    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    The angle of the video seems to be fixed on a certain tree in an alley, looking down from top to bottom, you can clearly see every move in the entire alley.

    Bei Xiaofan watched for a long time with his mobile phone. The video has not been edited, and there is a long section of meaningless scenes in front of it.The long deserted alley made Bei Xiaofan almost think this was a prank video.

    Later, when Bei Xiaofan was getting impatient, a wobbly person finally appeared on the screen.

    The man was shambling, with a red head and a swollen face, reeking of alcohol.

    Bei Xiaofan stared at him for a while, and suddenly recognized who this person was.

    Isn't this the one, the one who deliberately turned off the switch at Yu Zhaozhao's house at night earlier, and was lying in front of her door?

    Bei Xiaofan pulled the colleague beside him, and asked him in a low voice: "The person who was brought back by the team in the middle of the night last time, is he still in administrative detention?"

    The colleague was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "That person was released last night."

    Then my colleague saw the video played on Bei Xiaofan's phone, and also recognized the person in the video: "What kind of video is this? It doesn't look like the quality of surveillance."

    The video is not only a picture, but also a sound recording, so the two of them soon heard the man's drunken abuse.

    The man was in the alley, venting the gloom in his heart, saying that he had lost his job and his family, he scolded the world, the government and the police, but Bei Xiaofan heard the most from him talking about Yu Zhaozhao.

    Hearing that man's obscenities towards Zhaozhao, Bei Xiaofan didn't want to listen anymore, she wanted to call to remind Yu Zhaozhao to pay attention to this man, but her action was interrupted by a sudden movement in the video.

    Behind the invisible man, but clearly recorded in the video, was a man in black who was fully armed and covered up and down and rushed up.

    He kicked the man to the ground from behind, then pressed him to bow left and right, and punched him down with his fists.

    The sound of the fist hitting the flesh is clearly recorded in the video.

    The man who was beaten didn't even have the strength to struggle. He curled up on the ground, and could only moan weakly in pain.

    "This, is this a violent incident? Where did you get the video?"

    The colleague wanted to stand up, but seeing that the background in the video was dark, and now it was clearly broad daylight, he sat down again.

    This is obviously not what happened at this time, and now the day lily is cold.

    "...someone sent it to my phone."

    Bei Xiaofan was still a little confused, and didn't understand why the person who shot this video sent this video.

    The shooting equipment was obviously set up in advance. How could the photographer predict what would happen in the alley in advance?

    Could it be that the photographer was the man in black who beat someone?Why should he record his criminal behavior?

    What other keywords... The image of the man in black obviously does not match their previous profile of the murderer.

    Bei Xiaofan: "Go and investigate the location of this street. If he left last night, he is probably not far away. Judging by his drunken appearance, there should be drinking places nearby. Then ask the nearby hospital, Have you found this wounded man?"

    "Okay, this matter needs to be reported—" The colleague pointed up.

    Bei Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Let me finish reading first."

    The man in black struck really hard, and the man curled up on the ground didn't even have the strength to moan///moan in pain.Bei Xiaofan only watched the video, and felt that the other party was about to kill him.

    Finally, the man in black stopped.

    He seemed to sense signs of someone else outside the alley, so he stopped and walked away quickly.

    Bei Xiaofan thought the video would end here, but just when she thought so, the next person in the video made her froze on the spot.

    That is a sanitation worker that can be seen everywhere in the city.

    He seemed to be working at night, and happened to pass by this alley. When he saw the man lying on the ground, the sanitation worker stepped forward hesitantly.

    Just when Bei Xiaofan thought the sanitation worker was going to call the police, the sanitation worker actually took out a roll of... plastic wrap from his pocket?!

    And the scene after that made Bei Xiaofan completely stunned. The sanitation worker wrapped the plastic wrap layer by layer around the man's face, and finally grabbed the man's neck.

    Isn't this method exactly the same as the prisoner they were looking for?

    Is this sanitation worker a serial murderer?!

    And the video in front of him is the murderer's latest murder video?!

