Chapter 21 Chapter 18 The Yorkshire Butcher

For a whole day, Fang Mu just lay on the bed, neither eating nor drinking, not speaking, staring at the ceiling, ignoring anyone.Although Du Yu has become accustomed to his virtues, he also faintly feels that this time, he is a little different. When Tai Wei opened the door and came in, Du Yu was trying to persuade Fang Mu to eat the dinner he bought for him.Tai Wei saw that the already cold lunch was still on the table. In just one day, Fang Mu lost a lot of weight, his chin became sharper, and those two eyes staring at the ceiling became surprisingly large. Tai Wei sat by Fang Mu's bed, stared at Fang Mu for a few seconds, "Hunger strike?" Fang Mu didn't respond, his eyes didn't move.

Tai Wei laughed "hehe", he took the rice bowl and sniffed it vigorously. "Hey, it's very rich, look at how thoughtful your buddy is for you! Hurry up and eat." Fang Mu lowered his eyes, said softly: "Thank you." He turned his head to the side of the bed.Du Yu shrugged helplessly at Tai Wei, and Tai Wei smiled and waved his hands to express that he didn't mind.The three of them sat in silence for a while, then Du Yu picked up his schoolbag and water glass, made a gesture of "I'm going out" to Tai Wei, and walked away lightly. Only Fang Mu and Tai Wei were left in the dormitory.Tai Wei looked at Fang Mu who was still lying motionless with his face facing the wall, sighed, took out his cigarette and smoked dully.

After smoking a cigarette, seeing that Fang Mu still didn't respond to him, Tai Wei said, "Dude, I understand your mood very well. Don't say it's you, I'm a policeman. If there is such an opponent, I will You will feel scared as well. But fear is fear. Hiding in the dormitory every day is not a solution. If he wants to kill you, he will do it sooner or later. No matter how you escape, he will come to your door. So the best way is to do it first Be strong, get him out first!" Fang Mu sat up abruptly, "Can you shut up and stop nagging like an old lady!" Tai Wei tried his best to suppress the fire, "I understand your current mood..."

"You understand what a fart!" Fang Mu said rudely, "I am not afraid, even if he is hiding under the bed now, holding a knife, I am not afraid. This is not the first time I have faced someone who wanted my life, and It won't be the last time!" His voice choked up suddenly, "Why do you want to kill so many people! Want to kill me? Come on, come and kill me directly! Why do you want to take so many people for nothing?" He violently pushed all the books on the shelf to the ground, and then collapsed. Tai Wei looked at the books scattered on the floor, and then at the frail young man in front of him.He finally knew the real reason that made Fang Mu feel so miserable, and he couldn't help feeling a little respect for this stubborn guy.

Love and responsibility are the most precious emotions of human beings. He bent down, picked up the books slowly, wiped off the dust, and arranged them one by one on the bookshelf.After finishing all this, Tai Wei sat by the bed, stared at Fang Mu and said, "Boy, get up and eat!" Tai Wei's tone was tough and resolute, and the consoling attitude just now was gone. Fang Mu noticed this and opened his eyes. Like handing over a pistol to a partner who shares life and death, Tai Wei thrust the spoon into Fang Mu's hand with all his strength. "Man, we gotta get on with it. I don't know how many more victims are coming, but we gotta stop him before he kills as many people as possible. Don't think about the people who are already dead. Dead is dead Now, none of them will be brought back to life because of your guilt. This is your destiny, Fang Mu. With more talent than others, there is greater responsibility than others. It is useless to escape, catch the murderer , is the best comfort for these dead. Before that, "he pushed the rice bowl in front of Fang Mu, "you must at least make sure that you don't starve to death!"

Fang Mu looked at the steaming rice bowl in front of him, and then at Tai Wei with a serious expression. The two of them stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, Fang Mu finally took the rice bowl and began to eat with big mouthfuls. After eating, Fang Mu jumped out of bed and did a few chest expansion exercises. He felt the stuffiness in his chest come out with his breath, and he felt much refreshed. Fang Mu briefly talked about his thoughts to Tai Wei—even though he was tormented by guilt and anger for a whole day and night in bed, Fang Mu's mind was still spinning nervously around the case.In his opinion, the reason why the murderer pointed the finger at him must be related to the cases he participated in.

