Chapter 11 The Nonexistent Floor
The next morning, in Xiaofeng's apartment, a couple who got up early to work came to the elevator and pressed the button. When the elevator rose to their floor, when the door slowly opened, the one that appeared in front of them was...
A female corpse with a distorted face!
The police quickly arrived at the scene for investigation and quickly determined that she was suffocated to death. The marks on her neck clearly indicate that this was murder. = full = small = small = say = net = net =
Yue Zhen was awakened by a call from the criminal investigation team leader Fang Huai in his sleep.
"Mr. Duan? That's right. Your college classmate, Miss Zhou Feng, was killed. We want to ask you to assist us in the investigation..."
The rain seemed to pour down with his sadness.
The microphone fell on the floor in an instant, and looked at the walls around with empty eyes. After a long time, he felt some warm liquid flowing down his cheeks. His hands were tightly grasping the corners of the quilt, and his heart seemed to be torn apart in an instant. Although he had expected this to be the case, he still couldn't stand it when it came. He had clearly said that he would protect Xiao Feng... but in the end he did nothing.
"You said it was Room 401 opposite your friend's apartment? Are there anyone monitoring you?"
"Yes... Xiaofeng went to my friend's house yesterday, and in the window opposite, he saw a weird man looking here with a telescope. He was probably the prisoner... Yes, it must be him..."
"I understand. Please sign this record. We will conduct an investigation. Please rest assured, we will investigate more."
Yue really doesn't know how much time he has.
Xiaofeng's parents also knew him, and when he came to Xiaofeng's house to organize the relics with them, he was also entertained. Her parents were already crying, and their eyes were swollen like walnuts.
"Xiao Feng...How could she die like this? She is so nice, obedient and sensible, why was she killed... Why is this happening..."
Xiaofeng's mother's voice began to become hoarse, and her tone continued to tremble. She was holding a bright red jacket in her hand and said intermittently: "This... this is Xiaofeng's favorite dress during her lifetime... Now, she...she...she has no chance to wear it again..."
Based on Yue Zhen's confession, the police went to Room 401 to the apartment opposite Luo Guangming, and some policemen went to Luo Guangming to verify the situation.
The police received testimony from the administrator of the apartment where Luo Guangming lived that Duan Yuezhen and Zhou Feng did come last night. However, after coming to his doorstep, no one came to open the door.
"The administrator said he had never been out?"
"It's strange..."
The police then knocked on the door and shouted: "Is it Luo Guangming? We are policemen, please open the door!"
Even so, there was no reaction, and the police began to feel something was wrong. Because according to Duan Yuezhen's confession, if there was really someone in the apartment opposite to monitor them with a telescope, then Luo Guangming might have some danger. So he went downstairs to call the administrator up and opened the door with the backup key.
The police rushed into the room, continued to shout Luo Guangming's name, and began to search everywhere. At this time, a policeman suddenly ran out of the study and said, "Come on!"
When they gathered at the entrance of the study, they saw a person lying in front of the window. His eyes were already turning white, holding a telescope in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other hand.
A policeman stepped forward to check, shook his head, and said, "It's no longer helpful."
After Duan Yuezhen sorted out Xiaofeng's relics, he said to Xiaofeng's parents: "This red jacket... might as well give it to me. I think you may feel sad when you see it, so let it go to me...please..."
Seeing his sincere and painful expression, the two elders also shed tears. The pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man is heartbroken. Seeing this young man so affectionate about his daughter, there is no reason why he is not satisfied.
Just as Yue Zhen was about to take over the clothes, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was called by Captain Fang.
"Mr. Duan Yuezhen, why do you lie to us? Don't you know that giving perjury is illegal?"
Yue really felt a little nervous. He said that someone was lying with a telescope to monitor them, but could he tell the truth? Who would believe that the female ghost in the painting would come to reality?
"Police officer, I..."
