Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 31 Diary
Across the street, a cold man was sitting near the window of the coffee shop on the second floor. He was holding a coffee cup and watching everything that happened on the opposite side with no expression on his face.

There was quite a lot of movement outside, and far more than men were curious about why the crowd suddenly gathered, so in a short period of time, many people gathered near the glass windows, looking far away, trying to figure out what happened.

The coffee shop is not big, and the glass wall is not that wide. However, in this case, the other places are already full of people, but the area where the man is is empty, and no one approaches.

Everyone seemed to have completely forgotten about this area and this man, and all the hustle and bustle seemed to have nothing to do with the latter.

He didn't say a word, he didn't move, as if he lived in two parallel time and space completely different from people.

At the same time, in a certain office of the police station, a real-time surveillance screen was playing on the computer screen, showing the scene of Bai Mo taking over the camera and looking around at everyone.

Lu Zhan tapped on the table lightly, staring at the monitoring screen without blinking, his eyes stayed on Mo Qingcheng for a while, and then fell on He Lanlan who was opposite her, his face was a little colder.

Seeing Bai Mo's sudden appearance, Lu Zhan was a little surprised that his aura could suppress the audience. After thinking for a moment, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Team Lu."

In the coffee shop, the man with a cold expression glanced at the vibrating cell phone in his pocket and connected the call.

He seemed to have a lot of experience in voyeurism. Although his eyes never moved away from Bai Mo who was opposite him, he always maintained a nonchalant state, avoiding attracting the attention of the target.

"Keep an eye on these people."

Lu Zhan's tone was calm, and he ordered on the phone, "Anyone who dares to talk about topics related to the restricted area will be killed."

"clear."

The man replied concisely without any hesitation.

He actually knew very well in his heart that although talking about the restricted area was a felony, it was not enough to deserve death. Lu Zhan's order was obviously excessive.

However, even knowing this, the man still did not refute, expressing acceptance.

After a pause, Lu Zhan reminded: "Remember, it's fine to kill, but don't openly use your ability to kill people, especially not to let the target named Bai Mo find out."

"Yes."

The man's answer was still simple.

The air was quiet for a breath.

Lu Zhan on the other end of the phone paused, and suddenly said tentatively, "By the way, you are..."

"...Chen Shi, my name is Chen Shi."

"Oh, Chen Shi, I remember you, hahaha..."

Without giving the other party a chance to respond, Lu Zhan hung up the phone hastily and rubbed his face hard.

He looked at the screen, then at the yellowed diary on the table, his expression became gloomy again.

This is the diary that Xia Yuxi found under the bed after reading the scattered memories of the dead man on the ninth floor of the Sunshine Apartment by virtue of her [telepathy] ability.

……

The moment I saw my new neighbor, I was momentarily absent-minded.

It's not because the girl is so special, but because she looks familiar. If I remember correctly, her name is Chen Xiaoyue.

Such a presumptuous interruption will naturally make the girl feel wary of me. She hides her body behind the door and listens to my explanation of her visit.

I came here specially to say hello to her. As a neighbor across the street, we will have to deal with each other in the future, and it is very important to establish a relationship with the neighbors.

The girl seemed uninspired, she said "Oh" expressionlessly, and closed the door.

Although I was deflated, I was not angry, and even expressed understanding. When I went back to the house, I quickly found the news not long ago.

"The kidnapper died strangely in the rental house. After 13 years, the curse reappeared?"

This news said that half a month ago, an old man kidnapped a young girl, but when the police rushed to the scene, they found that the old man who was the kidnapper had already fallen to the ground and lost his vital signs.

The victim was tied to a chair not far from the body, and his eyes and mouth were blindfolded.

There were many syringes on the ground, and needle holes were found on both the girl and the old man. After testing, the police found that there was residual sedative in the girl's body, and drugs were found in the old man's body.

After questioning the victim and multiple investigations, the police restored the original appearance of the matter.

Because the old man had no money to buy drugs, he decided to extort money through kidnapping. After he took the victim away with a drink that could make people unconscious, he took him to a temporary rental house.

His modus operandi was full of flaws, and his course of action was completely exposed to surveillance. The police quickly locked his location.

I'm afraid even the old man himself didn't expect that he died at the scene of the crime before he had time to ask for the ransom, which is full of drama.

After the girl was rescued, the police criticized and educated her, telling her to pay more attention to everything, and the case was solved smoothly.