"About numbers, I think they should have special meaning." "Oh? What do you mean?" Tai Wei regained his energy. "I don't know if you have noticed, so far, there have been 5 murders, but there are 6 victims." Fang Mu wrenched his fingers, "The digital code left by the murderer at the scene is based on the They are arranged in order from 1 to 5. When I first noticed this, I thought it was very strange, because if the number matches the number of the dead, it can express an attitude of showing off or provocation. And if it matches the number of crimes committed, what does this mean? ? This shows that what the murderer cares about is not the number of victims, but the number of crimes committed, or the number of imitators. Therefore, this number should be a fixed number, or the murderer has already considered the number of people to imitate Because," Fang Mu paused, "if it's an exam, the exam will always end. At that time, you can check whether I have passed the exam or not." After speaking, he looked at Tai Wei calmly, smiled.

Tai Wei saw the smile on Fang Mu's mouth, but felt a bone-chilling cold. Since he was a child, Tai Wei has also experienced various exams, but he has never felt this kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.It's like putting a test paper in front of you and asking you to judge right or wrong with a pen dipped in blood.The judgment is right, the exam is over, and everyone is happy.If the judgment is wrong, another person (or more than one person) will disappear in this world. Before they realized that this was an exam, the first five questions were permanently and irrevocably marked with a bloody X.

"So, what is the number?" "7, 9, 11." Fang Mu pondered for a while, "It should be an odd number. But 11 is unlikely, because the crime cycle would be too long. He should be eager to compete with me, and he can't wait too long. Time. 7." He nodded thoughtfully, "7 is more likely." "Why 7?" "I'm a psychological portraitist. Maybe he wants to have a psychological contest with me. In psychology, 7 is considered a magic number." "magic?" "Yes. In general, people's memory range for numbers is mostly between the first two digits and the last two digits of 7. That is to say, between the 5th and 9th digits. If it exceeds 9 digits, most people will remember Digital memory is fuzzy. So when most people memorize some relatively long numbers, they tend to memorize them in segments. For example, pi. In addition, many wonderful things in human history are related to 7, for example, there are 7 days in a week , There are 7 sounds of music, 7 colors, seven deadly sins, the seventh..." Fang Mu's words suddenly stopped, and his expression became very bad.

"Seventh what?" "Oh, it's nothing." Fang Mu's face quickly returned to normal. Tai Wei lowered his head, as if thinking about something, after a while, he tentatively asked: "Fang Mu, will you be the seventh?" Fang Mu stared at Tai Wei for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "I don't know. If I am part of this exam, then I will be the last one. If I am not part of this exam, then I will be the one after the exam is over." The next one. Anyway, I can't escape." Looking at the calm Fang Mu, Tai Wei didn't know what to say for a while.Talking face-to-face with another person about how many times you will be the first to die is like discussing such innocuous topics as the weather and football.This is ridiculous.

Tai Wei touched the pistol in his waist, and said slowly: "I won't let you have any accident." Fang Mu still smiled indifferently: "I hope so. But like you said, this is my life. If I really want to die, I can't hide." He stood up and walked to the window. Through the frosted glass, he could vaguely see the street lights downstairs and the loudly talking and laughing students passing by from time to time. "Death." Fang Mu said softly, "Actually, God has already taken good care of me." The blurred light coming in from the window coated Fangmu's silhouette with a thin layer of gold.Tai Wei stood up and stood side by side with Fang Mu in front of the window. "If you guessed correctly, there are two more." Tai Wei said slowly, looking at the still noisy campus in the night. After a long time, Fang Mu said softly as if talking to himself: "There are two more." The weather is getting cooler.Girls also have to give up the fashionable clothes that show their graceful figures and wear heavy clothes.The campus lacks the colorful colors that last for a summer, and there is more desolation and loneliness in the calmness.Every moment, there will be a large piece of fallen leaves slowly falling with the tight autumn wind, stepping on it, there seems