转身朝岸上游来时,克莱沃豪斯破天荒地头一次意识到了危险,撒腿就向远处跑。
正如我预测和计划的那样,狗上岸后,就紧追克莱沃豪斯不放。
噢,我想告诉你们的是,那简直是太棒了!
在此之前我已经描述过这里的地形,那个水湾位于一个圆形山谷中,水湾的上游和下游遍地是垫脚的石头。
于是,克莱沃豪斯和“女战神”
踩着那些垫脚石追来绕去,上蹿下跳的。
如果不是亲眼所见,我简直不敢相信那样一个笨拙的人竟然跑得那么快。
但是,尽管他跑得那么快,“女战神”
却在他后面紧追不舍,并且离他越来越近。
正当要追上他时,克莱沃豪斯使出全身的力气猛地向前一跃,“女战神”
也随之一跃,鼻子正好碰到他的膝盖。
猛然间,一道火光闪过,一股烟柱冲天而起,可怕的爆炸终于发生了。
等到能看清楚时,发现地面上除了一个大坑外,之前的那个男人和那条狗都已经灰飞烟灭。
“非法捕鱼时死于意外事故”
——这是验尸员下的结论。
我就是这样干净利索、天衣无缝地除掉了约翰·克莱沃豪斯,并得意于自己的这种办事风格。
这件事既没有拖泥带水,也不野蛮凶残,因此,在整个实施过程中我没必要感到愧疚,我敢肯定你也会这样想。
从此,他恶魔般的狂笑再也不会回**在群山之间了,他那张肥胖的圆脸再也不会惹我心烦了。
现在,我的生活又恢复了平静,连晚上做梦都觉得很香了。
