Chapter 248: The Man Who Died in the Basement
At sunset, the lights are on, and the coastal steel city of S City gradually calms down as night falls after a day of hustle and bustle.
The arrival of night heralded the fading of the light, and some peepers who hid in dark corners and did not dare to see people, as the night began to revive, they were ready to start coming out to forage for food.
In the basement of a residential building in the north of the city, the room is pitch black, except for the display screen of a computer in the innermost part of the room, which still exudes a faint blue light, there is a swivel chair with many holes in front of the computer desk, the swivel chair is full of large and small holes, some yarn cotton is illuminated by the faint light emitted by the computer monitor, looming, a man with a face full of pimples squatting on the chair, like chicken feet with his hands quickly typing words on the keyboard, I don't know who he is chatting with, The blue light on the display screen illuminated the man's face in a particularly frightening light.
There is a dialog box on the computer monitor where two people are chatting.
"How's it going?"
"Don't worry, he won't wake up."
"Didn't you want to kill him?"
"Boss, I haven't killed anyone, killing someone is a crime, and I will be sentenced to death, I don't want to die."
"Waste."
The man squatting in the chair saw the dazzling word waste in the concise conversation, the man's small eyes showed an angry and hateful look, and there was a kind of heartfelt fear hidden in the depths of his eyes, he stopped typing, turned out a cheap cigarette case from the table full of oil and garbage, took out a cigarette from it and lit it, the man took a deep puff of cigarette, closed his eyes, and for a long time, he spit out a faint puff of smoke, perhaps, as long as he was pricked by nicotine, he could return to a moment of peace in his soul.
"Did I bring it if I told you to bring it?"
A line of text appears in the dialog box again.
"I said it before I did it, and he reacted so strongly that he almost woke up, and scared me to death."
"Just bring it, you leave here tomorrow, go to the field, find a place to go chic, the money, I have already transferred to your account."
"Thank you, Brother Hong."
"Keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't say it, talking nonsense will kill people, do you understand?"
"Understood."
When the man typed this line of text, the other party had gone offline, the avatar turned into a gray-white color, the man moved the computer mouse to close the dialog box, and sat on the chair dejectedly, he just put the cigarette in his mouth, only to find that his hand holding the cigarette did not know when, it was already beginning to tremble, and the T-shirt he was wearing was originally white, and now it has become dark yellow T-shirt has already been soaked with sweat, and a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on his forehead, which can be seen, How much influence did the person who was chatting with the man just now have on the man, Rao is that the other party did not appear in front of him, he was so scared and frightened.
The man sat down in the chair, trembling, trembling, after smoking a cigarette, he snuffed out the cigarette fart-strand in the ashtray that had been piled up, the man exhaled a long breath, perhaps the nicotine sting-agitation, made him briefly forget the fear that the other party brought him, he sat on the chair, his face changed sharply, suddenly, as if he remembered something, picked up the mobile phone placed on the table, and swiped the screen with his fingers, as if looking at something.
"Jingle bells."
A text message came, the man clicked on the text message, and saw a series of bank card balance numbers that appeared in it, one, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, after the man looked at the digital balance of two hundred thousand, he smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellowed and blackened teeth, he put down his phone, rubbed his hair that was already messy, and laughed.
"Haha, labor and management are finally rich, and they are also rich."
The man's ugly laughter echoed in the small basement, and it looked particularly terrifying and eerie in the silent night.
After the man laughed for a while, he stopped laughing, frowned, and muttered, "Where should I go?" T City? No, T city is too close to here, then go to R city, which is in the northwest of China, the land is vast and sparsely populated, no one will notice me, okay, so decided, I'll look at the train ticket from S city to R city tomorrow"
"Knock Knock"
Just as the man picked up the mouse again and clicked on the computer, talking to himself nervously while checking the ticket, there was a sudden knock on the basement door.
The man suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked back at the door, frowning, thinking, who would knock on the door in the middle of the night? Could it be that the landlord has returned? It's impossible, I didn't turn on the lights again, the landlord shouldn't know that I'm back, forget it, don't care about him, let him knock, wait for him to knock for a while, and he will leave by himself knowing that there is no one inside, thinking of this, the man turned his head again and continued to move the mouse to check the ticket.
The man looked on the Internet for a while, and found that the earliest train from S city to R city tomorrow was a ticket at nine o'clock in the morning, since he had made up his mind to go to R city to live, he did not hesitate at all, and chose to buy a ticket.
When he saw that the system prompted him to buy a ticket successfully, a smile finally appeared on the man's sickly face.
