Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Hong Shiyu is sixteen or seventeen years old, with a good-natured face and round and bright eyes.You can't think of anyone who would hurt such a girl.She should always be happy like this, with some small troubles of youth, happy and sad about things big and small.

She was the same age as Fu Yuncong, both in the second year of high school.The two were in different classes in the same school in junior high school, and they were assigned to the same class in the first grade of senior high school, and became classmates.

It was April when Hong Shiyu disappeared, and the weather was already hot, and the students were wearing summer school uniforms one after another.The summer school uniform of the second-grade girl is not a skirt like Jiang Xiao's, but ordinary sweatpants, dark blue, loose and thin, with no lines visible.

Hong Shiyu is not short, so she rolled up her trousers to her calf, exposing a section of her ankle on her sneakers.There is a red cord on the ankle.

According to the custom, when a child is born, the old man will often tie a red rope around the child's ankle. The red rope is tied with complicated and beautiful knots.This is talking to the gods and Buddhas: she is our baby's baby, we pray for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas, and may she be safe for the rest of her life.

Hong Shiyu's feet seemed to be fitted with springs, bouncing and bouncing as she walked.She was in a good mood, and after saying goodbye to her fuzzy friend, she looked around the side of the road and only trotted across the street when she was sure that no vehicles were passing by.

I greeted the owner of the newsstand, and she was reading magazines in front of the booth.Maybe there was a star she liked on the cover of a magazine. After getting permission, she took a copy and looked through it carefully.

The boss asked her if she would buy it, and she was generous: I don’t have enough money, if I don’t buy it, my classmates will lend it to me.

She ended up buying just a small bottle of Fanta, apple flavor.Fanta is not a popular drink, so the newsstand owner remembers this girl who likes to drink Fanta.

Hong Shiyu waved goodbye to the boss and crossed another road.If she wants to take the No. 11 bus to the cram school to find her mother who is a teacher, she has to cross half of the river.

During the day, Jiangmian Road is very lively, with fruit shops, car repair shops, ramen shops, fast food restaurants, breakfast shops, stationery shops and teaching aid bookstores that must exist around the school.Students come and go, and the roadside is full of bicycles.

But in the middle of the night, Jiangmian Road became very quiet.All the shops selling food were closed for rest, and only a few shops were still half open, waiting for students after school to come in and consume.

Yu Zhou and the others followed Hong Shiyu and walked into Jiangmian Road with her.

After crossing the street sign, the girl's figure disappeared.The adventurer and the cage owner stood on the road at night, and the surroundings were eerily silent.The road sign is hidden under a big plane tree with a dense canopy, blocking the street lights.

"The owner of the newsstand saw Hong Shiyu turn into Jiangmian Road." Fu Yuncong said, "Because Jiangmian Road was under renovation at that time, there were very few pedestrians, and the boss told her to be careful."

He walked forward.As he walked forward, the quiet shops without signs on Jiangmian Road lit up one by one.Fences and ice cream cones drilled out of the ground, like plants growing out of asphalt. The sign of "construction ahead, please detour" is very eye-catching.

There was no one in these shops, Fu Yuncong just wanted to restore the scene at that time, and didn't design any more action plots.

He finally stopped in front of the 711 convenience store.

"There is surveillance at the entrance of the convenience store." Fu Yuncong pointed to the camera above his head and said, "The police investigated the surveillance, from Linjiang Middle School after school at ten o'clock until Hong Shiyu's parents called the police at one o'clock in the morning, and even until six o'clock the next morning, This surveillance did not capture anyone similar to Hong Shiyu."

Liu Yingnian: "Where is the bus station that Hong Shiyu is going to?"

Fu Yuncong pointed to the other side, Jiangmian Road was very short, and there was a mobile business office and a bakery in front of the convenience store: "The bus stop is just around the corner of the bakery. The driver of the night bus was a female driver. She had an impression of Hong Shiyu. There were no other guests in the car that night, so she stopped at this station for an extra 5 minutes, trying to wait for Hong Shiyu. But she didn't."

