[Chapter 1: The Scourge of "Innocent" Killing]
When I got home late at night, I heard the ticking sound of water drops on the balcony.
Confused, I walked to the source of the sound.
But unexpectedly, he found that his hands were stained with bright red blood.
When I looked up, the female neighbor who was dressed up in fancy clothes on weekdays had been stabbed several times at this time, and her body was hanging on the railing.
The murderer also lowered his head at this moment, staring at me.
Then, he smiled slowly.
I felt as if my heart had stopped beating at that moment.
Because his lips are clearly shaped—
"Then it's your turn."
01
At night, the sound of water droplets is unusually clear.
I dragged my tired body into the bedroom.
Off the bedroom is a semi-open balcony.
I thought it was my own negligence and I forgot to spin the laundry and dry it out.
However, this does not seem to be the case.
More like dripping down from upstairs.
I walked into the balcony and wiped the liquid from the railing with my hands.
The color is deep.
Not a water leak?
Confused, I turned on the flashlight function on my phone and looked up.
What caught my eye was a pale and limp woman's arm.
Blood snaked down like twisted earthworms, converging on fingertips, dripping continuously.
Looking further up, there was the frightened and desperate face of the female neighbor.
She didn't struggle, she didn't call for help.
Between the messy strands of hair, those eyes were staring straight at me.
She's dead!
Realizing this, I couldn't help but scream.
"Ahh
But almost immediately, I regretted it.
Because, as the body of the female neighbor was removed, I saw a strong strange man standing on the edge of the balcony, who was looking down at me.
One second.
Two seconds.
His face was stained with blood, but a smile gradually appeared.
The man seemed to say something and left the balcony.
What is he saying?
What does he want to do?!
My whole body trembled involuntarily, my teeth gurgled, and my limbs felt like they were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
As I struggled to make out the words, a chill rushed through my head.
He's talking about exactly that-
"Then it's your turn."
02
I'm just an ordinary single woman.
Rented in a dilapidated apartment.
Live a 9-to-5 life every day.
Criminals, murders, bloody corpses......
These are things that I have never experienced in the last twenty years or even dared to imagine.
But tonight, at this moment, I had to force myself to start thinking.
The murder took place on the sixth floor, and I lived at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor, with a staircase in the center of each floor.
If that murderer really came to me down the stairs—
The gate, yes, at least lock the gate first!
I rushed out of the bedroom with the balcony.
Sure enough, the hallway of the old-fashioned apartment heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
The murderer was just a few meters away from my house.
However, I had just run to the living room when suddenly, it was pitch black.
The trash can that I accidentally kicked over rolled around on the floor, and unfinished Coke gurgled out of the can.
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized:
The murderer has come to my door and cut off the power to my house.
The next thing that followed made me almost hopeless.
Our old-fashioned apartment is extremely hot and humid in the summer, especially for the residents on both sides, so many people will leave an iron fence screen door for ventilation in order to save electricity bills.
Including me.
My security door is just hidden at the moment.
And the screen door is inside the gate.
I stumbled to the door.
With the voice-activated lights in the hallway, I could see the man standing outside the screen door.
He was about 1.8 meters tall and weighed 1670 pounds.
Just standing there, his shadow could completely envelop me.
His T-shirt, bare neck, and arms were covered in blood, and he held the knife he had just used to commit the murder in his hand!
"Open the door."
His voice was low and hoarse.
I shook my head again and again, and took two steps back, helplessly.
"Open the door!"
He tore open the screen with all his might, and waved his hand over the iron fence, his mouth babbling faster and faster, and his tone becoming more and more crazy.
"Sluts, they're all sluts, dare to lie to me, she deserves to die, you have to die too!"
I shouted with all my might, "Who are you!" I don't know you at all! If you don't leave, I'll call the police! ”
The man seemed to be irritated by something and became even angrier.
"Fuck you! Even if I die, I will drag you to die with me! A bunch of shameless sluts, liars! ”
Seeing him like that, he completely lost his mind.
The iron fence gate shook wildly by him, making a loud noise.
The fear in my heart almost consumed me.
I took out my phone tremblingly and contacted a nearby friend, only to realize that the power switch was pulled, and the network was naturally disconnected.
The sound of the knock on the door suddenly stopped.
The voice-activated lights in the hallway were also turned off.
He...... Left?
I didn't dare come close to see it.
In the dark, I could only turn off the phone screen for a while, in case he noticed my location, and then slowly and silently retreated as much as possible.
It's going to be fast, I'll be able to retreat to the kitchen right away, and I'll be able to call the police.
Suddenly, the old iron fence gate was hit with a heavy hammer, making a loud "bang" sound.
A row of voice-activated lights all lit up.
