Zhou Ze is afraid of trouble, really afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean that when something really points to him by name, he will foolishly cover his eyes with those two leaves and pretend that he sees nothing.
Seeing Zhou Ze's expression become so serious after Xu Qinglang finished speaking, he was also stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked:
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Ze shook his head, "It's okay."
"Then I'll go up first?"
"Um."
Xu Qinglang went up, looking back every few steps. Instinctively, he felt that something was wrong, but since Zhou Ze was unwilling to share it with him, he did not force it. Everyone has their own little secrets and their own plans.
"Are you serious?"
Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze with a smile on her face.
Zhou Ze was also looking at Tang Shi, shaking off the ashes in his hand, and said:
"Why are you investigating me?"
"I told you, it's because of curiosity." Tang Shi took the initiative to walk to the bar, closing the distance between herself and Zhou Ze. At the same time, her fingertips slid across the bar, "You know, you are different from us, really different."
"You've said this before, because I haven't really experienced hell, but you all have been tortured."
“No, it’s not that simple. That person and I were lucky enough to escape after experiencing the horrors of hell, but you were able to escape just by walking on the Yellow Springs Road.
Do you know,
One thing, one experience,
Enough to completely change a person.
For example, every time that person and I talked about the word "hell", our hearts would subconsciously tremble, because the word "hell" and all the images containing it are great terrors that are imprinted in our hearts.
Even if we all come back to life, our personalities and behaviors will be greatly changed.
You are different. You just went on an outing to hell and came back.
So you can sit at the little table with that policeman and laugh and talk about hell, and have a good time."
"So, what does it mean, and what else did you find out?"
The truck driver who hit and killed himself is dead.
Xu Le's cousin who had helped Xu Le hire someone to kill him was also dead.
Two people died together within a short period of time;
Ordinary people might not connect the deaths of these two people together, but for Zhou Ze, this matter was very unusual.
Xu Le died and gave his body to himself.
The driver died.
My cousin died too.
Everyone who had participated in this incident before is dead.
Is there really such a coincidence
"We are the outliers in this world. We are even different from the ghost messengers. We are stowaways, and you are the outlier among the outliers.
We are different.”
"Let's get to the point." Zhou Ze knocked on the blackboard (bar).
"Have you ever doubted that your death and your rebirth were not an accident?"
Tang Shi lowered his voice and asked slowly,
"Think carefully, are there any details here that you have overlooked before?"
… …
"They came after me, they found me..."
The old man's nails pierced into his arm, and his final smile of relief.
My car just drove out of the traffic light.
A large truck ran a red light and drove out.
Rushing straight towards him.
The crematorium's flames and blazing heat;
The numbness and desolation on the road to hell.
The roar and unwillingness of the faceless woman,
The black nails growing from my fingertips.
I was staggering on the roadside in a daze,
A man in a sweatshirt ran out of the bookstore.
He beat Xu Le to death with a baseball bat.
Then he entered Xu Le's body.
… …
Zhou Ze slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.
The man who killed Xu Le,
What happened to him after he called the police
Zhou Ze has always ignored this matter.
He kept going back and forth on the matters of the bookstore and Dr. Lin. As for Xu Le's death and his own "occupation of someone else's nest", he understood it more as a kind of karma.
In another sense, God has eyes.
But since the old man who was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment had deliberately pierced his arm with his nails,
The truck driver who ran a red light and killed me did it on purpose.
So many people did it on purpose.
So,
The man who had previously explained that he had killed Xu Le with a baseball bat in a fit of rage while trying to steal some money,
Does he,
Maybe it was intentional
If he did it on purpose,
It means from one's own death to one's own life.
This line,
Everything is considered to be designed, and I am like a toy car on a toy racing track. It looks like it is speeding, but in fact it is just following the predetermined track.
"It seems that you have thought of something."
Tang Shi put another piece of White Rabbit milk candy into her mouth.
Zhou Ze picked up the phone and prepared to call the police station. Last time he reported a case, he also went to the police station to make a statement. His first meeting with Dr. Lin was also at the police station.
The female police officer led Dr. Lin to her and said, "Your wife is here to take you away."
Zhou Ze was in a daze for quite a while.
However, before making the call, Zhou Ze looked at Tang Shi and asked:
"How did you find out?"
"You know, compared to us,
It's like being in a wolf's den.
A cute husky sneaked in. "
… … …
The rain is still falling and there is no sign of stopping. Tongcheng is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, so there is naturally plenty of rain in this season.
There are no earthquakes or tsunamis here. The only thing that happens frequently and may cause some impact is flooding.
