Evil As Humans

Chapter 17: Killing intent

Views:

When he first heard that he could take a vacation, Yin Ren was not happy.

They probably came up with an idea while eating, and spent the rest of the time running on the wrong path - at least Shi'an thought it was wrong. The investigation was stopped after only a day or two, and some people were absent without permission during the period. Will Shi'an really give them a probationary period

Zhong Cheng said he felt disappointed from head to toe. After returning to the table, his eating movements became much weaker.

After the meal, several people exchanged contact information. Lin Bei still had work to do, so he took a taxi directly back to the studio.

"Let's go for a walk." Yin Ren suggested.

The restaurant is next to the river, with thousands of lights reflected on the river, and the cool river breeze is amazingly tempting. More importantly, Zhong Cheng said that he was like a cat with his beard cut off, falling into a state of half confusion and half thinking.

Just as Yin Ren thought, Zhong Cheng said he did not refuse. He guessed that even if he said "Let's jump off the building", Zhong Cheng would subconsciously say "Oh."

"There's news from Liang Shan, I can't understand it." Yin Ren felt comfortable in the night breeze and casually raised a topic, "What does 'on standby in the name of auxiliary personnel, waiting for the outcome of the incident' mean?"

Zhong Cheng said Shen Si: "It should be considered some kind of paid leave."

"We act without punishment without punishment?"

He turned his head and looked at Yin Ren.

Yin Ren: "...Thank you too?"

In short, it’s good that I didn’t lose my job.

The lights were dim, and Yin Ren's outline had an edge of warm light.

[The final result: Thank you Brother Liang [poor]]

[The big river flows eastward: Just show your work card and you can enter the place that has been inspected]

Shi'an's regular employees went into battle, each armed with a detection machine, and were carefully exploring every corner.

"The phenomenon is like C-B4, 'gap'. According to Liang Shan, if Gao Mengyu enters the gap, she will definitely 'not come back'. Shi'an's primary goal may not be rescue, but prevention."

Zhong Cheng stopped for a moment as he spoke.

[Final success: Mr. Liang, can I still enter Fanghua Apartment?]

Yin Ren walked close to the river, stopping from time to time to look at various facilities. Tonight was considered a formal social occasion, so Liang Shan sent him a high-end black shirt. The long hair was tied into a low ponytail by Yin Ren and braided several times without leaving any trace. His hair is soft and looks low-key and not messy, as if it is part of the evening breeze.

[The final result is positive: we still want to check again]

"How to say?"

Yin Ren didn't understand and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

"Paid vacation..." Yin Ren chewed on these four words for a while. They were as refreshing as the river breeze on a summer night.

After all, Zhong Cheng said he was the one who took the lead in "acting without authorization and pursuing the case on his own", so he should be relieved that he would not be held accountable.

But Zhong Cheng said his expression was solemn. He looked at the river in the dark night and didn't know what he was thinking.

Thinking of this, Yin Ren spoke with a firm tone: "If I do such a bad job the first time I start work, I'll be so embarrassed!"

"I don't want to give up now, it's a life."

[The big river flows eastward: ... ... ... ]

[The river flows eastward:... Well, I understand. Go ahead, let me say hello to Shi'an.]

Zhong Cheng lowered his gaze.

After all, the serious injury to Li Gui cannot be exposed. Putting aside the fact that the evil ghost had no language ability, even if it could open its mouth to identify him, Yin Ren was still ready to cry and complain about being wronged.

"...I was thinking about Gao Mengyu." Zhong Cheng said that he seemed to be uncomfortable with this kind of conversation, and he hesitated for a while before answering.

[Fruit Knife: Thank you Brother Liang [poor]]

"Okay, let's go together." Yin Ren readily agreed.

Zhong Cheng said that after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out how a person with amnesia could need face.

Rounding it all off, it means he did nothing.

"Although there is no evidence that her disappearance is related to Xie Chao, it cannot prove 'irrelevance'. I would like to do some more investigation. If you don't..."

So Zhong Cheng said he decided to lighten the atmosphere: "Thank you, you are a very good person."

Yin Ren thought for a moment: "I think so too."

