Volume 1 The Nightmare Chapter 18 The Interrupted Clue
The hands holding the steering wheel were full of sweat, Zhuo Man was in a trance, she couldn't see the scene in front of her clearly, and suddenly the person with no facial features appeared in front of the headlights, Zhuo Man subconsciously hit the steering wheel to the left, the sharp brake sound punctured the eardrum, the car hit the isolation belt next to it, the airbag on the steering wheel popped out, and Zhuo Man leaned on the airbag and red blood flowed out of his forehead. Zhuo Man stumbled out of the car, she didn't have time to estimate her injuries, her first reaction was to find the man with no facial features who had just appeared. However, Droman only saw a long tire track, and the man disappeared again.
Almost every day, Dolman could see the faceless man at a different time, and for days her fragile nerves were teetering on the verge of collapse. In desperation, she had no choice but to tell Zhang Ze what happened to her, she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Ze anymore, in order to forget him as soon as possible, but when she was the most vulnerable, the name in the address book gave her a huge sense of security. Zhuo Man finally understood that he still couldn't easily let go of his dependence on Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze's attitude warmed Zhuo Man's heart again, but she knew that there would always be a river between herself and Zhang Ze that could not flow. For a moment, she even hoped that the faceless man could end her life and not have to live so hard anymore.
Zhang Ze and Fang Fan were so anxious about Zhuo Man's affairs that they repeatedly watched the surveillance video in the parking lot, but still couldn't find any useful clues.
"Hey, it's too difficult, all you can use is these few surveillance videos. The rest is dictated by Zhuo Man, how can I check this! ”
"Don't worry, did you notice any strange places in the video?"
"Where?"
Zhang Ze, who was applying cooling oil to his temples, asked tiredly.
"Look at the night Dolman first met the Faceless Man again."
"I've watched it more than a dozen times, but I don't see any clues."
"Didn't you notice that the faceless man disappeared weirdly?"
"Disappear?"
"That's right, we've always focused on how he appeared, but we've ignored how he disappeared."
Zhang Ze watched the video carefully, and he noticed what Fang Fan said.
"He's literally gone."
Fang Fan smiled slightly.
"That's right. I calculated that the lights in the parking lot would turn off automatically every 5 seconds, while the rest of the time they were flickering on and off. The faceless man appeared after the lights went out, and when he disappeared, it was also after the lights went out. ”
"Is that weird?"
"You're missing the most important point."
"What?"
"The lights in the parking lot are occupancy lights. If the Faceless Man appears in the parking lot, the lights will turn off automatically and turn on instead. ”
"Are you saying the lamp didn't sense the presence of the faceless man?"
"It can be understood that it is difficult to explain the appearance and disappearance of the faceless man."
"Could it be a lonely ghost again? We really haven't taken on a case of a living person in this time. ”
"Let's see. You contact Dolman and we meet in her office. ”
Zhang Ze contacted Zhuo Man only to learn that she had been in a car accident, and the original plan to meet in the office had to be changed to the hospital, but fortunately there was no major problem.
"Dolman, how are you..."
Zhang Ze was surprised when he saw Zhuo Man, and his haggard face looked like an old woman and child. There was a thick layer of blackening under the sunken eye sockets, and Zhuo Man's skinny appearance made Zhang Ze's heart tighten. Zhuo Man didn't dare to face Zhang Ze's gaze, it was the first time she saw Zhang Ze since she came back from the United States, she didn't expect to be so embarrassed and haggard by him, Zhuo Man felt like a broken plaster statue. She didn't feel this way when Zhang Ze went to the mental hospital to find herself, she was sure that Zhang Ze was her own, and now he seemed like a gentle guest.
Zhang Ze sat on the edge of the bed, and Fang Fan lied about going to the toilet, in order to give them a little space of their own. Tears swirled back and forth in Zhuoman's eyes, and the sunken eye sockets controlled the tears just right, and she thought that another tear would burst from her eye socket. Self-esteem and face could no longer support Zhuo Man's delicate and weak body, and just like that, he collapsed into Zhang Ze's arms like a ball of noodles that had been placed for a long time.
"Zhuo Man, are you alright?"
