Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ancient Wall Clock

I subconsciously "clicked" in my heart, and my brain was hot, like a thunderclap in my ears!

Wang Jianfei threw the cigarette in his hand directly out of the car window, immediately turned his head to look at me, and said loudly: "Whose phone is it?" ”

"Chen Xingxing."

After I finished speaking, Wang Jianfei got out of the car without saying a word, and subconsciously pulled out the gun of the red S group from his waist!

I didn't have time to react, so I answered the phone as soon as possible!

"Hey!" I tried to ask.

On the other side, however, there was no sound.

I frowned, my head pressed closer to the microphone, trying to hear something, and then I heard faint breathing......

It's like an old woman's voice, heavy and mixed with wheezing, as if the caller has been violently frightened, and at the moment he can't make a sound, or can't make a sound!

This feeling is terrifying, it is difficult to imagine what the other party is going through at the moment, maybe she has seen the murderer, but she is hiding behind the curtain, maybe the murderer has discovered her and is approaching her step by step, so she can't speak, dare not speak......

Outside the car window, quietly, before you know it, it is already more than twelve o'clock, nearly one o'clock in the morning, the city's bustling nightlife, has quietly disappeared, only the cold wind roars in the night...... A whirring heart-rending sound, like the cry of a restless baby......

Wang Jianfei's eyes widened and he looked at me in horror: "How is the situation?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't know, the other party hasn't spoken......"

"Hurry, hurry! Hurry upstairs! ”

After Wang Jianfei finished urging, he pulled me out of the car, didn't even bother to lock the door, and rushed directly to Cai Wei's house......

Because the occupancy rate of this apartment is not large, in order to save electricity and energy, after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, one of the two elevators is out of service, and only one is open.

Cai Wei lives on the 22nd floor, and the elevator stops on the 22nd floor at the moment!

Wang Jianfei was sweating profusely in the blink of an eye, "Bang bang!" "Crazy press the elevator up button!

At this moment, it is as if time has been frozen, and it is very slow and slow.

Every second is an ordeal.

After a few breaths, the elevator reacted and began to descend from the 22nd floor.

At this time, the phone in my hand hung up.

I was even more uncomfortable, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell where the problem was, at this time I could only secretly pray that Cai Wei would not have an accident! Don't get into trouble! Otherwise, we will be guilty for the rest of our lives!

But God knows if my prayers will become extravagant.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor, which means that the last operation of the elevator was someone who went up to the 22nd floor.

And the entire 22nd floor has four households on one ladder, and the other three households, a girl from a start-up company, works overtime until the early hours of the morning every day to go home, according to her living habits, this point should not be back.

In another family lived a veteran who had gone to bed a few hours earlier, had excellent habits, and went to bed at six o'clock on time.

And the other resident, a young man and a woman, we sat downstairs all the time, and we didn't see anyone going up at all......

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I couldn't wait to climb up the fire staircase!

But reason tells me that I must be calm at this stage!

Otherwise, you won't be able to do it quickly.

Unconsciously, a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually oozed from my forehead, densely packed, wiped my forehead, and my hands were full of sweat.

Wang Jianfei: "Peng! He kicked on the elevator and scolded, "Fuck! The more critical the time, the slower the elevator is!! ”

"Steady!"

I looked at the black 64-style gun in his hand: "Don't worry, steady!" ”

He ignored me.

At this time, the elevator "ding! It opened.

A cold wind blew, the elevator was empty, and a gust of wind swirled around the elevator, burrowing into our necklines and cuffs, and the cold made me shiver.

Wang Jianfei and I couldn't care so much, walked directly into the elevator, quickly pressed the twenty-second floor, and then frantically pressed the elevator's closing button ten times a second!

But the elevator didn't seem to feel our anxiety at all, and closed slowly, and then the mechanical female voice said: "The elevator is going up." ”

Wang Jianfei asked me to stand next to him, he took a few deep breaths hard, and then directly opened the gun safety, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the elevator door!

I can understand his movements.

If the murderer took advantage of our inattention to go up, and didn't know that we were ambushed downstairs, he would definitely take the elevator downstairs, because this situation is the simplest, most convenient, and most efficient way to escape!

So it's very likely that after the elevator reaches the twenty-second floor, we will have a face-to-face with the murderer!

My heart was beating fastening.

Eyes staring intently at the elevator door.

Sometimes, whether you are taking the elevator or waiting for the elevator to pick you up, as long as the surrounding environment is quiet and empty, there will always be a sense of tension and oppression in your heart......

Because you never know what you'll see when the elevator doors open......

The number of elevators is changing rapidly......

In the blink of an eye, I had reached the seventeenth floor.

Fortunately, at this point in time, no one was taking the elevator, and the elevator did not stop in the middle.

I stared at the red number on the upward line, waiting for it to change from 1 to 22.

