Chapter 35: A Fatal Coincidence (End)
Three days later.
Lou Ming's health is fine, his feet are recovering well, and according to the doctor, he will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. It was supposed to be something to celebrate, but he looked gloomy and listless.
Because, since Lou Ming regained consciousness, he has been riddled with nightmares every night. Yes, he was also doing the nightmare that Liu Ling had: a strange man, a bloodshot back of his head and an angry tone, constantly repeating three words-
Come back!
Moreover, the man's tone became more and more angry, and the nightmare became longer and longer. Being scared awake every night has seriously affected Lou Ming's normal sleep, but he is completely confused, and his spirit is also facing a collapse.
Liu Ling had no choice but to tell her uncle the cause and effect of the whole incident. Lou Ming was surprised to learn that it was a man who died in an alley near Baihua Lane, very close to his truck, but he was also relieved.
"I thought I had accidentally hit someone that night!" Lou Ming exhaled, "In this case, it's okay." But it's also so strange, what exactly does he want me to return? ”
"Uncle, didn't you really pick up anything special that day?" Liu Ling asked curiously.
Lou Ming shook his head like a rattle: "I swear I didn't pick up anything, and besides, I have to pick him up for something for him to pester me like this every night?" A gold necklace, or his daughter-in-law? ”
"Are you sure you didn't pick up any big hard objects like hammers and sticks?" Liu Ling sighed.
"What am I picking up those for?" Lou Ming rolled his eyes, "I'll pick up the bamboo that I fell and bring it back to the truck, is this recruiting him or provoking him?" ”
"Wait!" Liu Ling was a little stunned, "You said you picked up a bamboo?" ”
"That's right," Lou Ming said, "I transport bamboo, don't I pick up bamboo and gold?" ”
Liu Ling stopped talking, and she fell into deep thought. Bamboo, bamboo, can be regarded as a very large hard object, right? If it is said... She thought about it and shook her head again, no, why would Bamboo attack the dead for no reason? Also automatically returned the truck? It doesn't make sense!
She sighed, thought about it, and sent a message to her boyfriend.
At this time, Luo Zhen was in Yin Runyuan's dormitory.
Yin Runyuan, who had just finished the funeral in a hurry, looked very tired, and the whole person was a little sluggish. He didn't seem to have recovered from this series of events, and he couldn't believe that his brother had just left. And Officer Luo in front of him was still asking about the accident.
"That day, I noticed that the scaffolding that Yin Xiang had built was tilted inward. My brother is a newbie, and novices are prone to make this kind of mistake, you know? Yin Runyuan finally chose to speak, "I should have personally instructed him, but I went to dinner." Yin Runyuan looked sad and annoyed, as if he was recalling yesterday's events.
Luo Zhen listened quietly.
"Yin Xiang is young, he is only 20 years old, and he can't be blamed." Yin Runyuan's eyes turned a little red, "He probably thought it was too time-consuming and laborious to rebuild the scaffolding, and he didn't want to trouble other workers, so he didn't even come to ask for my opinion." ”
So instead of removing the sloping scaffolding, he used a few bamboos against the opposite wall at the most sloping point to support the scaffolding outward. But he didn't realize that the wall was newly built, and the strength was limited, and it would definitely collapse under a lot of pressure! Finally said it, Yin Runyuan was relieved.
Luo Zhen was stunned, he heard the word "a few bamboos", and immediately a lightning bolt crossed his mind. As if the drowning man had grasped the life-saving straw, Luo Zhen immediately stood up and grabbed Yin Runyuan's shoulder: "What bamboo, is it moso bamboo?" ”
Yin Runyuan was a little confused, not quite understanding why Luo Zhen was so excited, he nodded hesitantly: "Yes, Officer Luo, how... What's wrong? ”
Luo Zhen opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He walked around in place, seemingly agitated. Luo Zhen felt that he was close to the truth. At this moment, it seemed that the mobile phone suddenly rang, and Luo Zhen saw the message sent by his girlfriend.
"Zhen, I'm wondering, could it be bamboo? The uncle's ghost collision and the strange noise he heard were all related to bamboo. ”
"Take me to see, to see the scene of the construction site, I want to see where that wall is!" Luo Zhen pulled Yin Runyuan and shouted, "Go now!" ”
……
On the seventh day of the incident, near Baihua Lane, the incident occurred in the alley.
Luo Zhen stood alone in the alley, where the deceased fell. It's really a very narrow alley, deserted and remote, and almost no one passes by. He looked up in the direction of the alleyway, where he could see the buildings on the construction site in the distance, and the green safety net was very eye-catching. He turned to look at the end of the alley again, and from here, he could just see the place where Lou Ming parked his truck that day.
The three locations are connected in a straight line. It seems to be a fortuitous coincidence.
His mind began to conjure up images of the day of the crime. The bamboo, which supported the scaffolding, had been bent and deformed by the tremendous pressure, and it got stuck between the scaffolding and the new wall, like a bow and arrow. Suddenly, the wall could no longer withstand the force and collapsed. The pressure was suddenly released, and the scaffold pressed inward, and the bamboo flew in all directions like an arrow from a string.
One of the arrows was an arrow that happened to pass through the brick wall and reached the safety net. It seems like it should have been stopped.
Coincidentally, it happened to rub a steel pipe of the scaffolding, and under the huge friction, the safety net was actually broken! Yes, it flew out of the safety net without any problems. Still, under the attraction of gravity, it seems that it should fall downward.
Coincidentally, there was a bulge in the wall below, and this bamboo hit the bulge. So, with tremendous speed, it bounced out, and it began to fly again, and this time, it flew towards the alley in the distance.
The alley is separated from the construction site by two blocks and seems to be far away. But the building is very tall, and the bamboo flies down from the height, which is enough to make it to the alley. In fact, the alley is very narrow, and if the bamboo hits anywhere outside the alley, it will be stopped.
Coincidentally, it flew right into the alley. There were usually no people in the alley, and it shouldn't have encountered any obstacles.
Coincidentally, the deceased stood in the alley waiting for his wife that day. The bamboo was like a missile, and it was planned by the ghost that it hit the back of his head by coincidence. But that's not the most coincidental thing.
The most coincidental thing is that after the deceased fell, the bamboo did not stop flying. It used its last strength to fly next to Lou Ming's truck, and this truck was actually carrying Mao Zhu! And Lou Ming didn't even turn his head to look at the alley he passed, and didn't find the deceased, so he picked up the bamboo and left the scene.
The murderer is a bamboo. And the deceased died in a series of coincidences that are not in a million.
Luo Zhen thought that even if he did 10,000 more experiments, he would not be able to reproduce this case.
"This is really a fatal coincidence!" Luo Zhen opened his eyes and sighed with a wry smile.