Zhuo Man didn't speak, she shook her head vigorously in Zhang Ze's arms. Zhang Ze also realized how stupid his question was. He reached out and stroked Dolman's hair, perhaps the greatest comfort he could give her.
"He's a ghost, he's a ghost."
Zhuo Man sat up suddenly, his eyes red, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable fear. Fang Fan heard Zhuo Man's shouting and pushed the door in.
"Don't worry, Dolman, he won't be there again. You have a good rest, we will come back tomorrow. ”
Zoman hung his head and said nothing. Zhang Ze asked Zhuo Man to lie down and rest, and told the nurse to take extra care of her, Zhang Ze and Fang Fan left the ward.
"Where are we going?"
"We're not going anywhere, we're just staying in the hospital."
"Waiting for the rabbit?"
"That's right, but we're going to disguise ourselves."
Fang Fan smiled mysteriously at Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze's whole person was not good in an instant, he had already guessed who Fang Fan was going to find to help them dress up, but now there was no other way. When she got home, Wanli was holding a thick medical book and watching, and Yuehan was learning hacking techniques by the computer. This scene shocked Fang Fan and Zhang Ze, and neither of them dared to breathe, for fear of disturbing their learning atmosphere. Fang Fan pushed Zhang Ze behind his back, Zhang Ze looked back at Fang Fan with an embarrassed face, but his feet had already walked towards Wanli.
"Wanli."
"Shhhh
Zhang Ze immediately closed his mouth obediently and sat beside Wanli upright. After about 30 minutes, Wanli closed the book.
"When did you come back?"
Zhang Ze looked helpless.
"Wanli has something to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"We got a case, but we need to disguise ourselves, so please help me."
Wanli looked at Zhang Ze suspiciously.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay."
"Speaking so politely, did you do something to be sorry for me?"
In an instant, Zhang Ze's cold sweat was saved, and he deeply felt that the detective's job had to be done by a woman, and his ability to understand the details was simply outrageous.
"No... No, how could it be. ”
Wanli looked at Fang Fan, and that look was enough to force a battle-hardened veteran to surrender on the spot.
"Zhang Ze really didn't do anything to be sorry for you, it's just that this case is a bit..."
"Something?"
Wanli looked at Zhang Ze again.
"Oh, I'll be honest with you. This time it's Zhuo Man's case, she has been followed by a stalker for a long time, she has been tortured to the point of madness, and now she lives in the hospital, she really has no choice but to call me, and she and I have nothing to do except the case. ”
Wanli changed her posture, turned her body slightly to Zhang Ze's side, leaned on the sofa with her left hand on her cheek, and looked at Zhang Ze playfully.
"Why are you so nervous? Do you want to have something to do with her? ”
"Impossible."
Wanli immediately put away her playful expression and sat upright, which scared Zhang Ze a lot.
"I believe in you, and Zhuo Man is in the most difficult time now, you have to help her, not to mention that you have been protecting her before, you can't ignore it just because she is in decline now, you let it go, don't worry about me."
Just now, Wanli pronounced the sound of the two words on her body very strongly, and when Zhang Ze received this signal, cold sweat was already wet on her back.
"Oh, what did you just say I was going to do for you?"
"Help us get dressed up."
"Come on."
After a few hours, Wanli had already helped Fang Fan disguise, and when he came out of the house, Yuehan and Zhang Ze were shocked.
"Are you still my husband? That's how you're when you're old. ”
Yue Han curiously poked the makeup on Fang Fan's face with her fingers.
"Honey, it's your turn."
Zhang Ze swallowed his saliva and looked at Wanli who was holding a knife at the door. Zhang Ze tugged on the sleeve of Xia Fan's shirt.
"Did you use a knife when you were applying makeup?"
"Nope."
Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan with wide eyes, and then Wanli came over and patted Zhang Ze's shoulder, and said softly.
"Didn't you hear people call you?"
"Listen... Heard it. ”
"It's our turn."
Wanli left Zhang Ze a wink and turned around and walked into the room, and Zhang Ze followed cautiously. In the next few hours, there was a pig-killing howl in the room, and Fang Fan and Yue Han were silently praying for Zhang Ze. It took another hour or two for Zhang Ze to come out of the room, Fang Fan and Yue Han laughed when they saw it, and Yue Han stepped forward and quipped.
