Is the original owner awake?
Yang smiles, "I found that you actually cares about me so much, Chen ,thanks."
Chen immediately becomes annoyed. He was fooled again and he wonders if he is really old. If not, why was he always fooled successfully? He raises his leg and kicks, but Yang dodges. Chen complains unhappily,
"Tell me quickly, is there really anything discovered?"
"Chen, how could it be possible? If there was one, I would have caught him long ago."
Chen shakes his head. Yes, right, how could it be possible? He is just distracted by what happened just now, and then looks at Yang seriously and says,
"Don't joke about this stuff next time!"
"Yes! Sir. " Yang promises loudly, and then smiles and says, "Chen, I am also a policeman, even if I am new. You don't have to worry about me and I will take good care of myself."
Chen looks at Yang and thinks of how he looked when he first joined the police force, and he was also so high-spirited.
Then he shakes his head and stops sighing, turns around and asks, "What do you think of Alex ?"
Hearing Chen start to discuss the case, Yang stops playing around, thinking of the scene he and Alex have just encountered several minutes advanced, and says seriously,
"It makes people feel chilling. Even if he is laughing, there is still an inexplicable fear, just like facing a beast that chooses people to eat."
Chen listens to his description, and Alex 's eyes without any emotion just now appears in his mind. These eyes gradually overlaps with the eyes in his memory, and he finds that they were surprisingly similar.
"Could it be you?"
Alex suppresses the strange emotions arising in his heart and calms himself down.
He turns on his phone and plans to watch some videos to change his mind, but it is the opposite of what he wants. The murders that happened one after another has occupied the headlines of the news.
He watches several videos in a row, all of which are about this case. Just when he is about to turn it off, he hears a host talking mysteriously, saying that the devil is back again.
Alex thinks that this host is trying to attract attention and take advantage of the hot spots, because his tone is really not like the tone of reporting the case, but rather like telling a ghost story.
But Alex notices that the IP address shows that it is local. He does not turn off his phone, but starts to listen this program, maybe the host does know something.
The anchor says mysteriously that this is not the first time. Three years ago, a serial murder case occurred here and the case has not been solved yet. He swears that every local person knew about it.
Alex frowns and takes out the diary he carries with him anytime and begins to read it. He is surprised to find that what the anchor says is true. There is indeed a three-year blank period in the diary, followed by Tang 's death.
Alex was busy reading the content before and didn't pay attention to the date at all.
In other words, the original owner did not commit crimes for three years for unknown reasons. Three years later, he started committing crimes again. The first victim was Tang. The most important thing was that the method of committing crimes had changed dramatically. It was no longer the torture anymore, but was more inclined to pursue "art".
Alex is a little confused, but he is not puzzled about why the original owner suddenly changed his method of committing crimes, because he roughly understood that reason.
People are like this. When they are hungry, their minds are all about how to make themselves full, but when they are full, people think about doing something better. Normally, people call this phenomenon pursuit.
The original owner started killing people because of the so-called desire to "eat". After he became full, he began to pursue.
In fact, Alex wonders why the original owner stopped committing crimes in the past three years. Wasn't he "hungry"?
Alex had no clue for the time being.
He begins to search for information about the serial murder case and matches it with the diary one by one. The more he checks, the tighter his brows frowns.
Alex suddenly feels a strong sense of separation. In his opinion, since the original owner had completed the "evolution", why did the security guard die with previous method?
"Dessert" after the "main meal"?
Or the "staple food" in the "big meal"?
Moreover, Alex notices that the original owner was extremely meticulous. The victims seemed to be randomly selected, but in fact, the original owner noticed the distance factor. The victims were indeed randomly selected, but the location was not.
In order not to be locked by the police, he deliberately chose several places far away from his home to interfere with the direction of the police.
This is the source of the sense of separation,
The death of the security guard.
Since the original owner was so cautious, how could he commit crimes continuously in the same place? Doesn't this increase the risk of self-exposure?
Normally, the original owner should have ended after killing Tang, but there was an accident here. Jasmin turned on her light, which made the original owner suspect that she had discovered him, so the original owner killed her, which was reasonable.
But what about the security guard? Did the security guard also see something? Or know something?
Because only in this way it can explain why the original owner killed him, otherwise, unless the original owner was tired of living, he would commit crimes crazily in the same place.
Alex closes his eyes. If this guess is true, then what did the security guard find? He doesn't know for the time being.
But he knows that if the security guard really found something, the original owner must not have known about it at the beginning. If he had found it at that time, the security guard would have died earlier.
In other words, the security guard must have done something in the past few days that exposed his flaws and was discovered by the original owner, which is the reason why guard has been killed then.
Thinking of this, Alex suddenly freezes because he just has a terrifying guess. If this is true, it would be extremely terrible.
The original owner might have been awake for much longer than himself!
If Alex has to say that the security guard has done something recently that exposed his flaws, then it was only that day when he saw the security guard staring at Tang's photo. At that time, he also guessed that there might be a story between the security guard and Tang.
What does this mean? This means that the original owner knows everything he is experiencing now. The original owner follows him like a shadow, silently observing him in the dark, but he has no way of knowing the original owner's actions.
What's more, the original owner even knows the thoughts in Alex's mind? This can also explain why Alex understands the original owner more and more, because their thoughts are the same?
"No, this is too fantastic and ridiculous."
Then Alex shakes his head again, not ruling out this possibility, because he even has traveled through time, is there anything more fantastic than traveling through time?
If this is true, it seems that he has no way to stop the original owner.
Drunk? Drinking too much makes the body out of control, so the original owner can't kill people. He doesn't know if this method is effective? But he decides to try it tonight. He can't just leave it alone, right?
Now Alex couldn't communicate with the original owner, so he could only put this question aside for the time being. He decides to go downstairs to see if he could find any clues.
When he comes downstairs and looks at the messy empty space, his eyes narrow. He forgot one thing. If the security guard knew something, why didn't he tell the police?
Because of some reason he couldn't say it? Or did he not think that what he found was related to Tang's death?
Just as Alex is thinking, a scream interrupts him. He turns his head and sees a middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground crying, her hair is a little messy. A middle-aged man stands in front of her, and the man stretches out his hand and is a little at a loss.
Alex knows this man, who is the property manager of their apartment. He remembers that his name seems to be Liu.
It seems that he beat the woman. Did the couple have a conflict? However, Alex remembers that Liu has a good temper, who was cheerful and enthusiastic when he met anyone. Anyway, Liu doesn't look like a domestic violence person.
Liu sees Alex looking at him, smiles awkwardly, then squats down and tries to help the woman up, but the woman ignores him and just lowers her head and cries.
At this time, more and more people gather around. Liu discovers that someone takes out the mobile phone in order to call police, and he panics. If this matter is posted on the Internet, how could he live later? Domestic violence is always a hot topic.
