This is an anti-theft seal, it will be replaced after one hour. Cheng Guoxu understood Mu Qin’s eyes and shook his head at Mu Qin and said, “I didn’t see where she was going. I felt like she was still there a second before, but disappeared the next second.”
"This is in trouble." Cheng Guoxu's words made Mu Qin frowned embarrassed.
And Qiu Zijia said: "Don't worry about her, since she is left behind, it means that she is looking for death on her own."
"What I want to know is whether she left by herself or was taken away. If the former is okay, we can leave it alone. But if it is the latter..." Muqin sighed, "It is very Trouble."
Qiu Zijia said: "Do you think that woman will go away by herself?"
"I don't know." Muqin shook his head.
As soon as Muqin's voice fell, everyone suddenly heard a sharp scream from the stairwell at the end of the corridor.
This scream was obviously a female voice. Mu Qin and the others instantly recognized that it was Han Li's voice. They looked at each other. Qiu Zijia was still a bit hesitant, but Mu Qin had already stepped towards the source of the sound.
"Wait a minute!" Qiu Zijia reached out to stop Mu Qin from letting him go, and said at the same time, "Don't go there, what if it's a trap?"
Mu Qin turned to look at Qiu Zijia: "So you don't want to save her, right?"
Qiu Zijia was a little embarrassed, so she didn't reply. He really didn't want to save Han Li. To put it bluntly, Qiu Zijia was not a just and awe-inspiring person. In the face of possible and unknown dangers, he only wanted to protect himself.
Mu Qin didn't speak either. He stared at Qiu Zijia with dark and deep eyes. He was so calm that Qiu Zijia couldn't help feeling horrified.
Qiu Zijia found that Mu Qin seemed to be too calm. Since they first met just now, Mu Qin's face has not changed much. Whether it is a smile, anger, or surprised expression, he is faint, and his tone is also cold.
Muqin said: "This is the second floor. This apartment has five floors. Only the left end of the corridor has a staircase for up and down. Unless we jump from the window in the corridor, it doesn't matter if we want to go up or down. You have to go through that stairwell."
"And Han Li's voice just came from the stairwell. No matter what, if you don't want to be blocked here, you must pass." Mu Qin said and looked towards the end of the corridor, on the corridor over there. There seems to be something wrong with the lamp, which is flickering and dimming.
Han Li made no other sound after screaming, and the apartment building of the orphanage fell into deathly silence.
Mu Qin took the lead. He broke off a steel pipe as a weapon from the heating pipe on the side of the corridor by the window. The steel pipe was so corroded that it was easy to break off.
Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia followed him, they walked lightly and quickly towards the stairwell, and then they found that the lights at the corner of the stairwell had been turned off by somebody. It was obvious that they had all turned off when they came up. The light is turned on.
"Han Li!?" Mu Qin shouted at the pitch-black stairwell. His voice echoed in the narrow aisle, but he could not hear any response.
If only there was a flashlight.
Mu Qin thought so, but had to hold the rusty steel pipe in his hand, bent his back against the wall, and started walking downstairs.
Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated for a while, but they still leaned forward to heel.
Mu Qin walked down a flight of stairs against the wall, and touched the light switch at the corner of the stairwell. At this time, Mu Qin smelled a strange fishy smell in the air. He was familiar with the smell, so he felt With some preparation, I pressed the switch to illuminate this small area.
"My god!" Qiu Zijia immediately cried out in horror when the lights turned on. He jumped three feet high, and he couldn't help but stick to Mu Qin's back.
In front of them, a person who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead was lying on the steps at the corner of the stairs. The person was covered in blood. The blood was splashed on the wall. There was a huge wound on his back, which was obviously What sharp weapon did the person use to scratch.
The man seemed to be struggling for a long time before he died, and the **** handprints remained on the wall beside him.
"He... is he dead?" Qiu Zijia has lived for 28 years and basically hasn't seen blood. The conditions in his family are good, and his parents are very spoiled. He has not been allowed to do heavy work, and there are no chickens. Killed one, let alone suddenly saw such a **** dead person.
