"My brother died of illness three years ago." Lin Tao's father said sadly: "Xiao Tao used to live in my brother's house in Qingshi, when Xiao Tao quit his job to take care of him, not long after, my brother was gone, and he gave the house to Xiao Tao before he died. ”

"It means that Lin Tao was also in Qingshi three years ago." Xu Rui nodded, he stood up and said, "I'll take you to see the corpse, but there's no need for an autopsy, because he was strangled to death by the murderer." ”

Lin Tao's father sighed: "It's good not to do an autopsy, I want Xiao Tao to leave completely." ”

Du Xiaoworm and Xu Rui took the couple to the autopsy room.

I sorted out the things I asked, and the suspicious time was between July and August last year, what happened in that period? I thought about it for a while, and felt that it was necessary to visit Lin Tao's neighbors and security guards who had worked in the community for more than a year, if the crime scene was at Lin Tao's house, maybe anyone could have an impression of the woman who went in and out with Lin Tao at that time.

I called Xu Rui and said that I was going to go to the scene of the crime with the living dead, and he agreed. I stood up, walked up to the living dead and said, "Brother Huo, let's go to Lin Tao's house." ”

"Okay." The face of the living dead zombie moves slightly.

We took the car keys hanging on the wall, drove Xu Rui's car to the destination, pushed open the door of the security room, I asked if there was a security guard who worked here before July last year, and the old security guard who read the newspaper said that he was, he had worked for five years, and the rest of the security guards came late.

I asked directly: "Lin Tao, who died in the early morning, is the man who ran out shouting for help yesterday evening, do you have any special impression of him?" For example, he usually looks at who he has been in and out of the community with, especially unfamiliar faces. ”

The old security guard thought back for a moment and said: "I have the impression that this man usually goes in and out alone, and his parents rarely come. Oh yes, he used to live here with his uncle, but a few years ago his uncle died, and he was left alone. The man was very polite and smiled at us every time he walked by the door. When I was on duty, I probably didn't notice that he was in and out of the neighborhood with any strange faces. ”

"Not once? The focus is on July to August last year, you think again. I pestered, after all, he has been working here for a long time, every day is to watch the owners in and out, and then form a long-term pattern of memory, unintentionally can remember the law of most of the owners, not only that, if a couple often walk together, suddenly a man or a woman in and out alone, may not have an impression, but if a person who has been in and out alone for a long time suddenly walks with a woman, this will surprise people's brain cells, and the impression will naturally have.

The old security guard's fingertips rubbed the newspaper and thought for more than ten minutes, and he said a little uncertainly: "It seems that there was really such a time in the second half of last year, but I really can't remember the specific month." ”

With a flash of thought, I took out a pen and paper and said, "What kind of person did he go out with that time?" ”

"Female." The old security guard thought and said, "Maybe it's a red dress?" I don't remember what she was wearing, but the young man was holding her hand and entering the door. Anyway, what impressed me the most was the red dress, and then I never saw the woman again, and the young man went in and out alone as before. ”

Immediately, he said in surprise: "I heard that this young man jumped down in a red women's robe last night and fell to his death, could it be that the little girl in the red dress died and came to ask for her life?!" ”

"The murderer is a man, and the deceased did not jump down and fall to his death, he was strangled to death and then thrown down." After I finished explaining, I said: "At that time, you only saw the woman in the red dress and Lin Tao entering the community together, did you see the two come out or the woman came out alone?" ”

The old security guard shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention, even if I did...... I forgot about it."

I nodded, it is true, it is rare to be able to recall that there is a woman in a red dress who has entered the community with Lin Tao, I didn't force him anymore, and then left the security room with the living dead and went to the door of the third unit of Building 7, I pressed the dial key of 201, and after a while, someone answered: "Are you?" ”

"Police, we're here to investigate." The living dead said gloomily.

His immortal voice startled the housewoman, thinking that the ghost who killed Lin Tao last night had come to this unit to ask for her life again, and she screamed "Ah".

I explained depressedly: "Calm, we are really police, rest assured, it's broad daylight." ”

The woman calmed down after hearing this, and she remotely opened the door of the unit.

As I walked in with the living dead, I said, "Brother Huo, can you speak in a normal tone, this case is different, don't scare people." ”

The living dead innocently said, "That's my normal voice." ”

"What about the abnormal...... I wondered.

"That's right, listen up." The living dead said a few words in his throat, and I got goosebumps when I heard it, if it was a sad grudge before, now it is like a jumping corpse lying on its stomach in the grave!

I waved my hand and said, "Brother Huo, I was wrong, you should stop talking later." ”

The living dead snorted and looked away.

We came to the door of 201 and knocked on it. I deliberately stood in front of the cat's eyes to block the figure of the living dead, and the deceased's neighbor looked at the cat's eyes for a moment, and then she opened the door with peace of mind and said, "Officer, come in." ”

I stepped through the door.

At this time, the woman saw the living dead, and she was terrified for a while, and ran to the sofa in the living room with a "whoosh", and pointed at me with half of her head exposed, and said, "Officer, officer!" There's a zombie sneaking in after you! ”

"Ah......~~!" The living dead roared hoarsely, and waved his hand at the woman with his mouth wide open.

I said in my heart that you are too bad to taste, and when I was about to stop it, the woman next to the sofa collapsed to the ground with her eyelids rolled up.

The living dead said in surprise: "No, this is scared to death?" ”

"If it's true, you're in trouble." I rushed to the woman's front and tried her breathing and carotid artery, but luckily she fainted.

The living dead spread his hands and said, "You can't blame me, she first said that I was a zombie, which greatly traumatized my self-esteem." He walked up to the woman and reached out to grab the other person's acupoint.

After a while, the woman woke up, she looked at the living dead with a trembling voice, "Officer, help......"

I cleared my throat and said in a serious way, "There are no zombies. ”

Before I could finish the next sentence, the woman's mouth opened wide in horror, and her eyelids rolled again and she fainted. I was surprised and said, "Brother Huo, what's the situation?" ”

"She misunderstood what you meant, thinking that you can't see zombies, but she can see them, so she thinks that zombies are aimed at her." The living dead said helplessly: "In the past, Sister Li and I had a similar situation when we investigated, and I still look like the other party's dead husband......"

I secretly decided that I wouldn't kill him in the future and not take him out alone.

The living dead continued to pinch the woman, and when the other's eyelashes twitched, the former ran ahead to open the door and hide in the hallway. The woman opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked around, kept patting her chest and said, "Officer, am I going to be killed......"

I explained: "He's my colleague, a living person, but his face is pale all the time. ”

The woman nodded incredulously, "Really? He's so much like a classmate of mine who died before, and I was almost scared to death when the female ghost went to the little brother next door last night, and I thought the ghosts and zombies were coming. ”

"yes." I sighed and said, "Hey, forget it, let's get down to business." Then I repeated what I had asked the old security guard to remember.

The woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly and she thought about it for a long time, and said, "Last year's July and August? After you say that, there's something really wrong......"

"What's wrong, you saw Lin Tao and the woman in the red dress enter the house?" I couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's not."

The woman's face was more terrified than when she saw the living dead, and her voice trembled: "My son was in elementary school for the summer vacation, so I was sure it was July and August. In the past two months, I can always smell the fragrant smell of meat in the corridor, like 203...... Could the little brother next door have cooked the female ghost's body and eaten it!? ”
