Chapter 791 Murder and visit
Panting sound.
It's as if the ears have been covered, but through the resonance of the skull, you can clearly hear the sound of breathing with the utmost effort, mouth after mouth.
There is also the sound of a heartbeat.
It was dark all around, I don't know if it was dawn or after sunset.
She was running, looking back from time to time, with a panicked expression.
Barefoot, but the ground is not soft, there is no green grass, because it is muddy land, even uneven.
She turned her head again, and there seemed to be something horrible chasing after her.
Later she fell to the ground, but got up immediately. She no longer cared about her injured knee, and continued to run amidst the sound of panting.
Finally, she seemed to bump into something, soft, gentle, gentle.
"Don't be afraid, Caroline."
"Dad, the dog...a fierce dog...chasing me..."
"Don't be afraid, Caroline, I'm here."
I am here. I am here.
I am here…
I…
Take a deep breath.
Pupils as beautiful as paint patterns blooming in water suddenly appeared, breaking all the darkness. The first thing Caroline saw were the blades of the ceiling fan turning slowly.
She was wet all over, and she didn't know when she was sweating, which made her feel uncomfortable. The sunlight came in from the outside, a little dazzling.
I should still be lying on the sofa, in the living room of Livia's boyfriend Arnold's house. Caroline closed her eyes again to allow herself to regain consciousness.
It seems that he overslept, and originally planned to leave early in the morning.
Caroline opened her eyes again, feeling a lot more comfortable. At the same time, she also felt that the hand hanging under the sofa seemed to be holding something. She let go of her hand subconsciously, and then heard the sound of' bang'.
Seems to be metal?
Caroline tilted her head and looked under the sofa, her vision changed from blurred to sober. Then, she saw a knife—literally, a small knife for peeling fruit.
The front of the silver blade has a touch of bright red, which is easy to think that the color attached to the blade will be blood.
A few seconds later, Caroline, who seemed to realize something, suddenly sat up, stood up, and tried to call Livia's name, "Livia? Livia? Levi...Ah!"
She tried to look in the direction of Livia and her boyfriend's room, but at this moment, she saw Livia sitting at the dining table.
She was sitting facing the chair, her chin resting on the back of the chair, looking at Caroline with wide-eyed eyes. Her hands hang down naturally, and the floor under the chair is a big dark red thing.
Caroline could even see the traces of blood that had slid down the white plastic chair stool legs.
"Livia!!"
Caroline rushed to the front of the chair, frightened, shaking her palms, and patted Livia on the shoulder, as if trying to 'wake up' Livia, and then she was able to tell her that it was just a joke.
The body...is so stiff, even a little cold, without the softness of a woman's skin at all.
"ah-!"
Caroline screamed in horror.
Corpse, blood... **** knife... For a moment, Caroline seemed to realize something: the room was eerily quiet at the moment, and there was obviously one person missing!
Livia's boyfriend, the man who is going to college: Arnold.
"Calm down, calm down... calm down."
Caroline forced herself to calm down. She tried to make herself remember what happened last night.
Because it was too hot in the small room last night, she quietly came out in the middle of the night. After taking a cold shower, she lay down on the sofa in the living room, and then fell asleep unknowingly—until she woke up .
Then she held the **** knife in her hand, Livia died, and Arnold disappeared. Since I fell asleep, I naturally couldn't and couldn't do anything, so... Arnold?
He killed Livia, and then left in a hurry. Because of fear, he even put the murder weapon in his hand, trying to frame himself?
But... why did Arnold kill Livia?
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out at all, Caroline just feels that her brain is in a mess at the moment. She didn't know what to do... maybe calling the police was the right thing to do at this time?
She just instinctively thought she needed to find someone—someone who could help her.
Mobile phone... She returned to the sofa, looked for her mobile phone, and saw her bag dropped on the other side of the coffee table. Caroline suddenly had a bad feeling.
She picked up her bag all at once, and quickly searched through it.
No no!
She even poured out all the contents of the bag, makeup mirror, lipstick, keys, tissues... A lot of sundries were scattered on the ground, and Caroline even shook the empty bag vigorously, but...
still none!
That bank card!
