September 27th.

Andy, who had just come out of the cinema, looked at her boyfriend expectantly - in his backpack, there was a gift for her.

It was her birthday present.

The boyfriend thought he bought it quietly, but when the boyfriend asked his sister for reference, the boyfriend's sister, who had already been bought by her, turned her face and told her what her boyfriend's gift might be.

In addition, the roommate in her boyfriend's dormitory informed her boyfriend's every move.

So, what the gift is, it's not hard to guess.

As for why those roommates helped her?

Because, she also has roommates.

Her boyfriend's roommates are all single.

Everything was just as she expected.

The latest bag right now, the one with willow spikes.

Very good!

Andy loves this black and metallic feel.

After a hot kiss, and after carefully and tactfully rejecting her boyfriend's request for a step closer, Andy walked into the dormitory building with a smile and a bag on his back.

She couldn't wait for those three guys to see her booty.

They're going to be jealous!

To Andy's surprise, she pushed open the door only to find that no one was there.

Not only was there no one, but there was also a power outage in her dormitory.

"Bad night."

Andy muttered under her breath that she was about to use her phone as a light, and just as she pulled it out, a sudden voice came from behind her.

"Bad night."

Exactly the same words.

Exactly the same tone.

It's all self-talking.

But Andy made sure he didn't speak.

She held her bag and her phone, shone it behind her, and shouted.

"Who?!"

"Come out!"

"Annie?"

"I saw you, you Bichi, you love to play these little tricks."

"Come out quickly!"

Behind him was the door, and no one answered.

But the repetition of words followed.

"Who?!"

"Come out!"

"Annie?"

"I saw you, you Bichi, you love to play these little tricks."

"Come out quickly!"

Andy, who thought it was a joke from his roommates for the first time, was shocked, but he was not afraid, because they often played this kind of game.

But this time is different.

Andy's heart was a little hairy.

She turned around again, expecting to use her phone to illuminate the dormitory behind her, and saw a few roommates smirking after a triumphant look.

But.

Nothing.

The dormitory was set up just as it was before she left.

Not even the half of the tiramisu that Anne ate on the table had not changed.

"Hey guys, come out."

"I'll admit you guys scared me a little."

Andy said as he stepped back.

Her hand had touched the doorknob, squirming slightly.

The door opened.

Andy continued to retreat.

She was ready to leave the dormitory and return to the brightly lit hallway.

The light shone in from behind him, and Andy breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back.

And then......

One foot in the air.

The lights are gone.

The darkness deeper than the dormitory completely swallowed Andy.

Yes!

Andy's screams still echoed.

Squeak.

The open door slowly closed.

Everything fell silent.

……

"Why hasn't Andy come back yet?"

Li Qianqian was wearing pink pajamas, holding a rabbit pillow, sitting on her bed and yawning.

"She's definitely going to have a hang out with her boyfriend!"

"I'm going to grab her pigtails and let her know that our sorority rules don't allow trampling!"

Milan, who has slightly dark skin and a toned body, said seriously, but the rolling eyes represent what the girl is paying attention to in her heart.

"So, punishment is necessary!"

Anna, who was wearing glasses, looked at her roommate's appearance and couldn't help but say.

"Punishment! Punish! ”

Li Qianqian, who was about to fall asleep a moment ago, immediately jumped out of bed.

The three of them began to set up quickly.

One of them slipped into the cabinet.

One stood behind the door.

One of them hid under the bed.

They want to scare their roommates.

Milanta is the one hiding behind the door.

As a sports student, she is tall and fit, stronger than ordinary boys, and she can't hide under the bed or in the cabinet at all.

"Did you think Andy would actually receive that bag?"

"I want it too!"

"But if I carry that bag, those guys will laugh at me."

"Besides, that bag is so expensive, why don't you go buy a new pair of sneakers...... Hey, Sissi and Anna, there's no need to be so serious, right? ”

"Andy hasn't come back yet."

"We can talk."

Milan said as she raised her hand and opened the cabinet.

In the cupboard, the clothes were hanging and piling up messily, but there was no Sissi. Lee's figure.

