Chapter 158: Dead Again
"Help Me ......"
"Help Me ......"
"Help Me ......"
These three words have been lingering in my ears, fluttering and refusing to disperse, and even louder and louder, until in the end, this deafening poignancy seems to sound close to my ears.
I woke up startled, sat up, looked around, it was still a dark night, I raised my hand and touched my forehead, all of which were bean-sized droplets.
I wanted to go to the bathroom to relieve my nervousness, but just as I was about to turn over and get out of bed, my left hand touched a foreign object that did not belong to the bed.
When I looked at it by the moonlight, it was the red umbrella left on the twenty-first floor......
The dream she had just heard should be her answer......
The next morning, after a hurried breakfast, Xiaorong and I rushed to the twenty-first floor.
A stick of incense had already burned, and the air was filled with the smell of sandalwood, but the three white candles, after an afternoon and a whole night of burning, still looked like they had just been lit.
The entire twenty-first floor was the same as when we left, nothing different, and I hurried to the notebook I left earlier, and sure enough, there was some handwriting left on it.
"Nanhe Road, Zhongxing Newspaper, penultimate newspaper."
"Is this what she left behind?" Xiao Rong poked his head and asked.
"Well, she asked me to go over and find this newspaper, it should be for us to ask for help, she should have accepted it, you see, she has received all the paper money."
Things have developed so far, and it is also very smooth, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest, as long as this matter is resolved, her resentment will naturally disperse.
Xiaorong and I took a taxi to the Nanhe Road written in the book, originally thought it should not be too far, but the car drove for more than two hours and still didn't arrive, which is almost to the suburbs!
Finally, at a fork in the highway auxiliary road, we saw the newsstand and quickly got out of the car and walked over.
The newsstand looked very old, and there were stacks of newspapers piled up around it, and there were so many stacks of newspapers that almost blocked the windows of the newsstand.
These newspapers all look old, and if you open a random one, they are all years old, could it be that she asked me to come here to find the newspaper that recorded her related events back then?
"Anyone?" Xiao Rong was the first to open his mouth and shout.
After waiting for a while, without the slightest response, Xiaolong shouted loudly into the pile of newspapers again:
"Anyone?"
The sound intensified a little, and then I faintly heard the sound of rustling from behind the pile of newspapers.
Then from the pile of newspapers came the voice of an old man with vicissitudes:
"I've been open for twenty or thirty years, and only two or three people have been here, but today I actually came."
I always felt that this old man's voice sounded a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard her voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the large stack of newspapers in front of him began to tremble, and in a short time, a hole was dug out of the middle of the wall made of newspapers, and an old man's head was seen in the middle of the hole.
The old man's gray medium-length hair, messy growth, dark skin, and many deep furrows on his face testify to the old man's age.
The old man spat out a sentence again with his dry lips:
"There's something to talk about, I'm going to sleep if it's okay!"
The old man's voice was exactly the same as the old man's voice that appeared on my phone at the time, but it looked different, and I don't know if it was some kind of coincidence.
"Old man, we're here to buy old newspapers." Hearing that the old man was going to give an eviction order, I hurriedly said.
"Young people nowadays are really interesting, they can't read the news on their mobile phones, so they want to come to my old guy to buy old newspapers......"
The old man muttered, but his hands were busy.
"Tell me, what year do you want to buy?"
"Buy the penultimate newspaper." I thought of the flowers written in the notebook, and quickly said.
"You can't understand what you young man says, I have so many newspapers here, so many stacks, you can tell which stack is the penultimate one." The old man complained.
"Let's just say that it is the penultimate copy, we want to find the case of the girl who was kidnapped and murdered in this city before, but the details are not very clear, and we want to find the relevant newspaper."
I looked at the stacks of newspapers, and I really didn't know how to describe the penultimate part mentioned above, and I really didn't know where to count the penultimate part, so I could only find a way to describe it.
"Girls? Murder? The old man listened to my words and fell into deep thought.
"I remember a case more than ten years ago, and it was a real sensation in the city! But in the end it was gone......" the old man shook his head and sighed, as if he had thought of something.
Nothing? It sounds like a good fit for the case I'm looking for!
"What kind of case does it look like?" I hurriedly asked.
"That girl is not very old, and she is still in school, so it's a good time. I heard that when she was out of school, she was abducted as soon as she got off the bus.