Restrooms...no.
The utility room where I stayed last night...no.
Arno's room...no!
Everywhere, she frantically checked everything in the house that she could see—nothing!
No.
Caroline fell to her knees weakly on the ground... What should I do? what to do?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and a woman's voice, "Did something happen? Is anyone there?"
The sound of knocking on the door continued.
Frightened, Caroline rushed to the door quickly. Through the eyehole on the door, she saw a middle-aged woman with a bag of garbage in her hand...it seemed to be a resident of this building.
"Anyone? I just heard screaming? Hey? Anyone?"
I…
Caroline called out instinctively, but the voice was not loud, and she immediately covered her mouth—asking this woman for help?
Obviously not realistic.
"Arnold, are you back?"
The woman outside the door suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the stairs. Caroline's expression changed slightly when she heard the woman outside the door. She moved her pupils closer to the door hole again, and at the same time vaguely heard the voice of a man... Is it Arnold?
"Mrs. Riley, good morning, I just got back from college. What happened?"
Middle-aged woman... Mrs. Riley smiled and said at this time: "Have you stayed up all night at school again? You child, you are too hardworking, but you should also pay attention to your health."
"I see, it's just that there is an important exam recently, so I need to work harder."
"Good boy. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Why don't you come over to my house?" Mrs. Riley smiled.
Caroline still couldn't see the appearance of the man who spoke, but the voice... even if it became a little unclear through the door, she could barely recognize it. It seemed to be Arnold's voice—last night, she and A Nuo Nuo met, but didn't talk a few words.
"Okay, I'm going to trouble you again today, Mrs. Riley. By the way, let me put things away first... Oh, by the way, what are you doing standing in front of my house?"
"Oh, it's like this. When I just went downstairs to take out the trash, I suddenly heard a scream from your house. It's a woman..." Mrs. Riley winked at this moment and said, "Arnold, is it your daughter?" Friend? Don't hide it, how often do I see a beautiful woman come out of your house? Introduce me.”
"Where did I get my girlfriend? Mrs. Riley, don't talk nonsense." The man's face changed imperceptibly, and then he said immediately, "I'm focusing on my studies now."
As he spoke, he took out the key and faced the door.
Wearing a certain peaked cap, opening the door with his head down, only his chin can be seen.
Caroline finally couldn't see the man's appearance clearly...Although he was in the room all the time last night and only saw him once or twice, but he had the key to open the door, so Arnold was right.
But he actually...
The moment the key was inserted into the lock, time seemed to slow down. Caroline's eyes widened, and her heart beat fast!
This man...killed someone, then went out and came back, pretending that she was the murderer, once they opened the door and saw this scene...how should she argue?
"Mrs. Riley, wait for me, I'll be fine soon."
A Nuo opened the door of the house while talking. The room is very small, and you can see everything here almost as soon as you open the door... A Nuo suddenly froze and didn't understand.
Mrs. Riley felt very strange, and immediately asked: "Arnold?"
Arnold turned around stiffly, with a frightened expression on his face, "Mrs. Riley, I think... we are going to call the police. My family... someone died in my family!"
"What!" Mrs. Riley was startled, and hurriedly squeezed into the room, bearing the brunt of seeing the dead woman sitting on the stool——Livia!
Ms. Riley was so frightened that she couldn't even hold the garbage bag in her hand, but at this moment, Arnold rushed towards the balcony and shouted: "Someone jumped off the building!"
Mrs. Riley hurried over and looked up from the balcony. The house is not high, and this is the second floor. Mrs. Riley only saw a figure running away in a hurry.
"It's a woman!"
The two said in unison.
is a house by the sea, only two stories high, but the price is obviously not cheap-this is a rented apartment for those who are on vacation.
There is nothing wrong with the house number.
Song Haoran tidied up his clothes, which is the most basic quality of a gentleman—at the same time, he was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
After pressing the doorbell, Song Haoran waited quietly. The salty sea breeze was blowing, and it was obviously not very comfortable in the hot weather. But there was no sweat on his body, and he looked very calm.
Soon after, the door of the apartment opened.
Song Haoran showed a bright smile, "Hello, we meet again, Miss You Ye."
