Chapter 31 Chapter 30 Awakening

Lin Guodong walked out of the building and threw the plastic bag in his hand into the trash can.It's a bit windy tonight, and there's a damp smell in the air.He looked at the dark cloud-rolled night sky, and estimated that the first spring rain this year was coming. Lin Guodong put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, tightened his collar, and walked out of the community. After letting Chen Xiao go that night, Lin Guodong didn't go out for several days.He knew very well that the original translation company could no longer go there.However, the meager salary he received before could not support him for a long time, and he had to find a job again as soon as possible.After posting more than a dozen resumes on the Internet, there was no response.This made him spend a few days in a depressed mood.He went out for a walk tonight, firstly to relax, and secondly, he could go to the supermarket to buy some food that was discounted before the store closed.

The arrival of spring seems to make people more in the mood to travel.Although it was past eight o'clock in the evening, the street was still full of people coming and going.Lin Guodong walked to the bus stop, glanced at the crowd waiting for the bus, and stood under the awning, waiting patiently for the bus. At this time, a girl walked by and stood beside him.She looked at the information on the bus stop sign, then took out her phone and played with it. Lin Guodong looked at her, with long straight hair, in her twenties, carrying a purple Nike backpack, a thin black down jacket on her upper body, blue jeans on her lower body, and a pair of sneakers on her feet.Looks like a student.

The girl is tall, with a tall waist and straight, slender legs.She seemed to notice Lin Guodong's gaze, and turned to look at him.The moment their eyes met, Lin Guodong turned his head away. The girl ignored him, took out her earphones and started listening to music, her body shaking gently with the rhythm from time to time. Another gust of wind blew, and a vaguely scented fragrance floated into Lin Guodong's nostrils.He trembled suddenly, and moved his nostrils quickly, as if he wanted to find the source of this fragrance.Soon, he discovered that the smell was coming from the girl next to him.

Immediately, he felt more and more intense heat burst out from his head, and then travel through the whole body, finally converging to the lower abdomen.Every pore seemed to be open, and hot desire flowed out.The heart began to beat violently, and the blood vessels were contracting and dilating forcefully.Sweat dripped slightly on his forehead, and his palms became hot. Lin Guodong smacked his lips, and immediately felt a rust-like sweet smell.This dangerous and seductive smell made him even more excited.Pretending to take a deep breath, Lin Guodong quietly moved towards the girl, sniffing her scent like an addict.

The girl seemed to have sensed his approach, she just tilted her head slightly, but she didn't dodge it, and continued to fiddle with her phone.At this time, the crowd on the bus platform began to move to the side of the road, and not far away, a No. 249 bus was slowly approaching. The girl also took steps, walking forward with the crowd planning to get on the bus, and at the same time, took out the bus card from her pocket. Although Lin Guodong didn't intend to take the No. 249 bus, the smell on the girl's body seemed to have magical powers, leading him to the bus that was entering the station.

It seemed that the girl didn't notice Lin Guodong who was following her, and her attention was still on her mobile phone. While walking, she opened WeChat, selected a contact, and clicked to send a video.Then, she stuffed the phone into the grid in front of the shoulder strap of her schoolbag.At this moment, she just stepped onto the pedal of the bus, swiped her card, and walked into the crowded compartment. Lin Guodong also got into the car.The doors closed behind them. Wei Jiong was sitting in the library, in front of him was a CET-6 textbook opened to page 177.He has been staring at this page for at least two hours, but his mind is not on those English words at all.

He turned his head and looked out of the window, where the street lamps on campus dotted the gloomy night sky.The whistling wind was faintly discernible.Wei Jiong felt flustered inexplicably, as if something was about to happen. He looked at the table diagonally behind him again. A small boy with greasy hair was hard at work reading a book of advanced math problems.That was where Yue Xiaohui used to sit, but she hadn't seen her for two whole days. where did she go Wei Jiong took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and typed in the dialog with Yue Xiaohui: "Where are you?" Almost at the same time as the message was sent, Yue Xiaohui responded, but her reply was neither text nor voice, but a video.

Wei Jiong felt strange, looked around, took out the earphones, put them on, and clicked the play button. The earphones temporarily isolated the surrounding sounds, and Yue Xiaohui's voice was exceptionally clear.It looked as if she was in a residential area, with a wall pasted with small advertisements behind her, and unmelted snow could still be seen in the corner. Yue Xiaohui seemed to have stood outside for a long time, her cheeks were flushed from the cold, and she looked very tired. "Wei Jiong, when you see this video, please contact Du Cheng immediately and ask him to locate my phone." Yue Xiaohui paused for a moment, "At the same time, if there is a chance, I will share it with you via WeChat. my real-time location."

Wei Jiong was even more puzzled: where is Yue Xiaohui?What does she want to do?Why contact Du Cheng? Before she had time to think about it, Yue Xiaohui continued: "Du Cheng is right. According to the existing evidence, we have nothing to do with Lin Guodong. The only chance is that he kills again." Yue Xiaohui smiled at the camera, but her smile was nervous and anxious, " I'm the man to get him hooked. If you're by my side right now, you'll see that I've put 'Madame Butterfly' on..." She stopped suddenly and moved her eyes away: "Actually, I really miss you by my side."

Dazed for a few seconds, Yue Xiaohui tossed her hair, and her expression returned to normal: "Don't persuade me, it's useless. Our time is running out, Du Cheng can't wait any longer, and neither can I. So, I Lin Guodong must be brought to justice as soon as possible." She put up a finger in front of the screen with a firm attitude: "Never call me. When the time is right, I will turn on the video recording mode of the mobile phone and record the whole process of Lin Guodong committing the crime. What you have to do is to do it as soon as possible." Find me. If possible, there may be time to bring me back."

