Chapter 14: Fear Strikes
The cold wind in the middle of the night soon came, standing at the foot of the mountain, at the entrance of Tianfeng Road, the oncoming yin wind made Zhou Meng retreat, staring at the blockade in front of her, she hesitated, and speculated uneasily: If their death is really related to the closure of the mountain road, then there must be a secret hidden in it, Han Feng obviously has something he doesn't want to say, is it related to Tiandu Peak?
Zhou Meng inadvertently slashed from the left rear side of the waist, the outline of the Derlink 43 semi-automatic pistol was not large, and seven bullets were enough to deal with everything in front of her, she was thoughtful, but she still bent down and drilled over. Walking on a secluded mountain road, walking under the dim street lamps is not a romantic thing, she is constantly vigilant around, and her left hand is always ready to draw a gun. The woman's sixth sense was very strong, and in less than twenty minutes, she was drenched in sweat from her back, not cold sweat or hot sweat, but an ominous omen in her heart had not stopped since she waded into the mountain road.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, tiredness and sleepiness attacking her upper body. It's weird, why hasn't it arrived yet? She was very puzzled, and walked for nearly half an hour, but she still did not encounter the location of the crime cordoned off by the police. Looking down at her watch in confusion, she was stunned, it was only 2:15 in the morning. How is this possible, it was two o'clock when I went up the mountain, and now it has only been fifteen minutes? Doubts fell into her mind, and when she stopped, she looked around, and there was nothing to accompany the desolate and secluded mountainside except for the flickering street lamps overhead. She looked up at the dim light source, as if the voltage was malfunctioning, and the frequency of the flickering was as obvious as her own heartbeat.
Bite! The crisp sound broke the silence, she took a deep breath of coolness, and took out her phone, which was strange, it was a dynamic pop-up from the MS software. Who is coming to the information so late? Could it be related to the case? She guessed as she clicked on the dynamics. It's a text message from a strange phone call, a picture. Suddenly, when she saw this photo, the depression in her heart suddenly gathered. At the same time, she bent down, pressed her left hand on the pistol at her waist, and looked in a defensive posture towards the jungle in front of her right. The right arm holding the phone was trembling, but the photo was very clear, it was a picture of a woman looking up at the street lamp, and this woman was none other than herself.
This familiar process, Zhou Meng immediately thought of what happened to the deceased Yang Huanqiang, she was vigilant to the jungle on the inner side of the road, which was the source of the camera lens, but there was nothing in her eyes, and she did not find any suspicious movements. She almost held her breath and didn't make the slightest sound, in the serious crime team, she had long been used to heart-pounding cases, but now, the violent fluctuation of her heartbeat and the trembling of her body had told her that she was in a state of extreme panic. She didn't pay attention to the cold night wind enveloping her body, nor did she wonder why the circuit of the street lamp above her head was floating, she just looked intently at the dense woods in the jungle, in the dim light.
Bite! Another voice dispersed, and her whole body shook with the vibration of the phone, and her expression was stunned, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was he who was preoccupied with every move in the jungle and looked directly at the camera lens. "No, no, no! You want to play hide and seek with me? She exclaimed angrily, but her voice was extremely unstable, and even if she released all the suppressed fears, it did not help. She jerked out her pistol and took a few bold steps forward until she reached the middle of the road, where she stopped, and the muzzle of her gun was confronted in the dense jungle. Under the streetlights, most of her surroundings were clear, and she knew she was facing a blank, messy pile of weeds, but that's where the camera came from. Could it be hiding in the grass? She guessed, but by the light, there was nothing inside.
Everyone is afraid of the unknown, the world you will never understand, you will always be afraid of what you don't understand. Although Zhou Meng is haunted by fear, her brain is still functioning normally, and now there is an extremely perverted murderer lurking in the shadows, once she is not careful, I am afraid that the ending will be the same as that of two unfortunate students. She clutched the pistol in her left hand and held the butt of the phone in her right arm, and at this time, she was no longer focused on the ethereal weeds, but was wary of everything around her, everything she could see. The cold environment on the mountainside caused the frost to overflow, echoing in the gloomy dense forest, and those erratic fogs were like the wandering ghosts of horror movies.
Doodle...... Doodle...... Zhou Meng dialed the phone at a critical moment. Doodle...... Doodle...... Damn, answer the phone, what are you doing! She secretly said in her heart, nervous emotions caused her hearing to be abnormal, the current when dialing came and went, and the sound was intermittent.
"Hey, who, ah......" The man was in a dream, and it was also a moment of extreme sleepiness, he asked in a daze, yawning.
"Hey, Applejack, Applejack?" Zhou Meng roared uneasily, she lowered her voice for fear of attracting attention, vigilant around, and the head of the gun swayed from side to side with her arm.
