Chapter Thirty-Eight Unknown One
Come out of the tree hole, while recalling the route I took when I came, I carefully avoided the thorns blocking the way. In this deep mountain without roads, I didn’t bring any first aid medicine. Maybe I was pricked by some poisonous plants and couldn’t go back. Therefore, I was very careful. I finally walked to the bottom of the mountain and walked a long way along the direction I came when I came. I finally walked to the main road. Although I don’t know where this place was, I didn’t dare to ask people casually. Now I am a wanted murderer, and I might be recognized by people. I walked along the road in the direction I remembered. I always found a place where I could eat and sleep. I am so tired these days that I need a good rest.
I walked for several hours before I saw a small town with a small shop on the side of the road. I touched my pocket. Fortunately, the money I borrowed from Wang Wensheng was still there at that time. I bought some food and ate it in a few bites to cushion my stomach. I saw a bathroom not far away. I couldn't help but feel itchy. I bought clothes in the town and went in and took it. The biggest advantage of taking a bath in this small bathroom is that it is open 24 hours a day, and after washing, I can rest in the lounge for a while without registering with my ID card. The Public Security Bureau rarely comes to these places for inspection. It is much safer than in some small hotels. I lay on the bed, covered my face with a towel, and fell asleep in a daze.
I slept until the next day before I woke up. I looked at the time. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. I asked the people in the bathroom where the station was located. I put on my clothes and left. This is the best place to go. When I put on my clothes, people might recognize who you are. After taking off my clothes, and the bathroom was filled with mist. Only then would he pay attention to what the person talking to you in front of you looks like, so I was not worried that anyone would recognize me.
The experiences of these days have made me more cautious in doing things, but I have become much more courageous. After taking a shower and resting for a night, I finally got energetic and my mind became active. I didn’t go to the station to get on the bus. There would definitely be photos of me in that kind of place. I put on a big hat, put on a scarf, and waited for the car to pass by halfway. The driver would definitely let me get on the bus in order to make more money. In addition, I dressed like this, I would definitely not recognize me.
Everything was as I imagined. I got into a car easily, but I didn't go directly to the station. Instead, I got off the car halfway, took out a new scarf, hat, clothes from my bag, and changed it again. Then I went into the city. Although I was not familiar with this city, there were always some large buildings in each city, and I just needed to report a place casually. I changed taxi four or five times along the way and went to several different places. I kept around. Finally, I felt that it should be safe, so I got off the car halfway and walked to a place. This was an address that Chu Jiangshan gave me before I left. He said that when the matter was done, he came here to find him, but he must not let others find it. So I went around all the way, and I was so tired that I was so tired.
This is a very ordinary small courtyard, located on the other side of the city, very remote, and there are no other families around. Although it is already late at night, the lights are still on in the room. I murmured in my heart: "This Chu Jiangshan, I still don't sleep on such a cold day. Do you know I will come back today?"
I stood in front of the door and rang the doorbell. It was a secret code that Chu Jiangshan told me. I was still cursing him in my heart that he might have something. Although I didn’t know him deeply, I really hated his self-righteous feeling. When the doorbell was pressed, the light in the room immediately went out. I was waiting at the door for the people inside to come and open the door for me.
The wind was very biting in the middle of the night. While waiting for someone to open the door, I stomped my feet gently. I gradually heard footsteps walking in, and I could even hear the sound of people opening the door. I took a step forward and prepared to go in and drink a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold as soon as possible, and then meet Wang Zihua.
The footsteps approached the door and then stopped. I knew he was about to open the door and let me in. At this moment, a sudden flash of my mind, as if I was an instinct. I noticed something was wrong and hurriedly turned to the side. Almost at the same time, the door opened and a figure inside ran out quickly. If I hadn't been on my side just now, I would have been hit by him so hard.
After coming out of the underground stone chamber, I often carry some daily necessities with me. My life now requires me to take risks at any time. These things may come in handy at any time. Among them, there is a flashlight, and it is definitely the most expensive and the best quality. There is no street lights all the way here, so I can see the road clearly by illuminating the flashlight. At this time, I saw that the man opened the door and did not leave immediately. He immediately shone the flashlight on his face. The man obviously did not expect that there would be a flashlight on my hand. Under the stimulation of the strong light, he immediately covered his eyes with his hands, and then turned around and ran out immediately. Although the weather is very cold now, the man was wearing very little clothes, but his back was a little strange and slightly raised, as if he was a camel.
The man turned around and ran, his movements were extremely fast. When I realized that he had already run away, I shouted, "Stop!" and chased him desperately. At this moment, I had seen clearly his appearance. A gauze wrapped around his right hand, as if he had been injured, his whole body was covered with blood. It seemed extremely terrifying in the middle of the night, but none of this could stop me from chasing him, because this person was so important to me. My mother's last diary fell on his hands, and I could see clearly: he was Traden.
Treden was extremely fast and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye. I chased after a few steps and couldn't catch up. I had to stop, spit hard on the ground, and turned around and walked into the room. I just saw Treden covered in blood. I felt a little uneasy in my heart, afraid that something would happen in the room.
Standing at the door and gritted my teeth, I finally plucked the courage to step in.
