Chapter Thirty-Two Not an Old Man
Qin Liu woke up from her dream.
She quickly sat up and calmed her rapid heartbeat.
What happened in the dream was too real, and it made her heart race.
Because of this, she hurriedly poked her head out of the Hong Yu and asked Liu Haoyu.
“What time is it?!”
Liu Haoyu, who had just been interviewed by Zhao Long and then slept in the police station, saw Qin Liu in such a hurry and asked in confusion.
“It’s 7 in the evening. You’ve been in the Hong Yu all day… Are you feeling better?”
“It’s not a matter of feeling better.”
Life was at stake, and Qin Liu couldn’t care about her shame or what had happened before.
She said at a very fast pace.
“That house before… the deaf and mute old man inside! He might be Zhao Kaiwen in disguise!”
Qin Liu revealed a very explosive piece of news.
This shocked Liu Haoyu a bit.
Just a few hours ago, he was analyzing Zhao Kaiwen’s whereabouts with Zhao Long. They had analyzed for a long time and reviewed the surveillance footage at the border between Jiangquan City and Beiming City, but they couldn’t find any trace of Zhao Kaiwen.
Even after contacting the Public Security Bureau of Beiming City, they couldn’t find Zhao Kaiwen’s whereabouts.
Did Qin Liu find him so quickly?
How did she do it?
Qin Liu looked at Liu Haoyu’s confused eyes and didn’t have the energy to explain. She used her hands and feet, constantly explaining.
“When I was sleeping in the Hong Yu, I dreamed about what would happen tonight at 10 o’clock.”
“In the dream, I personally saw that blind and mute old man, not only did he not look blind, but he also spoke with a deep male voice.”
“He sneaked into the Martyrs’ Cemetery and stabbed An Qinglian to death with a knife!”
By the end, Qin Liu felt a chill.
Fortunately, she woke up in time. It was already 7 in the evening. If she had been a little later… the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Liu Haoyu’s expression became a little heavy at Qin Liu’s words.
If it were someone else’s dream, Liu Haoyu might have thought nothing of it.
But this was Qin Liu’s dream, and what she dreamed was very likely to be true.
So, after understanding this, Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and said to Qin Liu.
“There’s no time to explain, let’s go!”
“Then I’ll call the police first.”
—
Time came to the evening.
The Martyrs’ Cemetery was quiet, without any sound.
The place was already a bit remote.
So when An Qinglian returned to the tent, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
For some reason, she always felt a vague sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.
What was even stranger was that when she came here, she always felt like someone was watching her.
But when she looked back, she saw nothing.
And the jade gourd in her hand didn’t react at all.
“It must be my imagination…”
An Qinglian parked her electric bike at the entrance of the Martyrs’ Cemetery.
The security guard uncle was leisurely scrolling through his phone. Even though he was in his thirties or forties, he was still enthusiastic about watching online streamers dance.
An Qinglian greeted him, but he didn’t react at all.
So, she simply returned to the cemetery.
After a simple wash, she gradually fell asleep with the fatigue accumulated throughout the day.
However, the feeling of being watched along the way was not an illusion.
In fact, there was an old man with a hunched back, a ferocious and terrifying face, following behind her.
Seeing An Qinglian enter the Martyrs’ Cemetery.
The old man let out a deep voice.
“What a beautiful girl… she looks like my wife…”
The old man, or rather, Zhao Kaiwen, had a terrifying smile on his face. He tightly clutched the dagger and cautiously walked into the cemetery.
He had returned to Jiangquan City for work in the first half of the year.
One of his jobs was to inspect the electrical circuits at this Martyrs’ Cemetery.
He had a good memory, so even after so long, he could still remember the locations of the surveillance cameras here.
“Heh heh, what a good place, it just saves the trouble of burial.”
Zhao Kaiwen grinned, lowered his body, and entered the Martyrs’ Cemetery.
He was holding a very long fruit knife.
He had used this knife to cut off Qiao Siyi’s head before.
Now… he decided not to do that.
Enjoying bullying and violence was also a wonderful pleasure.
So this time, he planned to avoid vital points and stab the girl who looked so much like his wife to death, one by one.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kaiwen licked his dry and chapped lips.
He had been holding back for a very, very long time, and he was almost driven crazy.
Since it was so tiring to keep hiding, he might as well take someone with him to the underworld before he died.
“Hehehe…”
With a chilling smile, Zhao Kaiwen snuck into the cemetery.
He skillfully avoided all the surveillance cameras.
When he saw the security guards patrolling, he immediately hid in a dark corner.
His sinister and resentful gaze was like that of a sewer rat, or a cockroach hiding under a bed.
This man hated everyone equally, whether men or women.
He hated them all.
Seeing the security guards leave laughing and joking, Zhao Kaiwen took advantage of the five-minute gap during the shift change, decisively went deeper, and ran towards the tent.
His pupils contracted with intense excitement, and even the muscles on his face began to twitch, making him look even more terrifying than a ghost.
In the dim Martyrs’ Cemetery, he finally saw the girl’s tent.
He rushed over quickly, took out the sharp fruit knife, and with all his might, slashed a deep cut in the tent’s canvas.
“I’m here! Hahaha…”
“Bang!”
Just as Zhao Kaiwen was about to rush into the tent, he was not greeted by a beautiful and cute female college student, but by a stiff rain boot!
His face was kicked squarely, and he was sent flying.
When Zhao Kaiwen stood up again, he found a terrifying man wearing a gas mask and holding a fire axe standing in front of him.
The female college student in the tent had disappeared, and the fire axe in the man’s hand was stained bright red with some unknown liquid, and it looked like it could drip at any moment.
Where did that female college student go?
Could it be… that she had already been killed by this masked murderer?!
In those short two seconds, Zhao Kaiwen thought a lot.
“You’re here?” Because of the gas mask, the killer’s voice was muffled and terrifying, making Zhao Kaiwen break out in a cold sweat.
“I’ve been waiting here for a long time.”
Saying that, the masked murderer took a step forward when Zhao Kaiwen wasn’t paying attention.
When this tall killer charged at full speed, he was like a heavy truck.
Zhao Kaiwen didn’t even react before he was grabbed by the arm by the killer.
Then, he felt his body float, spin in the air, and then smash heavily onto the ground.
The severe impact on his spine made him let out a piercing scream.
With just one fall, his body seemed to fall apart, and he curled into a ball, twitching in pain.
“Wait… wait! I didn’t see anything!”
Zhao Kaiwen didn’t have much physical strength. He only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He could only fight women. But he knew that he was no match for this tall killer in front of him.
So, he could only beg in a humble tone.
“I… I came to kill people too! I was just passing by, really!”
“This is a misunderstanding, Mr. Killer. Besides, I’ve killed someone too, so we’re sort of on the same side, and we can exchange tips…”
“I promise I won’t call the police after I get out, and I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Looking at the “old man” who was so subservient, the masked man clapped his hands and said to Zhao Long and the other police officers behind him.
“Officers, look, he confessed himself.”
Zhao Long’s expression was gloomy, and behind him was the frightened An Qinglian.
This poor girl was chased by a ghost a few days ago, and now she was targeted by a murderer. All sorts of bad luck had befallen her.
As for Zhao Long, he rushed over here the first moment he received the alarm call. At the same time, he found An Qinglian hiding in the security room and followed the direction of the alarm call into the cemetery.
And when he arrived here, he saw this scene.
A seemingly enthusiastic citizen who called the police, who looked like a killer, was pinning down an old man who didn’t look like a killer at all.
