Chapter 31: Homicide

A group of people were eating and chatting in the church with nothing to do, and it was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that everyone received a text message that the alarm was lifted. At this time, Yi Annie also learned about what was happening outside through the internal channels of the news center.

It's a bit scary to say that someone wearing a fake police uniform and driving a disguised police car broke into the house of a passerby and killed someone, and even set fire to the house. After being spotted by the police, he drove towards Xia Cheng and went on a rampage all the way, and was finally surrounded into the construction site area of Changhu Provincial Park.

Now, part of the police force is blocking various traffic intersections in Changhu Provincial Park, and some have to settle the casualties of his killing all the way from Naya City.

"Shhh When Yi Annie told Wang Yuxin about the matter, both of them felt a little cold behind them.

Nouvoire has always been a peaceful and peaceful place, and the sudden appearance of this indiscriminate murderer is particularly terrifying.

"And because the houses are scattered after leaving the city, although the investigation has been carried out along the general route of the murderer, it is very likely that the police have missed some victims." Yi Annie read the message posted in the discussion group of the news center, and shook her head again and again, "Terrible, terrible, terrible!" ”

Noah's mother's funeral continued, but Anne apparently noticed that the minds of everyone present were no longer on the funeral. As various local social media and news accounts broke the details of the previous alarm, a burst of whispers erupted at the funeral scene from time to time.

The pastor seemed to understand this, not to mention that the funeral schedule had been delayed, so his speech was much shorter.

Soon, the church staff pushed Noah's mother's coffin out the back door, and everyone watching the ceremony took a flower at the entrance of the church and went to the cemetery next to the church.

The cemetery is on a slope by the sea, and it is a spring day, and in the cool sea breeze, the cemetery is surrounded by brightly colored tulips.

"Alas, it's finally buried." Wang Yuxin looked at Noah and his father who were standing in the front row, "It's really not easy." ”

Yi Annie nodded, she had experienced everything in this incident, but after all, from the perspective of a bystander, she couldn't empathize with the pain of the person concerned: "It can be regarded as facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming." ”

After the funeral, everyone refused Noah's family's invitation to leave dinner and left.

Yi Annie and the two also stepped forward to say goodbye.

Noah's grandmother asked, "Aren't you going to stay for dinner?" ”

Yi Annie shook her head: "I feel that there is chaos outside, it is better to go back to stay home as soon as possible." ”

In fact, in addition, she and Wang Yuxin have a tacit reason, that is, they don't want to drive at night. What's more, this road back to Xia City is the same as the last time they were hitchhiked by ghosts.

Noah's father nodded knowingly: "Then you'd better go early, this kind of large-scale shooting happens along the way, and it is estimated that there will be a long delay on the road." ”

Sure enough, along the highway from Naya City to Xia City, the lights of police cars could be seen at almost every highway intersection along the way. When we arrived at a place about half an hour's drive outside Xia City, the traffic slowed down. The red and blue lights of the police car in front of it flashed, apparently the police had set up checkpoints.

The traffic slowed down here, and it was Saturday afternoon lunchtime, when people from outside the city went into the city for a party and dinner, and in the morning the group of relatives and friends who went out of the city for a spring outing returned home.

"When are you going to find out this one by one?" Anne was lying on the steering wheel.

"yes, yes, does it make sense to check the car that entered the city? Shouldn't it be to find out the car out of the city to prevent the murderer from escaping? Wang Yuxin also complained.

"Speaking of which, I haven't experienced this kind of traffic jam for a long time, and I feel that there are more traffic jams than in the morning rush hour."

"Yes, yes," Wang Yuxin nodded, "We are now stuck in the middle of the traffic, and we can't escape if anything happens." ”

Yi Annie smiled: "How could something happen to Xia Cheng, you see in "World War Z", Nobu is the only place in the world that has not been invaded by zombies. ”

Indeed, when "World War Z" was released a few years ago, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin both went to the cinema to watch it. When Brad Pitt's lead actor talks to his superiors and informs him that his family has been sent to the last Pure Land Province of mankind, the cinema erupts in cheers.

At that time, Wang Yuxin was still disappreciative and said: "It is estimated that wherever this film is screened, it will be set as the 'final pure land', which is technically easy to achieve." ”

Yi Annie retorted: "In the movie, zombies broke out in New York, can it still be said that New York State is the last pure land when it is released in New York?" ”

This question made Wang Yuxin unable to refute, and finally confirmed that the only safe place in the setting of the movie, except for the aircraft carrier where the military and the big guys were located, was indeed only Norbert.

