Due to the weather conditions, the sky at nine o'clock on this day was much darker than usual, the night was like thick ink, and the road from the commercial street to the community was silent.

There were three other people sitting in Ren Qin's house besides her. Ji Mingrui rushed over from the police station to support and prepare for tonight. He quietly went upstairs and said, "The operation over there is not going very smoothly, and the person is still not found."

The reason for the difficulty in police action is that the current conclusions are only conjectures and no substantive evidence has been found; on the other hand, they are also afraid of alarming the suspect. If they rush to find someone to alarm the other party, it will only increase the follow-up investigation. cost.

Xie Lin said: "Normally, if he plans to commit murder today, he will naturally not reveal his whereabouts. He did not leave any leaks in the previous few cases, which shows that he is very good at hiding traces of his actions. He probably started a few days in advance. Get ready today."

When Xie Lin said this, he turned to Chi Qing: "Didn't you drink several cups of coffee during the day, why are you still sleepy?"

Chi Qing stood on the sidelines, lacking energy, as if he didn't want to get involved.

In this situation where everyone can be frightened, he said indifferently: "It's not sleepy, it's just a little boring."

"..."

A few of them were talking, and Ren Qin was tearfully eating takeaway: "Can I just eat a couple of bites, I really don't have an appetite."

She would order takeaway because Xie Lin said: "The other party is thoughtful, you usually order takeaway, if you don't order today, it will make people suspicious."

After Ren Qin finished eating the takeaway in torment, Xie Lin asked again, "What time do you usually go to bed?"

Ren Qin thought for a while: "If you have to go to work the next day, it will be after ten o'clock, and you will sleep later on weekends."

"Do you have the habit of turning off the lights when you sleep?"

"It's off," Ren Qin said, "I can't sleep with the lights on."

"If the murderer will show up, he is likely to watch you somewhere early on when you turn off the lights and go to bed, and then he will come up when you are almost asleep. All you have to do is do as usual, and when the time comes Lights out and sleep."

So just after ten o'clock, Ren Qin changed into pajamas according to what they said, Gao Gao lay on the window sill and looked at them, Ren Qin comforted it, "It's okay, be good, don't call when anything happens later, I'm fine", Then turn off the lights and go to bed as usual, while the others find places to hide.Chi Qing usually doesn't turn on the lights at home, and whether Ren Qin sleeps with the lights on or not doesn't affect him, but before he can choose a place that suits his wishes, Xie Lin drags him into the vertical closet .

Xie Lin said: "Don't look, there is no place where you can hide and keep zero contact with you. I can only squeeze one more person here. You can only choose to squeeze with me."

"..."

No matter how big the wardrobe in the bedroom is, it is difficult to easily accommodate two adult men. The two of them are almost side by side. After Xie Lin closed the wardrobe door, the only light was gone, and the wardrobe was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

Chi Qing bent his legs to shrink himself up as much as possible. Although he was thin, but his legs were long, it was still very difficult to do this movement.

And as long as he moved, he would bump into the person next to him. He didn't know where he hit the other person. Based on his intuition and tactile sensation, Chi Qing realized that what he just touched should be Jielin's waist.

"Don't you think it's crowded?" Chi Qing endured, and pushed aside the hanging head.

"what?"

Just now, Xie Lin was trying to see if he could see outside through the gap in the closet, but he was so focused on the gap that he couldn't hear clearly.

Chi Qing repeated: "I said..."

When he uttered the first word, Xie Lin leaned forward slightly in the direction of his voice: "Huh?" Li has another meaning.

He leaned forward a little, and the broken hair swept across Chi Qing's neck.

Xie Lin: "Go ahead."

Chi Qing suddenly forgot what he was going to say, and the words on his lips turned into: "Don't lean in."

Xie Lin: "This is such a small place, why don't you just call me out."

Chi Qing: "Also."

"..."

"I'm afraid this plan won't work," a voice from outside the closet interrupted them, and Ji Mingrui, who hadn't found a place to hide, said in a low voice, "She's been shaking."

After Ren Qin turned off the lights and went to bed, she couldn't sleep as usual - this was something that no one could do.The lights in the room were turned off, and she closed her eyes. The fear of not knowing what would happen next moment enveloped her instantly. Before Ji Mingrui spoke, she didn't even notice that she was shaking at this moment.

"I'm sorry," Ren Qin sat up under the quilt, "Unless you knock me out, I really can't do it."

Ji Mingrui: "Don't look at me, I can't do anything, and it's against the law to intentionally hurt someone."

Finally, Xie Lin pushed open the closet door, he turned on the phone screen, took the weak light source on the phone screen for illumination, and sighed:

"Change someone."

