Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Six: Unfinished Business (Part 2)

Twelve years ago, what did you miss?

Wang Lu forced himself to return to the apartment again and again, but this time, he began to pay attention to every detail.

The closed TV, the clean coffee cups on the coffee table, the organized magazine... Just one living room is filled with countless details that he cannot judge whether it is related to the case.

Gradually, there were more noises in the library that did not seem to belong here.

The electrocardiogram beats regularly, the sound of footsteps from time to time, the conversation between nurses, the quarrels between patients' families, and the increasing sounds made him feel that another world is subtly replacing this place.

Looking around, the bookshelf in the distance are slowly disappearing.

"Old Wang, you don't have much time left."

The figure urged him.

"Don't urge me..."

As soon as he said that, Wang Lu suddenly realized that the one who quarreled with him here was not the ghost who had died for many years, but a projection of his own subconscious.

Subconsciously, he actually knew the answer?

It is precisely because of this that the figure raised the question just now - the final answer is hidden in this apartment.

"Lao Wang, why did you come here?"

Why?

Of course, it was because his mind suddenly became hot and he regained the unsolved case that he had left behind for many years. Because during the subsequent investigation, he gradually realized the boundary of the common sense world. Outside this boundary, there was a world that could not be interpreted with common sense and could not be controlled by someone's power.

The reason why his friend ended up in this way was probably because he touched this boundary.

"No, no, your answer is too complicated."

The figure was pacing anxiously in front of him, "Why did you come here?"

"Because I was put on a slight gesture by the little girl who disappeared in the case."

"What did you hear and what did you see?"

"I heard about the disappearance nine years ago."

"No, it's not this, what else did you hear?"

"Apart from Chu Wei's disappearance..."

Speaking of this, Wang Lu's voice suddenly came to an abrupt end.

At the end of Chu Wei's disappearance, Yao Su said something intriguing to him.

Chu Wei, late that night, voluntarily walked out of the rehabilitation center.

Later, through the smoke ring that Yao Su exhaled, he saw thin lines everywhere like spider webs. At that moment, all the thin lines gathered towards him.

This is the last picture he has seen.

Wang Lu's eyes remained on the body in the apartment.

Wang Lu has read the autopsy report more than once, and there were many knife wounds of varying depths on the deceased's body, which made the entire scene look messy, which also means that death has become a very long process. An experienced police officer will definitely try to leave some important information during this long process.

Unless, what he sees is appearance.

He was no longer furious in the apartment. He squatted beside the corpse, and all the pictures were frozen at this moment.

The major bleeding caused by carotid artery rupture was the first wound. The forensic's autopsy report did not make any mistakes, but in addition to the knife edge, Wang Lu saw an incision that was deeper and more secret than the incision.

It's like the traces left by the sharp thin threads entering the skin, in just one moment, it's enough to cut off the brain's dominance over the body.

It was just that it was covered up by the blade later.

Wang Lu smiled self-deprecatingly. No wonder he had only arrived here now. When Yao Su talked about Chu Wei's disappearance to him, before he saw the thin lines through the smoke ring, the slightest trace was just a detail that was destined to be missed by everyone.

The figure no longer paced anxiously, and his tone slowed down, "What does this mean?"

"It means we got the wrong direction from the beginning."

While speaking, even the bookshelf in front of him disappeared. Wang Lu stared at the nameless books that were burned out by flames and turned into ashes, and his whole body relaxed.

"That was not a missing case at all. They were just taken to an organization with similar smells."

“The answer is correct.”

Ironically, I felt guilty for a murderer for twelve years, mistakenly thinking that if he could find out everything at that time, he could completely change a person's destiny.

Before being killed, his friend had found Yao Su. He probably never thought that a missing girl would kill him, and even after succeeding, he could think of the disguise scene. Even many serial murderers might not have the courage and meticulous thoughts.

However, Wang Lu felt that he had no position to ridicule the other party.

Not long ago, after he found out about Yao Su, he also chose a place where no witnesses would appear to meet her because he was worried about the other party's safety.

Until the end, he didn't have time to leave any useful message of death.

"Then, the next thing is back to the beginning."

The figure broke the silence, "Who was the one who took them away?"

The library disappeared without a trace, and only two people standing side by side were left in the darkness. The answer to this question does not exist in any corner of the library and the subconscious.

This is destined to become an unaware puzzle.

“Not found.”

For a long time, Wang Lu realized that every time he solved a puzzle, more puzzles would await him. When he tried to explore the edges of common sense, he found that it was a place where he would never see the bottom.

Instead of wasting your life on an unsolvable puzzle, it is better to just put aside everything, tell fortunes for students, and find a few odd jobs, which will at least make the rest of your life more stable and comfortable.

Wang Lu did plan so.

However, meeting Gu Yun at the subway station that day made him recall the past and rekindled some unrealistic fantasies.

However, reality once again made him realize that pursuing unrealistic fantasies would sooner or later lead to such a fucking ending now.

"Oh, if I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to the subway station that day."

Wang Lu stretched and complained.

But from another perspective, he threw a bunch of messes to Gu Yun, which was a small revenge on the other party.

Hearing this, the figure spoke, "Is this what you really think?"

"What else can I do? Whether it is the guide or the kidnapper, that guy is like a ghost that I will never catch up with - you are quite right, Ji Wuchang, Yao Su, and Chu Wei disappeared without a trace back then, leaving no clue."

Camera probes, witnesses, air tickets, train tickets...

He searched all the places he could find, which made Wang Lu think that only ghosts in this world can disappear so neatly.

"But it's different now."

The figure shook his head, "Twelve years ago, the ghost you were pursuing came to my apartment. Even if it was really a ghost, it might leave some traces."

"So what? I'm burping."

In Wang Lu's opinion, the rows of bookshelf just now may be the lanterns of his life that people often call him. The only thing he can do here is to work hard to become a wise ghost.

“It’s not time yet.”

The figure looked down at his body that slowly turned into ashes like those books, and his tone was extremely calm, "Old Wang, do me a favor and find them out."

...

...

...

"Prepare, charge, defibrillation!"

"Prepare, charge, defibrillation!"

There were more and more noises echoing in my ears. In addition, Wang Lu also smelled the burnt smell in the air.

The body swung violently under the drive of external forces, and all the sounds and feelings became more and more realistic.

"Damn, don't abandon it, you'll be confused if you eliminate it!"

When Wang Lu regained control of his body, he couldn't help but scream.

He suddenly opened his eyes and a dazzling light surged up.
