Chapter 19 Chapter One

April 8.Sunday.Night, 22:19. he died. There was a wound seven or eight centimeters long in the throat, which was cut horizontally. The epidermis and muscle tissue had been turned out, and the tracheal incision was almost visible. One can imagine his agony before death—the cold air rushed into the exposed throat, but there was no oxygen to supply the heart.The whole neck was scarlet.The blood splattered far away, stained the broken glass on the ground, stained the dirty suit collar, it was Armani!In the fear of suffocation and blood loss, the heart only struggled for tens of seconds before it stopped beating in helplessness and resentment, and the brain fell into permanent darkness and silence...the eyes were still open.The strong light of the flashlight illuminates his eyes, and the pupils no longer change due to the intensity of the light, and gradually become cloudy and dim, leaving only the despair at the last moment, which is the despair that cannot be imagined when alive, the despair of falling into the cold abyss.

This pair of eyes that never rest in peace must have seen the murderer's face.What kind of face is it?Is it male or female?Is it old or young?Is it manic or calm?Is it vicious or kind? What was he thinking at the moment of death?This was the first time that Ye Xiao thought of this kind of question that made him feel deeply uneasy after seeing countless deaths in his more than ten years of police career. What made him restless was another pair of eyes in the room. A pair of eyes that were cloudy and dim but still alive.Unfortunately, not human. It lay beside the dead man, almost trapped by the ruins, revealing a furry head, two long ears and an almost dry nose.Its coat color became pitch black, and its original breed could hardly be seen, although Ye Xiao determined that it was a Labrador.

It stared firmly at Ye Xiao's eyes. Ye Xiao saw its hatred, pain, and despair. After the violent barking, it turned into a mournful howl, like a lone wolf wandering in the wilderness, making a sound to the moon. He knew it was mourning its master. The first time he heard a dog making a wolf-like sound, Ye Xiao didn't dare to look at its tear-filled eyes. At this moment, most of this hut of less than ten square meters has collapsed, like a bombed ruin.There is only a small space, exposing the upper body of the deceased and the trapped Labrador.In addition to the smell of blood, the air was also filled with dust, which stained Ye Xiao's police uniform, forcing him to put on his mask again.

If the soul of the person who has just died has not drifted away, he will not be able to see Ye Xiao's face clearly. Future Dream Building, ninth floor, Future Dream Studios, No. 7 Screening Hall, film projection machine room. The projection room is the most mysterious place in the theater.Whenever we sit in a movie theater, we look back at the end of the auditorium. From a small window above, a flickering white light shoots out, piercing the darkness in the big room, and over the heads of all the audience, it appears on the screen. Projected a strange world.Every child wonders what casts that light, and what turns into those huge images in the movie.All the secrets are in the small room behind the auditorium.

Unfortunately, the valuable digital cinema projector has been smashed into scrap iron. The wailing of the Labrador was still there, Ye Xiao bent over and stood up, exited the dangerous room, and turned on the intercom: "Rescue headquarters! A dead body and a surviving dog were found in the movie theater!" A few seconds later, there was a commotion on the intercom, followed by chaotic chatter, and finally the mayor's words: "Please start the search immediately, and make sure to find the survivors!" The other end of the walkie-talkie is more than 100 meters above the ground, and all the media from all over the world have gathered here, waiting for news that even a dog has been dug out of the ground before it can make it to the front page of the New York Times.

People have been waiting for seven days and seven nights since April Fool's Day. Until tonight, Easter.