"Hey, you're ......" The man struggled to open his eyes, even the faint light of his phone tingling his eye nerves. Oh! Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he rolled over and got up from the dream, his mobile phone was close to his ear, and said in a hurry: "Hey, Team Zhou, what's the matter." He thought he had been caught peeking at the ball game last night, and he was terrified. The woman beside her turned over impatiently.
"Applejack, come on, help me find out where this phone number comes from." As he spoke, Zhou Meng glanced at his mobile phone, and the source account of the photo was an unfamiliar mobile phone number.
"Wait a minute, I'll turn it on right away." The man took a deep breath, loosening his tense and sleepy muscles, and even a little sore, and he was slowly moving down from the bed when he heard Zhou Meng's urgent low roar.
"Quick, Applejack!"
"Oh, good." He scurried out of bed, and before he could lift his pants, he ran to the balcony. "Right now, I'm turning on the computer."
“528,83,9,9151。” Zhou Meng gasped, the icy mist invaded her brain as she gasped violently, slowly suffocating like smoke and dust, as if blocking the flowing air, and she repeated anxiously: "5283, 9151, 52839151." The cry of silence, fear had filled her eyes, and tears of timidity appeared, after all, she was only a woman.
"Team Zhou, you, are you okay?" The man heard the trembling sound on the phone, he had never heard such a panicked and uneasy voice, and it was the voice of his captain Zhou Meng! He had never heard of it. Quickly tapping on the keyboard, repeating in his mouth: "52839151, the phone has been checked, yes, yes......" He scrolled the mouse, and his jumping eyes quickly browsed: "It's a local number, and it's a campus card number, yes, it's the belonging card number of Xiahua College." ”
What is the card number of Xiahua College? Sure enough, sure enough, this matter is related to the academy, could it be that the murderer is really someone Yu Yan knows and a person from the school? Wrong! Yang Huanqiang and Yu Yan are both dead, why is the murderer still here, and what does he want to do? Zhou Meng retreated, but the biting yin wind had already made her legs disobedient, coupled with the excessive panic in her heart, her actions were completely based on the instructions of her brain.
"Hey, Team Zhou, hey? Team Zhou, are you there? Are you okay. The man cried out in bewilderment, and the sound woke up the naked woman on the bed, who had been half-asleep from the phone call just now, and now she was completely awakened.
"You, can you find out who the phone number is?"
"Like, there seems to be a note." The man poked his head out, half-stared, and could see more clearly even if he was not wearing contact lenses. "The card number is, the twenty-third and ninth class of the law department, Yu Yan?" The man's eyes were stunned, and he stepped forward and stared at the number five large black characters on the computer screen. "Yu Yan? Team Zhou, this phone number is from the deceased Yu Yan! He exclaimed, the captain must have found some clues, related to Yu Yan's death.
Yu Yan? Zhou Meng's thinking was scattered by the sudden thunder, and she asked sluggishly: "Yu, Yu Yan's mobile phone, where is it?" ”
Listening to the vague and uncertain words, the man replied with a frown: "Yu Yan's mobile phone? Isn't it supposed to be in the evidence room of the police station? Feed? Feed...... Team Zhou? Are you still there? Feed? "The current on the call was furious, stinging his eardrums, and with a slight pain, he took off his phone and stared at the screen, showing that the connection had been disconnected." It's really strange that in the middle of the night I asked for the phone number of the deceased, and before I could finish the sentence, I hung up the phone. He inadvertently glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, it was only half past two in the morning, but he had already forgotten that Yu Yan's death time was also around this time period.
"Hello? Feed? Applejack? Zhou Meng shouted nervously, but there was no sound on the other end of the phone. Bite! It's another familiar melody, heart-wrenching, Zhou Meng's terrifying expression, messy eyes full of tears staring directly at the phone screen, that photo is the scene when he made a phone call anxiously. She waved her arms and pointed her gun at the weeds. "Come out, come out! I know, you're hiding there! Come out! Zhou Meng roared, the phone fell to the ground, she held the gun tightly with both hands, even if it shook hard, but still tried to aim at the grass. A panicked scream resounded through the valley, hovering under the night sky, and as the cold wind spread, she fought back the echo that echoed in her head, breaking down. "Quick, get out of here, or I, I'll shoot! Come out! The catharsis of anger gradually turned into sobbing, and the fear in her heart finally overcame her fragile will, and she fell to her knees weakly, her stiff fingers fell off the trigger, the butt, and the whole pistol slid to the ground.
"Quick, get out of here." Suddenly, at this moment, a child's voice was heard from the other side of the jungle.
Zhou Meng's nerves, which had collapsed, suddenly woke up again, she heard the voice, in the dense forest shrouded in mist, behind the locust poplar tree, a child's head was revealed, the pale face was terrifying, Zhou Meng almost lost his voice and shouted. "Get out of here, it's coming out soon, get out of here!" The child also looked terrified, and he cried out in a low voice, and then melted into the gloomy fog and dissipated.