to be a slight "click" sound unwilling to reconcile.It snowed lightly yesterday.With the mud all over the ground and the slowly rotting autumn leaves, it seemed that overnight, the once vibrant campus suddenly revealed a breath of death. What really makes people feel heavy is not the desolate autumn scenery, but the dignified policemen who pass by the campus from time to time. It has been more than a week since the task force officially entered the campus.In teaching buildings, cafeterias, dormitory buildings, and libraries, you can see policemen in uniform or plain clothes everywhere.This makes every college student who is accustomed to being free and undisciplined feel very uncomfortable, and the feeling of disgust slowly grows.Almost every day, disputes between students and the police are reported to the school security office.The two vice-principals who were in charge of student work and logistics were extremely busy every day. While praying in their hearts that no one would die again, they hoped that the police would catch the murderer soon. Compared with the resistance and indifference of other students, Fang Mu is the person who cares most about the progress of the investigation in this school.According to Tai Wei's proposition, the connection between the case and Fang Mu will not be announced for the time being, and all investigations with Fang Mu as the background are conducted in secret.This also allows Fang Mu to continue to pursue the clues of "6" without being disturbed. Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, Tai Wei will follow Fang Mu almost every day in case of accidents. Another busy afternoon.Fang Mu was in the reference room, concentrating on a thick book in front of him, while Tai Wei was lying on the table next to him and sleeping soundly, with a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth. There are quite a few people in the reference room. It is almost the end of the period, and everyone is busy writing papers, and there is an endless stream of people looking for materials.Tai Wei's indecent sleeping posture caused many people to look sideways, and the administrator, Mr. Sun, even looked worriedly at the brand-new "200 Years of Western Crime (1800-1993)" under Tai Wei's face from time to time. Fang Mu rubbed his temples wearily, and turned the book in his hand to the next page. While reading a paragraph, his breathing suddenly became short of breath.He read it twice quickly without taking his eyes off it, his face flushed with excitement.Then, he walked around the table in one step, ran to Tai Wei, and gave him a hard push. "Hey, look." Tai Wei jumped up all of a sudden, he didn't care to wipe off the saliva from his mouth, and stretched his hands to his waist: "What's wrong?" Everyone in the reference room was startled by his yell, and a boy who was stepping on a ladder to get a book from the top shelf was even more frightened and fell down. Fang Mu ignored the dissatisfied eyes around him, but smiled apologetically at the astonished Teacher Sun, and couldn't wait to spread the book in front of Tai Wei.Tai Wei put on the holster of his gun, and looked down with eyebrows in embarrassment.With just one glance, his brow furrowed. After seeing it, he reached out his hand to take out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Fang Mu hurriedly pulled him into the corridor. The two smoked silently in the stairwell. After smoking most of them, Tai Wei looked at Fang Mu and asked: "Yorkshire butcher? Do you think the murderer will imitate him in the next case?" "I think it's possible." Fang Mu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it slowly with his feet, "You also watched that paragraph just now. The clue of the five pounds matches him very well." Tai Wei nodded, slowly recalling the information he had read just now. Peter Sutcliffe, a British national who killed 13 women between 1975 and 1980, was dubbed the "Butcher of Yorkshire".The method of killing is characterized by first hitting the victim's head with a hammer, and then stabbing the victim's chest and abdomen with a screwdriver.After committing a crime, he also liked to stuff a £5 note in the dead body's hand. "So the next victim is a woman?" "If he really wants to imitate the Yorkshire butcher, he must kill a woman." Fang Mu looked at the other end of the corridor, where a group of female students came out of the yoga training room chirping. "Damn." Tai Wei threw the cigarette butt on the ground viciously, "I'll go back first and gather people to take some targeted measures. How many girls are there in your school?" "About four thousand people." "damn it!" That afternoon, attentive students discovered