Zhou Ze was afraid of trouble. He was really afraid of trouble. However, this did not mean that he would foolishly cover his eyes with the two leaves and pretend not to see anything after something was pointed at him.
Xu Qinglang was stunned when he saw that Zhou Ze's expression had become so serious after he said those words. He subconsciously asked,
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Ze shook his head. "Nothing."
"Then I'll go up first?"
"Okay."
Xu Qinglang went up and looked back three times with every step. Instinctively, he felt that something was wrong. However, since Zhou Ze was unwilling to share it with him, he did not force it. Everyone had their own little secrets and their own plans.
"What if you're serious?"
Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze with a faint smile.
Zhou Ze was also looking at Tang Shi. He shook the cigarette ash in his hand and said,
"Why are you investigating me?"
"I told you, it's because I'm curious."
Tang Shi took the initiative to walk to the bar counter and closed the distance between her and Zhou Ze. At the same time, her fingertips slid on the bar counter. "Do you know, you're different from us? Really different."
"You've said this before because I've never really experienced hell, and you guys have all been tortured."
"No, this matter is not that simple. That person and I were lucky enough to escape after experiencing the great terror of hell. As for you, you were able to escape after just walking on the road to hell.
Do you know..,
One thing, one experience..,
Enough to completely change a person.
For example, every time that person and I talked about the word 'hell', our hearts would subconsciously tremble, because the word 'hell' and all the images it contained were all great terror that was imprinted in our hearts.
Even though we all 'came back to life', our personalities and behaviors have changed greatly because of this.
You're different. You just went for an outing in hell and came back.
That's why you can sit at the small table with that police officer and talk about hell with a smile. "
"So, what does it mean? What else did you find out?"
The truck driver who killed him with his car was dead,
Xu Le's cousin, who had helped Xu Le buy a murder weapon to kill him, was also dead,
The two of them died together in a short period of time
Ordinary people might not link the deaths of these two people together, but to Zhou Ze, this matter was very unusual.
Xu Le died and his body was given to him,
The driver was dead.
My cousin is also dead.
All the people who had been involved in this matter were dead.
Was there really such a coincidence?
"We belong to this world's different kind. We are even different from ghost messengers. We are stowaways, and you are a different kind of different kind.
We're different. "
"Get to the point," Zhou Ze knocked on the blackboard.
"Have you ever doubted that your death and rebirth were not an accident?"
Tang Shi lowered her voice and asked slowly.
"Think about it carefully. Are there any details that you have overlooked before?"
…
"They're coming after me. They've found me …"
The old man's fingernails pierced into his own arms, and the old man's final smile of relief.
At the traffic light, his car had just left.
A large truck ran a red light and drove off.
It charged straight at him.
The light of the crematorium and the blazing heat;
The numbness and desolation on the road to hell.
The Faceless Woman's roars were filled with indignation.
The black nails on his fingertips.
In a daze, he swayed on the side of the road.
A man in a hoodie ran out of the bookstore.
He killed Xu Le with a baseball bat.
Then, he entered Xu Le's body.
…
Zhou Ze slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.
The person who killed Xu Le.
What happened to him after he called the police?
Zhou Ze had completely forgotten about it.
He had been going back and forth between the bookstore and Doctor Lin. He understood Xu Le's death and his own "Magpie's nest" as a form of karma and retribution.
In another sense, the heavens had eyes.
However, since the old man who was sent to the hospital to be resuscitated had stabbed his fingernails into his arm on purpose.
The driver of the truck who ran the red light and killed him had done it on purpose.
So many people had done it on purpose.
Then …
The man who had explained himself as being hot-headed and ready to rob some money and hit Xu Le to death with a baseball bat.
Was he …
Or could he have done it on purpose?
If he did it on purpose …
It also meant that from his own death to his own life.
This line …
It was all thought to have been designed. He was like a toy racing car on a toy racetrack. He looked like he was going as fast as lightning, but in reality, he was just following a set track.
"It looks like you've thought of something."
Tang Shi put another piece of White Rabbit Candy into her mouth.
Zhou Ze picked up the phone and prepared to call the police station. The last time he had reported the case, he had even gone to the police station to make a statement. Back then, he had met Doctor Lin for the first time in the police station.
The policewoman brought Doctor Lin to her and said, "Your wife is here to take you away."
Zhou Ze was in a daze for a while.
However, before he made the call, Zhou Ze looked at Tang Shi and asked,
"How did you find out?"
"Do you know, compared to us..,
It's like being in a wolf's den..,
A cute husky sneaked in. "
… …
The rain was still falling, and it did not show any signs of stopping. Tongcheng was located in the Yangtze River Delta region, so there was naturally plenty of rain during this season.
