Chapter 34 4. Dire warning

Luo Qiuqiu ran to the end of the woods in one breath, and looked at the electronic watch on his wrist under the dim streetlight. It was only two minutes away, which was exactly eight o'clock. There is a payphone next to the bus stop at the end of the woods.Fortunately for Luo Qiu, there was no one in front of the crowded payphone during the day.So, he almost sprinted into the phone booth at a speed of 100 meters. 138××××××××, this devilish number seemed to be engraved in Luo Qiu's mind with a knife. He hardly thought about it, and just dialed a series of numbers casually. Just dial the phone.No need to ask, the man has been waiting for his call back.

"Hey, sir, are you looking for me?" Luo Qiu, who wanted to vent a few words to the man, became limp as soon as he got on the phone, and his voice dropped uncontrollably. "Are you Luo Qiuqiu? I'm looking for you! You want to die, don't you? You are so dishonest. I told you very clearly last time that as long as you keep your mouth shut, you can get a rich reward. But you just don't listen!" The other party reprimanded angrily. "I don't understand what you're talking about!" Luo Qiu timidly defended himself, "I never told anyone about that. Besides, I didn't see anything that morning!"

"You lied! You pretended to be a gentleman in front of me, but secretly let that bad girl blackmail us." "what are you talking about?" "Don't pretend to be mean! Let's open the skylight today and tell the truth. You must shut up that bad girl right away, otherwise, you will make us angry. You will have a good time." "I still don't understand what you're talking about." "What? You didn't get someone to blackmail me?" "I put my own head on it." "But how does that bad girl have my cell phone number?"

At this time, Luo Qiuqiu already understood who the bad girl the other party was talking about was.Cao Xiaoyang, who deserved a slap in the face, didn't listen to him, but dragged him into it.Even so, he still didn't want to let the other party know the real details, so he changed the subject: "What did that bad girl tell you?" "What can she say? She said she knew everything about that morning. If we could pay her 200,000 yuan, she wouldn't tell the story. She also said that she would call the police if she didn't pay her within three days. " "How did you answer her?" At this moment, Luo Qiu was overwhelmed by Cao Xiaoyang's boldness, and when he asked these questions, he was as interested as an outsider.

"I told her to wait to die in three days!" Luo Qiu couldn't help shivering.The vicious tone of the other party told him that he and Cao Xiaoyang were not facing one person, but a group of people, and they were a group of real bad guys, a group of bad guys who could do all kinds of bad things.If the other party is just one or two people, they will not be so rampant, let alone "we" in one bite.The matter has come to this point, Luo Qiu has no way out, he can only continue to lie without blushing, otherwise, as long as there is a little flaw, it will be over for him and Cao Xiaoyang.

"You're right! I wonder if she's trying to blackmail her?" "Tell me, do you know that bad girl?" "Of course I don't know him!" "Then how do you know she doesn't have anything against us?" "I—just guessed. I don't know, though. Who knows? Maybe she really saw something!" "By the way, you haven't answered me yet, where did she get my mobile phone number?" The other party pressed on step by step. "You should ask yourself this. I swear to God, sir, I never told anyone your cell phone number." Luo Qiu said firmly.He knew that if he hesitated on this issue, it would inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion.

The tone of the other party softened a little: "I would rather believe your words! However, if you lied to me, I will not forgive you!" "I never lie, sir." Luo Qiu said in a flattering tone.He was amazed at his ability to lie. Before, when he occasionally lied to his parents, he stuttered and blushed, but now he speaks fluently, thinks quickly, and speaks freely.He thought for a while, and then continued, "By the way, sir, the police came again today, and they are still investigating that matter." "Which thing?" "On the morning when the murder happened, did anyone go out through the urinal door in the backyard!"

"How did you answer?" "How can I answer? I didn't see it, I just didn't see it. That's all I can say." "You do seem to be an honest man. That's good, really good! Honesty, that's a virtue. Do you understand?" "I understand, sir." The other party pondered for a moment, and then asked Luo Qiu in a way of discussing the problem: "Where do you think that bad girl can get my mobile phone number? Could it be..." "It's—I can't think of it." "Indeed, if that's the case, because of jealousy between women - it's too complicated, too complicated for you to imagine. How to put it? Maybe another person has this mobile phone number in another place... Okay , since you didn't say the phone number, the misunderstanding between us will be resolved."