It is also a question of who to replace in the case of a substitution.

Su Xiaolan can't keep up now, Ji Mingrui is tall and burly, with a cropped hair, he looks like a macho brother when he lies on the bed.Xie Lin is also tall, with a standard model figure, who looks thinner in clothes and has eight-pack abs when he lifts it up.

The last few people turned their attention to Chi Qing.

Chi Qing: "...look what I'm doing."

"If there's one of us that looks more like a woman," Ji Mingrui said fearlessly, "Brother, it's probably you."

The weak light source on the screen of Xie Lin's mobile phone happened to hit Chi Qing, who was still sitting in the closet with his legs bent.Ren Qin's house turned on the air conditioner, and when he entered the room, he took off his coat, leaving only a sweater on his body. Because he was thin, the sweater looked empty on him.

Men have long hair, thin fingers, and long legs.

If you ignore the decadent feeling, his facial features are actually so beautiful that he is somewhat neutral.

Chi Qing spit out the most cold-blooded words from her beautiful mouth: "After you say that sentence, you will have no brothers."

Ji Mingrui: "Don't, do me a favor."

Ren Qin is very empathetic, she knows what it feels like to lie on the bed: "Why don't I work harder and don't embarrass Mr. Chi, in this case, anyone who lies on it will be afraid..."

Chi Qing hadn't spoken yet, but Xie Lin seemed to be the one with mind reading skills: "He probably dislikes you lying in this bed, and he doesn't want to wear your pajamas. As for being afraid, he probably doesn't have any." He looked Glancing at Chi Qing, he fully recognized what Chi Qing said when he sent him a message, "...Even if the murderer is standing at the head of the bed right now, he can still sleep."

Chi Qing is really not afraid, he doesn't know what it feels like to be afraid.

"Although I don't really want to help with this," Chi Qing had to admit that Xie Lin knew himself very well, "but if you can change the sheets and get a new set of pajamas, this matter is not impossible to discuss."

Ren Qin: "..."

Ji Mingrui: "..."

His brother, a man who is not as important as a clean freak even if the murderer is right in front of him.

After putting on new sheets, Ren Qin found another set of clothes that she hadn't worn. She is not short, but she is definitely not comparable to Chi Qing's height. I can't see anything, pajamas or not is not very important.

After Chi Qing lay on the bed, he pulled up the quilt to cover his face. His hair was long on his forehead, which at first glance really looked like that.

No matter how vigilant the murderer was, it would be difficult to find that the person on the bed had already changed as soon as he entered the door.

Ren Qin and Ji Mingrui who were replaced hid in the closet. Ji Mingrui took someone else's place and asked, "Consultant Xie, where are you hiding? Otherwise, I'd better come out." He also wandered around the room for a long time just now, No hiding place other than a closet was found.

Xie Lin pointed to the bottom of the bed naturally: "It's okay, I just checked, the height of the bottom of the bed is just right, I can just hide here."

Ji Mingrui: "...?"

No wonder he thinks too much, it's easy to increase the horror atmosphere in the dark, and "there is someone under the bed" is a classic plot that has appeared in countless horror movies and novels.

Is it really necessary to hide in such a place of the underworld?

Ren Qin was wearing a coat, and said that she was quite scared at first, but now she feels that the lineup arrangement of "there is someone in the closet", "there is also someone under the bed", and "the person lying on the bed is not the original one" is uncertain. Who scares who.

Ren Qin hid in the closet, watched the man get under the bed and disappeared, then looked at the calm group on the bed who seemed to be really sleeping, and whispered to Ji Mingrui: "Mr. Jie and Mr. Chi are here, It’s quite reassuring.”

Ji Mingrui agreed very much, and then sighed with emotion: "Yes, sometimes they are much more terrifying than prisoners."

After half past eleven, when it was close to twelve o'clock, the rain gradually stopped.

There are no pedestrians in the community.

As long as someone stands near the building, it is easy to see the balcony where a certain family's clothes are dried, and it is also easy to observe whether the lights in her house are on or off at the moment.More than an hour after Ren Qin's house turned off the lights, there was a piece of leftover cigarette butts beside a trash can near the building.

The scarlet light on the cigarette butt went out as soon as it touched the wet ground.

The upper part of the wardrobe where Ren Qin and Ji Mingrui are hiding is designed with a shutter door, and the layers of wood chips are gently lifted up to reveal a crack, so that they can barely see the scene in the bedroom.

The more Ren Qin waited, the more panicked she became. She was afraid that he would come, and even more afraid that he would not come. If he didn't come tonight, it would be more dangerous in the future.At the same time, she also hoped that this was a misunderstanding, that no one had ever entered her room late at night.