It dawned on me.
He didn't leave, and he wasn't spying on me.
Instead, he found a hammer in the clutter pile at the corner at the end of the hallway.
This murderer is going to break in!
03
The layout of my house is very simple.
As soon as you enter, you will find the living room on your right-hand side, and the bedroom will be connected to the balcony further on.
On the left-hand side are the kitchen, bathroom and toilet.
And the location of the apartment is very remote, even if the police are called and the police are dispatched immediately, it will take at least twenty minutes.
I need to survive this time in the hands of this perverted murderer.
Xu Ning, stay calm.
Be sure to stay calm.
I walked into the bathroom, put the shower on the floor, and turned on the faucet.
The sound of the water is very clear.
The bathroom door was not closed, it was only slightly open.
I'm gambling.
Because I'm hiding in the corner.
The phone screen shows that the battery is low.
I quickly sent an alarm text message.
I wanted to make another call, but it was too late.
The not-so-sturdy iron door made a "crunch" sound.
I heard the heavy footsteps of a man.
Click, click.
There was also the sound of something being dragged to the ground.
And I am 1.6 meters tall and weigh less than 100 pounds.
Even though my job is a yoga instructor, I'm just a little more flexible than the average person.
If I really come face to face with the murderer, I don't have any chance of winning.
He must have heard the sound of water in the bathroom, too.
But they didn't come to look for it.
Through the crack in the door, I saw the man spinning around the living room.
"I see you."
His voice was still hoarse, echoing in the empty living room, with the excitement of being about to slaughter his prey.
No.
No way.
I covered my mouth and nose tightly and didn't make any sound.
“3——”
“2——”
“1！”
The next second, he crouched down and stabbed the knife into the gap under the couch.
Nothing.
The man seemed a little disappointed, "ahh
I haven't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, without warning, the phone rang.
This location is connected to the Wi-Fi next door, and the distress message just now was sent out at some point.
My friend called me back by accident!
The heart almost stopped.
I quickly hung up.
However, it was already too late.
The murderer stopped, turned his head slowly, let out a hoarse laugh in his throat, and walked towards the source of the sound.
"Finally found you."
04
When a person is in extreme panic and despair, they tend to lose their voice.
I watched as the burly dark figure walked through the living room, gradually closing in on me.
"You're witty, and you're bold enough."
"Do you believe that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"
"You ladies, always self-righteous, seem to be able to manipulate men easily."
"But that's the end of the game."
He slammed open the bathroom door and lunged at me.
But it didn't work out.
A dull thud followed.
Even in the pitch darkness, I could tell it was the sound of him stepping on the slippery floor tiles I had just applied shower gel and falling.
A person weighing one hundred and seventy pounds falls heavily on the ground and will definitely feel pain.
The sound of the water stopped abruptly.
Immediately after, I brandished an iron shower and smashed it the man's head!
However, he was much more agile than I expected.
It was as if he was more familiar with darkness than I was.
The fatal blow I had planned was cleverly avoided by him.
As I said, I'm a yoga instructor.
Flexibility is pretty much my only advantage.
As he struggled to stand up, I propped up the sink with both hands, turned around and jumped up, kicking his lower body hard.
The man rolled on the ground in pain, twitching.
"Ahhhhh
He seemed to be completely enraged by me, and the sharp knife in his hand stabbed at me.
In the darkness, I could dimly see the blades glistening with a cold glow.
One knife, two knives.
He stabbed like crazy.
"Die!"
"Mean woman, die!"
Although I have taken into account all the possible scenarios.
But my right ankle was still scratched by a blade.
I don't know how deep the wound was, if it hurt the bone, but I felt a burning pain at the wound.
Maybe it's because of the adrenaline rush.
That sharp pain was only brief and quickly became numb.
But the man was kicked in the lower body by me, I'm afraid he won't recover so quickly.
I didn't have time to look back, so I slammed the bathroom door, knocked down all the mops and brooms hanging in the doorway, and stumbled towards my bedroom.
If my memory is not wrong......
Hope I'm not mistaken.
My last hope of fighting back was hidden in that bedroom.
05
By the faint moonlight outside the window.
I could see dripping blood and messy footprints along the way.
He was just frantically looking for me in the living room.
If I had instinctively ducked under the couch just now, I would have been a corpse by now.
But what did I do wrong?
I don't even know this person.
Even if he had any grudges with the neighbor upstairs, I was a poor woman who was innocently involved.
Fear, anger, and an unprecedented desire for life filled my mind.
I ran into the bedroom.
A large bed, a row of wardrobes, a small dresser.
Luckily, I'm petite, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hide my closet.
The footsteps behind him were like a drumbeat.
I didn't have time to think about it, and just opened the door to the closet.