Yu Zhou looked back at the road.

The range of disappearance narrowed—the bouncing girl disappeared on the road between the street sign on Jiangmian Road and the convenience store.

This distance is only more than 300 meters, and the shops are densely packed, but occasionally, a dark alley can be seen between the two shops.

There are a total of six alleys, two of which are piled with sundries, and one leads to the back door of a certain unit, but it is tightly locked with an iron gate.

The other three directions are in the same direction, and at the end is a narrow stone step, and when you go up the stone step, you will suddenly see a river embankment.

"How far is it from here to the ferry where Hong Shiyu was found?" Liu Yingnian asked.

"[-] kilometers." Fu Yuncong replied.

"It's so far away!" Liu Yingnian took out his small notebook and wrote down the route and information, "Didn't the monitoring on the road find any suspicious vehicles or people?"

This time it was Jiang Xiao who answered: "Linjiang Middle School is located on the edge of the busy city and the secluded area. From here to the ferry, there are at least six or seven routes, not counting detours."

Fu Yuncong nodded: "After Hong Shiyu disappeared, no results were found. After she was discovered...the police began to focus on the road surveillance between Linjiang Middle School and the ferry, but it has been too long, and the surveillance videos at some intersections have not been saved. .found her in early September, and I fell into the 'trap' in early October, at least not yet concluded."

Yu Zhou and Fisherman Hat exchanged glances.

Jiang Xiao seemed to be somewhat protective of his senior brother. Sometimes Liu Yingnian took the initiative to ask questions, but Fu Yuncong didn't ask. Jiang Xiao helped answer.

Yu Zhou was straightforward: "I'm sorry, what I said may be a bit harsh. How do you know so many things? You even know about your classmates leaving school and flipping through magazines at the newsstand? Or are these all imagined by you? You Want us to find the murderer in your imagination?"

In the night, the shop signs on Jiangmian Road are either bright or dark, and everything is real except for no one.

"Even the trash can in front of the fruit shop is full, you know." The fisherman's hat pointed to the trash can that was almost overflowing, "Why did you design such unnecessary details?"

Fu Yuncong answered very simply, Yu Zhou didn't know whether he had already thought about how to answer, or if he was telling the truth.

"First answer the first question, why do I know so many things. Because the person in charge of Hong Shiyu's disappearance is my father. At my request, or pleading, he violated the discipline of secrecy and disclosed some cases to me. detail."

He looked back at the newsstand: "As for what Hong Shiyu did in the newsstand, of course I know very well. The police have asked the owner of the newsstand, and I have asked. I have asked many times to confirm repeatedly."

"Including this section of the road, from the street sign on Jiangmian Road to the convenience store, I am not exaggerating. I even know where there are mouse holes." Fu Yuncong said, "I have walked too many times, repeatedly .Everything you see is true, at least within the scope of Jiangmian Road and the school, everything you see is what I found after Hong Shiyu disappeared."

Fan Xing, who was leaning on Liu Yingnian and hindering Liu Yingnian's record, was pushed away by Liu Yingnian.He raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to ask: "Why are you so enthusiastic? It's very strange."

Yugan had already forgotten about the quarrel with Yu Zhou, and habitually swam back to Yu Zhou's side, at this moment, he suddenly startled Yu Zhou by yelling: "You have a crush on him!"

Fu Yuncong: "No." He didn't answer so decisively, his eyes were calm, and he closed his mouth after saying these two words.

Fu Yuncong looks very ordinary, it is his calm and peaceful temperament that makes him look different from the bluffing middle school students.

Yu Zhou thought of Hong Shiyu who he saw just now.

A pretty and lively girl like Hong Shiyu is quite popular in school.Although dried fish has no brains, it makes sense to speculate.

After getting a negative answer, Fan Xing didn't bother him any more, he immediately asked another question, which was something that the rest of the people had doubts in their hearts, but they were afraid to offend the cage owner and didn't dare to ask.