"Sissi?"

Milan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and lifted the bed cover.

There was also no one under the bed.

"Sisters, that's enough."

"We're here to scare Andy, but not mine."

Milan frowned.

She became the object of teasing for her.

Then, suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable in the back of her neck.

There is a slight itchy and chilling sensation.

Turn your head.

Hair?

A strand of hair hanging down from a high place appears in front of him.

Looking at the hair behind him, Milan subconsciously followed the hair strands and looked up.

A gray, black-eyed, bruised face appeared.

Yes!

Milan fell to the ground with a scream.

She gasped for breath.

Hands and feet are pulled back.

When he came to the door of the dormitory, Milan didn't think about it, so he pushed open the door of the dormitory and ran out.

And then......

Fall!

……

September 28th.

Lin Miaomiao is finishing up before getting off work.

Putting clothes back on hangers and cleaning fitting rooms are all musts.

Knock, knock.

"Hello, anyone?"

Lin Miaomiao knocked on the door.

No one answered, Lin Miaomiao pushed open the door and walked in.

There is no clothing in the fitting room.

But the slippers are messy.

It must be neatly arranged, otherwise her salary will still be deducted.

When you crouch down and put your slippers in the designated position—

Knock, knock.

"Hello, anyone?"

There was a knock on the door and an inquiry.

Lin Miaomiao stood up in surprise.

Today she is the shopping guide on the night shift, although she is not the only one, but as a newcomer, she has to deal with these trivial matters.

"Is that you, store manager?"

In Lin Miaomiao's opinion, only the kind store manager would help her at this time.

While asking, Lin Miaomiao opened the door of the fitting room that was not locked.

Outside the door, it was empty.

The mall's announcement sounded again.

"Welcome to Aiku Mall, we are open from 10am to 10pm, and we are still 15 minutes away from our closing time, so please bring your belongings and leave in an orderly manner...... Squeak, squeak! ”

Airplanes!

The sound of a thousand times of the same broadcast suddenly sounded a burst of electric noise.

The sound beyond the decibel level made Lin Miaomiao can't help but cover her ears.

And then—

Syllable!

After the crunch, all the lights disappeared.

Soon, the lights came back on.

The enthusiastic store manager found that the newcomer Lin Miaomiao was gone, the fitting room was still open, and the slippers were also placed, but the person was gone.

The phone is busy and cannot be connected.

When the situation remained unchanged the next day, the store manager chose to call the police.

……

Bang!

The officers watched as Sheriff Teddy slammed the door and walked out of the interrogation room.

There's no doubt that the guy they just got back wasn't the guy they were looking for.

When Sheriff Teddy walked to the whiteboard and pondered, the people around him really didn't dare to come out, and whoever dared to speak at this time would definitely become the target of public criticism.

You know, although this sheriff of theirs is thin, he has a rather short temper!

And recently?

John. The Decision case and the serial disappearance of the girl made the nerves of the sheriff even more tense.

No one will touch the mold at this time.

Even when the young assistant partner pours coffee, he is careful not to make a sound.

Teddy casually picked up his iced coffee.

No added sugar, no milk, completely pure coffee.

The cold, bitter liquid lifted the spirits of Teddy, who had stayed up late for a long time.

He gulped down a cup of coffee and stared at the whiteboard.

There are five photos on it –

Andy, 19, a sophomore at Aedja University, lost contact on Sept. 27.

Li Qianqian, 19, a sophomore at Aicheng University, lost contact on September 27.

Milanta, 19, a sophomore at Aycity University, lost contact on September 27.

Anna, 19, a sophomore at Aedja University, lost contact on September 27.

Lin Miaomiao, 22, shopping guide, lost contact on September 28.

(Note 1: The social relations of all missing persons are clear, excluding vendetta and love killings.) ）

(Note 2: All missing persons are inexplicably missing, there are no witnesses, no surveillance filming.) ）

(Note 3: When Lin Miaomiao disappeared, there was a short power outage.) ）

……

The people in each photo are young and beautiful women with bright smiles, but the text description below makes these photos dim.