At this moment, Qiu Zijia was trembling with fear, hiding behind Mu Qin and shaking, but Cheng Guoxu next to him was much calmer than him, although Cheng Guoxu's face was a little pale.
Mu Qin stabilized his mind for a while, walked over to squat down, and stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on the opponent's neck. He started to feel a little warm. It may be that there was residual temperature shortly after he died, but he couldn't feel the pulse anymore.
Mu Qin said solemnly: "It seems to be dead."
Qiu Zijia shivered: "This guy is not Han Li, he looks like he is a man."
"It's not Xu Fu, he doesn't have a similar body shape. It should be the one among the six people mentioned by Xu Fu that has not been found." Mu Qin stretched out his hand and grabbed the corpse's arm, trying to turn the person over. face.
"Don't, he is full of blood!" Qiu Zijia seemed afraid, and wanted to stop Mu Qin, but Mu Qin had already turned the person over. But turning it over was useless, because after turning it over, everyone found that the corpse’s face was also full of blood, and it looked like it had been scratched with a very large mouth of blood, from the left eye to the right chin, so the whole face was flesh and blood. Fuzzy.
Qiu Zijia leaned her head to take a look at the corpse's terrible face, and couldn't help covering her eyes with her hand: "Mom, it's so miserable, I can't see what it looks like at all."
Mu Qin did not pay attention to this. He carefully observed the body shape of the dead body. The figure of the deceased was actually very good. It should be a big man of about 1.8 meters. His arms, chest and abdomen were very strong. Mu Qin pulled away. On the sleeves and placket, tight and strong muscles can be seen.
Such a man of very good height and physique shouldn't be killed easily, especially since he didn't make any noise before he died.
Just now, Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others were searching on the second floor, and the man died at the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.
If he is struggling to call for help, Muchin and the others can hear him.
Unless this stairwell is not the first scene of death, someone dragged his body to the corner of the stairs after killing this guy.
However, this behavior is meaningless, time-consuming and laborious, and Muqin can't think of a reason for the murderer to do this.
Thinking Muqin couldn't help grasping the arm of the corpse, and Bala looked at the neckline of his clothes carefully, trying to discover more details from the corpse.
Then, Muqin discovered that the fatal injury to the corpse was probably a bone-in-depth cut in his neck, which may have damaged his carotid artery. Therefore, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground and the walls everywhere.
Mu Qin is not a forensic doctor, and cannot identify the severity of these injuries, but he guessed that this person might have encountered the so-called "killer" or "ghost", and then he was stabbed in the neck by the ghost, and he covered his neck. He wanted to escape, but was hurt by the ghost on his face and back.
Because of a stabbing on the neck, the vocal cords may have been damaged, so there was no voice calling for help. This is why Muqin and others did not hear a voice on the second floor.
And...
Mu Qin followed the blood stains under the corpse and looked down the stairs. This person may have come from the outside courtyard. A lot of blood was dripped along the way he came. Following these blood stains, you should be able to find this person's encounter. The first scene of the attack.
Qiu Zijia has calmed down a bit now, not shivering as before. Although his face is still pale, he still mustered up the courage to cover his nose and squat beside Mu Qin.
"The female teacher probably screamed when she saw the corpse." Qiu Zijia muffled and said to Mu Qin, "She might have seen the killer, so she ran away."
Mu Qin declined to comment on Qiu Zijia's opinion. He is still observing the body.
"There are two footprints." Muqin said suddenly.
Qiu Zijia did not respond: "What?"
Mu Qin pointed to the blood stain next to the corpse, where there were obvious footprints left by the foot stepping on the blood stain.
"One is a woman." Muqin pointed to the footprint that looks relatively small, and then pointed to the obviously larger footprint next to him, "This should be a killer."
"The two footprints were very close, and the woman's footprint disappeared within a few steps. I am afraid it was caught by the killer and carried away." Muqin used simple traces to infer what might have happened in the scene.
And Qiu Zijia looked at Mu Qin in shock: "Brother, you are amazing. Are you a soldier or a detective?"
