Chapter 13: Murder in the Crescent Moon
Lin Chen still lives in the forest apartment, after all, the rent here is much cheaper than in the city, and besides, his work is turbulent, Lin Chen decided to live first, and when there is a suitable house, he will buy a house!
Even if you take out a loan, you have to have your own home, renting is not a long-term thing!
In this account, Lin Chen took the calculator and calculated it back and forth many times.
Instead of paying the rent to the landlord every month, it is better to use it to pay off the mortgage on your own house. It is okay to buy a new house or a second-hand house, as long as Lin Chen feels suitable, he will buy it first.
With the continuous rise in housing prices, Lin Chen's desire to buy a house has become more and more intense.
In addition to paying attention to real estate agencies and TV commercials, Lin Chen also reads newspapers, where there are real estate fairs, where new listings are opened, where there are promotions, where the tail building is sold at a low price, and even, how to choose a house type, if you look at residential feng shui, etc., as long as it is related to the house, he will look at it one by one.
Every day, Lin Chen would cut out the housing information materials he had read from the newspaper and carefully glue them to a notebook for future reference and comparison.
On this day, it was a public holiday, and Lin Chen did not go to work.
After breakfast, Lin Chen opened the Oriental News he bought last night, and as usual, roughly read the headline, looking for what he was interested in.
Suddenly, a piece of news flashed into Lin Chen's line of sight.
A new crescent community had a fatal case, and a newlywed couple died mysteriously, and the cause of death was unknown.
Crescent Crescent Community!
Newlyweds!
These two words were like two small hands, grabbing Lin Chen's gaze and making Lin Chen gasp.
He continued to look down, and the report reads:
The reporter learned from the police that at about 9 o'clock yesterday morning, two bodies, a man and a woman, were found in the bedroom of a residential building in the newly built crescent community in the south of the city.
According to insiders, yesterday morning, the police received a report from a resident of the Crescent Community, reflecting that the newly built Crescent Community, Building 4 of the Crescent Garden had a peculiar smell for several days, looking for the smell, the police opened a bedroom and found a man and a woman lying on the ground, both of them were in their twenties, their eyes were wide open... The woman was wearing red pajamas, with six fingers on her right hand, and the man was wearing a white shirt with a flat head. Strangely, there were no external injuries between the two, and there were no traces of a fight at the scene...
Seeing this, Lin Chen's back was already cold for a while, and he could feel his two calves trembling slightly. He stepped back and read the report in detail, word for word, from beginning to end.
The text ends with the words: The police are looking for clues!
Is it them?
Lin Chen remembered that in that strange subway, two young people who were elated, looking forward to a new house and a better future, their words and smiles still flashed in front of his eyes. The woman was also six-fingered, the man had a flat head, he wore glasses, and both of them were in their twenties, and they were also newly bought existing houses in the Crescent Crescent Community.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Lin Chen, who is well versed in the world, firmly believes that this must not be a simple coincidence, there are very few people with six fingers, but the woman with six fingers meets a man with flat head and glasses! How can it be so inch! I happened to buy a house in the crescent moon community, and the age is just right!
It should be the two of them!
The more he pondered, the more convinced he became!
So, how did they die?
Mysterious death?
Another bizarre death!
Could it have something to do with that horrible woman in black in the subway?
Didn't the newspaper say that there was no sign of a fight at the scene, how could two young lives just die? They certainly shouldn't be suicidal! They are so young, so in love, the beautiful picture of life has just opened in front of their eyes, how can they not commit suicide, no!
Lin Chen put down the newspaper and walked to the window, outside the window was an empty field, and in the distance on the right was the construction site that was still under construction, which was closed by a high hoarding.
Looking down from the eighth floor where Lin Chen is located, the scene on the construction site can be seen at a glance.
Although it is not yet noon, the sun is already hot, and you can hear the "clatter" of the construction machinery through the window! Bang! Voice. When the machine starts, it kicks up a sky full of dust, adding some gray vitality to this residential area where there is no village in front and no shops behind.
He also saw the rotten bricks and tiles piled up randomly on the edge of the construction site, and the earthy yellow material was wrapped in plastic sheeting.
Earthy plastic sheeting!
Lin Chen's mind went blank, he turned around and picked up the newspaper on the sofa again, his brain was running fast again.
Should he be killed? If he killed, how could they resist! How could there be no sign of a fight!
It's incredible!
Maybe wait, aren't the police investigating? But if it really has something to do with that strange woman, can the police find out?
Through the window glass, Lin Chen glanced blankly at the earthy yellow material packaging plastic sheeting.
Actually, from the very beginning, he thought of another person.
Straw yellow!
Straw Yellow, who is obsessed with mobile games, is dead! Crushed by the wheels of the train, the flesh and blood are blurred! The cause of death is unknown!