"Grandma, how old are you this year?"
"Don't... Don't make a fuss, this is Wanli carefully dressed me. ”
"Zhang Ze, you're bleeding."
Zhang Ze looked at his thighs and reached out to touch the blood that flowed out.
"No... It's okay. It's just a small accident, you know that with makeup, any accident can happen. ”
"Oh, yes, it's flowing out again."
Wanli walked over to them while intervening with a towel, and she stood beside Zhang Ze and slapped her left arm on Zhang Ze's shoulder.
"Honey, do you like the makeup I put on you?"
"Like like, a hundred likes."
"It's good to like it. Okay, let's get down to business. Zhang Ze has already told me the general situation of the case, and I have brought a camera contact lens for each of you, so that you can take pictures in the blink of an eye, so that you can take pictures of the suspect's appearance. ”
"That's amazing."
"This is all the credit of Yuehan, she programmed it single-handedly, and the photos you took will be uploaded to Yuehan's server immediately. And we can see what you see through this camera contact lenses. ”
At this time, Fan and Zhang Ze both felt that the whole person was not good.
October 3, 2019 19:15 PM
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze returned to the hospital, at this time the two looked to others as an elderly couple, they sat quietly on the bench at the door of Zhuo Man's ward, Zhang Ze quietly used his mobile phone to tell Zhuo Man that they were already in place, telling her not to be afraid. In order to avoid arousing suspicion from others, Zhang Ze went to each department to do an inspection, while Fang Fan stayed where he was and observed the surrounding situation.
22:26 p.m
The hospital suddenly had a power outage, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze's hearts tightened, and the emergency lights in the corridor were also on, but the light was weak and the visibility was limited, Zhang Ze rushed into Zhuo Man's ward.
"Zhuoman, are you alright?"
No one answered, Zhang Ze carefully groped to the side of the bed, he touched Zhuo Man's hand, and his hanging heart was temporarily put down. He shook Droman gently, but Droman didn't react in the slightest. Suddenly the faceless man appeared in the ward, Zhang Ze immediately pounced, but passed through the faceless man and slammed into the wall. The faceless man walked towards Zhuo Man, and when he was about to stretch out his hand, Zhang Ze got up from the ground, picked up the fruit bowl next to him and hit the faceless man, just like just now, the fruit bowl passed through the faceless man's body without causing him any harm.
Dolman woke up and screamed loudly when she saw the Faceless Man. In a hurry, Zhang Ze picked up Zhuo Man and ran out of the ward. At this moment, the two who rushed out of the room collided with Fang Fan.
"Hurry up, that's not a person."
Fang Fan grabbed Zhang Ze.
"Don't panic, take the stairs."
They walked slowly down the stairs.
"Shhhh
Fang Fan quietly walked down the stairs. There is a small storage room on the staircase between the two floors of the hospital, where some of the usual cleaning tools are stored. Fang Fan suddenly opened the door of the storage room and grabbed a man in blue overalls from inside. Fang Fan, Zhang Ze and Zhuo Man rushed home with this person.
"Why do you keep following Derman?"
"Big brother, I was wronged."
"Wronged?"
Fang Fan took out a miniature projector from him.
"That faceless man is probably in here, right?"
The man was speechless, and Zhang Ze and the others were even more confused.
"When Zhang Ze rushed into the ward, I found that a beam of light entered the ward, and then a faceless man appeared in the ward, which means that the faceless man was injected into the ward by this small projector, and you should have used this technique when you were in the parking lot."
Zhang Ze excitedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar.
"Say, what is your purpose?"
"I also collect money to do things."
"Who's the mastermind?"
"I've never met him, and every time he sends me the address, and then I go there and find the right place to set up the projector."
"And where did this come about?"
"He would email me the content every time, and then I would get it on the projector."
"Give me his contact information."
The man was about to speak, when the lights in the room went out, and everyone looked out the window at the moonlight, and a line appeared on the glass: "Mottled night, mottled cinnabar, everything will be judged." The lights came back on, and the man with a silver dagger in his chest died.