In the hurry, the plastic hangers made a crashing sound.
I hid myself completely.
Hold one's breath.
The murderer seemed to think that I had nowhere to run and wanted to destroy my spirit little by little, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Or maybe he was kicked by me and the pain hasn't completely subsided.
His pace is not fast.
But he went into the bedroom anyway and locked the door.
My heart sank suddenly.
It's really an enclosed space.
The bloodstained knife swept under the bed, then slowly moved along the side of the bed toward me.
"Hahahaha, do you think you can escape?"
"Come out now and beg for mercy, and I'll let you die a happy death."
"Really, you look as cheap as that woman."
"It's all bitches who cheat on men."
"Cheap woman" and "deception" in his mouth.
I think he may be one of the many suitors of the female neighbor upstairs, because he can't get love, it turns into extreme hatred.
He even did not hesitate to chase after him and kill people.
The gnashing of hatred and disgust revealed in that tone was too strong.
I have no doubt that if it does fall into his hands, I will suffer endless torture.
The man is getting closer.
So close that I could even smell his sweat, alcohol, cigarettes, and the pungent smell of blood.
"It's really ...... to distinguish between right and wrong"
His large hands gripped the doorknob of the closet tightly.
The sinister smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Suddenly, a pull -
The man froze.
There was nothing in the closet but clothes.
He had heard the sound of the closet opening and closing, the grinding of the hangers, and he had searched all possible hiding places except here.
He leaned most of his body into the closet, rummaging through the clothes.
And I was waiting for this opportunity.
When I first returned to my rented house, I remembered the laundry I had done in the morning.
There was a white shirt made of satin, which was very expensive and needed to be ironed.
After plugging in the iron, I waited for it to heat up before I realized the strange dripping sound on the balcony.
Just then, I slipped out from behind the curtains.
The iron had become piping hot, and I smashed it straight into the man's neck.
[Chapter 2: An Unexpected Ending (End)]
06
However.
Fate didn't give me any chance to get left to chance.
It was supposed to be my fatal blow.
But the man heard the wind behind him.
He tilted his head, and the iron brushed against his brow bone.
The sound of burnt flesh was heard in the air, and he screamed and took a few steps back. My arm was sore from being lifted for too long, and the iron fell to the floor with a "clang" sound.
Failed again.
Another failure!
I retreated to the balcony almost in despair.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of an air conditioner embedded in the wall.
Some fragments suddenly flashed through my mind, and I remembered that there were children climbing between the first and second floors, they grabbed the railing, one foot stretched out first, stepped on the air conditioner, and then grabbed the pipe with both hands, as long as they had enough core strength, they could climb to the balcony on the upper floor.
But after all, the balcony was suspended, and no one knew how much weight those aging objects could bear, and it was quickly stopped by parents.
But I don't have a choice, do I?
As the man staggered back, covering his face.
I endured the pain in my ankle and carefully climbed over the iron railing.
This is the fifth floor.
If you are not careful, you will fall down and your flesh will be blurred.
As I shivered and stomped one foot on the air conditioner, I glanced downstairs – all I felt dizzy and cold sweat almost soaking my back.
But he's already rushed over!
There's no time left to pump yourself up.
What supports my body now is the most instinctive human desire to survive.
I'm still young, and I don't want to die like this.
Gripping the pipe with both hands, I also stepped on the air conditioner with my other foot, and then jumped hard, and my arms clung to the iron railing on the sixth floor.
However, I overlooked that the railing above here had dragged over the corpses.
Leaves a trailing trail of blood that has not dried.
Although my hands were firmly gripping the guardrail, they were too slippery to do so, and my body was like a crumbling leaf hanging on a tree branch, swinging back and forth in mid-air.
And the man had already run to the balcony, his face was burned by the electric iron to his left eye and forehead, a blister of blood, and he looked even more terrifying.
This time, it was him staring at me viciously downstairs.
I'm hanging by a thread on it.
The wind blew, as if it could off at any moment.
The strength slowly drained in the confrontation minute by minute.
Help me.
Who's going to save me.
I really...... Don't want to die!
The man looked up at me, looked at me, and suddenly smiled again.
He walked over to the balcony and grabbed my right foot, the injured one.
Grabbed the scar of the knife edge fiercely.
My muscles were bruised in pain, and my whole body was shaking.
Even I could not have imagined that such a tremendous force could erupt in such a critical moment. I pulled my ankle out and kicked him hard at his horrible face with the flesh turned out.
One foot was back on the air conditioner, and my body stretched to the limit.
The body of the female neighbor who died not long ago was right in front of my eyes, and I saw her eyes, those desperate, dead eyes, and—
Breathing suddenly stopped.