From the conversation with the police, Lin Chen was convinced of the conclusion that the deceased in the train accident was straw yellow.
It had to be him!
It won't be anyone else!
He'd been on that weird last train!
Now, the two of them, the six-fingered woman and the flat-headed man, are also dead! died in the newly bought house in the crescent moon community, and the cause of death is also unknown! I also took the weird last train of the subway!
And if it all really had something to do with that woman in black? And if the old lady has something to do with it, then what he experienced and saw that day would not be an illusion! It won't be hysterical!
In other words, he really encountered stolen things!
At this time, Lin Chen was pinching the newspaper in his fingers, leaning against the wall by the window with an earthy face, his heart was beating strongly, and his heels were a little unsteady.
He didn't want to think about it anymore, but he had to keep thinking about it.
The last subway that made Lin Chen feel extremely frightened, Straw Huang sitted, the newlywed couple, the six-fingered girl and the little flat-headed also sit, and they all died!
Died a bizarre and mysterious death!
They're dead!
Is their death the beginning or the end?
So, will there be another one?
Who will be next?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's scalp was tense and numb, and he shivered.
Who will be next?
If all this really has something to do with that terrible woman in black, it seems that the passengers in the weird subway are only the old lady with the jade ring and himself! Lin Chen felt more and more flustered and panicked.
No, it's not!
Maybe it's just a coincidence! What a coincidence!
Didn't some experts say that there are no ghosts in the world! It's just a human fear of the unknown! As the saying goes, its ghost is really yes, and it is a sense of things; Its ghost is a creation of the heart!
Will you have the terrible schizophrenia?
Or do you suffer from hysteria due to too much pressure at work?
Lin Chen found instant coffee from the kitchen cupboard, he brewed the coffee for himself, brought it to the small coffee table in the living room, leaned on the sofa, tasted it slowly, and turned on the stereo casually, and played a Schubert's serenade to relieve his nervousness.
The aroma of coffee swirled in the air, and Lin Chen felt much more relaxed.
clicked on the mobile phone screen, only to find that in WeChat, Xu Aqi sent herself a photo of her wearing the red gauze dress he bought for her.
In the photo, Xu Aqi is smiling like a flower, with a red long skirt with a light silk yarn texture, as thin as cicada wings, and the flowing skirt tail sets off her slender and white legs, seductive wipes, revealing sexy collarbones, and the thin black suspender belt is gently buckled on the shoulders, which is seductive and seductive. There are not too many fancy ornaments, but there is a fresh and natural, natural atmosphere.
Lin Chen took a sip of coffee and continued to enjoy this cute little photo.
This dress, this red really suits her! In Lin Chen's heart, Xu Aqi seems to be this red, with festivity, enthusiasm, and happiness, never tired of blooming, blooming......
Lin Chen's gaze stayed on the red dress again...
However, such an expensive red dress is still not so perfect in design! If he were to design, he would have reduced some pearl embellishments, more embellishments, a little tacky, and removed the bow around the waist, which was there, a little childish...
Lin Chen studied architecture and design, but he has a natural inspiration for clothing design.
For example, the worn jeans were casually added by him with colorful hemp edges, and two or three holes were grinded, and it became a fashionable boutique; Just a few pieces of fabric, through his hands, can be sewn into a beautiful mix and match shawl, which makes the girls in the company applaud.
Of course, Lin Chen's best skill is the tailoring of cheongsam. Cheongsam tailoring is different from ordinary clothing sewing, it requires a certain amount of skills!
Lin Chen is self-taught!
"Lin Chen, you really did something wrong! You should be a tailor! Go to costume design! You are really a talent to be a small clerk in your current company! ”
Xu Aqi once told him.
"Good! If I lose my job, I can support you by making clothes for others! ”
"Who feeds you with you! It's not like I don't have long hands! ”
Thinking about their conversation, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
Lin Chen closed his phone, got up and went to the bathroom. As he washed his hands, he glanced into the mirror above the pool and saw that it seemed to be a haha mirror, and the mirror was stretched up and down.
Lin Chen was startled, and hurriedly ran into the house, and in the corner of his eye, he saw that in the mirror it was a woman's shadow, but the woman's shadow disappeared after a few seconds, and everything returned to normal.
After being stunned for a long time, Lin Chen cut his arms upside down and paced back and forth in the house, he was thinking, he couldn't really have schizophrenia!
Or, are there really ghosts in the world?
Otherwise, why do you always encounter strange sights again and again lately?
After studying dialectical materialism for so many years, Lin Chen suddenly felt that he had learned it in vain!
He only remembered what the teacher said: Man is material and alive, and if there is no life, there is no consciousness, and there is no soul! So there are no ghosts at all! There are no ghosts in the world!
I hope the teacher is right!
After a few minutes of panic, Lin Chen made a decision.