The man is not a good person, although he is not very old, but he dropped out of school early, and he was also stained with gambling, before tying up the girl, this man broke his mother because her mother didn't give him money to gamble, in that year. This man is notorious!
This girl was also unlucky, he was taken captive at home, and then I heard that this man called several of his so-called brothers who were mixed together to ho this girl, during which the man's mother went upstairs to clean up, and saw this girl, but she didn't dare to care.
Later, these people became more and more excessive, and began to beat her violently, and then they began to give the girl hope, telling her that they could let her go home as long as she wanted, but in fact they didn't intend to let her go at all, but just began to enjoy the feeling of domination.
In this way, he was imprisoned for more than forty days, and on the day the girl went, I heard that the man did not know how, and suddenly got angry outside, and began to take the girl to vent his anger, and hammered the girl with an iron ball tied to the iron chain, and broke off the girl's nails, etc......
In the end, the girl was beaten to death, and the body was packed in a gasoline can, poured with cement and thrown away, and when it was later found, it was all rotten inside......
This can still let us know, when these people were arrested and interrogated, it is estimated that they were also picked and said, and it is estimated that some of them are more excessive, and in the end, because those people are minors, they were released after three years of detention......"
Listening to the old man's narration of this incident, I can't help but itch my teeth with anger, three years?! Just locked up for three years? It's reasonable to just kill you!
It's also strange to say, the girl has been lost for a month, can her parents not look for it? Even if you don't find it, you will find that the girl you find out in the end is imprisoned by that cruel means. He was beaten to death again, and he was locked up for three years, can they accept it? If it were me, I'd have to kill those boys!
My angry brain hurts, but I'm also glad that Liu Maozi didn't come along, if Liu Maozi heard that such a girl was killed in this way, it is estimated that he would jump directly to kill them......
As soon as the story was finished, the old man took out the newspaper, and I reached out to take the newspaper, and on the largest page of the newspaper, I verified the photo of a girl, who had short hair, bangs, big eyes and two small dimples, and a very cute smile.
The tortured little girl in my dream is exactly the same......
The newspaper report is not much different from what the old man said just now, but it has added more details and is more official. It clearly records the room where the little girl was killed, and the people who harmed her...... And so on.
Just as we had paid and were about to leave, the old man spoke again.
"Sir, do you want to buy a man's nails?"
This familiar sentence and familiar tone, as well as this familiar voice, made me directly in place, isn't it really a coincidence that day? Isn't it really a spam ad that you came across by chance?
I stared back at the old man's face and didn't speak.
"I can help you find those people's nails, and you can take revenge on the girl you help."
The old man watched my gaze fall on her, and added.
I shook my head and refused:
"Life has to be solved, but you can't use this way of doing things behind the scenes, they were minors back then, and more than ten years have passed, they should be adults now! I should be able to bear legal responsibility! Let them be ruined, let the masses know that the events of the past, including similar things, will not happen again, let everyone know that the law is just, no one who is killed can die without knowing it, and no one who harms people can go unpunished. ”
After saying that, Xiao Rong and I got in the car and left.
Back at the hotel, I found Wei Guo and asked him if he had anyone in the local area, and the people he knew worked in various agencies, and I told him about this general thing, and Wei Guo was also angry when he heard it, and immediately said that the director of the city's public security bureau was his old classmate, and he could go to his old classmates to help, to thoroughly investigate the cases of the year, and to severely punish those bad people.
I thought that this matter would be over now, but I didn't expect news from Wei Guo that this case took a bit long, and some of the information and part of the evidence were lost or damaged due to improper preservation, and it may be difficult to reopen the case.
At this point, they all advised me to settle the matter in another way, but I still hope that it can be resolved in a more just way.
"I think her resentment is not only the misery of her own death, but also in the fact that she did not give herself a justice back then, after all, she was tortured and lost her life, but the perpetrator was only punished a little bit because she was a minor, I believe this is very unbearable for her, so I hope to be able to dissipate her resentment in such a way."
But after trying several times halfway, I still haven't got a good solution, and those people back then can no longer be found.
One said that he owed money because he was gambling, and then he was chased and hacked to death by creditors, and another person went to prison every time he was suspected of forcibly violating women again, and several people who had been missing for several days and did not find any news.
After working for several days, I didn't even find anyone, and this news is uncomfortable enough.
I wanted to wait a few more days, but I didn't want to, but I received the news of a dead person on the 21st floor.