"Knock Knock"
The knocking outside continued, happy to be tired, the man was really upset by the knocking on the door, before, when he had no money, he saw that the landlord was hiding and walking, now that he has money, he has to leave tomorrow anyway, so he will pay the rent of the three months owed, but, thinking of this, the man is a little distressed, the rent of this basement is not expensive, there are three hundred yuan a month, and nine hundred in three months, plus the utility bill is estimated to be at least one or two thousand yuan, which is not a job, For people who have no financial resources, one or two thousand yuan is not a small amount, but when he thought of the transfer of 200,000 yuan he received in his mobile phone just now, the man felt that his waist was a lot stiffer.
"Here, don't knock."
The man yelled towards the door, then got up from his chair, found the slippers stained with oil and stains on the dirty floor, and after putting them on, he went to the place where the room was switched, turned on the switch casually, and walked towards the door.
"Knock Knock"
The knocking continued, and the man felt very annoyed.
"Don't knock TMD, it's all here, I'll give you the rent you owe you right away, don't knock"
The man opened the door as he spoke.
The door opened, and the man found that it was not the landlord standing at the door, but a young man he didn't know, the young man didn't look very old, only about thirty years old at most, the man was wearing a black sweatshirt with a hat, looking at him expressionlessly, the young man's left hand was hanging in the air, it seemed that he was going to continue knocking on the door, and his right hand was in his trouser pocket.
The man put one hand on the door frame and the other on the doorknob, looked at the strange young man in front of him, frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you knocking on my door? ”
The young man put down his left hand hanging in mid-air, looked into the man's eyes, and asked in an indifferent tone, "You are Zhu Pan?" ”
The man's brows furrowed even tighter, he looked up and down at the young man standing at the door, then nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Zhu Pan?" Who are you tmidding? ”
"Did you go to the First People's Hospital during the day today?" The young man said, but not asked.
Zhu Pan's face changed suddenly, his eyes narrowed subconsciously, his already small eyes became a small gap in a squint, Zhu Pan looked at the young man vigilantly, shook his head, and denied: "What First People's Hospital?" I'm not sick, what am I going to do? ”
When the young man heard Zhu Pan deny that he had been to the First People's Hospital, he did not feel the slightest surprise, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on the screen with one hand, looked at the mobile phone, raised his head to look at Zhu Pan, and then pointed the mobile phone at Zhu Pan and said, "This is you, right?" ”
Zhu Pan subconsciously looked at the mobile phone, on the mobile phone, a man wearing a nurse's uniform and a wig hurriedly walked out of the back door of the hospital, yes, he knew the man on the mobile phone, it was himself, he raised his head to look at the young man, and said sharply: "I'm sorry, you found the wrong person." ”
With that, he was ready to close the door and go back.
However, just when he was about to close the door, he suddenly found that the door could not be closed, the young man had put the mobile phone in his hand into his pocket, and his left hand was grasped by the door, and then, Zhu Pan found that the door that was not very strong was pushed open little by little, and the young man walked in step by step from the outside, Zhu Pan used his strength to close the door, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close the door, and the door was still pushed open little by little.
Zhu Pan gave up, he didn't make senseless resistance, turned around and ran towards the room, to be precise, towards the kitchen, because there were knives in the kitchen.
The door was easily opened without Zhu Pan's resistance, and after the young man entered the room, he casually closed the door and locked it, and he stood in the doorway, looking at the small basement.
The basement is very small, the room is full of garbage, there are several take-out boxes piled up in the corner of the door, the room exudes a bad smell, the floor of the room is very dirty, in addition to a rusty single bed in the room, there is a rickety table, on the table is a computer that looks very shabby, I don't know how many hands it is, the shell of the computer host is not there, the wires inside are exposed outside, there is only one light bulb in the room, exuding an orange light.
There is a door next to the single bed, the door is blocked by a broken curtain stained with oil, at this moment, Zhu Pan is standing there, he is holding a frying pan in his left hand, the pan can clearly see the traces of dried and moldy vegetable leaves, holding a rusty kitchen knife in his right hand, Zhu Pan's face is pale, a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on his forehead, and a few pimples on his face are particularly dazzling under the light of the orange light.
"Who let you in? Go out, let me out immediately, or I'll call someone. Zhu Pan held the pot in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, looked at the young man vigilantly, and shouted in a trembling voice.
Maybe Zhu Pan didn't notice it himself, when he shouted this sentence, his voice was trembling, and his hand holding the kitchen knife and pan was also shaking uncontrollably.
The young man looked at Zhu Pan with interest, completely ignoring the weapon in his hand, the corner of the young man's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and said slowly: "How much money did Wang Hong give you to go to the hospital to kill people?" ”
"Wang Hong?"
