Chapter 193: I Know Your Secret
The combination lock of the gate was snapped tightly, making a crisp sound. Buttoning up his coat, he glanced back at the closed door and slowly approached the elevator.
It was early in the morning, and there were no pedestrians on the road, except for the sporadic few taxis that slowly drove past his car. The more you go to the suburbs, the more desolate it becomes, and the only cars on the road are slowly disappearing. In the end, even the street lights were gone.
The headlights lit up alone in the deep darkness, and the bright and dazzling xenon lamps could not resist the invasion of the night, and the light disappeared in the thick black in the distance. I don't know if she will wake up when she is home alone, and if she wakes up and can't see herself, she will be afraid.
These are not what he is most worried about at this moment, and the words on the text message are still stabbing his eyes, and they have also stripped away the sense of security in his heart.
Farther and farther away from the city, he slowly slowed down and stopped in front of a dilapidated building.
If you come to this kind of ghost place alone on a night without moonlight, you will either be crazy, a fugitive, or you will be forced to be helpless. He opened the door and walked down, looking up with the help of the headlights. The wilderness, the insects chirping everywhere, is really a place suitable for crime. He touched his body and tried to walk in by the light of his phone, but he only touched the empty pocket. Probably forgetting on the shoe cabinet when he went out, he found a flashlight from the toolbox and held it in his hand, picked up a wrench, turned off the lights, locked the door, and slowly walked in.
* It's quiet, and you can hear the sound of broken footsteps with every step you take. With his feet on the old dust and fallen leaves, and some unknown garbage, the slightly soft feeling of nothingness made his heart tighten nervously. In this kind of place, it's not strange that a ghost floats out in the next second.
1st, 2nd, 3rd floors......
It was all pitch black, and he was even beginning to suspect that the text message was just a paranormal event. Finally reached the fifth floor, there seemed to be a faint light on the other end of the empty corridor, Zhang Zhe tugged at his clothes to resist the cool breeze, and slowly paced over. The light grew clearer and clearer, and it wasn't until he reached the end that he could see a lamp in the corner of the innermost room. There is no door in the room, in such a dilapidated place, the doors and windows have already been taken away by the nearby villagers, and the cold wind blows in through the window without window frames, which makes people tremble. There was a mat on the floor, and a messy quilt was spread on top to show that there were still people here.
There was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, the cold air pierced his heart, and he raised the wrench in his hand and was about to turn back, when the pain of a blunt force hit him came from the back of his head. Zhang Zhe fell to the ground with a muffled snort, unconscious.
I slept quite comfortably this night, and when I opened my eyes, Zhang Zhe was gone, probably either running on the balcony or preparing breakfast. Chen Chen rolled a few times on the bed wrapped in the quilt, and then stared blankly at the window covered by the curtains, the room was gloomy, it looked very dark, did he wake up too early? She turned her head to look at the alarm clock, the electronic clock showed that the time was seven o'clock, it was not early, why was it still so dark.
She stood up and pulled back the curtains, which were cloudy.
Chen Chen held his forehead and remembered that the weather forecast said that there would be heavy rain in the past few days. Putting on her nightgown, she stepped into her slippers and walked out slowly. The weather is so bad, don't go to work if you don't have anything to do, and rainy days are the best time to stay at home and watch movies.
"Zhang Zhe." She whispered, but there was no response. She walked out of the door and looked on the balcony, but there was no one; There was no sign of him in the kitchen, the doors of the toilet and bathroom were open, and there was no sign of him.
Chen Chen frowned and looked closer and again, there was no one in the utility room, and the cloakroom was empty. She picked up her phone and dialed Zhang Zhe's number, and a few seconds later, his phone sang on the shoe cabinet at the door.
She walked over and took a closer look. Zhang Zhe was not at home, he didn't take his mobile phone, opened the shoe cabinet and put his sneakers quietly in place. A bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and Chen Chen felt a little bad. Zhang Zhe will not leave without saying hello, in the past, even if Chen Chen did not go to work, he would wake her up and say goodbye before leaving, it was too abnormal to disappear so quietly.
She frowned and recalled, hesitated for a moment to remember that there was surveillance at the door of the house. Chen Chen turned around and walked to the computer and turned on the surveillance video.
She recalled the time she slept, clicked start, and played at double speed. Chen Chen stared at the monitoring and didn't dare to relax. The corridor has always been quiet, there are only two households on this floor, the one next to it has been bought by Chen Chen, and it has not been renovated, as long as she and Zhang Zhe don't go out, there will be no one in the corridor. The time jumped to half past two in the morning, the door opened a gap, Zhang Zhe appeared at the door wearing a windbreaker, lightly locked the door, was stunned at the door for a while, and then left.
No one was told, nothing was said. Chen Chen suddenly remembered all the news he had seen about his lover leaving home without saying a word. If Zhang Zhe also plans to disappear quietly, how should she face it?
Shaking her head, she threw the idea out of the way, looking for it before she could say anything else.
