Chapter 8

In the bar at zero o'clock, the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter. Young men and women are dancing wildly on the dance floor. Middle-aged people who can't dance are holding expensive drinks and sitting in booths near the dance floor to enjoy the young people's unrestrained passion vitality.

Teng Yao, who was still huddled in a dark corner, looked like an old man, slowly drinking a refill of Coke.

The little boss, who was disguised as a waiter, put a glass of beer on his table: "Don't you think you are out of place?"

"I don't think so," Tengyao pointed to the girl on the other side of the bar, "She drank orange juice all night."

"She's a girl, what's wrong with drinking orange juice!"

Tengyao smiled and pointed to his face: "A boy like me who was accosted by eight men and women in one night should protect himself even more."

The little boss rolled his eyes and left, and came back with a fruit plate after a while, as if Teng Yao was a poor customer, and the fruit plate was his most extravagant consumption tonight.

She placed the fruit plate heavily on the table to cover up her voice: "There are four guests who invite the orange juice girl to drink tonight, and the one you stare at is one of them."

It is not necessary to face-to-face to drink at a bar. Some guests like to play deep and ask the waiter to serve each other a glass of wine directly.Da Jun is this kind of person, he has never approached the Orange Juice girl, but Tengyao found that his gaze would always pass over the girl inadvertently.The little boss has known Teng Yao for many years, and there is still some tacit understanding.

"I hope he just has too much money and nowhere to spend it, instead of having some thoughts that he shouldn't have." Teng Yao muttered and took a sip of beer, his slightly drooping eyelids well concealed the true emotions in his eyes.

The little boss was slightly surprised, Teng Yao seldom drank outside, and once he drank, it meant that he was not in a good mood.She resisted the urge to look at Dajun, and she was very curious about what kind of commission Tengyao was investigating this time. He was never a person who would be emotionally fluctuated because of customers.

The noise in the bar was still escalating, and the orange juice girl rubbed her forehead, as if she didn't like the atmosphere very much.She paid the money and left the bar, and the army quickly chased after seeing her.Teng Yao stretched drunkenly, and wandered out from the side door with a fruit plate, just in time to see the girl walking by the path in front, and the army sneaking behind her.

The girl obviously didn't drink, but she staggered a little. She walked through the old streets and alleys while leaning on the mottled walls, and turned into the old city.Dajun persevered and followed closely. Occasionally, when passers-by glanced at him, he would respond with a shy smile, as if the girl in front of him was his angry girlfriend, and he was an infatuated boyfriend who was worried about his drunken girlfriend.

Teng Yao forked a piece of watermelon and put it in his mouth, chewing while looking at the map, he felt that the girl's trajectory was familiar before, and a certain route marked by him on the map confirmed his idea - two more steps ahead The street is the wild building.

Dajun seemed to be very familiar with the old city. He no longer followed so closely, and his limbs, which had been tense all the way, gradually relaxed. Now he is like a devastated social animal about to tear off his cowardly disguise and transform into a werewolf.

The girl was a little afraid of the legend of Yelou, and after Yelou appeared in her field of vision, her pace quickened a lot.

Dajun no longer hid his whereabouts, and the clacking sound of his leather shoes on the concrete floor made him feel particularly frightened in the quiet old street.

Teng Yao clenched the fruit plate that had been eaten up, and was ready to send a flying saucer to the army at any time to cut his legs.

His attention was all focused on the two people in front of him, he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet at all, and he tripped and stumbled after walking a long distance.Looking down, the hairs all over Teng Yao's body stood on end—there was a person lying in the shadow formed by the wall and the ground, regardless of his body shape or attire, wasn't it the orange juice girl!

The orange juice girl is down here, what is it that is leading the army to the wild building?

Teng Yao raised his eyes and looked again, but the two had disappeared. He didn't know whether they had turned into the wild building or turned into the alley on the other side of the wild building. He wanted to chase after him, but he was worried about leaving the fainted girl alone. Throw it here.While he was struggling, the loud siren pierced the silence of the night. Two police cars came out from the opposite street and stopped in front of the gate of the wild building. The closed iron gate slowly opened.

Before he had time to think about it, Teng Yao picked up the girl and ran over, put the unconscious girl on the police car and rushed into the wild building, and was stopped by the police before breaking through the gate.

Lu Yuan, who was standing by the gate holding the key, saw him and greeted him.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Teng Yao felt a little relieved, he dragged him aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Lu Yuan's face was serious: "I dug up a corpse while cleaning the yard today, so I called the police."

Teng Yao wanted to ask "did it be dug out from the bottom of the swimming pool", but Lu Yuan continued: "The police comrades learned that the corpse had no head, so they brought police dogs to investigate the scene, but unexpectedly found six more corpses in the yard. "

Teng Yao was almost choked to death by his own saliva: "We found seven in total?"

Lu Yuan said "Hmm", "While they were digging up the body, a man sneaked in and was caught by the police."

Teng Yao looked in the direction of his finger, and it was Dajun who was escorted out by the police.

Dajun seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and he was in a semi-mad state, yelling vague words, Teng Yao listened carefully but didn't quite understand, only vaguely discerned that he was pleading guilty, he admitted that he had killed three people, They were all buried in the backyard of Yelou.

Teng Yao was speechless when he heard that: "I've killed three of them."

Lu Yuan said: "He himself said that the last time he committed the crime was more than a week ago, and the comatose man we met in the backyard last night should have been beaten into a vegetative state by him too."

Teng Yao's eyes widened immediately: Can this cauldron be thrown out?

Lu Yuan looked upright.

The policeman who handled the case saw the girl in the car and asked, "What's the matter with this girl?"

Teng Yao confessed honestly: "She collapsed in the alley over there, and I don't know what happened."

The other party looked him up and down: "What are you strolling around in the middle of the night?"

