Due to various strange phenomena, the last forty-three people unanimously decided to end the three-day camp ahead of schedule, and all returned home. Fortunately, Uncle Sun was reasonable and agreed to refund the money to them.
The next morning, everyone got up early, walked to the nearest bus stop down the mountain, and went home by car.
The originally beautiful scenery of Dazhi Mountain is as unreal as a demon in everyone's heart. Along the way, everyone was discussing the occurrence of those strange phenomena, especially the sudden disappearance of the bonfire. Although many people wanted to explain this phenomenon scientifically, they still couldn't make any sense. Although it is winter now, Dazhi Mountain is a place that is like spring all year round, and there are very few strong winds. They felt that the temperature was very moderate during the party that day. And even if it is blown out by the wind, it is impossible to wipe out such a strong bonfire in an instant, unless it is a tornado.
Secondly, many people said that strange phenomena happened in the log cabin they lived in. Si Yao told about the blood-stained playing cards, and An Yuan also told about Lu Weiping's bucket filled with blood suddenly. The more people talked about it, the more eerie it became. If it weren't for broad daylight, not many people would be able to keep calm.
An Yuan recalled that dream, could it be a harbinger of some kind of disaster? However, it is useless to think about these things now. Anyway, if you leave Dazhi Mountain, nothing will happen, right
Sitting behind him was a boy named Long Ran, who lived with An Yuan, Lin Jian and Wang Baowei. He used to be a talkative person, but now he doesn't say a word. Not only that, but he keeps his head down all the time. When others are discussing, they will not respond when they call his name.
"It's strange..." Si Yao looked at Long Ran's appearance now, she was exactly the same as Shanni. An Yuan also felt that something was wrong, so he said loudly to him: "Long Ran! Long Ran!"
This time he finally reacted a bit. When he raised his head, he saw his distressed face and said, "I... I'm going crazy..."
"What happened?" An Yuan and Si Yao asked together.
"I, I can't tell, I also feel ridiculous... But, I'm sure I forgot something very important, right on Dazhi Mountain, I forgot a very important thing!"
At this time, Ziyan happened to be sitting on the opposite seat. Hearing this sentence, he immediately regained his energy and ran over to ask, "Long Ran, tell me, what have you forgotten?"
"I can't remember it... I really can't remember it, but... if I don't remember it, something terrible will happen!" Long Ran's expression and tone at the moment, in the eyes of Ziyan, are similar to those of his younger brother back then. … makes no difference!
He said decisively: "Long Ran, have you called your parents and told them to go back early today?"
"No, because I have been thinking about what I forgot. I have been thinking about it since yesterday, and I have been thinking about it until now, but I still can't remember it..."
The people next to him felt that Long Ran's words were inexplicable. Since they couldn't remember it, they didn't have to think about it. As for thinking about it from yesterday, is it so exaggerated? However, Ziyan didn't think so.
Si Yao heard Long Ran's incoherent words, but felt very familiar. It seems that someone has said that, I forgot something.
"Listen... Long Ran. After the bus arrives, you and I will go back together. Since your parents didn't know that we were going home early, of course they thought you were camping. After arriving at my house, I will help you remember. Remember!"
Everyone else cast puzzled looks, it's fine for Long Ran to be crazy alone, why even Lei Ziyan, who has always been rational and calm, went crazy with him
However, An Yuan, who knew the cause and effect, understood him very well. He must have thought that the current Long Ran was the same as his younger brother back then, and he could find clues to the culprit who killed his younger brother from him.
Then An Yuan thought, in this way, Long Ran will die too
He himself thought it was funny when he thought of it, how could such a thing happen! He always believed that Ziyan's younger brother's death had nothing to do with that forgotten matter. Although that case was a secret room case, he had seen many methods of forging secret rooms in mystery novels, so it was not impossible to kill people in secret rooms.
However, since Ziyan didn't give up, he didn't intend to stop him, after all, he could understand his mentality of avenging his brother.
After arriving at the station, everyone got off the bus resentfully, feeling very upset in their hearts. It was obviously a pleasant pre-graduation trip for three days and three nights, but it turned into this. Although I feel uncomfortable, there is nothing I can do.
After An Yuan returned home, he threw his bag on the sofa and lay down on the bed. Because my parents have lived abroad for many years, I have always been leisurely at home alone, and there is no need to be restrained. But soon he began to feel restless and wanted to talk to someone to dispel the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
However, the biggest reason is because he doesn't want to sleep. Because once you sleep, it is possible to have that dream. In fact, last night, he had that dream again.
He planned to go to Ziyan's house. After all, if the three of them gather together, the fear in their hearts can be dispelled a lot.
Yes, he was afraid.
When he was going out, the sky that was still so clear just now suddenly changed drastically, and then the heavy rain began to pour down. He immediately went back to the room and took an umbrella, but the rain was too heavy, and there was also a strong wind. An umbrella is almost useless. Ziyan's house is still very close, and it can be reached on foot, so An Yuan gritted his teeth and ran wildly in the heavy rain.
At the same time, Ziyan had already brought Long Ran back home, he was still racking his brains nervously, scratching his hair, and said, "I'm just... I'm going to figure it out... I'm going to remember... No, I still can't remember..."
Ziyan's parents were also very confused when they saw Long Ran's weird appearance, but they never interfered with their son's friendship, and the two were about to go out, so they left without asking much.
After entering the bedroom, Ziyan closed the door first, then let Long Ran sit down, and asked: "What do you think... what is this thing you forgot? Why is it so important to you?"
