Chapter 274: The Dead Reappear
I picked up Lin Xiaoxue, used all my strength, and walked towards the lower floor of the stairs.
This place is full of danger, and it is necessary to meet them as soon as possible.
Xiaoxue fell into a coma, and my shoulder was stabbed, and if anything happened again, we would not be able to cope with it at all.
But at that moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded straight from the bottom of the stairs, and it seemed that someone was trying to run in the direction where I was.
Who could this person be?
I put down Lin Xiaoxue in my arms, clenched the saber tightly, and shouted at the figure on the stairs at the same time: "Who are you?" ”
"It's me, Sister Yue'er!"
Sister Yue'er? Isn't she in charge of searching the second floor of Area A? Why did you suddenly run up to the fourth floor here, is it possible, Sister Yue'er encountered some urgent situation, so she needs my help?
When he was puzzled, he saw Sister Yue'er's familiar face slowly appearing in the dark. Her face was bloodless, her hair was scattered, and there was a clear scar near her left knee, which was still bloodstained, and judging by the situation, she should have just fallen and injured it not long ago.
When she saw Lin Xiaoxue in my arms, Sister Yue'er was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked me how I found Lin Xiaoxue and why did she appear here?
"It's a long story." I waved my hand and told her not to dwell on this matter for a while: "What about you? Did you encounter something unexpected? ”
I can't help but feel uneasy when I think of the strange hallucinations that appeared on the fourth floor just now, the feeling is too real, whether it is the guy who looks exactly like me, or my dad's rotten face that has been pierced by bullets, but it seems as if it is actually in front of me.
After the hallucination, Lin Xiaoxue suddenly appeared, and then went crazy and wanted to kill me. From this point of view, Xiaoxue's appearance may have something to do with that weird hallucination. Since there has been such an accident on the fourth floor, does something similar happen on the second floor where Sister Yue'er stays?
"There is still some time before the agreed meeting, why don't you follow the agreement, but suddenly run up by yourself?"
"Because ... Because... In an instant, Sister Yue'er's cheeks became even whiter, and her trembling fingers pointed to the three-story building: "Didn't you hear the screams just now?" ”
Screams? I didn't hear it, and of course, maybe I missed it because of a hallucination.
According to the agreement, Li Ke is in charge of the third floor of Area A, and the screams that Sister Yue'er said can only be from Li Ke, could it be that during the time when I hallucinated just now, Li Ke also encountered something?
Now that Xiaoxue has found it, the next focus is on finding out the second "killer".
It's been about half an hour since the eight of us parted from the hall on the first floor, and now it's a good opportunity for that guy to act!
"You lead the way, go down and see what happened to Li Ke!" I continued to carry Xiaoxue on my back, and under the leadership of Sister Yue'er, I headed towards the third-floor passage.
With another living person by my side, I also have some confidence.
Like the fourth floor, the passage on the third floor is very dark, and the air is filled with the smell of blood.
"Li Ke, are you there, I'm Gao Fei?" shouted straight at the quiet corridor, but received no reply at all.
In an instant, my whole heart couldn't help but hang again.
"When did you hear the screams?"
"A few minutes ago, I can't remember the exact time." Sister Yue'er pondered for a while, and unconsciously leaned over, so close that she could obviously see that her whole body was trembling slightly.
In the case of extreme fear, the body gradually cools down as the blood flows back to the brain. At this time, the skeletal muscles of the human body will constantly shake to produce heat, which can replace the heat lost in the body.
At this moment, Sister Yue'er should be really scared.
After experiencing the incident of almost drowning in the bathtub before, a woman like her is also scared. After all, there is no one in the world who is not afraid of death.
"Wait! There's someone ahead! A burst of exclamation made me quickly stop, and following Sister Yue'er's gaze, I suddenly saw a strange figure standing at the end of the dark three-story corridor.
The familiar picture turned out to be the same as the scene seen in the previous dream, which is too weird. In an instant, a bad premonition gradually swept through the whole body.
"Li Ke, are you there?"
I shouted, but the figure stood straight and didn't respond. Cold sweat continued to ooze from my back, and I couldn't help but gasp when I remembered the strange person who rushed out of the hallucination at the beginning.
I motioned to Sister Yue'er to be more careful, and at the same time clenched the saber in my hand, and approached the direction of the figure step by step.
"Something isn't right, did you hear anything?"
"Like, the sound of water droplets?"
Tick, tick, the original small sound in the corridor was very eye-catching, and suddenly, I understood what was going on.
Gritting my teeth, I rushed forward in a few steps, and when the beam of the flashlight was enough to illuminate the entire area, I was speechless by what appeared in front of me.
I saw a figure standing at the end of the corridor, and it was Li Ke. There was a narrow scar on his neck, which cut almost the entire neck, and blood gushed down the wound like a bank, staining the surrounding walls red.
It was as if all four walls had been painted with blood.
The sound of water dripping that we heard just now was blood dripping down the placket of his clothes, forming a small pool of "stagnant water" on the floor in front of him. Judging from the area of the "stagnant water", Li Ke should have been dead for a while.
Sure enough, the "second killer" took advantage of the time we were apart to act again. At this point, I can only hope to find some clues from Li Ke's corpse, and then deduce the true identity of that guy.
Li Ke's hands were tied by some kind of hard steel wire, hanging from the doorknobs on both sides, and because of this, even after death, he could still stand straight and stand in place, instead of falling directly to the ground.
The other party's method of cutting his throat was very professional, just like the two corpses he saw before, all of them directly cut the arteries with a knife, and Li Ke should have killed directly without even having time to struggle.
It was precisely because the artery was directly cut that there was such a terrible amount of bleeding, and almost the entire wall in front of him was stained red.
It is worth noting that on Li Ke's lower back, there are half black footprints.
The half of the footprint was very dark, as if it was embedded directly in his body. This scar is supposed to have been formed by gravity before death. When a person dies, the blood stops flowing, so the bruises received before death are clearly presented in the form of bruises.
If I hadn't miscalculated, after the other party cut Li Ke's throat, in order to prevent blood from splashing on his body, he kicked him in the back and kicked him away from him. Although Li Ke is thin, his weight is definitely not light, and if he wants to kick him so far away, the murderer must have a certain amount of leg strength.
After Li Ke died completely due to excessive blood loss, the guy leaned over again and hung him in the air with a piano wire, creating such a strange crime scene.
According to a rough estimate, the entire murder process should last about five to ten minutes, and we were separated from Li Ke for only forty minutes.
Now, the suspicion of the crimes of those people in Area B can be completely cleared. If they swirl the stairs back to Area A, a few of us should be aware of it.
In this way, the real murderer of Li Ke is hidden among the four people in Area A.
"Sister Yue'er! Investigate who the guy on the first floor of Area A is, do you remember? ”
"Investigate the first floor of Area A?" Sister Yue'er muttered for a while, and then, her face became extremely solemn, and after a while, she slowly spoke: "I remember, it seems to be the man named Long Zaitian?" ”