Mu Qin sighed and said, "This is the basic investigative ability."
After speaking, Mu Qin stood up from the corpse, he was still holding the corpse's arm, and now he subconsciously wanted to let go. However, at this moment, I don't know if it was Mu Qin's illusion, Mu Qin felt the arm of the corpse in his hand tremble suddenly.
This made Muqin startled, his eyes widened sharply, and he stared down at the corpse.
But the corpse is still a corpse. This man who looks good in shape has already lay on the ground and turned into a piece of dead flesh that is beginning to rot.
Maybe it is the muscle contraction caused by nerve twitching after death. Mu Qin thought to himself, but still squinted at the corpse for a long time.
Until Qiu Zijia next to him felt something was wrong, he watched nervously the wind and grass around him, the sky had completely darkened, and it started to rain, the air became damp and cold, and he could still vaguely hear raindrops falling on the concrete floor. The sound on the dirt.
Then Mu Qin opened the piano cover. Under the cover were the black and white keys. With the protection of the cover, they were well protected. Mu Qin chose a key with the lowest pitch, pressed it lightly, and the piano sounded. A muffled short note.
Although it was a short and deep tone, the sudden sound of the piano still shocked Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu, who were searching for other locations next to him. Qiu Zijia moved in small steps to warn Mu Qin: "It's all this. At that time you still have the mind to play the piano!"
Mu Qin turned a deaf ear to Qiu Zijia's warning. He still looked at the piano with some fascination, because it aroused some memories of Mu Qin.
After the death of his adoptive parents, Muqin basically lived alone. He lived in an 80-square-meter house left by his adoptive parents, although this house was later occupied by an unscrupulous old man. And resell it to others, but Muqin still remembers that there was a beautiful piano in that house and in the study room of his adoptive parents.
Mu Qin has no talent for music. When he was a child, he was actually a naughty bear kid. He was full of energy and liked to play around, catching birds and climbing trees and rolling out of the mud. He didn't even have the mind to sit down and study quietly, let alone learn music. Things that require patience.
So the adoptive parents did not force Mu Qin to learn any specialties. The years they were alive gave Mu Qin a very happy childhood and allowed him to grow up carefree. This allowed Mu Qin to grow up carefree. To this day, I am very grateful for their nurturing.
The difference from Mu Qin is that the adoptive parents have musical talents, especially Mu Qin’s adoptive father, who is said to have won the piano playing award in a certain world-class competition, and the trophy he won was always placed at the time. On the bookcase in the study.
It’s just that Muqin was young at that time and didn’t have much idea about the so-called competition or awards. He didn’t understand what it was. He just thought that the adoptive father played the piano very well. Every time the adoptive father raised his hands on the keys and began to play, Mu Qin would get into the study and lie on the edge of his adoptive father's lap and listen to him playing the piano.
Thanks to his adoptive father, when Mu Qin grew up, he had a very good impression of the people who talked about the piano, perhaps because of the self-cultivation and depth of his adoptive parents... Through music, he left an indelible impression on Mu Qin. Therefore, every time he hears piano music, Muqin will be deeply attracted by it.
Mu Qin’s first love was met through music.
At that time, he was still a high school student and was studying in a key high school in the city. His adoptive parents had already passed away. Muqin's custody was entrusted to his old uncle. The old uncle had no other problems. Just like gambling.
Although the old uncle has always emphasized that he doesn't want to bet big money, he can just play around hundreds of times, but it is obvious that this is a bottomless pit, and soon the old uncle's fortune was lost by himself, and his wife and son are all alone. After he left him, when he got the custody of Muqin and the property of Muqin's adoptive parents, he still couldn't get rid of this bad problem. He couldn't bear to squander the property of his adoptive parents in this way. Muqin always tried every means to get rid of him.
But Mu Qin is just a minor child. Apart from spending money on gambling, the old uncle didn’t treat Mu Qin badly in life, or beat and scolded him. It’s really not easy to get rid of him. Fa Muqin could only study desperately, thinking about entering a good university farther away, and leaving this unscrupulous old man far away.