"We checked it! Because the number of taboo 4 is taboo, when we built that apartment, it was originally the 4th floor, and it jumped directly to the 5th floor, so Room 401 did not exist at all! Of course, it is also possible that you don't know that, but it was originally the 5th floor. We checked it. There was only a blind old man living in the family facing Mr. Luo Guangming. Do you think he was monitoring you with a telescope? And we also asked him, he said that he lived alone and no one came to visit the house all year round... In addition, I also want to tell you that your good friend Luo Guangming is dead. When he died, he held a knife and a telescope... I said, have you turned everything back?"
Yue was really shocked...
He remembered that Guangming had lived in that apartment for about three years. In the past, he had never noticed the window of the apartment facing his study. When he told himself that when he saw the room opposite with a telescope, he didn't think much about it.
But...If there was actually a blind man living there, why did Guangming deceive himself that no one lived there? And he also said that he saw bookshelf and desk in the study, which just appeared a few days ago.
No... Guangming didn't lie. What he saw was the 4th floor that didn't exist at all. The existence of the uninhabited Room 401 in his mind was a false memory generated by the confusion of that female ghost.
So...what about Mr. Yi and Miss Ren? Are they now trapped in the 4th floor that does not exist at all?
If this assumption is true, then everything Guangming saw with a telescope... was also in that non-existent floor! And Guangming has also been killed now...
He's the only one left...
That female ghost will never let him go...
Originally, he had a glimmer of hope and asked the police to go to Room 401 to find Mr. Yi and Miss Ren, so that he could find the last glimmer of life. But now it is impossible, because he cannot enter the non-existent 4th floor to find the two of them. Maybe they are dead. In short, he must face everything alone next.
Of course, he entered the police station and was questioned.
"Well... Simply put, your two friends, Luo Guangming and Zhou Feng, are both dead, and you gave us fake testimony, so we have to doubt you. According to the confessions of some people in your internship unit, your behavior these days is also very strange. We hope you will tell the truth."
"You mean I killed them?"
"We just hope you assist in the investigation as much as possible."
Yue Zhen was holding a fire in his heart at this moment, and three people died in a row, one of them was the person he loved deeply, and he himself would face the desperate situation of death at any time. He could no longer remain rational.
"I didn't kill anyone! How could I kill Xiaofeng! You pig policemen, you know nothing! Let me tell you, they were all killed by ghosts! Don't believe it? You guys! I haven't killed anyone! No!"
Duan Yue was almost going crazy. If it weren't for the police who forced him to hold him down, he would have done something that even he could not imagine.
Looking at him becoming more and more excited behind the double-sided mirror, Fang Huai and vice captain Zhao Ying both felt that Duan Yue must have known something, but he was so excited that he could not ask anything at all.
"Are the report of the cause of death coming out?"
"Well," Zhao Ying nodded and said, "Luo Guangming died of heart paralysis. There seems to be no sign of killing him, but holding a knife when he died makes people feel a little problem, and his death is also very miserable, so it should not be a simple natural death. As for Zhou Feng, she was strangled and there are also signs of incontinence on her body, which is obviously a part of killing him. I just don't quite understand why he chose to start in the elevator. After all, someone may come to take the elevator at any time."
"I also feel a little strange. And why did Duan Yue really say such a lie that would be exposed in one go? It's meaningless... Should I arrange a mental appraisal for him? He just said that it was a ghost who killed someone, maybe it wasn't normal? Well, I'll detain him for a while now, and then try to find someone he knows to investigate."
"This... his parents are outside and have already asked for bail. After all, there is no definite evidence yet..."
When he was released from the police station on bail, Yuezhen's parents asked him with concern what was going on recently, but he never said a word. Even if his parents told them the truth, it would be useless.
He deeply understood that supernatural things like supernatural cannot be used by outsiders like him, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed. Now, not only himself, but also three friends... even if he regrets it, it will be useless.
Yes, it's useless...
He doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to die anyway.
At night, a man shrank in the quilt, hugging the red coat tightly, and couldn't sleep anyway. Although the lights were turned on in the room, he also listened to music with headphones, and even turned the volume to the loudest, he still couldn't dispel fear. He knew that "she" would come to him, but...where would she come from?
