Chapter 57: Fragments of Memory
"So, let's go back to the villa and wait for her to do with it, and by the way, put the body at the door with the body in the house, so that even if the police come, we can keep the body for them." I suggested it to both of them.
They looked at each other and nodded at me, agreeing to my suggestion.
We formed up for action as we had before we arrived in the garage, and soon we were back in the living room of the villa.
Qingliu and I took a moment to drag the headless corpse that was still lying outside the door into the living room, and placed it with Hong Jialu's corpse; Then, we took out all the remaining candles and lit them, and placed them in the living room, and for a moment the whole room had a warm fire.
After all this, we sat back down on the couch at the table and rested quietly.
Qing Liu casually picked up a bottle of beer from the ground that she hadn't finished drinking, tilted her head and began to pour it into her neck. I looked at him, laughed silently, and did the same as him, found two unopened bottles of wine on the ground, opened one with a driver, and began to drink.
Azure sat on the sidelines, looking at us wordlessly.
Friends who used to be good friends are now only a few of us. Three were dead, their heads in different places; The three sat nervously drinking in a dimly lit hall lit only by candles; One was still wandering outside, out of nowhere; There is also a murderer who is a cruel murderer.
"I knew I wouldn't come to this ghost party, I thought I was here to have a good drink with you guys, but I didn't expect it to become a murderous party." I picked up the bottle and gently clinked glasses with Qingliu.
"Yes...... his face was a little red, he turned his head to look at the two corpses lying next to him, he stretched out his hand and shook the wine bottle at them: "Come on, Hong Jialu, come, you haven't come to drink with us today, the traffic jam that was promised will be there soon, why are you lying here now!" Hahaha......"
His laughter was horrible. Cold laughter echoed through the empty hall.
He turned to another corpse that he didn't know if it was Zhang Yiming or Li Hao, made a toast movement, drank the rest of the wine in the bottle in one gulp, and then said, "Look at you...... I don't even have a head, it's exactly the same as Xiao Miao's death back then......"
"Qing Liu......" Wei Lan called out his name with some concern.
I touched Azure and motioned for her not to worry, "He's just stressed out tonight." Now that Wu Xi can't find it, let him drink and vent. ”
Azure didn't speak again. She pursed her lips slightly, but she could still see the pain and despair in her eyes.
I didn't say anything more, just picked up the bottle in my hand and drank it silently, but my mind began to think wildly again. I felt a pain in my temples.
Tonight's story, from the very beginning, is ridiculous. From the very beginning, we were caught in a very unreal context.
The dead Hong Jialu, I don't know if it is Zhang Yiming or Li Hao's body in a different place, in the dark garage, Wu Xi who disappeared inexplicably.
Thunder and lightning, violent storms, living rooms without power, mobile phones without signals, vehicle tires vandalized.
A villa in the wilderness, old friends who haven't seen each other for ten years, drunkenness, and an inexplicable party.
I had just received the task of completing the handover of the police station, and Li Hao and Weilan suddenly appeared, parked on the side of the road, and Daben was getting farther and farther away from the city center.
The murder case ten years ago has not been solved so far, who is the real culprit.
Two murderers, three murderers, or, more.
The pictures began to flash through my mind, and I felt as if I had come to a tunnel shrouded in light, and the blinding white light in front of me was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes.
In an instant, it was as if I had gone from the dim living room to the snowy winter, and that made my vision full of white and red memories.
I found myself standing outside the classroom where the murder had taken place, and above me was the window that hadn't been closed.
Instead of hesitating, I climbed up again, and landed steadily in that classroom.
"Hey, why are you here?" I looked up and saw several people standing in front of me.
Li Hao, Zhang Yiming, Qing Liu. The three of them were facing out the window at this time, as if they were chatting about something.
The three of them were stunned as if they were surprised when they heard someone jumping down, and they turned to look at me, with big mouths and no reaction.
"Peak...... Brother Feng? How did you get here? Zhang Yiming's voice stuttered a little, he seemed to be a little nervous, but he didn't know what he was nervous about.
"I'm here to get something. Yesterday I was in class here, and I forgot to take an important document, so I didn't rush to get it in the afternoon. What about you? I'll just say why there's no one in the dormitory, haha, three people standing here rehearsing the play? I laughed and snorted.
Qing Liu's expression was very serious, and he stared at me for a long time, as if he was looking at a monster.
No one answered my question, and the atmosphere seemed very awkward for a while.
Li Hao, who was standing in the middle, touched Zhang Yiming and Qingliu's shoulders as if asking for advice, asking them to come closer.
Then the three of them whispered quietly in front of me for a while.
"Do you want to tell him ......?"
"No way, he's definitely not going to join our ......"
"Then let's find a staircase to go down......"
I stood in front of them, like a clown who couldn't speak, and I was overwhelmed.
Then they burst out laughing, as if they were going back to their own brothers. Li Hao walked up and slapped me on the shoulder, and said to me with a smile: "Hahaha, Shao Feng, did you scare you, don't worry, we are rehearsing a dialogue show, and we will perform it on Friday next week......"
Qing Liu stood aside and didn't speak, but his expression eased a lot. He nudged his glasses on the bridge of his nose, still looking at me with a contemptuous gaze.
Although we often joke with each other that several people see one person coming, and suddenly pretend to be very serious, deliberately making the other person feel scared. This time it was obvious that this was the case, and I didn't pay too much attention to it, but Qingliu's expression really made me feel a little strange.
So why are you looking at me...... Kook. I glanced at him and didn't say anything. Although I know Qingliu's problem, this time it's too fierce.
Zhang Yiming saw my eyes on Qingliu, and also walked up to me and said a few words to me haha.
