Chapter 9 Chapter 9: Horror

Uda Kenjiro's house is in the new district, close to the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, but because the surrounding areas are still under development, the location is particularly secluded, and it is deserted at night, with sparse lights.He hurried home in a taxi, and when he arrived at the door, he couldn't help being startled, only to see a pool of red blood on the ground, and a pungent fishy smell came to his nostrils. "Chen Jia!" Uda Kenjiro was worried about his wife's safety, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he slammed on the door twice. There was no response from the house.Kenjiro Uda frantically took out the key from his body, trying to open the door, but the door was locked again.

Did something really happen?Uda Kenjiro's heart rose to his throat.He tapped the door several times in a row and called his wife's name loudly, but there was still no sound in the house. Uda Kenjiro was heartbroken and decided to break the window, but when he was about to break the window and enter, the door opened with a "squeak". The person who opened the door was Uda Kenjiro's wife Chen Jia. She was covered in blood and stood nervously at the door with a kitchen knife in her hand. "Husband..." Chen Jia saw that her husband was indeed outside the door, and the knife in her hand immediately fell to the ground, and the man flew into Uda Kenjiro's arms like a rabbit, and began to cry.

"You... what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Uda Kenjiro looked his wife up and down, but found that she was not injured except for blood. Chen Jia didn't speak, but cried aggrievedly in Uda Kenjiro's arms. "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." Uda Kenjiro hugged his wife, softly comforted her, and helped her into the room. "You drink a cup of hot water first." Uda Kenjiro poured a cup of warm water and handed it to his wife. After Chen Jia drank water, she slowly regained her composure. "Why didn't you make a sound just now? What happened? Why are there so many blood stains?" Uda Kenjiro put his arms around Chen Jia, and finally asked the question in his heart.

Chen Jia recalled the horrible scene just now, and couldn't help fighting a cold war... After Chen Jia had dinner with her mother, Zhao Chunyan cleaned up the dishes, changed her clothes, and went out by car to play mahjong in the chess and card room.She was alone at home with nothing to do, so she lay on the sofa, turned on the TV, and continued to watch a Korean drama she liked.About ten o'clock, someone knocked on the door suddenly. "Mom, why did you come back so early..." Chen Jia thought it was Zhao Chunyan who came back, but when he opened the door, there was nothing outside, and a gust of cool wind blew, making people shiver uncontrollably.

"Did you hear wrong?" Chen Jia looked around again, it was deserted and there was no one. After closing the door, Chen Jia didn't care, and continued to watch TV, but within two minutes, there was another knock on the door. Chen Jia could hear clearly this time, and quickly shouted out the door: "Who is it?" The knock on the door stopped, and there was no other movement except the sound of the TV in the room. Could it be that the children of some family are playing a prank?But just as she had such an idea, the knock on the door rang again. "Boom...boom...boom..." One sound followed another, unhurriedly.

Chen Jia felt a chill in her heart, she didn't dare to open the door rashly, but approached the door cautiously, but the person who knocked seemed to know the situation inside the house well, the moment Chen Jia walked to the door, there was a knocking sound. It stopped abruptly. Chen Jia looked out through the peephole on the door. Under the dim street lights, the place was empty, but there was still no one there. She started to get a little scared, and quickly turned around and picked up her mobile phone to make a call to Kenjiro Uda. But as soon as the words fell, the door behind her was opened with a "snap", a pair of strong hands hugged her from behind, and at the same time dragged her out of the door forcefully.

For this sudden attack, Chen Jia was completely unprepared both psychologically and physically, and was completely taken aback for a while.However, after a short period of shock, she immediately tried to struggle and shout, but the person who attacked her quickly covered her mouth, and the disparity in strength made her resistance meaningless.She tried to turn her head to look at her attacker, but the hand that was holding her neck made her almost suffocate, and she couldn't move at all. Just when she was terrified, she suddenly felt a kind of sticky liquid flowing down her head, flowing down the tip of her hair, sliding across her forehead, and dripping down in front of her eyes...

The blood was red, and it seemed that there was still warm blood falling from top to bottom like a shower, blurring his eyes and soaking through his clothes. Fear rose to the extreme at this moment, and Chen Jia's instinct to survive made her unleash extraordinary strength. She twisted her head recklessly, and finally found a chance to bite the attacker's wrist fiercely, followed He broke free, rushed into the room, and immediately closed the door with all his might, locked it, and fastened the chain. Sweat, tears and blood were intertwined, Chen Jia was panting, and slipped against the door exhaustedly and fell to the ground...