that there were some strange people and strange things on campus.All female dormitory buildings have added female dormitory administrators, and a dormitory on the sixth floor has been specially set aside as the administrator's lounge.The No. 6 locker in the women's bathhouse and women's locker room in the gymnasium is locked and no one is allowed to use it.On the sixth floor of the teaching building, in classroom No. 6, and near the women's bathroom, there are often people who are smartly dressed and have bulging waists wandering back and forth.All tools in the logistics department (especially hammers and screwdrivers) are registered one by one, and the staff need to fill out the registration form for use. One Wednesday afternoon, Fang Mu was strolling alone in the campus, walked near the gymnasium, glanced behind him, and really saw Tai Wei wandering not far away, he couldn't help but sighed. A student and a policeman are inseparable all day long, which has already made many people suspicious, so Fang Mu suggested that Tai Wei pay more attention to the security work on the campus, and there is no need to follow him all day. "I'm the last one, he won't attack me now." Tai Wei apparently agreed, but he could always see this guy near him. Several student cadres from the student union were putting up posters on the bulletin board outside the gymnasium, and Liu Jianjun was also there.The poster was very large, a basketball player was holding the ball for a layup, Fang Mu recognized that it was Su Jun, a famous basketball player in the province.The aluminum alloy frame of the bulletin board is a bit raised, and the poster cannot be pasted on the bulletin board smoothly.A student cadre stepped on a ladder, picked up a hammer and knocked on it. A plainclothes policeman watched coldly from below, and suddenly said, "Where's your registration form?" The student cadre who was smashing vigorously glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "No." Liu Jianjun, who was carrying the poster, hurriedly explained: "It's not from the logistics department, it's from our dormitory." When the plainclothes policeman heard this, he went up and tugged on the student cadre's trousers, "Come down. Take out your student ID card!" "No!" The student cadre shook his leg and shook off the plainclothes policeman's hand. The plainclothes policeman grimaced and kicked the ladder. "Come down!" The student cadre staggered, almost fell off, and got angry. "You want to throw me to death!" He pointed the hammer at the face of the plainclothes policeman. "If you can't catch the murderer, you will show your prestige to the students! If you want to solve the case quickly, why does the country support you bastards!" The plainclothes policeman's face turned livid, and he stretched out his hand to pull the student cadre down. Fang Mu hurried forward to smooth things over, and before he could speak, Tai Wei, who ran over quickly, grabbed the policeman who rolled up his arms and sleeves. "What's going on? Where's your student ID card?" Tai Wei asked loudly. The student cadre was also a little scared, and whispered, "I didn't bring it." Liu Jianjun quickly said, "He is from the Department of Chemistry, and his name is Qin Dahai. I can prove it." "and who are you?" "I'm from the law school, and my name is Liu Jianjun." He pointed at Fang Mu, "He can prove it." Fang Mu nodded quickly.Tai Wei glanced at Fang Mu, "Whose hammer is it?" "Our dormitory." Tai Wei took the hammer, weighed it in his hand, and handed it back. "Keep it safe. Don't borrow it, and don't lose it. I hope you will support our work." Liu Jianjun quickly nodded in agreement, and pulled the student cadre hard, and he whispered reluctantly: "Yes." Tai Wei patted the plainclothes policeman whose face was still livid: "Okay, go get busy." "These little bastards protect you from morning to night, and you are still fucking..." the plainclothes policeman muttered with lingering anger. "Okay!" Tai Wei interrupted him loudly, "Go on patrol." "Yes!" The plainclothes policeman glared at the student leader, turned and left. Watching him walk away, Tai Wei sighed, "Don't blame them either. I've been on duty day and night during this time, so I'm exhausted, and my temper will inevitably be a little irritable." Fang Mu smiled, expressing his understanding.Looking back, I saw Liu Jianjun and those student cadres standing awkwardly, and hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "What are you up to, what's going on?" Liu Jianjun also showed a smiling face, "Tomorrow night, the provincial basketball team will play a friendly match with our school team." He pointed to the poster, "The Soviet army is