"Are you the murderer?" Fan Xing tied his long hair behind his head with a strawberry headband. The whole process is so familiar."

Before Fu Yuncong could speak, Jiang Xiao answered, "It's not him."

Yugan jumped up and down anxiously: "...you can't just help your classmates!"

"Brother disappeared on National Day in 2017. If I remember correctly, it was on the night of October 10rd, on the way home from cram school?" Jiang Xiao asked.

Fu Yuncong nodded.

Yugan: "Oh, remember very clearly, you also have a crush on him."

Jiang Xiao: "...do you have a brain?"

Dried fish: "None."

"Because he is so famous. Our school was the first sophomore in high school to recommend a student from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is a genius with a super memory. After he disappeared, there were his missing person notices all over the streets and alleys. His class teacher posted his photo and his disappearance in every class. , I will cry when I talk about it." Jiang Xiao said, "The most important thing is that after he disappeared, Linjiang Middle School lost another girl."

Fu Yuncong was shocked, and grabbed Jiang Xiao's hand: "Another one?!"

"The day before the Lantern Festival in 2018, a senior sister in the third year also disappeared on the way home from self-study next night." Jiang Xiao replied.

After Hong Shiyu's body was found at the ferry, everyone in the city was in danger, and families with girls studying in their homes were even more terrified.At that time, rumors about the murderer were flying all over the street. Some said that the mentally ill committed the crime, some said that it was the hands of the inmates who were released from prison, and some said that it was a criminal gang that came from the city next door, robbing, raping and murdering, and doing everything.

In September and October, almost all schools that arrange evening self-study for day students close their doors at [-] pm on time and stop evening self-study.Students with conditions like Fu Yuncong went to cram schools, and more students stayed at home, waiting for each night full of fear to pass.

After Fu Yuncong disappeared, this panic reached its peak.

The impact of Hong Shiyu's case was extremely bad, and the provincial department's special case team settled in and began to investigate the cases of the two students together.Later, it was discovered that Fu Yuncong had fallen into a "trap", so he singled it out and handed it over to a specialized agency.The school quickly held a parents' meeting to explain, but no one could tell which was more frightening, "the child disappeared and was killed" or "the child fell into the 'trap'".

The members of the task force have not yet left, and another female student disappeared the day before the Lantern Festival in 18.This time the investigation was extremely quick, and the body was found in the pool of the building opposite Linjiang Middle School a week later.

The corpse was wrapped in a fishing net, curled up into a ball, and tightly stuffed in the mouth of the artificial mountain in the pool, half submerged.

As in Hong Shiyu's case, all the clothes on her lower body disappeared, and there were traces of being violated and bound.The cause of death, which could not be investigated on Hong Shiyu's bones at that time, has been concluded in the new case: the victim had a blow wound on the head, and the murderer also covered the victim's head with a plastic bag, and the victim finally died of suffocation.

"... Didn't find the prisoner?" Fu Yuncong asked.

Jiang smiled and shook his head.

Fu Yuncong had an extremely bitter and intense anger on his face. He clenched his fists tightly and used all his strength to hate someone.

"In other words, there were two victims before and after." Fan Xing said.

Jiang Xiao touched the pocket of the school uniform jacket.Her lollipop was long gone, and there was nothing in her hands or mouth at this time, and she was restless.

"More than two." She rubbed her fingers in distress and said, "I'm the third."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Yes, everyone knows that dried fish has no brains. It can laugh at itself, but it doesn't like others to say it.

Fu Yuncong's "Birdcage" sells steamed buns, and Yu Zhou brought dried fish to eat.

They also brought a copy for Fan Xing.

Fan Xing bites: It's all skin, no stuffing.

When you turn it over, you can see that the buttocks of each steamed bun are empty, and the stuffing has been hollowed out.

Fan Xing: You have no brains and no stomach, why are you eating my steamed buns!

Yu Gan became angry from embarrassment, and chased and beat Fan Xing on Jiujie Street.
