Chapter 27 Chapter Four

Xiao Wei frowned, "If this is the case, we must organize a rescue immediately without delay." "But you have been there and can't find the place she said!" The female police officer reminded. "That's because we can't find it if we wander around the edge of the vast primeval forest without someone to guide us." Xiao Wei paused and looked at the woman. "But if you can show us the way, I believe we will find it soon. At least find the home of the old man who saved you first. He should be more familiar with this forest and can help us go deep into the forest and find the murderer's house." cabin."

"Of course I would like to show you the way, but I really forgot which section of the road I was rescued in." The woman said helplessly. Xiao Wei said, "If we can take you to the place where you boarded the car, do you remember how to walk into the forest?" The woman thinks for a moment. "it should be OK." "That's good! We contacted the driver of your van. He remembered that you were on that section of the road, but he didn't know which direction you came from, so we blindly searched for it before. ...now you can get directions by going to that spot with us."

"Yes." The woman nodded repeatedly. "Then let's go now!" The female police officer said, "Director Xiao, is it okay for you to go back non-stop just now?" "No matter how tired you are, you have to go," Xiao Wei said sternly, "There are other victims in the forest, we cannot afford to waste time." He pointed to one of the male policemen who stayed at the police station just now and said, "Luo Cheng, you drive another police car and take her to the forest with us. Liu Juan, Zhang Lin, you two are on standby at the station." "Yes!" The female police officer replied together with another male police officer.Stand by.

The two police cars roared towards the road near the primeval forest. After 50 minutes, they stopped beside Highway No. 9. The place was sparsely populated and very desolate. There were no houses around, only some vehicles passing by. There are four policemen who are with the woman now.Except for Xiao Wei, the other three policemen are relatively young, especially the little policeman named Wang Bing, whose face is so immature, he should be a new policeman who has just graduated from the police academy. Xiao Wei said to the woman, "This section of road is where you stopped the car yesterday morning, do you remember?"

The woman looked around and felt really familiar. She nodded and said, "Yes, it should be here." "Okay, now you look around carefully, and answer me after you think about it, you ran up from the road." The woman pursed her lips tightly, trying to recall what she saw and passed through yesterday, and she regained some impressions.He pointed to the right and said, "This is the way." Then he pointed diagonally forward, "For me, I ran in this direction until I came to the road." "Are you sure?" Xiao Wei looked at him. The woman nodded her head with certainty, "That's right, I really didn't have any memory before, but I remembered it as soon as I got here."

"Okay, the direction has been determined, how long can we walk in this direction to reach the old man's wooden house?" "Twenty minutes at most." Xiao Wei nodded in thought, and after a while, he said to the woman: "Now you have two choices, one is that the three of us policemen go to handle the case, Luo Cheng will drive you back and take you to the police station to wait for us, the other is, You go with us four policemen and take us to the Devil's Lair to catch the murderer, which one do you choose?" Why should I go back to that horrible devil's lair? The woman shuddered and her face turned pale.

Xiao Wei explained to him. "I know that the second choice is a bit risky for you, but, after all, you escaped from that devil's lair, so you should vaguely remember some directions. If you can join us, I believe it will help us catch the murderer as soon as possible. And you can rest assured that under the protection of our four armed policemen, you are absolutely safe. But I also know that you must have fear of that place, so I will not force you to take us there, you think about it Come on, I respect your choice." Hearing what Police Officer Xiao said, the woman became embarrassed. She was worried about her husband's safety, of course she hoped that the police could find the magic cave and rescue her husband as soon as possible. Although there are four policemen protecting him, the psychological fear is irresistible. He is very contradictory. What should he do?

(Story branch) Route a, follow a policeman back to the police station. Route b, go to the Devil's Nest with the four policemen. (fifth choice) a route.Araki Boat, Dark Fire, Lake, Saka, Chiaki, Moby Dick bRoute.Xia Houshen, Longma, Beidou, Nantian (the fifth choice) a route. (Follow a policeman back to the police station) After contemplating for a long time, the woman still couldn't suppress the fear in her heart. He said to Xiao Wei: "I'm sorry, officer, I'm really afraid of that murderer, and that place, I'm afraid I can't make a calm judgment, and it will delay you. leg……"

"I can understand," Xiao Wei nodded. "I told you, I won't force you." He turned to the policeman named Luo Cheng and said, "You can drive him back and take him to the police station for orders." "Yes, Director, please be careful." Luo Cheng obeyed the arrangement and said to the woman, "Let's go, let's go back." The woman held Xiao Wei's hand and pleaded. "Officer, please, please rescue my husband and others." "Of course we will." Xiao Wei and the other two policemen took out the compass and flashlight from the police car, and checked the pistol on their waist.Walk towards the forest.