    Bei Xiaofan still wanted to know what happened next, but when the sanitation worker grabbed the man's neck with both hands, the video went black instantly.

    Only then did Bei Xiaofan realize that the progress bar of the video had come to an end.

    Bei Xiaofan immediately found Feng Lv and gave him the video.

    After watching the video, Feng Lv's reaction was not as excited as Bei Xiaofan's, and he calmly gave the order: "In the originally locked area, see if there is this sanitation worker."

    Soon, someone gave an answer.

    Although there is no such person, his image fits the previous profile of criminals very well.

    He was originally an elementary school teacher in the countryside, but because his mother was ill, he came to the city to see a doctor.As a result, there was a car accident on the road. After the car accident, he was seriously injured and could not recover. His girlfriend who was about to get married also left him.

    After that, his mother died of illness, just two months ago.

    Then he quit his job at the school and became a sanitation worker.

    It was missed because the person's residence was not in that area.

    Although he was a sanitation worker, he was a temporary worker without a staff, so he was not kept in the file.

    It was even soon discovered that if the identity of the serial murderer was the sanitation worker, many things could be explained.

    Because of the nature of his work, he has a good understanding of the surveillance cameras in this area, and his work is unobtrusive, even if he walks in the streets, he will not make people vigilant.

    Originally, Bei Xiaofan didn't recognize the man when he looked at the photo of the man in the teacher's time in the file.

    It wasn't until she saw the other party's recent photos that she cried out in surprise.

    She had seen this person near Yu Zhaozhao's home before!

    According to the scope of responsibility of the other party's work, they would never appear near Yu Zhaozhao's flower shop.

    There are indications that this sanitation worker is the suspect in the serial murder they are investigating.

    Just when everyone was pleasantly surprised, Feng Lv poured cold water on it: "Someone sent this video specially, which is enough to show that the sender knows what the content of this video represents."

    "Why did he predict in advance that the suspect would attack a man? Before this, the suspect had never attacked a man, but why did he suddenly..."

    While talking, Feng Lv fell silent.

    He thought of one thing in common.

    Yu Zhaozhao.

    This man had done bad things to Zhao Zhao, and the suspect's various behaviors clearly coveted Zhao Zhao.

    The life and death of that man is unknown, if Yu Zhaozhao is affected by it...

    Thinking of this, Feng Lv bluntly concealed what he was going to say. He turned his head and ordered: "Send someone to the hospital to investigate whether someone sent the man to the hospital, and at the same time another group of people went to the scene of the accident to investigate to see if there are any relevant traces.Stay, and better find any leads on whoever placed the cameras."

    Seeing the other people's ready-to-go, Feng Lv felt an inexplicable feeling for some reason.

    This trip, they will not gain anything.

    So in the car, Feng Lv asked Bei Xiaofan to make a special call to Yu Zhaozhao.

    Tell Yu Zhaozhao to be careful in the near future to avoid any accidents.

    After hearing what Bei Xiaofan said, Yu Zhaozhao planned to go back to the hotel and stay for a few more days.It's just that before she had time to take a taxi, another call came in suddenly.

    Yu Zhaozhao thought that Bei Xiaofan had something to say, so he didn't see the caller ID on the phone, so he connected directly.

    "elder sister."

    Hearing this sister, Yu Zhaozhao shook his hand and almost dropped the phone on the ground.

    It's really haunting.

    Yu Zhaozhao said angrily, "Didn't I block you?"

    "Well, I borrowed someone else's mobile phone to call you." Cheng Jin said with a smile, "Sister, did the police already tell you?"

    Yu Zhaozhao immediately reacted: "You posted the video?"

    Cheng Jin: "If I didn't post the video, they don't know when they will find it."

    Yu Zhaozhao said as he walked, "What does that have to do with me?"

    Cheng Jin: "The police should be rushing to his home now, but there is no one in his home because he is here with me."

    "Sister, don't you want to take revenge? Don't you want to know the truth? You can pay back how he hurt you. In this way, it is better to get justice for those innocent people than handing it over to the police directly?"