Mu Qin, who is studying desperately, has started late self-study since high school. At that time, the school did not compulsory self-study for high school students. They all started from the second year of high school. But Mu Qin wanted to speed up his own learning process, so he and A few high school students mingled to play together and study late with them. Mu Qin sat in the corner of the classroom, holding a pile of papers and struggling to write.
When the other students were secretly speaking trivia, handing notes, playing with mobile phones, and playing various games in the evening self-study class, only Muqin did his homework honestly.
At that time, there was a music room next to the second-year student’s study room with a piano in it.
Music students in the school will go to the music room for training every evening during self-study classes. Therefore, every night Muqin was listening to the beautiful music played on the piano in the music room next door, writing his papers and homework.
As time went by, Mu Qin gradually discovered that the piano player in the music room next door seemed to be getting better and better. Mu Qin was very familiar with the piece he had been practicing, and the music became more and more coherent. Muqin, who is adept and always attracted to music, finally couldn't help it one day. He wanted to go to the music room to see who was playing the piano inside.
Mu Qin quickly started to move. Taking advantage of the ten-minute break after class in the study room, Mu Qin went to the music room next to him. The door of the music room was closed. Mu Qin didn't dare to push it, so he stood by the window. , Took a look inside.
Then Muqin saw his first love, a boy who looked tall and thin.
Yes, boy.
Mu Qin didn't know whether he was **** or not until he became an adult. Before his first love, he had not had any good feelings for anyone, whether male or female. But the first person he fell in love with was indeed a boy, and the boy's name was Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue and Mu Qin are both senior high school students, but they are not in the same class. Mu Qin is only an ordinary class, and Zhou Yue is in a key class. Zhou Yue’s family is said to be very rich. They are high-achieving students trained under the elite education. Not only are they excellent in other grades, they are also very good in music. He has been learning piano since he was a few years old, and he has won countless awards since he was a child. In fact, he can be called a genius-level figure.
The school is very attentive to accepting such students. As soon as Zhou Yue enrolled, he immediately received a lot of attention. The principal, director, and teachers of various subjects have taken great care of him. In addition, Zhou Yue has good cultural achievements, and he is good-looking. Good-looking, he is a gentle, handsome, and gentle boy. According to some youth campus novels, Zhou Yue is like a shining prince on campus.
Mu Qin was supposed to be a "prince" who could not climb high. He never thought about climbing high. He was just obsessed with the posture of that person sitting in front of the piano and focused on playing. He would go to music for self-study every night. Secretly watched Zhou Yue playing the piano by the window of the room. Over time, Zhou Yue could easily discover Mu Qin's existence. Zhou Yue opened the door of the music room and invited Mu Qin in.
Mu Qin still remembers the first words Zhou Yue said to him after he walked into the music room: "Why are you standing there and peeking at me?"
Mu Qin was blushing when he asked him a sentence, and he froze for a long time before telling the truth to Zhou Yue: "The song you have been practicing is one of my father's favorite piano songs during his lifetime. I saw you playing the piano. Will... miss my dad."
Mu Qin has always missed his adoptive parents. For him, the adoptive parents are the guides in his life. Although they are not Mu Qin's biological parents, they have given almost everything to Mu Qin.
Mu Qin’s answer also seemed to surprise the boy in front of the piano. The other party didn’t mind Mu Qin’s peeping faux pas. Instead, he talked to Mu Qin and told Mu Qin that he could play the piano directly in the future. Enter the door without looking outside.
Then Mu Qin and Zhou Yue became friends of course, secret friends. At that time, few people in the school knew about the relationship between Mu Qin and Zhou Yue, and no one would associate the much-anticipated "Prince Lord" in the college with an ordinary low-key student like Mu Qin.
But they were in a very good relationship at the time. Mu Qin would often go to the music room to talk to Zhou Yue during the evening self-study time. They talked about everything. Zhou Yue would also teach Mu Qin to play the piano by hand. Mu Qin still remembers Zhou. The feeling of Yue's clean and slender fingers resting on the palm of his hand.
