Chapter 04: Death Threats
(September 22) countdown to the 99th day
At lunchtime, Yao Xiaofei's preoperative preparation meeting was still in progress, but the WeChat message prompts rang one after another, she had to say "sorry", picked up her mobile phone and glanced at it.
She chuckled, put down her phone expressionlessly, and gave a detailed explanation of the surgery to be performed in the afternoon, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
With the help of the interval between lunch, she learned more about the murder through the circle of friends, a sanitation worker stumbled upon blood stains on the balcony and was so frightened that she fell off the ladder; The murder occurred in Room 604, Unit 2, Building 11; The deceased are two men, and some people are still discussing whether it is gay // sex // love; The police have launched an investigation into the residents of the community, and 15 apartments in the community have been listed as key targets......
Reading this information, Yao Xiaoyi's scalp was numb, and the quarrel she inadvertently witnessed last night turned out to be a murder case? Both are dead...... Wait, I only saw two figures, if both of them died, who was the person who appeared by the window at the moment of lightning and thunder? Could it be that there is a third person in the room?
The moment the lightning came, she was wrapped in a bath towel and her hair loose, standing motionless on the balcony like a stake. It was also at that time that a figure appeared by the window of the murder room, and the figure seemed to be attracted by something in the building she was in, and paused, before quickly closing the curtains and the lights were quickly extinguished. Could it be ...... Could it be that the moment when the lightning illuminated the entire community, he happened to be seen by the person opposite?
Thinking of this, she was distracted all afternoon.
"A witness to a homicide, a witness to being witnessed." She was driving on the way off work, and as soon as this special identity came out, she felt that every car that appeared in the rearview mirror was following her, so that the green light was on for a long time, and she was still stunned in a daze, attracting a clear scolding from the car behind.
Remembering that the murder happened on the opposite side of the balcony, she closed the window and closed the curtains as soon as she got home. As soon as I turned back to the living room, my mobile phone rang, and it was a strange call.
She pressed the reject button, but before she could put it down, the phone rang again; Refuse, resound.
Who is so uninteresting? She thought to herself, helplessly.
"It's Yao Xiaofei, right?" The voice of a middle-aged man.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am...... You didn't talk nonsense to the police, did you? ”
"Police? What police? ”
"Oh, it looks like the police haven't found you yet. A word of advice, don't tell the police what you see. ”
"What did I see? What do you see? You are...... The guy who closed the curtains last night? ”
"You're the one with the bath towel. Remember, if you want to live, don't tell the police what you see. ”
"How do you have my phone?"
"Not only do I have your phone number, but I also know your business address, well, how you drove back today, we also know very well."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Having said it, it doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what you say to the police."
“…… Why should I listen to you? ”
"Then you're going to die!"
The other party hung up the phone after speaking.
Yao Xiaofei stayed on the sofa, thinking about calling the police, but the phone rang again, it was still the same person.
"Are you hesitating to call the police? I advise you, don't. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I know you also have a sister who just graduated from college, her name is Yao Xiaoyi, right? ”
"You...... What did you do to my sister? ”
"Rest assured, nothing has been done so far. The police should be knocking on your door soon, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform. A final warning, don't talk nonsense. ”
A few minutes after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door.
She was startled again, and through the cat's eye, she saw two policemen, a man and a woman.
She hesitated and opened the door. The female police officer showed her ID, her name was Liu Qing, she was from the Aoyama Police Station, and said that she had come to investigate the murder that occurred in the apartment building opposite last night.
"I understand."
She invited the police into the room and muttered to herself: The strange phone said that the police would come and knock on the door soon, and sure enough, it didn't take a few minutes to come, indicating that the stranger knew everything about the police's actions, could it be that the stranger was lurking somewhere, secretly observing the police's every move? Then his words and deeds in the face of the police are also under the surveillance of the other party?
"What time did you get home last night?" After understanding the basic information, the male policeman named Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at the direction of the balcony seemingly unintentionally.
"10:20, no more, no less, it rained in about 20 minutes when I came back."
"So at such an accurate time?"
"On the way back by car, I deliberately looked at the time and tried to rush back between 10:20, and the time to come back was just right, and it was finally in time for the rain."
"Did you see or hear anything?"
"Nope."
"Are the curtains always closed?" The male officer pointed in the direction of the balcony.
"Yes." She turned to the side slightly, remembering the warning the strange man had just given, and quickly answered.
"Pull it up during the day?"
“…… If you are not at home during the day and open the window, you will not feel safe. ”
"What are you doing when it's raining?"
"Just took a shower, ate ice cream and watched TV."
"What kind of TV are you watching?"
"What TV...... I don't remember clearly, but I just randomly transferred a station. She didn't expect such a question.
"Well, thanks. If you think of something, you can give this call. At the end of the questioning, the male officer handed her a business card.
She sent the cop out of the room, hesitating to give a hint, and the warning of "I know you have a sister" flashed through her mind. She dismissed the idea and watched the two disappear into the elevator.
When the door was closed, the phone rang again, and it was still the same unfamiliar number.
"I'm very satisfied with your answer."
"Who the are you? Where are you hiding? ”
"I'm in a place where you can't see me, but I can see you."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone again.
She quickly rushed into the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, and checked in turn, but there was no one!
The windows were closed, the curtains were closed, and there was no one hiding in the room, so the other party could hear the conversation between her and the police.