    Yu Zhaozhao stopped suddenly, her breathing became a little heavier.

    Cheng Jin smiled knowingly: "Sister, my address is... don't let those puppies who follow you come over."

    Yu Zhaozhao stood at the entrance of the mall for a while, then turned around and walked in.

    She found a women's clothing store, took a random piece of clothing and entered the dressing room.

    For a long time, those who were arranged by Feng Lv to protect Yu Zhaozhao secretly did not see Yu Zhaozhao coming out of the locker room.

    When they found the female shop assistant and opened the door of the dressing room, they found that the room Yu Zhaozhao entered was empty.

    There were only the clothes that Yu Zhaozhao had changed, and the note she left behind asking them to help with the checkout.

    Yu Zhaozhao herself changed her clothes, loosened her hair and put on the sunglasses in her bag. She left quietly from the other side of the dressing room.

    The address Cheng Jin gave Yu Zhaozhao was a villa in the suburbs.

    Yu Zhaozhao didn't go there completely unprepared.

    In case Cheng Jin changed his mind, Yu Zhaozhao sent Yu Fangli a message.

    If she doesn't send Yu Fangli a message after an hour, please Yu Fangli call Bei Xiaofan and tell her where she is.

    It is said that it is a villa, but it actually looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

    The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and the stone slabs still had the mud and sand after the rain a few days ago, and there was no grass around, making it look a bit desolate.

    When Yu Zhaozhao arrived at the door, the taxi driver was still a little worried, wondering what she, a delicate girl, was doing here.

    Even though the girl in front of her was wearing a pair of wide sunglasses that covered half of her face, her small and pointed chin was white and translucent, enough to see her outstanding appearance.

    "Thank you, I have friends here."

    Yu Zhaozhao nodded slightly to the driver, and then approached the villa.

    The villa looked a little messy, but when he got to the door, Yu Zhaozhao found that the door was not as dusty as she had imagined.

    Yu Zhaozhao opened the door. The door was not locked. The inside was empty, but it was surprisingly clean. It seemed that someone had cleaned it specially.

    Yu Zhaozhao's heels stepped on the marble floor, even though she had lightened her steps, there was still a rattling sound.

    Then, Yu Zhaozhao heard some movement in one direction.

    Yu Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, then walked cautiously towards the direction of movement.

    The villa looked spotless, but a bit eerie.

    Yu Zhaozhao walked along where the sound came from, and found a door panel.

    She pushed open the door panel, and there was a downward staircase behind the door panel, and there was a basement underneath.

    Yu Zhaozhao only hesitated for a second, then walked to the basement.

    Unexpectedly, the basement is not as scary as Yu Zhaozhao imagined, but very empty.

    Almost nothing, just a table and some chairs.

    Yu Zhaozhao immediately remembered that this place was a bit like the police interrogation room she had been to.

    And just like Yu Zhaozhao was in the interrogation room, there was a person sitting behind the desk.

    It's just that this person's situation was different from hers at that time. A pair of handcuffs was fixed on the table, and his hands were handcuffed.

    Yu Zhaozhao looked at the man for a while, and found that he was an old man with long hair and a scruffy beard, who she didn't remember well.

    Where is Cheng Jinren?

    What was he doing imprisoning the old man here?

    Unlike Yu Zhaozhao's calmness, the old man sitting behind the table was not so calm when he saw Yu Zhaozhao.

    When he saw Yu Zhaozhao, his eyelids twitched violently, his eyes suddenly became more alive, and he looked straight at Yu Zhaozhao in front of the door.

    Meeting his gaze, Yu Zhaozhao unexpectedly felt a tinge of coolness.

    There is also an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

    Before Yu Zhaozhao had time to recall, there was a sound of moderate footsteps on the stairs behind her.

    Yu Zhaozhao turned his head and saw that it was indeed Cheng Jin who had come.