Then, I reached out and grabbed her long hair fluttering in the air, and with the last of my strength, pulled her down.
Her slender body quickly swept past the man, plummeting straight into the darkness.
There was a dull sound on the asphalt, and blood splattered.
At the same time, the shrill sound of sirens pierced the silence.
The red and blue lights come into view.
I felt a sense of relief.
Started crying loudly.
07
Fang Jia's perspective
A murder occurred in the Guangming Apartment on Ji'an Street that shocked the whole city.
The victim was a female influencer with 200,000 followers on social platforms named Rui Rui.
The suspect was arrested on the spot.
Because he did not flee the scene immediately after the murder of passion, and even planned to attack the downstairs neighbor who witnessed his crime, fortunately, the police received a report, which prevented another tragedy from happening.
Since the influencer himself has a certain degree of popularity, this matter has caused widespread discussion.
The higher authorities gave strict orders to the task force.
The case must be solved within a week.
Xiao Wang asked me puzzledly, "Captain Fang, isn't it obvious?" The technical department has called up the chat records, and the female Internet celebrity and her number one fan are having an affair, using marriage as a bait to deceive people into bankruptcy, isn't this just coming to the door to ask for an explanation? ”
"There are traces of arguments and fights in the female anchor's room, that is, the two did not talk to each other, and then the suspect suddenly went berserk and killed people."
I rubbed my forehead.
"I always feel that things are not that simple, when will the autopsy results come out?"
Xiao Wang shrugged.
"We didn't have to wait a little longer for their public holiday."
I flipped through the photos from the scene and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, who is the one who reported the crime-"
"There is more than one person, they are all residents of that building, and the first person to report the crime must be the little girl who lives downstairs, called ...... Xu Ning. ”
"I have to say that it's really unlucky to meet this kind of murderer, I'm afraid it's going to be a nightmare for a while."
Another police officer also sighed, "The whole building, the neighbors, are so indifferent, they just watched the murderer break in." ”
"You can't say that, there are old and young people in the family, who dares to fight with crazy people?"
"That's right."
The members of the task force had a lot of discussions.
I also looked at the records of the visits to the residents of this building compiled by my colleagues.
"What about Xu Ning's records in Room 512?"
"Oh, she's injured, a tendon strain in her left arm, a few stitches in her right leg, and she seems to have a slight concussion, and she hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet."
I nodded, sorted out the papers, and put them in my bag.
"When she is discharged from the hospital, ask her to come to the bureau and ask a few questions."
To my surprise, Xu Ning came the next day.
She was still limping when she walked.
As soon as he came up, he said, "Do you doubt me?" Okay, you guys get me arrested. ”
Her tone was full of grievances, and a female police officer hurriedly stepped forward to support her and comforted her, saying that she did not suspect her, and that this was just a procedure for handling the case, so it was necessary to investigate and question the relevant personnel.
These are, of course, official rhetoric.
Actually, I did doubt her.
This girl who looks delicate, capable, and has a calm gaze.
08
"Name?"
"Xu Ning."
"Age?"
“25.”
"Occupation?"
"Yoga instructor at Shangmei Movement Center."
In the square room, Xu Ning and I sat face to face, and the recorder next to me quickly recorded.
"Miss Xu, I'm sorry that it has affected your cultivation," I nodded at her, "The nature of the case is vile and the impact is great, please bear with me." ”
She was noncommittal, and just motioned for me to ask.
"How do you get along with your neighbors?"
Xu Ning was stunned.
"Most people don't know each other. I'm very busy at work. ”
"Oh, so what about Cheng Ruirui, a resident of 612 upstairs?"
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"The relationship is not good, I hate her very much."
Surprisingly candid.
"Can you tell us why?"
"What is she doing, have you all investigated?" Xu Ning said, "The edge anchor, wearing those maid suits and sailor suits, is obviously in his twenties, and he is not dressed as a junior high school student to please the old men." ”
She bit the word "rubbing the edge", and she could see that she cared about it.
I nodded and waited for her to continue.
"Those old men are definitely not satisfied with just chatting in the live broadcast room, so they add her, and then do everything possible to inquire where she lives, in order to pursue her, send her flowers and cakes, send lobsters, and send imported fruits."
"Miss Xu seems to be very familiar with Cheng Ruirui?"
"I'm a familiar fart!" Xu Ning probably endured it, but she really couldn't hold back her swearing, "She wants a gift again, and she's afraid that someone will really come to the door, so fill in my address!" I was always called inexplicably during that time, and there were all kinds of things at the door, and I felt strange once or twice, so I asked the courier, and the phone number and address were mine, but I didn't know what to do with the baby! ”
"Later, Cheng Ruirui came down to pick up the courier and said that she had filled in the wrong way."