Yue Xiaohui smiled again: "To be honest, I don't want to die either. If there is a chance..." She emphasized her tone and became serious, "I will explain to you why I did this." At this time, there was a faint muffled sound in the earphone, as if a door was closed.Yue Xiaohui also followed the sound and looked obliquely forward.Immediately, her expression became tense, and she ducked back. "He's come out." Yue Xiaohui faced the screen again, and began to speak faster, "I have to go, you must do as I tell you!" The video has finished playing. Wei Jiong was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately dialed Yue Xiaohui's cell phone number.After the bell rang a few times, I was hung up, and I rang again, and was hung up again.He picked up his schoolbag and ran to the reading room. When going downstairs in three steps at a time, Wei Jiong dialed Du Cheng's cell phone and asked him to locate Yue Xiaohui's cell phone immediately.Du Cheng was inexplicable: "Why? I'm at home..." "Immediately, immediately!" Wei Jiong rushed down the stairs, quickly passed through the hall, and ran out of the library.A girl holding a few books in her arms couldn't dodge and was knocked down heavily by him.Wei Jiong only had time to say "sorry" before he pushed open the gate and ran towards the school gate. "I'll arrange it now." Although Du Cheng didn't understand Wei Jiong's motives and purpose, he didn't dare to delay any longer due to the chaotic voice from the receiver. "You keep your phone on and keep in touch." Wei Jiong ran out of the school gate in one breath and came to the still densely trafficked street.He stood on the side of the road, waving furiously to every passing taxi.However, most taxis are already loaded.A few minutes later, a taxi with "empty driving" on it stopped in front of him. Although the waiting time was not long, Wei Jiong was already anxious.The taxi driver looked at the sweaty boy curiously and asked, "Where are you going?" Only then did Wei Jiong realize that he didn't know Yue Xiaohui's whereabouts at all.He thought for a while and instructed the driver: "Drive ahead first." The taxi driver was even more puzzled.Still, he pressed the meter and started the car. Wei Jiong dialed Du Cheng's phone again, and the phone was connected after only one ring.Du Cheng's voice was also hurried, as if he was also running. "Have you located Yue Xiaohui?" "I asked Zhang Zhenliang to investigate." The receiver heard the sound of unlocking and pulling the car door, "What's going on?" "Yue Xiaohui went to find Lin Guodong." Wei Jiong's lips trembled, "She put on 'Madame Butterfly'." Du Cheng's breathing stopped suddenly, and then he heard the roar of the engine. "how do you know?" Wei Jiong briefly explained to Du Cheng the content of the video sent to him by Yue Xiaohui, and then there was a blunt sound of slamming the steering wheel with his palm from the receiver. "You fucking..." Du Cheng gritted his teeth and his voice was clearly discernible, "Is this girl crazy?" "Stop talking nonsense!" Wei Jiong interrupted him, "What should we do now?" "What to do, save people first!" Du Cheng's tone was firm, "You just stay here and don't go anywhere!" Wei Jiong still wanted to argue, but Du Cheng had already hung up the phone. The taxi has come to an intersection.The driver turned to Wei Jiong, testing his tone: "Do you want to continue driving?" Wei Jiong squeezed the space between his eyebrows and forced himself to calm down.Yue Xiaohui said "he came out" in the video and left immediately.This "he" must refer to Lin Guodong.Then, based on time calculation, the two of them should still be near Lin Guodong's house. "Go to Tiedong District." Wei Jiong pointed to the southeast side of the city, "Lvzhuyuan Community." "Okay!" From the phone conversation just now, the driver has realized that the situation faced by this young passenger is not trivial.He didn't dare to neglect, turned on the turn signal, and sped towards Tiedong District. The carriage was crowded with people.The girl held on to the pole and looked out the window motionlessly.Lin Guodong stuck tightly behind her, breathing long and deeply.The soul-stealing smell kept pouring into his nostrils, as if countless tiny tentacles were scratching his heart lightly but densely. Lin Guodong's mouth became more and more dry, and there was even a rustling sound in his mouth.He kept swallowing his saliva, and his Adam's apple wriggled up and down.At the same time, a certain part of his body gradually became restless. A few spots of water started to appear on the window, and then became thicker.Soon, large raindrops slapped on the car body, making regular sounds. The first rain this spring has finally come. The ground is wet and slippery, driving slowly.Passengers disembarked at every stop, and more came aboard.The damp breath spread in the carriage, dragging in and out, ambiguous. Lin Guodong felt that his face was wet and cold, and also a little sticky to the touch.This made him even more excited.Taking advantage of the shaking of the car and the crowd, he quietly took another step closer to the girl. The girl's body was pressed against the pole, and her entire upper body leaned over.Lin Guodong even felt the shape of the items in the schoolbag on his shoulders.The girl didn't respond immediately, but took out the cell phone in the net bag, pressed it a few times, and then stuffed it back. Immediately, she turned around, put her hands in front of the net bag, and took a look at Lin Guodong. This is the first time the two have looked at each other.Lin Guodong quickly turned his head away.But at a glance, the restlessness in his heart didn't decrease but increased.The girl has a good face and delicate skin.Especially the exposed part of the neck is white and smooth. His heart was beating violently again.What would it feel like to hold such a neck in your hand? The girl turned away expressionlessly. The sudden rain made the road traffic slightly congested.Looking at the dense traffic ahead, Wei Jiong felt anxious.He kept looking at his phone, but neither Du Cheng nor Yue Xiaohui had any news. Yue Xiaohui's intention was obvious: use "Madame Butterfly" and herself to lure Lin Guodong to commit crimes again.Judging from Lin Guodong's intention to kill Chen Xiao, it is very likely that he will take the bait.However, the risk Yue Xiaohui faced was equally huge.If Lin Guodong's active criminal cannot be caught in time, even if Yue Xiaohui can leave evidence, it will cost her life. I don't know what made Yue Xiaohui make such a decision, even if it was for Lao Ji or Du Cheng, the price would be too high. Wei Jiong repeatedly warned himself not to think about it, and to concentrate on organizing his thoughts.Now Yue Xiaohui should be with Lin Guodong, the specific location is unknown, the environment is unknown, and it is not known whether Lin Guodong has taken the bait.However, the top