The woman and Officer Luo watched the three of them disappear into the dense forest and drove back. It was already half past five when we returned to the police station. Luo Cheng explained the situation to two colleagues, Liu Juan and Zhang Lin. Since it was meal time, Luo Cheng asked the restaurant next to him to deliver four fast food. After eating, the police officer suggested that the woman come to the police station. Rest in your own room.Lying on the bed, the woman can't relax and I can't sleep. He is thinking about the three policemen who went deep into the virgin forest and praying. They can catch the murderer smoothly and safely. The twilight is getting darker. This is a dangerous signal. Although the police are well-trained, But do they have an advantage over killers who are familiar with the forest terrain?Although there is only one opponent, he is a madman who kills without blinking an eye.

Worrying is meaningless and we can only wait for the result. The woman closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. Gradually, he felt sleepy. The knock on the door woke the woman up.Only then did he realize that he was asleep, he stood up and walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?" "I" the voice of a male policeman.Through a small piece of glass above the door, the woman saw Officer Luo Cheng's face. He quickly opened the door and asked, "Is it Officer Xiao, have they returned?" The strange thing is that Officer Luo stood there dumbfounded without saying a word. .The woman was wondering and was about to ask what happened?But I saw a stream of blood overflowing from the corner of Police Officer Luo's mouth.Then the body shook twice and fell to the side.behind him.A familiar and terrifying figure suddenly appeared, it was the murderer wearing a wolf mask. "Ah!" The hair on the woman's body stood on end, and he screamed, "Officer Liu, Officer Zhang, help!" But the murderer was not nervous at all, he was holding a bloody sharp knife in his hand.Slowly walked into the room and closed the door, the woman's eyes became dark.God, did he kill all three policemen?It suddenly occurred to him that the murderer might know that the police would go to the forest to arrest him, so he did the opposite and went to the police station where the police force was weakened to start killing.But why did he insist on putting me to death! The murderer approached the woman step by step and retreated to the corner, trembling all over. He no longer had the strength to struggle and fight, so he could only beg. "Please, please let me go" The murderer didn't attack immediately, he tilted his head and stared at the woman for a long time like he wanted to see a toy. The woman didn't know what this lunatic was thinking, she wanted to find a chance to escape, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't even walk. Finally, the murderer raised his sharp knife and stabbed it at the woman's chest. ...(bad ending) (fifth choice) route b (go to the magic cave with four policemen) The woman hesitated for a moment, her desire to save people finally overcame her fear, she looked up at Xiao Wei and said, "Officer Xiao, I am willing to go with you." Xiao Wei looked at the woman appreciatively and nodded. "Okay, don't worry, we'll keep you safe" "Let's go in this direction!" The woman walked in front and led the four policemen to the old man's cabin. As dusk deepened, the cloudless sky turned a deep, bruised purple.Twenty minutes later, their eyes lit up and they saw the wooden house in front, the woman said happily. “I remember correctly it was here” "Is there an old man here with his granddaughter and a young girl with an injured foot?" Xiao Wei asked. "Yes!" Several policemen came to the door of the wooden house.Xiao Wei knocked on the door, waited for half a minute, and opened it. It was the old man. When the old man saw the woman, he said happily, "It's you. You found the police. It's great." "Yes, old man, I followed the direction you said, walked to the road, and got on the bus." The woman said gratefully, "Thanks to you for saving me that night, otherwise I might not be alive now." The old man smiled and waved his hands. He looked at the policemen and said, "You have come to this forest to catch that murderer!" "Yes," Xiao Wei looked at the old man, "Do you know that there are murderers in this forest?" "Of course I don't know, otherwise how dare I still live here?" The old man said in fear, "It was only that night when he came to ask for help that I found out about this terrible thing." Xiao Wei frowned, noticing that the old man said he came for help instead of them."What about the girl with the broken foot? Is she okay?" he asked. "The girl with the injured foot?" The old man asked blankly, "Who are you talking about?" Xiao Weizheng looked at the woman for a while, and the woman was obviously stunned, she said. "The old man is the girl who came to ask for help after me that night. She found the murderer's attack like me and came here and sprained her ankle. You applied medicine for her and let