But in fact, New York and Nobel are very close geographically, and the fishermen of Nobel can reach New York by canoe, so this setting is not unassailable.

Since this movie is a little bit old, many details in the movie have been forgotten, and two girls who love horror movies have decided to put it on their viewing list and watch it again when they have time.

They discuss the movie as they move slowly along with the traffic.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in front of him, and the car horn sounded one after another, and the scene was in turmoil.

"How...... What's going on? Anne stood up from the steering wheel and saw a few people running backwards through the gap between the lanes.

"There's really a zombie in front of you?" Wang Yuxin pulled the car door, "Let's run too?" ”

In the car next to him, some people got out of the car and ran behind those people, and some poked their heads out to watch.

"This ......" Yi Annie turned her head to look at Wang Yuxin, "If there are really zombies, let's follow those people, do you think we can outrun the zombies?" ”

"Uh......" Wang Yuxin shook her head, "let's stay in the car." ”

Things didn't seem to be what Annie had guessed, and it wasn't long before the traffic slowly moved again. There were a few people in the cars who ran away, and they also saw the police and the car owners in front of them trying to push the cars to the side of the road, and there were two cars, and the owners ran away without the keys.

"Oh my God! It's like a dead man! Wang Yuxin pointed to a car that was piled up in a corner.

Anne glanced over at the side, it was a navy blue car, the body was gray, and from her point of view, it seemed that the front windshield of the car was cracked in a spider web, similar to the mobile phone screen that was thrown away due to the sudden ringing of the bell at the funeral before.

As Anne craned her neck to try to see what was going on in the car, there was a knock on her window, and there was a police officer outside.

Yi Annie remembered that the serial murderer before also knocked on other people's doors and killed people disguised as police officers, and couldn't help but be a little scared. But in broad daylight, there was more than one policeman present, which should be true.

Ian pulled down the window: "Hello, sir, what can we do?" ”

The police looked at the two Asian girls in the car dressed in all black and asked, "Where are you guys coming from?" What did you do today? ”

Anne replied, "We went to Naya City today for a funeral. ”

After saying that, Yi Annie thought that something was wrong, that the murderer was also from Naya City.

Sure enough, when they heard "Naya City", the police immediately became serious and gestured to his colleague for Yi Annie to pull over.

After some cross-examination, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin's driver's licenses, work permits, and student IDs were checked. In addition, Anne provided the phone numbers of Noah's father and the police officer she met at the funeral, and gave them proof before being let go by the police.

When they returned their documents to Yi Annie, looking at Yi Annie's press center work card, the police officer's colleague complained softly: "Tsk, are you a reporter?" ”

Anne Yi shook her head repeatedly: "I'm just an editorial assistant. ”

Truth be told, newspaper journalism is an unpleasant profession abroad, especially if the other party is a police officer or a politician.

It was like escaping and driving into the traffic back to the city, and after the checkpoint, the speed of the car suddenly became much faster. Finally returned to the street where the two lived, the car was parked in the parking space at the door, and neither of them got out of the car.

"The world is terrible!" Wang Yuxin collapsed in the passenger seat.

Yi Annie's palms were wet, and she put down the back of the driver's seat, not wanting to move.

"You may not have seen it from that angle," Wang Yuxin straightened up, "and the lower part of the window of that car is all red...... Ahhh I'm going to have nightmares tonight! ”

Anne let out a long sigh and didn't want to speak.

Suddenly, Wang Yuxin's car window was knocked, and the sound frightened the two girls almost jumped up.

The two turned their heads to see that it was the neighbor who lived next door to their right. The inhabitants of that house were two old ladies and a black-backed skewer, and when they first became neighbors, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin guessed that the two old ladies might be a pair of lala. It wasn't until they became familiar later that they knew that they were classmates when they were young, and they just partnered together when they were old, and they thought that Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin were a couple.

Yi Annie's car had turned off, so the window couldn't be pulled down, Wang Yuxin opened the car door and went out: "Wendy, is there something wrong?" ”

Mrs. Wendy looked at their black clothes: "There are so many people dead in and out of the city today, I think you went out early in the morning, and you were quite worried, now I see you come back, it's okay." ”

exchanged a few words with the old lady and complained about the ferocity of the murder.

Yi Annie saw that it was getting dark, and said, "Everyone is very nervous today, so let's all go home early and rest." ”

The old lady nodded, and tremblingly stepped across the lawn in the front yard to her house.

When Yi Annie and the others opened the door, the old lady stood on the porch in front of her house and waved to them before going home.