With tears streaming down her face, Chen Jia told the story intermittently. "Honey, I'm so scared, should we call the police?" "Don't call the police for now, I will ask my former colleagues to investigate, and don't tell Mom, so as not to scare her, if you are afraid, we will move to the city, anyway, the lease of this house is up." Uda Kenjiro was also a little scared, why would someone come to the house to threaten, who did it, and what is the purpose?But the other party didn't seem to be here to hurt anyone, otherwise Chen Jia would not be unharmed, but for the safety of his family, he decided to find a safer place to live first.

Chen Jia has always been very seldom assertive. When she heard that she could move, she nodded quickly. She really didn't dare to live here anymore. "Okay, you go take a shower first, I'll clean up the room." Kenjiro Uda comforted his wife again, then opened the door and began to clean up the blood stains at the door. But when he bent down, he found that there was a white card in the corner of the door, and there were a few drops of blood on the card, which looked particularly glaring. Kenjiro Uda took out a tissue from his pocket, carefully picked up the card, and wrote a line of small characters on the back of the card:

Don't get close to Lan Yu, or the next blood will be your family's! After reading the words on the card, Kenjiro Uda's hands felt numb, and he couldn't help shaking, the card fell to the ground like a leaf. Uda Kenjiro's heart beat faster, he looked around in a panic, then quickly picked up the card and tore it to pieces.He felt that he was in a very embarrassing situation. He was not afraid of the threat of this mysterious man, but he didn't know how to deal with this sudden relationship and how to face his wife. At this moment, he secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he must end this impossible relationship. Zhang qingyang acted quickly, got clues, and immediately arranged for personnel to investigate Lu Shan's details. Soon, a piece of personal information about Lu Shan appeared on his desktop, but before he had time to read it, Li Xinjie who was on the side had already said by heart: "Lu Shan, male, aged 31, graduated from Green City University in 2000, after graduation He entered the Green City Customs office, left suddenly a year ago, and was admitted to Beijing Tianlun University as a postgraduate student." "Your grades should be good when you were studying, and you have grasped the key points." Zhang qingyang said while flipping through the materials. "Accordingly, this Lu Shan should be studying in Beijing now, how could he be involved in the murder?" Li Xinjie ignored Zhang Xiaotian's ridicule and expressed her doubts. "So what if you're in Beijing? If you really want to commit crimes, you can come back." Zhang qingyang was a little dismissive of her thoughts. "Do you need me to contact the police in Beijing to help us investigate?" Li Xinjie was dissatisfied in her heart, but she still asked. "Just be on the safe side. It's better for you to go there yourself and find out exactly where Lu Shan was when the two murders happened." Zhang qingyang ordered cautiously. "The best meaning is must, right?" Li Xinjie was 100% unwilling to go to Beijing. Zhang qingyang nodded without doubt. The boss had already issued an order, and Li Xinjie knew that she was inevitable, but she still had some doubts in her heart, so she continued to ask: "A letter, and it was written in a mess, why do you think he is suspicious? Even if it is Love kills, how to explain Guo Yuan's death?" "Bold assumptions, careful verification, this is the most basic principle of solving crimes, didn't you learn it in the police academy?" Zhang qingyang moved his buttocks, changed his sitting position, and then continued: "and I feel that there is something between these people The same." "Captain, don't be so secretive, can you be more direct." Zhang qingyang looked at li xinjie, as if a teacher looked at a student who failed to live up to expectations. "The first deceased, Deputy Mayor Qin, was mainly in charge of Green City's foreign economic and trade work, and was also in charge of the Green City Free Trade Zone; the second deceased, Guo Yuan, was a customs officer at the Green City Customs, and his place of work was also in the Free Trade Zone. Kenjiro Uda, who was suddenly expelled, was also in the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, and Lu Shan also worked in the customs before leaving. Is it just a coincidence that these people are more or less related to the customs?” "Customs? Bonded area? If you follow your reasoning, then these two murders are not as simple as love murders." Li Xinjie couldn't help but click her tongue when she thought of the key point. "Everything is just conjecture right now. What's going on still needs to be investigated." Zhang qingyang himself was in a state of turmoil. If the case was not a simple murder of love, there might be something unimaginable hidden behind the scenes. "Understood, I will go to Beijing immediately." Li Xinjie's expression also became serious. It took only two days for Kenjiro Uda to move. Chen Jia absolutely supported it, and Zhao Chunyan was also very happy. After all, living in the center of the city makes life and entertainment much more convenient.Of course, the leader of the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau also secretly helped a lot to make it