The lights in the house were turned off, which was an important reason why I thought something was wrong at that time. If Chu Jiangshan was in the house at that time, he would have known that the person who came was me after hearing my code. There was no need to turn off the lights. Since the person inside turned off the lights, the only possibility was that the person inside the house was an outsider, otherwise it would have been impossible to be so guilty. The facts also confirmed that my speculation was correct. Judging from the appearance of Treden, he and Chu Jiangshan obviously would not know what he came here for. So why did he come here? A very strange idea suddenly appeared in my mind. I wonder if his coming here was related to my mother's diary. Although my mother has passed away, every thing that happened inexplicably around me can have something to do with her. I vaguely think that there should be something between Treden and my mother that I don't know.
But the situation in the house could not tolerate me thinking too much. As soon as I walked in, a strong smell of blood came into my nose. My heart couldn't help but jump violently. I reached out to touch the wall. I didn't touch the light switch. So I turned on the injured flashlight and shone into the house. The strong light shone on the ground. When I saw the scene on the ground clearly, I couldn't help but bent down and vomited.
Although I had long suspected that something might happen to Chu Jiangshan, I didn't expect that this would happen. He lay on the ground and had already broken his breath. But what scared me was because his entire stomach was cut open, and the internal organs inside were taken out and placed next to the corpse. The ground was covered with blood. His dragon guards were one by one on the ground, and their bodies and heads were separated. I don't know what method the murderer used to deal with them.
I finally stopped vomiting, and I forced myself to observe the scene. It was not that I had a hobby of studying the body, but because Wang Zihua was still in Chu Jiangshan's hands. I had to see if there were any clues left on the scene to let me find him. I found the switch and turned on the lights, and carefully checked the entire room, but found nothing. Instead, there was a lot of blood on my shoes, which made me feel sick.
Chu Jiangshan's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of fear. I didn't know what he saw before he died, which would make the expression on his face so terrifying that I couldn't help but feel scared from my heart when I stood beside him and saw this expression. After thinking about it, I decided to leave here first, stand up and take a step, and sighed, lowered my body to gently close Chu Jiangshan's eyes. The dead are the most important. No matter how he treated me during his lifetime, I don't need to be unable to get along with him after he died.
As soon as my hand left his eyes, Chu Jiangshan's head suddenly tilted and I was startled. At this moment, I realized that his head was also cut open from behind. It was just because it was on my back, so I didn't notice it. I held my breath and carefully placed his head upright. Suddenly I found that there was also a familiar pattern on his head, shaped like a mountain.
Such a murder case must be unconcealed. The longer I stayed on the scene, the more unfavorable it was for me. I couldn't think about why Chu Jiangshan had such a pattern on his head. Fortunately, he had a pair of shoes in his bag. I threw the blood-stained shoes on the scene, and then changed into new shoes and hurriedly left the house. The wind blew even harder, but my mind couldn't calm down. I don't know if it was Treden's poisonous hand. Although it seemed that he was the most suspicious, these were irrelevant to me. The most important thing was that of me.
What I lost the news about Wang Zihua. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but regret that I had been resting in that bathroom for one night. If I didn't rest, I could see Chu Jiangshan. The weather was quite cold, but the blood at the scene did not condense immediately. It can be seen that the death time would not be too long. If I came back earlier, I could see Chu Jiangshan and Wang Zihua, but now it's too late. As for whether I would end up like Chu Jiangshan if I really came back early, I had never thought about it.
I walked forward aimlessly, not knowing what to do next. I don’t believe that Chu Jiangshan, who has appeared in the story of "Old House", would die so easily, but the facts were in front of me. Now there are no clues. I am another wanted murderer. I finally understand what despair is.
At this moment, I heard a "boom" behind me, and I quickly turned around and saw that the house in Chu Jiangshan had been engulfed by a fire at this time. The fire was particularly dazzling in the dark. My first reaction was that someone wanted to destroy the body and ran away. Such a big fire could easily alarm the firefighters. The police would probably come soon. Of course, the farther I hide, the better the better.
The whistling of the fire truck came from a distance, and I rushed to the main road. Although it was midnight, I could still see a few people setting up stalls for midnight snacks on the road. At this time, they stretched their necks and looked at the fire in the distance. Seeing that no one noticed me, I felt relieved and quickly left the place.
As I walked, I thought that the person who set the fire must be because there was something inside that didn't want to be known. I've checked it and there was nothing special inside. The only possibility was that the murderer was afraid of leaving any clues, so he set the fire to destroy all the evidence that was unfavorable to me. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat. I stayed in it for so long. If it weren't for this fire, I would have to have another murder. After all, there were still my footprints and fingerprints on the scene. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little grateful to the murderer.
At this time, I could almost conclude that the murderer was Treden. If the murderer was someone else, he would have set fire to destroy evidence. Only he had just left the scene, which coincided with the time of death displayed by the body. But I couldn't understand why Treden didn't burn me to death while I was inside. Since he had killed Chu Jiangshan and his methods were so perverted and cruel, he would never care about killing one more person. There was no need to let someone who had seen him on the scene stay in this world, leaving himself with a huge trouble.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure out the reason, but I gradually discovered something wrong. When I first saw Treden, although I just glanced at him in a hurry, I remembered him very well. He didn't seem to be a hunchback like he is now. Moreover, there was an indescribable feeling in Treden's eyes, as if he was a wild beast.
The problem finally came back to Treden. There must be some conflict between him and Chu Jiangshan, otherwise he would not have to kill him. But I don’t know what happened here. What makes me even more strange is that since my clone said that there are many secrets hidden in the story of "Old House", why are there no clues about Chu Jiangshan? More than just writing his novels? Is it true that the little things between Treden and Chu Jiangshan in front of me are insignificant?
