Chapter 12: Seeing the Dead

"Squeak".

Then I heard the sound of the door opening, and the person who heard the sound must have entered the house.

There is only one person, and he still has a small flashlight in his hand, could it be a thief? This thought flashed and was replaced by another thought: his purpose is not the same as ours!

"Just one person, or let's ...... him"

I want to say that the two of us rushed out and had a "two birds and one bird", I think my physical fitness is good, although Wu Yuhui is a woman, but he is a criminal policeman, there must be two hits, two against one, and then a surprise attack, it should be a victory.

As long as you control people, won't the truth be revealed?

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuhui shook her head and refused, she gently pulled me and slowly walked to the small window.

I can't guess what she thinks at this moment, doesn't she want that person to recognize who we are?

The kitchen window was dilapidated, and a few panes of glass were barely intact, and the whole thing was pasted with a piece of worn-out linoleum paper. So we were squatting in the window, and we could see through the gap in the linoleum paper, but we couldn't see from the outside.

The two of them waited for at least seven or eight minutes, and they didn't come out, and I felt that my eyes were sore, and then my attention shifted to my ears, but I couldn't hear any movement. Once again, I experienced the taste of living like a year, it was already October, and the night in the countryside was quite cool, but the two of them nestled side by side in a narrow space, really embarrassed.

Gradually, my palms became sticky, my back was itchy, I could feel beads of sweat running down my back, and what made me even more distressed was that Wu Yuhui leaned on me tightly, pressing the weight of his whole body on me.

Female detectives are also women, and physical strength is a problem......

At first, I felt a little embarrassed, and I was afraid that I would make any movement if I moved, so I had to be hard. Standing up, soon my legs were numb and I didn't feel anything. After a few more minutes, a "squeak" was heard at the door, followed by a halo of light on the floor of the courtyard, followed by the sound of slight footsteps.

People are out!

My heart instantly hung in my throat, I held my breath, restrained the excitement in my heart, and put all my attention into the halo outside the crack in the door, first I saw a black figure slowly moving forward, and then a person dressed in black appeared.

Although the light was dim, I still recognized the person's appearance at a glance, and when I saw this face, I intuitively felt that my scalp was numb, and my whole body felt as if I had been struck by lightning.

Lao Hong? The person who flashed outside turned out to be Lao Hong. But how is this possible? Isn't Lao Hong dead! For a moment, my mind was in a mess, and I even felt that everything I was experiencing at this time was a dream.

The person flashed by, and soon there was a series of trivial sounds by the courtyard wall, it should be Lao Hong who climbed the wall and jumped out, and by the time I came to my senses, at least a minute had passed.

Wu Yuhui, who was beside me, seemed to sense my mood change, and gently pulled my pants again.

"Why, do you know the old man outside?" She asked softly.

I took a deep breath, sat down on the ground, and instead of answering directly, I asked her, "Why didn't you agree to rush out and grab that person just now?" ”

Wu Yuhui also sat on the ground, and after being silent for more than ten seconds, he said slowly: "Do you know what it means to startle a snake?" Besides, even if you catch him just now, what can you do? If he insists that he is here to steal, this situation is still an attempted theft, and he will be released after a few days of detention, which is not good! ”

My mind was a little confused, and I couldn't tell for a moment whether she made sense or not.

"Do you know this old man?" Wu Yuhui asked me again.

I snorted coldly: "Not only do I know, but I also know him very well, he is my former colleague!" ”

"Former colleagues? What, retired now, or transferred? ”

"Dead! Just a few days ago, I died on the edge of the Yellow River, and half of my head was bitten by something! I whispered back.

"What? The deceased in the murder on the banks of the Yellow River that night? This...... How is this possible? Wu Yuhui also exclaimed, his voice trembling.

"I knew it couldn't be, that's why I'm so shocked! Something must be wrong here! ”

The room fell silent for a moment, and I felt even more cold, as if something was blowing at me in the darkness around me.

"Let's get out of here!"

Wu Yuhui patted me lightly and slowly stood up, I could feel her breathing becoming a little short.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the gate, a flash of lightning flashed through the sky, followed by a thunderclap.

When they trotted back to the car, their clothes were already soaked, and they sat down and closed the door, and the breathing of the two people in the car came and went. Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if it had fallen from the sky.

What's going on? Is the person just now Lao Hong, I keep repeating the picture I just saw in my mind, that face, and even the way he walks, it is clearly Lao Hong, who has been dead for several days.

Sending Wu Yuhui home, she didn't say anything along the way, and didn't leave the sentence until she got out of the car, "This matter must be kept secret for the time being, don't tell anyone, everything is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."

In fact, Wu Yuhui's actions also surprised me, she is a criminal policeman, and the sister of the deceased, but she secretly acted like a thief at night, and now in retrospect, I also suspect that she was being monitored...... To say Dali, don't you just die! It's the same as dealing with state spies.

When I returned to the dormitory, it was already one o'clock in the morning, probably because of the sudden rainstorm, and the entire water conservancy station was without power.

I shuddered and turned on my phone and found half a candle by the fluorescence of the phone screen.

I didn't care about changing my clothes, my mind was full of "100,000 whys", in addition to doubts, when I thought of Lao Hong, a feeling of fear gradually welled up in my heart.

When he went down to the river for the first time that day to salvage, Lao Hong insisted on going into the water for Tian Zhen, and insisted on going down alone, now that I think about it, this thing is not quite right, and the experience of that night is even more inexplicable, but the most frightening thing is that Lao Hong is obviously dead, how could he appear at Wang Yujue's house late at night?

The pouring rain didn't stop until about 9 a.m. the next morning, and I stayed up all night when I saw that the rain had stopped, and I wanted to open the door to breathe. As soon as I pushed the door, I saw that the entire courtyard of the water conservancy station was flooded, and when I looked down, the water had barely reached the top step.

It's October, how could it rain so much! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Li Guozhi called a few of us to a meeting, I wanted to ask him about Lao Hong, after I woke up from the hospital that day, it was he who told me the news of Lao Hong's tragic death, in fact, I never saw Lao Hong's body from beginning to end.

Thinking of what Wu Yuhui said after getting out of the car last night, he still controlled it.

The shallowest water in the yard was knee-high, and the water outside must have been deeper, and the Yellow River must have flooded, so we were called to a meeting so early in the morning, and we could guess with our toes that it was for flood control and drainage.

Li Guozhi sat in the office with a gloomy face, Tian Zhen and their faces were not good-looking, everyone knows that doing our profession is very idle when they are free, and it is likely that they have nothing to do for a few months, but when they are busy, it is really terrible.

"I received a call from the bureau in the morning, and I definitely can't avoid this job......" Lao Hong said straight to the point.