"Then... of course! Of course it is very important! I can feel that I have forgotten something, but I don't know how to recall it! Ziyan, can you help me recall it?"
Seeing that he had completely trusted him, Ziyan felt that the time was ripe, so he cut to the chase and said, "You don't know my younger brother? His name is Lei Ziliang."
"No... I don't know you. Isn't your brother dead?"
"He's just like you... well, I mean, he's been like you, too, in not being able to remember a single important thing, but knowing that he's forgotten something."
Hearing what he said, Long Ran immediately asked: "Then, did he remember it later?"
"This..." Ziyan didn't know how to respond for a while, he couldn't say that his brother was killed like this later, could he? Isn't this telling Long Ran in disguise that he will die too
On the other hand, Long Ran seemed to be in a hurry, and asked desperately, Ziyan finally had to answer: "He...can't remember..."
"God, what did I forget?"
Hearing Long Ran's confused words, Ziyan became more and more sure... His appearance now is exactly the same as that of his younger brother back then! If he could recall it, he might be able to find clues to his brother's death!
That's right... definitely not wrong!
At this time, he heard the knock on the door, and frowned immediately. It was really inconvenient for a visitor to come at this time. He ran to open the door and saw that it was An Yuan who was drenched in the rain, smirking awkwardly and saying hello to himself.
"Hi, Ziyan...how are you..."
"Come in first... Look at you, your clothes are all soaked..."
Suddenly, a palpitating sound came from the direction of the bedroom. The sound seemed to be splitting... It seemed to be the sound of something very hard splitting, yes, such as bones...
The two immediately rushed into the bedroom like flying, and looked at the terrifying scene in front of them in disbelief.
Long Ran's body... was actually divided into two halves by the left and right!
The crack started from the top of the head and extended to the part of the testicles. Some flesh and blood still partially adhered between them, but the bones were completely broken, and the bloody internal organs and intestines were impressively visible.
Can't make any sound at all. An Yuan and Lei Ziyan, who watched this terrifying scene with disbelieving eyes, both leaned against the wall and vomited desperately.
For Ziyan, this was extremely painful. After his younger brother, he saw someone die in front of him again...
I don't know how long it took before the two finally calmed down, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
"He followed us back."
Ziyan suddenly said such a sentence out of nowhere. However, An Yuan understood immediately. The so-called "he" is the one hidden on Dazhi Mountain... that...
"Me, what should we do?"
The two could no longer bear to look at the corpse, and both returned to the living room.
"Call the police? Us?" An Yuan asked again. However, Ziyan shook his head and said, "We'll bury the body and hide all traces!"
"What... what did you say?" An Yuan suspected that he was crazy, how could he do this!
"I don't trust those incompetent policemen at all. My brother has been dead for so long, and I can't find any clues! Now, Long Ran is dying so badly... No need to ask, the murderer of the two of them is the same person, And before they died, they all said that they had forgotten a very important thing... that's how it happened! If you don't find out the forgotten thing... you can't do anything! Anyuan, help me? Definitely, definitely Catch this murderer!"
An Yuan still disagreed. He said, "Are you kidding me? You are committing a crime! Even if you don't trust the police, if someone dies, you deliberately conceal it. This... is what a murderer would do!"
"Let me ask you... In this situation, who will the police suspect first?"
"Huh? You mean... they will suspect you as a murderer?"
"This home has no signs of external invasion, and there is no sign of a struggle on the body. He died in my bedroom! If I just call the police like this, I will definitely be taken back to assist the police, so I can't continue to investigate further …”
"But, but, if Long Ran disappears, the police will definitely come to investigate you. Many people have heard you say that you want him to come to your house..."
"So... I want you to testify for me that he didn't come here that day. I can't be arrested by the police now, think about it... My brother's case has not been solved for a year, and now another person died in my family, the gang The policemen who only think about meritorious service and promotion will never let go of this good opportunity, they will definitely arrest me! Calling the police is meaningless at all! So... An Yuan, what are you doing?"
He saw An Yuan took out his mobile phone and started dialing.
"No... you can't do that! No matter what the reason is!"
He wanted to go up to stop him, but An Yuan's serious expression and menacing tone made him unable to answer.
After the police arrived at the scene, because the situation was too serious, they immediately blocked the area and set up roadblocks. Even an experienced forensic doctor felt inconceivable seeing such a cruel killing method.
The police believe that the murderer should be a very strong man with a height of at least 1.80 meters and the murder weapon should be an axe. Judging from the amount of bleeding at the scene, the murderer should also have blood on his body. However, there was indeed no sign of any outside intrusion inside the house.
Sure enough, as Ziyan said, he was the first to be suspected.
It's no wonder that both of them said that they didn't see any suspicious characters or strange voices at that time, and they only saw corpses when they entered the bedroom.
However, because it was raining heavily at the time, the possibility that the blood on the murderer's body was completely washed away after he ran outside was not ruled out. But there is no drainage ditch near Ziyan's house. If so, there should be blood stains mixed in the ponded water on the ground.
As a result, both Ziyan and Anyuan were brought to the police station for questioning because of serious suspicions.
At the same time, in a certain corner of the city, in an ordinary residence.
Similarly, in an ordinary study room, a girl in her twenties was sitting on the floor, her expression was pale, her pupils were dilated, she looked horrifying, and she kept panting heavily, on the floor, Various books are piled up.
"What the hell did I... what did I forget? Think about it quickly, if you don't want to remember it again, if you don't want to remember it again..."