him sleep with me in the storage in the room?" The old man seemed even more confused, and he shook his head in confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about. You were the only one who came to ask for help that night, and you stayed here with me!" The woman was completely stunned and her tongue stuck to her jaw. After a while, she said: "Old man... what's the matter with you? You don't have amnesia, do you?" "I didn't, but you told me that night that your head was attacked and you lost your memory. You can't even remember your own name," the old man said. "Yes, I forgot what happened before, but I clearly remember what happened later." The woman became anxious, "I escaped here to meet you and your granddaughter and then..." "Wait what are you talking about?" The old man looked at him in surprise, "Who did you say you saw here?" "You and your granddaughter" "My... granddaughter," the old man's lips trembled.He trembled all over, and then repeated the words repeatedly, "My granddaughter?" The woman stared blankly at the old man and said. "Yes, your granddaughter is about fifteen or sixteen years old..." "No, you are not allowed to mention him." The old man suddenly reprimanded and then said something extremely shocking. "My granddaughter... died three years ago!" This sentence is like a bolt from the blue.The woman was stunned, and the appearance of the girl standing on the wooden stairs looking at him with cold eyes appeared in front of her eyes, and there was a chill on his back, biting the bone. Could it be that what I saw that night was a ghost?the woman thought in horror.But soon he dismissed the idea in his mind because he remembered it clearly.The old man said at the time that the girl was his granddaughter and she was dumb, so the old man was lying. He denied the existence of his granddaughter and the girl, but why? This thing is really weird to the extreme.The policeman felt that things were getting complicated.They looked at each other and frowned.Xiao Wei asked, "Old man, do you mean that you are the only one living in this wooden house?" "Yes" said the old man. "Would you mind telling us how your granddaughter died?" The old man closed his eyes in pain, and a tear rolled out of his eyes. "Car accident... After he died, I couldn't stay in the house where I lived with him anymore, so I came to this forest and lived alone" "You mean, you used to live with your granddaughter?" Xiao Wei asked, "Where are his parents?" "I didn't want her even after divorce. Only my grandfather loves her, but she still left me in the end" The old man wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Why...you want me to bring up these sad things?" The woman wanted to ask him why he was lying, but she felt her throat was blocked and she couldn't say anything. Xiao Wei thought for a while and said to the old man, "Can we go inside and have a look?" "Yes." The old man stood up and asked the police to enter.After the four policemen entered, they checked the downstairs and upstairs rooms respectively, but did not see any girls, nor did they find any traces of young girls living here.There is only one bed in the upstairs room, and some daily necessities for the elderly are placed beside it. "Boss, what's going on?" A policeman named He Dong quietly asked Xiao Wei.He glanced at the woman and pointed to his head, "Could it be that she was attacked here and lost her mind?" "Don't jump to conclusions." Xiao Wei frowned and said, "I'll ask her." Xiao Wei asked two policemen to wait inside, called the woman outside, and asked, "Can you explain what's going on?" The woman said firmly, "He's lying." "But why did he do this? He saved you and directed you to ask for help—it would be too contradictory if he was a bad person." "...Yes, it is true that he saved me. But what I said is absolutely true! Officer, you have to believe me, I clearly remember what I have experienced, and what I have seen I'm not insane!" said the woman distressed, "I don't understand why he lied, but there must be a reason!" Xiao Wei stared at her for a few seconds, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said, "It's getting late, it's almost six o'clock. This matter will be clarified later. Now, we can't waste time, we have to hurry Find the murderer's house before it gets dark, otherwise it will be difficult to handle at night!" Women also realize that indeed this is the most important thing in front of them.She nodded, and walked into the wooden house with Xiao Wei. "Old man, do you know where there is such a wooden house in this forest?" Xiao Wei asked. Know. The old man replied immediately. "I saw it when I was wandering in the forest before."But I thought it was just an empty house. Unexpectedly, there were... murderers living in it. "He turned pale. "You mean, besides your wooden house, there is only that one wooden house?" "How far is that cabin from here? Do you know how to get there?" "I don't know," said the old man. "It's a little far away. I've only seen it once, and I've forgotten the way—I wandered around there."
