Chapter 213: Face to face
There was a scream from the earpiece of my phone that made my scalp tingle, the scream was so loud and so long that it almost punctured my eardrum, and I subconsciously took the phone away. The mournful voice was like laughing, and it was like crying, and I had heard it more than once.
The screaming continued, and I stood on the sidewalk with my umbrella in hand, and the rain was coming, and pedestrians were hurrying to escape a torrential rain. There was a constant shrill sound of traffic coming and going in the roadway, but it was nothing compared to the sound coming from the earpiece.
"Don't pretend to be a ghost, it doesn't make sense to me." I said calmly into my phone.
The screaming in the earpiece stopped abruptly, and I put my phone to my ear and waited for the mysterious man to speak. Sure enough, after a while, the mysterious man's yin and yang strange voice sounded.
Professor Lee...... You are really calm, ordinary people should have been frightened when they heard such a voice, right? The mysterious man said to me slowly, his voice as shrill as ever.
Me: "You're also one of the people behind it, tell me, where did Xu Yi go?" ”
The mysterious man didn't speak for a long time, and I knew he would speak again because he didn't hang up. Finally, the man spoke again: "Where did your woman go, you came to ask me?" ”
I heard the mockery in the mysterious man's tone, I forcibly suppressed the anger in my heart, and before I could speak, the mysterious man spoke again: "Professor Li, your shoulders are wet......"
My nerves tensed instantly, and I looked over my shoulder, and sure enough, the rain was wetting my shoulder. I was holding my phone in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other hand and looking around, the mysterious man was near me! The sidewalk was full of people, and when everyone looked at me, it was like they were looking at a neurotic.
My heartbeat was disrupted by the mysterious man, and at this moment, the mysterious man said, "Professor Li, you don't have to look for me, you can't find me." "The mysterious man's words made me sure that he knew that my shoulders were wet in the rain, and he definitely didn't say it casually, the mysterious man could control my every move, and even my shoulders were wet, there were only two possibilities.
He's near me and very close to me. There was no one standing still, everyone was rushing back, the rain was pouring down from the gloomy sky, and my umbrella was thunderclapping from the huge raindrops. The mysterious man wasn't around me, there was only one other possibility.
He was far away from me, but he used a telescope. Depending on the angle, I looked across the street to the residential building, where a mysterious man could indeed see me if he looked at me with a telescope.
"Professor Li, don't doubt what I said, even if you find my location, you won't be able to catch me." The mysterious man said.
Me: "What is your purpose?" ”
There was another silence: "Do you want to see me?" ”
Me: "You dare to see me?" ”
The mysterious man finally spoke faster, and he said that he had never been afraid of anything.
Man: "If you want to see me, go to the Miyun Reservoir immediately, where the four bodies were found." ”
Miyun Reservoir, this place is destined to be imprinted in my mind for the rest of my life. The three bodies in the 330 case were found in the Miyun Reservoir, and it can be said that this was the beginning of the 330 case. The mysterious man didn't tell me not to tell the others, my every move was under his supervision, and I didn't have a chance to call Jiang Jun and Wen Ning again.
The mysterious man dared to see me, he must have made all the preparations, he may not be alone, if someone else appeared in the Miyun Reservoir, he would definitely not appear. I didn't want to give up this opportunity, so I nodded and said I'd go right away. Maybe I'm in danger, but I have to.
The man laughed weirdly: "It's worthy of Professor Li, he is very bold, but don't worry, I won't harm you." ”
With that, the man hung up the phone.
I waved to stop the car, and several cars heard that I was going to Miyun Reservoir, but they all refused. A kind driver told me that in the past few years, at night, ordinary drivers have not taken the business of Miyun Reservoir, because there have been very horrific murders there in the past few years, and no one wants to go.
It was a long time before I finally stopped a taxi with the driver asking for a higher price and saying that it would only be delivered a kilometer away from my destination. I immediately agreed, and when the car stopped, it was already completely dark, and after paying, I got out of the car with my umbrella, the ground was full of mud, and when I got out of the car, I stepped into the mud puddle.
The car turned around, splashing muddy water all over the ground.
The car sped away quickly, without headlights, and suddenly it was dark. I walked cautiously inside in the dark, and on a winter night that year, I and the police force of City B had been to this place, and the three highly decomposed corpses with their eyes turned to the sky were still vivid.
I walked for a long time, and there was a huge sound of water in my ears, I looked behind me, the mysterious man was coming, and he must have come by car, but I walked for more than ten minutes, and I didn't find any trace of the car. From memory, I found the place where the body was found.
It's overgrown with weeds, and because no one is trimming them, weeds are going to run over my thighs. The rain was still falling, and after walking in the rain for so long, my whole body was wet. Not far from me there was a dense wood, there was no moonlight, and it was pitch black in the secluded woods, and I could only vaguely see the dense shadows of the trees.
I looked at my feet, and the memory went back to a few years ago.
If the corpse is soaked in water for a long time, bacteria will grow in the body, and the putrefactive gas will bloat the corpse of the person, giving rise to the concept of giants.
The corpse's face was swollen, and its two eyeballs bulged out as if they were about to fall out. The lips of the corpse are thickened and turned outward, the tip of the tongue is stretched out, the abdomen is swollen, and even the skin is stained green, because the limbs are thickened, the whole corpse is swollen and expanded into a giant, and it is difficult to recognize its appearance before death, so this phenomenon is called the corrupt giant view.
When I think back to what I saw that day, my stomach still churned. The three corpses died for a short time, and bacteria are not easy to breed in winter, so the phenomenon of the giant view is not particularly obvious, but the four corpses are abnormally highly decomposed, slightly swollen and green corpses, and the flesh falls from the body at the slightest touch.
It was as if I saw a corpse lying at my feet, his eyes wide and staring at me.
Finally, a beam of light pulled me back from my memory, and I squinted my eyes to see a figure in the distance. I've been waiting here for about half an hour, and the only person who will appear in such a remote place at this time is the mysterious man I made an appointment with.
He came in on foot, and I have to say, he was very thoughtful. The road approaching here is full of mud, and driving in is bound to leave tire marks.
The man turned off the flashlight when he was far away from me, and his figure was lost in the vast rainy night, and as the distance approached, his figure reappeared in my pupils. He was dressed in black, and he didn't seem to care at all that I would remember him.
He slowly got closer and closer to me, and it wasn't until I could see his face that I knew why he was so laid-back.
His collar is high, the lower half of his face is hidden in the neckline, and he also has a strange mask on his face, which is deliberately lowered to cover his forehead, and it is impossible to see his face. The man didn't hold an umbrella and didn't stop until he was two meters away from me, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, his eyes behind the mask not knowing where to look.
"Who are you?" I asked.
The man didn't answer me, this was the first time I had met him face to face, the strange man in red and the mysterious man appeared in front of me one after another, I didn't want to lose the opportunity again, he didn't say it, then I forced him to say.
Without any hesitation, I threw away my umbrella, and the icy autumn rain flowed down my collar into my clothes, and this coldness made my brain more sober. I strode forward, my shoes in the muddy water, and even my steps became extremely heavy, and soon I was in front of the man.
I punched the man in the face to subdue him, but the man kept his composure until I reached him and pulled out his pockets.
He pulled a gun out of his pocket, the caliber of which was pointed straight at my forehead.
A gunshot rang out, drowned out in the deafening sound of the water......