priority is not to arrest Lin Guodong, but to stop Yue Xiaohui.Even if Lin Guodong was disturbed and lost the chance to bring him to justice, he couldn't just watch Yue Xiaohui die. Just as he was thinking, the screen of Wei Jiong's mobile phone suddenly lit up, and a burst of ding ding dong dong rang immediately.He subconsciously looked down, it was a video chat request sent by Yue Xiaohui. Wei Jiong held his breath all of a sudden, and pressed the "Answer" button without thinking. A slightly shaking picture appeared on the screen, but Yue Xiaohui's face could not be seen.Taking up most of the frame is a window and a row of human heads below it.At the same time, an indistinct voice came from the earphones. It sounded like a female voice, with a flat tone and no ups and downs. A few numbers could be discerned. Wei Jiong suddenly realized that Yue Xiaohui was on a bus.He eagerly shouted into the microphone: "Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui, where are you?" Yue Xiaohui did not respond, and the image displayed on the screen still maintained the original angle.A few seconds later, the screen began to rotate rapidly, and after passing by a few unidentified people, it froze in the compartment. Wei Jiong's eyes suddenly widened.The upper body of a man appeared in the picture. He looked directly at Yue Xiaohui's direction, then turned his head away. At the same time, his Adam's apple was wriggling rapidly.Although it was only a short two seconds, Wei Jiong recognized him——Lin Guodong. The picture turned again, and the window appeared on the screen again.After a few seconds, the video chat ends. Wei Jiong's heart beat wildly.Although Yue Xiaohui didn't speak, she must have wanted to convey some kind of message to him through this video: she was indeed with Lin Guodong, and he had already taken the bait. But where are they? Wei Jiong desperately recalled every picture and every sound in that video.It is impossible to tell which bus it is just from the window.Moreover, the windows are full of rain, and the scenery outside the windows cannot be seen clearly, let alone the location of the bus.However, the female voice that came out of the earphone just now seemed to be an announcement, and the group of numbers sounded like 249. "Welcome to take bus No. 249..." Wei Jiong hurriedly opened Baidu search on his mobile phone.Indeed, one of the stops of bus No. 249 is near Lvzhuyuan Community.Then, there is no doubt that Yue Xiaohui and Lin Guodong are in this car.But which direction are they going? No. 249 is a bus line running across the north and south sides of the city.The taxi that Wei Jiong took had almost arrived at the Lvzhuyuan Community, if he chased in the wrong direction, he would be farther and farther away from Yue Xiaohui. Wei Jiong suddenly became confused and looked around anxiously, as if he wanted to see Yue Xiaohui on a certain bus beside him.However, through the water-stained car window, the scenery outside was only hazy, and it was impossible to see clearly.He reached out to shake the car window, but stopped the moment he reached for the handle. raindrop. Wei Jiong stared blankly at the car window.The rainwater slapping on the glass flows quickly, leaving a meandering track, like countless small rivers flowing.The bus in the video just now appeared in his mind.On the car window, rainwater flows from the upper left corner of the glass to the lower right corner. At that time, the bus was announcing the stop, indicating that it had just started and the speed was not fast.The trail of rain on the windows meant that the bus was traveling against the wind. Thinking of this, Wei Jiong hurriedly ordered the taxi driver: "Master, stop." The driver responded, and the taxi slowly pulled over to the side of the road.Wei Jiong rolled down the car window, quietly observing the rain outside the car, and found that the fine rain line was drifting from behind. "Turn around!" Wei Jiong instructed the driver again, and at the same time handed over his mobile phone, pointing to the route on the map and said, "Drive along the stop of Route 249." "Xiangjiang Bridge Station is here, please get off the passengers and get ready..." The female voice that announced the station sounded again, and some passengers began to move towards the door.The girl also left the pole she had been holding, and followed the crowd to the car door. The No. 249 bus slowed down and drove slowly into the Xiangjiang Bridge station.The door opened, and the passengers came out in a single file, separated separately.The girl pulled the hood of the down jacket to the top of her head and walked slowly along the sidewalk. Lin Guodong put his hands in his pockets and followed behind her.Leaving the carriage, the strong fragrance on the girl's body suddenly became weaker.Fortunately, both of them were traveling against the wind, and the smell still got into his nose from time to time.The girl still didn't seem to be aware of his following, she neither turned her head nor looked around, she was still walking leisurely, looking at ease. After walking about a hundred meters, the girl turned into a supermarket.Lin Guodong hesitated for a moment, waited at the door for a few seconds, and then walked in. There were not many people in the supermarket, and Lin Guodong saw the girl picking products among the shelves at a glance.He glanced back and forth, then went straight to the kitchen utensils area. Among the rows of knife holders, Lin Guodong pretended to be patiently selecting, and glanced at the girl from time to time.In the narrow field of view, girls still linger in front of the shelves.What he couldn't see was that the girl kept looking up at an LCD TV hanging above. It was the video surveillance display in the store, and the screen was divided into six grids.From the moment Lin Guodong stepped into the supermarket, until his every move in the kitchenware area, it was clearly displayed on the display. A smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth, which was replaced by a nervous expression. Lin Guodong finally chose a slender kitchen knife, looked at the girl who was still in the food area, got up and went to the cashier to pay.After paying, he walked out of the supermarket first, and then hid behind a light box on the side of the road, quietly watching the entrance of the supermarket. A few minutes later, the girl also came out with a plastic bag in her hand.She looked to the left and right, and continued to walk in the direction against the wind. Lin Guodong stepped out from behind the light box and followed silently. On the road more than ten meters away from them, a red taxi sped past.Inside the car window, a boy stared at the bus ahead with an anxious expression. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the pedestrians on the road began to thin out.The girl still kept walking at an unhurried pace.After a few minutes, she turned right and entered an alley. Lin Guodong followed.This is a one-way street with residential buildings on both sides.Although there are no street lights, the lights pouring from the windows of the houses still give some light to the road.The girl was about ten meters in front of him, took off the earphones, lowered her head and pressed on the phone screen. Lin Guodong looked forward, and at the end of the alley was a dark building, which seemed to be a construction site that was suspended for construction.He looked around again, except for himself and the girl, there was no one else in the alley. He quickened his pace, took out the kitchen knife he had just bought as he walked, unpacked it, and stuffed it into his pocket.I don't know if the girl lives nearby. If I don't start, I'm afraid I will lose my chance.After a few seconds, he was only one step away from the girl.The girl heard footsteps behind her, and turned around subconsciously—Lin Guodong put the knife on her chest. "do not move!" Lin Guodong tried his best to make his voice appear fierce and low.The girl was indeed frightened by him, she took a step back and her face turned pale. "You... what are you doing?" "Go forward!" Lin Guodong pushed the girl, "Don't shout, or I will kill you!" The girl looked at the sharp knife, turned around and walked forward without any resistance. Lin Guodong grabbed the girl's left arm, put the knife on the girl's waist, and while paying attention to the movement around him, he held the girl and walked towards the building. The girl quietly removed the phone from the grid on her chest, and opened the WeChat interface. Wei Jiong stood under the bus and quickly patrolled the compartment of the No. 249 bus.The passengers were also curious about this anxious boy, and they all turned their heads to cast him a questioning look.However, there is no face that Wei Jiong wants to see. The bus leaves the station.Wei Jiong jumped into a taxi waiting on the side of the road, and said to the driver, "Keep driving and chase the next one." The taxi sped away.Wei Jiong called Du Cheng again.As soon as the phone was connected, he asked, "Where is she?" "Between Heishan Road and Songshan Road, I'm almost there. Zhang Zhenliang will bring the equipment." Du Cheng's voice was urgent, "We will definitely find her, you are not allowed to go anywhere, wait for my news..." "I've already come out. She and Lin Guodong were on bus No. 249 just now, I don't know if they have gotten off..." Wei Jiong's eyes widened suddenly, and a WeChat icon popped up in the message bar at the top of the phone screen come out. Without even thinking about it, he pulled down the menu and clicked on WeChat. It's Yue Xiaohui! In the dialog box is a message of sharing real-time location: she is in a small alley between Heishan Road and Songshan Road.Wei Jiong zoomed in on the map, and the name of the alley clearly appeared on the phone screen. "Master, turn around—Lane 102, Heishan Road!" Wei Jiong yelled into the microphone again: "She's in Lane 102, Heishan Road!" "Okay, I'll be right there!" Du Cheng didn't have time to ask why, "You're waiting for me at the alley, don't be alone..." Wei Jiong hung up the phone directly, staring at the map on the phone screen and the icon representing Yue Xiaohui. The girl neither resisted nor called for help, and let Lin Guodong drag her towards the end of the alley.Along the way, they did not meet pedestrians.Lin Guodong indulged in the fragrance of the girl again.In the last tens of meters, he almost stuck his nose to the back of the girl's neck. Going out of the alley, there is a road running from north to south in front of you.Occasionally, a vehicle speeds past on the road.Lin Guodong had to concentrate for the time being, and tightly grasped the girl's left arm, and the knife moved from the girl's waist to her back. "Cross the road. If you dare to move, I'll stab you to death!" The girl straightened her back instinctively, and under his hold, she slowly crossed the road. The building stands by the side of the road.Lin Guodong dragged the girl and walked half a circle around the building, and soon found the entrance.Walking in, the wet and cold air hits the face, and the gravel and gravel can be felt under the feet.Lin Guodong wiped the rain off his face, looked around, and finally pointed to the rough concrete stairs ahead. "You, go up!" The girl looked at Lin Guodong quietly in the dark, and the other party was only a vague silhouette against the street lamps.Only the knife was shining.She suddenly wanted to run away, and even imagined seeing a large number of heavily armed police surrounding the building in the next second.However, the night remained silent.Nothing but a heavy rain and a man with a knife in front of him. The girl turned around and slowly climbed up the stairs obediently.Lin Guodong followed her and stepped up the steps step by step.The girl took out her phone from the grid again and turned on the recording function. The final hour is approaching, and she needs to be ready. Location sharing has ended. Wei Jiong stared blankly at the phone screen, just now, he lost Yue Xiaohui's position. The taxi screeches to a halt.Wei Jiong's head hit the front windshield.Without caring about rubbing the sore spot, he turned around and asked, "Why stop? Drive in!" "Here we are. Lane 102, Heishan Road." The driver pointed to the street sign on the side of the road, "This is a one-way street, so you can't drive in." The alley was dark and long, before Yue Xiaohui finished sharing the location, she walked westward in this alley.Find her one minute earlier, and she will have a higher chance of surviving. "Drive in!" Wei Jiong said eagerly, "I'll add money to you." "It's not about the money." The driver had already raised the headlights, and the meter creaked and printed the invoice. "How can I do my job without the points deduction?" Wei Jiong didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he threw down a hundred-yuan bill, jumped out of the car and ran into the alley. The rain is still falling and getting heavier.After Wei Jiong ran tens of meters, his head and face were covered with rain.He looked at the houses on both sides and quickened his pace. This couldn't be the place where Lin Guodong attacked, they should be deeper in the alley. At this time, a car came head-on.Wei Jiong's eyes were full of dazzling lights.He desperately opened his eyes wide, trying to see the appearance of the car and the passengers.If it was the old-fashioned Paladin off-road vehicle driven by Du Cheng, and Yue Xiaohui, who was safe and sound, sat in the passenger seat, that would be great. A Volkswagen Tiguan sped past him.At the same time, something on the ground was rattled by the churning air. Wei Jiong, who was extremely disappointed, felt his heart skip a beat. He took a few steps forward and finally saw that thing clearly. It was an ordinary