    Cheng Jin smiled when he saw Yu Zhaozhao: "Why didn't you go in? Or did he scare you?"

    Yu Zhaozhao frowned: "You just find an old man and call him a serial murderer?"

    "Old man?" Cheng Jin seemed to have heard some joke, and smiled very happily, "Sister, you are someone who has been in contact with him, how could you be deceived by him?"

    Then it didn't mean what Zhao Zhao said, Cheng Jin strode to the side of the sanitation worker.

    He reached out his hand unceremoniously, and pulled up the strands of hair that fell on both sides and covered his face.

    Yu Zhaozhao frowned and looked at it. Only then did he realize that the "old man" in front of him was not really old after his hair was lifted up.

    Aside from the messy beard, although there are deep grooves on the skin, there are not many.

    There are indeed traces of wind and frost, but on closer inspection, this "old man" is actually only forty or fifty years old.

    This is the person who killed the two girls and then strangled her neck tightly on that rainy day?

    Yu Zhaozhao's eyes fell on the man's hands on the table.

    Very ordinary hands.

    Yu Zhaozhao asked doubtfully, "How did you find him?"

    Yu Zhaozhao remembered that day, the system told her that the person who attacked her was wearing a hood.

    Therefore, Cheng Jin should not be able to see his face.

    Cheng Jin: "Didn't you notice that he often appears near your flower shop? There should be seven or eight times. Although he has restrained himself, the number of times is not too many. But I have a good relationship with the aunts around me. They told me, the sanitation workers in charge of that street are all women."

    Yu Zhaozhao was a little speechless: "Why do you even know this?"

    Cheng Jin: "As long as you ask those aunts a little bit, not only his identity, but also his birth date can be found out, which is much better than those slow-moving policemen."

    And at this moment, the man who had been silent all this time finally spoke.

    His voice was like rubbing against gravel, very rough, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time: "So that's how it is."

    "That man was also you who stayed there on purpose to let me take the bait?"

    Cheng Jin: "You must have been very angry when you heard what my sister said about you? Said you were a coward, a coward,"

    Yu Zhaozhao saw that the man's cheeks twitched violently when he heard the word coward.

    Cheng Jin: "So you don't even hide. Under the trend of anger, you know that someone is still coming out, and take back your envelope full of disgusting content."

    "You heard your sister call you a coward."

    "So after that, you always wanted to find an opportunity to prove to your sister that you are not a coward, not a coward."

    "Although you have been exercising all the time, once you reach this age, your physical fitness will decline. In terms of physical strength, it is impossible for you to compare with young and strong young people."

    "So I understand that if there is an obvious opportunity in front of you, there is a high probability that you will do it."

    "Oh, you were the one who beat up that man." The middle-aged man probably felt that the matter had come to an end, and there was no need for him to hide it.

    He looked straight at Yu Zhaozhao without blinking.

    There was a crazy metaphor in his eyes, and he was a little hysterical: "My little bird, did you hear me? I am not a coward at all, I am not a coward. Not only did I kill those two women, I also killed a man yesterday, a threesomeA man in his teens."

    "You don't know, when the blood vessels in their necks are beating under my hands, they are so alive, it makes me feel that I am still alive..."

    Cheng Jin sneered: "You are really old, haven't you noticed? That person is not dead."

    "...Impossible," the middle-aged man's face twitched violently again.

    His only confidence was shattered in an instant, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

    The middle-aged man stared at Cheng Jin with anger and jealousy in his eyes. He said loudly, as if he wanted to use the volume of his heart to cover up the weakness in his heart, "Impossible, I killed him with my own hands!"

    "So," the more angry the other party was, the brighter the smile on Cheng Jin's face, "after I knocked you out, I called 120. With your strength that would make you gasp and exhausted in less than a minute, now he might lie downAre you going to sleep in a hospital bed?"

    "It seems that not only is your lower body weak, but you are also old. What's the use of a person like you?"

    "I don't! I'm not!"

    His most shameful sore spot was exposed in front of the people he cared about the most, the middle-aged man could no longer maintain his superficial calm, and the handcuffs on his wrists were ringing.

