"You can recite this mantra. It can help you calm down and concentrate. At the same time, it can also have some resistance against those things."
"Remember to keep in touch with me at any time. I'm on the subway now. Come right over."
"If you are really scared, you can still call me, but the signal may not be very good on the subway."
Lin Zheng sent the accurate version of "The Mantra of Rebirth" to Lan Mengjie via text message, and then sent several comforting messages.
Of course he knew that this thing actually had no effect.
But for Lan Mengjie, this thing is more useful than calling the police.
For example, for some people who are truly religious.
"The law will punish you" is far less effective than "The Lord will punish you and you will go to hell."
After the text message was sent, Lin Zhengcai lay down on the back of the subway seat and let out a long breath.
Even with 30 years of hard work, I am still a little tired after running all this way.
"The old landlady is either deliberately trying to scare people, or she really has a mental problem...
If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just move out when I get a bit more money from the box office share of “Happy Ghost”.”
Lin Zheng thought of the old landlady again. He really couldn't understand her strange behavior.
The subway moves quickly.
Lin Zheng lives in the north of Lishi, while Lan Mengjie lives on the southern edge.
There is a huge distance between the two.
Even the fastest intercity subway takes more than an hour and 40 minutes to get there.
Lin Zheng rested for a while and took out his mobile phone, only to find that he had not received a reply to the text message he sent a few minutes ago.
He waited another ten minutes, but still no reply.
Lin Zheng couldn't help but become a little anxious, and took the initiative to dial the phone while the signal was good.
Of course the call went through.
The blind tone kept ringing.
But no one picked up!
Until the operator automatically hangs up the phone.
Lin Zheng became even more anxious.
He immediately dialed another number, but still no one answered.
So I continued to send messages, but still nothing happened, no reply at all.
His heart gradually sank.
After making several more phone calls.
He finally changed his number and called the Li City Law Enforcement Team!
"Hello, this is Li City Law Enforcement Department. How can I help you?"
Lin Zheng immediately briefly introduced the process of the matter.
Then he reported the address that Lan Mengjie had given him before.
But after hearing the address, the law enforcer on the other end of the phone was suddenly stunned.
Then, he said something that made Lin Zheng's heart stop for a moment: "Are you sure this is the place? We received a call from the police twenty minutes ago, saying that a murder occurred here."
Twenty minutes ago?
Lin Zheng made a hasty calculation in his mind, and it was probably when he ended the call with Lan Mengjie and left home.
Lin Zheng's heart was racing and he asked quickly: "Comrade law enforcement officer, what is the situation? Who is the victim?"
The law enforcement officer on the other end of the phone spoke calmly: "Calm down, don't be anxious. We received the call not long ago. We will discuss the specific situation after we get there."
Lin Zheng asked some more questions, but no information came out.
He had no choice but to hang up the phone, and then immediately checked the time of the phone call between himself and Lan Mengjie.
Exactly twenty-four minutes ago.
Lin Zheng's brows knitted together tightly.
Of course he also knew that the victim of the murder was not necessarily Lan Mengjie.
But I have to say...this is really a bit too coincidental.
"I hope it's okay..."
Lin Zheng suppressed his anxiety, picked up the phone, and continued to call Lan Mengjie.
As long as the other party can answer the phone or reply to a message, it will make him feel more at ease.
But this time, as soon as the call was put through, the operator's emotionless electronic prompt came directly: "Hello, the number you dialed has been turned off, please try again later...sorry..."
Shut down!
Lin Zheng's pupils shrank, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger!
…
Lan Mengjie lives in a private rental apartment in the southern suburbs of Li City, which is relatively close to the airport and the rent is relatively cheap.
An hour and a half later, Lin Zheng left the subway station and rushed to the street where the apartment was located as quickly as possible.
Immediately I saw that in the late night lights, the whole street was dark and filled with people.
The streets were packed with water.
In the middle of the crowd, the unique red and yellow lights of the law enforcement team's vehicles were flashing continuously.
And behind where the law enforcement vehicles were parked.
It is an apartment building with a height of six floors and a width of about 30 meters.
There is a sign on the door of the building that has no light and is not very clear at night.
“Zhifu Apartment”
It's exactly where Lan Mengjie rents!
Lin Zheng didn't look much, and rushed into the crowd. With his strong physical fitness, he squeezed his way to the middle position.
Then I saw two white dotted lines painted on the street in front of the apartment.
One big and one small.
Shockingly, there were the outlines of two corpses.
As for the body, it is very likely that the on-site investigation has been completed and moved to another place.
Lin Zheng stared at the dotted line and looked carefully.
It can be roughly seen that the two corpses are not very similar to Lan Mengjie's body shape.
Looking up again, I saw that the window glass of a room on the edge of the sixth floor of Na Zhifu's apartment was completely shattered.
Obviously, these two people jumped from there.
Lin Zheng's mood finally relaxed a little.
Lan Mengjie does not live on the sixth floor.
At this moment, the chatter among the crowd reached his ears.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that someone jumped off the building. It's on the sixth floor. Did you see it? The windows of that room were shattered all over the floor."
"It seems like the mother jumped down with her child."
"They are the landlord's wife and children. Alas, the landlord of Zhifu Apartment is a good person. I also lived here when I first settled in Lishi. The rent is cheap. When money is tight, it's okay to owe a little."
"Old Liu is a well-known good guy from all over the country. How come this happens to a good guy?"
"He is fifty-eight this year, and he has a son at an old age. The child is only six years old. He is so big... In front of such a big landlord, it seems that their family is quite happy on weekdays. Why did he jump off the building after everything was fine? This is...
It’s so miserable to leave Lao Liu alone.”
"Eh? How did I hear that the one who died was a female tenant?"
Female tenant?
Lin Zheng's heartbeat, which had slowed down slightly, immediately picked up again!
(Note: The effect of the PDD armor was changed. It was changed to withstand nine normal attacks and not withstand fatal attacks. It was too late when I coded it, and the logic did not make sense, so I wrote it wrong.)