plastic shopping bag with a few items in it.Wei Jiong picked up the plastic bag, opened it, and found that it was a box of soda crackers, a bottle of Coke and two packs of facial tissues.Flipping down, there was still a pack of cigarettes at the bottom of the bag. Zhongnanhai cigarettes with five milligrams of tar content. Wei Jiong's heart beat wildly.This is the cigarette brand that Yue Xiaohui likes.If this shopping bag really belonged to Yue Xiaohui, it could explain at least two things: first, she did pass this alley; second, she encountered some unexpected situation. In other words, she was hijacked by Lin Guodong right here. Wei Jiong's brain started to run fast: this alley is not suitable for the case, Yue Xiaohui must have been hijacked somewhere else.Judging from the time, they should not be far from here. He dropped the shopping bag and ran as fast as he could towards the end of the alley. A few minutes later, Wei Jiong had rushed out of Lane 102, Heishan Road, and Songshan Road was in front of him.Looking at the wide road and the sporadic passing vehicles, Wei Jiong had to make another choice. What if she was hijacked by Lin Guodong and got into a taxi? Wei Jiong hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed Du Cheng's number. "Hi, I'll be right there." As soon as the phone was connected, Du Cheng's anxious voice came out, "Where are you?" "I'm just at the entrance of the alley, so I didn't see them." Wei Jiong almost roared, "Can't you locate Yue Xiaohui's phone?" "Didn't see them?" Du Cheng became more anxious, "The location information shows that she is at the intersection of Lane 102 and Songshan Road." intersection? Wei Jiong held up his mobile phone and looked around in place.Bank of Communications.China Mobile Business Hall.Xilaishun Seafood Restaurant.Songshan Road Primary School... A dark building stands in front of you, like a huge monster crouching in the rain. "There is a building that is not yet finished." Wei Jiong shouted into the microphone, "I'll go up first, hurry up!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, gritted his teeth, and ran towards the giant beast. When she reached the 7th floor, the girl heard Lin Guodong whisper behind her: "Stop, go inside." The girl turned around obediently, and walked towards a large open space diagonally ahead.The architectural purpose of this building should be an office building, and the space is much larger than that of ordinary residential buildings.However, because it is in a state of being suspended for construction, the walls and ground are rough cement.The cold wind mixed with the rain, blowing in through the huge cavity where floor-to-ceiling windows should be installed.The night view of the city outside the building is unobstructed. Lin Guodong glanced around the open space, pointing to a wooden bench abandoned in the corner: "Bring it here." The girl complied.The wooden bench is used for construction, and it is simply made of wooden boards. It looks more like a wooden frame, covered with dried cement. Lin Guodong pointed the knife at the girl: "Take off your shirt, hurry up!" The girl's body trembled.She slowly unloaded her schoolbag and carefully placed it on the ground, aligning the mesh on the shoulder straps with the wooden stool.Then, she took off her down jacket and held it in her hand. "On a wooden bench." The girl seemed a little shy, holding on to the hem of her clothes and not letting go.Lin Guodong took a step forward, grabbed the down jacket, and spread it casually on the wooden bench. "Lie down!" The girl started to back away, the look of horror on her face even more so. "No……" Lin Guodong grabbed her arm, dragged her to the wooden bench, supported her back and moved her legs, and put the girl flat on the wooden bench.The girl's hands were covering her chest, her legs were tightly closed together, and she kept struggling. Lin Guodong was already out of breath, his eyes were red.He put the knife to the girl's neck.The sudden stabbing pain caused the girl to let out a small scream, and then her whole body became stiff and motionless. Lin Guodong half-folded on the girl, and pulled off the dark red sweater on the girl's upper body, revealing the black long-sleeved T-shirt inside.He looked at the towering chest that rose and fell violently, and pressed his face against it. Immediately, the familiar smell rushed into the nostrils and rushed straight to the forehead. sweet taste.The smell of betrayal.The taste of lust.The taste of ruthless killing. Lin Guodong's hot and humid breath sprayed on the girl's neck.At that moment, the growing fear in the girl's heart reached its peak.The string in my mind suddenly broke with a "bang".The courage and belief that had been supporting her had completely collapsed.All determinations and plans were thrown away by her.All she knew was that the man in her body had raped and killed four women.And her ending will be exactly the same as those women. Wei Jiong, where are you? Du Cheng, where are you? The girl's entire mind was occupied by fear.She curled up her legs, desperately pushed Lin Guodong away, and at the same time shouted desperately: "Help! Help!" When he was tens of meters away from the intersection of Lane 102 and Songshan Road, Du Chengcheng saw the building that Wei Jiong mentioned.It looked like it was an office building that was shut down in winter and would be rebuilt in spring.The exterior wall decoration has not yet been carried out, and the entire building is a square concrete box.It was pitch black in the glassless windows.Holding the steering wheel in his hands, Du Cheng searched for a parking spot and quickly looked at the dark windows, trying to find some light. The building is surrounded by a simple red brick wall, and there is a gap on the side near Songshan Road, which must be the place where workers and vehicles usually enter and exit.Du Cheng drove the car over while reaching for the satchel on the passenger seat.Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in his peripheral vision, and a huge black shadow loomed in it.Immediately, he felt his whole body fly to the right, and at the same time, a huge impact sounded in his ears. The sudden violent impact almost broke his neck, and his brain went blank at that moment.Amid the severe pain in his cervical spine, Du Cheng didn't realize until a few seconds later that a car had hit hard from the left side. He subconsciously turned his head to see that the front of a Honda CRV was firmly on the left side of the Paladin off-road vehicle.The engine was still roaring, and my car was being hit by the opponent a little bit into the wall on the right.Finally, the Paladin buggy was squeezed against the wall and could no longer move. Du Cheng was dizzy, startled and angry.The airbag on the driver's seat of the Honda CRV has been deployed, and the driver cannot be seen.However, Du Cheng felt that the car looked familiar, and a huge sense of foreboding suddenly struck his heart. The front hood of the Honda CRV has buckled, and clouds of steam are bubbling from the gaps.Suddenly, the driver's door opened, and a tall figure staggered down, rubbing his neck as he walked. Du Cheng's eyes widened suddenly. That person is Ma Jian. Du Cheng immediately realized the opponent's intention: he must also know that Lin Guodong was in this building, and the impact just now was to trap himself in the car.It is conceivable what Ma Jian will do next. In an instant, various emotions rushed into Du Cheng's heart.Fear, anger, worry, hatred.This made him lose the ability to organize words, and he could only stare at Ma Jian in a daze, while roaring like a trapped animal. Ma Jian just glanced at him, then pulled out a retractable baton, turned around and ran towards the building. His quick action brought Du Cheng back to his senses.He instinctively pushed the door, but found that the door could not be opened at all under the collision of the Honda CRV.He turned to look at the passenger seat again, and when he saw the brick wall outside the window, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​getting out of the car on the right side. Du Cheng unbuckled his seat belt, climbed onto the back seat with hands and feet, and reached out to open the rear door.Although the door was open, it was only a gap.The impact site chosen by Ma Jian was very accurate, causing the head of the Honda CRV to hit between the front and rear doors.It is absolutely impossible for Du Cheng to open the car door and get away. "Hold!" Du Cheng was furious.He fell back on the back seat, raised his feet, and kicked hard at the rear side window. As soon as he rushed into the building, Wei Jiong tripped over the rubble under his feet.He got up awkwardly, feeling pain in his knees and elbows.He didn't bother to check the injury, and after a hasty survey of the surrounding environment, he ran upstairs along the concrete steps. There is no one on the second floor.There is no one on the third floor. Wei Jiong ran panting like a cow.However, there was no sound around him, and no one could be seen.Did he find the wrong place, or did Yue Xiaohui have already been killed? There was also no one on the fourth floor. He couldn't run anymore, bent down, put his hands on his knees, and panted violently.After a night of running around, coupled with high mental tension, Wei Jiong's physical strength has been completely exhausted.He looked around, with the help of the faint light from the street lights outside the building, he could only distinguish the empty hall and those dark doorways. Where are you? After the breath calmed down a bit, the voice beside my ear also became clear.Suddenly, he heard faint fighting and cries for help from above his head.Wei Jiong held his breath all of a sudden, and his whole body trembled slightly. It was Yue Xiaohui's voice. Strength suddenly came to his body, and he ran upstairs. She's at! she is alive! When running past the platform, Wei Jiong caught a glimpse of a steel bar in the corner from the corner of his eye, and started to use it casually.Unexpectedly, when I pulled it, my hand felt very heavy. I looked again, and there was a piece of cement on the other end of the steel bar.He had no intention of looking for a more suitable weapon, and dragged the steel bar and ran upstairs. Lin Guodong was a little surprised by the girl's desperate struggle.He thought he could play with this frightened girl at will, but now he had to try his best to subdue her.In fact, Lin Guodong is not used to using a knife, he used to only use it to cut the bodies of those dead women.Therefore, during the tearing between the two, the girl's body was scratched in many places, and the sticky blood stained Lin Guodong's hands and face, which made him feel more and more anxious. Under the rage, the murderous intention suddenly arose.Lin Guodong's hand touched the girl's long hair, and he immediately grabbed it tightly and pulled it down forcefully.The girl's head was pulled aside, revealing her fair and long neck. Well, even with the blood gushing, it's an attractive body that's perfectly satisfying. Lin Guodong raised his knife... Suddenly, there was a roar in my ear, distant but clear. "stop!" Lin Guodong's hand stopped in the air, he turned his head subconsciously, and looked towards the stairs.However, there was no one there, only the sound of heavy footsteps and the regular crash of "plop, plop". Both Lin Guodong and the girl were stunned. A few seconds later, a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the seventh floor.Under the weak light, one can see that he is a boy in his early twenties, with a half hunched body and a steel bar in his hand. "Lin Guodong..." The boy's voice was mixed with violent panting, intermittently, "You...you let her go!" The boy took a step forward, dragging the steel bar in his hand on the ground, and the concrete blocks wrapped around one end of the steel bar rubbed against the ground. "Let her go!" Lin Guodong suddenly felt puzzled: how did he know my name? The boy took another step closer, and his outline became clearer.On a face covered with sweat and rain, a pair of eyes burning with anger and vigilance were shining brightly. "Wei Jiong..." The girl struggled again, crying to him for help, "Help me!" The boy gritted his teeth and tried to lift the steel bar. However, the huge cement block was only a few centimeters off the ground and fell heavily again.When the exhausted boy tried again, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.At the same time, a hand pushed him away. A taller figure appeared beside Wei Jiong.Wei Jiong thought that Du Cheng had arrived, but when he looked up, he saw the face of a strange man. Gray hair.A square face full of wrinkles.The corner of the man's mouth was tightly pursed, his eyes fixed on Lin Guodong, and he ordered Wei Jiong: "Go away!" The sudden confrontation made Lin Guodong in chaos.He instinctively grabbed the girl, put the tip of the knife against her neck, and slowly stepped back. "Don't come here, or I'll kill her!" Wei Jiong became anxious immediately.He had already adapted to the dim light in the hall, and at the same time, he noticed the bloodstains on Yue Xiaohui's body. "Don't be silly! Let her go!" The man's gaze shifted from Lin Guodong's body to the girl's neck, he stayed for a few seconds on the tip of the knife that had pierced the skin, and suddenly smiled. "You child, you are quite courageous." He took a step forward and stood where the light was relatively bright.Lin Guodong saw his face clearly, and suddenly realized that this man seemed familiar. "What else can you say, huh?" The man raised his hand halfway, then swung it down vigorously, and a retractable baton appeared in his hand, "Lin Guodong." Before the words were finished, the man had already pounced on him, his baton