Chapter 239: The Case Seven Years Ago (7)
Looking at the blood stains everywhere and my mother's already cold corpse, at this moment, I really felt fear in my heart.
I could never have imagined that the serial murders that have occurred in the city in the past month were actually committed by the man in front of me.
What kind of skin is hidden under my father's hypocritical appearance!
"Squeak, squeak!"
Just as I was about to flee here and report the incident to the police, the faint sound of the metal bed in front of me drew my attention again.
The metal bed was placed in the innermost corner of the darkroom, similar to the kind of bed used in hospital surgery, made of metal, but the exposed part of the bed had already been eroded into a dark black by blood.
From my current angle, I can see what seems to be something squirming slowly on top of the bed.
With the frequency of the thing's wriggling, the creaking sound of the sharp object from before could be heard as it cut through the metal utensils. It was this sound that drew me all the way from the room to the darkroom.
What will be lying on the bed at this time? Is it a living person? Could it be that another poor man who is about to be killed by my dad?
Looking at my mother's already cold corpse on the ground, I hesitated again when I thought of this.
Do you want to save the poor man from the demon in front of him? If I rush to report the crime now, by the time I get back, there is a high chance that the victim on the metal bed will be killed by him.
But if I stay here, with the long blade in my father's hand, maybe I will be killed by him with me. Although the tiger poison does not eat children, my wife who has been with me for more than 20 years can be easily killed by him, and I don't think that at this time, he will spare my life.
"You... Why on earth would you want to do this? ”
After thinking about it for a long time, in the face of my father who was constantly approaching with a knife, I finally held back such a sentence, thinking of taking the opportunity to delay the time so that I could come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
"After this, you'll know."
"After that... How long after that? ”
"Maybe it's a few hours, maybe it's a few months, maybe it's a few years, maybe it's decades. Who knows! ”
But in the face of my inquiry, my dad was still expressionless, and at the same time, waving his sharp blade, he kept approaching my location one after another.
Or maybe he already understands my intentions and doesn't want to give me enough time to think about it.
Looking at his cold face, and the blood that continued to drip down the blade, for a moment, I was really stunned.
At the time, I was just a seventeen-year-old high school student, not strong enough to figure out how to deal with a psychopathic murderer. To be honest, in that case, I wasn't scared to pee my pants, which was pretty good.
Whoever was on the metal bed, I didn't want to stay here anymore, I had to get out and get the police to help. The serial murder case is already in a big swing around here, so the police will definitely come and subdue this bastard.
He will become a perverted demon in people's mouths and be spurned forever, while I will become a hero who catches the demon and gets out of the sea of misery from now on.
In short, no matter what, I don't want to stay in this bloody "hell" for a moment.
"Kid, are you going to run away?" My dad seemed to see my intentions, and suddenly a subtle smile crossed his cold face.
Instead of answering him, I turned around and ran straight down the narrow pathway.
The floor of the chamber was unusually sticky, and the wounds from the previous fall turned into pain, which continued to rush to the center of the brain.
At this moment, I must be extra careful, the exit is ahead, if any accident happens at this time, there is no doubt that I will be brutally killed by this perverted murderer in front of me.
The moment I approached the passage, my mother's stiffened corpse reappeared in front of me.
There are some things that I can't regret until I lose them, but now, I miss the woman with a straight face, waiting for me to come home at the dinner table.
Although this woman had never taken care of me for a single day like a mother, she had raised me for seventeen years. Looking at her broken corpse and miserable white face, at this moment, the unbearable sadness finally overflowed into the bottom of her heart, turning into two lines of tears, and falling in a stream.
Crying out for my mother, tears raining down. May you be blessed with peace and happiness in the next life, and you will no longer have to endure this torment!
Just as I was about to rush into the passage, my father's voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Goofy, look, who is this!"
My intellect told me not to go back, and then it would be all over. However, at that moment, the body seemed to be out of the control of the brain, and unconsciously stopped and glanced back.
There is something called curiosity, but it seems to have been with me since birth.
