At midnight, I heard a man shouting for help, which made my skin crawl.
To be honest, from an ordinary person's point of view, I should run away and stay away from this place.
But then the cries for help got louder and louder, and I really couldn't bear to leave. I thought that someone must be in trouble, and what Zhao Ruoxuan said kept coming to mind.
She said that if she didn't help others when they were in trouble, then others wouldn't come forward if she was in trouble in the future.
I quite agree with this, thinking that the person asking for help must be desperate at this time. If I just turn around and run away, maybe he will die miserably tonight.
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't take the step to leave. In the end, morality defeated my panic. I found a stone on the ground nearby, held it tightly in my hand, turned around and walked back to the far left of the three-way road.
The cry for help has now been replaced by the sound of another person's punches and kicks, accompanied by this person's roar: "Fuck, if you try to scream for help again, I will kill you tonight!"
The voice sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember who it was in my desperation.
When I borrowed the cover of the wall at the corner of the street and looked to the left, I saw three people not far away from the wall on the left.
Two of them were kicking a person who was curled up on the ground, and one of the people who hit him happened to be facing me.
Although the street lights at the intersection here were weak, I still recognized this guy at a glance. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Chen Chao, whom I had chased and beaten in the music store.
At this time, Chen Chao was angrily holding his hands on his hips, and his companions were still beating the man on the ground. However, since Chen Chao threatened him verbally, the man who was being beaten on the ground no longer dared to call for help.
Seeing this, I did not rush out impulsively, but hid around the corner and continued to observe.
Chen Chao kicked the man on the ground, squatted down, and said a few words in the man's ear.
There was about ten meters between us, and I couldn't hear what Chen Chao said to the man who was being beaten.
Afterwards, the man who was beaten gingerly took out an object from his arms and handed it to Chen Chao.
The man standing opposite Chen Chao immediately squatted down and looked at the objects with Chen Chao.
Then, the two looked at each other and nodded.
"You know what's going on, this is what happened. If you dare to tell anyone, I know you are a little thief and I will kill you sooner or later."
Chen Chao punched the man on the ground on the head with a vicious punch. The pain was so painful that the man said he would not tell anyone.
Chen Chao told the man who was being beaten to get out. The man turned over and struggled from the ground, running towards the darkness in the distance opposite me.
Chen Chao stood up with his companion. His companion had his back to me the whole time, so I couldn't see the man's appearance, but I could tell from the streetlight that this man was taller than Chen Chao.
"Brother Chao, I didn't expect that we were so lucky that we actually targeted that little thief just now. Hehe, this thing is probably very valuable, right?"
The man with his back to me asked Chen Chao with a smile.
I also heard from his words that the two of them, Chen Chao and Chen Chao, were gangsters and stole the things stolen by the thief who had just been beaten.
Chen Chao laughed and glanced at the corner where I was hiding. I was so shocked that I quickly retracted my head completely.
"Of course, it's worth at least 100,000 yuan. There's no surveillance on the road here. The two of us swallowed the little thief's food and treated it as nothing, hahaha..."
I didn't dare to look over there anymore, for fear of being accidentally seen by Chen Chao and the others. If I were caught tonight, Chen Chao wouldn't be as cowardly as he was at the piano store, because I witnessed their gangsterism.
It's illegal and they will never let me go!
I was just thinking, when suddenly in the dark night, Chen Chao's laughing voice suddenly stopped, replaced by a muffled sound, and then, I heard Chen Chao's surprised voice: "You...you..."
I noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stuck my head out. At the same time, I heard a scream from Chen Chao.
ah!
Chen Chao's shouts made my skin crawl again. I looked over and saw that Chen Chao opposite me fell on his back with a loud bang.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but tremble all over. Then, I saw the man with his back to me reach out his hand, squat down and quickly grab the object from Chen Chao's hand.
When the man stood up again, through the light, I finally saw clearly Chen Chao lying on the ground.
Oh my God, I saw a knife inserted into Chen Chao's chest at some point. The knife penetrated into the chest, leaving only the handle exposed outside the body.
Dark red blood spurted out from Chen Chao's chest.
Killed!
Holy shit, what's going on with this?
I was dumbfounded and stunned. I saw Chen Chao twitching after falling to the ground, and then he stopped moving.
The man who was with Chen Chao just now still didn't turn around. He held the items he snatched from Chen Chao in his hand, laughed and said to himself:
"Chen Chao, it's you who said it. There is no surveillance here. Don't blame me for being too cruel. People die for money and birds die for food. I am too poor to expose the blame. Even if you do it for my brother, you will not die unjustly!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the man with his back to me had a pretty good psychological quality. He tore off a piece of clothing from his body, squatted down again, and wiped the fingerprints on the handle of the knife with the clothing.
After doing all this, the man stuffed the clothes into his trouser pocket, held the stolen items, and ran quickly in the direction where the thief escaped just now.
At this time, a cold wind blew over from Chen Chao's side, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
I was completely stunned, my eyes fixed on the ground.
There, lying with a lifeless body, Chen Chao, but I, who unexpectedly saw all this, huddled in the corner, feeling that my legs and feet were constantly trembling and shaking.
For the first time in my life, I saw a murder take place with my own eyes!
Moreover, the person who died was still the Chen Chao I knew.
If you haven't seen someone killed in front of you, you can never imagine how horrific it is.
After a long while, I heard a vehicle passing by at the three-way intersection. I recovered from the shock and hurriedly stepped out from the corner.
I plucked up the courage, and after the vehicle drove away, I ran to the place half a meter away from Chen Chao's body and took a look.
I saw Chen Chao's eyes wide open. When he was about to die, he couldn't believe that his companion had stabbed him.
Chen Chao, never die in peace!
I was so frightened by Chen Chao's miserable death state that I quickly looked away from Chen Chao's face and glanced at his bloody chest.
After realizing that Chen Chao died tragically, I couldn't stay here alone. I was afraid that someone would suddenly show up at this time, and then I would be a murder suspect who could not explain myself.
I hurriedly turned around and rushed to the little yellow car over there at a very fast speed. When I scanned the code with my mobile phone, my hands were shaking due to excessive fright.
On the way to the city, all I could think about was the tragic death of Chen Chao. I originally thought about calling the police, but when I thought about the area, Chen Chao said there was no surveillance. If the police regarded me as a suspect, I would lose more than I gain.
Therefore, I experienced a strong struggle in my heart, and finally felt that it was better to do less than to do more, and did not choose to call the police.
After I got home that night, I soaked in hot water for nearly an hour in the bathroom. I reminded myself not to think about Chen Chao's murder, even though I didn't see the murder happening at all tonight.
This night was the most difficult night in my 22 years of life, because whenever I lay on the bed in the guest room, I could not help but think of the bloody Chen Chao.
I completely suffered from insomnia. It wasn't until dawn that I felt so tired that I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, it was almost noon. I saw four missed calls on my phone, and all of them were from Han Xinrui.