However, just when the hour hand was about to point to 12, in the quiet and closed wardrobe, she clearly heard a subtle and familiar voice from the living room.

It was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.

Someone is actually opening the door!

Hearing this voice, even Ji Mingrui couldn't help but let out a "fuck" in his heart.

The orange cat trembled all over, its eyes were directed towards the direction of the bedroom door, but this time I don't know if Ren Qin's reassurance had an effect, it didn't bark much, it was only visibly nervous.

Ren Qin's body in the closet froze instantly, she covered her mouth tightly, and held her breath, fearing that the other party would find her breathing.

Then the key turned slowly, and the door lock made a "click".

The door opened.

They couldn't see the living room from the bedroom, they could only hear the sound, and by the sound they could tell that the person who opened the door stayed in the living room for a while.

He seemed to be changing shoes and opened the shoe cabinet.

Then with a "bang", the shoe cabinet was closed again.

Then there was a sound of walking. It sounded like the other party was very familiar with this place. After the sound of footsteps paused, Ren Qin heard the sound of water being poured again. After realizing it, he even went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water!

What did he drink water with?Was it her cup?

Soon, there was a sound of water flowing in the kitchen. After carefully cleaning the water glass, he came out of the kitchen. The sound of slippers stepping on the ground was getting closer and closer to the bedroom.

—The bedroom door was unlocked.

Ren Qin is hiding in the closet at the moment, accidentally using a third perspective to feel how the other party entered her house after she fell asleep every night during this month, and did something after entering her house. What.

Her imagination was far less than reality, and she felt her scalp tingle when she heard the voice.

Ren Qin didn't dare to look, but Ji Mingrui had to keep an eye on the situation in the bedroom through the gap in the closet. He squinted his eyes and tried his best to adapt to the dark environment. He vaguely saw a black figure appearing at the door of the bedroom.

After the man entered the bedroom, he walked to Ren Qin's bedside.

The man stood there silently watching "her" for a long time.

The scene is more intuitive when viewed from under the bed.

Xie Lin hid under the bed, the man's feet were only half a step away from him, and he stopped beside him for a long time.

In the closet, Ji Mingrui rested his fingers on the wooden pieces, and pressed down two of the wooden pieces in the shutter door. He widened his eyes and tried to see more clearly through the gap. He saw a reflective object in the man's hand— - That's a knife!

midnight.A strange man enters your room with a knife and stands at the head of the bed looking at you.

Ji Mingrui's heart stopped for half a beat.

And "Ren Qin" on the bed was completely covered in the quilt, not to mention trembling, and even his breathing rate didn't change. If Ji Mingrui hadn't known in advance that it was Chi Qing lying inside, he probably really thought that the other party was asleep.

Ji Mingrui said: his brother's psychological quality is really strong.

And the one under the bed... is also very strong.

"Qinqin." The man suddenly opened his mouth.

His voice was a little hoarse, whispering low and slowly.

Maybe it's because in tonight's plan, "she" won't survive the next day anyway, so it doesn't matter whether she will be discovered or not. The man didn't deliberately lighten up his movements, and he didn't use drugs to make her fall into a coma. He is not even afraid of waking "her" up by his own voice.

The black footsteps beside Xie Lin took a few steps forward, and then the black shadow flickered, and he got on the bed.

Chi Qing was lying on the right half, leaving more than half of the space on the left half. His whole face was buried in the quilt. Although lying on the bed was very boring, and if he was given more time, he might really fall asleep, but At this moment he is still awake.

With his eyes open, he clearly felt that the bed on the right side had sunk, and tried hard to resist the thought of kicking him off the bed.

The voice beside him was very close: "Qinqin, I didn't come to see you yesterday, I miss you very much."

"do you miss me?"

"Why do you miss me? You may not know me, but I have looked for you many times in the middle of the night, and I know everything about you."

The man's hoarse voice spoke intermittently, and he finally said: "Although you may never know me, you will always belong to me. This is the last time I come to you, Qinqin."

When the man spoke, he raised his hand and gently caressed the face of the person beside him through the quilt: "I found another girl, she is as beautiful as you, and she also lives in your community, that is the building in front of you. Maybe we'll meet again."

After he finished speaking, he pulled the quilt off "Ren Qin"'s face little by little.

In the next second, he found that "Ren Qin" who was covered in the quilt was not asleep at all... No, that's not Ren Qin!

Unsuspectingly, he met a pair of unfamiliar pupils that were darker than the night, and those terrifying pupils were staring straight at him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time," Chi Qing looked at him and said, "You talk a lot of nonsense." Chi Qing paused slightly after speaking, and read out his name, "...Zhou Zhiyi."