"Look, it was you who brought up the matter during the break, and you were the one who caught the knife-wielding thug. If I were to be lazy at this moment, it would be as useful as a duffel bag."

"We blocked someone who attacked Lin Bei before, and the police believed that we acted bravely, so it probably equaled our merits and demerits." Although they pursued them on their own instead of calling the police, the police also gave the two of them a lesson.

The fruit snack tonight is delicious, and this man is indeed good-looking, Zhong Cheng thought to himself. Apart from the occasional short-circuit in his brain, his partner couldn't find any fault.

"The timing is too coincidental, and judging from Shi'an's reaction, this gap is not normal."

The case was taken over by the regular army, and Liang Shan returned to the police station to work as a civilian. He could only answer their questions with words.

Yin Ren: "..."

Five or six days passed, and Gao Mengyu disappeared without a trace. She probably fell into the kind of gap where she "can't come back" by mistake. Rather than aimlessly searching and rescuing, controlling gaps is the top priority.

[The river flows eastward: I personally suggest that you rest for two days and take the opportunity to recuperate]

The next day, the two went to Fanghua Apartment early.

Unlike yesterday, the entire apartment was evacuated and bright yellow isolation tape was pulled up outside. An official sign was erected at the entrance to the apartment - parts of the building are aging and cracking and require an urgent safety inspection.

Zhong Cheng said that he took back his copy-pasting hand and pushed open the apartment door instead.

Room 1413, Gao Mengyu's residence, was the first place to be investigated. Shi'an's investigation team worked all night, and the 14th floor was the first to be designated as a safe area.

The staff in charge of the 14th floor was a little surprised to see that the two of them were not resting in the hotel.

"Go ahead, I'll give you one hour. The 'Gap' is probably still moving around, so don't stay too long."

She patiently helped the two people put on protective clothing.

They all knew that Gao Mengyu's apartment must have been carefully inspected by experienced hands. The two people's inspection was a bit superfluous. However, the staff member did not mention this, she just smiled gently.

"If you find any clues, remember to report them in time!"

The rancid smell of Room 1413 has long since dissipated. There was no trace of sewage on the ground, no trace of flies flying around, and only warm and tidy furnishings remained in the house. Windows, bedding and other sundries remained as they were, as if their owners were only out temporarily and could return home at any time. Zhong Cheng said standing at the door of the house. He took a deep breath for a while, then walked into the bedroom with his eyes closed and lay down on Gao Mengyu's bed.

Yin Ren: "???"

After all, it's a girl's bed, so that's not good.

And Zhong Cheng's steps were a bit strange - his steps became thin and slow, as if he was possessed by something.

"She woke up in the morning, poured a glass of water, and then opened the bedroom curtains." Zhong Cheng said, opening his eyes naturally and sitting up from the bed. He walked towards the uncurtained window and pulled it open.

His movements were still soft, a little cautious, and had a weird softness to them.

Zhong Cheng said he was imitating Gao Mengyu, and Yin Ren finally came to his senses.

"She finished washing up, ate a few biscuits, and then went to study at the table." Zhong Cheng said as he muttered to himself, his voice slow and serious.

His slender fingers brushed the open biscuit package. After a brief pause, Zhong Cheng sat down in front of the desk.

Opposite the desk is another small window. The window was half open, and the curtains and book pages were swaying slightly in the wind.

"At an unknown time, she went to the refrigerator and began sorting the meat in the freezer."

Zhong Cheng said pushing the chair away and walking towards the refrigerator. Halfway there, his movements suddenly stopped.

Yin Ren was watching with interest: "What?"

"No," Zhong Cheng said, frowning slightly and looking at the window in front of the desk, "Why did she open the window?"

"Ventilation in summer?"

Zhong Cheng said, taking out his mobile phone: "On the day she disappeared, the temperature in Donghe District was 35°C, dry and windless. Opening the window would only make it hotter. Even if she really wanted to open the window to let some air in, she wouldn't open the screen together - not to mention summer. Mosquitoes, she has had cats for many years.”

Yin Ren was silent. These details are indeed subtle, but not so subtle that they are suspiciously subtle. This is the 14th floor. He can just fly. It is impossible for Gao Mengyu to be able to levitate.