also coming. He is an active member of the national team." "Hey! It's great." Fang Mu couldn't help being a little envious. Turning to look at Tai Wei, this guy frowned tightly.Fang Mu thought the same thing, the security work of this kind of large-scale cultural and sports activities is the most difficult.There are many audiences and complex personnel, and the scene is difficult to control. Maybe the murderer will take the opportunity to attack. "Come and cheer for me when the time comes!" Liu Jianjun didn't think about this, and invited Fang Mu enthusiastically. Tai Wei had already left. Fang Mu only had time to say "I will be there" to Liu Jianjun before turning around and chasing Tai Wei. "Damn it, why didn't the school notify you in advance about such a big event." Tai Wei could see that he was in a bad mood, so he waved at Fang Mu, "You go back first, I'll arrange the security work. Oh, pay attention Safety." Fang Mu nodded helplessly, "Okay." The next night, the basketball game was held as scheduled in the school gymnasium.Although the competition officially started at 19:30, the gymnasium was already full of students before 6:00, and even the aisles were packed. Zou Tuanjie and a group of die-hard fans had rushed to the stadium early to occupy seats, and two of them were reserved for Du Yu and Fang Mu.So, they didn't walk slowly towards the stadium until almost 19:00.As soon as he walked up the steps, he saw Deng Linyue and a group of girls chattering over, and a teacher shouted impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up! Why are you here? Hurry up and change your clothes." "Cheerleaders." Du Yu stared at the group of gorgeous girls, and said with a smile, "Hehe, there are beauties cheering, this kid Liu Jianjun will definitely show off." After passing through the impenetrable crowd and stepping on the feet of countless people, Fang Mu and Du Yu finally sat down in their seats.Before I could catch my breath, I heard applause in the gymnasium, mixed with bursts of excited whistles, followed by deafening music.Fang Mu looked up, and saw a group of "frugally dressed" girls jumping to the center of the field, led by Deng Linyue. A few minutes later, the cheerleaders dance performance ended.Then, the game started. Needless to say, even if the players of the provincial basketball team were only playing with a practice attitude, the situation was overwhelming.In front of professional players with an average height of 1.93 meters, the students who are almost a head short appear clumsy and timid.After the first quarter, the provincial basketball team led 35:6. After the start of the second quarter, the provincial basketball team began to relax, and the school team's offense began to pick up a bit. Liu Jianjun, who is a forward, was particularly brave.Fang Mu noticed that every time Liu Jianjun scored, he would beat his left chest fiercely at the cheerleaders who were waving bouquets and cheering loudly.Looking carefully, there is a distinctive capital "D" on the left chest of Liu Jianjun's competition uniform, which looks as if it was drawn with a signature pen. D—Deng, hehe, this kid.Fang Mu smiled slightly. During the intermission, the provincial basketball team still maintained a big lead.The students don't seem to care about winning or losing the game, the most important thing is to see their favorite stars.To their excitement, dunk performances were interspersed during the break, and of course the performers were mainly members of the provincial basketball team.However, what made the students of J University feel honored was that a member of the J University team also participated in the performance, that is Liu Jianjun, who is 1.86 meters tall and has amazing jumping ability. Liu Jianjun dunked a total of three times, one of which failed, and the other two were very exciting.Every time he succeeded, he would punch his left chest in the direction of the cheerleaders and roar.The cheerleaders also responded with screams. From time to time, some cheerleaders elbowed Deng Linyue and gave envious eyes and smiles.Deng Linyue's reaction was relatively flat, and she didn't act overly happy, but her eyes never left Liu Jianjun. The second half of the game has begun.Maybe Liu Jianjun was too active in the first half. At the beginning of the third quarter, he seemed a bit exhausted, so the coach replaced him for a rest.When Liu Jianjun left the field, he didn't go back to the bench directly, but went to the cheerleaders and said something to Deng Linyue. Deng Linyue looked a little surprised, but she still nodded with a blushing face. Du Yu saw it, curled his lips and said to Fang Mu: "Now you have no hope at