Chapter 20: The Murderer
At that moment, I finally understood.
The so-called 804 refers not to my house at all, but here. This crime scene is where the woman asked me to come.
Now it feels like all the dots are aligned.
The woman who called me was this crazy woman in white.
Then I wondered why it was 12 floors, but it was marked 804, but I quickly figured out why, the four floors downstairs are all commercial buildings facing the street.
804 doesn't mean it's the eighth floor, and it's not next door to me, it's my own assumption.
The door in front of me was closed, and I hesitated for a long time, but I didn't dare to knock.
I really don't understand why she's doing all this, is her purpose to hurt me?
There's a lot of stuff in there that I haven't figured out. I didn't dare to dig any deeper, and I was going to get out of here right away.
When I was about to take the elevator, I remembered that there was a monitor in the elevator and worried about whether I would leave any evidence. After all, we were involved in a murder, and even if it was manslaughter, I was the one who covered it. To be on the safe side, I decided to take the stairs.
As I walked into the stairwell, something suddenly occurred to me. It was the mysterious middle-aged man who stood at my door for nearly ten minutes as Mr. Gao told me.
The strange man stood at my door for a long time, never knocked, and finally chose to take the stairs down the stairs...... All of this coincides with what I'm doing now!
At that time, I thought this matter was extremely weird and terrifying, but when I thought of my own situation now, I suddenly could understand it, could it be that he also followed a clue and found my home? Worried about what clues to leave behind, so you took the stairs to leave?
Although this is highly likely, because there is no actual evidence, I can only take it as a bold conjecture and keep it in my mind for the time being.
I was about to go downstairs when the door behind me suddenly opened.
I stopped, turned my head, and saw that it was a little girl, about the same grade that should be in elementary school.
What time in the morning, a little girl didn't sleep and ran out to do something.
She stared at me fixedly, her expression stiff and expressionless, and she felt a little frightened when she looked at her in the dark corridor.
I stopped looking at her, and turned to leave, but she called out to me:
"Stop."
I was stunned and turned to look at her warily. Now I can't stay calm in the face of a child.
"What are you doing here?" The little girl asked coldly.
I was stunned, and pretended to be calm and said, "Little sister, don't run around at night." Go back to bed. ”
Her eyes changed suddenly, and her gaze was very cold.
"You're going to die."
With that, she suddenly turned around and ran back into the house, then closed the door.
I looked at the closed door, stunned for a long time, feeling scared, and hurried downstairs.
I thought to myself, I'm afraid I can't get my phone back, although the card can be reissued, but there is still very important evidence in it, that is, the mentally ill person under the street lamp I recorded that night.
I reissued my card, bought a new phone, and went home. I thought, I'm afraid I'll have to re-apply for an ID card or something, and there will be a lot of trouble.
Not long after I got home, Mr. Gao asked me to go to his house to discuss the next steps.
Now that Mr. Gao and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and pain, I have a feeling of dependence on him, especially since he is a calm and thoughtful person, and I always feel that it will be more reassuring to follow him.
The main thing is that yesterday he drove over that woman in order to save me, which is the reason why I am completely grateful to him in my heart, if he hadn't come yesterday, I don't know what the situation is now, maybe I will end up like that scar man. So, I almost owe him my life.
In this case, if Mr. Gao insists on me to hide this matter, I really have no reason to betray him.
After I went, Mr. Gao told me that he had something to discuss with me.
He told me that he had cleaned the car and sold it. He did this because he was afraid that he would be targeted by those people, after all, the license plate number might be seen. Now it seems that we have almost become people in the gap between black and white. Not only can he not ask the police for help, but he is also stared at by a serial murderer.
Teacher Gao said: "The only way we can do now is to find the real culprits and find a way to kill them, so that we can have a chance to return to a normal life, otherwise, we will always be afraid." ”
I was astonished to hear him think, and I said, "But aren't we murderers like this?" ”
"If this homicidal maniac dies, it's just a good thing, not a bad thing, for the police. They won't delve into the case anymore, and eventually it won't be resolved. ”
I gasped, I didn't expect Mr. Gao's thoughts at the moment to be so bold and crazy, I found that I really couldn't guess this elegant man with glasses.
After listening to his plan, I was silent for a long time. Seeing me like this, Mr. Gao came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do this." This plan will not be launched unless it is absolutely necessary. You know, we have to trust each other. ”
Mr. Gao's words made me feel at ease, I trusted his ability and promise very much, I nodded, and somehow I felt a little moved in my heart.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." I said seriously.
As soon as he finished answering, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and looked at the number, stunned. I didn't expect that.
The person who called was Captain Lin.
He's been gone for almost a week. Now he's actually called me himself.
Is he back? Where exactly did he go during this time? What did he hide from me?
All kinds of questions erupted in my head for a moment.
"Captain Lin, you finally contacted me, are you back?" When I got on the phone, I couldn't wait to ask.
Captain Lin still had a calm attitude and said, "Hmm." What's the situation on your end, what's new during this time? ”
As soon as I heard his attitude, I was a little anxious, thought about it and said, "It's hard to say, there are too many things that have happened during this time, let's find time to meet and say, is it okay?" ”
"Yes, but before I do that, I'll warn you of one thing...... There's no one next to you, right? ”
I replied no, after all, Mr. Gao was not an outsider to me, but I still walked a few steps away. Because I can't think of what Captain Lin was going to say to me.
"After this short period of large-scale investigation, we have now identified a major suspect, who may be related to your series of encounters, this person is your neighbor, called Gao Kai. You must be wary of him, this person is very likely to be the culprit behind the series of perverted murders in this city. ”