She picked up the phone and called Zhang Zhe's friend.
"Zhang Xuan? Did Zhang Zhe go to you? ”
"Nope." Zhang Xuan's confused answer came from the other side.
Hang up, replay.
"Liu Chang? Did Zhang Zhe go to you? ”
"Didn't come, what's wrong?"
Hang up and continue.
。。。。。
It wasn't until all the people in the mobile phone who knew because of Zhang Zhe that they greeted each other to no avail. Chen Chen really felt frightened, did Zhang Zhe really leave, alone in the dark night, he didn't take anything, and disappeared so quietly.
When she received Chen Chen's call, Anna was sleeping dimly, and the rain outside the house was loud as if it was about to smash the glass, which was the most hypnotic for her. She picked up the phone irritably, and Chen Chen's voice came from the other side.
"Anna, Zhang Zhe is gone. Can you come? ”
There was crying and trembling in her voice, and she could feel her trembling through the phone, and Anna woke up in an instant.
"What did you say?"
"Zhang Zhe is gone, he's gone." She finally couldn't help it, Anna's voice gave her something to rely on, and Chen Chen broke down and cried.
"Are you home?"
"Hmm."
"Wait for me at home, I'll go now." Anna lifted the quilt, put on a coat, and ran out.
The rain was so heavy that there were few pedestrians on the street and few cars. It wasn't far away, but Anna parked downstairs in her car, opened the door and rushed into the rain.
When she walked in, Chen Chen was sitting on the sofa and curled up in a ball of sobbing, and when she saw that the tears that Anna had just endured had burst again, she hugged Anna, who was still wearing wet pajamas, and cried loudly.
"I'm here, what's wrong?" Anna asked quietly by her arm around her.
"Zhang Zhe. Zhang Zhe goes. Gone, he. He didn't. I didn't say hello. Just left. Her lungs were already choking and she explained to Anna on and off what was going on. But I don't know what else I can do after explaining.
Anna, who complained that Zhang Zhe was a 'stinky man', felt strange. If this was done by Zhang Xuan, she might not think it was strange, but Zhang Zhe would not. He saw Chen Chen's feelings Anna in his eyes, leaving was more laborious for him than killing him, especially this so-called sneaky disappearance, he would escape from life, but never for Chen Chen.
Now it's useless to reason and analyze, the authorities are confused, Chen Chen must have thought of these things clearly. Anna picked up her mobile phone and began to send a group message for everyone to come over, there will always be more ways to do it when there are more people.
Zhang Xuan was the first to appear with Xiaoyuan, and when he saw them, Chen Chen immediately let go of Anna, she didn't like to show weakness in front of outsiders, and the habit that had been cultivated in her bones made her continue to maintain her manners.
"Sister, what's going on?" Xiao Yuan ran over and grabbed his hand, looking at her anxiously. Chen Chen didn't reply, she didn't dare to open her mouth, for fear that she wouldn't be able to control the sound of sobbing.
Liu Chang and Zhou Ziang also rushed over, and Liu Ya's always serious face rarely showed a frowning expression. Anna explained the current situation for Chen Chen. But no one had a clue.
"Maybe he's run away." Liu Ya is really a blockbuster.
Zhang Xuan took the lead and waved his hand: "Impossible, they have been registered for a long time; And Zhang Zhe has been waiting for this day for a long time, and it is impossible for the knife holder to run around his neck. ”
"yes. Brother Zhang was very happy when he tried on the dress that day, and there was no reason to run away now. Zhou Ziang echoed.
"That's it, my brother won't." Liu Chang also agreed.
"Human nature is very fickle. Zhang Zhe is indeed mature and rational in his work, but emotionally like a child, you have also seen the extent to which he is dependent on Chen Chen. It's hard to guarantee that he won't feel scared at this time and won't sneak away like this. They didn't convince Liu Ya, in her opinion, Zhang Zhe's disappearance is the best evidence. She knew how cruel these words would be to Chen Chen if they were true, but if they were really the truth, she had to face them.
"Chen Chen, how do you unlock this phone?" Anna interrupted them while holding up Zhang Zhe's phone. Chen Chen stretched out his index finger and clicked on the fingerprint lock of his mobile phone, and with a click, the lock screen of his mobile phone switched and became the home page.
Without Chen Chen's consent, Anna began to swipe through the call log and various software, and the last missed call on the call record was Chen Chen's, and no one in the software spoke to him. Anna finally clicked on the text message, which is now almost unused.
Advertisements and push text messages have been blocked by him, and there is a text message lying quietly in the short message. The number did not show any remarks, and there was only one line on the content, but Anna felt a chill down her spine when she looked at it.
"I know your secret."
It was this text message, the last message Zhang Zhe received.
A chill seemed to rush from the tail vertebrae into Anna's brain: "What other secrets does he have that he can't tell now?" Anna turned her head to look at Chen Chen.
She looked at Anna with a confused expression. In the crowd, Zhou Ziang, who was standing behind, instantly changed his face.
