The young reporter used a pencil to point to the piece of paper he had just read. On that piece of paper was a list of the victims and numbers copied from a black diary.
"The mystery of this number has been solved!"
"What's going on? What is ......?"
The reporters who covered the news gathered around his table. The young reporter said proudly: "Listen to me, you see, these are all copied from the black diary, and I have written the dates of the abduction and murder of the victims under their respective names." I've been researching the relationship just now, and I've finally made a big discovery, and this discovery can be written as a special article. ”
"Don't get excited, let's make it clear."
"Listen, be careful not to get scared! Behind the first victim, Mrs. Xuemei, there is a number 132, and the date of the abduction of the second victim, Fan Ling, is exactly 132 days from the date of Mrs. Xuemei's disappearance. ”
"You then look down, the number after Fan Ling's name is 118, and the third place is
The day the victim Mo Jiayi was abducted was also the 118th day after Fan Ling's disappearance. And so on, the rest of those dates are all the same. ”
"Hmm......" The reporters gathered there all nodded approvingly, this is really a great discovery, as soon as this news is released, it will cause a sensation in the entire Dongzhou City
The editor-in-chief also rushed over and ordered the news to be published in the evening newspaper that day. However, all of a sudden, his face changed: "Oops! Incredible!" He exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Editor-in-chief?"
"Now there is a more significant special news, lo and behold, after the name of the sixth victim Williamson, there is the number 114, doesn't this mean that after the 114th day, there will be a seventh victim who has been abducted and disappeared?"
"Yikes! That's right!" The reporters also shouted in unison.
"Williamson was abducted on June 26...... Then, the 114th day from that is October 18, and on that day, a seventh woman will be abducted and sacrificed. If a young lady disappeared on that day, it was captured by a murderous demon with an axe. We must appeal to the citizens of the city to be vigilant about this. ”
Then, the editor-in-chief told the young reporter: "Write a special article about the deference based on the solved mystery of numbers, that on October 18, someone will be abducted and disappeared." Publish it as soon as it's written, and be fast! Be quick!"
As soon as this special article was issued, it immediately caused panic among the women of Dongzhou. Yes! Who will be the seventh victim? That terrifying "axe-wielding woman" is somewhere unknown in the city! Yes! It's horrible......
Finally, the terrifying day of October 18 has arrived.
In the morning, Lang Xiaobai called Yingzi.
"I have two tickets for the evening performance of the Grand Theater here, the seats are upstairs, I want to invite you to watch them together, would you like to come?"
"Thanks, I'll definitely go."
"Well, I'll see you at nine o'clock in the evening, and if you arrive early, wait in your seat for a while. But you have to be careful!"
Lang Xiaobai joked and said:
"It's October 18th! If you encounter a female demon with an axe in the street, immediately go in the opposite direction and hide, you know?"
"Yes, I'll be careful."
Lang Xiaobai seemed to see Yingzi's moving smile on the phone, he put down the phone and smiled.
In the afternoon, Lang Xiaobai bought all the evening newspapers, browsed them, and found no news that women had been abducted.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Lang Xiaobai came to the Grand Theater, and when he got to the upstairs seat, he saw that Yingzi had not yet come.
By 9:30, she was still nowhere to be seen. "Maybe something is delaying for a while." Lang Xiaobai wasn't too worried, but just in case, he still called Yingzi's apartment.
"The young lady hasn't come back!" It was the maid who answered the phone.
Lang Xiaobai immediately became nervous, and he drove his private car to the apartment. This is a high-end apartment, equipped with complete furniture and accessories, which Lang Xiaobai personally chose for Yingzi, and also hired a maid for her.
The maid is young, loyal and reliable. She told Lang Xiaobai: "Miss went to the post office to send a letter at about nine o'clock. When I was about to go out, I also mentioned that when I came back, I would change into my outgoing clothes so that I could go to the theater to watch a play. However, I still haven't seen her come back, and I'm really worried about her. ”
"Who is she sending the letter to?"
"It's to send you a letter, and the envelope has the words 'Mr. Lang Xiaobai received'."
"Oh? I've already made an appointment to meet tonight, so why do you want to send a letter? What is written in the letter?" Strange, it doesn't make sense! Lang Xiaobai's heart became more and more anxious, he waited in the apartment until midnight, but as a result, he still didn't see her come back.
"Oh no, something happened!"