    But Cheng Jin seemed not to see it, and said to Yu Zhaozhao with a smile: "You don't know, this man, he had a car accident a few months ago, there, he is useless."

    "That's why he starts to attack women, but he can't do anything to them at all. Because of him, he can't."

    "Ahhh!"

    The man's anger made the table move on the ground due to his strength even though his hands were imprisoned on the table, making harsh noises.

    "For a trash like you, you can also tell my sister about your so-called love?"

    The man was even a little out of breath.

    The blood on his face was completely gone, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears.

    As Yu Zhaozhao said, he is a coward and a coward.

    He didn't even dare to take revenge on the people around him, who he really hated. He carefully picked random targets, just because they would not be found by the police.

    He is thoughtful and tacitly understands all the traces, and he can only hide in dark corners on weekdays, like a bedbug.

    But he didn't expect that after planning for more than a month, the first time he started, something went wrong.

    He met a woman he couldn't get his hands on.

    While yearning for her beauty and purity, he cast aside his own filth and sin.

    Knowing that there is a risk of exposure when approaching her, he still wants to approach her.

    Tell her your yearning for her, your love for her.

    Then was immersed in such a quagmire, unable to extricate self, or in other words, did not want to extricate self.

    "Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao... Don't believe him, it's not true... I can do it, I'm a man, I'm not a coward..."

    The man pursed his lips, his pupils dilated slightly, he looked in Yu Zhaozhao's direction, and muttered her name in his mouth.

    Yu Zhaozhao turned his head in disgust, only feeling that his own name would be extremely disgusting to say from this man's mouth.

    "Sister," Cheng Jin returned to Yu Zhaozhao's side at some point.

    He held a roll of plastic wrap in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his voice was like a devil whispering with deep temptation, "Don't you want to try? Did he make you very sad at the time?"

    "Killed so many girls, but after he was caught by the police, it was over with one shot, and he didn't experience the pain of death at all."

    "What kind of pain he gave you, you should return it to him as it is. This is fair, isn't it?"

    Yu Zhaozhao was silent for a while, and looked at Cheng Jin with an idiot look: "Do you think I'm stupid? Don't do it alone, do you want to be a murderer?"

    "...Sister, I will take the blame for you!" Cheng Jin pouted.

    "If you want to go into the water, don't drag me along."

    Yu Zhaozhao originally came here just to know why he wanted to kill people.

    But after listening for a long time, Yu Zhaozhao found that the other party's thinking was so ridiculous.Just because of his physical disability, he had to take revenge on innocent people and satisfy his own selfish desires.

    Now that Yu Zhaozhao knew about it and her wish was fulfilled, she didn't want to stay here any longer.

    Yu Zhaozhao asked coldly, "Are you calling the police or should I call the police?"

    Cheng Jin: "...I will report."

    Although Cheng Jin said so, Yu Zhaozhao still didn't believe him too much.

    So she also made a call herself, wanting to call Bei Xiaofan.

    But Bei Xiaofan guessed that he was on duty, so the phone didn't get through.

    Yu Zhaozhao thought for a while, then edited a text message and sent the address to Feng Lv.

    The moment the address was sent out, a system that hadn't been seen for a long time suddenly popped up.

    System: "Zhao Zhao, you just finished your mission?"

    "What?" Yu Zhaozhao himself was a little taken aback, "Didn't I fail in the mission of this world from the very beginning?"

    System: "I thought so too at first, but just now your task was completed in an instant. I guess, it should only ask to catch the criminals who committed serial murders, so even if the plot deviates a little at the beginning, after you justThe moment the address is told to Feng Lv, the plot mission is considered complete."

    Yu Zhaozhao asked in a whimsical way: "This is okay? Then do you have energy? Can you help me repay the loan?"

    System: "... Zhaozhao, you can still pay back, but you can no longer stay in this world. Originally, you could stay here, but because you died long ago in the plot of this world, you have been in danger all the time., It is also because the world is adjusting. So even if the mission is completed, you can no longer stay in this world, and the will of the world will immediately let you die."

