chattered all the way, and then chattered to the destination.

Not to mention, there are quite a lot of people, and the sheds built outside for the waiting diners to settle down and rest are full of people.

At first glance, I thought I had arrived at Haidilao.

Fortunately, Su Ping booked a large table private room, although it was full, but no one lined up, and after waiting for about half an hour, the people at the table were full and cleaned up, and they sat in.

Su Ping roughly nodded the head, decided to eat the frog according to the standard of two and a half catties per person, and ordered some side dishes such as loofahs and potatoes at the same time.

……

I won't go into detail about the eating process, and the poison monster lacks virtue in the middle of the night.

In short, after eating "without danger or danger", Su Ping also routinely teased Xun Mu for a wave, and a group of people ate and drank, bragged and farted, and played until more than nine o'clock, and after AA paid the money, it was over.

Subsequently, the tense detachment relaxed slightly.

……

Until four days later.

On this day, Qi Yuan got off work on time rarely, but when he got home, he was a little bored, so he turned on the projector, planning to pick some movies to watch.

It's a pity that I picked a circle, and I was not interested.

Affected by the epidemic, the film market is very weak this year, there are not many good dramas, either he has already watched them, or he is still in the protection period, and the video software has not been launched.

He also doesn't want to look for pirated copies, not authentic.

So he ordered a comedy at random, but he didn't interest him at all, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he was about to fall asleep.

But at this moment, he faintly heard a scream......

Qi Yuan sat up abruptly, then raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Where did the screams come from, I'm afraid that the nerves are too sensitive and delusional.

Shaking his head, Qi Yuan planned to turn off the projector and simply go to bed early.

But......

As soon as he grabbed the remote control, another scream reached his ears.

He hurriedly stood up, his expression becoming serious, and at the same time leaned slightly to the side.

Another scream hit, and Qi Yuan's eyebrows twisted.

The sound is not loud, faint, the distance should not be close, or there are several floors to block it. I can roughly tell if it is on the west side, but it is difficult to determine whether it is up or down.

When it comes to the west......

He hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, took his mobile phone and went out.

"I didn't have the key to TM with me!" As soon as he closed the door, he chuckled in his heart, but he couldn't care too much, scolded a few words, and listened carefully to the movement with his breath, and at the same time flipped out the WeChat on his mobile phone, and immediately found Su Ping and told him about it.

The screams still sounded intermittently, and it sounded like it was quite sufficient......

And in the corridor, it was more clear.

Thinking about it this way, the screams must have come from this building. At the same time, the sound insulation of this building is not good, so it should be the floor near here.

It is estimated that it will not exceed four floors.

And Qi Yuan is greedy for cheap, and rents the top floor and the eighth floor.

So it's Yazi on the third or fourth floor?

He immediately went down.

Sure enough, the screams gradually became louder, confirming his judgment.

But......

Suddenly, an extremely high scream came out, and the sound sounded at least thirty decibels louder to Qi Yuan's ears, but then it stopped abruptly, as if it had been directly cut off.

Qi Yuan's face changed again, and he couldn't help but scold, then took three steps and two steps, and quickly went downstairs.

Unfortunately, he was still unsure where the screams were coming from.

But when he ran to the fourth floor, he saw that many residents had also opened the doors and walked out, obviously hearing the scream, and realizing that something might have happened.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan couldn't take care of it, grabbed the person and immediately asked, "Hello, may I ask where did you hear the sound coming from?" ”

"Uh......" The man was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the police ID card that Qi Yuan took out for the first time, he immediately swallowed his saliva, and then said, "It should be on the third floor, I feel that it is coming from below." ”

"Thank you!" Qi Yuan replied, and then quickly ran down again, identifying himself as he ran, asking for help from the residents who came out, asking them to help stop the stairs, and asking which house the screams came from.

With the help of enthusiastic residents, he quickly locked on to the target residents, and then Qi Yuan immediately knocked on the door.

But no one responded for a long time, and Qi Yuan's heart quickly fell.

After confirming that it was the screams coming from the house, Qi Yuan decided to go directly to the house, but there was a very embarrassing problem - he didn't learn to pick the lock.

"Who's going to pick the lock!" So he could only ask in a loud voice.

But you look at me, I look at you, and then they all shook their heads.