It's like the ugly duckling is pityed by the noble and beautiful swan.
They even dated later, the kind of relationship of close lovers. Mu Qin didn’t remember the opportunity of the interaction. He only remembered one day when they were sitting together in front of the piano in the music room. Mu Qin watched Zhou Yue playing the piano as usual. After playing, Zhou Yue looked down and looked at Mu Qin. Mu Qin also looked at the opponent's eyes. He saw Zhou Yue's night-like eyes with his face printed in them. He couldn't help approaching the opponent, wanting to see more clearly, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yue went straight to it. Come over and kiss Muqin's lips.
After the kiss, they ceased to be friends and became lovers.
That was Mu Qin’s first love, a first love that was destined to be fruitless. This love affair was not discovered by others, and was not hindered by teachers, parents, or other classmates. They have been sweet from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. Then after the college entrance examination... there was no more news.
Because Mu Qin has no money to go to university, although his excellent grades allow him to go to the same prestigious university as Zhou Yue, if he talks about his situation with Zhou Yue, maybe Zhou Yue will find a way Support him. After all, Zhou Yue has a wealthy family and Zhou Yue has always liked Mu Qin very much. Zhou Yue is a very good communication person, and will tell Mu Qin his ideas without reservation and tell Mu Qin that he cares about him very much.
But in the end Muchin gave up this idea and chose to join the army.
Except for some self-esteem issues, the more important reason is that Mu Qin knew that he and Zhou Yue would not have results.
They are not originally from the same world. Zhou Yue has a background, status, and ability. They are destined to be flat, but Mu Qin has nothing. Maybe he will hold back Zhou Yue and put him a homosexual hat. Bring him all kinds of ridicule and criticism.
So, I finally left without saying goodbye.
Mu Qin sighed slightly when he thought of this, and closed the dusty piano cover in front of him.
After all, it's actually because Muqin is very timid. From the very beginning, Muqin had the worst plan to associate with that person, never daring to expect the possibility of a happy ending, so he finally chose to give up.
It’s been many years ago. Muqin has not only served for five years, but also worked for four or five years after he came out. Now he is twenty-eight years old, and he is no longer the one who would indulge in young love. Touqing, he has matured too much, as if his body parts have been replaced from head to toe, becoming another person.
The sound of stepping on the marble floor of the corridor outside the door.
Mu Qin is very nervous now, and even the slightest sound of nervousness will make him creepy. First, he was worried that Xu Fu might come back at any time. If Xu Fu hurts his foot, he would come to the infirmary to find medicine. Therefore, the gauze bandage alcohol that was taken away from the medicine cabinet is likely to be taken away by Xu Fu. Highest, Mu Qin knew this, but he still came. He came to the infirmary not only to find anti-fever medicine for Han Li, but also to confirm Xu Fu's location and injury.
It's best to test whether Mu Qin has a chance to subdue or trap the opponent when Xu Fu's leg is injured.
Mu Qin believes that at his own speed, it is impossible to run a lame man.
But even with this self-confidence, Mu Qin still cannot relax. He is very sensitive to footsteps. Because he has undergone rigorous training, Mu Qin will instinctively remember the footsteps of others, as long as he has been in contact with People who have passed, the way these people walk, their physique, the size and weight of their steps, Mu Qin will have a general impression, so he remembers the footsteps of Qiu Zijia, Han Li, Cheng Guoxu, and Xu Fu.
However, with the sudden sound of footsteps outside, Muqin was horrified to discover...he didn't recognize it!
Mu Qin's first reaction was to think: It's not Xu Fu...who is the person outside! ?
The second reaction is to hide. Avoidance is the best way to deal with emergencies.
Muqin's body was better than his mind and started to move. He quickly found one of the few places where he could hide in this infirmary...There are curtains in the infirmary to separate the beds. The white movable curtain that is opened and protects the privacy of patients, but most of the curtains are worn out, so old that the original white is no longer visible, the fabric is yellowed and stained with large black stains, and some curtains are half hung on the shelf , Half hanging on the ground.