Wearing a raincoat, Zhou Ze walked downstairs of an old apartment building. The trash cans had been soaked by rain and some garbage had drifted out.
Tang Shi was wearing rain boots and a black raincoat, and her legs were faintly visible in the rain. However, Zhou Ze naturally didn't have the leisure time to appreciate this scenery.
I called to check the situation before, and found out that the person I sent to the police station was only detained for half a month, and the charge was just violating public security laws. After all, although he went to Zhou Ze's store to "commit a crime", he was eventually knocked down by Zhou Ze, so it would be difficult to charge him with a serious crime.
And Zhou Ze couldn't possibly say:
Police uncle,
He is a murderer.
He killed me.
And I am not me,
I am a resurrection from the dead!!!
If so,
I guess he didn't go in at that time.
Instead, I was forced to be sent to a mental hospital.
However, Zhou Ze still found the man's address from there, which was in this area.
“This is it.”
After going up to the second floor, Zhou Ze stopped in front of a door.
Most of the residential areas here are rented to migrant workers who come to Tongcheng to work. The environment and facilities are actually very poor, and they still use public toilets.
"Are you sure?" Tang Shi asked.
"The house number should be correct."
Zhou Ze tried to look towards the window, but there was a screen and tattered curtains blocking the view, so he couldn't see clearly inside from the outside.
"I'll find something to pry the door open..."
"Click..."
The door lock opens automatically.
Tang Shi made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.
Smiled,
Walked in.
I thought it would be a shame not to go thief with you.
The house is actually a suite.
A room,
There is a bed and a wardrobe, as well as a small stove with an induction cooker.
The house was tidy enough, but some places were covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
"How long has he been out?"
"It's been several months. I sent him to the police station the day after I was reborn. He was released half a month later."
Zhou Ze looked around, checking the details here.
"Did he move?" Tang Shi said.
Zhou Ze shook his head, "Not sure."
The guy who beat Xu Le to death with a baseball bat,
Missing
Zhou Ze suddenly noticed that there was something different about an area on the wall behind the bed. He stepped onto the bed, reached out and touched that area of the wall, then said:
“This wall looks like it was painted later.”
"Is there something hidden inside?" Tang Shi asked.
Zhou Ze put his ear close to the wall and knocked on it with his hand. "It doesn't look like it's hollow."
In fact, it is very common to have hollow walls in this type of house. Generally, when decorating a new apartment, the decoration team will first send an old master to knock on the walls and floor with a ruler. If any problems are found, they will ask the developer to make corrections before proceeding with the decoration work.
"Just open it and take a look." Tang Shi said.
Zhou Ze nodded and was about to say that he would go find the tools, then he glanced at Tang Shi and consciously took a few steps back.
Tang Shi looked at the kitchen knife and other hard objects next to the induction cooker, and then these objects flew out, hitting and drilling the wall repeatedly.
The idea of opening a construction company once again came to Zhou Ze's mind.
Bai Yingying alone is as much labor as an entire construction team.
Tang poetry is worth a batch of engineering machinery.
All I have to do is sit there and count the money.
However, as the wall continued to crack, Zhou Ze immediately discarded the random thoughts in his mind.
"Bang!"
A piece of the wall broke and fell.
A human face was revealed.
The face still maintained a horrified expression, as if perfectly continuing the emotional state before death.
It's that person.
He was the one who beat Xu Le to death with a baseball bat!
In the air,
There was a sour smell in the air.
Zhou Ze reached out and checked the body inside, frowned, and said:
"The body looked like it had been dead for less than a week."
"You don't look like a forensic doctor." Tang Shi reminded.
"This is common sense for surgeons. The time of death can be roughly determined based on the degree of postmortem of the body." Zhou Ze explained.
"Then I can tell you that the wall I just knocked on definitely wasn't sealed up for less than a week. It's been there for at least three months."
Tang Shi peeled off a piece of candy, put it in his mouth, and continued:
"Unless you think he was killed a week ago and then moved into the wall that was sealed three months ago."
Zhou Ze immediately realized that something was wrong.
It is obvious that the corpse could not have been "teleported" into the wall later, and the wall was well preserved before Tang Shi was excavated.
Sniffed,
That sour taste,
I just thought it was the smell of a dead body.
At this time,
Zhou Ze suddenly realized something and pulled apart the hair on the corpse's head.
really,
A small hole was found, which is the injection hole.
“Yes, the body had been dead for a long time, but he had been injected with formalin, so the body was preserved so well.
in addition,
Formalin should have been slowly injected into him before he died.
Because if it is diffused throughout the body with the help of blood circulation, the effect will be better. "