    "...You didn't say it earlier!!!"

    Everyone in Yu Zhaozhao is stupid, so why does she work so hard to open a store to make money, just put it badly and wait for the police to arrest her?

    Yu Zhaozhao asked depressedly: "Then when will I leave? Will it just disappear?"

    System: "I should choose a way to let you die, I have energy now, I can block your pain, it won't hurt!"

    "So I ask you when..."

    Before Yu Zhaozhao could finish his words, he felt his world spinning for a while.

    Then her legs went limp and fell to the ground, and then she saw Cheng Jin running towards her with a face full of fear.

    Cheng Jin hugged Zhaozhao in his arms, he opened and closed his mouth, but Yu Zhaozhao didn't hear anything.

    It was really as the system said, it didn't hurt at all, but Yu Zhaozhao could clearly feel that life was passing by.

    The last thing she saw was Cheng Jin's red eyes.

    In the next second, the world in front of Yu Zhaozhao was covered in darkness, and she never opened her eyes again.

    When Feng Lv arrived with his people, he found that the person who was still angry at him on the phone last night was lying quietly on the sofa in the villa, without any heaving in his chest.

    She was still so beautiful, so beautiful that his soul trembled and his blood froze.

    But he couldn't speak anymore.

    Bei Xiaofan, who was behind him, also sensed an ominous aura. She staggered forward, then ran to the sofa, knelt on the ground, and reached out to touch her breath.

    No, nothing.

    "how so?!!"

    Bei Xiaofan grabbed Cheng Jin's collar, she roared viciously, but tears flowed uncontrollably: "You killed her?!"

    Cheng Jin didn't struggle, he didn't even refute, he just stared blankly at the speechless person on the sofa with a lost look.

    He also wanted to ask, did he kill her?

    Or, he'd rather be him...

    "Xiaofan..." The colleague at the side grabbed Bei Xiaofan's clothes and persuaded in a low voice, "120 has already come, and he said yes, he suffered a cardiac arrest."

    Cardiac arrest?

    Bei Xiaofan almost laughed out loud, how could it be a sudden cardiac arrest?

    Yu Zhaozhao is the young man with the most regular schedule she has ever seen.

    She didn't even have a history of heart disease, so how could she die of sudden cardiac arrest?!

    Bei Xiaofan felt pain and regret in his heart.

    Yu Zhaozhao called her before, but she didn't answer.

    She didn't even answer the other party's last call...

    Bei Xiaofan was filled with despair, and his whole body was shaking.

    Suddenly, Bei Xiaofan seemed to think of something, and she raised her head expectantly to look at the man standing silent like an iceberg: "Block the team, seal the team! You must have a way to save her, right?? Ban the team!"

    "...Take the suspect into custody first, and then," Feng Lv paused, his fingers trembling slightly, and said with difficulty, "Contain the corpse and notify relatives."

    "Block the team?!"

    Bei Xiaofan's shout seemed to be separated by some barrier, far away.

    Feng Lv's soul also seemed to have left this body, calm and unwavering.

    Until the moment he walked out of the villa, Feng Lv coughed violently and lowly, with the smell of rust filling his mouth.

    He silently looked at the red dots on the palm of his hand, and then slowly closed them.

    This dream is too short.

    The author has something to say:

    Accept all criticism!As I write, I also feel that what I write is completely different from what I originally expected.

    Even the outline that was just written the day before will change the next day... really don't have enough writing power to handle this kind of subject matter.

    I have a lot of worries in my heart. The image of the characters is constantly changing. I want to write about beauty, but I am afraid that the appearance will affect the plot, so I don’t care about both ends

    It's my fault!you are right

    _(:з”∠)_I hope this kind of problem won’t happen in the next world!! want to write about the end of the world in the next world, but it’s not like zombies, strange beasts...

    Then Mary Sue's Zhao Zhao saves the world, probably like this!
