Chapter 51: The Nightmare of Decapitation
We just watched as a small crack appeared between Hong Jialu's head and body.
I glared at Qing Liu, who was standing on the side, and motioned with my eyes what he should do now. At this time, he was also a little overwhelmed and did not make the next move. By the light of the candle, I could see the cold sweat on his forehead.
But he quickly came back to his senses, gently wiped the sweat from the palm of his hand, slowly dragged the head of Hong Jialu's corpse with both hands, as if holding an extremely fragile work of art, and then slowly pulled her head away from the outside of the body.
In this way, Hong Jialu's head slowly separated from the body, the crack became bigger and bigger, and finally broke completely, we didn't even see the blood spurting out and the sticky flesh, only a smooth incision crossed the head and the corpse.
Seeing this scene, Qingliu's hands began to tremble violently, and I inadvertently clenched my fists.
Like Ai Xiaomiao back then, Hong Jialu, who was lying in front of us at this time, was also beheaded.
But unlike back then, this time the incision between the corpse's head and body appeared extremely flat. Obviously, this is not caused by a person who slashes his head continuously with a knife when he is angry, but a very calm person, after killing Hong Jialu, quickly cut off the head with an extremely sharp blade.
Then, the murderer glued the head to the corpse and quietly placed it on the chandelier in this living room while we all fell asleep.
This has always been a very complex project. The corpse is not light, not to mention that it can be placed on a chandelier that is not very close to the ground, which shows that the murderer is better than ordinary people in both mental and physical strength.
Wu Xi had stopped crying. But she still didn't dare to come over to see her old friend's body, and now she curled up on the couch, and the blue sitting next to her was gently patting her on the back, comforting her like a child.
Then who will comfort us? I thought to myself. After all, Hong Jialu is not only a friend of Wu Xi, but also a friend of all of us. At this time, her corpse was treated the same as Ai Xiaomiao's corpse back then. The same friends, the same severed heads, the same nightmares manifested again.
It's just that the despair is greater than the grief at this time.
Li Hao soon returned. But it was still dark in the living room at this time, and it seemed that he had not succeeded in turning on the power.
"The power supply has been maliciously destroyed." He walked over to us and said helplessly. He was already soaking wet by this time as he ran outside.
So we lit more candles and placed them in different corners of the living room. With the dim glow of these candles, the living room became less dark, and we even felt a little lucky.
Outside, the rain is still raging, and the rain shows no signs of stopping. The rumbling thunder and snow-white lightning still drew a hideous picture in the sky from time to time.
Qingliu and I gathered the group together and told them about our examination of the body.
Just as we talked about the fact that the head and body of the corpse had been deliberately separated, almost everyone gasped at the same time.
"In this way, Hong Jialu and Xiao Miao's death are the same......" Wei Lan whispered in her mouth.
Li Hao couldn't help but clench his fist and slammed it on the table. Suddenly, his fists were stained with his own blood. He shook his fist nonchalantly, turned to the dark villa behind him and roared loudly:
"Who the fuck are you! If you have the ability, don't hide, give Lao Tzu out, what grievances do you have, and you will duel with us in a dignified manner! I*, what a good man to kill! You perverted demon, you have the ability to kill, you have the ability, you have the ability to fucking show your true colors! ”
His voice echoed in the villa, and from time to time there were echoes in the dark depths of the villa, as if the demon hiding in the corner was responding to us.
I walked over and grabbed Li Hao's shoulders and asked him to sit on the sofa.
"What we need to do now is to calm down, sit together, and wait quietly for Zhang Yiming and the police to help. Don't be rash. Perhaps, this murderer is trying to use the decapitation point to arouse our anger. So, you can't fall for him. I said.
"Shao Feng is right, before the police arrive, we can't cause trouble out of thin air. Now, let's all take a look at whether we woke up after we got drunk last night, and whether we saw anything strange happening. ”
Qingliu agreed with my words, and at this point, our calmness as police officers was all expressed.
"I'll just say it first," Qingliu looked at us, helped his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said, "I fell asleep directly after I got drunk last night, and I never woke up halfway, and I didn't hear any strange noises. I don't even know who put the sheets on us. ”
"It's me and Azure," I continued. "Azure is allergic to alcohol, so she didn't drink last night, and Zhang Yiming and I were the last two people to drink. After he fell, Azure and I went out to get some air, and then we took the sheets from the upper floor and covered them for you, and then we went to sleep. ”
Azure looked at me and nodded, agreeing.
Shao Feng was absolutely right. We slept until we were woken up by Wu Xi's screams, and then went downstairs to check on the situation. ”
"I, too, drank unconscious last night, and didn't wake up until you guys were in a mess here. I didn't wake up and didn't see anything strange. Li Hao touched his head and said, "I drank too much, my head still hurts now." ”
It was Wu Xi's turn. Her mood had improved a lot, her lips didn't tremble anymore, but her face was still pale.
"Last night, I also slept deeply. But I was woken up by the thunder outside, and when I woke up, I still felt very sleepy, so I didn't care so much and continued to sleep......"
As if suddenly remembering something, she continued:
"Oh yes, I remember, just as I was about to go back to sleep, I vaguely heard something coming from the side of the stairs...... But I wasn't sure, because it was raining so hard that I thought I was having auditory hallucinations, so I didn't care about it so much, and fell asleep in a daze. ”
After listening to her description, I suddenly remembered that just as they were falling asleep, Azure and I had just stepped on the stairs for the first time, and the wooden staircase made an extremely loud "squeak" sound.