raised high. "Don't come here, I..." Lin Guodong was shocked, and with more force, the tip of the knife pierced the girl's neck.But the man was completely unmoved by his threats and the girl's screams of pain, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of Lin Guodong. Before he could react, the baton pierced through the air and slashed down with a whistling sound.Lin Guodong dodged subconsciously, and the baton hit him hard on the shoulder. In a burst of pain, Lin Guodong suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap. The girl was not a prey he encountered by chance, but a decoy, and it was Lin Guodong himself who was about to be preyed upon.Moreover, he recognized that man as one of the police officers who investigated Xu Mingliang's case.Then, his purpose was not to rescue this girl at all, but to put himself to death! In the blink of an eye, the baton hit the head again. Lin Guodong tried his best to hide behind the girl, retreating again and again.The man seemed to have no scruples about accidentally injuring the girl, and still hit Lin Guodong on the head from various angles.Amidst the girl's screams and the continuous pain coming from her body, Lin Guodong's sense of fear became more and more intense. Blood had flowed from his head, covering one of his eyes.While dodging, Lin Guodong's other eye suddenly felt a bright light, and at the same time, cold wind blew on his face. They had wrestled to the window. Suddenly, the deep despair inspired the instinct to survive.The girl can no longer serve as a cover, but instead is a burden.Since you want me to die, you might as well die together.You have batons, I have knives.Even if you die, you have to take a back! Lin Guodong roared and pushed the girl on the shoulder.The girl's body immediately lost her balance. After staggering a bit, her right foot stumbled on the concrete platform less than 20 centimeters high by the window, and her whole body leaned dangerously towards the night sky outside the window. In an instant, everyone present seemed to be frozen. The man's hand was raised in the air, and the black baton was ready to go.His head was turned out of the window, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was open... Wei Jiong looked terrified, his upper body leaned forward, his legs were tense, and his right hand stretched forward... The girl raised her head halfway, her long hair fluttering wildly on the night curtain.Her hands were grasping in vain before her eyes, as if trying to grab something.Because she knew that behind her was a huge void and a height of more than twenty meters. Time resumed its flow. The girl had only time to let out a scream before falling out of the window. The man's mind went blank, and it seemed that all the blood in his body was concentrated in his legs - he threw away the baton, turned and rushed to the window. The girl's long hair had disappeared into the window, leaving only a waving hand in front of her eyes.The man pedaled hard, and the whole person flew over sideways.At the same time, his right hand stretched out towards that hand. The moment he pinched his wrist, the man instinctively folded his five fingers together and firmly grasped that slender hand.Immediately, he felt a strong pain in his chest—his upper body slammed into the cement platform of the window. As soon as he caught his hand, the man also threw himself by the window.He quickly spread his legs and tried his best to hook the rough concrete floor with the toes of his shoes.Even so, he was still dragged out by a distance of about half a meter, and his entire upper body lay prone on the concrete platform. However, he caught the girl who fell from the building! All the action happens in an instant.Wei Jiong didn't know if Yue Xiaohui had fallen.He tried his best to run to the window, only the man lying on the ground and the night sky dotted with street lights outside the window in front of him.Suddenly, a flying black shadow appeared in the line of sight.Immediately, he felt a heavy blow to his forehead. Amid the sound of cracking planks and the sudden dizziness, Wei Jiong fell on his back with a salty taste in his mouth. The action of throwing the wooden stool seemed to consume all of Lin Guodong's energy.He bent down, took a few breaths, straightened up, and laughed. He originally wanted to fight to the death with the opponent.Unexpectedly, the stupid policeman ran to rescue the girl who fell from the building first.Now, both he and the girl were unable to move by the window, and the boy was also knocked to the ground - the situation was already under Lin Guodong's control.Next, just get rid of them one by one. Lin Guodong, with blood all over his face, clenched his sharp knife and walked towards the man lying on the window step by step.In the blood-smeared eye, there was a cold light. Lin Guodong's laughter and the rustling footsteps behind him brought the man back to his senses.He knew very well that his whole body was exposed to the opponent's knife.But he couldn't do anything, any movement could cause both himself and the girl to fall down the stairs. Time is running out, but there are only two choices: one, pull the girl up as soon as possible, once she is safe, it is more than enough to deal with Lin Guodong; the other... The girl suspended in mid-air is teetering.The survival instinct made her desperately pull up the man's sleeve.She didn't dare to look down, let alone imagine how hard the ground was twenty meters below. Her right wrist was firmly grasped by the man.The girl's legs kicked and twisted in the air, and she tried to reach her left hand through the air, trying to make herself safer. Above her, half of the man's body and flushed face could be seen.The man stretched out his left hand, trying to grab the girl's hand.However, the fingers of both parties touched several times, but they still couldn't hold tightly. Suddenly, the girl who had been writhing in the air stopped.Her eyes were wide open, staring straight at the man's oblique rear. "Hurry up! Hurry up!" The girl struggled again, "He...he is behind you!" "Shut up!" The man knew something was wrong, his face turned pale, and his left hand was still trying to grab the girl's hand. The girl was so frightened that she couldn't be more frightened. She watched Lin Guodong standing at the window, condescendingly examining the man who was still working hard, and waved the sharp knife in his hand high. After a dazzling cold light, the man's body suddenly paused.Immediately, his eyes widened, and the muscles on his face trembled violently. "Let go!" The girl finally shouted, "Let go!" That's the second option.However, he can't. The man looked straight at the girl, his face already twisted.He moved his left hand to the girl's right wrist and held it firmly. Another cold light. The shattering sound of the knife point piercing the bone was very clear in the night sky.Lin Guodong