all. This kid really stole the limelight today." Fang Mu laughed and scolded: "You bastard, there is nothing to be seen at all, what are you talking about all day long! Let me go." He stood up. "Why go?" "Go to the toilet, why don't you find a place where no one is there to cry over my broken love?" Compared with the hustle and bustle in the competition hall, the corridor seemed deserted.Fang Mu hurried to the toilet, thinking about going back to enjoy the game early.At the corner, I almost ran into two heavily armed policemen.Looking at them with serious expressions, Fang Mu's heart suddenly sank. Reluctantly, he told himself: It was far from being able to completely relax, and the murderer was still by his side. For a moment, everything in the gym seemed to have nothing to do with him.Fang Mu even forgot that he was going to the bathroom. He stood there, staring blankly at the backs of the two policemen until they disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Turning his head and looking out the window, it was pitch black outside, but he could still see a police car parked outside the museum, its red and blue police lights flashing silently. Fang Mu slowly returned to his seat and sat down as if in a daze, but he could no longer concentrate on the game.He searched the side of the field and the stands, and he saw plainclothes policemen with vigilant eyes.They seem to be carelessly cruising among the crowd, but they are always like arrows on a bowstring, which can be shot at any time if something unexpected happens.Turning around, as expected, Tai Wei was in the stands behind him, and he waved his hand gently at him. Fang Mu turned his head expressionlessly, for some reason, his mood suddenly became depressed. At the end of the game, Liu Jianjun and Su Jun were named the MVP of the game together.Holding the trophy in his hand, Liu Jianjun waved to the audience with a red face.Next, the players from both sides took photos with each other, and the flash lights flickered in the field from time to time. The audience has already started to leave the stadium, and only a small number of die-hard fans stayed and waited for Su Jun's signature, including Du Yu.Fang Mu wanted to leave the gymnasium early, greeted Du Yu and left. The air outside the gymnasium was very cold, Fang Mu couldn't help shivering just after he came out of the heated gymnasium.Then, he saw Tai Wei standing with his hands behind his back outside the museum. Tai Wei also saw him and waved him over. "Do you have any cigarettes? Give him one too." Tai Wei pointed to a plainclothes policeman beside him. Fang Mu took out two cigarettes, handed them to them, and lit one himself. Both Tai Wei and the policeman puffed on their cigarettes and did not speak. When most of the cigarettes were finished, Tai Wei said: "Damn, I'm so suffocated. Neither of us has any cigarettes. This meeting has just ended, so I dare not go to buy it." .” Tai Wei pointed to the crowd. Fang Mu thought for a while, and handed over half a pack of cigarettes in his hand.Tai Wei took it over without hesitation. "What are you going to do?" "Go back to the bedroom." "one person?" "Well, alone." Tai Wei thought for a while, "Don't go back, follow me. After a while, I'll take you back." Just as Fang Mu wanted to refuse, Tai Wei waved his hand irrefutably, meaning "That's it." After the crowd dispersed, Fang Mu followed Tai Wei around the campus again, focusing on patrolling a few girls' dormitories and places where lovers often date.When patrolling those places, Fang Mu felt extremely embarrassed and felt like a voyeur.Tai Wei yawned and said that when he sent Fang Mu back, almost an hour had passed. The two chatted and walked, and when they passed the gymnasium, Fang Mu glanced at him inadvertently, and stopped immediately. "look!" Tai Wei looked in the direction of his finger, and faintly saw a glimmer of light shining through the blue glass windows of the gymnasium. "It seems to be in the basketball hall." Tai Wei looked at his watch, "It should have been cleared long ago, why are there still people?" The two looked at each other, and ran towards the stadium at the same time. While wiping her wet hair, Deng Linyue stared at the "9" on the locker in a daze. Just now Liu Jianjun told her that he wanted her to wait for him in the gymnasium after the game, alone. What's the matter?Deng Linyue felt a little nervous. To be honest, Deng Linyue has a little liking for Liu Jianjun, but it can't be said how much she likes it.Many people misunderstand that she is Liu Jianjun's girlfriend, but Liu Jianjun has never confessed to himself so far. Maybe, tonight, he was going to say those three words to