However, a girl hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, there is no anti-theft net in his house, and there is no one in my house, my bedroom used to be a balcony, and the windows were less than a meter apart, why don't you try?" ”

The girl lived next door, and she and the occupants on the other side were sure that it was the screams coming from this house.

"No!" An old woman stomped her foot and said, "The third floor, it's too dangerous!" What if the lad falls? I see, the people in it are more than lucky, so it's better to wait......"

"Can't wait!" Qi Yuan gritted his teeth, the residents inside may have lost consciousness, but they may not have lost their lives, and they may be able to save if they are sent to the hospital in time.

Besides, the murderer may also be blocked inside, and he will have to be blocked.

So he looked at the girl and asked, "Please open the door, and I'll go in through the bedroom!" ”

The girl opened her mouth, then nodded, and immediately took out the key to open the door.

Qi Yuan didn't care about saying anything more, walked to her bedroom with the girl, pushed open the window and looked up, and saw the balcony next door.

Well, it's just so happened that the opposite balcony and her bedroom window were at right angles, and it was really convenient to touch them.

He pushed open the window, leaned out his upper body again, reached for the balcony railing next door, made sure that he could hold onto it, and the guardrail was relatively stable, then let go again, climbed directly to the window, and then immediately reached out and grabbed the guardrail, and his body turned over again, and fell into the balcony opposite. Miao

Then he immediately straightened up, leaned against the wall, and looked inside.

Well, there is a sliding window door between the balcony and the living room, and the crescent lock on the top is locked, and if you want to enter the house, you may only have to break the glass.

The living room inside is not large, and it is still a mess, with obvious traces of fighting.

The killer may still be inside......

At this juncture, Qi Yuan was also a little entangled, not knowing whether he should risk rushing in, he didn't have any police weapons on him at this time, he might not be able to subdue the murderer, and the murderer was likely to still have a murder weapon......

But he only struggled for two seconds, and then immediately took off his coat, wrapped it around his right hand, and slammed it against the window door.

"Hiss......" Even though he was wrapped in clothes, he still felt a pain in his fist, but the strength of the window was quite high, and it made a loud noise, but it didn't break, only a few cracks.

If the murderer is still inside, there is a high probability that he heard this movement, and he doesn't know what he is doing at this time, maybe he is also panicking, or he is hiding in the corner, ready to give Qi Yuan a ruthless ......

Qi Yuan gritted his teeth, punched down three times in succession, and finally hammered the window door open, and then rushed directly into the living room, and unfolded the clothes wrapped in his right hand, still pinching them in his hands.

When necessary, this thing can also be used as a weapon, and if the murderer is armed with a dagger or something, it may not be without a fight......

At the same time, he vaguely smelled a smell of blood, not too strong, and then quickly glanced left and right in the living room, and knew that the victim was not here, it was estimated that it was in the toilet or bedroom, and the kitchen was also possible.

Other than that......

He looked up and saw that the key was inserted in the lock hole of the living room door, and it seemed to be locked.

In this way, if you don't come in through the balcony, you may not be able to find a locksmith, so you can only find a way to break it violently, or start from the cat's eye.

After thinking for a while, he decisively decided to mobilize the strength of the masses, and after glancing again, and making sure that there were no Tibetans in the living room, he quickly rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, and then hurriedly turned around and was on guard, twisting the key with his left hand.

Sure enough, the door was locked by the key.

Soon the door was opened, and Qi Yuan once again identified himself, but he didn't look back, nor did he let them in, only asked them to stay at the door.

Although he decided to mobilize the masses to do so, he naturally couldn't really let the masses come in and take risks with him, and this was just to embolden him.

And he is somewhat selfish - if he can't beat the murderer, he is stabbed and slashed by the murderer, screaming twice, and it is estimated that enthusiastic residents will rush in......

But he was clearly overthinking, and when the occupant at the door saw the door open, he took two steps back.

Qi Yuan pursed his lips, but he was not too surprised.

But he was about to take his clothes and look elsewhere when someone suddenly handed him a steel pipe.

He was stunned for two seconds, and the big brother took the initiative to explain: "Don't get me wrong, this is a natural gas pipe, and there is a piece left when it was repaired before...... Comrade policeman, take your self-defense, you are too dangerous like this. ”

Qi Yuan's lips squirmed, then he took it gently, nodded in thanks, changed his coat to his left hand, and held the steel pipe in his right hand to observe it indoors again.