"..." Luo Qiuqiu stood there with the microphone in his hand, not knowing how to answer. "I still want to ask you for a favor!" After a while, the other party said again. "What can I do for you?" "If you see someone wearing a long, fine white silk scarf near Merrill Gardens, please find out who that person is and let me know right away." "Ah, is it a white silk scarf? Is it important to you?" "Yes, it's very important! If it doesn't work out, it will kill someone." "Related to that case?" "You ask too many questions. It's none of your business." The other party's tone suddenly became cold, and after saying this, he turned off the phone.No need to ask, he was angry.

Luo Qiu also realized that he asked too many questions.But people are like this sometimes, when they enter a specific context, they find it hard to control themselves, and they have to ask the bottom line. Finally escaped again!Luo Qiuqiu thought with mixed feelings.However, the last few words of the other party made him feel a little relieved.It seems that Cao Xiaoyang did not disclose the fact that he picked up the white silk scarf, otherwise, the other party would not have entrusted him to help find it.This should be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. If those people knew that the white silk scarf was in Cao Xiaoyang's hands, the little fairy's life would be in danger.Fortunately, the woman didn't realize she had lost the silk scarf until now, so she finally gave him and Cao Xiaoyang some time...

After putting down the microphone, Luo Qiu's palms were already damp with sweat.He hated Cao Xiaoyang to the core, if it wasn't for the shift time, he really wanted to find her right away, give her a few hard slaps first, and then throw the white silk scarf into the briquettes stove himself.At this moment, Luo Qiu has firmly believed that he has been deceived, and Cao Xiaoyang must still keep the white silk scarf. After finishing his shift, Luo Qiu went straight to Cao Xiaoyang's house. He came directly by car from Merrill Garden.It cost him exactly thirty dollars.But what can be done?At such a juncture, money is nothing to Luo Qiuqiu.Some things are not clear on the phone, not to mention that this is a matter of life and death, he must explain it to Cao Xiaoyang face to face. Luo Qiu hurriedly climbed up to the sixth floor of Cao Xiaoyang's house one step at a time and two steps at a time.After hastily ringing the doorbell, he thought it would be Cao Xiaoyang who came to open the door, but after waiting for a long time, the voice of Cao Xiaoyang's disabled grandma came out from inside the room. . "Who is it? Is it Yangyang? Where have you gone crazy these days? Are you with Qiu? If you are really with him, I can rest assured. Qiu is a good boy. I can see that he is reliable. ..." Luo Qiuqiu stood outside the door, not only secretly complaining in his heart: Oops, this little girl has never come home.Where will she live on a cold day?In fact, as Cao Xiaoyang's boyfriend, Luo Qiuqiu probably knows a thing or two about her complex social relationships. Luo Qiuqiu didn't know where to look for Cao Xiaoyang, but today he had to find Cao Xiaoyang again, even if she got underground. In order to get some news about Cao Xiaoyang's whereabouts, Luo Qiu had no choice but to stand in the dirty and messy room and listen to the old lady's nagging. "Grandma, do you know where Yangyang has gone?" Luo Qiu took the opportunity to interrupt grandma and asked loudly. "Where did she go? When she went out that afternoon, she told me that she went to your place." This little girl is lying again.Luo Qiu suppressed his anxiety: "Now? Grandma, where do you think Yang Yang is at the moment?" "She is crazy outside and never tells me. Grandma is old." "Grandma, when Yangyang comes back, let her go to my house immediately. If I'm not at home, let her wait for me for a while." Luo Qiuqiu didn't want to waste any more time, he hurriedly cut off the old lady's words, said "goodbye" hastily, and ran downstairs. Luo Qiuqiu stood on the street and looked around blankly, not knowing where to find Cao Xiaoyang.He sat wearily on the stone bench by the roadside, thinking about the man's words in horror: "I told her to die in three days!" But the man didn't seem to know who Cao Xiaoyang was!Could it be that white silk scarf that caused Cao Xiaoyang, who likes to show off, to set his upper body on fire in advance? Indeed, the white silk scarf tied around Cao Xiaoyang's neck is too eye-catching.Such an expensive thing, tied around the neck of a young girl, looks nondescript. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is not from the right way.And when the young woman realized that she had lost her silk scarf, she would definitely look for it.A rich woman like her, of course, would not bother with a silk scarf worth thousands of dollars. The key is that this silk scarf was involved in a murder case—this is exactly where Cao Xiaoyang is in danger.In order not to expose herself, the woman must of course find the silk scarf and the person who picked it up at all costs.Moreover, she will definitely be able to find the silk scarf and Cao Xiaoyang.Even though it was a man who was dealing with Luo Qiu on the phone, he could still sense that it was the woman who was really powerful.In fact, he really didn't meet her eyes, except for the white silk scarf floating behind her, he didn't see her face clearly at all.However, she vigilantly obtained his home phone number in a very short period of time, and asked a man to lure him with money... Since the woman found him so quickly, then she found him wearing a white silk scarf. Cao Xiaoyang, who is flaunting the market, is even more so... Thinking of this, Luo Qiu couldn't help shivering. Although the gate of the Paradise Nightclub is always tightly closed during the day, the anxious Luo Qiu still found it all the way here.He walked around to the backyard and saw the door was ajar, so he stood there and looked into the yard along the crack of the door.At this time, the door of a simple room in the courtyard opened, and a girl came out carrying a basin of laundry.Luo Qiu immediately stepped forward and timidly asked her if she had seen Cao Xiaoyang here. After hearing his words, the girl immediately became extremely nervous.He asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with Cao Xiaoyang? What are you looking for her for?" Luo Qiuqiu knew that Cao Xiaoyang had a complicated relationship here, so he made up a lie and said, "I am a relative of Cao Xiaoyang. Cao Xiaoyang hasn't come home for two days. Her grandma was worried that something might happen to her, so she asked me to help find her." The girl immediately went on to say, "I haven't seen her for a few days. Where will she go? Nothing will happen to her!" Hearing what the girl said, Luo Qiu was so nervous that he could hardly speak: "What happened to...? What will happen to her?" Seeing this, the girl couldn't help laughing: "I'm just talking casually. Don't take it seriously!" After finishing speaking, she left Luo Qiuqiu and left. Luo Qiuqiu stood there blankly, and it took him a long time to regain his composure, and slowly left the back door of Paradise Nightclub.He decided to go home and wait. Maybe Cao Xiaoyang will suddenly appear from somewhere in a while and knock on my door!Luo Qiu comforted himself like this while walking forward. Luo Qiu spent this day waiting.As long as there are footsteps outside the door, he will walk to the door nervously, wanting to open the door impulsively.However, Cao Xiaoyang never showed up. Unable to find Cao Xiaoyang, Luo Qiuqiu was upset enough, but the well-informed Wang Chaoyong brought him a new version about Zhao Yuejing's murder.When he came to take over at night, Wang Chaoyong told him mysteriously again that there were rumors in the society that the murderer who pushed Zhao Yuejing downstairs was a murderous maniac.At first, people thought he was Zhao Yuejing's enemy.After some investigation by the police, it was found that the person who killed Zhao Yuejing had no purpose at all.In fact, he is just a psychopath, like the kind of murderous guy we see in American movies, they kill people just for fun and to embarrass the police.As for who they choose to murder, it could be anyone.Usually, such people have high anti-detection capabilities. They like to commit crimes in a row, and they can leave no clues after committing crimes. Therefore, the city criminal investigation team has nothing to do with them.Otherwise, Zhao Yuejing's case will not have any clues until now? Wang Chaoyong said worryingly: "This kind of psychopath is very cruel. God knows who his next target will be?" The rumor brought by Wang Chaoyong was no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake to Luo Qiu. In front of Wang Chaoyong, he lost his composure, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he kept chanting: How is this possible!How is this possible!Then, as if waking up from a dream, he grabbed Wang Chaoyong's hand and asked, "Do you think the murderer will kill Cao Xiaoyang? It's like killing Zhao Yuejing." Wang Chaoyong couldn't help being surprised when he saw this.He had known for a long time that Luo Qiuqiu had a girlfriend named Cao Xiaoyang, but he didn't know anything about her appearance and temperament.As for the disappearance of the girl named Cao Xiaoyang, Luo Qiuqiu did not reveal the slightest word to Wang Chaoyong.Therefore, Luo Qiu suddenly asked him in such a panic whether his girlfriend Cao Xiaoyang would be killed, which made him a little confused.He first looked at Luo Qiu in amazement, and after watching him for a long time, he saw that he was trembling with fright, and asked inexplicably, "Qiu, what's the matter with you? How did you get so scared? Usually, I know you are timid." , but I didn’t expect you to be so timid. Don’t even think about it. There are so many women in Baiyun, so how could the murderer kill your girlfriend Cao Xiaoyang? It doesn’t make sense! You just need to