himself. Outside the locker room, the teacher leading the team was collecting the keys to the locker box. "No. 3, No. 4... No. 8, No. 10, No. 11... No. 9? Who got No. 9?" "Deng Linyue." A voice replied, and then there was a knock on the door. "Linyue, haven't you finished washing?" "I'll wait a little longer, you go first." Deng Linyue shouted towards the door. "It's really slow, you can hand over the key to the student union tomorrow." Afterwards, the girls were heard chattering away from the locker room. Deng Linyue dressed neatly, locked the locker, and put the key card on her wrist.At this time, the phone jingled, and it was a text message from Liu Jianjun: "I'm waiting for you in the basketball hall." There was no one in the basketball hall, and the huge court seemed extremely empty.Deng Linyue looked around the stands, but did not see Liu Jianjun's shadow. Where is this guy?Deng Linyue was muttering in her heart, while walking towards the center of the basketball court. Suddenly, a rhythmic "bang bang" sounded in the empty gymnasium. Deng Linyue was taken aback. Looking for the reputation, she saw a basketball bouncing and rolling down from the stands.The ball rolled to Deng Linyue's feet. She stepped on the ball and held it up to see it was a brand new "Spalding" basketball. The names of Deng Linyue and Liu Jianjun were printed on the eight pieces of the ball facing each other. It was golden and beautiful. . Deng Linyue smiled, this guy is quite thoughtful. At this time, Qi Qin's "The Moon Represents My Heart" sounded in the gymnasium.In the empty gymnasium, Qi Qin's magnetic voice echoed: "You asked me how deeply I love you, how much I love you, my love is true, my love is deep, and the moon represents my heart..." Deng Linyue looked up at the broadcasting room at the top of the stand, where the lights were on, and she could see a person waving to her.It's Liu Jianjun. After playing the song, after a few seconds of silence, I heard Liu Jianjun's voice echoing in the gymnasium: "Lin Yue, today is a very special day for me. Not only because I am competing with my idol, but more importantly, today, I want to express my heart to the girl I love most ..." The pleasant voice was amplified by the loudspeaker, and it had a magical power that was breathtaking. Looking at the blurred figure, Deng Linyue felt that her whole body and mind were being filled with happiness little by little. Which girl is not vain, which girl does not want her boyfriend to be handsome and tall, which girl can resist this romantic offensive? "Lin Yue, I..." Suddenly, there was a "pop" in the entire gymnasium, and Liu Jianjun's affectionate voice stopped abruptly. Suddenly plunged into darkness, Deng Linyue was stunned.After standing at a loss for a few seconds, she shouted tremblingly: "Liu Jianjun..." The radio room was also pitch black, and there was no sound to respond. Deng Linyue yelled a few more times. In the empty gymnasium, her voice was bumped against the walls, and it was terribly loud. "Don't scare me, I'm angry!" Deng Linyue felt like she was about to cry. Suddenly, a spotlight was turned on, and a pale beam of light shot down from the ceiling, covering Deng Linyue's body. Deng Linyue was dazzled by the glare of the light. She covered her forehead with her hand and stared at the direction of the spotlight. Faintly, she felt someone walking down from the stands.Yes, I could hear footsteps slowly descending the steps. "Is that you, Liu Jianjun?" The person who came did not answer, but still walked down unhurriedly. His whole body was shrouded in the spotlight behind him. Deng Linyue couldn't see his face clearly, but felt that it was a man. As he approached step by step, Deng Linyue was finally sure that it was not Liu Jianjun, because he was half a head shorter than Liu Jianjun. "You... who are you?" Deng Linyue wanted to run, but her legs were limp and she had no strength at all. This person finally walked into the basketball court. Deng Linyue vaguely saw him wearing a long black trench coat and seemed to be carrying something in his hand. 7 meters, 6 meters, 4 meters... The stranger was getting closer and closer to her, and Deng Linyue backed away trembling all over. Finally saw his face clearly. The hood of the black windbreaker covered the upper part of his face, and the nose was also tightly blocked by a mask.The mouth under the mask moved, but it wasn't talking, it looked like it was smiling! Deng Linyue finally broke down. She yelled, threw the basketball in her hand at the opponent, turned around and fled. The stranger stepped forward quickly, grabbed Deng Linyue's hair, raised his other hand high, and then swung it down