Kitchen, no one; Bathroom, no one; Master Bedroom ......

When he opened the door to the master bedroom, he found that the door could not be opened to the maximum.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he understood that the gangster was indeed still at the scene, and this guy's IQ was probably not very high, so he hid behind the door......

At the same time, he swept left and right, and found a large area of blood on the ground, as well as two fingers.

This is obviously the scene, but I didn't see the victim, and I don't know what happened to him.

But Qi Yuan didn't think much about it, he only raised his hand against the door, carefully leaned over his shoulder, and then suddenly pressed the door against the wall, wanting to use this door to directly control the gangsters inside.

But......

Under the pressure, he felt that something was wrong with his hand.

The force coming from the other side of the door was not right, and there was not much resistance.

This......

He hurriedly let go of his hand, then gritted his teeth, turned around, faced the door, held the steel pipe, carefully took two steps back, and then jumped backwards, the steel pipe stood sideways in front of him, and looked behind the door.

Behind the door was a rolled-up quilt, the quilt was bloody, but judging by the height and thickness, there was no one in it.

So the murderer......

At this moment, the wardrobe door was suddenly violently pushed open, and a woman rushed out of it, but when she found that Qi Yuan was not at the door, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Qi Yuan was also taken aback by the sudden change, and then the two stared at each other for more than a second before they reacted at the same time.

The woman immediately raised the fruit knife in her hand, held it with both hands, and the tip of the knife was pointed at Qi Yuan, who also immediately raised the steel pipe and shouted: "Police! Don't move! Drop your weapon! ”

"Get out of ......" The woman also spoke at the same time, but as soon as she spit out two words, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Police?" ”

Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, in fact, he was a little confused, and in such a highly tense situation, his brain was also a little sluggish.

Until the woman asked, "Are you really a policeman?" What is the evidence? You don't even wear a police uniform, don't try to lie to me! ”

Qi Yuan seemed to understand something, and immediately explained: "I brought the proof, you put the knife down immediately......

"I don't believe it! You show it to me! The woman's voice was raised and she said in a loud voice.

Qi Yuan frowned, the police officer card was in his right pocket, but his right hand was holding a steel pipe, which was not very convenient to hold. If the steel pipe was lowered, the woman might have rushed at once.

For a while, Qi Yuan was also a little embarrassed.

"Ahem." At this moment, there was a dry cough outside, Qi Yuan glanced at it, and his spirit immediately relaxed, and he was a little surprised: "Team Su!" ”

The person who came was not Su Ping, he was at the door at this time, while walking inside, he took out his documents, and after walking in, he looked sideways at the wardrobe, showed his documents, and said, "Police." Put down your weapons, besides, this is really a comrade of our detachment, not a gangster. ”

Su Ping seemed to have been there for a while, and he generally knew the situation, and even had some guesses about the girl's identity.

Seeing the police card, the girl's body finally relaxed, her raised arms also fell, and then her fingers opened slightly, and the fruit knife fell to the ground with a clatter, and at the same time, her body was a little weak, and she sat on the ground involuntarily.

Seeing this, Su Ping also breathed a sigh of relief, then swept his eyes left and right, frowned and said, "The amount of bleeding is very large, and the victim is probably more than lucky......

Looking at the bloodstains, the victim was probably dragged under the bed, Xiao Qi lay down to take a look, but be careful, the murderer may also be hiding under the bed.

"Okay." Qi Yuan seemed to have regained his backbone, and immediately nodded, but he still didn't put down the steel pipe, so he squatted down slowly.

Su Ping didn't look at Qi Yuan, his eyes were staring at the girl again, obviously not completely at ease with her, but occasionally quickly glanced around with his peripheral vision to take a general look at the situation at the scene.

Later, he found that in the depths of the bedroom, on the edge of the windowsill, there were half blood footprints, and at the same time, there was a palm-shaped blood mark without lines on the window.

"Did you jump out of the window and run away?" He frowned slightly, then quickly stepped forward, squatted down to pick up the fruit knife while staring at the girl, and asked at the same time, "...... you?"

But at this moment!

The wardrobe on his side was pushed open again, and a young man stretched out his hand from it, and a bone cleaver slashed at Su Ping's skull......