I unconsciously stopped, turned around and glanced at it, however, just this glance made me feel as if my whole body froze together, and my brain stopped thinking.
It turned out that during that time, my father did not chase after him, but turned around and walked to the metal bed in the passage.
He held the blade in one hand, and lifted the figure on the bed with the other and placed it beside him.
Compared to the emotionless before, at this moment, his eyes were full of banter, as if an experienced hunter was facing the prey that he thought he could escape.
This man had been able to do so much before, and there was no way I could have escaped from him that night. The so-called way of life is just as slim as the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water, as long as he wants to, there are thousands of ways to play me to death.
However, the way my dad chose was indeed the most cruel.
By the dim light of the chamber, I finally got a good look at the victim's face on the metal bed.
The emaciated face, the delicate face, and the ponytail that was originally tied just right, were spread out at this time, and they were stained red by blood.
Before this, I could never have imagined that the person lying on the metal bed board at this moment, being coerced by my father, would be Liu Dan!
Liu Dan had a cotton ball stuffed in his mouth, his hands and feet were tightly tied by a rope, he couldn't move at all, and there was a bloody wound on his back, and the blood was spreading along his long hair and towards the sides of the bed on both sides.
The sound of the sharp object rubbing against the metal before was the sound she made as she slammed her fingers against the bed with her only movable fingers.
When he saw that it was me, Liu Dan's eyes, which were originally like ashes, suddenly lit up with a glimmer of light. She suddenly struggled violently, striking the head back and forth, as if expecting me to take her out of this hell.
There is nothing more tragic in the world than destroying the good with your own hands in front of you. There is nothing cruel in the world to make you see hope first, and then make you realize that you are in despair.
The former is for me, and for the latter, it is for Liu Dan.
My dad just held the dagger and put it on Liu Dan's neck, and suddenly swung his arm violently, stabbing the dagger into her lower back.
In an instant, Liu Dan's originally pale cheeks were almost distorted because of pain, and her emaciated body trembled like an electric shock. A fountain of blood poured down the sharp dagger, staining the surrounding area red.
"What do you want to do!" For a moment, I almost lost my mind, clenched my fists and rushed straight back into the secret room, the original fear had long been replaced by anger.
"That's right, if the protagonist escapes, then all these things I have carefully arranged for so many years will be meaningless!" My dad looked at me with a strange smile on his face, and suddenly pulled out the dagger, put it to his mouth, and savored it.
It was so disgusting that I never wanted to see it a second time in my life.
"Bastard, let her go!"
"Don't come here!" Seeing that I was a little out of my mind, my dad suddenly removed the dagger from his mouth, and then put it on the side of Liu Dan's neck.
Based on what I just did, I dare to assert that as long as the madman in front of him wants to, he can take Liu Dan's life in minutes!
Looking at Liu Dan, who was already frightened and almost unconscious in front of me, at this moment, I suddenly regained my senses.
From the moment I entered this dark room to the present, I have been like a prey, controlled by him and applauded. If I want to change the status quo, if I want to rescue Liu Dan, I have to calm down and come up with a countermeasure.
At least we have to think of a way to get him to remove the dagger from Liu Dan's neck!
"Good, good! I won't go! What the hell do you want to do? ”
Seeing that I was no longer close, my father's tense body finally relaxed slightly, and he played with the dagger again, and said to me with interest: "Son, haven't you found out what I want to do?" It's all a gift from me and your mother! ”
"Gift, what do you mean?" Looking at my dad's crazy gaze, an unprecedented fear gradually permeated my body.
Seventeen years later, why is he talking to me today? Why is it today that he wants to remind me to pay attention to the time of the appointment?
I began to realize that all this was deliberately arranged by the crazy man in front of me.
"Remember what I told you in the afternoon? You have extraordinary potential in reasoning and solving crimes! Your talents, your living environment, and even your personality are all close to perfection, but what is lacking is only one opportunity, an opportunity to inspire this perfect talent! ”