However, there are several doubts in this case. The victim had already drank a sufficient dose of coma-inducing drugs before. Why did the old man take the extra effort and then inject a sedative?
Moreover, Tianyan showed that the old man had monitored many people for a long time before committing a crime. Among them, there were many rich and noble families who were easy to attack. Why did he finally choose victims who were not rich?
The most important point is that the police still can't find the old man's words to clarify the cause of death. It's like he was suddenly deprived of his life... just like those previous cases.

This is why the word "curse" was used in the report.

As early as more than ten years ago, this old drug addict had experienced a kidnapping incident, but at that time he was not the kidnapper, but the victim.

On that day, a bizarre thing happened. The kidnapper in that incident also died suddenly in the house, and the cause of death was also undetermined.

Going back further, he turned out to be the victim of another incident ten years ago...

Since the first kidnapping case, this has happened for the seventh time. Although not every time is related to kidnapping, one thing is the same... that is, every time someone dies strangely, the people around him will Die the same way one day.

Like a curse.

It is precisely because of this that every time the victim will be regarded as an ominous person, and life will change accordingly.

This time the news was reported by me. Of course, I have seen the victim. She is the girl who lives opposite me now.

In this way, the reason why she moved suddenly was probably due to the rumors of the curse.

I sighed, and suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, maybe I could use her to find the truth of the matter?
I never believed in so-called curses. My father always told me that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, but only elusive human hearts.

……

I tried to get in touch with this girl named Chen Xiaoyue, but maybe the kidnapping caused a psychological shadow. She was always wary of me and couldn't say a word.

Chen Xiaoyue always has a cold look, which is inconsistent with the information I know. The investigation shows that she is a lively and cheerful girl, who treats people warmly and has no heart, otherwise she would not easily drink the kidnapper's drink.

I understand the reason for her personality change, but I am more eager for the truth, so I can only take the liberty to interrupt again and again.

On this day, I knocked on the door of the girl's house again.

"What's up?"

Chen Xiaoyue quickly opened the door. After getting along for a period of time, she was no longer so wary of me. Her calm eyes were bloodshot, and she seemed not in a good mood.

"My friend originally came to my house for dinner, but he missed the appointment, and he couldn't finish the meal alone, so..."

I hesitated, but she took my words: "So you want me to go to your house for dinner?"

"Row."

The girl's straightforwardness caught me off guard, and I even suspected that she hadn't learned the lesson of kidnapping, and she had already entered my home on her own.

I withdrew my thoughts, went into the room, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, and handed it to Chen Xiaoyue.

She looked up at me and didn't answer.

I smiled awkwardly, shook the Coke in my hand, and explained, "I haven't opened it before."

She still didn't answer, and it took a long time before she asked, "Is there any wine?"

I froze for a moment, then shook my head, "I don't have the habit of drinking, and I want to say that it's best not to drink when girls get along with strangers."

Chen Xiaoyue waved her hands and said seriously: "Boys are the same."

This girl is easier to get along with than I imagined, and she will basically follow up on what I say, and the atmosphere at the dinner table is not bad, but from the beginning to the end, she has always looked expressionless.

"Are you engaged?" I had already noticed the ring on her ring finger and asked aloud.

Chen Xiaoyue froze for a moment, hid that hand under the table, shook her head and said, "No."

She obviously didn't want to mention this matter, and I didn't pursue it, so I simply changed the subject: "You don't seem to be in a good spirit."

"Can't sleep."

"Is it because of the kidnapping case?" Sensing her puzzled look, I quickly explained, "I'm a reporter and I met you the other day."

She withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Well, I often have nightmares."

"I know about this kind of situation. You can go to a psychiatrist, or you can go for a walk with your friends when you have time."

Chen Xiaoyue glanced at me, shook her head, and put down her chopsticks.

"I don't have any friends anymore, and I will in the future." She stood up and walked out of the room, "I'm full, thank you for your meal."

I froze in place, inexplicably feeling a little lonely from her back.

I'm sorry, I'm too busy today, so I don't have time to update it. Logically speaking, I should have finished writing the plot of the confrontation with He Lanlan in the street, but I took the time to read what I wrote before, and I felt really dissatisfied, so I had to delete it. , I kept my head empty after that, so I had to temporarily change to another line and write first, sorry for affecting everyone's reading experience.

Thank you for the [-] dot coins rewarded by Latiao Zun. This situation should have been updated more, but I didn’t expect it to be too late and too short... I’m really ashamed.

I will try to update as much as possible on weekends as compensation, sorry.