Xu Ning leaned forward slightly, a little excited.
"Is it possible? Do you think it's possible? Fill in the wrong fill in every time! ”
"I think it's not easy for everyone to be a girl begging for a living outside. I told her in a good voice, don't disclose the address, it's not safe for anyone, she agreed on the surface, but in fact she did it. ”
"Until I come back from overtime at night, a drunk wanders around our floor, and he pounces on me and wants to arrest me!"
"If I hadn't locked the door quickly, I wouldn't have dared to think about what would have happened, he scolded me at the door of my house for more than an hour, calling me a slut, a bitch, cheating him about his feelings, and cheating him for money, but what did I do wrong? I don't even know him! ”
Xu Ning leaned back in the chair, as if she had endured it alone for too long, she covered her face a little collapsed, her hair hung down, and I saw that she seemed to be crying.
"This has threatened your personal safety, haven't you thought about calling the police to deal with it?"
The female police officer next to her, who was in charge of recording, couldn't help but ask.
"Why not?" Xu Ning sniffed, "I called the police that day, the drunk was detained, but there was no more evidence, Cheng Ruirui was just criticized and educated, and he was fined some money and released." ”
"From then on, she began to make rumors about me in front of her neighbors."
"Saying that the place where I work is a prostitution den, saying that I am not serious, and I rely on men again and again, and I am still pretending to be high."
She pulled out a bunch of bits and pieces like her work card and pay slips to show us.
One vigorously said, "The money I make is clean, every penny is clean." ”
The appearance of desperately proving his innocence is weak and sad.
The female police officer, almost completely convinced by her whole set of eloquent narratives, looked at me.
"Fang team, if there is nothing else to ask, let her go back and raise it first, right? After all, it was a witness, and he was injured again. ”
"There's a breakthrough, and it's never too late to be arraigned."
In this way, Xu Ning was sent away.
Xiao Wang came to tell me.
They interrogated the suspect, Sun Hanchao.
The confession is almost the exact opposite of what Xu Ning originally said!
09
Sun Hanchao looks like just a tall, ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
However, after all, it was a murder of passion, not a premeditation.
Previously, the database was not very useful for criminal suspect profiles.
The moment they saw me coming, they were excited to pounce.
However, he was restrained by the handcuffs in his seat.
He twisted his face and frowned in pain, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Comrade policeman, I swear I didn't kill anyone!" That was his first sentence.
"That woman, she's lying to you!" This is the second sentence.
I sat down in front of him with a notepad and motioned to turn on the recorder.
"Calm down, we're still in the investigative phase. But I need to remind you, Sun Hanchao, you will be legally responsible for everything you say next. ”
He seemed to be intimidated by me and nodded his head repeatedly.
I looked at the transcript of Xiao Wang's interrogation and asked, "You and the victim Cheng Ruirui met on the live broadcast platform and got along for two months, and you gave her nearly 200,000 yuan in gifts, what is the purpose?" ”
"She said, she'll marry me!" Sun Hanchao exclaimed, "She is my favorite type, I liked her at first sight!" Usually as long as she asks me what I want, I give it all to her, and thousands of bouquets of flowers don't blink an eye-"
I interrupted, "Did you know at the time that the address Cheng Ruirui gave you was fake?" In fact, it was her downstairs neighbor, that is, Xu Ning's? ”
Sun Hanchao shook his head.
then realized something, adding: "Later, later, an account said in her live broadcast room that she used someone else's address to deceive her feelings, and she had the ability not to push her neighbors out to block the gun......"
"That's right! That person must be Xu Ning! ”
"She guided me to Cheng Ruirui! Definitely! ”
I tapped my knuckles on the table to signal him to be quiet.
Xiao Wang keenly reminded: "Team Fang, about this news, Xu Ning didn't say it before. ”
"Let a colleague from the technical department check this account."
"Yes."
I turned to Sun Hanchao, and my tone turned cold, "Even if you learn the anchor's location information from Xu Ning, no one will instigate you to come to the door, right?" You stabbed Cheng Ruirui six times! ”
"She forced me!"
Sun Hanchao became excited again, and he didn't even care about the blood marks on his wrists.
Those cloudy and red eyes that hadn't slept all night looked straight at me.
"I came to her just because she blocked me."
"I knelt down for her and begged her not to dump me, I was really trying to get married, but she said she didn't like me at all."
"She also pointed at my nose and scolded me for being a waste, saying that I don't look at my identity, a repairman, a toad who wants to eat swan meat, deserves to be an old bachelor, I'm mad, I just want her to shut up......"
I watched him coldly and tearfully state that he presented himself as a completely innocent and pitiful honest man who had been deceived of his family.