The maid who was simply wearing casual clothes showed a surprised expression. Song Haoran felt a little proud of her unexpected appearance - he actually knew that he actually had some bad tastes, for example, he liked to see other people's surprised expressions.
"Mr. Song, is that you?"
"Is Luo Qiu here?" Song Haoran smiled slightly: "I came here at the invitation. You guys won't forget that you want to invite me to dinner, right?"
"How could it be!" You Ye quickly greeted Song Haoran and walked into the apartment.
Song Haoran gave out the flowers in his hand, and said with a smile, "This is for you, platycodon flower, sincere and unchanging love, I hope you will like it."
"Thank you." You Ye was slightly taken aback, then smiled and took it from Song Haoran's hand.
"Who is here?"
A figure stepped out of the kitchen at this time, and it was the new owner of a certain club—the owner was still wearing an apron and holding a long wooden spoon for seasoning.
"Mr. Song!" Luo Qiu was equally astonished, then put down the things in his hands, and walked out while unbuttoning his apron, "It's really you!"
Song Haoran moved his nose, smelling the aroma of some food, and said happily: "It seems that I came at the right time... Didn't you say that you want to treat me to a meal?"
He blinked, as if joking: "Could it be that you forgot?"
"How could it be, you are very welcome." Luo Qiu smiled calmly, but said helplessly, "It's a pity that I didn't prepare braised lion's head today."
"It's okay." Song Haoran joked: "If you make this dish today, then I will be surprised."
Speaking, Song Haoran walked into the room, You Ye hurriedly greeted him with tea, and Luo Qiu walked into the kitchen, first turned off the cooking seafood soup.
Luo Qiu sat down, looked at Song Haoran and said, "Mr. Song, I am relieved to see that you are safe. I have been paying attention to the news last night, but the report is not very detailed. I heard that there was a fierce fight afterwards. ?”
"It is true that some people died." Song Haoran said in a relaxed tone, "But in this country, it is not uncommon for people to die."
He looked at an atlas on the coffee table, took it curiously, flipped through a few pages, and found that it was a colorful atlas introducing paleontology in the world, and on it were some rare animal and plant species.
Song Haoran suddenly said: "Do you like this kind of thing?"
Luo Qiu said casually: "I'm actually a paleontology major. I was a little curious when I heard about the strange black python mentioned in Mr. Song's adventure story in the restaurant last time, so I wanted to check to see if I could find it. clues or something."
"Do you still remember that story?" Song Haoran smiled, blinked and said, "Actually, I made it up."
Boss Luo just smiled and said nothing.
At this time, You Ye put on the apron that the boss had taken off, and walked into the kitchen, intending to take over and finish the dishes. Song Haoran glanced at it, then smiled and said: "This daughter-in-law, it's okay!"
Luo Qiu suddenly said: "Please wait a moment."
Under Song Haoran's curious gaze, Luo Qiu went upstairs, and came down with a box in his hand not long after. He walked up to Song Haoran, opened the box, and said seriously: "Mr. Song, I think this thing should be returned to you."
"Oh?" Song Haoran was amused, took out the contents of the box, and then fiddled with it a few times—this was one of the equipment he got from the gangsters in the theater last night: a pistol.
Song Haoran skillfully disassembled the magazine, glanced at it casually, and suddenly looked at Luo Qiu and asked, "Don't you even need a single bullet?"
Luo Qiu shook his head: "I don't need this kind of thing."
Song Haoran said: "This is a good thing..."
Speaking, Song Haoran seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Luo Qiu, I'm here this time, and there's actually one thing I want you to take a look at."
"Wait and see."
Song Haoran took out the phone, clicked on the screen, then the photo album, and finally put it in front of Luo Qiu, and said calmly: "Do you have any impression of this person?"
In the photo album of the mobile phone, there is a yellowed photo, and even because of the age, there are many white spots on the black and white photo.
It has faded, and the outline of the person in the photo can only be barely seen clearly.
A very young photo, wearing an unmarked military uniform, holding an earthen bayonet rifle... Song Haoran looked at Luo Qiu's expression at this time, and said softly: "This is my uncle, Song Tianyin."