Zhu Pan was stunned when he heard this name, and then he reacted, Wang Hong may be Brother Hong's real name, Zhu Pan looked at the young man, and continued to pretend to be confused and said: "You don't want to spew blood, what kind of killing?" How can someone who doesn't even look at killing a chicken kill someone else? ”
The young man looked at Zhu Pan, his brows gradually furrowed, he had lost his patience, his right hand that had been in his pocket was slowly taken out of his pocket, and then, Zhu Pan's eyes widened, his mouth grew up, and he looked at the swarthy pistol in the young man's right hand in a daze.
Gun, this guy has a gun in his hand, Zhu Pan's heart suddenly cooled a lot, he was bitter in his mouth, and scolded his mother in his heart.
"Bang Dang"
The pan and kitchen knife in Zhu Pan's hand fell to the ground with a clatter the moment the man took out his pistol, and there was a crisp sound, Zhu Pan fell to the ground on his knees, tears poured out at once, and he said with a trembling voice: "Big brother, uncle, father, don't scare me, I said, I said"
"Bang"
A crisp gunshot rang out in this small basement, and before Zhu Pan could finish his words, he fell in a pool of blood.
At this time, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks suddenly sounded outside.
A big hole appeared on Zhu Pan's forehead, blood splattered out along with the brain, he lay down softly in a pool of blood, scarlet blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, his chest rose and fell violently, his body twitched unnaturally, his eyes were blurred, looking at the feet that were gradually approaching him, he struggled to raise his head, trying to remember the face of this young man, but his vision had already blurred, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only saw the shiny black leather shoes, Zhu Pan stretched out his blood-stained hand, wanting to grab something, In the end, he didn't grasp anything, and his hand hung limply and fell to the cold, dirty ground.
After the young man finished firing, he put the gun away, picked up the bullet case from the ground, put it in his pocket, and then, he walked to the computer that was still on, opened the dialog box that was turned off by Zhu Pan, carefully checked the chat history between them, and then, he stretched out his gloved hands and typed out a line of words on the keyboard.
"Wang Hong, long time no see, have you hidden it? I'm going to find you. ”
After the man finished typing this text, he stood up, unplugged the computer very rudely, and then took the computer's hard drive from the dilapidated mainframe.
When the young man had done all this, he looked around and saw that nothing was missing, so he turned and walked out of the basement.
After the young man walked out of the basement, he closed the door, pulled up the hat of his sweatshirt and put it on, and then put his hands in his pockets, and walked out with his head down, and when he was about to walk out of the staircase, he saw a fat woman, and the two of them passed by, and the young man walked away quickly.
The fat woman looked at the young man's back, frowned, and felt a little strange, she didn't remember that she still lived here with such a person, but because it was twelve o'clock in the morning, the woman didn't think much about it, and turned to go upstairs.
After the fat woman went up to the third floor, she gasped for breath, she was a little annoyed, she should have lived on the first floor by herself, it was really too hard to go upstairs, the woman took a breath for a while, found the key from her handbag, opened the door, and then closed the door.
After the fat woman walked into her room, a young man walked out at the corner of the stairs, his eyes moved slightly, hesitated for a while, then turned around and went downstairs, leaving quietly, if the fat woman did not go upstairs, but went to the basement, then this unlucky woman is likely to end up with Zhu Pan.
After the obese woman returned home, she put her handbag on the cabinet casually, after changing her shoes, she took out her mobile phone from the bag, she walked to the sofa and sat down, remembering the man who had just met downstairs wearing a hat in the middle of the night, the woman thought about it, and remembered the short man Zhu Pan who rented her basement, he had not paid the rent for three months, her phone called to ask, to see when he would pay the rent, if he didn't pay the rent tomorrow, she would kick him out, thinking of this, The fat woman turned on her mobile phone and dialed Zhu Pan's mobile phone.
The phone rang, rang for dozens of seconds, until the other party hung up and did not answer, the fat woman put down the phone and cursed: "Good boy, dare not answer the call of the old lady, you wait, tomorrow the old lady will kick you out." ”
After saying this, the fat woman threw her phone on the sofa, stood up, twisted her fat ass-thigh, and walked into the bathroom with her waist like a bucket, ready to take a shower.
Outside the house, where the street lamps couldn't shine, a young man in a black sweatshirt with a hat on his head looked up at the third floor, where the lights were still on, and he stood there and looked at it for a while, then turned to leave.
The young man did not walk out of the main entrance, but climbed out of a layer of walls, there was a monitoring probe at the main entrance, he didn't want his appearance to be photographed, if he was photographed, he had been exposed before he found Wang Hong, this is not something he wanted to see.
In the basement where Zhu Pan was, Zhu Pan was lying quietly in a pool of blood, the corpse had gradually become cold, on the computer desk, the mobile phone in a pile of garbage was vibrating non-stop at the moment, and a phone marked as Brother Hong called, and the phone kept vibrating until it hung up naturally.