tell her not to run around at night , don’t go to remote places during the day, I’m sure she’ll be fine.” What Wang Chaoyong said was clear, but it did not convince Luo Qiu at all. He seemed to be frightened and stupid. He didn't listen to a word of Wang Chaoyong's words, and continued to follow his own train of thought: "He will kill Cao Xiaoyang, Cao Xiaoyang will definitely kill him." Has been killed by him. Otherwise, where is she?" Listening to Luo Qiuqiu's nonsense, Wang Chaoyong was dumbfounded.He couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help yelling at Luo Qiu: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about!" Only then did Luo Qiu wake up in a daze.Luo Qiu, who had come to his senses, was afraid that Wang Chaoyong would see his flaws, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm scared to death! I'm scared to death!" Wang Chaoyong took advantage of the situation and pushed him: "You bastard, what a coward!" After saying that, he laughed and left. Luo Qiu slumped on the sofa. After a night of torment, the distraught Luo Qiu called Cao Xiaoyang's house in a phone booth not far from Meilin Garden after the shift was over the next day. The crying voice: "Qiuuu, help me find it. Yangyang has not been seen for several days. Usually, she goes to play with you at night and comes home early in the morning..." Luo Qiuqiu hung up the phone before the grandmother finished nagging.Immediately afterwards, he dialed the contact number left by Ma Sen. Ma Sen received him in the duty room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. "My girlfriend is missing." Luo Qiuqiu said in a crying tone when he saw Ma Sen. Mason comforted him first, and asked him to sit across the desk and speak slowly.Then, I took out my pen and notebook and started taking notes.Mason wrote a few words in the notebook, and then asked, "What's your girlfriend's name?" "Cao Xiaoyang." "How old is this year?" "Eighteen." "Profession?" "She doesn't have a job." "Who's in her family?" "Just a grandma." "Where are her parents?" "Working in the South." "How long has she been missing?" "It's been three or four days." "Are you sure she's missing?" "I have searched all the places she frequents, but there is no sign of her." "Where does she go often?" Luo Qiu hesitated before saying, "She often goes to Paradise Nightclub." "Oh?" Ma Sen looked at Luo Qiu thoughtfully, and didn't speak for a while.As soon as Mason heard the words Paradise Nightclub, he understood that things were not that simple, and he suddenly became vigilant.So, I changed the angle and asked: "Do you know who she often contacts when she goes to Paradise Nightclub?" Cao Xiaoyang's relationship with Yang Tietou is an open secret to Luo Qiuqiu.But out of the boy's vanity, he still said ambiguously: "I don't know." "Your girlfriend," Ma Sen glanced at the transcript in the notebook, "that's Cao Xiaoyang, is there anything unusual about her recently?" "Well...it seems not." Luo Qiuqiu said hesitantly. Mason glared at him, and his tone became severe: "You have to tell the truth. If you have it, you have it, and if you don't, you don't have it. If you hide the truth from us, how can we help you find a girlfriend?" Luo Qiu hesitated for a while and said, "There should be no abnormality!" "What should it mean?" Mason sounded very dissatisfied. "When I broke up with her a few days ago, she was still excited." Luo Qiu explained. "Is she usually excited? If she suddenly becomes excited, this is abnormal." "Ah, under normal circumstances, she looks like this." "Then could it be that she made new friends and went out to play with someone?" Luo Qiu shook his head with certainty: "This is impossible!" "Do you think Cao Xiaoyang is in any danger?" "Hmm! I'm afraid something will happen to her!" This time, Luo Qiu told the truth. "What do you think will happen to her?" Masson pressed. Luo Qiu held back for a long time, Huo Di raised his head, looked at Ma Sen and asked, "Do you think she was killed by someone..." "Has she offended anyone? That is, has she had any enemies?" "Not really." "Then who would kill her for no reason?" "But—" Luo Qiu hesitated to speak.He knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to find Cao Xiaoyang as soon as possible, he had to tell about the white silk scarf he picked up, and once that white silk scarf was involved, he had to tell everything that happened in Meilin Garden, as well as Cao Xiaoyang's blackmail and The warning from the mysterious man... He hesitated.He couldn't say that if he told the whole story, it would be over for him and Cao Xiaoyang.At this moment, he even began to regret that he should not report the crime recklessly. "I hope you tell the truth!" Mason reminded Luo Qiu. "I'm telling the truth. I'm just worried..." Luo Qiu decided to stop there. Mason stared at him meaningfully: "Think about it carefully, have you missed anything?" But Luo Qiu just silently put Cao Xiaoyang's photo on the table, lowered his head, and never spoke again.