"Ding......

About a minute later, the elevator doors opened!

Wang Jianfei's grip on the gun tightened!

Unfortunately, though, there was no one at the elevator door!

But neither of us let up, and rushed out of the elevator and rushed directly to Cai Wei's room!

After getting to the door! Knock on the door quickly!

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door!

There's no movement in there!

"Bang bang bang!"

Wang Jianfei knocked on the door for the second time, but there was still no movement on the ground!

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think about it so much, Wang Jianfei suddenly took a step back, and the violent "Peng!" "Kick it straight away!

A strong wind blew out.

The room was pitch black, I couldn't see my fingers, not a single light was turned on, the curtains were drawn, and I couldn't see anything in the dark!

I always felt that this environment was weird and a little abnormal.

I don't have a gun, so I can only subconsciously clench my fists, ready to enter the battle mode at any time!

Wang Jianfei leaned back slightly, probing and walking step by step......

"Miss Caiwei......"

"Chen Xingxing!!"

"Where are you?!"

Wang Jianfei asked as he paced cautiously inside.

Just then, I heard a wheezing sound not far away!

I took a long breath, kept calm, and turned on the flashlight directly as soon as possible, and it flashed!!

The flash frequency of hundreds of times a second shined directly behind the door, and I was dazzled by the flash!

At this time, I only heard a female voice screaming "whoosh", and stood up directly: "Uncle policeman!" Uncle Policeman! Don't do it, don't do it, I'm Chen Xingxing......"

I frowned and rushed straight to the door, "Smack!" Turn on the lights!

The living room suddenly lit up.

At this time, we saw Chen Xingxing standing up with his head covered, with a strange and treacherous smile on his face.

"What's the situation?"

Wang Jianfei did not relax his vigilance, and quickly rushed to the door of each room with a gun, kicked the door open, and aimed the muzzle of the gun inside, beware of anything else.

At this time, Chen Xingxing screamed: "Don't don't, brother policeman, don't open the door indiscriminately, Weiwei is still taking a shower, she just finished drawing a comic, don't open the door, don't look at it......"

"What?!"

Hearing Chen Xingxing say this, Wang Jianfei and I both had black eyes, and we almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" I asked Chen Xingxing.

At this time, Chen Xingxing smiled mysteriously, eccentric, full of admiration and admiration, looked at Wang Jianfei, and then looked at me, and said with an exaggerated expression and tone: "Wow, brother policeman, it turns out that you can really come over so quickly, it's not ten minutes yet!" Looks like I'm wrong about you, I really can't imagine that you guys are actually in ambush near us, it's great! I love you so much! Suddenly there was a sense of security...... You are really the patron saint of the people, I love you to death, Mo Mo Da~~"

Saying that, Chen Xingxing still stared at Wang Jianfei with a nymphomaniac: "Brother Jianfei, do you have a girlfriend?" I've decided, I want to find a cop brother as a boyfriend! ”

I almost didn't have a sip of salt soda squirting out and spraying it directly on Chen Xingxing's face!

We are nervous about our feelings, and Chen Xingxing is playing with us at all!

I glanced at Wang Jianfei, and his expression was even more exaggerated! Mu Ne was a little more angry, and after looking Chen Xingxing up and down a little helplessly, he asked, "What?" Do you want me to be your boyfriend? ”

"That's right, brother, is that okay?" Chen Xingxing's angry speaking style gave me goosebumps when I heard it, and I didn't know if she was like this when she was talking live as an online anchor.

"It's a fart!" Wang Jianfei said: "I remember that you went to your long-distance boyfriend for Halloween last night to make a date, right?" Immediately empathize and don't fall in love with me as my girlfriend, is there anything wrong with you? ”

After speaking, Wang Jianfei pointed to Chen Xingxing's eyebrows: "Let me tell you, report false police, play police, according to the Civil Security Administration Punishment Law, you will be detained!" ”

After speaking, Wang Jianfei waved his hand at me: "Withdraw!" ”

"Don't worry, I have one more thing to ......"

At this time, my eyes fell on the Big Ben on the wall.

Cai Wei said before that it was an ancestral heirloom in her family, a family heirloom, and her grandmother had it for generations, and the scientific name was a grandfather clock, and later she used it and transformed it into a wall-mounted one for the sake of beauty.

This grandfather clock is made of red lacquered wood, which does not match the pink decoration style of the house, and looks particularly abrupt, and even, a little weird......

I asked Chen Xingxing, "How long has this clock been hanging here?" ”

Chen Xingxing said: "You have to wait for Cai Wei to ask Cai Wei after taking a bath." ”

"Can I take a look at this clock?" I said.

When Chen Xingxing heard me say this, he suddenly became nervous, stared at me and asked, "What, this wall clock...... Yes, what's the problem? ”
