The Late Night Train

Chapter 345: Looking Back from the Abyss (343) Midnight Terror

Views:

At midnight, everything is silent.

Ignorant people are sleeping soundly in their dreams. The night sky is dark, without the moon or stars.

The buildings on the ground stood silently, and occasionally a few windows were lit, but the faint light was obscured by the chaotic fog that passed through the streets. It seemed that everything was dead, only the silent night fog moved quietly in the darkness, like a terrifying monster, looking for the lone traveler.

A shrill scream pierced the night sky, waking up the people in the hotel.

The lights in the hotel came on, and figures passed by the windows.

Ren Zhifei woke up from his dream. His mind was at a loss and he had no idea what was happening.

The sound of footsteps came from the corridor, and Lao Fang came out of the basement. His face looked much better. He mistakenly said to Ren Zhifei: "Something happened, go and have a look!"

The two of them ran upstairs together, and heard the noise coming from the corridor.

"Xue! Am I okay!" Jiang Cheng's voice sounded.

Chu Xueying's cold voice came, "He doesn't deny snow! He doesn't deny Ying!"

"I can't fault him. He was in a hurry! I'm just fine." Jiang Cheng said in an embarrassed tone.

Chu Xueying snorted coldly and said in a strange tone: "Am I sure I care about Chu Xueying?"

Then, Xu Dingjia's lazy voice came again, "Why are we two quarreling again?"

"It's none of my business!" Chu Xueying's attitude was very bad.

Jiang Cheng smoothed things over and said, "It seems like something happened next door!"

"What!" Xu Dingjia's tone became a little more sober, followed by the sound of footsteps.

"Then what happened?" Xu Dingjia's voice was trembling.

The woman's panicked voice came from Zaifang: "He... he's dead!"

Ren Zhifei and Lao Fang finally arrived upstairs and saw the three people from Jiang Cheng standing at the door of Room 204, their expressions unspeakably frightened.

"What happened?" Lao Fang asked in a deep voice.

Chu Xueying turned her head when she heard the sound, her expression suddenly became wary, and instead asked: "Who am I to deny!"

Ren Zhifei went over and said: "Then deny his master!"

Chu Xueying put her guard down a little, looked outside 204, frowned, and said, "He doesn't know what to say, I'll go see it myself!"

Lao Fang and Ren Zhifei walked to the door. Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia were in shock and did not notice anyone approaching. Ren Zhifei just glanced into the room, his heart was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.

The woman with heavy make-up shivered in the corner, her makeup already blurred by frightened tears. When she saw everyone coming, she felt as if she saw a savior. The big man showed off "help", but he didn't have the courage to cross the room and run out the door.

The outside of the house was in a mess, with a bright red mattress and shapeless pieces of meat lying on it, and a thick dark red liquid was flowing down the foot of the bed to the ground. The rusty smell of liquid stilbene assaulted his nostrils, and Ren Zhifei immediately understood what had happened. The mattress in the guest room was not red at all, and there were more than just pieces of meat on the bed. The drop of a star on the floor clearly explained everything.

Ren Zhifei instantly felt like he was in a state of turmoil. He rushed to the leg washroom without looking back and vomited violently.

Jiang Cheng finally came to his senses, and he and Xu Dingjia helped the woman out of the house.

After leaving that horrific scene, the heavily made-up woman's face regained some vitality, and she screamed at the top of her lungs: "Call the police! Call the police!"

"No need to call the police, they are just the police!" The voice came from behind the people nearby.

The door to room 205 opened, and Feng Ye and Guo An walked out one after another.

When the three people saw the two policemen, they were all stunned. They did not expect to meet the wrong party there. In fact, the murder case of Zhang Li in the lunatic asylum has not been solved, and Jiang Cheng and others have been listed as suspects. Later, thanks to Shao Fang's help, the three were able to avoid the police's sight and act in secret.

After the Liang Fan incident was resolved, the three of them were still unable to explain to the police what happened due to various complicated reasons. Now they are almost on the run, and what they fear most is encountering the police. Unexpectedly, they would meet the police head-on at this time. Jiang Cheng and others felt very embarrassed.

Guo An's original mission was to follow Jiang Cheng and others, but when a crime happened, he immediately classified the three people in front of him as suspects. Guo An walked through the corridor and came to door 204. The scene inside was really shocking. He couldn't help but feel angry. He stared at the three people in front of him with burning eyes and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that we would be so crazy and crazy! He really regrets it. They didn’t arrest us the first time we entered the hotel!”

Xu Dingjia heard this inexplicably and couldn't help shouting: "Why should I confirm that they did it! Shut up and ask for evidence. Do I have evidence!"

"Evidence?" Feng Ye sneered, "If we had destroyed the evidence of the lunatic asylum murder case, they would have arrested me long ago. Now that the case has just happened, do we have the ability to destroy the evidence!"

Chu Xueying sneered and said: "Since we have determined that they are murderers, we might as well come and look for it ourselves and see if we can find any evidence that they committed murder!"

Jiang Cheng watched everything that happened silently, feeling very good in his heart, but he couldn't explain why he didn't come. He frowned in thought, feeling that his mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out clearly. Jiang Cheng's mood gradually became impetuous, but he suddenly felt the coolness of the liquid in his pocket. He couldn't help but stretch his legs to touch, and found out if the coolness was coming from the Qiming Star in his pocket. The coolness passes through the skin, is transmitted to the meridians outside the body, and slowly flows into the Niwan Palace.

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt as if he had drank a glass of ice water on a hot day. His chaotic thoughts gradually subsided, but his heartbeat was a little heavy, as if he was warning himself of the coming danger. When his attention returned to the real world, he saw Guo An standing at the door of 204, watching him while taking out the token and preparing to report to the police station.

After a while, Guo An put Shiwang away from his ear, stared at the screen in confusion, and murmured: "Strange, why is Shiwang no signal?"

"Is there such a thing?" Feng Ye was about to observe the scene. At this time, he turned his head and said, "Is my demonstration a bargain? Let's try his. Huh? Why is there no signal in his demonstration?" "

"No signal to show off?" Jiang Cheng had a premonition of danger and immediately became vigilant, whispering to Xu Dingjia: "Isn't that an ordinary case?"

"The corpse was chopped like that. How can it be considered a perverted murder case? How can it be ordinary!" Xu Dingjia curled his lips and said.

"Idiot! That's not what he meant!" Chu Xueying said disdainfully, "What Jiang Cheng meant? Could it be related to...those people!"

"Those people?" Xu Dingjia's eyes widened. Although the wrong party didn't say it clearly, he already knew that Jiang Cheng was referring to the Gui Xu believers.

Xu Dingjia became cautious in his words and deeds. He lowered his voice and said to Jiang Cheng and Chu Xueying: "If that's true...then the Guixu believers must not have gone far. Moreover, there is a good chance that Keke is hiding among their group!"

"Hiding among them?" Jiang Cheng's heart beat a little faster. He glanced at the people around him calmly, as if he wanted to see through their appearance to hide Dong's true face.
