can not breath

Chapter 40 Epilogue 1
Zhou Yuanyi sat on the sofa chair in the office and fell into a sweet dream.In the dream, he seemed to feel that he had become another person.

He seemed to be trapped in an extremely cold and dark cave, unable to see anything, but he could feel pairs of eyes secretly peeping at him around him.He wanted to struggle to get out of the cave, but his legs were caught by something.Zhou Yuanyi tentatively groped his feet with both hands, he wanted to know what was pulling him.He touched a pair of cold hands, which had no warmth at all, and were pulling his trousers tightly.

Zhou Yuanyi was a little puzzled, he was obviously standing at the bottom of the cave, who would hold his trousers?Where is the owner of these cold hands?

He opened the hands and lifted them up violently. Who knew that the hands seemed to be hanging in the air, and they didn't belong to anyone at all.Zhou Yuanyi felt as if he had hit the cotton with his fist, and fell to the ground in a sense of loss.

At this time, suddenly a beam of light shot out from the cave inexplicably, and the inside was illuminated brightly.Seeing everything around him, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help his heart beating violently.

Beside him, there are bloody fragments of limbs everywhere, fingers, arms, thighs, torso, and directly opposite him, there is a broken head.The head's eyes were wide open, black blood was flowing from the eye sockets, and it was looking directly at him resentfully.

Zhou Yuanyi recognized it, the owner of this head was Xie Yixue, and she had been dismembered into unrecognizable pieces at this moment.In one corner of the cave, there is also a chainsaw with a creaking handle!
Zhou Yuanyi was confused by this sudden visual impact.He wanted to call for help, but found that he couldn't make a sound. His throat seemed to become narrow all of a sudden, and the airflow couldn't pass through at all-this was a feeling of being unable to breathe!

The chainsaw on the ground suddenly flew up, and no one was manipulating it. It was inexplicably suspended in the air by itself, as if an invisible invisible person was holding it.The saw tip moved slowly towards Zhou Yuanyi. Zhou Yuanyi wanted to avoid it, but found that he couldn't move at all. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground by bone-penetrating nails, and he couldn't move even half a step.

Looking at the squeaking chainsaw, Zhou Yuanyi felt the fear of imminent death.His eyes bulged and nearly popped out of their sockets.He opened his mouth wide, wanting to scream.

Finally, the airflow in the lungs broke through the confinement of the throat, and just when the chainsaw tip was about to pierce his neck, he uttered the most miserable scream:

"Ah-"
"What's wrong? Team Zhou."
When Zhou Yuanyi woke up, he saw Xiao Gao sitting opposite him, looking at him in surprise while reading the newspaper.

"Oh, sorry, I had a nightmare just now." Zhou Yuanyi explained.

He recalled the nightmare he had just now, and couldn't help but wonder, how could he dream of such a thing?Could it be that Xie Yixue has already encountered a murderous hand, and is this her vengeful spirit entrusting her dream to Zhou Yuanyi to tell her own experience?
Zhou Yuanyi could not help but shudder.He didn't believe in any theory of supernatural powers, and he believed that it was the result of being obsessed with this case, thinking about it day by day, and dreaming about it at night.

However, he can be sure that if Xie Yixue hasn't been murdered by now, then she must be in trouble.Now she must be found immediately!
But where did Long Qionghe take Xie Yixue?Even Long Qionghe's son didn't know where his mother could hide, let alone the police.

Zhou Yuanyi scratched his head, he knew he had encountered a real problem.

He walked to the window and saw a red sun slowly struggling out from the sky, and it was about to dawn.

The last whereabouts of Long Qionghe was provided by the stall owner at the station near the psychiatric hospital. At that time, Long Qionghe got on a bus bound for the city.

Where did Long Qionghe go after getting into that car?

Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help thinking, would the conductor of that bus have an impression of Long Qionghe?After all, at that time, there were very few passengers getting on the train from the psychiatric hospital station, maybe the conductor would have an impression.

Zhou Yuanyi immediately called and asked Wang Li to take Long Qionghe's photo to visit the bus convoy to see if any of the drivers remembered Long Qionghe's appearance.

Fortunately, this bus line runs from the urban area to Guoshan Reservoir.Yesterday was not a rest day, so there were very few people going back to the city from Guoshan, and almost every bus returned empty at noon.The road team quickly found out which car passed the psychiatric hospital at noon yesterday.

