Chapter 9: The Unacceptable Truth

Glancing at the watch in his hand, it was getting closer and closer to the time to meet Ji Yan, I thought, the bamboo forest should be put on the other side first, and it is the top priority to rush to see Ji Yan first, so Uncle Fang simply drove the car over and drove over.

I told Uncle Fang about meeting Ji Yan, and then, before he finished speaking, his face became even more ugly than just now.

"You made an appointment with Ji Yan to meet?"

"yes, just this morning."

"However, his phone went down a month ago, and for a whole month, no one in the police station could contact him!"

How can it be! I flipped out my phone, only to find that the call history with it an hour ago had disappeared!

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how did the call records that existed before disappear out of thin air like this.

Cold sweat seeped down his forehead.

I immediately dialed Ji Yan's phone.

"Sorry, the call you made is down...."

Damn, this early morning, what the hell? I asked Uncle Fang to start the car first and rush to Ji Yan's house, and a bad premonition came to my heart.

It seems that since Wang Li's body disappeared yesterday, strange things have befallen me one after another, it seems that this black gold case is really not simple, and I even began to have some doubts about whether I can catch the murderer in this case.

The police car raced all the way and soon arrived at the community where Ji Yan lived.

It is an old neighborhood located in the old town of Black Gold City. The buildings inside are all red brick houses from the 70s and 80s, and because they are about to be demolished, there are few residents living here.

With Ji Yan's merits, the house has already been allocated in the new urban area. But this person is so strong that after divorcing his wife, he directly gave his new house to his ex-wife and lived here alone with his daughter.

I found an old man, and after asking for a long time, I found out where Ji Yan lived, and walked along the passage all the way forward, the last building, the last room on the third floor was Ji Yan's house.

The corners of the corridor are covered with cobwebs, and it looks like no one has cleaned them for a long time. Uncle Fang and I went all the way up and quickly found where Ji Yan lived.

Outside the door were two cartons of milk and a fruit basket, covered with dust, some of which had begun to rot.

This also confirms what Uncle Fang said is true, if Ji Yan was really at home, these things would definitely have been taken in by him a long time ago, and they would not have been kept outside the house.

"Knock knock!"

"Is the team here? I'm the old side! Uncle Fang stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a long time, there was no movement in the house.

"Goofy, I'll just say he's not there, look, run for nothing! Maybe a month ago, Team Ji left Black Gold City with his daughter. After Uncle Fang finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but I grabbed him.

No, with his strong character, it is impossible for him to leave here without a sound without such a case being solved. Ji Yan's sudden resignation was also strange, and in the house where he lived, there might be clues about the black gold case.

The door in front of me is an old-fashioned spring lock, which can be opened with a slight pull from the inside.

After graduating from school, I learned some lockpicking skills from my old friends, and I still have no problem dealing with this simple lock.

I asked Uncle Fang for two paper clips, one of which was unfolded and straightened, making the end into a shape that curved slightly upward. Go deep into the keyhole, turn clockwise, then unfold another paper clip and insert it, slowly flipping the marble.

subsequently

This series of smooth movements stunned Uncle Fang, digging a slot, it is estimated that I am one of the few people who dares to slieve the door and pick the lock in front of the police.

I could only hear a "click", the spring lock cylinder was broken by a paper clip, and I reached out and pulled the door open.

There was a rotten smell in the room, like the smell of some kind of mold. On the other side of the door, there was a strange yellow rune paper, which was also scattered around the rest of the house.

The two of us walked into the house, and the smell of corruption was even stronger.

All the windows in the house were nailed with wooden planks, and it was almost airtight, and even during the day, it was unusually dim.

The coffee table, the floor, everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were incense sticks or rune paper scattered everywhere. Ji Yan's house, how did it become like this?

"I'll just say he's not there, how can you live in a place like this?" Before Uncle Fang finished speaking, suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of him and ran towards the bedroom at high speed.

The black shadow is more than a meter tall, extremely fast, and runs like a wild animal. This time, it was definitely not an illusion, and Uncle Fang on the side was also frightened enough by the black shadow.

"Goofy... Otherwise... Let's go, there won't be any monsters hidden in this house! ”

"Don't worry, go over and have a look!"

I quickly took out my phone to light it and followed the direction of the black shadow's running.

The wooden floor under my feet is a little old, and every step I take, it squeaks non-stop.

The surrounding darkness is abnormal, surging with an uneasy atmosphere, and the monsters hidden in the dark seem to have stared at us, ready to wait for the opportunity to move at any time.

From the analysis of the room layout, the room that the black shadow sneaked into should be the master bedroom.

Gently pushed the door, and shook off a cloud of dust, the closer I got to the master bedroom, the stronger the smell of corruption, and I almost choked.

Uncle Fang also followed from behind, took out the police gun from his waist and held it in his hand.

He also motioned for me to calm down, and if there were any strange creatures in the room, I could use a firearm if necessary to keep us both safe.

I noticed that what Uncle Fang was holding in his hand was a 9mm revolver, which looked a little old. This kind of firearm has a fast rate of fire, a low failure rate, and it is quite good for self-defense, plus it is an old policeman like Uncle Fang who holds it, so I naturally put my mind at ease and walked to the master bedroom.

With a "squeak", the wooden door was completely pushed open, and immediately, a wide rocking chair came into view, and on the rocking chair, a person was clearly lying.

"Who are you!" Uncle Fang shouted, and at the same time shone the beam of light at the figure, and in an instant, both of us were shocked into a cold sweat.

The man was tall, with his back to us, and he didn't say a word. But he was wearing a red coat, and although he was stained with a lot of dust, he still looked so dazzling now.

The Lady in Red? Could it be that another innocent woman was killed here!

My heart tightened, and I hurried up to check the situation, and as soon as I took a step with my right foot, suddenly, a dark figure emerged from under the rocking chair, and the size of the body was the one we had seen outside not long ago.

The black shadow fell to the ground on all fours, and kept roaring from his mouth, as if to warn me that Uncle Fang and I were not allowed to continue to approach.

An animal of this size, if wild and ferocious, can kill us if we are not careful. Uncle Fang didn't dare to be careless, pulled open the safety bolt, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the black shadow on the ground to ensure that nothing went wrong.

I took the opportunity to turn up the light of my phone to the maximum and shine it on the dark shadow.

When I finally saw the full picture of the shadow, I was completely speechless.

The creeping black shadow turned out to be a little girl in a princess dress, but at this moment, she completely lost the physical characteristics that a human girl should have.

The girl's face was covered with red and black filth, her hair was dirty, and her dress was even more tattered. Her mouth was chewing on something, and she hissed all the time, demonstrating at the two of us.

Uncle Fang's eyes widened, he hurriedly put away the gun, rushed forward, grabbed the little girl, and burst into tears in an instant.

"How so? How so? Seasonal flowers! Flowey, this is the daughter of the season team, how did you become like this! ”

But no matter how much Uncle Fang shouted, the little girl just kept resisting, and tried to bite Uncle Fang's wrist with her mouth to fight back.

Even if she is really Ji Yan's daughter, at this time, she has long lost her mind, and only the instinct of a beast is left in her body.

Taking advantage of Uncle Fang's control of Ji Hua, I took a step forward, walked to the front of the recliner, and finally saw the whole picture of the person by the light of the mobile phone.

The deceased was a man, who had been dead for a long time, wearing a police uniform, and the smell of decay was blowing in his face.

Although the corpse is beyond recognition, with the number of the police uniform he is wearing, and some other facial features, I can still roughly confirm that the person who died in front of me is Ji Yan!