While Zhong Cheng said he was looking affectionately into the air, Yin Ren walked around the desk and stuck his head out of the window.

From this angle, you can just see the vestibule and entrance of Fanghua Apartment. The isolation belt kept out the curious passers-by. As soon as he poked his head out, many people looked up at him, and some even raised their mobile phones. Yin Ren was so frightened that he quickly shrank back.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Cheng asked him this time.

"No, there are quite a few people watching the excitement down there."

Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly stood up and leaned on the window sill.

The fourteenth floor is quite high, but if you use the camera function of your mobile phone as an aid, you can barely see the people below. Zhong Cheng said that he quickly turned on the camera function, zoomed in on the screen, and scanned the scattered people downstairs.

"That's right, her mobile phone was placed in the entrance hall at that time. Maybe she saw something from the window and wanted to go out. She couldn't even wait to close the window."

Zhong Cheng said he grabbed his phone and walked to the door, put it on the shoe cabinet and made a gesture of putting on shoes.

"But she suddenly changed her mind and hurried back to the refrigerator and took out all the frozen products she had stored - there were photos of the police scene in the refrigerator, and it was very well-kept. Yin Ren, regardless of the non-scientific possibility, she Maybe checking the inventory."

The things in the refrigerator are seen every day and can be seen at a glance. But considering that she doesn't eat much meat and the freezer isn't often opened, it's not surprising that she needs to take inventory on a temporary basis.

Then in the middle of checking the inventory, she disappeared.

This time, Zhong Chengshuo demonstrated Gao Mengyu's actions smoothly - she first looked out the window, and then rushed to the door. Just when she was about to change her shoes, she seemed to remember something. She even forgot to take her phone and rushed back to the refrigerator.

It's a pity that the action trajectory can be restored, but the motivation cannot. Zhong Cheng said squatting in front of the freezer, poking at the refrigerator door with a deep look on his face.

But there is another entry point into this matter.

"What did I see nearby..." Yin Ren rubbed the wall, "Brother Zhong, can you go out for a while?"

Zhong Cheng said looking at him in confusion.

Yin Ren: "I want to carry out some feudal superstitious activities."

Zhong Cheng said: "..."

"Do you want to see me dance the great dance?"

"Do you remember how to dance the Great God?" Zhong Cheng said in shock.

"No, it's just a metaphor. I just had a spiritual feeling and wanted to meditate here... For meditation, make sure the environment is quiet."

Thanks to the short video platform, he has learned countless fashionable excuses. Sure enough, Zhong Cheng said he didn't ask any more questions, and he left without hesitation, not forgetting to close the door gently before leaving.

How easy to deceive, Yin Ren thought happily.

Then, he stood in the middle of the room.

The entire building is staffed by Shi'an. Not to mention the evil power, he can't even use ordinary evil spirits and spells. But that doesn't mean there's nothing he can do.

Evil things have always been very sensitive to people's emotions, especially negative emotions. As the saying goes, people are not afraid of ghosts, but ghosts are also afraid of people. Strong emotions such as hatred and fear are especially vulnerable to detection by evil things.

Yin Ren closed his eyes and slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

The next moment, with room 1413 as the center, a strong murderous intent suddenly exploded.

That was the majestic murderous aura of the King of Evil, which enveloped the entire youthful apartment. The momentum was like a battlefield with tens of thousands of people in the depth of winter, the thick soil soaked with blood and ice. It is also like a swamp that swallows countless corpses and is filled with cold and sticky evil.

There is no evil spirit at all, just pure killing intent.

After letting the killing intent spread for a few seconds, Yin Ren opened his eyes and looked expectantly at the window—

As long as that evil thing is still there, it will definitely react to this level of "demonstration".

As it turns out, he was only half right.

Guess the correct half. The suspected evil thing did exist. Faced with such a majestic murderous intention, it subconsciously responded with hostility.

As for the half who guessed wrong—

The source of the hostility was not outside the window, but behind him.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Yin is so handsome for three seconds (

Xiao Zhong: Thank you, you are a good person.

Xiao Yin (thinking): Thank you, you too.

Ask the two male guests to exchange good guy cards!