Then spit out three words: "You lied." ”
The condom in the evidence bag was thrown on the table by me.
"What do you want to do with this?"
"Your skin tissue has been extracted from Cheng Ruirui's pillow and bed sheets at home, what have you done to her?"
Sun Hanchao probably didn't expect that all the clues at the scene were recorded one by one.
Rolling his eyes weakly, he choked for a while.
"I spent almost 200,000 yuan on her, even if she doesn't marry me, what's wrong with sleeping?"
"Comrade policeman, you have also seen it, she is selling on the Internet to solicit customers, that's what she does!"
The female police officer next to me unconsciously showed disgust in her eyes.
In fact, we have seen many examples of this kind of love without committing crimes.
You can't even say "love".
"Love" is just a reasonable-sounding excuse for the person who committed the crime, trying to blur the boundaries of the crime with feelings.
"So you admit that you attempted rape of Cheng Ruirui, and the victim resisted fiercely, and you grabbed the fruit knife on her table in anger and stabbed her six times in a row, right?"
Sun Hanchao muttered, "I just, I was dizzy at the time, and I wanted to teach her a lesson and scare her." ”
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up.
"But I didn't kill anyone! Cheng Ruirui was still alive at that time! She made a movement to summon that Xu Ning downstairs! ”
Xiao Wang and I were stunned at the same time.
"You mean, she was on the balcony calling for help?"
"That's right! She kept yelling, and the first time I encountered this kind of thing, I panicked, I stabbed her several times, but she was definitely not dead at the time! ”
And then ...... Then Xu Ning saw her and me. ”
She yelled that she was going to call the police.
"I'm really scared, I just want to coerce her not to make trouble...... I didn't want to kill anyone......"
As Sun Hanchao spoke, he shed tears of remorse, inserted his ten fingers into his hair, and hugged his head in pain.
"I'm confused, I'm confused."
"But I didn't kill anyone."
He confessed to his emotional entanglement with Cheng Ruirui, as well as the fact that he committed murder.
Repeatedly mentioning that he did not kill anyone.
Just as we were pondering the two confessions, another bombshell news came crashing in.
Cheng Ruirui's autopsy report came out.
10
The medical examiner made it clear that she did not die from the first assailation of several stabs and then excessive bleeding, as we had initially assumed.
Her fatal injuries were a fall from a high-rise that resulted in a ruptured cervical vertebrae.
Other words......
The last push by Xu Ning was the root cause of Cheng Ruirui's death.
After the autopsy report came out, several of us fell silent.
Everyone knows what that means.
The atmosphere was solemn.
"Xu Ning was too wronged, she must have thought that someone was dead at the time, and she was really desperate to push her to protect herself, now it must be considered too much defense, right?" "The specific verdict depends on the public procuratorate. Fuck, it's too cheap for this Sun Hanchao. ”
"That's it, a person like him, almost killed an innocent little girl. In the end, it will drag Xu Ning down. ”
"Fang team, why don't you speak?"
I shook my head and walked out and lit a cigarette.
The feeling that I vaguely felt wrong, but I couldn't say it, has always lingered in my heart.
Everything was too coincidental.
Xu Ning was harassed three times and twice, and "unintentionally" revealed the address of Cheng Ruirui's home in the live broadcast room.
Sun Hanchao really went to the set.
Cheng Ruirui didn't have time to call the police for help, and he was stabbed several times and lost his ability to fight back.
……
In the afternoon, the police officer in charge of the visit returned.
"Sun Hanchao has a good reputation in the community. Neighbors said that he was usually very honest and responsible, his ex-wife left early, and he had not continued the strings over the years, and they all said that he loved his daughter very much. ”
"Oh, there's a record of him volunteering at a welfare home."
"It's Xu Ning......"
The people in the apartment said that she would report that a child had picked the vegetables she had planted at the back of the building, because the land was originally a public area, and she did not spare the door to make the family lose money, which may be really financially constrained. I have quarreled many times with my neighbors in the building over the ownership of water and electricity bills and sundries in the stairwell. ”
The female police officer spoke coldly.
"But, Xu Ning is an orphan."
"If she doesn't fight, who can help her?"

Sun Hanchao's popularity is really good.
During the evidence collection process of our visit and investigation, many neighbors and colleagues were willing to testify for him.
They said that it was definitely Cheng Ruirui who tricked him into throwing money constantly, and after smashing the family's only savings, he brutally trampled on his only hope, so he drove people to a dead end.
However, Cheng's side-wiping live broadcast behavior is indeed in a subtle gray area, even if you ask for a huge reward in the live broadcast room, it belongs to you and me, let alone the police, even the lawyer cannot recover it.