so fast.After settling down at home, he began to devote himself to his new job in a decent manner. However, it was frustrating that he had no chance to get in touch with the company's core business in the general department, and the investigation work was full of difficulties. Since the family was harassed that night, Uda Kenjiro also deliberately avoided meeting Lan Yu. Although this was an extremely painful decision for him, he was responsible for his wife, and for Lan Yu, he really loved her Since I can't end this marriage, continuing to associate with her secretly will undoubtedly be a great harm to her. Lan Yu also returned to school. The busy teaching tasks and various activities and performances left her with little time to think about feelings. Although she also felt that Uda Kenjiro was avoiding herself on purpose, she did not go to the school again. Obsessive entanglement, perhaps ending like this, is not a good thing. Everything seems to have calmed down, except for the two murders that have not yet been solved, from time to time there is an inexplicable anxiety in people's hearts. Baida Cinema is located on the fourth floor of the Green City Shopping Center. This area is crowded with people no matter it is a holiday or a normal day.Kenjiro Uda wandered around the shopping center alone. At about 7:20, he went up to the fourth floor and bought a movie ticket for 7:30.The movie theater is showing a romantic comedy, and most of the audience are couples. His entry alone is a bit eye-catching.Fortunately, there are not many people watching the movie, and Kenjiro Uda's seat is in the last row, and there are no people around him, so it won't be an eyesore.The auditorium quickly darkened, and the movie screen slowly appeared on the screen. Uda Kenjiro seemed a little absent-minded, his eyes were always looking left and right, and he would look at his watch from time to time, not paying any attention to the content of the movie.The movie was shown for about ten minutes, and two more people walked in at the entrance of the auditorium. Although it was pitch black, they seemed to have known the location of Kenjiro Uda for a long time. Take the position next to Uda Kenjiro. "Two leaders, you really know how to choose positions." Uda Kenjiro sighed sincerely. The reason why he came to the cinema today was because two special commissioners from the Anti-smuggling Bureau of the General Administration arranged for him to meet here. On his right, sat the fat Tan Feng. He said with a smile, "We also learned this from movies." "How's the progress of the investigation?" Tang Guolin on the other side still had a serious face. "I was actually doing some odd jobs in the general affairs department, and I couldn't get in touch with the business at all. I'm afraid it will take some time." Kenjiro Uda said with some frustration. "You need to hurry up. The death of Qin Shou and Guo Yuan shows that they have discovered that we are investigating and will definitely try their best to destroy the evidence of smuggling." "I understand, but I must first gain Zhou Jun's trust." "We should be able to help with this." Tan Feng said confidently. "Oh, how?" Uda Kenjiro asked curiously. "That's why we asked you to come this time." Tan Feng then whispered in his ear. After listening to this, Kenjiro Uda showed a rare smile. The annual art festival of Green City is huge in scale and quite influential both at home and abroad, especially the opening party of the art festival is dazzling and full of stars.Of course, leaders at all levels in the city will also attend the party, give speeches, and then express condolences to the performers.And Lan Yu will perform a solo dance on behalf of the Green City Art Academy at the opening party. She cherishes this opportunity very much and rehearses in the practice room day and night every day. In the constant soaring, leaping, and spinning, she can forget the past, the present, and even herself. She is like a fish swimming in the sea, or an eagle hovering in the sky thousands of miles high, free and unrestrained.She is a true dancer, a beautiful elf who blends into the dance. But when the dance is over, when the music stops, her heart will begin to ache faintly, not because of the past suffering, nor because of being hurt in the past, but because she loves someone but cannot love.She used to think that love needs time to accumulate, but it took her five years to become more and more indifferent to that man until he betrayed him.After that, she thought that love was a kind of entrustment, a stable relationship, so she entrusted her happiness to a man she thought loved her very much, and then married and had children like all other women, but the reality was cruel again cheated on her.Afterwards, she believed that there was no love in the world, it was all a deceptive trick in movies and novels.It wasn't until she met Kenjiro Uda that she realized that love is actually very simple, and there is no reason, or even completely illogical, but it was just the first meeting of eyes, and she was doomed that she might never forget this person again in her life.That kind of feeling, that kind of accident, can't be understood by others, and science can't explain it, but I can clearly feel it. On the first two days of the opening night of the art festival, Lan Yu sent a ticket to Kenjiro Uda.She didn't know if he would receive it, if he would come, but she expected, expected him to appear.
