Chapter 28: Terror Corner
What Luo Qiao didn't expect was that his encounter with Zhou Yu on the subway a few weeks ago would actually become a character in his novel.
What Luo Qiao didn't expect was that his appearance in this "Last Subway" was actually the identity of a man.
The content of the novel goes like this:
This night, Tiezi's heart mileage turned back and forth during the two-minute waiting for the train.
Subway No. 3 came from the other end of the tunnel, and unlike the empty cars in the past, there were people in the empty cars on this day.
A little boy who looks stunted has unruly yellow hair on his head, let's name him Huang Mao......
Seeing the yellow-haired Tiezi was not very happy, on the empty subway on the weekend, he didn't want others to disturb him and wait for An Lai to appear.
If you're lucky, the subway will go back and forth between Feng Shui Cemetery Station and Qinling Station without stopping, and An Lai will also come up on Qinling to face him.
Because in the two years that An Lai has disappeared, he has met with An Lai in this way three times.
Huang Mao sat in the position where An Lai had come up and sat before.
Qin Ling stood up, and the yellow hair wearing headphones still sat in his seat and didn't move for half a minute.
On the platform of Qinling Station, he clearly saw An Lai's figure. But after the car door opened, An Lai looked at the door for a while, and did not mean to come up.
He was anxious: "Anlai, Anlai......"
As usual, Ann Lai refused to say a word to herself, and did not seem to hear his cries.
He threw himself towards the subway door, but the door seemed to have an invisible barrier, no matter how much he tried to rush, he couldn't break through, and he could only watch as the subway door slowly closed, and then, An Lai's figure became farther and farther away from him.
Half a year! This is the opportunity he has been waiting for for half a year, just waiting for such an ending.
He looked at Huang Mao, who was sitting in his seat and was obsessed with his own world, and an unspeakable anger came out of his heart.
Because he felt that it was the appearance of this yellow hair that made An Lai stop meeting him.
He strode over.
"Hey ......"
Huang Mao was obviously stunned, and pointed his finger at himself, which was still wearing ugly green nail polish.
"Hey, man, are you talking to me?"
"Yes, you, get out of here at the next stop."
On this night, the subway went back and forth in front of Fengshui Cemetery Station and Qinling Station, and the two people in the carriage did not stop.
Unexpectedly, this stunted Huang Mao is a rather difficult to mess with, when Tiezi shouted a rolling word, Huang Mao didn't say a word, took his fist and called directly at his head.
Come and don't be rude, if it weren't for the appearance of this yellow hair, he should have spent a good time with An Lai quietly at this moment.
The two of them hit from one end of the carriage to the other end of the carriage, and they beat it darkly, and they don't know when they stopped.
When Tiezi came back to his senses again, the subway was crowded with the morning rush hour crowd again, and he was still sitting in his seat, how could there be a shadow of yellow hair in the crowd?
The female voice on the subway radio is broadcasting: "Feng Shui Cemetery Station is ......"
Seeing this book of "The End of the Subway", Luo Qiao never read it anymore.
This Zhou Yu actually wrote himself as such a character who could not be put on the stage, not to mention, and even changed his gender, Luo Qiao's heart was already on fire.
I originally wanted to make a phone call to question Zhou Yu, but I still held back.
Someone once said that most people who write novels are crazy, so why bother with a madman?
………………
The clown at the masquerade reception, the bartender, no one knows who he is?
The faceless man with the smell of mint perfume on his body, and no one knows who he is?
To be honest, Luo Qiao seriously doubted Su Mu's ability to handle the case.
Su Mu was also distressed, he said that finding suspicious people among so many people in the Venice Hotel was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Slightly different from the previous two cases, Wu Qian's cause of death was suffocation caused by strangulation of the neck, but compared with the first two cases in which the deceased's head was smashed beyond recognition, Wu Qian died a more dignified death and her face was not destroyed.
Su Mu analyzed that it may be because of the restrictions of the place, the first two crime scenes were outside, and the stones used by the criminals were taken locally, and of course there could be no stones on the seventh floor of the Venice Hotel.
It is not without clues, at the scene of the crime, a blue sneaker lace was the murder weapon that eventually led to Wu Qian's suffocation death.
The blue lace became the only clue.
There is a string of letters printed on the shoelaces, which are found to be the logo of a certain building club.
Originally, after knowing the logo of this building club, Su Mu's spirit was still shocked, but then a basin of cold water was poured down directly.
Because this fitness club called Fetes is located in X City, there are dozens of chain stores, and the scale is not small.
This sneaker printed with the logo of the Fits Club is a gift to give back to new and old customers for the club's anniversary not long ago.
According to the owner of Fetes, at least hundreds of pairs of sneakers have been sent out.
When the boss said this number, Su Mu suddenly had an urge to call Cangtian.
Su Mu didn't call out the sky, and the boss gasped again, saying that the sneakers customized by the club are divided into men's and women's models, and the blue laces belong to men's models.
Although the scope of the investigation is much smaller, after a few days of investigation, there is still no result.
There are more male customers than female customers who come to the gym to work out, but there are not many male customers who are eligible.
After investigation one by one, the male guests who fit the body shape of the faceless man were all ruled out one by one.
Once again, the case is in a stalemate.
However, in the process of this investigation, Su Mu found that Huang Xiaoya, the first victim of the serial murder, and Xia Tingting, the second victim, were both members of this fitness club.
Does this mean that the murderer has actually been by their side all along, or someone they are familiar with?
Huang Xiaoya's fitness club is not far from her unit, and Xia Tingting's fitness club is near her home. The distance between the two clubs is quite far.
According to Xia Tingting, she and Huang Xiaoya don't know each other at all, and there is no intersection in their lives at all.
So, what kind of bond connects the two girls who can't be beaten?
Luo Qiao, this dedicated girl, works overtime every day as usual.
Su Mu is also very dedicated, no matter how busy he is, all the knives in the sky will drive his Volkswagen car to pick up Luo Qiao from work.
On Friday night, after several days of investigation, the case seemed to have more and more points of connection, but it became more and more confusing.
When did the car drive downstairs in Xin'an Building, Su Mu was in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, Luo Qiao called and said that she would have to go downstairs in ten minutes, so Su Mu waited.
Light a cigarette, inhale and exhale, and the cigarette butt glows with sparks in the night.
After a few puffs of a cigarette, the phone rang abruptly.
The mobile phone pressed the hands-free button, and Xia Tingting's voice trembling because of fear came from inside.
"Sue, Officer Su, the masked man, I saw the masked man."