A sentence suddenly occurred to me.
- She was still young at that time, and did not know all the gifts of fate, and had already secretly marked the price.
It's early autumn, and it's just raining outside.
There was a damp smell in the air.
I looked at the sky, gray, covered in layers of dark clouds.
Just like this seemingly simple case, there is no clear distinction between good and evil behind it.
I changed into a cross-dress, walked along the street, and walked to the gym where Xu Ning worked. The little girl at the front desk warmly entertained me and asked me if I wanted to apply for a card or an experience, I said to consider it, and then saw Xu Ning through a glass door.
Did you get to work so soon?
She wears a tight sweatshirt and has a delicate figure.
A male student kept leaning towards her, grabbing her hand and asking for instructions, and sticking to her ear to ask for something.
Maybe I wanted to ask her about the time when she had taken a leave of absence before.
Xu Ning's face was tense, her smile was stiff, and there was clear rejection in her eyes, but she didn't dare to tear her face with the customer.
I'm ready to leave.
She was called out by the supervisor, and I quickly hid behind the side of the drink cabinet, in the blind spot.
I heard the middle-aged man scolding in the corridor: "Xu Ning, what is your attitude towards the guests!?" Just fucking love to answer and ignore your dead look, who can ask you for a card? You don't deserve to make money! Ask for leave twice in three days, why don't you die! ”
"People Qianqian casually start a live broadcast to distribute her daily life, her income can be tens of thousands of yuan, and she can bring some popularity to our store, what can you do? If you receive a customer complaint again, you will fuck me off! ”
Xu Ning's voice could be heard trying his best to stay calm, "Director, but, I've prepared for class seriously, I'm ...... I don't want to go live, I'm not doing that. ”
"You're paying off! I still say the same thing, if you can, you can do it, you can't pack up your things and leave! ”
Xu Ning fell into silence for a long time.
"Do you understand!?"
“…… I know. ”
In my mind, I remembered Xu Ning hurriedly going out to get the pay slip and ID card.
She was small, thin, and didn't seem to have much strength, but she desperately wanted to live.
At that moment, I confess, somewhere in the heart was secretly stabbed.
Perhaps my questioning of the "perfect victimhood" is itself wrong.
After Xu Ning got off work, she changed her clothes and walked out of the gym.
The devil sent the gods to the earth, and I followed.
12
I saw Xu Ning take a deep breath.
Then he rubbed his face, squeezed out a smile, and walked into the bakery to greet the owner familiarly.
"Boss, is there any more small cake that is on sale today?"
"I want bread too, it's cheaper."
"Well, for the kids."
Her white-washed canvas shoes were splashed with mud by a speeding car on the road.
But he was carrying a bag of bread and humming a song, and he seemed to be in a relaxed and happy mood.
Xu Ning went......
Welfare.
She didn't say much, just gave the discounted cakes and bread to the children, and left in a hurry without even accepting the dean's invitation to stay for a meal.
I waited a while before visiting.
The dean was subconsciously vigilant, and I showed the relevant documents.
That's when she let me in.
Inside there is a play area with colorful puzzles, where several boys and girls are playing and playing.
"This is Uncle Policeman," the dean introduced me, "and he specializes in catching bad guys." ”
I'm actually not very good at dealing with children.
I have been interrogated too many times, and I always feel that I have a fierceness on my face.
But a group of five or six-year-old girls were chattering around me.
"Uncle, why don't you wear the clothes of a police uncle?"
"Because I'm not at work right now."
"Then, Uncle Policeman, don't you have to catch the bad guys when you're not at work?"
"You have to catch it, and it doesn't matter how long it takes to catch the bad guys."
Suddenly, a little girl with a double ponytail timidly tugged at the corner of my clothes.
"Uncle, what is a bad person?"
"The dean's mother said that it was a good person who gave us good food and taught us to read."
"It's the bad guys who beat us, discipline us, and lift our skirts."
I nodded.
For a child who is still innocent at the age of five or six, it seems that this is not wrong.
"What if you give me candy to eat and take me to a fairy tale book, but lift my skirt and let me play games with him?"
13
My pupils constricted.
Almost subconsciously, he grabbed the little girl's arm.
"Which uncle? Which uncle did this to you? ”
The little girl was a little dazed, but she still pieced together the appearance of the man with her memories.
Very tall, big, smelled of smoke, and although she smiled, she didn't like it, because her uncle would take her to do strange things.
There were a few girls with a few larger dots who also chimed in.
My heart is like an ice cave.
Loves kids and pedophiles......
What if, then, the latter, is the truth?
