Chapter 3: The Cruel Reality
"Da... Da... Da... Da"
The alarm clock next to the bed is still walking word by word, so clear.
The small hands on the alarm clock seemed to be stirring Tianling's heart all the time, making his heart beat extremely violently.
The mobile phone in his hand also became blurry at this moment, and only the stinging eyes of the clear line of words:
[Member Ichishin Enran (nickname) has died, the place of death is the real world, and has been removed from the group]
It's not true, it's not true!
Tian Ling frantically looked for contacts, dialed the phone, and then, after a long wait...
[Hello - Hello, I'm Enron, please leave a message if you have something, or don't stay]
After a long time, putting down the phone, Tianling seemed to be able to hear his own tinnitus, filling his entire head, and his hands were unusually cold.
How is it possible that his girlfriend, who was glued to himself a few hours ago and patiently taught him how to survive on Black Reef, suddenly died for no apparent reason?
No, no, this must be someone's prank! By the way, Enron told me the location of her house before, it's not too far, I have to go to her, go now!
Thinking of this, Tianling jumped out of bed, put on his coat and rushed to the door, and when he arrived at the door, he couldn't help but stop.
An inexplicable sense of panic permeated his whole body, after all, he was just a student, and he knew so many unimaginable things today, and his intuition told him that Enron's matter must be related to this Black Reef discussion group, and he was a little afraid to explore everything behind it.
The fear intensified, and at this moment, a sense of pain made him sober up, and at some point, Tianling's left hand was tightly twisted on his thigh.
"Rubbish! Are you going to sit idly by? ”
After yelling, he looked up sharply, closed the door and rushed downstairs.
It's already night, and the streets that are usually full of traffic, but tonight it seems that God has deliberately done it, and there is not a single passing car in sight.
It seems that he wants to add color to this rehearsed bloody script, and it rains at night in the sky.
The raindrops were not heavy but very dense, and Tianling felt that his body had turned into a shriveled sponge, absorbing all the rainwater that was drenched on his body.
No, you can't wait for the car if you go on like this, you have to go back and find a way, Tianling thought like this and ran back to the community.
There are a lot of cars parked downstairs in the community, none of which belong to him, because of schooling, although he has a driver's license, but there is no car.
He was so poor that he could barely make ends meet with the money he earned, including tuition and rent.
Finally, in the innermost part of a carport, Tianling found a very dilapidated bicycle with rust on the handlebars and unlocked.
He couldn't care so much, he pushed the car out, moved the handlebars and wheels a few times, and after feeling that there was no problem, he rode towards An Ran's house.
In the rain, the window of a house upstairs was slammed open from the inside, and the gray-haired old man Wang stretched out his head and shouted to Tianling's back who was about to disappear in the rain: "Hey! Brat! I still want this car! ”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, there were no pedestrians on the streets, no cars passing by, and everything seemed so unreal except for the rain that fell on me.
Tianling, who was bent on riding towards An Ran's house, didn't feel it at all, at the intersection behind him, a cold man in a black leather coat was standing under the street lamp, staring at him with his hands in his pockets,
The man's clothes were not wet at all, and he didn't dare to approach him even a drop of the heavy rain that was drenched in the sky.
"Squeak-squeak-"
The worn-out bicycle made an unsightly arc in the rain and was then left downstairs, where An Ran usually lived in a small three-story apartment, where her parents had been doing business for a long time, and she was often the only one who lived on her own.
Tianling didn't know which room it was, but there was no need to look for it door to door, there were two police cars parked downstairs, and there were many people standing around.
Most of them are looking towards the second floor, with a look of regret and happiness,
Tian Ling had a hunch in his heart that this might be his last chance to see her.
Walking towards the second floor with numb legs, the people in the corridor saw this wet young man walking upstairs silently, and they all had a guess in their hearts, and they sighed again.
"Alas, this young man is Xiao An's boyfriend, he looks very good, how sad it is to see it for a while."
"Yes, she Aunt Li, how polite that little girl is, last time I went to buy vegetables and couldn't carry it, she helped me bring it back, looking soft and weak, her strength is not small."
"Hey, listening to you say this, I also remembered one thing, once I had insomnia in the middle of the night, so I wanted to get up and pour water to drink, but I saw her holding a big bag in her hand from the window, jumping directly from the second floor, and wearing high heels, I can see it clearly, mother, you say, will she be..."
"Go and go, I said her Aunt Liu, why are you so gossipy, this person is gossiping behind his back just now."
"Didn't I say anything yet..."
Tianling didn't hear the conversation of the leaders, in fact, he couldn't hear anything anymore, and in front of the innermost door on the left side of the second floor, he was stopped by the red barrier at this moment.
There were three policemen in the room and a man in a white coat, the man wore a pair of thick round gold-framed eyes, and the pocket of the coat revealed half of a domestic latex powder-free glove, and was looking down at An Ran, who had fallen to the ground on his back, lifeless.
A policeman next to him said to the man in white while recording: "The deceased's name is An Ran, 21 years old, the time of death was around 9 o'clock in the evening, the deceased entered the apartment at 8 o'clock, chatted with a neighbor named Liu Lili (Aunt Liu) and returned home, and then was found by a neighbor passing by, saying that the door of the house was open at that time." ”
Another police officer continued: "The cause of death was a penetrating wound to the head, as if it had been pierced by a bullet, but the strange thing is that there was no gunfire at that time, there was no trace of bullets in the house, and even the surveillance video was blurred.
This apartment is very high-end, and the monitoring system is imported from Sam Country, although it is not as good as the quality of our Huaxia Country, but there will be no problems in general. ”
At this point, the policeman noticed it and looked back, and there was a young man who was originally quite handsome, and the rain and tears from his hair merged into one and slowly dripped on the young man's chin.
"Hey, what are you, didn't you see the cordon at the door? Please get out! ”
Tianling didn't move at all, just lowered his head, looked at An Ran, who fell to the ground, with a frightened face before he died, and said to everyone word by word:
"I'm her boyfriend, she was with me until she got home, and then she was killed, and I think I know who did it."
The man in white on the side was stunned after hearing this, and slowly turned his head, just looking at Tianling.
The heavy spectacle lenses didn't seem to be able to completely block out the blue-blue flames emanating from the man's right pupil.
For example, the strange skeleton that has just met is like an old friend.