Teng Yao tugged on Lu Yuan's sleeve: "I came to see my friend, and I brought him a fruit plate... Hey, where is my fruit plate, why is there only one plate left?"

Lu Yuan naturally and smoothly supported Teng Yao who had been drinking a lot, and nodded apologetically to him.

After the police left, Lu Yuan led Teng Yao back to the villa and poured him a cup of hot milk.

Teng Yao was holding a warm cup, but his whole body kept feeling cold.

Lu Yuan saw that he had something on his mind, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Ten Yao held the cup tightly: "Actually, I followed the girl who fainted tonight."

Lu Yuan's brows moved slightly, revealing a half-smile expression.

Teng Yao couldn't help laughing: "Last night you swore that they couldn't leave the wild building casually." I didn't think about it before, but now I don't think about it.

Lu Yuan leaned on the sofa, his slender legs crossed, elegant like a medieval nobleman.He picked up his glass of milk and took a sip, then said flatly, "I let her out."

Ten Yao took a deep breath: "Why? Are you not afraid that she will go out and harm people?"

Lu Yuan looked at the rim of his own cup, and the rising heat engulfed his brows and eyes, blocking Teng Yao's probing sight.

In the end, Tengyao surrendered.

"You must have your considerations. Judging from the results, the murderer was brought to justice, and the girl was safe. Even the old turtle's coma and the corpses in the yard have a reasonable explanation, which is very good."

Lu Yuan put down his glass, and those opaque eyes became clear in Teng Yao's eyes: "The murderer killed three people, and there are seven corpses in the yard. Don't you wonder how the four extra people died?"

Teng Yao had long noticed the asymmetry of the data between the two, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan would know the reason behind it, but on second thought, it's nothing unusual.

"The first four people were not killed by him." The "he" Lu Yuan referred to was naturally the captured army. "Two years ago, he was just a victim."

Two years ago, there were several disappearance cases in the local area. The missing persons were male and female and had no commonality, so no one connected their disappearances together, and no one thought that their bones would be in the backyard of the wild building tonight. was dug out.

"It was the same murderer who killed them, and the body of that murderer, like the four people killed by him, had been buried underground for more than two years in the wild building. He missed the fifth target and was killed The opponent counter-killed."

Lu Yuan didn't say any more, but Teng Yao already understood everything.

The army is the murderer's fifth target and the terminator of this crazy serial killer.It was just a self-defense, but Da Jun embarked on another road of no return. He buried the serial murderer in the wild building, became the successor of the serial murderer himself, and committed the first murder in a very short period of time. , the victim was Xiaoyu who was buried under the swimming pool.

After that, he stopped for two years and committed another crime recently. If he hadn't been caught, he would have started to commit crimes like the murderer back then. At that time, he didn't know how many innocent people would be buried here.

This famous haunted house had no ghosts at first, but after being reduced to a burial ground, it gradually turned into a hell on earth.

"I don't understand," Tengyao murmured, propping his forehead, "The six young men who came to the wild building to explore were frightened mad after only one visit, and the murderer, who repeatedly sneaked into the wild building to bury his body, was safe and sound. Why don't they target the people who killed them, but instead target the innocent explorers, even the old turtles are innocent in this matter."

"'A grievance has a head and a debt has a owner' is the rule of the living, not the dead."

Lu Yuan looked at Teng Yao, felt his emotions gradually calm down, and then continued: "I have never seen this house when it was prosperous, but I know its feng shui must be excellent, and it has never been a place suitable for living people. They are not suitable for burial. The last murderer committed four bloody crimes in a short period of time. Before they had time to have the ability to revenge, the murderer died. The killer and the murdered are buried in the same place. This is an alternative Balance. The person killed by the second murderer is not subject to this balance, so you saw the female ghost and the head."

Only then did Teng Yao realize that the head he saw was the second person killed by the army, that is, the person who was killed not long ago.

"When the six young men came to explore, the owner of the human head was still in the human world, and the female ghost only had the ability to appear. She wandered around her own burial ground, frightening everyone who broke into it. They didn't die that night. Drink less, people are already confused after being drunk, and it is easy to lose their souls when they are severely frightened, which is what they show as crazy. The detective before the old turtle should have seen a female ghost, but he was in a state of lucidity Hit the ghost, and then retreat completely."

Teng Yao sat up straight, and his intuition told him that the most important part was coming soon.

"Until the head of the person you met was killed and the murderer took him to the wild building, he was not dead. He was beheaded in the fight with the murderer, and his blood was poured into the ground, and the bones of the female ghost were scattered all over the place. She nourished him. He himself had died not long ago, so he could only occasionally show his face in the strong yin energy after the female ghost appeared. When the old turtle came to the door, he caught up with the female ghost who had absorbed human blood, and her power was greatly increased. She suppressed it for two years This is a terrible power. By the way, that person's head was buried under the swimming pool very close to the sewer. The sewer system is more cloudy, and the head often runs around in it. He didn't know that you were soaking in the pool that night. Bath, sorry for scaring you."

At this point, the ins and outs of the whole matter are clear.

There is only one question left in Teng Yao's mind: "Did they tell you all this?"

"That's right." Lu Yuan took out a kraft paper portfolio from behind his back as if conjuring, and handed it to Teng Yao, "Look?"

Teng Yao poured out the thick paper inside. The content recorded on it was exactly the same as what Lu Yuan said. There was a signature at the end of each page. The signature of "Xiaoyu" on the penultimate page made Teng Yao's heart tremble violently. trembling.After the words are eight photos, including those of Dajun and Xiaoyu.Teng Yao looked through them one by one, and his gaze finally settled on the boy's face with a bright smile at the bottom.

Teng Yao had never met that boy who was probably underage, but he knew that they had met and chatted before.
