Chapter 26: Horn of Terror
In the evening, after Luo Qiao got into Su Mu's dusty Volkswagen, the car had not started yet, and a person squeezed up from the back seat.
This person is Zhou Yu.
"Anyway, let's go by the way, Captain Su shouldn't mind taking a ride, right?"
He's all sitting down, so don't you let him down!
The Venice Hotel is a 30-minute drive from Chunzi Lane, with a ten-minute silence in between.
Su Mu was silent because a new case had happened, and as the captain of the criminal police team, he had almost no clue until now, and he was pondering the case in his head.
Luo Qiao was silent because tonight, she had a close contact with the legendary white mask man, facing the moment of life and death, as a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world, her heart was still more or less worried.
What kept her silent was that she watched as the murderous demon ran away from under her nose, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Zhou Yu, who has only dealt with a few times, Luo Qiao doesn't know about this person, but why does he keep not speaking, is it because he is weak in his heart?
After a dozen minutes of silence, she finally spoke.
"Zhou Yu, can I ask you a question?"
Zhou Yu's voice carried a hint of a teasing smile.
"Beauty, haven't you been asking me questions ever since I met you?"
Luo Qiao did not refute it, the reason why he was like this was entirely because Zhou Yu had many points that made people wonder.
"I asked this question before, you are in good condition in all aspects, why did you go to be a security guard at a cemetery?"
"I also said the reason, it's very simple, because the cemetery has a high salary."
"Don't talk nonsense, I asked for the hotel just now, I have already called the cemetery security room, and the person who answered the phone was the old Wang you said who loves to tell ghost stories. He told me that the monthly salary of a cemetery security guard would not exceed 6,000 a day, and that any job in X City would not be lower than 6,000. ”
"Actually, I can understand that you have this question, after all, few people are willing to work as a cemetery security guard. But Lao Wang should have told you that I did work there. I don't have any purpose, it's all dead people buried there, what motive can I have? I can't go there to work because I have a special fetish for the dead, can I? ”
"Who knows what kind of perverted fetish you have, Zhou Yu, let me tell you the truth! I've always had doubts about you about the night's events. You showed up at the right time, and you're over 180 tall, and the faceless man is no more than 170. Can he be your opponent? Will you be his accomplice? Deliberately let him go? ”
"Alas...... Woman, what a chaotic animal. I've said it several times, and I saw it fall over there, and I don't know if you're dead or alive. I can't ignore you for the sake of catching the murderer! What if you don't die? ”
"You're not dead."
"You mean you're dead, so is it a ghost talking to me now?"
Su Mu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Zhou Yu, 26 years old, from Luo'an Town, a suburb of X City, graduated from Wuhan University in 2014 with a major in psychology, went to the United States in the same year to study for a master's degree in psychology at Stanford, and returned from his studies this summer."
Luo Qiao was surprised, and immediately felt that his guess finally had a reason to stand up.
"I'll just say, a top student in psychology actually went to the cemetery to work as a security guard? Who will believe you if you have no purpose? ”
Zhou was silent, and Su Mu continued.
Tiezi, a best-selling author on the Internet, began to serialize the urban novel "The End of the Subway" on a website three years ago. "The End of the Subway" is about a game-loving cemetery security guard who takes the last subway after work, and a series of unexplained events that happen on the subway, which have been serialized to more than 3 million words so far. ”
Zhou Yu is still silent, Luo Qiao has always been unable to hold his breath.
"Lao Su, just now we were talking about Zhou Yu, a psychology master, why did he want to be a cemetery security guard, how did you get any strange writers, what kind of subway did you do?"
Su Mu chuckled twice.
"I think Zhou Yu can tell you the answer."
Luo Qiao's brain is still good, and after a few seconds, he slapped his head.
"Oh, I see, Zhou Yu is Tiezi, Tiezi is Zhou Yu, he works in the cemetery to experience life and find inspiration for his novels?"
Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders lightly: "It seems that you are not too stupid, you are right, the reason why I went to the cemetery to be this security guard is indeed because this novel has been serialized for nearly three years, and recently the inspiration has dried up a bit, rather than hiding at home and beating your head, it is better to experience it more practically." ”
When he suddenly knew that Zhou Yu was actually a best-selling author, Luo Qiao was really excited.
"I can't see it, you are actually a suspense novelist, you don't know that I am a loyal reader of suspense novels, and I must read your masterpiece when I look back."
"Miss, I'm writing an urban fantasy novel, not a suspense novel."
"It doesn't matter, it's all the same for me."
After eighteen bends in his brain, Rojo finally came to his senses.
"Lao Su, why didn't you tell me that Zhou Yu was actually a writer at the beginning? I've always suspected that he's in league with the Masked Man. ”
"Actually, I also knew about it an hour ago, you are right, the last time we met, I felt that this guy was a little wrong, why is it not good for a good young man to work as a security guard in the cemetery. But at that time, because of the tension of the case, his identity was not investigated in depth. Zhou Yu appeared here again tonight, and I had to be suspicious, so I asked Wang Dalong to check his identity. Otherwise, do you think he can sit in the back seat unharmed? I'll have to go to the bureau for at least one night. ”
Rojo continued to be excited.
"I didn't expect to be able to meet a living best-selling author in my lifetime, and this best-selling author actually saved my life. Tsk, look at this handsome and promising young man, it really refreshed my opinion of online writers. ”
"What do you think of web writers?"
"It's either bald or the Mediterranean, it's not the Mediterranean or a fat man with a big belly, and no matter how bad it is, it's a lewd young man who stays at home all day long."
Yes, Zhou Yu obviously didn't want to discuss his identity any longer, so he changed the topic.
"What do you think of that faceless man?"
Rojo: "Judging from the situation tonight, there seems to be no clue other than the shape of the body and the smell of mint perfume on the body. ”
"Have you ever wondered why the Faceless Man would attack you? Have you ever offended anyone? ”
"I'm such a beautiful girl who is loved by everyone, and I see flowers blooming, and I look natural and pollution-free, who will I offend?"
"Or was the murderer's target always the deceased, and you happened to be in that time period, so you became the target? Did the girl die before the faceless man did it to you? Or is it after the start? ”
Zhou Yu threw out a series of questions, obviously wanting to know something from Su Mu's mouth?
The car was parked in the parking lot at the entrance of Chunzi Lane at this time.
Su Mu said while driving the door: "You are just a writer, not a policeman, nor a detective who blows more evil than a fairy in the novel, so you don't need to know why?" ”
At the gate of the Lotus Community, when Zhou Yu was separated from the two, he said a word coldly.
"You say, the faceless man is not tall and thin. There is still a smell of perfume on the body, could this person be a woman? ”
Su Mu and Luo Qiao were surprised, and Zhou Yu denied his idea again.
"It's not right, when I fought him, this person was obviously a strength type, he should be a practitioner, and it didn't look like a woman to say that he was a woman."