looked at the half-pierced knife, and seemed very dissatisfied with himself.He tried to pull out the knife, but the knife stuck in the bone fragments was hard to shake.He thought for a while, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and pressed down hard. Every time it is pressed, the man's body will tremble.He maintained the original posture, and firmly fixed the girl's wrist to the window with both hands.However, his face became paler and paler. The girl is suspended in the air.She was powerless to struggle, and just stared blankly at the man's gradually hollow eyes.Suddenly, a few drops of hot and sticky liquid fell on her face.At the same time, she saw a large stream of blood gushing from under the man, running down the gap between his chest and the concrete platform. "Let go, let go quickly." The girl cried out, shaking those big hands like iron tongs weakly, "Don't die, let go..." The man couldn't think anymore, he looked at the girl's crying face, and there was only one thought left in his mind: you, you can't fall. However, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and his consciousness gradually drifted away from him along with the blood gushing out continuously.He concentrated all the remaining strength on his hands, and at the same time, with the last breath, he shouted: "Chengzi——" Du Cheng, who had already climbed to the fourth floor, was shaken all over. He raised his eyes and looked upstairs, his face turned pale.Immediately, he ran up. Wei Jiong barely opened his eyes, everything in front of him was still spinning.A few seconds later, his eyes were refocused, and the scene in the window made his pupils shrink instantly. The man was still crouching by the window, motionless.Lin Guodong was half-kneeling beside him, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, trying to insert the knife into the man's back. At the same time, Yue Xiaohui's indistinct cries came from the cold wind. "Ah—" Wei Jiong let out a cry of surprise and fear.He got up, picked up a piece of wood, and rushed towards Lin Guodong. The shout startled Lin Guodong.He turned his head and stood up quickly.Wei Jiong had already rushed in front of him, and with all his strength he swung the wooden plank and hit him on the head.Lin Guodong dodged in a hurry.Wei Jiong missed a hit and lost his balance.Lin Guodong saw the opportunity and kicked him hard on the lower back. Wei Jiong fell to the ground in embarrassment, the corners of his mouth suddenly bleeding profusely.He just turned over when Lin Guodong kicked him in the face again. "You want to kill me!" Lin Guodong roared hysterically, "Don't even think about it!" Covered in blood and dust, he looked like a demon, with crazy killing intent flashing in his eyes.He glanced around, picked up the steel bar, pointed the cement block on the steel bar at Wei Jiong's head, which was struggling to get up, and lifted it high... "Lin Guodong!" Another shout sounded at the stairs.Lin Guodong trembled for a moment, followed the sound, and saw a man rushing towards him from the darkness. "Damn it!" Seeing that someone came to support him again, Lin Guodong had no intention of fighting.He picked up the steel bar and threw it at the man, then turned and ran to the other side of the stairs. Du Cheng dodged to avoid the flying steel bars, and raised his foot to chase Lin Guodong.After running a few steps, he heard a figure on the ground shouting to him: "Stop chasing, first... save people first!" Only then did Du Cheng notice Wei Jiong who was kneeling and crawling on the ground.The latter's head and face were covered with blood and dust. Wei Jiong pointed to the window, his voice completely hoarse: "Quick, he...he and Yue Xiaohui..." At this moment, Du Cheng saw Ma Jian lying motionless by the window. And the sharp knife with almost no handle on his back. Despite the joint efforts of the two, Du Cheng and Wei Jiong still took a lot of effort to drag Yue Xiaohui up.As soon as the girl was out of danger, she didn't check her injuries immediately, but rushed to Ma Jianjian, crying and shaking his body again and again. Ma Jian's face was pale and his lips were gray.However, his hands were still firmly clamped on Yue Xiaohui's wrist. Du Cheng hugged Ma Jian horizontally, and his tentacles were covered with blood that had soaked his clothes.He turned to Wei Jiong and shouted, "Call 120, hurry up!" Wei Jiong responded.Du Cheng turned to Yue Xiaohui again: "What the hell is going on?" The girl was so crying that she couldn't speak.She knelt on the ground, covering her face with her left hand, while Ma Jian held her right hand tightly. Du Cheng gritted his teeth and patted Ma Jian's face: "Ma Jian, Ma Jian, wake up!" Ma Jian's head shook weakly with his slapping.A few seconds later, his eyes slowly opened, and he looked straight at Du Cheng, as if he was trying to tell who he was. "Chengzi..." Ma Jian's expression relaxed, "You're finally here..." "I'm here." Du Cheng hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, everyone is fine." Ma Jian turned his head slowly, and finally turned his gaze to Yue Xiaohui who kept crying. The hands that had been tightly clenched all of a sudden loosened. "It's fine." His voice was very weak, "It's fine..." Du Cheng felt that Ma Jian's body was getting heavier and heavier.At the same time, his body temperature was dropping rapidly.A strong sense of fear came to his heart, Du Cheng could only hug Ma Jian tightly, comforting him indiscriminately. "You'll be fine... definitely not, the ambulance will be here soon..." Ma Jian smiled softly: "I'm afraid this time it won't be a fucking success..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently.Dense blood spots sprayed on Du Cheng's body and face.He didn't wipe or check, but he used more force in his hands, holding Ma Jian's body that was getting colder and colder, and looking helplessly at the darker night outside the window. "I'm so fucking stupid... I originally planned to..." Ma Jian stopped coughing, he slowly raised a hand and grabbed Du Cheng's collar, "Actually, I thought about it later, Even if I went to Lin Guodong's house that night, I would not let that girl die...do you believe it?" Du Cheng lowered his head, and Ma Jian was blurred in his vision.He nodded: "I believe." "Hey." Ma Jian smiled, let go of his collar, and patted Du Cheng's shoulder, "Thank you, old man." That hand dropped powerlessly. At this moment, the red and blue police lights began to flash downstairs.The sound of hurried footsteps sounded in this building.Soon, Zhang Zhenliang rushed into the lobby on the 7th floor with a large number of police officers.In the midst of shouts, orders and the flickering flashlight, Du Cheng sat motionless on the ground, turning a blind eye to everything around him and not hearing anything. He just hugged his old friend's stiff body and quietly watched the first heavy rain this spring.