There were no earthquakes or tsunamis here. The only thing that happened frequently and might cause some impact was waterlogging.
Wearing a raincoat, Zhou Ze walked downstairs of the old apartment. The trash can had already been soaked by the rain, and some garbage had already floated out.
Tang Shi was wearing rain boots and a black raincoat. Her legs were faintly discernible in the rain. However, Zhou Ze naturally did not have the time to enjoy this kind of scenery.
He had called to check the situation previously. The person who had been sent to the police station by him had only been detained for half a month. The crime was only for violating the public security laws and regulations. After all, although he had gone to Zhou Ze's shop to "Commit Assault", he had been knocked down by Zhou Ze in the end. It was difficult to get any big crime.
Moreover, Zhou Ze could not say:
Uncle Police,
He is a murderer,
He killed me,
And I am not me,
I am a reincarnation!!!
If that was the case..,
He reckoned that if he did not go in..,
He would be forcefully sent to a mental hospital.
However, Zhou Ze still found that person's address from there. It was in this area.
"This is the one."
On the second floor, Zhou Ze stopped in front of a door.
Most of the residential areas here were rented to migrant workers who came to Tongcheng to work. The environment and facilities were actually very poor, and they used public bathrooms.
"Are you sure?" Tang Shi asked.
"The house number should be right."
Zhou Ze tried to look at the window. There were screens inside, and there were tattered curtains, so he could not see inside clearly from the outside.
"I'll go find something to pry open the door first..."
"Kacha..."
The door lock opened automatically.
Tang Shi made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was stunned,
He smiled,
And walked in.
He thought to himself that it was a pity not to be a thief with you.
The house was actually a set,
A room,
There was a bed, a wardrobe, and a small stove with an induction cooker.
The house was tidied up, but dust had already accumulated in some places. It was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time.
"How long has he been released?"
"It's been a few months. I sent him to the police station the next day after I was reborn. He was released half a month later."
Zhou Ze looked around and checked the details.
"Did he move?" Tang Shi asked.
Zhou Ze shook his head. "I'm not sure."
The guy who killed Xu Le with a baseball bat..,
Was he missing?
Zhou Ze suddenly noticed that there was an area on the wall behind the bed that was a little different. He stepped on the bed and reached out to touch the area on the wall. Then, he said,
"This wall seems to have been painted later."
"Is there something hidden inside?" Tang Shi asked.
Zhou Ze put his ear close to the wall and knocked on it. "It doesn't look hollow."
In fact, it was very common for the walls of this kind of house to be hollow. Usually, when a new apartment was being renovated, the renovation team would first send an old master over with a ruler to knock on the wall and floor. If they found any problems, they would ask the developer to correct them before they could start the renovation.
"Just open it and take a look," Tang Shi said.
Zhou Ze nodded. Just as he was about to say that he was going to look for tools, he glanced at Tang Shi and consciously took a few steps back.
Tang Shi looked at the kitchen knife and other hard objects next to the induction cooker. Then, these objects flew out and continuously pierced through the wall, repeating the cycle.
The idea of starting a construction company appeared in Zhou Ze's mind again,
Bai Yingying alone was equivalent to the labor of a construction team,
Tang Shi was equivalent to a batch of construction equipment,
All he needed to do was sit there and count the money.
However, as the wall continued to crack, Zhou Ze immediately abandoned the messy thoughts in his mind.
"Bang!"
A piece of the wall shattered and fell,
A human face appeared.
This face still maintained a horrified expression, as if it was perfectly continuing the emotional state before death.
It was that person,
It was the person who used a baseball bat to kill Xu Le!
In the air,
There was a sour smell.
Zhou Ze reached out and checked the body inside. He frowned and said,
"The body has only been dead for less than a week."
"You don't seem to be a forensic doctor," Tang Shi reminded.
"This is common sense for surgeons. According to the degree of death of the body, you can roughly determine the time of death," Zhou Ze explained.
"Then I can tell you that the wall I just knocked on was definitely not sealed for less than a week. It has been sealed for at least three months."
Tang Shi peeled off a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. She continued,
"Unless you think he was killed a week ago and moved into the wall that was sealed three months ago."
Zhou Ze immediately realized that something was wrong,
It was obvious that the body could not have been "Teleported" into the wall later on, and the wall was perfectly preserved before Tang Shi cut it.
He sniffed,
That sour smell..,
Previously, he only thought that it was the smell of the body,
At this moment,
Zhou Ze suddenly realized something and pulled the hair off the body's head,
As expected,
He found a small hole. This was the injection hole.
"Yes, the body has been dead for a long time, but he has been injected with formalin, so the body can be preserved so well.
In addition..,
Formalin should have been slowly injected into his body when he was alive,
