Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

Zhou Yulou didn't know how Xia Churong faced the mess in the private room of Fu'an Hotel.Would it be more relaxed?Not necessarily, after all, the deceased is beside you, and that was the life you ended by your own hands—that night, when Zhou Yulou realized that there were two dead bodies lying beside him, the first thing Zhou Yulou thought of was Xia Churong. He stood up among the corpses, feeling as empty in his mind as his body.He pulled his hair vigorously and slapped himself several times, but he still couldn't really wake up.He came to the bathroom, poured a few sips of water into the faucet, and poured some water on his hot face. Then, the emergency light of his thinking slowly turned on.

He looked at the mirror above the faucet, and found that he had turned into a blood man, with blood stains everywhere on his face, neck, shoulders, body, hair... everywhere, filthy.He wiped off the blood with a towel dipped in water, and at the same time worried constantly, wondering if there would be something left on his body with the blood, which would never be wiped off. There is nothing to say, he told himself, this is the end of the matter, clean up the mess, erase all traces of himself in this house, and never let those two corpses have anything to do with Zhou Yulou.After making this decision, he turned back and walked towards the bedroom, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly heard a scream: "Ah..."

It was a woman's cry. He almost sat on the ground.His first reaction was Bai Xiaoxi.She is not dead yet!Slowed down again... He rushed into the bedroom, but saw that Bai Xiaoxi's posture hadn't changed at all.At this time, a woman's voice came in from outside the door. "Whose cat? It's running around! It scares people to death at night, and I'll kick it to death next time!" The woman relieved her anger and stopped yelling. The sound of her opening the door with a key came from outside—the door next door. . Zhou Yulou walked into the bedroom. He has never done this kind of thing, but at least he has a judgment.He first dug out a leather bag from the closet and put the camera and video tapes in it.The process of taking the camera was not smooth, the broken piece was firmly embedded in Bai Xiaoxi's head, and he couldn't pull it out after several attempts.The most frightening thing was that every time he exerted force, Bai Xiaoxi would show a strange expression, and even once, her eyeballs were exposed from the opened eyelids, and the dilated pupils looked at him... Finally, he snapped hard!Finally, the camera was pulled out, and at the same time, a stream of blood spurted out and sprayed on his face.At that moment he cried out in shock.

He concentrated as much as possible while swiping his fingerprints.He knew that it was a job that required the most care, and he could not let go of any place touched by his hands, doorknobs, light switches, knife handles, walls... He was meticulous and wiped them one by one.Finally, when he felt that it was about the same, he gasped!He rushed to the bookshelf, wiped all the books he touched, and put them neatly. "Liberating Nature in Singing" was placed in the most inconspicuous position by him. The above process looks complicated, but it actually took less than 20 minutes in total.Zhou Yulou knew that the shorter the stay here, the better.But he still opened his eyes and looked around patiently, looking for any traces he might have left behind.Then, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gently took the pants, T-shirt and suit, and put them on one by one.Just finished wearing, there was a knock on the door.

Knock on the door three times. The voice was very soft, but it was like an iron rod suddenly smashing into Zhou Yulou's heart!He is fixed there, both in body and in mind.The door was less than two meters away from him, and that person was two meters away. bang... bang... bang... Zhou Yulou didn't dare to move, even worried that people outside the door would hear his heartbeat.He wondered what he should do if the man immediately opened the door with a key and entered the house. Finally, after a moment of silence, the person outside the door spoke, it was the voice of an old man. "Just now, did your family see the cat... Is it the cat you saw? Where did the cat go..."

There was another knock on the door next door. The collapse was so close to Zhou Yulou that it was within his reach.But he couldn't stop, he took a sheet from the bed and started the last step, wiping his footprints.He wiped from the inside out, the bedroom, the bathroom, the hallway... all are not left behind, and he will never step on the place he wiped. When he finally wiped the door, he knew that it was time to leave. He stuffed the sheet into his leather bag and looked at his watch, it was exactly ten o'clock.He didn't rush to open the door, he had to think again.He knew that once he stepped out of this door, he would never have a chance to come back, and all future troubles must be resolved now.He was thinking hard, filtering out all the details, looking around again and again, asking himself if he missed anything... Thanks to this process, at the last moment, he told himself... Oh my god!that!How can that fall?

that! ! Thank goodness it was found and had to be taken away!There are chat records between him and "Hairou", God knows if it will become a guide for the police!He returned to the bedroom, picked up the laptop on the table, put it into the leather bag together with various accessories, and carefully wiped off the gray marks on the table, and then returned to the door with a sigh of relief. He listened to the movement outside, gently opened the door, stepped out, and was about to close the door when he heard a phone ringing. It's Bai Xiaoxi's call. Bai Xiaoxi's phone was still on the ground, and the ringtone was like a late greeting drifting towards an aimless end.Zhou Yulou didn't care about it, he closed the door and went downstairs quickly.As a result, as soon as he walked out of the corridor, he ran into the old man looking for a cat.

The old man was lurking behind a row of bicycles like an old detective. When he saw Zhou Yulou coming out of the corridor, he jumped up to him with a "whoosh" and asked him, "Which floor did you come down from?" Zhou Yulou glanced at him, he was as thin as a stick of wax.Zhou Yulou didn't answer, just bowed his head and walked forward.The old man chased after him. "Hey, did you see a cat when you went downstairs? I raised it and lost it. Did you see it? It's black and white, not big, a kitten..." "No!" He yelled to end the old man's entanglement, and walked into the boundless night with his head down.

Zhou Yulou got home at ten o'clock short of 11 o'clock.Before that, he found a place to dispose of the pile. Outside the house, he held his breath and listened for a long time, until he was sure that Jiang Dan was really asleep before he dared to enter the door.He glanced warily at the dark bedroom, then walked gently into the bathroom. In the following time, he took a long, steaming shower, smoked three cigarettes in the study, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, let the crazy bubbles rush down his throat, and finally I vaguely feel that I have returned to reality from hell.

He stretched himself, feeling very tired.He tried to put everything behind him for a while, but after trying for a while, he realized that it was futile.All the pictures seemed to be glued to his memory cells with super glue, which could not be removed or erased.Later, he simply guessed the relationship between Bai Xiaoxi and that man. He could see that the man was not very old. What were they?Friends?brother and sister?couple? ... Who cares? !Finally, he said to himself. That night Zhou Yulou had a nightmare with extremely high pixels.He dreamed of knocking on the door, and Jiang Dan went to open the door. After a while, Jiang Dan led two policemen into the bedroom.The policeman has a pale face, like a jailer sent from the underworld.The policeman asked him where he was tonight.He stammered about eating out with friends.The police suddenly flew into a rage, nonsense!Are you at your student Bai Xiaoxi's house?He flusteredly said no.The police asked, what is this?He saw the police reach into a bag and slowly pull out something... the broken video camera.Zhou Yulou was shocked, because even in his dream he remembered that he took the camera away.But what surprised him even more was still behind. When the police took the camera out of the bag, he saw that Bai Xiaoxi's bloody head was still stuck in the stump... He woke up at that time.

It took him a while to be sure that he had been dreaming and now was reality.He couldn't remember exactly when he was disturbed by successive nightmares, but this time was undoubtedly the most serious.He looked at Jiang Dan beside him, Jiang Dan fell asleep peacefully.But he couldn't fall asleep anyway.He was afraid that once he closed his eyes, the nightmare would come again uninvited.He wished the night would end quickly, and tomorrow's sun would dry up all nightmares.He looked at the window, in the darkness, trying to find a beam of light called safety.