I almost ran to the dean's office and told her some of the details of the case, and the dean suddenly changed color, "That man is very cunning!" At first, I really thought he was a good man, he said that he wanted to find a companion for his daughter, adopt a girl, and do those dirty things in the dark, children don't understand, and it took a long time to find out! ”
"Comrade policeman, he's a psychopath!"
"Listen to our kid here, he also has a personal daughter—"
The dean's face was pale, his lips trembled, and he could barely speak.
I suddenly remembered what it was like to feel so familiar.
The little girl with a double ponytail and a floral dress.
Overlapping with a photo of a murder scene.
Yes.
Cheng Ruirui was also wearing a floral short skirt when he fell, painted with childish makeup, and combed double ponytails!
I repeatedly assured the dean that Sun Hanchao would be strictly investigated.
This kind of scum pedophile who comes to the door to commit murder, dies without repentance, and does not let go even of his own daughter.
The law must be sanctioned!
Epilogue Xu Ning's perspective
The shadow that followed me was finally gone.
I have seen what I should see, and I have heard what I should have heard.
Officer Fang needs a reasonable truth that can convince him of himself, and I will give him the truth.
As a matter of fact.
The world isn't black and white.
I dangled the keys back to the apartment.
Many people have already moved out because of the homicide, and small advertisements for urgent rentals are plastered all over the walls.
But I don't think it's much.
Be quiet.
It's a good idea to completely change the occupants of the entire apartment.
It's like turning the page along with some unpleasant experiences.
When I got home, I took the dried flowers from the balcony, cut off the excess leaves, and inserted them into the bottle. If it weren't for the shy faces of those men, I probably wouldn't have seen thousands of bouquets look like in my life.
I took the chilled cherries out of the fridge.
Even the gift box is so beautiful.
Even the fruit is nobler than me.
Chewing slowly, the dark red thick juice overflowed, filling the mouth with a sweet taste.
Well, I do hate Cheng Ruirui.
I hate that she has a delicate and beautiful face, but she says the most vicious and cruel things.
- "Xu Ning, what are you pretending to be high?" Poverty is the original sin. ”
- "You don't know who sent it, don't you still accept it with a shy face?" ”
- "That's the evidence I keep!" Don't deceive people too much! ”
- "Whatever you want, what about things, I'll reward you." ”
- "By the way, the person who complained about you today, called my wife in my live broadcast room, and gave me a reward of 5,000 yuan in one night, which is enough for your monthly salary, right?" ”
- "You, how do you know? ”
- "I'm laughing to death, who doesn't know that there is a little money in the same city?" Your job, I can make you yellow with just two words, believe it or not? ”
I know, I know.
Laughing at poverty and not laughing at prostitutes.
But I just don't understand, is it wrong to try to live?
Is it wrong to be afraid of the coveted gazes of those men and the drunks who suddenly come to the door?
I trembled and held back the tears that were about to overflow my eyes, and begged Cheng Ruirui to let me go in a low voice.
But I really hate her.
Why can she easily make a lot of money by rubbing the edges? Why do you want to turn around and bully me?
On that night when I was almost violated by a drunk, I stayed up all night.
There is no end to forbearance.
So, I set out to choose a suitable piece.
For example, the one we both had contact with, the obscene and hypocritical man, Sun Hanchao.
Then utter that seemingly complaining sentence at the right time.
I was quickly kicked out by the webmaster.
I don't know if Sun Hanchao saw it.
Thankfully, it lived up to my expectations.
When he stormed upstairs and slammed the door, I hid in the dark and stared.
Countless possible scenarios, rehearsed countless times in my mind.
Sun Hanchao, Cheng Ruirui.
Try my hate.
An ordinary, low-level person who is bullied by you has a strong hatred.
When I raised my head to catch the residual warmth.
One drop, two drops.
The blood in my heart was also boiling hot, burning, and boiling rapidly.
Tonight is destined to be endless, right?
Then come on.
Either kill you guys, or kill my mediocre to hopeless life.
The only miscalculated step was that I didn't know I was too nervous and the iron came off.
But by mistake, I climbed onto the balcony and saw Cheng Ruirui, who was still panting slightly and spitting out blood blisters.
To those eyes that are eager to ask for help.
I murmured softly.
"Go, die."
Then he grabbed her clothes.
The floral skirt bloomed quickly in front of my eyes, and then withered rapidly.
I looked at my hands full of blood, my short hair dancing wildly in the air, and in the distance there were sirens from far and near, like a sad song for death.
Tears poured out one after another, some wetting their broken hair, some falling on their chins.
I'm so happy.
Thank you for giving your lives to let me know.
Actually, I really want to live well.
……
I turned on my phone, created an account casually, and started live streaming in the same city.
"Hello everyone, this is my first live ......"
"Yes, I am the person concerned, thank you for your concern."
……… Finish.........