When the conductor of that car saw Wang Li, he immediately recalled the situation at noon yesterday—it was indeed only a middle-aged woman in her 50s who got on the train at the station of a mental hospital, and was looking at the simulation puzzle Wang Li handed over. It was immediately confirmed that it was Long Qionghe who got into the car.The bus business was really bad that day, so the conductor told Wang Li with certainty that Long Qionghe did not take the bus back to the city, but got off at a station called Sujiazhuang.

Sujiazhuang is located in the fringe area of ​​urban and rural areas, which is famous for the disorderly and lack of planning of privately built illegal buildings.Almost every household in Sujiazhuang built a low and simple one-story house on their own enclosure, and then rented it out to migrant workers at an extremely low price.

Sujiazhuang has always been an area where security incidents frequently occur, and the renters are extremely mixed.After learning about this situation, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help thinking, would Long Qionghe rent a room there to imprison Xie Yixue?After all, Long Qionghe's economy is not rich, and she doesn't have more money to rent a house with a higher price.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yuanyi brought a group of brothers to Su's Village.They separately showed Long Qionghe's photo to the villagers to see if any villagers knew her.It's a pity that no villager has ever noticed such an unattractive middle-aged woman beside her.If Long Qionghe really rented a house here, then she must seldom come here.Even if they come, they must be reclusive and unobtrusive.Besides, the public security situation in Sujiazhuang was already very complicated, and the villagers also took the attitude that more things are worse than less things, and they didn't bother to care about other people's affairs.

Fortunately, after learning about the situation, the household registration police of the local police station in Sujiazhuang immediately summoned all the owners of the rental houses and explained the serious relationship to them.The household registration police told these homeowners very seriously that if it was found out that the woman in the photo had rented someone's house in the future, and no one knew about it now, then the homeowner would not have good fruit in the future.

After saying this, a sickly middle-aged man finally stepped forward timidly and said, "This woman approached me a month ago, but she didn't like my house. She said she wanted to rent a room." The walled yard..."
The homeowners immediately chattered, and they all told the police that there are not many walled yards in Sujiazhuang. A month ago, there was only one vacant place, which was at the foot of the back mountain.And the owner of that yard went to his son's house in the south to take his grandson some time ago, so he didn't come to the scene today.

Zhou Yuanyi was very excited, he felt that he was getting closer to Long Qionghe.After asking about the specific location of the courtyard, they rushed there as quickly as possible...

After Zhou Yuanyi led his brothers into the courtyard, he found Xie Yixue who was tied up on the bed.Xie Yixue was still alive, she stared blankly at the water stains on the ceiling that looked like eyes, wanting to cry without tears.When she saw Zhou Yuanyi who had broken into the door, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.On her face, there was no trace of joy in the rest of her life.

Yes, what is more terrifying than the fear of the unknown is always the cruel truth.

The police officers searched the entire yard, but could not find any trace of Long Qionghe.Asked about Xie Yixue, but she only knew how to cry aloud, unable to speak a word.

After a long time, Xie Yixue finally regained her composure.

"What happened yesterday? What did Long Qionghe do to you?" Zhou Yuanyi asked loudly.

Xie Yixue shook her head numbly, and said, "She didn't do anything to me...she just did something to the child in my belly..."
It was only then that Zhou Yuanyi noticed that Xie Yixue's inner thighs were left with some dried black bloodstains...

The night before, Xie Yixue looked at the chainsaw in Long Qionghe's hand in horror, and broke down and burst into tears. She cried out in despair: "Sister He, I usually treat you so well, and I have new clothes for you to wear." , I will keep something delicious for you, why do you treat me like this? Even if Shen Jianguo is sorry to you, I have never done anything to be sorry to you.

At this time, she heard Long Qionghe let out a faint sigh.

Long Qionghe looked at the lamb tied to the bed that was about to be slaughtered, and slowly said: "Yes, you are really good to me. Alas, the fault is that you left behind Shen Jianguo's seed! I can keep Your life, but I cannot spare the life of Shen Jianguo's son.

She put down the chainsaw in her hand, walked to the side of the bed, took out an injection from the bedside drawer, and said to Xie Yixue, "Do you know what this is?"
Xie Yixue shook her head in fear.