Especially as the investigation deepened, everyone's hearts sank.

Half a month has passed since the first collective disappearance, and the best rescue time has already passed.

No one knows better than Teddy as a sheriff what it means to miss the best time to rescue.

That's why he became more and more impatient.

He wanted to find common ground.

But unlike other serial disappearances, there are too many things in common: young, beautiful, energetic girls, similar family composition, and so on.

When one path doesn't work, try something else.

Therefore, when Lin Miaomiao's disappearance was received again, Teddy temporarily classified it into a serial disappearance case.

He wants to find a difference!

If you can't find the common ground, then find the difference!

Special, always meaningful!

This is what Teddy told him when he was a police officer.

Now, he has become a sheriff and still chooses to believe in this phrase.

Sitting there, Teddy flipped through the pages of the file.

Teddy had read these files more than ten times.

It's almost backwards.

But when he re-read it this time, Teddy inadvertently thought of the woman just now, and then, Teddy, who thought of something, immediately looked up the information.

After a few moments, Teddy stood up.

"What about the woman?"

"Where did she go?"

"I've left after recording my confession."

The subordinate replied.

"Send someone for me right now to get them back!"

Teddy shouted.

Then he rushed to the technical section.

Sending people is the first step.

But he wasn't going to wait here, he needed a quicker and more detailed route about the woman.

Soon, Teddy found the woman.

His feet staggered, and his figure staggered into the ...... Ye no Restaurant.

"Here again?"

Sheriff Teddy frowned.

Then, he turned around and ran downstairs.

One or two coincidences are enough to make anyone suspicious, let alone a cop like Teddy, who is full of speculation about the restaurant and the two brothers who frequently appear in his field of vision.

You're welcome, and Teddy pushes the door open.

At a glance, Teddy saw Qin Ran behind the bar, and Amy who collapsed in the corner.

After confirming that Amy was just drunk and nothing else, Teddy breathed a sigh of relief and turned and walked to the bar.

"Is she a regular customer?"

Although there were many speculations and questions in his heart, Teddy did not question Qin Ran, but pointed at Amy curiously as if he was an ordinary guest.

"She?"

"Sort of."

"I've been open here for three days."

"She came three times, and each time she was drunk."

Qin Ran said truthfully.

"So, you wrote a notice to receive alcoholic guests and not sell alcohol?"

Teddy asked with a smile.

"Not against her."

"It's for all alcoholics."

Qin Ran replied.

"Do you know about the recent bizarre disappearance?"

Teddy asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"It's described in great detail."

Qin Ran picked up a newspaper and handed it to Teddy.

Teddy didn't read the newspaper report, he knew too well about the above report, it was just chasing the wind and speculating.

What curses, what ghosts, how is it possible?

"What do you think?"

Teddy stared at Qin Ran.

"What do you mean?"

"Does that mean what it says in the newspaper?"

"It's fun, it's a good time to pass the time in the evening."

Qin Ran said, putting away the newspaper.

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

"What I want to ask is your opinion."

Teddy said in a deep voice.

"No opinion."

"Disappearances are something you should be in charge of, not me."

"I'm just a restaurateur, and I'm still the kind of person who is struggling to make ends meet, so, if I can, about John. Can Diesson's bounty be given to me first? ”

Qin Ran shook his head and said very seriously.

And the corner of his eye is looking at Amy, who is drunk.

What a big hassle!

Qin Ran said in his heart.

The moment Teddy appeared here and asked about the disappearance, coupled with his previous nervousness about Amy, Qin Ran was not a fool, so he naturally guessed something.

He wasn't stupid enough to say it, though.

Unless he wants to entangle with the teddy in front of him.

"Really?"

Teddy looked at Qin Ran scrutinically.

He expected to see something from Qin Ran's face and eyes.

It's a pity that covering up has long been an instinct for Qin Ran, and Teddy naturally didn't see anything.

Just when Teddy was thinking about whether he really wanted to take Qin Ran back to the police station to ask, a noise sounded from outside-

"Boss, this is it!"

"The woman who just smashed your head went into this restaurant."
