Logically speaking, wouldn't a knife be better for his purpose?

A baseball bat was more of a makeshift weapon…

Xinghe explained, "He wanted to kill us, yes, but it couldn't look like a premeditated homicide."

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Zhi questioned. How come he could never understand his sister's explanations?

Xinghe elaborated, "If we're found murdered, Chui Ming would naturally become the prime suspect. Therefore, our deaths must be arranged to look like an accident."

Finally, Xia Zhi understood. "You mean he planned to use the bat to knock us out and then create the false image that we'd perished in an accident?"

Xinghe nodded. "That's right."

By then, Xiao Mo had managed to find a lighter on Black Three's body. He frowned and speculated, "Looks like he intended to have us go by gas explosion."