violently.The wet and slippery hair that had just been washed was pulled out of his hand, and the hammer that should have fallen on the head hit Deng Linyue's shoulder fiercely. Deng Linyue gasped in pain, her feet went limp, and she fell to the floor. The stranger laughed "hehe" and approached slowly step by step. She moved back in fear, using both hands and feet. "Please, don't..." The stranger was unmoved, he took a step forward, stepped on Deng Linyue's leg, and raised the hammer again... "stop!" A roar like thunder suddenly sounded at the entrance.Immediately, with a "bang", a bullet flew past the stranger. The stranger was startled, and looked up at the opposite entrance, where two figures were running quickly.He didn't have time to think about it, so he turned and fled. Two people rushed to Deng Linyue's side, one of them said: "You stay!" and chased after the stranger with a gun. Deng Linyue felt that someone was helping her to sit up, her whole body was in pain, and she couldn't use any strength, so she could only lean on this person softly. "It's you?" She heard a surprised voice, turned her head to see Fang Mu's nervous face, "Where is the injury?" "Shoulder... shoulder pain..." Fang Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He changed into a kneeling position with great difficulty, letting Deng Linyue lean in his arms, and at the same time freed up one hand to draw out the saber. saved.Deng Linyue half-closed her eyes, feeling that all the strength in her body seemed to be away from her in an instant, and she was completely limp in Fang Mu's arms. "Bang!" There was another gunshot outside.Fang Mu and Deng Linyue were shocked at the same time, but the surroundings soon became quiet again. How's it going? What happened to that gunshot? Did you hit the murderer? He looked around nervously, but couldn't see anything except the circle of light not far away.On the dark stands, there seemed to be countless creatures jumping and dancing.He tried his best to catch every suspicious sound in the darkness, but apart from the breathing of himself and Deng Linyue, there was a dead silence around him.After his eyes finally adjusted to the light in the gymnasium, Fang Mu found a basketball lying quietly in front of him. "Are you alone?" He shook Deng Linyue in his arms. Deng Linyue opened her eyes weakly, "No, there is also Liu Jianjun." "Where is he?" Fang Mu asked eagerly.Deng Linyue waved her hand up weakly, "Broadcasting room." Fang Mu hurriedly put Deng Linyue on the floor, wanting to go up and have a look.Deng Linyue got strength from where she came from, and grabbed Fang Mu's clothes tightly: "Don't go, don't go, don't leave me here, please!" Fang Mu struggled a few times, but he couldn't get rid of her.Just as he was about to get angry, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him.Fang Mu hastily clenched his saber, and as soon as he turned around, several beams of flashlights shone on his face. "Who's there, put down what's in your hand!" Hearing the sound of pulling the bolt, Fang Mu hurriedly raised his hand, "It's me, Fang Mu." Several people ran over quickly, and Fang Mu recognized that the leader was the plainclothes policeman who had an argument with the student cadre yesterday.He shone Fang Mu and Deng Linyue with his flashlight. "It's you? What's going on? Where's Tai Wei?" Fang Mu didn't have time to answer him, and pointed to the radio room: "Quick, there's another person there." The plainclothes policeman waved to another policeman beside him, "You, come with me!" The two quickly ran up to the stands with their guns in hand. 方木看着他们猫着腰走进广播室，心里暗暗祈祷着：不要死，千万不要死。 手电光在广播室里摇曳着，好一会儿没有动静。方木再也忍不住了，大喊一声：“怎么样？” 便衣警察从门口探出头来：“没事，还活着。” 方木松了口气，转头对另外两个警察说：“邰伟去追凶手了，那个方向，你们快去支援他！” "No." 邰伟捂着脸，手里端着什么东西从黑暗中走了出来。 “开灯！”他冲上面的警察喊道。几秒钟后，体育馆里轰的一声灯火通明。 方木这才看清邰伟，他的脸上流着血，手里拿着一件用面巾纸包着的东西，看起来形状细长。 抓到他了么？ 你的脸怎么回事？ What is this? 问题太多，方木竟一时间说不出话来。 邰伟也没有要马上向他解释的意思，他皱着眉头看着那两个便衣警察费劲地把刘建军抬下来。 "How about it?" “没事，就是昏过去了。” 邰伟低下头查看半昏迷状态的邓琳玥，脸上的表情放松了许多。他安排那四个警察赶快把两名伤者送到医院，然后，转身把手里的东西展示给方木看。是一把螺丝刀。 两个人无言地对望。 果真是约克郡屠夫。 “妈的，这小子跑得挺快，而且肯定很熟悉体育馆的环境。追到一个拐弯的时候，我隐隐约约看到他把什么东西朝我这边扔了过来，我偏了下脑袋，还是没躲开。”他指指自己的脸，颧骨部位被划开了一条口子，还在不停地渗血，“情急之下，我也开了一枪，估计没打中。就慢了这一步，他拐过去，就不见了。我就返回去把这个捡了回来。”他指指那把螺丝刀。 方木若有所思地看着螺丝刀，突然指着邰伟的脚边：“那是什么？” 邰伟弯腰把那个东西捡起来，是一把钥匙，用橡皮筋拴在一个小铁片上，铁片的一面写着“女”，邰伟翻到另一面。 “6？”邰伟说。 “9？”站在对面的方木说。 两个人对望了一下，是9还是6？ “这个……”方木反复看着钥匙，“好像是更衣室的钥匙。” “女更衣室？”邰伟马上说，“那就应该是9，女更衣室的6号更衣箱已经被锁死了。” 方木想了想，拿起钥匙转身就走。 邰伟跟着方木来到女更衣室。方木上上下下地搜寻着，找到6号更衣箱，方木用钥匙试了试，打不开。 “咦，这边，也有一个6号。”邰伟诧异地指着一个更衣箱说道。 方木走过去，看了看钉在铁柜门上的“6”号铁牌，顺利地插入钥匙，稍稍用力一拧，开了。 他用手轻轻拨弄着号码牌，它滑稽地围着铆钉转起来，不断变换着：6、9、6、9…… 邰伟凑过去仔细查看，发现用来固定号码牌的两个铆钉，上面那个已经被撬掉了。 “这个更衣箱，原来是9号。”他看看方木，“被人动过手脚后，就变成6号了。” 方木的嘴角却渐渐露出一丝笑容。 总算没有让他得逞。