"This is the medicine I took out in Xiaohai's medicine storage room. Xiaohai told me that it is the best abortion medicine. Don't be too sad. I added sleeping pills to the chicken soup you drank yesterday. Not surprisingly, even if you give birth to a child in the future, the child will be deformed due to the influence of sleeping pills. It may be better for you to get rid of it now." Long Qionghe said, skillfully moving the needle The medicine is mixed with sterile water for injection and drawn into the syringe.

She glanced at Xie Yixue, who was crying silently.Long Qionghe didn't say anything more, she raised the syringe full of medicine in her hand.

"Ah--" Xie Yixue finally couldn't help crying when she felt the pain from the needle prick in her buttocks...

"Where did Long Qionghe go now?" Zhou Yuanyi asked Xie Yixue anxiously.

Xie Yixue shook her head in pain, and said, "I don't know, and I don't know where she went. Last night, after giving me an abortion pill, she gave me another injection of sleeping pills. Not long after I woke up, There you are."
Where is Long Qionghe?

Just when Zhou Yuanyi was having a headache about Long Qionghe's whereabouts, he suddenly heard a burst of intense 24 polyphonic cell phone ringtones "Nunchaku" coming from his briefcase.

Taking out the phone and looking at the caller ID, Zhou Yuanyi was immediately stunned.The call was from Xie Yixue's mobile phone -- needless to say, it was from Long Qionghe.

"Hey, is this Captain Zhou? Take someone to look for Xie Yixue in a farmyard at the foot of the back mountain of Sujiazhuang, she must be starving now, hahaha——" There was a sinister smile from the phone The voice was indeed from Long Qionghe.

"Long Qionghe, where are you? Turn yourself in, and try to be lenient."
"Haha, don't be funny. Do you believe that a murderer who killed five people would be exempted from death because he turned himself in? Rather than being shot, it is better to hide, so that you will never find me for the rest of your life! To tell you the truth, Xiao Hai has already When I grow up, I will soon graduate to earn money, and I don’t have to worry about him anymore. I will go to other cities, as long as I see someone being bullied anywhere, I will use my own means to avenge the weak!” Joan He said coldly.She immediately added, "The reason why I called you this time is to let you find Xie Yixue so that she won't starve to death, haha!"
"Do you think you are a hero?" Zhou Yuanyi yelled into the phone microphone angrily, "The people you killed were people around Shen Jianguo and Li Hanliang. Shen Jianguo and Li Hanliang are still alive and well. What kind of revenge is this?"
"Hahahaha!" Long Qionghe laughed hysterically.After a while, she stopped laughing, and said quietly: "Do you think I will let them go? Tell you, they will not end well! Maybe you can hear the news of their death at any time !Even if I can't kill them with my own hands, God will take them for me! Haha, hahahaha——" She laughed wildly again.

When Zhou Yuanyi heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.What does Long Qionghe mean by this?Why did she say that both Shen Jianguo and Li Hanliang would die?Is she going to continue her revenge?Zhou Yuanyi suddenly felt some tightness in his chest, and the feeling of being unable to breathe struck his heart again.

At this time, Long Qionghe said on the phone again: "Officer Zhou, I did everything. I hope you don't embarrass my son Xiaohai in the future. He has nothing to do with the case! He is a good student who does his duty !"
Zhou Yuanyi sneered and said, "Do you think he really has nothing to do with the case? Let me tell you, when your good son Long Hai knew that Zhao Wei had called Xie Yixue to extort 3 yuan, he sent a text message yesterday pretending to be The murderer also came to covet 3 yuan. Last night when he was withdrawing money, he was caught on the spot. Even if he is not a murderer, the crime of extorting 3 yuan is enough for him to stay in prison for several years* - This is the good son you raised and educated.

After saying this, there was silence on the other end of the phone.After a while, Long Qionghe's hysterical cry came from over there: "No! Impossible! This can't be true! Xiao Hai wouldn't do such a thing! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"
Suddenly there was a loud "bang" on the phone, and then Long Qionghe's voice became blurred and distant.She must have thrown the phone on the ground in a hurry.

There was only a whistling wind on the phone, and there seemed to be a few train whistles faintly—Zhou Yuanyi guessed that Long Qionghe must be somewhere near the railway track.

When the train whistle became clearer and clearer, the mobile phone signal stopped abruptly.
